Nope, if you're happy to root using Siyah and Odin, that's perfectly legitimate & how I rooted my i9100. Many people prefer Philz as it doesn't require a pc, but either way is a good way. I personally prefer siyah as it doesn't matter what build number you're on. So, go ahead!

Good luck :)

Laggy performance after JB 4.1.2

Hello there..

I got a GT 7.7, I was on stock ICS 4.0.4 .. i installed the stock JB 4.1.2 and the performance was very laggy even worse than Honeycomb, i was advised to backup my apps via titanium backup, wipe cache and date from the cwm recovery and restore my apps again. I successfully did that and the performance was a bit better but lots of apps crash and restart!

The biggest problem is when i open any app specially a web browser or a game then go to home screen or use another app for a while and get back to the browser again its like i open it from the beginning "the browser tabs reloaded and if a game it restarts".. This problem was on honeycomb and was solved by installing Go Launcher and was fully solved by installing the ICS.. Is there a solution for the JB?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark Wraith:
The lag problem might be with the stock rom. There are lots of faster JB 4.1.2 custom roms out there.Your device's ram and processor speed is more than enough to run JB very smoothly. As far as crashing of apps is concerned after app restore,its natural as some apps might not be compatible with JB. Personally,i dont like restoring backup data from a different rom to a new rom as i have noticed that it slows down your system considerably most of the times.

There is no minimize option in android.When you go to home screen or run a different app,the current app goes to the background and gets suspended in the memory. When you go back to that app or browser page again,the app might be open in background but the data inside will be reloaded. this is actually a feature in android to make the device fast and buttery smooth.

So siya is good thanks :) so basically I will just find siya version for 4.1.2 JB XWLSS and root through pc. But wanted to ask what if it fail is there any way to get phone work again? Thanks for helping :)

EDIT: Almost forgot I wanted to ask one more thing I found tutorial for rooting and just to be sure, turn debugging mode on put phone to download mode and connect it to pc. Odin should show me device and after that just click pda and load siyah right? Just want to make sure this is the right way to do it since I've seen/read few tutorials and I got confused.
[General Questions and Answers] egydreamer:
Thank u so much for the reply.. I was thinking that the problem was about the app restore i just didnt want to loose my games progress and other stuff.. About the minimize thing lol im really a noob didnt know it doesnt exist in android but it was working perfectly with me in ICS and Go Launcher and i wanna have that performance back if its possible with a stock rom??

I am thinking of getting Asus Zenfone 2 551ML (Intel) or the Zenfone Selfie (Snapdragon 615).

I currently have Zenfone 5 with Intel processor and from experience and posts which I have read, it seems Intel is good for performance but bad for battery life. It also tends to heat up when multitasking, or using Youtube. I dont play much games, so cannot comment on that.

I was tilting towards the Snapdragon based Selfie, even though I have not much need for the 13MP front camera, but I read somewhere that even the Snapdragon 615 tends to heat up. Though I think battery usage-wise it should be better.

Anyone would like to comment on this ?

Screen Resolution Modification in ROM, Kernel etc.

Query: I found a ROM of ALMOST same specs (different screen resolution) phone as mine. Is there anyway I can change the screen resolution of that ROM and then flash it in my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes it is, go to about phone and tap the build number at least 7 times repeatedly, that will enable developer options, then go back and above the about option you'll see developer options, open it, find root access and set it to apps and adb.

All ROMs have developer options, stock and custom, every device has to at least be able to turn on USB debug.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

You need to do more than change screen resolution, the whole thing needs to be ported to work with your device.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Contact HP, they may send you a link to the firmware you need. Not every devices firmware is available to download online. Some you have to get directly from the manufacturer.
[General Questions and Answers] itsmefarhan:
Ok, ROM belongs to a phone having 720 x 1280 pixels while my phone has 540 x 960 pixels. Is there any porting guide which can help me in porting that ROM including kernel and make it compatible for my phone?

Note: ROM I want to port is lollipop while I am using KitKat
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I could be wrong but I don't think you can port between two different android versions, not easily anyway, it'll probably involve things that you won't find in a guide. The guides typically use two ROMs of equal android versions. It will probably require things you don't have the knowledge for. You would need a fair amount of developer skills to make it work.

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

Probably needs an updated modem.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You probably won't be able to do anything with the nandroid backup unless you get the recovery that made it installed on your device. The locked bootloader won't let you flash anything custom.

You're going to need to flash your stock firmware via whatever flashing software is used on your device from PC.

In real need of some help.

I have followed all the steps in the guide at:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705/page136

and converted this file to a VHD. (I have the raw file as well) (29.1 GB).

