Neat ROM

What settings or apps are you using to make sure you get the most out of it?

Power Saving enabled + the usual tweks listed in the, "Battery Saving - Dummies Guide".

Also now that I don't have STweaks any app you would suggest to get BLN?

The only rooted kernel for JB is PhilZ which is a stock kernel that has been rooted and a custom Recovery added. So no STweaks etc; and no BLN. We have to wait for the dev's to get to work on the stock Samsung kernel sources that have been recently released.

And the only problems I seem to have is I can't get the news ticker in the lock screen to work and when I type *#1234# in the dialer to see my pda,csc,etc. it doesn't show anything.

Don't know about the News Ticker but a lot of the codes do not work on the JB leak. Hawker believes that it might be something to do with the PhilZ kernel from what I can gather... he'll correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

EDIT... Hawker corrected me! See Update in post #1503

You're wrong!
Codes are down to the ROM. If some codes don't work its usually due to a missing application which acts upon it.

When did I say, my aging old that old asylum escapee? :confused:

I mentiond PhilZ may have something to do with Kies/Droid explorer not working properly so perhaps therein lies where our conducting strands mongrelized

:D

Stop beating about the bush Hawker and tell me straight! :rofl:

Ah! yes, that's right. ;)

Stay off the cooking sherry old son... no wonder I was confused! :confused:

Oh! yes... that's right. You did mention that in amongst what you were going to wear for this year's Android Forums, Mod's and Guides, Christmas Party... should we ever get invited! :cheers:

UPDATE

You don't get the codes if you are on the NEAT Lite ROM as this removes the Factory Test system app's, that like a plonker I had frozen on the NEAT Full version and now work after defrosting in TB. Thanks to Hawker for discovering that and letting me know I was being a tit! :dontknow:
 
Ironass would probably come and say that this isnt the proper thread to ask or answer this question ;) But I ll let him do that. Neatrom JB does not have the android 4.2 camera. From what i have seen on xda, presently people are experiencing FCs with the camera (photosphere)....

In my defense Neat is based on the stock (leaked I know) rom from Samsung. Therefore I would have assumed that they would have the 4.1.2 features working AND included. Unfortunately not!

I can see where you're coming from though.

Sorry, i cant understand what you mean mate :) photosphere is a feature of Android 4.2, while Neatrom is based on Android 4.1.2 and therefore it doesnt have the features you are referring too. :)

CONFUSION!!! On my behalf of course, I stand corrected. Cheers for clearing that up.
 
and the winner for Worst Battery goes to........

On the plus side, I'm not going to run up any phone bills as the bloody thing wont stay on long enough for me to use :banghead:


OK, so my problem obviously still lies with Media as it is chomping away at my battery like no tomorow. What I don't understand is that 99% of time I don't use anything that would start Media scan, etc. This morning for example, I unplugged phone & within 5 mins was down to 86%. The phone is on charge now (for 3rd time today) and it barely charges.

My phone is not usable, it will only be good for a paperweight soon!

cozins17, What was keeping your phone awake for the period when your battery "fell down a cliff ?" It was dropping quite steeply anyway, but it suddenly nose dives.

If your battery woes continue and you've done everything you can imagine to improve the situation, then it could be a battery problem. However something is amiss that makes me think it aint the battery, a nose dive like your graph shows is just plain wrong. You have my sympathy.

As far as I'm aware nothing should be on, Media is killing my battery (see todays update just posted!!) but I cant stop it. Half the time I cant even Force Close it.

It only started since flashing JB, its not ROM issue, but something since flashing is causing all sorts of problems.

Place a .nomedia file in any folder that does not require the media scanner to look into. BIG culprit is clockworkmod folder (esp. blobs if dup backups performed) when a .nomedia file is found, media scanner will not look in that folder, or any sub folders, so be careful where you create them

I've written a flashable zip that removes all media cache areas (all that I'm aware of, and if anyone knows of others then please tell)

Try flashing this and see what happens.

