Battery life

Hello there I appreciate your work really much and I love what you're doing but i just wanted to tell usomething about the battery life when i went to sleep it was on 70% and in the morning after 6-7hours the battery was only 2%. My phone was on deep sleep i can guarantee you that plus all setiings were minimized so that the battery would be optimized if you can do something about it that would be great :) thank you

GT-I8190N

Hi,

I just installed the new 5.1.1 rom on my old GT-8190N. Everything works apart from "Back" and "Menu" keys which also do not light up,nor do they work. They flicker on and off quickly five times when booting, but do not work in 5.1.1 or in Team Win Recovery Manager.

Is this a problem when rooting the GT-8190N?

New rom is great thanks very much. golden-guy

Its great seeing how you listen to feature requests and add them, while keeping a smooth and stable rom.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Hi,

I you still have the issues, here it was solved them for me:

- call breaks: should not happen with latest rom. If it does, you need to clear data from dialer, sms/mms and phone app, then reboot

- for battery I really have low consumption with this rom. You could install greenify and hibernate unecessary apps, and activate the option to disable wifi when screen is of. My phone battery usage when screen is off is near 0-5 % even overnight

For the gapps, i have installed minimal edition with works great! http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

And even has a bloatware remover.

Problems with Fast Dormancy

Hello, after many problems wakelocks related to google services in 4.4 the roms, I found this OMNI ROM and I tried a couple of builds ago, is incredibly stable, without any reboot, I'm pretty happy with it, but Although everything works great, I can mention one detail:

- My carrier (Movistar-Venezuela) does not support Fast Formancy, so when I turn mobile data I have a big battery drain, the wakelock Secril_fd-interface keeps the phone awake, there will be a way to disable this feature? this happens only when I'm on 3G. it would be good to include a switch for this in future builds.

I would appreciate any help. in wifi battery usually lasts between 12 and 13 hours of moderate use but 3g, virtually no use barely reaches 5 or 6 hours.

PD: sorry for my bad English xD

I am a huge fan of both OmniRom and SlimLP, I use SlimLP just because there a few more features.

I tried to create swap but it didn't work. The system didn't load the swap file. Is it possible to add such feature? I think it may be useful. I run out of ram quite often without intensive use of phone.

Posting this thread in the Note 4 section and the Droid Turbo section to get fair, balanced opinions.

I currently have the VZW Note 4, and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The camera quality is lacking, the phone isn't fast, though I keep reading how zippy it should be. I have 5 apps installed that didn't come with the phone, and have disabled the bloatware apps. With that said, I'm thinking of moving to the Droid Turbo and wanted some opinions.

I've read the comparison articles, and I'm hoping the community can help me make the best decision based on which phone is likely to root and/or unlock bootloader first, ROM availability, and longevity of update life (will I receive further updates beyond Lolli).
