My little Antutu is much more longer than yours... :cool:

But seriously I don't really get why a benchmark score is so important. ROM is fast, UI is smooth, games don't lag, battery lasts as expected from this AMOLED torch. What more do you people want? ;)

Ah, I see, you're Bond... because The world is not enough... :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Other than adding my setting profiles to the ramdisk I don't change anything in the kernel source.

I do however build with the latest SaberMod 4.9.1 toolchain. I'm not sure what Alucard uses ATM, but seeing that the kernel size is about the same I expect he is also using SaberMod 4.8.4 or 4.9.1. You can check that with Antutu if you are interested.

And like the Rom itself I also included the latest kernel commits. So even if the kernel has the same version number it can still differ from the released version.

I will not publish the kernel separately out of respect for Alucard. It's his kernel and as far as I'm concerned he is the only one releasing flashable kernel versions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Those who are following me a bit longer know I do not, and never will use any benchmark apps.

I just don't believe them. I'm sure I can tweak the kernel so that the scores will much higher but why and at what cost.

For me it's about the optimal balance between performance and battery life. And I use my own experience to determine if performance is good enough for me. That's my benchmark.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gerxp:
Well thats a good thing. But in your first post you say it is "even faster and smoother"....

And you talk about a few "optimisations".

And "compared to official it is build for speed"...

Reading that I expected it to be abit faster. Sorry for misunderstanding if you meant something different :)

Edit:

As first time user I didnt realise performance is realised by STweaks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MarceloSiciliano:
Kantjer can you make a performance focused build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sevsman:
Saber build is performance based! Open stweaks and apply the performance profile !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] svd1977:
Flashed and tried different rom for 3 days, but like others said, you will missed the smoothness of ssk, so here i am again with the latest build of this rom and latest beta gapps without any issues atm.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
It seems to me you are right - if you have experienced zero freezes then then there must be something different in your setup.

I'm also wondering about the way we actually use our phones - I often use mine prolonged periods of time (2hours sometimes) and much multitasking.

Do you use yours like that also?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
read post #4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
usage ... depends, but i have to answer yes ... sometimes I am barelly touching it whole day and sometimes I have to charge at 12:00 :) ... so yes I am using it pretty much as it is my personal PC, internet browser, communicator, game console, camera, hobby and much more ...

so I wouldn't suspect usage to be the constraint
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aeroman:

Hey [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] I've been using this rom for two days now and i have to say it is awesome. Those optimizations have taken our phone to another level. I am using the rom with f2fs and alucard stock settings.

I did a test based a post you made here. I did a online nandroid backup and it took 13 minutes to finish on ext-sd and 11 minutes to sdcard0. The size is 2GB give or take. What could be wrong?

P.S. This size takes like 5 minutes in recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
JustArchi is optimising his flags and making new fixes with the next few days.. Hopefully we get them too :p

Great job bro and keep up the good work.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Been running this awesome ROM for several days (latest as of this morning) and this thing is great! I'm not sure it's even possible to make my phone faster(snappy/zero lag /great data) then it is now, thanks for your great work! Hopefully a unified (jflte) thread is made soon so your builds can be enjoyed by all++jflte++ (I just happened to stumble upon this :))

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
After one and a half day without any freezes I just had 4 in one hour.. one of them restarted my systemui as well.

I'm sure it's an aosp Rom issue. Had this with pretty much every kernel/Rom combination I've tried and freezes are always there. I'm almost sure it's a ram thing as correctly kantjer already said.

Happens mostly when I'm doing several stuff at the same time (video playing in the background while I'm posting in xda in a small xfloating Window and getting a hangouts notification in another small window at the same time.. aaaaand Freeze!).

Well that doesn't change the fact that this build is by far the best I've flashed for along time now and that this is a phone and not a bloody computer to do 10 stuff at the same time so.. all good :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
I have a weird issue... I wanted to backup my internal sdcard to PC, but I can't copy files...It takes ages to calculate time required to copy files, even when I try to copy a few files. First I thought it's because of Fast Charge enabled, but I disabled it in Stweaks, but the problem still exists... Anyone else? Any possible solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I had something similar months ago. If I remember correctly a PC and phone reboot solved it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Tried that too... No luck. I was messing with USB storage mode in Stweaks, no luck. Changed USB ports in PC, no luck. I'm out of ideas...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
Sorry for double posting but have you got any idea about my question. Cheers friend.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Maybe try a different cable?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
I resolved it by temporary flashing official 5.4 weekly with stock kernel. Files are copied in a blink of an eye. So I believe there's an issue with Alucard kernel, or with optomizations of SlimSaber. But there would be a lot of reports, and AFAIK I'm the only one with this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Is it just me or is the touch sensitivity better on SlimSaberKat than on official SlimKat? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Nope - file transfers to pc working fine here wonksy, copied a twrp 1.5gb backup over to pc in less than minute, copied files back to sd card no problems either. .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] coyttl:
Yes, it happens in this ROM as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Now you say that, I was having some issues on old slim, haven't had on ssk - hadn't really thought about it until now though, but that does make sense.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Not for me it doesn't (and that's without kantjers workaround 'super glue home button' lol)

Grrrrrrrrr...... ... ... ... .... .. Just got another freeze!!!

