[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atari800:
I have been on a quest to see "lag" on S4 which I cannot say I have seen (or it is in places I am not paying attention to)

However I have been checking out some apps that state they make you device run like new or something towards those lines. maybe I can help you

#1 Get XPOSED FRAMEWORK from apps store (free) - this is like a gateway to some cooler fucntionality

#2 Get GREENIFY from apps store (free) - read instructions - do not greenify clocks or messaging apps or they wont work

--use common sense basically, I greenify all games, browsers....stuff that I start interaction with.

#3 Get WANAM XPOSED from apps store (free) - here you can adjust colors and a lot of functionality.

---one thing of interest is ENABLE BOOST MODE (enables benchmark boosting for CPU to achieve MAX power)

#4 Get Android Tuner (free/paid) - I paid for mine. However this app lets you tune every aspect of the OS, if you're a power linux guy you'll pick up on what it is doing.

---however this provides a feature called TRIM which keeps the drive/storage at top performance. Google "ssd trim" for details if you dont know what it is

Now I can use these apps *blindly* and force my phone to run slow, but if I disable them (back to stock settings) I seem to run just fine

A word of caution:

Throwing every "enhancement" feature from different 3rd party application on top of each other can have a negative effect.

*Ever run 2 decent antiviruses at the same time? They play tug-of-war with infected files and you lose performance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
Thanks for those recommendations.. they look awesome will try one at a time except the XPOSED FRAMEWORK.. until a flashable image of MF3 is rolling, I'm trying to avoid messing with framework...

But well this is lag is kinda weird.. for example after using the browser or any other app for a bit of time then when press home button it lags to show the default screen and when it does the whole "desktop" is been redrawed of course this not always happen, sometimes it's very fast.

Also sometimes scrolling between the windows is very fast but sometimes very slow. And this lag is present when using several launchers, apex pro, nova or touchwiz, and i don't have much widgets running.. exactly the same as my galaxy s2 which can handle all this light usage without a problem..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atari800:
Gee I dont experience any of those problems.

Scratch that - I do get desktop redrawn if I play a heavy game for a while. I do remember seeing it put back the weather and the icons. Nothing I would consider a showstopper nor can I make it happen on demand

I am using the default Samsung Touch Wizard and no other launcher

Good luck in your quest of the Lag Beast
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Please friends, help!

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.

I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.

It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.

Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.

I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.

I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.

I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.

I also tryied the same procedure using Odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.83 version. All the same result.

It seems like I miss something. I also tried several procedures I found in other threads none worked for me.

I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.

Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.

Thanks and best regards.

Wanted you to know I saw your post but got a full plate today... If you can get to download mode we should be able to get you fixed up... just give me some time...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Ok, So I've been reading your post and it seems like you've been diligent in looking for fixes. I don't understand this:

"Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40."

Does that mean that installed Ubuntu "natively" or in Virtual box? or have tried both?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dancog:
Same problem

Hi. I'm in the same situation. Flashed the Player 4 rom and I've got a black box now. I've just been chilling for a few weeks, tired of flashing it and failing, so I'm glad to see somebody else is working on this too.

I hope one of us has some luck soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Hi, Meticulus.

I've installed Ubuntu so I can run the Unbrickable Ressurector under Ubuntu, then I run a Widows XP version with a VBOX under Ubuntu too to run Odin.

The farest I could go is to make it get into forced Download mode using Resurrector, but It wont turn on after passing in Odin.

Really need your help.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html

If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...

Give that a try let me know how it goes...

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

the reason for your spg not booting is cause your flashing the incorrect stuff onto it. idealy you want to flash a stock rom that works then CWM onto it so it doesn't happen in the future as your then flash the rest from there. ill get your my tablets stocks...

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/200665131/09e0d79/G70XXKPL_G70XXKPL_XSA.zip.html

download that... then you should be able to fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
This is obviously a java error. Personally I've never run the unbrickable resurector on anything but Ubuntu. I would suggest that you create a bootable thumbdrive with Ubuntu...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dancog:
UnBrickable Java errors

Yes, Java looks like the culprit. So I've tried Ubuntu from a live dvd and got Java errors there too.

Then I tried permutations of (jdk07u40, jdk-6u25, and jdk-6u16) with Unbrickable (R36, R37, R38 and R40) on my Slackware 14 machine. They all gave the same error message. Googling that error message gives many millions of results, all highly specialized Java discussions which I don't understand.

The only positive at this point is that UnbrickableResurrector does see the device and starts the process. Then Java dies.

So I'm looking for another angle. I will try Ubuntu again; I've freed up a small partition and I'll install it there. I'm wondering if I need an older version of Java, to match the era when these devices were current. Maybe Resurrector isn't compatible with newer Java jdk??

Any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Hmm... Lets start with why your using the resurrector in the first place...

What condition is your player in right now?

NOTE: I haven't used the resurrector in at least a year so...

EDIT: Almost forgot: At what point do you receive this error? When the app is starting up? After some action?

EDIT2: Here is the source code line for your error. http://code.google.com/p/hummingbir...com/AdamOutler/LowLevelUnBrick/Shell.java#191

I must use the tar file, right?

With wich version of Odin?

Wich one of the 2 tar files inside the zipfile on the link?

My SGP is International with physical home button

Thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I can't remember, I think its the one that says "all low" or something like that...

