This doesn't seem to be a popular tool but it's very useful. I had an update.zip that for some reason would not flash correctly. Extracted an older update in img format, updated it with files from the update.zip, repacked it and I was able to flash the update.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] theronkinator:
Hi, the tool seems great, but for some reason when I extract the rom the size is fine, but when I repack it goes from ~700mb to ~90mb. It looks like instead of merging the temp>system folder, it's just making that the only system folder in the rom, is that right, I thought it merged them to make a full new rom?

I am talking about two thing: OS smoothness and OS input lag.

For years Android just hasn't come close to the smooth, and lag free feel of iOS. This video shows exactly what I mean about android input lag. iOS is far ahead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvQCPLkPt4

iPhone 5 : 55 ms

S4: 114 ms

HTC One: 121 ms

The iPhone 5 is over twice as responsive as the fastest android!

That video just shows the input lag difference. iOS is very noticably lower input lag than Android. Thats why i hate playing games on Android. Its a pain in the ass. Some of you might say you dont notice the lag, but its there, and i notice it.

Same thing happens with HDTVs. Casual gamers say their hdtvs dont have lag. But they really do, its just casuals dont notice it. Hardcore gamers easily can notice.

Now onto OS smoothness. For years Android has had laggy scrolling or jerky movement. iOS is smooth as butter, so smoooooth. I love it. Android was awful scrolling webpages. Project butter MUCH improved Android. But still, iOS is far smoother. Will Android ever be smooth as butter like iOS or is it impossible without a closed, optimized OS?

i believe when android 5.0 comes it will be equal but you have to remember that android has alot more customizable features wgen ios doesnt, those features like widgets and animations cause lag, thats just my thoughts about that
[General Topics] DJ1994:
Honestly what I have found is that it depends on the quality of the app you are using and how quickly you move your fingers. If I am slowly scrolling through xda there is a ton of lag but it is a poorly written app and I'm moving slow. However scrolling on the home screen in Nova I notice no lag. I have used my note 2 next to the newest ipad as well as my note 10.1 and there are different situations that each has an advantage over all though I would give the edge to my note 2 over the two tablets.
[General Topics] nickhex89:
I've made sure it was same apps etc and moving as close to the same speed on each hand with each device as I could. Still the note 2 trumped the iPhone 5s in every scenario...camera, browsing, YouTube, Facebook, etc... IPhone lagged at least 3-5 second behind the note 2.
[General Topics] Perry2547:
To the OP, I don't think android will ever catch up because of the denial. See from the replies that some don't even believe there's a problem.

Any android first day out of the box will always be more problematic than an iPhone even after its a year old.
[General Topics] nickhex89:
I have never had an issue with a stock android out the box bought one apple product and had issues with it before iTunes could even update it. Will never go to apple. And there's no denial I've seen it first hand. Kinda hard to deny visual proof...duh.

I've used an iPhone before I got my nexus 4. Definitely a bit more responsive and less lag. But then iPhones don't require as many resources to run its OS, because its much simpler

True, I just wonder if Google can match iOS in the near future, and what their solutions could be? Fragmentation is a major problem.
[General Topics] Perry2547:
I tried out the Lumia 900 Windows phone for a week and even though I hated it and would rather have any android over it, the Windows os was much smoother in terms of lag.

Think about this, when iPhone users jailbreak, it's so they customize. It's not about performance.

Android users root so they can customize but also to a large degree make the thing run smoother. That in and of itself says something..

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

And another curious matter, I got my iPhone from at&t and there was not nearly as much bloatware as the note 2 (also at&t,) had before I rooted and rommed. Why?

I saw the video posted on your link. There was no mention of the performance for the phones you mentioned. I am interested to know where did you get the performance figures mentioned.
[General Topics] AarSyl:
To the OP:

This is a difficult location to get an unbiased answer. You're basically walking into Toyota and asking if Chevrolet vehicles are better. Of course you are going to find fanboys who defend their devices to the byte. That's a given.

But now, on to business. As someone mentioned earlier, Android uses way more resources than iOS. Ever noticed how smooth a rom moves after a fresh flash with nothing installed? There's a lot less "lag." I think that Android will continue he getting closer to the bar that has been set by Apple products. Am I saying that Apple is better? No. You're question has nothing to do with preference, and I shall not share mine. I am just sharing my unbiased opinion.

Also, I think that "lag" is the wrong word to use for your description in the first post. Delay is a much more appropriate and concise word in my opinion. I define lag as excessive delay. Stutters I consider to be lag, but 55ms vs 114ms is definitely delay, not lag. I'm just saying...lag tends to have a terrible meaning behind it, and much worse than the example that you provided.

Yet an iPhone 4S with IOS7 seemed to lag more than my "budget" Optimus L9. Now call me a "fandroid". Now how about we ask if IOS will ever catch up to Android in features/options/freedom, then compare to see if Android lags more.
[General Topics] Unknownkj:
It will be faster and responsive after installing a custom rom and kernel. That's why we are here. I'm not hating on iOS. I love it but I like the customizibility more on Android.
[General Topics] nickhex89:
Exactly, my friend Dave has an iPhone 5s with iOS7 and I am running a samsung note II w/ cm 10.2 nightly 10/19 with plasma kernel running at 2.1GHz. For one show me an iPhone that can perform that fast and even running that fast my "stock" battery lasts me almost a fully 24 hrs and I'm a heavy user of games, web browsing, and media streaming. I tested my note side by side and the only thing it performed better was it booted up a second or two quicker. My opinions and facts have nothing to do with which I like better cause if it did I could go on and on, on the iOS's lack of customizability.

