Hi guys, I recently just rooted my SGS3 and I am experiencing some problems and have some questions to ask, I've tried my best to search for similar topics but they mostly didn't have a solution.
I am currently using SlimBean Build 5 & 020513-0832-cm10.1-i9300-linux3076-LINARO-temasek kernel
1) After I rooted my S3 and installed SlimBean, when I try to charge my S3 turned off, it is stuck at the processing screen and the LED doesn't light up. So how do I fix this?

}
2) My current RAM usage is usually around 400MB+ (excluding cached apps), even with the recent apps completely cleared off. I've checked the Running Apps in the Settings and the numbers just don't add up. Any idea what might be causing this high RAM usage? (If I wanted this kind of high RAM usage, I would have stuck with stock TouchWiz ROM)
3) Considering I'm using SlimBean and Temasek Kernel, what Governer & I/O scheduler combo would you recommend for a balance between battery and performance? I am currently using Pegasusq & DEADLINE (with my current settings, less than 5 mins of using the phone just to scroll around would decrease the battery percentage by 1%) or are there any other kernels that would out perform the Temasek Kernel?
4) Because I've been experiencing some slight stuttering, I OCed my S3 to 1.5GHz, is it actually helping because I definetely still experience some slight stuttering or does it just cause battery drain and unnecessary heating up.
5) Do settings that I set using Trickster Mod and Slim Settings affect phone performance (battery drain, heating up, high RAM usage, etc)? E.g Digital Noise Reduction Control/High Dynamic Range Control/Digital Edge Enchancement Control and in Slim Settings mDNle Scenarios.
EDIT: New Questions
6) Here are some screenshots of 1. SlimBean's Performance settings 2. Trickster Mod 3.STweaks
As you can see, even thou the settings in SlimBean say that zRAM is enabled, it doesn't in TricksterMod and STweaks.
Also, same thing for I/O scheduler, 1. SlimBean Performance and 2.STweaks
So which settings do I use/follow?
1. It is normal, the screen will be in dark momentarily. Try long press power button 2 or 3 times to boot up , if it doesn't, wait for screen goes dark and then long press power button. or better yet, unplug charger !
2. That could be various reasons, for example some apps would have cached process which isn't running but loaded in RAM, also some RAM is occupied by necessary and essential Android System Process. It's natural of Android, and as Android has different kinda memory management that unlike windows, don't mind it, let it do its job.
3. Don't ask questions like that, such subject is forbidden in XDA for "what's best ", try for yourself.
4. can't say, consider the difference between android and iOS, you may still feel "stutter" even you overclock up to 3 Ghz. It is natural of Android, can't really help, but I would suggest you stay with 1.4, some system tweak and nice kernel with good configuration will diminish 99% of non-necessary "stutter ", again, don't ask which ones, you have to try for yourself.
5. Absolutely! Such setting is crucial!
Be careful of it if you don't what does any option mean!

Thanks for answering
1) Yeah, there's no problem with it other than the charging animation not working (Boots up fine), it's just gets stuck there, even while it fades away, when I press the home button, it still just shows this exact screen.
3) Not really a matter of "what's best", just what are the usual settings people use with this ROM & Kernal combination to prevent excessive battery drain and such.

Then you have to read the relevant rom and kernel threads as no such settings are posted on XDA .

That's exactly the point, each kernel, ROM has countless users who like it, and some peopke stick with one ROM or kernel in particular, but some people, like me, are keep moving around from one to another, so you ask 100 people here you will here 100 different answer,
Just try of them, you will know

there is an app called android tweaker.. try it and undervolt your cpu.. use less brightness
actually there are some roms dedicated for battery life..
Posted a new question
use any ONE app for tweaking, stweaks is better
and if you need RAM, as i mentioned above use android tweaker, it has everything
battery life tweaks, audio, screen, ram managing, and many other cool mods like BE2..
and there is no problem if you use slim settings, but trickster and stweaks depends upon on kernel

