Gear VR

Just purchased a Gear VR and installed the AEL Kernel. Unfortunately all I saw was double images on the top and bottom and stuck on the "look here to acknowledge".

Is there anything else I need to do to get the VR working with PopRocks besides installing a custom Kernel?

Going back to stock to confirm that there's nothing wrong with the unit.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you try emotion kernel? Heard it works great with VR
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah, looks like the days of dirty flashing are gone for me. On KK and before you could get away with keeping /data/ as long as you wiped all the other phone partitions (system, dalvik, cache). Looks like Lollipop doesn't like that. Kind of sucks because of how long it takes to re-setup a device... But hey, at least my phone isn't almost literally on fire now.

Looks like custom kernel is the way to go. I rarely ever run stock anyways. Bioshock 3.6 and Emotion R14/15 are Permissive (Bioshock 1.0 COD6, based off of the stock kernel with working Wifi Calling was accidentally uploaded as Enforcing by the dev).

Android M is making *huge* changes. Not sure if you guys have been following: http://www.androidpolice.com
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No as far as I know you just need a compatible kernel and to set it up...I can't say much else until one of the vr guys drop by but so far just from feedback from the boys a kernel with fk or pr was good to go

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] James62370:
Appreciate the suggestion, guess will give it a try once I can confirm it's not the unit that's bad. I had installed all the apps before hand just so I can use it immediately. Back to the drawing board!! I can feel it's going to be a long night.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yeah, that is one issue where if they see knox tripped, you're usually sol.

As Mega was saying though, dirty flashes can effect heat for sure and kernels are always a very possible culprit too.. Depending on how they are tweaked as well.

Hopefully the new one will be much better. Nice to get a 128gb microSD too but trust me, the card has nothing to do with any overheating. FYI in case you use TWRP, it doesn't play very nice with 128's and sometimes 64's..been seeing a lot of this myself.. With cards that were already used on oc or Android then try to see in TWRP.. Fresh pc format first should help..

Yep dirty flashes can totally cause the hardware to act up.. And even though we can't definitively say what x custom kernel may be doing, it's always up there on my list when there are hardware abnormalities.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
As soon as someone with any issues mentioms dirty flash I stop listening (jk). Seriously though first thing first... Proper wipe, Odin and int SD wipe if needed then flash and see what happens on stock.....if all good then wipe and flash this and see what happens again.

Only way to go if your having major issues.

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
No no, you're right. But it used to be like if you knew what you were doing (wipe everything except /data/, unless it's a base update [then wipe everything]), you're ok. But I think we've reached a point where we should absolutely be wiping everything internal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Agree and it sure a pain in the you know what lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yeah I remember those days.. Was nice that's for sure.. I used a few roms on jb and kk that every update worked just fine flashing right on top, let alone wiping system first (sometimes needed) but alas those days are gone.. Does save ton of time!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the issue with dirty flashing used to be simply a control mechanism so I could weed out peripheral issues and trace where people messed up xyz to help remove any issues from their setup...esp newb guys without a method or much history tinkering....but now on lp its become a must just to properly run the build as intended...which def sucks for people that used that method...bar any small performance or efficiency issues that may have arisen it wasn't a deal breaker in the way lp has become

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Speaking of dirty flashing.. Just in case someone is crazy enough to not do a nandroid backup before testing Xposed mods (or just lazy) and you pooch it.. A dirty flash of pr right on top will typically get you back in BUT only do this to get/backup what's needed and then do a full wipe and fresh flash :)

Xposed Mod update

Speaking of heat as some have posted here today I just noticed something with the "cpu temp in status bar" mod.

After a reboot it shoots up real high (like 70-80 Celsius - that 150+f) and when it hits 80 it turns off screen and flashes red led. Lasts few seconds and comes back.. May do this twice.. But then goes back to normal (30 c) and seems fine.. I never really feel any heat at startup but could be due to short time..

In general now it seems to be posting 40-48c(100-115f) in general use.. But doesn't "feel hot".. System tuner reports same temps)..

This only started after mod install.. So not sure if a misreport or actually jacking it up.. Will have to see..

