It should not make a difference, as /data and /sdcard should have a read ahead value of 512kb.

Anyway type

cat proc/self/mountinfo

and post the output here.

Browse to:

sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:x

where x:x should be replaced by:

[I]179:1 / 179:2 / 179:0 for the [B]sdcard[/B]
138:12 for the [B]/system[/B] partition
138:13 for the [B]/data[/B] partition
138:14 for the [B]/cache[/B] partition[/I]

Now look for the read_ahead_kb file, open it and see what values are in there. If it it 768, it is very likely that Cm 9.2 & 10.1 have the same default values as 7.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
First post revised to the following values:

# Read Ahead
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 512
write /sys/block/mmcblk0p2/bdi/read_ahead_kb 512
write /sys/block/stl12/queue/read_ahead_kb 4
write /sys/block/stl13/queue/read_ahead_kb 4
write /sys/block/stl14/queue/read_ahead_kb 4
write /sys/devices/virtual/block/stl12/queue/read_ahead_kb 4
write /sys/devices/virtual/block/stl13/queue/read_ahead_kb 4
write /sys/devices/virtual/block/stl14/queue/read_ahead_kb 4

I took these from the main kernel tree. It seems that even 512kb on data was a silly idea...

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ChiGGz:
Hi All,

Was thinking of buying a Huawei P6 for a self xmas present. I wanted to know how you guys like your phones and what is your overall impressions?

Any major issues you're encountering after using it for a while?

Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Its good phone and gets better and better every day. About the development i mean. If you have small budjet, buy this. You wont get better phone on this price. If you have more money, spend them to some other phone :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Agrees with Blunt. And personally, I am quite happy and without any regrets, fits for my needs and cant think of anything to replace it (except for incorporating some features of moto x and lg g2 ). Plus i don't think i would be happy with a phone that looks and feels worse than P6 when i buy the next phone. It Increased my benchmark of what next phone should be.

But then much of it also depends on what you use your phone for and how compatible with your needs.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ChiGGz:
That's a good point. I carry two phones with me--personal and work. I could look for a dual SIM but I don't mind carrying two if they're both Slim. I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 which I love to death, but I'm realizing the phone needs a slightly bigger screen, faster and a little less heating up. Form factor is high on the list for me and the S2 has been great in this department. My work phone is an Galaxy S1 and the two of these phones together has been great.

In terms of usage:

One day battery life on moderate usage is ok for me. I have push email on for 3 email accounts and use BBM/whatsapp/trillian.

I really think the P6 is a legitimate upgrade that stays within my requirements. Curious if you guys think the same
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
There are users who moved from S3 to P6 and quite happy. So definitely S1 and S2 users would be happy.

P6 battery would be more than sufficient for such usage you mentioned. Only really heavy browsers and gamers should be concerned about battery on P6.

Other than that, it seems the only contender to P6 in the price range is Nexus 5 (unless the Nexus 5 is too high in your market) although I personally am not impressed with it. .

But then you should certainly wait a couple weeks more. There is the upgraded version of P6 named P6S releasing on December 18. The P6S is expected to be same price of P6 in which case, the price of P6 would cut down. Furthermore watch out for winter offers in your area. The P6S btw would be having a better CPU that is more battery efficient, which is always a plus. And it would also have LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
CM10.1 comes with a built-in superuser in the settings menu. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. If I open a terminal and type 'su' it will say permission denied. I know I'm rooted because I downloaded Koush's Superuser from the Play Store, updated su binaries, and tried to 'su' with terminal and it worked perfectly. I uninstalled Koush's superuser app and tried to 'su' in terminal again and still it said permission denied.

Basically the built-in superuser is not working at all. How can I get it to work without reflashing the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yashade2001:
Update su binaries manually... It shoukd work..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
I just reflashed CM and it worked but I guess pushing the su binaries would have done the same thing
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] subhumanderelict:
I finally rooted and installed Kit Kat last night, but there seems to be a small issue and I’m not sure if it’s indicative of a flawed installation. As you can see from the screenshots below, in landscape mode, the icons are basically touching the status bar at the top of the screen:

This happens in landscape mode when rotated both left and right. Here’s a shot with the “Show layout bounds” option selected from the “Developer options” menu:

While I was still on 4.3 Jelly Bean, I unlocked and rooted using the toolkit found here: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/. Once that was done, I allowed the device to install the 4.4 OTA that it had already downloaded. The device booted into TWRP, upgraded to 4.4, rebooted, and then I used the toolkit again to re-root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPlayForKeepss:
Hi all,

As a prerequisite to this, I don't know much about Kindle fires but I am tech savvy. That being said, my fiancee's mom gave her a broken kindle fire for free so assuming it's fixable, free kindle fire for us. After doing a lot of research I believe it to be in a bootloop. I've installed KFU and got the drivers.bat file to work (which took a long time). But now the ADB status is offline and the boot is unknown. When I go into my device manager there isn't even an android device on it. So I'm stuck here. If anyone has any suggestions I would be forever thankful.

Thanks all,

Keeps.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPlayForKeepss:
Hi Damystica,

Thanks for the reply. As you can see in my original post at the top I also stated I knew next to nothing about Kindle fires. Just because I'm tech savvy does not mean I know every term ever used by people talking about a product I stated I know nothing about. But thank you for your kind input on the thread and have a great night.

Thanks,

Thanks Andro, I'll have to get my hands on a factory cable once I get my paycheck.

P.S. I discovered something new about the Kindle today. IT only boot loops when plugged into a wall, when plugged into my computer it only glows orange on the charger light but doesn't loop. Tonight I left it plugged into a wall just to see what would happen when I woke up it was sitting on at the unlock screen. When I unlocked it worked for about ten seconds before restarting itself and going back into a bootloop.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPlayForKeepss:
I honestly have no idea. The Kindle was given to us in this broken state and I've never used it before. I'm not able to get my computer to recognize it either. So I'm basically lost on any information other than it's a first generation Kindle Fire.

Yes, I'm sure it's first gen.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androvista:
Do you remember the lock screen?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPlayForKeepss:
All I really remember about it was it flashes Kindlefire for a few seconds and then it's like a darkish backround picture with a long yellow bar around the mid section that you swipe to unlock it. I can try and get to repeat itself to get to that point and get more details if need be. Sorry I can't say much it only stays there for a few seconds.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androvista:
It is first gen then, but its not rooted huh?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IPlayForKeepss:
As far as I know, no it is not rooted.

Umm... While its turning on try installing a recovery
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlasp:
Yeah. When I was in this situation, it was online for a few seconds while booting up and I installed TWRP during those few seconds using KFU in the dev thread.:p hope it works.

sometimes, you have to reboot several times but the actual install is quick.

then it reboots and you have a new recovery option during boot

I have a fantastic O2 EXEC and I have istalled a JasJar Italian rom. At now all ok but I have some problem with some symbols: for example the slash / in original rom (and in my keyboard) is FN + o but in Italian jasjar rom is FN + 7. This is only 1 of many different position of symbols. Can you help me??

Thanks

I assume you have the english qwerty style keyboard. Try this: you need a registry editor - HKey_Local_Machine\Software\OEM\Qwerty\ put in 66569 instead of whatever is there.

If this doesn't work for you then someone will have the number you need. I know the German qwertz kbd is 66567.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mockberd:
Hey everybody, how's it going?

Basically today I was using my Nexus 7 (it has KitKat installed) and it randomly turned off on me. It had a decent amount of battery life too. My heart dropped to my butt since I thought that it was gone for good, I bought it about a month ago and the store (Sam's Club) guarantee expired after two weeks. I did some investigating and all I found was results for when it doesn't turn on and doesn't charge, or if it just doesn't charge or turn on, last two options separately.

My tablet can turn on and it "supposedly" charges, but when I plug in the charger it stays in zero percent even though the charging symbol is there. If I unplug it, the battery symbol tuns red as if it's low on battery. I would see if the battery icon is just 'stuck' and it really is charging, but I don't want to risk letting it die and then not being able to turn it on completely. I tried factory resetting, used another USB cable, I even used another charger (Samsung Galaxy Y). I still got nothing.

