Which memory?

RAM? Do you mean I will have 0 MB of RAM left if use 16MB Page mode?

Or are you refering to my Apps occupying the Flash memory?

If you are refering to Apps, can restoring from backup helps?

Can I also restore backup from AKU2 to AKU3.2?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vapor:
Hi all

I have just successfully (I think), increased the page pool to 8MB on an AKU2.x ROM. My question is, can I do such a thing on a 2.x ROM or is this only for the 3.x ROMs? Also, should I install this new ROM, can I just use SPB Backup to restore all my settings and programs onto the device or should I reinstall from scratch? They are both effectively the same ROMs, besides the change in page pool.

Any comments?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
I tried this too on my QTEK ROM AKU2 and I used the same settings as described. I did notice the increased performance. I don't know the effect on restoring from SPB Backup though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stjoemail:
Vapor,

Have you managed to just restore from the backup file? or need to install from the scratch?

Did you notice speed improvement on AKU2.X with increasing page pool?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vapor:
I installed from scratch as I did not want to mess up the device and so far, I have definitely noticed the speed improvement with my AKU2.X ROMs. Don't forget to use the other registry tweaks as well such as increase in glyph cache to further get your performance boost. Am so in love with my phone now :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stjoemail:
I did change the pagepool to 8MB, but I noticed that the benchmark index using SK Tools did not change before and after using the ROM with the increased pagepool

With AKU2.0 4MB pagepool, index showed 222.62

After change the ROM with AKU2.0 8MB pagepool, index showed 222.42

Anything I missed out or the increased speed is nothing to do with index benchmark?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stjoemail:
Actually to get 8MB pagepool, should we change the byte 48 to 80 or 88?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vapor:
I do not think the speed would increase but the cache does and this allows the phone to function much faster than before.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] 2k1:
I did a 00 01... I think this should give me 16mb page pool... but i left with 18MB ram after a clean reset...

I think i want to do a 12mb page pool, 12 mb should be C0 00 issit? Just want to confirm.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyFow89:
I have an l900 (Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2) with Philz touch 6 recovery. I have tried several different firmwares, including but not limited to Cyanogenmod 11, the stock firmware, and Sprint Kit-Kat. Attempting to install the zip(s) from recovery invariably results in "Installation started...Installation aborted" with no further explanation. I have not tried a sideload as I don't know how to get my computer to recognize the phone while it's in recovery mode (although I do have apk installed, and have successfully used it on a different phone while it was booted).

The phone currently has no working firmware. I got Cyanogenmod to install at one point (I don't remember how, or which version. This has been quite the process) but it wouldn't boot. It just stayed at the loading screen forever.

What can I do?

Hi!

If you read the requirements in the opening post, unlocked bootloader is one of them. Generally you can not flash custom roms without an unlocked bootloader on most devices.

Have you tried this guide to unlock bootloader?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gulfstream 650:
Is there a Kit Kat ROM that is functional and stable enough for an every day driver? I'm currently running a 4.3 ROM that is rock stable but have KK on my Nexus 7 and would like to make the plunge on the N2. Looking through the threads for the KK ROMS leads me to believe that there's still a lot of problems with KK and the N2...what you say?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
I went back to 4.3 after being on 4.4.2

There are just too many things wrong with it in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
What we're your issues? I have been on stock rooted ND7 for over 2 months now with not one issue..

If you have an issue you can't get past just post here or in the Stock ND7 thread and I or someone else will be able to help/guide you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Easy E:
Same here....all's good on 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sadamahan:
My phone was fine for a couple of weeks after the upgrade to ND7. Everything changed the moment I used maps. When I launched Maps, I was asked to turn off the power saving mode and switch to a different setting that downloads a location based file periodically but provides more accuracy in maps. That was the end of it: since then, my phone became less responsive and Pandora and Amazon Kindle audio books started skipping. I would not live with it and had to turn back to MJ9 stock.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sadamahan:
I believe I solved this: bad radio firmware download and mismatch on MD5.

I flashed 4.4.2 again and time will tell. So far everything is going well.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangcla:
I was wondering whether anyone has been able to successfully disable lockscreen security when VPN profiles are created.

I tried to edit locksettings.db but I can't seem to access it on my phone - SQLite Manager crashes and there are seemingly no strings inside the database file.

