[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi,

I'm trying to implement a backgroundTask in an Universal Windows App (Windows phone runtime 8.1) and I need to do a consult in the database of the App in order to connect to my webservice on the cloud. The foreground of App uses sqlite-net nuget package without problems. But when I add it on the Windows runtime class (backgroungTask) generate 24 errors on the class Sqlite.cs. I have searched more information About this, and I have found other package that is better (because It is compatible with xamarin) that is called: sqlite.Net PCL 3.0.5 So I have installed it in my backgroundTask Project and I get an error that is the following:

Error	6	Windows Runtime type 'Windows.Foundation.Point' was found in multiple referenced winmd files. Please remove either 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\12.0\References\CommonConfiguration\neutral\platform.winmd' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd' from the list of referenced files.

I don't know what I can do with this error. Could you help me to use sqlite in my background task?

Thank you!!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi again,

I have got to solve the error that I have comment because the sqlite.net pcl doesn't need vclibs12 so I delete this and then I get 24 errors. All are of one kind error, DateTime. It returns the next message:

Error	9	Method 'Tarea.UnixToDateTime(System.Int64)' returns 'System.DateTime', which is not a valid Windows Runtime type. Methods exposed to Windows Runtime must return only Windows Runtime types.

Then, the information that I have on this format, how could I get them? Or Have I change all code and the database with other type?

Thank you again!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
A DateTime is just a 64-bit number underneath, with a little metadata about time zones and such. You should be able to either create a C++/CX struct for it, or just pass the int64_t and re-build the datetime on the other side.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi goodDaytoDie!

Thank you by your ideas, I have changed the type of data of the Database to int64 and I have calculated the date with DateTimeOffset (this works on backgroundTask). In addition, I didn't know this type of data, but I like it because it allows get the date on different time zones without making nothing.

Thanks!!:good:

Hi, I have been using my phone from many months but only I face one problem is for storage and can't even use external sd card for games data or obb. After lollipop update it consumed more space from internal. I can't play high games like gta sa or any other which take a lot space. I want a solution how to use external ad card for games data or obb. Please I need your help. Is there anything Terminal emulator could help me? Or show different ways. if there is any guide to solve this just give me a link that wil be a good too. Thank you.

With lollipop update, this tablet gets UEFI. With UEFI, hou can install Intel generic android image. It has it's own bootloader, unlockable by fastboot oem unlock or something similar. If anyone is interested in making cyanogenmod 12.1 for this device, he can use Intel's rom as a base, instead of ASUS' one. This way, the ASUS' bootloader will just go away, and with a full emmc backup, which can be restored from live linux, you can always go back (but who wants ASUS' bloated rom and ASUS locked bootloader, when we will have Intel's bootloader and generic cyanogenmod, which will work on ALL x86 UEFI devices, Including Windows tablets and Android tablets with locked OR unlocked bootloaders?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arriagas:
Whenever you start messing with Android’s system–rooting, flashing custom ROMs, and so on–you should first make a nandroid backup in TWRP. That way, if anything goes wrong, you can restore your phone to its pre-broken state.

-Install TWRP recovery. -------> http://xdaforums.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-alcatel-pop-3-5015-t3387035

-Boot into TWRP recovery.

-Click the Backup button.

-The following screen will appear. Tap the “Name” bar at the top to give the backup a recognizable name. I usually use the current date and what I was doing when I backed up–like 2016-08-020-

-Check the Boot, System, and Data boxes, and then swipe the bar along the bottom to back up.

NOTE: Backups are fairly large, so if you get an error about there not being enough space, you may have to delete some things on your internal storage or SD card before continuing.

The backup will take a few minutes to complete, so be patient. When it’s finished, you can tap “Back” to go back to TWRP’s main menu, or “Reboot System” to reboot back into Android.

If TWRP asks if you want to root your phone, choose “Do Not Install”. It’s best to flash the latest version of SuperSU yourself rather than having TWRP do it for you.

http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_5s_vs_lg_g2_vs_nokia_lumia_1020-review-997p5.php

The same GPU used on iPhone 5s. Based on this benchmark, it's better than Adreno 330 I think.

Adreno 405 isn't top class GPU. According to GFLOPS numbers, 405 is better than 1st gen Adreno 320 (S4 Pro, S4 Prime) and weaker 2nd gen.

But all about benchmarks, the most important is user experience and last but not least is optimization
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansebovi:
Adreno 405 is only half as power of powervgr g6430

Adreno 405 is middle range gpu

While powervgr g6430, adreno 320, 330, 420 are last year and current flagship gpu

Gpu mostly rated by gflops

http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/

And adreno each generation have basic, mid, high power gpu..

Adreno 405 is 4th generation (05 means basic) and can match 3rd Gen mid

Adreno 420 is 4th generation (20 is mid) and can match 3rd Gen high gpu

See gflops of each in that above link

And yes optimization is the most for gaming
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz07:
The PowerVR G6430 in Zenfone 2 is clocked higher than iphone 5s but lower than ipads and Atom 3570. Its performance is between the Adreno 330 and 430 which is excellent given that it was designed in 2012 and released in 2013. Reclocking it at 640Mhz like its 3570 brother should give a nice run for its price, still technically, it won't be as fast as Adreno 430. However, in real world usage and coupled with a more powerful Intel cpu, it should match it as the CPU is able to extract more GPU power.

If you are really looking at the most powerful mobile GPU, the Nvidia Tegra X1 is at the top, close to twice the performance of the top Qualcomm 810 GPU, Adreno 430. In Antutu, it only scores 75K because the CPU is slower than others like Intel. 75K is still unbreakeable for the moment. Surely, Nvidia and ATI have much more experience in the GPU domain so its not surprising that they are the fastest.

Now, only if ATI partner with Intel to provide us with 14nm goodies :angel:

p.s: To have a broader picture, the Tegra X1 chip is close to twice the performance of a PS3 which is astonishing considering its small size and 2W max power consumption.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorg:
Nvidia Shield TV based on Tegra X1 has active cooling system.

So, how it can be compared to phone SoCs?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz07:
My bad, I though it was found in the Nvidia Shield tablet. Its its brother the Kepler K1 that is currently used but still at 365 GFlops on nvidia website, it competes with the adreno 430. Note that the PS3 was 192 GFlops.

Interesting fact is that the Tegra X1 actually draws much Less power at idle and slightly less power (1w less than Kepler) at load. Kepler would peak at 11w. Thanks to the new 20nm tech in Maxwell cores efficiency. The Nvidia TV Shield has much more and larger components to power, its also for sure clocked higher.

''According to Nvidia, the power consumption in a tablet powered by Tegra X1 will be on par with Tegra K1. In fact, idle power consumption will be even lower thanks to the various architecture improvements. Tegra K1 was designed to operate at around 5-8 watts, with infrequent peaks up to 11 watts when running stressful benchmarks, so the X1 will be well within the realm of tablet power requirements.''

Heres this too: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/NVIDIA-Announces-Tegra-X1-Maxwell-Hits-Ultra-Low-Power

I really like the fact that PC manifacturers enter the mobile market, after all, they were building computer components for ages. This will open the door to more powerfull and cheaper SoCs especially because they have the ability to mass produce and develop the latest tech with many factory plants worldwide.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buk-Lau:
Maxwell can very power hungry when you clock it all the way up, and X1 has more CUDA cores than K1. X1 has 2 SMM with 256 total while K1 only has 1 SMX with 192.

also, pc manufacturers have always been in the mobile market, or you could even say they started the mobile market. for instance, Apple was a pc manufacturer, steve jobs dedicated 70% of his life to PC rather than phones. samsung makes everything and they have a lot of experience too in making notebooks. so the two most powerful (or most successful) players in the mobile sector are also pc manufacturers, what do you mean by pc manufacturers entering the mobile market?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz07:
Its getting off topic but Intel or Apple weren't the first one to build a cell phone. Intel was the first company to build a CPU though. Motorola built the 1st cellphone.

On a sidenote, Apple never really built anything except for aesthetics, it started with IBM building for them after non-success with Synertek for a couple of months. Btw, Samsung does not manifacture PC CPUs or GPUs. Only CPU they build is the Exynos for mobile. I think you misinterpreted the fact the they sell laptops, yes they do, but they are not the one building its major components, its Intel and AMD. They may build its memory components but not CPU or GPU.

You are seeing technology the other way around. If we take, let say, a 2 years old gpu and a new one. The new one can have double the transitor and components count yet still consume less power. Its about architechture efficiency and transistor nm. e.g. the Intel in our Zenfone 2 is built with 3D 22nm transistor which is more power efficient. That's how tech flow.

Anyway, apple is slowly declining, Intel is building their PC segment, replacing IBM, and Samsung is building their next iphone and taking care of the mobile segment. We can already see whats next.

I have been building PCs for over 15 years, its my hobby.

The problem are not the first two lines. It seems in this context it is not allowed to write to "/".

The last one is: I want to make /system writable when RIC steps in.

This is another layer of security from SONY.

I want to move a su to /system/xbin or execute the update-binary script from chainfire's SuperSU.

Maybe I have the time to figure out how to disable RIC and do this.

Another approach:

william-roberts writes no disabling SELinux on production kernels

So compile an engineering kernel.

Or another one: investigate the source of init from the Z3 AOSP and try (impossible?) to use this as 64bit on the Z4. I think the patch to prevent SELinux here is a very useful hack.

Still another one: edit the system partition to include a su in xbin and reflash that
