[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtogaz:
Hi Gino.mee,

I had already done that but there was still Chinese characters on aps, in menus, welcome screen etc. The ROM was actually password locked which to be honest I didn't see much point in doing that unless there's something we ain't meant to see. Regardless the only thing in my opinion that lets it down is the Chinese in menus etc. I stumbled accross this tool by pure chance and it has been of great help. I can now decompile and either remove the strings etc or just replace with English by using Google translate.

To be honest I don't see the point in anyone uploading a ROM for people to use share etc when the system files and boot image have been locked by password. More so when the essence of freedom and choice are retricted which is what we all want in one way or another or we wouldn't be here. Anyway thanks for your reply and taking time to read my post. No doubt I shall likely encounter more issues but sod it, only way to learn about Android is to tackle it.

Cheers,

Gaz

Hi all,

hope you can help me with this one...

I came from Beanstalk 4.4.240, rooted it way back, everything worked fine.

Now I wanted to get back to stock 2.3.6.... First I tried Heimdall, but its not detecting the phone, although Windows does (Sound at USB connection).

Therefore I switched to Odin as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613523

I used the Option A, adhered to all the rules (including step 4 of wiping cache and data).

Odin flashed successfully.

After reboot though I get the following error in the red recovery mode (after the update package installed successfully):

"e: format_volume: rfs format failed on dev-block-stl10"

"wipe cache not successful"

I then did the cache wipe manually, and it does it successfully.

Upon rebooting though its stuck on the ATT logo loop...

When I then go into recovery mode, the following message appears:

"e:copy_dbdata_media: cant mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for fomrat and reboot actions

Media files copy failed.

#Manual Mode#

...

Successfully applied multi-CSC"

Any ideas what to do here? I'm thinking it could be a partitioning problem...

I just want to make sure I flash the correct thing to fix this...

Oh and currently I moved on to Option B of the odin pack from above in the hope it could fix it - flash is successful, but error messages are completly the same...

Any help is highly appreciated!!!

Hi XDA, long time lurker/fan, but i am newly registered user. (so i cant post to the developer forums yet :( )

I am working on a capstone project for school, what i need is to be able to take WiFi scans (no need to connect, only scan available network BSSID and signal Levels) quickly.

Currently, the Android API takes up to 5 seconds for a scan. Is there something i can do to improve my scan rate??

ANY, and i mean ANY! advice, ideas, or suggestion are welcome...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelonesoldier:
So, Polaris Office came with my ATT HTC One. It is listed in the "all" tab of "Apps" in the Settings menu, but it does not show up in the app drawer and does not come up in searches. The only way I can start it is by downloading an office document and selecting Polaris in the "Open with" dialog.

I've never seen behavior like this from a real application before. On my other devices, Polaris Office has a standard desktop and app drawer shortcut. It's easily my favorite office suite that I've tried, so I'd like to be able to launch it normally on my One. What gives? :confused:

I have the KitKat update from HTC installed, but iirc this problem has always existed on this phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttcheng:
Install Polaris Office from APK on phone

I had the same problem--knew it was there but couldn't find the app icon. I searched for "polaris" on my M8, found the /system/priv-app/PolarisOffice.apk, then installed it (after allowing installation of apps from unknown sources). Now it looks and works like a normal app. :good:

bootanimation problem

Gotta feeling I'll get help here so I'll post here.

So I'm running HTC m8 stock rooted verRom 2.23.502.3.

Xposed installed with sense 6 toolbox and HTC tweaker.

Trying to change boot animation but not working after trying methods suggested on xda post.

What I ended up doing was using esfile explorer and set root access went into /system/customize/resources and renamed the boot animation file to att_bootanimation.zip from att_boot up_one.zip. just wanted to see what would happen. Afterwards, I rebooted and the att boot animation changed to a quiet black screen with a flashing "android" in center. Unexpected but I prefer it over the original. But I'd still like to change it to a cooler customized one. But the various zip file I try to install in /resource place doesn't stick. So any suggestions????