Alternatively, are there any apps which I can use to connect to a VPN profile, thus keeping it separate from the system? (although not preferred)

Hi I have kitkat ROM in t211 tab, i want to switch back to jelly bean, is it possible?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynroid:
Use ODIN to flash back JB the original firmware can be found here at www.sammobile.com for SM-T211 under firmware
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abart83:
i did but after reboot it is stuck on Samsung logo i dont know what next i need to do ..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbiNpogi:
Maybe you unticked, ticked the wrong boxes, or put the file in the wrong place? But i think odin will check the file if its not for that place.

did you get yhe right file for your tab 3 model?

take a look st this:

http://androidcentral.us/2014/02/how-to-flash-firmware-using-odin-samsung-devices/

Is your tab rooted? Maybe its better flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm through odin, then flash phil's custom touch recovery. Look for universal rooter and flash through the custom recovery. Then find the best custom rom that fits u and your tab model of course. Then flash it through phil's recovery.

if you dont know how to go to recovery:

Hold down power button+volume up+menu button

to go to odin recovery:

Hold down power+volume down+menu button

I hope this helps

[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
I'm a current Evo Lte user. I have never used an LG phone but the G3 looks amazing! Should I get it? I'm really need to know how well it's working for you guys.. Anyone disappointed with it?
[Sprint LG G3] fgcchevy:
My first lg phone also, coming from a s3, I'm very happy with this device!

Sent from my Gunmetal Lg G3
[Sprint LG G3] GuestK0087:
Also an EVO user (still use as WiFi device) and I recognize you from those forums. I highly recommend this device! Gave up my Nexus 5 for it and absolutely no regrets. IMHO, the best device currently available.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Hey thanks for recognizing.. lol. Well in all honesty I really believe all the hype about the G3, but I'm also considering the M8 cause it's closer to what I'm accustomed to. I guess I'm just hesitant to move on to something different. Also I'm concerned about the reported lag and heating up on the G3...
[Sprint LG G3] LymeWire:
I still like my HTC One M8 more but I've always been an HTC fan myself
[Sprint LG G3] haoleflip:
Like someone mentioned above, I was a long-time Galaxy S fan. I had every one from the Fascinate to the S4. My first LG phone was the G2, which I got on a whim because my S4 broke. Let's just say I loved the G2 so much that I HAD to get the G3. :)

The only downer for me is that there is no root yet, but of course that will come with time. The problems you mentioned above, I don't experience myself, but root will fix a lot of it. The dev in charge is going through some life problems atm, so we have to wait. I am definitely patient though. It's like waiting for Christmas!
[Sprint LG G3] GuestK0087:
Personally, I have zero heat issues but I don't game other than solitare. As far as lag goes, I'm still in disbelief because I have not experienced that either. Enable dev options, set animations to .5. I had used Nova for a week and then switched back to stock. In my opinion, lag is a myth. Possibly on the 16/2 models it may exist but this is much faster than my Nexus was.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Thanks for the feedback guys.. much appreciated. I'll let you know if I get it. (Most likely I will). Oh, another thing, is it safe to buy from either Amazon or bestbuy? Only cost 100$..
[Sprint LG G3] haoleflip:
I'm actually an avid gamer. My phone gets a little warm after a while, but not warmer than what I'd expect from a 2.5ghz, 3GB RAM beast lol it's not like super hot though, like people have been saying. I have even played while the phone is charging. It doesn't get extremely hot at all. The quad HD display is absolutely beautiful for gaming and even videos, too.

I'd say it would be OK. Is it $100 with renewal of contract?
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
$100 with 2 year extension..
[Sprint LG G3] haoleflip:
That's really up to you then. I personally hate renewing contracts lol, but I'm guessing you'll probably have to do the same for the M8?
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Yup.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
I know this would probably require root or something but I'm curious to know if there's a way to force the G3 to stay on LTE signal??
[Sprint LG G3] thunder1979:
I got mine for $100 on contract from Best Buy. No problems. It was the price that drew me in. It's pretty much impulse buy territory. I have 5 lines on the ED1500 family plan and Framily would actually cost me significantly more because everyone on the plan is a high data user. So to me, if I'm happy with the service and don't plan on leaving, what sense does it make to switch to a more expensive plan where I pay the full price of the phone over 24 installments when I can get it subsidized and only pay $100 once.

