[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] J&G:
Hello everyone. I wanted to share my experience with AICP MM rom. Now, again, this is the 6.0.1 MM version, not nougat. It might just help someone with some issues or at least give someone an idea of how to take care of some problems. So, when I flashed it, I instantly loved it. I loved the nougat version as well, but most nougat roms just don't seem quite ready yet, in my opinion. So I ran with the MM version and I noticed from the start, it was way too hyped. I thought to myself, maybe because I haven't set everything up yet, it's a new rom install, Im using a flash drive on it to install my standard apps...all that could be it. No, it was running way too hot always and Also running through the batteries like nothing.

I fought this problem for around 2 days and finally gave up and told myself it was time to looking into something else. One last shot - dirty flash it right over itself(i believe i wiped cache and dalvik/art afterwards as well)

to begin, 2 things I noticed with the first drop of this rom on the phone.

one - when i boot, i always saw two things pop up over the sam note 4 logo. one was in RED "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" and the other in YELLOW "Set Warranty Bit : kernel"

Now, the first time I flashed this rom, I did it how I always flash all roms, i wiped everything - dalvik, cache, internal, system, all of it, and then I install the rom(no gapps for us here). Then i booted and those messages on top of the sam logo were different, only the yellow was there..no red message.

(Everything checked out while using the phone, I usually keep selinux on permissive and it was on permissive so i just continued setting it up.)

After the Dirty flash .... i now saw both the red AND yellow messages that i've always seen before with every other rom.

Second thing - I was always running through batteries, using it for basic things, like looking into settings and kernel adiuter browsing for short periods of time, the battery would drop very quickly. Im talking minutes and im down 10%. also, it would always run hot even for basic things, i would feel it start to heat up a little.

Looking into kernel adiuter, i noticed that the cpu section showed cpu usage at a kinda high avg of about 70%. fluctuating, 60's..80s and up(usually on the high side).

I always like to poke around in kernel adiuter and see how things will change a devices performance and batt life so I did that and nothing at all would stop this phone from killing batteries.

I would change the governor from interactive to conservative and powersaving as well ...

nothing really made a big change to it, maybe powersaving and then it was clunking around, studdering.

But after the dirty flash, The cpu usage settled down ...most of the time, sitting at around 40s...sometimes lower and sometimes of course a spike to 80 90 or 100(but mostly stays on the lower end).

for the battery, i saw some early shut offs at around 40%...20s as well. For that I'm trying an app for battery calibration and first couple of runs after doing the calibration the battery life seems to be normal ...but I'll have to see.

so now...for now....I'm keeping the AICP and im happy with it. Hopeful this helps someone.

thanks for the amazing rom. appreciate it and hopeful you keep it up.
