I was afraid that's what you were going to say! Guess it's time to throw this phone in the trash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Just send it to me ill gladly take it off your hands :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Word! Send it to me, I'll keep screwing with it till it's either got a custom recovery on it or it's dead for good. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Well you can root it, delete stuff, and actually have a pretty decent phone. If you want to flash a custom Rom you are out of luck unless you sell it and buy something else. But this is a great phone with stock rom. Everything works and works well. Take a look at the aosp threads, problems galore. Aroma installer roms only problems. Ok I'll get flamed but I don't care. Stock on the s4 is unbeatable. So don't trash it. Live with probably the best phone on the market now.l
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
I agree stock is great when you debloat it. When I had my s3 it was probably 8 months before I decided to rom it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prharbin:
I am running CM 10.1 internal rooted on a Nook HD+. Is there any way to increase the RAM or expand its partition? I'm OK with the internal storage for apps, but I'd love to allocate more of it to RAM in hopes of speeding up the tablet a bit. Any suggestions or guidance is welcome. Thanks! PR
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Some major confusion is going on here.

EMMC is not really RAM so you cannot reallocate storage between the two.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prharbin:
Sorry - new to the terminology

When I go into 'Apps' under 'Settings' and look at what is running, it shows me how much available memory is being consumed. RAM, I guess, is not the right term for that. Anyway, I've got roughly 769MB available of memory for running applications. With what I have installed right at this moment, 616MB is used, and 163MB is free. What I'm looking for is a way to increase the total available beyond 769MB. Can I re-purpose any of the internal storage to be used by running programs? Does that help clarify what I'm asking? Sorry for the confusion.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MojUk:
I think you are trying to ask the question I have just asked on 10.1 for dummies, the device has 1024mb ram but cm only shows it as having 768mb? Further more as very green states, emmc and ram are two different things, ram isn' partitioned as you have suggested.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
Some portion of Nook's memory (RAM) is allocated to system use, as is some portion of Nook's internal storage (eMMC or flash memory). Both are distinct from each other, and apply for all computing devices. The difference is in how the numbers are reported--total amount or available amount. Available RAM can't be increased.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionking2k:
The current Nook HD+ has only 1GB RAM only. If you want to increase the RAM you can use a third party app to do just that. Currently I'm using ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de. I could increase my RAM to 2GB for right now using the space available on my external SDCard.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
That's bound to be super slow.

You can have better luck by using zram which is a standardfeature of CM, for example. Works by creating a compressed swap image in RAM, so should be faster than sdcard-based swap, but still slower than real RAM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionking2k:
How could you activate "zram" in CM?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Settings->Performance->Memory MAnagement->zram
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionking2k:
Thank You, I've got it.

So the maximum amount to set for zram is 26% is it correct?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rcoolb2002:
Max is 26%
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
The problem with ZRAM though is it consumes CPU cycles. It's a chunk of RAM that is compressed like a zip file on the fly. It may just make your Nook slower and probably impact battery life to some degree due to increased CPU load.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
It's not like emmc access is fast. And compared to swap on emmc, compressing to RAM is probably super-fast ;)
[Shield General] hackery21:
Hey YouTube, In this video I will show you guys COD4 streaming on my NVIDIA shield without an NVIDIA GPU or Windows operating system. I used Splashtop 2 and GameKeyboard, both of which are available on the Google Play store for free. I have changed my controller mapping since filming this video, and I will show those to you in a later video. Sorry for not having 1080p, My export got messed up so I could only get 720p. Thanks for watching! I have at this point created an almost perfect mapping for the controls, which allows really awesome controller support. Also,this trick needs no root, as you are mapping hardkeys to specific letters rather than mapping physical keys to touchscreen controls. Hope you enjoy it! www[DOT]youtube[DOT]com/watch?v=kiCleXTRNqY
[Shield General] GTX420:
Coo! is Splashtop 2 a subscription based app or Free? Client itself is free, right? i had purchased Splashtop HD for my N7, but Play store says it's not compatible with my Shield :(
[Shield General] hackery21:
Splashtop 2 is free. It is available on the Google Play store and is compatible with the shield. If you are not able to get it from the Google Play store, I am sure you can get it online somewhere(the .apk). If you need any help with it, you can send me a pm or just leave a reply to this post. I hope you are able to get it working! :)

These are loopbacks. What that means is that a file somewhere is mapped by /dev/loop0 to look like a disk.

Between earlier and now, something changed in what's loopback mounted.

The important partitions - those on your internal MMC memory, are unchanged.

The dm-0, -1, -2 are purchased applications, mounted on /mnt/asec if I remember right. Where they're mounted will tell you the app name.

I hella have this problem and I've been unable to get passed it. It's not just on Ragnarok though, it's on every game that has a facebook login. Clicking on the confirm button simply does not work. The only thing to do is hit x to cancel. I still have not figured out a method to fix it, but luckily most games with a facebook login feature also have a google+ login feature, which works fine.

[LG Optimus G Pro] i n f a m o u s:
There actually is one solution to getting past the Facebook login page but that would require a Bluetooth mouse which neither I or anybody I know have. :thumbdown:

I've tried contacting the developers for this game but every time I have to reply to their message I have to do so through their website which creates a new message that somebody else answers to. I can't make any progress because I can't get in touch with the same person.

