[Verizon] [ROM][4.0.4] AOKP ICS B40/M6/Mods (7/8)

Anyone else having checksum issues? I keep getting 3938D236AAAE32F8A9B7AA14067EF32D for Mirror 2 on B28.

EDIT: Mirror 1 and 3 don't work yet.
 
The updates look really nice. Hoping those of you who had the batt drain issues are now a thing of the past. I suggest trying the stock kernel it gave me 3+ screen on times and 12-15 hr days on wifi/4g 50/50 on M4. It was also very smooth. I'm on CM's latest build till Wed y'all feed me info please on b28 as I'll be back home tomorrow. :D
 
So far so good M4 -> b28 (dirty flash, only wiped cache and dalvik).

Took the phone off the charger @ "100"% battery (it was probably closer to 99 as it had been at 100 for a few minutes and normally it would drop to 99 very quickly on the charger, but I digress) and it was at 94% after 9.5 hours! I'll take .63%/hr drop idle! :)

Those are very nice results so far. Betting you that will change every day (maybe every 1/2 day even) I've never been able to repeat consistent battery drain days unless it's at night and I airplane mode it while sleeping....that, to me, is the most accurate/consistent way to see what kind of idle drain one can achieve.

I've stopped monitoring battery life, but was pleasantly surprised to see my CM9 w/ stock kernel has 70 minutes screen ontime, 15 minutes phone calls, 23 sms and 5 emails with an uptime of 5 1/2 hours = 84%. All on WIFI of course ;)

When you say you only wiped cache and Dalvik is that the same as wiping the Dalvik cache or is wiping cache something else and if so how do you do that. Thanks

Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache. Dalvik is located under "advanced" in cwm. Cache partition is directly underneath wipe data/factory reset in CWM.

btw is that stock kernel or imo 2.6?
 
Does anyone have recommended color tweak settings and auto brightness settings that would be good for someone who likes a dark screen?

How did you not touch your phone for 9.5 hours????!!!?????
 
Ok - having the little keyboard in the status bar when I type is irritating the poop out of me. Any ideas how to make it go away??

Don't know about color settings I like mine just the way they are ;)

About the auto-brightness. The best way, because it will vary according to your liking, is to play with it throughout the day in different lighting and different situations. I'm very accustomed to it from CM days with the Inc. For now I've settled on this:

- Light sensor filter = enabled, window length 10s, reset threshold 400lux, sample interval 1s.

- Light levels = use custom check, screen dim level 20 default, allow light decrease check (I like it to lower automatically as well) and decrease hysteresis 50%

Here is my Edit other levels screen settings:

As for what all those terms mean there is a killer thread/post on XDA that explains it all very well and concisely. Problem is I can't find it atm. It's buried deep within!

Here is what I believe them to mean:

If you have auto brightness enabled and then go to the "Edit Other Levels" screen, you'll see in the top left corner filtered/raw. When you have the filter enabled, essentially what it does is slow down (filter) the abrupt changes that take place in the ambient light sensor to allow for smoother ramping (both up and down if you've enabled "allow light decrease").

The parameters under the "Light Sensor Filter" control this "filter".

Window length = how long the 'filtered' value remains in the vicinity of the 'raw' value. Lower = it will follow the 'raw' value closer and not have as smooth of ramping.

Reset Threshold = if your inside in a dark room and you walk outside into the sun, instead of ramping up slowly like the filter makes happen, this sudden burst of light resets the filter and it jumps up in the vicinity of the 'raw' value therefore brightening your screen much quicker like you would need it to. I use 400 lux because it's the lowest value therefore it jumps up quickly when I enter bright ambient light

Sample interval = self explanatory really. How often the sensor looks at the ambient light in order to make the changes it needs to make.

Allow light decrease = allows brightness to ramp down also

Screen dim level = don't really know here, but my guess is if you choose 20 then it will decrease 20 points at a time when lowering brightness.

Decrease hysteresis = reduces flicker when decreasing brightness

This is all what I think it means please don't take it as FACT :D
 
Btw, the above screen shot shows the 'edit other levels' screen. There are 4 columns: lower, upper, screen, and buttons. Disregard the buttons (we don't have them on the GN ;))

Lower = lower sensor threshold
Upper = upper sensor threshold
Screen = your brightness level

Be sure to save and apply after you make any changes each time or it won't stick.

You can also set way more levels, like 20, if you want to create really smooth ramping, but I found it to be a waste of time and made it way too complicated. KISS Simple is always better :)
