[UTIL] CurrentWidget [Update] sp3dev kernel support!

Here is a simple but VERY useful tool!
A widget which shows the actual current.

Goodbye to such sayings like "My battery lasts 4-7 hours" or "about 10% per hour"
The value refreshes every 30 seconds at most!
Set the update intervall to 1 min and leave your phone for 10 minutes in standby to check the standby current.
Note: Unplug the charger!
Note 2: It seems that you need a working battery driver!
I think we can use this thread for reporting the currents of the different builds (settings, kernels, WM ROMs etc.) to find the best battery saving build/combination.
So please report your best (standby) values here!!
(with Build, Kernel, WM Rom, maybe Radio ROM)
Download:
All devices:
Search in the market for "CurrentWidget" or download the CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk from below (and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card).
Xperia X1 aka HTC Kovsky:
Linux MSM/Tremere's Kernel:
With xdandroid build download CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk
With CM6 and other builds download CurrentWidget_all.apk
sp3dev's Kernel:
Take the market version or download CurrentWidget_x1.apk and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card
Thanks to the developer Ran Manor!!

You've taken the version from the market?
I think Ran hasn't uploaded the new version yet. Wait for v0.16 or download it from above.
xdandroid support has been added in v0.16 by Ran (and me )

This widget wrote into logs that standby is using 8mA
I really doubt that this is correct. Anyone have simmilar issue? I have Neopeek CM6 with latest XDANDROID build.

This data is 100% correct becouse its true data.
If phone dies after 6 hours its 100% correct data.
% per hour is also correct and valid data becouse its measured in WM.
Who can guarantee that data from this application is true. It gets data via android...the same background as battery life and status which is incorrect.

No it's not. Only the current is 100% correct.
You wanna say "4-7 hours" is correct?
You also can't say "the phone dies after 6 hours EXACTLY".. 6 hours standby? Light use? Heavy use? What means "light use" ?

Hi
Build: 03-10-2010 Special Edition-CyanogenMod6.0 Sony Xperia X1
Kernel: XDAndroid-kernel dated 28-08-2010
WM ROM: Shady313 Make Your Own Series [23134 Release 1][29/08/10]
I'm running Neopeeks 03-10-2010 "Special Edition-CyanogenMod6.0 Sony Xperia X1". Followed all of the steps in Neo's setup exactly.
Have turned off absolutely everything in Android but I still get readings ranging between 650mAh in standby up to approx 820mAh according to my own readings and confirmed by the log.
Suggestions/ideas anyone in how to decrease the current?

I always put all android ports under same enviroment and same configuration. And i test it for one hour without any use. So its reliable data for comparision.
And is there anything more reliable than the fact that with one port your phone works on stanby without any use for 4 hours, other for 6 hours, and other for 2 hours. This is 100% correct data.
Your phone can feed you with information that consumption is low and state is ex. 50% but who cares when in reality your battery is empty and your phone shuts down.

As far as i know battery status and state is incorrect and not reliable in android ports for X1. What makes this data from this Widget reliable when it comes from same background as battery status and state.
Im not beeing offensive and im not an expert. Im just trying to see things logicly.

It seems that you need a working batttery driver for correct readings..
so use Tremere's kernel 27/9..
Or did you still leave your charger plugged in?

Updated first post with a version for other android builds than xdandroid (i.e. CM6).
(Remember to use Tremere's kernel!)
Please report whether it works.

It's a nice tool ! Just a question... I don't have more place for widget, and don't want widget like this. So i search for the same tool but as an application (not a widget) with notification icon (Like "Battery Indicator"). Ran Manor please read me

Yeah would love that too. I am used to BattClock from my old WM-Days. The actual current was always displayed in the NotificationBar and suprisingly it didnt use any battery although it was updated quite frequently... Any chances to implement this in Android?

[Q] my galaxy is very very annoyed

I have no clue what happened....my galaxy was working fine...laggy a bit, but nothing i cant handle. I was at a club last night and recorded a 20 mins video...its saved. So as of this mornign my galaxy has been crawlingggg to load things....everything is either delayed or going really slow. NoLed is slow, chomp sms popup is slow....this phone is starting to commit suicide or something....any ideas why my phone started to all of a sudden lag alot?....when it didnt before???....and no lag fix is not a option for me.

