[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
Getting an s3 was the best decision I ever made. So much smoother and better imo.

That being said I would take a note 2 in a heart beat.

Flop? The note is probably not going to see official jb and ics is laggy.

The sales of the nexus 4 are insane, the gpu/cpu destroys the notes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nikko370:
I would make the trade just for the specs the of note is great especially with a custom ROM but eventually it will be outdated you will get more life with the nexus 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] quickbird144:
Well I took the trade and haven't looked back. This is a way ahead of the Note in terms of specs. The screen size was not a issue at all. Don't take this as dogging the note cause I'd pick one up any day, but as far as the market is concerned this would be in the top picks.

For all the comments about the build and it breaking, well to each their own. I've had zero issues with mine. Some people don't really use caution when handling already cheaply made devices. And it goes for any phone that it's possible to come with defects from the factory.

As far as LTE, the Nexus 4 is capable of. With the .33 radio and a custom rom it's no stranger. T-Mobile has only launched LTE in a few cities but it'll soon get around.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ridikolous:
I just sold my note today. Waiting for my nexus 4 to ship. Hopefully it doesn't take long. The reason I choose the n4 over the note is that development over at the n4 forum is pretty busy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddyo1993:
Well I don't know how to start but here it is. I have a Droid RAZR XT912 Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Here is my problem so I cant get access to USB on my phone all It does is charge through computer of course. Im trying to root my phone again but I cant since I cant access USB debugging all this happened because of AVAST anti-theft in which I set up on another ROM. If some one could please help me here I tried z4root doesn't work if someone could tell me how to manually root my phone without a computer this would really help. Thanks for reading this and for the help as well.:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Have you disabled the avast antitheft, and tried?

You can't root without a computer
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddyo1993:
I tried getting into it but it has been done on a different ROM and without root I can't get to it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddyo1993:
Super user is still in the phone I don't have the binaries according to the app in which I can't remove
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
When you plugin your usb cable, in the notification bar it explains how the device is connected, are you verifying it is attached as a media storage device? Phone is unlocked and screen on when attatched to the computer? Have you tried reinstalling avast and see if the settings are still the same... and if you can change them?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddyo1993:
When I connect to the computer it does nothing no notification no sound all I see is that it's charging the only way I get something is when it's on diagnostic mode on which I need flash MZ600 drivers which the computer can't find. The phone is unlocked when I plug it in and the screen does stay on and yes I did download avast and I can't change the settings since I'm not rooted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 9000:
I have had a nexus 4 for a while, and I rooted it about 2-3 months ago, but today for absolutely no reason, it won't turn on (please note it was fully charged when I left it). I have tried to leave it plugged in for a while, and after I tried turning it on nothing happened. When I connected it to my computer it showed up as QHSUB_DLOAD. I don't have any custom rom or kernel, all I have is an unlocked bootloade on my rooted nexus 4. I tried holding the power button for over 30 seconds (it was suggested on another post here at XDA) and it still wouldn't do anything. Please help me, I have no idea what happened or how to fix this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 9000:
PROBLEM FIXED!

jonapunk sent me a message with a simple procedure to solve this:

"Try volume up and power for 20 sec. Then press power button one more time"

I have put his message up for everyone to see in case they encounter the same issue.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Unlock your bootloader if you want to use custom kernels.

This error means, that your device does not have an unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilbreebchi:
a xperia arc, broken?

hey guys, hmm,

I was hesitating about posting here, but now that I have no choice.. -_-''.

I installed this ROM, ultimate HD 3.0.2 on my xperia arc with locked bootloader, successfully, but the keyboard was not working, and i found no soultion, so I thought about reinstalling it, but this time I remembered that, somewhere, I read that I could install the version for xperia arc s, unfortunately, at this moment, I got stupid enough to do it u_u''.

So now you understand that I installed ultimate HD for xperia arc s on my xperia arc, and the result was===> guess what!

My xperia arc never booted successfully after that: the sony screen appears, than the phone reboots, and does the same thing again and again. I don't even have to push the power on/off button, it just shows the sony screen and keeps rebooting whenever the battery is connected..

I know for quite sure that my phone is broken, but isn't there any chance that I can repare it xD?

I'm a student, and I sincerely got no money for buying a new one -_-.

PS: when pushing the volume-down button, I can not access the recovery.

I hope my english and my phone's situation are not too much catastrophic.

Thank you.

