Nova Launcher killing the battery! Help!

Hi Guys,

I have been using MI5 for over a month now and have noticed recently that there has been a real rapid battery drain on my phone even though on idle mode. And to my surprise, the top battery consumer is Nova Launcher. Now this is happening just since last week. There has been quite a time since I have been using Nova Prime (even on my earlier phones) and never has such bug been spotted.

Is there anyone else who has faced similar issue? If so, can someone help me with the solution?

(P.S. The app is not updated or something, I have tried clearing cache / data, even tried uninstalling-reinstalling).

Please help since Nova is my daily driver.

Thanks,
APA

Weird overnight battery drain

Hi,

woke up today to no alarm and a dead OP3, after going to sleep with roughly half the battery. Try to turn it on, battery at 0. Have never had any issues like this before, and the CPU wake time seems highly suspect (played poke go for maybe 90 mins, fiddled with the phone for 30 mins after that, I can't account for the test).

The only thing I did different than most days is leaving it face down (not sure if I've ever left it face down since they added the pocket mode - maybe that kept waking the CPU for whatever reason?) and leaving Bluetooth on (my headphones were turned off, so no idea why that would drain it).

Have had the phone for around a month now and so far it's been a wonderful experience, and luckily I didn't need an alarm today... but still it's pretty worrying. Anyone had any similar experiences?

Screenshots of battery usage are attached, thanks.

Edit: just thought of another thing I did yesterday that I don't do on most days - SwiftKey was giving me weird typing lag so I force-closed all the apps and cleaned the app cache, which solved the problem. Never had that eat battery before though.

Service info: I'm on 3.2.2 OTA, was on wifi the whole night (wifi has not caused a drain problem on any of my phones ever before so I'm ruling that one out I guess).

How does /etc/mixer_paths.xml TinyAlsa ctl/path routing work?

/etc/mixer_paths.xml is apparently related to TinyAlsa (http://ift.tt/2aaXrci).

The file can be edited to reroute or alter audio. "adb root && adb remount && push mixer_paths.xml /etc/"

The file starts with a series of default parameters. I assume each corresponds to a hardware/ALSA value or rounting preference.

Code:

---

    <ctl name="Voice Rx Device Mute" id="0" value="0" />
        "id" is used when multiple controls appear under the same name. It's like an indexing scheme.
    <ctl name="Voip Mode Config" value="12" />
    <ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="One" />
    <ctl name="SLIM_0_TX Channels" value="One" />

---

Then there are a series of profiles, which override default parameters.

Code:

---

    <path name="headphones">
        ...
        <ctl name="HPHL DAC Switch" value="1" />
        <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
        <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
        <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="82" />
        <ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="82" />
        <ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" />
    </path>

---

I observed that changed "RX1/2 Digital Volume" changed the output volume. "HPHL/R Volume" had no effect.

Some paths include an inner "path name=" tag. I assume this inherits settings.

Code:

---

    <path name="voice-line">
        <path name="voice-headphones" />
    </path>

    <path name="voice-headphones">
        <path name="headphones" />
        <ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" />
        <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
        <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
        <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="78" />
        <ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="78" />
    </path>

---

--------

Now the kicker... What do path names mean?

For example, "headphones" obviously means headphone port, and "speaker" means speakers.

However, there are literally hundreds of speaker, headphones, headsets, handsets, mic, sidetone-iir, tty, etc... How does Android choose which path to enable?

If I'm trying to decrease headphone volume (for earbuds), which settings do I have to change? "headphones" only, or some unknown set of options?

I noticed an interesting <path name="ADSP testfwk">... What could that mean?

A Google search took me to http://ift.tt/2aVyAqb . Searching `snd_soc_msm` took me to http://ift.tt/2aVyChS... The log link references "mako" (Nexus 4), not my Nexus 5X (this is the first commit the file appears). Additionally, the file is not available in "master" branch (replace the hex with master), as apparently libalsa was removed.

Stock ROM for honor 7

Hi,
I'am a user of honor 7 (PLK-UL00)
I tried to root honor 7 but after the last step i.e to install SuperSU and then reboot your system,
My phone got stuck in boot loop then i started searching for a solution and found that i should install
another version for SuperSU which i did and that made my phone to always boot into bootloader.
Then i again went to hunt for a solution , I got that i had to install a stock ROM for my phone .
When i searched for stock ROM available for my phone i got ROMs available for only PLK-L01
So the question is that is it OK if i install PLK-L01 stock ROM in PLK-UL00 phone.
I'm struggling since a week ,immediate response will be appreciated
Thank you
