Batlin, i REALLY need to know, what's generating that massive amount of logs in dropbox - i am entirely sure, that this is reason of battery drain.

Ok, it's not a drain.

I mean, i can feel faster drop than it should be. Nothing painful(like on kk's), but...roms with this issue had ALWAYS bigger battery usage, than roms without it. All i can see - it's from rom. Since data needs to be synced with saveplace, it's draining batt a bit, it's especially noticeable when cardswap is used(i am using repart + swap, sdcard0 -32gb(sdhc card), sdcard1(ex-internal - 800mb - for STATIC data, i.e. maps - rest of partition is used as /data)..

I'll post two screenshots to visualize what i mean..now off to beer..it's friday(yeah, and i need to ressurect a10 ft5x device, while i am drunk, damn).. here's your rom

anyway, liq had 18 dropboxes' per day.

btw, day passed by, with r1, and rom's behaving perfectly(already modded, of course).

GPS ok, gsm ok, little slow at 2d(maps), ok in 2d games, great in browsers, 3d ok, wifi seems to be weak, but i did not test this more.

Overall opinion - great base.

K, dl'ing r2..

btw, to turn off pernament buttons light, only thing you, guys, need is this in init:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 0 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

make txt file, save it in it, remove .txt, name it with number before name, add it to rom into rom/system/etc/init.d...lib replacement is troubling, if you want to restore default,thins is simplier way.

To total kill of buttonlight - use novathor bln off too(besides that init, after reboot light turns on, but soon will die then).

No hw/lib replacement is needed to keep it this way(battery lifesaver, REALLY).

<sorry for being not coherent and unable to..if doubts, look at my avatar>

@up

i have no idea (about dropbox) - i don't use it and didn't (intentionally) do any changes dropbox-vise...

I'm trying to build ss kk, so i can't even check logs...^^

I think more than one project is real challenge ^^
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
All right, i am not going to take your time for forum replies, when kk is ready, i will check it too, if it has same functions in framework + SAME kernel values, ok, it's sold.

Good luck, whatever you do.

perfctrl, tab - tools, clean residual files, and you'll see whole thing.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ItsHumf:
I'm using Nova Launcher on 4.3.1 and it runs as smooth as I remember any kitkat rom being. Still have the signal dropping bug on this rom though (reboot to fix).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] forbidden8:
Use it for one day, all is ok except "low memory" warning when i play Top Eleven for example. Other, at least for now, is good.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Try perfctrl and LMK to "light".

btw - modded r2 is great candidate for min 0.2ghz - 0.6ghz setting.

Thank you, Batlin.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Batlin, at your service ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Thank you just a question does this have theme manager ? I hope it does
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
batlin are you thinking the possibility of a 4.2 build? I have tried 4.3, it is good but they are slow (generally) comparing to 4.2 and 4.4
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I'm afraid not...

First idea was starting from 4.2 branch. I can do it, but... I don't think differences were significant comparing to old 4.2 slim ROMs...

I can build it with sabermod toolchain ofcourse (and counting that no new error occurs during compilation;)) and do little changes, but...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Try it with chrono kernel. It's faster

Batlin, would it be possible to add hdr to camera? Rox had it for a while, i think on cm10.1, but then at some point he removed it, I don't know why
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Great to hear it, hope you won't regret it someday;).

BTW - now i'm working on KK, as there isn't much to do on 4.3 branch (but it's no last build for sure).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Oh damn I wish it did I have so many bought themes mainly L design some have modded recents to look like L card recents and really wanted try something new thanks anyway Batlin and great work
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
You may be busy now, but i need to ask - are you able to adapt 300mhz step into your very stable kernel for 4.3.x?

I do not know, how you made it, but i had zero reboots with your kernel since i am using your roms(while chrono's ones made me cryin').

So far, so good.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

I really don't know, didn't try to play with cpu steps.. And i don't think messing with frequencies is good idea...

I have some ideas in terms of kernel, but i don't have time to look deeper for it...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Ok, let's skip it, idd.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kjub6:
f2fs

hi are roms in this thread f2fs compactible ?

cause f2fs has better results .... I need to know if I can instal these roms after switching to f2fs
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
You should be able to as long as you use F2FS Kernel
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
It seems that i used some old scripts compiling SlimSaber KK - first build was odexed one... "Proper" Build One, deodexed, added to download section (it's from august 31, but i totally forgot about it;)).

