[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I guess some OUYA users tried it for games that demanded more memory, but I'm not a OUYA user.

You can probably chalk this up to boredom, but I'm intrigued by the RAM Expander app by ROEHSOFT.

So I'm wondering if anyone's tried it with AFTV? And since I haven't read about it in these forums at all I'm guessing it's either incompatible or useless, since aftv comes with 2 gb and the app says "up to 2.5 gb"

Basically I'm just curious. I've heard it could put unnecessary strain on your device. Of course if it is safe I don't see the harm in using it. I'm just not certain it'll make a noticeable difference...and it is a bit costly but they offer a trial (I think.)

Like I said. It's a slow night. I'm just looking for some info or an opinion if you have it. Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
If your Fire TV is slow something is wrong. Maybe some high quality streams or videos may jitter, but the function should never be slow. I Have yet to get down lower than 680mb of ram. 2gb of ram and four cores is more than enough for any device and should never be slow.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
It's not slow. In fact it's very fast. But a wise man said the more ram the better (2 things there--1. I'm paraphrasing horribly

2. I'm NOT the wise man ;)

I do read here that people oc with hard to measure results. So while it was just an--I'm bored and curious type question, I feel like other people have considered possibilities of speeding things up. I've seen some streaming boxes from China with 4 gb yet the processor, I think, was on par or a bit less powerful than aftv.

I have no need to increase ram. Only scenario I think it MIGHT help (and this is through novice eyes) is if you're using the swap data option for games or perhaps storing thumbnails on usb. Maybe you'd get quicker reads??? But I could be way off there.

You did confirm what I thought--it's not necessary, but I'm thinking more along the lines is there any benefit?

Either way. I doubt I'll test it and definitely don't want to encourage any curious novices like myself to try. It's just if someone has tried it I'd be interested in hearing about it.
[Moto X Q&A] ribbitfish:
I have a Republic Wireless Moto x (XT1049) with an unlocked bootloader, and knowing how rare it is (literally 0 support on any thread/site/country), I'm still going to ask a few questions, maybe start a band of RWers with unlocked Moto Xs that will only survive by sticking together/cuddling for warmth.

Before anyone starts to disbelieve me, I do have an xt1049 (not confusing it) with an unlocked bootloader (not confusing it with simply being rooted). I achieved this by purchasing a $25 license for SunShine by the jcase crew, and it worked wonderfully for whoever is out there, looking to unlock you xt1049. Why did I want to fork out 25 bucks for this? I started to hate the grind with towelpieroot+xposed every time I turned my device on, plus things like Viper4Android (among others) don't work well with temp roots, plus no write protection off, which has its purposes.

So on to my questions, (1) are there any custom ROMs designed for XT1049? (Probably no, so before you tell me no, (1a) are there any that work with my model?)

(2) If no one knows 1 or 1a, theoretically, what would happen if I flashed a ROM, say, CM 11/12, onto my phone? Please, to avoid a clutter of responses that consist of "idk probs no," have some level of confidence before answering.

For the theorists, Republic has a bunch of republic things going on in the background for the plural wifis to work correctly, how would these services (wifi calling/stuff) be affected, but also how would more universal things (moto x line specifically, but universal across carriers)? I don't know a whole lot about carriers because I have a serious phobia of letter combinations like CDMA and LTE, but to help understanding the "universal things" I mentioned, looking at the CM11 download page, one ZIP file can be used to flash the XT1053, XT1056, XT1058, XT1060, XT1055, you get the point. OK you got me, to refine it down,(3) I'm just trying to get a complete understanding of what would happen without trying it. I might/probably/would try it some other day, I have a load of college on my plate so if I have to undo anything (another question: (4) would I be able to revert to republic stuff if I have the correct zip, or what would have to go wrong so that I wouldn't be able to get to my bootloader/recovery?) I don't pay my phone bill, and my pops would be pissed if he read this so that's why I might not want to test it, but if there is a way to return I will be ballsy anyway.

(5) A question that I've had for a while but I never needed it answered, bootloaders remain unlocked after an update, right? My old phone (RIP HTC design 4g ) lost support at 4.2 and I never updated it the entire time it was rooted/unlocked. My moto on the other hand has 4.4.4 coming out soon and yeah I don't know the answer to it. I think it's implied it stays unlocked, but no one ever says it directly...

