That's the same problem I'm having. It occurs regardless of the kernel used (stock/Williams/Doom). In fact, I have tried almost every KK ROM (UBL/LBL) in the dev section; also CM 10.1/MIUI (4.2.2). All of them have a constant 20-40% cpu usage at IDLE (at least four me ;)), while doing nothing ("android system" is using it; specifically "system_server" is using the cpu [in the output of "top" command]). This is after media scanning is finished of course. And system_server seems to consume a significant part in batterystats. (But seems to have a good "deep sleep" when the screen is off).

Actually I checked cpu usage after clean flashing of ROMs, wiping all data/cache/dalvik. Not even flashed gapps (so, no sync etc). Unmounting external sd card doesn't change anything. Changing from DalvikVM to ART doesn't change anything. Once I went on removing trivial looking system apps one by one.. but problem stays. Idk what's wrong.. :(

Btw, Logcat continuously rolls out the following in this Slimkat ROM..

I/sysmon-tsens_tz_sensor0( 1241): sensor_work - read value = 450

I'll post some screenies to give you some idea of what I'm "suffering" from:

CPU usage at IDLE is seen in CoolTool app.. hovering around 30%

"Top" command gives "system_server" as the culprit..

"top|grep system_server" to see it's usage (updated around every 2 seconds).. usage seems quite high!

In wakelock detector this "ActivityManager-Launch" is always on top. Anything related? (I was running CPU monitor, that's why it's on top in this ss)

Attached...

[Highlight] Anyone having an idea what could be causing this idle cpu usage... help is greatly appreciated. Thanks![/highlight]

To install a custom kernel you have to unlock your bootloader first and then just flash the kernel

This rom is awesome, 0 freeze. But i have problem with the sensitivity of the screen, i find it way more responsive compare to stock or stock based roms. Especially when i need to pinch for multitasking. Any idea for improvement?

Edit can anyone help me with Hk Themer, cant use it i have FC
[Xperia SP Android Development] BoShowbiz:
OK, I think I have some more information about the wifi issues I've been having..

Background first - one of the reasons I decided to flash a Kitkat ROM (I have tried both this and the CM11) was that I bought myself a nice new Sony SWR-10 band. I was going to buy a Z1C to go with it but on seeing that the SP had a 4.4 ROM, I decided I didn't need to - it needs Bluetooth LE and Kitkat for the Sony apps to work.

Once my SWR-10 is paired, I find that my wifi only works when I switch off bluetooth - which means that when I close the Bluetooth LE connection to the wristband, I can use wifi. I don't mind using a bit of mobile data but if I'm flashing a clean install fairly regularly, I can get through quite a bit of data, and this ROM doesn't seem to have very good mobile signal - it was about 40-50% better with the stock 4.3 ROM.

Do you think you might be able to look into why the BLE connection is causing he wifi to not work? It's not a deal breaker now that I know what the problem is but that combined with the low signal I get sure is a pain!

Thanks in advance (and sorry for long post!)
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrhnet:
Yes, slimkat doesn't have the performance tab of cm. But, settings to change game graphics quality and performance (eg: 16bit, dithering) could be set by build.prop settings if needed. Check here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53066285

For the theme engine, you should ask that to the slim team ^^

And adjusting sensitivity to "very low" in auto brightness, reduces CPU usage from system server to half, that means 13-14%.

[Xperia SP Android Development] mpiero11:
Great job!!!

:good: Great, great job, i love slimkat, previous rom eXistenZ stock based, and slimkat like more.

Any issues:

Consumition (night mode) is more than stock based roms

Example, nigth mode, wifi/data off, only phone active, all apps with greenify (the same stock/slim) hibernated:

Stock: 1%-3%

Slimkat: 6%-10%

How can we improve this?

Can disable fastdormancy in this rom or fastdormancy not word in slimkat?

The wifi signal is less than the stock, 1-2 dashes less.

Example, same place, same wifi(workplace):

Stock: 4-5 stripes of 5

SlimKat: 2-3 stripes of 5

You can increase the wifi signal? (Buildrop? Tweaks?)

Sony Xperia SP Model no apears in slimroms.net?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Power consumption is due to lack of stimina mode, use something like greenpower (i use paid version) for similar results. Existenz generally 3-4% overnight, CM11/Slimkat usually 4% solid set to data/wifi off when screen locked only sync when screen unlocked.

Wifi signal, not noticed any worse signal on slimkat or CM11 over existenz 3.3.0.

Xperia SP isnt officially supported hence why the zips state unofficial and its for LBL. Its built up by Bagyusz for us not through slimroms.
[Xperia SP Android Development] mpiero11:
In eXistenZ i not use stamina, use tasker, for data/wifi/sync off, from 00:00 to 8:00, and with SlimKat use the same tasker task and power cosumption of slimkat is 3-6% more than the stock based eXistenZ. I have installed BetterBattery status, for view what process/apps cause wakelock and major consumition.

I insist, Wifi signal is less from eXistenZ, also tested in my home house wifi, 1-2 dashes less(+-)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Not sure then as ive never used tasker but I get as stated with greenpower which is fine for me.
[Xperia SP Android Development] subwrc:
1. Have you tried changing the default governor? Try Wheatley or lionheart. In the night, in 7 hours with wifi, cell and data on I have about a 3% drop.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Taker switch automaticaly off data, wifi and sync, from 00:00 to 8:00, as if you did your manually at 00:00 tuned off wifi data and sync... no more.

And is the same system of my old eXistenZ rom.

you know if i can disable fastdormancy or is not necessary in this slim roms?

however i'll wait a few days to settle the rom...
