[Motorola Droid RAZR] imucarmen:
So I had an LG G2 since it came out and recently broke it and now i'm being forced to use this phone and I must say, It's killing me! This phone is so slow and laggy...so my question is what rom runs the smoothest and fastest? I've tried carbon and liquid smooth 4.4 but both of those seem to run slow and laggy. Stock seemed to run decent on this phone so I was wondering what rom runs the best? the only thing I have to have is tethering...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshua3001:
I will recommend you (from personal experience) Paranoid 4.2 beta 4 with PA Gapps Stock, it runs very stable and fast, and you will have total Google experience .....you can also try Slimkat or Cyanfox....those are my recommendations ....hope it can help you :)

Slimkat
[Motorola Droid RAZR] imucarmen:
you guys were right. Slimkat was the way to go. The phone runs noticeably faster and ART works. This is actually the first time I've run Slimrom on any phone as I like feature packed roms and the name slimrom always turned me off but its a very good rom. Thanks for the tips guys.

Alright I just bought my new Wizard yesterday. I installed the CD rom toay on m computer. It installed everything, but when i plug my phone into my computer via USB cable, ActiveSnyc can't detect it.

But when i go to my Computer, it says mobile Device. what is up with that? My computer can detect it, but ActiveSnyc can't. Can anybody help?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
Probably be Antivirus or firewall software. try stopping these then plugging your Wizard in
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GTASouthPark:
ehh... nope, my firewall was off already. and i don't know how to change the antivirous stuff.

anybody else have any opinions... Maybe uninstall activeSnyc and reinstall the CD ROM?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thaittnguyen:
Hello everyone, as my title states. I am having a problem with my proximity sensor when in a call. I have a sprint galaxy note 2 (L900) and am currently running CarbonROM's nightlies (4.4.2). Before I was using the 4/10/14 nightlie and when I was in a call the sensor was stuck and kept my phone dark until the call ended. But now with the 4/17/14 nightlie, the phone is constantly on while in a call. Has anyone else have this issue using CarbonROM? If there's a fix please let me know. Much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm currently on Carbon ROM nightly version 4-17 and I have the same issue. Did you find any info on this bug in the Carbon ROM forum? I think this needs to be looked into because I don't like face dialing while talking on the phone. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thaittnguyen:
No I didn't find any fixes for it. I talked to one of the developers and they are looking into it BC when I entered the live chat I asked the same question and they responded with "let me guess, note 2?"they're not sure what's going on with the notes that is causing the bug. But I've been looking at the change logs hoping they fix it and my phone volume is really low when I'm talking to someone as well. Sometimes I can't even hear the caller so I have to switch to speaker :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks for the reply. As for the low volume during calls. You may already know this but try lowering the volume then raise it back up and that should increase the volume a lot. It's a bug in some AOSP ROMS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thaittnguyen:
I have tried that and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, unfortunately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
The proximity sensor issue has been fixed in the latest nightly build 4-23. Although now I can't sync my browser in Google account sync settings. All others seem to sync except browser. Could be another bug...

Now what shall I do . I was in stock kitkat with xposed installed . . Now due to this problem I flashed factory image and locked bootloader yesterday . Now tablet stops in welcome screen, can't go further since touch not working . What shall I do, service center, will it be covered under warranty? . Pls give your opinion

Hello,

It seems to be an hardware problem, because after flashing stock ROM, nothing worked again.

You have locked your bootloader, for an RMA process it's right.

So try to send it to ASUS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked but I was just wondering if it were possible to completely wipe the gs4 to stock like it come straight from Samsung and load your own kernels and roms. Or even load a dev edition or Google play edition load out so that the phone could be customizable. I mean isn't that all vzw does anyway is take the Samsung and Google packages add there own twist and apps to it and lock it down.? Sorry if this seems like a waist of time but it's just a question I keep asking myself but don't have the know how to test it for myself. Any input or further ideas would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501

Take some time and read through what's on that thread.