So - only difference is odexed/deodexed version...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] str3tch72:
Odexed ROMs versions for me is faster. Amazing ROM bro, for me is one of the best ROMs for Ace II for now. I was tired of AOSP and problems with Xposed and DPI with CM-based ROMs. SlimSaber is perfect for me :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Glad to hear it, but as far as i remember you change your mind pretty often;)

And - all glory goes to [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Hahaha...so true.

Btw, Batlin i had reboot when i tried to turn off airplane mode from notifications switch today - totally unimportant, but..still.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I've read something about that reboot connected to airplane mode earlier today or yesterday... i'll have to check it (maybe in original SSR thread).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
I switch to airplane mode every night with no reboots so far. 2 days on stock, 2 days with chrono kernel and still rock solid. Performance is better with chrono. Battery life is similar to the other roms I've tried. I'm getting massive rilj/alarm manager wakelocks (rilj > 3000, alarm manager > 1000 per day) '_'
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
You are talking about 4.3 branch?

Because on 4.4 I don't have such wakelocks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Nope 4.4. But I get similar behaviour with 4.3 and all other roms in general. I just rebooted to recovery to install deodexed rom so you'll have to wait a day or so for the wakelocks to build up and grab a screenshot but before rebooting I checked rilj wakelocks and it was at ~3770

After reboot it is fine for a while and then builds up pretty quickly. Airplane mode may or may not be related. I can't tell for sure but I have noticed that if I set it to airplane mode without any noticable wakelocks, when I return it to normal the next day wakelocks start to build up soon afterwards

For clarity I have to state again that this doesn;t happen with your roms only but with everything I tried this summer

At some point I accidentaly formated modemfs. I had baseband xxxx but not any noticable bug. Phone and data was working as usual. I fixed it using a NB1 zip from [MENTION=4962787]fluffi444[/MENTION], without downgrading to GB. Well other than fixing the textarea to display a baseband I didn't experience any other change. ...Maybe I should start over from 3-part GB...(?)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] str3tch72:
[MENTION=5816489]batlin[/MENTION]

You are right bro, but now, I don't have time to change ROMs too often, but anyway - untill Android L, it's my daily driver :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bilgets:
I sometimes got the clock stuck (wont refresh) at some point.. and also line should be opened before I got a message again.. happened in your ext4 kernel and chrono f2fs
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
When will You release a kernel without OC? Can't wait.. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
It's not so easy, you know...

It could be done in few ways:

1. Simple removing higher frequencies... It's easy, but if we state that "old" 800 isn't the same as "current one" - we don't achieve goal that way.

2. Reverting all commits until we gain sources in state from time without OC.. It could be done, but... All other "good" changes will be lost.

Adding governors and schedulers should be easy, but what about the rest?

What's even worse, idk if current sources are continuation of older ones or maybe it's changed in "bad way" (hard to explain in short words:))

3. Finding 'old sources'. Some people have forked our kernel sources during time being. Finding sources from time before OC will be good thing...

Anyway, my current setting gives me 120+ hours of uptime, what makes me lazy lately :)...

I'll try to do something next week
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Alwer:
5 days? ! But you use phone in that time? ;) if yes, could you be so nice and shere yours settings?

Ps great Rom
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I'm not saying about battery but stability, without any random reboot:)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I think is better way is revert all LiveOPP and db8500-prcmu.c changes. You have to revert following commits in this order(if I did not miss anything):

I know, much easier said than done, but nonetheless...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Thanks, I'll try. But who knows, why old 800 is better than current, maybe it's not just live OPP changes

EDIT: just as i thought - there is "hole" in kernel sources:

last commit is from about 20 february, and next - there are commits "recommited" on april 19... But i don't know if there all of them...

But i found sources last updated on 20+ march (and OC in introduced at beginning of april). I can try to compile kernel from that sources and we will see...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Alwer:
I can say that on KK release I did not have any problems with random reebot event that I oc to 1200.

PS Sorry for that misunderstood with battery, I lack language skills.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

Nie ma problemu / no problem :)

I have almost 160 hours without single reboot too. So I consider that ROM as stable.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Zero issues - my report is short, but...

Rom's perfect. Properly set up, modded, this one works great.

Thanks, Batlin.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Batlin is it ok if I PM you it's just I have a weird problem with my SD don't know what caused it but can't save, delete or reformat my SD and was wondering if you would know a method as my phone reads it fine
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

I don't have any idea, never experienced similar problems...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Oh ok no problem I think its that CM11S ROM that never booted caused it anyway I'm uploading my Z3 App ports and just created thread :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
OK, i hate this ROM (SS KK) - i have 180+ hours of uptime. I wanted to test new build of SSR, but i won't do it until phone (random) reboots itself;)).

