Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

[cwhatever]

I was thinking something like that, I figured I would have to flash something with the older kernel in order for the older backups to work.

Or delete my 4gigs of backups and start a new collection the good news is after my wife divorces me for paying no attention to her and being a hermit on my phone she might want the house and car.... but I get to keep the prevail

pretty funny about wife thing!!! i always do a factory wipe, data wipe, cache wipe and then restore. one time i didn't and the two kinda merged together, was pretty cool but stuff would't work right.

Yep. I guess that I should have mentioned that. I do a Dalvik wipe after every flash. IT's just become second nature when flashing.

The FA19 update caused some really crappy signal quality for quite a few people, myself included, so if you are using it that could be the issue with your signal.

CTMod has CIQ removed as well, so you don't need the FA19 update to remove it.

Does that mean that FA19 has CIQ removed or not? I already know CTMOD removes it, pretty much the biggest reason I use it. But I'm curious whether or not FA19 removed it as well or was it just a rumor. Thanks.

Hi, it's been a while, been learning a lot behind the scenes so that way I don't bother you guys with too many questions

So yeah, after installing 3.5:

Problem 1: Using the larger CT3.5Fix.zip (not in OP) things are much smoother than before, but eventually I still have browser lag (about 30 mins of use), which drains my battery, clearing the app cache would make it go back to normal with slight glitching so then I would just do a restart which then made it smooth again. Then of course this repeats.

Problem 2: In general my battery is just draining like a mofo, yesterday I had it sitting on the table all day (locked black screen), went to 30% no calls no nothing. I have no idea what is causing that. I am going to try to odin back to stock to see if my battery is just starting to crap out on me.

Problem 3: Not sure if it's coincidence but it seems that my service has gotten crappier, 3g just isn't as fast, reception keeps jumping around while I'm using it. (Maybe just coincidence after install since I reached the 35 mark on shrinkage so perhaps they are giving me crappier service now)

So as far as my configuration goes:

16gb class 10 SD Card; ADBed my sdcard to have two partitions (2 x 2048mb; rest fat) as instructed on the KK thread, used Kouma's script to format both to ext4, installed ctmod 3.5 with SSM enabled. Then apkinstaller.zipped swype back. I never overclocked the cpu either. NO themes have been installed.


P.S. I read somewhere in the forums that the FA19 update removed CIQ from the prevail, is this true???

*Bump* Hopefully I can get some of your input Bloodawn, the almighty creator of the rom

i installed 3.5 from 3.3, cause i was working on my car, didnt have time to do much...

it lags alot,crashes, the launcher, the sony xperia, will FC alot.
tried the browser lag fix, nothing..

is it just me?

ill try another flash later, it will be the 4th

I always do the same thing before a restore. I was under the impression that with the newest fixed version of CWM that a restore included the kernel and the boot loader. Is this not true?

I do not think that the modem is restored as far as I remember. That stays the same unless you Odin.

 

[cwhatever]

mine runs 99.9% perfect. i do still have the if surfing the net or doing things online, do get the lag pretty bad after 20-30 min use online. now app sites like weather, tapa talk, email and things like that all day long no problem. but just use browser or google to look up stuff and surf that is when i have problem. i have tried skyfire, dolphin, stock is all the same. just dealing with it. same, the fixes didn't really work, maybe at first but is still not smooth.

yea FA19 has CIQ removed.

CTMod doesn't have anything to do with signal strength and if your signal is bad thats probably why your battery is draining faster.

I'll see if i can get the lag some people are still having fixed and get 3.6 out sometime soon. I just released CTMod for the Marquee today so I'm kinda tired of dicking with android right now but maybe in a week or some shit.

i had the same problem on my gfs phone same situation as you
what i did was i went back into recovery wiped factory, cache, dalvik, and format system. then i flashed 3.5 again went back fixed permissions then rebooted
i think the real problem is when you use titanium backup to restore your apps from 3.3 i'm pretty sure that's what caused it for me (maybe you too). so i just re-installed all the apps from the marketplace fresh you should go ahead and try it cuz it really did work for me its worth a shot.
let me know what happens

Did I ever mention that i don't like Titanium?

Me, I just copy all my apk files to my sdcard. do my upgrade/reinstall.
turn on unknown sources
then reinstall all my apps from the sdcard
I don't ever concern myself with losing any data, and most times, I don't change many settings, if any at all, so i usually don't bother trying to save any.
There's just too much risk involved in trying to carry over old crap. That's probably why I don't ever see 99% of the problems people are always complaining about..... just sayin

yeah i stopped using TB a lot of the times its fine but when its not its a pain in the ass lol but you're right the risk of carrying over old shit is pretty high and not really worth it

I upgraded to pro version of auto killer memory optimizer for the advanced system tweaks. It finally stopped all the browser lag and other programs lagging. I'm running it on ultimate setting. The free version's advanced tweaks will not apply on boot. But a lot of the program can be tested to see if it will help before buying pro version.