Wow.. Ya real bad.. Just a one off or sort of the norm? System is high and damn Google Services stuck in there.. For some gs just comes and goes depending on updates.. I assume u haven't changed anything within the services to spike it? Gps, location tracking, etc?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sudbury78:
Yes! I used WiFi location services. Must be it. I like using Google now to all its potential but that seems impossible with lollipop
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's impossible in general imo...google is notorious for having the worst apps in the play store in terms of battery drain and insane permissions....it's absurd how bad their apps drain for what little they actually do and it removes any enjoyment or small benefit from using most of their apps or services unfortunately

I used to support google and follow them...but treating the nexus users as beta Testers and never polishing anything after a while it's like enoughs enough...here they're hyping android m while android L is an absolute mess still...I don't get it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea maybe...the deal is I already added into your guys v3 that was done essentially in tandem with tmo v4... almost all of the v4 mods and stuff bar a few small additions to peripheral mods...non functional ones so in some sense it wouldn't be worth reflashing or building when you can enable most of those mods after the fact....I def looked over v3 last week to see if it made sense to push a v4 out....I may still depending how long it'll be till v5....but i'll more than likely wait until v5 when more performance or efficiency mods are optimizing the build itself when you'd have a functional gain by flashing it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
So I was playing with Fauxcontrol and noticed something was not letting my CPU come down from the high 2GHz (2.5-6). So I used an app and found "DCMProvider" was at the top of the CPU usage list. I have no idea what it is, but clearing it's data instantly let the CPU control itself normally.

I'm praying this is why my battery has been so bad and my phone has been so warm doing nothing intensive.

Edit: I Googled it and it looks tied to the SD card...That makes sense considering my SD card area gets warm. Just googling "what is dcmprovider" comes up with tons of battery drain issues.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yep it is ridiculous.. I'm trying to use less and less Google too..

As for Android M.. Hey Google, what about L!? Less then 10% have it... Many who do only after 6+ months of waiting.. Issues galore.. And was far too over hyped, while delivered little extra but a ton of wishy wash security that has only made things worse in general... And so many still waiting.. And here we are now, the next one is already being presented to be released in few months... WTF?

This is sadly where Apple has it right and a point it's users will always win over us Droid'ers..

I'd love to see some crazy and they treat LP like Honeycomb! Lol! Around for a bit (only tablets mind you) and gone and forgotten.. And onto bigger and better things.. The GB jump to I'm was huge and awesome..

Make M worthwhile and relevant and let LP fade away... Would never happen but would be nice..

At least the adoptable storage option looks promising. If there came a day that I could use a third party case that has storage incorporated into it that connects to the micro usb port, I could live without external sd.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I mean I guess....but that's no different than we can do now just with more security...that would already work as is... I mount 2 sd cards on my note 4 all the time lol....tbh there's no feasible explanation imo for removing the sd storage...the hw is tiny and the code is standardized...we can all make due for a lot of stuff that wouldn't make sense I understand that side of if this then that... but ill be honest having a G Flex with no sd vs notes with it there is no comparison practically...plus I hate cases...so I'm not exactly impressed by a work around especially for what is already a generic standard across almost all electronics not just phones...cameras mp3 players fitness trackers computers/slate tablets...it just does not make sense to me for Google/manufacturers to remove that function it's completely stupid and entirely arbitrary...Esp as 128 gb cards come out and the prices for sd cards are nothing...having that case as an additional option for a 2nd card would be amazing...having some new abilities added to additional options I'm all for but not removing one for the other...like I hate using the concept of a storage case as the justification behind gutting a standard feature like Samsung try to justify s6 not having a side port sd ... and I hope the s6 is not the path samsung follows...because there's nothing gained by removing that feature

just popped in my 2nd sd on my note 3

Just for perspective how small were talking...this is my external sd mini usb converter...internally it's literally pins and a small chip that's why I'm so against it...there is no logical explanation they can offer that's not sheer greed to market higher internal sd sizes like iPhone

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
How is that possible? I have an N910T with Emotion Kernel R14 (tried 15 as well, and even Bioshock kernel). PopRocks V4 clean install (wiped everything). My phone runs warm on the back and battery life is terrible. I've had this phone for about 2-3 weeks and so far it's MUCH worse in the heat and battery life department than my Note 3. I have no wakelocks and barely any usage.

