[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
Two issues I see with this:

1) No source code. We are not going to include a prebuilt closed-source app in Omni unless it's required for a device to work at all and came from an OEM (example here being some of the Nexus 5 APKs.). As an FYI this is why SuperSU is still not included. (Chainfire was going to work on an opensource version but never had the time.)

2) It seems to behave differently than our soundpacks manager, since it's for any rooted device. As such it could cause unexpected problems with Omni. An improved UI/UX for the soundpacks manager would be great if someone wants to submit that to our code review system as an enhancement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] artisticcheese:
Hello,

What is the best way to get back to complete stock (including locked bootloader). I'm done with playing with custom ROMs (running CM11 right now). I want stock and guaranteed stability then nightmare dealing with nightlies etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
I'm guessing you're on an I337 since you mentioned locked bootloader. If I were you I'd just flash a 4.4.2 stock ROM so that you can keep the possibility to use AOSP ROMs like the Google Edition ROMs and others. You can flash the ROM from HERE, use the version that doesn't say wBL at the end. Then just flash one of the 4.4.2 modems in RockRatt's I337 modem thread and it should work just fine. You could even reflash the MDL firmware before all of this to make it clean, or even just freeze the updater and stay on MDL.

If you really want to get rid of all possibility of running more than themed and modded TouchWiz ROMs, you can simply go to the General section, find the NB1 ODIN files, and flash them. If you want root after that, take the OTA to NC1 or sideload it and then use towelroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] artisticcheese:
So if I flash one of NB1 ODIN files my phone will looks like something I get from ATT store if I walk in there today, right? That's what I want to achieve, completely something unadultered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Yes, it will be just like the others in every way, knox bootloader and settings and all, no custom flags or anything.

Hi !

I wanna flash a battery saver rom on my S3 ( 4.4 rom )

Do you know the better rom for my battery life ?

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xddawg:
hey xda, i have a question for those using cm 11 on their t989

i am wondering what preferred network type and apn network type you are using. i am currently using the LTE as my preferred network type and the fast.tmobile APN. since the t989 does not support LTE, would it make a difference if i changed my APN to epc.tmobile and my preferred network type to 3G? (4G isnt an option in the preferred network type)

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srivmanu:
My brother was messing around with the ROM files and he misplaced/replaced some files in the device and now it doesn't boot, can somebody who owns the device upload the device root folder somewhere so that i may push it to the device?

Also, the device's recovery doesnt support backup and restore, so if anyone can link me to a working CWM or TWRP recovery for the device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troymcfont:
Hi everybody,

I'm new at this forum and new in rooting roming world, so first of all sorry for my mistakes in advance.

Just recived my Neken N6 MTK6589T 2/32 and wanted to root it. I have no idea how to do it and afraid of getting some critical error to the phone so I would appreciate detailed info. Also have read that I need to have some recovery app in case of getting that error and I don't know which should be and how to install it (it's not like installing an app from PlayStore isn't it?). Finally, I have notice that would be useful to instal a ROM after rooting the phone in order to improve its performance.

Well, as you see I'm in a mess and I would be very greatful to recive proper info. Thank you so much!

[Android Apps and Games] Sridaman:
great tool

great stuff. never seen all this in one place

i have downloaded the app on 3 devices - is there a cloud service for

a) viewing all collected logs in one place?

b) uploading my apk to run across multiple devices?
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
We're currently working on a web interface for displaying your own personal data. I'll let you guys know when it's ready.

You can see our public data thats recorded internally by us here; http://pro.gamebench.net.

Being able to run an apk over multiple devices sounds like a good idea, maybe soon....
[Android Apps and Games] Marília de Oliveira:
How do you use this app? :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
There is a setup tutorial included in the app, but it is only needed if your device is not rooted. It should be fairly straight forward! :) Please let me know if you have any issues..

I've a Nexus 4 with Doctor's Hell Kernel and I can't get rid of it because I can't active Systrace... Any tip?
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
unfortunately we require systrace to be enabled on the kernel. you may recompile the kernel with systrace enabled, or try with another kernel. :)
[Android Apps and Games] CCody:
This is one great app! Nice work! :)

While playing a game using gamebench, there are some laggs and stuttering. I think it is cause by gamebench. It is quite similar to game capture software running on windows though.

Anyway I like it! (y) :)
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
are you running android 4.3? there's a bug that causes stuttering when taking screenshots. you can disable screenshots in the settings
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
is there a way your app can tell the user the optimal settings to play the app. ex dead trigger ( your app tells us that) it needs to run on a high frequency and lower gpu value that you are currently on.....
[Android Apps and Games] CCody:
no, i am on 4.4.3. these aren't major stutterings. just like a decrease of fps in comparison with the smooth feeling without gamebench running. although gamebench tells me 55 fps average. i've tested subway surfers so far.
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
Can I ask what device you're testing on? i'll try and look into this, there shouldn't be any impact on performance. thanks for the feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] CCody:
I am using a Nexus 4. thanks for your effort! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Pao:
I have no idea how to recompile kernels or stuff like that... Guess I'll try that after some guides. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
you could also persuade the kernel developer to enable it! :p
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
no reply to my question?
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
this feature isn't planned, sorry. you could work out what's possible with your device if you had detailed info from the pro version which is soon to be released !

System Settings

Hi Milojoseph,

GameBench can measure various system parameters when a Gaming session was conducted. We can't control the GPU(Graphics processing Unit) clock frequencies for instance. Although we could inform the user the clock frequencies observed for the CPU and GPU, we cant really control the frequency scaling of those components.

On the contrary, the people who make phones can use GameBench to understand how real world content stresses the GPU and tune their drivers to be more efficient.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
cool just taking a jab at some features..thx

[Android Apps and Games] Mitty1990:
Really nice app man!
[Android Apps and Games] mbc07:
Nice app. I have a Xperia M dual running Android 4.3 with stock kernel. When I opened the app for first time it said systrace wasn't available, however, going to Settings => Developer options I have an option to enable systrace. Would that work? I enabled it and as far as I tested, all data (except FPS) were logged, is that related?
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
Can you confirm that systrace is disabled for us?

Using adb, paste the output here;

adb shell atrace
adb shell ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

If systrace is disabled (some manufacturers disable it by default!), then you will have to flash a kernel with systrace support! Cyanogenmod would be a good place to start.

Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] mbc07:
[MENTION=5021379]ziggyyy[/MENTION] it didn't work, I got a lot of "No such file or directory" errors when running the commands you posted. However, using systrace script or Device Monitor from Android SDK I can successfully get traces from the phone, so, I can't say if I have systrace enabled or not...
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
That is strange. Could you paste the output of

adb shell atrace

I'll look into this tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] mbc07:
atrace output:

Also, going to /sys/kernel/debug with a file explorer show me an empty folder, I'm assuming now that my kernel doesn't have systrace enabled :(
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
That seems to be the case, unfortunately. Cyanogenmods kernel for your device may have systrace enabled.

[Android Apps and Games] Haldi4803:
Made a short test with Epic Citadel benchmark on my Xperia Z2

i really would love to see CPU and GPU frequency as own graphs. But i guess thats not an important feature for you.

Few things that i dislike:

The Overlay with the timer! Make that thing optional and only show a Notification in the statusbar with option to stop.

the fullscreen mode in this app. i really like my Statusbar.

the Graph in the "Performance" Tab needs a Landscape mode which does not show the picture but is way bigger.

in the "Resources" Tab you don't have FPS graph. so you don't know if the FPS break down because of high GPU/CPU load on a certain point or because of something else.

But it's a good app :) could become something nice.

thanks for best apps but needs helps

actually i tried to test my own test kernel for paper.

so i used game benchmark very well and tanks very much about your great jobs.

i tried to use web interface also it was very handsome.

but i need to draw my own graph for paper.

so i looking for way to do and fine zip files which may send to your server.

can you help me to interpret your log for drawing my own graph?

please let me know how can read and use that logging data.
[Android Apps and Games] ziggyyy:
Good news everyone! GameBench doesn't depend on Systrace anymore, so there shouldn't be as many issues with running the app.

