[Verizon LG G3] SJUnion:
After reading the general forum a bit, I stumbled across a post from someone using the Seeder APK [Root required] to help mitigate some of the lag/stutter/UI weirdness some of us are seeing on the G3.

I had never heard of this app before, so I looked into it and found out more here.

I downloaded the APK and turned it all the way up. I enabled all it's options and let it work; and well it did. Specifically I saw a reduction in stutter when flipping to the recent apps screen, and generally improved performance with other UI animations like scrolling. Some are even reporting better performance with how third party keyboards animate and respond, a problem I had run into using Swiftkey.

I cannot explain why this is working and apparently neither can the developer, because the newer versions of Android do not handle the processes this is supposed to address in the same way. Give the thread a read and try it out, so far its made a difference for me and I'm happy with it. :laugh:
[Verizon LG G3] imucarmen:
I've used seeder for a long time now over 3 different phones and it always seems to do the trick. I have been getting some laggy animations on the G3 (why can't these companies focus on making the experience smooth throughout :/ ) and seeder has seem to reduce the lag the most. I'm surprised how choppy the animations are on the G3 at times because my G2 ran like a dream most the time. I expected more from the G3 though it's still a great phone that imo is much better than the m8 and s5. I mostly assume it's down to the screen res and size and the fact that apps and android itself is becoming more and more resource hungry. I guarantee if you put ASOP 4.0-4.3 on this thing it would fly.
[Verizon LG G3] Flip35:
Do we download the latest apk from that forum you are providing?

sorry I believe I got it, in downloading seeder 2.0.0
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
It's been debunked by Google itself and there is no empirical evidence that it works at all.

[Verizon LG G3] SJUnion:
I have read that, however despite that information I do perceive a difference and no its not a placebo. I understand that the professionals cannot substantiate a change. All that I can suggest is that anyone that has a complaint regarding the G3 and laggy behavior...give this a shot. If it doesn't work, chuck it....if it does great!

Understanding why is works? Hmm yeah Id love to know.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
There's no way you would be able to tell if it was placebo effect or not without a double blind study or some evidence to backup your claim other than observation.
[Verizon LG G3] SJUnion:
Ok. Does that mean your not gonna try it? ;)
[Verizon LG G3] ivanov13:
Well, I can confirm that it works well for me. I can see significant difference right away. Thanks for [MENTION=3852907]SJUnion[/MENTION] for shearing.
[Verizon LG G3] Flip35:
I don't know about anyone else but it did work for me. I can significantly noticed the difference
[Verizon LG G3] yoyoche:
I have to agree, there is a significant improvement for me as well.
[Verizon LG G3] nystatus23:
Yes their is a very much of improvement of speed/no lag after installing, #mysimplepleasure
[Verizon LG G3] imucarmen:
Hooray for seeder!

People always try to debunk the fact that seeder works but the reviews in the google play store and my eyes have always told me otherwise. When a phone is very clearly lagging and then you install seeder and notice the change right after I don't think we need any experts to tell us our own eyes and mind are deceiving us. Experts have made a living off being wrong about things.
[Verizon LG G3] Wot-75:
What Seeder settings is everyone running?
[Verizon LG G3] truent:
Aggressive, everything on. I don't think it does much to be honest.. but until they fix the launcher.. I wouldn't mind throwing whatever I can at it. For me, everything's good..but there's a definite loading lag when in the app drawer (the first time in it) or tapatalk (sometimes).. but the launcher home pages I'm all good..
[Verizon LG G3] jackdubl:
I've tried it on two phones and... I could find no difference that it made.
[Verizon LG G3] johnciaccio:
Disabling the Amazon apps fixed my lag issues.

Btw. Verizon puts that crap on their phones not LG so you can thank Verizon for the lag.

I have noticed while entering text in the text box in these forums that it does not update the typing.until I click back on the text box. Anyone else get that? Chrome BTW..
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I've tried entropy generators in the past before I knew more about the subject and never saw a difference. This is programming, not magic. We know what Seeder does and we know how android works
[Verizon LG G3] SJUnion:
No problem Bob, and I understand where your coming from. Thanks for inserting logical analysis into this discussion, and for sharing what is known and understood about this apk.

Does that mean I will stop using it? No, because it works for me. Do I encourage others to try it? Yes, for the same reason. Do I accept that there are many that wouldn't even glance at this because its not supposed to work?...Yes. No big, I'm not the developer.

Afterthoughts..

From what I can glean I think this is what we may be seeing here - "I've played with CPU frequency governors in the past. Perception of lag is affected greatly by this."

Can we do this currently? I mean change CPU frequencies without an unlocked boot-loader and a custom ROM?
[Verizon LG G3] johnciaccio:
I just wonder how all this is affecting your battery life. Has anyone done any research into how these effect wake time and battery performance? Seems to be the idea is if you keep the cpu a bit active you get better performance? It seems to me that if that is the case then a less aggressive cpu governor would have the same or better effect on reducing lag. At least that is was I perceive after reading about entropy regarding cpu and different platforms. Linux and windows generate random numbers differently.

Guys!

I need your help!

I have a Razr Maxx XT910 retail running JB 4.1.2, I want to install the kitkat custom rom on it, so somewhere i read that i need to first root the phone, then install custom recovery CWM, then go for kitkat.

I'm stuck on the first step, Rooting :(

I have tried the method which includes Oracle VM VirtualBox and the JB_bionic.ova file. does not work. i tried more than 10 times and after rebooting it says update the su binary(super user update). I guess it means my phone is not actually rooted.

What should i do to get the kitkat? :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanujar:
Hello,

I recently began to get the Low Memory warning and decided to use Link2SD as I had used it on many phones before.

I used EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition with my SD connected to the computer via a card reader. I created an ext2 partition following instructions form another thread, but my phone says my SD is blank.

Another post told me to create the 2nd partition too as FAT32, but my phone only detects the 2nd partition.

Some forums told that the stock ROM does not support ext file formats so I would have to flash a custom ROM or Kernel.

IS there ANY way to do this without flashing anything? If not, what should I do?

I appreciate any help.

PS: I am using a Sony Erricson Xperia X10i with Stock upgraded 2.3 ROM.

Hello guys!

I have a Problem. I want to Set my Galaxy S5 in Monitor Mode With Reaver and bcmon. Or give it other ways to Check my wlan with aircrack - ng or something???

THANKS!!!:)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The S5 is a new model and more to the point uses a newer and unsupported Broadcom chipset. If you read the reaver, bcmon, et cetera threads you would know that they don't work on the S5.

Until someone figures out how to interface with the newer chipset, it's simply not going to work on the S5.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHood31m:
Do u Think that it gives newer apps that how Works on galaxy s5 ...Backtrack or Kali Linux with the right Kernel? ?? Thx
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You need the wifi chipset to operate in promiscious mode to monitor. Where else would you get the packet envelopes? It's difficult to imagine how any app would do so without the Broadcom chip set to Promiscious mode.

Yes,Cloudy Flex 2.5 and 7 Mod. You can check my video on youtube. Search : LG G2 Battery test with CLF 2.5.

Everything is perfect at the beginning, but now i change my mind. I think that 7 Mod isn't good for CloudyFlex 2.5.

My battery is perfect, yes, but i have some troubles. For example; reboot abruptly, freezing and camera fails (only HDR mod)

Now, i will try only alone CloudyFlex 2.5.

Information:

We do not use any other team's device trees, kernels, vendors, or anything else.

The audio/display/media HALs (drivers) are straight AOSP ones, this ROM uses the same drivers like Hammerhead (Nexus 5) does.

The Find7a and Find7s devices are enabled on EOS without the use of any QCOM_HARDWARE or QCOM_BSP (CAF) flags, meaning our trees can be used to build pure AOSP without any modifications (except for a few in build).

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jiffy1080:
You ain't kidding? [emoji12] I know that, but the blobs that the camera uses aren't the app. Omni, PA, and CM use the Oppo blobs for example. It makes the camera perform just as good as when using Color OS minus the gimmicks.

Quick question. My 64gb micro SD will not mount on this ROM. Is there anything I am missing? I attempted to take a log but it wasn't showing anything. Clean install, wiped everything but external SD. Also I'm formatted as exfat if that matters.

Other than this, this is the fastest feeling ROM I've had on this phone. I've jumped back to DU for the moment though.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Doomboss:
I was checking github one day and i saw the repository for both Find 7a and Find 7, so i knew you guys will post a rom very soon ;);):p Gonna wait for the Find 7 version :laugh::laugh: Thank you for the rom in advance ;)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] RaymanFX:
If you're feeling adventurous, you can download find7(s) builds at downloads.codefi.re/teameos/nightlies/OPPO/find7 .

Be aware those are alpha builds right now, but can be used as daily drivers (I run find7s nightly builds on my device, too, obviously).

Just two little issues left on find7(s): 1) performance is a little worse than find7a builds (will be fixed soon though) and 2) the skyline notification bar does not work at the moment.

Also, any other issues you might encounter on other ROMs, like BSOD's or anything won't be present on EOS, since I am using my own drivers and sources.

Glad you like my work :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] RaymanFX:
Hey, I somehow missed your pst yesterday, sorry for that.

Could you please try to

fastboot flash boot <boot.img>

the attached boot.img and see if your MicroSD gets mounted ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jiffy1080:
All good. I'll back up my current and try when I get home in a few hours. I'll edit this after I've tried it.

EDIT: I flashed it in fastboot but no dice. I went ahead and erased the cache in fastboot as well but it still didn't work.Logs don't seem to be catching anything still. It is like nothing is happening but I do get a brief pop up in the status bar stating that it is preparing the SD card. Anyone else having this issue?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] benjmiester:
I just flashed this ROM yesterday, noticed I'm not getting sound when making calls. Everything else seemsnok, but no sound when calling, but I do get quiet sound from speaker using speakerphone but of course no mic when using speaker. Latest nightly on find 7a us ver, on T-Mobile.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] RaymanFX:
Hmm that sounds odd..

Did you try a FAT/ext4 formatted card?

My kernel has exfat support built in, so the issue must be related to userspace/vold.

Could you please grab a logcat while inserting the card?

adb logcat &> sdcard_fail

The issue must be on your side, I had people test this ROM before I released it (and also tested it myself of course).

I do get clear and loud output during calls just fine.

This sounds like a speaker calibration issue to me.. did you dirty flash my ROM or did you perform a clean flash?

I recommend wiping everything and try again.

If the issue still persists, please grab a logcat, instructions are above.

Also, the no-mic-on-speaker shoud be fixed in the next nightly along with other fixed, and it has a Torch app built in.

I think I clean installed. Since I'm new to the find 7, I wipe cache dalvik system and data right? I noticed the standard wipe doesn't wipe system so I did advanced and get it all. Do I need to go stock again, and leave system when flashing?
