I installed titanium backup & saw a feature to integrate update to ROM.

This will save user available space by replacing update with older version.

I tried to integrate chrome,drive,gmail,google +,play music google keyboard,newsstand,google search, text to speach engine,maps TalkBack,translate,YouTube etc(not play store or play services or any Motorola apps).

But I ended screwing android as in middle of integration process some app(com.gsm**** or similar stopped working).I cancelled process as it doesn't show any progress.Then rebooted after that I got same error again for some time ,google + didn't work properly,I was unable to login to play store with my email.

Good thing I did was making a backup in cwm recovery.When I restore full backup things were fine.

My question is which apps' update can be integrated into ROM safely.(& how to do that,I only know about titanium's option)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harsha4396:
If that's what happens when you yet to integrate an update into your ROM. Just convert the existing app to user app first update it and then turn it into a system app(for apks).. If not, first convert it into user app and then to system app(for apps updated from playstore)

Hi everyone,

I've been having some issues with my lg l9 II when I go into dev settings and activate ART, first, when it reboots, the bootscreen is very laggy, (i have a vodafone variant of the rom so it shows the vodafone logo animation), and the system itself is not as responsive and fluid as it's supposed to be, has anyone tried to activate ART here? If so, has it given you the same problems as me?

Howdy, I'm strongly debating getting the z3 as an upgrade from my Galaxy s3. I have my s3 rooted with all my apps backed up via TiBu. I know if you root the z3, you lose some of the camera features, so I'm curious about rooting it and then restoring it back to stock. I want to be able to root it so I can run my TiBu backups on it with all the data. If I do that, is there a way to restore the phone so that it's not rooted and has all the features back?

Thanks!

Currently no. You need to backup the TA partition first before unlocking the bootloader. But for that you need root. So you will have to wait for a root method that does not involve unlocking the bootloader.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DeathBoT:
Where as If I power off and power back on with the button. Its really fast, avoids the white HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Is there a reason for this? A way around it?

Thanks all
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Are you comparing simply pressing power to sleep and wake the phone to a full restart?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DeathBoT:
Here's what i'm doing. Sorry I should have given more info.

If I power down using the power menu option reboot, it then restarts the device however it doesn't "fastboot" it shuts down then brings up the white htc boot and the DEV jargon in red at the bottom, and the boot takes a REALLY long time.

If I power down using the power menu option Power Off, it shuts off quickly. Then when powering back on it skips the previous screen, fastbooting?, and shows the boot animation. This way is REALLY fast, nice for applying root things.

Just wondering if this has something to do with Xteneded settings? maybe SenseToolBox. While stock rooted, using standard power menu Reboot works great. fast booting past the dev screen.

However i'm on Nusense six ROM, I don't seem able to completely remove xteneded settings, I unchecked it from xposed, then hit uninstall, all settings remained enabled after 2 reboots. And it wanted setup again in xposed after the 3rd, seemingly to have re installed itself.

Hey everyone,

Back when I purchased my device I did not have a LTE option available for mobile data. It was only available via the 'secret menu 3485#*855#'.

Recently I managed to get it to work and have it as an option (via editing /system/build.prop), but there still is an issue: my selection will not save. This means that when I reboot my phone, it will go back again to GSM.

So I figured, maybe the LTEConfigs.apk has something to do with it. That and the .dex thingy.

I deleted them a while back while trying a different solution, and I'm wondering what would happen if I bring em back?

So basically, what do the files do?

Thanks.

Just recently, my phone (and my GF's) started looping randomly. It could be during standby, Netflix, anything. After hours troubleshooting (and well over 5 full erases), I discovered it was related when I had a non original battery on. It was strange, as it worked for months without a hitch. I tried multiple batteries, and they all led to bootlooping sooner or later. Common denominator is we installed latest Omega. But we both went back to stock via Odin flash, but the problem still persisted. Even tried switching kernels and playing with the voltages, rule out excessive voltage use or something, but nada. We have the W8 Canadian variant. any of you guys have had anything similar happen to you?