I'm new here so I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for my post.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikadrahman:
Flash stock .587 or .13 ftf with flashtool
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilbreebchi:
I'm afraid

I'm afraid that flashtool doesn't get the phone connected
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikadrahman:
Install drivers, it is in flash tool folder
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smart_ani:
Ur phone has locked bootloader so it's still intact... :)

All u need to do is flash a stock Rom

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

Flash stock Rom as guided above....

For details check out the forum for tutorials...

And if ur phone is dead :*) not responding at all I will suggest u 2 try the se recovery tool...

Download and install on ur pc...

And follow the instructions....

I personally recovered mine twice when I was new to all this ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] trentanel:
Hello,

On my Galaxy Mini s5570, i have a recovery cwr 6.0.2.7 and a ROM installed. All works fine.

Now i can't install any update of the ROM, any other ROM ... neither the same ROM. I get an error "status 7".

There is enough place on my internal memory.

Do you know if I can format the internal memory and then install a ROM?

How to do ?

Thanks ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Use google! Do you know what error 7 is?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] trentanel:
Have you a goog link ?

Yes, i have googled. But i found nothing good for my case.

Have you à link to a good information about this error ?

Can you answer the question of formatting?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
bad zip, maybe? download rom again, and flash one more time
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Yep, error 7 is bad zip. Easy to google it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] trentanel:
Yes but i tried with two others ROM and it's the same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Then your sdcard is making mistakes when copying...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] trentanel:
Thanks, but i tried also with an other sdcard, it's the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Then download is unsuccessful. Maybe download with the computer and then copy to phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] trentanel:
Topic solved

thank you all for your help.

the problem was caused by a bad recovery. A new install by the sdk solved the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
I also wanted to know about the build tweaks now possible if we can root stock ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
I will let you know what I discover. So far the biggest boosts are browser2ram and freezing all the Asus bloat. It already feels like a different tablet now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Set performance mode to performance. Enables it to clock at 1.4 ghz (wish we could go higher with stock kernel!)

download Kernel tuner, go to OOM, presets and set it to 1000 aggressive. Also in kernel tuner, set SD cache to 4096.

I didn't find seeder to actually help. Also download Rebooter from the play store and "Hot boot" if you slow down. It essentially kills all non-system apps.

Haven't tried the other apps you linked to the play store. My prime FLIES now :)

Edit: also have not tried build prop tweaks. Don't see a need just yet, might affect future OTA upgrading as well.

EDIT: Talking about performance, for browsers, I use dolphin with dolphin's jet pack. Doesn't have flash, but sunspider shows this to consistently be the fastest between any other browser on the market. Stock and Chrome come in slightly behind (in that order).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Maybe it is just the euphoria of getting root but seeder works great for me. first thing i installed after rooting. The stockbrowser and xda homepage (showing all devices) would crash the browser every time (stop responding, and require restarting) with seeder it is fine. I even uninstalled seeder to test if imagined the effect but didn't. For me seeder makes the stock browser fully usable. I dont think the browser has stopped responding since i installed seeder.

I will have a go at some of the other tweeks now.

poofyhairguy, Good idea to compile a list of tweeks, maybe you can keep the OP tidy and list and tweeks that other posters suggest in the first post.

One from me that you have already mentioned, to increase the volume get Volume+ from the play store. There is a free version and a paid version that claims to increaseit more. Maybe someone can suggest something better for the same job and completly free.

Also there was/is an app or tweek to improve the touchscreen persission and sensativity. Anyone know what thats called?

More idea's....?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Afternoon all, I have done most of the tweeks and i am seeing excelent gains in smoothness and responsiveness.

Quick question, i have disabled loads of the bloat apps using settings/apps/all selecting the app and selecting disable, but is there any advantage using titanium backup to freeze or remove the bloat app's?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Don't remover, just freeze it. If you need to OTA, it checks to make sure all the Asus apps are still there.

Also interesting tidbit on seeder. I'll try it again.

As far as changing governors, I could never get it to stick on anything other than interactive...?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Good idea. I will also add the stuff I discovered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Looking into it volume plus no longer works in jellybean. So something else is needed.

I have updated OP with new findings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Just PMed a mod to move this to General. I'll try Pimp My Rom when I get some time this week and report back if it works or not!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Please keep this list going - Everyone will need to know these things as more people root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
I plan to. I am going to keep working on it until we get as much as we can get out of it. Plus I have crosslinked this guide on the TF300T and TF700 forums.

