[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
So I have a Motorola Droid Ultra, rooted, running 4.4 Kit Kat, on Obake 12.5.3, with SafeStrap installed. I have recently started to get random UI reboots and I have no idea what could possibly be causing these random UI reboots. Can someone please tell me, if I want to factory reset, should I use SafeStrap recovery to factory reset? and would I lose root? Or do I have to reflash my phone? (I'd prefer an easy fix while, at the same time, not have to reflash). Can someone help me troubleshoot my issue here? It would be much appreciated :)

Edit: In addition to the reboots, I also have another problem that has never happened before, when I go to storage settings in the settings menu, everything is stuck on "calculating"...

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimdae:
This is often caused by the cache being broken. I don't know how to rebuild the cache if you're just rooted and not unlocked. If you can find a way to clear it, then try that.

Factory reset can do this, but you might lose root (not sure).
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
Okay, so I am about to perform a Factory Reset through SafeStrap right now. I will give an update post after I do the reset.

Inspired by the theme kindly shared recently by [MENTION=4931701]Ben Ling[/MENTION], here's a collection of toggles for Xperia KitKat...with Lego!

To have these toggles, you can download the icons attached to this post and put them into the appropriate drawable-?dpi folder in your decompiled SystemUI.apk.

Or, if you're not comfortable with decompiling apk files, just flash the attached 'Lego_Xperia_Toggles_Flashable.zip' in CWM (not TWRP). This zip will push a file called 'SystemUI-Overlay-285.apk' into your 'system/vendor/overlay' folder.

By using an overlay apk, it means that your SystemUI.apk isn't touched. So you won't lose any of the mods you may have done to it!

Oh, and this zip will make a flashable backup too! Just in case you don't like the changes.

(Or, if you use Tickle My Android, why not just let the tool do it for you? I've just updated it with these icons!)

I'm trying to revive my friends Nexus 7. When we start it up its stuck on the Google screen. I was going to follow the instructions to flash the factory image here:

http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/flash-factory-image-nexus-device/

But the bootloader needs to be unlocked and when we try to unlock it via "fastboot oem unlock" in the command prompt, we get the message on the tablet to confirm we want to unlock it, but after clicking yes, only two messages appear "<bootloader> Unlocking bootloader..." & <bootloader> erasing userdata..." and then it doesn't go anywhere.

it is booting, i can login, i can connect to internet via wpa_supplicant and other methods, but i have one big issue - i can't get the Xserver to run.

looking it up - it is related to the fb* issue on the nvidia tegra here.

is there a way to apply this patch to my already installed kali?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jparnell8839:
Generally, it's bad practice to patch a compiled kernel. Occasionally I'll run into issues like this and I have to start over in a new source folder and try to recompile from scratch. If it succeeds, you know something was changed in your source other than your patch that borked it. If it fails, it sounds like the patch may not work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Muleguy:
I have spent the last week researching how to proceed with updating my Verizon Galaxy S3, but haven't found a clear concise answer pertaining to my current scenario. I thought a thread with a definitive answer would help others in my same boat save alot of time.

The last time I updated my phone was with a stock rooted MB1 rom with CWM 6023 recovery and 3.0.31-861013 kernel (2/14/13) and unlocked bootloader. Knowing that nothing good has ever come from taking OTA updates, I then removed the OTA Certs. I've kept my fingers crossed with the releases of ML1, MF1, and ND3 hoping that they would be better than MB1 but public opinion of the downsides has kept me from updating to any of these previous versions.

Now I'm DYING to update to Kit Kat and a better modem/radio than what I currently have. I've had really really poor experiences with a variety of handsets over the last 4 years using custom roms like AOSP, Cyanogen, etc. Therefore, I typically like to run a stock rooted version of whatever the current rom at the time is and remove some of the bloat myself or often there will be bloatware free stock roms for various handsets floating around so those are what I gravitate toward. More often than not custom roms have too many bugs (ie, camera not working or mms failures, etc) for production use.

So that being said, what would be the best course of action for someone such as myself to get on NE1 (or a really, really, really solid KitKat with NO bugs) and keep an unlocked bootloader for future flexibility. And, more importantly be able to update the modem/radio without locking the bootloader (as I've read some have found their bootloader locked after modem update)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JacobManning17:
Unfortunately, the ML1 update locked the bootloader and that hasn't changed with NC1 or NE1 (as far as we know). MF1 is the latest update I know of that still has the option for an unlocked bootloader. I've never used custom ROMs (but would very much like to) but I am currently on NE1 so I can't. Granted, I will say that Kitkat is a good update and things are running well. HOWEVER, from someone who would LOVE to have that option for an unlocked bootloader, I would personally discourage updates that would lock your bootloader. But the choice is yours.