So yes like you just asked, when will iOS catch up to android?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Edit: the iPhone performed better by a second or two with booting up.
[General Topics] ortind200:
thats an exvellent question, one thats been asked a ton of times but left unanswered for yrs. i've asked that same question myself many a time on various forums only to be met with fanboy hate.

android possesses this innate lag and jitteriness that should have been resolved a long time ago. i read somewhere that its poss to make it lag free and smooth like it should. but to so would mean to dismantle the framework altogethe. and build it up from scratch. i dont kno if this is accurate or not. but i'd love to see android lag free finally.

one way that android is making the OS smooth is thru hardware, not software. wat i mean is, phone co.s like samsung are making faster processors amd packing more ram into phones, thus, making it appear smooth when in fact the OS is still latently snail slow. on a one to one ratio, iOS is FARRRR smoother and probly faster than android even with slower hardware cuz of its faster iOS.

i personally like android (not love it yet cuz of this issue) and prefer it to iOS. but if it werent for iphone's small screen and other bothersome kinks, i'd get one.

android has done a very poor job of making its OS smoother and faster. if it takes revamping the entire OS and starting it from the ground up, i think it'd be worth it. i really get disappointed when i slide my finger across the screen and still see lags, esp given the fact that its 2013 and the 1st gen iphone that debuted in 2007 is smoother and faster than android on any phone today.
[General Topics] isajoo:
Doesn't screen resolution matter when measuring lag/delay?

Cause no iPhone has had even a full 720p resolution screen to date.

I could honestly care less about lag/delay, for me choosing android was all about the customization.

Eg.

I've got no static,always present, status bar or virtual on screen navigation buttons or even any icons on my home screen, just widgets, not even an apps drawer icon, thanks to nova and pie pro everything is done via swipes or touching the left/right ends of screen to bring up pie(which also displays time/date/battery info) and thanks to PGM i don't even need to use any buttons to turn on the screen, just swipe up like BB10 or double tap like the LG G2.

[General Topics] chan.sk:
To the OP:

The first post seem to imply that the "lag" mentioned in the first post due to the OS alone. Now we all know that the OS alone is not the single factor in the overall performance of a computer. There are so many other factors to consider - CPU, GPU, RAM (and the type of memory chip), hardware bus size & speed, I/O and interfaces speed, screen display response and so many others.

The iPhone 5 has a 64-bit A7 CPU (first 64-bit chip for cellphones) as compared with all other cellphones with 32-bit CPUs, so there is no basis for your comparison 1st Post.
[General Topics] Perry2547:
Was it the iPhone 5 that got the 64 bit? I was under the impression that it were the 5c/5s that were the first to get the 64.

Either way, Apple was the first.

I had the iPhone 4s. If it would have had a larger screen, I would still own it. Ironically I swapped for a note2 which has a.monster screen. Only problem is, IT'S NOT VISIBLE OUTDOOR EVEN ON A CLOUDY DAY.

iPhone 6, when it arrives...4.5 inch screen, retina display, super smooth performance. Sure it won't have all the customization that the latest android gadgets have. But I'm able to live without a phone that is not capable of doing the chicken dance with the swipe of three fingers.
[General Topics] ortind200:
if the iphone is such crap hardware, explain why the 1st gen iphone is smoother than today's android?

but it is due to the OS alone. if its due to hardware also like u said, then given todays hardware on android it should be superior to iphone. so wat are u talking abt? for ex, u got the note 3 with 3gb of ram and 2.3 ghz processor. its hardware beats the iphone big time. but the iphone is still faster and smoother that the note 3. so it MUST BE the OS.again, wat are u talking abt?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I am not hostile. I am just trying to understand why the internal SD card is all used up. When you set up the games, typically they have setting that will move the game data files to external SD.

On another note, despite the games, what else do you have on internal sd that's sizeable ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EL_REY666:
im looking for the same thing, i have a 64gb card but the rom i am using it wont work with it (using wicked rom on tmo s3).

the card is exfat format and the apps2sd doesnt work...

i have like thousands of mp3s, games/aps and gps stuff etc thats taking up everything...

i was told that if i was to format the exfat to fat it will work just fine and the rom will read it like a normal sd card and we can use the apps2sd app and itll read the 64gb card as normal storage and we can keep the phones memory basically free?

some say yes and others no just want a definitive answer to this because i love the wicked rom and with a 64gb card..

so far i have been using a mod here that is called 11extsd2internalsd, which makes the sd card primary storage and the phones memory secondary.. would be nice not to have to use that and use the card as normal

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Do a favor. Take the Sd Card to a PC and format under Windoz for Fat32. No Quick Format there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you using a custom kernel? Wicked is stock based so it should be able to read exFat. If you are using a custom kernel, that may be why it doesn't work, it may not have the correct modules. (Especially if the kernel is md5 based. Wicked is LJC I'm pretty sure).

Either way though, if you reformat the card to Fat32, it will be more compatible across non touchwiz roms, and would probably be so for you now as well. But I'd use a stock kernel personally. Never had any real issues with them, and you'd probably get to use the card as it was intended.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
The device does power on when USB charging is plugged in. But it is not a full startup, just the basic function of charging and data connect.

As for starting up from being off without any USB connect or disconnect would be a hardware issue. Possible from lack of flushing cache and formatting partition before a new modded firmware is installed. As the hardware function to power on / off may be setting a false detect to power on or off.

If it works proper with OEM firmware the issue is how you flashed or the flashed firmware used. Also another issue is restoring from backup. System data and settings may effect custom firmware when restoring.
