[General Questions and Answers] feyizu:
Hii, Dears;

I've Jiayu G4 Basic with ROM 20130620-163509..and also I have some boring problem.

The problem is self reboot (crashing) very often.Phone is on use just for several months and I did not change any of original ROM, settings etc.

Rebooting happens when the RAM usage approach to the 800MB or above so I suspect main reason of problem is insufficient of RAM.

On the idle mod usually 500 MB or above RAM is occupaying (Is it normal) and when I opened two-three more apps then phone crashes.

Dou you have any experiences about this problem?

BTW sorry for my poor English

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshik:
Hi All,

I am trying to develop an understanding on the android boot process, in general. From the point when power button (on phone/tablet) is pressed till the point when eMMC driver finished loading (during android kernel start-up). Activities like Zygot/Dalvik vm initialization happens much later I suppose, and, due to that, not of much interest to me.

I fancy that, at high level, it may be about booloader bringing a kernel (either normal or recovery) from the internal storage to RAM and transferring the control to it. But I was looking forward to know detailed interactions between the components used ( boot loader, pre boot-loader if any, kernel) and whether they assume any specific layout (eMMC partitions, and their contents) on internal storage.

I was also wondering how internal storage (eMMC) is read before the loading of eMMC driver (in Android kernel).

Appreciate any help.

Best regards.

SlimFast is based off of SlimRom's build, but uses the Linaro toolchain.

All props go to SlimRoms for their amazing work. Check out their website for changelogs and updates. I'll be building these for myself and uploading here. It's noticeably faster, all the Qualcomm drivers work, and all the toggelable Gapps work and look fantastic.

As of right now I am on ME7, full stock and I am trying to understand if I can update to MI1 and use Safestrap to use this either Eclipse TW 2.1 Beta 2 or AOSP 4.3 Eclipse 5.1 Build 6 ROM by using MI1 Kernel Modules for Safestrap. If I can't update to MI1 and use either of those, can I stay on ME7 and use one of them by using the kernel module mentioned on the Safestrap thread?

There's so many currently used versions of the S4, and I can't keep straight what can and can't be done, other than that MDK can do whatever it wants.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
If you choose to update to MI1 with root, you can install the TW based Eclipse rom in SS along with the MI1 module, but you can run any AOSP based roms since they dont use stock kernal. Just make sure not to update to MJ7 since SS does not work with it yet.

Thank you so much. I am now happily running MI1 Stock w/ root and Eclipse 2.1 TW!

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
In the Samsung Kies application under "Tools" there is "Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,"

With your device unplugged (it will say not available for this model if its plugged in, don't plug it in until it tells you to when in download mode) select this and run the what it tells you to do,

After this is finished you will have a completely fresh install of the latest officially released firmware (for your original build eg. carrier branded) with original serial number and imei number

This does not work for all but its worth a try, you have nothing to lose :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boymysterio29:
I'm planning to get a Nexus 5 and get rid of my Note 2 what is a good phone but I want the pure Android experience. The Nexus 5 looks great but I'm really sceptical as I don't want to regret swapping my Note 2.

1. How are the speakers compared to other phones?

2. Does it support HDMI via Mhl?

3. How much storage does the 32gb have? I mean how much has it been formatted to

4. Any support with OTG?

5. Are the colours as vivid as the S4 or the Note 3?

I'm not very tech savvy but I want to be sure that its worth selling my Note 2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matteventu:
1- Don't know

2- Not MHL but Slimport (like Nexus 4)

3- About 28GB

4- Yes, stock for input devices (mice, keyboards, gamepads...) and reading from USB memory devices (with Nexus Media Importer from Play Store), root needed for writing on USB memory devices (with Stickmount from Play Store)

5- No
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbrickwedde:
2. It has a SlimPort, not MHL

3. InternalStorage is 26,x GB

5. In direct comparision to Galaxy S2: SGS2 is better! More vivid, more contrast

Okay, I picked one of these meh HTC 8XT units up from Sprint. I've done some coverage for this at the general Diagnostic dial codes page, but I've handed them money, to try some stuff once I get it developer unlocked... have to return it before Wednesday at 6PM EST (18:00 -500Z) to waive the $35 restocking fee. After that I still have 14 days from Monday when this post originally was made, but I'll probably need donations to keep it a bit longer. I'm hoping some of this will apply to the HTC 8X and 8S, but there aren't any guarantees.

I first tested these dial codes without any updates, so this may change very soon.

It seems there are THREE apps that have been mapped to the dialer menu: CSDiag, DiagnosticTool_Sprint, and HFA

##DIAG# launches HTC Function Test (CSDiag 1.01.01g)

##PST# launches Service Tools (DiagnosticTool_Sprint)

##DATA# launches Service Tools as well...

##786# does too....

##522# launches then crashes....

##72786# launches Service tools.

##6343# launches DiagnosticTool (the same page that gets launched from the DiagnosticTool tile)

##33284# launches EmbeddedTool (Diag and FieldTrial)

##611 launches, but prompts a search for an app in the store, but no results. When no is pressed, it just shows a sample page.

##737425# launches the DiagnosticTool again...

##43424# the same happens as above...

##873283# launches the prl (what Sprint calls Network Profile) update procedure. (app is called HFA)

##MFG# launches EmbeddedTool (DiagnosticTool_Sprint)

Both apps are installed to the app list.

I'll just start with some pictures to start....

EDIT: All of the accessible diagnostic pages were saved in a zip, due to the vast number of screenshots.

We will probably need the XAPs. Can you install the standard-capabilities version of the webserver and go check the Windows folder and its subfolders for .XAP files? If you can't find any, we will probably need a ROM dump (do we have one already?)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
That's probably going to be the first thing I'll try. It'd be convenient if someone could reversion your webserver to generate a txt file that is similar to 'more' output or something similar to that; show all the files that are available from the directory that also shows the sub directories simultaneously, e.g. File tree.

These files are provided from a topic who said can unlock the htc 8x bootloader and get a Super CID and he take some screenshots that shows he can directly access to system files ! maybe he didn't find all xaps but if we can extract one rom we can access to all files and maybe can find a solution to cook unofficial roms at least like Samsung Ativ S (that it only Interop Unlock your phone)

I have a TMO branded 8x. (currently in for service). The only files I ever could get to load via dial codes is CSDDiag. I do have a dump of the xaps from an engineering 8x I found on the DFT forums. It is most definitely the old version of it. I tried every single AppID I could find in there, but nothing exciting launched...only CSDDiag and the standard pre-installed xaps worked.

I have been waiting patiently for someone to see if they can download a copy of CSDDiag onto their ativ S via the Microsoft store Proxy trick (Unlike the Samsung xap, the HTC one is listed as published, and you can click the "install" link if you go directly to it in the Windows store).

Please post the interesting xaps and pages. I will try them (if) when I get my phone back. The only ones I had access to were from a pre-GDR2 Dev version.

They also aren't listed in the store at all.
