[ROM][4.1.1][B209] AOSP MOD [28/02/2015]

[Guest Romagnolo1973]

I report here because can be usefull:

some italian users with the famous and misterious lag problem with aosp solved uninstalling Performance Control and using Trickstermod instead

Probably Performance Control goes in conflict with another app they use

So, if happens, the first thing to do is uninstall Performance Control (that is not included in the rom but everyone use to set kernel values)

Hi H3ROS, your stock rom is the best i've had but it has some problems with vpn clients(Cyberghost, hotspot shield, spotflux...) they simply won't connect... they used to work fine in the Expert V4 Final(cm 10.1 - 4.2.2). what can i do?

i'm using your lastest rom, thanks :)

sorry 4 the bad english.

[Guest H3ROS]

I can only guess that the hosts files blocking them for some reason. Download AdAway (google it) and disable adblocking to see if that helps.

[Guest Dave91]

Disabled AdAway, The Firewall and still the same =\

[Guest Domstadt]

Such a great rom!

Screen-on-time of 4h most of the time and fast as f*ck!

 

Too bad I'm getting a Moto G LTE or a LG G2 Mini soon. I'm gonna miss this rom a bit :D

[Guest krux3r]

Guys does anyone experiences long exiting out of apps? Im experiencinf that a few last days, someone knows whats the problem?

Low RAM available or high CPU usage

@fonz93

I have about 90mb free ram, is that good or bad? And how do I check cpu usage?

[Guest SIMONPRO]

is there a way to flash stock dialer and message app. I dont know how android guys where thinking, its is to hard to differentiate between read and unread message color different is too close and conversation area is the same just one color for sent and receive messages its bad. if there is way to flash stock dialer and message app it will be great

I'll check it out soon. It should work though if it's ever worked from a stock ROM.

Apps shouldn't lag when closed. It's when opening other apps that it might be slow as it's clearing memory in the background. So do you have any apps running in the background, like Facebook, Skype or any kind of anti virus?

I've never really had a problem with read and unread messages. Unread messages are bold with a white background and they're always at the top of the list. There's also a notification that'll tell you how many new messages a person sent. Also if you switch to the dark theme then the text colour is white and each area has a different background colour.

 

There's actually many other messaging apps you could use. All you need to do is disable the stock one in the apps list.

The dialer can be changed too.

Of course I can give you the stock apps, but IMO there's better alternatives than the Huawei bloat.

[Guest krux3r]

@H3ROS

I have few my apps running in bg, and usually google services:

[Guest xxirioxx]

I disabled some google play services using "Disable Service" app but does anyone know why AnalyticsService automatically reactivates 1-2 days later? Now it's running again... I managed to have Google Play Service running for only 15-20 minutes per day but now I'm afraid this strange "resurrection" will keep me awake for many nights XD

[Guest fonz93]

Just don't touch it, it doesn't cause wakelocks so i don't find a reason to disable it

Edited October 14, 2014 by fonz93

[Guest xxirioxx]

Yes, you're right, it's just curiosity ;) I'm just doing some tests trying to disable as many service as possible. It doesn't cause wakelocks directly but I think it does calling other services such as Event Log Service, AlarmManager or similar.

AlarmManager is a wakelock needed to call single applications for push notifications (WhatsApp for example)

 

Don't disable too many services, you can have problems like these:

They keep recalling disabled services and drain battery

Edited October 14, 2014 by fonz93

[Guest xxirioxx]

I know what I do ;)

I just disabled few services:

- AnalyticsService (now is active again)

- PlayLogBrokerService

- UserPresenceService

- WearableService

 

These services were already disabled: ProxyGTalkService, SyncService

So guys what about those minfree values, does that increase ram or? I just couldnt get how that works.

[Guest H3ROS]

@krux3r

Your running apps looks fine.

 

You probably won't want to change the minfree's. It's just that you can free up RAM that way, but it can also cause slowdowns because Android can then constantly be busy killing processes to free up memory. That'll use more CPU which will reduce your battery life too.

 

I've come up with 1 tweak that seems to slightly improve the smoothness of the notification menu when on the home screen. It'll make the up and down animation a little less choppy. Basically what you need to do is go to Nova's settings, select desktop, wallpaper scrolling and set that to force. That'll bypass the slow wallpaper rendering in older AOSP ROM's which is what causes some of the animation choppiness.

 

Update: I just found out how to make the whole ROM buttery smooth (use GPU the same as CM). The issue is it takes up even more RAM, which is something there's not a lot of already. I'm going to look into limiting what processes can have hardware acceleration before I even consider releasing anything.

How? Did you find the limitation applied by Huawei?

[Guest krux3r]

@H3ROS

Wow, that Nova trick is working. All animations are suddenly smoother, thank you.

Actually it wasn't Huawei's fault. It's a limitation set within AOSP and I found what I needed to change to allow it to work :) I'll probably backport a build.prop setting so that it can be enabled and disabled, but I might make the SystemUI have GPU rendering enabled all of the time if I can as nothing else really needs the extra effects anyway.

 

Enabling GPU rendering without an option just isn't a good solution due to the lack of free RAM the Y300/G510 has. I'm currently testing it against the medium minfree preset in performance control though and it seems to manage okay with my selection of apps, but that may differ from person to person.

 

 

@krux3r

Weird. I've not had it do that while testing. It's not too important now that I've figured out how to get the GPU to render the SystemUI anyway :)

@H3ROS

The screen was bugged for few seconds, it works now. And keep the good work, Im really looking forward to this what are you working on.

Edited October 15, 2014 by krux3r

[Guest fonz93]

@H3ROS

 

This tweak will affect the app drawer too?

[Guest H3ROS]

Currently it's using the GPU for everything that requires it, so right now it's running with extra animations and everything. So it's got the buttery smooth notification menu and even the launcher is a little smoother, not that it was bad before with Nova. I'd like to disable it by default system wide though simply to save RAM.

[Guest krux3r]

@H3ROS

So where would it be enabled, just for launcher or?
