[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
Hey guys

I have been playing with ROMs, CM, Stock and others on Tab S 10.5 LTE and have some basic RAM questions

1) How is my internal memory (internal SD Card) organised? Does it contain fixed size and type partitions? I know we have "partitions" like "EFS" (do not touch that it contains important phone information), "boot", "cache", "system", "data" etc - are these really pre-made partitions that not even TWRP changes during backup/restore? Or are these simply directories on the internal SD card ?

2) I have noticed that with both Stock ROM and CM 12.1 I am getting a 1GB swap, which resides on the internal memory. Is that something that the Android OS does during install automatically, or do I have a pre-made partition on my internal SD card type linux swap, and that's why no matter what OS I install, it will always be a 1GB swap?

3) if my external SD card has a FAT32 or exFAT partition, what is the general/best method to tell Android/apps to use it for "data", like browser downloads, temporary files, photos, music etc?

4) if my external SD card has a ext3/4 partition, will Android "see" it automatically and start using it somehow? Or will it be dead space until I use some tool (which tool? is it the link2SD ? )

5) Android allows me to move applications to the external SD card natively through Settings/Apps - how does that differ from link2SD?

Many thanks for all your help
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
All partitions are fixed sizes and shouldn't be messed with.

These partitions are flashed with images from the stock firmware.

To make the sd card default storage you need to do this on a per app basis with each app.
[Framaroot] alhernandez2198:
Hey there, I was able to get some help here a few years back to help in rooting my galaxy s5 active. I tried rooting my galaxy tab 4 smt337a with framaroot one click rooting access. I was granted root access and after a while I had to start my tablet up again then it goes to a screen with a yellow triangle with exclamation point. I'm able to get into recovery mode by holding down the home button, power and volume up. I tried a factory reset, wipe cache and rebooting but goes back that the screen with the sign. I don't have access to a computer so I was wondering if I can either install a custom firmware or go back to stick then try rooting agian. I had xmodlte to play games before the tablet went into this loop. Any advice and or assistance to help me get up and running would be appreciated.

[MENTION=4102242]Gustavo RD78[/MENTION] Just a small hint: if you modify the kernel and publish it you have to post (a link to the) source code (and everything you need to build the posted kernel), too. If you don't do so, this violates GPL and therefore violates the law in most countries.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Gustavo RD78:
What you said is not a hint, let alone have any foundation. Pay attention to all that is written following before you can post things without foundation, you know what it is ramdisk and zImage?

Now if you want the source code will discuss with sony and not me, because I modified only ramdisk and not zImage! Still if you want to know what I did in ramdisk, read what were the added features or unpack the kernel and check yourself.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] smoodin:
Hi Gustavo, I just flashed it over the Slim ROM

Thing is, it doesn't get past the Xperia logo and when connecting to the wall charger the red LED keeps blinking. The phone doesn't seem to boot.

Any help is greatly appreciated :(

Fixed by reflashing a stock ROM, just found out that the phone isn't unlocked :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
Hi,

got a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with Stock Android 2.2 FROYO.XWJMK.

I wanted to install Andoid 4.x/5.x but only found guides telling me to install "original" Android 2.3.3 first.

So I found a Download containing "Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread [XXJQ1]", "gt-p1000_mr.pit", "GB_Stock_Safe_v5", "Odin3_v1.7" and "JPZ Modem" (europe).

Trying to follow these instructions ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI79j97R4qw ) I booted the device into Download-Mode by pressing VOL_DOWN + POWER.

I selected the files in odin as described ( screenshot: https://pl.vc/4ehx3 ) and connected the device. It showed up as COM5 so I hit start.

It immediately failed after a fraction of a second. A second try didn't even start the process:

<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!

I powered the device off. Since then, it doesn't boot up. All I get is a white outlined mobile connected to a pc with a yellow exclamation mark like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258444

I cannot enter download mode (VOL_DOWN+POWER) or recovery (VOL_UP + POWER).

However, it still gets recognized by odin in this state.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
btw. I just found out that Odin may have failed because windows was always using a standard microsoft virtual com port driver for the device. I now selected the driver manually from the Samsung Kies installation folder but I got three to choose of:

SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port

SAMSUNG Mobile USB OBEX Serial Port

SAMSUNG Mobile USB At command Port

Guess the first one should be correct? Can someone please confirm that?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
Okay, I've now selected "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" by hand... (screenshot 1)

Odin now is able to continue after SetupConnection for the first time ever. Now it fails on "Re-Partition operation failed" without "Re-Partition" being checked. (screenshot 2)

Should I enable "Re-Partition"? I'm trying to flash stock Android 2.3 now which I've downloaded from sammobile ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/3296/P1000XWJQ8_P1000DBTJQ1_DBT/ ).

