I notice a huge diference in battery life...

In normal use (no Wifi ou BT) i spend about 1% for each +-15-20min

How about you guys?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
wifi consumes a lot of energy, so you can measure for how much time it will turn off from full battery. My battery fails and i have ordered a new one i will test it when i recieve the new one, but now it fails after 10 minutes of wifi usage
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tunekas:
BA Very hot, and battery drains...FASTER.

I notice that i have battery drain since i've upgraded to wm6...

My BA it's very hot, i never seen it like this...

i have Wireless off, Beam off, Bluetooth off, low brightness...

Any one knows what's happen? Is it problem of WM6 or some application?

Is there anything overcloking my Ba???
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
Exactly the opposite !! If u want it to last longer , just reduce the brightness to 40% , believe me ull get surprised..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tunekas:
Xeon.... i have the brightness at minimum, but i think that the problem is not that... i always used brigtness like this...

theres some problem with this rom or with some application...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
i dont think it's because of the ROM . i played Holdem Poker on my device 2 days ago it was fully charged and 4 hours later i got 34% remaining with Level : 2 Brightness , no wifi , gprs , bluetooth or MMC/SD installed . ( 1450mah battery )
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SandStorm:
well, it drains a bit faster, but...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] flyboy_____:
WM6 is very good and stabble its a very good upside!

I've tested the following:

- No Wifi

- No BT

- No GPRS

- Brightness 100%

- SD inserted

- No operation at all (timers for backlight an turn off at 60min)

O got the following drainage:

21:06	52%

21:09	51%

21:11	50%

(the timmings aren't all exact, because some times when I looked it had already changed the %)

In conclusion for each +-4min i lost 1% in battery. (remenber that brightness was 100% don't be scared :) )

Can anyone test in WM5 the same scenario? or in another WM6?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] robertut:
Mine is OK. I don't experience bigger drains than the WM5 baniaczek.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tunekas:
flyboy

I'm having +/- the same values that you post....

2% drains in 5 minutes.

Theres something that is making this... My BA is HOT, i've never seen it like this.

Problem from some application or from the rom... but what?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] sunish:
i've also noticed the temperature issue...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
I dont have that temperature Issue . Maybe your XDA is sick or suffering from an inflammatory disease ? scan for viruses :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
so there is not significant battery drain in this rom, test without the home today plugin and you will find this out :)

i can not test much until i got the new battery
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SandStorm:
i do not have the heating problems, it is now, working from yesterday 3am and now, it is 4:45pm and i have 37% remaining. my usage is mostly web
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
so the conclusion is that it does not drain battery so drastic - it wirks in normal amounts of energy consuming. maybe all with problems should think about new battery - i did, i can not blame roms for this because it was happening with my wm5 also and the same is with wm6 so the problem is in my device
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] HDuser:
Well fact for me is that it gets hot!

I skipped the WM5 hype so for me its a looking at 2003 (1.42) and this wm6 rom.

From my point of view its does use more power than before.

Wifi uses even more than before.

Its subjective and I can live with it.

@Flyboy

Did you have a home plugin or the standard rom ?

If so can you do the same test with / without it.

That would not be subjective and would may be point a finger
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Xeon:
I didnt have battery draining problem with HTC today plugin , but i started to notice after i installed the iphone.cab simulator that it's draining more than 20% faster than ever !! I believe maybe it's because the plugin needs to load more than 30 dll files with 251 priority and 11 threads and keep them running in the RAM . Another thing , be sure to end task the Active sync because when u unplugg the devices it keeps running on your PPC as background process ( dont ask me WHY ) .
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ozmanic:
hmm,strange comments.

i have no problems at alll with this rom.no unnormal drainings and my BA dont gets "hot" in normal use.it gets only hot when i use wifi over long periods.

htc home plug is installed.

ps.:hmm..maybe try out to disable/stop audio manager and then try again to control draining;

or press pause and then reverse button on audio manager.maybe it causes battery drainage when song is loaded and paused.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] flyboy_____:
I have a HOT BA!!... Well not in temperature :) ;)

No I do not have any temperature issue.

I've tested without the home CAB.

I agree with xplode.. This rom drains a bit more than WM5 but nothing drastic, and my battery as many years... probably requires someday a new replacement.

If anyone with WM5 could report the drainage, we could discover the % of diference between the roms. That is the point!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] ozmanic:
hmm..i tried it to find any strange things with it.

battery drainage-fully normal.

charged it full at:20:30 MEZ

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Wexx:
I left my BA in flight mode (IrDA off as well) and overnight battery drain was around 15-20% (it should be 1-2%). I had almost nothing installed (TCPMP, some VJ Tools and QIP) and I had done a soft reset before leaving the BA on the table. So there wasn't any 3rd party program able to cause this heavy battery drain. There must either be a ROM program causing heavier CPU usage or some interface active. Also for a quick look the device seems to get up from standby mode quicker than in WM5. This could be due to system optimisation or the device doesn't really go into a standby but some higher consumption mode.

