When installing viper4android, it asks to install super high quality audio, and disable low power audio.

I comply to both (install super high quality drivers and disable low power audio)

Now, I do not use equalizers or effects bass enhancement, anything on my music. But I do madly like high quality music. So will installing those drivers improve the audio quality of my phone even if I don't use the equalizers?

I don't care about battery for music, so cancelling low power might be a good trade off if it actually improves the audio drivers.

I asked this is viper thread before, but no official maintainer or person with authenticated knowledge seems to be available there. Can someone give me an authentic and correct answer?

Because it will decide if I'm foolishly wasting my battery life or am I actually getting better audio

And no, please don't reply with "your ears would know" and non-accurate stuff like that. Audio is a thing in which you need to be guided by people who KNOW rather than trust what you "like" or think is "better". At least for me

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pengkaputt:
hi, several days ago my htc one (m7) fell into a frog pit (alongside with me), it still worked after that.

then the battery went down and i ended up in bootloop, but managed to start into save mode.

it wouldn't start normally and only operate in save mode. i unlocked bootload via htc dev, as i thought maybe the water killed the os or something,but didn't do anything like flashing.

here is what i've done so far:

-factory reset (4 times or so)

- clear cache/wipe

-airplane mode

-tape trick

-save mode

-other sim card, from another carrier (working)

no it starts in normal mode but wouldn't recognize my own simcard (worked the day before, happend over night).

so i went and checked if it's a simcard problem.

now it gets tricky, my old simcard worked fine in another phone and the other simcard also was accepted by my phone and worked. my own simcard is not working wtf?!

so i ordered a new card, guess what, not working,mind the other simcard i tried does work ( it's another carrier though, maybe it locked mine out? is that even possible? )

i'm out of ideas here (even tried the tape trick) maybe someone can help, otherwise i'm sending it in. it's os annoying :/

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manganese:
Hi,

Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.

I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.

I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?

Help!?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It should just work.

Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.

Perform a full wipe.

Flash Cyanogenmod.

What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.

ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

Although Sprite makes slightly larger backup images and costs US $30 you are better off being able to restore after a ROM upgrade as upgrades do come out frequently and the last thing you want to do is configure ur device from scratch!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gevensa:
Hello there!

I need your help to be sure about some things.

(Oh! Sorry for my bad English, not my native language)

I have a Galaxy S5, I bought this with my country operator. The latest software for the SM-G900F model released by my operator is G900FXXU1ANCE.

I read that Samsung has updated the software with some better and this update is G900FXXU1ANE2.

My questions are:

1) If I download the G900FXXU1ANE2 version and install via ODIN, you modify a 0x1 Knox void warranty? Or is maintained in 0x0?

2) If I install G900FXXU1ANE2 and sometime I go to claim warranty, could reinstall the G900FXXU1ANCE version? Ie make downgrade. Or this could change me knox void warranty?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
First of all flashing official firmware with Odin will NEVER trip KNOX. Don`t know if you can flash an older rom, if the bootloader is the same it should be possible, just try it mate and if it should fail you reflash the rom you have now. You can flash any compatible rom with Odin, also the ones that are not for your region.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Installing this update should not change the Knox bit. It should remain at 0x0 in this situation. Flashing stock firmware will not normally change Knox, although if you try installing a pre KitKat firmware e.g. 4.2.1, may corrupt the bootloader and increment the Knox counter. A power interruption during the flash process may also trip Knox. More commonly, installing a custom kernel or recovery will also trip the Knox counter.

You should be able to revert or downgrade to the earlier firmware in your example. And that won't affect your warranty (or be necessary for warranty purposes). Note though that you cannot downgrade all firmware versions. For example, Samsung introduced the Knox DRM in 4.3 and don't want you downgrading to remove it, consequently you cannot downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.x (or earlier).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
An OTA update will check your CSC to see if the update should be applied to your system. If you change your CSC from AAA to BBB, you can't expect to receive OTA's for AAA any longer. If your intent in doing this is wanting to receive BBB updates, the CSC change will usually suffice. It's a carrier implementation though and a more conservative carrier could also do secondary checks such as matching the baseband CSC as well.

