Can I use your profile you posted in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58341128 or I'll stay with stock setting???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
It's best to stay with stock settings. Have optimized them and using these settings as my daily driver. I will hopefully improve the profiles soon.

Do you think Hyper is the best Governor for a good battery life combined with quite good performance?

regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Hyper scales more aggressively than ondemand or pegasusq, but because of this, it is very stable and smooth. Pegasusq and ondemand has the occasional lags, but battery life is unmatched. You either going to compromise something in order to gain something else. Personally hyper is best for me, neox/pegasusq/ondemand are the only other good options we have.

Hi. I have been using Gustavo_s "kk-kernel-04-02-TWRP-TRIM" on CM11 Weekly which has trim enabled, never runned fstrim. It has been working flawless.

Your kernel should work just fine wright? Is your kernel CWM or TWRP recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j1gga84:
without running an app such as fstrim or Trimmer (fstrim) what I like more, your system is not trimmed. Only installing an kernel that brings TRIM support does not mean that everything is trimmed after flashing the kernel ;)

Dorimanx is custom CWM 6.0.4.8 ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodybags:
Hello, just a question about this kernel. Why is it that every time I flash it, I cannot access the internal storage (sdcard0)? I do fine with Apolo but all DorimanX kernels I use this always happens :( Does it have something to do with the size of the partitions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Let me guess, your internal storage is formatted as ext4 right? This is a known problem with dorimanx kernel, I need to talk to the real developer to fix this. A temporary fix would be to format internal SD card to fat32 or some other filesystem, that way all kernels should work after that. Make sure to back up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodybags:
Ah thank you! I can format it with CWM/TWRP right? but I would lose all my data, correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Yes, you will lose your data, that's why a backup is recommend. You can format in CWM or in TWRP.

[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
Hi. Last night I've updated to las OTA. After reboot and installation it make a reboot and never start again, it stopped in gear live initial logo and stay there until batteries end.

Now, when I plug the watch it show battery logo forever and if I press the bottom enough time it goes to startup infinite loop.

Some help?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
Things that I've try:

Go into bootloader Ok.

Go into recovery fail: Do nothing and start to warmup.

Download twrp version 2.7.1.2-sp.img and twrp 2.8.6.0 and fastboot boot twrp.img: Nothing fastboot say ok and after that just nothing, watch start to warm

Download SamsungGearLive-sprat-ddPull-AdamOutlerDevice-24July2014.tar.gz ... inside lots of img's files, I've try to boot with recovery.img and.... nothing.

I'm soooo lost.
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Ok first things first: is your bootloader unlocked? if not then you can't flash/boot anything that is not signed by the Samsung/Google for our specific watch. So you can't boot into TWRP unless you unlock it. fastboot oem unlock will unlock it, but for security purposes, it will also reset your watch to factory.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
Thanks Aligatror, it is not unlocked, i wish to restore to stock and I've tried to boot from external google//samsung recovery with out look.

Regarding the stock firmware i can't find anywhere instructions about how to flash everything and were to find factory images.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
Did you try the Gear Live restore tool? It's in the gear live android development forum
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Yes, it is a great tool, but there appears to be a broken bluetooth file in the v3 image which makes it impossible to pair watch to a phone. So, use V2 instead.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
I do it and .... worst! now it still in boot loop but everithime show de lable "Recovery booting" Even in batery charge!

The only thing that works is bootloader.

Note I've unlocked and locked

:(
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Which version did you download and what option did you select? Recovery boot message is normal when you do unlock since it erases the user partition. Select option to restore to stock or something like that in that program you downloaded. Just make you that you have version 2 and not 3.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
I did with version 2 and 3 I do it by hand because linux script does not work.

I've flash boot recovery and system partitions included in the tool zip file.

And. ... nothing :(
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Is it still stuck in bootloop? Can you boot into recovery from bootloader?
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
I can't boot into recovery. Only bootloader works.

Every time that I press recovery from bootloader I get an "recovering boot " forever
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Lets try something more radical.

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

And then flash boot, recovery and system.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
No, I can't go into recovery, just Bootloader. recovery hangs and normal boot hangs too.

I have take a look to update script and it have a new img for partitions associated with it.. I have flashed all of them and.... nothing.
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Try reflashing the bootloader itself. Download latest OTA update

sprat-LDZ22J-from-LWX49K.1e8de7cf.zip

Extract it and you'll see bunch of files "bootloader.xxxx.img". Flash all of the .img files.

fastboot flash apnhlos bootloader.apnhlos.img

fastboot flash aboot bootloader.aboot.img

.... and so on with all bootloader files.

Reboot bootloader and try booting into recovery or system.
[Samsung Gear Live] Mquinteiro:
It is exactly what I did yesterday and no luck!

The only thing that I coulden't did was flash 5.1.1 recovery, and other partitions because it come like .p files (dif images)

But thanks
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Well I guess your only option is to flash to 4.4, flash older bootloader and request repair service from Samsung.
[Samsung Gear Live] naaaaail:
Is the watch effectively bricked once that image is flashed? I've come across your post too late after reading about the tool. Used v3, told the tool to restore to stock, the watch boots its image fine but the bluetooth is definitely broken now (phone won't connect to it). I can get to settings to enable ADB on wear but I can't authorize my PC it seems, never get the notification on the watch screen to allow the PC. It's just stuck at the initialization telling me to Install Android Wear on my phone.
[Samsung Gear Live] aligatro2010:
Its not bricked, but the bluetooth is not working due to corrupted file. You can flash v2 no problem. Just make sure to do reset after flashing.

My friend had his phone charging behind the bar I work at & I pulled it off the charger to give it to him & when I did the screen went blank with a white line on top. It's still charging now & when I turn it on & keep my finger on it it gets brighter and eventually turns back on briefly & goes back to black with white line on top. Is the phone shot or is it just a loose wire or bad lcd screen?

Android x86 (x86_64)

​

First, thanks to the devs of the Android x86 project. Second, a thanks to the guys who have created the various patches that enable support for the Surface Pro 3 hardware in the Linux kernel.

This is an x86_64 build of Android (both userspace and kernel). The 32 bit only, as well as the 64 kernel/32 hybrid builds didn't work properly - 32 only wouldn't boot for me (YMMV?), and 32/64 would boot with audio but had issues too.

I and the other guys at the Android x86 project could very much use all the help and assistance you can provide in getting this device working. I'm not super up on the various tweaks possible and required within Android,

What Works:

WiFi

Battery and power status

Both Cameras

Power Button (only if you hold it down to shutdown; screen sleep does not work)

Type cover and mouse

Touch

Volume buttons

Video (DPI is not set to native, currently)

Not Working/Known Issues:

Random crashes

No OpenGL

Screen sleep/hibernate (works in Linux, I think)

Disconnecting the keyboard crashes the GUI, but it restarts

Rotation does not work, though I believe the rotation sensor should work

This is not ready to install, and the installer doesn't work. DO NOT USE THE INSTALLER

Sound does not work in this build; it may be a kernel config issue or a 64 bit issue as it worked on past kernels/builds (32 bit)

To install, download win32diskimager and use it to write the img file to a USB drive. You should then be able to live boot android from the stick, provided you have secure boot disabled.

[Microsoft Surface] epic118:
How ironic - the volume buttons work and the volume doesn't, haha :)

In any case this is a great effort, and I can't wait to see where this project goes!
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
Indeed...strange since I had more broken previous builds work fine with the audio. I probably need to check the kernel config.

Thanks!

[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
It works great. :)

Any progress? Would there be anything I could do to help? Very interested in getting it working. Did you modify the source and compile it yourself?

Tested on SP3 i7 256.

:)
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
Yay! Thanks for trying it!

I haven't had a chance to mess with it lately but will attempt to sometime this week. As far as help, I don't have anything public right now but only have changed things in the manifest and kernel repos. I could put those up on github or bitbucket if you'd like to mess with them as well. Yes, I compiled and configured myself, and added kernel patches for the SP3. I need to see what patches are required for kernel 4.1, because I believe it has some native support now.
[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
I honestly know nothing about Linux, despite a decent programming background in C... :(

But soooo many people would be interested in this for their SP3. So keep it up!! And thanks heaps.

If there's anything I can do though to help, PM me. I read elsewhere that people try different versions and distributions of Linux to find functional drivers for devices, and then try to import them into the Android x86 package. I don't know if that's the case or not but if you want me to try find working stuff from different distros, I'll totally do it. :D
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
:)

To help, I'll always need testers (getting ready to try and upload a new build later today). As for distros, it's more just grabbing the appropriate kernel patches for hardware support. While some changes may need made to Android in places script wise for some hardware, everything else will "just work" once all the drivers are stable.
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
New build! See top post or: https://mega.nz/#!RUV3gAiJ!nKnKTPS94UtMNAGcrvbeAjoh8FntJ-WqHZF2mw2J36s
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
(removed) - bad build
[Microsoft Surface] nickisverygood:
Awesome!

The only thing is I'm not able to gain superuser access after installing(and so as live) so I can't install playstore.

The installer works for me; i installed it to my sd card. It would be great if the grub bootloader installer provides is a touch version.
[Microsoft Surface] aurelios69:
If you install this build on your sd all the data is keept after the shutdown ?
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
No touch bootloader for now, but you could probably find one that would work.

You'd need to set the DATA= line in the bootloader, the Android-x86 site should have instructions.
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
Not mine, but rbg's build of Kitkat (now with the patches used here) for 32-bit, the most recent one, is rock solid! Sensors don't work yet and neither do the volume rockers, but everything else seems good!

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-x86/q-B7lrRzeiM/5IJ-J_J13s0J
[Microsoft Surface] aurelios69:
Hi, even the sound works ?

Coube you please upload the patched version that you have ?

Many thanks
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
I haven't built one of Kitkat yet, I'll have to try it with the patched kernel.
[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
I just tried the latest build from rbg and it's great. Locking works, volume rockers and audio all work too. :)

But how do you install it? I've spent a few hours trying. I can't install from USB because the typecover won't work in the setup so I have to plug in a keyboard and use the MicroSD. So I shrinked the Windows partition and created a 32GB NTFS volume for Android and I've installed to it several times but can't get any sort of bootloader running. :(

I won't complain at all though. This is amazing and the installer probably has issues but I'll impatiently ask, does anyone know how to get it installed and bootable from SD or a seperate partition? (Not Live of course). :)

Thanks guys. And rbg. :)
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
I've not yet installed it but I think you'd have to setup a bootloader like refind or another, and if you need secure boot, you'd also need to setup a shim to be able to keep it turned on.

There are guides around that should work, I forget where, that you could adapt.
[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
I got it. :)

I just used an old Lenovo laptop to install from the bootable USB to the Micro SD, didn't install GRUB but did select to install GRUB2 EFI. Now the SD boots on the surface. This is totally amazeballs.
[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
Hmm, alright. Bit of an issue. Driving me crazy.

The first install I performed worked fine. I installed from USB to SD card, it was bootable, rebootable, and retained user data.

I broke it trying to install the Google Frameworks. No problem, just re-image the SD and try again.

Since then, for the life of me, I can't get Android to boot on anything other than FAT32 or NTFS. Ext2 and Ext3 fail, all I get is the Android boot screen logo graphic with the moving bright bar that moves vertically though the logo. That one.

And I'm scratching my head. Like heaps. I tried different SD cards, re-imaging the USB I use to install onto the SD with, formatting the SD as Ext3 using different software, cleaning with diskpart and using other utilities to fully zero the SD and trying all over again. I can't work out why it worked the first time. I deff use Ext3 the first time around and had the entire SD card worth of accessible memory. NTFS would be fine but I don't understand why the installer doesn't allow > 2GB disk images?

Anyway, I don't mean to steal the topic. :( Just thought I'd post my issues in case I'm making any obvious mistakes, or perhaps solve the issue before it drives somebody else cray cray.

Thanks!! So close. :)

Edit: Couple hours later... No luck. :(

FAT32 Works with disk image 2GB limit.

Formatting the SD as NTFS and running the installation or formatting the SD as NTFS during the installation always seems to result in a FAT32 disk. (I was hoping to get it running as NTFS and expanding the 2GB disk image manually).

Formatting as Ext2 or Ext3 results in a laggy infinite Android graphic boot screen. Instead of a smooth animation, it's probably about 1fps.

This is taunting me. :'(
[Microsoft Surface] aurelios69:
The screen auto rotation works?

I wil try it if this is working, and post the results later.

Have you tried to follow the guide on the android x86 Google group ?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

Any news with 4.4 ?

Does it works better than lollipop ?

I really would like to try this, but I dont have the knowledge do apply the kernel :(
[Microsoft Surface] aaroncmx:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-x86/q-B7lrRzeiM/5IJ-J_J13s0J

That's rbg's 4.4 build. As far as I can tell, everything works. The only thing I haven't tested is the motion sensors. (Magnetometer, Gyro, Accel, whatever the Surface has).

I can't get it to boot from an ext3 partition though, only FAT32 which doesn't really have enough system image space left to install gapps.
[Microsoft Surface] ilikenwf:
Sounds like something you should ask on the Android-x86 google group. I believe there's a shellscript somewhere on there to install the google services.

Booting from the sdcard

Hey guys,

I have used the latest image on a usb drive and it works great on the SP3.

I then install it to an sd card and it booted after the installation. All good.

The installer installed Grub to the sdcard. but the SP3 just wont boot from the sdcard.

I read that using Grub2 EFI could solve the problem.

Any ideas on how to get it installed on the sdcard? and lastly how to add the entry to the grub boot menu to also have the choice to boot windows?

* Also is it possible to use windows bootloader and add an entry to that to boot either windows or android?
[Microsoft Surface] mcc2005:
I have ubuntu 15 on my Surface Pro 3 and would like to boot Android x86 by grub2. It works but it stuck at android logo. So what is my fault?
[Microsoft Surface] aurelios69:
I have the exact same problem :(, and I dont know what to do
[Microsoft Surface] markgeary:
Grub 2

Ok so i have some sort of a solution but its not quite right.

I found grub2win which will automatically install a grub bootloader on your windows partition that supports EFI.

You can then have a boot entry for Windows and a boot entry for Android.

That all works until i try to boot android.

I set the boot entry to use root=(hda1, 1) (the sdcard and parition 1) but it fails.

In the grub cli if i type ls: It shows as Hda1, gpt1 which i then tried next but still failed.

So a little closer but still not right!

Also Grub2 doesnt support touch but works with the attached cover keyboard.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

I would check if the live usb works, and if it does, its your installation as your booting is working.

If the live USB does work, i would use it to reinstall Android on that partition
