[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Here goes my second attempt. I've tried to backport my Linux 3.10.74 based "Squid Kernel" to the 3G Moto E. This is a rather crazy idea, and I don't think anyone has ever done this for the MSM8x10 family. I've managed to create a kernel binary that is half the size of the stock kernel. I don't expect this recovery to boot at all. If it does boot, I would be quite pleased.

Download link for the adventurous: https://www.mediafire.com/?j5wgj035ml7nng9

I'd suggest first trying fastboot boot twrp-otus-2.8.6-test2.img before you flash it, since it is experimental and probably won't work. If it does boot, check the file manager to see if it is able to view all your data. If it boots and is able to see your data, then we have a miracle, so go ahead and flash it if you'd like.

If this recovery doesn't boot, don't worry, I will make a recovery that works, just be patient. I'm waiting for my test unit to arrive. It's been crawling along through the USPS. Hopefully, I'll have it by this time next week.

REMINDER: This is totally untested, and probably won't work. Try at your own risk. Make sure to try booting it with "fastboot boot" before flashing it. This might brick your device. Be careful. Even if it appears to work, I don't recommend flashing anything with this recovery until I receive my test device and properly verify it.

P.S. I'll make a new thread once I have something that works.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravx:
Ok probably a noob qiestion. But does booting recovery from adb makes any changes to my device. Is there a probabilty of soft bricking the device by this method.

And should the boot loader be unlocked before trying this.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
You need an unlocked bootloader. First boot your device into bootloader mode (turn phone off, press and hold PWR and VOL- together for 3 seconds, then let go). You will see a bootloader menu. Then use fastboot on your computer to boot the recovery.

Running "fastboot boot xyz.img" will not make any changes to your device. As long as you don't flash anything with the recovery, it's fairly safe to try. Booting it up and browsing with the file manager shouldn't hurt anything. Note that when you try to leave recovery, TWRP will ask you if you want to root your device with SuperSU. If you want to be safe, read the screen carefully and make sure you say no for now.

The risky operation would be to flash the recovery (fastboot flash xyz.img) and then use the recovery to flash other ROMs or customizations. I would not recommend doing this if you don't have enough experience or are worried about messing up your phone.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravx:
Sorry bro but it is not booting. The steps i followed

1.) unlocked bootloader ( Success ...getting unlock msg when booting

2.) got to bootloader.

3.)booted the recovery ( i changed the name of recovery to "recovery" for convinience)

4.) cmd showed msg booting but the phone shows android logo and does not act from there.

5. I had to reboot the phone by pressing power button for 10 secs.

Have i done anything wrong????
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
It might just be that it doesn't work, but your comment about it showing the Android logo doesn't sound right. Does it show a "dead" android logo laying on its back with a door open on its body? If you see that, you booted up the stock recovery. The stock recovery will show that logo forever until you use a certain button combo to bring up a menu.

How did you boot the recovery? I assume you downloaded my file, renamed it to "recovery.img", and then ran this command from the folder that contains my recovery image:

fastboot boot recovery.img
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravx:
No it showed the logo of moto powered by android and yes i renamed the file and entered the same command you typed.

As soon as i typed it. It showed that logo and got hanged. And then i rebooted. And it booted normally.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
I had someone else try it too, with the same result as you. No big surprise to me, didn't expect it to work. I'll make one with a more conventional 3.4.x kernel when I get time.

Otus TWRP Attempt 3

[MENTION=4732593]Ravx[/MENTION]

Alright everyone, I've made a third attempt at creating a recovery for the Moto E 3G. I still don't have the device, so you have to test yourself. I made this one with a more conventional 3.4.x kernel. I would guess that this recovery is more likely to work than the the previous one. As before, try fastboot boot xyz.img before flashing. I suspect that this recovery might boot sometimes and fail other times. If it fails to be boot the first time, try a couple more times before giving up.

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1he2ys1832441s7/twrp-otus-2.8.6-test3.img

If it boots, try using the file manager. Check that it is able to see all your files. I don't recommended using this recovery to flash things until I'm able to verify it myself.

Try at your own risk. I'm not responsible for messing up your device. This recovery has not been tested.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravx:
Bro you have done it. the recovery booted and i moved a file from one folder to another by using file manager. :good::good::D:D:laugh:

EDIT: For now i the recovery's file manager isnt showing "build.prop" and other folders in /system

only the "bin" folder is visible. Is it ok beacaause we havent flashed the recovery or its the other way around.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Thanks for testing. I've created a dedicated thread for this recovery.

