[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maraxion:
Hello.

Iv got an old S2 that is sluggish and 2.5 years old. Never been reset. Iv currently just done a backup with kies, but Iv understood there might be other things I can do?

Iv been reading alot about bloatware, backups, roms(kitkat, CYANOGENMOD 11 etc) But since Im new to this im uncertain where to go and what todo. Hoping that someone can point me in the right direction and give me some advice. Links guides, advice. Anythign would be great. Im a basic user so I dont need alot of fancy stuff, but I need a stable phone with minimum extra stuff for a better battery.

In advance thanks.

You should get slimsaber rom by Fusionjack. Rock solid and excellent battery life with dorimanx kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maraxion:
Ok.

Any guide/advice what do do and in what order? I have no idea how to do this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
If you have stock android android 4.1.2, reboot your phone to download mode (volume down + home button + power button) then flash this file via odin (select it for PDA or AP): https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/Stock/PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS3-FOP-5.15.9.tar.md5

Then, you will need to download slimsaber rom onto your phone:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717067763

Then you will need to download dorimanx 10.44 v008 onto your phone:

http://dorimanx.cybernetus.com/10/Kernel_Dorimanx-V10.44v008-[08-39]-[27-12]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip

Now you will need to reboot to recovery (volume up + home button + power button):

- Select and confirm factory reset

- Select and confirm wipe cache

- In mounts and storage, select format system and preload (if it doesn't format preload, don't worry)

- Go back to the main menu

- Go to flash a zip

- Select the storage space you've downloaded the rom and kernel into

- Install slimsaber rom

- Install dorimanx kernel

- Choose reboot phone/system

- Enjoy your new rom! :)

If it says error 7 or whatever error it is, your recovery is outdated, you will have to flash this first, then you will be able to flash slimsaber rom and dorimanx kernel:

What a great post gsstudios, thanks! Il be trying this for sure.

So then by this il have rooted the phone and intalled a new room? But wil dooing this also reset the phone so Il have to reinstall all the programs manualy? Also, wil I then be able to get rid of all this bloatware that comes with the phone? Alot of google and samsung crap I never use that keeps updating.

Also on computers, game consoles iv worked with you always seem to backup the rom, kernal, etc before doing something. This is not needed here?

Hi! I am new here, and first I would like to thank all you (and especially the image providers) for your fantastic work, which has made my blueangel experience much better than it could ever be with the old, out-of-date original software!

I swear I've read the FAQs and searched the forum, but I really cannot find the answer to my question.

Here it is: I've got a strange issue with all the WM5 ROMs I've tried up to now (I've got the latest my baniaczek now): when writing a text message (SMS), when I reach the fifth line, all the characters/words I've written in that very line start moving horizontally back and forth in the range of maybe sthg like 20-30 px. When I write a character, everything moves right, when I enter the following character all the line goes back to its original position.

I know it is strange and difficult to explain, and moreover not severe, but sometimes it's a bit annoying as the keyboard hangs and llllllllllllots of letters appear before I can stop it...

Does anyone has the same issue? Does anyone know its cause?

Thank you very much!!!

Please excuse me if this has already been asked and answered, I'm very sorry in that case. Thanks for the patience, please don't hate a novice ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mokhabarat:

i have that same problem too...the random typing one...a t first i just thought that there's something wrong with the buttons on my keyboard but it seems that its a software problem....lemme know if u find a solution

but i cannot test the keyboard since my flexicable worn out ...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] darkwings:
Thank you very much for this feedback! At least I'm not the only one...

Indeed :) I had forgotten to say that it happens only using the hardware keyboard, while using the software one in the same conditions doesn't cause this behaviour. Who knows?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
sometimes i get that error too.

I am just trying different settings in the system to see how it goes
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
Solution id damn easy.

If someone have similar problems do this:

Go to "settings -> system -> keyboard & backlight -> repeat settings" all you have to do, is to extend the repeat delay, and slower the repeat rate.

I also disabled the word incompletion stuff.

It flashes the correct and latest recovery for your model phone regardless of what rom, firmware or current custom recovery. You choose from Philz, Twrp, or CWM recoveries.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNibbler:
Hi all,

This may be a noob question but would prefer to find out before I accidentally brick my phone.

I'm currently running stock 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.757 rooted with Towelroot on my xperia z1c and there's a system update available OTA for 4.4.4 14.4.A.0.108.

I'm wondering if I can update OTA without bricking it, has anyone done this or know if there's anything I should be careful of before I try to update?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to flash Touchscreen firmware on my 9295?

(like the Modem-firmware)

My touchscreen is not responsive in CWM or TWRP (both touch-versions) but works 100% when booted into GUI.

Came across some (old) threads on XDA and here and there this option was mentioned.

I already tried to flash the original firmware (containing this Touchscreen-firmware?) but that didn't solve the problem.

Right now i'm stuck....so any ideas are very welcome!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Hello people,

I have lollipop on both phones my old Note 3 which has the 2 months ago leaked 5.0 and Note 4 Poland 5.0.1. Now that I have both of them next to each other, I can tell you that the Note 3 is way fluid, smoother in animation and faster than the Note 4. I'm not sure why but it feels like Note 3 is the newer not the Note 4.

For example, downloading apps from google play you can see this mil second pause on the moving bar but on the Note 3 is non stop. Even when scrolling on long list I can tell that the animation is lower than 30 FPS but on the Note 3 is over 50fps for sure.

What could be the reason behind this? is it the 2k display? or is it the GPU on the SD? or the Note 3 software is better optimized ?

would love to hear from you.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] qazzi76:
I too am very curious about this.

Is your note 4 snapdragon or exynos?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
He has the Polish 5.0.1 Samsung firmware, so it's Exynos.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] droidelec:
Hi all,

I have N910C, flashed fresh over Odin 3.09 and it is working really great on my device, way way better and responsive than on KitKat 4.4.4. This time Samsung done great job with TW, no more lag.

I never liked to make OTA update as it is kind "dirty", especially when we have so huge update from KitKat to Lollipop.

dalvik -> art etc, a lot of things which make huge impact on performance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
Id say the higher resolution is the reason, although the note 4 has faster hardware the extra 1000 pixels is a tough weight to pull. With that samsung likely reduced animation frames to conserve power and fluidity.

Back when lcd tech was only just starting to roll and 720p was the most common standard, we all felt a big hit moving to 1080p. I remember lots of people having to update systems just to keep their gaming withdrawls in check, ahh the days.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] megatooth:
Where did you get 1000 pixels from?! Note 4's screen has over 1.5 million more pixels than Note 3's.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
A 1000 more pixel lines i ment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Spo0f:
Even before the update my brothers Note 3 was more fluid and smooth in compare to my Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
I thought so too, but i did find app initiation time and response was slightly better on note 4 from memory. I concluded that the animation fps was lower on note 4 and less appealing but overall was more stable.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Who ever say it because of the higher resolution, I started to doubt that. I own Tab S 8.4 as well which is based on 4.4.2 and has less powerful CPU with QHD screen just like the Note 4. The animation on the Tab s is more fluid than the Note 4 which has better CPU/GPU. I really started to think that the software is not optimized as much as it needs to be and I bet you that people with 805 SD will see a better animation and smoothness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
My note 4 definetly smoother than my old note 3s(have exynos and snapdragon both on lollipop) and in app opening its way faster.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Is your note 3 on lollipop ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Yes on official
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Interesting,

Because even my friend who has N910c lollipop said the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Dunno when i put them side by side note 4 is definetly faster. And even before update note 3 was better seriously? 4.4.2 on note 3 sucks imo i wrote that alot of time if they wouldnt upgrade that tw i wouldnt touch any other samsung phone. 1st responsive and smooth tw on any samsung phone i tested was note 4 exynos. And with 5.0.1 its even better i have a nexus 5 too and samsung did a great job with this update in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bnghty:
I flashed my 910F with 5.0.1 today and the phone felt sluggish and worse then kitkat.

made a factory reset and now its perfect. didn't find any lag at all so far, finally feels like lollipop. (and got my first 50k on antutu with a stock touchwiz rom)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
n910F is the SD type isn't ? interesting it might help me with factory reset !!

I will try to do that and re install everything back again.:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
You updated from 4.4.4 and didnt do any wipe?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Nope.. I updated through odin and used the firmware from sammobile.com
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
It explains your problems then.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
How? Because i didnt do factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alhaddar1996:
i did the same , should i be worried ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Well after big updates like this its always recommended to do a factory reset/wipe
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
well the average user(which is 99% of the people that own a smartphone) and that will get this upate OTA and not flash it through ODIN ,will never think of making a factory reset. so it's not that trivial that the phone will feel sluggish after updating without a factory reset. that's the ''normal'' way of updating..without a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Worried? Depends. your phone wont blow up or die. But you can have hotter device,bad battery life and performance problems. But if everything fine for you now there is nothing to worry about.

Hi XDA's community !

I'm a new user of a xiaomi mi2s 32GB and i have some questions , i'm also a big noob in english , so don't look at my english please (or say something constructive) =)

Well , I did some test with my new smartphone , I've installed CWM 6.0.5.0 and sMIUI (v5.2.7) , it is working very well

In antutu there is 32k with perf mode BUT I've discover my CPU (during some tests or when i'm playing games) is really warm

Once in antutu it reboot (ed ?) , i think for the safe program when it is too hot.

When i'm playing at GTA:vc or Simcity for exemple the screen become really warm.

So i decided to download an app for take the temperature(cpu temp) ...

Results : ( IN CELSIUS DEGREES )

average temp in miui : 28°C

average temp in antutu : 61°C

average temp in gta : vc : 73°C

I was really shocked by the results , and i ask you if there is any danger to playing games like gta on my mi2s

this smartphone has a Snapdragon 600 (QuadCore) at 1.7Ghz with a adreno 320 GPU chipset

Thank you very much for reading

Bye , amically Papaya !
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mehdoux:
Hi/Salut,

FRENCH VERSION

Même si les résultats peuvent paraître impresionnants à première vue, ce n'est pas extrêmement dangereux. Oui, c'est un problème connu avec le MI2S (problème de conception ? de driver/kernel ? de CPU/GPU qui chauffe trop ? toutes ces possibilitées ensembles ? etc...) et il n'y a pas beaucoup d'autre solutions que l'undervolt et l'underlock. En espérant t'avoir aidé !

ENGLISH VERSION

Even if the temperatures may be impressive, this is not extremely dangerous. Well, its a known problem with the MI2S, and there is no real solution expection undervolting and undervolting the CPU/GPU. Hope this helps !
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Papaya59:
Hello :)

Tu m'as bien fais rire , mon niveau en anglais est si exécrable que ça ?

en tout cas merci de ta réponse , j'avais fait quelques recherches mais rien de bien explicite par rapport a la température de nos chers procs , j'ai bien essayé l'underclock mais la consommation de ma batterie augmente (serais-ce dû à l'exploitation de plusieurs coeurs en underclock alors que sans de limitation cpu il n'en qu'un ou 2 ? je ne sais pas)

i'll talk in english , same if i'm bad , because if the others can't uderstand me isn't realy worth it for the XDA's community ( if you understand me xD )

Thank for your reply ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 2] mehdoux:
Hi,

Non, au contraire, ton anglais est parfaitement compréhensible ! J'ai juste pensé que ce serait plus simple pour deux personnes qui parlent français couramment de parler en français. J'ai ensite traduit en anglais pour que toutes les personnes tombant sur ce sujet puissent comprendre. M'enfin, tu as raison, parlons en anglais. (ça m'évitera de traduire au moins ! :D )

Answer

So, no, this is not normal that your battery usage increases when you underlock your CPU. I'll advise you to switch to the "Battery Saving" mode of the ROM to see if there is some improvements (Settings >>>> Performance >>>>> Profile >>>>> select battery saving mode instead of balanced or performance). Otherwise, I would suggest you to backup your data, and reflash completely the rom to start from scratch. You will surely feel a difference. By the way, you will surely fix your notification bar problem.
[Samsung Gear VR] stevegee111:
OK, Just went to Best Buy to demo the gear VR. First - the demo time is limited to 3 minutes which made it a little difficult to get a good idea.

My major problem with the demo was the image quality. Now I was not expecting miracles. I have read the forums and expected sd effect but this was major sd. Large pixels were unfocused where one could see the red/green/blue. It was almost like an old crt that had been badly focused. I almost wondered if they had a bum unit.

I was watching the trailers in the movie theaters btw.

So Im wondering - is this basically the quality one should expect from the VR currently? Has anyone had experience loading their own films on the unit and is the quality better than the trailers loaded on the unit?

Any opinions would be appreciated (Again - Im wondering if the unit they had was just a bad one)

Thanks
[Samsung Gear VR] sfld:
Did you try adjusting the focus wheel?
[Samsung Gear VR] stevegee111:
Yes - the focus wheel had little to no effect. Almost as if it was there for show.

Possibly broken but remember it's only a QHD screen so there will be pixels visable. We need to wait for 8k screens... I love me gearvr and amazed our phones offer this ability

[Samsung Gear VR] sawdoctor:
Sounds like a defective unit to me. Yes the picture isn't perfect but "unfocused and can see the red/green/blue "definitely not. I've watched gravity, avatar ,xmen and godzilla all in 3d on the vr and obviously it's not like watching in on a hd TV but you are watching it on a 100ft large screen in a virtual cinema which you can't do at home
[Samsung Gear VR] stevegee111:
Wondering - Has anyone loaded on hd rips of movies and watched them vs the trailers that they have pre-loaded?

Is the quality improved? Maybe their trailers are low bit rate. Thanks
[Samsung Gear VR] Seurot:
Doesn't sound broke. I can always see the red/green/blue in pixels when focused. It always reminded me of CRT TVs.
[Samsung Gear VR] Hardcore73:
I don't see the red/green/blue at all. Sounds like defected units. Also my pixals are extremely small. Maybe because I have 15/20 vision with my contacts in? I don't know.
