This works perfect. Unlocked my bootloader in seconds. No problems.

Nothing to see on this line
[ZenFone 2 General] maor23:
hello guys, i need to understand.

for unlock the bootloader i need to have a rom installed on one of the folders?(like CM on SD CARD that i need to install it after the unlock?)

and, i got the 2.20.40.97 version, so it doesnt work on my phone?
[ZenFone 2 General] A_Bunny:
No you don't need a rom on your sd card to unlock the bootloader you only need one if you want to install it though twrp later on and if your planning to do that then yes put the file on your sd card. Also the bootloader unlock should work on 2.20.40.97 but if it doesn't you could also try windorid... Just search it up or the official ASUS one though I would advice caution before trying that method.
[ZenFone 2 General] maor23:
i want install a new kernel (without a new ROM). should i install TWRP anyway?

and i found the windroid, but i first will try to do it with this Instructions

and 1 more: if i unlock it, i wont get a update from asus?
[ZenFone 2 General] A_Bunny:
It depends on how you would want to install the kernel but I would recommend to install twrp anyways because it offers more features over the default recovery such as good backups.
[ZenFone 2 General] maor23:
ok rly thank for you help.

just rly last 3 questions:

1)if i unlock my bootlader, i wont get anymore ASUS Upadtes?

2)i dont need to wipe after install TWRP right?

3) i see this Directory that i found in youtbue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goxDX_bTUFc

in the part of install the TWRP he say that i need to write something on cmd and i dont get it (3:48 min).

if i will install TWRP with windroid it will be ok or you still dont reccomend it?
[ZenFone 2 General] A_Bunny:
You're welcome.

And for the answers to your other questions:

1.) No you will no longer be able to receive updates though ota though you maybe able to flash them manually.

2.) No you don't need to wipe that's only for installing custom roms or resetting your devcie.

3.) No I wouldn't install twrp though windroid (it's mainly another method to unlock the bootloader) instead just install it using this method. Unlock bootloader, reboot into it connect it to a pc and run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img after downloading the image. (check here under untethered install but use the official image. http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/alpha-tethered-twrp-asus-zenfone-2-t3123532) if you can't get that to work however you may try windroid or the twrp app in the playstore.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ckycrewlou:
Hello, this problem all started back when I was getting Google play services wakelock and battery drain on 4.4 CM. This led me to updating to 5.1.1 lollipop CyanogenMod which I switched from because I thought it was a problem with the ROM, so now I am on 5.1.1 PAC man ROM and the problem is still persisting. Here are screenshots of my gsam battery stats and the problem only occurs the phone app is used (I receive a call or place a call) and it doesn't happen everytime for example I can sometimes place 5 calls before the app starts to show up in gsam and it makes my phone ridiculously hot. If I turn the phone off for 10 minutes and turn it back on the problem will go away but no matter what it comes back. I'm hoping you guys can help me find a legitimate fix to this problem because my 7500mah battery is dying faster than the stock one when this problem is occurring.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mufaa:
Hey guys,

I am having trouble taking good pictures with indoor lighting. The first problem is that the viewfinder (or the image on the screen) is not very smooth. It's jittery and lags and its super annoying. How can I improve the speed of the viewfinder so I can frame shots better?

I also hear that the LG has fantastic low light capability. However, with indoor lighting (fluorescent bulbs) I find the images have a lot of noise and the details appear very muddy and very oil painting-ish.

I don't have any problems during sunlight but indoors, the G4's camera is a mess. It's slow, jiterry and all round annoying to use. Any help would be appreciated!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
I haven't tried it on my G4. But on other digital cameras, I have seen the displayed preview screen image get jerky in low-light when aiming the camera around.

My theory is that, to make the image bright enough, the camera needs to take a longer preview exposure. Capturing the image for the preview screen works the same way as taking an actual picture, of course. In bright light, maybe the sensor takes a 1/500 second exposure to generate the preview. But in low light, maybe it needs a 1/5 second exposure to make the preview image bright enough to be useful on the sccreen. So now it can only take a max of 5 preview images per second, and the screen will look jerky.

The muddy details, and looking like an oil painting, are at least in part due to the image sensor's ISO value being turned way up, due to the low-light conditions. Some of it may be due to the JPG compression settings, and perhaps noise-reduction. Pictures taken with the flash should help with this, as you're providing more light, and therefore the camera can use a lower ISO value, for better image quality.

