[Q] Resolving battery drain ...

Hi all,
Well, it's confirmed : Gallery is the guilty for battery drain ...
I'm in JPF version and I don't know if it was the case for previous version.
In an other post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901867&page=5) I was suspecting this app (when I first used JPF version, Froyo said that Gallery consumed about 50%), so I realized a test to be shure:
- Full charge
- Turn on phone and kill gallery process with Advanced Task Killer (this process is only visible with this kind of tool)
- Then, each time I launched an app I verified if Gallery was running too. If yes, I killed it again. Stange thing is that I wasn't able to identify the rules that make it run : sometimes Gallery is launched with app "xxx", sometimes not ! Anyway it's launched at startup.
- Doing this, I'm now with 70% battery after 36 hours !
But, it's a litlle bit boring to have to monitor Gallery each time we use an App...
So, I'm thinking in doing something like this "mv /system/app/Gallery3D.apk /system/app/Gallery3D.BAK" and I will use Astro to visualize pictures.
Anyone knows if it's risky to remove Gallery3D.apk from the system ? I hesitate ...
Thanks !

The problem is known from the SGS. Just install the modded 3d gallery which SGS Tools brings.

Youd did this and you have a good battery life ?
D'ont know if it's very good to use a tool for SGS on a SG3. I'd like to simply remove this app ... But, this would affect others app ? may be ... perhaps not ...
thanks

The G3 is in similiar with the SGS in many parts. The modded gallery was made because of the battery drain bug... so yes it saves battery! You don't have to use it of course when you say "it's not good" to use a SGS App across-the-board (even if you don't know why ).

ok ok ... )
But, I decided to remove Gallery3D from /system/app (and others app too like Layar, Voice dialer, Youtube, Daily info, SamsungApps) and ... it works !
Only thing is that I can't put a picture of mine as a wallpaper. Last Wallpaper I used stays (black). By the way, I heard about a black wallpaper is better for battery.
I will give a feedback of this stuff in 2 days.

No, Gallery runs sometimes even if you use Astro to visualize pic.
But, now I removed Gallery3D ... it's not running more ! obviously
i think it will resolve the problem of battery drain. I don't care about visualizing 3d thumbs of my pic, neither wallpaper, neither live wallpaper. I prefer a good battery autonomy instead of some cute stuff ...
I'm going to use mu phone for 2 days like this (without Gallery3D.apk) and see if everything ok (phone functions and battery drain).

I also facing battery problem using Gallery and all other useless applications for me.
But thanks to Gsam101 , he made a great clean version of JPF. And it is very smooth and I am now not facing any battery problem.
You also can use JustPictures!, it's far better than Gallery provided by Samsung.

So ... After 50 hours without Gallery3D.apk, Froyo says that my battery is at 50% ! I confess I didn't phone a lot ... but it's incomparable with the original battery life.
I haven't noticed any trouble in using my phone during this time.
Also, each time I use an App and exit it (GPS Test or GPS Status for example) I take care to kill the process with ATK. Perhaps this can explain an even better battery life, but Gallery is the main responsible.
Conclusion : If you prefer battery life than wallpapers and cute stuff :
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/st16 /system
cd /system/app
mv Gallery3D.apk Gallery3D.back
mv Gallery3D.odex Gallery3Dodex.back
reboot
and enjoy your SG3 for more time !
Just use Astro or other App to view your pics.
Note : Doing this your last wallpaper will stay and you will not be able to put a personal wallpaper.
Note2: You can try to use the modded Gallery provided by SGS ToolBox but I didn't test it. That's enough for me !

Which apk should be installed? SGS Tool from market? (some menu points not working). How can I change my gallery to modded?
thanks

The app Sgs tools was removed from market. You can find it here on xda forum. The last version is on page 37 (i guess). Download, install, go stock apps option and modded galery. Installed here without problems. Good luck!

Yeah. But gallery not that big issue

can i use the camera hack in the sgs tools for the galaxy 3??

ive completely deleted the GALLERY app from the system thru titanium and use QUICKPIC which is way better and fast in loadin + can use preferred pics for wallpapers and yeah the battery is noticeably better than earlier or in any roms. get about one to one and half day with moderate-extensive use, sync and data is always on and occasional usage of GPS too!!!

My galaxy 3 came with an eclair rom, flashed to froyo JPF. I had a huge battery drain issue on eclair rom but it seems to be fine once I have flashed to froyo, only strange issue is that once the phone is completely charged it drops from 100 to 90% in a matter of 5-6 minutes.......

