[Discussion][Perseus Kernel][GT-I9500]

To keep Andrei from going crazy with non-development related questions, I've opened the following thread. That way we keep the development thread for development topics and this for general discussion.

Good deal.
First feature request: Fading in/out LEDs! I've pinged the dev for LightFlow, and while he can implement it on a software level, it would be supremely inefficient and probably drain the battery like crazy.

Actually that's something which belongs in the dev thread. If anything you can just post on the issue tracker on Github, I've grown vary of XDA.
There's a new TI LED controller so I can't port the old Philips controls from the old phones. I'll rewrite it eventually but I got other things to do now.

Done, posted on Github!

just got my s4 one day ago. rooted immediately, flashed omega7.0 and the latest perseus. did not touch anything on the u/v in stweak. no o/c as well. but the antutu score is so low 21000+, i thought it at least supposed to be 27000+?
i tried adam kernel, had the same result. is that normal? did i miss anything?

thanks for you response. as i mentioned i got it only one day, without touching anything on u/v & o/c. i guess this is considered lower score than the stock one? i merely care about bench mark, i just want to know is this normal? or i need few days to let it settle down? fyi, i tried more than 10 times and it only score between 20k-21k. perhaps you can be kind enough to give me some idea rather than congrats me.

It is normal for benchmark to be lower than on stock kernel all devices differ. Following the development of this kernel it has been stated that the kernel is not intended for high benchmarks but more for overall stability, smoothness and better battery life.
Benchmarks is just a number and a high benchmark does not always mean your phone is smooth and performs very well under normal user conditions.
Hope this answers your question and should I be mistaken about anything anyone welcome to rectify me on those points.

i never meant that perseus is running low on benchmark, in fact, it's the highest between chainfire's cfroot, wanam's adam. i tried all these 3 kernel, all score only between 19k-21k. i just wonder if i have accidentally limited my cpu speed? i will do a factory reset and re-test it.
again, i dont or merely care about benchmark, i just care if my s4 is running normally.

I have kanged Andrei's response with respect to benchmarks.

Benchmark freaks can enable the boost mode manually: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/boost_mode .
The first throttling speed is 1400MHz and that's why it spends a lot of time there during benchmarking.
Effectively, overclocking on this device makes very little sense unless you can achieve more thermal headroom with undervolting. I personally couldn't get over 1.8GHz on random loads, and couldn't get over 1.7GHz on benchmarking (Antutu 31300).
Nevertheless, the option is there for people who want to stick their phones into their freezers. For everybody else, stop being concerned about numbers.
This seems to affect only a rare number of people and I still don't know the cause. Just cycle the screen once and be done with it.

@Power, What rom are you running? I suspect it's rom related.
I'm using omega 7, one of the user experienced the same as mine. Going to flash new rom.

Got only one info that is this update reduces heat/thermal algorithm improvement.
I wonder there has been a marginal battery life improvement(not sure though) as the earlier version 6.5.4.0 I felt that battery drain was high.
Thanks

Just my thought! I feel as if I'm getting more screen time with the same kind of usage after the 6.5.5.0 update. Shared my usage details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60970024
Battery (screen time)
The phone also seems slower than before. Maybe they've tweaked the cpu governor parameters to make it less aggressive, making it cooler but at the cost of snappiness.

Yes this update was mainly for the overheating issues from the above two comments it seems this is update is doing good and i agree on the screen time to maybe others should help by giving their reviews with the new update

I saw significant improvement in battery drain after the 6.5.5.0 update. Prev it used to drain approx 1% every 10-15 minutes on idle, now its quite stable and sticking up longer!

Hello,
I just received my Mi 4i. I wonder why my MIUI version is different: 16.5.3.0(LXIMICD) I Stable...any idea? How may I can move to 6.5.5.0?
Thanks

[Q] Mi4i major performance and heating issues.

Could someone please help me with performance issues on xiaomi mi 4i?
I keep every electronic device in my surroundings well- tuned but this device of mine
hardly gives 34000 score on 64bitantutu benchmark in performance mode, not only poor in
benchmarks but certain games like asphalt 8 even lag like **** on medium settings when on performance mode. Is this a make issue? Should I return this phone to flipkart? Any suggestions? I have maximally optimised this phone especially for running heavy games and that was the sole purpose to purchase it.
I am new to xda developers, and this is my first thread.

