Ok, I know when I am bitten but I am just no willing to quit!

(Just to reiterate - to 80's remark was meant in good fun and not intended as an insult, plus this was written late at night after a long work day)

Any way it does make sense that for high speed some graphics rendering routines will be written in assembler (note that unfortunately eVC tools do not include inline assembler so modules have to be compiled separately and then linked)

I do remember taking a peak at the DOOM port and it is mostly C. (Though I am sure it has assembler sections).

What I was trying to say is this:

a) You can't write a whole game like DOOM in assembler only in reasonable time.

b) Even assembler modules need to be eventually linked in to an executable so the OS (what ever it is) can load them - and here is the problem. Every exe has a header that states what processor and what OS it is designed for. Even if your app does not use new OS features, but is linked using a higher OS SDK settings the exe header will contain a version number unknown to the OS and it will refuse to load stating that it is "illegal file".

A less prehistoric example would be files compiled with WM 6 SDK refusing to run on WM 5 despite the fact that there is almost no difference in the OS.

dont think anybody took it any other way at least i did

what i should had said maybe rather then that they were in pure asm

then maybe that they were not that depending on the os and version of the os itselfs

and maybe of those fps like doom and nuke3d and such

are ports of old dos games where that was more the custom then later on when windows gaming took off
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoang51:
Hi all, I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 (920A) that is on CleanROM 1.1 OE2 but partly on OF3 firmware. It is running Android 5.0.2 and rooted. I modified the build.prop file to allow the on screen navigation (software) keys to be displayed, similar to Nexus 5: back, home, and app switcher keys. I would expect Android to readjust the screen resolution for the home screen to accommodate the navigation keys but the keys are just laid on top of the bottom apps area. Also, the camera screen is also not adjusted, such that the soft keys are covering some parts of the cameras' keys. Attached are three screenshots of the home screen where the soft keys aren't adjusted, the camera screen, and while in apps, such as settings, the screen area is adjusted. Anybody run into a solution to fix the home and camera screens to adjust accordingly for the soft keys?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JusTeN_:
You can change the build prop dpi value and the screen resolution with an app, but you will have to find out what values to put...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohanSjogren:
My tip is to use an alternative launcher, like Nova, for your home screen since touchwiz doesn't have native navbar support. And you can use an app called "all in one gestures" in which you can enable immersive mode and add a blacklist for apps you don't want to have immersive mode in, I.e. Nova launcher. If the UI glitch in the camera app is a deal breaker (I don't bother that much since its still fully usable) try a different camera app. Hope it helps!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoang51:
I tried this method, but unfortunately, as I found out, Samsung is horrible with their Android build where some of their apps (camera for example) depend on DPI values and not scale their apps according to resolution.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoang51:
Thanks. I believe this was the best workaround proposed somewhere I've read before. I think I'll just live with the fact that my home screen will be invaded by the navigation bar by some margin and my Samsung camera app, well I'll probably use Google's camera app soon.

I just like how Nexus 5 was set up with no home button and now it's growing on me again such that I don't use the touch keys at the bottom of the S6.

PlZ help me for call recording. I tested more than 10 Sw and all don,t record other side voice!

call recorder full 1.5.2 was ok on 4.4.2 by flashing ediaserver-update.zip and alsa-update.zip

Now on android 5 it does not work.

are there any tested software?

any way for recording both side???:(:(:(:(

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viktorlj:
You can use Skvalex Call Recorder (must be rooted). I use it for months without problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartymcfly:
The app "InCall Recorder" works great. It is non longer maintained but it still works, and for like a dollar you can activate the premium features which automatically record all calls and you can have it automatically upload to dropbox.

com.grinzone.incallrecorder is the package name in case you can't find it. It is no longer on play store and the xda page only has links to play store.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
Hi, my son's oneplus one mobile will not start up. When we press the "on" button, we see the first "1+ powered by android" screen, then the word "cyanogen" is written across the screen. This word continues to slowly blur and un-blur slightly, but the system never comes any further. (The phone is fully charged).

We can also boot to a "cyanogen recovery" screen, where there are several options - where I guess a "factory reset" could be worth a try. If we do a factory reset, is there any way to maintain installed apps, and especially "progress" in these apps?

Thanks for any help,

Peter
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
You could try to use adb to backup the data, but you wont be able to save the progress in the apps I think, some apps have their progress stored online with your google account(Clash of clans for example)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
ok, thanks (I don't know what "adb" is, but I'll google it).

Otherwise, has anyone seen this startup problem before, and are there any good solutions?

