Re: [ROM][5.0][Lollipop][Official] NamelessROM 2.0 [ALPHA] [20141117]

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infomedia0:
The DN4 rom is awesome for it. I don't these types of threads are allowed. Xda encourages you to try diffrent roms not ask like this. Good luck
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
There is no such thing as "best rom", It's subjective and just own opinion. To find your answer try some and find out what is "best" for you.

Alternatively use common sense, Do you think you're the only person to have ever asked this question? Use search and read topics that already exist, no need for another.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Every ROM is the BEST! Ask anyone currently using any ROM...they have found it is the BEST for THEM. Battery life is dependent on kernel, kernel settings, syncs that YOU set up, signal strength, brightness,..and many other non-ROM settings which YOU set up. Air Command features you will find listed in the OP of the ROM if they are working or not.

Happy flashing!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
I was just wondering where everyone left off on the issue of running software decoding in xbmc eliminating the blur issue but causing stuttering during playback. Did everyone simply just stick with the hardware decoding as its reliable and just decide to put up with the slightly reduced picture quality on the stick?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JS_racer:
Not sure about the difference, but I have not been too pleased with the video output on xbmc. I have it going through my denon receiver, calibrated TV, and the Amazon movies look much better than the xbmc output.

I have a ps3 and a hdi dune d1 player, the same networked video looks much better on them, also connected by the denon.

Test patterns show black levels are ok, but the contrast won't dial in. Also the video is not as clean, for lack of other words.

Sure would love to have better video output, only had my stick a few days.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Have you tried going to acceleration in settings and switching to software decoding? I notice a noticeable difference in picture quality but there is stuttering during parts of heavy motion.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JS_racer:
OK, my findings using test pattern and an easy 720p mkv with dts

I must use hardware acceleration, and also must use libstagefright. If that is off, my video stutters badly, unwatchable.

OK now for test patterns, my contrast is spot on with lib. Disabled, patterns look good. Enabled it washes my contrast.

Looks like I can't win this one.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastafunk:
All versions of gotham show issues with mediacodec hw acceleration on certain qualcom SOC's. Helix Beta's are better. For now libstagefright is the recommended hw acceleration method.

Turning acceleration off will solve some of your issues with mediacodec but will rely on the cpu's to decode video and will only be able to play up to about 720 (unless they are full BR rips) without issue. Libstagefight is a pretty low level tap into the gpu hw acceleration, and on some cpu's often performs better then mediacodec which is a newer more generic api provided by Android isteself to access the gpu features.

It is true that often software decoders (ie ffmpg) can produce better picture quality as often hardware methods are colorspace lmited, and take shortcuts to produce speed. Unfortunately even on high level htpc's hardware acceleration is still needed to playback high bitrate rips and newer codecs in real-time.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JS_racer:
Thanks, I'll play around with helix for a bit to see the results.

Strange, both hardware acceleration settings mute the contrast, testing in helix.

That's the rc1, no change from what I have now in quick tests.

Might have to give up on picture quality in xbmc, dang.

Hi!

I had a g900x phone. I flashed it with Omega rom, but got stuck in bootloop. I installed other TouchWiz roms and even tried the nandroid restore but I always get stuck in bootloops.

I tried reinstalling the pit with odin, but that did not change anything.

I installed CM11 and the phone booted without issue. I tried other aosp roms and they all worked without issues.

Another weird issues is that when I switch off the phone then plug it, a grey battery appears, except with aosp roms.

Any one knows what is wrong and how I can once more install a stock or TW rom?

Well being unable to find anything out here for your device is not a surprise at all. The thing is, when you buy these uncommon low end devices there's often no support. Probably never will be either.

It is possible to disable totally the GPS?

I have it OFF in settings, but starting some app that use GPS it find satellites and obtains fix, giving my position !!!

My device is a P600 stock 4.4.2 not rooted.

I'm using AndroiTS GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androits.gps.test.free&hl=en), and it shows WAIT in the GPS status while doesn't have a position and changes to ON after obtaining fix.

Doing the same in my Nexus 7 2013 kk 4.4.4 works as expected: If GPS is OFF in settings, the app shows OFF in GPS status and doesn't find satellites, fix and position.