When it will happen, i will test SSR (this time with [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]'s platform manifest), and check if statusbar issues will still occur... And i have 3 versions of Kernel (stock TC, old stock, sources from march, before OC was implemented, chrono's sources...)

EDIT: I was wrong - it's 210+ hours of uptime ^^
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
..anyway, your 4.3.x works fine, all the time, since i used r2 as base for my personal use.

So...definitely, you made great thing, even, that some/most won't use it...

You know. i have lack of time for using ace2, but it's still my phone, i am using it for weather check, and to news check, some gps, or ebookreading(one and only is Alreader!), and i barely knock 20% of battery daily.

So, you did good thing, trust me. It's great base for modding exactly like slim 4.2.x or liq.

But what's special there - great 2d, unlike like with liq 4.3.x. Here's ZERO 2d lag(emus, browsers).

Some people doesn't care much about 3d, and this is great 2d rom, 3d is ok too, but i had no time for extensive testing, you know...i have few semi-heavy games i use, ZERO 3d shooters, and this machine then is just ok for me.

I have reliable machine with good:

- cam,

- snd,

- 2d,

- connectibility(...is this proper word?),

- battery work time,

- nice screen.

Yup, i need another beer, and i'd like to live in Canada...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
They are both rock solid but what do you mean 210+ hours of uptime? You can't possibly mean without charging. I barely touched 2 days last charge but that was without any use really. I'm at 14h atm, 57% battery left on 4.3.1. I tried going back to 3-part Russian GB and fully updated it to latest official Sam updates, then flashed some official jb with Odin and fully updated it to nb1. Then flashed again slimbean to see if I could get back 2.5 days of usage (used to be 3 before I went custom rom). I have taken good care of my battery and refresh stats after flash. With the exception of last charge (very little usage) I barely get 1day the last months with any ROM. What to do? Plz share your knowledge

BTW on your last wld screenshots, I think you hadn't enable system wakelocks

I'm attacking detailed screenshots from the 2day triumth. I'm using pegasusplus 200-1000, Zen, ksm, zram@18%, no media scan on boot, purging of assets, 16bit transparency, level 4 deep sleep, static GPU voltage, no overcklocking undervolting, chrono kernel 1.1

The total time reported from wakelocks doesn't um up to the awake time. It's not even close. What am I missing here?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
No, uptime is time without reboot/restart... Time of continuous work...

Nothing about battery: )
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Ah OK, it makes sense. Yes it's the most stable ROM I have tried the last months and thanks for making them

[MENTION=5933530]xo.en[/MENTION]d please share your secret for that long battery life, in a non-cryptic way :angel:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Never mind got DU working
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
I'm trying 4.4.4 (odexed) again. I noticed charging animation while powered off is missing.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I just read your request (but I didn't understand it at all:)

yes, I know. I tried to fix it in couple ways but I failed...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Ah ok sorry I meant what sources to use to build but never mind
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] AndroidOwnsAll:
Which chrono kernal build works best with the 4.3 version of this rom?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I use latest chrono 1.2 twrp. It seems that tearing i mentioned somewhere was caused either by toolchain used during compilation or by latest commits added to sources after releasing that kernel (1.2). It's working good after 40+ hours (300-1100Mhz), pegasusq+noop
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
4.4.4 has incoming call low volume bug

Also, if you enable "battery saving mode", that switches to 2g when screen off, under "mobile network settings" incoming calls drop after a few seconds. It only happens with incoming calls. In addition, when enabling "battery saving mode" it does not matter if you set network type to 2g, "battery saving mode" takes precedence so you get 3g unless if the screen is off. It sounds logical but I wanted to make sure this is how it's supposed to behave
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Use novathor and put gain to 0 for everything except in low power parts :) hope this helps
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
..nth day with 4.3.x - zero issues, great batt life...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I almost forgot, non-OC kernel, builded with old (march) sources, probably without all that "additional" stuff, like sound enhancement, etc... it's working, but not tested thoroughly though...

http://d-h.st/ZBy (added to download post too).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
Thanks for that. Unfortunately there's some problem with root on this kernel.. Apks can't get root acces. Installed after wipe cache&dalvik.

