Hello All,

I have HTC Pico (has 150 MB internal memory) and switched to ART running android 4.4.2. Now it has 11 MB free space with only user app as file manager.

I have deleted unwanted system apps (like gapps). Can we free up internal memory space without using memory increase script?

Thanks !
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sosukeaizen:
there is a option in cm11 roms that automatically set the internal memory script!

Howdy!

I'm using a Samsung Verizon Note 2 SCH-I605, rooted with Adams CASUAL tool (you can read all about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272066)

I'm still running the stock rom, I deleted the Verizon Bloatware crap, and now i'm having a repeat issue:

When the screen goes off, the GPS fix is lost. The only way i've found to bring it back is to turn it off, and turn it back on.

I've been using GPS toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en) to verify the GPS fix.

I think the next step is to unroot, run factory, and make one change at a time until I find the trouble maker, but I wanted to get your thoughts, opinions, or experience about or with this issue.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Quelto:
Hello,

my samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (p5210) for some reason reports various errors when I try to install custom ROM's using recovery menu. I already many of the ways of fixing these issues, Tried a few recovery menus, hard to find for this model as they are not officially supported. I'm currently downloading a stock ROM and I'm going to flash it usiing Odin.

Is it possible to bypass the recovery menu and flash a CUSTOM ROM (not a stock one) using Odin or some other program, connecting my tablet to pc in the bootloader mode?

There are a few posts regarding this issue but in every post people are getting answers where to get official stock firmware files for Odin. I want to flash a custom ROM that came in a .zip package.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rickyoon.vegas:
I honestly can't figure out which is better for the life of me.

Stock camera is awesome. But if only I am taking photos with shutter button. On screen button makes the camera focus again after initially locking focus with touch, although it remembers where to focus.

This may cause some lost moments due to delay in shutter speed.

Now, Google Camera, on the other hand, takes photos instantaneously. Much faster than stock camera from my observation. Lock focus with touch, then either on-screen or shutter button takes photos instantly. This makes me a very happy photographer.

But this might mean that I am losing out on Sony-powered enhancements they made for the stock camera, so I am doing various of tests to see which camera is superior.

As for now, both camera takes exceptional photos, but I can noticing differences in color, where Stock makes colors colder where Google makes it bit warmer.

Which camera do you guys prefer?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sravanz:
can you post some samples from both apps
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
For me stock all the way. I had a phone with very Shutter speed without focus before. Problem was half of my pictures came out blurry. I'd rather wait a milisec for the focus and have a sharp picture than hammering that button and hope for the best :P plus for me it's always really hard to keep the cam steady when pressing the touch button. As I said half my pictures came out blurry and out of focus with my sgs3. With the z3 every picture is perfect so far. Never had so much fun with a smartphone camera. And that because of the ergonomics and not because of megapixlz.

But why not have both apps side by side and use the one better suited for the situation?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sravanz:
Galaxy phones are the same i guess. I have an s5, previously moto x and iphone 5 user. Never had blur in my photos, but with galaxy s5 out of 10 i take 7 will be blurry but camera quality is really good if its not blurry on the s5 especially day light
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jellydonut:
Speaking of cameras, can you turn off the shutter sound in either of these camera apps?

I could turn it off on my old xperia acro s, but apparently Sony has decided this feature was too powerful for the z3 compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bäcker:
Sony stock cam offers "no sound" option in settings
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
The Sony camera on my Z3C has an option to disable sound.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bäcker:
yes, actually I was trying to say the same, just should have added the quotation marks or a dash right away :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
What settings are you guys using for the stock sony cam? I cant seem to get photos that are as sharp as I'd like. They look great on the z3c display, then i look at them on my laptop and am disappointed. Tried SA, manual, 8mp, 15mp, and all sorts of other settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
Haha ok. Sometimes it's hard to figure tone on the internet. :silly:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Scottland:
Last time I tried the Google Camera it didn't like the 2 stage shutter. I think Sony did a decent number on the Camera app, so will be using it for the time being.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SilencerRemix:
I am also using the default camera app. Its awesome!

I think the google camera needs a overhaul. Its good for just point and shoot but it lacks features. Lets hope Android L apis can help with this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] endlesstrail:
I figure I'll keep the stock camera as well as Google camera installed for different purposes. Stock camera for everything else, and Google camera for panoramas and photo spheres. Have not compared the difference in panorama shots between stock and google camera yet though.

Sorry, the menu is in German but you guys will probably understand what it means...there is no SOUND ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
This is quite weird since I have a "sound" option in the same menu as you posted.. What firmware are you on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] oTToToTenTanz:
Crazy...then I'd think its based on what country's firmware is installed...I'm from Germany and some users report (on older Sony xperia z's) that they can't disable the shutter sound.