I get about 3.9k score on antutu and saw a post here abt someone getting the same score I haven't played that game but its a very high end game I would expect a few lags coz this is not a high end phone also wait for a few updates the recent updates have made the phone laggy for everyone they might fix that

Which miui version are you currently on man?
Also, I got hardly 10gb internal storage free once freshly unboxed the phone.
And there are major stutters on medium settings playing in performance mode itself!!! I have seen people play it on high with ease on this phone.

The latest 6.5.6 ( the most laggy update lol)
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk

I seem to have the issue slightly fixed! This somewhat works for me.
I turned all the animation scales in developer options to 0.5x.
This phone doesn't seem to heat much now in daily usage.
Major stutters seemed to decrease in asphalt 8.
Idk but I am not able to change memory optimization setting in developer options. (It remains on medium anyhow.).

Any other suggestions?

Guys update to new version. It you haven't received the OTA, check out this link here. This update is really good. Major changes
http://en.miui.com/thread-129452-1-1.html

I installed 6.6.1.0 by not having tried the previous version, cuz my phone is new. And I'm SHOCKED about the performance of the device! Had a Galaxy S4 i9506 with Snapdragon 800 before which was running WAY more fluid?! Could it really be, that the 615 is THAT much slower and less snappy? Or is this all about the not-so-well-built MIUI6 on this device? I REALLY hoped the MI4I would be a good replacement...

antutu benchmark score while running AICP

When I first got my moto x pure 2015 my phone was scoring anywhere from 71000 - 72000. That was on stock. I just installed aicp for the 2nd time a couple of nights ago and it scored 78268 on antutu benchmark. That's awesome performance with this phone. I've installed every custom rom for this phone and aicp has gave me the most solid all around good scores along with the performance to match. I love every ROM that has been made for this phone though. I know that chosing aosp/cm based ROMs may make you go without certain features such as moto voice and display but it always makes up for all of that and then some in the long run with a lot better performance and some bad ass tweaks

Try to cool it down for a while by not using it at all and then test it again when it's cool, there will be difference.

P9 Oreo experience (AL10, EMUI 8.0, OTA update)

Hi guys,
The only fortunate thing for using a Chinese domestic variant model in North America is I get the OTA update.
You guys have probably seen the EMUI8.0 a lot so I won't discuss too much about how it looks. Personally I don't see a huge change except for the icons and settings app. It does feel more smooth during transition animations. But sometimes I do feel a lag or hang during some operation, which is not cool. Note that I restarted a few times after OTA update was completed.
Though my batter is old and broke, but at least the stock camera app does not cause my phone to hang completely or restart, which is an improvement over B399 when battery level > 50%.
Android Auto is still a pain in the butt. Google play music doesn't work. Waze is causing issues too. jetAudio is the only option if you want to listen to music in Android Auto compatible cars.
I don't see significant battery life improvement comparing to B399.
Thanks for reading. See attachment for screenshot.

Post some screenshot about the changed UI

I believe that corrective updates will happen.

Not yet but ill give a try to debrand to AL00 and upgrade with AL00c00B520 cause there are some fixes where users was unable to connect to any 4g network. Ill report back in the following days.
What i am thinking after that is to check if indeed android O activates tremble on P9 and try few GSI images. This way i ll understand if the problem is in the vendor.img or something else is missing when it comes to networks.
Bloody blobs.mk
gonna download from here and test some builds

Note:
Maybe modifying/rebuild the vendor from released sources and replacing few things will actually work. It goona take time but hopefully im not gonna brick my last P9
Wish me good luck.

@vampirian Check GSI build for fix, or use H8 ones. You checked emui + hwemui folder?

Did they solve issues within battery stats with "Systemandroid" (or in other languages "Android OS" etc - the one under which there is "multiple applications")? I hope they did, I am tired of this issue. Even if SOT is ok..

This problem doesnt exist with android 8 or 8.1.
Mostly because the firmware is using AI to understand how you are using your device and then its making the correct setttings. For an example while the first day with oreo my battery lasted 8 hours after 3 days it was 15 hours. And that will readjust after a while

No noticable differences as I don;t play games or run a lot of apps at the same time. Daily use experience is better than 399.
