:shock: we all know that xda2 stanby time accdg to O2 is 11hrs....HEllo!!

my unit lasts only for 6 hrs! Even if im lowering down my brightness

to the lowest. Can i charge my Li-ion bat even it still has 50%? will it

affect its life?...thnks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] hatamata:
No, Li-Ion do not suffer from memory effect. That was the main problem with older Ni-Cads and to some extend in Ni-Mh.

On the contrary, never use up the whole charge of the Li-Ion battery, this will exhaust the battery and shorten its life.

Li-Ion can be charged when it has any amount of charge in it, But you must use the OEM charger, any other charger may harm the battery as it cant detect when the battery is full. Li-Ions are very sensitive for over charge and may be damaged.

But has in mind two things about Li-Ions, their life limit is about three years in the average and that Excess charging and discharging will use the cycle count (each time you connect your battery to a charger is called cycle, even if it is for a short moment) so don't use up your cycles limit which is about 500 in Li-Ion.

Also, be aware of heat, never make your battery suffer from heat and temps close to or above 60 C, each time you do that you lose about 20% of the capacity of your battery. (if you leave the battery in the direct sun for a while in some places in the world, this can easily make it's temp pass that limit, and the internal thermometer in the battery cant stop this damage, it is designed to stop charging the battery when it's temp rise while being charged).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] GoldenSands:
Hatamata, that was very usefull information to share with us about the Lithium batteries..

Thanks a lot.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james99obrien:
Ok, so I've rooted and flashed rasbeanjelly from the nexus4root(dot)com website.

I've set everything up, down loaded apps I want etc, however I've heard that trinity kernel is very good with this ROM, if I'm wrong and there's a better kernel correct me. So how do I install the kernel? Same way I did the ROM? Is it compatible? Do I have to wipe everything? Is there a better kernel to use?

Thanks a lot for reading.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Just flash the .zip in recovery, no need to wipe anything. There's no 'best' kernel so your question about better kernels could easily get 20 different replies.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james99obrien:
Ok thanks for your reply, what about compatibility? I've heard that if ROMs and kernels aren't compatible it can brick your phone :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
As long as the kernel and ROM you download are for the N4 it should be perfectly fine. In the future with new releases of Android there may be some issues, but devs usually make it pretty clear in the OP what you risk by flashing your phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You heard wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
rasbean and trinity are very compatible :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MySGSAndMe:
Hi,

yesterday I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P5110 and flashed CM 10.1 RC2.

First I worked like but then it freezes and just leaves a black screen. If I press the power button for about 10 seconds the backlight goes on for a couple of seconds and then again a black screen.

It seems that the tablet is frozen. If I connect it to my PC it will be mounted as "GT-5110" and I have access to the intern and extern sd-card. If I ping the ip address I get a response.

But I can not turn it off! Tried a lot of power, power+louder, power+silencs button combinations.

Any ideas what I can do now?

Thanks!

I can't get the ps3 controller to work on official cm10.1 and apparently there is a bug with the Bluetooth drivers or something that is stopping it from working... I was told to try a sense based ROM as it works with those... But I really don't like sense. Can anyone vouch for a ROM that works with sixaxis and the controller that isn't sense based???

Cheers in advance...

This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for S4.

Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:

[COLOR=#8b008b]<item [COLOR=#ff0000]type[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="drawable"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]name[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="tw_navigationbar_bg"[/COLOR]>[/COLOR]#ff000000[COLOR=#8b008b]</item>[/COLOR]

Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.

Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.

Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

You can also enable it now through framework-res method.

Reboot and your done.

Please hit thanks and give credits.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JibbaJoy:
Hi OP,

This looks just what I've been waiting for - if only there was a way to disable the stock menu and back buttons; my only gripe with the S4 is that I'm always touching one of theses buttons accidentally :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gharrington:
This can easily be done when I find time I will add how to.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruzski:
works perfect but no text under buttons below :( could you add them:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] janjan:
I can´t find the /values/drawables after extracted the SystemUI.apk ? And where to add the following code please.

<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>

missing /values/drawables

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41923164/Untitled.png
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruzski:
you have to put <item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item> inside drawables.xml, you can find it under decompiled SystemUI.apk /res/values

edit: copy the files to SystemUI.apk/res and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 with root explorer (text editor mode) in build.prop

;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] janjan:
But after decompiled SystemUI.apk. /res/values is missing. Se the picture which i post above. thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruzski:
decompiled SystemUI.apk doesn't seem complete !! do you get errors while decompiling ? what version of apktool do you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] janjan:
I am using APK-Multi-Tool-Stable-RELEASE which is the latest version. no error during decompiling.. Which version do you use? Iam going to decompile it once again.

