Root [ROM][BETA][4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 for Virgin Mobile and Sprint 6/27/2014

Havent checked Google Services - maybe that is the problem.

Google+ was using a lot of battery. I unchecked the status updates and battery life is slightly better. Now, Google Play Services is using 83% of the power - same issue that JumpinJupiter reported. Anyone find a setting to reduce this usage?

I found out its a wakelock problem. I turned off keep awake. (Allowed 1542 times denied 7 times) turned off wake up ( allowed 1540 times lol) and turned off location for now.

The same settings for clock i put as allows ask. Doing this and keeping the phone in 1x when it is struggling for a signal(The phone will start to heat) Should help battery.

The google services include
Google Contact sync
Google Backup Transport
Google Account Manger
Google service Framework
Google Play services

Still reports its using like 85% when the screen is off. I tried disabling it and it still uses like 67%! When i disabled Google services it also uninstalled an update. I renabled it and Its now longer eating my battery life! So try unistalling the update.

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Also download wakelock detector. Enable advance mode by settings. This will show you anything else that may be eating battery life. Now mediaserver is using 24%. I haven't done anything that should trigger it so It is problem something courrupted like a music file. I will clean the internal and report back.

 

[saidiadude]

Hmmm. Here's what I tried (some people have reported issues with Google Search and the wakelock problem):

Settings->Privacy->Privacy Guard-> Google Search
Keep Awake shows "Never used" but I changed permissions to "Denied" anyway.

I also clicked on the "shield" next to Google Plus. Modify Contents was accessed 1854 times 7 hours ago!

Will report back also.

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Media server using 9% now. I deleted some corrupt music and tried to look for anything that was 0bytes. The only thing I found was a file called .nomedia I deleted it but later put it back because i found out it was O.K.

 

[saidiadude]

That's great.

Battery life on my phone has improved quite a bit as well. Now losing about 10% per hour with light/no use. Now the only issue is the outdated GPS app. Can you access the "Contacts" tab from within the GPS app?

 

[Zeroastros]

Is the transparent status bar working?

 

[Jack Mickey]

Phenom strikes again;!! Dude u are awesome. Thanx for the BT fix man!

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Is the transparent status bar working?

Yes enable developer mode by taping the buildnumber enough times. Then enable force high end graphics.

Down to losing 5% per hour with no/little use now. Only lost about 5% overnight with the phone off.

I lost like 7% after taken it off the charger with light usage. Have you tried undervolting? The phone can stablily undervolt all the frequencies to 600mV. Thats almost half as much as it normally uses.

I had to make a few guesses as to where these go. Here's my local manifest. I don't know if I put the kernel in the right spot.

I also had a problem with extract-files.sh.

./extract-files.sh: 427: ./extract-files.sh: ./setup-makefiles.sh: not found

Is that OK?

You have to Pm phenomx4 if you want a response.
I might Pm you. I have some questions about building rom and getting things set up as well.

I'm no expert, but I'm learning. PM me if you want to. So far I have compiled a successful build of CyanogenMod 11 for the Motorola Droid 4.

I edited the paths for you and for the extract-files.sh, did you cd into the device folder? (m3s)

 

[Member1725666]

Thanks phonomx4!!! Yes, I did cd to m3s to run "extract-files.sh". I don't have a "setup-makefiles.sh" in that folder. Do you have one? Where is it? Can I just ignore that and build? Thanks man!

 

[saidiadude]

I lost like 7% after taken it off the charger with light usage. Have you tried undervolting? The phone can stablily undervolt all the frequencies to 600mV. Thats almost half as much as it normally uses.

Thanks. Does undervolting affect the phone's ability to pickup/lock onto a cell phone signal? I live in an area where the signal is not that great to start with.

No. undervolting to 50mv should be okay for now.

I'll upload the vendor files when I can. If you build without it I doubt it'll boot.

Nevermind I looked into it and undervolting too much will messes up the calculations making it have to do it again which is why my battery was worse -50mv should be good

Thanks. I think I'll leave it alone for now. I'm satisfied with the performance of the ROM now.

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Yeah each frequency has a certain undervolt. I was able to get -75mv for 1.8 and 1.7 but when I change them all it crashes at -50.(-25mv is fine) So I am going to try to find the frequency that is causing this and disable it. 900MV is the lowest so hopefully I can get 600mhz to that and disable 245-500(Probable causing the crash)

Then I will try to tell you if the battery life is better. If the O.E supported an app this would be alot easier then doing it from the terminal.

 

[JumpinJupiter]

I was able to use the phone for about 2 hours with fairly consistent screen on and stayed on 100%

The phone however did eventually though crash when I put it on 3G to activate on the go and 1.8 and 1.7 were -75.

Meh for now I will just keep it all on -25 and see if it crashes on that..... If stable then I will try -50mv.on 1.8 and 1.7 Testing undervolting does take a while lol

Okay it keeps resetting to the stock speeds even when all is at -25 not sure what to do about that

 

[GeneticMarbleZM]

I know that 4.4.4 doesn't come with the option to move apps to the internal storage or SD card but is there a way to do so? Maybe a patch or something?

 

[Zeroastros]

What's the music patch for?
Previously I flashed this ROM and while playing music with earphone's the audio went from the earphones to the speaker. Not a big deal but is this patch for this fix?
Second What's the best launcher for this ROM? I have nova prime currently