This is normal, and designed. While charging, the phone isn't constantly kept at 100%(like it used to be), the actual percentage varies (charging stops a bit, then when the battery hits a certain level it starts again). This is due to the fact that keeping the battery at 100% for longer periods of times shortens the battery life.
If you sometimes want it to really be 100%, or you just dont mind the shortened battery life google battery bumping (or something like) for more information.
@clarrkov, the phone doesn't work like that (stock). It doesn't at all register 99% it just skips from 100% to 90% (or 90% to 80%) via triggers depending on the battery voltage. I might be mistaken, but I highly doubt it.

Work in Progress
First of all, props and credit to nycbjr, dasunsrule32 and explodwild for their excellent work that contributed to the development of this ROM.
Make sure you have an AOSP 4.2 compatible recovery such as the twrp version below.
Please make sure you have backups for anything you don't want to lose.
Caution is advised. No promises this will not eat your device and take over your home.
Google apps linked below are the latest PA 4.2.2 version. These have been tested in combination with PA ROMs.
This is a preview of what is to come. we are working hard to tame 4.2, which brought significant changes and bugs.
Please do not ask about features from CyanogenMod, past PA releases or other ROM features. We will continue to add more features as we move toward version 3.x. Current focus is on getting to a 100% stable base.
If you have an issue please make sure it is repeatable, capture logcat/dmesg, etc and post to pastebin or similar.
Installation
Update your recovery to the latest version. Pre 4.2 recoveries can mess up your sd card/storage. We recommend TWRP.
Download TWRP 2.3.2.3 for TF700T: twrp-2.3.2.3-tf700t.blob or the official recovery below.
Official TWRP TF700T XDA Thread
Download pa google apps: http://tinyw.in/vbhe Updated 10-APR-2013
Download rom: http://tinyw.in/BCIG Updated 16-APR-2013
Follow PA on Google+ for changes and other info
Install TWRP from fastboot: "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp-2.3.2.3-tf700t.blob". This step is needed if you do not already have a 4.2+ compatible recovery installed. Older recoveries have been known to cause serious problems including loss of data. Did I mention you should backup anything you care about?
Perform a factory reset in recovery, unless you are already on PA 2.99+
Flash ROM first, then gapps
Wipe dalvik & cache
Reboot and wait, first bootup can take a little time
Enter your Google account info, and follow the screen prompts
Please do not restore system apps, system data and Google apps. This can cause bootloops and other problems due to mismatches coming from CM to AOSP and moving from Android version 4.1.2 to 4.2
Features
Hybrid engine ported, Per App DPI and Per App Layout
Tablet UI back from the dead
Per app color
Quicksettings -> Quicktoggles (updated, expanded)
New recents implementation
We fixed the aosp lag in the recents view, well, most of it
New SystemUI Icons that can cope with transparent bars, thanks go to John Xionidis
See through Lockscreen is back
Transparent bars + Launcher2 modified to cope with it
4.2 Walls and Sounds
Google stock apps
Extended Desktop
GPS
Cameras
Auto-rotate is now working
Dock Keys are now working
Notes
WPA2 Connections with some Hidden SSID's may need the correct Wi-Fi region code to be set from WiFi > Advanced settings.
PER-APP-DPI/LAYOUT
This is not tablet mode! Hybrid engine allows you to target apps individually. You get to pick their actual layouts which can tranform content drastically. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with build.prop hacks or DPI changes. We list all layouts an app brings, you choose one, its as easy as that. It does not matter if your device runs itself in Phone-, Phablet or Tablet-UI, your apps will always look as you like. On top of that you can scale apps, to fit your screen, that way you can even bring full fledged tablet apps and make them run perfectly. Nothing will break, nothing will shrink, your market will be fine. Additionally we have rewritten many parts of the android framework and fixed countless of AOSP bugs to make way for these modifications - our "tablet mode" runs better on a phone than on a real tablet, that is guaranteed.
PER-APP-COLOR
ParanoidAndroid's newest invention. Define apps in your regular hybrid panel. See your phone fade into the color definition of your current app, press home or go elsewhere and it fades back. Create as many combinations you like, you can even dabble with opacity. This feature is made possible by our hybrid engine, which is unique to this rom.

ive been running since last night and havent ran into any crashes, battery drain or stability problems and it runs just as smooth as any of the other roms, im gonna keep it as my daily.

I like how the wallpaper rotates and fills the portrait screen and doenst require any extra program
how can I speed up transitions/animations?
also, will data2sd work with this ROM?
dock doesn't charge the tab

I'm going to follow this one closely and if the user feedback is good I'll definitely install it. I'm very encouraged by the note that there are only two nonworking features so far.

