[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
I bought my S5 at the end of January so it's been around a month now. If by multitasking you mean opening a few programs (NOT GAMES) and expect them to still be loaded when you go back to them then yes, the S5's 2GB RAM is enough (I always have at least 300MB free). But if by multitasking you mean opening tens of programs and playing high end games at the same time, then I think even the Note 3's 3GB won't be enough for you :D

I too thought that 2GB is pure **** for a 2014 phone seeing as a variant of the S3 had 2GB, but I was wrong. Phone flies through whatever I throw at it :)

Hello, My T-Mobile MDA (just reflashed with the Faria Crossbow WM6) is not pairing with any of my bluetooth headsets. When I initiate a pairing, the devices are found and a request for a pass code comes up. I enter the pass code that I know is correct and then I'm thold that the MDA cannot connect to the device or that the passcode is incorrect. Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm running Faria Crossbow "Real Thing". I am pairing with my GPS and my wireless microphone, both of which required security codes, and both are working fine.

Try a hard reset and see if it works without any of your own applications loaded. If it does, then see if you can figure out which application is the problem. If it does not, re-flash.

Good luck,

Reserve: advance setup

To speed up the building process I've taken the process a step further, instead of building the kernel with the recovery,

I'd build both seperately and use the zImage as a prebuilt image, that way whenever I can "mka recoveryimage", I dont have to go through the process of building the zImage, even though it might already be built and fast enough, I'd rather just skip it all,

if you want to do the same, follow this.

For this part I'm assuming you know how to build a kernel, so i wont go through it.

so open $droid_root/device/BRAND/DEVICE/Boardconfig.mk

TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/BRAND/DEVICE
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := cyanogenmod_endeavoru_defconfig

replace it with this

TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := LOCATION_TO_PREBUILT_ZIMAGE
TARGET_PREBUILT_RECOVERY_KERNEL := LOCATION_TO_PREBUILT_ZIMAGE

open AndroidBoard.mk

Note: your AndroidBoard.mk may already have this, so be sure to check before replacing anything.

ALL_PREBUILT += $(INSTALLED_KERNEL_TARGET)

Replace With

file := $(INSTALLED_KERNEL_TARGET)
ALL_PREBUILT += $(file)
$(file): $(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL) | $(ACP)
$(transform-prebuilt-to-target)

and you're done,

Now whenever you run "mka recoveryimage", a prebuilt zImage will be used,

and whenever you rebuild your kernel, "mka recoveryimage" would use that image.

As I am new to this 'building from source', I could not understand your statement ' I just updated the repo to allow for that'. What exactly, I will have to do to achieve my goal as I stated previously?
[Android Software Development] Thunder07:
You asked if you can use cm12 for the recovery building, before yesterday the answer was no, but I've updated the repo to use cm12 code... If you change cm11 to cm12 that is.

Also, if you're new to this, I'll avoid this particular guide as I won't be able to guide you through it if it doesn't work, as I'm busy for the next 2 weeks.

No point in using j1, try sync, if it fails you might have to start fresh.

But the error at it reads is an error in the host and not your problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 404usernamenotfound:
Hi all, long time browser of XDA, first time poster. Up until now, every phone I've had, I've found the answers on this forum. I recently picked up a Samsung Galaxy Mega (SGH-I527M) which was non functional due to what I believe was an interrupted OTA update. When I first turned it on it said ']image size too large!! w:1080 h:1920 display image fail secure fail: kernel' I downloaded stock 4.4.2 from the sammobile website, and flashed it through odin, this got rid of the message, but sent the phone into a bootloop, I couldnt enter recovery, couldn't boot, just download mode. I then tried to use the Kies software to recover it, which brought back the image size error again. Anything stock i try to flash from sammobile results in a bootloop, the only rom that boots is a pre rooted stock 4.2.2. However, with this rom I have no wifi, bluetooth, sound, or USB. In an attempt to fix this I flashed the modem file from a 4.4.2 pre rooted stock rom. This returned my sound and bluetooth, but i still cant enable wifi, and no computer ive tried can connect to the phone via usb. As of now, I still have no wifi or usb. The hardware is completely fine, according to the previous owner, it worked right up until the failed flash. I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days straight now, and I'm at a loss. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this? I very much appreciate any help with this situation

Thank you for your reply. I had already tried the ROM from that thread to no avail. However, I did manage to restore this phone to working order. It turns out that all of my issues stemmed from an aftermarket screen replacement. Upon searching various forums, I cam! e across one that said to unplug the screen, boot the phone, and plug it back in once the screen would have normally timed out. Lo and behold, the LED turned blue and it didnt bootloop. Upon plugging the screen back in I was presented with my lockscreen, with no touch response. That confirmed my suspicions of an aftermarket screen. Browsing the web with new leads, I came across a video explaining how to fix, flashed megafire v16 as suggested, and the phone lives again! Seems samsung doesnt like when they cant take you for more money on OEM parts :p

Thanks again for the reply, and may I say just how lost I'd be without XDA?

Kernel with integrated TWRP

Here is SlimLP kernel with integrated TWRP recovery. From now and on, you don't need to reflash your device when changing roms, especially from Lillipop to kitkat or deal with the FOTA partition.

Just unzip the attached file and flash it in Fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

For those of you who already have TWRP in FOTA partition, as you know, this recovery collides with the integrated recovery. So, if you have TWRP in FOTA, do this after installing my kernel:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot reboot

This will get rid of TWRP in FOTA

Do you plan to update this ? (I am sorry I have posted in almost all your threads but all lollipop rom (Except CM12) keeps on freezing for me

never saw any freeze in 4.4.4
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
I think Slimrom team is no longer updating lollipop 5.0. They are working on 5.1. Nor are they updating kitkat. But you can use any kernel from my lollipop roms, as selinux is disabled there. You can also use my kernel with cm12, although, I am not sure CM12 would work with xprivacy. Out of all lollipops, only SlimLP and RR5.0 work with Xprivacy. RR works straight. Validus works for me with data partition restored from RR5.0. What I did was to first install RR5.0+Xposed+Xprivacy (confirmed it worked), then backed up data, then full wipe, installed Validus , then without reboot xposed, then without reboot restored data from RR5.0 and it works...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ggs2:

[MENTION=1068260]Diewi[/MENTION]

I thought we could move our discussion on wifi to this thread. Here is a little dirty secret: that qcom binary file is found in kernel too. So, if you change it in /etc/firmware/, you also have to copy the changed file to your kernel's /drivers/staging/prima/firmware_bin/ directory and then recompile the kernel. As usual, the entries there will go to kernel wifi module, which is actually not a module anymore, but a built-in in kernel. Otherwise, the changes won't work. Hence, there goes your android framework messing up things...

I have done it and am back to Kitkat level of battery drain with no disconnect. Here is my file: I did return to gEnableSuspend = 3 and made some more changes.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Diewi:
Fine with that.

Sorry, I have to disagree. Here, things are a bit different from the android framework. Please have a look at the file "CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_cfg.c" of the prima driver, especially the method "hdd_parse_config_ini". The comment clearly states that the ini-file is parsed:

/*

* This function reads the qcom_cfg.ini file and

* parses each 'Name=Value' pair in the ini file

*/

This also matches my experience that modifying the cfg.ini on the device does indeed have an effect.

Just one more note: By the concept accessing external files), it should not make any difference on reading external file if you compile modules inside the kernel or as "seperate" modules. However, there exist quite a lot device drivers out there which require to be build as modules to load their firmware (due to being depend upon some "external" firmware loader etc.). The prima driver obviously does not belong to these kind drivers.

Nevertheless, those changes should be pushed upstream (cm), then they would reside in the driver directory of the kernel anyways :D

Regards,

Diewi
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
I don't dispute that the file is being parsed, my point is that because the same file with different entries is in kernel, we really don't know how they would interact.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
Update to fix wifi disconnect and battery drain

Here is a recompiled kernel as well as a separate file to flash. This takes care of wifi disconnect after 15 minutes of sleep as well as excessive battery drain caused by a barrage of arp packets that create wakelocks.

Instructions:

1. Flash WIFI_DRAIN_FIX in Recovery

2. After that reboot in Bootloader and flash kernel (unzip boot.img): fastboot flash boot boot.img

3. If you have fota recovery, don't reboot and erase fota recovery, because this boot.img has twrp: fastboot erase recovery.

TWRP 2.8.7 has a bug preventing backing up roms. So, it is no good, unfortunately. I have returned to an earlier build.

Kernel Source: https://github.com/AOSPME/android_kernel_sony_msm8974

Warning: Don't use this for any other rom, because this kernel is specific to SLimrom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Diewi:
I get your point, but please have a look at the Android.mk file in the directory of the prima driver. There it is clearly stated that the files in the firmware_bin sub directory are just copied to the dir "${OUT}/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/". Hence, the "same" file does not exist in the kernel. BTW, beware, if you modify the file directly in your kernel folder as it will not be copied to the ${OUT} directory if the file exists there already. This is a serious weakness of the android build system IMHO.

The cfg-file will be parsed when the driver loads.

Sorry, for being that insistent :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
Well. This same file resides in sony_rhine_common overlay. So, what I do is put the changed file in both directories. Anyway, this is the first time on lollipop that I have absolutely no wifi disconnection. And wifi range has increased too (I increased the tx cap to 80).

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
I don't think anyone else has it. In case you are talking about charging through usb: some linux distros drop usb connections during sleep and then have trouble reconnecting, because the phone is sleeping. You may have a similar behavior in Windows...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kacha13:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
Does it happen on original charger or through usb on computer? Is the phone at rest or you are doing something with it? If you want help, you need to provide more information. Logcat, anyone?

As I have already said, I have it on all roms on computer charging. If that's the case, just click on your phone icon (on computer) and the charging will start. This happens when your computer goes to sleep and it can't see the phone. This is a part of power saving on your laptop. I have never had it on a wall charger.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drakonizer:
It happens with the original charger and USB cable. I was able to fix it by flashing the M5 Kernel from its thread, so its obviously kernel related. Unfortunately I don't have a laptop nearby to give a logcat, but I will update this post with the logcat ASAP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ggs2:
Doesn't matter if you are or not doing anything, will try to get logcat next time, only thing i have noticed is phone becomes terribly terribly hot if not restarted and connected to wall charger.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
Ok. Your phone overheats. That's the reason. And it has nothing to do with charging. In this rom sony's thermanager kicks in at 61 degrees and gradually throttles the phone, which means that if you don't have any charging, you get to over 80, which is just one step from shutdown.

You can't use qcom's MP decision in kernel, which results in all 4 cores being online all the time. Even laptops (which have internal fans) could easily turn into a frying pan if all their cores are online all the time. That's why your phone overheats. I can't really blame qcom only, it is a combined fault of Google, Qcom with their code aurora, Sony and probably CM who can't bridge the differences between KK and LP. Whatever it is, qcom's MP decision, the way it is implemented in lp kernel, cannot be used, unless you want to destroy your phone. That's where M5 kernel comes to help. Use intelliplug replacement of MP, interractive governor with timer_rate set at 34000 and do a global offset -25mv on all cpu freqnc. You could set that in kernel auditor app. While there and before making any changes, compare mp decision which shows all cores online and intelliplug, which immediately puts 3 cores off on an idle phone. And the result is 30-35 degrees while idle and 50-55 under stress.

Generally, slimrom on honami handles heat issues better than any other.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ggs2:
sure, will try M5 kernel. However, when I meant phone overheat it was when i connect to charger and charging doesn't work (only in that case it overheats). even if you don't touch it and its connected to charger it will heat like hell (I saw temperature ~70 once ) and restarted, and if charging starts, temperature sets to normal again. But as other user also said that M5 is problem-less would try that. Thanks again :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] optimumpro:
You do have M5 kernel if you installed this rom. What I meant was that you use an app, such as Kernel Auditor to get to settings, disable Qualcom MP decision and enable Intelli one.