Can I use Pimp My ROM instead? I see they have almost similar features and Pimp My ROM is free. Also can it fully replace STweaks or do I leave that installed?
yeah.. i forgot about pimp my rom, you can use that..
yeah sure,you can just leave the stweaks installed

I just had to reboot after the phone wouldnt wake from deep sleep, only had the kernel in for about ten min. It seemed pretty smooth though, I'll keep an eye on this one for a while.
Cheers OP for the new kernel dev.
After flashing this kernel, I'm having serious wake issues. If my display is off for any longer than a minute, i am unable to wake the device. Also, while my device was idle, i saw battery drop from 45% to 16% over the course of 15 minutes or so. While the device is being used, performance and battery are the best I've seen [so far] in any of the long list of kernels i've run.

Doesn't happen to me often but I sometimes have to press more than once (power/home) in order to wake up from deep sleep. Happens like 3 times a day but never takes more than 5 seconds. Since it's the first version I still have to smooth out some edges but so far I'm happy with the apparent results.
However, I'm going to include a known issues section with this.
P.S. Thanks for the feedback on bold, it's always nice to hear.

I was trying to wake the phone for about a min or so before rebooting, Ive had the same issue a couple of times with other kernels but they have come right like you said, after a few attempts. But i agree with the guy a couple of posts up, when i was using the phone it was very smooth, didnt have the crazy drain he had though which is good.
I've been using it for 2 days and no drain either. Smooth as butter.
Indeed, the main issue I've found is the annoying resistant deep sleep but never had to reboot it. Just as precaution I already added it to the main post. Oh, and an issue on the photo preview (not gallery) but I wasn't sure if it was a kernel or ROM problem.
Great to see you already pulled the trigger!
You are aiming for a killer kernel, and I'll be following this thread closely.
How stable/safe is this first alpha version?

Ill watch out for that one, Ive gone back to a pervious kernel while im at work, kinda need the phone to wake, but i will definitly try this one again when im home.
Thanks again.
pretty curious to see how it will compare to others once polished up and refined... I'll stay tuned
Keep up the Good work, dev!!

yeah right mr. know-it-all. i may be not a dev but atleast i know what i'm talking about.
btw op, that app is really straightforward, only to adjust android native autokiller value. theres already preset value to choose from.

So do I need to change my values or leave it as it is?
I charged my phone to 100% (Full Charged) and now it's 50%, is AutoKiller Memory Optimizer running in the background using more battery?
I'm using JuiceDefender Ultimate with Extreme profile
the default value is the one that andoid use by default, set in the kernel.
if u adjust it, it can bring effects of more ram and maybe less multitask as android will contantly killing background app/process. its a trade off between more free ram and multitask.
worth thing to note, u shouldn't treat android as windows. not all app/process running in background can drain battery/resource. android works way different than windows. closed app wont be killed instantly, it'll be stored in ram so when u reopen it again it would be faster to launch. the value as showed in the app is what android use to determine which app/process to kills and what process/apps to leave.
if u feels the app drains your battery then dont use it, let android do its own process killing its own way.

So the values shown in AutoKiller Memory Optimizer is the same as Android values, if I leave them as default I should rather let Android do them itself?
P.S - Sometimes I check how much RAM I have left and it says 50MB, so some apps are running in the background using battery?

exactly.
Hah! I thought it was just another task killer, my bad, sorry. Though i still think that you shouldn't use it, if you don't know what you're doing... I really can't see how it would make anything better, in hands of a person who doesn't understand it.
But as i understand it, the app shouldn't be running on the background. So you've just inputted some wrong values, which make the battery drain faster.
Edit: And juicedefender also might have an affect, as there's also some kind of memory tweaks? So at least delete one of the apps.

Even if they're on the background, it doesn't mean that they would use any battery. It's the cpu usage that matters in android, not ram.
When I look at the processes that is running, Facebook, Google Play Store and PowerAMP is always running using RAM, so it will drain battery as well?
P.S - When does Android automatically closes apps?

If those apps are using cpu, then they will drain battery. If they are NOT using CPU, then they are NOT draining battery.
Android closes apps automatically, when more ram is needed, simple as that.