Hello,

i just got my hands on the Z3 Compact and took it out to test it on a sunny day.

Back home i noticed that the picture quality is really bad in auto mode!

I made a quick comparison picture to my old phone: a Xiaomi Mi2 (not the S Model) with 8m Camera.

The picture shows the text quality of the Xperia Z Ultra Power Pack which is the best example i can do now.

The automode settings are: ISO-800, F/2, 1/50 Sec, no flash

The Mi2 automode settings are: ISO-488, 1/16 Sec (no data on the F), no flash

Directlink:

http://abload.de/img/neuebitmapoksb8.png

And here the same with manual mode and a lower ISO (100 instead of 800 that was used in auto mode):

The complete settings were: ISO-100, F/2, 1/8 Sec, no flash

Directlink:

http://abload.de/img/dsc_0099emqqy.jpg

Heres another example of a picture i took when i was outside (without zoom, i just cut away some parts to make it smaller):

The automode settings here: ISO-50, F/2, 1/320sec, no flash

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Why bother so much about the auto mode? You can take such great pictures in manual mode when you play with the settings. In the end auto mode will never be great, because it does what it says: auto mode, it adjusts the settings to what it thinks is best in each situation.

Playing with the manual mode will also give you more knowledge of basic photography.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sravanz:
Auto mode will always be handy.. no one wants to mess with settings most of the times.. its a phone camera and if i want manual controls i would pick a dslr. Thats why iphone wins in camera department. Take it out and snap a pic instantly with great output. Even on my galaxy s5 i take pictures on auto and i havent seen anyone setting things up manually each and every time to take a damn photo
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
Auto mode uses a technique called oversampling to gather information with the 20MP sensor, then heavily processes the photo to whatever the software (Sony) decided was best (post-processing). The idea is you get the detail of a 20MP sensor, in a auto-corrected and down-sized 8MP resolution photo. Oversampling is also why the Z3 has a small amount of "lossless" zoom. (ever tried "zooming" with other phone cameras? It usually leaves you with a terrible blob of digital noise)

As with any automatic post-processing, there are pros and cons. The truth is, the software doesn't really know what you're taking a picture of, so it tries to give it's best guess on correcting exposure, colour, noise, etc. The result you're seeing in the auto-mode photo is a result of heavy post-processing (Noise Reduction), bad focus, and camera shake.

The reason your "manual" photo is better is because manual mode drops the post-processing. It also looks like you were able to hold the camera steadier for the manual shot.

"Auto" mode is far from perfect, but it will often save you more times than you know. Over time, you'll learn the strengths and weaknesses of "auto mode", and you'll know when you need to switch to Manual for the better shot. Auto mode can also be easily improved upon via software updates.

PS: A little trick I use to minimize camera shake while taking a photo is to set a quick 2 second self timer. This will allow you time to press the shutter button and then stabilize the phone for minimal "camera shake"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinky28:
I have read the z3 Compact camera is great, great, great...but yeah I have been grossly underwhelmed by the auto mode. The auto mode is THE mode...sure have a manual mode if you want...if you have time. But I use my phone for quick snaps...QUICK being the operative word. I want to pull it out aim and shoot. My iphone5 took very acceptable pictures. The z3 compact has shown me grainy, bland looking shots in auto.

I don't get why auto mode isn't the most important mode for designers. It's a phone...not a camera...so make the auto mode work
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crewville96:

Coming from 2 years on the iphone5...I was under the impression that camera technology was pretty well mastered across the board. iphone makes it look easy. There's even an annoying lag between pressing the button and the shot being taken on the Z3...what the hell is up with that?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmalayalee:
Well, my z3c is still on the way. I have a question. Will the 8MP pictures I take in Manual mode be oversampled as well?

