[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phenoxis:
App to detect CPU quality and bin

Hi guys,

I would like to let you know that we've developed an app that should help identify CPU bin differences.

The app will inform you of your CPU bin if your device is rooted, otherwise, it runs a 'benchmark' to detect how good/bad your CPU is relative to other user's devices.

On older SoCs, like the Snapdragon 800, it was straightforward to determine the quality of the CPU from the CPU bin number. This is no longer the case with SoCs containing heterogeneous cores such as the Nexus 6P. Newer SoCs use AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) rather than PVS (Passive Voltage Scaling) and thus, the voltages are determined by the device at runtime. To the best of our knowledge, there is no longer a simple CPU bin number that tells you how good or bad your chip is. Even if you did get hold of a CPU bin number, is a higher bin number really better? (dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3032982)

Today, we're left with trying to determine the quality of our devices by running benchmarks and comparing the scores obtained. One of the biggest problems with benchmarks is that they don't account for temperature; both CPU and ambient. A good CPU running at room temperature can never match up to a bad CPU running inside, say, a refrigerator. Thus, benchmark results are skewed in favor of those that ran at lower ambient temperatures. Often, in benchmarks like Antutu, we're left with the scores of our device and the scores of the top 50 devices overall; a list in which our device model may not even make an appearance.

Our app is designed to account for both CPU temperature and ambient temperature. Comparisons between the results of your phone and others of the same make & model are further filtered based on temperature.

In other words, if you ran an experiment in a very cold environment, your results are compared against other iterations that ran under similar conditions.

We've had good success in identifying the quality of CPUs on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6. We're trying to get the word out and collect data from a larger set of devices. Do note that the app is experimental and may have a few bugs. However, I'm actively working on improving it to providing better and more accurate results. Our end goal is to be able to allow users to run our app and get to know the quality of their smartphone before they buy it.

The app is available for Android on the PlayStore at:

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfick3:
As the title says, I was wondering if Oneplus will release all the source and if the bootloader will be able to be unlocked like the One? Or will this one be locked down?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
1. About sources, they still haven't released full sources for the O+2 yet, but Carl Pei seems to be looking into it.

2. All Android devices must ship with a locked bootloader to pass Google's security certification. But, unlike most bootloaders on devices sold by Verizon and AT&T, it will be unlockable.

I expect it to be developer friendly.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biron_w:
If this phone uses fastboot again then unlocking the bootloader should be fairly easy.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Yep it will be easily modified.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olly2009:
I own a OnePlus x (bought in Paris yesterday).

If you enable developer options on OnePlusX, there is a toggle OEM unlocking with the following caption: allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Ooh tell us more about the X. How do you like it? Is the design really as good as it is in the pics?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
Do it! Do it! Do it! :D

BTW, I created a thread for you here. ;)
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olly2009:
Yes it was for sale in one shop for 3 days (200 units per day) from 2nd to 4th of November. Was a 5 minutes process !

I will post a feedback after the week-end. So far good impressions.

I won't attempt any modification until there is a proven process to change recovery and install root.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cesararduino:
So I'm currently thinking about buying the Xiaomi mi4c with 3GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage. I will be buying from ibuygou.com, with a tempered glass screen protector. It will ship with DHL and will have shipping and duty insurance. In total, it's about 315 U.S dollars.

Anyways, since buying through third party websites is always a risk, I wanted to see if anyone from the U.S has bought a xiaomi mi4c from any third party website and how smooth the whole process was.

Some questions to answer that'd be helpful are:

1) Did you have any trouble with customs and if so, how much did you have to pay?

2)If you paid for customs duty, did you receive the phone first or was the phone retained until you paid?

3)Did the phone come without any damages or problems?

4)How long did it take for you phone to arrive?

(Would really help if people that bought from ibuygou.com also participated in this thread)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Karly Johnston:
I got my 3GB from gearbest for $269. You don't have to pay customs duty unless it is inspected which is like 1/100.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
I'm planning to buy the s6 edge this month and I was initially decided to get the gold version. I usually don't like the gold color on phones but this one on the edge isn't very pronounced and in different light situations it looks silverish. A gold device with a clear UAG case looks amazing imo.