Considering I've used a wrong driver before... Is it somehow possible that the device got bricked not by me failing to flash correctly, but by Odin trying to communicate with the device using the wrong driver?

Btw. the microsoft default driver is only selected by Windows 10 by default. Windows 8.1 and earlier won't install a driver for this device by default...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFZ:
Well... Tried heimdall (ui), read pit successfully, closed and rebooted. Device boots fine again - nothing flashed.

Guess just

heimdall close-pc-screen

would have done the trick.
[Moto 360] tinker_tf:
Hi all,

I've recently come back into the android fold and I'm currently using the Nexus 6P (fantastic phone btw) and now I'm branching out to other android devices.

I've always wanted a smart watch and I feel now is the time to dive in. After a lot of research that's left me with two options and I'm torn between the Moto 360 (46mm) and the Huawei watch. I've read countless reviews and they both have their pro's and con's, such as cost, display, battery, looks, functionality and I've read into the issues surrounding the charging cradles which only makes my decision more difficult.

I'm all for customization and can spend hours on XDA reading and trying things regarding my phone and android in general which made me take note of in terms of support and activity the Moto 360 has a lot more attention on XDA, I appreciate that this is most likely due to the Moto 360 being more main stream and has been out for longer, not to mention the V1 lead the charge for android wear but user support is very important to me.

At the moment I'm not sure how I feel about the flat tyre which appears to most of the gripes for the 360 however on investigation several watches faces appear to have overcome this issue to some extent and many users after some time appear to have forgotten all about it, plus it does serve some practicality with the ambient display so it's not all bad.

Any thoughts? Pro's and con's? Are there any 360 users also looking at the Huawei watch?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mafsi:
I'll give a try tonight. I read about that kk is better than lollipop but i didn't find all these settings. You got 6h SOT?

Then is worth trying your settings! Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
As you can see from the attached screen shot 50% battery use and almost 4 hours screen on in 11 hours of use, this means at least 6 hours depending on what your doing with your phone like browsing and or social or what ever, i guess when gaming you will get 5 hours gaming time but i dont game other then backgammon or chess and you will have 8 hours of movie watching. (my screen backlight i have set to -1 )

I have also migitate system software so i use bare rom without google and samsung and all other for me useless services.

If anybody like to have it, i can make a TWRP system backup file available which you can restore on your phone, i use new modem version XXUHOF2 which is also better in battery use then kitkat version of the rom build i use.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 General] mafsi:
It would be nice to have a backup. Also can you point me to gnk4 modem and bootloader? I have only gnk2.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] glarage:
Thank for sharing.

I have a 9505 since september, and battery's life is very horrible on this device...., but your right kitkat is a way better for battery (5 hours SOT for me:100% to 20%). I talk about CM11 between CM12, because i hate TW (personnal feeling). Did you ever try Cm13, there are a lot improvements specially for battery and speed....

But i check your "build.prop" and i never tried this settings: IPV4Tcp mem, rem, wem,...; net core max...; keepalive intvl, etc, .. in /proc/sys/net ( i always tweak manually, no offense). Did them improve your speed bandwitch, and battery when you stream (my principal use)

Thank in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
Hi,

Yes i tried all CM versions but i dont like cm as you dislike tw :) your right about tcp settings every connection is different but in general its good, one setting is good for internet download and so on and other setting is good for ntfs network browsing what i do a lot, the settings i use are good performance between those two i use.

If you have settings you are using and they are top performing your welcome to share.

My tweaks are not so complete like yours and i have to test, first: "net.tcp.buffersize" and "/proc/sys/net/"

But my "best" tweak was to live without the Service Google Play. A MUST :good:

great let me know if it works for you, i agree on removing google play, it save you a lot of battery and privacy, that was the reason i stripped the rom down to bare metal with privacy and battery savings (and fun fiddeling on the rom to gain performance).

Strange. V9 Rom is not booting...It stais in bootloop

The original rom. Tried different kernels. Still stuck at samsung logo for 30 min.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chashmaa:
You r right brother. May I used many lp base custom rom for 9505 but battery and some other issues. So back kk last 2 month with variable kk rom like cardhd, Imperial, echoe, phoneix etc.now I have myba rom with UNG2 modem and bl. I don't used goldfinger rom before.but now trying it.one help plus my phone current status here.can I flash this rom without Chang bl and modem? I know this question post in rom thread but I hope u suggest me here.thanks....
[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
Strange, did you had a clean data install? What you can try is to install a fresh install of a kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
Yes you can, i have bootloader and modem from lollypop.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mafsi:
I managed to install the rom flashing alucard kernel. The rom however has lag when opening apps, also from 100% to 80% dropped using 44 min SOT. This rate I have on stock lollipop firmware, so i didnt see any major changes.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
With standard install of the rom you have at least 4 hours sot (without tweaks) so there must be something what isn't correct, if your phone runs only on alucard maybe there are other files from previous kernel or something left on your phone that drains your battery and you cannot boot with other kernel, look for cleaning script of kernel leftovers. Many kernels dev's uses different files what they install on your system.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nojevah:
I've tried this ROM (+AEL kernel + Skynet tweaks without Qosmio's ones) . I've just got my GS4 si I can't compare)

1) I don't have "LED notifications" menu. I think it's due to Goldfinger ROM.