EDIT: I used v1.81 of Odin..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Right, thanks partner.

That's the one I unziped to reach the tar file.

Now Odin is not recognizing the device after running Unbrickable Resurrector and getting SGP into donwloading mode.

I tried to reinstall Samsung drivers using Zadig and it still doesnt recognizes SGP

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Zadig? What is that? Just use the device manager check for missing and non working drivers, you know, typical windows driver troubleshooting....;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Ok, will try to have it working.

Zadig is a driver application wich comes along Heimdall

Every time we talk consider to recieve a thank you, even when I forget to write. It's how I feel. I really appreciate to have a partner to dialogue and help to acomplish this mission to bring back SGP to life.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Don't use Heimdall, After you get the player into download mode. Take it to Windows and use Odin! If you are using Heimdall for Windows then uninstall it. Then reinstall windows drivers from Samsung or install Kies... Then use Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Well, I did exactly what you said and did it using the same Odin version 1.81 and I got surprised when I saw Samsung Logo aparing but it got stocked on this screen for several minutes so I decided to unplug the USB cable and try to turn if off and on again. It still got stucked into the screen with Samsung logo and after about 5 minutes it turned off and will not turns on.

What to do know?

I think it might be to got out of battery but dont know what do next.

Remebering that my SGP is International version with Physical Home button.

Wait for guidance to next steps

Thanks a
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
I charged the battery for a while and was able to get it into download mode. I'm very happy with that but would like to know the exact steps I have to follow to bring it back to life now cause I really dont want to loose it again.

I'm doing, friend. Thanks.

Yesterday I tried to flash the rom again, so now I got this (see photo).

Every time I try to flash a rom again I got the same result

Really need your help to fix it and bring it back to life.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
__

I'm reading the thread you suggested but I need a guide about how to do the steps mentioned in the page 4.

After getting SGP into download mode I just used Odin 1.81 under Windows 7. I had another pc using Ubuntu in dual boot but I'm new to linux.

Is that possible to have any solution I can run into Odin to fix it?

Note that my SGP is Internation with mechanical home button. I saw some threads suggestions wich would not work to me due that.

Maybe I flashed the wrong rom and got this mess

I would need a newbie guide or sort of solution to fix it. I really got happy when I could get into download mode (also used thanks button on your profile) but I was expecting to bring it back for life. I'm almost a year tring to do that... it's so frustrating. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
I flashed again Gingerbread Stock Rom. Odin results: PASS and it got into Samsung logo stucked there.

What now?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
I read everything you suggested and effort myself to have it fixed. I also have flashed the US kernel you indicated but wont show the option to insert the commands and use Fdisk.

After flashing DD kernel I got stucked on the screen like the attached file.

Really appreciate your help.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yukicore:
So I got this game, and it leaves the speaker on, whether I lock the device, or exit the Asphalt 8 game, the speaker keeps hissing, giving me wake-lock usage, preventing phone from going into sleep mode. Anyone else have this? I also had this with Need For Speed Most Wanted for Nexus 4.

A quick fix for this is to turn off the application process, but when for example playing the game in the class, and then you have to turn the phone off, but you don't want to lose race progress you have to let the speaker hiss through all the lesson, or even worse, if you forget you end up having wasted battery after school. Please someone help me.

As you might guess from my screen name, the apps I use most involve music:

(1) For current favorite songs, I'm using Plug In Music Widget because it looks good to me on homescreen and especially because it works quick and smoothly with the stock Samsung 'Music' app. Plus, it's mainly for use with earphones walking the dog or in the car, where a full screen player would be wasted in my pocket or while driving and keeping eyes on the road. And...

(2) For my regular rotation of over 4,000 MP3s (on its way to maybe 5k) which play mostly over the living room stereo, I use two players in split screen mode. S4 Mini does not support split screen out of the box, so I use the XMultiWindow plugin for Xposed framework on my root'd stock 4.2.2 ROM. That way, I can have the nice folder view provided by Player Pro, along with the perfectly gapless playback (and many wonderful customizations) provided by GoneMAD Music Player. Best of all, both of them show nicely at the same time on one screen:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zakdroid:
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Then i intalled the supersu zip file and a custom rom. after that i found supersu and super user on my phone. Is it safe to uninstall one of them?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Yes it's safe to uninstall one of them but if you're not bothered which one you keep then I suggest uninstalling SuperSU.

I say that because I flashed back to a stock ROM a while ago and also flashed the provided rooting tools so that I could keep root access. Once I rebooted to stock, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store and decided to uninstall Superuser as I didn't need both of them on there.

Later that day I found out that I only had partial root access. I could use root apps like ROM Toolbox but I couldn't make any changes to /system.

In the end I reflashed the rooting tools so I could get Superuser back and everything worked perfectly again.

I'm not sure whether it was just a temporary problem with SuperSU or not but as long as you don't mind which you keep, that would be my advice :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
This happened because you flashed a stock ROM, with a stock kernel, which has write protection enabled.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I was on stock ROM but had faux kernel installed. I forgot to mention that in my post.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I've got no answer for that one. Haha
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Haha nor me. See I knew about the write protection on stock kernel right away which is why I figured I'd be fine with faux but it still didn't want to work.

Luckily it all sorted itself out in the end so I'm back using SuperSU again :)
