[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
A clean install of DSC 2.3 or Traveller DSC 2.4.4 will get everything working properly. Naturally, I recommend Traveller DSC, because it uses Traveller ICS by default and also has a fix or two included in it that can only be added to DSC via a patch.

If you don't want adblocking or dns changes but only crossbreeder for reduce lag.. here you go! Using it with allaince w/stock kernel.. works great!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Thanks for testing this! Crossbreeder is amazing, glad to see its working well for you. Looking forward to running it when I update to 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Is there somewhere to get more info on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
The op of the thread does a pretty good job.

Crossbreeder is a random entropy generator that takes available "entropy" caused by normal system processes and puts it into a type of pool. This energy is normally wasted and isn't collected. Think of it as an energy pool where you can take energy from when needed. Easy examples of what this speeds up is the launcher, opening up any app requiring Internet (ie: tapatalk and browser). It won't actually speed up your Internet connection but will cut the querying time down significantly.

This mod doesn't include frandom implementation that is responsible for the adblocking nature of crossbreeder. If you use adaway or adblock this isn't really needed. Plus the implementation of it tends to break some processes such as Google wallet from functioning.

Is this what you were looking for?

Edit: I think I mixed something up somewhere, maybe frandom is still there, but whatever module that is responsible for ad blocking is taken out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] howellcp:
I don't know how helpful this mod is but it tripled my entropy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I notice significant difference in speed of pretty much everything, at least on 4.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] howellcp:
I'm on 4.3. It has helped with my music stopping for a sec as I open the lock screen. I like it for that reason alone.

Edit: now that I'm using the phone more I can tell a huge difference. This mod is making the phone smoking fast.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] exxi:
Unfortunately I have to announce that Overclocking your device WILL cause damage to your device.

In my case:

I have a dopod 818 (prophet, XDA). I overclocked the device to 216 MHZ continiously. The overclocking sets on when the device is on while it is in standby it switches back to normal clock (180 MHZ). Here is the deal.

I noticed that if I clock my device back to factory speed (180) or deregister the program omap clock from my system the device makes a ultra high Frequency noise that sounds like an old TV. More like a tinnitus fine beep noise. The noise is continious and very disturbing while making calls or in quite environment. The strange thing about it is that when I overclock the device back to 216 the noise disappears. Now i am VERY suspicious that the overclocking somehow affected the processor that it cannot take 180 default speed without making this noise anymore.

I would just like to warn anyone from overclocking because it might cause this type of annoyance. If you know why this happened and how to fix it, please, feel free to be of aid.

Thank you !

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] detonation:
Noticed in battery settings that my Wifi turns on and off frequently even when my device is sleeping. Doesn't seem to be affecting battery life but I'm wondering why it does this. It happens on both my Nexus 7 (stock rooted) and my Nook HD+ (CM11). I do have the "always scan for networks" settings off.

Attached screenshot is after I didn't really use my Nexus 7 for about a week.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JustROLLIN:
I would imagine this is caused by certain apps requesting data. For example, your Gmail app may be set to refresh every one hour, which means it needs to use the WiFi to search for new data and download it, if needed. Other apps are similar to that as well, depending on your settings.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
If it really miffs you, you can always use tasker and create a task that shuts the wifi (I have it put it in airplane mode since it does several things in one shot) off when the display goes off and back on when display comes back on...will need to be rooted.

Have you ever wondered what apps you have installed and don't even use? Or just curious which applications you use the most on your device? Say hello to Aptrax!

Aptrax runs in the background and monitors what apps you use and how long you use them for. You can also check how many times you have opened each app. Through its holo themed interface you can then uninstall the apps which you do not use. Aptrax is very light on memory usage and has no battery drain, even when set to high frequency tracking.

Features

★ Track how long you use each of your apps

★ See the number of times you launched each app

★ Easily uninstall unused apps

★ No battery drain (even on high frequency tracking)

★ Very low memory usage

★ Holo themed interface

★ Starts automatically when you turn on your device

★ Completely free, no adverts or in-app purchases

Feedback is very appreciated :D

Thanks, now i can check how much time i killing on social networks :)

By the way, can you add a feature of grouping apps in reports? Like games, social networks, messengers?
[Android Apps and Games] Bluehacks:
Aweome idea..will try
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Thank you for the feedback! That's a very good idea indeed, I will keep it in mind for the following updates. This weekend I will be releasing an update which allows you to remove the notification bar icon, together with some other small additions.

Thanks, looking forward for some feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
New version

I have just released v1.1. The update contains the following changes:

- Added the option to disable the ongoing notification

- Refreshing app usage data when opening the app

- No longer tracking itself

- Fixed an issue which was causing the service to start even when it was set to disabled

- New app icon﻿

Check it out and leave feedback please :D
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
[MENTION=3776883]Mendrake[/MENTION] very nice app! i would like to see some features like usage & time count for system apps (which has a GUI & Launchable like camera,gallery,clock etc.) , auto reset the usage & time count after 24 hours & a list of usage & time count for one week seperately for each day per app when clicking the app.

thank you for making such a sleek app! i love it & also thank you for making it free! keep up the good work! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Thanks a lot for the feedback killoid!