Also I have busybox installed with softkeyz app. Just in case this rings a bell for anyone reading this.

Any clues would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm new here.

I tried using CPUZ to check my phone stats.

It keeps on show my battery voltage as 3mv or 4mv.

Is it normal? or I have to do something?

My phone info

Phone model: E988

Rooted: Beanstalk ROM 09-Apr-2014

Actions made

1) Tried battery calibration, but it still shows 3mv or 4mv

2) Did a search, but can't find any thing that works
[LG Optimus G Pro] kimmyson:
Anyone? :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Battery calibration doesn't help. Those apps were designed mainly for Android emulators on PC. Only time I ever got it to actually do something was on my old Atrix G and it actually threw my phone way off sync with the battery.

CPUZ probably isn't showing the actual voltage of the battery and is just using whatever it's showing as a placeholder. Android Tuner should work.

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] kimmyson:
Cool, Android Tuner works, showing me the correct voltage :)

Thank you very much

Now I'm wondering why won't it show the same on other apps.

Would this affect the time needed to charge my battery? :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
On Kit Kat, an app needs root permissions to fully display battery stats. Not sure if CPUZ has a root option.

Shouldn't affect charging speeds.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Ph33zy:
THESE FILES WERE MADE FOR A REALLY OLD BASE (4.4.2). Do NOT FLASH THE FILE FOR ANY OTHER VERSION OF ANDROID SINCE IT CONTAINS AN OLDER VERSION OF default.xml. I'm leaving them attach for reference if anyone wants to manually make the edits on the latest and greatest version of their ROM. I also did not come with this mod, but ported it over from the source link below. If 4G is not working, then there is a problem with init.d in your ROM. Download and install script manager to manually run the script, as mentioned in the instructions below.

So, I finally got native hotspot working on the M8 by following the guide in the M7 thread posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2474432

This mod requires you to have root access and an init.d capable kernel. Alternatively, you can download script manager and have it run at boot or modify your install-recovery.sh file located in /system/etc.

This is confirmed working for both 3G and 4G connections.

Step 1) Flash attached zip file.

If 4G Hotspot doesn't work do the following:

Optional Alternate Method #1 after installing zip file to use with Script Manager

Step 1) Download Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager

Step 2) Open up Script Manager and navigate to /system/etc/init.d and select the "tether" script.

Step 3) Click on SU and Boot (Android Skull and Gear Icons, respectively) and click on run and save.

Optional Alternate Method #2 after installing zip file to edit your install-recovery.sh

Modify your install-recovery.sh referenced in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51796802&postcount=21

For a very long time, HTC phones don't tether 4g data using the hacked native Hotspot. Even back in the OG Evo, WiMax days. Somehow, it seems like HTC/Sprint still has a lock on that.

I'm not saying that it is impossible, but [MENTION=283597]Ph33zy[/MENTION], don't think that you're doing something wrong. That's just the way it is.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Ph33zy:
Yea I remember, but 4g definitely worked on the m7 so hopefully there is a way.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ahecht:
Those values are already present in the stock default.xml

So you added 10,16, and 23 to the top list and 25 to the bottom list. Is there a reason you removed 20 and 26 from the top list?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Ph33zy:
Yea, I knew some of them were default, but forgot what I changed since I was already in bed. The easiest thing to do at the time was search for "tether" and post all the lines.

Didn't mean to remove those as I think they correspond to NFC and Sync All. I was trying to get rid of finger scanner, which I accidentally added, but I guess I deleted the wrong one. I should've deleted 23.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] begimaad:
I have a SM N900 Exynos running android 4.4.2 factory non rooted device.

I have bought it from an authorised samsung dealer not even 3 months ago.

I have noticed the phone freezing under load, like i had 4 downloads open on UC browser each of 200mb and was listening to songs via earphones on the native music player also had musixmatch open. At this stage my phone became very hard to control kept on lagging to a great extent till the point i pulled down the notification bar and system ui stopped responding and screen went off and only the capacitive keys were lighting upon touch, no haptic feedback. I had to restart my phone.