I assume the "Not Yet Working" still applies to the 2.99.9 build here: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/tf700t
I wasn't expecting to see any 2.99.x builds from paranoid for non-nexus devices yet.
I thought I was going to have to buy a Nexus 10 to get any 4.2.1 AOSPA, now I will have to seriously consider the ASUS since they actually have a keyboard dock.

Having tinny audio, anyone have a solution?

one of my main reasons as well of not jumping ship to the Nexus 10 (plus I don't really like the design of the N10...)
I hope progress gets to a point where it is usable. Have loved PA since I started using it in the 1.6 version . havent tried anything else since...

been using this a day now, few issues, mostly dock based. first, no dock battery indicator in controlpanel. second, when typing on keyboard, the suggestions appear on screen, where they didnt in cm10 . other than that awesome for a first version!

Yes, not working still applies. The other build was just to test a change in GooManager functioning. Since I happen to have a TF700T with dock, I have a personal interest in a build for that device. Also have a Nexus 10 on order, so will be working on that platform as well.

Still very early days for 4.2.1 on TF700T. The proprietaries I am using from nycbjr, are based on Nexus 7 as there are no 4.2.1 binaries from Asus. There are also many things specific to the TF700T (such as dock features) that are not yet available. The combination of changing from CM to AOSP source base, along with hwc/binary changes from 4.1 to 4.2 mean that there is still a ways to go, and some areas will require significant effort unless/until Asus releases an update.

One issue I've notice is i have video out but no audio over HDMI. For a preview this is a daily driver in my book in case someone is wondering.

[NEW] Buglist for XXUBMEA I9500

1.Overheating
Improved quite a lot after the update but the issue is still here. I personally think that there is not a lot we can do through firmware updates with regards to the overheating issue other than underclocking and undervolting. So its basically hardware related as my battery performance is great.
2.Launcher redraw is almost gone but I still see it occasionally coupled with a black home screen and the homescreen wallpaper suddenly shows up. The weather widget also disappears sometimes.
3. Screen smearing issue.
To be honest, I think that this is fully hardware related and there is no fix for this issue other than the workaround that involves keeping the LEDs turned on even at black screen, like it was on the S3
4. Gallery lag when opening.
This seriously needs to be fixed. It is such a shame that the gallery app doesn't start instantly considering how even the older generation phones can do it easily.
5. Dialer lag (All famous)
6. Contact app lag
I doubt Samsung will ever fix this dialer and contact app lag. It is almost like they want the apps to lag. When these apps are not in ram, they take a lot of time to open up. Shame on Samsung! Adding features after features but still can't make your basic app to open smoothly. Even an iPhone 3G does better.
7. Ocassional Animation stutter when opening and closing apps.
Its not very noticeable now and happens a lot less frequently than before. Specially when the transition animation is set to 0.5. Maybe I am nitpicking but the issue is still there when you look for it.
Whoever gets any of these issues please keep confirming or adding any more issues I missed. All these issues are currently present in alot of brand new s4 units worldwide.
Sent from a poor GT-I9500 whose software doesn't do its hardware any justice.

1. It's just like any other high-end phone after MEA update. Nothing wrong with the heating.
2. Never seen launcher redraw, only seen the weather widget redraw.
3. Yes, it's hardware related. The screen isn't quick enough in turning on pixels.
4. Are you talking about the 1 second it takes the gallery to open? You prefer to see the picture loading when you in the gallery or wait a second? I prefer how it works now
Much better than the iPhone that sometimes even don't shows the pictures after a long time of waiting...

thank you.

Chrome believes the archive is infected... first time I see such a serious warning in Chrome...
Can you prepare a mirror for the download, it really looks like there is smth wrong with the file.

Installed and working good. Is there a way to change wallpaper? They all turn black.
Edit: The live wallpapers work but none of the standard ones do. Also Google now fc's. Had a random reboot during a Sony game. Other than that very nice.

Gonna test your rom on my TF700T !

Yeah, I have the same problem with the wallpaper too, I downloaded zedge and I got that to work ok. just need to find wallpaper that fits otherwise you get a small picture(meant for phone) in the middle of the screen, but better than black :cyclops:

How does it run?

Chrome has been acting up these last few days I got the same warning for another rom but when I downloaded it on another computer with chrome no such message appeared all you have to do is say keep rather than delete

Hmmm, I am having a slight issue, the battery seems to be draining quickly. When I look at the battery figures, it show awake on, all the time, solid green line with no breaks, it is attached to the dock, and in 24 hours it has totally drained the dock(100% yesterday) and about 30% of the tablet battery.
Hoping someone can suggest something? I may try and look at different kernel? but I am not sure if that is the issue.
Incidentally, I did a clean install, format and wipe cache etc.