Also, my co-worker and fiance had Evo LTEs. I guess our area has a lot of band 41 and Sprint Spark flies. I have seen upwards of 70 Mbps. I get +50 Mbps at my desk at work in Addison, Texas. After seeing my speed tests my co-worker picked up a G3 at lunch one day and has been blown away. He would previously get less than 1 Mbps with his Evo LTE at work. The best part is shutting up all the Sprint haters when we compare speed test results. AT&T, lucky to get over 15 Mbps. Verizon, 8-10 Mbps. T-Mobile is nigh unusable. I used to be embarrassed, but now I can see where Sprint's network vision investment with my own eyes and it's glorious.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
I want to pull the trigger on the G3 but for some reason I keep pondering the M8... Damn! Getting a new phone is like buying a house...lol! But I'm almost certain that I can't go wrong with either phone.. It's just a tough decision... Could use some more feedback from those that have used both..thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] dakoellis:
You could force LTE (not sure exactly how to do it, but it would likely require the right dialer code and the MSL) but you wouldn't be able to get phone calls since there's no VoLTE
[Sprint LG G3] thunderwagn:
I still can't for the life of me understand all the m8 hype. I've seen so many blogs and posts about the "premium build".... Just because it's a metal shell does not mean premium, or great build quality in my book. I was pretty unimpressed when I actually tested one out. It's like a tin can wrapped around a piece of glass. To me the build quality was crap the way the shell wraps the glass bezel. This is in the g3 forum so I don't feel bad dissing the m8￼￼
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Your opinion is respected but I'm more concerned with how the phones actually work. And I've heard that the M8 is probably the smoothest out there.. and I'm very use to HTC phones so that's why I'm maybe still considering it. But the G3 looks a beast, no doubt about that..
[Sprint LG G3] thunderwagn:
So far I've been very pleased with the LG g3. I've had zero issues. Performance for me has been great. The screen looks fantastic and battery life has been outstanding. You have the ability to remove most of the bloat, and the camera is excellent. Build quality is nice and solid, and I liked the striped down ui. 5.5 screen is really easily handled as well by design.

The last few years I've had HTC and Samsung so LG is a welcomed change ?
[Sprint LG G3] jmkarnai01:
So here are phones... Hero, evo 3d and the evo LTE. As you can see it was HTC all the way. Got this phone 3 weeks ago, picked up my evo twice and think ugh, so small and slow........why am I even?! I've now seen you and a small handful of us from the LTE. Usually don't say much, just listen so to speak and I would not go back, get the m8 or any device besides this. It's like the power of 3 lte's and has a great camera.

Not my say in it, but I have not regretted it at all! :beer:
[Sprint LG G3] jph8tr:
I own the G3, wife has a GS5 and close friend and neighbor has the M8. Can't go wrong with either device. I was also on the fence between the M8 and G3. For me, since I use a case, the build quality (as in hand feel) isn't much of a deciding factor. The slight issue here with the M8 based on the neighbors experience is that it does seem to scratch moderately easily if you don't use a case and once scratched up there's no easy way to buy another back panel. Live with it. If you like to listen to music with your phone and find ear-buds or small BT speakers inconvenient, the decisions a no brainer. The Boom sound speakers are clearly superior to anything out there. They are not better sounding than a cheap pair of earbuds or a $50+ BT speaker. For notifications, ringtones, etc., the G3 is about as loud, the SG5 a bit quieter. Screen quality is surprisingly similar, I don't see a huge improvement going from 1080P to QHD. Because of design, the G3's screen feels much larger in comparison to the M8 than .5". The SG5's screen feels bigger than the M8 and the difference is only .1". It's due to those huge bezels top and bottom that house the speakers, I guess, The 2 issues that made the difference for me are camera and the removable battery. After a bit of use, the camera on the M8 is not up to par with either the SG5 or the G3. It's slower to start and slower to shoot., It's "utrapixel" design should give better low light performance, but it doesn't. It will blow the LTEvo's camera away though (I owned that phone, and it's my son's now). When I bought the LTEvo I though not having an easily replaceable battery was going to be fine and regretted that decision. Using a battery pack to charge the device is not as convenient or as cheap as having a easily replaceable battery. Having to do surgery to replace a worn out low charging battery isn't fun either as I had to do with the LTEvo. According to reviewers, the M8 is supposed to have a massive battery life advantage over the G3, but that hasn't been my experience at all. The G3 lasts me a whole day unless I let my son game on it for several hours, but the M8 wouldn't survive that either. Since the screen is such a big power draw, it's possible that if you game or web surf a lot the M8 will last longer. FWIW, my G3 seems to go a little further than my wife's SG5 on average. The M8 is already rooted though I'm positive the Sprint G3 will have root soon. I would guess that the M8 will always have bigger Dev participation than the G3. For me, the almost no bezel design, larger screen, camera and removable battery of the G3 won out over sound, all metal build and larger dev community of the M8. YMMV.

