How do I get the key for that version of the app?? Every other version is free but it tells me I need a key for 6.0/6.1 apktool. Also I'm having a recompile error with ApkTOOl 5.2 it is unable to execute the aapt files I guess. I've tried aaptnew aapt5.1 aapt4.4 and aapt5.0 none of them work. But decompiling does work. In order to get decompile to work though I had to go online and download IBotPeaches apktool_2.1.1.jar and replace apktool_2.0.0.jar with it to decompile. I'm on my Note 5 running the first release of Marshmallow.

Nvm, got a working copy of 6.0.6. Thanks for the link!!!!!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Great. Let me know... For some reason 6.05 works better for me than 6.06 or 6.10.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Bump for op update...

Just found this - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686015

Uses apktool 2.2 jar, and no startup wait time, and twice as fast as other one...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
you don't need root to change the dpi and the resolution.

enable usb debugging and adb the following:

adb shell wm density 480

adb shell wm size 1080x1920

adb reboot

if you want to revert back:

adb shell wm size reset

adb shell wm density reset

adb reboot

the changes persist after reboot.

I am using it like that for some time. Everything is much faster. Even the browsing..

the only 2 bugs I noticed is the Samsung keyboard (i switched to swiftkey) and the action memo (c'mon Samsung devs, code properly..)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
You're right, you don't necessarily need this tool. All it does is simplify the process. And you should really be able to use adb commands to fix your phone when you mess it up. But NOMone's tool comes in very handy when you're away from your pc and need to switch resolutions quickly. In my case, it's when I want to use the camera: the UI is messed up at 1080p and I haven't found a way to fix it yet, except switch back to QHD. Or the other way round: if you want to play a demanding game on the train at lower resolution, but go back to QHD again.

I'm using 1080p resolution permanently now, because I get a smoother UI, a cooler phone, better battery life, and much better performance. I hope they don't give us 5" UHD screens next... :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
Could you please explain what is wrong with the camera on 1080p 480dpi? I am using these settings and have 0 problems with the camera. Just curious.. If possible please attach a screen shot. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
The UI is messed. I can't see most of the buttons, and can't take a photo, see attached screenshot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
Using my method and my values, it is absolutely fine for me. Do you restart after changing the resolution and the dpi?

I am on UK BTU 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
I even wiped /cache and /dalvik. Strange. My device is a Snapdragon N910F. Is yours an Exynos N910C perhaps? If not, would you mind sending me your camera apk for testing?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
very strange indeed. My device is n910f as well. Not rooted and fully stock. I used the Debloater app to disable all unused apps (works via adb) and the method descried in my other post to change the resolution and dpi. The camera is working absolutely fine i.e. no visual changes or glitches. As I am not rooted I am not sure if I can give you the camera apk. It is basically the same apk as in the stock 5.1.1 BTU rom. Try my method on the stock rom with my values and I am sure it will work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medo sator:
Cool
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Well, I went ahead and downloaded _alexndr's COI3 stock debloated rom base (Deodexed), extracted SamsungCamera3.apk, replaced the one in my /system/app dir, set permissions, rebooted, and everything's working fine now. :good:

No idea what the Emotroid guys did to the camera app. :p

I've attached the apk to this post in case anyone else is having this issue.

Man, I've been playing XCOM:EW at 720p, and my phone didn't get warmer than 59°C, even after 2+ hours. And the performance boost is just so incredible... Turns out I don't even mind the 720p resolution in 3D games, it didn't bother me at all. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domsch1988:
Just a warning:

I just managed to render my phone useless with this. After changing resolution and DPI, the phone did a soft reboot (as it should), startet booting, then, after the initialisation of systemUI reboots. Has been Bootlooping the past hour. ADB doesn't work, as reboot it's unauthorised and boot loop doesn't allow for any authorisation. Tried resetting via build.prop and userinit.sh. Even Direct Script Injection into init.rc didn't work.

Cache wipe -> no chance

System wipe and reflash -> Nope

In the End i ended up factory resetting and reflashing complete rom. This did work. Not to rant or anything, just a little story for those that are not capable to troubleshoot problems: This might screw your Installation!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Hence the warning at the beginning of the thread. ;)

But seriously: which method did you use? The NOMone app or the adb commands? Because only the adb command needs a reboot to take effect, NOMone does

not

reboot: it changes the resolution on the fly, then waits 10 seconds for confirmation and switches back to default resolution otherwise.

