[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If I'm understanding correctly, the M8x is the same as any other GSM M8, its just a regionalization?

If so, as long as the phone is s-off, you should be able to flash a different radio and open up different freq support on LTE (in this case, a T-Mob radio). Or am I missing something? I know WNC is a lot smarter than me on this stuff, so I'm thinking I must be missing something?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Im not 100% you could very well be correct,thats why i said to my knowledge its wont work. From what I was told awhile back it is in the hardware not the firmware software.I do know for a fact on the M7 is is not able to be changed via firmware radio flashing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As of Snapdragon 801 chipset, the band support is now software based. It was a new thing for me too, on this device. As previously, I was accustomed to band support always being hardware based, and telling people "no way" when they asked if you can change band support by flashing a different radio.

My understanding, all GSM M8's have identical hardware (aside from cosmetics) and can be flashed/converted to be any other variant (s-off required, of course).

The exceptions are the dual SIM M8 and (possibly) the CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) variants which may actually have different hardware (its not been clear to me, and I have yet to read anything definitive either way on this).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Link i posted for thread post #18 says user tried other variants radios and was unable to get them to work, IF this is true then they are not all software base...shrugs, who knows...lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So this may indeed be something specific to the Taiwanese variant (not compatible with other M8 radios?).

Other folks on that same thread were able to do it on other variants (AT&T radio on T-Mob version; T-Mob radio on AT&T version) and I've seen other reports to the same effect.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonders_Never_Cease:
It may be, they may have locked it up on chinese variant as it is a different device model than a regular m8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, I forgot the Taiwanese variant had different CPU clocking (but otherwise the same?).

just got the phone brand new yesterday coming from an s3 and i can instantly notice the camera is somewhat worse?

this is very obvious in low light, even with light the photos seem to look grainy like the phone is always zoomed in. am i missing something? any tips here from other S5 owners

i'm on stock 4.4.2 rooted

sample images below, the quality on the s3 while darker seems much more sharper.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frpilot:
sorry here are the right attachments

left is the S5 while right is the s3.

the S5 is so grainy i can barely see any detail, it appeals very grainy on the phone's screen also while taking the shot

i feel this is a really silly thing.

especially coming from an S3 and to the newer S5, the phone looks like it is always zoomed it when taking a photo.. it is THAT grainy in low light

i have seen some reviews and threads about the front facing camera being grainy which i can understand but this is the rear camera?

my S3 camera, while darker is much much more sharper than the S5 which is quite disappointing.

does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Hi,

i'm going to place an order on Monday on the uk store and was wondering what version people refer to when emntioning pure edition.

also i was wondeing if all back covers ( no leather no wood ) are now soft to the touch ( motox 1st gen i hear there were mixed materials used ).

thanks

My black back is soft touch
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcustom11:
The xt1095 is the pure edition in the US. I think the xt1092 is the European version and is essentially the same thing with a different modem. It's on a different update schedule.

The neutral dark colored backs have a different material that the bright and cool colored backs. The colored backs are pretty slick while the dark colored backs are a little more textured. I exchanged a navy back for a slate back because it was less slick.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Only the black back is soft touch.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Wait, the texture of the slate and navy backs are different?

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

That's what I though too.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcustom11:
I don't know about the black back, but the slate back was considerably softer than the navy. It says the neutral backs have a subtle weave of advanced composites. The cool colors have a soft scratch resistant finish.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
I never held a motox in my hand, how does the neutral black feel like in comparison to the other neutral colors? I mean the soft touch would it feel more like rubber or fake leather?

Thanks! I'm 9h away from placing an order ;)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
It feels much like the soft backs of other phones out there. It has more of a rubber non-stick feel, which is very similar to the back of the black Nexus 5. That said, I think I'm one of the few who don't like that feel. I'd rather have a firmer smoother back, what others say only the "cool" colors have. It's one of the reasons I went with the white N5.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
Thanks, I went with a black black red (trims), I hope the black back would be grippier to the touch than other colors, after the z3 compact I need a grippy phone now :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
OtterX

This Rom is for the Kindle Fire (1st Gen) with Hashcodes OtterX partition layout ONLY.

SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. The main goal is to offer users a slimmed down but still feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.

The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.

All of the sources can be publicly viewed through GitHub and you can stop by the public Gerrit to submit patches of any type.

SlimPop is the project name for SlimRoms based on Android 5.0 and offers the following original features:

New features coming soon, I'm still getting the base stable

Disclaimer: neither me or SlimRoms are to be held responsible for any damages to your device.

Instructions

If coming from another rom.

method 1

1st make sure you have Hashcodes otterx bootloader 2.04 and his otterx TWRP recovery installed and are using the otterx partitions

See here for instructions for the above. Link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671619

Tips

1: Before installing rom goto /settings/apps/Downloaded/Trickster MOD and clear data

After installing rom and gapps.

2: /settings/dev-settings/animation scales x3 change to .25x.

3: /google-settings/search & now/voice/ok Google detection/ turn off OK Google.

don't be impatient it can take upto 15 minutes on bootanimation, just sit tight. :)

Layers

Layers is a way of installing overlays to your system.

