[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastate2014:
How often with current trends would a hardware refresh be necessary on android streaming boxes . From a developers standpoint does this cause as many issues as it would on say a xbox or ps4? I see so many people reference that Fire TV is getting long in the tooth already? It seems to me that many of the set top boxes are outdated already at release to keep the cost down? In there current state can they really compete in the gaming arena with the likes of Microsoft or Sony? I am A laymen when it comes to development but would love to learn what a dev has to do to put a game on Fire TV or Google Play?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
These days, most electronic devices are obsolete after a few months, but not to me. I use my electronics til they stop working or I get something new. I still have an original Apple TV that I use all the time. Do not ever let people tell you when you need to replace your device. If it works, use it. A good example of this is the Galaxy Note 4 on AT&T, I commented the other day that I never thought it would get root, cause it was already three months old and it had not happened yet, so everyday it does not happen is another day that someone is losing interest in hacking it, and that developers are always looking for the next big thing. Just me saying that got the thread closed, but its true. If the Fire TV 2 came out next week a lot of people would say our Fire TV was garbage even though it works just fine. If my Fire TV last five years then it will get used for five years, period. Don't let anyone ever tell you when your device is outdated, make that decision for yourself. Normal people would never be ready to buy a new car or home every six months, but when it comes to electronics, a lot of people wanna throw away their device every time the new thing comes out. Those people are lame as hell, and only want new phones, tablets etc, cause society tellls them its cool to have it. I am still using the first Galaxy Note and will continue to do so till it dies. I have replaced the screen and went through two batteries exploding, and its still works, so why upgade? These devices are for casual gaming, not hardcore gaming. Android boxes were never meant to compete with or replace gaming consoles. All the people that say that the Android boxes are taking over game consoles are unintelligent. Android boxes provide a different type of gaming experience then modern gaming consoles and til google decides to make an android gaming consoles they will never be able to compete with sony or microsoft. I also doubt google would ever turn Android into a big time gaming platform, but I do think google will release a gaming console in the future to compete with sony, microsoft and nintendo, just won't be an android console.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I'm actually with porkenheimer on this. I have good equipment but I've become sort of a hoarder of electronics. Lots of stuff is older than 8 years and whether it's an external hdd or an old laptop or even an iPod, I've had amazing luck fixing things and I DO find a purpose for it. I've used laptops from a decade ago as ubuntu servers, got xbmc running on some.

I actually benefitted from people discarding what they think is broken and/or obsolete.

As for aftv, I don't think the hardware is the reason development will slow down. It's more to do with Amazon's resistance to opening it up.

In fact, I have looked around, here & abroad and I've found some good possible replacements but not in the price range of aftv. The processor will be a tad less powerful with the same amount of ram or the processor and ram will be better but the price is over bloated. But for now, I don't think you'll find a faster experience for the price. Once it gets to the $200 range I'm thinking of building an htpc or investing the money elsewhere because I'm satisfied with what's happening on my TV.

Of course I think if cyanogenmod becomes a reality on aftv, the hardware will be put to better use. Fast is great but fire os, imho, is not a worthy os.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastate2014:
Thank you both I appreciate your words of wisdom. I agree its so easy to pile up old hardware. I don't know why the android media streamers have become such a point of interest. I currently own Fire TV, Ouya, Madcatz Mojo, Android TV ADT1, and in the end they all basically do the same thing:) So, yes maybe its time for me to stand back and say to myself "What exactly am I trying to do with these devices"? I do no I have been searching for that box that has all my streaming apps and games with extra power to spare? The closest I have come so far is a modified Madcatz Mojo which has HBO Go, Showtime, Starz, Encore, Netflix, Hulu, Etc. its far from perfect! I have been eyeing (though I need to Stop:D) the forthcoming Razer Forge or Snail Games Obox? I dont like how amazon has locked out root, and all the proprietor y parts of the OS. Eight gig of storage is a joke for anyone who likes games?

You developers out there when you release your code on a device does it have to be custom configured for each chipset you release it on? Say you upgraded fire TV to the Qualcomm 810 would each app require modification?

i do enter download mode but not in recovery mode to perform a wipe data.

i can flash stock rom and odin say pass in green but the phone reboot at samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9005 with recovery booting in blue on top of screen
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
I don't understand the part I bold. Is it bootloop still, even after flashing a stock ROM via Odin successfully? That's weird!

I think you can wipe your phone via ADB, not sure though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodyrach:
Yes exactly!

Even after flash stock rom via odin it still bootloop just at start up.

What is ADB? Please help me to do that.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodyrach:
before I start any thing

I understand the need to enable usb debugging in settings before using ADB.

is it important? because my phone does not start so I can access the settings to enable usb debugging
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodyrach:
Hi i have already use pit file with stock rom via odin. same result. bootloop at the logo. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Yes mate, I think its needed to be enabled. Still you can try and see if your phone shows up on ADB or not, there will be a six or eight digit code appearing on the ADB screen if the phone is successfully connected, but I guess you know that already by reading that topic.

You can ask ADB related queries in that topic too, I guess.

Do update here whatever happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodyrach:
My phone dont show up on ADB.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
So you type adb device, and the device isn't showing up? Ah, that's normal I guess, knowing you can't turn on USB Debugging. I am out of help sadly. You need to get in touch with more advanced users now. I don't know if it's possible to turn on a phone's USB debugging mode without booting into the OS. You could ask in that topic though.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Slipurson:
I have done some testing with PC Mark and 3D Mark on mine and my girlfriends Galaxy S5. (SM-G900F)

My S5 is at 5.0 and hers at 4.4.2 and the change from Dalvik to ART is definitely noticable.

