If ROMs are cm based, they've been off since June. Did you try GPS settings under "other" tweaks in stweaks?

Is anyone having slower than normal GPS lock on 4.5? I have been in Stweaks and ran GPS tests and have 10-12 in view and still won't lock for at least 45 seconds . The after I get a lock I retest and it still can get a quick lock.

I havent had a fast GPS lock on any ROM except cooked. 45 seconds is about right for me. I use run keeper every day, just wait for lock. Its these ROMs I think.

Also use GPS test app, go to settings, clear agps then update agps. It helps immensely.

Did you follow AJ's flashing instructions? Go into recovery clear cache's reset stweaks profile and fix permissions. Then reboot.. Also make sure you downloaded the right kernel for your rom.

Just FYI I have zero issues when running PACman.

Off course there are no issues lol.. I downloaded again in case it was a bad download. I'm running rc1 pac for i777 with 4.3 mic swap oc and its perfect. The only thing i did different going to 4.5 aosp was flash your kernel cleaning sript, before starting with the instruction in the op... That's it. I was getting stuck on the kernel logo for ever... I'll try it again just in case it was a bad download. Thank always for your work :)

I downloaded again 4.5 aosp just in case it was a bad download, and reflashed without the aj kernel cleaner this time and voila, booted right up. Not sure if it was a bad download or just the kernel cleaner but something went bunkers before. I'm all good now. Thanks again AJ for keeping my dinosaur alive and kicking @$$ still :good:

Then you have issues that are not related to this kernel. You may very well have some wakelocks or something similar that needs to be addressed.

All things being equal, you will get better battery life using this kernel. It has been proven over & over again :)

I realized I hadn't set my WiFi to sleep when screen off. That might be the problem. Otherwise I've been thrilled with this kernel and Carbon Rom. Thanks for your hard work!

Based on this are there any tweaks I should do? Trying to learn. I'm not a gamer but I'm a heavy user of phone apps so I'm looking for battery optimization over speed.

Sometimes setting WiFi to auto-sleep can make your battery life worse so please be careful with that setting.

For example, if an app needs/wants to make an internet connection and for any reason it cannot connect to the internet then it will create a wakelock and prevent the phone from entering deep sleep until the internet connect is established and the app does what it needs to do.

If you have any issues with battery life make sure that you are getting at least 90% deep sleep when not using your phone - you can check this with Better Battery Stats which is available for free here on XDA. My phone isnow getting 98%+ deep sleep on AJK v4.5 and all of my apps Greenified. Greenify is free on the Play Store and this alone makes a HUGE difference if you Greenify all of your apps.

There is a ton of great info in this thread regarding battery draining programs and how to identify them.

Of course, if your phone is having deep sleep issues we'll all be happy to help you track it down if you provide some Better Battery Stats screenshots .

Slim 8.1 and AJK 4.5 is runnin fricken great here...I knew it wud be stable and smooth but the transitions and opening of apps n such is blazing fast! I surely do not know how it can get better! Of course I say that on every single release that AJ graces us with!

Thanks AJ and testers AGAIN!

Assuming that you are getting a decent deep sleep % and have no wakelocks, the single biggest way to improve battery life is to reduce the screen brightness.

Go into Stweaks and navigate to the Screen tab, then scroll down til you find GAMMA SHIFT and set this to -10 to -20 .. the darker the screen the better the battery life can be. As a general rule, keep the screen as dark as you can while still having it visible and functional.

Some other battery saving tips would include:
Set Stweaks->CPU->MAX NORMAL FREQUENCY to 800MHz. This works fine on my phone, but some people may need to bump this to 1000MHz for some apps.

Do not use Slide2Wake as this does increase battery consumption by 10% to 20% depending on which touchscreen your device has.

Make sure that you are using ZZMOOVE as your CPU-TUNING (SLEEP) governor as it gets the best deep sleep %.

Go to Stweaks->Tweaks and scroll down to the BATTERY-TWEAKS & ECO-TWEAKS settings and enable these, and just below that set the ECO-LEVEL to 30% or 40% or 50% (I personally use 30% but I never have battery issues really). This will try to extend your battery life once you reach the preset battery % (it auto-tunes some things in the background to try to extend battery life once it kicks in).

Use Greenify to Greenify all your apps. This usually makes a noticeable difference.

These are the wakelocks I'm experiencing. I don't know what the 1st one is especially. 5.6/hr is better than I was getting (7 something the last few days) :thumbup:

    NOTE: Changelog information for builds prior to v3.2 was somehow deleted while the thread was closed (at my request...) for a short while.
    I will try to recover the lost changelog information and add it as I can.
    Changelog:

    v5.0 (in development)
    Updated ROM compatibility - now works on all current ROMs
    Fixed SoD when using ZZMOOVE as sleep governor
    Imported the latest Samsung ramdisk files
    Fixed an issue where profiles might be reset
    - Any further profile issue MUST be due to a ROM or rogue app issue.
    - The logs I have seen are indicating that the profile was deleted by something. Kernel is not capable of this...


    v4.9
    Fixed JB_Sound_Fix on Samsung based ROMs
    Fixed a small profile issue
    Fixed an issue with CPU grouping
    Improved ROM compatibility
    Misc fixes & tweaks
    New battery profile
    New performance profile - Highly recommended! Great performance & very good battery life!
    GPIO pin definitions fixed
    There's more but I forgot to write it down as I went...