SOLVED: After power off and power on again seems to work well.

I don't know what happened.

Can the GPS remain enabled but showing in the settings that it is disabled?

Really strange!

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Grechu:
Hey guys,

I am deciding on my first tablet and Sony's xperia is the choice. But I have few questions which may or not affect my decision.

1) I will need root the device in future. I will mostly use it for AdAway and backup apps. But losing the drm codes is the problem. Is it possible in future to appear some kind of root without unlocking the bootloader or ROMs with these drms keys? Mostly if that happened to other Sony devices to give me some hope for this. I would like to try to root it in ~6 months after purchase.

2)Or is it better to wait for Z4 release? The biggest decision factor would be the price or the price drop of Z3. Is it worth? The current Z3 specs are fine for me, only root is issue. And I do not think Z4 will have gorilla glass 4.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrozel:
The following problem happens every time. If I am in a call and a another call comes in I get that bip in the headset. I look at the screen and see the 2nd caller, with a few options like answer, reject, etc.

The problem is that if I don't touch the screen and just let the 2nd caller keep calling, when I put the phone to my ear to continue the first conversation, the phone automatically switches to the 2nd call and puts the first one on hold.

This is incredibly annoying and even put me in cumbersome situations because the 2nd caller was on without me knowing it.

I can replicate this every single time, my sister as well on her Z3 compact, so it's a software problem.

Any solutions?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toasty Pops:
My Xperia Z will not boot; the red LED flashes three times when I attempt to turn it on. I have tried resetting using the power button and volume up (most of the time it does not produce a response, but if it is plugged into my computer it will, where the LED will only turn off for maybe two seconds before coming back on), I have tried unplugging the battery (I have done this multiple times and on two occasions left it unplugged for over a week), I have tried flashing multiple different firmwares through Flashtool (they flash successfully but the phone still does not boot) and I have tried charging it for days and even a week one time with different chargers, but it still refuses to turn on. :(

This issue first occurred after I replaced the antenna flex cable and the buttons/microphone flex cable due to accidentally breaking them whilst replacing the LCD. I think this issue may have started because the battery was only on 7% when I disconnected it to replace the two parts, but I fail to see how this would discharge the battery so much? I am willing to purchase another battery if I can be certain that it will fix this issue.

Unlike some on this forum in other threads I have read through, the Sony logo does not come up at all, the screen is black the entire time. Also, when plugged into my Windows 8.1 laptop the computer tries to install drivers and says that it does not recognize the device "USB device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". When now attempting to put into flashmode connecting it to a USB 2.0 port the phone does not respond for five seconds, then the LED flashes green then red immediately after, before the LED goes off again, then the firmware is flashed (successfully). Attempting to put the phone into flashmode when connected to a USB 3.0 port will only result in the LED turning red.

Thanks for your time, this is really frustrating me, and any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toasty Pops:
My phone was not entering flashmode just before when I was trying to flash a different ftf file, so I wondered what would happen if I disconnected the battery, and then tried it. I first just connected the phone without the battery and got a solid blue light from the LED. Then when I tried entering flashmode without the battery connected it worked! So since I can successfully flash ftf files without the battery connected I'm assuming the issue is the battery, or could it possibly be the part of the motherboard which the battery connects to like this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/hardware-fix-xperia-z-charging-booting-t2760911 ?

I do have one somewhere, but I think it's broken :( The issue must be related to the battery or battery connection now, so I need to figure out which of the two it is before I take any further steps to fix it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toasty Pops:
So I ordered a replacement battery and when first connected the phone would not turn on. After charging for a little while the LED went red, and the phone now vibrates when I attempt to turn it on and also when I try to reset it. So the vibrations feel correct (it vibrates once when turning on, once when volume up and power have been held for five seconds, and three times when volume up and power for ten or so seconds), but it still refuses to boot. I have tried three different chargers for extended periods of time, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery multiple times and have flashed a different .ftf file, but all to no luck. My Windows 8.1 laptop computer still says that the USB device is not recognised and nothing seems to be progressing :(
