http://www.extremetech.com/computing/170677-android-art-google-finally-moves-to-replace-dalvik-to-boost-performance-and-battery-life

Read up! Basically ART (Android Run Time), from what I have read, is just set out to replace dalvik and bring performance/battery life improvements to the entire system. Its still new, so dont expect stability or anything of the sort for awhile, I think it will be GREAT in the coming months, though! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fraul:
What do you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CPA Poke:
Well maybe not then, if you don't know what I'm referring to.

Did you by chance go into Developer Settings and change the runtime from dalvik to ART?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 1weener:
I couldn't disagree more. My experience has been the exact opposite. I can pull 6 hours screen time on a charge with cm and kt's kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fraul:
I'm on 4.3 right now! I just wanted to cover my bases and make sure I could restore my apps as I usually do. No I haven't changed anything like that.. should I have?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawn7656:
You've got to have a rogue app or something. I've never seen my phone get that horrible of battery life. I can play games that long without charging my phone.

I'm on Noobdev's KK rom right now (will be flashing this shortly) and right now I'm at 11h9m with 62% battery and an hour of screen on time. I'm all-guns-blazing too. Auto screen brightness, everything is turned on except Bluetooh, everything has vibrate turned on that can have it.

Is your governor on Performance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stealth658:
That's what I'm thinking, but there's nothing here that I didn't had before. Could be an app using more battery life than it was on jellybean. I guess I'll see once BBS gets updated for kitkat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawn7656:
A random idea, but try popping off your battery cover and making sure your battery doesn't feel or look bloated at all. It could've just crapped out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
doesn't work like that. I have had an app go rogue after a new rom flash even when it was fine on the last. I'd start digging..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawn7656:
I'm finding an issue on every ROM that's been using Kitkat so far - when you start up the ROM for the first time, if you have an unread text it will give you a notification from the default Messages app. It WILL NOT go away. If you clear it, it comes back. Reading it, deleting the conversation, doesn't matter - it comes back. The only way to get rid of it is to clear data for Messages. And then, the notification comes back when you restart your phone (I've even tried turning notifications for Messages off, still comes back). I'll probably just freeze it in TiBu. That should stop the issue... haha

Hey any body

I have a problem with init.d

I have made a mod and it work with few aosp ROMs And I want to make it for cm and stock

When ever I install any init.d tweak it boot loop once I reboot from the system

Plz help I want every body to use the mod without problems to enjoy best of gaming on our low end devices
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
So your problem is not with init.d but with your tweak which you probably want us to guess what it is?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
Hey bro when I put any thing on the init.d it boot loops my concern here how to make it RUn not bootloop
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
What kernel are you using what do you put in init.d?

init.d usually start in kernel if it has init.d support or from/etc/install-recovery.sh for stock.

shouldn't be any problems unless it's something with scripts you put in init.d.

Upload your rom or post init.d files
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia modder:
Thanks but ithink that there is a script wich is icompatible with cm roms

Cuz stock and aosp works

I have a thread with the init.d so you can see them ther cuz i dont like to wait for an hour uploading 1.8mb file again

[Galaxy Ace II General] Ryccardo:
You may have tried to move some APKs to /system/app/ and end up with continuous crashes, usually resulting in abandoning your plan to save some otherwise wasted space (or preventing to accidentally uninstall all keyboards...)

This is often said to be a permissions issue, yet that's not enough for some packages: those with external libraries.

Copy the APK to /system/app/, then `chmod 644` it as usual.

You can also install to /preload and symlink to system

On your computer (easier but not required), open the APK (as a renamed ZIP).

Go to ./lib/{architecture}/, where on the Ace2 this is lib/armeabi-v7a.

Extract all the (.so) files here and put them in /system/lib.

There's no step 5!
[Galaxy Ace II General] pedroleon99:
Thank you very much :good:
[Galaxy Ace II General] Ryccardo:
All of the above is still true if you want to package apps in CWM format, but people who just are tight on /data (and don't want to repartition) can just use the convert to system app in Link2SD, which now actually works on apps with libraries :)

Greetings

To get to to the point tapatalk was not letting me reply or start new threads on any of the forums I was a member to. So naturally I went to tapatalk to get support, however the only interface offered is a support forum through the tapatalk app itself. Well if I can write anything, How am I supposed to get my questions answered (from what I'm reading nobody monitors that forum anyhow) . So I played with the app to make sure I was logged in when I happened on a message that that said my account needed to be "validated", so I clicked on the link in the email and validated my account, but I'm still unable to respond to anything. So I decided to just uninstall and reinstall (with a reboot in between) to see if that fixes anything. Now it won't let me login, telling me that my password and/or username was invalid. Well I clicked on forgot password and Enter my email address and it told me that there was no account available. So I said f*ck it I'll just create a new account, but when I attempted to do that it said my email address already has an account associated with it and to log in using that account.

OK I'm going around in circles here and I realize that this might not be the best place to ask but... Does anyone know a way I can contact the taptalk folks WITHOUT using the tapatalk app? I combed through their Web page looking for an email addy and no joy. Please help if you have any other ideas.

"The selected Composition template is missing or invalid. Please select a new Composition Template. 36001:107:100"

Any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, coz there are probably missing files in your templates folder. There are 4 default templates in the Magician. Dunno if there are any more out there. I believe you can design your own since its a gif format. I've zipped them into this file...

