Anyone getting very high android system use? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been getting over 40, sometimes over 60% android system use, which I find kind of crazy, considering I have downgraded my PRI from 1.90 to the 1.77, I've updated profile. I've ran 2 different sense roms based on the latest OTA, as well as Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1 final.....I'm running out of clues as to what would be causing this.
I doubt it's an app, as I tried flashing a sense rom and installed a very minimal amount of apps and I am still experiencing this issue.
I'm not quite sure what to try next here, is anyone suffering from a similar issue or have any other suggestions??
Thanks!

Do you leave bluetooth, gps, anything on? Trip turning your mobile days off añd let.the phone go through the däy then check your usage.

Nope, I turn off everything when I'm not using it, gps, bluetooth, even 3G are all turned off when not in use.

Not really I'm getting between 20-30% usually .

For the most part I only get really high android system usage if I'm on my phone a lot. For the most part its less than 20%. But it can approach 50 if I'm using my phone a ton.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I think it may have to do with the newest OTA, or baseband update, I know that normally, most users can experience about 20% or so system usage with moderate use, but it seems I reach above 50% or so with moderate/a bit heavy use, it just seems like a bit much, and I don't remember having such an issue before.
I know some users mentioned the latest PRI messing with their phones, but I put the older one back on and it doesn't seem to have fixed it.
y
Edit: Like, for example, I just checked my android system after taking my phone off the charger, and it immediately shows as 70%, though this number will go down a bit, but even with light use, it seems to linger around 40-60% usage.

Get the Spare Parts app (it comes in CyanogenMod) and check the Partial Wake usage in Battery History. If it's showing Android System as using a lot of the partial wake, then continue on:
This was a known bug that was found and solved in CyanogenMod. What's solved it for people still having it is to use a FORMAT_ALL.zip in recovery, which formats and completely wipes the system, data, cache, and kernel (boot) partitions. I used it, and it got rid of my wake-lock.
So to review:
1) Backup via Titanium Backup or something similar.
2) Nandroid backup.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash ROM (and gapps, if applicable)
5) Boot up, check partial wake usage after a while.
6) If all good, add your accounts, but do not add any apps. Check partial wake after an hour or two.
7) Restore apps in groups (5-10 apps), rebooting then waiting 30 minutes or so between each group, checking on partial-wake usage each time.
EDIT: Here's the FORMAT_ALL.zip

Does this format the SD card as well? I thought i read it did, which would be a hassle. Also, you mentioned doing a nandroid back up, yet then flashing a rom, does this mean I would not want to simply restore my nandroid?

1) It will not format or wipe the SD card.
2) Nandroid backup is always done as a precautionary measure. You do not restore from it afterwards, in this case.

Yea i've been reading a lot of people with that ota has been having that problem

I just got my EVO last week so I have 3.70 and have not rooted yet. My phone has been off the charger for 7 hours and Android System is currently at 94% with Cell Standby, WiFi and Phone idle all at 2%. I had a Hero before the EVO and the Screen was what always seemed to use the most battery and its not even on the list for my EVO which I thought was very strange. I guess I need to look into the manual Root method since the others are not HBoot 2.10 and 3.7 compatible at this time.

I'm running stock 3.70 unrooted and right now Android System battery use is at 59%.

All of you with issues:
1) Download the FORMAT_ALL.zip from above.
2) Backup with Titanium Backup and Nandroid.
3) Flash FORMAT_ALL.zip
4) Flash your ROM
5) Via Titanium Backup, restore only user apps and their data, no system apps, system app data, or system settings! Do not restore from Nandroid.

I'm having the same issue. I'm stock UNROOTED 3.70. Is there a way to fix this for us non-rooted folks? I have been having significant battery drain and I did a factory reset and wiped everything except the SD card before the update. I do plan on roofing soon but I have the new 2.10 HBoot an hardware version 0003 and i want to make sure there is a well tested method and instructions before I attempt it. I'm no noob i've read this site daily since I got my Evo in June and I'm also an electrical engineering aka NERD but i just want to be certain before I root as this only phone I use and can't be longer than a day without it due to work. Any input here as well as on a fix for the high system use would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

How to Stop IQD process?

I finally found what's been keeping my phone up and causing my cpu usage to be at 100%. In the spare parts and system panel apps, it's something called IQD. How in the world can I stop this because this phone is almost useless now because the battery drains constantly when not on the hook. It will just die overnight.

its kinda like on a pc in the task manager seeing "system idle process at 99%"
there is a runaway app causing your drain, its not the iqd process thats the problem......at least thats my interpretation of what 30 seconds of google can do....
Well even after doing a complete data wipe, it's still happening. I find it hard to believe it's a native app causing this.
And I found nothing out there at that places this process with a given app. I've had the same sets of apps and settings for a long time now and this just started happening.

its unlikely a native app causing this , did you use TB to restore you apps?
with data? or app only?
if so TB has a freeze function if u have the paid version, might help rule it out,
just freeze one by one and the check cpu usage.
or maybe your battery is going bad?
or try a fresh flash without using TB to restore apps for a few
just trying to throw some ideas your way.........
I have TB but have never used it to restore apps. I always download them back one by one for some reason.
And I do want to do a fresh flash but with the newly updated Clockwork, it can not flash any roms at all. I want to switch to RA but need to figure out how.
And how can I know if the battery is going bad?

This process appeared when I upgraded from 1.77 PRI to 1.90 PRI. It was very frustrating to deal with. The only way get rid of the process is to downgrade Your PRI. FYI Nand restoring to a previous backup will not downgrade your pri. Hope that helps!
I had the same problem. What I did was use calk's formatt all zip then wiped cache and dalvik then flashed my rom again. But I,think I found the problem. Its the PRI. I bet you have a 3.30 rom on a 1.90 PRI. 3.30 roms need 1.77 PRIs, the 1.90 causes the wake issue. Put it this was, do what I said and it will be gone. I guarantee it.

inside rom manager it has an option to flash Amon_Ra revovery, if its greyed out then you need to dl it to your sd card, reboot and go back into rom manager, choose flash alt recovery (Amon_Ra v1.8)

Yes I do and I downloaded some all in one zip with wimax, pri, radio, etc and it was 1.9!
How do I go down to 1.7???
Thanks dude!! You are a lifesaver! It worked perfect.
If you were here, I'd buy you a drink.
My phone is finally normal and not sluggish and a battery draining nightmare. Whooo

[Q] irc, myn's rls5, toastmod kernal.....wth is wrong

Ok since this the third time typing this here is the condensed version. Running myns rls5 ontop of toastmod kernel listed on same page. Initial flash went ok minus the Flickr screen, distortion lines laterally, horrendous battery life, weird boot process...osmonitor I had to install due to interference with the OS. Myns crashed a lot with in first flash. Also some one dumb down how to use an irc app cuz I'm also lost....also what IM service can I get hold of u guys on cuz I hate forums.... too impatient
Ok no help? Not even some direction for irc where I can get some real help? Well just flashed a diff kernel thanks for the help guys. The Droid community has been a very unhelpful one compared to iPhone....
(irc help would be awesome still since I now have some help with main issue- I enter all the correct info into the app but it shows nothin. I've tried several to no avail. I appreciate the help) second I've ran into more pretentious ppl in these forums for Android then others no offense to the good guys but just my exp. It was brash to say that in this post tho. Thank you guys again for the ones willing.
That's because even the biggest idiot can work an iphone.

Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson
Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed
Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question
From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.
Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!
DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...
Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms

also make sure whatever kernel your using works with the 3.70 based roms, as many dont.

Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.
Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.
First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.
I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.
I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.
Make a nandroid of this and keep it.
Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.
So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.
I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.
Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.

You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.
QUOTE And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it QUOTE
If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.
Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.
Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.
Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

This isn't true, the problem is ALWAYS the kernel. I'm running myn rls5 and mikfroyo 4.3 with an SBC #15 v7 kernel (i'll edit post and add the link) and I have had zero issues except I can't download MMS messages on 4g on mikfroyo.

Okay, this process will 100% work. It's the one I've been using since my lowly mytouch slide oh so many months ago.
*before you do this, make sure you have backups of your nandroid and your rsa keys. I'll edit post and give you links on how to back up your rsa keys*
RSA Key back-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900 ...since you're rooted you can go straight to the part where it says "if you're rooted do this.."
1. First you need to fix the sd card. Create a folder on your computer desktop and call it "my sd card". Plug your phone into the computer and select "disk drive". Next you're going to copy EVERYTHING from the sd card and place it in the folder on the desktop (and dude I mean everything! AS IS, DON'T CHANGE ANY NAMES). Then, you're going to unhook your phone, go to settings>sd and phone storage. Then you're going to format your sd card. Yes, do it, but make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. After that's done, plug your phone back in, select disk drive and copy everything from your "my sd card" folder on your computer and put it back onto your sd card.
*phew*
Okay now that the sd problem is fixed, here's how you fix the rest. You see, when you upgrade your PRI to 1.90 and your radio, etc etc you gotta update the kernel to a version that's 1.90 supported. I'll edit post and post a link to where you can find one OR you can just use the kernel that's included with myn's rom because it WILL WORK. *edit* the kernel I'm using has been taken down because of the witch hunt against SBC kernels. So for now, just stick with stock. It works just fine.
Anyway.
Steps to getting myn working perfectly.
*before starting, re-download myn rls5 in case the screen flickering was caused by a corrupted download*
1. Download Titanium Back-up from the market. Back up all the apps you want to keep (basically, anything you downloaded from the market as you'll get facebook, sense widgets, etc back). You can do this while you re-download the rom.
2. Make a nandroid back-up in case something goes seriously wrong. A rom that flickers your screen is better than a brick.
3. Once that back-up is done, reboot into recovery. Once there, you're going to WIPE EVERYTHING. Full data, cache and dalvik wipe. Yes, do it. There is no other option.
3. Flash myn's rom. Let it go all the way through. Do NOT flash a new kernel until you've found one that's 3.70 compatible and works with PRI 1.90. Myn rls5 is designed to work with the newest updates (which means a #15 kernel, like the one that came stock).
4. Reboot. If the screen is still flickering, then at this point it's a hardware problem. Flash back to stock, unroot and go get a new one. If it works fine, re-download titanium back-up from the market and restore all your apps. From there it's just putting your widgets back on your home screen.
From here, you can search the forums for a kernel that works with the newest updates. If you read them, they'll tell you what they're compatible with. Remember do NOT use an AOSP kernel with a SENSE rom, that's just spells IDIOCY. Until you find a kernel that works, stick with the one that came with the rom because everyone knows that one works.
I hope this helps. As for the IRC chat, not all the experts are on all the time. If no one is online that can help when you get one, try getting a few hours earlier or a few hours later.

[Q] phone battery dies so quickly, lasts about an hour

When I have everything turned off, WIFI, GPS, 4G, it dies a few percent a minute
I don't have a signal in my room, and I read that it takes a lot of battery searching for one,
but even when I'm at a restaurant or someone else s house it goes down that fast
It's rooted, I was thinking of trying to unroot it, and take it to sprint
Would they be able to tell?
is there anything I can try to stop the battery from dying that quick, without another battery.
I have two battery's, but its annoying to keep switching them.
Go to settings /applications/running services. And check from there ...after that go to manage applications and see what's in the running tab

Check spare parts for partial wake lock.
I dont know what changed, Its always been a short battery, but not an hour.
I switched roms, but I switched last night again, and that didn't fix it
Whats a partial wake lock?
I looked in spare parts. I didn't see anything like that.
In spare parts, click battery history, you'll also see a running versus awake time, where it says other usage, click it, then select partial wake lock, and on the second tab, you can click since last boot.

Calibrate your batter, do a complete wipe + stock rom. If it still lasts less then an hour or even less then 5 hours then you have a bad battery or bad phone

As long as your bootloader is s-on and you deleted all your "rooting" files off the phone/sdcard, they won't know.
i would install process manager from market, it tells you apps running in real time, and how much cpu its being used, it might help you pinpoint if its an app doing this, also could use catlog, this app lets you see the log on your phone you might be able to see the problem there too
It could possibly be the PRI and NV on your phone. Several people have voiced concerns about horrible battery life, and one of the problems that's been pointed out is the PRI and NV versions (1.90 is the culprit). A way to fix this is to flash the 1.77 versions.
Do this to see what you are on:
Go to settings, then to about phone, then to software information.
Here's a link to download different versions. Thank Calkulin for this, he is the man. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Put the .zip folders on the root of your sd card, go into recovery mode (factory reset and clear the dalvik cache and such I think, if I remember correctly, you might want to check with someone more knowledgeable than me) and flash those .zip folders and hopefully that'll help.

You got it right, except when flashing, he would just need to wipe cache and dalvik, no need to wipe factory/data, flash the pri or nv, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik, flash nv, then reboot again.
And that's why I'm a junior member, just rooted a couple weeks ago, and now addicted to flashing ROMs and scouring over the XDA forums... Thanks man

Answers to common questions about SyndicateROM Frozen

This is a guide I’ve put together from my (in)experience with flashing ACS. It mainly comes from the replies of k0nane and theimpaler747 in the SyndicateROM thread. However, since there’s so many pages that can be tricky to search for idiots like me who just throw up random posts for others to solve their problems, I thought it would be good to summarize it along with anything I happened to notice from flashing a couple of Epics. Consider it the FIBI guide.
Step 1: Read all posts by k0nane on page 1 of the SyndicateROM thread before doing a damn thing! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
Instructions for CWM are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
Useful hotkeys:
Download mode - Hold down 1 on the keyboard when you power on the phone
Recovery mode - Hold Volume down+camera+power to power on the phone
Reset phone - Hold volume up+camera+power. This generally works when the phone is completely locked up.
Flashing:
When going between versions of ACS, check their notes to see if you need to do anything other than flash. You can go between some versions without wiping or losing anything. You can also flash between standard and fully loaded without wiping or losing anything.
Sdcard doesn’t mount in CWM, but shows up in Android - Format the sdcard in Android.
Boot hangs on the Samsung screen – Redownload, format your SD card and reflash
Boot screen flashed between different things – Wipe cache & data 3x and reflash
Journaling:
Enable journaling – In CWM, go to backup and restore. Backup, then restore using that backup. Journaling enabled!
Make it so you don’t need journaling – Keep a copy of the ROM on your phone at all times. Should you ever have data corruption, jump into CWM and flash the ROM again. It’s quick, no wipes needed.
If you restore a backup made in CWM and want to have non-journaled again – Flash the ROM after restoring.
Other issues:
FC in a specific app – Go into manage applications and clear data for that app
FC in several apps – In CWM > Advanced, try fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
If you have any major issues that seem unresolved, Odin everything back to stock with EB13, format your sdcard in android, re-download everything, re-install CWM, re-read all of k0nane’s posts on page 1 and try again.
If you want ads back – Install adfree from market and hit revert
If your phone is freezing often - Flash either the vision kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136 or the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12504067&postcount=5904. I haven't had the freezing issues, but I'd recommend trying the vision kernel first as it has some other potential benefits.
Recommended tweaks and add ons:
Fugutweaks – This will smooth out a few random things on the phone. I’ve noticed more responsiveness on the lock screen and icons on my homescreen. Small, but nice. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125
Impaled Keyboard – Makes the keyboard less likely to skip keys. Still have some, but they’ve gone down a lot. I use the Speed Demon Edition, still had a fair amount of dropped keys with standard one. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533&page=18
SetCPU – Handles scaling the CPU and overclocking. Use ondemand setting for smooth performance. If you have issues when the phone is idle or it doesn’t wake up properly, set minimum CPU to 200Mhz. Free for XDA members, APK can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Battery Calibration – If you want to calibrate your battery without going into CWM, grab the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867. It’s now available from the Android Market.
Vision Kernel – Pretty much Twilight + gives you 1.4Ghz and Voodoo colour which improves balance when brightness is at 100%. Flash in CWM, wipe dalvik. Kernel can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136
And a final note that I'm now about 10 hours into testing... if you are using fully loaded and want better battery life, really try standard. It very easy to switch, it flashes over fully loaded with no wipes or data loss, the only thing you lose is that it resets your homescreens. But really, this is day 1 of it for me and 10 hours in I'm at 62% battery remaining. Usually by this time I'd be around 20%.
Great info! I recently installed the newest SyndicateROM 1.1.0 on my Epic and the only trouble I had was with the included Twilight 1.1.0 kernel. My phone kept freezing and I would have to pull the battery to reboot.
This is an issue that has been documented with the ROM and is said to be caused by the kernel and its adjustments to voltage and overclocking, not all phones handle this well.
To fix the issue I flashed the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, as suggested by k0nane, and I am about a day into testing without any freezing issues. The only problem is that the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel has a known issue with video recording and it does not work.
Let me say that the performance increase from installing SyndicateROM and ext4 are well worth the trouble.
Have you tried the vision kernel? That might fix your freezing without breaking video recording.
is your brightness at 100%??? what was the difference between standard and fully loaded again??

What does the brightness have to do with anything? And for the differences, here's from the SyndicateROM thread:
k0nane said:
SyndicateROM Standard includes LauncherPro. All Samsung and Sprint bloatware are completely gone!
SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

The brightness for battery life.
No, brightness is not at 100%. I generally use 0-25%, though I'll kick it to 100% when viewing photos or when I'm outside. Even with the lower brightness setting, I'd always have to recharge in the afternoon. I'm still doing a lot of testing for ways of having the battery last longer, today is longest it's ever gone for. I'll be adding more information when I feel like I've got a solid way of having it all setup.
OP, could you add the freezes and "terrible battery life" solutions? Namely, flash the kernel in the second post or VisionKernel. It's the most annoying one to answer multiple times daily.
Thanks much for this! Hopefully people read it.
I want to get the battery situation on my phone sorted out before adding it to the list. I was having pretty bad battery life, but switching to standard and removing gallery has made my phone last all day for the first time ever. I want to do some experiments between setcpu options, juicedefender and the vision kernel to see what works best. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a more detailed idea as to how to get better battery life.
But for now, anyone having battery issues my current setup is using ACS standard and replacing gallery with quickpic. This has doubled my battery life.
Hey wassup everyone, first time writer long time viewer, and first let me say thanks to all the great people that have provided us with great roms for the epic and the syndicate team as well, Im currently using a Epic 4G with sindicate rom freeze 1.1.0 and i must say its awesome, aside from my battery dying really quickly when im runing it at 1.3ghz its actually great, usually i end up operatig it at 800mhz to actually save some battery life last me for 3 days at a time, and when i have it pluged in or show off my awesome epic i raise it back upto 1.3ghz, big difference cuz when i raise it up there my battery drains rather quickly like 3 percent a minute or so.....
well anyways now that, thats says, I have CWM 3..0.5 with syndicaterom twilight 1.1.0 and ive been sucessful at loading custom boot animation, but one thing is that im having trouble is loading the animation with sound? any idea onhow i can od that?, what are the steps, cuz so far ive been using root explorer to transfer and change bootanimation to load up on my screen, but i have no idea where to put the sound or how to even get it to load with the bootanimation any one have any ideas? please help, i do all his trought my phone, put the bootanimation on my sd and work from there and trasfer it to the system/media, most bootanimation that do have sound on them say to put it on the system/custimization/resources but i look every where and the syndicate rom doesnt have that archieve just the system/media, how can i load the sound into my boot? and how can i change the power off animation as wll?

Just tested Vision kernel 1.1 and ran into countless issues. My phone would not open camera, gallery, or music apps. And after that debacle I didnt even bother to find out if any other apps were misbehaving.
The first sign of trouble came when I installed a fresh version of SyndicateROM 1.1.0 and then flashed Vision kernel 1.1. The phone booted-up fine but when I went to shut down it immediately froze and I had to pull the battery.
Im going to stay on Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for a while until I find something else.
I have tested Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for about a day or two and have not had any problems so far. I even overclocked with SetCPU to 1.2GHz without any issues.

Please elaborate on the steps that you took to install the ROM and CWM.
What version of CWM are you running?
What modem do you have installed (...DK28, EB13, EC05)?
Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.
Hey, great idea for the thread.
Something I learned:
I was having AWFUL freezing problems. Tried all the fixes (vision kernel, old twilight) to no avail. If these don't fix your problems, try Genocide Kernel (on these forums). Solved my problems.

