Hello!

I think that this kind of thead would be nice for noobies like me. I know that there are already good rom, kernel, mod and tweak lists but sometimes it can be very difficult to find combo which is perfect for you. This is not a thead for comparing roms, kernels etc. It would be nice if as many as possible posted here how your little SGY had been customized and specially for what kind of use.

Post atleast ROM and KERNEL and USE like this:

My SGY

ROM: Hyperion 8 GM Final

KERNEL: Savie #73 (Governor: OnDemand, I/O scheduler: sio)

TWEAKS: V6 SuperCharger and KAK

USE: I use SGY daily as my current phone so it has to be stable and every basic features must be working. I also wanted as much as possible performance without battery draining. Now my SGY run over 2 days for basic use and one day for heavy use (internet and little gaming). I also wanted bassboost for my audio player. I think that my performance is very good now and I can even play GTA III with only little bit lag (using Chainfire 3d) but the most reason for this combo is stable and fast normal use (no apps forsing down and freezing)

Sorry for my bad english. If someone want to write this with better english, go ahead.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Vohukain:
Any one else didn't want join?

There seems to be awesome traffic in this thead! :rolleyes:

Well, I'm going to update my combo anyway:

ROM: Hyperion 9 GM Final

KERNEL: Merruk 2.5 #206 (Freqs: 1248Mhz/312Mhz, Governor: SmartassV2, I/O scheduler: Noop)

TWEAKS: None

USE: Now my little SGY is my second phone and I don't use it very much anymore. When I go to gym I use SGY as mp3 player because my other phone is too big (5''). I also browse internet sometimes. With Hyperion 9 and Merruk 2.5 kernel SGY is amazingly fast and internet browsing is very smooth. Only disadvantage is that battery drops pretty fast. Long live SGY!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Minions_Army:
yeah... for what?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Vohukain:
I just don't get you. Why do you need to spam this thead? If you have not anything to say then leave. No need for that kind of post...

This thead is started because of:

Then everyone can find a good combo for their SGY. Some tweaks and kernels aren't compatible with some roms etc.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dumtara:
:cool: Here is mine...

ROM: CyanogenMod 7.2 - BroadcomCM [TOTORO] [RC 4 - 09/03/2014]

KERNEL: CM Specific Basic Kernel - BroadcomCM[TOTORO][v4.0 - 07/3/2014] (Freqs: 832Mhz/312Mhz, Governor: Performance, I/O scheduler: Noop)

TWEAKS: None

USE: My little SGY is my first purchased phone and I use it as mp3 player & for GMAIL. I also play games. My SGY is amazingly fast.

:good: Long live SGY :good:

Hi,

Im on stock jellybean with an old philz recovery(initially added by flashing a zip)....i had planned to try out the new Mokee rom by Herna with split window which is a kitkat release. for this i tried to update my recovery to the latest by flashing the zip file from http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition. .Unfortunately i went into bootloop .So i flashed my backup and everything was back to normal. Does the link give recovery +kernel or is it a plain recovery. Did i miss anything.. i would love to try out kitkat . Could anyone help me out with this issue..thanks!

When we will have the option to protect with the password a CWM recovery.and have the options in ROM MANAGER to remote activate the passcode in the CWM Recovery.this is for 100% SECURITY ON ANDROID.using app like DROID AIR App to REMOTE access our phone &

using ROM MANAGER to activate the password,so if the phone GOT STOLEN,then the phone wont be able to flash another rom or messing with the recovery.
[Security Discussion] Lgrootnoob:
This has already been discussed. I don't think it will happen.

Because we can't lock the bootloader with a password.

Which means that anyone could bypass the recovery password with fastboot erase recovery

then flashing their own recovery.
[Shield Q&A] goodgirljess:
First of all, hi... im new here, and new to android and more specifically nvidia shield (just got last night). Is there some comprehensive guide to setting up all the best emulators and controller mappings for them for my shield? and do i need to root it or whatever like i see people talking about?
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
First thing I would do is download retroarch. That contains all the most popular emulators and it is free. In fact the developer is very much against people charging for emulators and doesn't use ads or anything. The buttons on the shield are automatically mapped in retroarch as well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.retroarch

You do not need root. Just download it from the play store grab a few of your favorite roms and play.

Retroarch calls each emulator a "core" so if you want to play SNES (maybe don't use the BSNES core or whatever it is called. It might be more buggy than SNES 9x or whatever the other one is called) you would load up the SNES core in retroarch and then choose your rom.
[Shield Q&A] eikast:
If I were you, I'd root your shield. That way you can write to your external SD card and change the minimum CPU frequency while running emulators.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] WilliamTheFirst:
I have been looking for a dual SIM mobile phone and decided to have a look at P6 . Ive not yet had chance to have a play with it , but when I watch a review on youtube I noticed that it appears that the P6 does not have physical home / back buttons*but they are instead shown on the screen , which to my mind uses up some of the screen area . *I was wondering if its possible to some how to not show that area when not required

I really like the thought of physical home /back buttons that light up on a phone .*
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Stefan662:
There are several possibilities to hide the navigation bar if you don't need it.

i.e. here
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Yes you can hide it and also use floating navigation button instead. But anyway you should wait and buy the P7 which is getting released tomorrow.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] WilliamTheFirst:
Thanks for the advice guy's :good:

I can't see any mention that the P7 will have a Dual SIM Option ?

any links please
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex.79:
If you want use P6 dual SIM outside China, you can't use second SIM slot which is locked for China CDMA provider.

