If I delete the large number of empty files from the Windows folder in my experiment mentioned previously, I notice the boot time is faster but not as fast as before I started the experiment. If I do a full backup now (using Spb Backup), hard reset and then restore, I will see a better improvement in the boot time. Does this mean that the files are never destroyed after deletion in WM5? File Explorer still counts but hides the files? WM5 is a really puzzling OS...

Anyway my conclusion is, the more files you have in the Windows folder, the longer WM5 takes to boot up.

[Networking] Blitzdread:
Hi there,

first of all, If this post should not be here, I am sorry, but it is such a weird question I dont know where I must ask, since it's networking related.

Right now I am stuck with a Macbook, accesing internet via ethernet. Since I wanted to have connection in my N7, I set up my mac as a wifi router, not a single problem for now.

The thing is, I'd rather use my tablet than the computer, since all I do is watch movies/youtube/stuff like that. Is there a way I could control my mac with the N7?I tried Mac Remote, just in case, but I was not able to make it work. All programms like this involve being in the same wifi, so thats a great problem here.

thx.

P.S. I'm living in a dorm, so there is no way I can set up my own router and connect both devices on the same wifi.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
I have a few easy questions...

I have the One M7, and I hate the camera. The purple noise, and chromatic aberrations wreck 90% of the photos I have taken with this phone... I wanted to know if this has been fixed on the M8?

Do you guys miss Beats EQ? I never cared for Beats hardware, but the software EQ complimented my music nicely (Nothing I couldn't replicate with ViPER4Android though)... Does the HTC EQ compare to what "Beats" was able to do?

I'm looking to get this OR the LG G3; I'm turned off from the G3 for the speaker (both earpiece; and system speaker), and some reports of the heat generated by the phone due to the QHD display.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I've heard of the purple tint on the M7 camera shots, but not familiar with chromatic aberrations. The M8 doesn't have any purple tint that I can tell. You can look at the pictures thread in the General section for many example pics taken on the M8.

I didn't own the M7, but I came from the One X (EVITA) which also had Beats, and I don't miss it. The Boomsound EQ is very comparable. And as you mention, Beats isn't anything that can't be duplicated (or improved upon) with Viper4Android, DSP Manager, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
Thanks for the reply! I was looking at the photos while waiting for replies, and I really can't notice any of the negative features from the M7. I think I'm going to go ahead with this phone. Glad to be back on ARHD, too! :victory:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonecharger:
Hello, didn't know where else to post this, im having trouble getting my news feed from instagram to my blinkfeed. when i look under service and apps it is not there, even after trying to reinstall instagram. any advice? trying to do everything i can before trying to reflash the rom to see if it fixes it lol.

im on a clean install, s-on if any of that matters
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneytoo:
There seems to be Reading Mode on S5 (G900F, still on ANE4) (launches for example when creating shortcut to Settings activity using Nova launcher). I understand S4 had this but I didn't notice it in settings on S5. (Might be worth creating a mod if it would be working)

When I enable it for an app, I do not notice any difference. Is it working for you or is it just me (too much debloating)?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
Too bad no devs have interest in this subject. Reading Mode is not the only good feature which disappeared when moving from s4 to s5. There is also Quick Glance. The corresponding Air Wakeup on the S5 is a batery hog.

Don't connect your phone until and unless sus asks you to do that... Select your device then it will tell you when and how to connect your device.
[Sony Xperia C] ixyak:
i think it's HARD BRICKED, no boot logo, no three times vibration when trying to force turn off (POWER + VOL UP button), only red static light when charging both from pc or charger.

And sometimes i heard a sound when plugging the phone to pc, it's like my PC is trying to recognize the phone but always fail, i also heard the sound when trying to flash it using flashtool, Wmshua Perfect Brush, SUS, or PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
If you can see red light it means that your device is soft bricked

[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
UPDATE

UPDATE​

*Download wmshua

*Download ftf file of 16.0.B.2.13 or ftf file of 16.0.B.2.16(preferred)

(these files are specifically for Sony Xperia C C2305), If you have any other deivce, download their firmware files.

*Install Sony PC Companion

*Switch Off your mobile phone and get the Original USB Cable pf your device

*Open Wmshua and then Connect your device to PC pressing the Volume Down Key

*As Soon as connected Wmshua will install device drivers (taking about a minute), then go to "Flash" option and select the ftf file from there. And click on Start. It will take about 10 minutes or maybe more to flash the file. Wait Till It Completes.

*Now your device is ready on 16.0.B.2.13 or 16.0.B.2.16 whichever you selected

You can also Visit This Link : CLICK HERE

(If you are having problem with the language of wmshua the go to C:\Program Files(X86)\完美刷机 then rename the folder "language" to "language_x" language will become English)

[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
You have formatted the System instead of Data which you should not have done. If PC Companion and Wmshua are not helping then I guess you have to contact Sony Service Centre.

For future remember, only format Cache, Dalvik Cache, and the option "wipe data/ factory reset" and DO NOT format any other thing.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] klabit87:
I know I'm not a recognized developer but I would like to learn.

I am trying to make an NC6 base rom from a system dump of a friend of mine that has a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T which is the triband version.

He got the dump and I have it now.

I mounted it and extracted everything then put it in a flashable zip for the Sprint Galaxy s4.

I haven't removed anything and have only deodexed it.

When my friend flashes it everything seems good except for the fact that it never registers on the sprint network. I'm not sure what is going on

I'm hoping maybe somebody could shed some light on this for me.

All of the network settings are where they need to be.

Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