Back up the video on your pc then delete it from the phone and see if that restores it back to its original speed.

yes i have and am now trasnferring the video...but Kies is taking sooooo long to do so. Its a real pain. I hope it was lagging cause of the massive amounts of videos i have...we shall see. (if i can get the video transferred)

if you're rooted you can try adjusting the minfree settings using the minfree app

This is what happened to my galaxy s as well. I have no recovery mode and root/lag fix was not an option for me till i found my solution step by step. I applied One click lag fix and it become so much smoother and faster. Sms notification has no delay even on Chomp Sms. =) The hardware of Galaxy S was good, but the firmware is a problem.

it seems ok now....(well not really )...but the reason i dont want to apply a lag fix is cause of the "reported" internal sd card fails....and i dont have $ for a new phone if this one gets screwed over.

i have auto killer and i just use stock task manager...as alot of people have been saying other task managers are useless cause Android OS is designed to handle it....confused....

the stock task manager is not that great, and the widget only works on the stock launcher.
the task manager the one i linked you can setup white list and black list
so it will automatically allow what to run, and kill what should not be running on its own

I wouldn't of used Kies to make the transfer, should've used a mass storage and transferred it using windows explorer. Also, I'd advocate against the task manager. I haven't used one on the SGS in about 2 months, back when I did I never let it run 24/7, sometimes I'd manually open it and kill almost all tasks. Task killers, such as ATK, will almost surely hurt your battery life if you let them run in the background, in fact, I'd even bet on it.
These days, I try to keep all my favorite programs in the background (unless they use CPU while idle, but even GTalk is great on battery life, as is LauncherPro and the widgets I have elected to keep). As long as you use the same 10-20 apps you should be fine, even if you use more you might be fine but not quite as good depending on how many apps you have loaded and storage space you use in total.
Since I highly doubt that the file size was huge and would overload the system, I wonder if a bug either sprang up and/or (maybe more likely) you created a hardware problem such as overheating your phone and processor and are now having issues. If nothing else works, try to back up all your apps and info to an SD card and then do a factory reset. If your problems continue then it's hardware.

Now I dont know whether to.keep the task apps or not lol...2 different opinions here...

The lagfixes don't increase the amount of writes to the internal SD and they certainly don't break it. Any of the lagfixes in the FAQ (see my sig) are well tested and nearly 100% safe. I would definitely recommend to either use voodoo or the modded version that uses the stock-kernel. You won't believe your eyes.
The reason your phone got so damn slow was because of RFS. The camera APP caches on the /data partition and when it does so, it created a massive amount of file system errors (a related thread can be found here).

So if i apply a lag fix...either OCLF or Voodoo...you can Guarantee i wont see a internal sd failure?...cause i remember All Gamer talking about how he wanted to fix the lag fix to write onto sd card or something like that...(dont quote me) its 100% safe?

Don't many developers etc say not to run task killers? They actually cause more drain on the phone and battery?
http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Note, however, that this is still a contested notion. A lot of developers (including ROM builder extraordinaire, Cyanogen) will not even look at your bug reports if you're using a task killer. In this humble blogger's opinion, your best bet is to stay away from regular task killer usage entirely.

i trust the hard fact results of the good it is doing in my phone, rather than some biased believes that just lags the phone if not actioned upon.

I dont know if I would call advice from well known developers as biased. Especially considering several others have shared this setiment. But what ever floats your boat. You are some what of a mr know it all here...
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

think about it logically, you do nothing to the phone and it lags like hell
or you can install legit software which easily lets you choose what to run and what not to run
result: system is squeaky clean and snappy fast
vs.
do nothing: system lags like hell, come to the forum complain the phone lags and claim other people are right we should do nothing and have an unusable phone.

Well the lag on my phone is minimal, it actually performs quite well. My phone died without any lag fixes etc, so I am not putting any of that on now. My problem is GPS is useless and the random shutdowns.

