For those with the higher scores, are you running lollipop based roms? Does lollipop and it's ART or something lead to higher scores? I'm stuck on a locked bootloader 1337 running Hyperdrive 4.4.2 and KTweaker kernel, but highest I can get is about 32k.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Oxraw:
I'm simply not believing some of these scores. There's just no way even a modded and OC'd S4 is hitting near/topping S6 scores along with some other phones. Something isn't right, unless lollipop's ART is way more efficient over kitkat.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xell75:
I agree with you, I get with my GT-I9505 S4 a Score from 34134. And I can't believe that the I9500 has 20000 points more, that's not possible.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Oxraw:
I've even lowered the resolution and dpi (as some of these screenshots suggest they lowered their device resolution to possibly get a better score) but as of the current version of Antutu, they made it so that it doesn't affect the score at all. I can bump all the way down to 480 or lower with the 3D part running at pretty much max frames, and it doesn't affect the score at all. However I've noticed some people are also running an OLDER version of Antutu which might explain something.

I've OC'd my cpu and GPU and I can't even come close to 40k, even with literally no processes running on a custom rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ari25:
I guess this has to do with the emphasis on single core performance on the new version of antutu. Oc'd to 1.7 ghz cpu. Uc'd 480 mhz gpu. Voltaqe kernel with stock deodexed rom (OH7)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgonman:
I just switched to a Verizon LG G3 (VS985) from a Verizon Galaxy S4 and noticed one thing that's really bugging me. With my old S4, I could set a notification (SMS) sound on a per contact and per group basis. The Verizon variant of the LG G3 does NOT have this functionality. However, the AT&T variant of the G3 (D850) does have this functionality.

On my G3, I have OTA updated to Lollipop and then rooted the phone.

My question is this. Can I copy the contacts apk from an AT&T G3 to my VZW G3 and get the per contact notifications back? :confused:

Just wanna know, whether I can flash a EU RUU on my Asia-HK HTC 816 if i am on S-Off.

I am badly in need of updating to Lollipop, but I can update the Kitkat OTA since it says "System/app/ Books.apk has unexpected contents" or something. So wanna flash a RUU. But only I can find a EU version RUU here.

EU RUU I found on XDA,

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcjunky:
I don't know if you can do it, but I wouldn't. You're playing with fire and could brick your phone. What is the rush to upgrade to Lollipop? Be patient and maybe someone can help you. All I know is the OTA update needs as clean a stock installation as possible. I have a vm/usa phone and had to run the ruu for kitkat to get the lollipop ota to work.

I'm not sure if s-off causes a problem for OTA updates, but I guess it could. Seems that other people with s-off are having problems updating, but I think most likely they did some mods that need to be removed or overwritten by a stock rom. If you haven't already done so search for the error message you got when updating and maybe someone already has a solution posted.

Android noob.

OnePlus One 64 Unlocked and Rooted

AT&T Wireless

Last running Android 5.0.2 /Cyanogen 12 (I'm sorry but I dont know the version..It was not a nightly)

Hello all,

I was getting some odd behavior on my OPO so I thought I would restore Nandroid. I made a Nandroid backup after I rooted my phone using The Bacon Root Toolkit The restore process hung for about three hours on an app so I shutdown and tried to start all over.

At this point, I'm happy to wipe everything and start from scratch

I am stuck on the Cyanogen recovery screen.

I've tried to Wipe data/factory reset and then reboot system now but no matter what I do, I keep coming back to the Cyanogen Recovery screen

I need help restoring to original factory setting

Thank you so much in advance for the help
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
My first piece of advice: ditch the toolkit, they're nothing but trouble. Plus you simply don't need them for this phone, everything is simple, if you need instructions for

anything

just look here.

Your best course of action right now is to flash the stock images with fastboot, you'll find detailed instructions in the guide thread I've linked you to above.

All of a sudden after a year running cm10 (I think) my touchpad gets stuck in the infinite boot loop. The cyanogenmod logo comes up and the arrow goes around in a circle than freezes and goes back to moboot. I just tried to install 10.1 and the same thing happened. Should I just try to use ACMEuninstaller and install everything again? Do I just run the uninstaller through the command prompt? Is there an easier way to do this? My usb connection for the device seems to be spotty too. I can't touch it or it loses connection. Any help would be appreciated. I haven't updated my touchpad in a long time.

You could try flashing the system.img, the bootloader.img, recovery.img, boot.img, radio.img, and the cache.img without flashing the userdata.img (which wipes your device) but I would just suggest wiping data. I have read though that numerous people have been successful updating to the new build without wiping anything though.
