Hello

Im having issues with battery life.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Hello Im having issues with battery life using GF v3.0. At 14.59 hrs. Its only 40% left of battery. It began the day with 100%.

Using BatteryStats I noticed a process calles HWTest that its using a lot of battery.

Anyone knows what it is this process and how i turn it off?

Thanks for your answer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
what modules do you have enabled in Xposed?

And what kernel are you using?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] guigopiva:
My wifi is droping :crying: i'll try to fix it by changing the kernel... maybe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sergiomc22:
Hi.

Kernel: Alucard

Xposed Modules:

Enabled:

- GravityBox 3.4.3

- Greenify 2.4.3

- Instagram downloader 1.8.8

- Xposed G-Touchwiz 1.35

- Enable BatteryStats Permission - Xposed module 1.2

Disabled:

- 3C Toolbox 1.0.3.2

- Force fast scroll - 1.2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
kernel is best for battery - so i would suggest working on the modules to see if any of them is being naughty. If its not a module then perhaps something in one of your apps misbehaving. (It wont be gravity box as its ok at my end)

Also make sure you turn off Google hot word detection as your phone will be constantly listening. Try this first and make sure NFC is also off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sergiomc22:
what is google hot word? where is it ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
Go into your app drawer and hit the google app.

Use the menu key and go into settings

You will see the toggle to turn off google now - turn it off.

While you are there go into "voice" & turn off "OK Google" detection

If you dont use location for maps or browsing, id turn that off also.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sergiomc22:
Hi, all Ok google, and google now, is already disabled.

About the maps, actually I always have the GPS toggle off.

Is anyone else having trouble with screen mirroring via all share cast dongle? My phone can't find my dongle. It never happened before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nmeuret:
I dealed with this kind of problem with my S4 & Chinese Miracast dongle. The problem came from the kernel that must be the stock one. I think stock kernel must be signed and Samsung must have added some kind of DRM with its screen mirroring that make custom kernel unabled to work with this feature. That was my conclusion 6 month ago, maybe things changed now !?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
Thanks for the answer but problem solved. The dongle needed a hard reset and with googymax kernel but oficial status, mirroring works well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rboy:
Hi All.

Can anyone confirm the following features work on this Rom, please:

S-view Cover support

Screen Mirroring

Touchwiz Camera

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Beefheart:
S-View works but it uses what is, in my opinion, a rubbish conversion of the S5 S-View service, which has been modded to fit into the smaller S4 window. Unfortunately, as a result it's a real mess, especially in call. The first thing I did was replace SViewCoverService.apk and SecTeleService.apk to the equivalent S4 versions to return the S-View service back to plain S4 style. Each to their own but I think the original version looks better and classier than a coloured one anyway, even ignoring the mess.

Screen mirroring works fine on my 50" UEF6670, or at least with the stock kernel I'm using.

Touchwiz camera works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] finalmax:
In know that Gravitybox solves the problem but conflits with Wanam...

I found a bug in S5 Calandar (planner). When you tap on a Facebook birthday you get a FC.

I found the solution the S5 apps topic found here on XDA. There's a apk (SNS.apk).

In the next Goldfinger update a think it's better to include it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Beefheart:
Just found a better way of starting the recent apps list than Nova's gesture settings, which only work on the home screen. There is a free Xposed mod called Gesture Navigation-Multitouch Gestures (you can download it directly from Xposed) and it works perfectly once activated and rebooted. I have set three fingers swiped down as recent apps and it works regardless of what you're doing at the time, like the normal long home press would.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
How did you disable Force Fast Scroll?

I don't find this app on my device, I did search by Titanium Backup and app drawer.

TouchWiz are getting a little lags here.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This is about Xposed modules right?

Forget about...hehehe

Someone know how set TouchWiz Launcher to stock speed animation?

Could you talk me through how to revert to the s4 sview, the current one drives me crazy, I agree it is really messy, overlapping info and bad positions of items. Any chance you could host the files that need to be replaced? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
Still no improvement in bartery life after clean install with kernel cleaning script and googymax 1.5. After 4 battery cycles, from a full charge, I lost 20% in almost 2h with less than 15 minutes of screen time.

Do you guys have any ideas 'cus a don't want to return to stock. I like this rom to much.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a fix for PullUp.

