Q: why are there faux and faux free versions?

A: i love a lean kernel. with that said if you never plan on messing with gamma, or

purchasing FauxSound control app then i suggest you use the versions that dont have those features.

makes no sense to use a kernel with lots of bells and whistles youll never use.

Q: whats frontswap?

A: Frontswap -- and cleancache -- with a fairly small impact on the kernel,

provides a huge amount of flexibility for more dynamic, flexible RAM

utilization in various system configurations

When a workload starts swapping, performance falls through the floor.

Frontswap significantly increases performance in many such workloads by

providing a clean, dynamic interface to read and write swap pages to

"transcendent memory" that is otherwise not directly addressable to the kernel.

This interface is ideal when data is transformed to a different form

and size (such as with compression) or secretly moved (as might be

useful for write-balancing for some RAM-like devices). Swap pages (and

evicted page-cache pages) are a great use for this kind of slower-than-RAM-

but-much-faster-than-disk "pseudo-RAM device" and the frontswap (and

cleancache) interface to transcendent memory provides a nice way to read

and write -- and indirectly "name" -- the pages.

Q: I heard if you disable swap, then performance increases.

A: Bottom line is that, without swap:

1. Your system will be less stable.

2. Your system will not be able to hibernate as well.

3. Disk access speed in your system will be slower compared to a system that has swap partition.

Moreover, disk access speed will drop in the course of time.

Q: ive been messing with my frequency settings, and they wont stick. what gives?

A: the installer hardcodes min/max frequencies. if youd like to try something different

run the installer again, and pick new min/max frequencies there.

Q: I'm trying to use gamma control,but the settings dont seem to stick once my screen shuts on/off.

A: im aware of this. if you use the FauxControl app from the playstore your setting will stick better

however youll still have to cycle your screen on/off to reapply the values. im looking into this and hopefully

will figure this issue out soon.

Q: DriveDroid?

A: this is an app that allows you to use your phone as a bootdisk for your PC.

Q: My phones really hot, what the heck did you do!?

A: put your phone down. heavy use of your phone will make it hot. no amount of

kernel magic will keep your phone cool while under heavy use.

Q: just to spite you ive been flashing GPE kernels on sense roms, and they WORK!!!!

A: yes they boot, but any issues you have while expiermenting will make it more difficult

to seperate user error from kernel error. please just use GPE for GPE based roms and SENSE for

SENSE based roms.

Q: if i see you on the street, can i shake your hand?

A: NO

Q: can we have more governors?

A: no, kernels dont like redundancy. having four governors based on the on-demand governor just

isnt good practice.
[HTC Droid DNA] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Thanks mate!! Can I use this in Insertcoin?

EDIT : Also anyway to implement kexec-hardboot?

EDIT 2 : Sorry for the questions, just figure I'd ask now before the thread gets flooded with this question.. but since we have m8 kernel source is there any way to get motion gestures, again, sorry for the questions.
[HTC Droid DNA] ancola66:
Sorry for the stupid question :

The difference between GPE kernel and Sense kernel? Because I have flashing a GPE kernel with Sense rom (Insertcoin v2.3.0)and it also works well.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Kexec-hardboot is kind of pointless right now until I figure out why it won't boot sense as the primary rom, but I believe it's already enabled, it was in .torrented's versions at least. Btw if you think you might have any ideas on how to fix that, help is welcome. Pretty sure it has something to do with how partitions are mounted. If you look through the multirom thread you can see my unsuccessful attempts to fix it.

[MENTION=4803670]iHateWebOS[/MENTION] good to see your own thread for this :)
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Gpe kernel will boot on sense, but you may have touch issues ect. To be on the safe side, and to avoid false bug reports Im posting the two versions.
[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
I'm using Google Now Launcher on a Sense 6 ROM and everything is good. Is there a recommendation of Sense over GPE as Sense is my base or should I be using GPE?
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Sense base = sense kernel. Gpe base = Gpe kernel.

[HTC Droid DNA] ecselite:

I need settings for best battery life ( balanced performance :))

[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
The default settings set at default clock speed will net you the best balance. If your looking for more juice run the fauxless version with all wake options disabled.
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

Has anyone tried the Faux enabled Sense kernel on Santoid's NuSense 4.4? Wouldn't boot for me.

Cheers!
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Using that combo right now........ I'll download again and double check

Edit: yup its all good, must got a bad download.
[HTC Droid DNA] berniemac2021:
Working good for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Interesting, thank you for the response. Just to be clear you are using his build version R4.4 (not the newest that was rebased)? I ended up with a frozen boot then the display split into colored lines before going black. I am well versed in compiling roms but was not sure if base is a factor for kernels.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Using 5.2 now but I've been using his sense 6 rom sense release. It's what I've used for everything I've released so far. As long as its sense android version is 4.4.2 you should be good to go
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
OK must be a bad flash...I will re download and try again. I can't remember ever having a bad download. I was unsure if your newest posts was only designed to work with his current base.

Thanks

Update:

Re downloaded and checked md5...good download same results. Screen gets stuck at boot then multi-color lines before going to a grey blank screen. I have all the latest firmware and radios, not sure why the Faux enabled Sense kernel will not work for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Does the light version work for you?
[HTC Droid DNA] Protonus:
[MENTION=4803670]iHateWebOS[/MENTION] - is FFC enabled in these builds, like the ones you've given me in the beastmode thread? If I follow this thread and flash updates, is it the same kernel as those builds? Thanks!

