Hey guys, looking for a specific benchmark module in Vellamo to best use to help compare gains while tweaking governor's quickly.

Instead of running a full benchmark, what part of it would be best to use to compare settings?

There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM/KERNEL because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.

Thread closed.

Have a great day!
[Xperia Z1 General] Schadowx277:
I've come across a lot of people complaining about the camera not giving out noise-free images like it's supposed to. The trick is to use manual mode. I agree, if you use Superior Auto mode, it's a miss most of the times, and when it does work, it gives a purple-ish tint at the corners.

However, If you use manual mode and select the

SCENE

to NIGHT, the images come out amazing and noise-free!

[DO NOT JUDGE THE IMAGE BY WHAT THE VIEWFINDER SHOWS YOU. A lot of things happen when you press the shutter button. The viewfinder simply goes red for making it easy to focus. The final image in the gallery is a hundred times better]

The Scene modes are one of the most commonly ignored settings.

I hope this helps!
[Xperia Z1 General] anheuer:
Thanks for this but i just tried it and even though it pretty light where i am taking the picture, the picture turns us a little blurry.

Possibly because night mode uses a longer shutter time which makes it more sensitive to motion blur?
[Xperia Z1 General] DjTony90:
USe night SCENE even if we are with light ? i mean DAY light
[Xperia Z1 General] ozgadgetguy:
How do you select a SCENE mode? I don't have any such option.

Never mind, I had it at 20MP.
[Xperia Z1 General] Shrugz:
Havent got around to really check out every setting in manual mode, bu I will for certain try this on oute tomorrow.
[Xperia Z1 General] hoezay:
don't know why but right now scene mode shows up only on 8 megapixel and lower shots , so change your camera settings to access it.
[Xperia Z1 General] pesho00:
I Use Manual mode, 20 Mp, ISO 50!!! Very important for controlling noise - still at pixel level picture is a mess ;) but that is true for Every camera with such pixel density! And overall picture quality as seen on my sample is OK!
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Isn't ISO50 only workable with very good lighting? I mean, indoors it's very tricky already...
[Xperia Z1 General] pesho00:
Photography is painting with Light, when light is not available there no much "painting" ;) - Agree indoors when it's dark You should up ISO otherwise camera will go to very long exposures and You'll get blurry pictures.

What i was giving was setting for lower possible noise in pictures, settings will vary according to current lighting condition;)
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Sure, but it's logical that a lower ISO will generate less noise, unfortunately then shutter times increase quickly resulting in moved shots. But it does seem an issue with auto mode that it increases the ISO values very quickly...

Ah well, hoping future firmware updates will improve things (if only had sony included OIS in this thing).
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
when i select Iso50 the whole of the viewfinder becomes VERY laggy. doesnt anyone else find this? (happens with both mine and my old z1 which was replaced)

very disappointed with the camera on this phone given that the camera is supposed to be the main selling point of the phone. :(:(
[Xperia Z1 General] pesho00:
I have No such problem.
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Same lagginess here, but only when the lighting is low/lower... Not as much as an issue for me.

Camera doesn't live up to it's expectations unfortunately, especially in lower light. (No, I don't expect awesome pics in lower light but coming from a Lumia920, which performed a whole lot better, yay for OIS, in that area it is kinda disappointing)
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
not tested it in "good light" to be honest since the whole point in changing the ISO is to compensate for the low light conditions you are trying to take the photo in.

its a little confusing since "Auto" iso setting is the only one which is not laggy. you can select iso50 or the top iso level (Can't remember what number it is) and its all just as laggy. you would have thought that Auto would imply that you would be using an automatically determined iso level, which would be more intensive on the phone than selecting an iso level manually (especially iso 50 which should be really less processing than"auto" would be.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

well, i have one of those and i can tell you that low light pictures on that are just as bad. a) it doesnt use the nice sony camera app. it uses the frankly rubbish Sony memories camera app which has next to nothing in terms of manual setting and b) you can't use a flash.

so no. it isnt the answer. at all.
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
maybe, but it was a freebie with my phone. i've used it a handful of times and its frankly crap.

might stick it on ebay later actually. i doubt the qx100 would be much better tbh as it'd still be using the same app. it'll still take about 30 seconds to connect the device to the phone and it'll still have the same crap wifi distance (about an arms length) before the phones viewfinder lags out badly.
[Xperia Z1 General] sidneylopsides:
The QX10 is pretty good in low light, the QX100 will be better with the large sensor and 1.8 aperture at the wide end.

Nothing can help the lack of flash for certain situations, but a lot of it comes from learning the camera.

Wifi isn't amazing, but it works further than that for me, and through walls. I'm trying to think of new ways to use that style of camera and have been experimenting.

[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
Probably need to change MID but why do you want to run a US-based ROM? I'd just wait for the EU build personally

Having said that, you just flash it in fastboot after 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'

[One (M7) General] hapticc:
if you dont have developer edition one there is no point of having this zip. i would advice to install INSERTCOIN or ARHD which are now based on this update. you can keep everything stock on insertcoin so it will save you alot of hassel plus you can add addition tweaks you like

and when update hits your region you can get ota by running your region ruu ;)

So recently my phone has been playing a new unlock sound that i cant find in the system/media/audio dir. it plays even if the unlock sound is deselected or selected. Changing the files in the above dir does nothing. Muting the phone will mute the unlock sound. cant think of any app i installed that would of driven the change either.