Things about ram:
When android needs to free up RAM to launch a process it will use CPU, which will use battery. So if most RAM is already occupied, and you launch a heavy app (like a 3d game) it will take longer to launch and at first it will be laggy while the system frees up the necessary RAM. This will also use more battery than having already free RAM.
Autokiller:
Its great. It tweaks the default values of android's native task killer. Depending on which apps you use the most, you can change how much free RAM you want to have. This is useful cuz even apps you use once a month will remain in RAM as long as there is RAM available, so by raising the free RAM values you can make sure only apps you use the most stay in RAM.
Tradeoff:
If the free RAM value is too high, you won't be able to multitask well, and also the system will be constantly freeing up RAM which uses more battery. If it is too low, almost all apps will remain in memory, meaning the system will work extra when launching new apps, which will use more battery.
Autokiller allows you to personalize the system's native task killer, there isn't a thing like best values. It depends on your use. If anything, leave the default values and nothing will change. Be sure to read the documentation on how it works, there is plenty.
Hi everybody from tapatalk. Recently I have installed the last Nightly Builds from cyanogenmod9, and when i unlock the screen, automaticaly the screen turn on aigan! I have testet all of options on settings, and I found nothing about it.
Someone know the solution?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
same here, and when i dial a no. the phone restarts....this was my first try...n m highly disappointed...i think cynagon is just an over hyped mod n nothing more than tha....
without codeworkx and his team's work you wont have ANY aosp roms
did you undervolt or chagned cpu settings?
or maybe its a app u installed thats overloading the phone
one more thing
cm9 is in nightly phase you cant complain on that
edit: looks like a recent patched messed the build
it is due a fix in time
I tried custom roms for the 1st time yesterday and have to add I am a bit disapointed in CM9. Utmost respect to the creators and the effort they are putting into this.
Here is my list of Issues.
1. No task manager
2. No file explorer (IO on the Play store is ok but not close to the original with works best)
3. Contacts look a bit meh
4. No sliding on contacts
5. No Samsung Dive support
6. The kb is way to small and with my big hands i keep on pressing the wrong keys
7. When I phoned myself from a other number there was no voice coming through on either end
8. .... Uninstalled
There are still a lot of work needed on CM9 from what I could tell and using the latest Nightly build was probably not the right thing to do. Nightly build was from yesterday.
This is in no way to reflect negatively on anyone but just my person opinion and what I experienced
Your personal opinion is bit flawed....
Forget about Samsung stuff and way things work In aosp.
So slide to call that's touch wiz.
Keyboard is Android, not cm9 scad works pretty well you have to get use to it.
If it was your first time flashing than I say please do a full wipe, including formatting system.
Cm9 is very capable of daily driver without any major issues.
Don't get me wrong. It looks awesome. And its very quick and stable from what i could see.
Thats just my personal preference. No point in being rooted if you cant get to the files. CM9 with the default File Explorer would have made it a very different story for me. Task manager is also somewhat a very nice to have cause I install and uninstall a lot of apps on a daily basis and without it is just meh.
It all boils down to personal preference.
left touchwiz for months and dont miss it at all

Contacts look just fine and work just fine.
You have ics task manager
File explorer is not bulletin in aosp, just put one that you use.
Calling and receiving works just fine too.
You certainly have issues with the flash, reflash after full wipe
Full wipe = format cache, data, system, internal storage, dalvik
Try another ROM
There are tons of different ROMs out there. I've tried all sorts but never a CM9 nightly because they warn you it might be broken and tell you not to complain about it.
Try something else and download a decent task manager. A lot of ROMs have one built in but I always revert to ES File Explorer.
It's all about testing and finding out what's right for you. You can always go back to TouchWiz if you want.

use set cpu
there is a voltage menu
use the values from kernel test thread
for the phone issue wipe the data from contacts and dialer
You'd receive better support if you posted your query to the CM9 Discussion thread. ;p