It's impossible to tell what went wrong in your case, might have been anything from a bad adb command to a malfunction of the app or your rom. I guess if you enter bad values, both methods might break your SystemUI. I managed to do so by using Automate to activate the shell commands on app launch (no bootloop, though, only permanent FC of SystemUI), but I was able to fix it with adb easily.

It's a shame it didn't work for you, most people who are using this method are very happy with it. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boody hegan:
THANKS !

dooes this improve battery as well /

gonna try this :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Yes, it does, at least a bit. The screen does still burn a lot of juice because it's so big and bright, but the cpu stays much cooler. Less heat=less power consumption. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boody hegan:
Thanks alot , i'm on simplrom v5c and googy max kernel v2

can this still work ..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domsch1988:
It was completely my fault. I knew what i was getting into, so no problem. It's just that, the "mistakes" i did could easily be done by accident by some less experienced users.

First off, i'm on CM12. NOMones Sollution doesn't seem to work there. CM does a "Hot Reboot" to reload the system UI. No matter what you set in NOMones app, the resolution doesn't change. DPI does though. This seems to be a CM related issue. Maybe they hardcode the resolution at build time...

After that i tried another app, which had the Orientation labeled backwards. So it set 1920x1080 landscape instead of portrait. After that the Phone Bootlooped the System UI. It would always boot up to the PIN Enter Screen and then reboot.

As said, no big Problem. I knew what to do and was able to bring my phone back to working state. Just make sure that you are 100% sure about the numbers you put into such apps and keep in mind that even with such "small" changes you should always have a up to date Backup of everything.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
It should, unless SimplROM is CM12-based. NOMone Resolution Changer, as well as similar apps and the adb method, aren't limited to specific devices. In theory, they may all work on all Android phones. You'll have to try it out yourself, just make a backup before you do so!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Right, thanks for clarification. I don't remember the hot reboot in CM12, but I know the resolution switch didn't work when I tried it on my Note 2 some time ago. Funny that for once Touchwiz is more customizable than CM. ;)

If you're still interested, but hate the Samsung colour scheme (like me), you can try out Emotion Revolution ROM r10.1. It's based on the latest COI3 TW firmware, but they themed the notifcation/status bar and toggles to somewhat more like stock Android, see attached screenshot. Looks pretty sleek, performance is easily on par with CM12, and the Emotion kernel has tons of great tweaking options. Or you can go for their Port Note 5 r2.1 ROM, also based on COI3, which should offer full Theme Store support. That's the one I'll flash next. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domsch1988:
Nah, TW is no option... I choose CM because of the straight forward no bllsht Apps approach. Plus Nightly builds via OTA... In no possible way am i going back to TW :eek:

AnTuTu Benchmark @ 1080p, performance governor, stock cpu frequency (2.65 GHz): :highfive:

(OK, cpu was also very cool when benchmark started, 28°C).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
glad it worked for you man. By the way that is way I am no longer using custom roms.. You can always expect weird things happening to your phone (sometimes at the worst possible time).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
You mean like, when you're using the phone as car navigation, and when you're in the middle of nowhere, it shuts down suddenly and enters a bootloop, like my old Note 2 once did? :eek:

That's why I always have a clean rom stored on my extSd. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicstg2:
tried this on nameless v2.1 and cant get it to work all the icons are off centered and cant use the keyboard etc
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
If the icons are messed up, you've probably entered a wrong dpi value. Also, you could try to reboot. Things like SystemUI adjust after a reboot. If the keyboard won't scale down, install SwiftKey.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicstg2:
I entered the dpi in the picture and done the reboot didn't work :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Mhmh... are you using the stock launcher? Just a shot in the dark, but maybe it doesn't support multi dpi? If so, try Nova launcher. It's way better anyway and definitely works.

