[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Krokogator:
Update:

So after updating to marshmallow Sammy actually fixed multitasking. I didn't use or even try these settings on android 6.x.x but they should work, if someone tried and tested them on marshmallow leave a comment (post) please :)

Hey guys so first I want to say most credits for this tutorial goes to this guy, (so you can view original thread and thank him), I'm only going to share, a bit modified version (with some values taken from Xperia Z3 build.prop), maybe better explained for some people.

So short and to the point, it's a quick fix so your phone can multitask up to around 15 apps without closing any of them(in result also increasing battery life as there's almost no need to reload apps, check video at the end of this post to see it in work). The only thing you need is root and around 15 minutes of time if you've never done anything like that. Oh and arter97 kernel is also very helpfull to keep this working as good as possible as it adds some battery and multitasking improvements as well.

So all you need:

ROOT

Custom Kernel (optional but worth it)

Any file manager that supports root (I'm using Root Browser)

First things first:

Open your root browser and navigate to system/ find and make backup of build.prop file (just copy it somewhere on your internal SD so you can always replace it with default one)

Ok now go back to system/ and open build.prop (Root Browser has built in RB text editor so use it)

First find these 4 lines:

ro.config.dha_cached_min=4
ro.config.dha_empty_min=8
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=2.363
ro.config.dha_pwhitelist_enable=1

and delete them.

Now find these lines and change values to shown below:

ro.hwui.texture_cache_size=72
ro.hwui.layer_cache_size=48
ro.hwui.path_cache_size=32
ro.hwui.shape_cache_size=4
ro.hwui.gradient_cache_size=1
ro.hwui.drop_shadow_cache_size=6
ro.hwui.r_buffer_cache_size=8
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

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=192m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.75
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=512k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=8m

Now add these lines at the end 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
sys.config.spcm_enable=true
sys.config.spcm_gcm_kill_enable=true
sys.config.spcm_db_enable=true
sys.config.spcm_db_launcher=true

Last 4 lines thanks to @kossiewossie

Now save this file and just check if permissions are the same (should be "rw-r--r--" if not, correct) and reboot.

Done!

Also check my video to see how it works (starting from 0:24):

Let me be the first one to say that this works really well. I have tried to open alot of apps that are using quite alot of RAM, and i haven't seen anyone of them reload yet while switching between them after i did this modification to my build.prop file :good:.

So far so good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] jonny68:
im not yet rooted but whenever i am this looks good, can this also be incorporated into a kernel or ROM to save having to manually do this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Krokogator:
[MENTION=2458635]jonny68[/MENTION]

Yes but it's all up to rom developer if he will include this tweak.

Works perfect ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] OneTruth:
Changed/added these tweaks to build.prop via PC. Copied it to system/ and rebooted - completely forgot to set the right permission. Was caught in bootloop but luckily I had nandroid backup. Restored system and did it again. Will test it out and report results.

EDIT: Does anyone else receive Security Notice notifications after changing build.prop with the changes provided? It says "Unauthorized actions have been detected". When I click on it, it opens Device Security and says threat found. I can restart the device to undo any unauthorized changes. When I hit restart, it boots into recovery (PhilZ is what I have). It doesn't show any changes. When I reboot, the notification pops up after a couple of mins. How can I deal with it?

Hmm I'm almost sure it's Knox. I'd try using titanium backup to freeze /delete all Knox related apps/services.

[MENTION=2458635]jonny68[/MENTION]

Maybe some already included? Don't really know bro just saying how it works. You should go and ask your current rom dev for more info.

[MENTION=3599020]Krokogator[/MENTION] it was the SecurityLogAgent giving that notification. I've frozen it with Root Uninstaller and it disappeared. Unfortunataly I can't seem to delete the preinstalled apps that were on my phone. I will try with TB in a moment.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] royisher:
I followed all your instructions but unfortunately it doesn't really seem to work on my end. When I open an app and go back into it, it still reloads it.

I double/triple checked I edited everything and added the lines accordingly.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensei22:
I will travel to the US shortly and want to buy an S5 to bring it back with me on my way home (Mexico). I think both the AT&T 'A' and the international 'M' version should cover my frequency needs ('M' has an extra band), but I would like to get some insight on which one might be a better choice in terms of Rom development and official updates (pushed out sooner). Thanks in advance to everyone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
AT&T have a locked bootloader so you can only use AT&T branded firmwares on a 900A.......

