[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] Ma310:
Thanks for this awesome rom. :D

However, being a a310 user, I have a couple of problems using this rom.I have tried literally every solution I can find on XDA but still those persist.I don't have much hope left now and if I can't find any fix soon, I'll probably go to a marshmallow rom or the stock one.To list the problems I face -

1. Battery drain (not really drain but discharging much faster compared to stock rom; drains only in performance mode with all cores flipped on). :(

Unless I put phone on standby,battery drains faster than in stock one.Changing cpu governor doesn't help either.Playing a 1080p video (unplayable with stock/heavy stuttering and quality decrease with mx player In SW decoder) drains battery faster than anything I did in stock rom including those heavy battery consuming online games.

2. Overheating. :mad::mad:

Putting phone in performance mode raises temp to 58 C withing a minute. I have to switch to hot plug or powersave governor or close the app running at all to cool down the battery. I mean I don't want my hand or body parts risking to explode. Tuning down performance means again lag in video plays or games. Is there any thermal driver or something sort of that missing from the rom?

3. Heavy video stuttering. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Default players cannot run any video 1080p and 720p in some cases. In the older stock rom, 1080p 60fps videos ran as smooth as butter even in stock media players,well they ran smoothly in any media player. Now in this rom, it's not like this. Videos can barely play, let alone any watchable or smooth state. Only plays somewhat watchable in MX player using sw video decoder and putting cpu governor to performance with all cores switched on. There is also sometimes sudden increase in video play speed and unsynchronized av play. HW+ decoder , which played videos butter smooth doesn't work at all now in this rom. HW decoder works barely, freezes at intense/rapid effects/animations in video while playing laggily and unsynchronized av. Only SW works which in turns decreases the quality of the video itself . Even then it isn't as smooth as it was on the stock rom. I guess default media plays try to play video using hw decoder and so they can barely play it (more like crawling the video). God knows why the media codecs which worked like charm previously don't work the same now. Guess either something is missing from the rom itself or isn't very optimized specifically for a310.

4. Auto rotation.

Doesn't work. Not a big problem. Manageable. Unlike the above ones.

5. Camera quality.

Max available megapixels is 8 MP for both front and rear ones. 5 MP of quality wasted I guess, even though I know MPs aren't only indicators of the quality of picture. Also clear noticeable quality decrease during the clicking itself.

6. Accelerometer and Compass.

Sensors don't work. So recalibration in out of options. Is still tried but failed as usual.

I have tried like a dozen solutions I can find on the XDA or other places, to no avail.

Trying different media players and/or updating the said players, adding # in from of some media.xxxx line in build.prop, flashing the older media codecs patch by jpower ( which resulted in error, likely already integrated in this version of patch), multiple clean wipes and installs of the rom and a310 patch ( tried clearing data/cache/dalvik-cache/system separately even up to 3 times each separately and also in one go using twrp 3.0.2.0 and then installing the rom and even tried clearing dalvik-cache again after rom and patch flashing before rebooting the system), switching cpu governors, adding ro.sf.hwrotation=360 line in build.prop, etc etc. All those efforts in vain. Nothing worked. :mad:

From what I've seen, it seems to be a problem with mainly a310 users. The only thing I've not tried is flashing the ARISE Dirac sound patch(128 MB) from a XDA post. However I don't think it could help. But I'll try nonetheless. If these problems aren't solved soon, I'm probably going back to stock rom after trying aex lite/viperos/lineageos marshmallow. I'll not try miui as user comments seems to indicate these problems persist there too for a310 users. :rolleyes:

And yeah, I've already tried RidonOS. These problems were still there. I switched backed to RR cause atleast I had options to switch to battery saving governors even though it killed the fun of playing a nougat rom. I mean if I have to kill cool features of the rom itself for optimising it then what's the point of using it!? :eek:

I know you devs work harder than anyone else so that even others may be able to enjoy, and I thank you all very much for that :good:. But if you want to classify or state a rom as STABLE and BUGLESS, then I think that's a little bit far to say if such problems still persist and are repeatedly reported about. For a final build it sure has a lot of thing still to fix.

This aside, thanks again for a nougat rom :good: . I don't have any money now so all I could donate you is a thanks. A very good job for giving us nougat rom to play with :laugh: . Although I don't have much hope at all for a fix/reply from anyone, if I could get one that would fix these issues, I'll exclaim in joy for that. :fingers-crossed:
