Don't get me wrong, I love Myn's ROM and this thread is in no way a "lets derail Myn from his glory thread."
For one, my android system is running at 96% and I have absolutely no idea why. I flashed Calkulins new radio pack about 3 weeks ago along with his ROM and had no problems at all. I then switched to MIUI for awhile while I was waiting for RLS 5 to come out and since flashing RLS 5 I have had this problem and can't get rid of it. It doesn't matter what kernel I use, I still have upwards of 90% android system usage of the battery. I would like to figure this out or I may have to switch roms.
Another thing,
For some reason, after I just recently flashed to Myns RLS 5 Pandora sounds like it is playing out of a tin can. I have the higher quality settings turned on and it still sounds like crap, way worse than it did on any previous ROM. I'm wondering how I can fix this?
These problems are really starting to irritate me and I would very much love it if someone would help me out here.
Thanks

I have had the same issue with the android system taking up 90% + or my battery as well and it started after I flashed Myn's RLS5. Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908167
I just posted this with pics. Also I went under network usage in spare parts and it seems that "0" is taking up all the usage and dont know why?

I have all the latest updates for radios and Pandora sounds fine!
i've heard that flashing the entire update (radios, wimax, pri, nv)
causes the uptime on a lot of roms. i think your best bet would be flash the 1.77 PRI in calkulins thread. ive kept 1.77 pri and NV and my phone is just fine running myns RLS5 right now as a matter of fact. good luck hope this helps man.

Im not having any up time issues. My phone sleeps just fine, its the android system that is taking up over 90% + or my batery usage and its made my battery life crap.
Hmm...that's odd...I flashed the rom via Rom Manager, did a few optional updates with it, and the only thing I had to do was flash the 132 radio, my phone great, no FC, nothing.....Hell, I should take this phone into the local sprint store to show them how the SHOULD RUN!
hmmm well this is my solution and it come straight from netarchy in his thread
Code:

and ultimately thats really what it sounds like man, flash a different kernal if you really feel the need to do something besides a PRI downgrade, but i firmly believe that myns RLS5 is just fine.
try downgrading the PRI and NV then post back worse case scenario you have to upgrade again and that takes a whopping 5 minutes

My big thing is that my phone is sleeping just fine. If you look at the second post and click on the link you will see screen shots of my up time and awake time which is like:
up time is like 46 hrs or some **** and awake time is like 6 hrs. So my problem is that the "Android System" is taking up 90% + of my battery use. I generally get a little over a day of lite to moderate use out of my battery but since I flashed rls5 its only been like 7 - 12 hrs(not that I am complaining) but I would just like to figure this out. Also some thing else I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the top selection is "0" and when I click on it it just says "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. and please try again?
could this be related to the gingerbread menu upgrade? I have that flashed. Do you or have you ever?

i read your post, have you tried downgrading yet. im almost guaranteeing it will improve battery life the new 1.90 updates dont play well with a lot of roms causing ridiculous battery drain. now regardless if it shows its from the android system/networking problem or not im not knowledgeable enough to answer that, but my android system runs at 19% running myns rls5 and the 1.77 PRI and NV updates just saying..you might really want to consider just TRYING it ya know?

I love the SBC kernels and have read almost every post about them frying batterys. So I ordered a 3500 and am waiting for it to get here and then I will switch kernels. What is the stock kernel that is running with rls5? HTC kernel 15? Thanks for doing the testing. I have 4 kids and got pulled away for awhile. I think I am going to flash the stock kernel for rls5. Do you think I should still downgrade my PRI? I also hit the thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took to figure this out!
Let me just chime in here to shed a little light and knowledge.
Your problem is 3.70 base Rom. It's not a sleep issue. Probably won't be solved by changing kernels. Doesn't look like bad battery life since the phone had not been charged for 42 hours, that's almost 2 days.
If you ask me you have what most ppl are looking to get, which is a full day of use and more. Now correct me if I am wrong but how is going 2 days with out charging a bad thing???
The android system high %'s is a 3.70 issue which has affected a lot of ppl on the forum. The issue has several remedies but the easiest is to just reboot directly after charging the phone. Some ppl have said changing the pri back to 1.77 solved the issue, others have said updating their radio solved the issue.
Please give me a little bit more information so I can research more in depth for you...
Edit: Also let me state the facts here, please don't discredit someone else's work by saying a certain kernel,Rom, theme or recovery will damage a device. The sbc was a variable in ppl batteries being damaged and no one has proven that the kernel has indeed damaged their phone. Only here say...
I don't know if sbc is good or bad as the team I am working with are still in the testing stages with no clear answer, which probably won't come for months.

I honestly love the sbc kernels so I am showing no disrespect to the dev that put these together. My phone also loves the net kernels so Im not going to change at this point. Once you look at my screen shots from my post you will see that my battery only lasted 7 1/2 hours with lite to moderate use. Also there is another screen shot with the awake time and sleep time. One of they other things I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the "thing" that has the highest usage is "0" and when I long press it to see what it is it just force closes. If you see my signature then you know what I am running.

There is definately a problem with the rom released 1-7-11.
It will not allow installation of google usb tether program and the file explorer always seems to be working (spinning graphic). I do not think the previous rom had this problem but I can not be sure. Tried other non myn roms w/o problem, retried myn's and reconfirmed that there is a problem.
It seems that he changed a few things and had some sort of side effect.
Somebody should try running ps, ps -aux or top from a bash terminal to see what is really running. A look at the error log would not hurt either.
Interesting that you couldn't install that. I'm not sure why. The spinning I believe you are referring to is where ads would be. Myn added adblock to the role rls5. Most apps with ads (astro,xda, alchemy, etc) will display the loading circle instead. You can remove adblock. Just search the threads.

Have you tried the reboot right after charging? Also I read some where to go into airplane mode and then turn everything back on. Also when all else fail, not sure how you got to myn's but for the sake of safety do a fresh install of it with a wipe on everything. May also want to try caulk's format all zip.
Try the reboot then see, if that fails fresh install and then see.. let me know each time...
The 0 in spare parts in the android OS and it force close on everyone. Don't be alarmed by that.

I had the horrid battery life after upgrading to Myn's latest and the treo update radio pack. Downgrading my PRI didn't fix it. It was the kernel. I was having random browser fc also.
Went back to HTC #17 kernel and all is well. Try swapping just your kernel.
Hi guys
Has anyone noticed that there is checkerboard rendering still happening on the latest custom roms. Some cooks note that its gone but I still see it. i.e the latest midnight rom based on bonsai has it but the quantum rom doesn't. I guess what Im curious about is what causes the rendering and how was it fixed? Any apk out there that can be installed to correct it? Note the cooks are great and im in no way dissing there work and dedication.

Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Wish I had an answer for you, I just found this thread because I did a search before asking the same question. I have the checkerboarding with Midnight 3.0, but I did not have it running Midnight 2.3 or Supernova.
this may just be a dumb theory, but it appears the checkerboarding is intentional, from the original app... its just the 'im still loading' screen. So If one rom performs faster, then you wont even see it, because it just loads the page... Devs??? I always wondered this, as at first people saw it as a glitch, but I think the problem is slow page loads, not what it displays instead of the page while loading. I could be totally wrong, but ive seen it on all Froyo roms (DK28 roms, only tried one of the others for a few hours, but it did it too..). I just saw a lot of people complaining about the 'glitch', just like all the 'lags', and Im not so sure these are glitches, as much as performance kinks needing to be ironed out, which no doubt would be easier with source code... please correct if I am mistaken, im very curious about this too, but if its 'normal', its just a way to tell how fast a rom is, given youre using say the same ultra high speed wifi I do... I know its not my internet, ive got 35/35 Fios....
glad I'm not the only one. Midnights rom seems pretty smooth other then the checkerboard on the browser. Seems to me someone has it fixed right and not all the cooks are following it.

But my display apps try and open than dissapear giving me no access...... I am running dual boot sooooo... that may be the cause but 7.0.2 worked great when I updated to it..... just didn't know if I was the only one
If its a well known major problem with development of a rom that is supposed to be stable than yes if no than Q/A with people whom aren't even rooted....... hmmmmm hard choice,I know it was for me....... please move this post if it's not in the right section...
You could check the threads for CM7 and see if it its a "development issue"...searching works from time to time

Opening a new thread about a ROM rather than posting in that ROM's thread, running it in a non standard configuration, AND having an attitude when someone points out a Q doesn't belong in dev? Yeah, I see no problem at all. /sarcasm

Why, so people can go on downloading a supposed "stable" release only to find out it wasn't so "stable" to begin with?
I LOVE the CM crew and all they do for the scene, but I had a very terrible experience with 7.0.0 on the DINC. First it was jittery video (which I lived with for over a week) and then all my installed apps just suddenly quit working.

A "stable" ROM should never require an end user to try a different kernel.
Anyway, I ended up back on OMGB and couldn't be happier. The only FC I can find is due to installed software (Astro SMB Module).

Just because someone posts something in Q&A doesn't mean they aren't rooted. Your attitude sucks man. My personal opinion would be to reflash and wipe I have been running the latest stable release for as long as its been out and been updating to the latest version asap and have had zero problems other than those cause by user error. Perhaps you did something. Gotta release 9/10 problems are user generated.

Dude you should always try different kernals with roms. You must be new. It is stable I've had zero problems. As stated previously 9/10s of problems are user error and with the ignorance you are displaying I'm gonna say you did something. Just a tip when you wipe you should multiple times becayse 3.X wipes like a dirty person.

Don't let my post count fool you. I've been around since the beginning with the G1. Final, Stable, these words suggest newbie usage. Final builds should come with a final kernel. Unless you're a dev, tester, or need something specific for a certain application then you shouldn't need to kernel hack.

I understand how memory wipes work, so I don't believe the multiple wipe requirement. However, if it is an issue with ClockworkMod 3.x then I do apologize for any nay say here against CM. However, that doesn't really explain why 7.0.2 and 7.0.2.1 came out so soon after 7.0.0, and I wasn't the only one with video troubles in 7.0.0.

just wondering if anyone knows what is going on with my evo and if its only mine oppose to everyone else. i haven't found anyone else complaining of this issue but every time i update from 2.2.1 to 2.3 or higher my camera display feed back is all white. also any video (i've only tried mp4) on my sdcard playback is all white, i do however hear the sound from the video. i've tried at least three different roms, including the rooted version of the ota release.
that being said when i flash back to 2.2.1 or earlier my camera works perfectly again!? i just don't get it. maybe i missed something... any helps is appreciated. i certainly would like to enjoy the updated perks of androids constantly evolving capability. but i really use my camera a lot.
figured it out
thanks for the prompt replies, lol. just kidding. i reflashed synergy and this time around the camera and video feedback are working. this time around i went into mounts and storage in recovery and formatted each individually, more specifically the /system partition. also this time around i did not flash netarchy kernel. not sure which did the trick but 2.3.3 is working flawlessly now. hopefully this will help someone else experiencing this issue.
Do not use Netarchy with Gingerbread. HTC has not released the Gingerbread kernel source yet, so Netarchy is still based on Froyo.
Netarchy kernel + Gingerbread Sense = white camera and a couple other issues
We'll be stuck with stock for a while, until HTC unleashes the kernel source.
:-/
oh wow, that sucks royally. so im guessing cpu scaling or swap partitions are out of the question? i don't really use swap partitions but i do like the capability lol. oh well, its not like 998mhz is a bad cpu speed. and honestly when i use scaling i keep it at 768mhz to save the battery and it still runs smooth. but thanks for the reply! glad to know for sure it was the kernel.
Hey there. I bought my wife a GS3 for T-Mo off of Craigslist, and it has an AOKP jellybean ROM on it. I personally like the ROM, but my wife complains about certain bugs, and doesn't use much (if any) of the customization features.
I don't want to flash it back to stock as I think Samsungs interface is junk.
Can anyone please recommend a very simple, relatively bug free custom ROM to flash?
Thanks for the help!
what type of "custom" "bug free" rom, like no TouchWiz? look at my signature there is a resource guide I have created. What are the bugs she doesn't like maybe we can eliminate them, or you can update her phone so she doesn't have them...
I tried a few then ended up on this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750270
The reason I've stayed with it is I haven't had any problems and I can use Nova launcher with it.
Once I find out which Jelly Bean ROM will work well with PDroid, I will switch to that.
@OP, if you can turn this into a "Let's fix my wife's phone issues" thread, I'll leave it open. If it stays as a Best ROM thread then it'll get locked (they always turn into "whip it out and see who's is better" threads).
Like mt3g said, what issues is she having? Also like he said, go to the Bible (stuck in the General section) and you'll get a good synopsis of what is going on around the Development section.
Wives can be a tricky bunch. Mine is running a custom AOSP on her SGS2 that I tweaked out myself. While it is 99% stable, she'll find that 1% wrong and I'll fix it and move on to another issue. Sometimes for fun, I take a bootanimation.zip and load into her /data/local and the next time she reboots, it throws her off a bit. Now she is pretty savvy at all this, so I usually get a text shortly after. One time I put a screen shot of my SGS3 on her wall and moved all her icons to another page. That one really messed her head up. She screws with my tablet when I am not home, so she knows how the game works.
What I am saying is that you/we can probably solve most of her issues if you let us know what they are.

