[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
A friend saw my Samsung Note 3 performance & asked if I could do anything for her Razr M.

System - 98..7.XT905.Retail.en.au

Android version - 4.1.2

I haven't rooted a Moto before so I did some reading - seems very different to Samsung methods and also seems to have far more ways to do it and also, the thing which gives me pause, a wider variety of things to go wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am not afraid of risking my phone - I have bricked my S3 and my Note 3 quite a few times in searching for performance and function.

But this is someone else's phone and she gave it to me for a day!!!

So, given all she really wants is better performance, I'd appreciate any advice on what I should tackle.

Some Q's... (as in point me to threads - I can read and work things out but some pointers on where to look can save me having to read all the threads in all the forums for a phone I will probably never touch again)

1. How do I protect against bricking? i.e. what is the standard way to reflash a stock ROM if things go wrong?

2. Is there a Moto repository for stock ROMs? Sammy has sammobile.com where all new releases (and old) are available for DL - does Motorola have similar or is it just Google and hope? :D

3. What level do I need to go to just to give better performance? (e.g. on my Note I did a lot of debloating to improve things, but that came after root, kernel and custom recovery so I could remove system apps etc.) Do I need to unlock BL or just root and install a custom ROM?

4. At first glance there doesn't seem to be many custom variations of the stock ROM, mostly CM and AOSP types. I am not sure how different that would make her phone to use, so I am assuming I'd be better sticking with a stock-customised ROM - is that a correct assumption?

Thanks for any assistance... :D
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahimali:
Stock ROM repository for XT905 -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=20

You should be able to use towelroot to root it.

Can't help much further since I have XT907 :)

Edit: You could try freezing some unneeded bloatware (I know there's A LOT of that on the stock ROM for my phone) to free up some memory improve performance and conserve battery
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Thanks for the help. I'm learning... I gave her phone back with just a few tweaks and will get it back when I am confident I can unbrick anything that might go wrong.

In the Sammy world, freezing apps requires root - same in the Moto-world?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahimali:
Root will be required for freezing system apps, not for users apps. Rooting should be fairly simple (hopefully). Install, supersu from the playstore, have data/wi-fi internet connectivity, install towelroot and use that to get root.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Don't let her update it the latest update breaks root. Hopefully she is on kitkat and that is why her phone is performing poorly. Root with towel root then run motoapkakypse.apk to unlock the boot loader. Now honestly there aren't any Roms I'd call a daily driver yet with the kitkat kernel so you'll have to downgrade to the jellybean kernel and install one of the top 3 or 4 Roms... I'm still on stock I found that location services and a few wake locks were the problems and fixed them with an app called app ops

This is a possible solution to block ads, even on 4.4.4 without root needed. Based on AdblockPlus you even can block ads on mobile data.

This was a huge help for me, because I do not want to root my Moto X and was searching for a working possibility to get rid of annoying ads and save bandwidth.

Credits go to phazey12

Instuctions how to enable adblocking on mobile data, can be found in his Thread: How-To Adblock Without Rooting (mobile data adblock working)

[General Questions and Answers] lordgregoire:
Hey y'all.

I have a small problem with my Memopad 8 (ME181) that runs on KitKat. I need to run an app full-screen (so without the system bar), without being able to exit or use any other app. So not immersive mode, because that allows the user still to exit the app.

There are 2 great apps (Full!Screen and another one) that perfectly perform this request, but they don't support KitKat. I rooted the device, but still it didn't work.

It's for my business in which I promote products and I don't want users to go on internet, use other apps etc. Because of it's price and performance, the ME181 is really the only tablet I can use.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!﻿

Hi all,

My power button seemed to have become very unresponsive overnight. Not sure what happened.

When clicked, the screen would not react to either switching on or off. This would continue for sometime before it starts reacting again.

Only noticed this problem today.

The phone is rooted, but no tweaks or other things done.

I would appreciate any assistance and suggestions on this. Thank you!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subwoffer13:
Tap on screen unresponsive also?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
If it doesn't work itself out, try doing a hard reset on your phone if you can. (it may not work because you need to use the power button to do it) If its a software issue I'm sure re-flashing the firmware should fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Colton127:
The Note 4 introduces many innovations in software that could easily be ported to Note 3, such as improvements with S-Pen software, general UI changes, and overall a fresh, new software.

We have the Galaxy S5 ROM (with ported s-pen features from n3 rom) that runs perfectly fine, camera and browser and all. It would seem feasible that the Note 4 ROM can easily be ported to the Note 3, keeping intact many features once unique to the Note 4.

Do you think we'll see a note 4 ROM on note 3?

What features unique to the Note 4 would you like to see ported, specifically?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dhruva7:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] tomxass:

Anything that we see in the note 4 would be great such as the multi window features, smart select in the air command, it's snote and the wide selfie mode in camera.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dan-SRi:
Because there will be a note 4 port is the main reason I'm sticking with my note 3 and not getting the note 4. I still consider the 3 to be a beast! And with note 4 software, I just can't justify the upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AndroidGreg:
All I want is the ultra power saving mode to be ported and id be happy
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dodgebizkit:
To be fair even the note 2 is a powerful player - note 3 is not that much behind note 4... Add note 4 firmware and debloat a little as standard and you got a phone that has literally no difference except that you miss a little bit of camera quality... But then paying £600 to bump up 3mp isn't really justified... And the n3 camera rocks anyway :)

--------------------------------------------

[Galaxy Note 3 General] danktle:
I second the ultra power saving mode wanted on note 3. Really, you could do something similar with taker I suppose (someone probably already has a profile for it), but the one for the GS5 looks pretty dang slick.

I would like to see such a ROM, too. ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sacky73:
Even when compared to other phones which came out this year the Note 3 is still a monster so to me the upgrade to the Note 4 isn't a huge leap. A Note 4 ROM for the Note 3 is a much better option. Also think of this. Apple gives many of its previous phones as many of its newer features as possible when they do software updates. Why shouldn't Samsung or any other manufacturer do the same?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shayind4:
i Agree with you. It's only a matter of time before we port Note 4 to Note 3 ( a powerful phone).

I think Samsung is playing a game of number (customers) by not giving us Note 4 features.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Beefheart:
My Knox is at 0x0 so unless someone releases a Mobile Odin Pro flashable version of a Note 4 rom with an official kernel (which means waiting for official N9005 4.4.4) then this is going to pass me by. I only want certain features off the Note 4 anyway (S-Pen smart select being the main one ), so if they become available as mods as opposed to an entire ROM I will be happy.

The fact that this thread has become a place to whine about development rather than encourage it makes me sad, for all those of you complaining about development, there is a sprint port of 4.4.4 which if you didnt know is needed for a n4 rom to be port it, that port has some vital bugs to clear out before they can proceed with porting the n4 rom, now if you really hate the wait, you coukd always start developing your own damn rom, on the mean time be quiet and please leave this thread as a news and encouraging thread as it was meant to be
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Meriem:
Note3 has some sensors more than Note2.

Note3 has slightly different hardware scheme than Note2.

Note3 rom developing is slower than Note2 because of hardware triggers and interrupt funtions requiring kernel level access.

So, provided that 4.4.4 is the minimum spec to start development, we all must wait.

My theory, for what it is worth, is that the Note 3 is aimed at business / corporation users. Most firms I have worked for aren't that bothered about continual updates. I'm also confident that the knox was implemented in the N3 for corporate security reasons, hence why a lot of N3 stuff gets complicated at the kernel stage.

All I know for a fact is that I will NEVER buy another Samdung phone. It's not the fault of any developers on here, I am grateful that someone actually gave us the means to make OUR phones OURS!! On top of this I get poor signal on the N3 (regardless of Baseband), my screen has developed 'rail tracks' on the top right despite NEVER being dropped and then there is the 0x1 issue. Samsung say they won't replace my screen due to 0x1. How the hell can echoe rom cause the screen to crack?? Buggered if I know!

Anyways, sorry for going off on one, but the Note 3 does not hold a place in my heart. My OLD SGS2, well that's another story!!

And a safestrap method for a N4 port? Com'on, ture android fanatics could care less about knox and have tripped there counters on their N3 last year. LOL. Lets just be patient. If YOU are not developing the damn thing then stop being pushy. Your that impatient? Then learn how to do it your self. As for those amazing Devs busting their stones to make this a reality.