I used the one step root process I found here to install CWM 2.5.1.0. I then downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SDcard, then used CWM to install the zip from my sdcard.
I don't know what modem I have, is there a way to check with my phone in it's current state?
I installed CWM previous to transferring the rom to my sd card
I did not the first time, but per instructions on the page where I downloaded the ROM, I reformatted my sd card, redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything 3x's and tried to reinstall. Same result. I keep getting the error on just about everything I do that states "E:Can't open /cash/recovery/log"
And thank you for your advise, any more would be greatly appriciated. I did search the forum, but there is so much information, hard to find what I really want, especially as a novice. I plan to not be a novice for long thanks to xda!

I could probably answer that question, im still a noob, but from what i know u need to install CWM version 3.0.5/6 in order for u to run does roms, thats why ure having trouble flashing it, since Syndicate roms are EXT4 Base Roms anything lower then CWM3 wont support since they are RFS files, go here and follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
download the CWM3 and root it again, u can run the CWM Root over the previous 1 so dont worry, i did it that way and i had no problems what so ever, as to check to see what modem u had, go to settings, about phone, under base band version check to see if the last 4 letters says EB13, or DK28, or if u have the ECO5 which is the newest stock base update that came out.
Also its best to know if ure phone is from stock, or if u updated from any of the first 2 version updates, EB or DK, if u where like me that waited for the update and stayed at Eclair then updated when the ECO5 OTA came out then u should be fine....
Just incase u are from a update of EB or DK here is the link for does 2 versions of CWM3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
if im wrong then someone please correct me im still a noob learning.
EDIT: just noticed that u said ure phone is messed at that point, umm u can try to do a factory reset then restart ure phone see if that fixes the problem, then try follow the steps above, if that doesnt work, u will have to download odin, which is also in that link and reflash back to stock, everything is there so if u follow does instrunctions u wont have a problem.....its actually pretty easy.....

[Q&A] JasmineROM Discussions [Chat Room]

This is the place for Q&A, general discussions, and post-installation chat about JasmineROM. Please keep your personal issues that are not related to the development, such as themes and other stuff, here.
All of the three times I flashed this rom it come up with no Status Bar, Background image and Phone apps. The first time I wiped the required partitions plus Internal Storage too. I was coming from Morom. The second time was the same except I didn't wipe Internal and I didn't flash the Xposed thing. The third time I Odin'd the stock rom and rooted it before and it came up the same. I thought maybe something was holding over from Morom that was causing it.
The Md5 for both is right. I'm a little confused because I seem to be the only one having problems. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a problem with my Sdcard. I couldn't make MultiSystem work right either.
I reformatted my card. My computer said there was something wrong. When I set it up for MultiSystem I formatted it fat32. When I re-did it just now the computer wanted to do it in exfat. Maybe it should have been exfat all along. Anyway I lost my ext4 partition. Hopefully I can get things straightened out over the weekend.
Update: That fixed it.

Runs FANTASTIC. I am really happy with it. I have it skinnied down quite a bit, I've frozen about 100 apps. When I clear cache, I "optimize" about 240 apps, whereas out of the box it was well over 300.
Between WLD, Greenify, ES Task Manager doing its optimzations, and my own pruning/tweaking (overclocked/undervolted, thanks to hsbadr's kernel and Synapse), I'm getting insanely good battery life and ridiculous performance, while retaining all the tweaking I'd gotten used to on KK,...

Hey is there any way you can elaborate a bit more on how you optimized your battery life?
I was on definitive 4.4.4 not too long ago getting an average of 5+ hours on screen time. Moderate to heavy usage. Which I thought was pretty good.
After installing this rom (which it runs amazing) I've noticed my battery life running a bit shorter. Screen on time is 2h 30min at 26% right now. 14% of my overall usage right behind #1 "Cell standby" at 16% and Android OS at 6% and android system at 5%.
I've only been running this rom for several days so far. I don't think it's something I've installed, or at least nothing that wasn't on kitkat. I'm on wifi a lot and barely use data. Battery Doctor says I have 45 power issues to optimize if that means anything.
I use greenify, clean master and battery doctor. Along with tasker to shut off mobile data when connected to wifi and a few other things (I'm still trying to learn it).
I also went through permissions and stopped a bunch of apps from checking locations and autoruns.
Any suggestions would help thank you! Battery life is the one thing I wish the note 4 was better with haha

It turns out that "Cell standby" is the issue, at 31% as I write this. Under 30min on screen time. It drained my battery by over 40% over night! I tried searching several threads, it seems this is a common issue. None of the 8+ threads I found had a solid answer, mostly theories that don't work for most. Please post a link if I have missed a solution somewhere!!

