[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volfanoftwins:
My understanding is it is an android wear issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
Pre-req:

-Root

-some type of editor, if you are using root explorer it will have it own editor

-Decent knowledge of android file system

so in an attempt to fix this multitasking/Ram issue that is plaguing Samsung devices. I have come up with a fix for our devices (with the help of [MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION])

1. open up root explorer

2.Navigate to /system

3.open up build.prop (keep in mind the file permission of the file, after you done editing you will have to change the file permision back rw-r-r)

4. paste in the following line at the bottom of your build.prop

ro.config.fha_enable=true

ro.sys.fw.use_trim_settings=true

ro.sys.fw.empty_app_percent=50

ro.sys.fw.trim_empty_percent=100

ro.sys.fw.trim_cache_percent=100

ro.sys.fw.bservice_enable=true

ro.sys.fw.bservice_limit=5

ro.sys.fw.bservice_age=5000

ro.sys.fw.trim_enable_memory=2147483648

2147483648 is the ammount of ram in bytes. so in this case 2gig

Check for the following

ro.config.dha_cached_max=

ro.config.dha_empty_max=

ro.config.dha_th_rate=

ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=

and delete them. I dont think it would be in there since 5.1.1 utilized FHA instead of DHA

5. edit the following line

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=256m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m

dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.50

dalvik.vm.heapminfree=4m

dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=16m

ro.hwui.texture_cache_size=72

ro.hwui.layer_cache_size=48

ro.hwui.r_buffer_cache_size=8

ro.hwui.path_cache_size=32

ro.hwui.gradient_cache_size=1

ro.hwui.drop_shadow_cache_size=6

ro.hwui.text_small_cache_width=1024

ro.hwui.text_small_cache_height=1024

ro.hwui.text_large_cache_width=2048

ro.hwui.text_large_cache_height=2048

save and make sure to check permission reboot....follow up, let me know.

so far so good for me .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nihonno:
Thank you for this! I'm sure this information will spread fast.

With that said, I'm curious about something. With Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, this highly controversial issue could've been easily prevented with simple build.prop edits. But why didn't they do so? Why do you think they didn't follow through with this before launching the device? Could it be that "further" utilization of memory wouldn't have yielded them the battery life that it comes with, stock? Heck, I dunno. I'm gonna definitely try this though.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] ThC23:
That's exactly why people are saying they are doing it for. For battery life
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
IMO, the reason Samsung doesn't make these simple changes is because doing so causes the device to slow and become laggy over time. So they're killing apps very aggressively to (in theory) keep the device running smooth. Anyone coming from the S6 will know that even with Samsungs default memory settings the device can still become slow and unuseable over time. So it's a tradeoff. I persoanlly prefer the multi tasking with a reboot or two a day over killing apps and having to reload every time you switch to an app. Also @ OP, the value you set for the trim setting, 2gb or whatever. What did you find that made you come to that value?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Something is wrong if it needs to aggressively kill apps like it does to keep from lagging and needing a reboot. I mean android should be scrapping the earliest used applications from the ram as the ram is needed. Unused ram should have no affect on the system itself. You could have a badly coded app using a portion of ram but still bog the system down.

Having to restart once a day is going backwards to blackberry days when it was damn near in the manual to restart once a day.

I can see the savings in battery in regards to less cycles of the cpu when you aren't starting apps fresh everytime you want to run it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
The problem is Samsung is using DHA/FHA rather than Google's LMK. We know very little about the way Samsung is managing memory. From my observations, the device becomes slow/laggy when the swap gets full. Since Samsung is the only one still using swap that is another issue all by itself. Making swap larger than 1.4 GB does seem to extend the length of time it takes for the device to start lagging but it doesn't fix it. Getting rid of swap altogether creates a whole bunch of other issues. It's really been a nightmare trying to figure things out regarding memory management on these arm64 devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
I was googling around and find that it was implemented in other phone, and one of the number was a weird 10xxxxxxx number, so I google that number and it equates to 1gig so I take it as 1 gig of ram in bytes. Since note5 have 4 gig of ram I decided to put 2gig there, basically I'm shooting in the dark and hope that it works, so far its good, no random closure or reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
well there are many reason why they implement this way. I think its because they are trying to maximize battery life, so if a phone screen is off, it means that the user are not using it so it force the app to shut down quicker, making the cpu going into deep sleep quicker therefore save battery life. It also suppose to make the phone seems quicker because its not being bother by unused process and ram.