CM9 and Boot Animation Sounds
Has anyone found a way to enable boot animation sounds on cyanogenmod9? I have read everything I can and have tried everything I have read but still cannot get this to work.
cm9 wallpapers
hi guys!
i'm using cm9 stable and i think is very smooth and fast and looks good too.
i have a question.
i want to remove the static wallpaper, not the live w. or cm9 wallpaper, but the stock wallpapers in 4.0.4 firmware.
but i can't find them using RootExplorer or TB.
can someone help me to find out?
thanks a lot
I've flashed CM9 on my S2 & its very stable & I seem to like almost everything EXCEPT Battery.
It discharges very fast. I end up charging daily.
I browse internet on wifi like for about an hour in a day & the rest of the time I explore the phone settings/features for a couple of minutes.
Voice calls - about 30-45min a day.

How to use the CPU voltage settings ?
How do I know which one is best for my phone ?
The Governers seem to be self explanatory & also when choosing a governer from the menu the CPU Max/min changes accordingly.
But I would like to know the technical details.

EXTEND YOUR BATTERY LIFE
REQUIREMENTS
Most importantly your phone
init.d support (startup scripts during the boot)
file editor like root explorer
root access, busybox (rooted phone)
what's in init.d scripts?
4.1 cpufreq_governor
21cpufreq_governor script sets the governor that contorls the CPU's thresholds and sampling_rates
4.2 cpufreq_screenstate_scaling
31cpufreq_screenstate_scaling script defines the governor values and decides the actions based on the phone's state - conservative, ondeman, lazy, awake, sleep modes. I've changed lots of values from Calk's original script to save more battery power thru this script. As indicated in Calk's original thread for FD02, this script would not run if you have already installed some CPU control apps something like OC Widget, Quick Clock, SETCPU, and Android OC.
4.3 tweaks_GAURAV
41tweaks_kobridge script has almost everything in it to improve the network speed, sdcard tweaks, other battery saving tweaks, VM management, Kernel, wifi tweaks, etc. For some of the values in here, there are some overlaps with build.prop tweaks. So, if you do not apply the tweaks to the build.prop file, many tweaks would still work.
4.4 zipalign
zipalign is an archive alignment tool introduced first time with 1.6 Android SDK (software development kit). It optimizes the way an Android application package (APK) is packaged. Doing so enables the Android operating system to interact with the application more efficiently, and hence has the potential to make the application and overall the whole system much faster. Execution time is minimized for zipaligned applications, resulting is lesser amount of RAM consumption when running the APK.
If less number of applications with an unaligned home application, you’d see slower application launch times. This is the best case scenario. For a worst case scenario, having a number of unaligned applications will result in the system repeatedly starting and killing processes, struggling with lags and huge battery drain.
4.5 Wifi Sleep Wait timer
What this tweak does is, it controls the time until wifi sleeps after the screen turned off. By default, it's 15 minutes. So, even you turned off the screen, by default, phone will wait for 15 minutes and then turn off the wifi. By using this tweak, you will have the control over wifi idle time until wifi sleeps.
I HAVE FLASH THE ZIP BUT YET I DON'T SEE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN MY BATTERY LIFE (HERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN REALLY HELP YOU)
IN THIS PROCESS YOUR PHONE NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO CHARGER
1) CHARGE YOUR PHONE FULLY
2) GO TO DATA/SYSTEM DELETE BATTERY STATS.BIN
3) NOW REBOOT YOUR PHONE (YOUR PHONE SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO CHARGER WHILE REBOT)
MORE
DOWNLOAD THE GREENIFY/TITANIUM BACKUP FREEZE THE APP LIKE WHATS APP BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP
(To any visitors to this thread,
Please Rate this thread based on your reading and tweaks that I provided. If the rate is too low, that means I'm doing a bad job in here! If the rate goes down below 4 stars, I'll stop providing these tweaks! So, please excuse me. Please don't rate this thread with the only reason that I do not provide the tweaks for your rom, which you are using! I'm using my own time for this just like lots of other users. Only the thing that makes me more happy and get focused on this would be your rates and 'thanks' on this thread)

So if i use this, performance will be decreased?

Especially useful in kk roms , which ruin your battery life.