New to Android and Rooting/ROMS

Is there a way to get Android Pay to work on this ROM?
I've been using Google Wallet for tap to pay with no issues but it just updated to Android Pay which doesn't seem to work with root. I've tried all the workarounds I've found including disabling root but it's still not working, would that be because I am using your ROM? Is there any way to get it working in this ROM?
@hsbadr on the AOSP build, after restoring some apps with Titanium backup and rebooting, I lost data again. Tried rebooting and toggling some settings but it's still gone. Why is it so hard to keep data connected on Verizon with AOSP ROMS?

1 - Is FastCharge enabled? I don't see the notification I would see in TW... but it seems to charge pretty quick.
2 - What version of xposed (if any) should I install?
I'm having the following issues so far:
Trouble restoring multiple apps with Titanium Backup (this is a typical problem I have... but present again). It will hang on one app, and I have to kill TiB, install the app manually, and restart. This is a problem because...
I currently can't install anything from the Play Store. It's weird... according to the status, it skips downloading the app, and goes straight to installing, where it sits indefinitely. This may be because...
After restarting the phone a second time, I lost LTE, and have no connection to mobile data.
Any help?
I've got the ROM and Gapps files on my phone, but I won't be able to re-flash the modem with Odin until I get back home tonight. If needed, could I dirty- or clean-flash the phone and reinstall AICP without the facility of Odin?
Thanks
Thank you so much for AICP!!! I flashed last night according to your instructions, had a little trouble with mobile data, but after trying the fixes and rebooting, data finally sticks. All I can say is I'm loving the ROM. Everything is working perfect so far, data, GPS, calls, mms, Bluetooth.... Wow its a whole new life for my n4...thank you @hsbadr

I can't get LTE to turn back on. I've toggled it back and forth, and rebooted it several times. I had this problem with AICP v 8 (or 9, can't remember) a few weeks ago.
What fixes (bolded above) did you try, @gcounts? I did the OG5 safe upgrade over a month ago before installing Jasmine 3.0/3.1. After trying AICP 8/9 a few weeks ago and not having luck with Titanium Backup or mobile data, I did a factory reset in TWRP and reinstalled Jasmine 3.1. This morning, I did a factory wipe in TWRP (several times for good measure), and flashed the AICP rom and Gapps. I rebooted to Download mode from TWRP, and flashed the OG5 modem in Odin. At completion, the phone rebooted to AICP. I had LTE data at this point.
1st boot: I had LTE data before starting the initial setup... Upon completion of initial setup, I was on my home wifi, and installed Titanium Backup. I started restoring my 300+ apps, when it got hung on the 3rd one. I rebooted. At this point, I was at work, and did not have wifi to fall back on.
2nd boot: I had LTE data when it rebooted. I started Titanium Backup again, and it got hung up. I tried installing the app that was hung up from the Play Store, and the Play Store would skip downloading, and go straight to "Installing" status, and would hang there. Weird. I know I had LTE at this point because I could search and find results in the Play Store. I rebooted.
3rd boot: It booted, and I had the exclamation point by the signal (no LTE/data). I let it sit for a while, and it said LTE at some point... but I still couldn't search in the Play store. It would tell me I wasn't connected. I rebooted.
4th boot (and several following): No LTE/data connection. I toggle it on/off, wait several minutes... nothing.
Does any of that help to narrow down my issue?
@hsbadr - Do you have an idea of why some of us are having data problems? And... does your custom version with more Verizon tweaks have any hope of addressing this issue?
Thanks

Yes, it's enabled but no notification.

Try the official xposed framework for LP SDK 22 (xposed-v75-sdk22-arm.zip from here).

Apparently, your issues are mainly due to restoring apps or device ID via TitaniumBackup app... Report them to the app developer & don't use it for now!
As for flashing the modem via Odin, you may skip it or test different modems. However, this build is only tested & supported if you follow the instructions here.