2) If the battery is good when screen is off, I'm quite disappointed by this device when screen is on. One of best way to judge battery drain is this app (for me): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

[IMG="Battery drain with screen on"]http://i.imgur.com/NUfKPyK.png[/IMG]

And look when screen is on (ok I was using GPS, but it's always like that): As soon as I use screen, -30% by hour.

Can you install this app (clean, no battery drain, no strange permissions, no ads) and report your finding ?

I'm afraid it's just the side effect of Amoled + 1920x1080.

Hi all!

I try since 3 days to connect my Trinity with my XP Pro - no chance :(

I found no complete "How to do" on this forum and also not on Google.

Could please someone post all the settings on the Trinity ( Computer:, User name:,Password, Domain ) and what to do exactly on the XP Pro.

I have a D-Link Router ( I believe I must open Port 3389 - but it´s hard because there are some strange settings [ destination - source .... ].

[Huawei Watch] sinple:
Hua Wei watch has sapphire crystal. Enough said.
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Sounds like you want moto 360. Both are great. Huawei watch much more nicer and more classy expensive looking. Moto has it in bigger size as well, so if u like bigger watch faces then you need moto.

I personally love my black Huawei. It is worth every penny. I could care less about customization and user support forums. I buy technology to help me save time in my busy life. I don't have time nor the interest to be reinventing android wear on my watch.
[Huawei Watch] Hanger4life:
Sapphire

Bingo! Can't say enough about the durability of this watch also. Only wish it were more water proof.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

I don't believe the moto has a speaker either.....does it? Plus have you seen the display on the moto in ambient mode? Holy s...! It's completely pixilated. When I'm inside the house,office,mall, anywhere other than outside,the huawei ambient mode is easily visible, and completely crystal clear. No pixelation. The watches are in these ambient modes most of the time,especially if you have tilt to wake off like me. Please watch videos on you tube comparing this ambient mode with the moto.....its so nasty and ghetto looking.
[Huawei Watch] redeuxx:
My decision came down to the fact that the Moto 360 had a flat tire. I wanted a fully circular watch. I think the biggest downside to the Huawei Watch is the horrible charging mechanism. It's a pain to work with especially when I have to quickly charge my watch using a portable charger and throw it in my bag.
[Huawei Watch] tinker_tf:
Hi all,

After much consideration I ended up ordering the 46mm Moto 360. It basically came down to price at the end of the day. The Huawei watch is £329 with the standard leather strap, I was able to order via a discount code a 46mm Moto 360 with a 22mm metal band and a micro Knurl Bezel for £280. Both are added extras above the standard Moto 360.

I may come back to the Huawei watch as I'm still concerned about the flat tyre and pixel density, however given the extras, screen size and the cost I felt it was too good of an option to let go.

Thanks for all the advice above!
[Huawei Watch] OnnoJ:
I am surprised about the dislikes of the HW charging mechanism. I own both HW and Gear S2 Classic. I see no advantage or disadvantage of either charging means. I hold the HW just above the dock and it snaps in place - nothing difficult. Even when using a portable charger in my bag, while hardly ever needed though, the HW stays connected to the dock. Same with the Gear S2. It is also easy to put gear on dock as it snaps on, but I am not especially pleased that there are no connector pins. I just don't care....

I haven't checked yet if Gear S2 remains docked in my bag. I think the HW is better locked though.
[Huawei Watch] chrisnash:
Actually I only paid £289 on Amazon for the black leather strap. I then bought a brown leather, a stainless steel band and mesh band on Amazon, pretty much identical to the originals and spent about £320 in total. Not bad for the watch and 4 straps!
[Huawei Watch] Nebell:
I got a pretty good price on my Huawei Watch a week ago. I live in EU but ordered from USA. Even with import tax and 2 day delivery it was still cheaper than anything in the rest of the world (and I checked). It ended up costing $427/£290/€390.

I ordered silver with leather band which I am not a fan of but mesh is already on the way. Hopefully it doesn't look too feminine.

I did get stupid USA charger which is useless in Sweden, but I have a converter at home (and it costs anyway like $5) so it's all good.

This is the watch I bought, although mine was cheaper at time. $310 or so, probably some Christmas price cut:
