[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outcasted2003:
Use Kies and do a complete back up of your phone. Do a factory reset but make sure the auto restore options are unchecked in settings before doing the reset. After you do the factory reset and complete the phone setup, hook the phone back up to Kies and do a restore. It will apply all your phone settings, wallpapers, ringtones and apps. Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
Thanks for the information. :)

After an hour of backing up, it got to 100% and then crashed. When I got back in, there was no backup. Samsung - Everything mostly works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharke_Phoenxyx:
My battery starts dropping right after I take it off the charger. I charged it this morning, took it off about 8am, and I've barely used it except for 3 phone calls and couple whatsapp messages, its now at 72%, because I literally avoided using it. If I do, its charged to 100 at 8am, and down to 50% by noon, 1pm on regular usage. This sucks.

Yes, I did a factory reset once I got the OTA Lollipop update.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] zeconha:
Good afternoon,

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. Whenever I have to carry, is to lag when I'm using .

can they tell me what is the problem ?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] alpivelopx:
I have the same problem while charging. I don't know whether charging control is using too much processor power.

By the way, which Android version are you using?
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
To root: you must install the ADB installer to your PC then run the twrp tethered recovery on your PC (type:ACCEPT , option 4 then T4) as well with your phone connected click launcher.bat and make sure to have super su.zip on your SD card and flash that zip file boom you are rooted
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Safe debloat list, there were some apps that I could of deleted but I didn't and obviously if there is an app that you use don't delete it. I've even deleted the launcher and the messaging app and replace them with lighter ones.

As for any app pertaining to audio, v4a does everything, it works smoother. Just enable expert ui in v4a settings, you can fine tune everything. ??

To completely delete app remains. Remove the folders the app left behind in data/app, system/app, system/priv-app
[ZenFone 2 General] android.4.evr:
Thanks you for everything in one place. Very helpful resources. But how to root
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Simply enable usb debugging on your phone, run adb installer on your pc and connect your phone. Make sure to have supersu.zip on your sd card, Run launcher.bat from tethered twrp with your phone connected. Type accept then 4 then T4. Then on twrp on your phone, tap install, search for supersu.zip flash it. And you are rooted. Bypass everything else root this and that. Just flash super su. That is the whole point of rooting in the first place, to install supersu and grant root permissions for applications. I hope i helped.
[ZenFone 2 General] android.4.evr:
So flash with custom recovery Super SU zip. And rooted okay so easy. Trying now. Thanks you [MENTION=6758142]robot_head[/MENTION]

Yes it work so easy. And all file needed in 1 place. What custom ROM you suggest. Am so excited . :good:
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
I'm sorry no custom roms as of yet. Just stock, but xposed works great on this phone. Glad to hear you're rooted my friend??
[ZenFone 2 General] HypnoticSilence:
Thanks for putting this together. I've been bookmarking like tons of different pages for when I get the unlock code for my phone, but this is SO much more convenient.
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Working on a rom as of now, updater script is kicking my arse. Total noob at this.
[ZenFone 2 General] HypnoticSilence:
What kind of ROM will it be? Fairly close to AOSP or a performance-oriented Stock ROM?
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
It will basically be exactly how I have my phone set up and be debloated. Xposed, stuff like that. It's an Asus rom .118 with as much Asus stuff I could take off. Even with changing the firmware on this phone its still locked down by AT&T. So that means no kernels, everything has to be based off stock or at least use a stock kernel to run
[ZenFone 2 General] ravb90:
Carrier unlock

Does anyone tried to carrier-unlock this phone via the at&t unlock webpage?

I'm really interested in buy this phone, but I need it unlocked becoz I don't live in USA
[ZenFone 2 General] djole94hns:
You can buy the unlocked phone already. ZenFone 2E ZE500CL is an AT&T exclusive, ZenFone 2 ZE500CL is the same phone, but for the rest of the world. I have ZE500CL, I've bought it unlocked.
[ZenFone 2 General] HypnoticSilence:
Only difference I could find between the two is that the 2E (AT&T Exclusive) has less storage and RAM. It's 8GB of storage vs 16GB and 1GB of RAM instead of 2GB.
[ZenFone 2 General] djole94hns:
You also can't unlock the bootloader on the AT&T variant, and you need to unlock it to flash custom recovery and custom ROMs.