The funny thing is both phones could be improved (for me) with an omission. The G3 would be better with a 1080P screen (and killer battery life) and the M8 could be improved by replacing the gimmicky Ultrapixel camera with a standard 13-16 MP unit. At least neither feature gimmicks like all but useless heart rate monitors and fingerprint readers.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
I'm reading about a lot of problems and glitches and that keeping me from getting this phone... Problems with incoming calls, force closes on camera app, and others basic functions that don't seem to be working properly. It's this happening to everybody or are these few and far between?
[Sprint LG G3] bhint15:
Didnt read other post but the evo 4g lte is the phone that made me leave htc. I had a note 2 since launch and was nervous going to the g3. Overall im happy with the move but could have waited too. Im missing zerolemon battery and eventual root and i think ill be much happier with the g3.
[Sprint LG G3] thunderwagn:
Not had a single one of those issues.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
That's good to hear...
[Sprint LG G3] evancg:
I'm only a day and a half in, but no problems so far other than the compass is a little wonky (it points in the wrong direction, but if I'm traveling, the GPS follows me correctly). Other than that, I love the screen size and the software, and pictures taken with the camera look great (main reason I didn't go with an M8 - after having the HTC One M7, I couldn't handle another two years of lousy "ultrapixel" pictures).
[Sprint LG G3] IM0001:
I have to agree to a point. The EVO LTE was pretty bad after the JB 4.1 update which just had all sorts of issues, but once the Official HTC 4.3 Update came out, the phone became 10X more reliable and actually fun to use. (Heck Blinkfeed is something I cannot wait to get on the G3).

Right now I still use the EVO as my daily until we get root for the G3 as I really need tethering now that I have LTE towers near me, but the G3 is my first phone that isn't a HTC. The M7 looked great last year, the M8 just didn't call to me like the screen on the G3 did. Mainly I blame the tall narrow style with the huge black area below the screen that serves no purpose anymore.
[Sprint LG G3] :
+1 to this. Absolutely none of those issues here either. I'm fact, no issues at all.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
How's battery life been for you guys so far?
[Sprint LG G3] :
Mine has been decent. During the work week, I'm away from WiFi and bounce back and forth from 3g inside work and Spark LTE when outside the building. I easily get 15-16 hours with light to moderate use with 3-4 hours of SOT before I hit 20% which is when I usually go to bed and connect to charger. On weekends, when I'm home and on WiFi all day, I've been getting 5-6 hours SOT and 30-40% battery remaining when I turn in for the night.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Not bad at all...
[Sprint LG G3] leroybrute:
Since the op's other thread was closed, so the Sprint G3 forum will look as dead as it really is!

I got the black G3.

Or maybe the moderator is bored or had a bad day!?

I didn't break the law, I am the law! Ha
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
I've pretty much decided to get the G3, haven't done so because I've had to take care a few other things.. but I'm losing my enthusiasm reading about all these bugs and basic functions that haven't worked properly for some of you... Should I still consider the M8 maybe? Thanks..
[Sprint LG G3] thunderwagn:
No one but you can make the decision. Get the phone that makes you happy or the one you think will make you the happiest with the least issues. That said, no device is perfect but most seem to just see the negatives. That's what everyone dwells on. I bet there are far more folks with no issues that are totally pleased with the g3. I don't know why some gravitate towards the negative, but more people on just about anything seem to post more about what doesn't please them as opposed to what does. Also, those who are happy don't post or dwell on how pleased they are with the device.

You seem to have been up in the air on the two devices from the beginning. You may have to change your mindset a bit. Granted is a big decision but at the point you're at now, if either device you choose has a single issue you will have regret.

Also keep in mind that a lot of issues are user related...
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
You're so right. I've given this too much thought. The thing is I want to make the best purchase possible cause I'm not into trying one out and then exchanging it to try another. Too much hassle for me and I don't have time for that. Unless I get a device that obviously faulty... But in the end, I'm sure that whatever phone I decide to get will be better than what I have now... Thanks for your input.. Hope you're enjoying yours...
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
That's what you go to the store for and play with the phone's for a bit that's what i do. I would go to the store and be there for about an hour or more playing with the phone until I'm ready to make my decision it's no bueno asking for help as to everyone has their own taste in devices.
[Sprint LG G3] durandetto:
I was an HTC guy myself till the s4. Hero, Evo, evo 3d, evo lte. After switching away I wouldn't even think about going back. Now it's a battle between Samsung and LG. Went from s4 to g2 to s5 to g3. In my eyes Samsung and LG are the top dogs now. Just wish the development community was like the og evo days.