You could try taking the same picture in Auto, then in Manual mode. Turn the ISO value down in Manual mode (to maybe 200, 400, something like that), and slow the shutter speed as needed for a proper exposure. In the Gallery, you can check the Details for the picture taken in Auto, to check the ISO value that the camera used. Use a lower ISO value for the Manual mode picture, and see if the results look better. Doing this with the flash turned off should help make the difference more apparent.

You can also capture JPG + RAW in Manual mode. The RAW files do not exhibit JPG compression, or other processing, they are straight from the image sensor. So you may get less muddiness and oil-painting effect.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
mufaa, can you post any example indoor pics you've taken? That might help provide some context for what you're seeing.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
What are your requirements for the picture?

Do you have a moving subject that demands a fast shutter, or can you afford to use a slower shutter speed?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mufaa:
Well, here's one for starters. This is the only non-personal image I can share at the moment (I am at work!) but if it's not enough I will snap one tonight and post it for you.

http://i.imgur.com/5mpaT2h.jpg

Zoom into the picture and you will find details buried in blurry oil painting like smudges. This happens in bright pictures as well. Is this how the sensor on the camera is?

I usually shoot with subjects (my family, nephew, etc.) and I need the viewfinder to be fast. Because the viewfinder is so slow, subjects come out blurry even with the slighest movement. I also have to have a super steady hand.

This wasn't the case with the iPhone 6 i had. I just turned on the camera and snapped away.

Oh boy. I will try that. I have rebooted my device multiple times and the result has been the same though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iiEatTurdz:
somebodyyy doesn't know how to use manual mode for iso
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mufaa:
Any tips?

Can you share some low light/indoor pictures of yours, and what settings you used to take those pics with?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
That sample pic does not appear to have the EXIF data where we could check the ISO and shutter speed etc. that you used, can you check on your camera or source image what the settings were?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
The sample picture looks fairly normal to me. That is, it looks like ones I've taken on my G4. I believe the effect you're seeing is partially noise-reduction done by the camera processing, but I'm not 100% sure. A high ISO value will also contribute.

Now I'm wondering if maybe I misinterpreted what you meant in your original post. When you say the viewfinder is slow, do you mean just the jerky image if you move the camera around? Or that the pictures themselves come out blurry?

With only so much light available, the camera typically needs to use a longer exposure to get a bright-enough picture. A steady hand helps, as does OIS, Optical Image Stabilization. But neither of those can help if your *subject* is moving, of course.

You have 2 choices to make a moving subject sharper in low-light:

- Add more light. Use the flash if you aren't already, assuming the subject is within reach of the flash (probably around 10 feet, max). This will change the look of the picture, making it look more "harsh", but the added light should improve the image quality. With more light, the camera can use a quicker shutter speed.

- Raise the sensor's sensitivity, by using a higher ISO value. Effectively turning up the amplification, and allowing a quicker shutter speed. But as most of us have experienced, when you turn up a weak/noisy signal (car radio, etc), you observe more of the low-level background. Static, hiss, and so on. In a picture, this shows up as "noise" in the details of the image, and will typically result in pictures with more of the oil-painting look.

The lens on the G4 is f1.8, and should let in more light than the iPhone 6, at f2.2. It's certainly possible the iPhone does better noise reduction, or things along those lines. I'm not saying the G4's camera is perfect. But it shouldn't be woefully worse in low-light, anyways.

To get a comparison of how ISO affects things, try taking the same, stationary-subject picture, at maybe ISO 200, ISO 800, and ISO 2000. Then zoom in and look at the details of each picture. BTW, every camera will exhibit this behavior.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iiEatTurdz:
it has nothing to do with the cache and stuff lol they sound stupid. just play with the settings. i typically use my outdoor iso from 100-500 depending on what kind of lighting or colors are present. for indoors i set it 500+. just don't go within the thousands if there's no vivid colors or bright lights. try like 500-800 for the iso and 1-1/8 for the shutter.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mufaa:
"do you mean just the jerky image if you move the camera around? "

Yup. I hate the jerkiness but I guess there's no way to work around that other than decreasing shutter speed and increasing ISO which results in super grainy pics.

I will try the flash light and see if its any better. Usually, I dislike using flash in normally lit indoor places. It doesn't feel natural.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the cache. I will try those settings. Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoro11:
Just run into this older post.