Thanks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
Hmm, seems that "adb" requires installation and/or enabling on the phone - as I can't start the phone, I don't think I can use this unfortunately.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You don't have access to adb unless it was previously enabled. Can you shed some light on what caused this situation please? It makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot. Do you know what build of Cyanogen OS was installed on the phone before this happened?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
Hi, thanks for the reply. The phone's battery run out and the phone shut down. The power supply was attached, and it was attempted to turn the phone on - but this resulted in the current state where the phone stops at the "cyanogen" screen. The phone has since been charged over night, but will still not start. As to the current OS version - we are unfortunately not sure. My son says he last performed an OS update a few weeks ago.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Ok, thanks. If you can get into the stock recovery you should try flashing the latest build from here, then reboot the phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
Thanks for the suggestion - but what do you mean with "stock recovery"? We can get to a menu with these options:

reboot system now

apply update

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe media

reboot to bootloader

power down

view recovery logs

Can we use one of these to upload a new OS to the phone?

"Apply update" gives the options:

apply from ADB (does this mean adb *is* running on the phone?)

choose from internal storage

"Reboot to bootloader" results in a screen where it says "fastboot mode", but gets no further than this screen.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
That's the stock recovery. The "apply from adb' option is present whether you have adb enabled or not, so that's a no-go. I've just realised that you won't be able to use the recovery to flash the zip anyway, because there's no way to transfer the zip to the device without adb.. I think your only option will be to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock images with fastboot. Unfortunately this will erase all data on the phone, but right now you don't really have any other option. So what you'll need to do is this:

1. Install adb/fastboot onto your PC, the 15 seconds adb installer is probably the easiest option for this.

2. Use the reboot to bootloader option in recovery to put the phone in fastboot mode.

3. Navigate to where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located on your PC, hold shift and right-click, then select open command prompt here.

4. Make sure your phone is connected to the PC via usb cable and (in the terminal window that popped up after the previous step) issue this command:

fastboot devices

It should return the serial number of the device, if it does you have a working fastboot connection. If it doesn't return the serial number you might have to play around with drivers.

5. Once you know you've confirmed that you have a working fastboot connection you can check the status of the bootloader with this command:

fastboot oem device-info

There will be a few lines of text. One of the lines will be 'bootloader unlocked: true/false". If it says true you can move on to step 6, if it says false you will need to unlock it with step 5a.

5a. Unlock the bootloader with this command:

fastboot oem unlock

The phone will automatically go through the unlock process, and will probably try to boot into the OS. Get back into fastboot mode by using the option in recovery, or by shutting the device off by holding the power button and then using the fastboot mode button combo (hold power + volume up).

6. Once you know you have an unlocked bootloader you can now flash the stock images to the device:

Hopefully the phone will boot up now.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzgor:
Thanks heaps for the info. My son has now re-established his telephone - though he lost all his data/progress/photos etc.. Is there a recommended backup mechanism for the OnePlus One? (Maybe he can run a backup application on his PC once a week which takes a snapshot of his phone?)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The best way is by creating a backup with TWRP recovery. You'll find instructions on how to flash it (and how to make a backup) in my guide thread:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Ruvey:
Hi all,

I want to build an application for smartphones that will require a server to store all user's data. I know that companies like Facebook make use of giant server rooms but how does a normal average Joe save data of about 100 terabytes? I still need to develop the app and then only launch it with no source of income generated by the app for a long time, so to build giant server rooms cost a lot in the first place and then to maintain them with electricity and cooling also cost a lot, so how does one go about to launch an app that could potentially become pretty big but don't have the funds to store the data used by the app? I can start off by using let's say 5 terabytes, but then when it gets overloaded I will have to shut it down for above mentioned reasons?:eek:

Thanx

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in awhile, and decided to upgrade from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1.

Device is:

Verizon Galaxy S4

MDK / Loki

TWRO 2.8.7.0

was on 4.4.4

I used the FlashFire upgrade method, because I wanted to have that upgrade modem, baseband etc. everything I needed.

Prior to root, I upgraded my TWRP, I did a TWRP backup.

I downloaded Odexed 5.0.1 stock update from the thread, and followed the instructions, it installed but on final reboot, it just got stuck at the Samsung / Custom screen. When I went to boot into recovery, it's now the stock system recovery LRX22c.I545VRUG0C1

Gives an error on the bottom as

#MANUAL MODE#
Appling Multi-CSC
Applied The CSC-code: VZW
remove failed file /system/csc_contents/ (read only file system)

If I try to apply update via external storage, using stock update I get:

footer is wrong
signature verification failed

Anyway I can flash TWRP via adb, then just re-flash the rom with loki manually? Or anyway without having to use odin and downgrade? I won't lose loki root will I? What do I do? Thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
well I'm trying to flash back to MDK via odin, and I keep getting aboot.img failure.. i'm really at a loss here, I can't even odin back to MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
What instructions did you use? SS and FF were made specifically for locked bootloaders so they require a different instructions for flashing. You basically ignored the benefits of being on MDK by doing whatever you did. Doesn't sound like you're on MDK anymore and I need more details to help. Someone else might be able to help you.