I have noticed this a lot whenever i have a lot of things going on, well this is an octacore device with 3gb ram. This shouldnt happen ever. It should be responsive all the time.

Also if i open a few number of apps and press the home button to go back to the main screen, the phone starts lagging. Shouldnt the memory management be good like the phone closes the unused applications by itself whenever ram is low instead of me going to recent apps and clearing some of them to regain performance.

Anyways i have some 128 apps in appdrawer including the system apps if thats any help.

Thanks in advance any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been dissappointed? No reply? No help from the community?:confused::(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
The device comes with 3GB of RAM not all available to the user. First of all you have an Exynos device so you have 2.7gb RAM. I believe that they opted for a bigger RAM choice for the system to handle itself excluding user input.

So essentially you have half of the RAM to use for your other applications (1.35gb).

Anyways, have you tried clearing tasks in Task Manager? Stopped junk apps from wasting start up memory? If you have, then you really should reflash stock or Factory wipe, in order to see which apps you reinstall to prevent unnecessary slowdowns.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkshaft:
Are you using power saving mode while multitasking?? if yes then turn it off and try again, another tip is that phone are like mini laptops without fans they need to rest from time to time, so try to restart the phone or shut it off for few min, then test again, good luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Yeah you should check for this too ^^ (sorry not trying to tell the quoter but I have more to say)

I have over 650 applications installed (including system) and have no problem with lag, I even have Hyper fluency enabled on my launcher which makes it use double the amount of recommended RAM to make it look and feel better. No lag.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] begimaad:
My phone runs good without lag, but after opening a good number of apps it slows down. Then i have to manually open multitasking(holding the home button) and swipe away a few apps. Shouldnt the phone automatically exit some apps when running low on ram?

Well as far as i know no one exits apps after using them, after they are done using a app nearly everyone uses the home button instead of exiting the app.

And no, no powersaving mode is enabled.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacqueline robert:
Just last month, a friend of mine had a problem similar to this: the phone responds to button press but there is specific period of time that the screen won’t respond. We ended up replacing the digitizer. It is a piece of glass on top of the display panel that conducts touch commands. Digitizers come with their respective circuits that when messed up, some, if not all, screen functions won’t work. But it seems that your problem is not the digitizer, so try booting to Safe Mode and observe the phone’s performance while in there.

If the screen still freezes randomly, some of the core functions may be causing the problem and there’s no other option but to perform factory reset but first, back up all your data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] begimaad:
Since i bought the phone in around 4 months the phone has frozen under extreme load only twice. Would you still recommend a a factory reset?

I observed that if a lot of apps are running in the background and phone starts lagging, I just swipe away a few apps from the multitasking area and everything works fine thereafter.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] justsomedude23:
So I rooted my Optimus G and installed the CM 10.2 rom awhile back and was loving it. My GPS wasn't working, but I heard that by using LGNPST I can revert back to stock and then save the EFS and then use another restore to go to a rom with the GPS working. I put it off, and then tried to update to CM 11, but wasn't a big fan so I tried to go to use my 10.2 restore. Problem is I lost my LTE connectivity in an area that would always have 4g, and constantly have a com.android.phone error popping up every 3 seconds so going back to stock seems like the best idea.

To try and fix that I try and get LGNPST working, but at first the dll didn't work. So I registered it and try and use it with a Zv7 bin (not exactly sure what bin would be the best to get my optimus g back to stock) but I keep getting an error saying "Failed to load Model DLL". Then another box pops up saying:

"Process: upgrade_masterbin

SubProc: Masterbin Download

Cause: Cannot found MiniDP DLL"

I'm not really sure what to do next since looking for this hasn't yielded the most information for me. Sorry if this problem is easily fixable/has been solved in the forums, but i didn't find a whole lot that would help. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
