GS5 Rom, Thank you.

Thank you for the info, but I did not see the download booster listed on the ROM info. As long as the camera, sms, data, and phone calls work I'm good. But, I would really like to have the download booster as well.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
It's in the title DLBoost
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photonsnake:
Thank you for the link.

Yes, I just saw that. I was surprised though that it was not listed in the bullet points further in the page since it was a key feature that was removed. Thank you for the link.

Boot Unlocker

I rooted my device a while ago, but I do not have a recovery like TWRP installed. Can I simply use a new root and unlocker combo?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
You can simply flash a recovery through Odin. Philz is what I recommend.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titomax82:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to understand how and how much thermal throttling influences my LG G2 performance while using games; to achieve this I need some app that can show me, in real time, osd on-screen-display while I'm playing, the usage of the 4 cores of the snapdragon800. I'm more interested in their frequencies than in load percentage.

I tried to search on the web, but I didn't find what I'm looking for, but, I saw a video (this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Z6_nx1bUU ) in which there is exactly the app I'm searching for (the one on top left "multicore usage" ... I don't know if other boxes are from the same app).

Someone knows this app's name? or can recommend me an app with the same features?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Hey!

While I don't have the knowledge of an app that does exactly what you want, I've read countless times that the SD800 starts at max load and then throttles down as the CPU gets hotter. It would be interesting to see exactly HOW much it uses.

What I've done, though, is to start playing Asphalt 8 and having a CPU monitor from Android System Tuner on my home screen. I'd then play a bit, then quickly go home and open the CPU monitor. First 5 minutes it was at 2.26Ghz, then it throttled down to 1.95 Ghz and finally after about 10 minutes it throttled down to 1.72Ghz.

Now these times arent quite precise bit it should give you and idea of what to expect. I'm more than interested in hearing what kind of results you get, so go for it!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titomax82:
I'm doing a similiar thing with Trickster mod to see how much time is spent on every single frequency... but it's very difficult to understand something in this way. The only thing I can say is that my snapdragon800 throttles like hell....

In 30 minutes playing:

only few seconds at 2265, 1958 and 1728 MHz (the same for 960 and 1190 MHz... I think this 2 frequencies are unused in playing)

2 minutes maximum for 1574 and 1497 MHz

Most of the playing time is at 1036 MHz and 1267 MHz....

But, generally I can't say at what frequency Thermal throttling is influencing smoothness.... this is why I need some app like computer programs such as atitraytool or msi afterburner... this is the only way to understand precisely.

However, I discovered that the benchmark used in the video of the first post, is a "Qualcomm" tech demo with built-in osd... but I'm unable to find and download it
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
What PVS bin is your SD800? You can check that in the hidden menu.

Keep in mind that there's another factor to determine the smoothness which you shouldn't forget - The frequency of the GPU. It might be interesting to monitor that too.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Hey for now you can try cool tool from play store which won't give multi core stats but it does display the constant change in frequency

Sent from my Potato powered G2 D800
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titomax82:
What does this me? Please help me with more detailed instructions on how to see it
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Well PVS is basically how "good" your chip is. It is a scale from 0-6 where 6 is the best and describes how many volts your chip needs to achieve maximum frequency.

You can check it by entering (on a D802)

3845#*802#

Then go into "Settings" AND "Version Info" - scroll down and see.

Naturally, the lower your PVS bin is, the more heat your phone will produce since it needs a higher voltage to acquire same frequency. This also means more throttling.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titomax82:
It's 4

I think it's quite good (infact I have -50mv, that is 2 steps less with trickstermod, on every frequency)

However, I found "PerfMon" here in xda... that has a floating window that monitors every single core usage and frequency (just a pity it doesn't monitor temperature...)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titomax82:
Also I noticed that gpu stays at 320MHz max while it should be 450 (in trickstermod it's correct)

Performance "gpu" governor works (but kills battery staying always at 450 MHz)

Simple_OnDemand "gpu" governor gets phone into bootloop
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treebill:
cpu throttles at 75c first ti 1.9 ghz, as the phone heats up more it will drop to 1.7. Phone will shut of at 92c.

and yes i got to 92C turning off throttling on CM and running antutu, wouldn't advice it ^_^
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Weird. I found my cpu being throttled down to 1.57 ghz @ 69 degrees. Mine is pvs bin2

Hi guys !

I bought before a lot of things from Energy Sistem, a Spanish company and they rocks. 3 years warranty and great quality,

I was surprised today when I visited their website to search for a card reader (it looks that they are not selling things like that anymore) to see they are manufacturing smartphones. I have friends with tablets and all works just fine and fast.