Custom 2.2.2

Took a break from porting 2.3 and threw together this themed 2.2.2
Its Gingerbread themed, a few graphical elements are missing though.

Also, Its looking like a ghost town in here, we need more roms. I can help those interested in compiling. You can use the Android Kitchen to get started.

bout to give this a go

Do you have any screens to share?
Does this have djSteve's tweaks?

^ Posted a pic, and what tweaks?
Will post new rom with full info this weekend. Lots of new tweaks, additions, and subtractions.
Stay tuned.

Thank you streaker!

I agree on the lack of ROMs. I'm going to start to try to develop something simple (I'm self-teaching Java and Linux; what better way to learn than to tweak?).
I'll be downloading the Kitchen and playing with it in a couple of days's time, if not sooner. Since you offered, I'll ask for help when I get stuck!
Are you still working on a 2.3 ROM? Can a n008 offer any assistance? I really want to get my feet wet in development (apps or ROMs), so if I can be at all useful I will be.

idk if you are doing this, but it won't hurt to repeat it
make sure you wipe data/cache before you capture the cmw image this way you can avoid some issues for people flashing

I'll be flashing this in a sec, here. Gotta love more Streak 7 devs!
Did you make this in ROM Kitchen? If so, how did you go about it? I couldn't get ROM Kitchen to work on my S7.

Great to see some more developers! I'll definitely give this a go.

So I loaded it up and slapped on Zeam launcher; I have to say, it's pretty nice. This is basically vanilla, stock 2.2.2 with the bloat removed and a black bar (with some Gingerbread theme touches here and there). This is a great alternative to stock, and seems to run everything really smoothly. Nice mod!

Looking forward to the weekend version!
But quick question, if i go about flashing this, while in DJs HS7, do i have to return back to the stock then flash cwm then flash the rom?

Yes, you do. Unfortunately, there's not CWR for HC, yet (and, even if there were, I don't know that it would allow flashing FroYo ROMs).

I don't wanna risk destroying my internal memory

Installed and working perfectly. Im using vtl launcher. Very fast and works well!!! Thanks much and im looking forward to future releases.
Suggestions :
1) maybe a battery icon w / percentage
2) go launcher or vtl launcher
3) any cooked in file explorer
4) a modified wpa supplicant file to allow adhoc tethering
4) maybe a task killer. Im using autokiller memory optimizer and free mem stays near 150
Great work!!

FroYo has very good, built in task management. Task killers generally hurt performance and battery life. Android isn't Windows; it's Linux. Having little free memory isn't a bad thing.

Hence why I said "maybe " a task killer. Mine without one hits that critical 40 - 50 mb ram level where things start to lag (I have a ton of apps installed which like to run as a background service even though I only use them once or twice a week) . Also if you researched.... most task killers do NOT REPLACE stock task management....they merely lower or raise values already in place. This means closing idle processes a little faster than default ( if I don't use an application in 12 hrs....do I really need it running in the background??????) Also, you can set limits on oom values for specific tasks so they have a lower / higher priority. There are absolutely advantages to task managers......
One good example...... without it, when my memory ran in the critical 40 mb range, ebuddy services would shut off.....which is one app I WANT running 24/7. Using a task manager I can set its oom value to -17mb which virtually keeps it alive even if the system goes into swap. Also another I change values on is gmail so it can background sync and I don't worry about it closing syncing services.
Anyway, I hope that clears some things up for you if you ran as many apps as I do, and don't have a completely fresh installed os, they are absolutely helpful I know that free ram ia wasted ram ....but that only holds true until you hit the levels at which the system needs to operate properly. Don't forget....you DO need SOME ram for cache / swap!!! ( 70-100mb free keeps things perfectly smooth)
Also, an fyi for you. I know android isn't windows. I am linux guy myself and have compiled many things from source. While I may not be a GURU, im no where near a novice. I understand how the OS works. Try running ubuntu 11 on 64 -128 mb ram and tell me how free ram isn't important.

