Oh I think it'll be ready for the next version of android [emoji16]

[Moto X Q&A] Scalabis:
Yesterday I did switch to ART for testing. So far, I have not seen much difference.

I'll test for a couple of weeks and post my 2 cents! ;)
[Moto X Q&A] treyf711:
ART allegedely is better for your battery because It uses more than just the JIT compiler. It also takes a while for the apks to be reoptimized compared to how long Dalvik takes to optimize apks after some have been added or updated. The version that comes with 4.4.4 is good but ART likely won't be fully realized until Android L.
[Moto X Q&A] aledex:
Just a little piece of advice, since I just had to factory reset the phone: do not install Monument Valley under ART. It is not fully compatible, and I after an update I got stuck on the boot screen.
[Moto X Q&A] bmszabo:
Calendar lost is still an art problem - easy to solve with restart, but bugging..
[G3 Themes and Apps] autoprime:
Haven't seen these posted in here yet but maybe I missed it :confused:

Here are the stock G3 boot and shutdown animations. Includes circle case animations. No more carrier logo or silly animations.

Still need the STOCK LG startup/shutdown sounds if anyone has those. No carrier sounds!

You must be rooted to use these. Tested on a D851 but should work with all G3's.

Replace bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip in /system/media/ folder with files attached to this post.

Set file permissions on newly added animation files with chmod 644 or in a file editor like the pic below...

You can rename your current bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip files to say .zip.bak before adding the new animations so you have a backup.

Also on some carriers the default name for the animation may be named something else..

Sprint LS990 for example uses bootanimation_sprint.zip.. so apply logic there.

My current setup is the "debranded" startup animation with "voicesound_lg.ogg" used as the startup sound. I have left the default T-Mobile shutdown animation on.. no sound.

[G3 Themes and Apps] jaythenut:
nice thanks :D
[G3 Themes and Apps] screwyluie:
What about the boot sound? The att sound persists even though I changed the animation
[G3 Themes and Apps] elmerct:
You have to delete the poweron.ogg file to get rid of the Att sound.
[G3 Themes and Apps] tech_head:
Yeah, no more Verizon on boot!!!!
[G3 Themes and Apps] Swizzle82:
Here's the Lg power on sound. Name it PowerOn.ogg permissions rw-r-r in system/media/audio/ui

How did you change the sound?

[G3 Themes and Apps] Swizzle82:
Rename the existing PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.ogg.bak and add the one I posted above.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Filphil:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't hear anything when I set this up but can play it on my pc using MPC.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Swizzle82:
Did your phone have start-up sound to begin with? Which model do you own?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Filphil:
Well my solution was odd. I downloaded from my PC and put the file in to the downloads folder manually through USB. Then from the download folder you do the process outline above and it works fine.

When I downloaded from this site and did the process it didn't work as intended. :confused:

I'm slightly confused but I'm not complaining.
[G3 Themes and Apps] germao:
Does anyone know if in a future we install an ota update, what happens then? Will we preserve the stock boot animation or the older carrier one will be installed again? Not sure but ota updates are not complete roms, so we should preserve the animation we installed. Can anyone confirm this?
[G3 Themes and Apps] germao:
Nobody?
[G3 Themes and Apps] sc0ffield:
I downloaded this file but any of my players could play it. All others ogg files that I have are playing normally.

[G3 Themes and Apps] Swizzle82:
What model are you on? Did you name it with a capital "P" and "O"? Did you already have a PowerOn.ogg file? Could you post a screenshot of your ogg files?

Anyone know how to get the shutdownanimation working in the Verizon g3? Name is correct and permissions and even in correct directory and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
[G3 Themes and Apps] yuichigaichi:
it only work for LG G3?
[G3 Themes and Apps] randyrampage609:
Could you possibly post a tutorial for this I want to use the android l startup and shutdown animations that I downloaded and get rid of the Sprint ones but can't seem to do it the right way
[G3 Themes and Apps] ayohyejin:
WORKS!

