I'm looking at getting the Galaxy S5. I'm sick of Motorola being so restrictive with their bootloaders. Custom ROMs are the reason that I want an Android phone.
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
You think Samsung on VZW is any better? On Verizon right now, the M8 is probably the best bang-for-buck if you want a non-dev model that can be modded.
[RAZR HD General] cschuck320:
After looking into it some more, I realized that it was being restricted by Verizon. Honestly, I'm going to wait for the Nexus 6
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Droid Turbo or the corresponding GSM variant are starting to look real good.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Really liking the new Nexus 6 and the Droid Turbo, but...

Without a procedure for unlocking the phone, I'm not buying the Turbo. Without the Xposed Framework being updated to work with 5.0, I'm not buying the Nexus 6. I've become too dependent on root and Xposed (among other things root is good for) to go back to a locked down phone without rooting capabilities and no Xposed support. Also I'd much prefer the 5.2" screen to the 6" screen. Not ready to jump that high (yet...)

I am hoping a dev works his/her magic and figures out a way to unlock that bad boy Turbo before long. I've become so heavily dependent on Xposed to make this phone do every single thing I want it to that the RAM and processing power are sadly just not enough. And with the Turbo on 4.4.4, I could block (freeze, disable, whatever) the updates so as to not be bothered with 5.0 until Xposed is updated to run on it.

...plus I think the KitKat Moto built for this phone was half-a$$ thrown together, and the update did nothing to correct anything (made things worse from my own perspective). I may have to take the plunge into the world of Cyanogen or another custom ROM.

EDIT: Switched over to the new DirtyUnicorns ROM for my phone and everything is head and shoulders better than before - won't be updating to a new phone for a long long time now.

...instead of a new thread

It's been a roller-coaster trying to get good performance out of the XT926 and XT907. My wife and I picked them up about 6 months after they came out, and I've been following CM for most of that time. When my 907 died, she picked up a galaxy s6 edge. I kept the 926.

CM11 was great at first. Fast and snappy but missing some features and small issues. No big deal.

CM11 became bloated and slow leading up to the transition to LP. Battery life went down the drain. The phone was slower than dirt.

CM12 seemed great at first, but quickly deteriorated after a month or so of nightlies. I suffered through this for way too long before beginning the hunt for something new.

Dirty Unicorns 9.7 seemed like an improvement right after the first bootup but quickly revealed serious performance issues. I understand some older versions of Dirty Unicorns were great.

CM11 is still being maintained unofficially! Rejoice. Buttery smooth so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wish I'd bothered to look back at CM11 sooner... I wonder at what point in the last 6 months the unofficial updates were able to get it running well, again. I think I'll have this phone for quite a while longer.

I may be on a jbbl, but its gotten smoother since 12.1 kernel commits started coming in. At least thats my perception of things based off of my experience. And you nailed it right on the head with 12, thats why i downgraded to 11

Has anyone looked at the "Marshmallow" update for the XT926? Google pulls it up and there are a ridiculous number of surveys to fill out but ultimately it says to look around on xda dev.....yet I see nothing Marshmallow related here for our, now legacy, devices.

I'm an amatuer web designer, and so therefor I write HTML and other languages on my MDA. for anyone who has looked at HTML before, you will know that the language uses < and > a fair amount. guess which characters the MDA keyboard doesn't have...

what I'm looking for is an app that will program fn+g and fn+h (or any other keys, doesn't matter) to < and >. it might have been done before, might not be possible... but if anyone has a bit o' spare time and feels like having a go, I'd be very grateful :)

thanks in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vmiguel:
Hi there,

The solution for your problem is quite easy: look for the file "sym", in windows folder, opened it with a text editor, and you'll see a list of characters. The first in each line is the key name, and the default character for that key.

After that one, you can enter any character. When you're typing, you can scroll for the characters of each line using "sym" key.

One detail: as you want to add symbols that don't exist in the keyboard, you need to copy the "sym" file to the PC, edit it there, and then copy it back to the PPC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Akula_dude:
thanks! i'd forgotten all about the Sym key...

I edited sym.txt with Total Commander's text editor, and it didn't work... when I was copying back from sd card to Windows/ I noticed my file was 248bytes, and the original was 418bytes or something like that...

I did, however, use the PDA in question to do this... I think i'll now follow your advice and edit on my laptop :)

Mine also says 1258mb. SM-G800F rooted stock Rom
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leripe:
Well first of all, anything related to sizes in computer world is not exact since someone decided that 1mb is 1000kb not 1024kb. So if a device has example 1,5GB ram, it's never really exactly 1,5GB.

Then secondly the system reserves some amount of the ram to use, so a phone will never have 1,5GB free ram if it's marketed having 1,5GB ram.

Edit: Thirdly, you have to compare the ram usage to a same phone with same firmware, settings, apps and updates to get real information.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paffo:
[MENTION=4551463]leripe[/MENTION]: It only applies to data storage devices, not ram.

RAM: 1.5Gb = 1536 Mb = 1572864kb = 1610612736b

DISK: "1.5Gb" ~ 1500000000b ~ 1464844kb ~ 1431Mb < 1,4Gb

But rest is right. Most of the ram is reserved for other hardware, ex GPU.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshg@rackercenters.org:
At work I've got a wifi network consisting of 9 Aruba IAP105 access points in virtual controller mode.

Sitting at my desk, with a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 on 4.4.2 I've seen it roam between the nearest two access points 5 times in two minutes. This issue isn't affecting a Galaxy S3 on 4.3.

The two closest access points have significantly different signal strength - the phone should connect to the stronger one and hold that connection, but instead it's constantly switching which makes the wifi connection practically unusable.

I've worked with support on the access points and they've basically decided it's a device issue since the logs show the phone removing it's own association from each AP. That combined with the fact that the issue isn't earlier versions of Android, iPhones, or computers leads me to believe they're correct.

There's also a Motorola Droid Maxx that's definitely affected, as well as a handful of other Android devices I can see in the management console for the wifi network but haven't personally inspected.

I've seen lots of threads of similar issues, with the most common fix suggesting to change the channel of the access point which isn't applicable here since these access points automatically select the best channel available and negotiate with each other to avoid overlaps.

Any ideas I could try or suggestions? Thanks!

you need the Pro version to add multi-window otherwise you just get the ability to add pen-window functionality.

Open root explorer.

Copy the efs folder..and keep it with you..

Or there are many efs backup softwares..backup via them.

The efs folder has the key essential data of the phone..like the imei and stuff..

Thus if we flash again and again..there is a chance of losing the imei no, which can be restored by the efs backup.. :)

Many have to visit the SSC for the imei restorr thing..this saves your time..

One thing the manual doesn't tell you...

The volume slider tab might be vulnerable to less-than-careful extrication of the board. It's a pretty flimsy piece of plastic when you put pressure on it in a way it wasn't intended....

The other thing I found out is that a wedge shaped plastic tool for the case is a must. I bought one, and I am so, so glad I did. Otherwise you may break the tabs that hold your face plates on, or at least scratch 'em up pretty badly. A cuticle tool (for fingernails) might work pretty well if you don't want to spring (more), as long as the plastic isn't harder than the plastic of the face plates.
