[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] crackd:
Anyone else using the Google Now Launcher with your Turbo 5.1 and experience slowness -- especially when returning to the home screen?

If I press my Home button, often there is a 1-2 second delay before any icons show up. I tried clearing the cache for the Google Now Launcher and Google Services, but the lag still continues. I don't recall having this problem with 4.4.

I used the OTA update to 5.1 and have not done a factory reset. I'm tempted to do the factor reset, but would prefer to avoid it if possible. Thoughts?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
Just do the factory reset and enjoy real smoothness and better battery life, you won't regret it.

;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Slartibartfast_:
Yes, I see some slowness, as if the phone is redrawing the home screen again. I experienced it in Nova as well so I don't think it's a GNL issue.

I have done a full factory reset after upgrading to 5.1.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rgerrans:
Likewise seeing it with Nova. Have done a cache wipe but not a full reset.

After clicking through random posts on AndroidCentral/XDA with people complaining about similar issues, I was linked to an Android bug report ( Issue 79729:	Memory Leak on Lollipop crashing Apps), which is apparently fixed in a "FutureRelease" -- so I'm guessing this isn't in 5.1?

Hi there.

Just in case you missed it...Good news for everyone.

Since HackingTeam was hacked (and their source code was leaked) we all can root our devices like they used to do with their spy tool (they were able to root all devices included those with sepolicy enabled)

The exploits are publicly available (with the source code) hey devs, take a look.

https://github.com/hackedteam/core-android-native

Systems affected:

http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/2014-3153

http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2013-6282

it's just a matter of time and a new wave of "rooting tools" will come out....

meanwhile do not update your systems 'cause the patches will roll out very quickly, I suppose.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

towelroot was only one of the three exploits (+1 for the selinux injection).

The futex and put_user ones are brand new. moreover, in the code, you can see more hacks targeted at samsung devices AND knox.

Dear friends,

I have solved the problem myself but I want to share the problem I faced to you, so as to contribute a bit of knowledge.

Precondition: I always use a magnetic stand to charge up my z2.

What happened: Last night I was in my grandma's house and I forget to bring my magnetic stand so I used the standard usb charging. That night, a power outage occur. Total blackout. I didn't notice because I was sleeping.

The next day when I unplug the phone, I noticed two things: the battery was at 47%, almost the same as the previous night, which is understandable given the blackout occurred. Secondly, all hardware buttons (the power button, the volume adjuster, and the camera button, as well as the magnetic pins) all fail to work. I was only able to open my phone because I enabled the double-tap-to-awake thing. The usb port also didn;t work, i cannot connect to a pc, and neither can i charge up.

Solution, I pulled out and re-inserted the micro-SIM card while awake, this automatically rebooted the phone. After that, it all worked.

Thanks for reading.:)

Dear friends,

Can you help me? Why my Lenovo K3 Note (MTK 6752) is Quad Core not Octa Core?

What must I do to activate for quad core become octa core?

Thanks and regards

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yzak58:
Who said that your phone has a Quad Core CPU?

According to Mediatek.com, MTK 6752 is an Octacore SOC.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

BTW, some manufacturers do disable some cores in order to yield a better battery life or if the phone has overheating issues.

If that's the case, I think the only way is to flash a Custom Kernel on it.

This is not from a rooting team. This is from the italian company "Hacking Team" which is offering professional hacking-tools to their customers (also governments).

This company was hacked and all their exploits got published. This android stuff is one of many repositories with exploits of this company.
[G4 General] boosting1bar:
Yeah I'm aware they have root and they've had it for over a month with no release so they obviously haven't been successful in making it safe for everyone. Hopefully now instead of being a closed club we can have additional talented devs helping to speed the process along. It's not a slight against the guys that are working on it, but at the same time why limit ourselves to the 3-4 talented guys that are working on it when we have an entire community willing and (many) able to help.
[G4 General] jaron7_11:
really do hope there is some type of update to getting this phone rooted... if the camera wasnt so good i would have ditched this phone long ago
[G4 General] boosting1bar:
Yeah mine unfortunately has been laying on my desk unused other than using the camera for the past couple weeks. I've been using my S6 in the meantime and grabbing the G4 when I know I'm going to want to take pictures. I want to like the phone and it's got so much potential but every time I swap my SIM into it within 20 minutes the same old problems rear their head and I use it for whatever I'm doing and then go back to the S6 :/
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
The devs working on it are some of the best in this community. Disrespecting them like that won't make it any better for us. Different devs work on different brands of phones. You're more than welcome to find your own method of root of you don't like their precautionary process.

