Modified files and battety brain

Do you guys think a modified framework-res could cause a bettery drain?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I doubt it, It depends on what you mean by modified ? If it is simple icon / colour changes then no, If it is something that increases the amount of power needed (like modifying auto brightness values or whatever is hidden inside the framework) then yes.
The best way for identifying battery drain is better battery stats, It gives you in-depth info of wakelocks, times, amount of power used, name of app etc etc. Its a really useful app !

Ot wasnt anything major. Just the lock scrren text 'swipe to unlock'

yeah and check loggs for errors, if the modification is not big free and triggering a recurring error it could cause drain.
also a modified framework, could have malware, who knows

[Q] [solved] CM10.1 lockscreen problem

Hey guys, I got a weird problem since a few hours... I installed some certificates, because my university exchange server needed them and CM10.1(Makay ROM) wanted me to set either PIN or pattern lockscreen, to be able to install those certificates. Now i cant change it back, to slide lock... Anyone who had something similar or someone else, who can tell me, how i can resolve this? Thanks in advance

Did you just flash the zip? Doesn't work for me... Thanks anyway I guess, I just have to change some settings, but which ones?

I did it with ADB if my memory serves me right. You may be able to do it through the terminal emulator as well.

Hrmmm.... That's beyond me. I think you might have to do some digging around for the preferences in the root and edit them manually.

Auto rotation in launcher

Hey guys,
I read, that you can force auto rotation in launcher by editing the build.prop.
My question is: what do I have to add and where?
Thx

Take the Xperia launcher mod ra3l or something like this was his name here from xda. It's look like the normal launcher but it work on all android 4.1 and up.

I think this is what your looking for, not sure if it works with sony home though.
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
Add it to the bottom of your build.prop and find out.
By the way... i found this by typing in "auto rotate launcher build.prop" into google.

Thx for your reply
Sir, be sure I used Google, too, and I found that as well. But it didn't work for me, it seems to be a kinda Google launcher solution. I'm just wondering if there is a solution for xperia as well...

I think for the sony launcher the xml files need to be edited in the apk.
I used to enable lockscreen rotation all the time in my old phone and that needed a value changing in the framework.apk

well if by build.prop it cannot be done, if i may suggest using App Setting found in xposed installer. with that app u can specifiy which app will have forced rotation. mind u that u need to be rooted to use it.

well you could try the various screen rotation app available in playstore if u want. before I use app settings I was using one of those.
EDIT : oops sorry didnt read above post that its eating RAM. have u restart ur phone after module installation? just curious cause I didnt get that problem ur having now

Yeah I did. Don't know, maybe it's a problem with the Existenz Rom? Cause my home app may be kind of modified.

[Q] Navigation buttons on custom ROM - Problem!

On stock v20a, the navigation buttons didn't turn on unless I was using them. Now, after I installed the Slimbean ROM, they turn on everytime I touch the screen. Is there any way to solve this?

nope, unfortunately. you can disable them completely, or turn them on whenever screen is on, but there's no jb mode, i.e. for them to light up only when you touch them.

Ok, thanks. Can you tell me how to disable them completely?

Xperia T never sleeps always awake while screen off

Hello All
My Sony Xperia T on 4.1.2 JB UK, always shows Android system as most battery drain and the phone never sleeps when screen is off
I have disabled lots of bloatware apps.
Location off, WiFi off, 3 g off..everything is off..
I use greenify to hibernate app but still phone never sleeps?
Any idea?
Thanks
See screenshots

Repair the phone via pcc. BTW: why are you still using 4.1? Update your phone to 4.3 and report back

Hello if you looked at screenshots, its from betterbatterystats...

Give the phone to sony and let them repair your power button. Then flash a stock 4.3 ftf and report back

I'm sorry, I couldn't see the screenshots before. You'll need a better BBS log, it would be much more reliable if you would post a log from overnight. Those one hour logs can't always give a clear enough picture. Make sure you don't use your phone, so we have a completely idle log.
Check the BBS thread for AlarmManager, that should already give you quote some pointers to work with.

The whole point of doing a thread here is so i don't have to send phone to sony to repair
Even i know i could have the phone repaired! Don't wanna spend money on repair
Phone works fine just the battery issue as mentioned above
Don't want 4.3 due to all the bugs mentioned here

Well, without a better log, we can't help you. 'Android System' contains just too much functions. It shouldn't be a problem to just get an idle log off 4hrs or more, to help solve your problem, right?

In the above quoted thread someone said the majority of the alarm manager wakelooks being Google Talk and Facebook. I concur and think these are among the first things to kick from the phone. Do you also have NFC on? Widgets on your screen?
Actually it sounds as if you did already a lot. I am not sure if I would further bother with this ROM,whatever it is.

Some disabled apps still "work" in the background. NFC for example. Or GTalk.
Investigation of these sort of wake-locks can be tedious. Unless you see it as an interesting task Did you consider simply re flashing it?
