Hello all,

Can anyone please post ace_ddi.dll found in AKU3.3 to be used in WM6?

This DLL has been (will be) applied in the new WMXL.2, but I don't feel like flashing my highly tuned device once again, so I simply wish to add this DLL to fix video corruption with TCPMP and CorePlayer...

So, anyone, please? thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shandar:
Same here. Would really appreciate if someone could upload this dll.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
look... download an AKU 3.3 ROM from the Wiki and then extract it... use ROM Kitchen or whatever if you like, but either way, do it yourself... it's easy enough
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Get a full backup first. I applied ace_ddi.dll form Cingular AKU 3.3 to my WM6 and bricked. Had to hard reset to fix. I'm checking for diffs between that and the HTC ROM now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
Ai, that sucks. How exactly did you extracted that file from AKU3.3? If I do a ROM dump, I get a subdirectory called ace_ddi.dll instead of a file. That subdir contains a bunch of files. I looked into those files, none of them seems to be containing binary data what would represent the original file (no DLL entry point found). the S00* files combined seems to be the size of the file needed though, are they encoded in a different format? how do I convert that into the file I need?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
you need to have RecMod.exe in the same directory as viewimgfs.exe IIRC or the dlls won't be created from modules. If its there, the reconstructed dll will also be in the folder.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
Ah, thanks a bunch, that worked. gonna try applying it (but after a backup as you sugested)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
Well... Have to report that once I applied it, the system doesn't boot anymore, and indeed a hard reset is needed.

How did it got integrated into WMXL.2 ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
The dll from the HTC 3.3 dump is identical.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I've replace a few system dlls in WMXL v0.20 and it seems that you must actually embed system dlls into the Rom, not replace them after your device is flashed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spiritofseth:
This is true, you cant do anything to them once they are active, I was trying to do this yesterday.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Heimiko:
Can you confirm that with the WMXL.2 release TCPMP can make use of the ATI decoder without scrambling the screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
It didn't fix it for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
hmmm... I've not been able to make a valid os.nb containing ace_ddi.dll using aChef tools. This dll is a system module, and while I can delete it w/o issues with delfile.exe, I am unable to use addfile.exe to add the AKU3.3 version.

Addfile.exe blows up if I point it to the directory containing the module information from viewimgfs (assuming because I'm pointing it to a directory not a file here). Adding the actual ace_ddi.dll reconstructed by recmod works with addfile, but a resultant viewimgfs dump of the new os.nb shows shows a zero byte ace_ddi.dll instead of a module directory.

Is there a trick I'm missing here?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
the trick is ....just replace the dll not the whole module.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Thought I tried that and the resultant dll was 0 bytes :confused:... Must've been something I did... I'll try again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
try this; install developer certs and sign the DLL with the privileged certificate, no doubt it'll work after that post-install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Got it to work this time. Subsequent imgfs dump showed the correct size for ace_ddi.dll. The only thing I did different was put the ace_ddi.dll file itself into the same directory as addfile.exe... hard to believe it was that though. New Os.nb flashed just fine & i've got improved ImageON performance. It still pixelates somewhat but at least it doesn't tear up the whole screen any more...

must be my quirky kitchen :rolleyes:

edit: notes on ImageON pixelation: There's some good workarounds for this that still retain ImageON acceleration in the Coreplayer forums. apparently things work better in landscape mode....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
more on this: I didn't test right. When I set up coreplayer correctly, ImageON was still experiencing the same issues. My 8525 also showed this same problem on WM6 with the replaced ace_ddi.dll from the Cingular AKU3.3 rom. However, when I flashed the AKU3.3 ROM back onto my 8525, the problem went away

Conclusion: it would appear that there's more to this fix than simply the newer ace_ddi.dll
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gorgoyle:

Hi! Can you give me the ace_ddi.dll from rom, please?

I recently flashed the new fw.. The problem i noticed with it is that the sensor at the back that triggers the red LED is always active. I managed to disable it by actually using the heart rate monitor. And also by going to the hardware utility.. But after a few minutes it goes active again.. Anyone can help me disable this? Cant find the exact service that triggers this. I hope you can help me. Im on sm g900f btw

Uninstalling google fit fixed it for me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smileham:
I can confirm that this seems to have been the issue for me as well. Rather than uninstall Google Fit, I have had to disable the "Activity detection" setting in the Settings page.

This makes the application less functional, but means that the sensor is not always in use. Hopefully, either Google or Samsung will fix in the future.

Cheers

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newalopez:
Damn, it's true... hope they fix it, because I like to have it ON.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smileham:
Think this has now been fixed in the latest Google Play Services! (or at least I've re-enabled the activity detection and the light is no longer on! It's on APKMirror)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musicmanwins:
[solved] I found a way that worked for me!