Hi.sorry for my newbie question and my English
1-how do I know my phone supports init.d.I googled it and figured out that most custom kernels do.Just wanted to be sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635585
this is the Rom I'm going to install.
2-And how much will be the battery drain after this?when the screen is off
Perfect Battery Charging
To get the puniest effect from your device battery, you must follow one rule says
“Charge your battery up to 100% only and after that, restart your Smartphone once to release all the resources back to the Android OS; Whereas, don’t plug your device for charging until it shows battery low message.”
If you follow this rule, then your battery life will be longer for sure! Try it out and see the difference.
Use the battery saving GPS feature

Android’s default GPS feature is useful if you use a lot of location tracking apps – like Google Maps or business finding apps. Thankfully, Google realized that GPS wasn’t very battery efficient, which is why they created a GPS mode that uses less battery life and implemented it into Android 4.4.
This battery saving GPS mode won’t completely take away your location-finding features, but it will use fewer reference points to find your location.
In all likelihood, your location will still be fairly accurate, just not as accurate or as quick-to-respond as the default GPS mode. To enable this mode in Android 4.4 KitKat, go to Settings > Location > Mode and then check the box beside Battery Saving.
If you’re in a situation where you need very precise map tracking, then you can easily disable this mode. Until then, enjoy your longer battery life.
"Not OK, Google"
On the one hand, be thankful your phone is such a good listener. On the other hand, it's not worth killing your battery life.
Thanks to the new, persistent Hotword detection, you can say "OK, Google" from any home screen (or within Google Now) to prompt Google Search and Voice Actions. That means, however, that your phone is always listening, waiting for you to say those magic words.

3.Discharge Your Mobile To 0% Once In A Month
4.Use Cache Cleaner
5.Use a Memory Manager
6.Kill Apps When Unused

11.Recommended NOVA LAUNCHER
If you turn sync off you don't receive e-mail notifications.Using different charger won't break the battery it's just gonna charge your phone way too slower than its original charger.If you don't root your android phone, what's the point of using an android phone, just buy an iPhone.Memory managers don't work, they use ram and always run in background.Most of the time they don't even clear the ram.Battery manager apps are useless.They always run in background and use ram like memory managers.I don't believe that they help with battery life.If you want your phone's battery lasts longer in daily usage; Things you can do : Lower the brightness (not auto), turn sync off (if you don't use e-mail), wi-fi definitely off if not used, turn power saving mode on (at least tick cpu option). and of course gps/bt always off.
Apart from phone's settings things you can do : Putting your phone in airplane mode when you're going to bed (you don't have to use an auto app for this, remember they use ram), after putting your phone in airplane mode set its CPU frequency to something like 500-600 MHz.You don't need your phone to be fast while you're sleeping.
And definitely root your phone.Removing useless samsung apps and changing them with better apps that do the same work with less usage of the hardware will definitely speed up your phone.You're not just gonna remove some apps, if rooted, you should block apps that run at boot (except fb,whatsapp,foursquare etc. if you wanna get notification).
And no 3rd party apps that affects your UI completely (like launchers, lockscreens).Changing your launcher won't speed up your phone since it's based on touchwiz it's always gonna be a little bit slow in terms of waking up especially.They're just gonna use your ram and always run in background.
Anyway, this is how i use my phone.It lasts more than 2 days if I just use it for messaging, calling and mild internet use.But of course if you're gaming (i do) nothing's gonna stop it from draining Max 8 hours (which is actually good for this phone)
Nova launcher is better Dan most of d launchers out der and Memory managers really work for me ! And rooting ur phone would be like taking a step to destroying ur phone and I also don't see any point in rooting dis phone .... I have everything I want ! And Derz not much custom rom available so u wud haveta root only for using some root apps ! And dats a very big reply
And Bro Different charger really affects d battery as d pins differ and it will reduce d life of d battery

Isn't frequency scalable? (I thought this happens without the 3rd party apps...?). As I understand, the CPU goes to lower frequency mode automatically, since this is probably a kernel feature. Why do u need to set it specifically every night?
