Is the thunderbolt scripts in CFS (Extweaks ) safe to use ? And what's the difference between the three types (samsung , linux and thunderbolt )

Btw i use siyah kernel 4.1.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes, it is very safe to use.

Thunderbolt script was made by an XDA user (i can't remember his name) originally for galaxy s, then SII and many other devices.

The script contains tweaks that significantly increases performance, stability without reducing battery life.

The default Linux tweaks has already incorporated most but not all of these tweaks originally in thunderbolt scripts.

This is my view about it,

In terms of UI responsiveness,

Thunderbolt > Linux default > Samsung default

No matter what, some users might not even notice the difference at all, especially between Linux default and thunderbolt script.

I've been having this issue since I flashed FH23. Even though I have Automatic Time Zone and Automatic Time set to off it keeps changing my time zone to Chamorro, GMT+10...

View attachment 1302751

I'm in PR, my timezone is GMT-4. If I change it manually its changed back to GMT+10 after some time...

Have you guys seen this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Mine has changed from Central Time (-6) to GMT (0) a few times at work. I blamed it on a tower problem. Sometimes a reboot would reset it and other times I had to set it manually until I went home.

I was using BAKED's blackbean 2 rom and have noticed that it was locked for GPL issues. Is there another location to look for blackbean's progress on the rom. Will blackbean be coming back to XDA once the GPL issues are adressed if they ever do get adressed? I really liked the all blacked out theming used in the rom. Is there anyother recomendations for a similiar rom.

Loopy smoothness is a priority setter to make apps unkillable and it rechecks in certain time frames. It will be included in my apk that will be released this week. Cod and v6 conflict due to both setting the adj/minfree settings. While v6 adds a few other tweaks as well. Agaim my apk will set the same adj/minfree settings and give u 4 different options.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
I just unboxed my 4th Nexus 7. Had half a hair's width of screen lift, but no other problems. I figured I would just keep this one. I took off the back cover to see if I could maybe tighten screws or whatever, and to my surprise 2 of the bloody screws are missing! The one second from the top on the left hand side, and second from the bottom.

Now obviously my first thought is that someone has had this unit before me and returned it.... Would you agree with this assumption?

Do I send this back as faulty? I don't want it falling apart due to missing screws. What would you do?

This whole faulty Nexus debacle has almost become entertaining.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Do nothing at all (as long as it works fine of course). The 2 (someone reported 3) missing screws were likely done on ASUS's end to help reduce stress on the screen itself, and/or to fix the screen lift issue.

Is it a C8? C8's (and even C7's) are reportedly coming new out of the box missing two screws, I've had one myself that I took back and exchanged. Still being discussed if its QC error or them attempting to solve screen lift (one I had was lifting even with them missing.)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sciolist10:
One of the screws was rattling around in my new 32 GB Nexus 7!

When I opened it up to remove the screw I noticed two screw holes unoccupied.

I decided not to hassle with a return/lengthy RMA process given that my device seems to be working fine and has no discernible screen-lift.

Thankfully, the screw didn't short something out.

This unit is a C9OK model.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPreston2001:
The lack of screws has been that way for months now. Its done like that from the factory. I got one back in Aug (C8O) and it was missing two screws. Havent bothered to pop off the back of my new 32gb model because I really dont care at this point lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshka89:
Reportedly this is an attempt at fixing the screen lift by ASUS. If the screen doesn't lift then the problem is solved by removing the two screws.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
I don't understand why you think an intentional change by Asus makes your device defective.

Did they promise you 4 screws?

Hi guys,

I'm really struggling with saving album art in poweramp so it displays every time without having to download it. And it not showing up in Gallery.

Is there a way to download the album art once and save it?

I have tried downloading album images from google put each one in the corresponding folder on my SD card and renamed each one to: albumart.pamp

it works fine but despite it being a .pamp file my gallery still displays bloody thumbnails of each one, very frustrating!!

Does anybody know a way of saving album art and it NOT showing up in the Gallery?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] porto777:
Download Quickpic from the Market. Simple long press the Album Folder and choose Hide it. Quickpic create a file named ".nomedia" in the right folder.

Or you can do it with a Filebrowser by your own (like Solid Explorer or ES File Manager). Go in the folder and create a new file, name it ".nomedia" (without the quotes). Done.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Obagleyfreer:
Thank you for your reply.

I am wanting to find a way of these not showing up in the stock ICS Gallery. Will this method work for stock Gallery?

I have tried Quickpic before and I really didn't like it.

Thank you for your time
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] porto777:
I think so, but i can´t remember. I use Quickpic and also Poweramp.

