Can you post screenshots of your battery graphics when your battery is 1%-2%? And in generally what is the percentage of your screen, Android system, Android OS and the other components when the Android system is on the top of the list? Also can you share your Android system's detailed battery consumption information from battery statistics with the "GSam Battery Monitor" app from Google Play Store.. Here is the link of that app:

Aroma bug in TWRP I guess. I've had that too. Flashed rom via TWRP, finished and reboot, stuck on Galaxy s4 logo. Went back to TWRP and Flashed again, no wipe.

SO Solution is to go back in recovery and flash the rom again.

Mine is the s5 icon set and no personal message. Still working this morning ok.

using s5 option here but shouldn't make a difference. Will let you know later today how it is going. So no problems at all.

Update 9 hours later, working ok since last night, no problems using camera from lock screen with pin.

The contact pictures in call logs and sms priority senders look a bit squeezed or not of good quality. But when I click on contact, the pictures look fine and of high quality.

Also on unlocking the screen, the lockscreen adjusts itself for a second before showing the home screen.

Anyone having similar issues?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
This is how the contacts app work throughout Android. Its the same on AOSP/GPE/CM Etc.

Google assigns the high-res version of all your favourite contacts by default, but for all others, it assigns the low-res version until you actually go into the contact, whereby you will see the high-res version appear after a short delay.

For any of these other contacts that you don't go into first, you will get the low-res caller-id come up if they call you. For your favourites, and contacts you have manually opened, you will see the high-res version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
You can use the "Idle Time Connection Manager" app from Google Play Store. That app automatically turns off your wi-fi, mobile data and bluetooth when your screen is off. So if you want your wi-fi being turned off while your screen is off, you can use that app. Here is the link of that app from Google Play Store:

And for getting a better battery life, you can look at one of my previos posts that i have prepared before when i was on Phoenix ROM. It contains a tutorial how to get a better battery life.. Maybe it can be useful for you. Here is the link of my that post:

I noticed something similar. When you click on a contact, the large default contact picture looks poor quality, especially around the edges, but that's how the main contacts pictures are on all ROM's, even stock. It's strange because all the rest look crisp and HD, yet the main default contacts Icon looks poor quality in comparison.

So it is nothing to do with GOLDFiNGER ROM, that's just the way Samsung made it look. Weird...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dbappa:
Can your modem have a significant effect on battery drain. I tried to post this last night but UC browser crashed. I left work with around 90-95% battery and just under two hours later I was on 44% charge with 1hr screen time. It dropped to 41% in the time it took me to Google this thread and sign into XDA, a further 1% whilst writing a sentence. I was down to 5% just over an hour later (total screen time of 2hrs). Last week on holiday I put it in flight mode and it dropped almost 10% in tens of minutes. I did note last night Accupedo drained a fair bit but this was for only part of the total 3 hours since charge and the drain has been pretty fast before using the app. I have tried all sorts (in fact, other than thanking the OP for the ROM, it's pretty much the only thing I post about in this thread :(:silly:). On two previous versions of GF I tried all of the kernels with little result but have just remembered my modem has only been changed a couple of times in recent months, currently rocking GNH8. Looking at my battery info below - my mobile signal is like a Christmas tree. Followed all of the steps in the guide and I don't think it's down to the 4.3 bug as I have had much better performance than this post 4.3.

The situation has definitely got worse, it's so bad now I think I could drain the whole battery just watching MX player with no background data in under 2.5 hours, 12 hour days with 3-5 hours of screen time were fairly easy on my device (typically used GE and Omega).

Have you tried to change the kernel? I've got the drain problem and when I changed to Alucard kernel everything works perfectly fine! My battery drain was mostly out of my connection to mobile network data ( I am from Bulgaria also ) and when I got the new kernel it all works great! If it doesnt work in your case, maybe you should flash a different modem, but 1st give it a shot by changing the kernel! :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
In the tutorial that i have given its link, i also suggest two Kernels. One of them is Alucard Kernel and the other one is Googy-Max3 Kernel. I am on Imperium ROM v13 now and i am using Alucard Kernel v2.3a. I can say i got really satisfying battery statistics with it. If i give more details: I am getting almost 1 day standby time and 5+ hours screen on time. And i want to especially mention that wi-fi is in use for 4+ hours in that 5+ hours screen on time. So if you want a qualified battery life i again suggest using Alucard Kernel and taking a look to my tutorial that i have given its link some posts before.. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
Yes :) with googymax no problem. Only alucard
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
I think I found the problem of the Android os high usage. Rom bases newer than NG8 seem to have this problem. Stock NG8 gave the the same problem as the last gf roms. So, I decided to install an old firmware. I couldn't find the first gf so I installed another S5 Rom based on ng4 firmware that I used before gf roms and the problem seems to be gone. This is why I think that the problem has nothing to do with kernel but with the base firmware. If others can try this and report back, would be great. Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
I am on Imperium ROM v13 and it is based on VJUGNI2 and i don't have such a problem you have mentioned. My screen is always on the top of the battery consumption statistics. In Imperium, my screen in generally uses 50%+ of the battery. And my Android System uses around 14%-18% of battery and my Android OS uses 4%-6% of the battery. You can look at the picture below.. My battery consumption statistic is generally like the array in the picture.. Screen is always on the top and Android System is generally in the second line..

