[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangrif:
So, i was curious about Paranoid Android. So i decided to give it a try on my N7.

I started with an already unlocked, but otherwise stock N7, 2012, Running the stock KitKat ROM.

I installed TWRP, used an auto-root method which booted an image via fastboot, and rooted. Then I booted back into KitKat, and installed Titanium Backup Pro to back up a few apps I didnt want to lose in the flash.

Then, i booted back to TWRP, and ran a system backup, so I could restore if needed.

Once the backup was done, I installed Paranoid 4.2 beta4, from their paranoidandroid.ca, and gapps from goo.im.

Booted paranoid android well enough, but man, it was sluggish. Really sluggish. It was painful to get my google aco**** logged in and then setup my email accounts. Thats about as far as I got before I decided that this was just not usable, and decided to drop back to my stock rooted backup.

Now, through all of this, I dont have a ton of storage space avaialble. The backup took up 4gb, and its only a 16gb tablet. I had a few hundred mb available after the backup, and install of paranoid.

After restoring my backup, things were still pretty darn slow. I cleaned up a decent amount of space, i have about 1.5gb available now. Its improved, but still sluggish. I'm not ready to delete the twrp backup yet, as i may try paranoid again, or maybe another rom, but I want to get tot he bottom of this speed problem first.

Does android depend on free /sdcard disk space in order to function well? Knowing what I know about linux this seems strange. Or is it that I should have wiped cache/dalvik when I restored my backup? I did wipe both, and /data when I did paranoid.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangrif:
I gave cache and dalvik a wipe, and rebooted. What little performance gains I thought I got earlier from cleaning up the storage, are now gone. Its just as slow as it was again. Sigh. What have I done to my tablet?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojar7070:
Have you tried to do a full wipe of the device and factory reset?? (wipe internal storage included) I've found that this helps greatly with speed and stability on allof my devices. It is a hassle though.....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangrif:
I haven't gone this far yet, because of the hassle. I may do this and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangrif:
Backed up my stuff, reinstalled paranoid, and did a full wipe.

So far, so good, appears to be much faster.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojar7070:
Sounds good bro. Good to hear.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangrif:
Yep. Still not sure why wiping my personal data did the trick, I did wipe all of the app and cache data the first time around...

Oh well, if it works it works, dont complain right? Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi All,

With all the threads about bricked phones, I wanted to take the safer route and outright ask for the best method to upgrade to KitKat on a rooted phone running 4.2.2 stock? I've already 'bricked" my phone once last year doing an OTA update, so I'm trying to avoid doing that again. I know this is a noob question, but I haven't been able to locate a sprint specific guide consolidating all of the information out there. Any help is appreciated.

Or you can use this one to flash zvc tot file straight to phone.

The second post as you read will give information I thought a bit more clear on Sprint.

@#***This will wipe your phone as in complete. Nothing will be left of yours. So copy anything off internal first@#***

Follow the directions, use ioroot25. Root.

If you want custom recovery.

Use auto-rec from above thread. Thank cloudyfa for putting that together.

If you reboot after and screen shuts off and you get white lines.

You might a well tot back to zvc and just root. [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] on that same thread is working out the details to fix.

Thank you for the reply. I'll give this a shot tonight!
[Sprint LG G2] Coop1979:
I have a question: I already screwed up and applied the KitKat update to my rooted G2 without thinking. It's now stuck booting to TWRP, where I was a moron and of course didn't create a backup at any point. Is there a way for me to sideload the ROM onto my phone at this point?

Any ideas?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Even sideload may not help you, if you can access down load mode. You might get to use tot, back to stock.

But there is no stock zvc yet for ls980.
[Sprint LG G2] Coop1979:
Thank you for that suggestion. I was able to use Download Mode to fix my G2 and then OTA the KitKat update. Your post saved my phone.
[Sprint LG G2] uniquenameevo:
I must have gotten lucky...wasn't thinking and took the OTA a while ago. Lost root but phone is fine.

Now...I'm off to find it again so I can get tether working :)
[Sprint LG G2] esoh:
To the OP, can I ask which method you chose and how it went? I need to do this as well and I'm in the same boat as you (rooted ZVA with custom recovery).

Thanks.

[Sprint LG G2] thadeus_d3:
I actually read a bit more and decided to hold off on the update. I'm happy with my phone's performance, so I really don't have the time to troubleshoot should the update go awry.
[Sprint LG G2] esoh:
I'm the same way, but I figured that I should just go ahead.

So I'll throw that out, anyone pick one of these methods have a preference? I'm on TWRP, rooted, stock ZVA. Some mods including tether and camera. Thanks.

Just waiting for my TyTN to arrive in another week, and then I should be free and clear to send this rig on its way to a happy new owner...

It's an unlocked, Cingular-branded, Siemens SX66. The phone is in perfect working order. It is running the latest legal roms from the SX66 Standardization Project (WM2003). If you want to put WM5 on it after you buy it, that's up to you...

It has some VERY MINOR wear-and-tear type marks which come from being my primary device for so long.

Also included are two standard BA batteries (1490 mAh) and two standard cradles. Finally, I'll throw in a Boxwave mini-sync cable and a SanDisk 1 GB SD card to round out the kit.