    v4.8
    Small FileSystem tweak
    Improved ROM compatibility
    Disabled the boot logo for now

    v4.7
    Fixed various issues with CM10.1.3 RC2
    Sync'd CM10.x init files with CM sources
    Set ROOT to default ON for CM10.2
    Updated ZZMOOVE to v0.7d
    Set default profile sleep scheduler to BFQ
    New Battery profile, based on ZZMOOVE v0.7d
    New boot logo by Teknodad1974

    v4.6
    Tuned battery & performance profiles a bit
    Tweaked CortexBrain
    Fixed a small profile bug
    Updated ZZMOOVE governor
    -new ZZMOOVE governor is VERY smooth (smoothest gov I have found), uses slightly more battery than Hyper.


    v4.5
    Nice new boot logo by Teknodad1974
    Recovery background remains plain black to make it easier to read recovery text
    Fixed a small issue with recovery
    Added exFAT support
    Updated governors & i/o schedulers
    Updated profiles
    Updated Stweaks
    Added the Dorimanx implementation of CPU Voltage Groups. This will let people see why some phones UV easily and some cannot UV.


    v4.4
    Added support for Android 4.3
    Some code cleanup
    Tweaked touchscreen and display to improve smoothness

    v4.3
    Reverted part of the frequency cleanup as it caused a slight hesitation in the UI

    v4.2
    Bugfix - corrected CPU frequency table
    Boots & settles in much faster now

    v4.1
    Undervolting has been given a reprive thanks to topiratiko & samprocat
    Use UV with CAUTION and expect no support when using UV
    CPU frequency table has been tuned down to 6 primary frequencies for efficiency
    CPU voltages have been corrected in the profiles to account for the new frequency table
    Fixed mic swapping (MicSwap version only, obviously)
    Due to the changes made to the CPU frequency table and the CPU voltage table,
    it is CRITICAL that you follow the installation instructions exactly as outlined here.
    S959G users please ask for assistance from more experienced S959G users
    if you need assistance..
    PLEASE do not just ignore the need for profile resets!

    This version will start off slow (possibly VERY SLOW) and will speed
    up as it settles in. First boot can take a LONG time. This is both normal and expected.


    v4
    Project "SMOOTH UI" is now complete!
    You should notice better performance in every way. If not, you're doing something wrong!
    Fixed poor performance on Samsung ROMs - they did not like the OOM settings in v3.9 .
    Any trouble reports that do not include a logcat will be ignored.

    v3.9
    New boot logo by Teknodad1974
    Corrected the context on the Stweaks->Screen tab
    Removed BLN "blink" and "fade" options as they do not work on our phones
    Added a new "AJK Tweaked" OOM profile (Stweaks->Memory tab)
    Most people will see a nice improvement from the new OOM profile
    Slide2wake fix should be functional now
    Ad-Block is expanded & updated. This is a complete ad blocking solution now
    Ad-Block can be added/removes d in Stweaks->Other
    Ad-Block can be updated automatically via setting in Stweaks->Other

    v3.8
    AKA: THE ONE
    Nightmare has been tuned and should be much more stable now
    Added ZZMOOVE governor by ZaneZam (a great battery or sleep governor)
    New topiratiko tuned profile
    MAJOR smoothness improvements made by Project "SMOOTH UI"
    Re-added Touchscreen Sensitivity setting in Stweaks
    Added touchscreen revision detect button in Stweaks -> Screen
    Added additional touchscreen settings for different touchscreen type

    Many thanks to the testing team for working hard and relaying good
    information for me to build upon. :highfive:

    Special thanks to topiratiko for providing invaluable information
    and letting me bug him into the wee hours of the mornings
    testing new kernels. :good:

    WiFi toggle bug is a thing of the past (has been for weeks now on AJK actually...)
    Slide2Wake is now disabled while you are on a call.
    New Mali V2 drivers - best graphics performance on the i777.
    S4 code implemented for WiFi.

    I will have to populate this later as it somehow got removed while
    my thread was locked for maintenance.

    Touchscreen Tuning process

    1. Open ExTweaks
    2. Select Screen tab
    3. Go to "Batt Move Filter", increase it BY ONE and apply
    4. Test it, if it still stutter, increase ONE STEP ONLY and apply
    5. Repeat step 4 till the stutter/jitter is gone. Don't set it too high as it'll result the touchscreen capability lost
    6. If "Batt Move Filter" is OK without any jitter again, connect your charger and go to "Chrg Move Filter"
    7. Repeat step 4 till you satisfied and again: DON'T SET IT TOO HIGH, ONLY INCREASE TILL THE JITTER/STUTTER IS GONE

    Do this at your own risk!
    If you lost the touch capability caused by too high value then you will need to reset ExTweaks profile in recovery.

    I can say its different for each device as the test shown:
    -My S2: Batt Filter 16 & Chrg Filter 50, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
    -My son's S2: Batt Filter 13 & Chrg Filter 46, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
    -My daughter's S2: Batt Filter 14 & Chrg Filter 48, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.

    Dev-Host links have been added for AJK v4.9 downloads. Many thanks to those who have provided mirrors after Goo completely screwed up my stuff.

    Looks like next year will be yet another interesting one for SII users.

    Here's hoping that all of you have a safe & happy holiday season!
