[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] phoenixbennu:
Macbooks are no more durable that any other laptop, they just market it that way. Apple could make people think they are the shiniest most awesome thing on the planet. Hence why they call it the reality distortion field. We also cannot judge a hinge or other part of a product based solely on looks. Who knows, that hinge may outlast every other component.

I also cannot think that comparing a non touchscreen macbook to a surface pro and thinking they are equivalent is really all that equal. You are taking out a couple of the most expensive components. The touch screen and the digitizer, not to mention the pen. Thats like saying "My motorcycle cost less than my car, and its just a couple of wheels difference.".

There is also a need to consider other components, such as the dedicate gpu, the possibility of a quad i7, the rear facing camera, the fact that it can detach and be used as a tablet, The fact that it has higher resolution than the mbp, etc.

Overall, I would say the price difference is just fine. Though, in my opinion they are both overpriced. Apple is always notorious for making high margins on their products. The surface series is also notorious for being high cost. Price is definitely going to be the biggest 'con' to the device.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] bradleysmith:
You're right about comparing the two devices, but it seems that Microsoft do consider the Apple laptops to be a competitor.

Everyone's experience is different but my 2009 Macbook Air still looks and feels new. I've never been able to say that about any other manufacturer's laptops. I thing the Macbook hardware really is top notch (sadly with a price to match!)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
If you don't Game, and as a result don't require heavy duty hardware, then a Macbook will last you about 10-15 years. That's the good part of OS X, it doesn't clutter anywhere near as much as Windows does.

But if you play games (like me) the situation becomes slightly different. (You can't play real Games on a Macbook without running Windows in bootcamp anyway). They just don't run very well on 2 year old hardware, let alone 5. :(

I'd want to play Dragon Age Inquisition on the tablet, for instance. Today I'm doing it through Splashtop, but that just streams my desktop (it does add controls though). But running the game on an IntelHD? I tried that when the Optimus driver didn't support the game yet. (My Laptop has Nvidia Optimus, so without driver support everything runs on my IntelHD 5000 instead of my GT740M.) The result was, well... terrible. Even the main menu ran at 2fps. :silly:

But the whole issue about videocards is a moot point when the competition is Apple, because Apple always uses IntelHD videocards anyway. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] bradleysmith:
I game on a desktop. Gaming laptop is an oxymoron ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
No, it really isn't. :laugh:

Intel i7 - 3630QM 3.4GHz, 6M Cache

12GB DDR 5 RAM

Nvidia Geforce GT 740M 4GB VRAM

1.5TB 7200RPM (I have no use for an SSD, far too small)

17.3" 1080p Matte LED, LEDbacklit keyboard.

You can game perfectly fine on that. Skyrim runs with 253 mods including HD mods on Ultra at a steady 60fps. Dragon Age Inquisition runs on High at 30fps.

You just need to stop shopping in crappy electronics shops, and pick one you can mod. ;) I put the DDR5 in myself, as it came with 8GB DDR3. The GPU could use some upgrading, but I'm not exactly earning a fortune at the moment.

Please tell me how you suggest I game on a desktop computer when I live in two cities half a country apart 50/50 of a week. ;) I'm not lugging a desktop tower onto a train for 5 hours twice a week, thank you very much... :laugh:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] bradleysmith:
Hmmmmm you didn't take any notice of my wink emoji.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
Sure did, hence all the laughing emojji's ;) Just joking along. :p
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] phoenixbennu:
I always find it funny when people talk about the limits of laptops and how you need a desktop for real power.

I see it all the time, and it makes me laugh. Sure, a desktop is cheaper and can definitely be more powerful, but my laptop serves me just fine, too.

I can run most games on ultra settings without much issue.

However, thats the one big thing with a surface for me. I still want to game. If I am not going to be lugging my laptop around, i sill want to be able to play an rts or maybe break out an older game like fallout 3 or call or juarez or civ 5 and play a bit. With the new setup, I think you will be able to do that. The older surfaces could game, but they were being pushed to run games like civ 5. I remember the i7 model was running so hot that it throttled down to the i5 model speed or less, so gamers were just going with the i5.

I hope they took care of heat management here. Its going to be one of the biggest issues when people start pushing those GPUs

It's really bad.. Google should do something about it already!

It's not such a complicated app, it seems like Google just ignores it.

For example I don't want it to launch everytime I connect my phone, and there's no settings for that. You need to manually delete the service that does this..

