Testing. So far every 4.3 ROM had power issues draining loads of power over night. Hoping this one doesn't.
The ROM itself looks good. Tablet UI is available and fully customizable. Really nice and quick.

Did you look whether certain apps cause the power drain?

Did you try Greenify to eliminate power drain in standby?

Can't say I've noticed this.

I did check for apps draining yes. I have yet to try greenify though.

I will try and check over the next night how much power drain i'll get.

Again: This was not with this ROM. Might be all good.

new build up

camera fixed

Been using the 4.2.2 version of the ROM and I must commend you. Brilliant work, I don't have the time to test the
4.3 alpha builds because I'm using my tablet for school work so I need something stable. Keep up the good work :thumbup:

Sent from my Venom Infected One X

Awesome! Running without many major hitches so far on my WiFi Tab Z No GPS at this point though?

Also, camera doesn't seem to work. Gives cannot connect error.

Something is not right with my battery usage i think. This is a clean install. I installed greenify to see if it helps but it doesn't:

Seems an awful lot of battery usage for android system.

well mine is on since 4 days. without charge.

 

[Jequan]

well mine is on since 4 days. without charge.

Mine could do that. I loose about 1% per hour if the tablet is not used.
I did use it to watch tv and browse the web.
It's just strange that that most of the energy went to android system. Usually most juice is used up by the display is it not?

If this ain't normal i willwipe everything again completely and reinstall.

 

[hasenbein1966]

Man, you most probably simply have some synchronization or messaging app or background service running which drains the battery.

Install, for instance, "Wakelock Detector" and find out what is consuming battery in standby. Then either deactivate / uninstall it or use Greenify to tame it.
It's definitely NOT "simply Android going nuts" which sucks the battery empty.

I'll check out wakelock detector. Thanks.

Edit: Installed the app and watched overnight. There is no app active. The tablet is never in deepsleep though. Shouldn't it go into deepsleep?

 

[573W1E]

Can't seem to boot into recovery with this ROM. LED goes yellow and the screen stays blank after the AOKP logo. Tried using the advanced power menu to get to recovery and tried pressing Volume UP while the LED is purple also but they both lead to that blank screen with yellow LED. Device still boots normally after a hard reset.

Any suggestions?

When I click on download filename, it just downloads a 26kb "zip link"

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Sorry - looks like it's a setting or problem with my AOSP browser. Just clicked on the link on my PC and it takes me to the download host site.:silly:

(had to do this as a post - XDA post editing seems to be broken tonight

 

[hasenbein1966]

On Android devices, Firefox is the only browser which can handle all download links properly. Next time try it.

 

[joe.cole1]

I am having an issue. Whenever I select "Device options" from settings, Settings crashes.

Also, how active is development on this? The last nightly was a few days ago, but the one before that almost a month earlier?

edit: I take it back - a new nightly was just posted!

 

[mrjayviper]