Just try it... create the new file (.nomedia) and put it in your Music Folder and see what happend. If it don´t work... erase the .nomedia file

Try to free memory before launching the game by using one of the task killer apps

Also try to fix permissions in advanced options in cwm recovery

Use device spoofer but make a nandroid backup first if the game need to work in different screen density
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Patschi_:

What do you mean with "Device spoofer"?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
Device spoofer : application that you install in android to let you change the device default dpi value or screen density to let games not intended for our tab default dpi or screen density (160) to work in it, but please before trying make a nandroid backup first as if problem happens you could return to last working state

You could send a message also for developers of this games saying the type of tab you have and the problem

You could try to ask in this link

Affected models:

Galaxy Tab 8.9" P7300 (confirmed by me) / P7310 (confirmed by whitehart)

Galaxy Tab 7.7" P6810 (confirmed by sebi1964)

Other Galaxy Tab series, including 10.1" (lot's of complaints on XDA, please confirm in this thread)

Symptoms:

No lockscreen, regardless of the setting

"Factory Mode" icon on homescreen, that opens up a calculator

Power button powers off the device instantly: no menu appears

No setup wizard after factory reset

Open Lock icon at boot screen - maybe it's not a related issue (please confirm)

Myth:

Only Samsung repair center can fix it - FALSE!

Workaround:

Type *#7594# in the Factory Mode application and uncheck the box in the Shutdown App that appears after entering the code - Works in some cases, temporarily, till you restart

Fix:

Rooted device

Mounted /efs partition (if in recovery)

Execute the following commands:

adb shell
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1001:1001 /efs/imei/keystr

Reboot device

Optionally: factory reset to get rid of the Factory Mode icon (or just delete it from homescreen)

Result:

All of the symptoms mentioned above are gone, except the lock icon at boot screen.

Needs investigation:

The lock at the boot screen may, or may not be related to the issue. It happens on my P7300, but to the following user's P7510 too: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18833764&postcount=1

What are the advantages of having a Galaxy Tab with unlocked bootloader? Or disavantages of having a locked one? How to relock?

Reference:

I've adopted Odia's solution for the Galaxy S3, spent some time with reverse engineering to see if it applies to our Tab's, if so, what are the differences, and voila! :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Entropy512:
Open lock icon on boot screen just means you have a fully unlocked (nvflash is accessible) Tegra device. About half of Tab 10.1s sold were like this, many of them got locked by an update but if you never took the update in question it would remain unlocked.

Some of the other stuff I have seen once - on a special developer device (with socketed eMMC) in the hands of a Samsung engineer. It was an I9100.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tracid:
Yes, I've read about those 10.1". But this is a 8.9". So the only advantage is that I boot into nvflash (APX?) mode without the battery drain trick?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] rizky_p:
Yeah i got my P7500 in factory mode after had a main-board and screen replacement(under warranty) all the symptoms are correct.

I have to returned it back to Samsung and the technician doesn't even know what to do, after much debate that i want the factory mode gone finally it returned to normal mode. I didn't know what Samsung did, but my guess is that my tab doesn't have imei and board serial number and missinf efs folder, that is why it is entering in factory mode. just a guess though as when i check last time my serial and imei was 0000 and 0000 something.

I wish people acknowledge this problem back then, i felt like an idiot asking in the forum and no one else had it and everyone said that i had done something wrong.

Fortunately samsung fixed the tablet.

My major problem with tablet in "factory mode" is that power button shuts off tablet immediately without menu,

cheers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Entropy512:
No, the advantage is you can actually USE APX mode - if locked, APX mode requires a key that we don't know.

I had installed a custom firmware after it returned from repair and had no issues. The issues started after I updated to the official ICS rom. But there is no factory mode app to be seen on the phone. However all the symptoms persist.

I tried to run the adb commands through recovery but it just keeps giving me not found errors.

When I try in debug mode the commands go through by the looks of it. Is it supposed to show me some sort of an output on cmd ?

I'm not too concerned, since I don't see the need of a lockscreen on a tablet anyway (it's not going in my pocket :))

But the icon and the lack of a shutdown menu are kind of a bummer.

I'm not familiar with those adb commands, I tried to enter it in terminal mode in twrp, but it returned file not found on the last command. I don't want to mess around with efs too much and risk not being able to connect to LTE again. On twrp also I don't see any way to mount efs, only system, data, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tracid:
Supposing that you're custom ICS is rooted (has SuperSU or Superuser), download Terminal Emulator and try to type the commands there.

Else, you can enable the shutdown menu by *#7594# (it may be only temporary)

Thanks, that worked, using the terminal. Boot menu and lockscreen are back! 7594 had tried before, nothing.
