Bugreport / Kinda optimization request: battery drain is really intense, please optimize it. but so gar this rom is awesome in usage, damn this is heavily fluid
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fards:
It's getting better with a few cycles, although phone use is still as bad as stock,

But not sure if that's ril or modem though.

screen on 2 hours with 13%use, 35% drop overall.

Not bad for an initial build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Lock Gestures with Words like "O" and swipe up to unlock in the M.A.D. extra settings.. don't work if you have your phone locked with fingerprint, like they work but when you unlock the phone it does anything or better it does not unlock the phone and open the app we put in it.

Just want to report it..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Xorianator:
You meant after a few cycles of recharging with this ROM?

Think battery lasts longer on Verevskas CM Build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kisger13:
Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply. I activated the smartwake but it is not working. ( I do not use fingerprint lock) :(

More bugs:

- wifi hotspot is not working

- search bar on main screen is not working (I can not type in, and can not remove it if I want)

Good news:

- GPS is really awesome, accuracy is perfect and it not heat up the phone during charging with Waze

- Call quality is good

Thank you so much.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dobermann24:
Yes standbye battery drain crazy. Hope of an fast update fix. Heavy wakelock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Lol i don't want to say it but i see a animation lag when unlocking the phone with fingerprint (the animation literally fade on the screen but very laggy) but this is one of the last problem to fix actually, after LED and battery i guess?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gycu:
I can confirm the idle battery drain and the antutu low score.

I may be the only one to use the flip cover, but is there any way to make the hull sensor functional?

The rom is indeed incredibly fluent, great work so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
The standby battery drain is the really important issue here, I think. For me and probably most people, it's the only issue that's preventing the use of this ROM as a daily driver - all other issues are about performance degradation, random glitches or missing hardware support (after all there are phones without notification led...): small annoyances but not critical.

As things are now, it doesn't seem the battery will last through longer days, so I'll probably flash the backup of my previous setup once the holidays are over. It's a bit sad because everything else is really great - even the telephony/mobile data part, which I thought was more likely to have problems, appears to work fine. Of course, this is a beta - so nobody can say a thing about unmet expectations.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Yeah, that's bothering us as well. You can be sure we're looking into this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fosseperme:
pump express charge works with this rom aosp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
It works but it doesn't charge as fast as with the ROM I had before, it may have to do with the wakelocks problem (the phone doesn't turn off even when charging, and ends up charging slower).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Thanks for your time about this ROM, also will you fix the LED too or you got trouble about it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 0312Penner:
With Kernel adiutor i saw that only 4 cores are active all the time. Maybe this causes the low score in benchmark tests
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
What are the settings your using for AP?

(encryption, etc)

Search Bar to be usable if im not mistaken you need nano gapps or higher (pico doesnt have it)

yup

whats the problem with LED?

Did you tried turning on :Settings> SystemUI Tuner> Other> Power Notifications Controls ?

And then on Settings apps> APP_NAME> Notifications> Increase the importance ?

This are new features of Nougat ...

EDIT: If you meant about the colors ...

ye, we are looking into it, the above is for "missing led notifications per/apps"

cheers

PS: Battery is being looked at...

Even on stock was bad ... This phone lacks several optimizations ...

Some things where already fixed, added ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
Using Brave browser I could see 5 cores being used for brief moments on heavier pages. During AnTuTu benchmark it uses all the cores. Using Mediatek's tool to monitor ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediatek.multicoreobserver ).

One thing I've noticed during AnTuTu, JavaScript benchmarks and other single-threaded tasks is that it doesn't use the A72 cores for long periods of time. It uses one of the cores, then after five seconds or so, switches to a slower core for a second or so, before switching back to the powerful one. Maybe the scheduling/hotplugging can be improved. This is with the default scheduler. Keep in mind that often this is a matter of "maximum performance or battery life, pick one".

I tested this with Gmail. Set it to level 5 (highest importance), then put the phone in standby. Then I sent an email to myself. After waiting a bit, the screen turned on with the notification (peek functionality), but the led stayed off. Ever since I installed this ROM I'm yet to see the led turn on for any reason other than to show the battery is charging (where it is solid red while the battery is below 90% or so, and becomes solid green after that).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
I tried your suggestion and set everthing at high, but still the problem persist: every notification from app when the screen is off i get, i don't see my LED doing anything.