My two cents: to avoid high iso muddiness in indoor lower light portraits, you should turn on the flash (or better, use an external led panel to create off camera light)

Indeed flash photos are unappealing, but you can improve them with Snapseed's selective editing, by lowering exposure and warming temperature on your subject faces.

You could also selectively increase exposure on one side to create a less flat picture.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgoff1995:
I am a photographer and am trying to change over to the new mobile camera trend that started years ago but I do know that with LG, since my friend has one, doesn't have a good sense of lighting, period. I am not trying to put down your device, I do not think you need a new one. A good artist can make art from anything and everything to their best of the ability with what they have. I think you should start trying to do things like opening blinds to a window, putting white sheets of paper around or maybe some gray or black sheets of paper to balance your lighting. Is it at all possible for you to share a visual load of what you're doing with the community? I think it would be valuable to have multiple sets of eyes and have many different minds working with you to solve your problem.

you can delete files from teh ext rom...

i deleted all of mine

then you can use it for storage... and or increase the page pool
[Touch GSM General] boinger66:
nothing extremely important mainly ringtone files / themes etc.

by default i try and install all extra programs to my storage card...

EDIT: i did find out that if you didnt install the files that came with the touch... there is one file ... to do with the bioscreen driver software... allows the bioscreen to work properly..
[Touch GSM General] rklosinski:
couple of questions...

1) if i delete the files in ext2_rom, and hard reset in the future, will I need the files to restore my device?

2) what is the "bioscreen" driver?
[Touch GSM General] boinger66:
yes you will...

and the bioscreen driver is for the touch functinoality to work properly

what i noticed when i didnt install those files is that

when i pressed with my finger i had to be precise... i couldnt just guesstimate the area of touch and work successfully

for example the scrolling ... i couldnt scroll properly unless i just touched the scroll bar...

hence the bioscreen driver
[Touch GSM General] rklosinski:
thank you.
[Touch GSM General] bethedealer:
so you mean if I hard reset without putting back the files in ext rom, the device is not able to restore to factory default??? that seems dangerous...
[Touch GSM General] boinger66:
no it just stops the "modification process"

that you see when you first boot up your device
[Touch GSM General] rklosinski:
by 'modification process' do you mean the process that makes it a 'touch' rather than just a wm6 device?
[Touch GSM General] pentagon1:
boinger...i can only see 5 files in the ext rom, occupying ONLY 197K wth 9.74mb free...so my question is:

1. seeing that the small space those 5 files are using, is it necessary to delete them ?

2. where are the ringtones you mentioned ?

3. by "increasing the page pool", do you mean i can move the page pool to ext rom ? and how do i go about doing that ?

4. i think you`re brillant :)
[Touch GSM General] pentagon1:
boinger....and i don`t have dopodppc-athena.cab that you said you noticed in ext rom in an earlier post....

also....haven`t tried this yet..but...if i were to install programs to ext rom....would that be alright?.....and..one last question...why so much free space in ext rom...is it intentional ? surely there must be a reason...thank you
[Touch GSM General] boinger66:
hmm in my ext_rom i have about 1 meg worth of files...

if your ext rom is occupying only 197k than i suggest leaving it

increasing or decreasing pagepool can effectively allow you to have more or less storage... there is a guide in the elf upgrading forums.. the general consensus so far is the htc touch functions best with a 4mb page pool

the ringtones i believe can be found in the ringtone.cab...

and thank you

and in response to pentagons post

it does have some other letters in front that is the end name... if you dont have it it must not be that important... i see the cabs are varying from unit to unit which is a bit odd... it could be possible that the network providers have changed the ext rom which is normal...

teh ext rom is used for storage... you dont install directly to the ext rom... but when you click device it is in essence going to the rom...

and yes the modifcation process is what makes it a touch device instead of a regular wm6
[Touch GSM General] ppc4:
boinger,

I've successfully been able to view the ext_rom on the HTC Touch and could probably delete the cab files from there because they're showing as not in ROM but they're only taking up about 200K in space so I'm going to leave them.

I can't however, write anything to the ext_rom area because it keeps saying it's write protected. I've followed all the items in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297085 for being able to write to ext_rom but nothing seems to work. Installing to "Device" still installs to internal memory and any attempt to write to ext_rom (via copying or installing) still results in the write protected error.

Any ideas on how to set the ext_rom so it can be written to?

Thx,

[Touch GSM General] boinger66:
thats for a different pda... so i wouldnt use those files unless you KNOW they would work... and i dont know if those will work...
