stick to interactive for now... intellidemand is buggy.
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
OK. Thanks.

BTW, any thoughts in using Performance? Some think its faster race to idle mitigates the battery drain from running at full speed all the time. Given your intimate knowledge of kernel development, I'm curious to hear your take on the issue.

Understood the only reason I considered overclocking the cpu/gpu was because Gta San Andreas performs like **** even medium graphics is there a way to increase gaming performance with out overclocking while keeping the great battery life this kernal has brought
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
Try installing trickstermod kernel settings and setting CPU and GPU governors to performance.

In my experience GTA San Andreas wont play smoothly unless you have a minimum of 1.5GHZ quad core and 2GB of RAM.

It played smoothy on my galaxy light with 1 gb of ram and a exynos 3470 I personally think its optimization
[General Questions and Answers] amazinglarry311:
just performance man. there is this misconception that other governors save you an hour or two of battery life. it just isn't true. using governors that scale actually use MORE battery. look into it.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Avant has 35% more pixels to push.
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Weird, but I've found that the performance governor causes the phone to get laggy after a while, especially when I have lots of apps open. Switching back to the interactive governor immediately restores the phone's responsiveness.

Could it be a thermal issue? Is the Avant even capable of running full speed 24x7 without incurring some sort of thermal related throttling penalty?

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in Android land.
[General Questions and Answers] ninjasinabag:
I saw that its been mentioned, but back video camera locks up. It makes an attempt to take the video and nothing. You're left with a 15 second long static picture.

Dolby works fine for the most part, an issue I'm having is that sound is unbalanced. Audio on right ear seems compressed, while the left ear is like being heard over a long distance.

There are no mods installed besides your work, so no outside interference. If I had a computer, I'd supply a log.

Neither of these issues bother me in particular, I get good battery life and a decent platform.
[General Questions and Answers] destinyninja:
Video recording also not working for me on AOKP
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
And just to confirm, you are also using aznrice's custom kernel?

RCK
[General Questions and Answers] destinyninja:

[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
OK. So it looks like a genuine pattern.

Anyone on AOKP but NOT running aznrice's kernel? If so, can you confirm that video recording is working with the bundled kernel from dfuse?

Just trying to establish to which dev we should now all grovel for a fix. :)

[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Yes video worked fine on dfuze's rom if you changed the recording quality from 1080p to 720p like he said.
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
I suspected as much, however, I couldn't remember for sure, and testing would have meant reverting to an older backup of my AOKP install.

BTW, does anyone know of a way to uninstall a kernel patch like aznrice's? Or are we doomed to restoring a backup any time a component-level mod like this goes sideways?

RCK
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
Just restore the boot image from the old AOKP backup you have
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Unfortunately, flashing the boot image from AOKP broke my WiFi. So I'm back on aznrice's kernel, however, not the most recent version. I kept copies of all of his previous releases and proceeded to restore them one at a time to try to see which one broke the video camera.

The June 10th and June 12th releases didn't break recording. It wasn't until I flashed the June 16th release (and any subsequent builds) that the camera broke.

So...aznrice, if you're reading this, please check what you changed after the June 12th release as something you tweaked ended up breaking video recording, both in the default camera app and in 3rd party apps like camera mx.

RCK
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. Y:
Could you pm me the June 12th release? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
No can do. Not mine to distribute. Hopefully aznrice will re-post it to his AFH site, or better still, release a fixed version.

Can this phone be rooted without a computer yet? Like with an app only?
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Yes but I do not suggest it by any means. It installs a bunch of bloat and spam on your phone and the root doesn't work correctly with certain apps like Dustin's avant exploded and the many many other apps that require root permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] dustdu2017:
Cody, I'm ordering a new one tomorrow off Amazon, and have no computer access. Is there anyone that roots phones for a fee if I mail it to them?
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
If you have access to any kind of computer (public library? Or maybe even a friends you could use for about 5-10 minute, you literally only have to install one thing and that's recovery. After that you can download SuperSU.zip and flash it to achieve root. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone who would root the phone for a fee.

[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
You can't expect cm12.1 to be fully functional, it's an alpha right now. If you want stability go for AOKP
[General Questions and Answers] destinyninja:
Stock

no ROM yet w/o bugs aokp is close but still a few things that don't work but they are minor

also note that no ROM will have Wi-Fi calling working

Also a good point I love lollipop and rarely have need for WiFi also like I said I don't use (either) phone camera

would like to have A working flashlight and as I only have a gig of high-speed data WiFi would be cool too but not a big deal
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
AOKP is your best bet. All of the core functions work - WiFi, camera, GPS, torch - and it's both highly customizable and stable. If you really must have the lollipop look/feel, install xposed and then the Monster UI mod.

