Yes, I am aware that 4.4 blocks the permission. Yes I, I have used SDFix. No, none of them worked. What can I do now?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
IDK Which is causing this and am trying to figure out how I can find the culprit, but my Edge has suddenly begun locking up and completely freezing where if left alone like that it hot reboots, it had to of been a recent app I installed in the past 12 hours cause wasn't it doing it last night.

How can I figure this out to see what the last processed app was before the lock up and battery pull.

Seriously I've pulled my battery at least 6 times today and it's driving me insane. Went and uninstalled a few recently installed app's but still am suffering.

Bout ready to break something if something doesn't change. LoL! I can't even be up from a fresh reboot for a couple minutes without it locking up.

Wished I knew about this awful lag beforehand, would've waited for the Note Edge 2. I don't get how a Note 3 can out perform a Note 4 Edge.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbit12:
Not really an edge problem. Specific to your piece.

If you've already uninstalled the recently installed apps, then next step would be clearing cache from recovery.

If that doesn't work, then looks like it will have to be a factory reset. Do backup first.

If rooted with a custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and see.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
I may just do a cache cleaning then a dirty flash, see if that gets rid of the problem or if it still presists to remain present.

Oddly enough if started acting up when I uninstalled SetCPU, now I'm looking for a more up-to-date CPU Tweaker/Tuner.

May also delete the Android folder on my external sd card, since I've been cleaning up and cutting back on a lot of app's, uninstalling a few everyday, installed a bunch from a backup, then been weeding them out.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Recovery > Wiping Dalvik Cache, System and Cache then dirty flashing the rom all over again seemed to work and allow me to keep all my app's and stuff.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
It turns out I think it was the Xposed Module Power Nap. Uninstalled it and no more lockups.

Would it be possible for someone (with a bit more knowledge then me) to update the Wizard Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=wizard_WM_6

If you look at the available WM6 ROMS on the Wiki page you can see that almost all the new ROMS are not included. I think if this page could be updated and if we could add a short descreption/link to each rom, we would lose a lot off, "which rom is the best" and "what are you using" threads.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
I agree with you partly, the wiki does need updating. I will volunteer my services and update it a bit mid next week when i have more time.

I plan on putting basic rom information and an "im stuck in bootloader HELP!" section and im not too certain what else to include.

Perhaps the rom section could include the most recent working roms that are available. The trouble is there are so many roms, many of them just variations of the same thing.

'The Best Rom' is a subjective description based on one's personal preference. First time flashers should ask themselves "What am i looking for in a rom?, How important is speed, stability, free memory etc?, what apps do i use all the time?" and then choose an appropriate rom, instead of posting a poll asking random people for their opinion on which rom is best.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Lees:
I agree with you! Fisrt time users should find out for themselves what they are looking for in a ROM, but if the general information about the different ROMS is easily available in one thread, they can easily comprare them and make there own choice, instead of posting new threads eveytime.

And with regard to all the different ROMS, we can also keep it a bit more simple and only put the most recent and most used ROMS in the wiki. This will give enough choice for the noobies and will give a nice view on what's out there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
it would also help if a mod could sticky the wiki at the top of this forumso it was more easily accessible
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
Ok. Four days from now I will begin updating. Im not looking to overhaul what exists already but I would like to make it a bit more complete. I will aim to limit the deletion of content.

In the meantime perhaps members could suggest what could be improved with the current format of wiki. I would be interested to hear what other people think of the current wizard wiki in terms of readability, relevance of information, content etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
I think that is a very good idea, but i do partly think you are wasting your time as the new poeple would not read it!!1 They would still ask a million different things!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] hanmin:
I'm sure you are capable enough to update the wiki :D Just need to spend a bit more time doing some research works that you are interested. I've done a whole WM6 Underground page during my research on upgrading to WM6.

Anyway, the "which rom is the best" is a personal thing which seems to be directly influenced by the 'freshness' of the ROM (e.g. new roms tend to be better than older ones). While you can always put a "best-est" rom at the wiki, noobs will probably just post and ask. Chances are, if anyone were to look at wiki, they would have looked through all the ROMs threads on people opinion on the ROM.

It is a waste of time. There are a lot of stickies that arent' read. If some just do not want to spend time reading, it will be useless to have million of flashing stickies. How many noobs do you think read one of those stickies saying search before you post?

No idea if this works, just came across it and figured I'd point people to the discussion thread:

Saw this as well. Wanted to see if this worked on the VZW S6 as well before taking the plunge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Natef53:
I looked into making the changes to the build.prop but ours is pretty different than the tmobile version. The instructions state that not all S6's will have the same lines to delete but they also mention that leaving duplicates will cause a bootloop. I don't feel like having to odin and wipe my phone if it doesn't work and at this point I cannot nandroid. I will wait for someone braver than I to post their results here :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] TechBSwift:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
Yep. I did the same thing, and I'm not getting as many redrawn at all. Apps are definitely staying in the state I left them instead if restarting. Very happy.

Scrub that.

My phone was sitting in my pocket for 10 minutes, and when I went back to the apps, they all restarted. I hadn't noticed this much before now, but it's annoying me now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Natef53:
Eh. I went for it. Just a heads up to others, there was only 1 duplicate value for me to delete, not the 3 or 4 that most people are reporting.

Not sure why the differences but my phone didn't get stuck in a boot loop :good:. I will try to remember to post back after using the phone for a bit to see if there is a noticeable difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Squintz:
Any update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Natef53:
Thanks for the reminder!

Overall, switching back and forth between apps does seem faster. I haven't noticed any slow-downs after extended periods of time (2+ days without restarts). The phone doesn't run any hotter, battery life seems the same. Apps still reset after a while though, relay for reddit is something I use quite often but if I don't use it for a few hours it reloads.

I was hoping this would solve a slow-down issue that I am having where I am running spotify, waze, and textra's pop-up response (as a passenger of course). It didn't, the phone still slows down in this situation.

Overall, I don't see any downside to the tweak, so go for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
Just a thought. Has anyone thought about using an apps2sd type of app to free up memory space? I remember having to do this years ago on an older phone (probably an older nexus)

Admittedly we shouldn't have to be doing this, but needs must.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
This doesn't make sense to me. How does installing the app on sd card effect ram?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
I think I've confused myself. I give up. This phone is an enigma. I wish it didn't have TouchWiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
Why did you buy it then or better, why didn't you return it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidfan1:
This literally has NOTHING to do with RAM. RAM does not equal storage space. What you are referring to is freeing up storage space -- again nothing to do with RAM. Secondly, there is no SD card space, so this does not even make sense to do on the GS6.

Now, I have a question for those who have edited the build.prop. Has anyone used Root Explorer to do so? Secondly, to avoid bootlooping, did anyone change permissions of the build.prop file? To quote someone from a different forum:

Have you guys changed permissions to this? I want to mess around with my build.prop but don't want to boot loop because I'd have to Odin and it'd just be a hassle / annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
Because there's no viable alternative.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Sadly I agree with you. It sucks that on vzw we have to pick between choices that imo each have very negative things about them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
I changed my build.prop file using root explorer (long click and edit in text editor)

When I saved it, it gave it the right permissions as far as I could see. It also backs up the original file as well.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Also, I trusted Samsung to have given some thought to memory management themselves, and not have us figure it the f**k out. I thought I was done with this years ago.

My retired moto x on Kit Kat is far superior to this phone in many regards.

i'm just frustrated. This is an expensive-assed phone, and it looks like we are being treated as guinea pigs. Not a pleasant feeling.

:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] falcon589:
Just did this and restarted, phone seems to be a little snappier though my RAM still shows pretty low. System is taking up 1.3gb down from 1.4gb and my free is hovering around 800 mb. still not ideal but not terrible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
Curious, what is your idea of ideal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] falcon589:
Over 1gb free would be ideal. I dont have a lot of apps running besides a few email clients and messaging apps, and I'm running CleanROM as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
That's what I thought.

You need to refer back to how android manages memory. Doesn't work that way.

Free RAM = wasted resources until that point where apps need more memory than available. The more stuff already in memory the faster it's going to resume etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nrage23:
I'll just leave this here since Android is based off of Linux. Free Ram is not your friend.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I've been messing with this DHA business now for some time. I still don't understand it. What I do know is the S6 is a typical android device, in that it fills its RAM only leaving a small dedicated portion aside. The device runs amazingly well with full RAM. I'm not sure how you guys check your free RAM, but there is no way to get an accurate reading on the phone. The thing is, cached apps fall into the free category, I'm not sure why. So ANY Android device that shows over 1GB free RAM is FOS. The only accurate way to gauge how your device is managing memory is to run "cat /proc/meminfo"(without quotes) from terminal or adb shell.

