[Samsung Galaxy Mega] IMEI_Bandit:
write qcn file

I cant post links yet but google i527 aws qcn file. Download it and write the qcn file using qpst. make sure to make note of your IMEI because it will get zeroed out. just write it back using rf manager in qpst. Not only will you get your signal back but it will get LTE on tmobile aws band.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
I am getting my s4 in a few days and I think I'll flash carbon rom straight away (to avoid resetting at a later stage) but what good features do I lose from touchwiz? Is there anything in particular I could miss?

How are game performances? Do certain games have compatibility problems with non OEM roms?

I have loads of games on my s2, is it okay to transfer DATA backup (or apk?) with titanium backup. I read this affects battery life due to old files or is that just for background apps?

How is battery life verses touchwiz rom?

If I flash 4.3 carbon now will I more than likely have to reset to update to 4.4, I read this happened. 4.2-4.3

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoxx626:
You lose every single gimmicky Touchwiz feature. Chances are you won't be only flashing one rom and I recommend you don't flash just one rom anyways. You can really get a feel for a rom until you actually flash it, so just flash whatever you want to try out until you find the right rom.

Battery life CAN be better, depending on which rom + kernel + kernel settings you choose to use, so just try different things until you find the right stuff for your kind of phone usage.

Also, you will most definitely be updating Roms. And if you like to keep up to date you will be wiping/flashing pretty often. Final advice, just flash different Roms and READ a lot so you don't screw something up.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
Okay thanks very much

What's your opinion on using titanium backup from:

An old phone

Through rom updates

And across different roms?

Any recommendations in roms to try?

-would you recommend carbon?

-I want stability/support with games

-good standby battery (does underclock/volting actually help? )

-data speeds aren't a problem as they aren't great anyway here but do all roms still have wifi tethering? I use wifi when it works (rural Ireland :/)

-stable gps

-likely to receive 4.4

I know it's a lot to ask for :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
I also like loads of customisation :) So I think stripped down/google edition are out of the choice :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I actually prefer the TW Rom as you gain:

Better camera app that makes full use of the closed drivers which AOSP doesn't apart from the GPE editions, you gain burst mode and other modes on TW,

IR full support bit patchy on AOSP roms,

TW features, such as AirView which I find useful quickly hover over emails or sms messages for a preview on the native apps, also works on the native music player,

Multi Window, useful as sometimes I'll have YouTube running while browsing or replying back to an email or message or such,

Stability, it should be stable compared to AOSP roms, use my phone as a daily driver so stability is important,

Native social network syncing if you make use of social networks which ties in with your events and calendars,

Etc, you'd need to explore TW and see if you make use of any of its features, AOSP is goods, but with xposed framework TW is more than bearable. Only thing I dislike is the theme of stock TW but I alternate between domination theme and Naxos and it gets rid of the stock colours, speaking of colours TW has native screen display options to change the display colour,

Adapt sound is also useful which boosts headphone sounds tailored to your headphones and also boosts call sound.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
:/ disappointed about the camera. Is the CM camera much worse in quality?

What's your opinion on using titanium backup from:

An old phone

Through rom updates

And across different roms?

Do some games have compatibility problems with custom roms?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yes, simply because they don't have access to the "closed" drivers implemented by Samsung.

I've done it in the past it shouldn't be a problem at all. Just update on your existing phone, you can then either upload it to the cloud or transfer the contents to your new phone and just restore everything. Should work without any hitches.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
Xposed might fill my need of customisation :)

Have you come across anything like extsd2internalsd from s3 for s4?...Outside of directory bind?

GTA San andreas is a but big...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yes I use foldermount. Allows to move things to the SD by creating symlinks. I've got my big games on the SD card by this method.

Xposed is excellent.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
Okay ill try that thanks

Just one last question...

I understand that linking the Android folder is a bad idea because it breaks the path to data or obb.

So most games use obb, is it a good idea to just link the obb folder(only one mount) or should I do each game separately

I'm wondering which will work best with updating, I think obb?

I made a mess with directory bind before :0

Does folder mount allow mount at boot or is that just a bad idea(is this a constant process or does the phone just look for a file a get redirected)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Folder Mount is fine it boots at startup. I link the folder which has the data/obb file for each game. It works well and rarely has any issues with it. Free version is only limited to 3 mounts if more you'd have to pay for the full app but it's worth it and reviews are great.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
Have you ever had problems updating apps? Or do you unmount, download and move over each time?
[Nexus 5 General] ecdy:
Android, even at 4.4.2 and the computing power of the Nexus 5, still can't compete with iOS for smoothness. Using a friend's iPhone 5 is a revelation. What with "project butter" and all that hype, continuous revision of the OS, and continuous improvement in the hardware, I would have expected iOS and Android to have been more comparable in performance by now. Eric Schmidt and the boys should carry an iPhone and use it some of the time, to see what they're up against.

