[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogriv:
Hi Strephan,

1. Model Number: SGH-I337M

2. Android Version: Kitkat v4.2.2

3. Firmware Version AP: I337MVLUGOC4, CP: I337MVLUGOC4, CSC: I337MOYAGOC4

4. Service Provider: 7-Eleven Speak Out

5. Country: Canada

6. Is the phone rooted? Yes

7. Is a custom ROM installed? No

I ended up flashing using odin with the following file and everything seems to work fine except for some reason there is a HUGE amount of space that's has been taken up on the internal SD card and I can't seem to figure out what or where it is.

Here's the link to the ROM and instructions I used:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/45777/I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_RWC/

Please let me know if there's anything I missed, Sorry for not waiting, I got impatient!

Thanks again for your help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
How much is "huge"? You should have about 9GB remaining after the stock ROM is installed.

Oh, and the ROM you installed was fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogriv:
Hey Strephon,

I was left with just under 400 mb after the install. I suspected that it was my CWM backup image taking up the room but after deleting it-it STILL still showed my phone was left with just under 400mb BUT after I rebooted - BAM, total available space now 4.45GB. yay!

I'm tempted now to try out the imperial ROM for lolipop but I'm guessing I'd lose OTA updates right? In fact, I'm guessing I'll lose OTA updates if phone is rooted? Do you know of any custom ROMS that are identical to lolipop but SLIMMED down ie: doesn't have any of the samsung, rogers, bell, crap?

Thanks again for your help Strephon!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes, using a custom ROM will cost you OTA updates. But, given the fact you can install a ROM using Odin without losing data, losing OTA updates is simply not a big deal.

None of the Touchwiz custom ROMs have the Rogers, Bell, or Telus bloatware. The Samsung bloatware though is a given on those ROMs. The good news however is that there are guides on the forums here that can be used to customize those ROMs, by deleting the bloatware from the flashable zip before you install it.

The ROMs that aren't based off Touchwiz, in addition to removing the carrier bloatware, also remove all the Samsung bloatware and its customizations, leaving you with something closer to what Google offers on its Nexus 6.

In general, the ROMs in the Android Development subforums are based off Touchwiz, while the ROMs in the Original Android Development subforums don't use Touchwiz at all. However, at least in the Android Development subforum, there can be exceptions.

Hey Strephon,

Just wanted to write about my experience so far.. After flashing to Lolliop 5.01 the email app was slow as molasses retrieving mail, so after some research I discovered doing a cache wipe was supposedly going to fix it..... NOPE! screwed up my phone so then I had to do factory reset. After which FINALLY, it was fixed. THEN, I wanted to get rid of all the bloat ware the stock Lollipop ROM came with. I decided to tackle this with the nifty program called Debloater. After some trial and error removing vital things that resulted in me having to factory reset 3 times and ultimately ending with a full re-install of Lollipop ROM via Odin I FINALLY have my phone setup perfectly the way I want. It was aaaall worth the time and effort, I'm really happy with the results - it's like a brand new phone!

Anyway, just wanted to share this with everyone. Thanks again Strephon and XDA - keep up the awesome work! :good:

Don't worry about the OTA, we won't be getting any more updates anyways lol?

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Sangoria:
Hello,

I am experiencing a rather odd issue since about a week. This is my story:

I am running CyanogenMod on my OPPO Find 7a. I stayed on a build from 2014 (a nightly) that was working okay for me (CM 11, Android KitKat). I decided to update my version last week to the latest CM 12.1 (on Lollipop), and even though I ran in some issues (gapps, update the recovery, etc.), after doing a clean install, it seemed to be fine.

However, just after installing this new build, my problems started: my phone was randomly shutting down (like if no battery was left), but then when plugging it back in I could see it wasn't empty (sometimes it was 20%, sometimes 50%, sometimes as high as 80%). I thought it could be caused by corrupted battery stats, so I tried a bunch of apps and different methods to reset this, without success.

I also tried a factory reset, reinstalling of the ROM, changing the recovery to the cyanogenmod's one, changing back to TWRP (latest 2.8.6.0), wiping the caches, etc. None of this helped.

Today, I decided to install a backup I had from before the installation (a KitKat backup then), to see if the problem came with the new ROM. The phone seemed to work better at first, but after a while I experienced again this sudden shutdown (black screen, phone dead, Android didn't shut it down). So I started to monitor the battery level and voltage, and I noticed something surprising:

When plugged in, the battery voltage is steady at 4300mV. When disconnecting the charger, the voltage is dropping between 3300 and 4100 depending on the charge level (from my understanding, it is a normal behavior). However, as soon as I start using an app that is heavier (for example, Google Maps and jumping from one city to another frequently), I notice that the voltage steadily goes down, and the temperature of the battery goes up.

My conclusion after these tests is that the phone shuts down when the voltage gets lower than 3000mV (something around that value), after few minutes of using a "heavier" app. I checked regularly the temperature, and it didn't go above 30C (it was 26C when idle, I doublt 30C is a problem for a Li-ion battery).

So I have now these questions:

Is this normal that the battery voltage drops when using heavier apps?

Shouldn't the OS handle the load to avoid it to get under the threshold shutting down the phone?

Is it my battery at fault or probably some wrong installation of something? I find it odd that the battery problem appeared EXACTLY at the same time than the Lollipop update I did (and I saw many people having battery issues with this update).

Unfortunately I don't have a second battery to test if it works better, and I'd like to avoid buying one for nothing if possible...

Thanks

EDIT: another weird thing happening, the phone seems to need to restart several time to get in the recovery...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] thisisjason:
I'm having this problem too. I just got the phone on eBay, and updated to Oppo's Lollipop AOSP beta. Hopefully it is something with a quick software fix. I haven't tried switching ROMs again.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Sangoria:
I changed my battery and it fixed the problem. So it was a hardware issue apparently, just odd that it appeared exactly at the same time of the update.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Yeah. Your description was a clear indication of a failing battery or (possibly) at least a dirty battery contact.

Batteries will drop in voltage under load, but a healthy Li-Po should only drop a little bit (Probably maybe 100 mV, worst case 200 mV or so under load is my guess, I'd be pretty surprised to see a 200 mV drop from a healthy LiPo under reasonable load). If it's dropping a few hundred millivolts under load, the battery is toast or there's a loose connection.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ghgh1:
Hi,

I can buy this set from a person https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDgekGMVyEo

Is anyone has experience with Motorola Keyboard and Mouse (for Atrix) with Nexus 7 2013?

All I saw on the web is problems with pairing the mouse or keyboard lags when Wi-Fi is on, but the posts are from 2013 and probably it was with old android version - mine is running 4.4.4 now.

I can't try it before buying.

Can anyone recommend about this set? or another cheap android Bluetooth Keyboard(with mouse is better!) for the Nexus 7 2013?

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentlydirk:
Model Number LG-D855 16gb

Android Version 5.0

Kernel Version 3.4.00

Software Version V20e-EUR-XX

I'm having problems with music playback on my LG G3, which I recently bought second hand. It came in the box having been factory-reset and initially everything was fine and dandy. In fact, I was well on my way to falling in love with the phone and Android in general.

Then I tried to play music on headphones with the phone in my pocket.

Problems

1. At first the phone stopped requiring a knock code to unlock whilever an application playing music was open. Now, the phone doesn't require a code at any time. This seems quite bizarre, but I can't find a setting to turn this feature back on.

2. To my knowledge, previously the phone required a press on the unlock button on the rear of the phone for the screen to turn on. Now, two taps on the screen will turn it on. Another tap will pause or change a track. This makes it impossible to put the phone in a pocket while music is playing, because after a few paces the song has paused or changed.

3. I think there's a motion-control feature activated. The motion of putting my phone in my pocket nearly always pauses the track that is playing. In any position other than lying flat on a table, the music frequently stops and starts.

All of the above behaviours happen with the native Music app, and also with Spotify, in equal amounts

I'm prepared to install another type of Android such as Cyanogen because I was already considering doing so. But I wouldn't mind knowing how to fix this first, or at least an explanation as to why these things happen at all.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justyourimage:
Nice. Looks pretty fine. For some reason this reminds me of the good old Slim Roms - just even cleaner - definitely worth a look.

How 's the Camera performance / quality compared to Stock TW / CM ? :)

Edit:

Here 's a good video showcasing some of the UI-Features (still 5.0.2):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqD0Cp9ZsZ8
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] xDan21:
The camera still working very well, the quality is :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justyourimage:
Here I was going to complain about how the low light quality sucked with "A Better Camera" @ ASOP ... then I flashed back to S5 TW to compare ... and yea.

ASOP - A Better Camera

TW 5.0.0 - Stock Camera:

That said the Animation-Settings FC on me everytime I try to open them. Now I only need to find a good CM12 theme I really like.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
Since you took that availability can you make couple more comparing but with a little better photos on Stock? So we could have a post with this. I already saw multiple occasions people with that doubt.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] :
Does Boeffla kernel work on this ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pollie81:
Yes
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justyourimage:
I'm already in the process of doing so. Will take a few days thought since I need a few more scenes and I'm testing battery life as well before I nandroid and reflash stock and so that I can make comparison pictures. :)

That said I can say that I've noticed that A Better Camera does tend to be a bit on the blurry side from time to time - that and that the manual focus is not that great compared to other Apps.

However it 's still the best Camera-APP I've found to be usable on this ROM with the S5.

So far I've tried Camera FV-5 and Camera MX beside A Better Camera ... if anyone has a (better) suggestion which Camera APP I should / could try as well I'm open for it.

--------------------

What I love about Exodus (Compared to Stock TW 5.0.0 Debloated - XtreStoLight v2.2 BOD3):

UI Smoothness is way better then on Stock TW. At least it feels so. Everything is as smooth as butter without OC or anything.

The Connection Speed (Browsing and Downloading on both W/M) is way better then on Stock TW. Everything is lightning fast.

The Screen-On-Time Battery-Drain is better then on Stock TW (drains about half of what Stock TW drains).

Must be due to the better inbuilt advanced Auto-Brightness features (which worked very very well in any condition so far!)

It boots rapidly fast as well - even after a Dalvik / Cache clean

It's as light as it gets - no useless Apps preinstalled (~75 Apps in total if I remember correctly)

And even if you don't like some of them just use the Inbuilt System App Remover to remove them

Inbuilt Adblocker

CM12 Theme Engine

Boeffla and KTOONZES Kernels both work

Xposed for 5.1.1 works

What could be better:

Animation-Settings FC with the latest nightly build Fixed with latest nightly from 25.06.2015

Inbuilt 5-Way Reboot menu

ASOP Browser would be nice for a start

The Lockscreen could be more customizable out of the box - like Widgets, more Pattern-Styles etc.

What 's the same:

RAM Usage seems about on par with a fully debloated TW Rom Seems to be ligther by about 100-300 MB in use.

What 's not so good / I'm unsure about/ I dislike so far:

Camera Quality is ok for a Custom Rom with "A Better Camera" installed. Still in the middle of doing comparison pictures.

I'm unsure why my Standby-Time is a bit on the bad side so far. I'm still investing and am trying to see if Powernap / WLD will change / show anything. Fixed that with Powernap for Xposed which is working with Boeffla Kernel with SELinux set to Permissive and the latest Xposed Alpha got 0.0% drain in about 3 hours which settled at about 0.5% later on.

No Fingerprintscanner of course
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
I have a second S5 with stock at work. Took some pictures and will also post tomorrow. There is a difference but not as much as I thought and as I alerted said, I can see clearly Samsung post processing. But I week post tomorrow as soon as I get there.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justyourimage:
Thats true - in direct comparrision I also noticed just how much postprocessing Samsungs official Camera APP tends to introduce in some scenes. I for once am not sure if I really like that.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
Here are some examples. Tried to keep the picx original for a real comparison if you like.

STOCK 1

CM 1

OTHER 1

STOCK 2 WITH STABILIZER

STOCK NO STABILIZER (RAW)

CM 2

OTHER 2

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

I believe this shows, that if you don't consider post processing all pictures looks pretty much the same. That is why when people are looking for Cameras on better picture quality it makes no difference Android, AOSP, TW, etc. Because the sensor for all of them are the same.

The difference is on the Post Processing, and that TW makes a difference, though, I think it is too much.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] xDan21:
I've tried it for 2 days and I think that it reduces the battery life
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] :
Youtube really lags bad sometimes. Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justyourimage:
Never encountered any lag with this ROM. Thought I'm not using the YT-App anyway ... just like any GAPP I can avoid using. The Mobile Page is well enough for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] :
I've finally fixed the camera quality issues. I'm using Snap camera HDR, which is one of the best camera apps out there. It supports camera2 api, and it has many more advanced options. One of those options is saturation level. As you all know, the saturation levels on AOSP are not even close to the ones on TW. What you do is, you increase the saturation from 5 to 9 or 10. I've taken the same pictures, with the same light conditions and the pictures taken on AOSP are much more saturated than the ones on TW.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
I always thought the TW was way way over saturated. So, you just managed to make picx even more saturated than TW? hahahaha
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] :
I don't know how, but I've transfered all the comparison pictures to my pc and the aosp ones look more saturated.

Randomly stumbled upon this rom in original development thread. I mostly check only the AOSP based unified thread. Any idea why this is not included under that? This rom is awesome and probably not many people check this subforum thats why its not getting the love that it deserves.

A tip to get better and more stable Wifi speeds on G900F (tested with nightly 01.07.15):

Switch Wifi to 2.4GHZ Only and set Region to US in Advanced WiFi-Settings -> Double the speed and no dropouts.

Before I had troubles with corrupted downloads when the file sizes were bigger (e. g. Exodus Updates) now it 's working flawless 99.9 times out of 100
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] garyblake:
One problem i have is trying to pull down the notification area on a full screen game or app. Its like the activation area is really small as it only works one in 5 attempts.

Any easy way to fix this?

Other than that this is the best vanilla rom i have used to date!! :good:

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pollie81:
Not really important but this rom is far from vanilla.

Vanilla Android is pure AOSP without any modifications or optimisations.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] calvin35:
There is a setting for that. It's either under display or notification bar. It needs to be selected.

My mistake. It's actually under Development Options. You need to deselect "block gesture touch events" under the input section.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Pollie81:
This rom deserves much more love then it gets. Running really great on my S5.

Thanks, i really love it!
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] calvin35:
I agree. My only issue was the lower speaker volume when playing YouTube videos. Unless there was literally no noise in the room I could hardly hear what was being said.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] garyblake:
That was exactly the problem! Why would it be off by default?!

Thanks for that mate.
