[Galaxy S 4 General] modyt:
Hey guys,

I have been an active member in the i9500 forum for quite some time now. I'm proud of the way our existing developers have made us a usable, in fact almost stable CM11 ROM. I applaud them for their genuine efforts. But I recently got the Nexus 5 and previously had the Galaxy S3 i9300. Being an avid flasher, I cant help but feel dissatisfied with the level of development we have for our current device.

So what I propose is this. Let's request developers to come and develop for us. Let's send mails, post in other forums, tweet to them and do whatever it takes. We have a solid base in CM already. I'm sure we can have at least some devs who'd be interested in coming and developing and look at this device as a challenge. I have already started this process with inviting Yank (those with S3 would be familiar with his work). He says he's bogged down with other devices but I'm sure if enough of us request him, he'll help us with his work.

Lastly, I'd like to thank [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], [MENTION=3150645]runedrune[/MENTION], [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION], [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION], @al_iraqi, [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] and everyone else who has contributed to this device.

Please post your thoughts or comments below. Let's take this initiative to make our device supported by maximum number of developers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] medoooooo:
I agree but i think we should find the best developer's in the whole forum and ask them if they would like to help us if he wants then we should donate to get him an i9500 for the work
[Galaxy S 4 General] modyt:
Let's bring it to the notice of developers of AOKP, Slim ROMs, PAC and others that we have an almost stable CM 11 base rom. I'm sure they'd be interested in supporting another device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
What exactly do you want as "development "? I keep seeing such complaints and mostly it's just hot air without ever any concrete feature request or technical insight in what's being demanded.

We don't need development for the sake of development. Other forums are riddled with crap upon crap of ROMs and stuff with everybody doing their own thing, and it's 80% nonsense and useless.

Then there's the nature and demographic of the userbase on this device; which in my opinion leaves much to be desired. I single-handedly brought up all the kernel stuff myself from scratch, but it feels like it didn't matter anyway because there's no audience for it save the few souls who really care. Not to mention <5 donations in the last 5 months, which will certainly cause me to sell this device in the next few months instead of keeping it so that I can offset the next purchase. The US/EU community was much more fun to work with.

So again, what do you really want? There's by now a bug-free AOSP tree and I'm keeping a fully featured kernel up. If you want development then work with the existing people, because frankly asking other devs to come in and magically fulfill your expectations seems overly dismissive of the existing options and reeks a bit of ignorance towards the notion of developments in general.
[Galaxy S 4 General] modyt:
I respect your work. And I am actually amongst the handful people who use your kernel. But that doesn't mean that I'm happy with having one custom kernel and one custom rom. Every rom has its unique feature and every developer has his own signature. I love PA hybrid and Halo, I love AOKP ribbons and I love The Real Dark Slim. That's why I want these developers to come and develop for us. I thank you for your work and wish you don't abandon this device either. As for donations, I'm sure it's not donations that these developers work for. It's just a reward for them if someone donates.

No disrespect but everyone has their own point of view. Let's not generalize. There are plenty of people using this device. There's as good a user base for this device as there has been for other Sammy devices. Lack of development has in fact deterred people from active participation. Every day I see new and new people commenting on threads of cm 11 because finally we have a stable rom.

If you are offended by something I said, I would suggest you don't follow this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hotheabilly:
Get cash from your hobbies, not the cash that is used to be your hobbies. I dunno what the better english for this as I'm not native speaker. I suggest you andrei to make synapse as a freemium app (some basic features of your kernel is free and for other you must pay or purchase full version apl to configuring it) or make it a full paid app/not free, and it'll give you sum of cash if you doing this as your main source of $. Just my 2cent. Dont flame me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
That will not happen due to Google country restriction policy, simple as that.

I'm just justifying why developers won't come to this device from my own experience and perspective. To even consider getting this late into the game makes even less sense.

I understand the ROM perspective, but still you don't really say what you want for the other.

Of course it is. It also means that it's unrewarding if nobody does. Like I said, this is plainly due to the demographic of the userbase. It is very very different from the S3/N2, believe me.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrew17856:
I've written an app called PowerIP Lite that allows you to power or on off your electronics from anywhere in the world using your mobile.

It is designed to work with the IP Power 9258 / 9222 / 9223 / 9255 / 9212 / 9280 range network controlled power switches from Aviosys. Depending upon the particular switch, you can control up to 8 electronic devices per switch. They have normal mains outlet sockets for ease of connection.

You can see the range of switches on Aviosys' website here: bit.ly/1464l88

Possible applications for PowerIP Lite are:

• rebooting or power cycling a server or router by remote control if it has crashed

• turning your computer on or off when you are out so that you can use it remotely

• remote control security lights to turn them on or off when you are out

• remote control heating systems

• home automation applications

• power off your devices to save energy rather than leaving them on standby

• monitoring equipment (with the 9212 Delux)

There are two versions of PowerIP. PowerIP Lite is free, but is ad-supported and is limited to controlling two Aviosys switches (i.e. up to 8 devices).