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_raz:
EDIT: FIXED, downloaded a firmware with restricted speed (5kb/s) unless you upgraded to premium, and basically, **** that. Anyways I downloaded the stock firmware and a Pit 300M, flashed with ODIN and it finally worked.

This is the firmware I used and that worked: G925FXXU3QOJ5_G925FECT3QOIU_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar.md5

the Pit I used was this one: ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN300M.pit. Please feel free to contact me if you need any of these files and I will try to upload them onto a site that has no download restrictions so you won't have to wait 15h+ as I did.

So I managed to brick my galaxy s6 edge (SM-925F) while trying to root and install CMW via odin. I downloaded a stock firmare "G925FXXU1AOCV_G925FVDS1AOCN_G925FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5" that I thought was for my cellphone but when trying to flash it with odin i recieved this error:

I did some searching on google and it lead me to believe it was the wrong firmware since I also recieved this message in downloading mode:

I am now searching for a stock firmware that is the correct one for my cellphone, a little bit of facts about the phone: Country: Sweden, Model Number: SM-G925F, ART code: SM-G925FZKENEE, Carrier: Tele2.

I figured posting a thread here with all you knowledgeble people would increase my chances of finding one since I've been frantically googling for the past 70 minutes. If none of you know where to find the correct software it's fine aswell, atleast I gave it a shot.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beachdude:
Hello! This is my first post. I have searched the forums and google for hours for a solution, so here I am. I have a Sony Xperia Z c6606 running a c6603 Android 5.1.1 Build # 10.7.A.0.222 stock ROM. Its bootloader is not unlockable, it is rooted, and has XZ Locked Dual Recovery installed. Most streaming videos I play from the internet plays smoothly for several minutes, but if I skip ahead, it freezes. After sitting for a few moments, it plays for a few seconds, stops, plays for a few more seconds, then stops again, and keeps repeating that cycle. This happens regardless of whatever browser I use. I have tried Chrome, Dolphin, CM Browser, Firefox, Opera and others. Even though I have video players installed such as Dice Player, MX Player, the phone mostly uses the built in player, without giving me the option to use others. Video plays fine from the YouTube, Netflix and Hulu apps, however. I have tried clearing and formatting the phone's cache. I have tried clearing Dalvik. I have gone to Developer Options and disabled HW overlays, I have tried forcing GPU rendering, and I have even tried the Use Awesomeplayer (deprecated) option, to no success. I have also done a factory reset, and re-installed my ROM. I know it's not a network issue, because it happens on every wifi connection I try, or on T-Mobile LTE with a strong signal. Does anyone know what could be causing this behavior and/or how I can fix it? I am at my wits end in dealing wih this. Thanks for your time!!

Building Right now. Wait for few hours

Find and report bugs but dont expect them to be fixed soon
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Dont get scared of blank screen after boot animation, its still running behind the scenes.
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Uploading... Uploading... Uploading...

Uploaded Enjoy
[HTC Sensation] WnG88:
Thanks Shantur. Will try to install and report back.
[HTC Sensation] Imotep95:
Thanks man. I've managed to install with adb sideload(twrp by ivanich) and windows 10. Was a bit pain in the a$$.$ tho.

Small bugs:

1. File manager(stock): Unable to gain the required privileges to function, but ES works great(adb push-ed)

2. Few random reboots, but totally expected.

Among that, everyhing is working. Definitely smoother than Lollipop.

Its flaky, at times it works at times it doesnt but the adb sideload with cm recovery works everytime.

One for the noobs

Hello Shantur you said This is a Rom base for devs. But please consider makeing a build for us noobs with your kernal and your know how, one that you would also used. With normal install instead of adb sideload. :p:p

And witch gapps package is used??.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Imotep95:
I tried all MM gapps, with some i got bootloop with some phone is unusable(black screen, reboots etc).
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
not sure if this will help, I have had issues with LP GAPPS at times and found that if you boot into the os then dlear the data for play store and play services then immediately reboot this can resolve some instability issues.

not boot loops though.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Have you tried Deltadroid's 6.0 gapps? gapps-600-base-20151022-2-signed.zip | thread
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
I see it is for devs as i wont be maintaining the rom once it gets stable. There is no difference in rom for dev or noob. If you want you can use this rom people are saying they are able to flash it using ivanich's twrp. The reason adb sideload is needed because right now i dont have any other stable recovery for Marshmallow.

