9h37min screen time from 100 to 7 percent (reading and some web surfing only)!

P.S. Sorry, this was on the previous ROM. Still need to check out this one.

Is it possible to flash this rom over official CM12.1? Kind curious.
It worked for me earlier on... maybe two months ago. I don't have it on me right now (yes, I save them all to external SD card) so I couldn't tell you the date I used, but that's useless at this point anyhow.

Downloading, will report later.
Until MM is stable enough don't think it is that useless, cm12.1 works nicely on gpad.
By "useless", I meant whether it worked for me two months ago is somewhat useless info since it happened two months ago and would be stale info. I am still on the 12.1 builds and enjoying the heck out of them!

Hi,

I have randomly that screen switch off, but touch is still working. Its not a "real" switch off, cause knocking-on gesture does not awake screen again. I have to press powerbutton to switch off screen completely and again press powerbutton to reactivate screen.
This happened 5-8 times since I have installed 21th build. Previous builds without any issues (since 1-2 months now). Can anybody confirm this issue? Its not in a special app or just while typing, it happens randomly even once on homescreen.

I also had some black screen moments on the 21/11 build. I had dirty flashed over the previous build.
A wipe of cache and dalvik in recovery seems to have solved the problem totally.

But now we have a new build already. Thanks for your work.

I am unable to download the latest build using CM Updater. MD5 verification failure.

You can update from AFH.

I am currently testing if the External Storage read ahead value has any effects on the frequency of the sdcard unmounts during sleep mode. The current value of the read ahead on the external sdcard is 512kb. This "read ahead" value can be changed using a free program called Kernel Adiutor.

Instructions:

Open side menu in Kernel Adiutor and select "I/O Scheduler"
Under External Storage, select 1024kb and select "Apply on boot".

If you are experiencing sdcard unmounts during sleep mode, please let us know if changing the default read ahead value of 512kb to 1024kb has any improvements.

Installed the rom through the night and today faced a problem - no Wi-Fi at home at least as my AP showed out of range. Could see neighbours AP'S but not mine.

Now going to work set up the usual hotspot on my phone and could connect to it but none of the Google apps (Gmail, plus, YouTube, etc) connected to the Internet, all the others worked. (edit: this one is solved, the date changed back to 1961, corrected and can connect)

Flashed the rom directly from official cm12.1, installed the gapps I had on the tablet (2/3 months old) and flashed kitkat bootloader followed from a dalvik/cache wipe.

Any ideas?

I always used 1024kB with my old card and still got unmounts.
interestingly I got dismounts with 3 different sdcards, they all got the same brand (sandisk) and were labeled as "extreme xyz"
one older samsung card worked fine no matter what. now i got a new samsung card (evo) and again it works like a charm.
i also had cards of different size, or tried to change my filesystem/cluster size... only the brand/performance change helped.

i just found an older fujifilm sdcard, if i find the time i will test it, too.

Thanks for the info. Instead of increasing the value to 1028kb, It would also be interesting to test if lowering the read ahead value to 128kb shows any improvements.