It is in very early development (but already I like it).

It can change resources, ie. strings, colours and values.

It can also be used to fix some rom bugs etc.

We will just be using it as a theme engine for now.

Main Layers xda thread Link: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/official-layers-bitsyko-apps-rro-t3012172

A collection of Layers available Link: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/0-themes-official-mega-rro-themes-t3011075

Layers has its own app (unfortunatly it doesn't support legacy devices YET) so I modified my Sion app to be able to install them.

The BitSyko team who developed Layers are working on a new app which should be very smart.

Instructions:

**************

pick a Layers.zip file from the collections link above or the About screen of the Sion app and download it to your sdcard.

Next open Sion (either from /settings/interface/sion installer or from the Sion app in your app drawer.

click Button 3 "Layers Installer".

click Button 1 "Choose Your Layers.zip".

click your predownloaded Layers.zip file.

click Button 2 "Install Chosen Layer".

click Button 3 "Reboot Your Device".

Enjoy your new theme.

TIPS

*****

1/ you can install multiple Layer.zips befor rebooting.

2/ To delete one layer at a time

click Button 4 "Installed Layers"

click on the Layer you would like to delete.

check the checkbox and then click the bottom left Button "Delete Your Chosen Layer".

3/ You can delete all installed Layers by checking the checkbox then clicking the bottom right Button "Delete all Installed Layers".

4/ Use the Installed Layers Button to check what you have Installed.

5/ After deleting any Layers you will need to reboot for the deletions to take effect.

6/ you can istall any number of layers at once, but if you have 2 the same ie. 2 different frameworks.apk's then they will conflict with each other.

7/ Please read about layers in there xda thread (link can also be found within the About screen of my Sion app).

I suggest trying Brian Gills SynergyV2 Layer 1st.

Link: https://plus.google.com/+BrianGill55/posts/9Giqp72hCAG (V3 coming soon).

theres a little bug with synergyV2 layers in the hangouts.apk, just use sion to delete this layer before rebooting. (you can also delete the dialler.apk as we don't need that with the Kindle.

I dont what I'm doing wrong but I cabt get Slimpop to perform on my Kindle. I have tried installing the original version and the .03 version.

Animation set to .25, smartass governor etc.

It is so slow that sometimes I wonder if the tablet has hung. This could be waiting for the keyboard to pop up or just trying to navigate back to the home screen. I have made sure that I wipe everything before installing the Rom and Gapps. For now it's unusable for me so have reverted back to KK for now.

You can't just replace one bootloader.bin for another in a install.zip, the script checks sha-1 checksum, so that also needs to be changed.

There is a usb bug in the otterx bootloader, if Kindle is not connected to pc, when powering on, the usb can stop working.

Kindle need to be connected to pc, and kindle needs to be Powered off, and back on. I believe... see Hashcodes post

None of the other bugs, beyond the video, would be what I would consider "show stoppers." I am trying to keep track of everything that comes up, like the adaptive lighting bug, but I am using this ROM as a daily driver myself. I find it responsive and pretty snappy, considering the hardware limitations.

Things like OTG have been hit-or-miss for awhile. Even when they were "working" they didn't ever seem to work for everyone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I've been doing a little messing around in trickstermod to see if I can eeeek out a little more performance. Here is what I've come up with:

I/O Control:

Read ahead buffer: 256

Scheduler: deadline

Governor: smartassV2

GPU Governor: on3demand

Max Freq: 307

ZRAM: off

These settings for me have reduced "some" of the lag and apps I run "seem" a bit snappier.

I've also used a system uninstaller to remove the camera, phone and bluetooth since 1) the device doesn't have a phone or camera capabilities so why waste the resources and 2) I don't use bluetooth, again why waste the resources. Also I've turned off most of the sync options and notifications for gmail, facebook, playstore updates and google drive. It's no biggie because I can always manually check and update as needed.

WiFi I turned off scanning always available and keep on always. Figured since I'm not syncing in the background having the radio turn off while sleeping wouldn't harm anything. There are a few other things I've done but can't remember at this moment.

All in all this is one solid alpha ROM and definitely daily driver material. It's been almost 36 hours since the last charge with moderate usage and I had almost 4 hours of screen on time with 8 hours awake time. Deep sleep and idle battery usage is almost non existent like sipping battery at 1.2%/hr idle and maybe 4.5-5%/hr while active. Hope some of this information is useful and I can't wait to see what you and [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] come up with next.

Slimpop alpha 0.8 coming tomorrow, its building now. Also I will include smartassV2 back into the kernel (although it won't be built with the ROM yet I will provide separate flashable.zip). I've not had time to look at the new gapps yet but they will come soon :). Still no video unfortunately , but I was able to play a couple of videos with audio on on YouTube through the stock browser when I checked the "request desktop site" option from within the browser. I've also asked in the unofficial slim Q & A ROM Build hangouts group for some help and they mentioned I should contact one of there top devs "kufikugel" (awesome dev :) ). I've tried everything I can think of but without knowing what is causing the issue I don't know how to fix.