Sometimes for fun, I take a bootanimation.zip and load into her /data/local and the next time she reboots, it throws her off a bit. Now she is pretty savvy at all this, so I usually get a text shortly after. One time I put a screen shot of my SGS3 on her wall and moved all her icons to another page. That one really messed her head up. She screws with my tablet when I am not home, so she knows how the game works.
What I am saying is that you/we can probably solve most of her issues if you let us know what they are.

Yeah...I didn't mean to start a "best ROM" thread as I know how annoying those can be. I understand that some ROM's can be a bit buggy, and thats a trade off most of us are willing to live with to have the latest features and customizations. To better rephrase my question, I am not looking for the "most stable" ROM. I'm looking for any option, whether it be tweeking some settings, or flashing a new ROM. My wife is completely phone illiterate compared to most of us on this website. She uses all the features on her phone, but thats it. She loves AOKP because she can make her font pink...lol.
The main three issues she has are below.
1. Turns off randomly on its own
2. When she hits the power button to wake up the phone, the light up haptic buttons at the bottom of the the phone light up, but the screen doesn't go on. At this point she is forced to pull the battery to restart the phone and get the screen working.
3. Phone freezes quite often

I would suggest wiping phone and or maybe installing a different rom/ kernel combo... that all sounds like a kernel issue. Get her phone and go to Settings>about phone> and tell me android version, Kernel Version, AOKP Version.
She can have her font pink on a stock based rom as well... does she use BlueTooth?
If not I suggest updating to the latest of Mike's rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028 it is 4.2.1 it is mostly Cm-10.1, but with his and DjIntrigue's cherry picks and little fixes here and there. They're switching to AOKP for the most part on Friday with a new release.
Android Version: 4.1.1
Kernel: 3.0.43-cyanogenmod-faux123-att-tmo-g43de6e3 [email protected]) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 1 02:39:01 CEST 2012
AOKP Version: aokp_d2tmo_jb_build-4
If I flash to a new ROM would you recommend trying a different kernel?
Thanks for the help!
I recommend not try a new kernel mostly. If all else fails go to a stock based ROM TouchWiz isn't too bad. I prefer aosp based roms but not all phones are created equal. Yours not liking the kernel can more then likely be fixed by raising the deep sleep MHz but that'll result in not so great battery life.

Hey there. I bought my wife a GS3 for T-Mo off of Craigslist, and it has an AOKP jellybean ROM on it. I personally like the ROM, but my wife complains about certain bugs, and doesn't use much (if any) of the customization features.
I don't want to flash it back to stock as I think Samsungs interface is junk.
Can anyone please recommend a very simple, relatively bug free custom ROM to flash?
Thanks for the help!
