Double Boooooo!
I'm very frustrated. I'm hoping you guys might be able to shed some light with a request I made at the end of this post...
I've installed the "Tweaked" ROM here and of course Perseus is not one of the options. I flashed Perseus and along with it comes STweaks. My problem is that STweaks messes with my microphone sensitivity tremendously. It's not like it's just a little jacked up. It's VERY jacked up and it's ONLY noticeable when, during a phone conversation, I switch my phone to hands free (enabling speakerphone) and then the people I'm speaking to say I sound horrible. In the 'Audio' tab of STweaks, under the 'Microphone Control' section there are 3 sliders to adjust. Here is where you can adjust the mic sensitivity. By default the microphone sensitivity for speaker phone is so sensitive that my words are almost not discernible and virtually everyone on the other end of the call are horrified by it. So I sent myself a message to my own voicemail to experience what my callers were experiencing. Horrible.
After spending hours sending myself tons of voicemails after tweaking the microphone settings over and over again, I came to what I thought was a decent balance. That is.....until I stopped testing under my Wi-Fi Calling and stepped outta the house for a little while and used the external speaker over cellular. Then people couldn't hear me right.
I use Titanium Backup for restoration, so I'm always doing a full wipe and format on my phone without hesitation nor reservation. So after re-flashing the ROM and flashing Perseus, I get the same results all the time. Audio is perfect using other multiple kernels. Just not with Perseus.
Please help me, if you can.
I wish I could use Perseus without STweaks entirely and have the microphone portion defaulted to how stock is set to.
I've reflashed the ROM. Installed STweaks in advance - froze the application with Titanium Backup then flashed Perseus afterwards in hopes that Perseus wouldn't see STweaks. Still the same audio compromises.
Is it possible that Perseus is picky of which ROMs it is installed into? Could a ROM contribute to this?
After charging my cell to 100%,unplugged the phone as I went to bed, I woke up exactly 6 hours later and Persues only used up 1% of battery while on stand-by, unplugged and Wi-Fi turned on the whole time with apps hibernated using Greenify. That's impressive. But audio stops me from enjoying this kernel.
Could someone please flash Tweaked on their phone for me, install Persues as-is, call up some close loved ones, put them on speakerphone or even leave yourself a voicemail, play it back and tell me what you hear and let me know if I'm doing something wrong? I hope it's not a ROM thing, as I've seen other people supposedly use this kernel on Tweaked and I had not seen a complaint. But then did they use speaker phone?
Please?
Thanks so much!

I've tried different kernels on my N2. For me, nothing beats stock. The idea to me was that custom anything should make things better not take away features. I love the work the devs do here at XDA. Been here when Android was still a word in a book written by that guy who wrote I, Robot. Sometimes you can't improve upon the perfection. The Note 3 is prefection.

So this thread is now unlocked.... I'm hoping this means an imminent 4.3 kernel drop. The Perseus on 4.1 was the bomb and no other kernel could ever compare to the battery and performance I received on this kernel. Stock is good, but sometimes stock keeps my phone from deep sleeping due to Android OS running.

I guess I had to write this some time or another. I just also put this into the main thread.I checked the original thread, but it's 100 pages long; It'd take me forever to go through it. I like understanding the settings so I can custom tailor things to my liking; and the variable names themselves aren't very indicative of what they change to someone who hasn't seen them before. But if I can't find a table showing the variables and what they represent, then I hope at least I can get some help with a specific change I'd like to do.
I ask because I am noticing a bit of a pause when it ramps up the processor from idle. I notice it most when I swipe the home screen using ADWLauncher EX. The first swipe sort of chugs a bit, but afterwards it becomes glass smooth, so I figure it's a ramping issue where the kernel's wound down the cores to rest and when I interact with it it's not winding them up again fast enough; probably not stepping up fast enough.
I want to change the settings a bit so that in the initial step it'll wind up over what's necessary, and then wind down to what's needed. It'll improve apparent response time, and with how much this battery lasts, spending a bit more is not an issue to me. Any idea or help on doing this change will be very appreciated.
Thanks for any help, and my apologies if this has been answered before; the forums are a bit hard to navigate sometimes.
You either have power savings mode turned on or there is something else wrong in your side settings wise. The kernel is fine. Also the benchmarks you did were perfectly normal, and you're just pulling those One S scores out of your ass:Well I willz say this I don't run my phone hot or until it get warm, I have done tests at different times Using Antutu.... and I just downloaded the app youve mentioned to run a test on stock kernal to do another light comparison and I note seeing the 58 fps oncreen one of the test and 67 off the results, im just simply glancing over, and by the way my past htc phones used to hit the same 58 to 61 fps until ived gotten a better kernal, im not a expert or anything but I do think its funny that I see the same numbers even when I use a different apps, but any that was the stock kernal, I will be switching back to yours, by th why? do you think my phone is hot right now? not trying to be funny seriously what is too hot to thermald? Everytime I used the performance gov at what I think is normal temperature I get that 8000 score

And lofl here comes another test with your lastest kernal version, the only thing I done on this phone in the past few hours is what I have just mentioned in my previous post my phone is not hot or warm to the hand and I do not have to big stupid case on it to where I cant feel heat, ON performance governor I gotten a score slighty over 9000 thousand a new world record but it should be near double that,...... second I used your glbench and guess what the same results buddy 58 fps onscreen and 69 off... are you testing this? so glbench and antutu bench says the same thing, so we cant blame antutu for not testing the graphics correctly, so seriously pal I think you should look at your work again with all do respect to you and your hard work, because in the end I can't do what you do, and I appreciate you devs, however as I mentioned in my very first post I hardly say anything, and when I do its something good, something isnt right I dont know what it is, you are the man and im nobody, what I do know is antutu and glbench throwing back the same numbers and my phone is not hot, im running a stock rom like always lightly modified with your kernal
