[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
Interesting question.. as far as I know, there isnt anyone actually compared IPL before. Most IPL came together with new ROM as a package and when things went better (or worse), it is usually the ROM that takes the credit (good or bad). HOWEVER, even so, in some cases, the apparent speeding up of your phone is due to a `clean OS` rather than a `new OS`. Which is like what you get if you get yourself a new WinXp installed. Phone wise, it may be due to the plugin you've installed, the amount of files and contacts in your phone, etc.

As like what I've tested for my good old Charmer here, the result doesn't show much improvements on the new ROM, an improvements of approx 3-6% read/write speed are unlikely to be noticable. 6% is like people telling you that he/she can feel that the room temperature has dropped/raised by 1.5oC in a 25oC room, or tell you the speed difference between a 7200rpm 7632rpm(not exist) hardisk.

Crap aside. I dunno the answer to your question and I don't think there are any people who've tested solely on IPL/SPL performance without a ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] double_ofour:
thanks for your explanation.. maybe someday we'll know..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Malik05:
consider IPL/SPL as the bios of the device, for those who know computer terminology, u can flash the bios of the motherboard, just as u can flash the wizard with a new ipl/spl as s base...hope u understand it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] double_ofour:
ok.. here's mine..

i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 2.26

observe them.. they are different.. one is version 1.xx and the other one is 2.xx

as the people say here in xdev "wm6 is more faster and stable"..

it seems that for me its not..

because i always have lockups and my device is too slow..

Is it maybe because i have an old version of IPL 1.01?..

hhmm.. maybe if i try to upgrade to 2.26-IPL, my wm6 will result to "faster and stable ROM" as other says

or maybe because i came from a himalaya device wich has 400mhz compared to wizard that has 200mhz and thats why i feel slow to it??..

..I dont know.. just my thought..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
Yeah, forgot to mentioned this. IPL/SPL does seems to affect WM6. If you read the Undergound WM6 thread, bit at the end, there are people suffering from .. splash screen hanging issues by not having an up to date IPL/SPL. The problem seems to be solved after that guy flashed his IPL/SPL with an official (if I remember correctly) IPL/SPL. This issue is a bit unique, as G4 Wizard doesn't have means of unlocking the CID (with out paying £ £), and hence, currently, flashing the WM6 only flash the ROM portion. Is yours a G4?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] double_ofour:
Mine is G3..

IPL 1.01

SPL 2.26

i think i have a version 2 bootloader because i have sucesfully flashed a 2.xx radio ROM..

Ill try to upgrade my IPL to something 2.xx and ppost the result and comparison wether they it changes the performance or not..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Razertje:
If I was you I would read the topic on unlocking the CID en flash it to 2.26
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zSpinner:
ipl / spl

Tnx Malik.

If it's anything like with a desktop, the bios would be worth upgrading only when experiencing hardware or performence problems. So when a new ROM comes out with new ipl/spl it's probably nessecary for the rom to work. I would say leave 2.21 as it is, but for double_ofour it's probably better to upgrade to bennefit from the newer roms and lock-ups may go away.

sounds logical?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Malik05:
u got it right for the most part, but u wanna keep it at 2.26, not 2.21
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zSpinner:
ipl / spl

I Agree 2.26 would be the newest and is apparantly not causing problems. After some flashing though i seem to have 2.21 now, wich allso works fine. dunno if downflashing to a shipped rom with 2.26 and then flashing again to underground rom is worth the trouble.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Malik05:
i think its worth the trouble

[LG G Watch R] ayemprady:
Hi Guys,

Is there a way to automatically turn off the screen at night (during a specific time).

Is there any app to do this ? Or tasker/IFTTT/Tockle profile to do the same ?
[LG G Watch R] massaquah:
I would like a swipe-from-the-right switch similar to the mute switch (swipe from top) which puts the watch into airplane mode and deactivates the always on mode, too. (=night mode)
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
WatchMaker app just got (after the last update) tasker plugin. You can switch different faces based on different parameters. If you build a face with dim mode - off and you will activate-it after midnight (as an example), then you will get exactly what you want.
[LG G Watch R] ayemprady:
Any example for this.. I am unable to figure this out
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
You need to install "tasker" also, in parallel with "watchmaker".'Go to watchmaker app and create the watch face you desire (or download one from the internet - there are plenty to choose from).

Take the watchface of your choice and create a duplicate.

On the duplicate add a BLACK png file on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode.

Then, set-u tasker to switch on the duplicate face while it's night and to the original face in the rest of the day.

