[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Naith32:
Hi guys

I'm toying with the idea of rooting my Note 8.0. I've had a look around this part of the forum and the only rooting method that looks relatively safe and problem-free is the '[GT-N51xx] CF-Auto-Root' method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291839) put together by Chainfire.

Can someone who has a good idea on rooting the Note 8.0 confirm this is the best way? I'd be very grateful before I went ahead with the process ;)

yes. It's very easy..takes 30 seconds. You can start with cf auto root and install a custom recovery later (also very easy) if you'd like

Thanks for confirming. Can I root my Note 8 and still keep the stock ROM without a problem?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Stillness:
Rooting

If you root by using CF-Auto-Root, it will just add two things:

1. SU binary to the system

2. SuperSU apk

This is the best way, if you want to root while staying as stock as possible. Keep in mind, rooting will increase the counter, and you need Triangle Away to reset it for a warranty claim.

Alternatively, if you want a custom recovery + root, you can flash PhilZ Touch 5 Recovery by civato. After flashing go to the recovery and power off via it's menu, at this point the recovery will ask you to confirm injecting the SU binary. After that you can boot to the system and install SuperSU from Google Play.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReCreate:
As a nexus 4 owner, and a nit-picky ex-wannabe photographer. I'm wondering. Has the camera of the nexus 5 actually improved yet?

At first, hearing the nexus 4 had a 8MP camera got me excited. Here I was thinking, "**** MY IPHONE 4 :D", and then I got it, and I realize actual quality is no better... In fact, sometimes, quite often, worse. Color in images is mediocre at best, sharpness makes me forget about the 8 megapixels, and the autofocus might as well just be manual.

Video mode is a joke. No autofocus. No refocus. All video frames look like water-colored drawings made by a kid with down syndrome.

So! The big question. Is the camera good yet? Does video mode work any better now? Does it FINALLY challenge the now stone-age 8MP camera found in the iPhone 4S?

Hi,

Can someone please confirm the regedits that I need to make on a wizard to enable date and time at the top of the today screen and also point the mp3 ringtones to a storage card. Are they the same as for 2003SE?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rmg:
anyone ? can it be done?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
They should be the same...

quick how-to :

1. Download PHM Regedit

2. Install to your device

3. Run PHM Regedit

4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MAHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell

5a1. You see the TBOpt value

5a2. Select the TBOpt value - this will open the editing screen

5b1. You do NOT see the TBOpt value

5b2. Click Edit

5b3. Choose "New DWORD Value"

6. Switch to Hexadecimal mode in the editing screen that now appears

7. Set the value to :

10 = Neither time nor Date

11 = Time only

12 = Date only

13 = Date & Time

8. Click OK

9. Click tools

10. Choose Exit

Play some game here or something, as the device needs to actually write the registry out. 1 minute should be plenty of time.

11. Soft-reset your device

Done. You should now see the date/time setting you wanted.

However, you may now notice something else. E.g. the date today is 06/01/13 - but all you can see is "06/01/1". This is because the date string is getting cut off by the program OK/Close button. You can fix this by padding the Short Date Format.

1. Run PHM Regedit

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides

3. Select the value "SSDte"

4a. Add a bunch of spaces to the end (depending on your date format, 1 to 3 may be needed) - this shifts the date/time display to the left.

4b. You can also change the format of the date presentation itself. I use "ddd d " which today results in "Fri 13 " (eek!)

For an overview of the date strings you can use, see :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ide/html/cpconcustomdatetimeformatstrings.asp

( note that you can't use the time strings, as it's a date field )

5. Click OK

6. Click tools

7. Choose Exit

Play some other game, watch a commercial on TV, blabla

8. Soft-reset your device

Done. Do note, however, that this affects -all- programs that make use of the short date formatting calls. So if some application looks all quirky due to the use of extra spaces and/or different format; well, tough. Can't have both :)

The information is useful and should be in a thread of its own or maybe okibi can incorporate in 1.2.3

VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
It's a utility for trimming (defrafmenting) certain filesystems. This is built into 4.3+ and tries to run at least once every day or two, but we don't have it on 4.2.2 ROMs. The fstrim file is the binary that can run at the command prompt -

# usage
# fstrim [-v] {/mount-to-trim} // -v flag runs fstrim and sends output to stdout
#
# Example for trimming /data
fstrim -v "/data"

So fstrim goes into /system/bin or /system/xbin (set the permissions correctly so it can run. The other file is a script that I use to replace the /system/etc/init.d/03filesystems file that runs at boot that's included with the ROM (its named something like that, can't check at the moment). First it remounts all the filesystems just like the one in ROM does except they are mounted without 'discard' since we are trimming and don't need it. Then the script runs fstrim on all mounted volumes that it can run on and logs output to /$ANDROID_DATA/logs (/data/logs). Need to be sure to give this script the correct permmisions as well.

There's an app in the PlayStore that does the same thing except it doesn't tell all the filesystems or remount all your filesystems without the 'discard' flag which is really easy to use. This is just a more thorough method of trimming what that app doesn't and optimizing your mounts accordingly to take advantage of it (using trim on filesystems with 'discard' is redundant and using 'discard' slows performance down as the OS notifies in real time what files in the file index have been deleted/moved..

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Well, it is meant (as is) to replace the 03filesystems script in the /system/etc/init.d folder. Or it can be noticed and set to run on a schedule. It was to written on a vs980 running this ROM, so that's where I'm sharing it.