It somewhat works for Verizon's G3 (VS985) but only for the startup (the stock LG startup is still present so I'm not sure if it's supposed to still pop up).

The shutdown doesn't work, though, so any help on that?
[G3 Themes and Apps] sinisin:
Im gonna do a write up in the Sprint Themes section. I've been tinkering with them since day one of root and like a genius I just started deleting stuff. I finally got it right this morning on mine. I rooted my friends G3 and got hers good right away tho. These are the stock anis in /system/media on Sprint, not those ugly yellow spark anis from /carrier/cust

I'm using these boot and shut downs and now they are working great.

Awesome, works for me on my D850, just one question, is there a LG shutdown sound? The start up one sounds like the one on all the LG ads I've ever heard... Sure I could just use the start up sound for the shutdown sound. But I wanna know if there is an actual LG shut down sound that is different to the start up one?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Johnnnnnnnnnny:
Hallo,

I have such quaint proble with CID lock. I have had CID unlocked MDA Vario, but I want to lock it for testing purposes of my ROMs. I have locked it by active pearl (my CID lock is WIZTMOC5), but it locked Device only for write different operators os.nb, but not IPL/SPL.

So, I have written cid.bin into my device from different machine and now I can flash only that known custom 1.5 ROM and ROMs who is possible to flash into the CID locked devices (only non edited ROMs without IPL/SPL)

I tryed to unlock it, but Active pearl write: The CID lock is: 11111111 (so It could be unlocked), then I tray unlock via aWizard and lokiwiz (both programs say: The unlock is done), but I still cant flash any original ROM.

Of course I have written the cid.bin what is backup to me active pearl.

Any way to unlock ? Do you can help me ?

EDIT: After flash 1.5 custom ROM I have spl 1.01 , but after I tryed to flash any original ROM, the SPL has changed into the 1.01.0000!! (very strange on my G3 device and 1.x ROM)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
I was hoping to use my Tab S 8.4 with One Note. However, the lag is terrible on typing! It doesn't matter if I use the Samsung keyboard or SwiftKey. They are both terrible, and it makes the program unusable. I get no lag in the app using my Nexus 5. Anyone see the same thing?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Just tried it on my 8.4 and there is quite a bit of lag when typing. Maybe it's not optimised for the Exynos processor?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
On my 10.5 I am getting some slight lag but by no means does it make the app unusable for me. This is using the stock keyboard. Of course OneNote is pretty much indexing everything as you type it so it will lag more than just typing in a Web forum or word processor.

One thing I have done is to disable DVFS using Wanam Xposed. This is something Samsung implements which throttles your CPU to save battery life. IMHO it is a dumb idea and causes problems so I turn it off. I've found this improves on keyboard lag system wide so I may be getting better results in OneNote than you are.

Swiftkey is a lagfest for me on any device so can't comment on that.

One other thought. If OneNote is optimized for lower resolution screens that may also be having an effect on how it performs on the Tab S. Just making guesses at this point.

Anyway, so on the 10.5 not perfect but quite usable.

[YOUTUBE]98XJd6I7cNA[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Works perfectly on my ASUS Transformer Infinity TF701. Another example of an app not jiving with the Exynos Processor. Abysmal.......
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Lol, you really need a new word :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
You guys keep blaming Exynos for everything. 5420 has been out on the N3, N10.1-14, Pros, and even Chromebook since last fall. If anything, I'd say a lot of the general performance issues being lamented have to do with the video drivers being used with the introduction of AMOLED. It's the only thing different h/w wise from the aforementioned devices.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkedadrenaline:
Everyone not happy with their Galaxy tab s, just return them... Then you

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
Wow, some serious fan boys in here. So you are able to type rapidly?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
Typing nonsense with one hand is not a real test.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
Here's my quick example video. You can see it really bad at the end. There is about a 2-3 second lag from me typing to it appearing on the screen. After a few sentences, the lag makes typing impossible. I need to be able to type quickly for taking notes at work.