Okay, so here is what I did:

I deleted the google fit app.

That didn't solve it so I tried doing the *#0*# thing.

That didn't work so I tried going to the S Health app and in the settings I turned the heart rate and stress monitor off and back on again. (S Health>more>manage items>the two features are towards the bottom of the page)

That solved it for me, I'm not sure if it is a permanent fix. But it will work until samsung fixes it.

Hope I helped ?

I liked LeanDroid. I used to get battery for more than 24 hours.

But with Lollipop, it needs root access.

Rooting is not easy with Lollipop

Hence, I am also stuck like you

Waiting for 5.01 version hoping to get some fixes.

Drain with my phone is not just WiFi Mobile network too and generally the green bar slopes down.

Kitkat and LeanDroid were good

You can still try LeanDroid

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzSP8:
Hey Guys 'n Gals

New Note 4 user here, had it about a week - Just wondering if there was any feedback on the reliability of them and what problem areas can be suggested to make sure work before I go root the thing?

I've been reading the last week about the Knox counter and it voiding the warranty when it inevitably trips during the root and believe there is no workaround as of yet?

I want to root and am familiar with the process as I did my Galaxy S1 and S3, but I waited for around a year before I did those - Unfortunately I got a little bit to used to it on my S3 and miss a lot of the features of a rooted phone :/

Trouble is I got my phone on contract and can't really afford to replace it if anything goes wrong with it (not yet anyways) so was hoping some real world users out there had any knowledge of any dangers I should be aware of.

So, my question in short is - Have there been many issues with the Note 4 that have required repairs and the like in any serious quantity?

I never had any problems with my S1 or S3 - Hoping the assurances from them can be passed on to the Note 4?

Thanks in advance for any advice and help that can be given :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
Umm...like just about every other piece of solid-state technology: pretty good. There's almost no moving parts to wear out. If it worked out of the box, it should be good for 3-5 years unless abused. Emphasis on that last part. >98% of phones that fail prematurely (and not including OBFs) did so as a result of user actions. Not defect.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzSP8:
Thanks :) -Yeah, I get that there are no moving parts and things but I don't tend to pay much attention to the Phone world as such, just when I need a new one LOL

Just browsing round the Net I came across an odd thread here and there that said that GPS wasn't working, and that the sound didn't work after so long using head phones - Random bits and pieces that didn't really cause me any real alarm but with it being a relatively new piece of kit I know that sometimes manufacturing defects can creep into products.

And, guess I just don't want to hurt my new piece of kit - Dotting i's, crossing t's before I take the chance is all :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiobookman:
just a word of advice, my note 2 which i passed to the wife only last month decided to die (SDS) that phone is nearly 2 1/2. Luckly i never rooted and samsung have said they will repair it (even though its out of warrenty).

I would personally wait until more problems if any start to happen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzSP8:
Thanks for that, interesting and good that Samsung are going to fix it :)

Out of interest, do you know what the problem is with it yet?

My friend had a Note 2 and had lots of problems in the early days of them, continually sending it back to Samsung etc - Got it fixed eventually but I don't think he was ever happy with how hot it got.

My Galaxy S1 is still going strong after 4+ years, my wife uses it for running and using as a GPS when she's doing her obstacle course races so it does take some abuse (it's in a waterproof case etc mind). My daughter is the proud owner of my recently retired S3 which is still going strong (asides from a battery that doesn't last) - I know Samsung stuff is *normally* reliable :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
Same as mentioned, It is Samsung and there are many spare parts for these phones.

I would be more worried if you had a SONY
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiobookman:
just a quick reply, my note 2 has got a faulty (insane) eMMc chip which becomes corrupted over time, this has failed the phone. This problem has been well documented in the note 2 forums, and the fault came to light about 2-3 months after the phone went on sale if memory serves. Samsung did patch the firmware - but from what i have read and understood this was like shutting the barn door after the cattle had bolted, the damage is already done and the firmware just delayed the inevitable.

Personally im waiting for a few months to see if any of these faults appear on the note 4 before i root (if i decide to).

Rooting is personal and if you dont need it then i would say dont bother, the note 4 is a speedy, and versatile without the need of root, i run a couple of apps that wont work with root (now tv comes to mind), whilst these silly providers impose this i will keep my hands cuffed until i decide to cancel these services.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] starbuckk:
I ran across an article that got my attention even though it was related to (sorry folks) iPads and iPhones. The author commented that since he got an iPhone 6+ his tablet has gotten neglected. Then proceeded to discuss ways of using both. Though the particular article was about iWhatevers, I have recently gotten a Galaxy Note 4 and am noticing my 10.1 being much less used.

So I'm curious. Are others here in the same situation? Do you have both a tablet and a phone? Are you using both effectively? What do you use to keep them integrated?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kcrudup:
That's 'cause despite Jobs' edict, most folks wanted something bigger to use daily and had to get a tablet to do so.

Personally, the effect of a tablet's been the reverse- when I got my first Android tablet nearly 4 years ago my phone was relegated to only being used to make phone calls and get directions and is still neglected most of the time; my tablet does everything else.

Hi,

slightly off topic, i have a habit of falling into devices

a good idea for excess devices that fall to the wayside

might be to network them as a home intercom/security system

with you phone as a remote monitor.

probably very helpful for care of elderly or disabled family/friends

with limited mobility, and more affordable than a professional/commercial

over-priced setup.

just a thought.

Currently own a note 3 and a note 10.1 (8013), use my phone for nearly everything. My tablet is currently a remote wake on lan for my desktop, a backup device for files, and a wall mounted clock/weather station. While my tablet doesnt get much attention its still very useful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] copc:

I have the Note 2 and Note 10.1 2012 edition; I usually have both on me at any given time, neither of them are neglected. I prefer my tablet for playing Ruzzle, taking notes, and reading in general. I love them both, will upgrade to the Note 4 in Feb :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] d4rkkn16ht:
I have Note 4 & GT-N8000.

At the first 5 days I neglected my Note 10.1 to learn all the features of Note 4, Root it & put some mod/tweak.

After that I'm back on using both of them equally.

I separate the function of both: N8000 mainly for creativity, ebook/article reading & Games + backup "phone", Note 4 mainly for appointment, business notes & main phone + backup creativity/games.

I even have just replaced my N8000 battery so it feels like a new device again.

The point is both are great devices on their own.

Tablet is bigger so it's better for reading, gaming & similar activities.

Phone is smaller so it's better for taking quick notes, phone calling, recording & similar activities.

By dividing the necessity based on size of the device I manage to get more benefit from both such as better battery life (Note 4 : 1 day,18hrs with 1.5hrs screen time + wifi,BT,NFC always on and GT-N8000: 15hrs,43mnt at 44% with new battery at the time I write this), easy to my eyes & better life organization.

And BTW, I also use both S-Pen very often.

That's how I use both my Note 4 & GT-N8000.

I have a Note 4. Should I get Note 10.1 or Nexus 10?

Ok so, I'm trying to decide between getting the Note 10.1 (2012) or the Nexus 10. I currently have a Note 4, and love the handwriting features, and I'm not sure if I'm willing to give that up for the Nexus 10. However, I notice that the Note 10.1 is only officially updated until like 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. And I love the Nexus 10 for the fact that it already has the latest updates.

My question is, is the Note 10.1 still a decently fast, capable tablet? And is it fairly easy to root? Or should I just go ahead and go with the Nexus 10?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] starbuckk:
I'm guessing low price is your motivation for getting the older model. Which is fair but do expect it to be a bit outdated.

My Note 10.1 still meets my needs. I applied the Gnabo ROM which brings it up to 4.4.2 and has the newer Samsung tools (S-Note, air command) and it works fine and it was easy to root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] shusuke028:
Cool. Thanks for the reply. I ended up going for the Nexus 10 just in case I decide to get into a little development. Just figured I'll either use my Note 4 for handwriting when I need it. Or just get a stylus for the Nexus 10 and deal with the lower amount of accuracy compared to a Note device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] starbuckk:
Hope the works out. Check out this stylus. I used it with my S4 before making the switch to a Note 4. Not as good as an s-pen but better than a crayon size stylus.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] icedlemontea:
I first bought the original Note phone on 2012, then bought the 10.1 when it went on sale. Have used both until the Note phone started to randomly crash, reboot, and battery swelled (enough to pop out the back cover). To be fair I had messed about with it lots, installing whatever ROM and kernels on it. I left it in my drawer once I bought the Xperia Z (best phone I've ever had). I only took it out again after I installed night owl CM 12 on it and bought a new battery, it now lives in my car, SIM less, using Nokia HERE for my navigation needs and is pretty good offline. New lease of life for the old boy lol.

The 10.1 saw less and less use after I switched to the Z, until recently when I picked it up again for use in my studies, and decided to format and start over again. Still on stock Samsung ROM, but it's enough. Carrying it around with me nearly all the time. Kind of regret not buying the 3G version but I can hot spot from the Z anyway. It's also really good for backing up photos from my camera while I'm out. 64gb microSD :p

Z in pocket, Note in car, Note 10.1 in bag with big back up battery in bag.....pretty much set until they give up lol, :fingers-crossed:
