I would say that everything extra uses more power.

I always use power saving with limit cpu usage option, and haven't noticed a performance drop even if gaming. I also have disabled many samsung bloatware apps that i don't use (basically everything :D). And I also use Greenify apps to stop those bloatware apps which can't be disabled.

If I had root, I would also remove "wake up" and "keep wake" from Google play services, which is currently my biggest battery draining app/service.

Hey guys, i've tested the "Restrict background data" and it works really GOOD!

More specific, my device is using 450mah (or at least, this is the reading im getting).

So with "No restriction for the back data" & logging to a 3G network (UMTS) im loosing:

1% / 2hrs

With restrictions ON & logging to a 2.5G (EDGE) im loosing:

1% / 3.5hrs

!!!

Mind that

this measurement is in IDLE state

(screen off).

I believe that this "Restrict background data" option is also been used by the system,

when the user is activating the "emergency mode".

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Clapfish:
I would be very grateful for some assistance with this, after trying many firmwares with Odin (most now blocked because of Knox bootloader), custom recovery etc. etc.

Basically I want to downgrade my I9305 from 4.4.4 to 4.1.1 so that I can use the 'trick' for SIM unlocking the device. This is after finding out that GalaxSim Unlock can't be used with this device, which I tried after rooting under 4.4.4.

I have a 4.1.1 firmware on the way which I can flash with Odin, but I'm conscious that each time I do this since upgrading to 4.3/4.4.4 the Knox bootloader comes up with 'Unsupported version'.

Is it possible for me to copy the boot.img file from the 4.4.4 firmware package and replace the boot.img file in the 4.1.1 package? Will that work? I don't really understand the ins and outs of this yet and it's getting very frustrating when I can't find any answers on Google to these specific questions.

If the above doesn't work, what option do I have to downgrade to stock 4.1.1?

Many thanks for your help.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Clapfish:
Thank you so much for this; I got excited that it might finally be a solution but alas, when I try to install the ROM in CWM recovery (6.0.4.7) I get the following message:

format() expects 5 args, got 4

E:Error in /data/media/0/stock411.zip (I renamed it and copied it again to internal phone storage in case it was a bad transfer to ext SD card previously)

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

A quick search suggests a bad download perhaps? Will try again in 5m (when the re-download completes) but if that fails I'm back to square one.

Do you think it'd be possible to flash another stock firmware in this manner? If you flash from CWM does it never affect the bootloader/Knox? Or is this error message coming from a Knox-type block, do you think?

Thanks for your input.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Clapfish:
Update

Late last night I somehow managed to flash a stock 4.1.1 ROM from a rather messed up 4.4.4 (following CWM recovery backup restore [apps were 'stopping' left right and centre making the phone unusable, even after wiping cache and delvik cache]). This enabled me to do the dialler trick and remove the SIM lock.

Today I've tried 3 different 4.1.2 ROMs and all fail with SW Rev. Invalid Magic String (or something similar) using Odin. After the first failed attempt I thought ok, I'll go back to 4.1.1; however when I tried this the phone got stuck on the first Samsung I9305 boot screen and, oddly, I couldn't get into recovery mode - the only option was download mode. I resolved this by flashing 4.3 (which fails with Device 3, Binary 2 or some such message. After that failure though, flashing 4.1.1 works and got my phone back to where it was before.

This is all rather confusing but I assume the 4.1.1 ROM doesn't come with recovery/boot images and requires these from a failed 4.3 flash, or something like that.

Anyway, I guess the upshot is: there's a specific 4.1.1 ROM out there for I9305 which works through Odin despite Knox bootloader being installed on your phone. It's on TSAR3000.com (I can't post links yet 'cause I'm new, but you can find it through Google if you look hard enough).

Any feedback on the above behaviour encountered during my first foray into the land of rooting, flashing and SIM unlocking that may help me/others understand what's actually going on behind the scenes would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Downgrade is very easy. Extract that tar and then select all files except sboot.bin because sboot is the bootloader which causes downgrade fail then compress them into tar agin using 7zip then flash. First do all this with 4.1.2 firmware then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.1☺

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Sojo513:
I have a month old 4G/LTE version of the Kindle Fire HDX 7" that I'd REALLY love to get Firefox OS running on. The problem of course is that A) I'm not a developer, and B) I've never tried to port anything before. On a positive note though, I am an IT guy and have Linux and FreeBSD experience, I have rooted/SafeStrapped/ROM'ed the HDX already, and I'm not overly concerned about bricking it. Also, I've been following the directions as laid out on the Firefox OS page about porting. Setup up Ubuntu 12.04.5LTS as recommended for the build evironment, got the SDK downloaded, etc.

So at this point I'm looking for help in understanding what the next steps are. Given that the HDX is rooted and there are other ROMS (the Nexus 2.0.1 ROM works really well), I have to believe that a lot of the heavy-lifting is already done as far as the binary blobs are concerned. After all, Firefox OS is just Mozilla's own custom roll of Linux (I'd link to the Wiki entry for Firefox OS but apparently I'm not allowed to yet).

So if anyone can give a ROM newb an OVERVIEW/crash course in porting, or if you want to collab on the porting project, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
