llmo128, if you are flashing to an apache, you only need to put it into bootloader mode to flash custom roms with the MaUpgradeNoID utility. You should be able to go back to an official upgrade from a carrier by just running their packaged installers.

As far as getting this on other devices, I do not know. I have done the cid unlock on a wizard, but this rom will not function on a wizard.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwin412:
Hey guys

After lots of thinking on whether to go for the Z2 or Z3, I have finally decided to upgrade to the Z3 from my Xperia S, personally, think its worth the extra amount! Going to get it a few hours from now and just wanted to know a few answers,

1. Google Play Services...this is the most annoying thing in my S too! Is there ANY way at all to turn this charge-eater off without having to root the Z3? If yes, please tell how.

2. Is is the Style Cover Window, the Sony cover officially available?

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-scr24/

Any idea where I can get this in India? (without having to import, customs would probably charge me more than the actual cost of the cover here :silly:

3. Heard there were a few finger prints sticking on to the back of the black model. Not actually a big problem, but am just curious. Am thinking of getting the Copper Brown one..does it show finger prints too? How is the Copper brown colour btw? Seen it on pictures ofcourse, but would love to know if the people who went and got that actually liked it too or felt it was not what they expected!

4. Maybe not related to this thread and a noob question, but I really want to know this too. I have synced all my photos and got all my Contacts on the dropbox. How do I save my texts now? I want to be able to view all my texts from the S on the Z3 too. Is that possible? Not just the default messaging, even the Whatsapp. Heard Whatsapp back-up and restore was not that simple! Lastly, though I really want to have EVERYTHING ( contacts,texts,chats,photos ) except the apps, from my phone S to the Z3, is it advisable to do so? Am afraid doing so might result iin the phone not being as good as getting the new phone and starting it fresh.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
1. The only option would be to disable Google app and all location services - I tried it on my old Xperia Z and it seemed to have worked. BUT on Z3 there is no need to worry about it. Play Services v.6.0 work well, no battery drain issues.

2. The cover is available in UK. I believe you could get one from eBay without having to pay customs.

3. Wouldn't worry about that - it is a glass back, so a) of course it is a fingerprint magnet and b) you probably want to stick a screen protector on both front and back. If you use a film protector on the back - you won't have problems. It will still collect fingerprints, but they will be extremely easy to clean. Also, remember that your new phone would be waterproof - washing it is actually a valid option - believe me, I tried ;)

4. You can import/export texts from whatsapp - but I doubt there is a way to do it with stock messaging app, at least not without root.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwin412:
Thank you, that cleared almost my doubts. Wish I could get those messages from the stock messaging too! Just one last question ... did you import all contacts, photos, chats etc into your new Z3 too? Thinking of trying out that Xperia transfer app. Not sure if it would work alright or if there is a better method?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Transfer app should be good enough, I used built in transfer app from HTC and LG when I had them. The Z3 transfer app should be just as good.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minki:
Hi,

I used the Xperia Transfer Mobile app to copy all of my messages (sms/mms) as well as the call log from my old Xperia T to the Z3.

Whatsapp wasn't any harder, I just copied the Whatsapp folder from XT's internal sdcard to Z3's internal memory before launching the app for the first time.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
What's up with Play Services? It's one of the most important parts of Android. Stop that and you stop all sorts of functionality including emergency security updates.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I didn't need to transfer anything as everything I needed was already on my Google account ( contacts, mail etc. ) and I keep all my photos on my PC, just transferring them via USB ( I'm a bit old-fashioned I guess ;) ). But Xperia Transfer might be able to help, I hear it does pretty good job.

Well, there was a big problem with Play Services that was plaguing versions 4.4.X - 5.X but it appears to have been fixed in 6.0
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] theellucidone:
You all here are so fast to jump on me and say that I am BAITING. While this is not true at all i do appreciate your feedback. I was simply going to DEV my own ROM and needed a coupole of phones to test on and dont have the funds to purchase $700 dollar phones... Devs ask for support every day in the ROMS section. So why is it so far off base for me to ask for a donation?

And to answer you people about my questions that I have posted. Yes I have had trouble rooting this phone....as did many other people.... But guess what.... i figured it out... on my own.... without help...

As for me not being a DEV....I used to run the site mydroidworld.com that I dev my own roms for the Nexus, Droid Pro, and the original droid one. So thanks for the assumptions....

I have been a member here for about 5 years now and have never seen people be so rude in a thread. I am truly disappointed in this community right now. And as such I will not be participating in it anymore. I have always loved XDA for the great support but it clearly shows here that only certain devs can request a donation...See below

IF YOU LIKE MINE & TIGERSTOWN's WORK BUY US A BEER!!!

EMAIL: RolandKillmon@Gmail.Com (Send Using Google Wallet)

Or here

And many many more ask for donations... Why are they not violating the sites rules?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bierce22:
Judging from your previous posts I call bs and ive been here since 2010 to but that dosnt make me a dev now does it and usually when other devs ask for donations they have roms already out

also if you have been here since 2010 why do you only have 76 posts and have only been thanked 4 times...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] theellucidone:
Thank you for your feedback... Your OPINION is much appreciated.

The reason being i dont have alot of posts is because I generally dont have much to say... and also while my forum was up and running i used that mainly. The forum I ran is no longer up as I just didnt have time to keep up with it. It was online for 5 yeears and had 369,163 register users and I had over 20k posts on that site.. But thanks for your feedback... I can see it was well lthought out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Neo:
Thread Closed.

I'm going to put an end to this thing here but I will be speaking to you all as a Developer.

There is a difference between providing the community with free works and tagging on "Hey if you like, click thanks or buy me a beer ;)" and requesting donations to buy phones for future product. If there was a problem with receiving donations, we wouldn't incorporate a button to do so. The problem comes in when members ask for donations and make known their intentions to (maybe) provide future product in the end. That is considered a "future purchase" be it services or software and is against our rules.

(As a Moderator)

I'm sorry you feel the need to jump ship and I wish you well in your future endeavours but we don't allow this on XDA. Please do not create another thread about this subject or you will be forcing my hand to take alternative measures.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mrwhatsupguy0:
Is there a possibility to enter my gallery directly out of the stock camera or do I always have to quit the camera and enter the gallery manually? I only have the chance to view a taken picture for about 2 seconds... Maybe it is possible to conform this? My OnePlus One is rooted and I know how to flash zips so I'm thankful for every solution. If this isn't the problem it would be great if I could set my own Gallery (QuickPic).

Thanks

You have screens of your battery life?

Thanks for share
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
You're welcome :)

I can't provide any screenshots at the moment but the battery friendly script aims to maintain similiar if not the same battery life with better performance.It's like paying 5 bucks to get something that's worth 20 bucks, a trade well worth.

The only real loss in battery life would be from CPU scaling up quickly due to governor settings which is removed from battery friendly tweak.

Try it for yourself, you'll see that it's worth it ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Will this work on stock rom with stock kernel ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
I don't think that stock kernel has init.d support.You can use Script Manager to run these scripts at every boot just like init.d does. ;)

(Tap on one of the scripts, tap the clockwork icon and superuser icon on the window that pops up, this makes script run with superuser rights and at everyboot, doing what init.d does.)

Since stock kernel doesn't have deadline I/O scheduler, cpuquiet and a few more things, about 2/3 of the script would work.

However, the biggest gain is in I/O as proven by screenshot.So don't expect much of an increase in performance as I/O tweaks were meant for deadline scheduler

Go for battery friendly version and see how it turns out
[LG Optimus 4X HD] asgz:
Is this battery friendly tweak works ? I am using LS rom its works perfect, after installation I calibrated the battery, tried different ways for good performance but doesn't enough, Android IS draining battery and I can't stop it
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Can you be more specific? Has the battery drain began after you installed this script or was it there before? These scripts aren't meant to improve battery, battery friendly one is supposed to increase performance without making loss in battery life
[LG Optimus 4X HD] asgz:
It was before, I installed your tweak and testing now, I will post the result ;)

Build.prop tweaks

:

Flashable

set of tweaks, more info avaliable below.

Note that this doesn't replace your build.prop in any way, it applies new settings and changes some settings that are already in your build.prop.

Faster network data! There are settings that limit data speed on 2g, 3g etc. with these tweaks the limit is pushed to our phone's maximum.

Various battery life tweaks: less frequent wifi scans, better sleeping options to name a few

DNS : Uses google DNS as default for data and wifi.May help with website loading and also enables access to blocked websites.

Logs : Logs are disabled as an average user doesn't need them, saving up some cpu and r/w cycles.

Dalvik VM tweaks that makes apps run faster.

Removes boot animation for faster boot (made mine boot 30 seconds earlier, results may vary)

Media tweaks : Faster streaming, better jpeg/video quality

UI is partially rendered with GPU.This results in better battery life but I didn't include all of the gpu rendering tweaks due to issues

Download & installation

Flashable as usual.

Updated to consume less RAM (created problems in some OS)

http://puu.sh/iEM27/e51520689e.zip

If you have any build.prop tweaks you've had earlier, the script will still work but in the end there may be duplicates and script's values will overwrite yours.This is not a problem however.

Changed some sysctl values for better battery life while keeping similiar performance.

Tweaked deadline even further, gives better I/O performance and less lags in I/O bottlenecked games

Users with problems using this script in euphoria OS, multi tasking/RAM management-wise should no longer experience problems.

V2.1

Added/changed some sysctl values.While some of those are universal, there are some exclusive to mourta kernel. Users of mourta kernel should see significant increase in performance.

V2

Fixed permissions,

out of memory values were added

Added sqlite_optimization and adblock (credits goes to slaid480 ,

Tweaked some values better both in sysctl and tweaks scripts,

Fixed some scripting errors

Optional downloads were added including flashable build.prop. , sony clearaudio and bravia engine 3.

Removed CPU governor & quiet settings for better compatibility.These settings should be tweaked differently for different kernels.