They should be fine for Venom 3.5.0 right?

Hi everybody,

I found an old HTC Hero while cleaning up and I got the idea to use it as a Wifi Tether phone for my Tablet.

The phone is rooted and I already tried some ROMs. Unfortuantely either Wifi Tehter is not included in the ROM or it doesn't work after activating.

So I'd really appreciate your help to find an suitable ROM :)

Thank you,

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larkspeed:
I have a Samsung Note 3 running Kit Kat 4.4.2 Unrooted

For some reason the data connection rate is about a tenth on this phone than it was on my S3 using the same network, so bad in fact that most of the time it is unusable.

My current ISP provides wifi hotspots that cover the entire town I live in and most of the rest of the country.

Now these hotspots work great connecting anywhere up to 55 Mbps but they are not as fast as my home wifi connection.

What I am looking for is some way to prioritize the wifi connection so that when I am at home it connects to the home wifi and when I am away from home it connects to the hotspots.

As it sits now if I leave my house it will switch to the hotspot as soon as I drop out of range of my home wifi but it will not switch back when I come home.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larkspeed:
Thanks for that but I had already tried that, it works fine on my wifes S3 but on my note 3 it does not seem to want to work properly, again it does it when I get out of range of the home network but switching back when I come home is very hit and miss, sometimes it will sometimes it won't and if I have to keep manually checking it then it kind of defeats the purpose of having it :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Java8C:
I'm not sure if this is a recent problem or if I'm just doing something wrong, but for some reason every time I've recently tried to select a picture on my device for use in another app it will only reset the app after selecting the picture. This has happened on both TweetCaster while trying to attach a photo and on Handcent while trying to Take a new picture which it acts like it does then as soon as I hit okay it resets the app and I guess deletes the picture because I can't find it, this also happens while trying to attach an already saved image and also trying to just set an image on my phone as a background on the conversation window.

Like I said I'm not sure what's going on, but if this can be fixed or anyone knows what's going on please let me know. My phone is not rooted because I'm in the process of contacting Google to replace it so I rather not root it ATM in case any one thinks that a rooting might be the source of the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Is the battery on the TS upgradeable to something with higher capacity?

I haven't received mine but was hoping it might be standard part that you can just swap in a replacement....
[Ornate TrueSmart] funky0308:
Really doubt you could even find something that dimensions with higher capacity.

There was option to upgrade package, I did that (for one more battery and few more things)...

And yeah...mine is still somewhere in Laurents imagination and I really doubt it'll be shipped before this month end.

That's probably just another lie in a row...
[Ornate TrueSmart] death_entry:
Wasn't there talk about an 850mha variant instead of the shipping 600mha? I might obviously be day dreaming here :p

Hurry up graphene super capacitors lol
[Ornate TrueSmart] funky0308:
Hmm...I must admit it's the first time I even heard for 850mhA for TS.

It's really annoying how all technology constantly getting better but battery industry somehow can't catch up.

Phones, tablets and all other gadgets need something better than battery we have today - that's for sure.
[Ornate TrueSmart] CGeyser:
With the OEM battery, this watch is already massively heavy. Plus, once you start using apps or games, it gets very warm.

Instead of having a larger capacity battery, there should be a better software management tool to manage this watch-phone's resources. Just some casual FB messaging, my watch is barely able to last 1 day.
[Ornate TrueSmart] death_entry:
Wouldn't something like 2x battery app or pausing services with titanium back up do something like that?
[Ornate TrueSmart] CGeyser:
I use Du Battery Saver and even after killing all the background apps, I still get less than a day's battery.

I'm not sure how to copy/paste links with Tapatalk, but if you go to the general sub form for the AT&T Note 3 on this website it should be on the first page.

[General Questions and Answers] bwall:
Need to unroot Samsung Galaxy S4 Model SGH-I337M Bell Mobility for warranty purposes.

I am a newbie to rooting and a while back I followed the thread linked below and used CF-Auto-Root method to root my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

Now I need to unroot it so I can send it in for warranty by May 5th, 1 year warranty will be up then.

I have done some looking online and think that I understand the unroot process is done by finding the stock Bell rom online then using ODIN to flash the phone. Basically the same way that the root was done using Chainfire's method only in reverse. I think using the method I did to root the phone it still has the stock recovery so is unrooting just that simple? Could someone please confirm if this is correct?

Is this all that needs to be done to unroot the phone?

Do I need to uninstall apps that require root?

Should I do a factory reset after?

Do I need to use triangle away after so that Samsung can't tell the phone had been rooted?

Thank you for any help offered, much appreciated.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
+1 for that. Buy a Moto G and save yourself the trouble. It's a fantastic phone - I'd buy it if I had the money.

Xperia U is old as hell, so is Xperia Miro - just get a G, you won't regret it.

Or if you want to keep an Xperia, get an Xperia M - not as good as a Moto G (will I stop?! :D), but better than a U or Miro.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Phalangioides:
Moto g is indeed a good phone, but i'm suprised no one even mentions lg l9 ii

It's not much more expensive, but has bigger screen, bigger battery, sd card slot, probably better camera, krait 200 cores instead of moto g's cortex a7's and will get update to 4.4. Only drawback i can think of is that it has 2 cores instead of 4, but it doesn't matter much, better cores and higher clock makes up for it.
