I9505 [4.4.2] extreme lag after charging. mpdecision process 25% cpu usage. topic

I have the problem that my Galaxy S4 (rooted) becomes laggy or totally unresponsive after fully charging. If I only charge to around 85% and disconnect the charger there's no problem. I can do this several times over days and the phone works fine. But if the charge level reaches something around 90% or more (hard to check the exact number, but it does not have to be 100%) the phone starts to lag. Sometimes the phone locks up completely (pushing the power button a long time reboots it; I did not yet have to remove the battery), but most times it's just very unresponsive. Menu/back button hardly work (light up, but are mostly ignored), the home button most times triggers the task manager and does not go to the home screen.
If I can get as far as to start "OS Monitor", I can see a "/system/bin/mpdecision" process using up to 25% CPU (essentially hogging one core). Killing the process (a new mpdecision process, that uses below 1% CPU, restarts immediately) makes the phone alittle bit more responsive, but not back to normal. If I try to check information about the CPU cores OS Monitor hangs at "gathering information" about the cores (works without problems before the lag).
The only thing that fixes everything is a reboot of the phone.
I've tried a factory reset, even reflashed the firmware with odin, but that didn't change anything. What else can I do? Currently it's very annoying that I have to babysit the phone and reboot it as soon as it's fully charged.

[Q] Finger print issue and now extreme lag topic

OK guys, if any one can actually help me with this... I will be eternally grateful, as my return time frame is up.

Stupidly I flashed a rom that clearly said before wiping anything to remove the finger print settings... Of course I forgot and flashed anyways. Regardless the flash failed, so obviously i recovered a nandroid. But thats is where the problem escalated. After recovery I noticed that i was getting an error on the finger print set up. OK, whatever I Odin flashed back to stock (sammobile of course) after the device was back to stock... LAG... not just a little lag... ridiculous lag. Since this has been the case I have Odin flashed repeatedly trying to resolve, with very little luck.

I have disabled in dev settings the Animation scale, to no avail...

PLEASE GOD SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS ON THIS. I early hardware upgraded this from rogers and paid out the ass for it, and of course have lost my ability to return the device as it was working flawlessly before I unleashed my stupidity on it...

[HOW-TO] [MOD] Edit Extreme Power Saver Mode Apps topic

I have seen a few people wondering how this is done, and I haven't found any tutorials on it so I figured I'd do my best to create one as detailed and straight-forward as possible.

Although Android 4.4.2 is a bit old I still figured it's worth mentioned in here how to do it for that platform of Android.
For Android 4.4.2 they made it a bit more difficult than what we see in Android 4.4.3 and Android 4.4.4, and for this you will need to know how to use apktool or your favorite editing tool to decompile the ExtremePowerSaver.apk.
Once within that application the methods for changing the applications are the same it's just a matter of different locations for Android 4.4.2 and 4.4.3/4.4.4. Once you have the application decompiled, then it is into \res\xml\default_workspace.xml.
Within this XML you will find the package name of the applications. To change an app you will need to get the package name from the Android-Manifest from the application you want to change to.

Now onto Android 4.4.3:
This location is much easier and doesn't require any decompiling. Instead we are going to go into the ROMs system\customize\MNS\default.xml.
Once within this XML you can do a search for "<module name="PowerSavingLauncher">"
The stock set-up looks like this:

I highlighted the code that I changed.
You will need to find the class and package name for your application.
(This same method applies to the ExtremePowerSaver.apk, once in that app you will find the exact same code and edit it the same way, but as mentioned above this is usually for 4.4.2.. IF you edit the MNS/default.xml and it doesn't change the application then you MAY need to edit that .apk - I personally have only needed to edit the system/customize/MNS/default.xml for both Android 4.4.3 and Android 4.4.4 KitKat.

This is what I have changed mine to in my BoneStockROM: Mail to GMail, Calendar to Camera, and Alerts to Hangouts.
You may change whatever apps you want.

Help: Extreme lag and screen stuttering issues with CyanogenMod 11 on HTC One X+ topic

I just bought a brand new HTC One X+ a few days ago for a really good price on eBay. Immediately after receiving it, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed CWM and installed the latest CyanogenMod 11 snapshot. To my surprise, the device lags and sometimes freezes for minutes in completely simple tasks like pulling down notifications or typing on the keyboard. I've tried a lot of stuff, but nothing has worked so far.

I'm convinced this can't be a problem with the phone, the specs are too good for it to lag in such simple things. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S III with a CM11 nightly and that didn't have any lag even though the specs were technically lower. Also, another problem I'm experiencing is that the screen "blinks", as in it has a sort of stutter effect which is really annoying. I don't know whether this has to do with CM or with the phone itself, but the blinking problem doesn't happen in recovery or fastboot mode.

Is there anyone who can help me figure out why this is happening? Thanks.