Rather than just complain, is there a way for me to help the dev and upload a log? Can someone walk me through generating a log (how to do it, how to save it, how long to use my phone for)?

I'm really not doing anything special.

I have greeified the usual apps

Have you tried a new battery? You can get new ones now for under $15 on Amazon.

Anker is a great company. I own a of their batteries & chargers.

Have you tried to odin stock & start over? Wiped internal storage? Wiped data, cache AND system?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Here's what I've done so far in owning the phone these past few weeks:

- Got in like-new (mint condition), but used from someone. 100% trustworthy, nothing wrong with the phone as far as we know.

- It came with stock Lollipop, never rooted, Knox was 0x0, never tripped

- I played with it stock for a while, then rooted it and tripped Knox 0x1

- Installed Poprocks V3, then dirty flashed V4

- When the issues started, I went back and wiped everything except MicroSD and clean installed V4 (wiped everything x3). I made sure to delete anything Android-related on the MicroSD card though; I only left downloads and multimedia on there (pics, movies, music)

- The phone runs warm unless I leave it doing nothing. The heat gradually builds up. Once or twice, it has gotten REALLY hot (but that was when I was running V4 dirty flashed over V3). The heat comes from under the camera area, and also near the microSD card.

- I use Greenify. Google Now disabled (completely including voice). Nothing set to sync earlier than 3 hours (like Sync For Reddit), except if it's a Google app like Gmail (then it's default Push).

I'm really at a loss here. The phone is a great phone, but it's performing worse than my Note 3 in terms of heat generated and battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gjohnson7771:
Man that is crazy! I'm not sure why my battery life is so bad. Although, I have never had great battery life with this phone. It was just lightyears better than my 2 year old Nexus 4.

I would love to figure something out. I know I can use my phone quite a bit for voice calls due to work, but that just depends on the day. Any suggestions???? Would a log be good?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Can you install/use something like system tuner or the CPU temp in status bar mod.. Just so you can see actually live temps..

Then see what it does for first minute at boot.. Then after it settles.. Then do some basic browsing, texting, moving around os.. Then play a video..

And one just sitting for a while or after it is sleeping

Let's see what the temps report for all these scenarios..

Are you on performance Governor or have the minimum cpu level over 2ghz? Hit while typically come from constant high cpu processing..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Well I've experimented with Synapse, Aero Control, and Faux Control. So I can reinstall one of them. Right now I'm running Emotion Kernel R14 without any CPU tuner apps. By default I believe it uses the Interactive governor with normal/stock CPU frequency limits (2.649 GHz / 300 MHz).

Like I mentioned before, yesterday I noticed a process called "DCMProvider" eating up CPU cycles and causing the phone to run at max frequency (I saw the frequencies in Faux Control). So I wiped data for it and the phone was able to scale properly. I froze the process, reading that it was tied to the Samsung Gallery (which I don't use; I use QuickPic). I read that it generally does this if there's a MicroSD card in the device. As far as I can tell, my card is not corrupt at all, and there are no wakelocks signifying that it is stuck reading a corrupt file (also little to no "Media"/"Media Server" usage under Battery in Settings).

Ideally, I'd like to generate a log or something that someone can use to point out what's happening in the background. It doesn't seem like an uncommon issue; I've seen plenty of people with it. So I'm really wondering what it is.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Oh yeah I was going to post about that.. I haven't seen dcm since s3/s5 days.. It typically is fine but if there is a problem, it uses a ton of battery and processing..

It is direct connect manager and is some sort of media cataloguing feature.. Doing this on internal and external memory..

From what I found, if there is one corrupt or somewhat problematic file (image, video, etc) it just keeps "syncing" over and over endlessly.. Thus causing battery, cpu overuse.

It can be very hard to find this file(s).. In my cases from way back I had one issue on microSD.. Format fixed it.. The other time was internal and couldn't find it.. So backed up a few needed things and wiped it too.. Both were solved.. But I personally haven't had the issue in a long time..

I researched it a bit last night and something is forcing dcm provider to keep syncing thus the problem.. It's not super common.. Only when something messes up causing it to go nuts

***

Can't remember if it was still happening when u had you SD out.. But if not, then it on card.. If so it's on internal.. Then it's good luck without internal wipe
