While seeing the currently running apps, fresh installed ROM

In PA - The Android Settings App size is 30MB, it was 50+MB in PAC Rom,

Similarly, AOSP Keyboard Size is 15MB in PA Rom, but it was 30+MB in PAC Rom..

I have installed both ROMs by wiping all ( system, dalvic, data, cache)..

Due to this, I'm seeing less free ram in PAC with fresh install and it also leads to lagging in PAC rom than PA Rom..

Please answer guyz.. ??
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I don't have experience any lag in PAC..the minor amount of ram in PAC is normal because this ROM as many features and personalization then PA
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Simple...

It's because PAC is odexed and PA isn't. Odex files require more space but also make sure apps start faster, run smoother and use less battery since the CPU doesn't have the build the app every time.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xperia SP General] Farooq95:
U are taking about runtime I.e.(dalvik,art).
[Xperia SP General] air001:
No. This is not odex or deodex, this is dalvik or ART.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Actually, it is odex vs deodex.

Forget ART, even in dalvik.... odex means dalvik vm takes less time to load as it does not have to extract dex from inside the apk.

And in deodex, everythingg is in apk, so each apk contributes to a dex creation.
[Xperia SP General] air001:
Hm. Ok. And what about ART vs dalvik?
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Art is available in both. You can compare yourself
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
I've a problem, I try many app to apply cpuvoltage, cpu governor tweak(for interactive timer), minfree value.... But on each reboot, my setting disappear and stock settings are put... Why? (I set set on boot)

How to enable-disable auto sync on pac man rom?
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Go to settings->data usage and open the menu..auto-sync settings it's here
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
Photos are always saving in internal memory. Can I set to SD?
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Yep, you can set external memory in camera app
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
I didn't find this option in camera app. Only resolution, Geo tagging and manual exposure. I'm using PAC v3.1
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
That's the first option in setting..open the camera..tap the right button and then the central one..the far right button open the settings..first voice say "storage"..you can choose internal or sd
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
The only settings that appear to me is above...
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
OK but you use google camera..not the default camera app..that's different!! I don't know how and if you can change photo location saving in Google camera
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
OK. There is a bug. I think.

The numbers appear white on white in messages and whatsapp. Anyway I can fix that?
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Try a different theme.
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
This is the default theme. Anyways I also tried another theme which I used in previous version of PAC.

I am on PAC build 3. With Triwizard kernel
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Works without issues on (standard) Holo, Gem emerald, Flux...etc.

Do you perhaps have any xposed modules enabled which could be interfering with your theme?

Lastly, has nothing to do with your kernel!
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
I found only this camera app. Exists another app to take photos in this ROM? Can anyone send me the apk or zip?

I tried lenovo but it crashes when open...
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I think you have replace the default camera app when you have install gapps..I use PA gapps micro and I don't have Google camera
[Xperia SP General] air001:
Which is the Flux theme?
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
Can you share this default camera app? (I don't know if this is possible)
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I don't know either..I'm sorry
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
Anyone knows?

Which is the best governor and the best io scheduler for good performance and good battery life?
[Xperia SP General] Nathan rd:
yes you can :)
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I use wheatly plus deadline..max core speed at 1500 and multicore power saving enable..no lag and good battery life for my standard use
[Xperia SP General] Arrow04:
How many hours of screen time do you usually have?
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I think 4/5 max..i don't really care of screen on time..i sue phone for call and text..not for game or watching video..I'm around 2days which the use I do
[Xperia SP General] akimester:
hi all !

a little help needed. :)

when i set the wheatly governor ,it reverts back to default at reboot.

somethimes its enought to move away from setting tab !

what can i do to fix it ?
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
You have ticked the box saying remember on boot yes?

Working fine on my PA #build 11 and all previous builds.

Do you have any other software setup to change CPU settings or just using the legacy settings option in pa?
[Xperia SP General] akimester:
im using only the legacy parts ,but the set on boot option doesnt preserve my setting. :S

another question for everybody. its a "bit" off-topic ,but i have to ask :

i need a really good "deepsleep" program ,coz my phone constantly drains 1%/hr without usage in good 2g coverage ,without any connection ,sync\nfc\gps\etc. configured to fully offline ,just like an old nokia 3210.

and nothing keeps my phone awake ! stock roms drains too, even in stamina mode ! the battery is NOT FAULTY ,tested by independent RCs.
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Deepsleep apps tend to use more battery than they save!

Use a service disabler to disable some of the google services that you don't use.

Here's the ones I disabled and everything still works as it should but it saves quite allot of battery.

AnalyticsService

SystemUpdateService

NlpLocationReceiverService

GoogleLocationManagerService

Turn all location settings off, aswell as synchronization of accounts. Also turn off NFC and bluetooth if you don't use them.

Use Titanium backup to freeze apps that you do not use.

Greenify as much other apps as possible.

Use betterbatterystats to check which partial wakelocks you have in order to know which further services to disable.

Be careful with all the above! If you don't know what you're doing, you better ask first here.

Lastly, if you're not using Xposed, you can use ART instead of Dalvik.

This also saves quite allot of battery.

My phone loses 1 or 2% of battery overnight and I usually sleep 7-8 hours and 4G stays on all the time.
[Xperia SP General] akimester:
okay ,thanks for the tips !
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
What ROM you use?? On PAC if you use the PAC settings for change governor try to do that in the performance menu instead..I'd doesn't have this problem :)
[Xperia SP General] akimester:
problem solved. dont know why reverted back to default ,but now everythings fine.

thanks.

I've a problem with pacman rom, when i try to apply custom setting for interactive governor, or custom minfree value with an app or an init.d script, no change on every reboot, and the defaults parameters are set...

I think is a conflict with an other init.d script, please help ! ;)
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Have you try to set it in performance menu? I don't have this problem
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
I try to set it with performance control, trickster mod, init.d script :/

Few day ago, i found a script with the "default" value... but now i don't find it....

Same with PAC performance :(
[Xperia SP General] jucares:
Yes I know but what I mean is hide the status bar but keep the navigation bar visible.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Ops..sorry I've misunderstood your problem..I don't think you can do that on PAC..you can do that surely on PA immersive mode if that is for you a very important feature

Is it possible to use headsup notifications without using halo ? f not,how to enable/disable headsup notifications or it turned-on bu default ???
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
They work fine for me. But usually require a reboot.

Also, see that they have ogg or mp3 extension. Just check what other ringtones have, and rename the file according to that, and i hope it will work fine.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Yes, it's possible, just disable halo and whitelist the app you what using headsup whit in setting->app->properties

Hello! I tried PA, PAC roms by nexus and CM by MrSteve. All has the same progress, though I made some research.(I'm now using MrSteve's CM, as PAC uses waaaay more RAM and PA is said to be unstable now, and it random rebooted to me.

-First, many users have this problem, the touch is unresponsive. I have saw that the file "/sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0024/main_ttsp_core.cyttsp4_i2c_adapter/signal_disparity" is set to maybe 136, and if I set it to 0, it will have "glove mode" on aka it will be more responsive, while touch is still stable. I tried editing finger_threshold too but that causes issues.

-I had low media volume, installed V4A (HQ mode), enabled speaker optimisation, and xtra loud to extreme, it is a little better now, but incall volume is still know but it is known problem.

-Gaming performance is crap. I messaged MrSteve about his old topic (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2766457) on if it is up to date and still worth using. He said that the latest vga driver is already included (Xperia Z) in these builds so dont use the 2. part, but first and the 3. should still work. I think pvz2 and manuganu2 is a little bit faster now, but it is still nowhere near stock. Also I tried it on ART but it is as laggy as on dalvik.

These were my thoughts. Also, nexusprime, please focus on CM (and PA) because we have a customizable ROM (Any rom (stock or CM) + Xposed) but we need a very fast(CM) Also, CM was very buggy for me when I was using bagyusz's release, but it is fine now.

Thanks!;)

> Hey. I've been running Paranoid-neXus for almost 2 weeks and I haven't faced any random reboot. What mods are you using? Xposed Modules? Care to share some details?

> Media volume has become better on Build #11 try to give it a spin.

> Gaming Performance is better than stock. I can play Real Racing 3 without issues. PvZ2 and Asphalt are pretty much less resource intensive games than Real Racing 3 and they too run fast and fluid on my SP. Try to Greenify some apps before playing. Are you using the Stock 12.1.A.1.207 Kernel?

Hello. It was like build 4,not sure if it got fixed by then. It happend on clean install when I was browsing All Apps. I know this glove mode app but as I have said it changes finger threshold to 0 which causes touch issues for me.

Using stock 207 kernel because has carrier phone. Can you please try manuganu 2? PvZ2 minimap has lag spikes and the flower load animation is slowmotion. These 2 games run totally fine on stock. Im not a big gamer but still I want 2d games not to lag. I dont think greenify would help as its not out of memory or cpu, more like its driver issue or gpu runs out of processing power... Thank you for your answer. I might try PA then if it has no systemui crahes.

I have a big problem. When I install a theme the SystemUI crash. That comes from me or from the rom?

Sorry for my english.
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Most likely because the theme you installed is not compatible with CM11 or because you're installing a pirated version of a theme.

Paranoid is a minimalistic ROM. If you like to tweak around with themes etc... try P-A-C.

It has more customisation features.
[Xperia SP General] Kotth:
Ok thanks. But that was the Fi theme and he comes from playstore.

I have to say that if you do a clean install of the latest pa/cm11 LbL and flash

Pure performance X mod on top of it.it blows the stock Sony ROM out of water.

I can't believe people at Sony are lazy bags who can't make a working ROM for xperia sp. Forget kk ,I mean they can't even work on to fix the bugs

Hats off to developers at xda.

Cm-way better than stock. simple. Clean.

Pa-better than stock and has good features.

Thanks a lot guys for clearing that out for me.

Actually, I've joined college and it allows WiFi access but only through registered MAC adresses. Only two MAC adresses can be registered per student and I have my phone and laptop registered.

I do not get internet access on my phone even when my laptop does. So I was thinking of troubleshooting the problem by changing ROM. I was just worried that if I change the ROM and the MAC address changed too, I'd be screwed.

By the way, any suggestions why I do not get internet access even when my MAC is registered? (I have also tried modifying network by changing from DHCP to static IP, but in vain)

I'm on Paranoid-neXus v10.