Can one of you who is reporting no lag type a few sentences quickly, and post the video? I want to find out if I have a defective device.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hosh3ceetvM
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Are you rooted? Can you disable DVFS? I noticed that with DVFS enabled typing would bog down the more I typed. The Tab was throttling due to heating and with DVFS disabled this never happens. This isn't so much a hardware thing as a Touchwiz thing. It may be that typing makes it engage faster with the amoled screen than with other Touchwiz devices. My Note 3 is quite smooth. Have you tried an alternate launcher like Nova?

Or it could be you have a defective tab. Sadly there seems to have been a bad run. People who have had theirs replaced have been much more satisfied. I can't video actually typing sentences but will just try it and see what I think.

** UPDATE: Ok, just typed an entire paragraph in OneNote on my 10.5. Maybe a microsecond laggier than typing here but then again OneNote is indexing and this is not. Still, completely usable and no delays as you are experiencing.

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

Have you considered using THUMB KEYBOARD from the play store? It is free and a very fast, well conceived keyboard, especially for use with tablets and the autocorrect is second to none. Give that a try too.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Didn't you just say you experienced some lag. But it was useable?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Yes, perhaps a nanosecond but nothing like the 3 seconds the OP is experiencing. Imminently useable. I can see how in his use case there is a serious problem. There can be 100 reasons for that nanosecond lag other than the Exynos processor somehow being inadequate.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
It's not that the exynos is inadequate, it's that the OneNote app 'might' not be optimised properly for the exynos processor, which seems to be the case here. Obviously the exynos processor can handle an app like OneNote.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
For the OP he clearly has a serious problem. As configured with my 10.5 this is a non issue. If the suggestions I made are not of help to the OP I suggest he consider replacing his tablet with a newer production run model. 3 second input lag is an aberration and not acceptable.

P.S. Lack of OneNote optimization with Exynos may exist but since my experience is so superior to his it leads me to believe the issue is elsewhere. YMMV.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparhawk6:
I appreciate the suggestion, but disabling DVFS had no effect.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Hmm OK. Did you reboot after disabling? Unless you are having some weird conflict with another app you are using or something about your setup you shouldn't be getting the lag you are.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
This is not a well-loved app and apparently a recent version update pissed a lot of people off. I use S Note since Samsung released a Windows version because most of my "notes" are mobile>desktop not the other way around.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkedadrenaline:
Not about being a fan boy, just tired of reading the same thing in every thread. This tablet should have ZERO lag, it is a beast. The screen should NOT be yellowed/distorted at all or be anything except phenomenal. If it's not, then return it for a different one or a replacement.

Like a few have said, there was obviously a bad batch because a few are having issues which I personally wouldn't be satisfied with, BUT others are not experiencing them in the slightest.

If you would like video proof I can make a video when I get off, but I literally have ZERO lag anywhere in this tablet and the screen color is amazing(obviously you'd have to view the video on something other than your tab s for true color reference).

My bottom line is you shouldn't have to pay $600 for something and worry with these defects. There shouldn't even be threads created about it. Return or exchange it. /thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Barry, you are by far, the best poster on this forum. You're contributions are second to none. So much so, I look forward to each and every one of your posts. It's like reading scripture. ? [emoji41]
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Why do the haters always call you a fan boy just because you are happy with your device? What's stranger to me is someone who comes into the Tab S forum constantly talking about how much better some other device is than the Tab S. Oh well, haters gonna hate.

Inked, look at the marketplace and the reviews from the vast majority of retail owners and professional reviewers. They agree with us - this is a wonderful tablet. There aren't a lot of people complaining in this forum, there are a few people complaining a lot.

As far as OneNote I have no idea what problems people are having with a recent update but it works perfectly for me. I can't switch from OneNote. Have too much of a legacy commitment. The Windows app is just so robust.

Is 4.4.2 the latest firmware for 10.5 WiFi tab s?