Added a few lines to sysctl which again focus on fixing stuttering, improving I/O

A few small things that I don't have in mind at the moment.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pouriajamali:
after flash Build.prop tweaks on zaiben stock rom my wifi and bluetooth doesnt turn on any more...how can i remove this build.prop?????
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
It was probably you changing your kernel causing this.I heard some kernels that were made for CM work in stock ROM with wifi/bluetooth broken.Funny thing is there is nothing about bluetooth in these tweaks but anyway;

There are only two things in this build.prop that are about wifi (there is nothing on bluetooth at all)

net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960 buffersize optimization for wifi connection (worst it can do is not letting you connect to the internet, still would let you turn it on)

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120 <--- scans for nearby wifi once per 2 mins (this already had it's interval, it's just increased for more battery)

1st one doesn't have anything to do with it at all, second one only increases "refresh' time so it may take more time to find wifi (note that it still does a refresh the moment you turn wifi on)

and my wifi/bluetooth works just fine.Bluetooth not working for you is a mystery on it's own.

Anyhow ;

Steps to remove build.prop tweaks :

Download root file explorer (es file explorer will also do if you enable root browsing), browse to /system and open the file build.prop with text editor (must be able to save the file after done editing)

Scroll down to bottom, select(by holding your finger on the screen) starting from "dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1" up until "persist.sys.use_16bpp_alpha=1" line and delete them and delete everything between the two.Note that 16bpp_alpha=1 is probably duplicated so do as I say, scroll from bottom to top and find the 16bpp_alpha=1 that is closest to bottom.

Save the file.

Make sure permissions are RW- R-- R--

NOTE : Make sure you follow the guide correctly, build.prop is sensitive.

I'll update build.prop script so removal will be easier should anyone else face any issues.I still don't get how it has anything to do with bluetooth/wifi though.Double check if you changed your kernel lately

Updated build.prop tweaks with a commented out line telling you how to delete the tweaks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Updated to V2.1

New version includes a few fixes in scripts and sysctl settings tuned even more.Mourta kernel users should also notice a significant increase in performance (removes a lot of stuttering) :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] alberteske:
it should work everywhere :good: report please if you fill some benefits :highfive:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Marko055:
wow, this tweaks are amasing tnx a lot...

but if i update cm do i need to flash again this tweaks?

and if i install new rom does this tweaks remain?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alberteske:
every time you flash a ROM flash tweaks :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
They work fine in euphoria and AOSP 5 it should work just fine in unofficial cm.

I can't tell if database optimization script works as binaries mostly differ between android versions and it still got kitkat binary inside it.I'm still using kitkat as lollipop is not stable enough for me.However I might update the script with lollipop compatible sqlite binary later on if it is confirmed not to be working

About benefits, I did have a raise in antutu while using the tweaks in euphoria OS, raise is usually around 500-1000 mainly because of OOM tweaks.Benchmarks however don't reflect real life performance completly.Sysctl/IO tweaks should also come in handy and like in previous androids those helped with UI lag, stuttering in games for me (asphalt 8 to name one)

I also flashed build.prop tweaks and bravia engine, they work without any problems.However,

do not flash clearaudio in lollipop

it crashes phoneUI/phone.apk when used together with ART and lollipop uses ART by default so :eek:

[MENTION=772546]alberteske[/MENTION]

I don't know what could cause that but I barely use stock browsers as they are the most vulnerable to popups/ads.It is probably happening due to build.prop tweaks as nothing else changes internet related settings, it may be google dns too.This did happen to me too, but it was like the first release of the ROM so I expected it to be a ROM issue back in the day, however stock browsers work fine for me on other ROMs (did not test in other lollipop ROMs)

I personally use firefox, it is fast and multiple tabs don't lag your phone to death like most browsers does.Opera is also good ;)

You have to explain better if you are expecting any help.

[MENTION=4319796]Streetdragon[/MENTION]

I am unsure what would cause the problem there but lollipop ROMs are kinda in beta stage right now, good thing you figured it out tho :)

Cleared up the OP and made instructions of installation more clear.

Would the Bravia engine 3 use more battery?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Not really

Quote from my own post

I checked the linked script, some sysctl settings it has are very bad for our phone and would probably cause lags and unneccessary battery drain.I know it because I found those tweaked values by testing them one by one

And there are some unneccessary 'tweaks' in that zip that will actually drain your battery for almost no gain at performance at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] eekthecat:
Hi plz i wana know if this script have any side effect?

Like another's script's use some of internar or external memmory for swap file, to increase the performance, realy increase the performance but this kill the phone or the sdcard quick.

I wana know if this script use TWEAKS only, or have any config to decrease the live of phone or Sdcard.

Thanks you :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Swap would create lags on the phone as it has 1 gb RAM and swap is not needed/is slower than using 1 gb ram alone.Some phones do get a boost from this, ones with 64 - 256 mb RAM but not ours.

In fact, this script disables swap.The phone does not even have a swap file to begin with, yet disabling swap gives some performance and less load on CPU.

It won't make your phone/sd card degrade faster in any way, it just changes some defaults into better ones that suits our phone better.

Enjoy ;)

P.s. May update the script when I've got the time, found some new stuff but need to test
