[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomniac13:
First off - every time I try to download the KFFirstAide32.zip it fails, times out, or only downloads part of it and stops downloading. Does anyone have a better link or a more solid download (e.g. one not from Dropbox)?

Second - Is there a way to reroute the soft home key to open a custom launcher installed on the side. I would like to still have the standard launcher usable (as I use Kindle books for textbooks and such and I would still like to access those) but have the home key always bring me back to the custom launcher (using ADW Launcher EX) and have a shortcut inside ADW that takes me to the carousel launcher.

EDIT: nevermind I found a working KFFirstAide download. I would still like to see something about the second one though.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomniac13:
Alright so I posted this expecting the rooting process to go smoothly but I ended up getting KFFirstAide to run the root process and push all those new useful apks to my device and I open up busybox and it tells me I'm rooted but everything else says I am not. How did that happen and how can I fix that? Should I just rerun the root process? I haven't had good luck with Root Many Android and Qemu.

EDIT: When I run through the root process it says I should get a superuser popup request but no such popup occurs. Anything I can do to fix that so the next step doesn't fail? Every time I run through the Root Many Android runme.bat process permission is denied when trying to push all packages. And every time I try to let runme.bat run as administrator it won't let me because the check box is grayed out

Hello fellow XDA members,

I have Galaxy S3 T999 rooted and running the latest AOKP rom (Milestone 1) (4.2.2). Do I need to backup my EFS folder? How would I do this? I have read other forums on XDA about the importance of the EFS folder, but none of the backing up methods worked. Could I just plug my phone in to my computer, and copy the EFS folder straight to it?

Thanks,

Really excited about cm10.1 on the kfhd but my wife I fear has an understandable deal breaker, she lets the kindle read aloud to her using the tts ability in the kindle app but the play store kindle app does not have this ability...

Has anyone ported the app or does anyone know a work around other than stripping drm and using a second app?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
You can pull the .apk from the Kindle and install it on CM10.1, try to see if that will work. If you've got Hashcode's TWRP installed, make a backup of the ROM you're on, then use a file manager with root access to go into the /system folder, copy the .apk and move the copy to /sdcard, then transfer it to your computer. After you load CM10.1, move the .apk to the tablet again and install it. If it works, you're good to go. If it doesn't, and you're not happy, boot into recovery and restore the backup, and you'll be back to where you were before CM10.1.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] nikbedwell:
Hi, i've had my XDA II from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.

I sometimes see icons in the Navigation Bar that aren't described in the manuals:

- [G] 'white square with blue capital G' sometimes appears momentarily and then goes again.

- when connected to my PC in the USB craddle, i get to see the "Connection is active" icon (<- over -> icon with signal strength), but I expect to see the syncronisation icons?

Many thanks in advance.

PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lonegunman:
The little [G] means that GPRS is on but why it goes away again is strange unless you dont have GPRS on your account, this is the same for all the smartphones/PPC, as for the other thing not sure don't have a XDA II.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] patrick_dube:
Actually, I too have this 'feature' (problem). When rebooting the Pocket PC Phone Edition (XDA II) 1.60.36 WWE it sometimes show the G Icon. On my COMPAL AR1100 it always shows the G(PRS) icon.

The GPRS is activated and well wrking on my account and phone.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chriswo:
The "G" only appears when GPRS is found and started when the radio starts.

Sometimes when the phone is turned on, you might get connected to the GSM first, but GPRS might not have been found thus no "G". When you don't see this "G", you'll normally have to wait longer when trying to connect to your GPRS services. And sometimes this "G" only came on after 20 or 30 minutes or even longer after you turn on your phone. :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Georg Graz:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chriswo:
Georg, I'm using your Tweak and set to "Search GPRS on strat GPRS connection" instead of "on start Radio". However, I noticed that my BT icon have since disappeared from the main screen. Is this normal?

There's an option "Higher priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks". What does that do?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Georg Graz:
1.1) [BT] icon show when BlueTooth is enabled. (In info bubble)

1.2) [G] icon show after GPRS connect if set is "Search GPRS on start GPRS connection".(In info bubble)

1.3) The [BT] icon on the main screen always show.(On main screen) This not change the GB-SOFT Tweak.

[Nexus 4 General] Antiflash:
What if you want to compare your battery life with other people using the same Nexus 4. You can do a subjective assessment like the ones in this long tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1992627&highlight=battery . But every body uses their phone differently and have different programs installed.

I was thinking what could be a good test that complies with the following:

•	Be Simple

•	Be Repeatable

•	Be Comparable between users

•	Can spot hardware failure in the battery / charging system.