I've been using AOKP as my daily driver for weeks now and have yet to run into any showstopper bugs. It's simply the best ROM out there for the Avant at this juncture.

Note: Avoid aznrice's kernel if you need video recording.

[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Yes, but he left the AOKP ROM in pretty good shape. As I mentioned earlier, all core functions are working, no major bugs are present, and it's generally very stable. Aznrice has since published some custom kernels for it, but overall there hasn't been much clamoring for a newer build as what we have now is quite solid.

Awesome! I'd suggest building off of the AOKP github from dfuse. His build is quite solid - I'm still using it as my daily driver.

RCK
[General Questions and Answers] Signa112:
That's what I'm doing. Still technically some of his work but it will be cited
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Glad to hear it. I know that dfuse is sensitive about others reusing his compiled images, but if you're compiling from source then I'm sure he'd approve.

BTW, not sure what your goals are with AOKP, but as it stands there really isn't much that needs to be fixed. Maybe the proximity sensor. Also, not sure if he ever got NFC working, so might want to look at that.

In what areas do you see your build improving upon what dfuse achieved in his most recent efforts? And, of course, if you need an alpha/beta tester, just give me a shout via PM. :)

[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Any chance you could look at the camera bug in your more recent kernel builds? Everything after your 6/12 release breaks video recording. Had to roll back to that earlier version in order to get it working again.

RCK
[General Questions and Answers] aznrice2k4:
Well, it is due to something with AAC encoding. I haven't the time to debug but you can get the camera to work if you use LG CAMERA and change the audio codec to default.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
I recently had this same issue with a cm12.1 ROM for a different phone. There was a line in the build.prop that needed to be removed that had to do with the aac encoding. This may potentially work for your ROM too. The line read something like qcomm.hw.aac.encoding=true

It may look a bit different but something like that. Removing that line from the build.prop may get the video camera working with the stock camera and or Google camera.
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
That did the trick. I deleted the line from build.prop, then booted into recovery and flashed aznrice's latest kernel (6/18 version). Video recording is now fully functional again.

BTW, the string in build.prop begins with "qcom" not "qcomm" in case anyone is searching the file for it.

Anyway, thanks for the timely tip! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
I'm glad it worked out for you!
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. Y:
I had gone back to dfuse06 last aokp update since aznrice kernel was giving me the camera issue. Can u please tell me the step by step procedures u did to remove that line from build.prop. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Use a file manager with root access (I use ES File Explorer) to first backup (make a copy) your build.prop file (hint: it's in the /system folder). Then use a text editor with root access (I use ES Note Editor) to open the build.prop file and search for the "qcom" string. Edit the file to remove the string, save it, then reboot into recovery and flash aznrice's kernel. Reboot from recovery and you should be good to go.

[General Questions and Answers] malnash52@gmail.com:
Go to build prop and delete the line of code

Then reflash aznrice's latest kernal build

[General Questions and Answers] ricki13th:
I found a great way to save battery during standby. I get much better usage on one charge as a result. Make sure you download the latest kernel (6/18) for AOKP and get an app that can change kernel settings like trickstermod. But I personally use Kernel Adiutor to do this. Go to CPU Hotplug and scroll down to CPU Maximum Screen Off Frequency and change it to 600 mhz and it will lessen battery drain on standby. It won't affect your lockscreen/turning back on phone push notifications nor music when you turn the screen off while playing. I tried to go lower back it won't really stick but its all good though!!! ;)

The latest kernel is just as stable; having my device running buttery smooth and very responsive now. I'm really not noticing any lag except that pesky lockscreen (3-4 secs delay) which is no longer a big deal to me anymore. This is while still using the conservative governor which is pretty awesome. Bty, I have used kernels where they add Cortex A15 optimizations to Cortex A7 processor using linaro. Is that the same thing you did with this latest build? :cool:

Is anyone having wifi performance issue with the Galaxy Avant? Been having this problem since i noticed it, but never got around to investigating until now. Especially when downloading from google play store. The issue is that the lattency on wifi is terrible on the Avant, no matter of the signal strength, and its not my home wifi network because on a PC. Downloads are instant. But, whenever i am using wifi on my phone it takes 10 to 15 seconds to start the download from play store after i tap download, and does this every time. This is becoming annoying.