To answer your question though, unless your S4 is an MDK build or a Developer Edition you aren't going to be able to have a true custom recovery that allows for AOSP ROMs or custom kernels.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
I have read through many many forums hoping someone has found away to bypass the bootloader and nothing so far. Im not asking if i can revert it to an early kernel. I merely suggested to take the s4 and revert it to basically it's shell and find the packages that come for the dev edition or google play edition and load it up. That doesn't sound to crazy does it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Ohh OK gotcha! Hey to me that sounds like a great plan lol just I'm in way over my head when it comes to fully understanding what's needed to make something like that really happen.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
You and me both buddy. But hopefully someone with the know how will see this and give it a try. Who knows it could be the answer we have all been waiting for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You can't just revert to the original Google-supplied Android files as that operating system shell doesn't have drivers for the specific hardware devices in your phone - it has to be modified to add drivers for the screen, radio, cameras, touchpad, and so forth. That's files provided in the Kernel, so in the end you're asking to revert to an earlier kernel.

You can't install a Google Edition ROM image without customizing it for the specific phone, which is what some people have done. That is, to take the stock ROM and replace bits with those from the GE phone to try to get closer to the original; however, you can't go very far with this without having to change the kernel to make it compatible with GE, so you're stuck.

It's not a horrible situation as we can still use Safestrap to boot a custom ROM as long as it's compatible with the touchwiz kernel. If we could replace that kernel, we'd be able to run a lot more ROMs, but since the locked bootloader will reject a non-Samsung kernel, we're stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
I understand all of that. I am currently running hyper drive installed through safestrap but it still feels governed apposed to a Google rom. We are still stuck on 4.3 and everywhere else has a later version. I still don't understand why you can't completely erase the internals to reload with a different loadout. Isn't it the same phone regardless of where you get it rather it be samsung or verizon or google?whenever we download updates it installs new cameras and radios I'm not talking about reverting I'm talking about completely shipping the phone down to nothing but download mode and install new kernels drivers and software. Just like the developers at any of the companies do except we won't have to do any testing or development
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Short answer - no, you can't do that...it doesn't work that way. Depending on the bootloader your phone came with you cannot downgrade. You can try erasing everything and starting over but that's one thing you cannot change.....your stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Feel free to do what you want...but you may end up with a $600 door stop. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You can totally do this, you can replace the kernel and everything. The phone won't boot, and you'd have a hard brick though. The problem isn't replacing the kernel, the problem is getting the phone to boot after doing so. Download mode operates through aboot, aboot has protections and conditions set that regulate what kernel and recovery partitions you can boot. If these are replaced with a "non-allowed" version the phone simply won't boot, in other words it would be hard-bricked at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
"Shipping the phone down to nothing but download mode" - yes, you can wipe the internal ROM and strip it down to download mode.

Then you have a brick which runs just the downloader. OK, it's not quite dead, because you can flash stuff. But what can you flash?

OK, so you want to "install new kernels drivers and software". That's not always possible. You flash kernels and and software using the bootloader, but the bootloader won't allow you to flash a kernel that's not pre-approved by Samsung. If you're rooted, the rest of the phone storage can be overwritten with whatever custom software you want, but there's a hitch. You can install whatever software you want EXCEPT for the kernel. (If not rooted, you can't even do that without a custom recovery, which the bootloader won't allow.)

The software that you flash depends on the kernel to drive the hardware, so you can't flash base software that requires services that the stock kernel doesn't provide. This is why only certain ROMs are available for Safestrap - you can't flash CyanogenMod on a Safestrapped i545 because CM isn't compatible with the Touchwiz kernel. It's theoretically possible to modify CM to make it work with a TW kernel, but nobody has done that (unsurprising, as it would be a lot of work that would have to be repeated each CM release.)

The bootloader chain is the way Samsung enforces the restrictions on what you can and can't do with your phone. With a locked bootloader (like ours), you're very limited. Until the bootloader protections are breached, what you propose can't be done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
well thank you so much for your permission to do what I want I was so afraid you wouldn't approve. and I have geek squad protection with unlimited replacements and no deductable so it doesn't hurt my feelings in the least bit if things don't go as planned. I know i ain't as seasoned as some of yall on here but thats how things get done by asking questions and trial/error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnall09:
yes sir i did mean stripped down. sorry for the typo. and ok im not talking about stripping it down just to boot a custom rom or kernel. i want authentic samsung/google software and kernels. so the samsung wouldn't even accept its on software. I apologize for seeming argumentative thats not my intent at all. im just trying to get a good idea and handle on how some of this works. i appreciate your input and help on this matter and your patience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah it's a good idea for someone like yourself who seems fairly new to this stuff, because what you're proposing is kind of what were trying to do to unlock the boot loader. The problem basically is that the very base software contains checks to make sure you're using Samsung approved software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
i know how to permanently unlock it without bricking it. Hit it with a hammer smoke a whole lot n watch in amazement as the bootloader flies out of this phone, able to be replaced of course. Just kidding dont do that, although ive been tempted

reading helps too my friend....also I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that geek squad warranty coverage applies to the the misuse or negligent use of a product....you best read the fine print again.