Now, you will basically have the same watchface in all circumstances, but at night, the dim mode will just be black (which, in the amoled world, means, screen off).
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
you can do the same thing without Tasker:

add a BLACK png file- or even better: a shape with the color black and size of 512x512px - on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode

then use the following formula in the opacity field:

{dh23} > 18 and 100 or {dh23} < 7 and 100 or 0

red indicates the time in which to apply the filter (in my case between 19:00 and 07:00)
[LG G Watch R] ivanpeet:
I'm just using "Slumber for Android Wear"

It makes the screen black when you put the watch on his cradle.

No airplane mode though
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Oh .. you are sooo right ... I missed that possibility ... it was a situation of not seeing the forest because of the trees :)
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
yes, WatchMaker is great on its own - but I really love the tasker integration!

I'm using the above formula to set a 50% opacity shade during the night hours in order to dim the screen

btw: the same thing should be possible with Facer
[LG G Watch R] ayemprady:
i have used tasker to set the black watch face in the night. but 1 problem, watchmaker works only when one of the faces from watchmaker is selected. If i select any of stock watchface, the tasker thing does not work as it is mentioned in watchmaker app description that to change the face one of the watchmaker faces should be selected on the watch..
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Of course it's working like that, seriously, what have you expected?

If/when the main wear app will allow changing faces remotely via tasker (or it will offer an API for that) then we will be able to do that.

Anyway, my watch is turning off by itself while it's placed in the charger. It will not turn off immediately but after few minutes.
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
I haven't tried it myself, but FaceLift could be what you are looking for

it should allow you to switch to watchmaker (which you have to pre-set with a black image) and back to the stock face at certain times

As I understand it, praddz wants the watch to turn off during a certain time frame, not when charging

If you want the watch to turn off immediately when charging and are willing to enable developer options, for me it works to set the keep screen on option to enabled
[LG G Watch R] dersie:
At night I just deactivate Screen Alway ON to have screen off while charging. So easy that changing face or other workaround no ? Long press button and just click on screen parameter.
[LG G Watch R] Koopa777:
Figured I'd chime in that changing faces from the app is confirmed for the Lollipop/Wear 2.0 update rolling out this week. On another note, it would be cool to have the 5.0 notification system integrated into Wear, so things like Quiet Hours, Priority interruptions, etc. Maybe someday. :D
[LG G Watch R] cashisback:
Am i missing something? My watch automatically turns the screen off when it's on the cradle, after about 10 minutes.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakepe:
Hello

I found this on Kodi Wiki Page - it that possible on the fire tv ?

and if yes - how is it done ? - i am a totally newbie when i comes to XML files :D

Move cached images to another drive

Main page: Path substitution

Path substitution is another advancedsettings.xml tag. If you simply need more space for XBMC's files but don't wish to limit the image quality then you can use path subs to relocate the images to another drive. The cached images in the Thumbnails folder takes up the most amount of space of all the different XBMC files, so using pathsubs on that folder alone is often all you need to do. It's even possible to use a network file share path, but it is recommended that you use another local drive, if possible, for performance reasons.

If you have not made an advancedsettings.xml file before, see the example in the above section #Limit the size of cached images.

Note: If you have an existing advancedsettings.xml file, make sure the <pathsubstitution></pathsubstitution> tags are between the main <advancedsettings></advancedsettings> tags.

<advancedsettings>

<pathsubstitution>

<substitute>

<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>

<to>G:\Other Drive\</to>

Hi there. A few months ago a friend dropped my xperia z1s and I made an insurance claim for a new one (as the new model wasn't out yet and I wanted to keep same phone). However my new model has an issue with the vibrator and I'm looking to upgrade. Now I told myself that because of the locked bootloader I would buy direct from Sony next time around. However am I correct in assuming that I will not be able to take advantage of WiFi calling unless I purchase direct from T-Mobile? I would prefer to buy the z3 compact from sony, but if wifi calling is not an option and I have to purchase my own insurance I think I'd rather just deal with tmobile.

If I were to use my t-mobile jump promo to upgrade to the Z3... can it be easily rooted and recovery be flashed (on the latest version of android) today?

You cant root the D6616 yet as it has no bootloader unlock. I can live with that, Android has come a long way where root is not as important as it once was, well unless you want to try out new ROM and other mods of course.

As for the phone, its great. Not counting the 3 exchanges for cosmetic defects. I was going to get the LG G3 but after seeing the worse battery life (compared to my G2) and low contrast screen, it seemed like a downgrade, so I decided the Xperia Z3 was the only worthy succesor to my LG G2.
