Anyone used this on their Nexus 4? I'm on Sprint so I missed out on the pleasure of using a Nexus 4 but my sister in law has a N4 with one of these and I always liked it. Looks like they have one for the N5 coming soon. I worry about the durability though.

[Sony Xperia ZL] yogesh017:
I have been lloking for a way to move my app data from internal to external card as i enjoy playing hd games which commonly is 1.5 gb and in few games only the internal storage get fileed up.

So i have found a perfect way for moving large game datas to external card on my zl.

Note- Tried it on xperia zl stock rom (deodex) & Existenz rom. Don't Know about other roms

So please try it on your own as i am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

Method-

1. First Install a remount reboot fix using this link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317432

2. After successfully completing the fix. Install The following app from play store . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount

After Completing the above method in foldermount app choose the app analyzer option and move the apps in sd card.

Important - After moving the app data go to the application agagin and click on the pin in front of the app.

Please note it is not my work and found it on internet after a long time so just want to share.

Please click on thanks if helped in anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Wow that's a lot. Let's see if we can get you answers.

1. Switch recoveries to twrp 2.5.0.2. I can't stress the importance of the particular version enough. There are others. This is absolutely the most stable. It's what the devs use. I think then your cm issue will be resolved.

Correct way to wipe with twrp.

1.wipe - >factory reset.

2. Advanced wipe - >check system, data, davlik, cache then wipe.

3. The go back to main screen and install rom.

2. Answered by answer one. Lots of people have lots of opinions about the various recoveries. All I can tell you is this is what all the devs use for their recovery. Can't argue with that.

3. Reserved space. It might say you have 16 gigs but a good size chunk is taking merely by formatting. Then the ROM and programs you have installed of course.

4. Honestly they are all freaking great. The aosp roms. You do the answer to number one and you can find out. DU is my fav @ this moment. Followed by beanstalk.

5. Go to mobile networks make sure your network mode is set to cdma +lte/evdo.

6. Answer 1.

7. You don't really want to wipe the entire internal SD card. Sounds good when you think it might screw you if you did it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] opethfan89:
Thanks for your response Mightycaptain! I used CWM as my first ever recovery and am kinda pressed on it, which is why I use it, but I have no issues going to TWRP if that means fixing my issues. Can you elaborate on how to install TWRP in place of my current CWM? I'll do some Googling in the meantime to try to find the answer myself. (I haven't done any flashing or rooting stuff since I got the phone in May!!)

Thanks for your answer in #5. Fixed the issue I was having.

My reason for wanting to wipe the entire internal SD card is there are still files, folders, logs and backups from when I had my previous ROM. I'm having issues restoring my nandroid backup from the night of the 7th so is it at all possible for me to salvage some of my settings, apps and file backups from those existing files? Once I fix my nandroid, I'm going to keep the nandroid backup in a safe place and I ideally want to have a completely clean phone to start from: That means getting rid of all those old files and other nonsense from before. Is this a possibility?

I'm going to spend my time today trying to extract data from my nandroid backups using ROM Toolbox Pro. If that doesn't work, I have a nandroid backup from the 31st that has 99% of the stuff I need so I'll try to restore that. If THAT doesn't work, then I'm going to cry myself to sleep while trying to remember all of my contacts :(

Wish me luck, and hopefully I can get some answers to my last few questions!

Thanks,

Opethfan89
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Check my post here for twrp 2.5.0.2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47275165

You can flash it in your current recovery. It overwrites CWM. I would make sure you have a flashable for CWM just in case you need to go back for some reason. Also the backups between those 2 recoveries are not compatible. But I would nandroid with CWM before flashing twrp. I would also change were you recovery is pointing to for storage to the external SD if you haven't already. After you have cut your current backup and past it there. You can use rom toolbox pro to back up your contacts and restore it once you flash a new ROM.

Now as good advice going forward I would add your contacts to your Google account. That way when you flash new stuff or drop your phone in the toilet as soon as you add your Google account to the phone all those contacts will automatically download. But it is always a good idea to use tibu or rom toolbox pro to back up all your apps and seeing and use that after flashing roms to restore apps and settings.

But honestly I'd nandroid, move my contacts to Google, make app backups. Flash twrp. Then start flashing roms. You could be doing it in an hour. After you flash twrp make another nandroid so you have a twrp compatible backup. Then in a day or so of you are happy with everything delete the CWM backups for space.

Edit: as to extracting things from your current nandroid. Not sure if that is possible for one thing it is compressed not sure how that would work unless you are doing a full restore.