Any suggestions?

Edit:

I decided to risk it and use it without the charger. It's working and I'm downloading things from Google Play, even with the battery on 0%. This is really weird....

2nd Edit:

I downloaded a battery life notifier from Google Play, it also says that my battery is on 0%.

I checked out a battery calibration tool and it needs root. Not sure if I'd like to do that. I rooted my Galaxy Y once and went through a scare, and the process is much easier than on the Nexus 7 from what I've read. Or is there a simple update.zip thingy like for the Galaxy Y?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xFoCaLx:
I have a 4.1.1 Transformer Prime that I was finally able to unlock last night. After unlocking I followed this blog post to get nvflash setup and download all of my backups. Up to this point everything went smoothly.

After such I loaded CM 10.2 and Google apps on a flash drive to load the rom but even after many reboots Flatline would not see my microSD card. It would still boot to the stock rom at this point so I booted up and put the rom and apps on the internal storage and got back into Flatline. At which point I kept getting errors for mounting the internal storage. I loaded TWRP recovery hoping for different results but found that it asked for a password right away when going into TWRP. This helped me figure out that for some reason my internal storage was encrypted. After reformatting the internal storage I was able to load TWRP without it asking for a password. Since TWRP was already loaded I tried using it to isntall CM 10.2 and gapps. Install went clean but it would never boot the rom, just bootloop. At this point I had trouble getting back into recovery, it would just bootloop and ignore my Vol down press. Eventually using nvflash as an exit to the boot loop I was able to get back into recovery. I then tried to flash CM10.1 with similar results, no bootloop, just hang at the Asus screen.

At this point I decided to change gears a little and thought I would try Androwook after seeing all the posts about it. So I loaded up the files onto my microSD and and double read the post and loaded the Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip. After the blue bar filled and it rebooted I was presented with a signature failure error, bootloader 0x000..8. Very discouraging. Booted into nvflash again, but I was presented with a problem, which is very similar to the state I am currently in.

My bootloader is hosed, I cannot get to recovery, and I am unsure as to how/which file to use for recovery from the backups I made earlier. After some searching I found a post with the ICS bootloader linked. I downloaded it and loaded it through nvflash and now I am back to having access to fastboot and recovery again. However, the bootloader version is an old version, AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28. I searched some more and found a post that claimed the bootloader was AndroidRoot 10.4.2.15. I snagged it, loaded it up through nvflash but it wont let me into recovery or fastboot. I loaded a JB recovery through nvflash hoping it might help, but it didnt. So now I'm trying to get back to something I can use. Even a stock Prime is better than one that cannot boot roms. I tried loading Flatline recovery hoping to use it to load the JB bootloader again, but it doesnt seem to ever load in the ICS bootloader.

So currently I have nvflash working, the AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28 bootloader, with TWRP ICS 2.6.3.0 as the recovery. I am hoping someone can help me get this thing to a point where I can load a rom that works or back to a stock rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Fair play, at least you tried and you probably learnt a lot in the process.

You have nvflash backups so don't panic. It is fixable.

If you finally get to boot your transformer prime, would you mind posting here what caused all that mess and the steps you followed to solve it?

PD: Flumpster, I've been reading this forum for a week since tomorrow arrives my transformer prime, which i recently purchased on another forum, and I hope to unlock it, then run nvflash to backup the whole thing and finally install hairybean without any trouble. I would like to thank you for all the work you have done this far helping people to solve their bricks. I really appreciate the way you explain everything, it helps me understanding all this stuff. Great Job:cowboy:

This was a new one on me and I have no idea how he got himself into it but we managed to fix it anyhow.

He was the first person I have helped tho that needed to restore unlock-token.img, factory-config.img and bricksafe.img as he had some error saying failed to inject certificate, unrecoverable bootloader.

As long as you have all your nvflash backups you will be fine amigo. ;)