As for /system, I don't think TWRP mounts it by default in the file manager. It's probably alright, I don't see any files in /system on my LTE model's TWRP either.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try flashing SuperSU.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravx:
First of all congrats bro.:good::good:

What happens if i flash superSu...

Can it bootloop my device if anything goes wrong during flashing.:( ( or will it mess the recovery and phone will boot up normally??):o

TWRP asked me to root the device by installing SuperSu. but i didnt. Now do i download latest superSu and flash it or

TWRP method will work ???

Edit: Currently i am trying to take a backup of my whole system. will let you know it worked or not. probably post a log of my backup.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Both the TWRP method and the Chainfire SuperSU zip should work. If you're still "fastboot boot"-ing the recovery, then use the Chainfire zip. I usually prefer flashing Chainfire's zip over the TWRP method, just because it eliminates the need for an extra reboot.

I don't think SuperSU will mess up your phone with this new recovery. If it does break something, I'll do what I can to get you back up and running. No pressure though, don't flash it if you're worried. I will test it out on my own device once it arrives next week (hopefully).
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bateluer:
I've current got an LG G-Pad GPe, and I'm finding its 16GBs of storage really cramped. My comic book library through Comixology doesn't support external storage.

Best Buy US sells a 32GB Tab S 8.4, is that worth buying at this point? I've gone hands on with it a couple times on the display models, and that screen is simply beautiful. Not a fan of the physical button though. And on the display model, even after using the task manager to kill all, the thing still had 2.5GBs of its 3GBs of RAM in use. Is that normal for you guys? I am uncertain where I'd root/rom it, but I would be disabling swaths of Samsung apps and probably using Nova Launcher. Does the official Lollipop ota scale back the TouchWiz UI?

Or should I just say screw it and wait for the refresh? My Google-fu only turned up a few vague references to this summer though.
[Galaxy Tab S General] nhshah7:
I actually bought a tab s 8.4 a couple weeks ago. After evaluating the n9, I realized this was what fit my needs best. I absolutely love it. Yes, I needed to root it to remove some bloat and optimize it a little, but no, I don't have any regrets about my purchase.

Although I don't believe that best buy sells a 32gb version of the 8.4, only the 10.5. Then again, I knew I'd be buying a micro sd card anyways. So now I have 64 + 10 gb internally.

The tablet itself is a pleasure to use and if the other Samsung lollipop updates are any indication, this thing will fly on it. I'm afraid that a few years from now it will not be updated, but if it runs like this for the next few years, I'd be more than happy.

As for pricing, I got mine during a brief sale on buydig where the price dropped to $260 or so. Prices are going down but that doesn't mean it's not a terrific tablet. Hope this helps!

Lastly, your post belongs in Q&A, not general, per xda rules.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bateluer:
They sell a 32GB version of the 8.4, I've checked. :)

Thanks for the feedback.

My bad.
[Galaxy Tab S General] codified:
Free ram is wasted ram. On a display model people have been trying lots of different apps and it is good that these have been cached into RAM. That means they can load quickly when you need to open them again. No sense in having 3gb sitting around doing nothing. Android is smart enough to release the ram when you need it for something else.
[Galaxy Tab S General] nhshah7:
Awesome! Didn't know that. No problem! Glad to help. Also, regarding ram, the above is correct as well. Demo units are just that. After debloating, I have 1.5-2.5gb as the ranges I've seen in the built in task manager. I do clear all apps in recent apps occasionally, which I'm not sure if it's necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bateluer:
Most of the time, I wholeheartedly agree. I just get concerned with all a devices RAM is used on a fresh boot.