There is also a Pro version, which has lots of extra features:

• remote control as many power switches as you like

• get and set schedules to switch devices on or off automatically at preset times, even when you do not have mobile coverage

• define macros to control your equipment according to user-defined sequences

• group your frequently used equipment onto a favourites screen

• landscape support for phones and tablets

• create shortcuts on your home screen

• get output names from the power switches during setup to save yourself having to type them in

• reorganise the power strips to have them in any order on screen

• power cycle an output using a specified delay

• monitor temperature and current on the 9258W2/9255 Pro

• password protect your settings

• "protect" individual power outputs to prevent a user from accidentally powering off important equipment

• “protect” power outputs so that certain users cannot control them at all

• integration with other apps (such as Tasker) using Android intents

There is a full user manual which describes the operation and features of both PowerIP Lite and PowerIP Pro. You can find it here: bit.ly/1a9oM5G

Presently supported switches/firmwares are:

IP9258 S/T/Ping (v1.56, v.1.61, v.1.62, v3.00, v.4.01, v.4.03)

IP9258 SP (v1.52)

IP9258 HP (v1.1, v1.16)

IP9258 WiFi (v1.1, v1.16)

IP9258 W2 (v1.00)

IP9223 K (v4.01)

IP9258 SX (v1.38)

IP9258 DS (v4.01, v4.03)

IP9258 Pro (v4.01)

IP9255 (v4.03)

IP9222 (v1.00)

IP9212 Delux (v1.00)

IP9255 Pro (v4.03)

IP9280 (v1.00)

If your firmware/switch is not listed it will probably work anyway but if you have any problems do get in touch.

Could I flash a custom rom intended for a mediatek device to a qualcomm device? Does chip manufacturer matter in this case? I have a qualcomm snapdragon 200 quadcore processor device. I want to slow it down and cannot find a custom rom for this chipset. Please help.

Hello???
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
It'd probably hard brick it, yeah. Your impatience and accusatory attitude is pretty off putting and I almost didn't respond because of it. Not getting a reply isn't anything personal against you or a reflection on anyone's kindness or lack thereof (maybe they just didn't know, maybe they were off saving orphan kittens) , chillax please.
[General Questions and Answers] sauja:
first mediatek and qualcomm are two different manufactures of SoCs

The s/w( Kernel+drivers+android stack) will be very very different for both of them

NEVER EVER EVER flash a rom that is not made specifically to your device, there are some vendor files which are unique

Also like PC motherboards, a phone that uses the same processor will have different modules(GPS, Bluetooth.....)

In Short: NO, you cannot flash a custom rom intended for a mediatek device to a qualcomm device

for you second question, "I want to slow it down" , if it means you want to underclock, use any of the app listed on http://appcrawlr.com/android-apps/best-apps-cpu-clock
[General Questions and Answers] sauja:
You need to root the device first

Again rooting is device specific( android=>open source=>many devices :))

be sure to search the rooting method for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] PradeepMurugan:
You should not flash a rom of other device rom in your device even if it has same Chipset

It will hard/soft brick your device depends on kernel/bootloader included in rom

Only flash roms of your device

Search in your device forum to get roms

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

You can underclock using a CPU governor or init.d script

And actually, the dev didn't support manufacturer oriented ROMs like Sense, TouchWiz and LG UI.

And GravityBox needs Xposed Framework which is still experimental for Gingerbread.

-on google chrome i cant press sing in(see attachment)

and other apps in the same area but on keyboard everything is ok :confused:

I did drop my phone 6 weeks a go on the screen and since then my screen upper right conner started to move and maybe some dirt got in true there and cause this issue or is just because my phone is more than 2 years old and i should consider buying a new screen :confused:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco_nx:
Hi guys

I have a Nexus 4, REALLY like this phone but battery life is horrible. I've tried to underclock, undervolt, flash diferents roms and kernels but nothing works.

Moto G and Nexus 4 have similar prices in Brazil, but i dont care about the superior processor and GPU on N4, for me the main things are screen quality and battery.

So i need to know, is there a noticeable diference between N4 and G battery life? And most important, screen on time?

And how about the display quality, brightness, contrast ? Is the panel on the G superior to N4's one?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popple3:
I've actually just made the switch from Nexus 4 to Moto G. The screen to me seems better than the Nexus 4. Deeper colours, and no backlight bleed. Speed wise for most apps is near identical. You'd only actually notice the difference side by side most of the time.

As with you, I made the move for battery life, and so far, it's looking better so far. I'm still using my Nexus 4 as my work phone, and it sometimes drains faster than my Moto G, even though I'm not using it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco_nx:
What's your average SOT ? 3,5 hours is a very good result for me on my N4
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringy2010:
I had the Nexus 4 and now have the Moto G and IMO the screen on the Moto G is better, the Moto G processor is better and it doesn't slide off everything you put it on ☺

The only thing I feel the Nexus 4 had better was the camera, and that wasn't very stellar anyway. Oh and the GPU was better, but you won't notice a difference.

