Battery Drain in Deep Sleep with Stock JB 4.1.2!

Thats right
this rom is amazing but there is ONE big problem and that is Battery Drain while the phone is in deep sleep!
you allways gets around 80% deep sleep and 20% at 200mhz CPU usage.
i have found what causes it and there is two apps running that eats power.
1: Maps
2: Samsung Push Service

}
The easiest way is just to do a Force Stop on both then the problem is gone.
but i have not found what settings to use to stop them from running in deep sleep.
maybe someone can figure it out?
i want Google Maps but not Samsung Push Service
just killing Google Maps every time isnt right

Would autostarts work?
This post was pulled out of my arse.

Yeah me too facing the same thiing its mostly on 200mhz and the battery is dieing like hell
Edit i used titanium backup and froze both the apps

Hmm my battery life for today kinda idle usage but I tried with power saver mode on no visible decrease in performance too

Actually I don't get the Samsung one on mine only maps

i have done some more testing but im not 100% sure what causes the drain.
it has nothing to do with Samsung Push Service that for sure.
i use Better Battery Stats instead of CPUSpy to see more details and the only app that woke up the phone was maps.
but only if Google Now was on
i think its has something to do with Google Now and "Location and Google search" under Location Services
something bugs it out.
just disable Google Now and untick "Location and Google search" and restart the phone
then you should have your deep sleep at 90% or more
now its cool
this is just 2minutes so the % will rise for a longer time..didnt have time to test longer
you should not have any alarm for the MAPS here
i had two of them before
this one is still there but causes no problem
Set Google Now to OFF and untick Location and Google search and restart
i hope they fix this
you shouldnt disable apps to get decent battery life

where is the google now settings to turn it off?

I have the push service frozen. I used autostarts on Maps and disabled it every place I found it. Everything location based still works fine, course and fine. The only bad thing is that once you use the Maps app, you have to go and kill it and kill it out of the cache and make sure its done quick enough that it doesn't respawn. I'll be really happy when holding down the back button kills it entirely. It might be worth making a widget for that now that I think of it. Also, as posted, turning off Google Now is needed since it opens Maps (I think; its been a while since I trialled it).

It's a test version, it's for test purposes, if you decide to use it as your daily rom you must accept it's issues.
So, IMO this topic seems useless to me, a new version will be launched in a while.

Its not worthless. This helps people isolate what causes the drain and perhaps come up with ways to fix it.

new version of this leak?are you saying?

Have the same problem with deepsleep. I'm using original stock odexed rom and battery drain in deep sleep is around 1% per hour which is too much. On my previous rom I've used - MIUI ICS it was around 1% per 8 hours! This is a big difference and something is wrong with it. What's strange on this situation is that CPU spy shows 99% in deepsleep overnight, therefore there should be no big drain. Has anybody encoutered such problems? Just check the battery level when you go sleep and check in the morning by how many % it droppped... Besides this, the rom is almost perfect. Very smooth and stable.
UPDATE: After turning location services off, the battery in deep sleep is superb. No drain anymore. Not sure if it is because of that but now it works great. The best rom ever, even in beta stage! Looking forward for official.