My 16Gb Nexus 5 stock, unrooted, with relatively few apps, no music, no games, and a lot of free memory.

[Nexus 5 General] offdutyninja808:
I'm glad you found something that works better for you.

My whole family uses iPhones (of all flavors) and they are all exactly the same. Variety and choice is the beauty of Android.

I feel that Android has far surpassed iOS in so many ways. But to each his own.

[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
My opinion: People who still complain about performance (as OP calls it "smoothness" ) on an android high end phone should either learn how to set up their device (no rooting required), or move on to the next platform. You never know, they might even allow you to change the wallpaper, hell yeah :good:
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
if you dont like the nexus 5 get a Google Play Edition device HTC one

like with any product launch expect some issues.
[Nexus 5 General] Deleted member 5149701:
I just came from an iPhone 4S, wife has the iPhone 5 and my roommates wife has the 5S. I honestly switched to the Nexus 5 because I wanted to try Android out without any bloatware, and I liked the screen size. As of right now I don't mind being out of the ecosystem with iMessaging, but who knows, maybe soon I will.

I'm enjoying rooting, installing CM11, and learning what I can do with Android. I love iOS, but the 3.5-4" screen size is old school now and I probably won't go back unless they update to a bigger size screen.

Last time I used Android was Jellybean on a Samsung Note 1, I bought it, switched to it and in a day switched back to the iPhone. I think KitKat is awesome, maybe I didn't play with the features of Jellybean, but I didn't know it can do what it does on my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] system.img:
The smoothness on the iPhone is mainly due to slow animations(Apple made them slow on purpose), pseudo-multitasking(apps in memory are frozen after some time to prevent it from running in background), better optimization(I agree that Android needs better optimization) and a very simple and basic application grid(no widgets, etc)
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Wait till art kicks into release. You'll be drooling over our smoothness ;)

[Nexus 5 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
I detect some serious iFan butturt. Don't like the nexus 5? Sell it, save up for the rest of the year, and maybe you can buy an iPhone. I think anyone who knows what they're talking about prefers the highly customisable and open sourced Linux based Android, to the locked, blank, outdated and proprietary iOS. this is coming from someone who just ditched an iPad 4th gen for the new Nexus 7.
[Nexus 5 General] Skinpipe:
Does the op think that people in the nexus 5 forum are going to agree as a majority, nah.

Join an iphone forum and post your opinion there, good point that someone made with the slow animation speed on ios, if you do the same on android it does give the same effect that apple want their users to have i believe its called the "ios feel" some ass like that.

Hmmm "Way inferior to ios" is ridiculous, why do i keep looking in the general section when all i see is donkey threads like this one.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
A friend of mine who was coming from an iPhone 5 said his new N5 had some lags and frame skips, especially while opening the multitasking view. After I made him switch to ART he's not complaining anymore about smoothness, so try getting rid of Dalvik runtime, then head back here and post your (updated) comments ;)
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Where is the lag that people are talking about?! I had the 5S for a few days and using chrome on it was like using android 1.6. The whole os crashed way more than android and even safari had some lag to it.

Armando Ferreira did a video comparing 4.4 and ios7 and he saw the same thing.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Ios7 actually has real multitasking now, so ill give them that. Instead of comparing android to ios all the time, I actually think that android needs to become like wp8 more. Even the lowest end windows phone can run great. The rest of the os is junk, but the core of it is pretty good fi you ask me.
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Android 4.4.2 is already as smooth as iOS.