Edit.. still missing https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41923164/missing.png

it seems this method is not working for me. i followed the instructions on the OP

include framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk with "apktool if"

decomplie systemui.apk

modify res/values/drawables.xml to include <item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>

copy and replace files from the Navigation.zip into the res folder

recompile systemui.apk

i get a lot of [MENTION=5161910]Styles[/MENTION] errors and no default warnings when i try to compile

I tried using both latest version of apktool v152 and aapt from feb 2013 method and apkmanager v6.1 method and the results are the same

after i cleared the [MENTION=262514]style[/MENTION] warnings with the "+" solution I am able to compile systemui.apk but when I copy it onto my device I lost the status bar and I still cant enable the navigation bar.

anyone else getting the same results?

Decompile errors

I'm trying to decompile SystemUI.apk (copied it from my phone "system\app" to "\place-apk-here-for-modding" folder) using ApkManager V6.1.

I'm getting an error message. Can somebody help please ? Log is attached.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
Ok. I was able to decompile SystemUI.apk using ApkManager V6.1. The problem was in missing framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk in "apktool" folder.

Now I'm getting errors on apk compilation. Please take a look at the attached log file. What am I missing now ?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
I just noticed that I have exactly the same problem as you are. Were you able to get it working ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gharrington:
Its is more difficult decompiling and recompiling S4 SystemUI and I don't have time to write a tut now so 2 options

Use this you can turn nav bar on off with settings app or

Use this SystemUI.apk I have done the work for you it will recompile as normal and the only mod is %battery apart from that it is stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
Thank you !

One question before I proceed with your advice. I have Canadian SGH-I337M version with rooted stock I337MUMUAMDJ rom.

Can I use your SystemUI.apk (%battery mode) with my ROM ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gharrington:
People have reported this working but just make a backup first nothing ventured nothing gained;)

All I do is have 2 zips on my sdcard the original and the modded one if the mod fails simply boot into recovery and reflash original it takes 1 min to be up and running again;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruzski:
If you get an error in decompiling the apk, remove the "system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" from the layout folder

(SystemUI.apk\res\layout\). Don't forget to put the files back after compiling the modded statusbar.

:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
Decompiling is fine - no errors. I'm getting errors when compiling.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

No, unfortunately your systemui.apk is not compatible with my Rom.

I need to solve compilation errors. Any advice on that?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruzski:
you are getting errors because you didn't remove those 2 files before decompiling

look for system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml

check your log;)

first remove the files from systemui.apk with 7z and put them somewhere safe, second decompile systemui.apk, make your adjustments then compile and copy the files back again.:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
Thank you ! It works now! :)

There are few problems with the Navigation Bar and TouchWiz launcher.

1. The first row of icons on the home screen is shifted up. There is a big space between Navigation bar and the first row of icons.

2. "Page indicators - small dots" are missing on the App page

3. Camera buttons are partially hidden behind the Nav Bar.

4. Is it possible to substitute "Recent Apps" button with the Menu button ? How ?

Thank you !

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hocgwai:
Im able to compile but when it boots I lose the notification bar and I cant enable the navigation bar. Did you start with a deodexed systemui.apk? what is your workflow?

TIA
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fmark:
I had your problems as well. But it was because I did not use APK Manager correctly and because I had "system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" files inside SystemUI.apk.

I found this guide and followed it closely: http://droidcandy.weebly.com/how-to-use-apk-manager.html

Make sure to delete "system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" files using 7z from SystemUI.apk before you copy it to "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder.

And copy them back into modified SystemUI.apk after compilation (also using 7z).

Also, make sure to carefully follow instructions in regards to the "keep" folder. This is very important.

Don't add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 line to your buil.prop until you see that your modified SystemUI.apk is working fine.

Sorry, I don't know what deodexed means. As I mentioned earlier I have rooted stock ROM (Canadian, Fido).

So I just copied SystemUI.apk from my phone directly.

Hope it helps.

I am trying to duplicate this mod for the Verizon variant of the gs4.

Any thoughts? I am gonna try and figure out how to enable thru framework-res instead, but would rather have a method that can be disable if desired on the fly

Edit: framework-res edit caused the same issue

[HOW TO] Seeder 2.0

(new version) lag

reduction for all android

phones (Root Needed)

Lag reduction for ROOT USERS ONLY!

Many Android tasks run slower than

they should for one simple, yet not-so-

obvious reason: they consume large

amounts of random data from a limited

source. Random data is used to

generate session keys and unique

identifiers, in SSL and wifi, while

starting processes, and during inter-

process communication. This data

(entropy) runs out frequently, and that

causes processes reading from the

blocking device (if any) to temporarily

stop responding (lag). These processes

cannot continue until the Linux kernel

repopulates the entropy pool, which

takes time. In addition, input events are

pulled from the user interface (to refill

the pool), which may also contribute to

the problem. Seeder is a service for root

users. It assists the kernel in "topping

off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it

with data from the non-blocking (high

performance) random device.

Optionally, it can also help alleviate

MMC I/O contention by extending the I/

O queue, allowing the I/O scheduler to

make better decisions, and combine

more writes. On some devices,

applications load significantly faster

(particularly large ones like Facebook,

Chrome, and Youtube), and task

switching becomes effortless. Fewer

visual "hiccups" occur. You MUST be

running a rooted device to use this

application!
