[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
Can any dev explain the phenomena that I experience with Navigon when altering the Interface DPI with Paranoid Android? Not that they have to, I'm just curious. ;)

If I set the DPI lower than 320, Navigon blows the interface up to freakish levels. Setting Navigon's per-app DPI back to 320 only makes it worse.

To get Navigon to display properly (and like stock 320 DPI), I have to set it to 160 DPI. With the XPosed framework, I can set the DPI back to 320 to remove the graphical glitch and set the app to view as it was before I changed the UI's DPI.

If I want the interface shrunk to match the rest of my UI, which I have at 190 DPI, I have to manually edit to properties.conf file to set the DPI to 100.

If no one can answer, hopefully this will help others who might have experienced this with other apps.

Probably not, as it is designed to be installed in the system, instead of as a user app, and since it is in the gs4 forum, I would assume that our system is different enough from theirs to cause at least an fc, if not bigger issues.

Won't bore you with all the details...

Was unhappy on TWRP 2.5 with Chromi 4.6.7

I knew that you had to install CWM to go to Cyanogenmod, but I couldn't get clockworkmod to let me change the recovery option even after I downloaded a compatible tf700 .img file.

So I got fearless (read stupid) and just used TWRP to install Cyanogenmod.

It worked, but not completely, I have no Play Store, many apps missing. Browser is working, wifi is up, but it never asks me for my google account, and I can't finish installing apps (in particular I wan't to install RomManager so I can try to get CWM installed).

Going back to Stock or Chromi doesn't seem to work. It says "Successful" but it won't boot, I get to an animation which just spins eternally.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well, it's probably the details that will matter... as in: which steps you exactly took to get into this mess...

ASFAIK TWRP is totally fine with CM roms, but did you do a clean install, a full wipe when going from CromiX to CM and then again back?

Also, it sounds as if you did not flash the GAPPS package after you flashed the CM rom.

I would suggest you flash back to CM, flash the GAPPS package and see if you can boot.

Good luck....
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Having no Play Store does signal to me you might have forgotten to flash the GAPPS package.

You're both right. Got help from moderator on CM forum and got everything working.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] vadyr56:
I did a few searches and wasn't really able to pull up much in the way of battery tweaks, what's everyone doing in terms of this? I'm currently running stock rom, all I did was fully update after getting the phone from Sprint and then rooted and proceeded to install twrp using goomanager. I'm coming from the Galaxy S2 running calks GB build, so I'm used to 3 days of battery with heavy usage! I know this phone won't be able to achieve that right out of the gate with the current level of development going on, but I'm sure I can optimize it some how. I'd consider going to a custom ROM and kernel..flashing seems similar to the S2 but I'm nervous!

So before I rooted my s4 I tried the s health app and I could not get past the profile screen. I lost interest after a several attempts. I rooted my phone and still running the stock firmware. I figured after a roughly 1 1/2 months samsung would put through an update. I went to open the s health app and still no luck.

I'm on a version galaxy s 4 and was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Ok so I floated over to the at&T Q&A section and apparently if you have the multi window hack installed on your phone it will cause the s health app to crash!.

I uninstalled the hack and immediately when I opened up s health an update was available. apk was update to version 2.1.5 and I have no issues any more. But i lost the multi window hack which was pretty sweet.

Workaround? Samsung multi-window manager from the Play store.

How bad can a water tower nearby effect not being able to get a gps lock? And to what distance?

My nexus 7 gets a GPS lock pretty easily here while my galaxy nexus doesn't get anything.

If I go to my brothers house done ways away my GPS is fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Quick answer: no effect

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Sounds like you have another issue. Could be hardware (n7 better gps than gnex?), ROM (running stock, or custom?), settings/mods (have you tweaked anything), apps, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Garridon:
I'm using a custom rom (paranoid) and custom kernel (fancy).

I'm thinking it might be my area. My nexus 7 isn't getting an easy lock either. Not like I thought.

At my brothers house my galaxy nexus GPS seem to get a lock with 6 or 8 satellites rather quick.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Yeah, that's weird. GPS operates on low level radio signals, but fcc/faa restrict most other radios from encroaching on the gps frequency. So generally radio interference it's not a problem. I've had large structures (skyscrapers and mountains and to a lesser extent tall canopy yes) affect good reception. But never anything as small as a water tower unless, say, you are right underneath it. All things being equal, if you have a clear sky view you should get the same performance from the gps. Are you using it indoors? Also, do you have Wi-Fi on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Garridon:
I test it usually in my house with my nexus 7 and gnexus. If I go out I tend to try to test the gnexus. Doesn't get much better. Only slightly. I'm going on a ingress run today, so it should have a decent amount of testing.