LOLZ, ubuntu?
Vanilla linux can run fine on 64mb of ram

Sure it can...but not with a current version of gnome or kde maybe using xfce or window maker. Those don't need much resource. I stated ubuntu due to its popularity lol
Was just making a point on the necessity of SOME free ram
Side note.... did you see ubuntu is functional on the streak 7 ???? Awesome!! I can't wait until it is completely ready to go. I've been experimenting trying to get any desktop session up and running but no good so far It wont be long though!!!

Xperia ZR C5502 (IN) 4.1.2 stock internal memory dump?

Hi everyone,
My friend did a factory reset on her C5502 running 4.1.2 (.310 firmware), unfortunately she checked "wipe internal memory"
The phone reset went fine, its functional now... but the stock Sony images, music and videos are gone.
She wants them back, because she likes the "pretty pictures" and stuff.
Any idea where I can find a stock 4.1.2 internal memory dump of the default media that comes with the phone?
Or could anybody (maybe people who bought the phone recently) be kind enough to archive and upload it?
Regards,
Skittelor

Anybody? (hopeful bump)

Gone forever

The files have been permanently deleted, no way to recover them.

Yes, but since the stock media on all such phones is the same... I was hoping someone could upload and tell me where to place it in int memory.
If anyone could take the trouble, I'd really appreciate it.

i will upload the pictures for you but give me time because i have slow connection

Excellent, thanks xwatax
Could you please upload all the media? (stock pics,stock videos and stock mp3s)... and let me know their location in the internal memory.
Take your time, I'm not in a big hurry.
Thanks again and cheers.

hi,
do you have the link to stock 4.1.2 ROM for 5502.
i have updated to kitkat, but i want to downgrade back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2
they seem more stable , no heating issues or battery drain.

on 4.4.2 I don't have battery drain or heating issue, on the contrary I think battery usage is pretty better and phone stays up longer than 4.2!

Even I setup my XZR in such manner but for rest of the "non-advanced" users they can't do such things until they spend time on personalizing their smartphone. I do know that 4.4 is much sleek and faster than previous versions. But with all due respect to Sony Devs, they messed it up in 4.4 and I guess you too believe it, if not, I am not forcing you to believe it, but this is what I feel that previous versions did not need much of tweaking etc, but 4.4 needs loads of stuff to be loaded. I stay on 4.4 only for one reason, that I can use the latest apps by Sony. :good: :good: :good: :good:

Nope what I did was just a full flash of the rom and it worked as it should (with all google services working correctly after update)
I've showed you guys that 3 days battery remained with heavy use of calling and sms ing (all in 2G) data off, wifi always on, wifi location based on, normal internet use, normal games (traffic racer and Temple run), gps always on (used 3 hours in total for direction) and normal pm send and receive that is all! (with of course auto-low brightness) and always stamina on.
so yeah, I pretty use my phone like a normal ppl as I have a lot of works to do than temper with my phone (so unfortunate I use to be a heavy optimizer before)
so NO plugin or xposed or other apps than line, viber, qq, hangout, facebook, google+, instagram, Traffic Racer and Temple run was installed by me and everything went great!!
I'm not gonna argue that this rom is much better than 4.2.2, yeah 4.2.2 was the stable droid of all in droid world (either cm, stock samsung, stock htc, stock motorolla, stock sony, etc.) but yet Sony did not bring us a smooth rom (sure)! it's pretty heavy but still our battery life is pretty great and it seems that with all those heavy processing still they care about the battery and still with gpu rendering always on battery is a great show than 4.2 or even 4.3.

hi sijav,
thanks for the advice, and it seems you recommend that i continue with kitkat, rather than downgrading to 4.2.2.
could you suggest some settings on stock ROM 4.4.2 so that i am able to get better battery life out of my XZR, earlier with 4.2.2 i remember , i could easily pull off a day's worth (battery juice)with additional 30-35 % balance , but with kitkat mobile drains out before the day ends .........
suggestions plz.

hi nikhil,
could you please suggest some settings to improve battery life ? on 4.4.2

Severe memory leak.

