I was talking to a hermes chef about this issue not to long ago, and he said he'd happliy donate all the missing rgu's to anyone who asked. So I guess it depends on the sort of character that your dealing with as to whether rgu's were removed for speed benefits or as an anti-tampering measure.

The reason a speed difference exists is because your device constanty scans the WINDOWS folder for files. The less files it has to scan the less time that is devoted to this process.

Some chefs do employ this tactic as an anti-tampering measure. Some even go so far as to put all of your files on one dsm file. Claims of evolution past the use of dsm files surrounded this release, draw your own conclusions about that one. Chef's who employ this anti-tampering measure are in essence altering someone else's intellectual property (IP). Anybody who has had anything to do with the legal side of IP will know that it is a grey area at the best of times. So the scenario of adding your IP to someone else's IP raises many ethical and legal issues.

So just to summarise, if you do remove those files for speed purposes then thats acceptable, to do so as an anti-tampering measure is not acceptable. Sorry I took so long to explain my point.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Blowfish64:
Sounds like a good idea. Delete all the DSM and RGU files to increase performance, then post them in a zip when you release the ROM. That way, those who want to learn/modify it can, and those who don't want their device cluttered with crap they don't need don't have it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cyphol:
We have to look at how developers do it. They also did not delete the RGUs. Why? :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] michaeljames_a:
list of this rgu's?

Could anyone then give a list of these rgu's that we can remove and how are we to remove them... for speed purposes...

thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Hum... You're quite funny talking here about intellectual property. Though we all appreciate the Chef's great job (and can donate to show our appreciation), let's have a bit of honesty: the IP here is Microsoft's.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] NRGZ28:
LOL! Amen!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] peter petrelli:
I never said that the IP didnt belong to Microsoft. That was my point exactly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ctrlaltdel:
I can't remember where to read that but surely in this forum, you can savely delete all the .rgu files after rom dump creation (i mean delete those .rgu in the temp folder after running buildos tool) as all required registry for each package have been merged to default.hv and user.hv. Just simply go to the temp folder and make a quick search on *.rgu and delete all.

For .dsm, it will be best to kept all the .dsm files in the ROM for the device to run properly.

For instance, I have tried to delete all .dsm file when modifing a ROM to suit my own use, after deleting all .dsm, the activesync stop working (keep say connecting when plug to PC with USB cable). when put back all .dsm, it works perfectly.

This is just my personal experience on .dsm deletion, if anything i am wrong, please correct me. Also please share your view in .dsm files, i have googled it for long but still cannot get an idea of what it exactly done.

hope this help, cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MarsRover:
AFAIK

You can delete all rgu files, no difference

but try to do the same with ALL DSMs and you'll see the difference :)

you have to leave DSMs for at least SYS packages, but maybe not all of them. Or make just one DSM for all, not sure if it will work

EDIT: sorry, ctrlaltdel already answered above
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] yatrg:
How do you delete files that are flagged as being in the ROM once it is already installed on the phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
i tried to delete the DSM's out of my own dumb curiosity... and... it broke.... so, dont delete these.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
I do it for the same reasons, I try to split every component of my ROM into packages with all details in RGU files, to make the kitchen as easy as possible.

I don't know about the improvement after deleting those files, but for sure you mustn't delete DSM files, and concerning storage space I don't think you will save a lot by deleting RGU files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
if you're hard up for storage, I've found that you can delete quite a few files from the phone. I usually get rid of all the help files (they are listed at htm files). open each one to make sure you dont need it. I then delete all of the wav's, wma's, amr's, and mid's that I KNOW i dont want or need. Then I delete the one movie that's in the ROM. Then, i go through EVERY png, jpg, and gif file and remove the ones that I know I dont need. I use an aftermarket dialer and an aftermarket comm manager so that pretty much allows you to dump ALL of the dialer/comm manager pictures as well as the indialer ones. I get rid of all of the files listed with "I-8" at the beginning of their name, but, I dont have a camera so you have to be careful with these. I dump all of the EVdo Files (as the phone doesnt' do EVDO) as well as the 1xrtt ones. I have broken my phone (not bricked, just HORRIBLY slow) once so I'm pretty much not affraid to test to see what can go (as evidenced by my post just prior to Schaps).

bottom line: if you want to save space, you can. You just have to go through the rom file by file and delete what you KNOW you dont need. Keep a backup of the ROM and, if it doesnt work, reinstall and try again!

