Heads up guys... wanna save some more battery life?

Install Kernel Audiotr

Underclock to 1.8Ghz max screenon

Undervolt -10

Underclock GPU to 320Mhz

With these I expect to hit a full week on 1 charge (with my zerolemon), and Aralon even seems to play smoother LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
youtube and streamin thru plex to chromecast works good... few more tweaks and i think i got a keeper. Havin an issue getting it to "deep sleep" tho... that will be paramount! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
Have you had a chance to upload your files yet? I tried the V.11 from mega with the latest baseband camera video recording is fine, but the calendar storage problem remains... do you have an S planner apk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
v.11 Camera video rec & calendar storage [solved]

Finally! I figured out why I was having problems. If you are flashing this v.11 rom, are already on the FOL1 baseband, and are coming from another rom, reflash the baseband. This will resolve any problems with "Camera" not being able to record video and presenting with a "Warning: Recording Failed" notification. Also, for some reason, the "calendar storage" process is linked to theSamsung "S Planner" app, therefor you must install the "S Planner" or no calendars will work because the "calendar storage" process will not install. Choosing "nah" during rom installation to skip Samsung apps, will also skip some important processes that are required for some apps (ie. calendars) to work correctly.

It'd be nice to see all standard android processes install even if "nah" is chosen during installation, to skip default Samsung Apps. but.... regardless, problem can be laid to rest now... next time if I have problems, I'll install all bloat/apps to make sure important processes are skipped as a result of skipping samsung apps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
There we go... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Theres an option in the install to include S Planner. Should be able to dirty flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
makes sense about the camera... ive been on fol1 since it hit.

weird about the calendar... ill look at the flasher... shouldnt be any cross relations between google and splanner, but work looking ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
That's awesome that you figured it out. I'm kinda dumbfounded that flashing the baseband fixes it because flashing the ROM doesn't touch the baseband. But whatever works is good.

With the Calendar issue, that's why I asked if you installed S Planner. That's what Samsung TW ROM's use as the default calendar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
yeah...I was confused as to why re-flashing the baseband fixed the problem because I too don't understand how flashing the rom does anything with the baseband.

I typically install roms with as little as possible and customize myself, hence choosing "nah" when presented with the option to skip samsung bloat/apps... but now I know that this rom requires "s planner" or it won't install "calendar storage", which kills use of any calendar.... Technically, the "calendar storage" process can be install without "s planner" and be included with the android installer...but since, with this rom, some processes are left bundled with samsung apps, one will just need to install the samsung app that goes with whatever other similar program to ensure the correct process is installed and running.

lol...I was getting ready to throw Mr. Note 3 away...haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mikef2501:
Hi there - just a note that will hopefully help a couple people out there, and a question of my own:

(1) For the calendar provider/storage issue - it seems like you already figured out that the Samsung S Planner actually includes a couple essential items that are required for an Android calendar. Instead of going though a re-flash, I actually found the Android calendar provider/storage apk and installed that. Worked great from that point on. It was a week ago, and I don't have the link, but if you search for "com.android.providers.calendar", you can probably find a source (be careful, of course).

(2) I am having a couple issues of my own, notably the YouTube/streaming video issue (yes, I ran the command in post #3), and there are a couple apps that just crash right after starting them (like Waze, which I have been addicted to lately - has anyone else had this issue?).

My platform is a T-Mobile Note 3 (US), with baseband N900TUVUFOL1. I already had that baseband installed and was running TWRP 3, I believe, when I first installed version 10.9 of this ROM. I did a full wipe/format/clear of all the partitions before the install, and again before I upgraded to version 11.0 of this ROM. The issues have persisted. Any insight? Is there anything I can provide that might help?

Thanks for the amazing ROM, and thanks in advance for any help!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
r u runnin the kernel in the rom or another?

thanks for #1. #2 Whats Waze? lol Did u try both fixes? There's a build.prop edit that worked for some...

i have the logcat about the issue... unfortunately i havent looked at it yet ( work... family...etc... )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
The easiest way to fix the youtube streaming problem is by editing the build.prop file... the instructions in post 3 says to revise code: ro.product.model=SM-A710F

But that's not right... You need to revise it to: ro.product.model=SM-N900T (or the correct model number of your device)

Youtube, in a way, detects the device and optimizes the video for the device playing/streaming. If you are using a T-mobile Note3, use the correct model number (above). If international Note3, use N9000, N9002, N9005, etc... Those Note3s have Exynos whereas the T-mo variant, has Qualcomm cpu...and it matters. Using the incorrect model number will sometimes work depending on which server your main stream is actually coming from and how that server handled/interpreted your connection... That's basically the creative short version...so that I don't confuse everyone... in order for these hosting servers to remain efficient and make the best use of their resources, they should be constantly re-evaluating their loads to not waste resources... simple example: why should a server send out (waste resources and bandwidth) any better quality of a stream of data to a device that can't handle it...send out only what it needs.

