I have Lollipop installed on my Galaxy S3. The service in this bundle stops working and I can't get google play to work.

Can't install a newer version either even thoug I uninstall google play store.

So anyone got a functioning bundle?

Why are you posting here for your GS3? If the GS3 has official LP rom then it already has Google play store and if you have a custom rom installed, there's tons of gapps packages out there you can use. Google it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
Hello

I'm, still shocked.

Today I've upgraded to kitkat from 4.3. Everything stock and OTA.

I've noticed that heavy apps are often killed from RAM, so that when I open them again it takes a startup time as if it were the first time.

Then I have noticed that regardless of the apps I open, my memory usage is always around 500-550MB leaving 1300MB free!!

WTF.

Chrome is the most painful example.

1) Open some tabs in Chrome.

2) Then open some heavy apps, like play music, hangouts, youtube and calendar (maybe you should open some more to fill as RAM as possible).

3) Then open again Chrome

4) Chrome will reload tabs since it has been re-started again

If you have a look to the memory usage you will see aroun 500MBs. What about our 2GB!!!!

Being chrome so heavy, memory management decides to kill it each time, delivering a terrible user experience...

Any idea? Any solution apart from restoring 4.3???

Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lviseth:
No kidding I'm still surprised. In the beginning I was using 800mb but now it sits at 475~mb ram usage. This is ridiculous and I'm using the heck out of it. On the downside its kicking my hangouts out of memory. When I launch hangouts, it takes a while to start up.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
It looks like the system is trying to limit itself to use only 500mb. Maybe that's what Google meant with Kitkat being more optimized? so much for 2gb ram...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Now you mention it I am noticing a lot of apps restarting now. And hangouts is a prime example.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
So does this mean there is now no benefit in having 2GB ram? Kind of like having a laptop with 8GB ram running a 32 bit operating system that can only see 2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Per Google, KitKat is designed to run in older phone too, even at 512MB RAM can still run KitKat. For example, Nexus One which has only 512MB RAM and still able to run KitKat, not stock ROM per se.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maslelviz:
are you sure??? I tried it on purpose. I opened asphalt 8, Dragon Realms, turned the music on on the Play music, Hangouts,Facebook, Google Currents, Chrome, and music tuner in capture mode, and I am able to switch between them seemlessly. I opened settings and it jumps to 719 MB RAM.

On the other hand I faced some weird lag on my N4 these past days with KitKat. I must say I already forgot how laggy Android was long long ago, and now I am forced to remember it.....

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Can someone on stock do a backup then test faux kernel or some other kernel see if it's the same? As i sai mine reaches about 900-1000 before it starts killing off i still think this is a bit low. 2gb of ram so why not use it it's being wasted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
In stock is confirmed. Sometimes you can get up to 680-700 but then in some seconds they get reduced up to the 500 again...

A friend of mine has a Nexus 5. He did the same test and he get stable usage of 1Gb and no tab refresh/hangout re-start..

It is clearly a Nexus 4 issue. Final proof:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=322336

They say that it is logic management problem of android... Chrome has nothing to do except being so heavy... But it happens with lots of others...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abraam:
I can also confirm this

I can also confirm this on Stock Nexus 4 Kitkat (Root).

I did not notice this before, since apps were loaded so seamlessly and quickly from cache (Is it because I'm using ART?), but Chrome gave it away since the tabs are refreshed.

It starts caching apps at ~800+ MB usage till it reaches ~500 MB.

It doesn't bother me performance wise, but is there a way to change the memory limit other than 800 MB on a rooted device?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
Do you Know any custom kernel that allows this better usage?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
Hi,

I finally gave up. Here goes my 5 cents:

1) A factory reset didn't solve any problem. Still using 500MB and chrome/hangouts restarts.

2) I installed franco and apparently memory usage was the same around 500MB in RAM. I didn't test it deeply because chrome/hangouts still reloaded constantly so there was no improvement.

3) I finally came back to 4.3. Then I saw that it uses up to 500MB BUT chrome/hangouts worked flawlessly!!! No reloads at all, even after hours of jumping between apps.