Did several tests and the average scores was as follows :)

Phones are completely stock, the only difference is the Androidversion and that mine had its mainboard changed a few days ago (this is when it got updated to 5.0). Both phones had the same amount of free RAM when the benchmarks was started. Also mine (5.0) has alot more apps installed.

PCMark

5.0/4.4.2 : 4358/3542

Detailed info (red text is the average for the S5)

Web : 3642/2945 (3137)

Video : 4239/3713 (3818)

Writing : 5101/3941 (3725)

Photoedit : 4383/3653 (3802)

3D Mark

5.0/4.4.2 : 19298/17771

Detailed info (red text is the average for the S5)

Graphics : 20502/18948 (19139)

Physics : 16009/14598 (15489)

GFX-Test 1 : 107.3/104.3 (104)

GFX-Test 2 : 76.2/68.1 (69)

Physics test : 50.8/46.3 (49)

I am not trying to show of here or start some competition or something. I just want to show the difference between ART and Dalvik. I knew there would be better performance with 5.0, but not by this much.

With 4x MSAA (in hidden devsection) activated on the 5.0 S5, the score fell down just below the 4.4.2 S5.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanbailie:
I replied also in your G+ post, but I think your phone may actually be dead. Usually something will happen if you press volume down + power for 10 seconds or so. The display should at least attempt to turn on. I've got an old Moto Razr HD that's dead too, and the only thing that works on it is the red charging LED.

Is it possible for you to purchase a Nexus 5 off swappa.com or a member here for cheap? You can get some decent phones pretty inexpensively nowadays. Nexus 5, Moto X/G, etc.

Hello bisat, whole italian users have this same problem.

There isn't any italian rom with wm6 working......it is so frustrating :(

I associate to his question.....how can we perform a new rom including italian language in the menu and also for inputs (like T9 ;) )......which tools we have to work with? Please someone helps us because Htc doesn't...

only vodafone made a new updating rom, but it's only with wm5 edition :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cavallino:
Before the "new" Vodafone rom (TEST ROM) you couldn't even find any Italian wm5 rom, right? And wm5 has been out for quite some time :D

So how can you expect NOW a pre-made wm6 rom in Italian language? :rolleyes:

Until someone or we all contribute in translating (like germans are doing...see the relative thread) then you can only dream about it :)

But anyway... I don't know if its worth it anyway... I mean, it will take a lot of time and work and when we finish maybe wm6 will be released officially... in Italian.

So I suggest you to be happy of what you can test now about wm6 (which is a lot anyway) :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] croweland:
If there's any possibility, the best is to create an Italian group for the translation to Italian language, just the same that the Deutch group is doing.

We are thousands here and do you think nobody here has better things to do instead of explaining to a noob how to code a full language?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob

Believe me, is faster and easier to learn how to use a TyTN in english than to learn how to code a national language!

You should be very young, is the only excuse!

Please insert the brain before starting writing! (and read at least for one month before startin asking again all over the xda-developers!) AMEN

Sergio caro, almeno avessi avuto l'accortezza di dire che e' troppo complicato da fare, sarebbe tutto chiuso qua, ok?

Vedo che l'arroganza abbonda in noi italiani, io per primo.

E soprattutto, vista la tua maleducazione, inseriscilo tu il cervello prima di parlare.

Sorry to tue others members, only a little mistake with sergiopi.

I notice that arrogance and diseducation in italian people, first of all me, are so excessive that i'm embaressed.

I asked an explanation...if someone told me that translete the WM6 rom in italy is too difficoult by a n00b, not would have been any problem!

So, sergiopi has insulted me, with his arrogance.

I have read all Hermes 6 threads in the past 2 weeks, so sergiopi, please insert YOU the brain before starting writing!

And since this is a public forum, i may ask or write all the times i want.

If i write or ask noob questions, moderators may ban me.

Stop, that's all folks.

Edited:

I DON'T ASK YOU TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR ME.

I simply ask if someone may explain me how i ONLY translate the rom.

It's too complicated? I will use my hermes with english OS.

Form you words, i notice that You are to young to write here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
This will be slightly OT but anyway...

I prefer to use English version of whatever software I am using. Personally I can not imagine working with phone in my language (never had any localized phone OS). Using an english version of WM6 will help you improve your english. If you are looking for input in your language - your hermes comes with great hardware keyboard - with little reg hack and edited sym.txt you will be able to input just about any symbol you might need. There may be a paid localization software in your language, try to find out. Good luck :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sergiopi:
I agree, arrogance was the the problem :), not Italy :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dietcoke:
Oh sure...you're right! Use it in english is a good try to improve my english!

About the keyboard and sms there's no problem, searched on wiky and solved all the problems..( a minor problem obviously, a visual problem! :) )

I use at work so much english that i'm bored of it! eheheh :p

I'd like to use my "games"..phone, ipod, car radio in my language, 'cause i love it so much! :D

No problem, i use it in english...i understand that it is a hard try for me, i'm only a n00b...but if someone told me directly, all this thread would be unnecessary..!

Perhaps,in this forum our poor n00b must be lucky and try to understand what certain senior members say.

No problem, i'll return to lurk this forum, avoiding to post to not irritate anyone!

Concerning English - I only noted my language preferrence for gadgets/computers (you can be sure I love my language too :D). If you are still willing to start the project ask German gyus for tools/info. There has also been a Chinese version of WM6 floating around, try to ask that guy as well. Hopefully though there will be a localization included in a final version of WM6 or provided by a local operator.

May be I was too "direct" but when is needed IS needed (quando ce vo' ce vo' :) )

The 3D on WM6 italian ROM otherwise is an important 3D were to collect all Italian Hermes developers. I am testing your tool on LVSW and on Black 2.0 (no keyboard version) and I believe it is an important tool for Italian customizzation of WM5-6 ROMs