So according to my explanation i think your problem is not related with the base of the ROM.. It should be something different.. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
Thanks for the tip but I tried everything and this is the only thing I found. Now, I'm still on that ng4 version, with the same settings and things seem to look ok. I'll be watching for any changes and report.

Hello, im back to my beloved S4. I have a few Q's, i have not found any answer about my question:

1. I dont like the S5 setting where there are big circle icons, im used to the one found in Note 3. Does I have a choice in Aroma? Or should I get a mod for that?

2. I like the Note 4 weather widget, does this rom have it? (seems not) Hopefully soon. I envy my girlfriend's S3, it has a complete Note 4 look!!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Does your phone show the Screen On Time right? Is it really 45 min or your phone shows the statistic faulty? Did you lose 59% (i see in the picture just 41% remains from your battery) just in 45 min Screen On Time?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
All the stats are right, nothing is faulty. On stock rom I usually get 3 hours of screen on time with autobrightness. But the problem now is that from time to time the phone gets hot and android os goes up. I know that there's a problem and is not the battery because on stock rom it's ok. On older version of gf it was OK, even better than stock. I tried everything, all the kernels, other modems. Maybe I should try another bootloader but I don't know if this could be the problem. Here's another screenshot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
It is a strange issue. Because i have never encountered with such a problem with any ROM.. Neither custom nor stock ROMs.. I am on Imperium v13 and i always get 4.5 + hours screen on time.. I took some screenshots from my current battery usage. I have 2 hours 34 minutes Screen On Time with 46% of battery usage.. And in that SOT 2+ hours is wi-fi usage.. Look at my battery statistics below.. BTW do you use Greenify (donation package)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
I never used apps like greenify but 3 hours of screen on time with stock rom was always sufficient with the apps that I had installed and accounts that sync. I really don't know what's the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dbappa:
Having similar issues. I've lost almost 20% in 26 minutes just now, lost 50% in just over an hour earlier. I've updated to the latest modem. Main difference I've noticed since all of this started is my mobile signal in battery settings, it's much more busy than before. Despite using wifi most of the time I get the impression it's trying to find signal way too often.

i've calibrated the battery many times with no efect. in my opinion deleting that batterystats.bin file is useless because i read that charging the battery from zero to full generates another batterystats.bin file meaning it calibrates the battery. most of the times i charge my battery from zero to full. it didn't have any efect.

i've read your tutorial and it'svery well written. i agree with everything you say there. but i dont want to make changes that i didn't do on stock rom. that means that something is wrong and i want to find out what is wrong. i want to use this rom like i use the stock one with the same settings and no battery improvement gimmicks. not that i dont agree with them, but on stock, i didn't feel that i need them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
have you disabled the "ok google" hot word detection? NFC switched off?

and what kernel do you install the rom with for first boot?

the only kernel that caused me massive battery drain was one of the previous versions of Talexop kernel - which has now been fixed. Android O.S use was really heavy, and was above screen on and standby stats which is not normal.

All i could suggest is a full wipe with a system format. Im using the Talexop option offered in Aroma with no ill effects. If you want to try Alucard or another kernel then i would suggest going back to recovery and flashing the kernel before you allow the roms first boot up after Aroma has finished.

I would say the issue will be kernel related but its worth trying a clean install and turning off the high battery users like GPS, NFC and Google hot word (in "Google settings")

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
Im usualy using adam kernel for first boot and then i flash googymax just because it has o boost of volume to the speakers in poweramp. I always have nfc and ok google turned off, only gps turned on but i never have high location usage so i dont think gps is the problem. I always flash clean, full wipe, kernel cleaning script and internal storage wipe. I wipe everything except external sd. I use cwm because with twrp the rom doesn't boot and i have to flash twice.

As for modem and bootloader, unfortunately I have the new bootloader ng8 with ng8 modem.

This just gets stranger. I tried to drain my battery last night, in all honesty it probably has been a while since I have. Getting to 1% wasn't too hard, but it would not give up on 1%. I turned everything on, played a video and it must have gone on for a good 20 minutes (1% drain in 20 minutes for 1-99% charge is unheard of so God knows why it lasted so long). The phone managed to turn back on 3 more times and remain in Android for a short while. On top of this I could turn the phone on for a brief flash of the Samsung screen 50-100 times over an hour. It would not drain to the point of not being able to turn on at all. I unplugged the charger during the night once it had reached 100% resulting in an 8% drain in 5 hours when I woke up. Wake Lock Detector (as of now) says Google Services woke the device 339 times (however I only turned sync back on an hour ago). As it stands the phone has been off charge for 10 hours with 2 hours 15 minutes screen time and 41% remaining. I earlier attempted using the kernel cleaner followed by installing Alucard 2.3a but this failed (stuck in boot loop). Cleaned again and back to stock Talexop 3.4 - the funniest part.......my charge actually went up a short while ago.