Tried Recuva, PC Inspector, PhotoRec and what not. They all recover all the photos which were sent through whatsapp, were edited, or were downloaded. I can't recover a single photo from my deleted camera folder which is inside the DCIM folder. I confirm that no data was overwritten when this Camera folder got deleted accidently.

I request fellow members to help me out in retrieving the camera folder pictures. The photos are precious to me and hold memories of the past 3 years.

I was trying to move the camera folder to my laptop using the cut and paste command, when the system hanged. Not even a single file was copied and thereafter I lost access to the camera folder under DCIM.

Hit Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First, stop posting your question all over the place, you'll get reported doing that.

Second, is your device rooted? Do you have custom recovery? Did you ever make a nandroid backup at any point before this?

If so then whatever pics you had at the time the nandroid was made will be in the nandroid. Pull them from the nandroid manually.

Did the camera folder get deleted or just corrupted so that it doesn't show?

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

That makes no sense and won't do them any good. Making the backup may help them recover the photos but what you suggest won't repair the camera folder because wipe data/factory reset in recovery doesn't touch /data/media, it doesn't wipe any of your personal data saved on sdcard.

They are trying to recover photos, how does your suggestion help them do that?
[General Questions and Answers] NeoLogY:
Haha.. You really 1 funny dev. He said he lost the access to the folder, nothing about corrupted sd or boot loop that need any wiping.

If only he backed up his data partition. Let's hope he did.

Not sure if this related, there are softwares that could recover any deleted files, but since your issue wasn't about deleted files but losing access to the folder, I guest, maybe, just maybe related to permission.

Does the size of the folder is more than 1mb?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't have the issue, I was trying to help the member that does have the issue. I'm not sure how much I can give though. And yeah, that dev seems to give a lot of answers that don't make sense, half the time I don't think he understands the question he's answering, lol. I wonder how he does any development because he doesn't seem to understand a lot.

[General Questions and Answers] rockstar1630:
I apologise for posting at multiple places. I thank you for your revert.

1. Device was rooted using CF autoroot through ODIN AFTER the data was lost. Stock firmware was left untouched.

2. CWM recovery was subsequently pushed.

3. Never ever a Nandroid backup was done.

I got a 29.1 GB raw file through ADB. I have mounted it on my PC and there is no camera folder. Recovery softwares recover everything except any of the files those were in the Camera folder. They seem invisible,

However there is an 18.1 GB file in the userdata folder named "Unallocated clusters on EXT volume". I ran Photorec on it. Couldn't gave me any leads or clue to the missing camera folder.

I re-confirm: No fresh data was overwritten on the phone after the loss except rooting and pushing recovery. The estimated size of missing camera folder is 4+ GB.

Thanks once again. I would be grateful and thankful for any help that you can extend on this matter.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, try booting to CWM and make a nandroid backup then either reboot and connect to PC and copy the backup from your clockworkmod folder to your PC or stay in recovery and connect to PC and use adb to copy the backup to PC.

Then use winrar(or any program that can read .tar files) to extract the data from the backup, your photos will be in the data.ext4.tar.a(or the data ext4 with the most bytes)

I'm not sure that will work for you. Usually data recovery isn't easy on android, in some cases recovering data isn't possible.

Can I use a 64gb external memory card for taking this Nandroid backup so that I don't overwrite the internal memory by any chance? (I am a noob).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your device supports 64GB yes, it wouldn't overwrite anything on internal though, it would create a new clockworkmod folder(its probably already there since you installed CWM) and write your backup to there.

No luck. The backup is only 8.71 GB. I extracted the TAR files. Not even a single file which was in Camera. I may be wrong but I feel the file which was a part of RAW file (USERDATA), sized at 18.1 GB might have those files. The file is named as "Unallocated clusters on ext volume". Though it is beyond me, that how do I extract hidden files from there.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know what to tell you. Keep trying but I think you're screwed. As I said, data recovery on android is not always possible.

When you originally tried moving those pics to PC you probably were fine, the size of everything you were moving was rather large, it probably didn't hang, it takes a while to move that much data through USB port anyway. Should have just waited and let it do whatever it was gonna do.
[General Questions and Answers] rockstar1630:
Yes. You are right. Though the operation was cancelled within 10-15 seconds of PC hanging. What surprises me is that there is no trace of camera folder on the internal memory. I even tried recovery softwares, the deleted file lists also has no mention of camera files.

Can you suggest me any paid help through teamviewer. I am based in India and see no Android recovery expert around. All I have is one massive 29.1 GB raw file. :( Please help if you can. Thanks for all the inputs so far.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The camera folder may have been cached into the PC somewhere during the process, if you shutdown or restarted the PC then it probably cleared it from cache on PC. I've never heard of a file just disappearing, it got put somewhere, you just might have wiped it out by accident when you cancelled process or restarted PC.

I don't know of any paid professional to help.