In fact P6 - C00 is CDMA phone and in Europe for example it will work only on GSM network.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
P7 could probably have dual sim without being locked for China. See the table here: http://www.huaweiblog.de/handys/huawei-ascend-p7-uebersicht-der-versionen/
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] eye2eye:
the p6 is sold in Thailand as a dual sim phone and both sims can be used on both gsm and wcdma ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex.79:
That is not true, and I will explane why!

Thaimobile center have made some mistakes.

1. Dual SIM version don't have SD card slot, it has second SIM slot insted SD slot.

2. Dual SIM version has a 16 GB of internal memory insted of 8 GB on the one SIM version.

HUAWEI Ascend P6 has only three models and they are:

1. P6-U06 Unicom version - GSM / WCDMA networks, one SIM and slot for SD card, metal case;

2. P6-T00 Mobile version - GSM / TD-SCDMA networks, one SIM adn slot for SD, metal case;

3. P6-C00 Telecom version - GSM / CDMA networks, dual SIM, without SD slot, plastic case with metal frame;
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] eye2eye:
Thanks for the information :good:

Just looking at some more Thai web sites it does seem that they are using the same misleading specifications , here's an example

http://www.shopat7.com/mobile/huawei/ascend-p6-white.html

I would be upset if I purchased a P6 after looking at the specification on that web site only to find its not true :eek:

Dont take risk and buy from not so well known dealers. There are also fake p6 with mediatek chips being sold.

Hi: I've super-upgraded to TuMa 1.3 with very good happy time till now!

Many thanks guys, especially Tuma!!

i just have one problem, when typing on my keyboard, sometimes, not all the time, keys stick and after pressing a key i get something likeeeeeee thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

or, even worse, the backspace key gets stucked the same way and it erases all EAAARRRHHHGGGG!!! :cry:

is this fixable??, is anyone else having this problem???

I use the keyboard big deal...

Have the exact same problem with helmi 1.3
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] arieltools:
So, I see now that upgrading (something I had planned) to helmi 1.3 doesn't repair this problem. I would like to know where this problem originates to find a solution. I'm using now Pocket Hack MAster with the device running at 597 Mhz and the problem is still there! :oops: :oops: :evil:

Some advice??

EDIT: I've removed the CPU Meter on the upper bar. It seems to work faster and better. Still waiting to see if the problem arises again..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Sova:
i'm on helmi_c 1.1b and have this problem too. May be that is hardware problem or driver time bomb? :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] chronofurb:
change the keyboard repeat settings, and delay settings, I have had this problem with every wm5 rom, and by changing the settings it appears to fix this prob.

tesing.. thanks for reply...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
its not the keyboard repeat settings causing this.. something to do with the device driver priority.. it happens less when you overclock.. I have to stay at 590 to make keyboard typing bearable or else some letters don't register or the repeat sticks..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xykosomatik:
probably something to do with the ROM as well... it was present on Tuma 1.3 and Helmi AKU 2.3, but after flashing AKU3.0 1.2 keyboard is working fine, be it 200mhz or 570mhz using xcpuscalar.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
I've had success with changing the keyboard repeat settings but it comes back eventially. I've had the problem on every WM5 ROM, but less-so on the most recent Helmi ROMs with the AKU update.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
its only in the built-in mail program... try typing in O2 SMSPlus or IE or something else
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] arieltools:
I'm now using Pocket Hack Master with the feature of using different speeds for different apps. It happens less, so, could be the driver priority on CPU intensive apps. Because the SMS app now seems to need more CPU power than before :? :? (bar & text space redraw or something), it is one of the apps I've selected to run at 590 Mhz:shock:.

I'm having this problem with other programs also (i.e.: Softmaker TextMaker, Pocket MindMap). Also, someone said that when using the e-mail (nor the SMS) part of the program the problem doesn't happens.. I've not tried myself as I don't currently use e-mail on my device.

Please, xykosomatik, confirm so. I would be eager to upgrade if this problem is solved on this ROM, as I use the keyboard typing 80% of the time on my device.

Thanks all.

*** DANGER WILL ROBINSON ***

If people continually try tweaking the Priority of drivers to ABOVE Real-Time or OS/Services level, and then claim that it makes things better - go right ahead. Sure, it "might" make it seem to operate better - BUT THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE IT'S SERVICING YOUR KEYBOARD AT REAL-TIME RATES ABOVE THE OPERATING SYSTEM ITSELF! ARRGH!

Have fun, enjoy playing with task/thread priorities, and don't complain when your device locks up because your keyboard driver is above the RAM driver, and locks up your device waiting on RAM access.

PLEASE ... read the MSDN articles on Priority settings before posting silly suggestions like setting the Priority to 1. Not even the OS is running at priority 1.

First i would like to welcome you back Tuatara, it is nice to see you around here!