Also when charging the LED is always red until 90% it become green, and when we get a notification when charging the led disappear and only when pressing hardware button to power on the screen and unlock it show the LED green or red for a moment, so when you get away the notification you get when charging and lock the phone again it will show the LED green or red again without disappear until we get another notification.

Is there any fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fire855:
As far as I know has android no OpenCL support.. Using the library was just a way that apps can still use OpenCL. Android N isn't allowing direct access to nearly all libraries anymore. The OpenCL test apps aren't working because they lost the access to libOpenCL. libOpenCL is only in the whole system because camera needs it. I see in that neither a bug nor a problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kisger13:
Hi,

Thank you so much, I put the nano gapps and that solved the search bar issue. I did not know that pico not contains.

I did several test with the hotspot, I tried all the posible settings combinations but none of them works. I starts, shuts off wifi, then says it's error, but it keeps on and the icon shows in the statusbar. :crying:

Also yesterday I rooted and put Greenify on the phone and for today morning it just used 24% so this is much better then yesterday's 42% without Greenify.:fingers-crossed:

Now I can survive with the ROM untill the battery drain will be fixed.:o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Why dont you try the rom as is. Not eith all the apps you installed. It is good possible that 1 (or more) of your apps the problem is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FoxBob79:
Maybe it would help NOT to restore all the old settings and apps you are carring around since two or three Android versions... Just setup a new and clean system!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I'd like to ask from anyone who has been using this ROM about the fingerprint reader and camera performance. I do not expect miracles on these fields, but on the stock they were performing in an extremely poor fashion. Does it get any better here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FrankJHTC:
I did a clean install with New setting..

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
Fingerprint reader performs very good in my opinion. It unlocks you device in 1 second if you hit the half of the reader otherwise it has too less information about you finger to unlock it.

The camera is also quiet okay, not better but even not worser than on stock rom. HDR is not in camera settings, 4K is not ready yet but the pictures or videos are okay.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mslr:
Hi,

Netfilx work but the download option don't appear on this ROM, (work on the Official ROM) does any body know why ?

Regards

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Can you try if it works when you install android system webview from playstore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Whoever is using substratum remember to disactivate Google Pixel NavbarSkin on the m.a.d. settings otherwise your navbar will always show a yellow dot in the center if you theme your navigation bar.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trojanere:
I think the camera is better than the stock ROM. After last ota my camera seemed to be taking photos out of focus and also seem slow/laggy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
This is the followup to yesterday's post...

As I said, after a full discharge I left the phone charge to 100% (and waited for a hour or so), then disabled mobile data and left it to discharge (I didn't use the phone at all) with WiFi on. The phone vibrated for some emails and a couple text messages this morning, that's all.

Since yesterday at 2 pm until today at 11 am, the battery drained from 100% to 18%. This is 3.9% per hour. Wakelock Detector says it has statistics for about 16 hours and of those the phone was on deep sleep for only 2h44.

The wakeup count "champions" are the Gapps: the Google App at 863395 wakeups (most of those from the wonderful NlpCollectorWakeLock), and Gmail at 526764 wakeups. Even though the bars in WLD for all apps are empty, which means that all those wakelocks are not being held for much time, I guess the lack of deep sleep can indeed be attributed to Gapps - assuming there's no longer any problem with the ROM itself, of course, since some people are getting very good results.

I did indeed restore the data for some apps from backup, but not for Gapps nor any system apps. Only for games and a few apps which aren't even appearing in the wakelock lists at all. Of course, I could have gotten unlucky with the Gapps ZIP I flashed, which is a micro package from February 10.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Please try gapps from 10th January and repeat the above (if you have time for this)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
Can I dirty-flash those over the existing ones, or do I need to wipe data completely and start fresh? Because if it's the latter, I really don't have time for that...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddes1402:
Yes we can. Wipe system, Cache, flash rom zip, then gapps and supersu if needed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Maybe you should read the thread. He is asking if you can (dirty) flash a previous version of gapps over an existing.

I have no idea about that, maybe someone else?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Should be fine the way written above.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mslr:
Yes i install Android System Webview, but no download option work with the original firmware :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Without flashing the rom then?