Hello Everyone,

I was recently got the Idea of buying a 4G LTE router from Verizon to share my data because I have unlimited on our federal government plan. We want to test out this out right now until we can later buy cradlepoint devices. I was wondering if I could tether my phone to my new wireless router the ASUS RT-N66R which does support 3G/4G. The router is on the latest firmware currently. I spent hours trying to get it to connect until 2 things worked for me. If I put the router into Repeater mode I can get a signal off my phone using wifi tether. That's a Motorola Droid 4 Rooted on 4.1.2 which I would like to use to tether full time to the router. For some reason I can't tether USB to the router but wifi to router works:confused: Now when I used my company phone we pay for hotspot and tethering well I turned tethering on it did not work. The Tethering from phone to the router worked when I put in *99***9# I don't understand why but it worked and it was fast. I also was using a galaxy S4. So I was wondering if anyone had a solution to me using my personal phone to share data but I need to get the USB tethering to work I don't know if anyone knows a bypass to use the official usb tether. All help is appreciated.
[Networking] hyelton:
not sure If I fully understand, but with the 4G LTE router, You can use it with a regular line that has unlimated data...
[Networking] ATHORNFAM2:
I wanted to buy it at Verizon but they said it has to be on a new share data plan or I have to turn my unlimited data into a 12gb plan which isn't happening. They said I can't switch devices either.
[Networking] hyelton:
That is true. Using it your current method is the way to go.
[Networking] ATHORNFAM2:
Yeah. Well I bought a Asus 66u router so it supports 4g but do you know how to USB tether it without using the official USB tether
[Networking] hyelton:
Sadly I dont think there is a way. I`m not sure if there is even a way to do it even if you could offically use usb tether. Why not just use it as an access point? thats pretty much what your doing anyway.
[Networking] ATHORNFAM2:
I already tested it out did you read my original post? Through my company phone I can use the official USB Tether option to stream 4G through the USB port at full speeds. With my other phone that has unlimited data I use WiFi tether then setup the Router as a repeater or access point to receive the 4G that way. I mean as long as i get 4G I am fine i just wanted the full speeds and all options of the router. if i put the router in access point mode the option are very limited in features.
[Networking] smartymcfly:
I was testing on a nexus4 WiFi/Bluetooth/USB tether and the max speed the Bluetooth could connect was like 10kb/s, USB tether was 10.0MB/s and WiFi tether was like 68 or 70MB/s and for some reason the WiFi tether connection varied in the max throughput for some reason... I am not talking about the 4g max speed, but rather the max connection the phone can send out of BT, USB, & WIFI. you might be handcuffing/bottlenecking your connection through USB.

Hi all,

I have purchased a micro SD to HDMI connector (galaxy note to TV) and also a USB to micro USB connector (USB drives into Galaxy note),

I was wondering if it is possible to run a USB powered hub so that i can plug multiple devices into the note? (eg a USB drive, a wireless remote sensor etc)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] mictek:
Yes you can. I use a hub to run a keyboard and a USB stick drive. If you want to run a HDD I would recommend using an external powered hub. Some HDD require more power than the note can put out.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] risidoro:
Hi,

i've googled around but haven't been able to solve this problem: every time i connect my magician to the usb port in my PC, it starts synching and charging at the same time. I know this is correct behaviour since USB ports are able to supply power to connected devices.

Anyway, i'd like to know if there's the possibility to avoid charging from the USB port (while retaining, of course, synching capability).

I need this hack 'cos i often connect my magician to the pc only for the time needed to sync my contacts/appointments (just a few seconds/minutes) or to install some small programs and i fear that recharging the battery for so a short time and 5-10 times a day may reduce its capacity or even destroy it.

I'd like to sync my magician without recharging its battery, do you thing it is possible? Is there a registry hack (either in ppc or in winxp) to disable USB power supplying? Do i need to manually hack my USB cable by cutting out the red and white power wires?

Thanks for your help,

bye bye,

Isidoro
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] TheBrit:
You really have nothing to worry about. Lithium rechargeable batteries do not mind having small frequent top ups.

Ni-Cads on the other hand, yes they would be ruined.

Your phone uses a Lithium battery so as I said, no need to worry. :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iDG:
If you really wanted to, you could build a custom USB cable which does not carry the power, by omitting the GND and +5V pins (the first and the last pin of the usb connector).

This is not really needed, because modern batteries don't get damaged by multiple recharges...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] risidoro:
I tried it but it didn't work: the phone doesn't charge, ok, but it doesn't' sync too!!! Winxp doesn't see it.

Maybe i should keep ground wire?!? Mah!

I know, i know, but i would definitely feel more safe if i could sync without charge. :(

Anyway, thank u all,

Isidoro
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] alokbhargava:
Use bluettoth to sync the device with pc, your problem will be solved.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pyrofer:
All 4 wires are required for usb to work.

Removing any of them will prevent USB operating.

As stated, it doesnt matter about the top up charging, dont worry.

You might want to try a pair of tweezers (assuming you can find a nice pair that are thin enough). But regardless of what you do, you will need to be careful not to damage any of the pins/connectors when messing around in there. If you could get a clear close up image of the SIM card's location, that may help some people see if there are any other options...