I'm seriously considering opening a thread just for discussion of these random freezes as they seem non rom or kernel specific, and are being discussed atm in at least 4 threads I participate in :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
is it worth flashing SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140705.zip today or rather wait for new SK version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I should wait if I where you ;)

I'm waiting for the new weekly version number to be pushed, that's usually the sign the team fished uploading all commits and the build can start.

Both "Rewrite Quiet Hours" and "Heads Up" are already pushed, so they will be included in the next weekly.

EDIT: nice way to ask for an ETA without breaking XDA rules :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
I ve been formulating the sentence whole night ... really why I asked is I don't need to flash 2x a day ... and it is monday ... the Slim Holiday :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Next version preview:

EDIT: I had a lot calendar FC's with Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.6.0-137, reverted back to 127 beta and all is fine again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gerxp:
Not sure if this is documented.

I remember it was a feature in a previous rom I used.

I just can not find it in Slimkat Settings:

If I double tap the status bar it will put the screen off.

Really nice feature.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
There is no setting for that, it just works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
It should be called Triple tap on SlimKat though ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I normally never use it (like a shake event better) but tried it and double tap worked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Double tap works good for me even with an xposed module that modifies the status bar
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
Me too :P Just to show off... I press the power button most of the time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
I've investigate a bit on my reboot problems when playing some games.

Look like it's a temperature issue.

If someone knows those things a bit better than I do, it could be a good idea to play around with stweak setting to solve than.

If no one wants to do it, I'll try to do that myself and let you guys know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
I play games (a lot of the time while charging) I only stop playing because the phone starts burning my fingers at the top half of the screen, my phone never reboots due to overheating.

I have raised the throttle temp to 80°C (from 70)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
And this is how it looks with Slim's "Heads Up" and incoming call in the background.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Like Flanje said... I'd try raising the throttle temp by 10 degrees... Or turn it right off. I bet raising it will fix that reboot issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Or try enabling "CPU core controls" it's enabled in the SSK profiles
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
That's better for over all Heat/Temp management.... And it wouldn't hurt performance while playing games? Just wondering so I know. I don't really play games on my phone anyways

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Another thing I've just noticed in STweaks is " Arch Power" although I think I know what that means or may mean.... What exactly does it do ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Does Heads Up works wit third party sms apps? I use EvolveSMS and wonder if it will notify me :)

This is historical moment - me not flashing latest release available :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sevsman:
On some ROMs you can swipe down on the screen and the status bar comes down, does anyone know how to do that on this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
My guess is we won't see lock screen notification in the next weekly.

It's in review, but it's been in review for quite some time. I have even seen comment from Slim team members questioning if it even is a feature that should appear in Slim.

I think I'm going to test Floatify, looks really nice for lock screen notifications.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Thats a launcher feature, Nova gestures can make that happen.

I'm have been using it as long as I can remember.

This only happens to me on this ROM; works as expected on other AOSP ROMs.

adb remount

I've been using slimkat and slimsaberkat for a long time.

I guess you mean none of the xposed modules are activated, not removed.

For some reason it seems that for some of you the backup or restore scripts didn't run. No idea why.

It worked for me, I flashed another build a few hours ago and xposed is still activated at first boot.

Just install the Xposed binary from the app and hope that everything goes well at the next dirty flash.

If you like that you should try Xposed module 'gesture navigation' and you can open status bar from any app with for example 2 finger swipe down ;) plus lots lots more ;)

Just flashed today's build and very happy to see that the system ui fc I was experiencing on first boot seems to be fixed :D

Also, I'm running heads up Xposed module and there doesn't seem to be any conflicts with the slim commits :highfive:

Kantjer your latest build is of course running great and having the native Heads Up is something I like.

Since you posted about Floatify I've been playing with it a bit but I use NiLS for lock screen notifications however and now with native Heads Up.... I see Floatify as being a bit redundant.

Is there something I'm missing or is Floatify just another option? I do see Floatify of course has many more custom options as far as looks go but just wanted your input since you're also playing around with it... Keep up the good work man!

This sounds like something is turned on in the developer options that shouldn't be. Check to see if there are any boxes ticked that show updates to the screen.

i normally enable "force gpu rendering", so that's not the problem i think... however "strict mode enable" was indeed ticked. not sure if ti comes ticked from default or not... i unchecked that and when i pressed back, it happened again... i'll test a little more to see if it's connected or not