Edit: actually, this might work: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/zenfone-2e-root-rom-t3174135/post64716579#post64716579
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Nope, i followed that, no success. Stupid network error, maybe if someone could decompile the unlock app and figure out the reason it won't unlock for the 2e. Maybe apatch with lucky patcher or some way to force it to unlock the bootloader without connecting to asus servers. Hmmmm

[ZenFone 2 General] ravb90:
The thing is, the AT&T variant is only 60$, that's why i'm asking :silly:
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
2e is a ok phone, i down graded to the lowest firmware 12.16.4.3 and it's much faster than 118. Super debloated, and init.d apk allows kernel auditor to work, so the phone feels faster thanks to [MENTION=5517367]cidlover[/MENTION] for the find. I almost considered a blu phone but development isn't what i thought it was, more than this phone though.

And no i haven't tried carrier unlock, maybe region lockaway by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

CM 12.1 slower than ASUS Stock firmware?

Do you guys have this same issue? For me, CM 12.1 works clunkier than ASUS Stock ROM. Don't know what the issue is. Maybe the ROM needs some more refinement...

Also, I was looking into a way to mount a network drive in android so that it sees it as an internal drive. I found out about CIFSManager but it's already obsolete. Do you guys know of any other way?

And, I added SWAP partition for this phone and it is working much smoother and faster now. I know it might degrade SD card life but... don't really care.. SD cards are cheap these days.. ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] cidlover:
What did you use to make the SWAP partition, an android app or terminal commands?

Did you use the scripts on the forums? If so I'll make a miui account to just download them all.

Sent from my Rooted and Xposed CM12.1 Zenfone 2E
[ZenFone 2 General] anup756:
Yes they are just init.d scripts(scripts that run when phone first boots) and mounts the swap.. init.d is not supported natively by this phone so you need to enable it using Universal Init.d from Playstore.

I believe you can partition your sd card using ROM Manager. Just select Ext Size as 256 for 1GB SD Card and 512 for >1GB. The highest you can go is upto 512 in ROM Manager. There are other apps that let you have more space. Select swap size as 128MB or 256MB.

Update: There is a better way... You can partition your sdcard using Apps2SD (download from PlayStore). I have a 64GB MicroSD.. I have 2GB as SWAP space since phone has 1GB. The card is partitioned to Ext4 therefore you need to manually mount it(create and run a init.d script) on boot.

Update 2: You can create partitions, including SWAP, using Apps2SD app. Much easier than creating a init.d script and mounting the partitions. Apps2SD handles all of these automatically. If you come across any problems while partitioning your SDCard, just use GParted (which I had to use) in Linux to partition and use Apps2SD (it automatically detects) to setup SWAP using SWAP Manager. I have uploaded a video in youtube showing how smooth it feels when there is swap installed. :) In my phone I have CM12.1 with minimal GAPPS support. Also, Apps2SD is a free version that I downloaded from PlayStore and therefore has Ads(can be annoying at times). Currently, my swap space is 3gb as this phone only has 1gb of memory. Also, you can see that GO Launcher feels little buggier when you first start but gets smoother over time. Honestly, I like CM's default launcher more.

ASUS Zenfone 2e with CM12.1 and SWAP Partition: https://youtu.be/d8H9f0dPU2E

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2125513

Also good thing to notice is the following... This is specially for LINUX based systems.. don't know if we can apply it for android :D -

Amount of RAM in the system ------> Recommended swap space ------> Recommended swap space if allowing for hibernation

2GB of RAM or less -----> 2 times the amount of RAM -----> 3 times the amount of RAM

2GB to 8GB of RAM -----> Equal to the amount of RAM -----> 2 times the amount of RAM

8GB to 64GB of RAM -----> 0.5 times the amount of RAM -----> 1.5 times the amount of RAM

64GB of RAM or more -----> 4GB of swap space -----> No extra space needed

I can get back to twrp and flash the 12.1 again but i cant ever get any of the asus stock firmwares to flash or the russian bear rom to work.

Here is 118 stock recovery, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_c2hdjSBKMALWZxUUxYRE1lWE0/view?usp=drivesdk. Flash in fastboot or use flashify from the play store to flash the recovery, then with that you should be able to flash the 118 stock firmware. You cannot flash Russian bear with that recovery though. If you're having trouble with Russian Bear try using tethered twrp