[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
The script needs the fstrim binary, which you can grab elsewhere if worried about this one. I also went in and made the script as readable as I could. Without the fstrim binary, all this script does is remount all the filesystems without the 'discard' flag. If you are using the LagFix app then that's still useful as we don't need discard if manually trimming.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

I need to clean it up in a proper text editor first before sharing to everybody. The built in text editor is not to useful when scripting because of the screen sizes and blocks of text often become mangled (especially in the comment). I'm going through it now and reediting with the proper text encoding. Won't take long but in the meantime I need to fix the encoding. I added the commenting in last night using the built in editor with Root Explorer which .. Well .. not too useful lol.

Once I'm sure the encoding will work across the board I'll post in that forum.
[Verizon LG G2] Dearborn1977:
I didn't mean to sound like a jerk, was just trying to say that given this mod has you replacing a script and adding a binary, if it's over your head I wouldn't mess with it.
[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
Went in and cleaned the formatting up using 920,l text editor and updated the original post I made with the updated link. If downloading, use the links on my posts and not any of the links from the quotes. If editing, it's best to use an editor that doesn't have word wrap enabled or at least an option to turn it off. That applies to any type of scripting or programming language. Otherwise, be careful that commented text doesn't get cut and interpreted code.

Anyways, he's right. If something looks like a foreign language to youz be sure to study up on it or bring along a good translator/guide before going to visit for a while. There's nothing complicated going on but the terminology obscufcates even the simplest of sentences. See? :) Malladus doesn't (I should say stock 4.2.2) doesn't include fstrim, a feature that's in 4.3+. You won't replacing any binaries unless you've already added fstrim yourself, in which case all you'd need is the script.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I think this is definitely a useful post for those interested, but has anyone actually verified that running fstrim on the G2 is 100% safe from the EMMC corruption issues that had plagued other devices in the past? Downloading Lagfix wouldn't be a good test as that program hasn't been updated since long before the G2 release (March 2013).
[Verizon LG G2] Dearborn1977:
Just reporting back, I'm generally dubious of mods promising to smooth out the ui and have found things like entropy seeders to be more trouble than they're worth, but this mod works, plain and simple. Not that the G2 needs much smoothing out but if you've ever tried a CM based ROM on the G2, you can tell stock based ROMs aren't as smooth.
[Verizon LG G2] soapinmouth:
I was under the impression fstrim was only useful on older hardware.
[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
The fstrim utility is built into Android 4.3/4.4 ROMs by way of baking it in the vold deamon. For more information you can read this page. Basically it's responsible for mounting the /system and /data, ... on start and running the init startup stuff (init.rc for example). They use analgorithm for fstrim as to attempt to have it run at least once every 24-48 hours.

On 4.2.2 we don't have fstrim and instead volumes are mounted so that the OS and disk are both kept up to date on which blocks of memory are free and that can be used. Doing this on the fly slows down performance, and that's why I remount the volumes without that option at the beginning of the script, so we can take advantage of the performance gains and run fstrim ourselves on all volumes (ffilesystem's that are able to be trimmed at least...if the file system doesn't support it then it won't be trimmed).

By placing this script in our init.d folder we can run keep our volumes 'defragmented' without having that extra process run all the time (simple way of pitting it). It should run at least once every 5 days or so at the least. Fstrim is relevent for ext4 volumes (and a handful of other types) and therefore relevant to any device where all filesystem layers support it. One other advantage of fstrim is that it returns a value whereby setting the 'discard' does not. If you run fstrim in verbose more or assign the result to a variable and it returns either "0 bytes were trimmed..." or "xxxx bytes were trimmed..." then you know it's supported and relevant. You can also check your mounts by typing 'mount' at a command prompt. There you can check and see if your filesystems are using discard or not.

Devices that mount their filesystems without discard and without the fstrim utility eventually can and will become intolerably slow or usable due to a process called "write amplification". Eventually it will become hard for the disk to find blocks of memory to erase. Only empty blocks of memory can be deleted. When writing to memory, the smallest is a page. A block holds many pages, so eventually space becomes a premium and it becomes difficult to find empty blocks to erase so that a page in the block can be used to write something do. The more complicated mappings and having to shuffle data around is a huge culprit of 'lagging' ones' device.

It gets confusing, especially when I'm deciding what's important enough to work on and use as there are a lot of tweaks out that don't actually do anything but are still used for some reason (probably out of habit over time). This is definitely one of the more useful tweaks to make on 4.2.x for improving performance (as long as the filesystem mount changes are used alongside it).

I'm not familiar with all the G2 ROMs (as in I've only used one and I use that as a base to build on), and this could possibly be built in in the form of init.d scripts or built into vold if on AOSP (though I haven't seen any AOSP 4.2.x ROMs for the G2 considering the newer versions). In that ca

[Moto X Q&A] Stanleywinthrop:
So a couple of days ago I sideloaded the 4.4 hangouts app and selected SMS. For some reason after I did this my voicemail reverted to something called sprint SMS voicemail. I get a text from sprint saying I have a new voicemail and I provides a number to call or an HTML link. The number is always a busy signal and the link opens chrome and what looks like a flash player but nothing plays. I try to reenable the visual voicemail app, but cant select it in the app manager. Thus I no longer have voicemail. I suppose I might have to wait for kit Kat, but does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem in the meantime?
[Moto X Q&A] shaya4207:
Same here, only difference I have the real Hangouts, I realized it yesterday (I don't get many VMs), I wonder if it has anything to do with HG... :confused:

UPDATE: Apparently it's a major Sprint issue, I just Googled it, but I couldn't find a fix... G'luck and lemme know if you found anything
[Moto X Q&A] Stanleywinthrop:
My own update:

Based off my research, it appears that the problem is that the hangouts app grabs the voicemail sms and intercepts it before the voicemail app can retrieve it. Thus as it stands now, hangouts sms is incompatible with sprint v vm. Hopefully the sprint kit kat update will fix this problem.

As of now the only way to get v vm is to disable sms in hangouts and to renable the v vm app. I've done this,and my voicemail is working normally now.