I've noticed there is a memory leak after using the device for long periods of time, it's becoming a bit slow and closes a lot of apps that it shouldn't.
Also, opening the camera and using it a little, makes all apps to be reloaded.
I honestly don't feel this has 6 gb of ram, Huawei need to solve those issues, let's make them aware

I'm not sure why no on is replying to you. I have the Mate 20 X and I noticed this as well. All of my apps were refreshing the other day. My Google Podcast app even closed while I was doing something else. And I couldn't even jump back and forth between two apps without them refreshing. Then I started getting a camera error and it wouldn't go away until I rebooted. After rebooting, everything was fine. Rinse and repeat. This has happened to me several times. While it's nice to know that a reboot fixes it, it's a pretty bad memory leak. I have the International model, so I don't see an update coming any time soon.

It's not a memory leak.... The data collection buffer gets full, and a reboot resets this. China intelligence FTW.
....... JK

I've noticed that the camera and 3D live maker, kills all apps after 2 minutes of using those.
I remember the gs7e has done the same but camon, it's annoying that I'll open the camera, and everything will be reloaded.
Also besides Hauwei, Google made some improvements to the memory management in Android Pie, that could be also one of the reasons why.

I get non of this and the lack of replies proves the fact it doesn't exist. I have used mine since I received it with zero slow down.
The apps closing is because of the management of apps in the background. You can set the apps manually so they can run in the background.
This is done by "AI" so if you manage them manually you set them to run in the background and they won't get killed.

Your phone is faulty or you're trolling. The pixel 3 is crap, what you're describing here doesn't exist!

Having the same issue but I don't think it's a memory leak. Just Huawei agressive style of handling ram/apps.
Phone doesn't like anything not installed by defualt.

the memory management is horrifically aggressive. It'll be the thing that makes me get rid of it if I cant sort it out. I'm assuming this has happened with one of the updates as I've watched youtube videos of this phone being amazing on the speed tests and keeping apps in memory. Assume this was either on a pre-release ROM or an early version that reviewers are most likely to use.

My phone wont even do play-store automatic updates overnight while charging (like EVERY other phone i've ever had has been able to do).

You're the only one trolling here. Are you really such a hardcore fanboy that you're incapable of acknowledging that it could be a different software build? Chinese version vs International? I just got an update on my International model yesterday which may or may not have resolved this. It doesn't mean it wasn't a real issue. I have owned just about every major smartphone since the original iPhone, including all of the Mate phones and I also test them for a living. Some of us are actually speaking from experience, not bias.

Issue is there, but using open camera doesn't kill tasks compared to stock app, so it's hauwei aggressive memory management again.

Not noticed anything here, I sometimes have quite a heavy usage, multiple apps. No unintended closed apps. Phone is always very fast. Looking into the phone manager from time to time there's always 95% free.

I'm a one app at once guy... so no problem for me, i always close the app after i use it

The memory management on this phone is definitely rather strange. Yes, you can force specific apps to stay prioritized in the background, but it doesn't seem like there are any benefits to the hyper-aggressive method Huawei employs. What I find irritating isn't the way resident apps are juggled, but the way the app you are using acts like it is being starved of ram all the time. I need to try out a bunch of different browsers, so far the few I have been using feel like I am running a 2015 build of Chrome on a Windows machine with 256 Meg of Ram.

Try removing the stock launcher, and you will see a big difference m

So the stock launcher is the culprit? Any other bloatware that we can remove??

I have the exact same problem on my Mate 20 Pro.
Works great after reboot but after using it I sometimes can't even go to switch app mode and return to app without it reloading. Since it is coming with time used I also think it is a memory mangement problem.
I am on EMUI 9.0.0.153

Removing Huawei launcher via ADB, seems to fix some of it, but it's annoying nonetheless

I have the same issue. After using the device for some time, from Developer Options > Running Services, the System portion consumes most of the memory, leaving very little left for cached processes.

After a reboot, the System memory usages goes down to normal, until normal usage causes it to build up again until another reboot is required.
It definitely looks like some kind of memory leak.

Same issue here. I wish there was a way to schedule a restart overnight.

There is, go to smart assistance then scheduled power on/off...

Great thanks! I've now set it to restart every Monday overnight... Let's see how that goes