Really that is very odd without the dock my tf700 has lost 34 percent in the las 57 hours with 1 hour 15 minutes of screen time

So far I am loving this rom! My only problem is Google plus says it is incompatible with this device. Any ideas?

Wow, that ROM is stunning and shoes by far the best pontential. Far more responsive than the Cronixxxx versions and better battery than CM as well. If you manage to get the annoying bugs out, I am sure you set a new standard here....

Yeah its improper implementation of the gappa will fix it in the next version. Finishing exams tomorrow so I can work on it. If you need a more immediate fix try flashing a part gappa over it.

Good luck with your exams. If your work is just as good as your ROM you will easily pass...
Looking forward to the new Version. So far still the best Transformer ROM out here!

So would your ROM be a similar experience to having a Sony tablet? Been thinking about one to replace my Transformer but definitely want to try this first.

Android N Developer Preview

Get ready for Android N!
In Android N, Android TV users can now watch a video in a pinned window in a corner of the screen when navigating within apps. Picture-in-picture (PIP) mode lets apps run a video activity in the pinned window while another activity continues in the background. The PIP window lets users multitask while using your app, which helps users be more productive.

I was wondering the same thing, didn't see a way to do it. Long pressing the circle button activates the task switcher which is cool. However, I'm having a lot of problems with Archos Video and other apps, so I'm switching back...

Actually there's so little to review so far...
The beta installed over the air after opting in on the Android Beta program page. After that the update came to my Nexus right away, no need to flash anything, it does everything on its own in a very Apple-esque way.
With every boot there's a pop-up reminding you this is Android N beta deveolper thing and blablabla.
Nothing new on the interface whatsoever, and it's totally normal since the Leanback Launcher is the same that Marshmallow has. The settings menu doesn't show in full screen as in Android TV but occupies half the screen and the navigation is more ore less like in a phone, you have to scroll down instead of sideways. Nothing new on the settings app that I'm aware of.
Regarding what's new, I've only seen that an app-switching option shows up if the circle button is long pressed, and you can switch between recently opened applications just as it would be on any Android by pressing the square on the bottom right.
The apps I've used (Archos Video and YouTube) show a pop-up citing errors about libraries and dependencies not present for some reason, but so far that hasn't affected the usage of the app themselves. However there's an odd thing: The video plays "smoother" that it should, as if some kind of pixel interpolation was present. The very same apps with the very same video files, boot the looks are as if you were watching a soap opera. I think this is related to the Nexus Player itself, or it's decoding hardware. I think I've read something about that here, citing frame interpolation of some sort.
Any ways, not much to review yet. The update it's crude, not even half baked and so far there's no reason for anyone to use it because it contains nothing worth of leaving the stable MM. I have yet to see the Picture in Picture mode, but have no clue on how to enable it.

I'm not liking how long pressing the home button changed to recently opened apps.
It was nice being able to use long press in Marshmallow for HDMI-CEC functions (like turning my TV on and switching the TV input to the player).
I notice the Android TV remote app doesn't work yet with "N".

Well, i did the noobiest thing. so I flashed the image on my np because i wanted to try it with twrp recovery, because i wanted to try it, but it all worked fine, but i forgot to flash the supersu file as well, so i lost root, and it flashed the stock N recovery, even though i KNOW that i didnt flash that in recovery. Is there anyway that i can fix this w/o PC? e.g. a oneclickroot, or something? cause im only 14 and my brother puts viruses on the PC but they think that i do it since hes young and they say that he doesnt know how but he does.......... my email is [email protected]

I also did notice that the remote app is not working. N is pretty rough and I will be switching back today, maybe I'll try one of the custom 6.1 roms instead of rolling to stock MM

The frame interpolation/soap opera effect was present in marshmallow also. The setting to change it is "developer options : general : hdmi optimization" set to "best resolution" for normal, "best framerate" for interpolation.

Problem is that the option isn't available in N's dev options.

Getting the "libraries and dependencies" warning in a couple apps as well, but like you noted has not affected performance.

How stable is Dev Preview 2? Anyone having any issues with it? The main thing I am wondering is if you are able to re-arrange apps on the home screen. That is the one thing I didn't like about stock marshmallow and is what has me on a custom rom. The only issue, the ROM isn't all that stable but I don't want to run stock for this one reason.