*in case someone needs detailed instructions: unzip the rom file, open build.prop file with notepad, "Ctrl+F" to search and find the "ro.product.model=" code, replace with correct model number (found on back of phone under battery), save file, zip everything back up (make sure to zip the contents and not the folder containing the files as this will result in a folder in a folder situation and the flash will fail), put the file back on your mem card and flash away...

Waze is GPS, Map, Navi, and traffic. Some people find this more accurate than gmaps or other navi programs... depends on the city you are in and how many people are using it. Example: Washington DC is great while Hanna, UT is not...lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mikef2501:
Thanks for the detailed instructions, nguyenbill - when I said that I performed the YouTube fix in post #3, I was only talking about the liboemcrypto rename/deletion, not changing the ro.product.model line. I guess I didn't read far enough :/ . I assume since it is part of the build.prop file it is something that can't be changed on the running device, only on the ROM zip file before a flash. After I change it, can it just be flashed over my current install, or do you recommend doing a wipe/format and clean flash?

Thanks,

Mike
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
it can be changed on a running device... yu'd just have to reboot to take effect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] catchjeff:
Thanks for the update and calendar fix. Been following your ROM's for a few years now and are always the best of the best and when it comes to answering questions and helping [MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] is the best.

Thank you so much for keeping the N3 going.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
Reflash shouldn't be needed....but if you have problems, it's always safe to reflash.

Check "settings--->about device--->device name" and make sure it's showing your device's exact model number...then test youtube

I used to use the Wicked and Jedi roms and when they stopped supporting it, I kept developing and modifying away.... but I'm too busy now to keep messing around so I decided to go to this one. This is a really nice rom. I like it. There are a few bugs here and there but nothing affecting daily use, so it's good for me. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
He said reboot, not reflash Haha. After using a build.prop editor and making a change, the device needs to be rebooted for the change to take effect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
ahahaha...lol....see what going flash crazy, like what I've been doing lately, does to your head? hehe...oops my bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mikef2501:
How do you edit the build.prop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kajiggaa:
[/COLOR]

Download root browser. Tap the home button on the left then tap system build prop is there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mikef2501:
Thanks, kajiggaa. I meant to reply earlier - I downloaded a build.prop editor that had high ratings and edited the ro.product.model to read my device model: SM-N900T. Is this the only entry that we need to worry about? I ask, because there appear to be a bunch of other items in the build section of the file that have to do with the model/hardware/etc., like ro.product.name, ro.product.device, and more.

I rebooted after the change (should I have cleared/rebuilt the cache partition?) and so far YouTube seems to be behaving itself, although Waze still crashes on launch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
themes and theme store open for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mikef2501:
Do you mean the themes section of the settings screen? No, settings crashes when I try to open it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
"settings-->themes" has always failed...but who really cares about themes anyways? :) there are a lot of settings that results in failures and unexpected closes...but it's not really necessary to modify "everything" as the rom is smooth and very functional. there are probably more processes tied to items that were skipped choosing "nah" during rom installation. Themes probably requires the stock samsung stuff... but again, is it necessary?

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

unless you are familiar with editing, don't mess with anything other than what was instructed. you can really make a mole hill into a mountain really quick. hehe

if you want everything to work, don't skip out on installing (nah) anything... downside is more processes and program, which results in more battery consumption... I typically favor lean and only what I need/use.

why waze? google maps is great and their recent releases and updates have features that are basically like waze... more user base = more data = more efficient results. Go Alphabet! lol ...more surveillance too, but who cares? if you're not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to hide.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
The processor has millions of circuit units called (Flip

Flops). These flip flops have two parameters associated with them

called Setup time and Hold time.

Chip designers diligently ensure that all of the millions of the

flip flops in a chip meet the setup and hold time across a broad

range of voltages and silicon parameters. They do a pessimistic

analysis to ensure that a chip will run reliably across a wide

range of voltage/frequency combinations.

However, contrary to the popular belief, chips vary widely in their

silicon parameters. Even chips on a the same wafer and different

flip-flops within the same chip can have widely different silicon

parameters. This is why what works on one particular chip will not

work on the other chip.

As you reduce the voltage of the design, the circuit will start

becoming slower. However typically it will continue to work till at

apoint it starts failing - this failure occurs due to violation of

"setup time" of one or more flops in the design.

So what happens when the setup time or the hold time of a design

fails - the answer is that it is unpredictable. Meaning suddenly if

you ask the processor what is the value of 2+2, the answer it will

provide could be unreliable - in some cases it could be 3, in some

cases it could be 4 in some cases it could be -2349783297 (a random number).

The reason undervolting is so appealing to people because they

thing that undervolting will save power and improve battery

life. While this is true in theory, in practice there is a caveat.