Grab any flashable zip and copy it, now use 7 zip on the copy and delete everything except the Meta inf folder. You now have a blank flashable zip.

Create a system folder and open it, create a folder named lib, add any lib files you want in here.

The xmls will be trickier, depending on where you are putting them. Pm me for that one and I'll walk you through those.:beer:

Hello guys, sorry for making this kinda silly thread, because im really new on this phone.

What i wanna ask is..

1. Which baseband / firmware is better and compatible for flashing the custom rom on dev section,i dont really care about region as long it suits well, im on DXLXE from Indonesia

2. Which custom rom is better with very minimum bugs / zero bugs that came from Jellybean

3. My phone is just root with cwm now, my friend gave me the link for update including the CWM, is there any other thing for me to know before flashing into custom rom and kernel

Thank you before

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Broken:
So, since Fastboot does not work apparently, what is another way to flash CWM Touch? I am not going to pay $1.99 for the convenience to flash it every time I get a new phone. Does ADB commands work, like doing it from terminal? And where is the recovery located? Do not want a brick here and am fine now on stock CWM. And please, don't just say use TWRP. I know about TWRP and just prefer CWM

I tried making a tar.md5 from the img file but it failed to flash...

OK, I am guessing I have to loki this recovery to work. Apparently I have to adb pull my aboot and then use loki patch to create a loki'd cwm recovery.

SO:

copied from djrbliss:

=============

Sample usage

=============

First, a developer must pull the aboot image from a target device:

dan@pc:~$ adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

shell@android:/ # dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img

shell@android:/ # chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/aboot.img

shell@android:/ # exit

shell@android:/ $ exit

dan@pc:~$ adb pull /data/local/tmp/aboot.img

3293 KB/s (2097152 bytes in 0.621s)

Next, a .lok image can be prepared using loki_patch:

dan@pc:~$ loki_patch

Usage: ./loki_patch [boot|recovery] [aboot.img] [in.img] [out.lok]

dan@pc:~$ loki_patch recovery aboot.img cwm.img cwm.lok

[+] Detected target AT&T build JDQ39.I337UCUAMDB or JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL

[+] Output file written to cwm.lok

Finally, the .lok image can be flashed using loki_flash:

dan@pc:~$ adb push cwm.lok /data/local/tmp

dan@pc:~$ adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp

dan@pc:~$ adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

shell@android:/ # /data/local/tmp/loki_flash

Usage: /data/local/tmp/loki_flash [boot|recovery] [in.lok]

shell@android:/ # /data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/cwm.lok

[+] Loki validation passed, flashing image.

2253+1 records in

2253+1 records out

9230848 bytes transferred in 0.656 secs (14071414 bytes/sec)

[+] Loki flashing complete!

Is there anything I should change for Verizon variant. Don't mind getting my hands dirty, just want to make sure I am doing it right!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You can flash it with rom toolbox, how I installed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Broken:
Figures there would be an easy way. So Rom Toolbox will flash CWM touch recovery image?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The recovery needs to be loki flashed in place. Only the official recovery can be odin'd in. And if you flash the unloki'd recovery to the recovery partition, on reboot you will be greeted by a lovely note from verizon saying how you need to walk in and tell them why you messed up your phone.

Besides loki-patching the recovery .img the only way I know to get it installed properly is by using either ROM Manager Pro. Or using ROM Toolbox(both pro and lite I believe) Pro for sure, I never ran lite so I cant say. in RTP it is under rom management, flash recovery, pick.

TWRP is still better though. Just saying that a dalvik wipe and cache wipe should be convenient... Putting them in 2 separate screens is neither newb friendly or convenient. :p

woops late reply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Broken:
Well, just looked at rom toolbox and latest recovery it has is 6.0.3.2. I have 6.0.3.6 that I dl'ed. Looks like I will try loki flashing. Hope those commands djrbliss listed work on the verizon version lol..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You can download the latest touch version for free from the clockworkmod website. Not sure if its patched though so youll probably have to patch it yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Broken:
Yeah, it isn't loki'd so am going to try that after I set up sdk again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MattCropley:

We all know that when music is playing in the background, we get a lovely animated live tile with artist info and photo. This is not the case when there is no music playing and the live tile is pretty boring. The only animation being is a switch from a headphone icon and an Xbox logo icon.

However if you go to settings and then ease of access and turn on high contrast mode, the live tile has a lovely animation of scrolling text saying music and videos.

Why can't that be there when high contrast mode is off too? Shame!

So first off I have never posted something on a forum before, so if i'm posting this in the wrong place or something please feel free to move it to the right place or whatever. Are you supposed to even create a new thread for a question?

Anyways, I have a 2012 nexus 7. When I go into the the about tablet theres no update button/check for update button. i'm on 4.2.2 and i've heard android 4.3 fixes the lagginess of the device. My nexus 7 is unlocked, rooted, and running AOPK. I think AOPK might be the problem, but otherwise I have absolutely no idea why the update button isn't there.

Also, I know virtually nothing about android, so if anyone has solutions, basic step by step instructions and explain any advanced terminology.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