I'll report back

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GPFboyJS:
Your water tower would only interfere with the GPS signal if it is directly overhead or blocking LoS to the satellite. However there are many of types of interference that could be preventing the GPS from picking up your location. High Power Lines, Microwave Transmissions, specific Radio Bands could all potentially interfere with the GPS signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Garridon:
Well outside it was better, still took much longer than my tablet to get a lock. The gnexus would see about 11 satellites but never actually connect to one after some time.

Hi,

Some of you Razr I owners might want to look at this.

Motorola Is Listening

http://www.beneaththewaves.net/Projects/Motorola_Is_Listening.html

Some commentary is available at:

Motorola cell phones are regularly phoning home

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5973282

I'm a bit concerned about this, although not sure whether the Razr I is affected.

Curious to see what other's people's opinions are?
[RAZR i General] cernekee:
I just saw that post about an hour ago; it's an interesting read.

There have been a couple of forum posts about Motorola customer service reps allegedly knowing that your phone is rooted when you call in for help/repairs/etc. This might be related.

Based on the strings in the article I'm guessing it is related to /system/app/cce.apk (com.motorola.blur.service.blur) - do you have this package or anything that sounds similar?

If so, are you able to block it with AFWall/DroidWall?

I'm attaching the manifest file from my copy (Droid Razr M running 4.1.1).
[RAZR i General] Locazoo:
We should be "safe" if we use a custom rom without MotoBlur like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2174731.
[RAZR i General] bengtan:
Craps.

I just connected to my Razr I (running 4.1.2 Retail.en.GB) with adb, and 'adb shell pm list packages' gives

package:com.motorola.blur.service.blur
package:com.motorola.blur.setup
package:com.motorola.blur.setupsettings
package:com.motorola.blur.updater
package:com.motorola.blur.weather

Running 'ls /system/app/cce*' in the shell also gave me this:

cce.apk
cce.odex

so a related version of the software may also be on the Razr I.

Of course, I deactivated the automatic updates because I do not like any changes without my confirmation.

I had run the debloater several time but no change. Chrome I was able to de-install manually but for Google maps, this way didn't work.

In addition, I have some trouble in accessing the local memory. External sd-card no problem and root access to local memory too but e.g. the local download folder, I can access in recovery mode but in normal mode not.
[RAZR i General] ICuaI:
If u use the ES-Fileexplorer u have to push it into system/app to get full access. And in settings u must allow rootaccess

I prefer Filemanager. There is no need to push it into system-folder and for me it is easier to use.

And ofcause u have to navigate to system/apps with the explorer and delete the apk and odex manually

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SetiroN:
While some apps aren't as well written as they should be, and Android isn't quite capable of perfectly fluid and hiccup-free performance just yet, use a kernel that doesn't do the ridiculous thing of disabling MPDecision, which is a part of project butter that many kernel developers pretentiously disable, thinking that they're more capable than google+qualcomm. Funny thing is, contrary to general belief, your phone will even heat up less.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDig:
That`s total BS! MPDecision= Little smoothness at high price! Hot-plugging is wayyyy better than MPDecision! Less heat!? MAybe if your phone is idling but not if you`re using it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJcastaldo:
I am also inclined to believe the opposite here man.. mpdecition has been around and used before project butter and Jelly Bean

. It literally sets your min freq to over 1 gigahertz just on a touch. Creates a lot of heat when turned on. Devs like faux who have building kernels for multiple devices for multiple years do know what their doing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SetiroN:
Yeah well, believe what you want to believe, it's not my job to change your mind.

I did my own testing rather than believing and came to my own conclusions; I could take 30 minutes to explain the actual behaviour of MPdecision compared to those hand written hotplug drivers, but I really have no interest in trying to convince anyone who's happy with their beliefs.

OP was asking for advice on how to make his device smoother (without even mentioning heat or power consumption) and I gave it to him. I'm happier with MPDecision, maybe he'll be as well; I don't really want to start a discussion with whom is already satisfied otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddyie:
That was quite elaborative... I am also with mp decision might be... Coz on stock i dont know how but feel much smoothness rather than custom.

This might be might be coz i am not that much techy to tweak further the custom kernel. I run with default values of any custom kernel... Learning: wip. lolx