It will reduce the power of the chip, but the power consumed by the

phone as a whole will not improve. In some cases in fact it can

deteriorate. Let me explain.

The most power hungry part in the phone is not the AP - it is the

LCD screen. All of these screens consume a ton of power. So even

though your AP is now consuming lesser power, the overall impact to

the phone as a whole is not that much.

If you accompany undervolting with a frequency reduction (which you

should), the total time taken for doing a web page rendering (for

example) would increase. During this time the screen is on and it

has more than compensated for the power that you saved in the

AP.

If you want that last drop of performance from your phone and you

over clock it, at a point some of the design flops will start

violating the hold time and the design will stop working reliably.

Again, in some anecdotal cases this would work - but this is not a

reliable means/mode of working. Just because your friend's or your

first cousin's girlfriend's phone works - doesn't mean yours will

work as well.

It is hard to say - simply because there are so many of flops in

the design.

In some cases - you wouldn't see anything wrong with the phone

until one day you do. In some cases it will result in a SOD

immediately. In some cases it will result in your phone not waking

up reliably.

thanks for this mate... hopefully others will read it as well. :D

im one ofnthr luckies I guess... i'm comfortably sitting around 6+ days on my zl battery, prior to the change i was hitting 5ish

i also do the old school battery calibrating, and run a few apps.

i would put myself around light to moderate user also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
I've had a few bad experiences with under powering the AP...the gpu is fine... but if your AP can do it, lucky you! The easiest way to know if you begin having problems, is if wake up is slow...which then I would suggest backing everything up daily, if you don't want to increase the voltage... heavy users are the most affected especially with the battery consumption, because their screen is on longer which consumes every bit of power savings afforded by the tuning down the AP's voltage and clock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
definately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ronreedious:
Don't some apps that modify the CPU settings revert to "last known good" settings in the event if failure?

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

BTW I got mine down to 960mhz and she's definitely sipping vs taking shots lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
It doesn't quite always work out like that.... Also depends on what the "app" was supposedly designed to do... I guess the answer to your question could be no....sometimes yes, but not exactly the way you're thinking..?

Sipping vs taking shots means you'll take a lot longer to finish that drink....so you're performing the act of drinking/consuming longer.... Your screen on time is extended and any power savings from slowing down the AP has now been consumed by the most power hungry part, your display...and depending on brightness, you're probably doing more bad than good. :p

There's a point of perfect balance....like a story curve...the climax is the best part. Engineers are paid millions to find it, based on circuitry, resistance, wafer, die, etc. sizes... put it this way, if you aren't sure and don't want to screw up your AP (application processor)...then don't mess with it. What good is an extra half/full day on a battery if you can just plug it in and charge it, and enjoy using it at full speed. If anything, it's usually best to overclock without increasing the voltage. If you're lucky and the die stays cooler because the thermal contact and paste is better, then you'll get more bang for your buck, without sacrificing voltage and power consumption. They set it with a decent buffer for manufacturing variances... Anyways, under clocking is like limiting your Lamborghini to 3000rpm and missing out on the power curve in the higher rpms...lol

This is not the best ROM

this is not the best kernel

this is not the best battery life

This is flat-out the best THING I have ever done to my phone.

So yeah everytime I use my Note 5 I get pissed off at you guys every time... I use my Note 3? I get pissed off at you guys cuz it reminds me of my n920t...

Completely destroys my n920t and I wish you guys would come over there and help TMobile development

Is there any support for cifs in the Dominion kernel? Can you guys help out with modules for it if not?

bump the voltage in small increments to see if it makes a difference. Sometimes it takes awhile to for problems to present. if you put stress on certain components, it'll respond and process properly, but after awhile, the flip/flop fails.... if errors presents and values don't match, you'll start to notice more. let me know if you find something stable

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncncp:
The question now is: is it worth all the hassle for maybe an extra partial day of battery or just go back to stable and plug your phone in when it needs to be charged? lol I'm telling you, I spent 16yrs messing with processor settings, underclocking/overclocking for AMD and Intel CPUs...used air, water, liquid nitrogen, and even liquid helium for cooling. What I learned from it all, is the best result is optimal performance for one's time and effort. Fractional improvements that requires too much time and effort = wasted time and efforts.

Wicked_kk v1 rom with kernel 3.4.0-660648 and baseband ENK3, has one of the most stable and extended battery life... why do you think it can afford that result? It's the processes's use of the AP and GPU. also disabling the Force GPU rendering (2D hardware acceleration) will save some battery as it was only really necessary when GPUs had a better ratio of performance to energy consumption ratio than the AP...the note 3's snapdragon is fine and very efficient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ronreedious:
I disagree. I have had signifigant increases in battery life with the settings i mentioned earlier. Not as much energy is wasted thermally either.