If you find yourself in an area/country that uses a different radio/modem band to AT&T, this could be a problem........

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensei22:
Thank you so much. Mexico (on my carrier) uses the same bands as in AT&T but seems like the international 'M' version might be a better choice isn't it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I would say probably so.......

I believe the AT&T's locked bootloader makes it harder to root as well, and because only carrier specific OS can be loaded, I'm sure that's had an effect on the custom rom development for the device too......

I personally would choose a device with as few restrictions as possible.....

In my P3600, but I supposed in all models, in Tom Tom screen with the satellites map, in the top-left corner where are the coordinates, below them there are two additional informations: on the left there is the degree symbol (º) and on the right the speed (km/h).

What "º" stand for? Usaullay the value it's too high to be a temperature, even for Farenheit degrees.

I looked for an explanation in both P3600 and Tom Tom instructions online, but I could not find anything. Does somebody knows the meaning of that symbol?

Hi! I dont have the unit in front of me but that is surely the degrees for the heading (which you can set from the compass settings)!

[General Questions and Answers] Kingfeming:
Im using LG G3 D855 international variant and decided to root it. With the help of a thread in xda i was able to do it. (When i use stump, it didn't work. Threw an error saying device is patched)

Then i had to set a recovery method, so downloaded the exact matching image file and tried using flashify. It was success but when it rebooted it was just blackscreen with red and blue led light. Then i removed the battery and made it to download mode then again inserted the battery and restarted it worked.

Question :

* I want to know whether my recovery process was success.

* I want to install custom rom - cloudyg3 in my device

Please help me to do above two tasks.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
Stump root only works on the original firmware, a quick read of the opposite would have told you that.

Look around the g3 forums, there is a newer method that works on anything Pryor to 5.1.

No, your recovery did not work because you don't have root. I'm surprised it even tried.
[General Questions and Answers] Kingfeming:
Thank you. I will check for it. No I have rooted my phone according to the new method. Now i can use superuser app and other root required apps.

Don't know exactly what went wrong with the recovery process

Eclipse ROM V4 "keyguardtestactivity has stopped" error post installing Nova, Apex

Hi,

I recently installed Eclipse ROM V4 [TW 4.4.4] By AC on my Note 2 and facing an issue when it come to using Launchers such Nova, Apex etc. When I install the launcher and if I reboot the phone, after the reboot process, the phone gets stuck on the lock screen and will not accept the pattern or pin lock set for the phone. The only way I can access the homescreen is by making a call from another phone and as the phone rings, an error message is displayed "keyguardtestactivity has stopped" and then I've to uninstall the launcher and return to TouchWiz launcher.

Please help as I really like this ROM and I couldn't post the query in the ROM section.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
Right now I'm running the 100% Stock ROM that doesn't have Knox and Itson. Reason why I decided to stick to Stock is because I really don't want to deal with the quirks and issues that custom ROMS bring. Plus there are sooooo many ROMs in the development section it's tough to chose one when you're a newbie.

Any particular reason why you chose that ROM over others? And do you have any issues whatsoever with it?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
I definitely want to stay away from custom ROMS. Too buggy, specifically AOSP ROMS. That's all i used before and so I'm very familiar with all their quirks and mishaps.

If i can find a custom ROM (or if you can recommend one) that has everything working (like stock ROMS do ) I'll jump ship immediately. Until then, I'll take stock and stability day.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youssef7:
Aosp are not buggy. Cyanogen is really good. I'm running nightlies.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
Definitely Hybrid. Very close to stock with minor changes, including addition of hotspot. Very stable, really no issues. Just make sure you chose Hybrid and not the Hybrid X version which is more modded. They're both in the same thread in Android Development
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youssef7:
Cyanogen mod has no bugs. Just no finger print support but that should be coming soon specially with cm13 coming down the pipe. The night builds are great you just have to activate your network within the ROM when you first start. But my phone doesn't crash no force closes or anything. Battery isn't all that bad...

Just a thought - are you using TWRP by any chance? TWRP has an option to use external OTG storage - at the top of the install window where you have the file explorer to find the package there is a bar showing "Storage: Internal Storage". and pressing it allows you to switch to external OTG.