Important:

On OC-kernels some heavy 3D games like NFS MW works in slow motion (like a half of normal speed) but on NON-oc kernels it works perfect (That's why I ask You for kernel with no OC). Difference is that on OC-kernel game has more details, better quality BUT even overclocking CPU and GPU gives

no results

; game still works really slow.. Do You have any idea how to solve it? Any way to degrade graphic? (GLTools doesn't work)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
hmm, that's strange... low in call workaround was implemented in slimkat/slimsaber sources. maybe it should be triggered somehow during compilation? I don't know it, for now

oh, yes. I remember that su problem has occur, that kernel was compiled in slimsaber reborn environment, I didn't think that su issues are kernel related (fusionjack switched default su to something other). I think that installing su pack (I have had 1.96 version afair) solved that problem, or maybe I'm wrong. kernel tests were abandoned due to ROM issues..

for the other part of your post - idk
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
It works that way. However, enabling everything (except low power parts) and setting it to 0 causes some click/pop sounds when I make an outcoming call and the line is calling. It is excessive. I can experiment to find the right gain for incoming calls but you'll save me time if you know exactly which one is and I'll be gratefull ^_^
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
If you enable root access under developer options you don't have any problems with apk root access. It's not enabled by default but I don't see anything broken here
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
I have enabled root acces under developer options for aplication and ADB. Are you sure you're talking about No-OC kernel?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
i have newer kernel and problems with root still exists. however installing SuperSU zip package enables root access
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Ah no, I was talking about the stock OCed kernel and 4.4.4, sry...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
persist.sys.root_access=3 ?

sure it will work..

We both know, that tick in dev options is NOT visible sometimes, though - build.prop IS working, when busybox/su matter is properly set in rom.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
Of course, i have that command and it doesn't work with it. Waiting for next release of No-OC kernel from [MENTION=5816489]batlin[/MENTION] :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
http://d-h.st/8Fo

As i said before - it works with SuperSU for sure, idk if would work with "default" su (probably not), as i installed it on "set-up" ROM, not a clean one...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
Thanks, on this kernel root works without installing SuperSU :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Ok, i took the discussion to the right place;):

AD1 (offline charging). I think i skip it. I tried to fix it, but i failed...

AD2 (extended reboot). I miss that too. I'll see what can be done.

AD3 (low in-call bug) - my bad, there is some triggers in config. Sources (wokaround) are there, but aren't enabled by default... should be easilly fixed.

Edit: advanced reboot IS present, quoting slimroms site:

"It's hidden by default to enable it Go to the Security Settings and look for "advanced reboot" and set the option to whatever you like."
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Ah nice! So, apart from offline charging everything should be solved in next and final(?) build. I remember [MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION] had offline charging issue initially and managed to solve it somehow. maybe he could help

Edit: hmmm I notice none of the other roms I have tested have issues with offline charging. Is it your different base? Anyway if it's not fixable or not worth your time I could live without it don't die over it
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Hmm.. idk then. Did you test SlimKat from [MENTION=5208895]shine911[/MENTION] too? (caution - last build has issues with storages). If it's working there - i really don't know what's the matter....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
No I'm afraid. Yours was the first slim rom I ever tried. I was using AOSPA from shine911 most of the summer, but that's irrelevant

I can download and try if you like

EDIT: Ok i tried his last release of slimkat. Terrible experience, systemui crashing on every boot, I was unable to turn on wifi, extended reboot was where you said it would be and it was showing the options. However they had no effect at all. When I choose reboot to recovery it will just reboot to system

Finally and to the point, no. Offline charging isn't working on shine911s' slimkat either. I think I'm done testing crystalPA till next version so I'm coming back to slimsaber for now

EDIT2: please, I have made this question many times but still haven't got a clear answer. How do you mount external storage on TWRP? It has been impossible for me and on roms with TWRP i need to copy roms to internal storage all the time
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

about mounting external card in recovery (TWRP) - hmm... i didn't have that issue after i fixed storages in TWRP in general...

Now when i install anything - it started from external sd card by default, but i think TWRP just remember my previous settings...

But i remember that i had to mount external card in mounting menu (don't remember exactly) and then - external card is visible in installation menu...

Now i'm on chrono 1.3 twrp kernel, but when final (?) build will be ready - i'll try this again (maybe i'll delete twrp settings;)).

BTW - my last (non-public) build also experiences random reboots quite often, but after switching to chrono - 22 hours without reboot. i cleaned kernel sources and try to build again...

My problem is that (mystically) ccache is not working with my slimsaber build (only with that ROM). And that means that every build is compiled reaaally long time (up to 8 hours). on other builds (roms) only first compilation lasts long, next ones (thanks to ccache) - up to 3 hours (slimbean 4.3 only about 80-100min)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
..couple more days passed by with 4.3.x version - still zero issues :)

Damn, i need nothing more.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
@up

glad to hear it. All i can say now it's that i'm sorry for all previous misunderstandings...