OP has been updated with my recent attempts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bountgunner:
Nice tweaks without root.

Maybe some things will work with my s3 because my Prime is rooted from the first second :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Kind of slow at work tonight so I know what I'll be doing. :good:. Any benchmark numbers before and after doing all this?

I used to use Volume + but is seemed to quit working on JB. I am now using Music Volume EQ. It may not boost your volume as much as Volume + but it works well and I like the EQ, virtualizer and Bass boost functions. I just wish they would optimize their interface for tablets, it's kind of small for a 10 inch screen.

Music Volume EQ

One thing I've noticed with Music Volume EQ is sometime you have to open the app (or press the widget) for it to turn on. I haven't tested it if this is just after a reboot or it happens randomly.

EDIT - At this point all I can is WOW. This stuff really works. Pimp My Rom is the bomb. I've done everything in the list but install Seeder. With Pimp I don't think it's necessary but I may try it later. Also I can't get the CPU manager to boot into Performance mode with Pimp. Not really a big deal since ever since I've had my Prime and rebooted the first thing I do is to switch to Performance mode. It's like second nature to me now. I'll keep messing with it, it's probably something I'm doing.

Thanks for this very good Thread!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
Thanks for this guide. At least I got root again easily. I did all the tweaks, lets see is the device any better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
A lot of these improvements show up in feel, not in benchmarks. But I might add some to the OP. Glad it it helped.

I am going to have a big update tonight. Got FSYNC turned off, almost done with build.prop tweaks plus maybe another surprise or two.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Can't wait! I am now rooted and working through the list!

How did you turn off Fsysc? do you know what the risk is? ie if an app force closes and the TF201 reboots - ie is it safe?

Please let me know your thoughts...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
If you are going through the list now please don't install Seeder ( I found something better I think) and hold off on Pimp My Rom or you will have to redo it.

I am going to make a TON of changes to the guide tonight.

I found a libsqlite.so that was compatible. I promise as soon as I make sure it is safe today I will post how to do everything.

This post basically sums up the risk:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27122865&postcount=42

I think it is safe enough given that. The ROMing community here has bought into it 100% and so if it was a big deal it wouldn't be used. I never would make my life depend on my Prime.

And I almost can't explain how much faster it is with FSYNC off. Like everything else in the guide put together doesn't do as much. It is amazing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Morlok8k:
My name isn't flumpster...

If your going to credit someone, either credit my name correctly (Morlok8k) or the original creator of the method (djrbliss).

:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Sorry about that. I will change my guide now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qskile:
The modified version of browser2ram found in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34885711 will keep your settings and remember your place.

I can confirm that it works with the stock browser. If other people experience the same it may be worth updating the op with this improved version giving credit to the dev.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
The next question that needs to be asked is what to do with all these great tweeks when the next OTA comes (if ever) for our Primes? I know if the OTA doesn't see the bloatware it will mess up the installation that is why I just froze all bloat in Titanium Backup the just un-freeze them before starting OTA install. Will the tweeks keep the OTA from installing correctly?

Hopefully we'll find out soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Thank you very much for this. I will update OP soon with a mega-update with that info and give credit!

I just got done with a new custom build.prop for .18, so I am going further down the rabbit hole. Every step involves backups, which means it can all be undone (like the app freezing).

If we actually get 4.2 then my official recommendation would be to undo everything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
As far as I remember, they check for stock apps (md5 I think) and they check your build prop. Everything else can be changed or modified. I was able to retain my dock keyboard tweaks and reassignments through the upgrade with no issues.

I don't think anything we've done SO FAR will affect the upgrade. The build prop, however, will need to be changed back to the original one before upgrading...like poofyhairguy said, if we get another OTA that is. Hopefully by then I'll be unlocked and won't look back to OTAs :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Ok I just put up the huge update with many changes like FSYNC disable (thanks eminent1410k), a custom build.prop, and more. Attached are some benchmark screenshots showing the difference in performance when FSYNC is off.

Now my Prime completely flies!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kornball:
I'd pretty much given up on improving my TF201, but this guide looks awesome! I'll have to try some of these tweaks out soon. Thanks so much for your work! :highfive:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
I deleted bloat in Titanium Backup. I factory reset my prime and bloat was still missing. It's at RMA right now for unknown serial #.