Because the sensor is still 20MP and if I manually adjust it to take only 8MP pictures what advantage do I have in having a sensor that is 20MP? I never print photos. Only watch it on my phone, laptop or my LED tv which is 1080p and 50" screen. I don't want photos that are too big in file size unless it is benefiting me in some sense other than for the purpose of printing and viewing in very large resolutions. I see that oversampling in auto mode is benefiting from a 20MP sensor but is that the case if I take 8MP pics in manual mode?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
By selecting 8MP in manual mode, all you're doing is resizing the photo from 20MP (post processing). The sensor will always capture at its full resolution.

If you know you only want a 8MP photo, there is a small benefit in resizing the photo at the phone:

The first benefit is obviously file size, but before I get into the second reason, I need to explain something first: A picture that has been converted to JPG is considered to be post processed. The compression that the JPG engine performs means your image loses details and thus has been altered. I know I said above that Manual mode means the image isn't processed, but I really only said that for the sake of explaining things easier. The average user does not consider JPG compression as post processing and they probably don't care to know. The truth is, unless Sony allows us to capture images in RAW format, the act of converting all our images to JPG means our images are all being post processed whether we like it or not. The difference between manual and auto mode is really about "how much" post processing occurs. In manual, Sony is most likely just compressing to JPG (and probably lens distortion correction but I won't get into that now) , and not applying corrections like noise reduction.

As for how it may be beneficial to resize at the phone; JPG compression is usually the final step in post processing. So by resizing at the phone, the theory is the image is captured in RAW@20MP > resized to 8MP while still in RAW format > compressed to JPG.

This means you benefit from the photo being resized before it is "post processed". In theory, this method should leave you with a higher quality 8MP photo versus resizing from a computer. Resizing from a computer means you're applying post processing to an already "post processed" photo.

For the average user, 8MP is more than enough, however, this is not to say all phone cameras should come in 8MP. Keep in mind that there is a big difference between an image captured by a 8MP sensor vs being captured by a 20MP sensor and then resized to 8MP. The 20MP sensor can capture much more detail with proper/sufficient lighting.

[MENTION=271800]wooki[/MENTION] (OP):

Especially the first comparison "Xperia Z Ultra Power Pack", the one you made with the Z3C is nothing but blurred. So what is it you're trying to show/compare? I mean, yes, may the Z3C doesn't come with the best camera on the market, and yes, the "Auto mode" does not always provide the best results. Not really sure you're into photography or not, but what can be expected from a lens not even half the size of a fingernail? Not too much, right?! Get an SLR with decent lenses and a full frame sensor if you need more/better.

However, the attached fotos were one of the first ones I made with the Z3C (in Auto Mode) and think it's quite ok. No processing, just resized them.

I was comparing my Z3C with my old phone (a 2 year old Xiaomi Mi2) which seems to have a very good auto mode. Was just asking if i was the only one who has had a bad automode experience and if someone knows how to improve it.

How do your pictures look like without resizing?

As i'm owning a WQHD Screen all my automode pictures look very bad!

I don't want to set up the manual mode every time i want to take a picture, this phone has a shutter button to make fast pictures and with the setup phase i lose time even if manual mode gives me excellent pictures.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
The manual mode uses oversampling as well, if you select a lower resolution. I've compared an auto mode shot with a manual mode shot of the same scene, and both were equal in terms of details and noise. The main difference was that the auto mode shot looks far worse because it tends to use that horrible HDR which just washes out the photo and ruins the contrast to near non-existence. I find that "multi" light metering mode, selectable in manual mode, gives far better results than HDR on this phone.

Furthermore, the pictures from this phone's camera would look a lot better if Sony used a better algorithm for their oversampling.

Here is a comparison between a 100% crop of an image taken using Sony's oversampling (8mp) (former attachment) and a 100% crop of a photo taken at 20mp, and then downsampled to the 8mp dimensions using Irfanview (latter attachment):