I just don't want to have buyers remorse in a month, if Samsung releases a refreshed Tab S line with 14nm silicon in it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bateluer:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...onze/2064123.p?id=1219524352394&skuId=2064123

Only comes in Bronze though, and its on a small sale right now. 350 USD, usually its 399. Yeah, I know it says regular 449 on the page, but I've seen it multiple times on the Samsung display islands. :P
[Galaxy Tab S General] YrrchSebor:
I think 449 is correct regular price for the 32gb model. 399 regular price is for 16gb. 16 gb was on sale for 299!
[Galaxy Tab S General] pawces:
Totally worth it. I got mine a month or so back and one of the reasons was for manga and graphic novel enjoyment. I use Perfect Viewer for my .cbr and .pdf reading - crisp and very readable text on the screen, plus you can have your library on the external SD. Size and acceptable weight in one hand is perfect for reading. I'm on stock firmware, rooted with some Xposed mods here and there. No issues with it so far. I wish the battery would last longer (maybe 1 or 2 hours longer would be perfect for my usage) but I accept that as a consequence of powering a screen this size and resolution.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bateluer:
Probably. I ended up burning some of my stockpiled BB cards and got the 32GB model for 355 with local taxes and in store pick up.

This is my usage as well, though primarily through Comixology. Plenty of their content does have DRM-free PDF and CBR versions though, if I was so inclined to grab them. Probably should for some of the larger series I own.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mangbhoy:
I have the 32GB model and rooted it on day one then flashed Cyanogenmod.

I use Perfect Viewer for my comic / graphic novel needs and it works great!

You should be able to enjoy comics with Comixology with the lovely screen.

At home, my brightness level is only about 1/56 and it's a beauty to read comics on.

I was thinking of getting the 10.1 version but it was too big for my messenger bag that also houses

my Asus Ultrabook laptop.

You could wait for a couple of months more as the new line of tablets for Samsung will push the price of the Tab S 8.4 lower.

To answer your question, I think, yes it's still worth buying.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
One serious problem with the current Tab S generation is the relatively weak CPU/GPU performance. If you read the reviews of Samsung Tab S, NVidia Shield, and Nexus 9 over at anandtech, you see that their benchmark scores of the Tab S look pretty modest relative to practically all big players on the market. This doesn't mean that the tablet always crawls slowly, but considering the pace of the continuous bloating of the operating systems and the web sites, I expect the Tab S to become outdated much sooner than say the Nexus 9. The Tab S should work fine for playing HD videos, ebooks, and most other applications. The screen is beautiful, but the responsiveness can bog down on some truly bloated web sites. Installing Ad Block can help.

It's an EPIC fail that the Google Nexus 9 comes with no sd card slot, but if you can live with only 32GB of storage, get the Nexus 9 IMO or perhaps take a look at Nvidia Shield. This week Best Buy announced $75 off on all Nexus 9 models. If you do get the Tab S, you can get the 16GB model, and then add a 64GB/128GB sd card for a small price (I got my 64GB for $30 on amazon).
[Galaxy Tab S General] misteroh:
I would personally wait for the refresh. I like my Tab S a lot, but its performance is indeed a bit underwhelming. It stutters on very high quality HD videos that my freaking Note 3 has no problems playing.
[Galaxy Tab S General] YrrchSebor:
Samsung might have saved some money by using their own Exynos processor instead of Qualcomm in the Tab S (except for an LTE model or two). Maybe thats their standard practice in tablets, and international models? This did make me hesitate buying it but I ended up loving it anyway. But yeah my Note 4 with the Qualcomm 805 does feel snappier and such.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SRZ1977:
I think it is worth it. I just picked up one of these today for $80 bucks on Craigslist for my parents. I love it so far, the screen is absolutely gorgeous and it is so easy to hold. The only problem is that text may be too small for my parents to read. I might end up flipping this one and getting a larger iPad Air 2 or Tab S 10.5. I think the next generation of this device is going to be spectacular considering what Samsung has done with the GS6 and GS6E. This needs the updated Exynos 7420 and slimmed down TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Tab S General] YrrchSebor:
Wow, $80! What condition is it in? Good going lol. I know what you mean about the text size tho.... that's one gripe I have, is that bigger devices often have even SMALLER text!! The print on my Note 4 is bigger than on this. But luckily I can root, install xposed, and use the App Settings module to adjust it. Still it isn't as good as if it were fully scaled properly to the screen size. .
[Galaxy Tab S General] ixian:
It's a great little tablet if you can pick it up on a sale or with unused gift cards for under $300. I rarely shop at Best Buy so the fact I had a couple laying around and an older phone sitting in a drawer they gave me $50 for got me to $255 for a new 32gb model. My company provides AT&T data cards so I have that going as a bonus as well.