It looks like they will release this month three smartphones (two of them octa-core).

The specs are great, even if I'm not a fan of the Mediatek cpus.

I'm giving here the link:Mod Edit: Commercial links removed

The expensive one specs are great. Those smartphones are just great for those who don't want to spend a lot of money but have a great phone.

The cheaper one looks like an iphone, the expensive one like a HTC lol

Just in case any of you plans to buy one, please share the experience ;) Really curious how this things works and if are reliable as their tablets. I thought will be nice to share here.
[HTC One X] techenthusiast:
I am currently using Mikes latest ROM.

I want to sell the phone, so I'll need restore root etc. I cant do this, as I cant find the same or lower RUU for my phone.

I also cant find a stock nandroid backup for VODAP001.

Is this a total loss, or is there anyone out there that can help.

Your CID can't be VODAP01 check again missing one number, and YES there are nandroid if your CID is VODAP001

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Yunshen:
Hi,

At first I want to cook the pdamobiz customized AKU23 rom to make it clean, so I read this thread http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=34171 and decided that I need to convert the nbf file found in the rom package to nba first.

So I tried using xda3nbftool and got the following result:

E:\makerom>xda3nbftool
Usage: xda3nbftool [-u] { -c | -e | -d } inputfile outputfile password
-c : calculate crcsum of file
-u : updates the calculated checksum
-e : encrypt inputfile
-d : decrypt inputfile
-x : xor inputfile with password ( should be a number )
-t : automatically find the xor key, with -x auto decrypt
-sd : change devicetype
-so : change operatorname
-sl : change language
-sv : change version
-v : verbose

HimaUpgradeUt v0400, v0500 use password HTC
HimaUpgradeUt v0600 uses password 921211
HimaUpgradeUt v0910 uses xor with 0x89124137, 0x25863614 or 0x12345678
HimaUpgradeUt v1000 uses xor with 0x20040304, 0x20040305 or 0x20040306

E:\makerom>xda3nbftool -t -x nk.nbf nk.nba
NK.nbf: Permission denied
ms_.nbf: No such file or directory
Radio_.nbf: No such file or directory

E:\makerom>

Then I tried typhoon nbf tool v0.4, thinking maybe with it I can dump the OS part. But I only found options to dump rom into .n_d or .n_e format, still not the nba file I wanted.

And then I read a thread saying we can use typho5 to extract the nbf file into several nb files and then use winimage to edit it...

Now I am completely lost! Please tell me by which way I can remove those utilities I don't want from the OS rom, would you?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] farrokh_sha:
hi guys...:cowboy:

here is what kies says when i plug in my GT-N5100:

This is the latest firmware.

*Current firmware version : PDA:MD1 / PHONE:MC8 / CSC:MD1 (XSG)

and settings>about phone says:

android version: 4.1.2

kitkat is listed in both sammobile and samsung update for XSG region ... why is the kies telling me that i have the latest firmware?? why doesn't it update?

another question: is there any problem with updating to kitkat? (like the s pen offset and something that i may regret doing the update)

thank you all :highfive:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
If Kies does not notify you that there is a newer firmware it may be that you need to do OTA, as your provider will release the new Firmware. To check for OTA, you can go to About Device within the System, and tap on Software Update, and tap on Check Updates.

All firmware updates will mess with some settings, to clean up any issues, perform a Factory Reset within Security Settings of the System once the update has been performed.

To correct the S-pen issues with any update, just use the S-pen and trace from corner to corner along the edge of the display. You may need to do it a few times. As the S-pen feature automatically calibrates when doing the corner to corner trace. Be sure to trace to each corner til you end where you started.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] farrokh_sha:
thank you very much. i don't have any contract or provider. and i tried the OTA update too. again it says that "the latest updates have already been installed". what is its problem?!

i noticed that in its recovery, down the list of actions, it says :

"# MANUAL MODE #

--Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : XSG

Successfully applied multi-CSC"

does it indicate anything about this problem?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] giveyouflowers:
well,

i dont think the country you're in is not supported yet. since i have the same problem like you so i googled for it.

and it said note 8.0 just rolled out for polland ans south korea only. i think we should wait for it :(

or u can get that firmware and upgrade with odin. but i dont think its a good idea cuz every country has different network type.

Hey every MEDIA expert out there!

I just got myself a pair of 3D glasses yesterday and want to know if there is any application on the play store (or any APK for that matter) to watch a normal movie in 3D effects like a 3D movie??