[General Questions and Answers] sierraaabakey:
In my dream my family was having a family get together. They all left for a little bit for some odd reason so I went to take a shower. I sat in the tub and let the hot water run while I plugged the tub so the water would stay. The water overflowed into the entire area where all of my family was hanging out, the rose about 4 foot in the hang out area while I just stayed in the tub and relaxed while I had the shower running. My ex (from about two years ago) appeared in the bathroom and got into the tub beside me. We acted as if nothing was weird between was and cuddled, kissed, and did the deed. (which was something we never even did while dating) When we finished he smiled kissed me and stroked my hair lipping the words he missed me and left. The shower had stopped going and the water overflow was gone. I dried off and got dressed. By this time all of my family was back in the hangout area. A little fairy flew up to me and we began talking like it was normal. My older sister and her fiance Began talking to the fairy as well. My sisters fiance pulled out a bow and arrow and shot it at the fairy but I saved the fairy. There was a mist on the arrow that knocked the fairy out. I put the fairy in my pocket to keep it safe. This created a man hunt for the fairy. I stayed for awhile acting like I was a part of the man hunt until worrying my family would figure out I had the fairy I left. I got into this open car with a bunch of wagons at the end. A girl I played basketball with and two other people who I can't remember appeared in the back of the wagons. We were driving (very fast) all over town trying to keep my family from the fairy. At some point the girl that I played basketball with and I began arguing. At some point we just stopped and she was the one who began driving. While she was driving I had a grape. I opened the grape and put it up to the fairies nose, the smell made the fairy wake up but it was still very weak and woozy. The girl who was driving was whipping us in the wagons all around going at increasingly large speeds. We almost hit a tree when she said," Driving isn't so had afterall!" I realized she had never drove before and made her give me the wheel where I drove at the same speed without whipping around the wagons in the back. I drove for awhile when I drove into a train station (this whole time we were all very frightened my family would find us and kill the fairy) where I had to dodge many trains driving past us. There was a smooth part where there were no train tracks so I began driving on there. This led to a door. I began to open the door when I woke up and the dream was over.

Hi guys, I just want to share some good news and bad news for those who were waiting for OTA and root. I start with good news that vodafone UK firmware got OTA update. What you have to do is flash vodafone UK 534 and root it. Then OTA to 290. You still have root. Bad news is that the root is only partial and you don't get write access to system. Good luck guys :highfive:

I don't see the point in having a rooted phone with no rw access to system.
[Xperia Z1 General] ckchan08:
260? i tot the latest 4.3 updates are 290?

so can we still use those apps which requires root access like titanium backup, auto hide softkey and greenify?
[Xperia Z1 General] hololodilolo:
Sorry. I will correct the build no. It will ask root access prompt as normal but I haven't tested yet whether fully funtion or not. For rom toolbox-font installer didn't work. Installed font and rebooted but font is not changed :confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] Mobfigurz:
No it does not, as it does not address the Rooting issue on Locked Bootloaders. The link you posted is currently only good for devs and those with UB's, not for the general user of XDA, so this should remain open, I was looking for someone to report their findings in regards to OTA and root status.

I have received an OTA update notification, but have not installed it as I have currently and want full root access without Unlocking the Bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 General] hololodilolo:

Is it possible that using the

Code:

root@C6903:/system # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

root@C6903:/system # mount -o rw,remount /system

root@C6903:/system #

trick in a init.rc file before making the OTA update would allow us to keep system rw?

Edit: can someone confirms that if a phone has a 290 fw rooted through OTA (keeps previous root), using these commands in Terminal Emulator or SManager after each boot works?

Edit 2: it seems after further reading that it is not possible, but if someone can confirm / provide info about having root without unlocking bootloader, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mobfigurz:
Seems currently that it is not possible, the thread in the link above has that information within, and the OP stated only partial root on his device after having a rooted 257 and OTA update to 4.3. Seems we are screwed, for the meantime at least. Who knows, we may have 4.4 out before we ever get full root on Locked Bootloaders with 4.3.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Fourgig:
Can someone tell me the dimensions of the Prophet's LCD screen? I currently have an XDA IIs and to me, this is about the perfect size for a PDA. The Prophet obviously has a smaller screen but maybe I can live with it? My main usage for these devices is PDA 1st, and phone a very distant 2nd.

Or is there another device that I should look at? I've got to have quad band, EDGE and bluetooth. I'd prefer SDIO storage over mini-SD so I won't have to buy new cards, but it's not a deal breaker. A hardware keyboard is not a necessity as I found I hardly use the one on my IIs. Camera quality is not a concern for me either.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Tubbie_GL:
THE Prophet measures 108 x 58 x 18,1 mm.

It is a rather small device, but I think it has some next to perfect dimensions. yeah, the screen is rather small at 2,8" but in general it has worked out just flawless for me...

There is owever some issues on clockspeed, the cpu is rather slow, compared to an ordinary PDA, but I have not had any bad experiences yet or experienced any speed issues... but I do not run any navigation software either.

Living in Greenland there is not much need for it:)

I would definiel give it a "Thumbs up", but your choice should be balanced of against your needs in terms of screen size and processing power, because if you are running a lot of heavy apps and has a need for a larger screen it would not be a perfect match, but as I stated above, it does suit my needs and the size is just perfect as well.

It can actually be worn with a suit without looking bulky.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] kevroc:
It sounds like the prophet is perfect for you. I love the size and screen.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Tubbie_GL:
Well something next to perfect anyway... for longer business trips and for heavier work, I would not last long without my powerbook though, but guess we are all alike when it comes to that.