If all you wanted was the OC1 modem, could have just flashed it from here. People have reported issues with TWRP versions above 2.8.4.0-jfltexx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
The tutorial said for mdk, I followed it exactly and it didn't work. I then ****ed up by flashing lollipop through stock recovery so it flashed the new baseband, and I removed loki. That's my bad, however I did follow the instructions and it didn't work. I should have just flashed 5.1 manually. Oh well. Is there safestrap for lollipop, or a way to downgrade to me7 to use safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
SS isn't compatible with Lollipop. Recommend switching to FF, apparently it can flash Stang's ROM on stock OC1. Still need root. Or look into MultiSystem but I'm not knowledgeable with them but hear of success with them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
You can use king root to get root, then search for instructions to swap to supersu. From here should be able to install FF.

Good luck.

Follow This .

Hello ,Sir ,

It can fix very easy way,

there is 2 mathod one is permanent and one is temporary.

For permanent you need to Fix DRK (Dev Root Key )

FOr temporary flash ap and bl part only using odin 3.10.7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lexjay:
can't fully understand

thank you for fast reply, I don't know what Dev Root Key

ap and bl part from official firmware on sammobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jayshaa:
You need to make them or download

Hello You need to make them into 4 part BL,AP,CP,CSC

Flash only AP and BL,

Your Phone will work fine,

And for permanent fix you must have uart cable and uart interface,

if you need fix only fingerprint , super easy way flash full firmware than Flash Unikernel V8-002 ,

If will solve your finger print problem,

but some feather maybe not work... like private mode and many...

better fix it permanent ,

i will guide you fully just send me a message on skype- jay.sha507
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmc302005:
You guys should be using Emergency Recovery in Smart Switch. It goes by serial number so it restores everything specific to that phone. Messing with sboot and efs just screws everything up all the time. There are tools to recover your phones. You should really learn to use these tools correctly before you start flashing things. Phones cost almost $1000 these days and people just frivolously flash whatever they want not fully understanding or reading everything.

I have a post how to do Emergency Recovery here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jayshaa:
If DRK Damaged will not work whatever you use even Samsung can not fix it they replace motherboard.....

the solution only is FIX DEV ROOT KEY only
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmc302005:
But the problem started from them flashing stuff before using the tools correctly. sboot and efs are things that should only be messed with by people that really know what they are doing.

Correct

Yes Sir,

also this can fix only or UART serial cable....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmc302005:
Ok cool so we are on the same page. People are to anxious to flash stuff. When I first started I made sure I knew how to get my phone back to normal before I even tried flashing anything. Then I read an entire thread before I even tried a flash so I could see what problems arose from other peoples experiences. Learn then have fun is the key.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Very well put, you see it all the time, people start flashing without reading and then start panicking.

I have posted before, this is not your typical Samsung device that we were used to before lollipop with all kinds of developers all over the place.

Currently I don't think anybody is making any kind of headway in the development section and that would throw up all kinds of flags for me if I was looking for anything as simple as root.

At the present my phone remains stock because of all the reading I have done, and the best part is everything works the way it's supposed to with exceptional battery life.

Hello Sir, you are verify it easy by go to recovery mode if you see DM verity verification failed,

thats means DRK is damaged sure

so if you flash unikernel V8-002 after flash latest DOJ7 Stock ROM, If will work not give you problem even Finger Print Sensor

Its 100% tested way to fix this issue .

But for permanent fix you need to repair Dev Root Key....

I can help if you have UART SERIAL Cable ,,

But its to much screwed so better use android pay.. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmc302005:
That is the smart thing to do if you are unsure. It is totally possible to root and develop on this phone if you don't care about knox. Knox only affects Samsung Pay and people who are required by their job to have a secure phone. For us normal Joes knox has no use what so ever.

---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Exactly., You hit the nail on the head. As far as knox, some manufactures can fix a knox trip with software. Other manufacturers made it so when knox trips it trips a circuit on the phone's motherboard that can't be fixed without replacing the board. I personally don't know which way Samsung went. Nor do I care though. I don't need knox for my job or for Samsung Pay. It is starting to get to the point where you need 2 phones though. One for everyday use and one for development.
