[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Lol if i could install and setup v6 then ANYONE can! It actually has a very well put together setup UI. It walks you through everything step by step and you get to choose what mods you want to activate. A lot of people here have great experiences with that tweak, my phone just didn't like it.

Also, check out wolfscript. Its a much smaller package but i found it quite effective. I flashed it and my phone has received a note worthy boost in performance
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OffTheTimeline:
So I found wolfscript and dl'd the new version... its been about an hour and yes it does seem to have made my G2x snappier :)

I might just leave this phone the way it is now if it ever goes back to my wife instead of flashing it back to stock/rooted!

Sent from my now snappier with wolfscript G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OffTheTimeline:
ok.... now the question is what exactly is 'Seeder entropy generator' (which came with wolfscript) and how does it reduce lag if wolfscript already does? :confused:

thanks again to all!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Honestly...couldn't tell ya. Its meant to help those who use their phones to play games defeat lag. I don't use it often. Only feature that i actively use is the "boost" or "adrenaline" feature which merely helps clear up some ram by killing unnecessary background apps.

To use boost open terminal emulator and enter 'su' to grant super user permissions and then enter 'boost.'

On Digitimes "Samsung reportedly to phase out from microSD card market" as you can see it is being reported that Samsung plans to phase out microSD cards http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130507PD224.html. Also, consider if they go the way of Amazon, Nexus and the rest with no microSD cards--no way for users to warehouse their own data. Therefore requiring an internet connection to access your own data, then there will be few products out there with microSD cards and the storage you buy will be all you have unless you want to store your information on remote servers "cloud" to be accessed only if you have a web connection.

To voice your opinion about microSD cards you can email officeofthepresident@sea.samung.com and input. The more people who input on wanting them to continue to use microSD cards/slots in their future products the better chance they will keep the technology. I know this is a matter of choice and everyone feels differently about it, but, if you value having microSD please contact Samsung.

UPDATE:

Samsung did respond to my email and said they have inquired about who issued the statement, to the division that handles the microSD card products. At this time, they will work to validate the info for additional review & consideration. Of course, they appreciated the interest & input. One thing my email did was let them know someone appreciated having the microSD slots & cards.

It is very ugly that every company is getting more greedy to get money out people's pocket. This reminds me about someone who have thoughts about companies making larger apps for android in order to make a bigger storage devices just to earn more money. The whole concept about android is the open source codes, but now you have the codes but lack the devices. Android is getting more like apple I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] edirector:
Think about when you install a custom rom using clockwork mod and installing the zip from the externalSD card and that not being there and having to use your laptop if the devs have to develop roms that you have to side-load then install the zip using the device's install system. With 16GBs on-board you are lucky if you get 11GBs free space after the system apps are loaded on. To get 32GBs or higher than you have to buy that out the door. Not like they are making tablets that you can just out-the-box hook to an external drive.

AllThingsD (Wall Street Journal) published an article yesterday that 21st century currency is user information and that users need to get used to "not having any privacy" using technology as rent payment for accessing digital content.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Techlyfe:
All I Can Say is wow!!! I'm choosing the S4 over the HTC one for 2 Reasons and one of them happens to be the sdcard Slot, the other of course is the Replaceable Battery. If they had removed the option this go around I would be sporting an HTC one right now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] bluecarbon:
I agree, well to a point, android's OS is still way more lenient. I'm just glad someone acknowledged Google's hand In this. It is not just Samsung, Google is trying to move away from using sdcards and towards bigger internal memory, so it's just a matter of time before the vast majority of companies move in that direction, IMO.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

One does not really need to use an external SD, he can always install internally.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
In there defense, the cost of internal storage is dropping and the capacities are finally where they need to be to be viable to not need an SD card to have enough storage on a device. the only bad thing is that now we HAVE to buy the highest capacity instead of the lowest one and just adding a card.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] bluecarbon:
Good point, and I understand their other concerns, like having apps on the sdcard, coupled with multi users could cause problems. It just sucks, because many people enjoy having the ability to have convenient, removable storage.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
I am on your side, I don't like having to pay top dollar to get the capacity I want, so I won't be in the market till my tab 2 breaks. Apple as much as I hate them did this for a reason and the other companies are following that reason now, the reason is sdcards vary greatly in speed and reliability so if they don't let you use one they control the flash memory 100% and it allows them to optimize the device for the particular flash memory they use, ultimately it gives you better overall performance not having some random cheap sdcard in the device and thats what they are trying to do and I can understand that even if I don't like what it means cost wise.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] edirector:
Yes, you do when installing custom roms instead of side-loading the zip from a laptop to the device. Also, good for easy swapping and having unlimited storage capacity. I store a couple in my tablet case because I have different things on different cards & total over 500 apps. Last thing I want is having to "need" a web connection to access my own info. Also the DOJ is now saying they don't need a warrant for digital content--email, FaceBook, Twitter or cloud storage to access the info they need despite 4th amendment protection. MicroSD cards gives you some data privacy everyone doesn't want to live a public life.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] rorymc928:
I agree with the value of removable cards, much more flexible.