It appeared always in Recents, although you only did use the App which got pulled up.

It will no more appear in recents :)

Just copy it to System apps

overwrite old one

check permissions and restart

same here, changed modem and kernel, nothing...reflashed rom, nothing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
sounds odd. take your battery out and see if it is swollen or warped.

do you have a lot of media on your phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Works like a charm.

Installed like a normal apk no needed to copy on system/app folder.

i dont know - routers and wifi arent a strong subject for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
I tested it to see if it is swollen and it doesn't seem to spin very easy on the table. It happened to me before and I knew about this possibility. I had a battery replaced on warranty because of this problem. I have media on the phone but android system is the main consumer. Media doesn't even appear in battery consumption.

I feel this rom slower than goldeneye... Am I doing something wrong??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hexgore:
Hey mate, amazing ROM, just like using an S5. Just a few small questions though. There are some strange pre-installed apps.... "lgg3", "MIUI V5", and "piao". Obviously I am not using LG G3 or MIUI so I am unsure about why they are there, and yes I did a full wipe before installing. Piao seems to be some really obscure game from what I saw on Google, no idea why that's there either?

Just wanted to bring that up, otherwise this is a top ROM.

Reflash the ROM and choose the function you prefer in Aroma (S4 or S5). Wiping anything isn't necessary.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] biazoto:
Or install gravitybox and configure the buttons functions in "fisical buttons settings"

Questions on flashing .ZIP files?

Hey all.

Just a quick bit of advice.

I have searched this and many other different XDA threads, but can't find an answer to my question/problem.

I've never flashed a custom ROM before, only rooted my device and installed a custom Ktooonz's Kernel via Odin.

I am on the stock Jellybean 4.3 (MK9) ROM, stock baseband and CSC. There hasn't/wont be a release of Kit Kat 4.4 for Australian phones, so i'm forced to flash a custom ROM.

I have downloaded the latest Goldfinger Rom which comes as a .ZIP file but Odin only accepts .TAR files. Am i correct in assuming i now have to convert this file to .TAR somehow, so as Odin can accept it for flashing to my i9505. Or, is there another way of flashing this ROM to the device. Also will the Ktoonz's 4.3 Kernel need to be changed, or will your Goldfinger ROM already include an updated Kernel too?

Sorry for the noob questions, but we all have to start somewhere.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutparvan:
With zip files is even simpler than with odin , meaning g you don't need a computer to flash the files. All you need is a custom recovery, which is something like a more powerful boot menu. To find a custom recovery simply Google cwm or twrp recovery for your phone. I personally advice you to use cwm because I had issues flashing this ROM with twrp. Probably it was just me but this is my advice. After you download the recovery, flash it with Odin and boot your phone in recovery mode. You'll see a different recovery from the stock one and there after you wipe everything you have an option to flash zip files. Remember to backup your important data. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AoEKiller:
Hey iB4STiD, just moved to GoldFinger since MapleLeaf has been discontinued ;) I like your new ROM ( even if I dislike almost everything from TW interface, I use a 3rd party launcher ), but I had a lot of popup crash from google location service and google play services until I realized Disable Location Constent module in XPosed is not needed anymore for the tasker GPS guide you posted earlier in GE thread. You probably removed the DISABLED LOCATION CONSENT POPUP on GF but I couldn't figure it out by reading the changes notes from v1.0 to 3.0 on this thread. I think you should mention this on BATTERY LIFE, GPS, TIPS N TRICKS because I always restore my tasker profiles and it never caused me any troubles until Google updated Google Play Service to 6.0.x.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
You will be able to use "sgs4 flasher" from the playstore to flash a modified recovery for your phone and save using odin. As above i would use CWM recovery.... but i would suggest version 6.0.4.4. Either that or use Philz recovery which is an advanced version of CWM. You can use "sgs4 flasher" to flash .tar and .tar.md5.

read the apps description on the playstore for more info.

Goldfinger has Aroma installer which will give you different install options as you proceed through it. One will be a choice of kernels to suit the rom. Id suggest Alucard until you want to experiment further.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Shisma:
I have the same problem after the update of Google Play Services to 6.x.x version, solved reflashing the old version 5.0.84 from the zip of the rom.