The problem is, here in Romania, the gold version is ridiculously exepensive compared to the other models. The difference is almost 150 euro.

So I turned my eyes to the green model. I think it looks spectacular, but I'm personally not a big fan of green in general. I've never seen it in real life, only in videos, and I just find it kinda awkward.

Does any one own a green phone and have some impressions? I would prefer opinions from male members. I can totally picture a girl with it, but I guess that's what I find awkward about it, I think it looks kinda girly.

If anyone has a clear UAG case I would love to see some pics.

[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
Just an FYI thread if you're like me and waiting to see the device in person but haven't been able to.

Best Buy has been out of stock everywhere for a while.

Looks like they finally got new stock this weekend!

Every single store in my city has local stock now.

Gonna go finally check one of these out today in person! :good:
[X Style (Pure) General] pinoymutt:
Do they carry any accessories or just the phone itself?
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
My store had just the phone only AFAIK.

They didn't even have a floor display set up yet and refused to let me open a box to check it out before buying.

Now that stock has been in for a few days, some stores will probably setup a demo model. Not sure I'd hold out hope for accessories just yet other than screen protector and generic case (if you're lucky)?

I'm coming from a long line of Galaxy phones including Note 3 and Note 4.

I'm totally loving the Moto X Pure so far, aside from the volume button placement which my fingers are having a hard time with.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radavi98:
Just got my unlocked Nexus 6 and am so looking forward to getting root back. My Samsung note 3 bricked and was a normal user and missed my apps. So I read up and downloaded Nexus tool kit and was able to unlock without issue. I can not unencrypt or root. Tried most of the day to no avail. It looks like it just hangs waiting to reboot but never does. I tried command line and get error on trying to write using the cf-root method. In user mode, I could not copy files from the pc. Is this cause of the encryption? I am using a windows 10 laptop, will try win 7 once I get it built. Any advice??

I tried root and root with custom recovery but the phone only boots to the OS. At some point am I supposed to boot into recovery? Is the boot/reboot process supposed to be automatic?

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Rolandgaros:
Anyone wanting good quality sports streams, try wss. It is very reliable and good quality compared to most addons on kodi and mobdro.

It may occasionally freeze but rarely buffers. There is a premium subscription version but I have not tried it.

The main this to watch is to get the genuine apk file, there are a lot of fakes that force other crap on you. Go to doctor-dance for the apk.

It requires MX Player to run and also needs a mouse.

I use Wukong which has the advantage of having MX player in its limited sideloader.

The mouse is only required to get started, I've move cursor into view and click (I'd tap) and then normal remote is fine to navigate and select.

Do not use the return button on control, navigate to back buttons.

Exception, when channel first selected an ad often comes first, return button will take you back usually to blank screen, then hit select and it plays.

Tip- if loading circle appears for more than a couple of seconds it is probably down, nav back and select back up server.

Like most things servers are down occasionally but that's life.
[Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
As you know, root has been achieved on this device. Now, let's move on to recovery. The recovery.img is a lot like the boot.img, in the way that you can boot from it. In theory, if we make a 3e recovery.bin for this device (TWRP/CWM), and we boot from it, we will be able to install any rom. Let's let the Recovery.bin development start!

THIS DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT FLASHING RECOVERIES. YOU HAVE TO BOOT FROM THEM IN FASTBOOT.​

This device now has 2 custom recoveries, those 2 being TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and CM (CyanogenMod) Recovery. CyanogenMod recovery is much like the stock recovery, with the only difference being that CM Recovery can install files that don't have the Amazon ZIP Signature. TWRP, on the other hand, has a touchscreen display, and is much more user friendly than CM Recovery. The links to both are here:

CM Recovery

TWRP

You can do many things in a Custom Recovery, such as:

Install custom ROMs (Found here)

Install modifications to your current OS (XPosed Framework, Root, etc.)

Install GAPPS (Google Applications, including Play Store and Play Services)

Wipe your current ROM

Backup your current ROM

Restore a backup of a previous ROM

If you have any questions, ask them here.

Now, press the thank button here and thank the developers that made these recoveries and ROMs possible, and you are good to go.

Good Luck!