What coutry are you from? Is there a way to get the camera app from another software? I heard there are also complications with DRM
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
Sweden :good:

Maybe with the

google camera app

you can switch off the sound

The DRM complications might relate to unlock/root where some lowlight functions get lost for good - but if rooting/unlocking isn't a matter of life and death I wouldn't do it until a safe method is found.

I'm a Google camera fanboy now. The stock app isn't consistent enough and too much time consuming. I like simplicity above the ultimate shot. Also like the photosphere ability. This way I can relive the moment in VR.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
(never used touchwiz before)

Maybe S-Pen menu won't appear?

What about multiple windows on a single screen?

etc.

How deeply touchwiz was integrated in Note 3 case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkain:
If you change your launcher - all TW funcionality: multiwindow, s-pen will work too :) I recommend google now launcher. Simple and fast :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
I use Nova now and I'm happy. But my phone is Nexus and I don't loose any phone's functionality with Nova, because Nexus phone doesn't have any.

Thanks for answer.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
I have a nexus 5 and note 3. Touchwiz is necessary for all major advertised features such as the multiwindow, spen window, ultra power saving mode etc. So yes without touchwiz you are losing a fundamental part of the phone. however, in my instance I run touchwiz and aosp roms on my note 3. I have duplicated many features that is touchwiz based on a stock android rom. It takes multiple apps and doesn't work exactly the same but does overall the same things. With the note 4 there are many more features in the Spen so you will be taking a bigger hit switching from touchwiz to stock android.

Edit: Also, the stock touchwiz camera is lost and A LOT of its features such as 4k video recording. and it seems the quality on the touchwiz cam is better than google or aosp camera. There are some close alternatives for the camera however.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Well... that pretty much answers my question.

Thanks.

Thanks!!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
care to elaborate
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
The topic is about using a custom launcher on the stock Note 4 ROM.

So all the features you mentioned (mukti window, spen, ultrapower saving etc) works perfectly fine with Nova launcher.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
Gotcha. I misunderstood your first post. When you referred to the "touchwiz ui" and how deeply touchwiz was integrated, I assumed you meant if you were to flash an aosp rom instead of a custom launcher :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shash747:
I broke the screen on my HTC One S recently - and am considering buying an M7 now.

I have budget constraints, and I am not willing to look at the following:

- Non-HTC handsets.

- 'Mini' variants - they only have 1 gig of RAM.

The M7 is obviously cheaper than the M8, and so I'm considering it strongly. However, it still isnt cheap enough for me.

eBay has it for as low as $345 - but that's it.

I haven't had any luck looking for cheaper variants. Where could I find them?

Please note: I would prefer to buy only New (and not used) units.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I think 345$ is probably the lowest price you'll find for a brand new M7. I paid it around 650-700$ last year so 345 is a good price imo. If buying from ebay, ask the seller to provide the IMEI# before buying so you can check if the IMEI is blacklisted. Blacklisted IMEI is a common problem when buying phones from ebay.

Hello, my rooted lg g pro with android 4.1.2 has leak dns How I should fix it?

More description:

My ISP blocked Facebook by dns blocking method, so then I ran hotspot-shield app can't access to Facebook, after many research I found the reason! It is dns leak (dns request does not send via vpn tunnel) issue So I try to find solution by google... but only one solution maybe work is dnsCrypt... Because hotspot-shield app work on my gf's phone(htc) properly! So I thought my phone dns leak can be fix by another solution.

Can anybody help me to fix dns leak on my phone?

Thnak you!
[Security Discussion] setmov:
Have you tried any other vpn? Or also maybe entering manually a vpn connection? Just to be clear, Hotspot Shield, leaks the dns and shows your real IP. By the way,it was never a secure service, and those that are thinking Hotspot Shield is protecting them are dead wrong!!! You can check ma claims on https://dnsleaktest.com/

I have attached a picture, but you have to really focus if you want to see it. It's on the lower side of the screen, just like the usual keyboard place.

I personally Prefer the use of Trickster MOD for kernel tuning. if you want to switch to using trickster i recommend removing built in kernel tweaking app if possible. I used rom toolbox's app manager to do so. Trickster can be found on Play Store or on xda.

For roms that support DoubleTap2Wake: make sure it is enabled and checked in Settings > Display and if using Trickster MOD under the "specific tab" tap on "Screen Wake Control" and set it to 1 for bottom half enable or 2 for fullscreen. Don't go any higher in number as it wont set anything. after your done tap on the checkmark at the top right to apply and save

For frequency changes to stick: In Trickster Mod, change to the frequency you want and tap on "Frequency Lock" to enable it and tap on the checkmark at the top right to apply and save

Notes::

This Kernel will only work on roms which use the latest most up to date kitkat source code for your phone and the N5 audio driver adaptation from dr87. I honestly dont plan on this changing at this time and please make sure you meet the requirements before saying this kernel does not work for you. Thanks and enjoy!!!