Quick question (to someone with a little more expertise), If you were still on an update BEFORE MF1, and you had the option to download it OTA, could you extract the update.zip from /cache/fota like we did for the Kitkat update and distribute it so people could then flash it with Odin (and get unlocked bootloaders)? Or am I missing some flaw with that plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
You are basically going to have to wait until a dev puts out a stock, rooted, knoxless ROM based on NE1. I've never heard of a modem flash locking a bootloader. Modern has nothing to do with the bootloader. Anyone who said this happened to them most likely flashed the firmware or full factory tar instead of the modem file by accident.

Flashing that update.zip file through ODIN before a dev had a chance to remove Knox and the locked down bootloader would be the same exact thing as accepting the OTA. You would then be locked down.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Muleguy:
I ran across a thread on here just this morning where someone was trying to update just the modem and ended up with a locked bootloader. The replies suggested that Samsung may have slipped something in with the modem file this go around. That's why I included it in this question. I will have to try to find the link to the other thread when I have more time later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You might be referring to this post in the general section. I am still unsure how they managed to do this if they downloaded the 20 MB VRUCML1 modem from our S3 forum. There is only one person whom I know to have extracted it and that is Invisiblek. Not a single other person before this user has mentioned having their bootloader locked from installing the VRUCML1 modem in CWM or TWRP. I really did not understand what they were trying to say so I just kept the convo moving in a different direction.

Not sure whether the tar file you can download from sammobile will wipe your phone, but the tar file provided by open1your1eyes0 in the below linked thread will not wipe your phone. Either way, you will be on locked down NE1. Read the disclaimer at the top of the OP in open1your1eyes0's thread:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
I believe that is correct. I thought I saw a few people in the 4.4.2 update thread post that towelroot worked on NE1. May want to read the last few pages of that thread just to make sure about towelroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
That is correct. Towelroot works just fine with NE1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
So far, looking ok. I flashed via ODIN and now it's at Android is upgrading and it's optimizing 502 apps, so looks like the apps are still there.

Hopefully towelroot works fine and then I can tweak my system settings back, install xposed and I'm good to go.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

All went great. It took a good half hour after the upgrade for the CPU to stop being pegged at 100% and have the phone be responsive again.

Very easy, it kept all of my applications and settings and I didn't really need to do much other than towelroot and re-install xposed.

I'm due for an upgrade soon anyhow, so I didn't really want to go through a lot of work getting to Kitkat.

Hi, i just wonder why this phone use ram so much high? (mine: usually at 1,7GB). At first time i use this phone it was used about 1.1GB of ram.

I'm trying to compare this phone usage with my previous tablet, samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it just consume about 700MB of 2GB ram it have and at first time i use it consume about only 500MB ram.

For your information, i use almost same app running in my booth device. But..

Why it come so much different? Z2 for sure have 3GB ram (bigger than other) but i think the system at least consume much more ram too than others. Are I'am right? Can u tell me what do you think? And tell us about your idle ram usage too if u can..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I think nothing of it

Linux is healthy to use ram unlike other OSs when ever you open an app your phone will free ram if needed, its not to hard seeing as how its managed

Your actual free ram is always 15mb but freeable is usualy always %90 of your total ram, ignore how much ram is avaliable

If you want to know more, look up linux ram management
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistedddx:
Looking at RAM usage is entirely pointless.

Apps allocated RAM as they like but the operating system makes all kinds of predictions ahead of time to preallocate blocks of RAM to increase speed, eg when an app requests to allocate some memory the OS gets to instantly go "here you go; hehe sucker I already prepared that earlier".

The OS will more or less allocate as much RAM as you throw at it up to realistic limits. Eg once a tiny app has 1gb of ram the OS will take the educated guess that will be more than enough for it and not allocate any more.

If another app opens up and the OS is running low on memory it will rejig how much it has allocated to apps that never actually requested that much memory.

This happens on any modern OS and is why you should never really care how much RAM things are using.

In Windows under process manager if you looked you would find there is about 10 different ways to look at the RAM usage per app. Unless you really know what the numbers are saying they will all means basically zero in the real world.

BTW, I install the app Clean Master ( like CC clean on Windows). And I always do clean Junk file and Boost ram once a day.

Is it good to use this app everyday?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schallwert:
If it's another generic 'ram booster', it's next to useless, but it won't be dangerous to use unless the app is programmed poorly. As others have pointed out, if there's no problem with the system (e.g. memory leaks), the RAM it allocates is used for caching apps so they may load quicker. Simply put, this behaviour is intended.

Cleaning junk files will probably have next to no effect on perceived performance as well untill you've hoarded enough junk files that your internal memory is almost full. But I see where you're coming from; it's very satisfying to see memory freed. :D

And while I am at it, I'd like to recommend SD Maid for this purpose. It's one of the few apps that actually do something useful. You can delete orphaned folders by apps that are no longer installed, delete junk and duplicate files, bulk clean app caches as well as optimise internal app databases.