The tracking of system apps is the feature I'm focusing on at the moment and will try and release it this week. Also the filtering of statistics by daily/weekly/monthly is something I intend to do right after since it would be very useful! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
well,looking forward to the updates. :)
[Android Apps and Games] FerretAD:

[Android Apps and Games] de Wolfe:
Good concept. But it isn't showing my time spent in FB Messenger while using it in Chathead-mode. And also it's not showing times spent in Chrome/Google Now.
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Yeah Facebook Chat Heads cannot be tracked by Aptrax. This is because Aptrax is only able to track foreground apps, while Facebook Chat Heads is more of an overlay over another foreground app.

Regarding Chome and Now, they are not being tracked because they are System apps, and at the moment I'm only tracking User apps. Will be fixing this issue in v1.2 though, you can expect it very soon.

Thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] Andre_Vitto:
Awesome.. Nice concept.. Clean ui...
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Version 1.2

v1.2 is now out, it includes these changes:

- App usage now shows usage data of system apps such as Messaging and Browser

- Added an option in the settings menu to hide system apps

- Added an option in the settings menu to reset all the data collected

The app is now also ranked as number 10 and 12 in Netherlands and Germany respectively, under the Top New Free Tools section.

Thank you all for trying it out and providing feedback! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Version 1.2.1

v1.2.1 includes the following minor change:

- Redesigned & updated the credits screen

I'm currently in the process of adding more features to this app based on the feedback I've collected.

If you have good ideas you would like to see included, feel free to reply here or message me :highfive:

how about including an option to warn saying 'you are using this app too much' on user specified usage count?
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
[MENTION=3776883]Mendrake[/MENTION] thanks for a great app.

Actually I've been looking for something like this. I just have one feature request.

It would be awesome if you could backup a list of installed apps and maybe save it in the cloud or email it. This could come in handy when flashing new roms or changing devices.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] stiven68:
Good and useful app, but in my opinion there are too many wakelocks that prevent deep sleep: about 1 every 10 seconds with low tracking frequency.

Could it be possible to improve it?

Inviato dal mio Xperia Sola utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Mendrake:
Hey stiven, glad to see you like the app. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a device can only go into deep sleep when the screen is turned off right? If that is the case, Aptrax does not prevent deep sleep, because its service gets stopped on screen off, and starts again when the screen is turned back on.

When testing the application I made sure that it never caused any form of wake locks on the several devices I tested it on, and monitored it through Wakelock Detector. It never showed any sign of wake locks or battery drain.

That's a very good idea [MENTION=4420265]pemell[/MENTION] and should be fairly easy to implement it. Thanks for suggesting it!

That's one good way to let someone know they are wasting too much of their time on apps!

Sounds like it would be a useful feature to have, I've taken note of it. Thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=5107949]killoid[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot for the feedback! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] wilflare:
thanks [MENTION=3776883]Mendrake[/MENTION] for this awesome app!

Just some requests

(1) Dark Theme/Black Theme

Can we please have this added in the next update? It would be so much easier on the eyes (and better on the OLED screens)

(2) Feedback from XDA feature

I am actually thinking between this or Frequency (also featured on XDA)

As this app talks about better memory usage and etc... hope you can consider the feedback from XDA

Hope you can include those filters (:

This would really help me decide what apps to freeze/uninstall or delete.
[Android Apps and Games] stiven68:
You are right: checking the situation with Better Battery Stats, Aptrax causes alarms but not during screen off, so it doesn't prevent deep sleep.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzurA86:
i know there are serious problems happening when downgrading from 4.3

it happened to me a week ago on my i9500

i flash MIUI V5 and lost my imei , had to send it to a friend which fixed it in his lab

im not giving up though, i really like and used to MIUI and still want it, the question is how to avoid that from happening again, what did i do wrong ?

and worst case scenario it happens again, what should i backup exactly ?

ive installed andromizer and backed up my EFS , does this backup include both my IMEI and SN ? should i do anything else before trying again ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidcore:
I think it's a matter baseband

Stock-based MIUI rom touchwiz 4.2.2

And you are of 4.3,

Already trying to restore a EFS backup?

Note: sorry if im wrong :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzurA86:
Baseband=modem?

Anyway i tried flashing miui, couple of versions of it, and ended up with the same results

No outgoing calls when on miui, incoming ok, sms, internet, just no outgoing

Imei and sn are intact, things got back to normal only when i flash stock 4.3 rom

I want miui :-\ what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
There is no turning back. :P Install the MI launcher instead or any MIUI theme for launchers.

P.S. I have tried MIUI. Good but not as good as what they say.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzurA86:
thats weird, i ran into some people running 4.2 on their i9500

not MIUI but other versions which worked perfectly

youre telling me im stuck with 4.3 and newer ?

edit :

what about this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658809

can i just pull the baseband from the stock rom and flash it on my phone once i have miui ?

would that work ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
No, you're not stuck. I've been using MIUI v5 and stock 4.3 back and forth testing which one is better. Personally, i like the interface of MIUI especially the icons BUT there's so much jitter and random reboots every now and then. Wait for the Kitkat release of MIUI.