I havent tried any gapps yet. Its really early stage. All the code in CM is not merged, tbh i wasnt expecting it to work this early. CM has not even started building any msm8960 device.
[HTC Sensation] Burth67:
Thanks for your explanation, I will wait until it is sorted out. I like the roms you puts out, because it is stable and works wel. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
New build uploaded to same location. Majorly upstream changes

Use the latest TWRP by [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] Thanks to him you guys can install without adb sideload
[HTC Sensation] Burth67:
Thanks Shantur you are very kind to us noobs. :highfive: :highfive:

When installing latest Rom with ivanich latest twrp recovery i keep getting error=7 , what should i do ??
[HTC Sensation] Imotep95:
Hmm, do you twrp 2.8.7.4 or 2.8.7.0? Have you tried to ignore and reboot to system?

I flashed with adb commands, all good. No more blank screen, stock cm file manager still fc due to some privileges.
[HTC Sensation] Burth67:
I used twrp TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-f2fs-r6 from ivanich. No i didn't ignore and reboot with error=7 . I will try it your way and see. thanks :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] Imotep95:
Some benchmarks.

One small bug: Bluetooth couses reboot(while turning on). It was working on first build.
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Thanks for benchmarks, how does it compare to CM12.1?

Bluetooth bug is because i forgot a cherry-pick

Thanks to [MENTION=6016301]Khizar Ali[/MENTION]
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Uploaded new build.

- Lots of Upstream changes

- Fixed Adoptable Storage

For perfect results use adb sideload to flash else you can try twrp

From now on we move back to using the original /data partition. If you want you can adopt the sdcard into data partition.

If you have sd-ext it will be good idea to backup and setup adoption. But do keep in mind that once adopted the sdcard is tied to this phone.

If you will wipe the data then sdcard will need to be wiped. For now TWRP doesnt support adopted sdcard because it is encrypted in a different way.

I will be looking at a way to adopt an sdcard without encrypting in this way it will be much easier to use.
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
One thing that I couldn't understand, about the adoptable sdcard as internal storage on Marshmallow. I have EXT4 partition on my sdcard, so, the system will choose the EXT4 partition or the whole sdcard? Because if it use the whole sdcard as Internal Storage (which will be formatted to EXT4 and encrypted) then I can't use it as USB Mass Storage or MTP. Can you explain more? Just to clear other people too. Thank You.
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
It will format and use the whole sdcard. This sd card will be encrypted and used as internal storage. So when you will connect it via MTP it will show the /data/media/0 folder as an emulated sdcard. This is like devices which dont have sdcard like Nexus4, 5. These devices emulate a folder in internal storage as sdcard or external storage to be precise.

Hi [MENTION=3275672]shantur[/MENTION] long time no see.

Not working yet. It's because of GApps (Google Apps) are not working on this ROM for now.

And I think, they will only work on ivanich's ROM. But I didn't test it.

[HTC Sensation] gab_ITA:
how do i sideload the rom ?? :)
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Use Ivanich's latest TWRP and try flashing multiple times if it fails one time.
[HTC Sensation] djmaj0:
Good job mate. Installed it after a few hours it is working. Found some bugs like: recorded video flickering in green color, some fcs, etc. Major problem is with optimizing of apps each boot. There is still 1 app which is optimized after every reboot. I suspect open gapps (pico) which i used.

And also please could someone upload the older builds of lollipop because I have problems installing the newer builds.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
1st you should flash [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] latest twrp recovery.

Just be sure to pick the right one for CM12 or CM13.

Older versions or other recoveries won't work or only by sideloading the rom.

An ext partition can easily be setup in recovery. Be sure to use a fast sc card (class 10), otherwise your phone will lag.

Using a only 4 GB sd card makes no sense in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] DmitryKulakov:
Why after successfully flashing the ROM the system keeps on running the CM logo?

Initially I tried to flash it with TWRP, there was en error message at the end of the process.

Then I tried with adb sideload, no error, but still looping the CM logo.

Then I tried again with TWRP without error, but looping the logo anyway...

TWRP 2.8.7.4 Currently running CM Lollipop.
[HTC Sensation] ctschrodinger88:
For any others that stumble into this problem.

So in googling around I found out other people were able to get past this by wiping their whole system.

I tried it and it worked.

Steps:

1. Wipe whole system.

2. Reboot into bootloader.

3. adb sideload image

4. Reboot system.

I hope it helps.
[HTC Sensation] ctschrodinger88:
Just to check, has anyone found a working Gapps for this?

I tried Slim_zero's and Deltadroid's with no luck.

It just keeps having a "x stopped responding" for Play store to AOSPK.