[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
I was using an older version of ViperDNA(4.1.1) and was using Vonage to make calls. I recently updated to the latest version of ViperDNA and now when I use Vonage I hear some crazy loud screeching sound. Normal calls do not do this(just data based). I also tested out the latest UnSenseSIX and it was doing the same thing.

It doesn't just do it with Vonage either... it also does the same thing with

Google Voice

. I found it was working fine while using TextNow, but that app assigns you a new phone # & has fees. I just want to use one that uses your existing phone # but works via voip rather then using your minutes(which is what Vonage does).

Anyone else using these apps and know what newer ROMs work fine with them?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
All KitKat roms have voip issues. It is an issue with the kernel. Hopefully when we get the KitKat update, the source kernel would fix this issue. Go to an older Rom (like viperDNA 2.x) to resolve the voip issue
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
Is there one in particular that you recommend?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
A 4.4 Rom or 4.2? I like sense on this phone compared to AOSP, and I love the customizations viper has, so choose your poison. Check the viper 2.x.x thread. The most recent version is a rebase of the DNA ota, and the one before our is the One 4.2. The One version has Zoe and HDR, (I know the DNA one didn't have Zoe, but don't know if it has HDR.)
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
I was up until nearly 3am testing out different roms. I tried both JB & KK roms(aokp & aosp).

After completely wiping the phone & installing the latest 'NuSenseSIX' a long with the new radio, VOIP seems to be working "good enough" now. There's no more crazy screeching. There is however, a bit of static but it's tolerable.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] motog35:
I have been using the original Gear 1 since launch, so when the Gear 2 was announced, I was excited and could hardly wait. I went ahead and ordered the Gear 2 Neo instead of the Gear 2 due to not using much of the camera at all on the Gear 1. I have two major problems with Gear 2 Neo, enough so that I may consider returning it. Your feedback is appreciated.

1. Vibration is very weak - On my original Gear 1, I could feel the vibration under any circumstance. It was very strong in comparison to the Gear 2 Neo. Perhaps Samsung decided to turn down the vibration to save/extend its battery life? Could this be the reason? I could hardly feel the vibration on the Gear 2 Neo.

2. Plastic Look - I'm use to the metal casing on the original Gear 1, so going from metal to plastic housing is a notable difference in aesthetics. It' just doesn't have that appeal. I would get complimented on the Gear 1. Gear 2 looks like a toy watch on my wrist in comparison.

For these reasons, I will likely be returning the Gear 2 Neo and try my luck with the Gear 2. Can anyone provide their feedback, especially if you are coming from the Gear 1?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bennyhill:
I have to agree. I'm feeling exactly the same. I thought I was imagining things but the vibration is a lot weaker and I'm not feeling the all plastic design ether. I've also not noticed much of a battery increase. My Gear 1 seems to last just as long. I'll probably return this Neo and pick up a Gear 2. I'm also not satisfied with the selection of watch faces. At the present there are no analog dials which contain a date. I've found myself wearing the original Gear more then the Neo.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] motog35:
Wow, we feel exactly the same. I had forgot to mention the classic watch face from the Gear 1 that is not present in the Gear 2.

This is the watch face I've always used on the Gear 1. It was both classy and modern.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] klinsukont:
Just wondering if you guys are older gentlemen? The neo is waaaaay better looking than the Gear 2 or Gear 1. But i would think that Grey metallic look would appeal to an older crowd and older definition of "Classy".
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] smeiff:
1. I'm sure you didn't change it, but could your vibrate be turned to low? In settings goto Sound -> Vibration -> Verify "Strong" is selected. I do agree however that the vibration is less string than the fit.

2. I agree with the plastic look. I know they want that extra $100, but I think they could have at least made it look more classy. I don't mind it but I do prefer the look of the Gear 2 over the Neo.