Also for future reference with TWRP. When restoring nandroid wipe like your flashing a new rom before restoring.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] opethfan89:
Hey thanks again for your quick response!! I'm glad I checked this first, because I'm in my ROM Toolbox app atm and it has an option to let me install TWRP 2.5.0.2 from within the app itself. Should I do it this way?

I will be adding all contacts to Google from now on. Unfortunately I saved all my stuff to my Verizon backup assistant so I just need one last shot at my phone to save all those contacts (manually, if I must) and be able to enter them onto the new ROM.

By "flash it in your current recovery" I assume you mean download the .zip, place it on my internal /sdcard, and then "flash" it just like I would flash a ROM, right?

I'm sure I have a "flashable" for CWM somewhere but like I said, I haven't done any of this stuff on this phone since I first bought it, and things have changed so much with everyone having OTA's and being locked out that I'm not sure what process is the same or what has changed. I can't afford to lose this phone so I'm hesitant to go balls to the wall to try things.

I will try the things you've listed here. Seems like a nandroid + TiBu + Google Contacts is my best bet to get up and running each time I decide to try a new ROM.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Understand the hesitancy completely. But with nodding comes risk. It is always about whether you can accept the worst possible outcome.

Rom toolbox pro flashing recovery? I don't know never tried it.

Yes I would download the recovery. Leave it on SD card reboot to recovery and flash like a rom.

Yes nandroid tibu and saving your contacts to Google is the quickest way to get up and running again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] opethfan89:
Mighty, just wanted to report that flashing TWRP 2.5.0.2 from within ROM Toolbox Pro worked like a charm. I'm on TWRP as we speak.

Thank you so much for your responses. If anyone else has anything to add, or a different response to my questions, please do so! In the meantime, I'm going to try to figure out how to get my nandroid backup working...

Cheers!

*EDIT* Made a backup with TWRP (whose interface is bloody phenomenal, btw), flashed CWM and its working like a charm!! Going to try the st0ckdr0id one as well. Still working on getting that nandroid working so I can recover my stuff and get to customizing!

I think there is a general consensus that it is generally brighter. Coming from the S4 I can say without a doubt the auto brightness is brighter on the Nexus 5. You can either do it manually or use an app like "Lux" to control it.

[Nexus 5 General] designgears:
I been trying to fix up the thermal-engine.conf file today so it isn't so aggressive, the results were good. Stock settings you can run Antutu bench one time and get pretty good results, probably around 27K, after that it will start to fall. Three runs in and it was hitting 18K, and that translated into some real world slow down, especially in video games.

I completely disabled all of the thermal-engine stuff by renaming thermal-engine.conf to thermal-engine.bak and rebooting. This allowed me to get consistent scores in Antutu. over about 26K each run. The phone did get noticeably warmer around the camera area on the front and back, nothing crazy tho, surprisingly cool compared to other phones.

The other possible limiting factor is maxcpu=2 on the boot image. Changing to to 4 or deleting it all together did nothing. However, from I have gathered setting maxcpu=2 will limit you to two cores.
[Nexus 5 General] kurnis:
I see this thread falling to page 2 which makes me sad since I feel it is a very important issue.

I find this extremely interesting and hope there is more work done to circumvent the issue.

Thanks for your testing, OP :)
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
So if the phone goes over a certain temperature it will only use 2 cores? I believe I read it tries to stay under 70 C.
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
Mine broke 30,000 fully stock but you run it a couple of times and watch them scores tumble.
[Nexus 5 General] t.saddington:
I ran AnTuTu in the freezer and got 29k, I ran AnTuTu normally and I got 23k. for sure it's throttling
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
You guys realize Nexus 4 was the same way though right? If you are testing in a freezer make sure it's sealed up tight.
[Nexus 5 General] nitrogen618:
This needs attention of devs. Throttle is a big problem.

I know Franco kernel increased temp throttle from 60 to 70. And can be further increased to 80 using trickstermod. But it still throttles.
[Nexus 5 General] doubleatheman:
This phone must be agresivly throttling

.. Because I know a 2.3ghz quad core arm CPU can make a lot of heat... And this nexus 5 runs cool most of the time.
[Nexus 5 General] jlmcr87:
I tested what you say. There is no limit of two cores. You can check this using stability test and system monitor. Most of apps don´t use all the cores because they are not needed, but when you turn on stability test, you can see the four working:D
[Nexus 5 General] a9y:
There's a post somewhere on this forum that explains why it's limited to 2 cores. If I remember correctly it enables all 4 cores after the boot process completes. Possibly another attempt at keeping the device cool.
[Nexus 5 General] Eat it iPhone:
I remember seeing the teardown of it and apparently the ram is on top of the cpu...my first thought was that cant be good for keeping it cool. Id imagine it makes things faster between ram and cpu, but id be weary about messing with it being throttled. If its throttling theres probably a good reason
[Nexus 5 General] TenaciousChaff:
Just south of 30k on Antutu with my phone in a zip lock bag, in a (clean) ice cream container in my eski with ice around it.