I'll flash the zip & see what happens, Thanks again.

I eventually made the .nomedia after bit of hassle last time & think put in every folder but will go through again. IS there any folder I shouldn't put this into that causes other issues??

Will this help with my issue of installing apps/updating apps where I am getting the 'Couldn't install on USB storagew or SD card'?

Hawker, even I have a slight Mediascanner wakelock. Will flashing this zip stop that?
 
wakelocks are inevitable. they are not a bad thing per se. without them, our phone wouldnt function. its when they get stuck is when they become a concern.

if you dont want any media scanner wakelocks you would need to freeze the service, but without this service, when you add new music, ringtones etc. they wont appear in your media player/ringtone/notification lists etc.

you pays your money you takes your choice.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great honour and a privilege to present to you this update from gokhanmoral.. I hope this brings in the Christmas Cheer for you as it did for me :)

- increasing charge current
- additional i/o schedulers (sio, v/r and row)
- some additional governors maybe
- CWM-flashable stweaks support as an init.d script so that you can use stweaks on some repacked kernels such as philz

some features are not possible to compile as modules, such as bln, but I doubt I can get it working on JB without breaking anything else in such a short time (I will have about an hour with an s2). gestures won't be available as a module neither..

so, the question is: since there are lots of positive reviews about the JB leak, what do expect from a custom kernel? undervolting cpu/gpu, overclocking? what else?

OK so fingers crossed the media scanning has stopped. I had to copy .nomedia files from PC as the ones I thought moved on phone obviously didnt. Hopefully I havent put file anywhere that might cause problems, but so far phone is working fine & battery is good :)

I still have issue with the 'couldn't install on USB storage or SD card' when I update/download apps. I have loads of memory & wiped the usual cache's with no success.

Any Ideas?
 
Ok so I have found half a solution for my usb/sd scard storage app issue.

If I unmount sd card I can update half of the apps and it even let me download 1 or 2 new ones. But, some of my apps still cant be updated, I'm guessing cause they are installed on memory card & still get error message when downloading some new ones??

DONATE TO ME
I had to postpone s2 work to Sunday because of an unexpected schedule change of my friend.

I don't expect or ask for donations for kernels or anything else that I share. I have a job and I make a fair amount of money. These are what I do in my free time and hence the quality is low and there is absolutely no commitment. It is my decision to give it up. I am not against people having paid apps or asking for donation as long as they clearly state their promises. You pay for an app and the next day he stops supporting your device because Samsung release a new phone and he gets it.. Fair? Well, if you consider the amount of paid/donated nobody can ask him to be your slave but when you consider the number of people using CM supporting some kids doing nothing while they don't support teamhacksung it is just unfair.
I don't want any donation not especially for a new s2. That means a commitment and it is something that I cannot make. If you have an unused broken s2 I won't say no but I can only use it rarely to help making some new ports rarely.

No need for such sarcasm. Just because you wasn't bombarded with suggestions in the one hour and 24 minutes between your posts (early in the morning may I add for most of the UK members who make up a large percentage of posters on here) doesn't mean no one was willing to help. It's a very unusual error and if anyone on here had it and sorted it in the past I can guarantee you would have been told the solution as we are a pretty friendly and helpful bunch on here.

So why not put down what you did to sort it on here instead of smugly saying you fixed it? It may help someone out in the future.
 
:party:Sarcasm is the domain of Senior Members. eh , Hawker ;)

Btw, I do agree with you on this. Sarcasm without outlining the solution is totally unhelpful

:ditto:

I already flashed some of the mods from the link you put up on xda i.e the JB Aroma Mods. Can I flash the above link over that without any problem?
Also I know that you can't uninstall a mod unless I reflash NeatROM but can I flash a different mod over that? For eg I have the blue battery and now can I flash the animated circle battery?
Thanks in advance :).