Otherwise the whole rom is installed again and you loose all your installed apps

Is that working then?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reebomber:
I dirty flashed open Gapps yesterday, with no problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Maybe this will help:

https://www.ghacks.net/2016/12/01/h...nload-netflix-content-to-your-android-device/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddes1402:
I read the thread and gave an answer to his question. Maybe I'm doing all this flashing stuff for too long and this wasn't clear enough. But when you just wipe system and cache you don't loose any data. Whipping system cleans your former gapps package. So this isn't a full wipe, factory reset, loose of your datas, whatever you thread reader call this. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Thank you for clearing it out.

Sorry :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Huncriter:
I'm using latest gapps and deep sleep working well
[Miscellaneous Android Development] comand11:
Hi, how can I activate the clock for the smart cover?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I would like to know also. It is fitting so nice and that's 1 of the reasons my wife doesnt like this mad-rom :lol

Which lock/clock-app or setting is it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
On stock rom, it is built in frameworks.

Maybe there's also an app for this...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skylineone044:
I have good news!

The phone didn't luse a single % of battery over night.

My 'setup':

-Greenify: Agressive doze

-Link2sd: both google's launcher3 and the other one frozen

-And I foun an app called:'disable application'

Which lets me create a widget to freeze/unfreeze an app I have such widgets for: facebook messenger, google play services, bluetooth sharing, and gmail.

-I haven't installed the facebook app

-I Have disabled backround data for apps

-The phone was connected to the hove wifi the whole night

-I didn't have an alarm for this morning

-Have older Gapps (from 2016.12.20)

-LSpeed: I put every possible setting to battery, and disabled motion detection

I think that's it... :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Ah ok... If its in the framework then as nice as that you never get it. Thanx anyway.

If the last last tiny issues will be fixed soon i will put the MADrom also to my wife's phone

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

With this i think you proofed that there is no battery drain anymore in the rom. Every single percentage of battery use is normal because of apps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gazwalesuk:
I find on mad 7.1 stable 2 that apps crash the lock screen such as snap chat anybody going to fix this issue ? Plus battery lasts longer in stock?

Thanks

Gaz

PS re installed twice definitely still major bugs! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I realize also that sometimes apps are (randomly) crashing, but directly start the app again is working fine.

And the battery is better than stock

But what are major bugs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gazwalesuk:
I had to reboot phone when apps crashed and battery seemed to last better on stock

Will wait for 3.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
I want to believe there is no battery drain. But my experience tell me otherwise. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stefg:
No battery drain. For my settings, battery usage for the night is about 3% for 6-8 hours (97% deep sleep), with data on (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth off). I’m using 3g network because in my house I get low 4g signal and the constant network change between 4g and 3g, is draining the battery.

The rom is working great and it solves the problems I had with the stock one with in-call volume control and media volume. The only problem I found is that when I set 3g (WCDMA preferred) or 2g (GSM only), data connection takes long time to be established or there are some disconnections. No problem with 4g profile (LTE/UMTS auto). I had similar issues in stock rom but when I set “EURO Band” from phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#* – Select radio band – EURO Band), it was ok. In this rom it crashes, so I think it’s not an option.

MAD team you did great work and thank you for that!

After a few full wipes of my smartwatch and my phone, I think all is running fine so far... I figured out that Bluetooth is off after switching the phone off and on again.

Bluetooth is always on for me, then I turned the phone off and on again. Bluetooth is switched off. I've to switch it on manually... I'm not rooted.

Found a bug can anyone else confirm.

When you type text in using the keyboard it will crash the keyboard if you accidentally slide your finger on the letters as if you atr using swipe.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Yes you are right. That's a bug [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

I use SwiftKey keyboard, but wuth aosp-keyboard and then swipe... It crashes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Xorianator:
I did the following things to fix it (had problems with GBoard, when coming from GApps):

Uninstall the keyboard

Install it in a manual way again

...

Profit
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Yes ok. But aosp keyboard should be working out of the MAD-box.

It is probably not completely good implemented, maybe rights, maybe file/part missing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddes1402:
Personally I'm satisfied with the battery life after some days of usage (170 apps installed, no gaming, just web surfing, xda labs, Spotify etc, adaptive brightness 50%,only 3g Internet). The only lil drawbacks for me are the cam performance and the more unstable android auto connection.

Everything is running pretty smoothly. Great job team MAD!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Thanks for reporting... Getting it as well...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
170 apps??? Pfffff
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
I tried almost everything.