Instructions to use:

Unzip the files into your My Device/My Documents/Templates/ and your camera template mode should work fine !! :)

Please help me with my sound level alert problem.

Condition: volume won't go above 60% or so with headset and loudspeakers (jack).

I'm on 532 FW with C6802, rooted and relocked BL. Tried to update to 257 but failed.

I'm beginning to think there is a problem with my soundlevelalert.apk or my lib/libsoundprotection.so. All the more so because both are missing from my system folder.

A couple of week ago I tried to flash CWM and CM10.2 but managed to come back from soft brick to stock after 9 hours. Maybe I frecked up something with incompatible kernel and temporary CWM (both were in the process).

So main problem is volume cap, secondary problem is OTA failure to 257 with relocked BL.

Ok... so apparently i did something wrong. I posted earlier that i had issues after i rooted my mobile coz i was getting blocked by knox and i was unable to update in future. So i tried Unrooting it.

I got to know from samsung kies 3 that my cell was from Germany (DBT). And when i bought it i believe i had 4.2.2 in it. so i downloaded a stock firmware. i downloaded Triangle Away and i downloaded Odin3.

I enabled USB debugging. Launched Triangle away, asked me to confirm if it was GT-I9505 (Hit yes). Tapped Reset flash whatever as per video. it said danger, i proceeded, then it asked me to make sure i was using a stock Kernel (no idea if i was or not) but i hit yes... it rebooted into odin mode (download mode). connected it to PC and odin.. i saw the blue bar there and the message saying Added... clicked PDA, added the firmware and hit start... AND IT FAILED... the error is below:

Now when i start it.. i only get the warning saying " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES AND TRY AGAIN"

the counter for knoxx warranty void is 0x1 by the way... doesnt matter as long as i can get my cell to operate again... SO where did i go wrong? and how can i save it? i tried connecting to Samsung Kies but i dont get any selection for recovery either.

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohrab_khan:
FIXED!

Okay! I somehow managed to reinstall the firmware. I got my cell working again.. it was what i believe you term as Soft Brick.

Anyways... Now it is still rooted. I tried opening the Superuser.. it says that apparently some binaries are not installed. i tried opening Triangle Away. Wont work since Superuser permission isnt granted. Do i have to root it again and then unroot? or is there a way to unroot it completely without going through the fuss again?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] magnusaaa:
After realizing how much confusion there is about root and customizations for our precious Z Ultra. I decided to remain on stock ROM unrooted. Itś annoying for sure not having root permissions of my own device but I rather stay on square stock than scary shady root/rom. Just hoping to see some exploit that will give me a FULLY TRANSAPARENT root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I wouldn't get your hopes up. Finding an exploit is usually the first port of call for a new device. However every dev on here and the Z1 forum has already rooted and installed recovery. So there is no need for them to work out another method of rooting.

Even though tools like 'vRoot' are possibly suspect, 90% of people have used this method, and if its bad, then we can not do anything about it.

-For those that don't want to use that tool, and never have... then you may never have root access..

-For those that have used the vRoot tool or a similar app, and now have 'unrooted' to try and be safe... ... well there is no real point in that. Once rooted, if they have your info... then they have it. Can't be taken away.

What I think... is that they have not stored our information.... that it was only read.

There is no real reason to store IMEI numbers. Nothing can be gained unless they want to release fake Sony Xperia Z Ultras, with our IMEI numbers. and considering the Ultra and Z1 its a specific device for a specific purpose... it doesn't make sense.

For a Samsung S4... i could understand..

Hello guys. I bought a Galaxy Note i717 from ebay a few weeks ago. I planned to use it as a spare phone, so I normally kept it at home for my nephew to play videogames or used it for work, always on airplane mode connected to wifi. Two week ago I started using it with a sim card and I noticed the battery drains really fast. I purchased two OEM batteries thinking it might be a problem with the battery, but it wasn´t. Battery holds for approximately 4 hours with normal use. I tried a factory reset but it didn´t worked at all.

Phone is running stock 4.1.2 since I got it. I was thinking on rooting and installing a custom rom and kernel, but I am wondering if it is some hardware issue because in come cases I´ve noticed the phone is a little bit overheated even without using it to much.

Any advices? Should I try the custom rom or did I lost my money?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] butchieboy:
When the Note was updated to 4.1.2 Jellybean alot of users complained of rapid battery drain. There are some great roms out there..Bigfu or Ptrm3..just search development. I have tried them all and they all have something to offer. The developers here are great for us average users who sit back and wait for a new rom. The At&t update was horrible for me used it one day then switched to custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You mentioned that the problem started since you put a sim in it. Could the problem be that you are in a weak service area and the phone is constantly searching for a better connection? That can kill a battery quickly without using the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrews317:
That´s the moment I started noticing the battery drain because that´s when I was using the phone regularly. Before that, I just left it at home for my nephew to play some games or just used it for sending some work emails at home, so I never noticed if the battery was running out fast or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrews317:
I didn´t knew anything about the users complaining after 4.1.2 update. I will take a try with a custom rom, I hope that is the real problem and not a hardware problem.