Can I get the ASUS apps back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Every time I have rma'ed mine (5 times) they send it back with a fresh Rom installed so it unlikely to be a problem. If they are not there when you get it back you could probably restore them with titanium backups of the missing apps. I'd you don't have them I am sure someone would be kind enough to supply you with them if you still need them.

I reset my prime to do some before and after benchmarks. I made some screen shots I and will upload them in a bit when I have done some of the have done the new tweaks (build prop, fsync).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Wow - great results - thanks for sharing.

Before I reattempt - can you please confirm the steps

You said

"6. Install the Pimp My Rom app

NOTE: This step must be done AFTER step 5 if you are going to do step 5. If you don't do step 5 the using Root Explorer or something, go to your /system folder and find build.prop and rename it to build.prop.bak before using Pimp My Rom."

Does that mean I need to uninstall Pimp My Rom - or do I just go back to the start, implement step 5 and then open Pimp My Rom as if I just installed it and recheck the settings...

Thanks for your hard work!

I await your reply before I start agan
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
WOW - Overall went from 87 seconds to 29 seconds. I guess I'll have to risk it. Nice work.:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Do this. Just make sure you reboot once in between step 5 and re-Pimping Your Rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
It makes a huge difference in system feel. With FSYNC off you can actually update your apps in the background and still do something else.

Be sure to thank eminent1410k in his thread for patching his ROM in a way we can use it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Doing a full restore from a SD card can fix anything here in the worst case scenario. But you should be freezing/disabling the apps, not removing them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Thanks for the reply - am still abit worried about turning off fsync so might skip this ...

I know fsync is the big one for performance - however these primes do "sometimes" SOD. Although - not had one this year - it can fail. Would prefer to have Custom recovery 1st.

Ref - Replace build.prop

Could you please tell me if it is possible to use your custom build prop with my UK prime?

I ask as it is labeled as US_10.4.2.18_JB_build.prop.zip not UK.

With thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
I don't really think a SOD would softbrick your Prime or anything. I read the entire thread on FSYNC disabling before I did it, and in the many months since that trick was found no one seems to have any major issues. Some of the popular ROMs have FSYNC disabled by default. I think this post in that thread really explains how the risk isn't that great:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27122865&postcount=42

But I understand if you want to be cautious. Browser2RAM can really help you then.

I don't think you can use my build.prop, but if you wouldn't mind posting the one that came with your Prime on here I will modify it the same way I did the US one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
The OOM adjustments go a long way if you're trying t be careful. My prime is a different tablet with the aggressive OOM settings and startup apps disabled.

Will report back on fsync soon.

Edit: since you read through the whole thread, let me ask you. What are the risks to fsync off in the long run? If my prime freezes and reboots, what are the chances that it will brick?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Here is my copy ...

MEGA THANKS!!!

I assume I will be able perform the Fsync off - in the future ie out of order from the list?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
In the whole thread and elsewhere on XDA I couldn't find someone who had an issue that could for sure be traced back to disabled FSYNC. If it was terrible someone would have been soft bricked by now.

So many ROMs now, not just in Transformerland, have disabled FSYNC. Heck that is where the libs in my guide came from- a phone ROM.

I think I wouldn't want my life to depend on it, but the risks seem pretty minimal. At the absolute worst with anything in my guide you can recover, just maybe with data loss. So backing up apps and pictures protects you from the worst that can happen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Thank you for that. I edited your build.prop and added the WW version as an attachment in the first post.

As far as the ordering for the list:

As long as you do Step 5 before 6 and lagfix last you are fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Confirmed "WW version" as Valid and SAFE - THANKS!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Sweet, in that case I will be installing it next time I take a break. Btw this guide is coming together really well. Nice work :)

I also enabled seeder from pimpmyrom so maybe you could combine those steps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Thank you for your kind words! Please let me know what happens.

Actually I did some research and I discovered the Seeder app does a better job than what is built into Pimp My Rom which is why my guide has them as separate steps. Basically Seeder is a more evolved concept.

CrossBreeder is even better than Seeder because it uses hardware entropy instead of software (less CPU cycles), but the newer versions do a lot of DNS and ad blocking stuff we don't need or want so I have to find a way to basically cut CrossBreeder down to just its entropy tricks. Maybe finding an old version before the developer added all the other stuff.

I need to get that working and I need to nail down V6 SuperCharger. V6 SuperCharger gives a huge boost to RAM management beyond kernel tuner but is kinda a pain to make a guide about. Oh and eventually I want to add your keymap discoveries. Data2SD might be a bridge too far.