What do you think of this procedure

1.	Backup your phone

2.	Charge it 100% and keep it plugged

3.	Take out your SIM

4.	Do a factory reset (wipe/format)

5.	Do the initial configuration skipping everything (no simcard, no wi-fi, no google account, no name)

6.	Go to display settings and set brightness to maximum.

7.	Turn off Wi-Fi

8.	Shut down the phone

9.	Disconnect it from the charging cord

10.	Turn on your phone.

11.	Click on the clock on the home screen and start the StopWatch.

12.	The stopwatch screen will prevent the screen to turn off.

13.	Wait for your phone to die and record the time it lasted

14.	Share how long it lasted in this thread

This would be a synthetic test (does not resemble a real usage scenario) but also is comparable and repeatable because does not measeure a lot of variables or differences between set ups.

RESULTS:

First charge

Battery time 6h 02m

Here is a screen shot taken just before it died.

Second charge

Battery 5h 53m

And an screen shoot taken after charge it again and then turn it on

I can only explain that the in the second charge the battery lasted less because in the first charge I left the charger connected a couple of hours after it reach 100% but in the second charge I started the battery test the moment It showed reached 100%.
[Nexus 4 General] Antiflash:
It just died at 6h02m. This is for the first charge of a new phone. I really don't know if this batteries have to be conditioned or not. I will ran the test again tomorrow.

Hopefully someone can replicate for the test to be useful.

With my old epic 4g touch I'd only get a max of 1.5hrs and that's while using airplane mode with my phone in my locker. I'm fine with how long this phone lasts...

[Nexus 4 General] vikramkhalsa:
Might try this when I get the time. I've tried a lot of different things and cant get more than 3 hours of screen time on a single charge. It Usually gets me through the day but not always.. standby seems to have improved with 4.2.2.. But when I read about all these people who get 5-6hrs of screen on time with similar usage I'm obviously going to feel like somethings wrong since I have the same phone.. So yeah, I'd like to see if on a standardized test we get the same battery.. then we can slowly narrow down other factors to figure out whats causing the difference.. Cause even with battery stats I dont know why mine isn't lasting as long as other peoples..
[Nexus 4 General] Drtro:
Comparing to my iPhone 4S

When downloading apps and browsing the web and stuff, I give the edge to the iPhone. I can stream Slacker Radio and browse the web for about 4-5 hours before hitting 20%. The Nexus only lasts me about 3 1/2 hours. Not a big deal.

Standby also goes to the iPhone. I can fall asleep at night and wake up with about 3-5% drain. The Nexus is about a 10% drain.

The Nexus wins at charge time though. I can fully charge it in less than an hour. The iPhone takes at least 1 1/2 hours.

The Nexus also wins with WiFi. I see no difference in battery drain when connected to WiFi or it turned off. The iPhone takes some noticeable drain when using WiFi.

I give the trophy to the iPhone. Although Android completely voids the inferior battery. Nexus > iPhone.

Updated results

I have updated the original post with updated results.

Hopefully someone do the test for comparison.
[Nexus 4 General] younix258:
Actually theres a great reason to check. If you can make it thru the day with a phone with a crapped out battery, that wont be an issue for you but it will be an issue for the next person who owns your phone. It matters because of the resale value of your phone. If you can get an rma that will benefit the next owner, then you should do it just so that it sells better in the future.

So you run the test and find out your phone is damaged on arrival even if you didnt notice at first, and you get it replaced.

It would be very interesting to find that everyone's battery lasts approx the same lol under this situation.

The only limitation of this method is that we do not take into account any leakage of a certain, a more or less efficient processor or modem on someones phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Antiflash:
It is funny because this is actually why I crated this test. This phone is a RMA replacement of the one I had before with battery issues. It was a pain to know for sure if the problem of my previous Nexus were SW or HW related in this forum I only found subjective opinions on battery life. Nothing to compare and be 100% sure it was in fact a defective battery and not some misbehave app.

So at least I now have a base line to compare if some battery life problems arise again.

Waiting for someone else to run the test to see if results are similar in other nexus 4

CM10.1 Lag Fix version 2​

The first version by me is baked into cm10.1 by epinter already, this is the new one.

This update is made by me and will be baked into cm10.1 (epinter) as soon as he diffs it.

This build prop works okay*for me, but not 100%!

Instructions: To apply the tweaks and scripts to CM/PAC/CARBON etc...

(1. Download the attached file below.

(2. Flash it in Clockworkmod recovery.