Payments would be via PayPal. By default, shipping will be by 3-day UPS Ground in the US. If the buyer would prefer personal exchange, I'm in the Boston area.

If interested drop me a PM...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] goestoeleven:
My TyTN has arrived... I'm fully migrated and ready to ship.

Just for clarity sake, here's an update list of everything in the kit:

- Siemens SX66 main unit

- Stock Stylus (2)

- Stock battery (2)

- Stock cradle and power supply (2)

- Stock carrying case

- Stock dongle connector

- Sandisk 1GB SD card

- Boxwave mini-USB sync cable

There's got to be some reader of this forum that could use a device in very good shape!

Just let me know (I'd rather sell it here and give a reader a good deal than slugging it out on eBay).

How much do you use, and for what do you use the stylus for?

I like having it, it's cool to show off. When I'm not at home I have my phone pin locked so unlocking the phone, pulling the stylus out and then activating whatever I want to use it for is to many steps.

I've tried! I've taken musician numbers, I tried to make a scrap book of stuff I wanted to go shopping for. As a whole, most of those neat things Samsung through it I have no use for. Multi-Window seems one step to much, s-pen window as well.

I thought the stylus would be great for playing retro dos games. Or even games like Shadowrun Returns, the stylus is a "mouse" and Shadowrun Returns does not support other input devices. I installed Fallout and the stylus as mouse didn't work the way I had hoped it would. Where you tap the screen and that's where you click.

To answer my question, I don't use it.

You?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Yep, I use it all the time. I use it in multi Window, s note, action memo. I use it for work taking notes, I use it for the shortcuts it gives instead of the cut and paste things. Instead I just tap drag and drop. It's so useful. Hell, I really don't even use pen and paper much anymore unless it's for signing stuff and at work I get stuff I have to sign of for sent down from a different floor, I sign it and send it back to them. No more having people run around to get things approved.

I got this phone to help teach myself to draw, two months later I can do a pretty good drawing of any cute lady on a bar napkin! Why would someone have this phone but not use the pen? You're paying a premium for that unique feature...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
The premium was the size of the screen to me, not the pen. that was like extra. I use it occasionally, but mostly for making notations on screen captures. My hand writing is pretty bad and the pen does not help that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BableMan:
But at release there were bigger/same size screens for less money...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
The screen size made me get this phone too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sardonik:
I purchased the Note 3 for the large high quality screen, the Snapdragon 800 processor, 3gb of RAM, SDcard and removable battery. I viewed the Spen as a bonus which, as it turns out, I almost never use for anything other than occasionally marking up photos.

I disagree that it's pointless to buy the N3 and not use the pen. At the time of purchase (Dec 2013), I wasn't aware of any other device that combined all of those specs into one package. At least, not that supported LTE on major carriers here in the US. The Z Ultra came close but was about the same price, and I really wanted that 3gb of RAM. Plus, after reading reviews, I was concerned that the Z ultra wasn't actually pocketable with normal clothing.

It comes in handy

I like to use it when I'm creating quick contact information or when I need to take a screenshot and edit (circle, whatever) the picture before sending it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
I use the pen more often than I thought I would. It has some really nifty features, such as pen hover gives some extra detail in some places, and action memo is fantastic. I thought I'd never use the pen when I first bought the device, but I really do like it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eudemonics:
i do, and i have the note 10.1 GT-N8013 as well, which is cross-compatible stylus-wise. :) in fact, the stylus is most likely what sold me on the phone since i'm probably still nostalgic for my HTC tilt and tilt2. hehe.

i generally feel more comfortable using the stylus with handwriting input than using swype or pecking at the keyboard.. i use it for taking screenshots by pressing the button on the side, too. and for drawing/image editing. and scrolling by pointing it towards the edges, and doing hover functions that a touchscreen normally doesn't recognize...

i have kali linux installed as an image file on my external storage (on the N8013, though i want to install it on the N900T as well), so when i VNC into my kali desktop environment i essentially can use it as a mouse with the air hover..

and i love how it can tell the difference between the stylus and your hand, since i'm a lefty. so i can write comfortably with it and it won't show up as just gibberish from palm rest dragging across.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosedog:
I use my stylus every scheduling meeting at work, when ever I need to take notes or when ever I get an itch in my ear. /truestory
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] superdookie67:
I have been thinking about the S pen recently. I actually don't think I use the stylus much at all, or the multiwindow feature. With a rooted phone I can bring my password app up in a window, and that's about it.

Digital notes and handwriting is done on my tablet instead. I use Google apps over Samsung apps (like Gmail and chrome) So I can't hover over icons with my spen for email previews or details on icons. Most apps feel cramped to me when having two windows up. I can usually type out a quick note with SwiftKey faster than I can write neatly enough to read later.

To me it seems more like a mental thing more than anything else. I like being able to hover over tabs on websites and have my S pen act like a mouse, and I like the occasional screen write. But in practice I think I've realized I just don't use the Samsung features much. Maybe I should try a non-tw rom.

[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Hey guys I have a quick question.

I am about to buy a 64GB microSD card for my Xperia M and I was wondering if anyone knows what are the partition format types the

stock kernel supports. I have the impression that it only supports FAT32, which is kind of a bummer but not a deal breaker for me, but I might be wrong. Also things might have changed with the 4.3 update (which i haven't applied yet because of all the negative comments I read about it).

I have found through personal experience with past devices that as long as the card is formatted correctly the phone will be able to use it despite

the specifications saying otherwise. I have no interest in unlocking my bootloader in order to flash a custom kernel.

Share your knowledge please!

64 gig sd cards don't work on Xperia m
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Well if you look at this thread i found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2505383 or any thread about this type of thing on most phones the general consensus is that they do, if formatted in a way that the device recognizes. My question is if the Xperia m only supports FAT32 or if perhaps something has changed with the 4.3 update.
[Sony Xperia M] spknair:
No 64GB support (exFAT) news in sony websites or their forums.:crying::crying::crying:

So we have to format it to FAT32.

I have been using 64GB card from the first day of usage.

You could format it to FAT32 from your device itself.

At-least we could get more storage space, right? :):):):):):)

I have 2 64GB cards.

SanDISK & Verbatim

Both are UHS1 Class 10 cards.

Actually both had FAT32 file system, when I purchased those
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Thank you spknair!

I guess I will have to format it in FAT32, which is no big deal, I just wanted to know if there were any other options.
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Stock kernel has support for FAT32 and ext2/3/4. Any USB disk or SD Card of any size will work as long as it have one of those filesystems. Also, you may take a look in ext2 if you want to carry files bigger than 4GB in SD Card. However, the card will be readable only in the phone and in Linux OSes...

My cpu is behaving wierd lately.....in normal operation , its almost always above 50 degrees ...and when heavy use comes, temps rise rapidly to over 60 degrees , when kernel starts to throttle and phone's frequency start to drop and then it lags like crazy ....when at idle its in range 40-45 degrees.....when in deep sleep, its in range 38-40.....i ve tried all major kernels ....i ve a very high UnderVolt....i even tried stock table .....i use phone at 1 Ghz ....tried both stock and kitkat .....The phone is painfully hot in hands ....i cant seem to fix this ??

You say, that you use it at 1GHz but this screen says that phone runned at 1.3 GHz. Yesterday I was playing Bad Piggies at 1GHz on stock and phone got very hot. (I have got plastic cover and thru it burned)

On sony support center is topic about temp http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-L/high-Battery-temperatures/td-p/363016 you can try to switch off network connection. Theres written that your idle and deepsleep temps are "in normal". And when you stress your cores that might get hotter than it's nice.

I try overclocking ...fine....but even when using 1 ghz , its hot...so 60 degrees is fine ?? Whats the max safe temp ???

[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
I don't know what max temp is ideal.. is it bad even on stock kernel and ROM with locked bootloader? Coz on my phone none of custom software doesn't work propertly. That's why stock is the best for me. You can try stock and you'll see if things get better ;)
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
I have flashed phantom kernel v7 and Stock ROM.

When my phone is ideal temp is 38 c .

Regarding your screen shot I guess you should turn-off MP-decision using trickster mod and lock freq at 1 GHz.

If you have locked freq and MP-decision is on it may override default settings.

I guess this should work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battousai1:
Hi guys! I have been reading through the post and searching for possible solution to my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 problem but I cant find any solutions. Here is the story:

I have flashed the GT-P1000 tab with clockworkmod version 6 (i am not sure the exact version) using Odin.

Now after flashing the recovery, I have successfully installed Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build) and everything was successful and everything is great.

A friend of mine borrowed the tab and he put a pattern to lock the phone, instead of asking him what is the pattern I just decided to wipe the tab again to make a clean install. So what I did was I went to recovery and selected "format /system" which I shouldn't have, then after rebooting it is not booting up to Cyanogen anymore, so what i did was I just wiped everything (format /data, cache and factory reset)

Now this is the weird part, the devices has kept on booting up to clockwork recovery and it says the device is not yet rooted, it is asking me if it is ok to root it, I always selected yes

After another boot up, the clockwork recovery is now version 3.0.0.5??? it is really weird? I never installed any clockwork mod with a lower version... How did that happen?

Now whenever I try to install from sd card or restore it or mount it nothing happens, it just says:

E:Can't mount

E:unknown volume

E:unable process volume! skipping

I tried to flash the recovery again using Odin many times but still the clockwork mod is stuck in version 3.0.0.5.

Right now, I am not sure if my understanding of the entire system is correct:

1. Should I install a new recovery, if yes, how and why is it whenever I am installing it again it is not being installed, it gets stuck to version 3.0.0.5?

2. Are there any other recovery I should use and how should I install it? is it the same as using the Odin?

3. Is there a way to install the original recovery of this tab and then from there I will start over again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeetherocker:
[MENTION=5824460]Battousai1[/MENTION]

1. & 2. Find an Odin flashable recovery for p1000... Go to download mode and flash it with Odin...

After doing that you shouldn't have the problem anymore...

3. To install the original recovery find the stock rom which is again Odin flashable ... Flash it and you'll have the stock recovery...
