Chinese characters

you can try to flash only the firmware archive and Gapps. Without installing the patch . This removes the Chinese characters in the settings.

But strongly firmware drains the battery and charging sooo slow.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aafsut:
Hi,

I want to capture small objects like small flowers, bees, insects and pests but cant get the Samsung Galaxy S5 to focus on anything close. My S3 had a button for Macro Photography. I don't see this option and when I tap to focus, it tries but it acts like it's too close and fails. It looks like it will focus on the close object for like a second, then it zooms back out.

I have tried to turn off auto focus and stabilization but the result is same.

What should i do now to fix it?

Or maybe any third party app can do it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Commodore 64:
Make sure "Selective Focus" option is disabled. This automatically turns on macros, although you don't see an actual macros on/off toggle, but I'm able to take pictures in focus in 2.5-3 inches distance from the lens, which is technically the "macro range"
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aafsut:
it tries but it acts like it's too close and fails. It looks like it will focus on the close object for like a second, then it zooms back out.

Can u share some pics of small objects u captured?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
There is a limit to how close you can get with the S5 camera, as the lens is static, no moving parts to focus really

The S5 does like lots of light though, so you'll get much better results if the subject is very brightly lit, and it will focus much better with more light

Don't expect miracles like a DSLR can do though, but you can get some pretty great shots
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aafsut:
Then i need to get s3 coz i 've experienced good macro photography with it.

Do not tweak the performance from the settings app. It causes problems. If you really want to tweak performance then flash a custom kernel. That's the best way.:):good:
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vipan Ranout:
Do not change CPU Governer, it should be set to INTERACTIVE

In performance settings you can mess with everything except CPU Governer. Keep it on INTERACTIVE otherwise you will not be able to wake your phone from sleep. You can play with all other options in Performance settings as I have not found any major issue with other options.

Why aint any Dev uploading Screenshots for their threads??

Screenshots are really helpful for getting the look and feel of a particular project,

Please Devs consider this request and try uploading atleast 2-3 screenshots it will be really handy

Thank you.:good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
99% of the general look of all the ROMs are the same, so the screenshots for every ROM is similar. Hence, why bother?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustufa_kheroda:
I agree but still its all about presentation ,people actually search for any sort of pictures(screenshots) in any threads to basically decide that should go for the Rom or not (attraction) ,

All are not smart enough (noobs) to understand the high coding language.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
That isn't true. CM never posts any screenshots, yet it is the most popular. Unless you have a ROM like MiUI or Something that is heavily skinned, everything looks more or less like stock android, so taking and uploading screenshots are just hard labour. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Backup your internal DATA to your computer.

2. Reflash the same STOCK FIRMWARE unticking "AUTOREBOOT"

3. Take out the battery when the process finish (10 sec.). Put it in again.

4. Boot in STOCK RECOVERY and select Wipe data/Factory reset. "Reboot system now" then.

5. Good luck :highfive:

You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.

My KitKat software download already completed I just need to hit installation
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamertwo1:
I think yes, Because your botloader is already unlocked and root for KK has been posted.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capnroger:
Safe?

Unlocking your bootloader just enabled you to flash files to your phone... If you do not know how to do this you can brick your phone, but it will still update over the air using stock software. The unlocked bootloader will allow you to root or install custom backup...

If you want the update, push the button. If you do not, it will keep asking unless you turn off "Motorola OTA"

Hi, haven't done these kinds of things in about 5 years as I switched to an iPhone, then switched back, so I basically forgot everything about it.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***

Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.

Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support

Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to

And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.

Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.

Period.

Also as a reminder:

you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue

you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own

you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support

Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.

Please consider that!!!

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MewCore:
Looks good so far on XtreStoLite!

I'm just wondering if you are planing to add full sound configuration options?

Your sound implementation options allowed superb sound on S3 and I guess I'm not the only one missing it on S5 ;)

Looking forward to next versions! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
See OP, first line. Clear "maybe"... I tested against BOB7 only as I cannot install 10 different roms. But you will tell us?

Would love to. But it is a completely different sound chip used in the S5, compared to the S3.

And it seems there is no way to get hold of any documentation for it (wdc9230), which would allow us dev to explore more of the chips capabilities.

If you saw a kernel providing more sound options, I am happy to get the information about it and checking if it can be ported. Then we would even know what the audio hub can do and what not...

Or someone can get Qualcomm to hand me over the documentation of their audio hub, then also more is possible. But many devs for sure have tried that in the past years already, so I am not very optimistic.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] ghoster76:
Battery friendly seems so good for daily usage at the moment, but Battery Saving with zzmoove / battery yank seems pretty lags. Hope it be implemented some next versions.

It's in the app settings
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pamarakos:
Yes thats what I mean...even if I tick it or not I get the red letters when booting, is it normal?

P.s. How did you get dark color? You have it only in the app or in system too?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Yes, this is normal. The kernel always starts in permissive mode first and switches to enforcing during start process.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pamarakos:
Yes it s working correctly but somehow samsung smart view app understands that it s not stock kernel although in enforcing mode (written in about device menu) and fails to transfer live from tv...is there something I can try more??
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] agenjo9:
Im very proud to see u again boeffla,i come from s3 and ur kernel is amazing ^^
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Don't think there is a real solution for this with any custom kernel.

Was the same already on the s3,although there were patched versions of the mirror service available to work around this issue.

It has less to do with selinux, more with the fact the kernel is recognized as custom kernel.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pamarakos:
And there was a "hacke" unlocked version of smart view 1 app working with any kernel, but till now nothing for version 2:(

And this kernel rocks and I'm very sad:)

Anyways.....thanks!

I wiped cache/dalvik while going from beta1 to beta2, after the flash I wiped again but I am getting a bootloop (CM11-kernel).

Going back to beta1 worked without a problem (just a bit of sweating ;) ).

Any way I can help to get this fixed?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Well, I do not see something needs to be fixed?

beta2 is running very well with CM11, please see attached screen shot.

Something went wrong when you flashed it. How did you flash? Easiest and also safest is to use the load&flash function from the app, as a bad download gets detected there.

And about sweating: No need to sweat. As I always recommend, you surely have done a nandroid backup before the flash :D

Lord Boeffla,

I'm using this kernel in G900MD variant, everything works, smooth, perfect, one chip working, however the fingerprint driver does not load.

You could solve if I send one logcat perhaps?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
You can provide, but I doubt there is anything we/I can do.

Fingerprint is closed source, and when it does not load it is apparently due to kernel level changes between 900F and 900MD.

I will not put any code over from the 900MD, I am sorry. This kernel is 900F only, and it will need to stay like that.

No, it is very different. A kernel based on 5.0.x sources typically does not start on 5.1.x. Especially not with Samsung stock as Samsung tends to overcomplicate things anyways a lot.