Throwing money at a problem, I know, but I really like ctmod 3.5 with buufn theme. I have all my Widgets and apps the way I like them so I spent the money an took a chance.

It will also speed up SD card, network speed, wifi, battery, and many other things. Of course the chuck Norris setting sold me.

Without closing any apps or Widgets I just scored 1899 antutu benchmark. 900 Max MHz.

I guess I should add that i partitioned my SD card to run the ssm. 2gig + 2gig + rest to = 32 gig.

v6 super charger scripts. you can edit the scripts to whatever values you want and run at boot so no running app. ROM toolbox do that free if you like the quick layout of app tho.

i'll check it out. thx man.

why if i kill apps then in a minute they are right back on there, with pro?? unless i go to manage apps and force close then they stay off but sometimes its a lot of work to keep doing one at a time. need something to auto kill??

and why in settings/ running apps it says 100 free and then in auto kill it says 43 and shows way more running then in settings????

also if auto kill is saying 43 free to settings is saying 100 or sometimes 130 that would explain why if start doing things it would cause lag. just looked at phone again and maps that i foreclosed is back up and running again. had that problem with facebook now i just freeze it but these other things i use too much to keep freezeing and thawing. any way to close stuff on auto killer or any other app?????????

 

[RTLflat]

free memory is used for cache so what show as free really isn't

 

[RTLflat]

and use ROM toolbox or autostarts to deny permissions to start on but completed. also maps is set to start on power connected so turn that off too

and when want to use them they will open? but when done if use back key it will close again??

Just as an FYI, hitting the home key on an app will not close it, hitting the back key usually will close it.

Android has a built in task manager that will kill apps whenever it hits certain levels of free memory/ram (aka memfrees) Most programs are designed that if you're not using them, they will move themselves down in priority so the task manager can kill them if it needs space. Autokiller (and most other memory optimization thingies) adjusts the memfrees so android kills apps at a higher level of free memory.

If you have 100mb of free memory, and autokiller is set to 43mb, it won't kill anything in that priority level. once you get below 43mb it will close everything below that priority level. If apps aren't going away, its because you are not getting low enough in free memory to trigger the task manager, or the app isn't lowering its own priority, like facebook trying to stay synced, or maps trying to lock your gps position. Try going into the apps and shut down auto-sync, or turn off location based stuff. You could also try changing autokiller to a more aggressive setting.

Thats all i know about that, I don't have any social networking stuff, so I don't know how any of their apps work. And i stopped using autokiller since CTmod has the memory optimization stuff included

thx and the 43 is what it was reading not what set at. i just used autostarts and disabled a bunch of stuff. will see how it works. and will go on web and suff to see if lag kicks in. hopefully not. will post results.

 

[RTLflat]

better to have boot scripts that do all this then you don't need any apps to fix low mem

 

[Caeadas]

on a side note...

Special CTMod init script (do use any other optimization scripts)

Blood, that sounds off to me... does that mean we can use any other scripts? Or is that a typo, and we should NOT use any other scripts?

I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi, I was just checking on what i said above and noticed that didn't look correct to me. I'm probably the last person that needs to comment on bad grammar, i'm from the south and i'm an idiot.

That's what i thought CTmod's special script was, hence why i stopped using autokiller. I still use Juicedefender to manage the radios and to overclock though

 

[RTLflat]

probably meant shouldn't just so you don't have conflicting scripts all running at boot. correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe he'd mind if u tweaked his script. otherwise his scripts run one setting on init.d and then 5 sec later app is changing them again at boot then running in background

 

[ITJ]

I was running a auto cleaner from super manager app and i boot looped first reboot due to the aggressive settings. fyi. Also i use alogcat for log viewing on my device. i noticed that audioflinger was causing a write block for an avg of 165 ms, and 30 delayed writes, i disabled this option and i'm monitoring the logs for results. hopefully it helps.

yea thats a typo, thanks =p

but it means I don't enjoy people acting like theres something I can do about problems they create. my script tweaks the kernel, ram, internet, plus some other shit and I don't need people adding 627 scripts that do the exact same thing and start having issues then coming here asking why their phone has aids.

same thing with people having issues after restore stuff with TB or whatever, theres nothing I can do about that shit.