[G4 General] boosting1bar:
That's why I said they're very talented guys, the fact remains there are no results to show though. As I also said specifically, it's not a slight or disrespect against them in the least. I'm just pointing out that the more of these talented guys that we have working on it the better. I'm not sure why you feel the need to turn up in every thread pertaining to root for the G4 and try to derail it by ****ting on whatever the thread is about? Unless you've got a more constructive comment to provide I'd appreciate you not derailing this thread so that it gets closed as all the others have.

If I were able to come up with my own root method I would've. Since I'm not a developer and have little knowledge of these things I'd like to provide links like the one in the OP to those that can make better use of it than me as my contribution to the forum. If you have your own method of coming up with root or using the provided information usefully then please do, otherwise carry on.
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
Whether you think it wasn't, your comment was a dig at them. I don't "sh1t" on root threads. The only threads I input my frustration on are the people who keep repeating the same stuff that's been explained over and over again. You should take your own advice about constructive comments. Like I said, if you aren't happy with what the current devs are doing then find a root method yourself. They don't HAVE to do anything for us. They do this on their own time and don't have unlimited hours a day to work on things. Patience is a virtue. Root will be here within a couple weeks or less. If other devs want to take this and run with it, so be it, but it's not up to us to voice our opinions and commentary when we aren't donating any of our time and abilities in this community.

[G4 General] SpinningHook:
As a friendly suggestion, boosting1bar, maybe use "other" instead of "more" when positing something similar to this sentence, "Hopefully now instead of being a closed club we can have more talented devs helping to speed the process along." I get what you meant to say, but to some, it might read as a qualitative statement (as in developers with "more" talent than the ones being referred to), rather than a quantitative one (i.e. additional developers).
[G4 General] boosting1bar:
Everyone has their own interpretation, I guess those of you looking to be negative will see it that way. Hopefully the others who can make use of the information will see it for what it actually is.
[G4 General] phineous:
When I read your post, I saw how people could misinterpret it, but I thought about it like this; A nicely packaged one-click-root from the current devs would be great, but if I could have root tomorrow, I wouldn't mind needing to stick my fingers in the guts of the android like the old days.

I'll risk a brick for a quick and dirty solution!
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
Well he said "more" in a sense of quantity not by any means of talent. I feel like if "other" was used it would be a little more disrespectful. But that's my opinion
[G4 General] SpinningHook:
I get that, but because of the way it was worded, it was clearly interpreted otherwise. Hence my suggestion.

As for "other" being more offensive, I'm not sure I see how, unless you elaborate. To me "other" would imply "other developers in addition to the ones mentioned." But I suppose there are always "other" ways to interpret it.

I will digress here, as I would prefer this thread be steeped in the semantics of rooting our common device as opposed to being bogged down in the semantics of intent.
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
I will as well since the semantics will not get us anywhere. How are you liking your g4
[G4 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
I you will risk a brick, There is another method "supposedly" with KingUser........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRxvdXeMtWY.

Don't risk your phone. But if there was somebody who knew about the matter and could look up the app without having to install it, it would be good.
[G4 General] grimjeeper:
Or a comma.
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:

[G4 General] Swizzle82:

[G4 General] phineous:
Why would they upload it to Google drive? They should know it's not going to last there.

