Yes but you're insinuating that somehow the S4 performs "better". I don't see where you can make that statement, when you're comparing a non-stock ROM to stock. Have you compared the HTC One on AOSP to the S4?

I doubt there would be a "higher performance" with the S4. Bottom line is there is zero advantage in performance when comparing the same set up on both.

I have tried that Soul's SL99 works great for video audio input. But I want to free my hand from holding the headset (I need to hold it for good signal to noise). So I have tried to use my Jabra supreme, however it does not record sounds to my video.

(I am using S4 LTE)

Do you have experience in using bluetooth or headset for this? I just want to shoot some vlog or vine with good documentary sound quality.:cowboy:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SeeZaar:
can someone tell me what is the swap, swap partition? please help! :confused: ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] twoxx:
Android is using SWAP-Partitions like "internal RAM". It is not exactly the same as internal RAM, but very close to it.

So you can increase your internal ram by using a swap-Partition.

Swap-Partition is a separate Partition on SD-Card. Mostly the last partition on sd-card.

For example:

16gb - SDCard---> 1. Partition FAT32: 14 GB, 2. Partition: SD-EXT: 1,5 GB, 3. Partition: SWAP: 500 MB

If you have a swap-Partition on your sd-card AND Android is told that it should use SWAP (e.g. by using an init-d-script or playstore-app "SWAPPER") - Android will use the amount of memory on SWAP-Partition as internal RAM.

But it is not exactly like: 1GB Internal RAM + 500 MB SWAP = 1,5 GB Internal RAM - > that's not true.

If you activate SWAPPING you have to decide which value of "SWAPPINESS" you want to use.

Example:

Swappiness 30 means:

70 percent of all write-actions will be on internal ram and 30 percent of all write-actions will be on SWAP-Partition.

If you set Swappiness 100 means:

ALL write-Actions will be on SWAP-Partition --> Internal ram is nearly not used any more ("nearly" becaus some things in android are using internal ram further on).

But you have to be careful: You need a very fast Sd-Card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SeeZaar:
thanks very, very much!! ;) Just one more question.... What is the chache and dalvik cache?? :confused: ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] twoxx:
Dalvik Cache is a List in which all apps and the path to find those apps on your phone are listed. With this list in Dalvik Cache, Android

is able to find and start Apps and other files faster than other Operating Systems would do.

You can erase Dalvik Cache, but on the next Restart of your phone - dalvik cache will be rebuilt automatically.

Cache is a partition into which all apps are writing different things when they are started and when they are running.

This data is only temporarily needed. There are some apps in playstore that are able to erase cache in order to speed up system a little bit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SeeZaar:
Thanks, you are good! ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dohcvtec:
so does the SWAP make your phone little bit faster?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] twoxx:
It depends on how you are using your phone.

If there are many apps running in background that must run in background and stay there all the time (e.g. taskkillers, battery-monitoring, antivirus-software, whatsapp and so on) - very much of internal ram will be reserved for those apps.

As a result : For all other apps that are not staying in internal ram all the time (e.g. games, office-apps, and all the other stuff that can be downloaded from playstore) - there is much less internal ram available for.

This may end in lower performance of your phone generally.

In my case - i use a 300 mb swap-Partition and my phone is faster than without it.

But it depends on the speed of your SD-Card and the kind of swap-activation, Swappiness , readahead-value and so on if you want to make your phone faster by using swap.

Some people say, that zram-swapping is better than swapping with a swap-partition.

I can not say that too, my phone is slower with activated zram instead of activated swap-partition.

zram means, that a part of internal ram is reserved for a swap-partition instead of a swap-partition on sd-card.

So during the usage of zram you have less internal memory free for your apps again, BUT android will swap some system- apps to zram.

Sometimes this makes your phone a little bit snappier, but in my case ist slows down everything.

But SWAPPING BY swap-partion is worth a try.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cheshirecat:
Something strange that I found out.

Go to Settings, then Phone. Under Keypad, there is a choice of Tones, Beep or Off.

It seems that selecting either Tones or Beep gives the same effect, ie whenever I start keying in phone numbers using the onscreen keypad within the Phone application (not the Phone Pad SIP), I hear DMTF tones.

What I want is for each keypress to generate a standard "beep" sound, but that doesn't seem to work.

I tried it on a colleague's Mini and am convinced that it is a bug. :?

Anyone knows of a workaround?

Hi guys, I'd like to share a ROM that I just found on YouTube. It Is called The Ace One ROM.

Features :

1) Aroma installer.

2) Fire/blackhawk kernel to choose.

3) Pretty fast & smooth.

4) Jellybean theme.

5) Holo launcher.

Other features I don't remember.

This is the YouTube link of the ROM. You can find the mediafire download link to the ROM there. The video is in Spanish. Kindly bear with it. :D

Screenshots :

Need someone to upload them.

Credits :

1) The original dev of the ROM.

2) XDA for allowing me to share it here.

3) Venomous Viper 119 ( Me :D ) for sharing it here.

No problem. Glad to be of service. Be warned though. The installation procedure from Aroma Installer to Google account setup is all in spanish. Better have Google translate open in the web browser until you can change the language from the settings menu. Have been using for the past 2-3 hours. ROM is quite responsive and has BLN support too. :good:

No. As far as I know it's the usual procedure. You enter your login details, install the requisite Google apps from the market and choose if you want to backup & restore your data to the Google servers. That's all.

My battery life is pretty terrible. Running stock, power saver, and Snapdragon battery guru. I have to charge the phone 2-3 times a day. I use in moderately to light through the day. At night, it will drain almost completely while I'm asleep. I had a Nexus 4 before and battery life was way better than this, same location, same apps, etc. I don't feel like I should need to turn data and wi-fi off to get more than 6 hours of virtually idle phone life from this device. Is this typical?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
Definitely not typical...

I'm fully stock and not rooted. If I dont touch my phone it can last over 24 hours with data on (noticed this one weekend when I was too busy to play with the phone).

I use the Battery Widget Reborn app and it says a "Fully charged battery usually lasts: 18 hours 8 minutes" for me.

Sounds like theres definitely some kind of app in the background thats draining your battery and making your phone hot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ry4n:
This is pretty typical battery life for me with data always switched on on a rooted stock 4.2.2 rom and was also pretty much identical on an unrooted stock 4.1.2 rom.

The main thing that saves me a ton of battery life is disabling apps that I don't use. By far and away the Facebook app is a massive culprit for killing battery life.

Well it's a definite improvement over the sort of battery life you were describing before. There are always ways of improving battery life but as has been said many times before it's all a case of where and how you use your phone that will be the main factor.

Is there any way to use FoxFi without setting up a screen lock? When I bring it up, it says a screen lock is required, and pattern lock is preferred. I don't like to use screen locks on the S4.

If I do set up a screen lock, pattern or input, can I later set it back to no screen lock. I set up one on my old Droid Bionic, and there was no way to get it back to no screen lock short of a complete reload.

Or is there another tether program that I can use. Either wireless or USB would be fine.

Hey guys!

So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.

Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.

I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.

IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
