[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
It's been a while since I managed this stuff myself so I'm foggy on how to troubleshoot, but something along the lines of I don't have an /etc/fstab or it's empty so swapon is failing.

previously used FauxClock to manage this, unsure why it's not working like it used to.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, to answer the question in the title.. because its pointless. zram/zswap is good for our old devices(like g1 or old school droid), with low ram. as thats what you are using the zram/zswap for, to increase ram. the nexus 5 has 2gb ram, i bet you will never run low on ram with a nexus 5. and if you think its a benefit to the nexus 5, then you are living in a placebo.

what happened to yours, i have no idea.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
can you help me get it back?

I feel like a FauxClock update broke it.

What it was actually doing was a bit more complicated, virtualizing the diskspace (compressed, too) as a buffer layer on top of the flash. This improved random read and especially random write performance which helped with multitasking a LOT as resume from suspend in the app lifecycle was resuming from RAM, not from flash. This meant less hitching/FPS drops when bringing up android recents, as well as during animation/draws when switching to the other app

This is the only reason I want it. Simply as swap space, yes not necessary
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
that sounds what disabling fsync would do, help with random read and write. have you tried just disabling fsync? anyways, its your kernel that will have the zram feature, reflash it. if you have flashed/updated your rom, the kernel should be reflashed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
no fsync is totes different

current guess is no init.d script for the zram because restored fauxclock from titanium and enable/disable only modifies the script, relying on the script existing in the first place, and it doesn't because I didn't manually install it myself. Uninstalling and reinstalling fauxclock doesn't work though, it's like certain settings persist somewhere. It's always been a bit goofy like that, and I don't feel like wiping and installing just for the ZRAM at this moment. Currently waiting on someone to post their zram init.d script, or if anyone here sees this and wouldn't mind uploading it, much obliged.

another question: how can I low-level format the phone? IE not just wiping the partition, but actually checking for bad blocks and cutting them out of the flash table. I have another phone that I think needs that, but all the CWM and TWRP recoveries seem to just do wiping not complete formats.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
init tasks are somewhere besides /etc/init.d now it looks like

if anyone else needs it, flashing completely stock image straight from google and then rooting got me what I needed. Unsure why the "stock rooted" zips people provided weren't good enough. oh well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] webmastir:
I would have tried to use the search function, but it's supposedly down atm.

:rolleyes:

Anyway, how does one make calls over WiFi with our S4s? I have Verizon service and also have a Google Voice number. If I go into the Google Voice app and select "always make calls with Google Voice", it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I still get a lot of "call has been lost" messages while I'm talking to someone. It's f'in annoying. I don't have the best reception in my apartment building, so that's why I'm interested in this.

One would say, go into Hangouts app and select the person and hit call. This doesn't work as some of the numbers don't have Google accounts. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] emarietta:
Research VoIP. I think that's the only way you'd be able to. I'm not too sure though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] webmastir:
Heh yeah I know that. I was hoping for some more info than what it requires.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rbf2000:
If you have a google voice number, and the latest version of hangouts along with the hangouts dialer (sorry, don't have enough posts to link the play store url) you can make calls to any telephone number using hangouts as a dialer. It uses data (e.g., wifi) instead of voice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] webmastir:
Yeah. I don't think Verizon allows the dialer, right? I have hangouts but no dialer add-in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] webmastir:
Oh shi t. I was wrong. It is a separate app! How did I miss this???????

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joecus:
..but is this dialer using WIFI or (cellular) DATA?

I checked out the Play Store APP you referenced (thank you) and I've been following the VOIP capabilities of Google Voice etc. - BUT does this solution in fact give me WIFI Calling on my GS4? Not Cellular DATA VOIP calling, but true carrier independent ~OR~ Verizon, WIFI VOIP calling?

[General Questions and Answers] Faspaiso:
Hi

I know it's in the words. So that I can recover my phone to where it was, if something fails while flashing.

But if I don't got "much" on the phone, does it matter then? Can't I just recover it back to factory?

All Roms to say how important it is and you need to do it and so on.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Yes custom recovery is probably the most important thing to install onto the phone as it is what ALLOWS you to flash a custom ROM to your device, also the recovery doesn't just backup your data it backups the entire device with a nandroid backup, that means if everything thing goes wrong but you can still get to custom recovery you can restore the device to a usable.

So you NEED a custom recovery to install a custom ROM
[General Questions and Answers] Faspaiso:
I downloaded Nandroid and did a recovery. Is that enough or do I need to do it from the computer?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Copy it to the PC just incase something goes wrong, other than that it's fine
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumczak:
Hello!

I'm having a few "bugs" on my Moto G Global GSM running stock EU Retail software on top of AeroKernel and Gravity Box on it.

1. Making calls issue: it seems like my phone is not getting "mobile provider settings" regarding showing my number when placing a call. As a result, i can't call home phone numbers in my country - i can call mobile numbers any time, but if i want to call home number, i need to go to phone -> settings -> additional settings and wait for the settings to load. Only then can I call these numbers.

2. Receiving MMS: how can i enable auto-download MMS messages on stock messaging app? I mean the situation when my data is off, then it autoconnects when mms comes, then it disconnects. It is like this on custom roms, as far as I know, but i'd like to have it on stock software.

3. Contact list issue: my contacts are doubled. How can i solve this? All of my contacts are from my Gmail account only, no contacts on SIM or from storage. The weird thing is, when I open Contacts app, it shows my contacts as it should, but when i open Phone app and try to search for somebody, the entries are doubled. oh, okay, i fixed that already. my contacts on google account were all doubled or trippled - though i have no idea why!

So, these are issues I'm having that prevent me from enjoying my phone in 100% :). I wish somebody can help me with these! I'd really appreciate that!

Thanks in advance,

Kumczak
[HTC One X] Erroerro:
Hello to everyone, I am writing in this forum to ask for your help.

I have a htc-one-x functioning but with broken lcd display.

I decided to fix it by myself then i disassembled the phone.

During these operations, I realize I have gone beyond my ability to repair because this phone is assembled in a truly complex.

I currently have a phone disassembled into all its parts!

See attached file.

My question is this: without having to reassemble, it is possible, with the USB connector, having access at internal ROM to recover the files?

I'm interested, in particular, to recover photos that (foolishly) I had not saved.

Thank you

Andrea
[HTC One X] Erroerro:
Please...

...any ideas?
[HTC One X] Erroerro:

i do it!!

Simply ..i attach battery and the the usb connector:

the red LED is lit.

Then with a fingernail I pressed the power button and the phone is switched on and has been recognized by my pc

Hi

I tried to install CM11 for my GS5 from their official site. They have an Nightly build which I have heard should be stable.

But I didn't even get to that part. I was on my way of making a custom recovery with Heimdall and while doing so I get this error:

Anyone know any way around of this

Out of curiosity, does it matter what program I need to make the custom recovery? As CM wiki says I should use Heimdall. But can I use every recovery tool available?

Thanks in advance

Why did you want to flash a custom recovery, to just flash a custom rom? If so, then just flash the custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom you want.