(3. Enjoy.

What does this do? Enable both cores on high, free a tad more ram and graphics tweaks through properties and init.d...

VERY Close to fixing 100% of the problem. But I cant get my other source to work.

Download - Codex01-CM10.1PreformanceEnhancements-3.0.1.zip
[Motorola Atrix HD] Swiftb12305:
so does battery life take a hit with both cores enabled?

No, I included more than performance there's now power saving, connection, and media init.d scripts and props.

Thanks thats good to know about to flash now.

Update: I definitely see a performance difference.

Nope i get into CMW.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ryuben2k:
Is there a way i can recover CMW?
[Motorola Atrix HD] DeerSteak:
This does make everything a bit smoother. Animation is still kinda herky-jerky but for a ROM that's been around for less than a week developed by a guy who doesn't even own one (epinter says he doesn't have an MB886 available to him), this is super impressive.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Codex01:
Try flashing it again [MENTION=4498884]ryuben2k[/MENTION]. What version and which model, from what I hear, the Photon 4G LTE is not a good choice of recovery. Make sure you flash the Razr HD recovery. If all goes well with the millions of init.d scripts I'm writing I'll have version 3 by tomorrow.
[Motorola Atrix HD] worlddominatiin:
Is this specifically for cm10.1 or will it work for PAC rom?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Codex01:
Yes, because PAC is a port into our cm10.1 sources. [MENTION=4998516]worlddominatiin[/MENTION]

[Motorola Atrix HD] Codex01:
Okay might be a while because my Google site page for this got reformatted, and I'm trying to get some other stuff done, this may lead to the early to late am maybe even pm. Because of scripts for not only cm, PAC, and AOKP... But now root box too.... Hope you guys understand.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Byakko Custom:
So later this night or tomorrow night?

No problem... I might be awake to try this out still...

[Motorola Atrix HD] Codex01:
Sorry for my absence and delay of development, it was due to a family emergency. I'm not home right now, I'm using mobile hotspot while I'm in Daytona for a while. Hopefully I can get this project up. Please be patient while I'm syncing my sources now on my laptop.

To answer your question on what this update will contain: It will contain additional scripts in init.d, as well as a new sysctl script.

OP UPDATE: New Beta is up, not a whole lot of changes till tonight.

Hello! :) That's my first thread here and I read pretty much discussions and thread in the forum before posting it, so :)

I have the Ace 2 phone like all of you here, and first I want to say Thanks to all the developers and people helping about the progress of this low-mid tiered pretty hand phone.

I got it like before a month and now I flashed it with the leaked MB4 JB, at the beginning was kinda choppy and laggy, but after (disabling the Adjust screen tone and enabling force gpu rendering) I pretty much got a quite good performance for a leaked version... Still as I got the MB4 one and I saw there is another one MC8 my question is simply:

If anyone had tried both versions - MC8 and MB4 ones can he please tell me the pros and cons of both and simply which one has a better overall performance ?

Second, more important question is - > CAN I REPLACE MB4 WITH MC8 WITH ODIN? W/O downgrading to GB again?

Thanks for your help in advance :)

Peace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astankov:
Yes you can replace mb4 with mc8 without installing gb. That even is the best way to do it. After that you have to remove the TMN bloatware - that is easy just uninstall it. If you decide to root the phone you can restore the original boot animation. MC8 is smoother than mb4 and is bug free - no battery drain or black lock screen so give it a try - you can always come back to mb4 if you dont lake it.

Regards!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astankov:
Bloatware is just branded software preinstalled by TMN - you can remove it like you uninstall ordinary programs because is useless. There is no need to wipe data or factory reset do it if you want. To install mc8 just load the .tar.md5 file in Odin PDA field and flash it and you are done. All your apps will not be deleted.

Good Luck!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulgariaTM:
Thank you very much!

I've upgraded MB4 to MC8, main reason I did that is because I felt some choppy and laggy parts in the MB4 (which was suprisingly bug-free for me) but still didn't like the performance, now I flashed the MC8 one with stock kernel and CWM 6 so I am quite happy for now (uninstalled the bloatware) it's feeling kinda lighter now, and battery is holding more.

Still I have a little problem:

When I was on GB the game Subway surfers sydney was floating and runing perfect, in MB4 was choppy and laggy sometimes, now it's kinda spikey, I mean it's almost lag-free but the whole experience is not as back than... Anyone with the same problem? Every other game is floating - gta, mw , dead trigger, anything.. Only subway is laggy a bit... I mean whole playage of the game..

Thanks in advance