However the article doesn't say Samsung is considering removing SD card slots, but is considering moving out of the manufacture of SD cards.

It is possible that may be their final intent though.

It is apparent they have now established a specification difference from htc by retaining them,I don't think they'll be in a hurry to abandon that advantage.

How many of us would have considered an htc one if both had the same lack of ,or inclusion of SD card slot .

I would have
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] bluecarbon:
I agree that it makes it much easier, and love having an external sdcard, but you can also download a ROM to your device, and install it from there. Just did it earlier today, because my sdcard is getting full. And i guess it would also suck if you were building ROMs, so i do see your point.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Sarkastik18:
Samsung should have really allowed the Tab 2 to save apps and whatnot to the external SD card. They clearly marketed it with 16gb of storage with 32gb expansion, but not that the expansion will be as limited as it is.

Do we have to unroot the Att Galaxy s4 to update. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SysAdmNj:
I took the update while being rooted. If you dont save your root, it will remove your root unless you back it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
This is being discussed in the various update threads. Some swear they were able to update while rooted. However, most note that they lost root after the update. Others, like myself, who have modified ANYTHING after rooting are unable to get the update to run without flashing back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] phonetechkid:
If I changed build prop can I just change it back and install update. Or do I still have to unroot. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cpufrost:
Mine failed at 30%.

Turns out I used the mods for tethering. Renaming files allowed it to update.

This is why you NEVER delete those files in the system directory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kxyeoh:
No, but updating will remove root access. Just use the same method you used to root in the first place and all will be normal

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
Looks like I should unpatch my Email apk and try the update again before rooting my phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cpufrost:
Not sure about deleting them. I froze a ton of apps in TB, really treading with caution here as without CWM it's going to be PITA to get it going again! This is my work phone and even though I have plenty of other phones that take micro sims I have a lot of special apps I need so doing it (at least during the week LOL) would be a major impediment to me.

If you nix APKs the updater can't find them and aborts. That is what I have read anyway and renaming the original and odex file back worked.

Of course I had to re-root but that was no problem.

I may be stuck with this ROM in the meantime but I positively cannot work without a rooted phone. It would be like riding a motorcycle with square wheels. Ok that may be exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SysAdmNj:
Well if you odin back to stock you should get back anything you may have deleted, no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] phonetechkid:
I mean if I deleted some att apps will the update still work. Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SysAdmNj:
I dont know but what I suggested to you worked for someone else and they got the update.

I am unable to run the update as well. I have used ODIN to restore to factory but the update still failed after 30%. I even performed a master reset and wiped all data from the phone. After the reset I ran update and it again failed at 30%. Was hoping someone more senior on the forums would know what the issue may be? I an new to Android, being an iPhone user since the beginning, and cannot figure out why the update is not applying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got an issue with my i9100 running the latest version of ParanoidAndroid (3.15, on JB 4.2.2). I think this is most likely a question for the Dev forums, but I can't post there yet, so here I go.

I've wiped my phone several times, reinstalled several version of the image, along with several versions of gapps, but whenever when the phone reboots it's missing play, gmail and several others. I've managed to download and install play separately, but whenever I open it, it closes immediately.

Any ideas?

Do not flash several versions of GApps. Only flash the correct version (to kmow which version to use, check the PA thread).

Play doesn't work independently, it's dependent on certain other Google services which gets automatically installed when you flash gapps and the issue with the loss of gapps on reboot you better ask there, must be a bug as 4.2.2 is still far from being perfect.

If there do not provide what I would consider ample storage I would just move to another manufactures device that did or still used external storage.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
To be clear, though, the article is not about Samsung discontinuing microSD support on its devices. It does not address that.

The article says that Samsung is going to stop making microSD cards. I don't know that I've bought Samsung flash in a microsd package - I may have, but there will continue to be other vendors.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] edirector:
So you think they will provide microSD card slots so users can continue to use them & buy (give money to) another vendor? Not sure whether they will or not but we can input if we appreciate having microSD capability by letting them know instead of waiting to see what they do.