Android system still the main battery consumer. Any suggestion? Because I didn't find any solution.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hexgore:
So encrypting the device, not just the SD card but the actual device, is working fine for you, and you're using the built in system but you're doing it from some third party app not the settings? If so that means the bug is just in the settings app not the actual encryption feature and should be pretty easy for the dev to fix.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
When you say encrypt do you just mean locking the device with a password? If so then yes it works for me but not via a third party app. I am doing it under settings>general>security >encrypt device, what I am doing using a third party app for is the find my phone feature, in which I use an app called Cerberus, not the android device manager or findmyphone.samsung.com.

What problem is that? Google play services works fine for me and I got an option to never show the location consent again. It was a tickable box that I ticked and now it doesn't show anymore, no module or anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Encryption does not work on TWZ with custom ROMS. Only works if you are stock unrooted - that is why I am back to Google Edition ROM. I asked but never got an answer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Warmax88:
I love this ROM. Thank you! I was using CM but this feels faster and more stable.

There's just one minor thing that i'm not able to change. When i click the battery icon in the status bar the screen goes to sleep and if i press the icon for 2-3s the power menu appears. Is there a way to disable this feature? Sometimes i want to check the notification panel and the screen goes to sleep :/.

Maybe it's something related to Xposed but i haven't been able to find something to disable this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Shisma:
I was not referring to the pop-up for the location consent. After the update of Google Play services I had continuous error from Google Location Service(com.google.process.location) and Google Play Services, after the installation of the old Google Play Services (5.0.84) the problem is gone.

Not just locking with a password but actually encrypting the data. If you went into encrypt device into the settings and it actually worked for you I am wondering why it's not working for me. I did fully wipe the phone before flashing the ROM.

Should be the same way as encryption. When you click it, the option to enter the password and then decrypt and remove it should appear.

If it is genuinely encrypted you need to do a factory reset but it's not going to be because it's broken on TW ROMs so just go to lock screen settings and turn the password off.

My personal wish list for this excellent rom.

Revert to S4 Sview, so everything fits the small window properly without overlapping icons/text

IR port fixing, was previously working

Torch toggle and Battery stat short-cut in notification toggles

Add a toggle to remove battery graphic from status bar (so you can have % only, its graphic or graphic + % only at the moment)

I'm finding the battery life great, responsiveness is fantastic and its been super stable for me on talexop kernel. Thanks so much for all the effort that has gone in so far, I'm looking forward to any improvements that might come in the future. :cool:

Awesome stuff. Not having to use Odin menat the upgrade from stock to custom was super easy. Infact the entire process including flashing PhilZ Recovery was all done on my handset without the need for Odin. I used an App called " Nandroid Manager " here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=en

Select Recovery and you can "Flash New Recovery" or "Flash .zips via Recovery" all from within the app. I started with CWM then went to TWRP then settled on Philz all in the space of 5mins.

Then using the multi-reboot options from Xposed Frameworks, i simply rebooted into Recovery and then full wiped and installed this awesome GF Rom. 10 mins round trip.

Also everything in this ROM has worked for me, Screen mirroring, S5 S-view cover, wifi, Bluetooth etc. I restored my apps from "Super Backup" free and "Titanium Backup Pro" which honestly took the most amount of time to do. But given the phone now feels brand new, this was the enjoyable part. Im just fininshing setting up Nova Launcher and will do a full Nandroid Image and await the release of Android Lollybeankatbread.

Thanks again for everyones help, and the dev for this great ROM.

Ain't that the truth. Though, now I'm looking forward to the L update from Go-ogle now.

Some have posted issues with the S5 sview cover on the s4. I've not noticed any issues with that myself. Really is a joy to u use the updated sview cover.

The only thing I have noticed so far after a day of use is I have had two random reboots. Not sure what the cause is right now, looking into it. The other thif I have noticed is the TE Video Camera Recorder had 3 times failed, stating "video recording failed " ayer pressing the stop button. I use my SD for storage. I know there is increased security with KirkKat and access to the Storage Cards, so not sure if it is to do with this. It doesn't fail all the time, so far it looks like the long recordings that don't work. Will look into it more and report back.

I have notice a vast improve using the Alucard Kernel and my battery life.

Anyways. Still a most enjoyable ROM to use. :)