So the conclusion is quite clear. There is something in N4 Kitkat version that causes a malfunction in memory management of some apps.

But this is not related with the 500MB of RAM vs 1500MB of cache.

Probably there is marginal loss if we have more apps in cache than in RAM because it can a little bit longer to copy them again in RAM. But not enough to be noticed and to cause a reload!

I'll wait for the next kitkat N4 release and cross my fingers... In the meantime I'll stay with 4.3...

Thanks for your help!

i've noticed the same in PSX v2 with psk kernel and now with hells core b42 too..so maybe it's beacause of ramdisk of these kernels?!i don't know..when ram overcross 512mb it's starts to cache the other apps..although facebook and facebook messenger stay on the foreground apps all the time and waste a lot of ram..it's a pitty to have 2gb and apps reload instead of just pop up :confused:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
Hello

Apparently 4.4.1 has fixed the chrome reload, the one that happened just using recents apps switch.

But it still has a problem limiting used RAM to 1Gb so eventually it also closes chrome or other apps before it should.

I've used memory booster to have a look and it is clear that fully stock NEVER reaches more than 52% used RAM (including cache), i.e 1Gb.

At that point it starts to kill.

A friend of mine, with a nexus 5 sees up to 20% free RAM. And some CM11 users reports similar results.

Any custom kernel that can solve also this annoying problem? Semaphore or Franco?

I just want to use my 2Gb RAM!!!! Nothing else...

Hi,

My Nexus 7 3G 2012 was rooted, stock rom 4.3 but I've deleted some APK in the system partition. Now my Nexus 7 received an OTA update for the KitKat. What is the quickest way to safely update to the 4.4 while maintain all of the installed apps and userdata?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
1. Download the official KitKat image files from Google

2. Extract system.ing and boot.img from it

3. boot into bootloader

4. fastboot flash system system.img

5. fastboot flash boot boot.img

6. reboot your system
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Tks for your reply.

So all data and installed apps will be inact?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Yes, I am doing it always in that way, because I have a rooted system and normally there are often problems with applying the OTA. Flashing boot and system will keep your data and apps which are located on the data partition. If you want to be really sure to have a clean system, I would also flash a custom recovery, boot directly into recovery and wipe dalvik-cache, but this is not really needed.

Hey,

I saw that there is the Carbon Rom available for the SP and I downloaded it and switched through the files. I actually couldn't find any bootanimation.zip or similar. Does this mean the Carbon Rom hasn't got any bootlogo? And if so, is it possible to a bootanimation.zip file (e.g. from CM) and paste it into system/media ?

Schokonuss
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Passenger:
hi to answer your question yes a bootanimation.zip can be pushed to /system/media/

and give correct permissions rw-,r--,r--

reboot and you got boot animation.

if there is no bootanimation.zip it means it uses standard bootanimation that is already present in the framework it just gets overridden by the zip.

also its bootanimation not bootlogo(thats present in the devicename.rle inside the boot image).

Hope this helps you.

Ah your on windows 8, you need to first disable driver signature enforcement, Google it and then try again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Disable device driver signature enforcement -

Both must be done from the administrator profile to work right

Both of these are for Windows 7 X64 users.

Windows 7 X32 and earlier version users do not have this issue

A.

1. Reboot and on start up press F8 a couple times.

2. Scroll down to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement."

Note: This must be done on every bootup you want to install something not MS signed.

B. For a more permanent solution.

1. First go and uninstall the driver (delete driver) you want to replace and then restart your computer.

2. Now go to the start menu and type cmd.

3. Right click on "cmd" and open a command prompt with elevated privileges (run as administrator.)

4. Now copy these in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.

bcdedit /set testsigning on

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

4. Now install the driver you want.

5. Restart the computer.

6. Profit.

Note: If you do this right, you will see "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7601" (or something comparable) in the lower right corner of your screen. This means that drivers not signed by MS can be installed without getting the Windows has installed the best driver already bit.

If you opt to take your computer out of test mode, the drivers will more than likely be replaced by MS drivers next time. Following steps 1,2 and 3 in part B of tutorial, copy these commands in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions

ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