Well, thanks if you made it this far! And I would link whatever I could but I am a new user to this site and I'm restricted, you can just look up Sunshine jcase if interested.
[Moto X Q&A] PackerDroid:
Hi, this is my first time posting on xda, so I apologize ahead of time if I don't do it correctly. I'm also very interested in what can be done with a Republic Wireless Moto X (2013) in order to update to 4.4.4 and still be able to use TowelPieRoot and Xposed. I also looked at the SunShine unlocker but have not tried it yet. I'm currently on 4.4.2 and I just go the update notification today for 4.4.4 (much later than my wife's phone, which does not have TowelPieRoot or Xposed). Just wondering if you had any success with updating and still remaining unlocked and able to use TowelPieRoot and Xposed. Thanks for any feedback!
[Moto X Q&A] gxdaspark:
Unlocked boot loader...

Today I unlocked the boot loader on my Republic Wireless XT1049, since they were trying to force me to upgrade to android 4.4.4 from 4.4.2, and I realized that running Sunshine on 4.4.2 would be my last opportunity for unlocking the boot loader, before upgrading. I haven't yet rooted or updated to 4.4.4. Have either of you upgraded to 4.4.4 android with an uplocked boot loader, and re-rooted? Is there anything different about root in 4.4.4 vs 4.4.2, if you have an unlocked boot loader? Would the "Rooting Unlocked Bootloader" instructions in this guide work in android 4.4.2 and/or 4.4.4? Or, would Sunshine SUInstaller make that unnecessary? (Hopefully SUInstaller would work in 4.4.4...)
[Moto X Q&A] bstevens23:
I'm on 4.4.2 with an unlocked bootloader from when the china man was giving out unlock codes. Having my code guarantees that I can unlock my bootloader even after locking it again for an update. I'm not sure how Sunshine works but be careful before taking the 4.4.4. update and do lots of research before doing anything to your device.

To answer some questions:

CM11 and CM12 will flash fine. The problem you'll have is a loss of phone functionality. With Republic, their app is baked into their custom ROM. But you can use it like a tablet and get a feel for what lollipop will look like on our phone. Make sure you have a nandroid backup or you'll lose everything. CM11 requires a wipe before it will install and CM12 requires you have CM11 (at least it did the last I checked) so you'll want to make sure you have a backup so you can get your working RW ROM back. Otherwise you'll have to flash the Stock RW ROM and start from scratch.

I've done lots of digging and have been able to get the Republic app working on CM11 and CM12 but the functionality is still missing. My tweaks allow texts on CM11 but it's from the "hidden number" not the RW number and the formatting is messed up upon receiving a message. Calls don't work at all on either ROM.

I posted a thread in General with my instructions to get the app working. I'm hoping someone with more ROM knowledge than myself can take a look at the RW Stock ROM and see what else needs to be moved into a CM ROM to give us functionality. I tried moving everything over and skipping duplicates and now I've seriously messed my phone up and will likely have to relock, unlock, flash TWRP and hope I can restore from my TWRP backup.

I've only tried CM11 and CM12, I have no idea how another ROM will affect our phone. Chances are you'll end up in an endless boot after flashing. You could brick the phone though, or end up in a situation like I'm currently in.
[Moto X Q&A] gxdaspark:
Thanks for the warning about upgrading. I still haven't decided to allow my phone to upgrade to 4.4.4 android, but the most immediate issue I face with not upgrading is that my phone automatically downloaded the update, and now it is incessantly prompting me to install it. I have found any way to stop the annoying prompting. I would rather wait before updating, because there are always details you don't know about such upgrades, and I have no pressing need for the upgrade, except that ultimately I would like to be able to root my phone, also allow for writing to the system partition, so that recording calls would be possible.

You raise a good point in mentioning your capability to lock and unlock the boot loader. As far as I know Sunshine only unlocks the boot loader. I haven't seen that it provides any code or other means for re-locking it. It is also my understanding that technically there are 3 possible locking states of the boot loader. The factory state not only being locked but also indicating that it was never unlocked. It's my understanding that once a boot loader is unlocked, it can be re-locked, but never restored to the factory locked state that indicates it was never unlocked. That said, I don't know whether it matters if the boot loader is unlocked when running the Republic Wireless upgrade. In other threads I had read claims that once a boot loader is unlocked, that it should remain unlocked after OS upgrades, and as such, in a state that would allow for rooting. But, I am far from an expert on that.

I hope there will be others who are willing to collaborate in your endeavors to reverse engineer the ROM that you are working on. Are you pursuing that because nobody has been able to root a Republic Wireless XT1049 on android 4.4.2 with a ROM? It seems that the original poster found some way to root 4.4.2 with his unlocked boot loader. I would be interest to know how he did that.
[Moto X Q&A] bstevens23:
I have yet to update to 4.4.4 because I've heard of people having problems with Messenger after the update. I'm waiting to see how my wife's phone functions on it before I make the leap and get the stock recovery back to take the OTA. Until then, I get the obnoxious update warning constantly as well. I could probably freeze the app with Titanium, we'll see if it bothers me enough in the next few days. I'm not sure if the bootloader will need to change for the update as I've only ever had 4.4.2 since I was bootloader unlocked. I know flashing the stock recovery is needed and I feel like that may require a relocked bootloader. As far as I know, from a software/OTA side at least, relocked and locked are equal. Republic/Moto would care about relocked but I don't think the system throws any flags for taking stock software updates because of it.

I'm pursuing this because I want CM12 to test out Lollipop since I have no idea when Republic is going to push it out to us. I haven't heard of Sprint getting soak tests yet and we're typically 2-3 months behind Sprint. Waiting until May when Google I/O takes place will be difficult for me, especially if they break their current trend and announce the next version of Android.

My goal is much more ambitious than just CM12 though. I got the Republic app to recognize CM11 as native, meaning if someone can figure out which radio portions I'm missing and get the phone functioning as if it were the Republic ROM, we would not be restricted to just the stock ROM/software anymore. I've been an Android user for a few years now and I've always had the ability to flash whatever I wanted if it was available for my device. Since joining RW, I'm extremely restricted. I have 1 ROM option, which is only helpful because it allows Xposed. But I no longer have the ability to test the newest version of Android whenever I please, or to give a custom ROM a spin if I feel like it. If we can figure out what makes the RW ROM function properly, that wouldn't be a restriction anymore. That's my goal.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm doing. The best I can do is compare files and try pulling random things. I'm hoping someone with more ROM knowledge will be able to take a look at the RW ROM and see which pieces I'm missing. I feel like CM12 is going to be a bit more complicated though, and might not be possible at this time. We'll see though. I know something is getting screwed up with the MEID because the Republic app doesn't recognize an MEID at all. How to go about fixing that? Beyond me.

[XDA Assist] Weirdkart:
Hi everyone , I own a lenovo k900 running on Intel atom x86 chipset . The phone's battery backup is worst , on tracing I found that the CPU uses most of the power. I tried turning off the hyper threads (detected as 2x cores) the battery lasted ffor 2 ½ hours more in idle state .But when I started camera , the device failed to initialize the camera , so I had to restart the phone .

I want to build a kernel for my device which supports hotplugging and boost the CPU to max only when I initialize camera , games like asphalt 8 runs without lag even when the threads are off .

Can someone help me with this ? Please

What do people think? Especially with 4.4.2 seemingly being the norm now. Easiest to install? Easiest to unroot? Least buggy? Compatibility? Any others than the above you prefer?
[G2 General] mrSpinx:
Hi, for me the best are towelroot and stump root because don't need pc but only an apk. The best was towelroot but it only work for build < jun 3 2014. Stump root now work perfect but it isn't simple to unroot, you need to reflash stock rom, because it makes low level changes, without flash stock you can only remove su binary.

Hello.

I was merrily using my Samsung note 3 and my gear 2 over on Page Plus, and then I decided to switch that combo to be my main phone setup because I liked it so much. I moved the phone to my Verizon plan instead of moving the number to my Page Plus account, and that my be my undoing...

My phone received an update to 4.4.4 and I, being new to android, downloaded it. Now my battery life is horrible, and my very favorite app for the Gear 2 (Pattern Dialer) doesn't work. (now it dials the call, but the call connects through the phone, instead of through the watch)

So- what are my options here? I gather that I can't go back now that I accepted the poison, er-update. Is that true?

I am planning on doing a hard reset to see if that improves the battery life, and uninstalling Skype. Is there anything else I can do?

I sent an e-mail to the developer of Pattern Dialer, do you think is is possible to fix that problem?

And last, but not least- If the phone were to somehow to get back to 4.3, how do I block OTA updates in the future?

So super frustrated that Verizon can break my phone! I was so happy before! :crying:

Thanks so much for your help.
