:good: Thanks for the enlightenment.

I never knew CAF-AOSP was Cyanogenmod. I thought is was just a slighty modded version over AOSP unrelated to CM.

I've also heard that OmniRom for our device is CAF-AOSP.
[ONE General] NuLLV01D:
Yep, But Omni gets it quite differently. They make many of own their stuff and always keep as close to AOSP as possible
[ONE General] bachera:
kindly change first post to contain only the answer
[ONE General] DerRomtester:
Nice info but i dont agree with sabermod > linaro
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
What has been your way of testing which is better?
[ONE General] DerRomtester:
In my opinion linaro feels faster. But this is objective.
[ONE General] gt-kingz:
Cm12 may use some caf stuff, but no as much as in cm11.

Since cm12 is built of aosp we are all using aosp roms. How is this possible?

C'mon guys, this discussion is kinda useless.

Every rom uses the same base, but every rom is different as well.
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
A great way of testing I've found is to flash your kernel version of choice( leave the stock settings upon boot),

open an image heavy app such as Google play store,

let everything fully load without touching it,

once everything has loaded; scroll to the bottom of the Google Play homepage.

You'll see a BIG difference when it comes to how smooth scrolling is between the two. IMO, smooth scrolling should be the #1 priority when choosing a kernel since that is what we will be doing the most.

Let me know? :thumbup:
[ONE General] Pete131313:
This ^^^^

OP is wrong on so many levels that a mod should just delete this thread.
[ONE General] zhart:
how fast the Images load? i believe that you download every image in that app, so i think that it heavily depends on the connection also. You should use an app that doesn't require an internet connection. Jus' sayin'.
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
Excuses..

Don't focus on how fast the images load. Focus on how smooth the scrolling is.

The end.
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
Correct! Its all subjective though.
[ONE General] JeffDC:
I agree with Tim that the overall feel of the OP's 'read' it that all the ROM's are essentially the same. So, while I understand the basis for the OP's general (false) conclusions, as Tim pointed out, those conclusions are not supported by the heavily modified developer work that goes into the ROM's.

OP, your conclusions are based upon a general fallacy that because the ROM's have an about equal origin, they must have the same end result. That would be a bit like saying all 427 C.I engines, having the same basic displacement, are equal after they have been modified by expert engine builders, with various other custom parts. As with custom built engines, with custom parts, so too these ROM's have customization to meet various needs.

I'd be great if someone with the know would test out the various ROM's claims via a scientific method, and post up the results/comparisons.
[ONE General] bombadier:
One thing I do agree with is that everything to do with the bacon is CM related in some way, not sure how "pure" AOSP is for this device, as the few AOSP roms I have looked at all seem to use cm device trees for the bacon, please inform me

Cant agree with the op as although they may use CM12 as a base,plenty code,features optimizations etc are added, if there are problems in the underlying base then yes the new roms based off of them will still have the same problems as base CM12 but unless the developer fixes that.

A good example is with the bugged camera drivers

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-1309 (allegedly a fix is coming in CM12S)

Until this is fixed by CM all roms based off of it will be affected
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
You're missing the entire point sir..

F*** the rods, pistons, cams,heads, and etc they installed.

They STILL used a 427 base to build the engine..

Same goes for the oneplus one. They either use CM OR AOSP base to build.

It all comes down to tuning/optimization when dealing with engines or ROMs.
[ONE General] JeffDC:
I think we all get that. I certainly do from what I can surmise about your initial post, wherein the ending result you opine is that they are all about equal.

I do not sense that to be accurate, however I am certain you noted my last sentence about having some real world 'testing'.

I'm guessing, as you apparently have no dev experience, you may not understand the more granular context and contribution to what a dev can do with customizing the behavior of a ROM, as you clearly state "So "f*** the the rods, pistons, cams,heads".... Never the less, even with those 'minor' (sarcasm) modifications, there can be huge differences between 427 based engines. Just huge.

Good luck with your post. I gotta go where the grass and conversation is in more green pasture.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
This is the entire point though. You're concentrating on the aspect that has the least amount of effect. It's those rods, pistons, cams, and heads that matter the most, they're what make the engine what it is and how it runs, not the 427 block. Take fifty 427 blocks and modify/tune them fifty different ways and you'll get fifty engines of varying performance. It's that simple.

Most of the time Seidio products can be purchased from Amazon at much lower prices but in the case of recently released Seidio items they're not available on Amazon yet so if you want the product Seidio's webstore is the only place to buy it. If I hadn't gone through this I would not have believed it possible but here's what it takes to return/exchange an item purchased on Seidio's webstore:

1) request approval for an RMA (note this first step is not getting a RMA it's getting approval to get one) by emailing under your login on their website

2) after the approval getting the RMA (instead of just filling out an RMA to begin with)

3) sending Seidio pictures of the item (done after the actual RMA is issued but not requested by Seidio until after the RMA is issued, completed & returned) Must be obvious to everybody but Seidio that if you ship them a damaged item they won't exchange/credit it.

4) Seidio emails you that they've received your returned item and will further advise you in 2-3 business days

5) You have to call their Customer Support to find out the outcome and if it's a store credit you have to contact them again after you order something to have them apply the store credit to your order.

And to top it all off Seidio gives you 7 days to return an item, a whole 7 days. It is completely obvious that Seidio deliberately makes every attempt to have you just forget about returning something because of all the steps and time involved and I'm guessing a lot of their customers do not go through the entire process.

Well guess what Seidio, if I spent all the time I did with your ridiculous return process I can spend a few more minutes telling my fellow forum members about it.

Compare the above to Amazon's 30 day return window where all you do is print a return label. And no Seidio does not provide a return label you can print, you have to address the return box yourself & pay for freight both ways.

Nice job Seidio, I'm sure this post will encourage a lot of orders from your webstore.

Greatful that I never had this issue with them.I dealt with them note 2 days.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] YeaImRota:
It's BS like this that makes me essentially only ever order things from Amazon, and typically only if they're eligible for Prime shipping.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] papped:
The bigger issue is that Seidio stuff is so overpriced...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
I actually rather pay more and grab it in a store so I can return instantly if I not happy

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Worse than that is the fact that it's not premium merchandise warranting their ridiculous prices. Three brands I'm familiar with BodyGlove, Ballistic & Otterbox actually have premium products. An Otterbox Defender is about the same price as the Seidio Convert and I think a far superior case. My BodyGlove ToughSuit and the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx are considerably less money, about a third less and both are better more protective cases cases than the Seidio. All Seidio is doing is overpricing inferior goods.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
Such posts make me thankful I pay for Amazon Prime.

OP I'm sorry you had to go through this adventure for a simple exchange and thank you for warning us.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Alanmw86:
ordered a case from UAG for my note 3....was messed up.....

so guess what happened...

they sent me two replacement cases immediately and let me keep the original.

Great company.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gcforreal:
Yea seidio stuff is overpriced for sure. I used to like SOME of their products but with their horrible cs and dip in quality lately they've lost me as a customer. At least with Otterbox the warranty last a year and all you do is take a photo to prove its authentic, not with seidio and they're arrogant and straight up deny well known issues with their products. Never again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I'm going to be sending back my Convert Add On kit because both the rugged skin & the holster are unbelievably bad. After applying for an RMA last night I was notified by email it was approved and I can expect to receive it in 1-2 business days. I forgot to mention in my original post when you apply for an RMA you have to supply the product code(s), like Seidio doesn't have the info contained on the invoice they create when you order a product.

After my first (and last) experience with both Seidio's products and their dog & pony show for returning items I think Seidio should be crossed off anybody's list and put under the category of "don't even consider buying anything from them" and that includes on Amazon or any other independent reseller. As lousy as my Convert rugged skin is and a holster that caused my phone to fall to the floor when I bent over to tie my shoes owing to the flimsy method with which the holster is attached to the belt clip I must categorize their products as pure trash.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
And the beat goes on.................

After receiving an email 3 days ago from Seidio's warranty/returns dept. advising me I would receive RMA return instructions in 1-2 days I called them today because I haven't received that email with those instructions and at 1:49pm CST and was told that dept. "was out to lunch". They are only open from 8:00am-5:00pm M-F.

When I do get the email IIRC they will be requesting I send them photos which of course will take several business days to reply to and if everything is satisfactory they will actually issue an RMA the better part of 2 weeks after I initiated the return request.

Seido as a company is "out to lunch".
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
unbelievable

Seidio received my garbage Convert Add On kit return Saturday March 14th and they just send an email yesterday acknowledging the return which stated there would be an additional 4 to 5 business day timeframe to "process" the return.

It took about 2 weeks for me to get them to issue an RMA including 3 phone calls after going through all the nonsense logged into their website to request a RMA, add in the week delay in acknowledging physical receipt of the return & the additional 4-5 business day timeframe to "process" the return it will take about a month before I even know if they will issue a refund & that doesn't include the 4 days shipping time.

Needless to say Seidio is way beyond ridiculous when trying to return defective merchandise purchased through their online store.

Hands down this is by far the worst experience I've ever had trying to return defective merchandise purchased online. No other experience even comes close.

As I've stated previously between their completely defective merchandise & their inane return process Seidio richly deserves to be out of business.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
yup, this is why I always check amazon before buying something, if they have it in stock, I'll buy from them.

This is also the main reason I buy my phones from amazon. I know I can buy "new" phones from swappa which will be about $50 cheaper (for the case of Note 4 atm), I 'd rather spend 50 bucks more and have peace of mind thinking if there ever is a problem, returning and exchanging is only a few clicks.....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Unfortunately for me the Surface case & the Convert Add On kit weren't yet available on Amazon when I ordered them. I made the huge mistake of thinking Seidio sold premium quality products and thought I'd try one of their cases. The Surface case which I ordered last October when the N4 was released is good quality but it's way overpriced for the features it offers. Only reason I ordered it was to turn it into the Convert case/holster combo which took Seidio about another 3 months to release. So I immediately ordered the Convert Add On kit when it became available and it was total trash. The holster was literally unusable because it kept disconnecting from the belt clip causing my phone to drop to the ground and the rubber Convert cover slipped off the bottom edge every time I used the fingerprint scanner sometimes impeding use of the fingerprint scanner. The holster & rubber cover were so poorly designed I could not use them.

After I made my first post today I got another email from Seidio and if I'm understanding it correctly they are issuing a refund of zero. I'll have to call them for the 4th time and clarify that is the case. If so I will be initiating chargebacks with the banks that issued the credit cards used to make the purchases. I've never had reason to initiate a chargeback in my life but now that Seidio has taken so much of my time there is no way I'm going to just forget about it and lose $70 because their products are unusable junk.

I truly believe Seido's whole game plan for refunds is to make it so difficult you'll just forget about it. Without giving any great deal of thought to it I'd have to say Seidio may just be the worst company I've ever encountered and considering I've spent six decades on the planet that's saying something.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Good luck in getting your hard earned money back. I never liked seidio cases.

Thanks for the feedback, at least we know their game..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 00_MACKIE_00:
Similiar situation here..never again will I buy something from them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] reefur:
I had the opposite experience. I agree that their site is overpriced. When I had a return they asked me to send pictures. They replied within one day and just sent me a whole new one. Once I had a small defect on the phone case after having it for 3 months. They also sent me a new one right away after I sent them pics. Sorry you guys are having such a hard time......

Hey guys,

My 8125 recently stopped being able to allow my wifi to function properly. I was running the factory WM5 and things were going well, then out of the blue the wifi disabled and refused to become enabled. In an attempt to fix the issue (as well as use Office 2K7 to sync w/ my phone) I flashed to Xplore 1.1 (Wm6). Sadly this did not fix the issue as the wifi will still not enable. I added the two registry edits of HTCPreloadStatus 1 and HTCPreloadWifi 1 to no avail. The device is relatively new, my previous 8125 whited out forcing Cingular to send me this one just last month.

I can provide pics and any other information that may be needed to whomever can assist me.

Thanks a million guys,

Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist.

This may be a battery problem, or a problem with your charger. Try changing your power brick/charger cable and try with the official charger. If that doesnt work, it may be your battery nearing end of it's life. You could consider a replacement battery.

Can it be a software problem ?

Could be a software or hardware issue. But since the device is new, the sensible thing would be to take it to the service centre and either get them to fix it or get a free replacement.

http://www.samsung.com/in/galaxys6/prebook/tnc/

The prebooking offer is pretty decent. 10000 payback points is effectively 2500 cash back.

And if there are any other offers in the next 6 months, you get that same amount in payback points as well. (expect the cash back offers to start on Oct 11th :p )

And a 1 time screen replacement for 1 year (1000 rs as handling charges.. a lot cheaper than paying for the whole thing)

So if you really want one.. you might want to consider prebooking
[Galaxy S6 General] saj2001ind:
This is same as they did last year with note 4

Problem is their price drop...look at s5..its dropped to almost 15k which hurts early adopters
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
More like 25k... but it has been 11 months..

The Note 4 has held its price pretty well. It has gone down below 50k recently.. but it has been 5-6 months.

If someone wants to wait then sure, the price will go down a lot... but if you want to buy it in a month or two.. might as well prebook.

I don't think the S6 will go down to 40k anytime soon.. not till the Note 5 hits the market anyway.