This may be harder on Touchwiz since it apparently doesn't support shortcuts. Its worth looking into I suppose; I haven't any experience with Touchwiz apart from deciding I want to use another launcer. I use nova launcher which works well, others would be fine but my best experience is with Nova and Apex. Both should suffice.
For maps, I've disabled it everywhere in autostarts, then for using it and killing it on exit, so that it doesn't run as a service persistantly, I've used Smanager and Swidgets (you need both installed or another app that will run a shell script) to create a script that kills maps when it isn't the foremost app displayed. Note that this kills maps if you try to background it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.smwidgets&feature=more_from_developer
Credits to this post; and most likely someone will bother to make a better solution that doesn't kill it when its backgrounded, with the info given there. As you can see, I didn't bother trying out the kill process the way it's layed out in the post but just freeze and unfreeze maps instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30175170&postcount=3
I didn't bother messing around all that much and take note that you could just as easily have smanager automatically freeze maps on startup and not worry about autostarts. In any case, the script just unfreezes maps, checks every 2 seconds to see if its running as the foreground displayed app, and if not, freezes it. As such, you lose your maps icon and need to get an icon or icon pack with maps on it to use for your widget.
The script is as follows:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
pm enable com.google.android.apps.maps
am start com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity >/dev/null
while [ "`dumpsys activity top | grep '^TASK.*' | cut -d ' ' -f2`" = "com.google.android.apps.maps" ] ; do
sleep 2
done
pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps
Copy and paste the above to somewhere on your sdcard. It can run on the FAT filesystem with the given app. Other approaces would just need the interpreter to call the app (sh or bash if you have it installed), and that might work.. if not then putting it on the /data filesystem would be fine since its ext4 but it'll be gone when wiping data for an upgrade.
Pretty basic after reading the linked post.
pm enable: Unfreezes maps in the case that it is.
am start: Starts maps.
while, sleep, done: Checks every 2 seconds for Maps being in the foreground.
pm disable: Freezes maps app.
Much room for improvement but it suits me really well.
For Smanager and Swidgets, open Smanager, select root if needed, allow root, navigate to script (save it with a .sh file extension when pasting, though not sure if this is needed or not), tap on script, select little root icon so it runs as root, select "is script" if not already selected. exit Smanager but don't kill it. It will want to run as a cached process for starting it on boot, if you kill it on some point just open and close the app again.
Select to add a shortcut in launcher, choose SMshortcuts, select the script. Don't bother giving it a custom icon; best to do it in the custom launcher since it doesn't seem to scale the default one correctly I'm assuming it might not scale one you give it correctly.
Done.
If you wanted to use Smanager (or an alternative app, init.d script assuming it works on this rom, etc) to just freeze maps at startup and not wory about apps like autostart or Gemin, you'de just use:
pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps
That should remain frozen on a reboot, so ideally you'de want to test first to see if its already frozen or it would exit with an error but this might not be a bother for many people.

[ROM] [SGH-I757M only] Paranoid Android

Paranoid Android (Jelly Bean) for Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
This is a fairly new ROM built from the Paranoid Android 2+ source code.
I do not develop this ROM nor do I provide support for it.
I felt that we needed a new topic to talk about this PAndroid ROM as the CM10 topic was getting pretty hefty and unorganized.
Since the development for this ROM is new, don't expect it to be as stable as CM9. Check "What Doesn't Work" for a list of what's broken!
If you still don't know what ClockWorkMod Recovery or Paranoid Android is, Google it or search XDA.
WARNING! Do not flash this to a different device model from the one it's meant for. It will not work with the other Galaxy S2 iterations, so don't try it with the Bell Galaxy S2 I9100M (non-HD). DO NOT flash it on the Asian variant of the GS2 HD (SHV-E120) either, as it uses slightly different internal hardware - the ROM will be unstable and the phone component will not work. If you are sure you have the CANADIAN Bell Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M), you may continue.

Flashing The Recovery Menu
Do you have the stock recovery menu installed? If so, move to step two. If you already have CWM installed, move to "Flashing Paranoid Android"
Download Odin from here: bit.ly/WXpnCN AND download CWM Recovery here: bit.ly/WXpfDA
Start your SGH-i757m in 'Download Mode' (Shut off device. Hold the Volume Down key while powering the phone on. The device will vibrate and soon you will see a Warning screen, where you will need to press Volume Up to enter Download mode.)
While in Download Mode, start up Odin and connect your phone to the PC via USB. You should see a status message in Odin saying your device was "added".
In Odin, press the 'BOOTLOADER' button and select the CWM TAR file you downloaded from step two.
In Odin, press Start. Once Odin is done it should say "PASS". If it doesn't finish or is stuck, try re-downloading the recovery file.
Your device will reboot.
Flashing Paranoid Android
Download the latest version of PAndroid from Socim's Dev-Host: bit.ly/WK042w AND G-Apps from: bit.ly/117KEsZ
Place both *.zip files on your Micro-SD card. Do NOT Extract Them!
Start your phone into CWM Recovery mode. To accomplish this hold down the Power Button to turn the phone on, and then immediately hold down Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time. Let go of the buttons at the exact moment you see the "Samsung" Logo.
Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
Then choose "Install Zip" then "Chose Zip From External SDCard" and select the PAndroid version you downloaded in step one. Do this TWICE just to be sure.
Next flash the G-Apps file you downloaded from step one the same way.
OPTIONAL: If you need to install the Stock Bell ICS Modem, now would be the time to do it. You can get it from dsixda's Dev-Host: http://bit.ly/Wu4SJe
Reboot your device.
What Doesn't Work
Some GUI elements (ie. Youtube Controls) become hidden behind content
Some camera apps display as unintended (ie. Instagram)
No touch-to-focus for camera. Regular focus does work though
"Random" crashes
Sources and Acknowledgements
Huge thanks to Socim for getting the ball rolling on this device again! bit.ly/Vc3j7d
Also, I based most of my instructions off of dsixda's posts. bit.ly/UavsHn
And to the community for not letting this amazing phone go to waste!

thank you so much for the ROM. A quick question though, the white flash at my hardware keys (navigation bar) remain always on. I think the light should only be activated on use.

I suppose it because I set touchkey autobrightness to true in framework config, so you guys who doesn't turned on autobrightness will encounter this.

Home and Search buttons don't work
ROM looks good so far, just flashed this morning. Only issue I have noticed is the home and search buttons don't work.
[UPDATE]
I reinstalled and looks like something that loaded when I restored with Titanium backup caused the home button issues. Everything looks good now.

No problem! Really gave me time to truly get used to the post editor! :laugh:

Is this rom still being worked on? I have a t989d and the jb roms for it are amazingly stable and still being improved. Would love to see a jb rom for this phone become a stable daily driver.
Gonna flash this either way and check it out!

Working Good here. Great work!!!
The phablet mode 600px with a defualt DPI of 290 works great and looks great for most apps! Some may need individual adjustment. The only app that will need adjustment after reboot is the launcher. This is what you do.
You head into paranoid settings,
hit the Apps button on the left.
Then choose Trebuchet and adjust the DPI to exactly 228. Hit Apply.
This makes everything look right again. In both the drawer and on the home screen. Otherwise your apps in drawer will not fill the screen properly, and icons start looking to small. On the home screen, for some reason if you have 5 coloumns or less, you lose your last two icons on your launcher. You will also need to do the following.
head into the launcher settings,
click home screen.
Adjust the rows to your choice.
But the coloumns need to be 6 or more.
While you are in there you will also want to
enable Resize any widget
and disable wallpaper scrolling.
I also changed alot of my dpi for other individual apps, making things look even better. This rom has made my phone work and look more awesome than it was ever destined to be! Thanks to everyones continued efforts on this phone.
Only issues I have are backlight keys sometimes do not want to come back on when you unlock phone. They do come back on later tho, never really timed it. Also andom reboots. Maybe like one or two a day.
Also I should mention DO NOT install the latest gapps
gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
I installed it and it broke my keyboard. If you just gotta try it..... then make sure you have a nand backup done first.

To get the backlights to come on just adjust your screen brightness...lights come on, for me anyway. I have the slider in notification bar so it's not a big deal.

I tried it for a few minutes and half way through restoring the apps and settings, the phone got extremely hot. So now I'm back to CM10, but if anyone knows what's wrong, I'd love to try it out again.

I suggest not restoring your apps and settings using Google's wizard. Sometimes it breaks a lot. Instead, just restore your apps manually using the Play Store OR a previous Titanium Backup.

When we got Android 4.2 we will need it.

Hey guys just an update on my phones experience. The rom is pretty stable for me as well. However I have had a few sudden reboots and system ui crashes. As well the latest gapps do not work correctly for me for some reason so I flashed the gapps from cm9 and that works.
The sudden reboots happen mainly when watching a video or changing wallpapers and the system ui crashes out of no where.
Now I have wiped cashed partition and delvik cach which solves the above mentioned two issues it for awhile but continues again. As well re flashing the PA rom from Nov 22.

Actually that's what I always do. At first, I let the Play Store downloads all the apps again, and then I restore the user apps data using Titanium Backup. This way, I don't have to tap "Install" for every fricking app. But it got so hot in the middle of downloading the apps, that I kinda freaked out and got back to CM10. It may be related to the settings and configuration connected to my Google account. I'll try again without entering my user name and password at the start and see how it goes.