People have noticed with improved multi tasking by editing DHA stuff, your device may(very likely) get slow and start locking up after some time. That period of time varies with how a particular person uses their device, but it will happen. What I've found to be the cause isn't full RAM. The actual issue is swap being full. The S6 has a swap partition exactly half the size of the amount of (available) RAM it has. And it uses it, Samsung set swappiness at 130. So within a few minutes to a few hours of booting up, depending on how the person uses their device, swap is already full. Once swap is full, the devices performance takes a huge hit. I've been messing with swap and VM settings in conjunction with DHA settings. Every time I think I'm making progress and pass the new settings along other people have issues.

Samsung stopped using zram in favor of zswap. I've done a ton of research on zswap and it is very useful, when working correctly. In short, zswap is a dynamic compressed section of RAM. Pages are compressed and stored there rather than being sent directly to swap. Zswap then determines what is least important and sends it to swap. This has been proven effective in large systems, and been tested extensively by IBM with tons of documentation. The problem is, I don't think it's working correctly on the S6. I can't see a device with 3GB of ram, a portion of that being compressed, also needing a 1.3+ GB swap partition, which is also always full. Makes no sense. I've compiled AOSP on a POS laptop in the past with 4GB RAM and swappiness at 100 and it never swapped. Why is the S6 so swap-happy?

Anyways, sorry to get long winded on you guys. I was checking out other S6 sections and came across this thread. I haven't received much feedback from anyone that may understand better than me so my hopes are someone will read something I've posted about this stuff and chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gytole:
I don't have any issues with slow downs, but I also dont close out my apps all the time as I dont use facebook and I only use google messenger, chrome, yahoo mail and youtube. But what I highly suggest is running SD Maid and buying the unlocker, and running Fstrim daily. Fstrim Severely speeds up any slowdowns I have ever experienced. But with clean rom lite and rom toolbox having disabled everything I dont use samsung wise, I score average of 6+ hours SOT and no sllw downs. I am also using the stud silver theme because of how black it is to save ppowaaaahhh

But seriously, sd maid and fstrim are life savers for me.

Oh! And I keep my phone on power saving because I dont use vibrate, and i hate the stupid lighty uppy hardware keys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bobbarker2:
Fstrim daily.. this is silly. it isn't doing anything to speed up your phone, android does it's own trimming since 4.3. And what is SD-Maid, something like CCleaner? Again, probably has little to no impact on performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gytole:
I was under the impression when trim was announced that it will only run when the phone has sat for 24 hours asleep and UNdisturbed. I notice an immediate difference using (Trimmer) Fstrim, and SD maid really helps keep bloat off your system, and it optimises databases and everything. I personally an not a fan of ccleaner.

Can i restore it back.?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mav3rek:
Ok, first off I will apologize for being so new to all of this and not really knowing much about the process as a whole.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

I would like to be able to play the original Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe on my Shield Tablet and have it run decently stable.

I'm not sure where to go from there. I know nothing will be 100% flawlessly perfect, but I'll take what I can get and try to work out the kinks later. I would assume I would need some form of a windows environment that would include the ability to mount an .ISO file to the CD-ROM. The game requires the CD in order to run, (and yes I do own the game and have a copy of my CD).

I have tried searching, but have not really come across anything that seems to be able to point me in the right direction.

I feel like I'm fairly tech savy, but I have little to no experience with Linux/Android. But if anyone has any suggestions as to a starting point, I will be more than happy to start down the rabbit hole from there.

Thanks again in advance for any help anyone can provide.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaintAsonia:
Hi

I'm already try to start Windows too on the shield.

actually i can start the Setup but after or on time the "machinecheck" is running on Windows 2k, or XP it's freezing..

Windows Vista, 7 or 8 let the device Crash directly..

but you Need to root your device without it wouldn^t work..

I'm Right, that you try to run Windows or?

-> You Need to run 32bit Systems!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mav3rek:
I have been able to get a heavily modified Windows 95 to work through DosBox Turbo. It is the one used in the Fallout tutorial. I did get Roller Coaster Tycoon to install and load and play using the version that includes Daemon Tools, but it is too unstable. It will play, but crash after about 10-15 mins. I was hoping to find an alternate solution that would be a bit more stable.

Also, I did get a Win 98 environment up and running using the Limbo PC emulator through QEMU. It is a little slower than I would like, but again, I could mount the Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe ISO file and install it. However, I can not launch the game, because Win 98 will only run in 16 color mode. I'm not sure how to configure QEMU so that it will recognize the display, and at least do 256 colors.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaintAsonia:

Do you have any link to your Emulator? -> on my shield i can run Windows xp now stable..