Yes the S4 Pro in the Nexus 4 was top end when it came out but the Snapdragon 400 in the moto g is the newer SOC so performs better anyway, I get better benchmarks from the Moto G than I got from my nexus 4 (GPU scores aside)

The moto g also feels way smoother in the UI than my nexus 4 ever did, something just wasn't quite right with the Nexus 4. The moto g is the superior handset.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americoz:
I have a 6+ hrs SOT with Moto G. And 50 hrs of battery.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankross:
Completely agree with this.

I have had a Nexus 4 for almost a year and recently received a Moto G. Before hand, I thought the Moto G would be inferior to the Nexus in every conceivable way, but I am pleasantly surprised.

The battery life is better and screen time is approximately an hour or so longer (though this varies, of course). The quality of the display is remarkable for a device that costs so little and the performance of it is good enough for even the most demanding of apps.

What's surprised me the most, however, is the camera, which produces more than acceptable pictures but is fractionally slower than the Nexus when it comes to capturing them.

Otherwise, brilliant phone and if I had neither, I would get the Moto G over the Nexus 4 in a heartbeat.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AwesomeTurtle:
As far as I know, the only real advantage with the Nexus 4 is the Adreno 320 GPU, but if you're not the type to play bleeding-edge 3D games, then the Moto G makes perfect sense as an alternative.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco_nx:
I see in this forum that many people moved from a N4

I have a friend who would give a stomach pain to read this thread. I think by cost benefit the Moto G is better.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mELIANTE:
I have the Nexus and my girlfriend the Moto.

I prefer the screen of the Moto, the battery life is great and the performance matches that of the Nexus, at least in normal operation. I didn't try any heavy graphics games, but due to the different GPU I believe the Nexus has the edge there.

Anyway, when I got her the Moto I had a gigantic urge to buy one for myself, it's that good!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungAdmire:
The Nexus 4 is better, the only pluses the Moto G has in comparison are better battery life, 'newer' and that's about it i guess

I have both. N4 as the primary and Moto G as the back up. I love both.

Screen wise, the display on Moto G is better. Battery life on Moto G is much better. Ergonomics on the G is also better.

N4 has better camera. Moto G camera is acceptable when there is sufficient light; however, it is atrocious under low light condition.

Both are very fast with N4 being slightly faster. It seems Moto G is more suitable to you.

As many developers are working for grand and more roms are pouring in every day.

Umm...i also agree with the point... But some part of me says that we cant move it from low end..

I mean..think abt it this way brothr..they kept it in low end devices , because of its specifications...(hardware limitations)..

Poor broadcomm chipset is the main reason..and so is resolution...so is in mid activities (correct me if i m wrong brother).

I mean..even if we get kitkat,and many amazing kitkat based roms...

I dont think still it makes our device specs powerful right? Still we are having same broadcomm processor...same specs... Just the soul in changed ..(thanks to all devs).

I mean..galaxy s2 is maybe not in low end devices right?(i cud ve wrong, havnt checkd :P..i m 99% sure it isnt)..bcoz it got more performance chipset and its resolution is perfect w.r.t its screen size...(thats why many heavy games are officially supported for it ,while we haven't got that cake piece )..

I really like ur point and even i wud wish this cud happen... But truth to be told...device is not that powerful..(just the soul is :P..kitkat power :p ;)..)..

Sorry if wrong n idiotic me :D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] naufalhadyan:
The power of the device doesn't affect why our forums is in the low activity section... It is just because of that, it has low development activity. I still see LG Optimus Black forums in the main page, not the legacy or low activities, despite its old age (almost 4 years) and low spec for todays standard (1 GHz single core with 512MB RAM). That is because there are lots of people who just can't get rid of using and modifying it.

Now I know that Grand has a large userbase (infact it is one of the best selling phones in some countries) but it doesn't mean that there is a lot of development interest for this device. The vast percentage of the market for Grand is ordinary people who doesn't even know or care about their Android's version number. This is in contrast with the Nexus 5 buyers, for example.

Moreover dual SIM phone = low coverage in western media because no western carrier really wants a dual SIM phone = low popularity in XDA ;)

Hi, please excuse me if I am in the wrong place, as I am new here.

My Galaxy S4 has been doing this for quite a while now. It doesn't display the signal bars anywhere, we have the Sprint AirWave in my home, but I still do not get the full bars that my other family will. I have the stock rom. I changed a few colors in the status bar, but that is all I have done to mess with that up there.

When I have no bars, I can make calls and send texts just fine, like I had full bars. It will display if I have 4G, or 3G, but no bars. It is just annoying, because I don't know if I can make calls, or look up the Pacer's score when I'm on the road.

Once again, I am new to the forum's, and I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong place.

I have called Sprint, and they want me to take it in, but I want to do everything that is in my power before I have to step foot in one of those places.

Thanks for any help!