If all that fails, you can still switch the resolution for gaming, and reset to default afterwards.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominicstg2:
thanks i will give it ago :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
:) very close actually.. however I was driving to the airport and had no time for reflashing etc.. so no more custom roms and rooting for me. The risk of unexpected issies does not justify the potential benefits. I am not expecting to convince anyone to stop installing custom roms and rooting.. just saying my experience.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.4_ts@yahoo.com:
Everything is fine except the camera, a lot of keys are missing and i dont have xposed / app settings to change the dpi.. Any suggestions for alternative camera which is close to stock one?.. I installed experia z3 keyboard which fits perfect with 1080p resolution.. All else perfect
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Check my post on the first page. I've attached the stock 5.1.1 camera apk there. Backup your camera, then replace the apk in /system/app/SamsungCamera3, set the right permissions (-rw-r--r--), and change owner and group to root. Reboot, and it should work.

I had the same issue on Emotion Revolution r10.1. Seems they did something to the apk. I also tried SimplRom yesterday, but it was even worse, the dialer also refused to scale down. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.4_ts@yahoo.com:
What rom is best for it? I have sm-n910c... I will be willing to try...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
If your rom is working fine, you can simply try it out. If the ui or other apps gets messed up, you can still revert the changes and look for another rom. I'm on N910F, so I'm afraid I can't give you a good suggestion. But as a rule of thumb, the more stock the better. ;)

After several weeks with different custom ROMs (Emotion Revolution r8, r10.1, Note 5 port 2.1, LenchMOB v7, SimplRom), I've finally flashed the latest stock rom (COJ3) for my phone, or rather a deodexed stock base, and flashed only some of the removed bloatware, and a custom kernel (Emotion kernel). Everything's running fine and rock stable this way. Add Xposed and a little theming to get rid of the ugly Touchwiz colours, and you're good to go. :good:

Just want to share the results of the full set of GFXBench's onscreen gpu tests. I ran them in 720p, and the results are awesome. Just compare these figures the stock Note 4 in GFXBench...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digipro:
I use an app called screen shift and that changes screen resolution and dpi per app to run the old tomtom. Tried setting resolution before with other apps but always messed up other screen menus when using phon.. This new screent shift app which I am trying out works great set tomtom to run at 1080x1910 and it runs a dream, I am using cm12.1 so there must be incompatible with nomone and cm12.1.

Thanks

Steve
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelasarg:
Interesting, thanks for the info. I can't use Screen Shift at its current state, because it resets the screen to default (i.e. 1440p), and I want to keep my phone running at 1080p permanently. But the basic concept is great. Atm, I'm not even using any resolution changer apps at all, but only two adb scripts placed as shortcuts on my desktop (720p and 1080p) for a quick resolution change. :)

2 days ago i had my cingular 8125 plugged into a charger . when i woke up it was off and dead, still plugged in?

now when i plug it in (to the stock charger) the red light comes on, but if i take the battery out, it stays on. if the battery is in, it is on. but i cant turn it on. ive left it for 15 hours now, and still nothing

even tried another battery.

when i first put the other battery in it turned on, was booting, but then died. probably cuz the battery was dead. but i had it plugged in as soon as i turned it on.

now the same thing happens.

any ideas?

i also thought i smelled something burnt. like if you have ever had a laptop that had a bad a/c connector and would heat up a bit, or even smoke!

dont know if it was my imagination or what?

thanks in advance

T mobile MDA shows RED LED

that is strange that you post this today, because I just received T-mobile MDA unit from 3bay that has a similar problem.

-The phone does not turn on when I press the power button.

-It does not respond to a soft reset or a hard reset.

-With the battery in, I connect the AC charger to the phone and for about 1-3 seconds the charging LED color is RED. THe LED turns off and I can not get the same result if I reconnect the AC charger.

The only visible sign of life this MDA unit has is:

-with the battery out and the AC charger connected, when the USB is removed to the point where it is not connected to the MDA, the charging LED light flashes red for a split second and the screen flashes white for a split second as well. [I hope this is a sign that there's still life in this MDA, but i'm thinking my unit is truly a brick..]

From all the websites I've searched, this does not seem to be an issue, although for me it is a scary one! :( Anybody that can help would be much appreciated because I want a working MDA not a dead one :(

EDIT: It turns out my non-booting MDA was due to a faulty vibrator and flashlight MDA part. After removing these two pieces that are connected to the back cover of the MDA housing, the MDA booted up with no problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mr nick:
I'm in exactly the same position - left phone on charge overnight two days ago and in the morning it was completely dead. I have managed to get it to power on for about 2-3 seconds on one or two occasions but now it won't do a thing :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rest2137:
Not sure if this will help, but have you tried to push that soft reset button that you have to to push with your stylus when it is plugged in?