Why people get 2 days of usage and i can't even get up to 20?

Only 3 hours of browsing (not even gaming)

I did another full wipe before testing with a new (but old) gapps package.

Well 20 hours is good for this battery but people getting better score.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
I don't know if this is normal, I personally don't think so, but I connected the phone several times to one bluetooth speaker and the volume rocker is going crazy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lymbra:
I'm using a bluetooth headset but dont face that problem. Also I have a different icon, its the typical note with a small bluetooth sign.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
That icon appear for me when the speaker is actually connected but this appear too but doesn't go away.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] D_Gires:
Sceen mirroring function(not working) got me the same bar and also made all wireless networks invisible. I deleted wifi folder with root access to get default config and now at least i don' t have that sound bar.

Data->Misc->Wifi

Hope this helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trojanere:
Personally I think the Bluetooth performance with connectivity at least is a bit slow and also hit and miss.

On the upside the volume is better than stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Bluetooth performance, hmmm, have not so much problem with that.

What i do have is when screen is off and not talking or listening to music, the BT-connection drops and connects automatically directly again. But when screen is on or when listening then BT stays connected.

Anyone same issues or solution ... Good possible that it is the BT-device but not sure.

i have a problem with bluetooth in connection with runtastic and audible.

when i hear to an audiobook with audible and runtastic wants to tell me something, audible pauses as usual, but i cant hear anything from runtastic.

runtastic + spotify works fine.

runtastic + audible through internal speakers works also fine..

i already reinstalled both apps.. no success.

Perhaps anyone can try to reproduce it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vcarbajo:
same here!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NotImaginary:
Can someone confirm this for the Stable 2? Because I tried it and it doesn't work for me. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reebomber:
Sort of. What I notice is that if I am listening to music over bluetooth (Google Play Music and Spotify), when the screen goes off there is a hiccup on the music. After that all is fine. However, today I got a call while listening to music over bluetooth, and the screen never even lit up, the phone was ringing (on the bluetooth headphones) for almost a minute, but screen never woke up, and eventually I lost the call.

I wiped everything except SD card this saturday, installed ROM, reboot into recovery, installed last pico gapps and supersu. Installed all apps from scratch, and apparently the lock screen lag is better (normally), but sometimes it will take a long time (meaning over 30 seconds).

Battery is great, I charged the phone to 100% yesterday evening, slept with phone unplugged for 8 hours in airplane mode and still had 100% in the morning. After a day of heavy usage I still have 34% battery (charged over USB from roughly 60 to 80%, then started discharging again.

Bugs I still notice:

- Double tap to wake is not "fast", but again I think the problem is the lock screen lag

- Night light is not working automatically (doesnt turn on or off)

- Wallpaper changes, but reverts to standard Nougat after a couple minutes (not sure what triggers it)

the most crippling bug is clearly the lock screen lag, it seems that it takes too long for the processor to speed up from idle, and the phone gets very slow when unlocking...

Thanks for the great ROM anyway, when the phone is working without this problem, it is very fast.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stefg:
[MENTION=4483116]reebomber[/MENTION], do you have greenify installed? For some reason this app was responsible for the lag you describe in my device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mlara.particular:
Hi guys, tried to install open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico- any of the recent updates of February, but all of them give me Google Play Service - crash, had to revert back to January versions.

Just for your info.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reebomber:
No, never used it, but it does feel that it might be an app, the phone didn't have this problem (obviously) before I started installing apps. It's not easy to debug by installing apps one by one, since it seems it is a bit intermittent, it feels that it gets worse with more time of use (so after a reboot it is working fast).

I suspected Google's phone and uninstalled that, but the problem is still there. Using the wakelock detector there were many wakelock coming from Google fit, so disabled the location and background monitoring, but problem remains...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Maybe you need to start fi. Youtube and when the update-question of services is popping up, install it.

I used already a couple of February gapps, but always micro. Never had a problem with play services crashing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mlara.particular:
Unfortunately, when I reboot the phone from TWRP, it starts giving me the "Google Service Is Not Working" right from the beginning, and it won't let me stop it or anything, just every 10 seconds popping up window with the "Google Service not working", I found no way to stop this:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
You definitely must have done something wrong...

Reboot recovery, wipe data, and install rom and gapps right after each other