I guess they will stop making phone with microusb and there are people out here buying micro usb cables from other vendors. :D
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] edirector:
Not saying that either but best to be safe than sorry. Lot easier to install a custom rom from a external SD then using your laptop to always side-load them.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] redpoint73:
This has little or no bearing on removable MicroSD support on Samsung devices. They probably don't make batteries, yet they still make phones that use batteries (and therefore "giving money to another vendor").

The computer memory market in general is incredibly competitive, and not horribly profitable. I didn't even know Samsung made MicroSD cards to begin with. Maybe its just me, but they never seemed like a big player in the memory market (like SanDisk, Kingston, etc.), so its not surprising to see them exit it.

Yes, there is some trend to embedded memory on tablets and phones (at least on iPhones, HTC, and some other brands). But as long as there is some demand for removable MicroSD support, Samsung will probbaly continue to offer it. They seem to be carving a niche for themselves in the mobile market, by offering features lacked by other brands.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Its ridiculously easy to load a ROM onto embedded memory by mounting USB, either via recovery or just in the Android OS itself. Not any more complicated than loading a ROM onto a removable MicroSD card using a card reader.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bbfoto:
I use the Samsung "Pro" microSD cards and prefer them over the Sandisk, but it seems that Samsung hasn't really been very aggressive in marketing these products. As far as other Samsung memory products, their 830- & 840-Series SSD drives are tops. I prefer them over the Crucial and Sandisk SDDs as well. I think Samsung makes the bulk of their memory profits from large OEM contracts for on-board memory, such as for Apple iPhone, etc.

As far as Samsung eliminating the mSD card slot on their future devices, that would certainly be a bummer IMO, but only time will tell if this becomes a reality.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] edirector:
Samsung responded to my email. They said they are researching the source of that article statement and that it would be something they would announce to customers. They, of course, appreciated the input and forwarded the inquiry to the appropriate department for clarity. So writing does help and they did respond. One thing it did, was let them know someone appreciated having microSD cards & slots.
[HTC One S] lojak29:
Why is it that almost every if not every Rom made for one s s4 requires boot.img to be flashed before flashing the Rom

This device is not user friendly at all with Rom flashing

Samsung is a breeze ,so why is it that on other HTC devices boot.img are included in the flashing process ,hassle free with the one s you either have to fastboot flash it from a pc first ,when not everyone has a pc around .

What's the reasoning behind this boot.img prior to flaahing any actual Rom
[HTC One S] npiper05:
If you achieve S off you don't have to flash the boot.img

[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
You can also flash boot.img via recovery if you have hboot below 1.13. This is a limitation of the htcdev unlock, I believe.
[HTC One S] real187:
No its a limitation of the higher hboot.

Not the unlockmethod because the hboot doesn't change.

Verstuurd van mijn HTC One S met Tapatalk
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Well, technically, since htcdev unlock does not give you S-OFF, it IS a limitation.
[HTC One S] lojak29:
Point taken, still a sucky device in my opinion , its def a bottom end phone shoulda kept my s3 ....

On a side note ,I have been able to flash Roms without s off on other Htc devices

Never had to flash boot.img separate even with s on with my EVO lte or droid DNA both had s on.

Must be just this device only or maybe a few more others ,its still a huge hassle with newer hboot.

Even soft bricked earlier and lost my nandroid, had mount usb storage and download a Rom and sideload it into twrp just to get off the HTC one logo bootloop.

This was before I realized about the flashing boot.img prerequisite
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
This may be an ok point at best. Lots of phones are different in their abilities to customize, the ease of customization, and similarly, the ease of replacing phone hardware. But your point above is essentially moot due to how easily devs have made the s-off process. Sorry, but that is true. Say what you want, your comments may have been relevant last year (and indeed, the hboots post 1.09 were worth complaining about)... But not in 2013. And if you can somehow go through the bootloader unlocking process but cant take the extra few steps to get s-off (since it seems to difficult?) well then I dont know whats wrong... And I still dont understand how not being able to go through the S-OFF process makes this a bottom end phone? And how your soft bricking makes it a bottom end phone (bc of course its the phones fault and not yours, right?) Idk but if you dont like the phone go back to your S3... But dont say that this phone is objectively worse.... Its better for some people, and maybe not better for others.
[HTC One S] real187:
But it is never ment to give soff.

I don't know a single manufacturer that is willing to give soff on their devices.

Since lower hboots flash the bootfile.

[HTC One S] usaff22:
This device has worked perfectly for me. IMO, a thousand times better than the S3. The HTC One doesn't require S-OFF to flash the boot.img within recovery, so they must have changed their stance recently. Still, one of the first things when you flash a ROM is to learn how to flash it. It is in every ROM, you need to flash the boot.img. I don't think it is the device's fault if a user will not read instructions.