Help!

I did not do a backup IMEI and now does not work network, no IMEI? Is it possible to do something?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umudeus:
which rom / which kernel flashed before lost your imei

because if your problem kernel related, little change but maybe your new kernel cannot read your efs info. if this; you can flash stock rom with odin.

But if you lost your imei when flash a stock rom with odin (i did once with my old note 2!!) then try to flash custom rom (DrKetan recomended) and his stock modified kernel.

i hope you fix your problem.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piterjoseph:
I did root, after some phone application hangs. After uploading new software was no longer the network and IMEI. I tried to upload the rom dr. Ketana and its kernel. Next the same.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddmmak:
Hey guys, a couple of days ago, my phone started popping up those 'Unfortunately.. has stopped working" messages for a lot of programs. For example, camera stopped, keyboard, gmail etc. What would cause this?

I then proceeded to backup and I did a factory reset by doing it via phone which worked but then I kept on getting the same messages. I then proceeded to use Smart Switch on the PC to do a reset but the same things happen. Added with this was when I did the email verification I had to get a new password but did a reset after that and I think the phone is locked for 72 hours via the email verification.

I plan on taking it back to the dealer to get it sent in.

Is there anything else I could have done or still do?

Thanks,

D
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umudeus:
if you flashed new rom with smart switch and messages keeps pops out, problem must be hardware related.

I would guess so. I didn't flash any rom, just stock. I brought it back to the dealer to send off to Samsung

So my phone's battery surpassed the six day mark without dipping below fifty percent because I have been using it only for calling and sms. Last night at 2am the battery was at fifty two percent. Then all of a sudden at 10am the battery died. It dropped to zero. I was able to plug it back in and give it life again, but this seems totally bizarre. Anyone got an explanation?

I don't play games.... I don't want music, I have a ton of iTunes credit I won.... So all my music and video needs are covered.

Any other suggestions?

existenz roms are best for me. existenz 3.5.5 (android kk) is way better for battery life.

existenz premium (andoid LL 5.1.1) is way better at performance and so smooth. battery life is a little bit less against 3.5.5 but i can live with it. and also those two roms have their own settings for better customization.

you should try both ofr 1-2 days and decide.

Stock Samsung galaxy Spica 2.1 is probably best for xperia z...

But seriously

, there is no such thing like BEST ROM.

Why?

Because everyone have different usage behave, they use different features, and most important, Everyone like different things.

For one person ROM that have 10000 and 1 settings is good, and other like something simple. One like Colorful Lollipop theme, other like good old Dark Theme. One like loots of placebo settings, other like to keep it real and stick to stock options.

You get my point? Because we can sit here and talk about OUR favorite ROMs but at the end of the day we could not find best one.

Hello. I don't know if it is working or not working. Or if it should work actually in that way but...

Here's the thing. I bought this case - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...hash=item3f51037847:m:mx72xhE-EjvIAifVs0AYS-w

And I previously had a LG G3, which I sold, got this beauty of a phone. I had the Circle view case for G3 and when it was put on, when I opened the cover, the phone automatically unlocked and turned on. But that doesn't happen on my Z3. Is it due to some sensors or due to to a bad case? Something with magnets in the case or the phone itself. It would be fine, if a sensor would detect wether there is a cover on the screen or not. But it does simply nothing, I have to unlock the phone by myself to wake it up. Or there are no such features on Sony phones? :)