Also you shouldn't change a CSC unless you are confident that the BBB OTA is compatible with your current firmware.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

That doesn't surprise me at all. As I said earlier, you cannot expect to flash any firmware with Odin. It is dismaying how many people state that you can do so when they don't really know that to be true. Or to be more precise, they think they know and want to help someone. But in fact, they don't understand the subject in any depth, have no reasonable basis to believe that they do and good intentions notwithstanding, do a real disservice by spreading dangerously inaccurate information.

To reiterate, you cannot flash any file with Odin. Someone who tells you that you can flash any carrier's S5 firmware onto your S5 is demonstrably wrong. It will work in some cases and they are making a bad assumption that because it worked in one case that it can be universally done. As you found out firsthand, that is not true. Someone who assumes it is universally true and further presents that unfounded assertion as fact isn't exercising sound judgement.

This is an oversimplification, but to give you a rough idea of what is going on.. hidden.img.ext4 contains carrier specific information. And it is partitioned. So if you flash a firmware from another carrier and it happens to be formatted as a larger partition, the flash will corrupt the partition structure, leading to the Odin error writing to hidden.img.ex4 and soft brick your phone.

Long story short, don't blindly believe everyone that makes authoratative statements about what you can safely do. Try to understand the process as much as possible yourself, so that you can spot the worst inconsistencies. And look for a sense of how deep and consistent someone's knowledge of a subject is before taking their advice.

To recover after flashing an incompatible flash from another carrier, you would ideally flash a stock copy of hidden.img.ext4 and the PIT from the original carrier. If you don't care aout Knox, flashing CWM will typically resolve the issue as well. Also if you understand partitioning structures, better informed users can discern in advance if a carrier x firmware can be safely flashed or not.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born4trance:
Wow.. and wow (+thanks :) )

So (long story short): besides flashing CWM/TWRP/Philz i could flash a .pit from a 16GB S5 (of the same model) that comes with a PHN firmware, and then flash the PHN firmware itself and retain 0x0 ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Flashing a custom recovery would increment Knox to 0x1. But it should remain 0x0 if you use the proper PIT corresponding to the new stock firmware. I haven't tested that (as I don't really care about Knox personally) but I don't see any logical reason that Knox would be concerned with that scenario, nor heard of any reports of it happening to anyone.

PHN.. is Netherlands? So assuming that you have say, a 16 GB SM-G900F, you should be able to flash a 900F PHN firmware successfully and safely if you do so in conjunction with a PIT file for a 16 GB PHN 900F. I presume that the flash won't trip Knox either but I have not actually done so personally.

Theoretically the write could still fail on an aboot auth failure but I haven't seen any evidence that carriers are locking down their bootloaders that tightly and don't think that would be a likely impediment.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born4trance:
Correct: For non branded / SIM-lock free

I indeed own a SM-G900F and its also important to mention that the partition layout differs between 16GB/32GB models ;)

Now to get ahold of the correct .pit (still looking)

I'm so grateful for the forum. Thanks So Much.

Here's my question. this phone I'm thinking about buying Nibiru Mars One H1 has all I need but for one thing. It only has a 2000mAh battery. What are the chances, and is it possible to put a larger battery say 3000mAh in the phone and have it work? Assuming that it fit and all. Why would the phone care if the size is not a problem?

The other question I had is I have been reading a lot about the HSDPA+ and FDD versus TDD which is describing the two way or dual connection with a single tower communication to increase speed. There seems to be a lot of questioning about the dual antenna interference and also in FDD packet collisions causing the speed to be reduced. Now this phone in the description has a line called Network Conversation: One-Party Conversation Only. So i don't know if they are talking about not being able to send receive data and voice packets or only one SIM card can be on a call at a time? If the later, I would not call that Network Conversation, I would call that Phone conversation or SIM conversation. What do you think?

So i have flashed several kernels without any problems. My last one was kangaroo v100. I decided to give elementalx 13.5 another shot but when i did my dialer kept crashing and was getting forced reboots after about 60 seconds. That was enough time to check my kernel version and it still said i was on kangaroo.

I reflashed my radio to fix the crashes. I then factory reset and flashed a nandroid backup and reflashed my rom. This gave me back my stock kernel. Unfortunately the only kernel i can flash still is kangaroo v100. I can't even flash the updated v110. When i try to reflash elementalx, it doesn't take but the elementalx.conf file and the elementalx init.d script is in the file system.

Any idea on what could be preventing this? Id blame it on kangaroo but i tried flashing elementalx and kk v110 after my stock kernel to no avail.