Sounds stupid, but my power button is completely dead and I thats how I have to start mine up. I also have to pop out the SD card to get the screen to come out of sleep mode!

I might not work, but hey...worth a try.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mr nick:
Well, I eventually got back up and running. Turns out the battery was completely dead. I used the 9v battery trick and then used my USB charger to get the battery fully charged and all is well.

This leads me to query how do I now charge my phone when I don't have access to a PC? I was using a standard AC wall charger and the phone showed that it was charging but due to the fact that the display stays lit whilst on external power, this eventually killed the battery as the charge indicator appeared to be false.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DamnageD:
*as posted verbatim in another thread*

WHAT IS THIS 9 VOLT TRICK YOU SPEAK OF?!?

funny...i'm having the same problem with 2, what were perfectly fine, wizards.

which is what brought me to this forum post.

These two devices were turned off and sat in my desk for months as they were not needed. They were perfectly good, successfully unlocked and upgraded from the advice/steps/tools provided here (thanks!). They were my primary personal and work devices until i was given the option to try a few iPAQs.

Now that I want to go back NEITHER device will boot. On the original chargers (both wall and usb) both devices will display the red light as shown in the pic above, will not boot normally, or via the 2 or 3 button methods common for these devices. The batteries do not get warm, which tells me that they are not getting current...which makes NO sense if i'm using 4 different stock charging options (2 wall and 2 usb) in different locations. One expect some variable would work to eliminate some oddity, but nothing is working.

something odd is going here. how can 2 perfectly good devices and charges suddenly crapout? I could really believe it's the battery, but one is grand spankin new (only used for a month)! Both have the main board die? Both not recognizable on any computer?

Is it possible that the backup battery is causing this? Can it me charged same as the standard if its drained? I know i'm grasping at straws here, but this odd a coincidence.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DamnageD:
FOUND FIX

okay..this was too simple.

for some reason the USB will not provide enough"juice" to pop these out of their sleep.

I have been using this great little charging system made by good old Radio Shack that is a single plug with different adapters for all different devices...i've been using it for my iPAQ's, Blackjacks, BB's, ect. SO as a last resort i went and got the CORRECT adapter (as there are many mini usb adapters available) and SHAZAM!!! they boot right up!

don't ask me why the stock wall chargers will not work, but these RS iGo systems are the trick!

i'm going to link to the other similar issue in hopes any other folks having the same issue can benefit from this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
There is more to life than custom ROM's.

That said, many of the apps that require root have alternatives for people without root.

For example, Adaway requires root, while AdBlockPlus works without root.

They perform the same functionality, just with different permissions.

The only reason I am not yet ready to give up root is Viper4Android is the best app for tweaking audio,

and without root it is impossible to remove crapware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dr0mar:
There is another reason for actually. .. it is adding arabic language to the system and the only way is by using root permissions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TyNote3Krill:
You can flash a ROM without root. You just need a PC and software that bypasses the locked bootloader so you can flash the custom ROM onto your device. I recommend the SP Flash Tool for Windows if you don't want to root your phone and still run a custom ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
SAD. like I said earlier, it is still impossible to install a custom ROM without root.

If you really need root, you could try looking on Swappa for one that either has root or has an early enough build date to obtain root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] the818studios:
I have the same Build: G925VVRU4BOG7 and have been looking for root options for months now. I just received access to Samsung Pay which I'm pretty excited to check out (and I heard can be lost if you trip KNOX), but I still would like root as this is the only phone I've owned which can't be rooted.

Additionally, I JUST received a software update notification... I'm user what to do. If I update, maybe someone will figure out a way to root the new version. However, if I do update and then someone finds a root method for G925VVRU4BOG7, I will probably shoot myself in the kneecap lol.

Does anyone have any suggestions for accepting the software update? Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
if I were in your shoes I would take the update. there is no clue when or even if root will ever be achieved on 5.1 for the Verizon variants