I am trying to use this app on my HTC 10 (7.0 Nougat). Before nougat, it worked fine, now, it does not measure Fps (it stays at zero all the time), nor I can see any the framerate graph after testing a game, my phone is rooted, what am I doing wrong ?
[Android Apps and Games] gamebenchjake:
Hiya! It turns out that in HTC's Nougat update, they broke some core Android source code and haven't fixed it yet. We've been in touch with them, and are hoping that they get it sorted ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience, but they totally shafted us :(
[Android Apps and Games] Xnehaxixh:
If someone has already got root access and wants to start the GameBench Service without connecting to PC, here's the way:

Open terminal and type:

su
/data/local/tmp/gbhelperdaemon

This will prove helpful to one who does not have a PC access but has root access. Took me some time to figure this out as I'm in a similar situation ?

I'm leaving tags here so it will be useful to find this post.

[Android Apps and Games] gamebenchjake:
Thanks [MENTION=8758240]Xnehaxixh[/MENTION]! You're correct that to start the service as root you'll just need to run the daemon - I am hoping that I can get our dev team to squeeze in Magisk root support in the future :)

[Nook Touch General] ivarmedi:
Hi,

First of all, sorry about my english. It's not my primary language.

I recently bought a used Nook Simple Touch on eBay. The previous owner had tried to root it, but failed somewhere along the way. I got it dirt cheap and figured I could fix it..

I've read "all" the unbricking guides here on the forum, but I'm yet to make it start. I can boot CWM, but for some reason noogie is not starting at all.

At first, the device said "Rooted forever" all the time, but after some messing around in CWM it's instead displaying "Your NOOK is starting up..." in five different languages, and stops there.

The thing is, I'm not even interested in the reading features (B&N apps, e-books, etc.), I just want to use the device to display a status webpage that I've made (weather updates, bus/subway/tram departures, etc. etc.), so as long as it can run Chrome or similar I would be perfectly happy! Is there a vanilla android ROM available so I don't need to care about the "device specific" data that I've been reading about (the one you're supposed to take a backup of)? Or can I just flash it with any NST firmware if I'm not interested in the reading functionality?

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Have you tried Nook Manager? I've had really good luck with it and it includes a factory image reset. It may be a way to get back to something you can work with.
[Nook Touch General] modemide:
I agree. I just received my nook from ebay a couple of days ago. I've tried a number of different root methods and google apps installers. Nook Manager + NTGApps was by far the simplest for me.

Also, have you tried the stock factory reset?? I'm new to this, so I'm not sure if it will work -- but I thought I bricked mine 3-4 times and the factory reset saved me every time.

0) Take out any SD cards (just making sure you don't have anything bootable on the card)

1) Press and hold the power button until it resets

2) As soon as it begins to reboot press and hold the bottom left and bottom right physical buttons until you see a prompt.

3) Wait for the prompt and press the "n" button once to confirm the factory reset

4) Press the "n" button again to begin the factory reset again.

After you factory reset, upgrade to 1.2.1 and then root using Nook Manager. Then, you'll have the browser available to you.

* Use Nook Manager to make a backup *
[Nook Touch General] ivarmedi:
Thanks for the suggestions you guys! I finally got it to work!

Noogie finally booted up. I just left the nook, with the noogie sd card in, connected to my computer when I went to work. When I got home, it had started. Since then it started every reboot. No idea why it didn't work in the beginning?

Alright, this is how I did. This information is scattered around the forum already, but hopefully it can help someone in my position.

1) I realized that the partitions table was probably messed up, so after "aligning" it using fdisk and the table found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29585690&postcount=6

I could restore my /rom partition. After I've made a backup of the /rom files...

2) ... I flashed this file using noogie:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49389880&postcount=2

3) I mounted partition2 on my computer (still using noogie) and copied my /rom files back to it.

4) It started! So I applied the official 1.2.1 update from B&N. After update I realized that I actually have a glowlight! It was listed as a regular Simple Touch, so that was a pleasant surprise.

5) Rooted using NookManager. Worked flawlessy. Installed Opera Mobile 12.1 (which have websocket support that I needed). I now have an awesome status "frame".

Thank you for all you help, including the guys & girls posting in the threads linked in this post.