It's not the speediest and Touchwiz is Touchwiz, just as Samsung is Samsung, but for a nice little travelling media device it's great, the screen is fantastic, good size too, and it's very light. It's the perfect train/hotel companion if that's what you want it for, like me. I was using my N6 for everything and granted the screen on that is a decent size and looks good but this is better for watching movies or reading, and not all that heavier either.

I wouldn't have paid $450 for it, the original asking price, and even $350 might have made me pause a little, but a couple dusty gift cards and and even dustier iPhone 4s that took forever to charge just so I could make sure it was wiped and we were at $255 which is a nice price brand new for this, at 32gb. Put my 128gb in it, Plex on it, and I'm off.

Need to root it now to get rid of some bloat and put an ad blocker in place.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richiec64:
So I've had my phone a little over a month now and i never got amazing battery life, but compared to other phones it was solid. However, i see people with 6-7 hours of screen on time, when i struggle to squeeze 4 out of my phone. Typically i get down to about 10% with 17 hours total and 3.5 hours of screen on time. Also my phone usually turns off at 5-10% randomly, is this normal? Lastly, every so often if i let the battery run down until it turns off (8% or so) i get a screen that shows the battery sign with an exclamation mark on the inside. Is my phone defective or are peoples battery stats a matter of difference in usage.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JasonJoel:
SOT heavily depends on use and screen brightness.

I always get 6-7, auto brightness, no gaming.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richiec64:
Yes but I'm saying i get a max of 4 hours SOT with absolutely no gaming. All i do is text and use normal stuff like twitter and instagram.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] 6Binford:
I typically see 1% battery drain for every hour in stand by and 10% for every hour of screen on time. After 24 hours with 2 hrs SOT, I'll be around 55%. I don't use WiFi or GPS very often.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
Just wait for Lollipop update and the excessive battery drain will be gone. With KitKat I had around 10% or more battery drain overnight, but now I'm having at most 1%-2% with the same synced settings, so it was a huge improve, believe me.

Besides this, try to disable Moto Actions (except camera wrist), keep those sensors awake all the time drain a lot of battery. The exclamation sign inside the battery should be present in around 5% battery left.

Also, as far as I know, Turbo will be updated directly to 5.1, so it would be better, but hope that Verizon crap-ware doesn’t ruin the update.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
I know that the Ameo throttles the CPU back (but I'm not happy with having PHM installed all the time, as I don't trust it to properly slow the machine down), but why do so many emulators fail on the Ameo?

Pocket Plus/4 is really, really choppy and unreliable.

Pocket Atari seems to work sometimes, but at other times I get speaker popping and no functional emulator.

Pocket C64 is just useless and doesn't support the keyboard, it seems; and setting up the controls seems to cause fuss for the sound, too.

This is supposed to be a fast machine, so I'm baffled by the apparent slowness when it does run an emulator. Pocket Plus/4 especially drops to 4% speed; I thought the CPU was supposed to catch up to the demand!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
And tried with PHM anyway, still no better.

I just tried the exact same installation of Pocket Atari on the Universal with WM6 installed. It's working quite well; I'm currently playing Rescue on Fractalus (XEGS ROM).

Is it a memory management thing, or Microdrive, or something else?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
On the Universal you probably installed it to the SD? If so, have you tested it on the SD of the Athena? I also noticed a few slow downs on my Athena and I have a Universal also to compare to. I have to redo my Universal because it's running very slow so I can't compare at the moment. I have read on the forums that users have noticed a performance increase with some WM6 installs. This could be a factor but I also think that the SD card is faster than the microDrive. Try it on the SD if you already haven't and see how it goes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
I don't have a miniSD, I tried it on internal memory (which I'd expect to be fast) with exactly the same results.

Broken Sword demo runs beautifully from Microdrive; maybe a bit of lag on audio. PocketAtari should be less reliant on the Microdrive than any large game.

I definitely think WM6 feels snappier (though my machine did get sluggish; perhaps the memory leak issue mentioned), but there are some WEIRD glitches going on here. One of the most telling things was when messaging popped up; directly before corrupting PocketAtari's screen with a notification, the messaging application's "activation" caused PocketAtari to run at full speed.

I think there must be some CPU "optimisation" going on within the WM5 build on the Ameo, and I don't think PHM actually cured it for me (I tried forcing the CPU fast for PocketAtari, and just forcing the CPU fast overall).