TBH its a good implementation, regular user wont know a difference. I feel the issue is being pressed because XDA is full of nerds and they want their phone to be equally as good as a regular Ubuntu desktop, why does one need to multitask 10-12 apps on a phone? doesn't make sense to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
Lets take a step back. Try this line by itself:

ro.config.fha_enable=true

Also, from a root shell in terminal run:

cat /proc/meminfo

Paste the output here please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
I'll try it this afternoon, at work right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
So are you saying ignore everything in the op and change/input that line instead and share results? Everyone or just the guy you are replying to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
just to me. He wanted to see if those line are actually being utilized.

try mine, I already got one positive result on the international board. its not going to hurt your Note 5 just be smart, make a copy of your build.prop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
Actually, I was saying to try the single line as I'm finding the others aren't necessary. I am also curious how big your swap partition is since you guys have 4gb RAM as opposed to our (S6) 3gb RAM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I'll give the single line a run first. Once I get home I will take the path from the op.

I used to run these back on my Note 4 but since there was a lot of questions early on in regards to if they were actually benefitting the Tmo variant I kind of let it slip to the way side..

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
Hmm. It's interesting Samsung went with the same size swap Note5 despite the device having more ram. Also, had you just reboot when you ran that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Added the line and then performed a reboot, so Yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
this is before the build.prop stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
Is anyone seeing improvements?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] BACARDILIMON:
personally i think that the guys testing this should and it should not be for the guys who dont know they way around the system well enough so they can recover with ease.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
lol I did wrote that in the pre-req
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] BACARDILIMON:
true but we all know the noobs never read till it goes bad then get made when they post help please and they get a LOL . think if u get any of those you should tell them to type how they did this and i bet ya they stop asking lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I have not made the changes from the op yet. Just the one line and the out put command we were just now discussing

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Maybe I like a more Darwinian approach to things like this but if you can't recover from screwing up your build prop then maybe you shouldnt even be rooted...? Heck most of these modifications are as simple to fix as reflashing the ROM you are using which is quicker and less evasive than restoring a nandroid (depending on how old it is).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] BACARDILIMON:
agreed. but you have also been doing this for 7 years. we was noobs once to but back then our devs taught us how to read directions and follow them fully cause back then a mess up was a brick not a softbrick. i saw in the note 4 all these guys with 8post or 20 trying things they had no mindset to try. then i would just post the link to a video of how to unbrick/unroot lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I wouldn't judge a book by its cover all the time, I have found myself explaining to senior members how to "simulate a battery pull" with a hard reset on a sealed battery phone. Something that has existed since honeycomb if not earlier.

Sorry about the OT btw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:

That extra GB is really doing the Note5 good then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
hmmm should I bump it up to 3gig and see? lol I really dont know how to interpret that...my linux is super rusty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mikeyinid:
I would personally get rid of all the lines except the one I posted and see what happens. That's the only line I've been using for over a week now and it's been good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sshafranko:
Ty for this really appreciate you and the op for effort....your one line is working great for me. I tried with 19 apps open and not 1 redraw?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DJ ELITE:
what "multitasking/Ram issue that is plaguing Samsung devices?" is there an article that elaborates on this?

why not just install something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=en by MobiWIA - AndRS Studio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
because that is doing the same thing of what stock does...the problem is the system shut down app too quickly, we are trying to do the opposite, utlizing all ram and keep app open as long as possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DJ ELITE:
oh, gotcha. that's for clarifying. :good:

hia all! I need a big help! I was following the procedure toi get the root to the stock rom. First strage thing was my usb debuggig option under developer option was gray so not selectable. I decided to proceed anyway and I've unlocked the bootloader (with the proper command I've checked and it was unlocked). hte first strange thing was that i did't get the reboot after unlocking as reported in the guide. but i've rebooted manually and then I've installed TWRP and everything was ok; then I've proceeded with installing SUper SU to get the root permission and here came the problem; after installed the zip via TWRP, during the reboot I realize I was stuck in the boot logo the rotating square/traingle and circle. PANIC. I've tried almost everything, also trying a adb sideload flash with latest oxygen but seems not working...(maybe usb debugging not enalbe is the reason for all my problems?) what went wrong? and what do I have to do now? please help!

