[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pictorul20:
i need to know what the low treshold and high treshold are.Also,I would like to know if there is a performance gain in lowering those settings in novathor settings. I have to mention 1 thing.I have succesfully been able to achieve incredible speed in my phone and the only "tweaks" used, were seeder and rom settings options. Buuutttttt.... after achieveing 0 lag (no lag even in sd card browsing with tons of files and music files )i got soooo f***ing speed in my phone, that all is working except google play store and games.But the speed in ui and browser is unbelievable.THIS PHONE kicked the competition.... I couldn't believe that it may come to a day when this phone could be 100% lagfree. I need to know if anyone tested any performance tweaks or seeder entropy fix ....so that i can be sure that this may be the cause of this incredible performance boost compared to default untouched rom tweaks. Btw... i'm on latest vanir rom .Also, as a last notice . there is a strange way to make your phone much smoother than it is ..... It`s hard to explain.... what i mean to say is that NO ROM IS LAGFREE no matter how good is built .....but there is a way , there is somnething in the system that is making phone lag...... i can definetely say that since i already played for a while with almost all rom that have appeared for this phone, and yess...... there is a way which I can`t explain , why there is something in the rom that makes it run with lag no matter how good is the rom. I found and i think there is something ..some tweak applied wrong ...... it makes lag to ui ( a little, but it exists) and also to the browsers. I unninstalled maybe something that it was related to that tweak/ script and after that ... miracle, it was lag free..... Please test this out too, and send this notes to any developer so that he can find out which would seem to be the problem . ( the problem itself is a sort of lag spike when scrolling too fast or browsing and navigating on webpages/ app store ) Thanks and sorry for bothering ... hope someone might take these notes in consideration . :)

Yes, but you will see how is the battery life with that "lag free". :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pictorul20:
I-m not concerned about battery life in this moment so i just keep on testing how to mantain that level of lag free ..... please explain me which part of the rom makes the phone a little laggy ( yeahhh, i got rid of the lag but I lost power button sleep function and the ability to play any game or browse in play store) . Also, I have a few more questions : How to make a zip file that is flashable in cwm recovery? and how do I change cwm background? I guess this zip file is not an ordinary zip file made with rar utilities or 7zip program, am I right? also ...... the apps from the flashable rom : do they need to to be signed or unsigned?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
I do not know what makes it laggy.

For flashable zip look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721680

I am not sure that you can change CWM recovery without recompilng kernel (CWM is on the same partition as kernel).

Use CoCore kernel, put it on Performance governer with No Frill CPU app, overclock it to 1200MHz and you will see difference. Look on its thread how to overclock gpu too.

Thanks for advices . i tested more workarounds " ways" to see where is the problem with the roms, but in a funny way....i must to say...... it didn`t softbricked........ i unninstalled more than half of the roms apps, disabled services, and this is the part where i don`t know what I did to my phone.....but it started working like 0,5x faster .....I don`t and i can`t compare these experiences with like a situation when you upgrade your windows to a newer version and you just realise that every os is much faster each day by day, but to imagine what i mean to say ......It was something like switching from windows 8 to windows 8.1 ........ i mean on this android phone.......those steps that i made ... gained almost double the speed, so I had no lag...... the screen responsivness was soo fast that i could actually see the layers when i opened and closed any " window" / folder or app. it was like there it was much more like 60 fps .....It was like it was 90 or at least 70 ....... and like I said no lag at all, nothing no matter how hard i tried scrooling throu` my phone.I was mindblowed to see that it was soo faast like a high end android device. sorry to mention this part again but i wanted to make sure that anyone who might be a little interested , know what I really mean when i said that this phone can work with 0 lag . :)

Closest to Vanilla? AOSP by J-Team

CWM/TWRP recoveries don't backup /preload, which is needed in the stock ROM because some system apps are inside, so you can't. Reflash through Odin

I am not at home now so I can't help a lot... If you need your device right now, reflash stock firmware through Odin (will not delete your personal multimedia data in /sdcard) then root again, change kernel (to have custom recovery) and reinstall a custom ROM. Otherwise, if someone wants to help this guy:

Download CoCore and extract kernel.bin.md5

On Cygwin or Linux distro:

tar -H ustar -c kernel.bin.md5 > kernel.tar
md5sum kernel.tar > kernel.tar
mv kernel.tar kernel.tar.md5

Upload the kernel.tar.md5 and the guy will flash with Odin

Hi guys.... , can you suggest a music player app that sounds powerful if we play on most AOSP ROMs? I've tried comparing the default music app from ROM AOSPA and CM11 ROM like apollo. And the result that apollo more powerful than the default application of AOSPA. Oh yes, I also have tried to replace the default music from CM11 ROM to AOSPA ROM, and the results are not so optimal sound apollo on AOSPA ROM. It sounds like the quality of the volume of ROM AOSPA not so accommodating for such the applications. I beg your advice. Thanks in advance. ?

Apps disappearing after switching from wifi to 3G

i have this weird and annoying problem - i've had it with slimkat and now i have it with liquidsmooth - whenever the connection switches from wifi to 3G e.g. when i leave home, there are some apps that disappears from the phone.

they don't exactly disappear completely since their folders remain into the sd, but their icons are missing from the app drawer and if i open google play and go to my apps, i can see them in the list "all apps" as not installed and i have to reinstall them again

these apps are only four, they are xda free, indoona, glow hockey and timberman (nothing very important, but still)

i'm currently using the modded version og the google play store, but this happens too with the original one. any ideas? :confused:

SlimKat 4.4.4 Final

*HELP* :(

HI GUYS

I have install SlimKat 4.4.4 Final but I have some problem with it.. :(

1- I have install a font (apk file) but i can't select it from setting! Why?!

How can I use my font? I could do it in HarshJelly ROM... :(

2- I can't restore my backup (I use Go BackUp) from extSd card! And I have to copy them to phone memory first, because the ROM deny GoBackup access!

How can I pass this bad limitation ?!

3- if I use other backup app, like Titanium backup, can this problem be solved???

4- I like to use JB notification bar instead of SlimKat 4.4.4 Final notification bar.

Any zip file to flash ??!!

Thank you SO much :)

Restoring after updating ROM

What's the best way to restore your apps/files/contacts/sms/setting, etc after a complete wipe/rom update?

Titanium Backup? Is the free version useful for this? Or is there a free alternative?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Apps Titanium backup, I used "unoffciall" version, so I am not sure about free. Probably it is capable, maybe on payed there are some extra settings.

Files - they are not deleted when you do factory reset.

Contacts - connect it on google account (cloud), but you can export it from dealer too.

SMS - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore - doing what you need free.

What settings exactly? If you mean from apps then Titanium backup will do. I am not sure if you can backup settings like what ringtone you was using etc...

If games data is stored in system partition, you can hardly do what you want without root. :(

Well :( read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461755

Seems that games store data in /data/, and it is protected. Can't access it without root permissions. But some of them have it stored in SD card, and there it goes that guide you called a crap. :) It gave you place on internal SD card where data should be sored if it is not in system partition. Now I looked better what I gave you. :D Look at this part of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZGoGc7FYe0#t=166

Another thin that you can try: open app manager and use transfer to sd card (of an app). That might put game data in that folder in guide. And then simply transfer it to new phone after.