Anyone guess what is the problem?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] flyboy_____:
Hi guys

Now I'm using WM6 in normal day usage, I notice a little more consume than WM5 but nothing like it was in the begining.

Now the drain is OK and aceptable.

If it is possible to save battery ok...

I've flash it like Wiki tells and the after installed all programs I've erased all registry hive, then reinstalled all programs... maybe stupid, but in WM5 it happend me by accident and BT seemed to have starded working better.

Something must be different, I hardly notice any battery drain at all.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] robal:
Hi

I've got the battery drain issue too.(although without HOT BA).

I test different ROMs a lot. And I've noticed that:

- 2005/2006 roms are of course WAY better at saving battery (if working correctly that is)

- some 2005 roms had problem with BA waking up (even with BT OFF), and that lead to battery drain

- some wm2006 roms drain battery (very FAST ! and without waking up BA)

- WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2) by Helmi DIDN'T drain my battery

- WM6 CE OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT) also DIDN'T drain my battery

- WM6 CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) by Explode DRAINS my battery

By "didn't drain" I mean, that my BA can work for a week without charging.

By "drains" I mean, that BA dies in less than 12 hours. Even before dying, I soft-resets when you try to power it on, if battery is lower than 30%.

It seems that ROM based on older CE (5.2.1620) (also PV.HAT has older base, the version numer on PV.HAT is a little joke :) ) don't drain. That's my observation. I hope we will find a good solution to this.

Cheers

I have noticed different battery behavior with wm5 and wm6. with wm5 battery drains slower, but the phone and BT starts to hang and lose connection at aprox. 15% of battery left. Same at wm2003. With wm6 battery drains a bit faster but I have reliable phone & BT connection almost to 1-2% of battery left. So in the end wm6 better for me. Also I’ve noticed, that HTC home and Soti CardExport is very power consumption ones.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] SilverSamurai:
guys... just want you to know

i thought it was normal for the battery to go flat that fast.

i was using the HTCHome, and the BatteryPack from OmegaONe which monitors the battery percentage, free memory, sd card status.

i've noticed a significant change in battery drainage when i disabled the BatteryPack...

i think it's because i had it monitor my SD card and Free Memory, which took some power from time to time.

check your apps for those who access the SD card. my 10c.

:D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] robal:
OK. So I've returned to WM2003SE to investigate the battery matter.

It's known that WM5 and WM6 ROMs are better at saving battery than old WM2003.

Well, funny thing, but my battery drains normally now. It's an old battery, but still lasts few days of light use (contrary to WM6 which lasts 12 hours on my BA).

I've had this problem with most WM6 builds.

Hi all lovely people here, this is my first thread post here on XDA.

My long lived Sony Xperia ZL has failed me, the microphone and sim card has problem thus i'll need to change the whole board which is pretty costly.

Thinking about getting a rather cheap good smartphone and this came to my mind.

I'm a rather light user, i don't play heavy games on it.

Use it for mostly social and love to flash rom and switch between few in a month.

Any fellow user here? I'd love to hear some advice and reviews. :)

Is Mi a good phone to root and flash roms to? Is it easy?

I had this idea, and I'm sure its been thought of before. I did a lot a searching for something but turned up nothing.

I wouldn't know how to make a module for this which is why I'm reaching out to the community. Any thoughts?

Installed cromi-x 5.4 resurrected on a TF700t today.

Upgraded TWRP to 2.8.7

/data format took about 40 minutes

Smooth install following the directions.

Wasn't sure which DPI to select, went with 213. Should have I selected 240?

Tablet noticeably faster and feels usable again, ty guys for your hard work.

While reinstalling apps via Play Store, came across a few apps

(Star Wars Angry Birds, Wells Fargo, and a few others)

that say Not Compatible, that previously worked.

Not sure what exact problem is but suspect it has something to do with DPI, Play Store, and Play Services.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383&page=82

Additionally Google keyboard has word repeating quirks. Not sure if related to possible DPI problem

Any help would be appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
First, if the format took about 40 minutes, then you selected to use ext4 for your /data partition....:D I would recommend that you use f2fs for both /data and /cache partitions to see further improvement.

Second, about incompatible apps, some apps may requires to set your DPI to 240 on your device. However, I never have that issue with my device.

To change your DPI after the ROM installation, you can follow the instruction on page #2 at the bottom from the link below:

[Asus Transformer TF700] vikthor721:
I did the initial /data format to start with a clean slate which formatted it to ext4.