While yes the phone does heat up and does throttle, I've seen no impact on any of the games I play (MC4, CS). I'd rather have the phone running at 2 cores when needed and run cool than have a glowing hot ingot on 4 cores all the time.
[Nexus 5 General] rican408:
I've noticed after playing a couple levels of asphalt 8 I see huge frame rate drops. I am usually charging when playing to avoid having a near dead battery after, which I know causes more heat. Throttling must be the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] G1_enthusiast:
disable MPDecision and you will enable all four core, its in the /system/bin (?) i believe.
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
I think the max cpu = 2 is present in the note 3 as well. I keep having only 2 cpus active and it won't return to 4 until the phone is rebooted. Is there a way to disable this?
[Nexus 5 General] G1_enthusiast:
disable MPDECISION in system/bin rename it to mpdecision.bak
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
Thanks I'll try it and see how it goes.
[Nexus 5 General] G1_enthusiast:
I'm suprise nexus 5 owner doesnt know about MPdecision...p.s need root
[Nexus 5 General] Valynor:
Of course a thin and light device like the N5 runs into thermal throttling very fast. With all 4 cores blazing it takes only seconds before the thermal management kicks in.

With 4 cores running at full load, the N5 settles at just 1190 MHz after about a minute.
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
I don't have a Nexus. My phone is note 3. No worries I have root.
[Nexus 5 General] Striatum_bdr:
Faux kennel can disable mpdecision and offers an alternative to stock thermal throttle.
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipL:
Hi

It's about space rather than speed. By mounting the RAM over the CPU it cuts down on the space required, and as the RAM basically only interfaces with the CPU it makes sense to site it over the CPU.

Does it interfere with cooling the CPU? It might be an advantage to cooling in such a small device as the RAM will run cooler than the CPU, plus the RAM package will be made of thermally conductive materials, and the heat from the CPU will quickly transfer via soldered connections and copper traces to the RAM. Basically the RAM may be acting as heat sink for the CPU, then the RAM interfaces with the metal chassis.

Even if you took the RAM and put it somewhere else and had the CPU conducting heat straight to the metal chassis, it might only buy 30 seconds or so. The problem is the phone is so small, and the main issue is how do you get the heat out of the phone. The answer is you can't very easily.

When the phone is cool, the CPU basically dumps it's heat into the cooler parts of the phone and can run full speed if needed, but very quickly that thermal difference is used up, after that the heat can't really go anywhere very quickly, so the CPU ramps down and stays low until the phone cools down again and creates a store for that extra heat when it ramps up.

Without fans or large heat sinks, there is no way they can make these CPUs run their full advertised speed all the time. What we have is marketing at play, bigger numbers are better. Rather than do as Intel do which is advertise honestly the core speed at the 24/7 value, and then show the max turbo speed where thermal constraints allow, Qualcom/phone manufacturers are doing the opposite. It would be more honest advertising the Nexus 5 having something like a 1.2GHz CPU, with a max turbo speed of 2.3GHz, rather than just saying it's 2.3GHz. Then would they sell as many phones?

Regards

Phil

I was surprised the CPU was under the flash chip, but it turns out the S4 is the same way. I checked on ifixit. They probably do it like this due to space constraint... But it's bad for heat dissipation

Was wondering if you guys could help me round up the best prices on a replacement screen for my nexus 5. Im still waiting for my slim armor to come in the mail. phone slipped out of my hand while pulling it out of my pocket just now and it completely shattered. GG3 may be scratch resistant but it sure shatters easily. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandman2749:
Sorry about your mishap. That sucks.

As for replacement...

"The impressive damage resistance of Gorilla Glass 3 is nothing to scoff at, but in no way is the glass layer of the Nexus 5 invulnerable. The right drop will send spider cracks across the display, destroying your ability to comfortably use your device. Like the Nexus 4, LG has bonded the front frame, LCD, and glass into one piece. Replacing the glass on your phone would mean replacing the entire front panel, which will make repairs unlikely and replacements expensive. Given the low cost of the phone on Google Play ($349), it’ll likely be close to half the cost of the phone just for the replacement part, followed by installation fees if you can’t do it yourself."

They will either buy it back from your for same price you paid or ask them to send them a repair bill and the will credit you the cost of repair.