I have tryed to modify some priorityes in aku 3.2 rom but it does not boot anymore. I have taken priority settings from tuma 1.4(sound driver and keyboard driver). Maybe there is something that make the device to crash with these roms..

see ya
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Well, that's what we're all doing here ... learning about our devices.

My mantra is "Knowledge just wants to be FREE!" ... so, just like any knowledgable community, we share our knowledge and as a whole become "smarter" than just individuals. (Ack! Philosophy 101 again! - Bleaurgh).

It'd be best to revert to a 'sane' value in any case. You don't want to interrupt time-critical tasks with something as 'foolish' as servicing a keyboard button.

The reason it still works for this driver is due to the driver REQUIRING a debounce delay in the keyboard. There is a finite amount of time which a key MUST be pressed before it will be recognized as being pressed. The QwertyKey driver implements this.

So, eventhough you are interrupting EVERYTHING else to service this driver, the driver (most of the time) says ... "I've got nothing to tell you", and returns (almost) immediately. The problems/issues come when there is something to service on the keyboard, and the driver blocks EVERYTHING else, just to read the key being pressed. (*)

The ONLY reason it generally still works, is because this driver has "little" real work to do, and doesn't (can't) block the OS for very long while reading the keyboard data (scan key, and then key conversion, and then passing the keyscan message to the windows message queue).

(*) Think about a data transfer (WiFi, GPRS, Modem, USB, etc.) which gets interrupted, just because it needs to scan the keyboard again. Your data transfers may get blocked/corrupted or the throughput can suffer greatly because it's being constantly interrupted by a "low" importance task.

There are some flaws in the membrane keyboard itself. The primary issue is bad contacts - leading to resistance & capacitance in the membrane itself. This creates R/C time-constants (think R/C charge & decay curves) & poor contacts, thus causing 'bouncing' in the electrical measurements.

The second issue is in the driver. I may take a look at it sometime and see if I can lengthen the time required for a button to be pressed (for being recognised as "down"). Yes, you will need to type slower, but then the repeeeeeeeaaaaaattttttiinnggggggggg issue will be reduced. Either that, or I may disable ALL repeat attempts (barring a certain delay time), so that repeating a key MUST press & release the button twice, with a reasonable delay time between it. Both could 'help' the fundamental hardware problem.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Thanks ... good to be back. My Family is thankfully doing well, however I'm still on anti-biotics, but quite happily on the mend now! :-)

It's quite possible that raising the sound driver priority above "default / normal" in AKU3.x is putting the sound driver above some other interrupt critical device. This could be leading to "priority inversion" problem.

- i.e. a device at a higher priority is blocking a device at a lower priority, BUT the higher priority device needs the lower priority device to execute FIRST before the higher priority one can continue it's operation.

An example could be - USB Transfer, blocked waiting on data, sound device comes in and wants to play a sound to indicate this problem. The sound driver then plays the sound, but it takes so long to play the sound, that when the driver releases back to the OS, the sound driver gets the very next time slice again, checks the USB status, sees that it's still blocked, and then plays the sound again ... result = lockup (endless loop), since the USB driver can never update it's status and get the next chunk of data.

I have not had any time for AKU3.2 as yet, since I'm still relying on my BA & Himalaya at the moment (catching up with RL work), and can't afford to be in 'debug' mode as yet. Soon though ...

Dear Tuatara,

It is so nice reading your postings again.

One weird thing about my keyboard though. After hard resetting the Helmi 1.3 Rom, the keyboard will function normally, only except in typing SMS message within the Pocket Outlook application. There is no delay when typing email within Pocket Outlook, any idea?

BTW, I found my Chinese localisation softwares, for instance CE_Star 2.8R2 and Monster Chinese V5.3 both hanging the machine from time to time. They are both latest versions available as of today. I guessed this is the major issue unresolved on my BA now...

Tuatara really is very good at this

Hi Guys,

I read Tuatara's comments on priorities with a lot of interest this weekend.

I've now re-jigged the AKU3.2 dev tree to force the MSDN recommended values for driver priorities. The result is a non-skipping windows media player, with WaveDev at priority 0x81 and no keyrepeats with QwertyKey driver at 0x80 - just as Tuatara said.

V1.3 of the AKU3.2 ROM kitchen will include these changes. I've no idea when it'll be released, but sometime this week.

Hi,

I have a Sony Xperia ZR (C5503), with stock android 4.3.

My goal is to root it and backup the TA partition before unlocking the bootloader.

I found 2 ways to backup TA partition with a locked bootloader. Both methods however require me to root my device first.

The first one redirected me to DooMLoRD's root rool

However, when I try to use it, it gets stuck waiting for device. I made sure:

- adb was running correctly (ZR drivers)

- USB-debugging was enabled

- Unknown sources was enabled

- Tried both MTP and MSC (USB connection mode)

Eventually I gave up trying.

The second one redirected me to Root MANY ANDROID!, which is unforunately incompatible with the ZR.

Now my questions are:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong when trying to use Doomlords tool?

Does anyone know another root tool which works with a locked bootloader?

Does anyone know a way of backing up the TA partition without root access?

Thanks in advance