When I installed Cromi 5.4 resurrected, I selected f2fs for both /data and /cache during the install process.

When I go back into TWRP and look, it shows:

/system ext4

/data f2fs

/cache f2fs

Changing the DPI to 240 made no difference for some app compatibility problem.

Could it be something with Play Services and or Play Store?

fyi, when I run a full benchmark in Quadrant, it reports ~ 6340

Does that seem kind of low?

Any suggestions?

ty you again for your help guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Good that you selected both /cache and /data using f2fs....:good:

Did you update everything on your device to the latest version? I am not sure why it is incompatible in some of your apps. could you ask the developers of those apps? The only thing in my mind is that the resolution on our device may be incompatible with some of the apps and games.

Did you run the quadrant on the Balance mode? This mode is only using 1400MHz for the CPU. If you test it again in the Performance mode, it should be around 7800 average, 7600 low, and 8000+ high. You can select those settings in the lower right corner if you need more performance or save battery on the fly...:)

Cheers,

[Asus Transformer TF700] Hannes_HD2:
Is there any real world benefit of using f2fs for cache?
[Asus Transformer TF700] vikthor721:
It was running in Balanced mode, ty.

I changed it to Performance mode and notice a significant improvement with a benchmark of about 7700 but also realized Play Store was doing a gazillion updates. Will rerun it as soon as I clean up Play Store and disable updates.

I need to research a way to keep it in Performance mode. It changes back to Balanced every time when rebooting.

Still no joy with a few certain apps saying there not compatible. Will keep researching.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
According to most of developers here, it does not affect anything.....:D However in my opinion, if it does not do anything, then it does not matter it is formatted in ext4 or f2fs. If it does for some reasons, f2fs is better for random write speed.......;) The /cache partition is there for a reason....

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Yes, the Balance mode is the default setting when you reboot your device...:)

You can update the Balance mode with the same parameter as Performance mode. Please refer to page #2 to update your setting for your CPU and GPU for your Balance mode.

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/cromi-x-5-4-resurrected-tweaks-t3273515

Change the values on your Balance mode with these new numbers:

Balance mode	: GPU @ 700MHz and CPU @ 1.8GHz (cpu2.sh)

Hi,

I would like to use a quick launcher like SlidePad or Smart Task Launcher.

These apps run in the background and allow you to access shortcuts whenever you swipe on pre-defined "hotzones".

Unfortunately it seems like the Honor 7's battery saving features kill these apps whenever I go back to the homescreen. When I am directly inside the mentioned two apps I can use the hotzones. Then, when I press home, the hotzones do not work anymore.

I am on Android 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1 and as launcher I use Nova Launcher.

What I also tried is enabling those apps as "protected apps" in the phone settings.

Any suggestions?

I happened to own a Acer Z220, I want to root it and get xposed framework for additional feature (a 3rd party rom is not expected at this stage:crying:).

I find some good stuff from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=674828, if someone speaks Russian, please ask if vm03 could update the twrp to the latest.

What I want is an updated version of TWRP.

ps: Since this unpopular phone has no excising Root+Recovery solution around, I decide to post what I have concluded so far.

-------------------------------------what I have concluded so far---------------------------------------------------------------

boot into recovery:

1st press and hold vol+ and power key

wait til vibret 2 times then release both key

and press vol - key wait 10 to 15sc

thanks trust4eve83

boot into fastboot

press and hold vol- and power key, wait 10 to 15sc

How to do a nand backup(without flashing a 3rd party recovery)

boot into fastboot

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot devices (make sure your device is there)

fastboot boot twrp.img (doing this also test if the 3rd party recovery will work for your device before you acturally flash it)

now you in twrp

Only working Root method:

I had tried many method, only KingRoot works.

Ps:

You might require a second try for a success root, and you "might" lost root access after restart.

How to flash a 3rd party recovery (after rooted)

$ su

# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25

assuming your recovery block is the same as mine, or try:

# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

# reboot recovery

Ps:

Since I really dislike the root manager bundled with KingRoot, thus repeated some of the above steps to get clean system with TWRP+SuperSU.

Root it by kingroot. Change it with SuperSU . ( google kingroot to SuperSU) . The one in used terminal emulator. Now u have SuperSU installed

For custom recovery, i can't help u . However , u can use flashfire to flash xposed framework. Download xposed framework , and flash the zip file ( exposed framework) with flashfire. Don't check auto mount , just proceed . After that , scroll down to everRoot option, and check all box inside it. After u done , flash. Last , install xposed installer. and voila!

My advice : don't use xposed framework if u don't know what you are doing . If something gone wrong , reflash ur Acer with a stock ROM ( u can get it from S4trio blog )