I've read here a few times people talking about taking OTAs? I simply took it out of box and rooted, I was already on 4.4.2...maybe that's the culprit?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
There was a 40mb update recently for both tabs. The 10.5 got it first. Was a stability update which stayed at 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkedadrenaline:
OK. Maybe that's the differentiating factor. Unless it updated before I got it. I didn't take any update... And after reading thru pages of complaints I'm damn sure not taking one lol.

Mine updated automatically last night so I was a bit surpsised. I'm used to being prompted to proceed with such things :p . So it seems Snote stinks for many of us on our tablets? I should check it out and see if there's any lag over here.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
If you are rooted best way to get updates is by downloading Kies onto your Windows desktop and plugging in your tablet. If there is an update available it will run automatically with some prompts. This last update did improve things like video streaming. Just run it and reroot.

I'm using the stock keyboard and so far no lag within the OneNote app. I do see a little bit of a lag when typing in chrome. I'd change the browser but I'm synced with my desktop where chrome is great most of the time.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
I tested Onenote on my Tab S 8.4, which is quite laggy at opening apps (delays and sutterings), but didn't notice anything dramatic.

It's not perfect, there might be a quarter of a second lag when typing, but it's barely perceptible. the result is similar to what I can see in mitchellvii's video.

Edit: My tab is not rooted and didn't receive any update so far. I didn't turn off any service yet, and it runs T700XXU1ANF7.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Huh wonder why your tab lags opening apps? Mine isn't instant, just seems kinda normal. Have you tried Clean Master from the market? Excellent app to keep your memory cleared out.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Can't tell why, but it affected all of the Tab S 8.4 I checked, and was reported in multiple tests. It would be related to a TW poor optimization that hopefully will be software fixed in the future.

Globally, coming from an N7 2013 and a Note 8.0, I am not impressed with the performance feeling provided by the Tab S 8.4.

- Apps often open with a delay that can be over a second

- The apps opening and closing animation often suffers from suttering

- Performance in 3D games is poor, automatic settings pick average for the tablet (tested on Asphalt 8 and Riptide GP2)

- Scrolling and turning pages in Perfect Viewer is sluggish (not optimized for Exynos ?)

All together, even my rather old Note 8.0 feels smoother than my Tab S 8.4. And N7 2013 beats both flat out. I hope to see improvements with future software updates from Samsung, or that alternative roms will improve the situation.

Please note I am not talking pure performance here but "felt" performance. I didn't run benchmarks or measure which one completes actions faster, I am just reffering to perceived FPS and reactivity from different devices.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Ooooh......You're not going to enjoy what's coming. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Its hard for me to comment from personal experience on the 8.4 because I have the 10.5 and have none of those issues. However we have had many members reporting excellent performance from their 8.4s while a few others like yourself are having problems. There is evidence based upon faulty screens and case backs that some defective units made it into the field. If you read reviews from retail customers you get 95% glowing responses and 5% really having a bad experience as you are.

You said you tested multiple 8.4 units. Were these all in the same store? We had a poll in here with a pretty big response and about 2/3 felt there were not having a lag issue.

If I were you and having these issues I would exchange the tab preferably from a different store without the same manufacturing run.

** OK I've made a quick video of opening some apps from a cold start. To me this is quite fast and satisfactory.

[YOUTUBE]5Y2vUIGxJlY[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Thanks for your response. I have tested several tabs, all from the same store: 1 from their internet retail (this is a rather large European store) and 3 from local store. None of them was as smooth as my Nexus 7 or even my Note 8.0. Bad series ?

Unfortunately, changing for another store won't be easy: they won't reimburse in cash, if I return it I have to take something else in the same store.

After further playing around directly comparing my N7 and Tab S 8.4, the smoothness difference is obvious. Launching the same webpage on Chrome from closed application to fully loaded page is about 1 second faster on the N7, with a consistent high FPS when I can feel some suttering on the 8.4.

Other apps are not necessary longer to launch, but the smoothness easily makes up for it in the felt reactivity field.

I will try my luck in a different local store and try to test units from different retailers, but considering how most tests report similar issues, I don't set my expectations too high.