Why would you change the baseband? o.o
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzurA86:
as i mentioned, when flashing miui v5 i cannot make any outgoing calls

i get NOT ALLOWED BY SIM error everytime

i can get calls and send sms but no outgoing

which modem are you on when on miui ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:

New ballistic case for the nexus 5

Full transparent case with the famous Ballistic corners

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qINSwLI4vY0
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tmagritte:
I had a similar (but opaque) ballistic case for my S3 that I really liked. Does anyone have this case a know if:

- it's compatible with Qi charging?

- it's compatible with any tempered glass screen protector?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
I have the clear version of this case. It absolutely does not interfere with qi charging. It does cause bubbles at the corners of my Spigen glas.tr nano, but I was able to solve this by shaving away a very small amount of material at the inside lip of the corners of the case with a sharp pocket knife.

This is my daily case and my favorite case that I own. I also own the SG maxx (renamed the tough jacket Maxx), the Spigen slim armor, Spigen neo hybrid, tudia wave, and the ringke fusion. By far, the jewel is the best of these cases - it feels best of all the cases above: very soft touch, smooth and grippy at the same time; the button feel is by far the nicest and most responsive.

I have heard that many clear tpu cases tend to take on a yellow tint over time, and with exposure to sunlight. I have had my jewel for about 3 months, and it has not gone yellow at all, and I often keep it mounted in my qi car mount attached to my windshield, so it is exposed to plenty of sunlight. Maybe they are using better quality tpu than other manufacturers, or maybe it is not tpu at all. I just assume that it is, although there is no mention of the material on the web site.

This is also a very protective case. The only way to get more impact protection is to use a multi layer silicone/polycarbinate case, like the SG Maxx, Trident aegis or seidio convert. I definitely think it is more protective than the Spigen, ringke and tudia cases. I have intentionally dropped the phone from 7 feet +, and thrown it against walls, without causing the slightest damage.

Finally, the thing just looks fantastic. It makes my nexus look like it is encased in clear crystal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ijkl:
Is the back frosted on the inside? Or is it perfectly clear? I'm looking for a good car for a red nexus that won't make it look pink... Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
It is not frosted, but it does have a grid of dimples covering the whole back, that gives it visual depth. I'd guess that it would look pretty slick with a red nexus 5. These dimples are on the inside of the case, so they don't cause tactile bumps, the whole vase is very smooth.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Huey85:
sorry but that is one fugly looking case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pingvin69:
Great reply! :cool:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
There is no accounting for taste.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tmagritte:
How does this case compare to the Urbanite case in terms of size/bulk? I'd prefer an opaque case but not at the cost of too much extra bulk.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
Less bulky. The jewel is a single piece tpu case, the urbanite is a two layer case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chris6278:
I absolutely agree. That case is hideous!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pingvin69:
Maybe but i have to say I like this case more than the trident aiges and the ballistic maxx...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tmagritte:
My case just arrived and it does cause bubbles at the corners of my Spigen glas-t nano. What exactly did you shave off? Any chance of getting some photos?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] angied:
I got the Diztronic, and I love it because you hardly notice it's on. People have said it's very protective, but it doesn't look like it, so I'm a little nervous. I saw the Ballistic Jewel, and what I like is that it doesn't look too bulky...except for the corners. I'm not sure how I feel about the clear, if I get it, I might have to go with the turquoise.

Does this case look better in person?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] x111:
Do we have this case in matte black color, transparent seems awful ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] edisepic:
anyone else who has the clear version notice that its very purplish/blueish at times in different light
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tmagritte:
Yes, I've noticed that but only in some lighting conditions. I'm hoping it means the plastic formulated to prevent yellowing over time.

I've also noticed that despite ample room around the LED flash when it's turned out the base lights up. I guess that LED has quite a wide angle. When there is light behind the phone it tends to light up the frame, which is a little annoying. I'd love a hybrid version of this case with opaque black or white around the frame and a clear back, or even all opaque.

I'm rather liking this case. I was able to shave away the corners as suggested to make it fit with my spigen glass screen protector and overall it worked okay without too much visible damage due to my clumsiness...

What I have noticed, though, is the temperature of the phone (both by feel and battery temperature sensor) seems to be rather high. This is especially true when using a Qi charger. Even after the charge is finished when it should just be using occasional maintenance charging it temperature remains above 30 deg C. I'm a little worried this will affect the longevity of the battery.

Has anyone else noticed their phone warmer with this case than other cases? I'm wondering if it's too heat insulating. I'm kind of thinking about cutting out the whole back of the case and turning it into a true bumper but I have a feeling I'll completely ruin it in the attempt...

I love this case to and hope that it's blue tint is to prevent the yellow lol. I saw the video in the op and I was like this thing is ugly but those thick bumpers are great and the TPU is extremely premium and solid. and that's comparing it to the spigen slim armor, ultra hybrid, cruzerlite, and a generic eBay TPU which I have. the case does get warm on my cheap qi charger. but I have a lot of cases and it's the same thing with all of them. the case is low priced and the look actually grows on you and feels like it could take more of a beating then all the cases I named