I like how their YouTube comment swears there isn't a virus in the file and they don't know why Google keeps saying there is!
[G4 General] jaron7_11:
Lol... I thought that was funny to... And the vid doesn't even show a g4 being rooted but he says he will upload it
[G4 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
That video is pure crap. I found the app, it installs but it won't run on the G4 (force closes), I did a factory reset before and after installing it. It's based on another called 'Key Root Master'. I think uses the similar method as KingRoot (but even creepier). If he doesn't upload a Rooted G4 other than H815, lets just forget about it.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I think jcase used a pervavsive exploit that works with many phones but it is not publicly disclosed. He uses that to get in and have a look around for further phone specific exploits that are both easier to implement or, when patched, only affect a small number of phones. Some years ago devs struggled long and hard about using linux kernal exploits and releasing them into the public domain because it made so many other devices vulnerable. Originally they only used Android specific ones. You see, you have to either be at the mercy of developers and trust their code, or you have to trust the script kiddies that use exploits for malicious intentions. Life is like that in general but my point is that bashing the good guys is in poor form. They are the ones with the bigger picture and more considerations. I have written many thousands of lines of code and many people have relied on it for both it's competent function and lack of maliciousness.
[G4 General] tabp0le:
Also guys, FYI the CVEs mentioned in the OPs links are not applicable to our device. This is what towelroot was based off of.

I just spent a very frustrating half hour trying to work out why my XDA Orbit (connected to T-Mobile) wouldn't send an MMS message.

In the end I found out that the problem was that I had WiFi turned on. As WiFi was on it didn't seem to think that it needed to connect to GPRS to send the MMS and was therefore unable to connect. Does anyone know of any way to make it connect to GPRS and send the MMS irrespective of whether WiFi is on?

WORKING ERA:

At the beginning, I tried and flashed different ROMs for my phone but some didn't work at first and I managed to know why and fixed it myself. I flashed Lollifox, Lollipop, and MIUI for MTK6572. MIUI didn't really work out for me since it has a different language in certain parts; Lollifox was kind of slow and just themed; Lollipop was okay enough though. When I tallied them, I found Lollipop the best and tried to flash it again (I was in MIUI cause I tried it last). When I flashed it back, I didn't seem to notice the bug because everything was working fine except the NVRAM warning and Invalid IMEI but I already knew how to fix those. When it was fixed, I downloaded One More Line (Im sure you've heard of it) then tried to play the game.

NOT WORKING ERA:

At the start and/or menu screen, touch was working fine; I would hold it and the menu option would just highlight and not be selected like it would normally do. When I started to actually play the game, the grapple wasn't working. What I mean is, you're suppose to hold it and it would grapple to a point (I've played the game before, I'm not that newb). I was holding it from the very start but still no response, the game just keeps going and of course ending in the 14-16 mark... I turned on the pointer display and xy coordinates, the touch was being detected although the game was not responding to it. I tried other games but they seem to work fine, it was just the game. I thought that maybe this was because that I flashed other ROMs and I need to start from scratch and try to flash it from stock to Lollipop. It still didn't work after flashing it. I was getting frustrated and tried to flash the stock ROM using SP Flash tool and Format All + Download to actually play the game (maybe I'm obsessed, whatever). The game still didn't detect the hold and then it just keeps going.

Other games seem to work but how come it doesn't work anymore?

Is this because of the actual game and not my phone? I don't seem to have anyone with a similar problem with this game so I'd doubt it...

All ROMs tried were compatible and I ported it by myself by reading instructions.

Thank you for the in-depth tutorial. How well does this run? In the past I have tried (ARM based devices) and it runs like trash when trying to start applications. Does it run smooth on here?
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
It's pretty much native linux, so comparable to whatever's out there. As far as X goes, it's pretty smooth with XServer-XSDL. <-- hands down, the best Android X Server out there.

...and you can further increase the speed of X apps by getting libandroid-shmem.so ; it opens a shared memory location with XServer-XSDL. ( Under the description of XServer-XSDL is a link to download it ) This ONLY works for 32 bit distros at the moment.

ie, $LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libandroid-shmem.so mplayer my_movie & would play the movie with shared memory access.

Actually, I use this setup to start up Qemu-KVM to virtualize windows.

You will have issues with OpenGL, though, because right now I haven't figured out how to access the video card hardware properly. Older Distros, before Mesa moved to llvm, will still allow you to do software rendering & I was able to get around 40-50 fps w/ the test software.

So, every OS in VM (Linux, Windows) suffers from lack of full-featured GPU drivers. In other words, every OS in VM on ZF2 stuck with software rendering.

While it can be OK for some office or other non-graphics intensive apps, you can forget about idea to run the games :(

If i guess right, this situation won't change, because no-one will able to write GPU driver.