I ran the ROM for the better part of 16 hrs (workday testbed) other than the play store crashing here and there, I had no issues, I was very impressed. I noticed the benchmark scores were low but if anything we know they're nothing more than a number in most cases. I did have the same heating up issue with heavy file transfers but honestly couldn't give you a value of PA vs dsixda's ICS rom. Performance "felt" much smoother and more fluid. Gallery, lights and what not worked like a charm.
PA question - Where do I turn on display battery %? I'm going to run it another day with all my automated & battery apps running, see how battery life is.
Thanks for the dev on the ROM guys, really gave new life to the device. I was seriously debating axing it for another, at my own expense since its a work phone.

Everything except for the Paranoid settings, adjusts the same way as CM10. You can find the option for battery % under System Settings/system/Status Bar.
I forgot to mention one thing that had caused me issues. When I installed PANov23 I had high useage on the app named "media". I killed it have not had a problem since. I also prefer the noop or deadline scheduler and have heard that the CFQ scheduler can sometimes take some time to scan your sdcard causing high CPU useage upon bootup. I also recommend spending the money on the PRO version of Titanium Backup. If you are a frequent Flasher, and not a dirty flasher, then you SHOULD have a paid copy of this app!!
I also use GSam Battery Monitor to watch what eats my battery. Its like Better Battery Stats, but more robust. Check it out.

Should have mentioned I've never been a CM10 user. I started off with Android only very recently with an S3 first and the dev wasn't there for a daily driver, then I swapped that in for a Note 2, so again, little dev atm. And then i757, so again, even less dev.

XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware Change Log

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

I want to flash this firmware, but can it be rooted?

Since I've rooted my Camera with Exynos Abuse, it says it is non-standard and refuses to tell me about any updates. Do I need to back out everything before it will notice the update? Does the abuse hole still exist after the update?

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.

Is French language included in this firmware ?
Thx

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.

Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...

I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed

There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

I don't have the galaxy camera, but the RAM amount can indeed change (The S3 had 7xxMB with ICS and now has 8XXMB in JB)

Ah, OK. In that case the total I have is 755Mb since the update.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!

Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.

maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.

Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching

To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it

Try aspire c9 rom..i didnt lose focus while navigating on the second screen..example, playing video on 1st screen, then navigate to other apps like file manager on the 2nd screen, the video on 1st screen does not stop nor paused..i experience that it stopped on aosp based roms.

I dont know about that..but could you test App cloner apk and give feedback..i also wonder if its work or not..

I just want the apps in splitscreen without interruptions
I installed LineageOS 14.1 on my moto G2. I like using one more app at the same time. The thing is, when I play a video, or even play a game in one screen and just tap on the other app, the game or video will pause.
An apparent workaround I found out for this is to tap on the video app or game, and without letting go use the other app, so that you interact with two apps at the same time, making Android keep both focused/active.
So I went over to Xpodes repo, and tried to look up a module that would make Android think both apps are active, I suppose even though it seems both apps are running the same timewhen in split mode, I'm afraid Android just puts an overiay on the inactive app just to look normal.
Aspire C9 ROM was suggested in this thread, but it's a Samsung-only ROm. So I'll do my research for that ROM or other for my phone. If any of you has found out a more comfortable workaround than the one I described please do let me know. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for cemmenting here. Didn't notice this was a Samsung thread, discussing the issue on Touchwiz ROMs. I just saw it above this thread title when I came back to read your reply. I wrote in here because I've been googling this issue for a solution since this Friday, but haven´t even found almost any solution but just explanations why that happens. I figured out myself the workaround I described in my previous post.

hi if you have xposed framework installed you can install the multiwindow module skyolinhelper it lets you open as many active multi windowed apps as you like simultaneously.

im not sure which versions of android xposed framework works smoothly with these days but i am using ultimate rom on my samsung galaxy note 3 which is kitkat 4.4.2 and skyolinhelper and its version of multi window works perfect. ive tried skyolinhelper with lollipop and i could only put about 20 apps available for opening in multi window mode with android 4.4.2 all my apps are available to open in multi window and i can open several apps and move them and use them together freely.