Like on the PC we have KMplayer to function as a 3D player.. .
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sourabhp:
XSP does not have 3D screen so not possible I suppose
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velnens123:
It is impossible.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushaan™:
It is totally possible.

All you have to do is to get a video converter which converts your regular video to a Cyan/Red video ( stereoscopic 3D video ) and get a pair of (or make one at home) Anaglyph - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_3D glasses.

Then all you have to do it, convert your video, transfer it to your phone, put on those glasses and start watching it in 3d.

*You don't want to watch that video for more than 1 hour because it can make you squint....................

just kidding

It won't make you squint but my eyes hurt every time I watch a stereoscopic 3D video.

Good luck

try typing 3845#*802# in dialer.. does it work ? If yes - it will answer your question :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javedabbasi:
No. It does not work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
It's definitely a F320L then :) You can take back cover off, right? And there's place for a MicroSD? If yes, then it's a F320L
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javedabbasi:
My friend, I know it is originally Korean Version (F320L) and I am using MicroSD as well but firmware flashed on this is not the original one. The software version is Lightning v2.0. Before this on original software(firmware) there were many Korean softwares and after flashing current firmware (which someone else flashed for me) there is no Korean thingy on phone and it is all English and rooted as well.The build no is also changed. My question is I still need recoveries prepared for F320L or recovery matching to build no. KOT49L.D80220b? Because all recoveries are for different variants and I don't know which is for my phone. Bottom line is I need a working recovery on my phone so I can try different custom roms.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
You should most definitely flash a custom recovery for F320L then :)

There are many D802 Roms built on Korean firmwares but that doesn't make the core things of the phone Korean, and that's what you should look for when flashing.

Your ROM is just built around a D802 Firmware but everything is modified so it matches your F320L. I hope this helps!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javedabbasi:
Finally, someone understood my problem. Thanks for your answer. OK, Now if I flash F320L recovery and somehow it goes wrong than what will happen. Because I do not have any backup of current rom
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Honestly, since you're running a custom ROM already, I think you have a custom recovery installed for how would you otherwise have a custom rom :laugh:?

Please try turning your phone off, and try factory resetting your phone using the button combination - that should take you to the custom recovery :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Be careful about the build.prop entries.

If there is wrong build info (d802 instead of some other let's say..) and you unroot, and you have no recovery and want to use download mode, the lg tool detects it's d802 and you can't flash your proper kdz..

It's most likely because of your current rom. If the rom cook provided variants in aroma then he didn't provide seperate build.prop's (or entries)..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javedabbasi:
Exactly same thought come to my mind and I tried to enter in recovery mode and found a full page in Korean language which is for sure is not recovery I used always.

Hi XDA gurus...

Just received a Galaxy S5, upgrade from a HTC Desire HD.

Before swapping over which I have not done yet, I want to know if there is a way that a particular Banking App can be installed on the S5 via image or .ISO or whatever, rather than by complete re-installation? I have personal reasons for wishing to do so, without going into detail... don't want to bore you with the reasons.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi!

I think the only easy option I can think of that 'should' work, is Titanium Backup. Below I will post a link to a guide for it. The app is on play store or course.

Basically...run a backup on your old phone. Transfer the backup folder from titanium backup on your internal SD to your computer.

Get your new phone setup and install titanium backup. Then just transfer your backup folder onto your new phone in the titanium backup backup folder...so the backup folder ends up in the same spot on your new phone.

Then use titanium to restore your bank app and data.

I would only do this with your bank app...and hopefully it works out. Fresh install the rest....or try restoring them. But if you have issues, you're gonna have to just install them fresh.

Here is the guide ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480343

Other options could be an app that backs up to drive ...or Dropbox. Then restore them on new phone from drive or Dropbox.

There's many backup apps on the play store....just gotta search on them and read their description.

Personally, I'm not a fan of any if this tho. A new phone should have fresh app installs in my personal opinion.....but that doesn't mean it won't work. ;)

Good luck! ?

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I should add, both phones need to be rooted to use titanium backup, and many other backup apps.

Also, here's a useful link of someone trying the same thing.

Its not for your device....but the principles will be the same.

[XDA Assist] Darth:
Here is the adb backup method. Its far more advanced tho, but you don't need to be rooted.

Read very carefully. And if it seems too much, then don't.

Here's a guide, its not your device....but as long as you aren't flashing any files, it won't matter.

Again, quite advanced....you could ask for help in the thread if needed.