Find an OTG cable, place the full 2.0.2 OOS rom on a USB key, go to recovery and don't forget to mount USB-OTG then flash the rom...

I have bricked my OPO several times by tweaking it^^

So I keep an usb key with rom, Xposed, Ti backup etc... and if there is a problem, just plug your key, it's easier than using fastboot commands from a computer...

I'm currently waiting for my OTG cable for OPT especially for this use.

So,

was just browsing facebook this morning when my screen suddenly changed.

The entire screen was showing like an old school negative :(

it does survive a reboot, it also shows the screen like that in recovery so i'm guessing it's hardware and not software :(

see this video: Youtube Link

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/f8hFFnh0wT4[/YOUTUBE]

is this repairable or is it a totall loss and should i go for a new one?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverquark:
It's probably a hardware issue. Pretty strange, that it takes a while before happening when booting. You can get a replacement screen with all tools needed from here. It's not that hard to repair it, but be sure to watch some videos before and take your time, if you want to do it

Hello XDA! Longtime lurker, first post.

I've got a Korean LG G3 and T-mobile service, which means LTE and 2G bands are off limits in the United States. I'm running CM12 as of a few days ago - when installing the new OS, I flashed a new radio baseband as well. It included an HSDPA band that I'd not seen before.

As a n00b, I'm confused as to where hardware becomes firmware becomes software. I've read many a post on the forum, but confusion remains. From this post it sounds as though with some patience and method, modifying my phone's firmware to include additional bands is possible but putsy.

In the case of the G3, there is a variant for each major US carrier. The T-mobile variant is the D851.

The question: can I flash the baseband radio/modem of a D851 onto my F400L and gain access to T-mobile's entire frequency set?

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be much appreciative. Thanks and cheers.

[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
Hey everybody. My 32GB Prime arrived yesterday and I'm a little underwhelmed by the screen quality. Compared to my little Jiayu G4S the screen doesn't look great, especially white. Thanks to lolo9393 I was able to read through the thread below and on about the second page there is info about how to discover who made your screen. Even though Xiaomi claimed the screen would be made by Sharp, it looks as though this is not the case for some of us. To test which version you have, open the dialer and enter *#*#6484#*#*. This will open a test app. Tap 'software version' then scroll down to where it says 'LCM'. It would appear mine is made by Tianma which explains a lot.

For those of you who haven't bought your phone yet, I would recommend asking your reseller to test your device first and see which LCD had been used. It sounds like AUO make a better looking panel (edit - or not?)

Here's how my Tianma screened Prime looks next to an Oppo Find 7a. Both are set to Max brightness. The Note 2 display is set to 'cool' in settings which is as blue as it gets. Any of the other settings make it look more yellow. The Oppo is on the left. To the naked eye the Oppo doesn't have the pink tint that you see in the photo.

*update* I thought I'd take another photo of my screen after two weeks and three different ROMs. Now I'm using the most recent multi language development ROM from 11th September. Same scenario as before, both screens are set to maz brightness, Opposed find 7a on the left. The XRN2 is set to 'cool' in settings and reading mode is off. Looks a little bit whiter than before to my eyes, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking. Either way my cheapo Jiayu G4S looks better than both. Shame the GPS doesn't work on the Jiayu!

[Redmi Note 2 General] unrealmitch:
Same here, me and a friend checked it, and both we have the Tianma screen. Both phones are 16GB version.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
That's annoying. On the one hand, I guess it's common for manufacturers to use parts from different suppliers, but the phone has to only just been launched and Xiaomi made a point of bragging about using a Sharp screen. I think it's dishonest. I don't think I can return the phone to the reseller because it's not really their fault. My Jiayu G4S was just as cheap and has a much nicer screen.
[Redmi Note 2 General] droidaem:
Uhh. :( Does it really look that bad? I have ordered a Redmi Note 2. Hope that its screen is manufactured by Sharp.
[Redmi Note 2 General] zan5hin:
For what I paid for this device, I think the Tianma screen (yes, I checked) on my device is fine. I think of this as an intermediary device as I dropped my old phone and needed one ASAP and in August this was the best thing on the market, for me it is a great intro to Xiaomi and I will wait to see what the Mi5 reviews are like when it is launched.
