[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musv:
Good morning,

to make the long story short: I would like to get a recommendation, which custom rom to use.

My experience:

I've rooted already several devices and installed a slim saber rom. But I don't have any deeper knowledge about the internals of the custom roms. In the past I've used already Boeffla Kernel on a Samsung S3. So flashing a device isn't a problem for me. I know what adb is and how to use it.

Current problems:

My phone - Oneplus One: Didn't like the fact, that with every official update of CM OS I had to wait for a rooted package to get the update installed. And moreover I don't like the idea to integrate Cortana into my Android device.

My wife's phone - Samsung Galaxy S4: Since rooting this device 2 years ago, it doesn't get any updates anymore. It's still running Kitkat 4.4

What do I want / expect on features from a Rom:

Marshmallow and should be available for Oneplus One and Samsung Galaxy S4 (GTI-9505)

Customize the Home button (very important!): The last Custom Rom I used had as a default value with long pressing the home button to start Google Now. I don't want this and don't need this. Much more important to me is the behaviour of the previous versions to get the list of the recent apps on longpressing home how it was specified until Lollipop. I need something like the Alt+Tab behaviour of an ordinary desktop computer. A workaround to get this behaviour back was installing the Xposed Addins. But to install a whole framework, where the most modules don't work isn't a solution. And I didn't feel good with that.

Extended power menu would be nice: Fast reboot and reboot to recovery. Even better would be if all those options are only on one hierarchy level.

Wifi priority order: If there are at one place more than one wifi networks available, I would like to be able to configure, to which network should be tried to connect first.

Nice to have: show the encryption system of wifi networks like it was in Android 4 (e.g. wep, wpa, wpa2-psk). Missed this information since lollipop.

Battery saving

Shouldn't be a one-man-developed custom rom with an uncertain future

Don't need / don't want:

A lot of graphical stuff, special launcher (I'm addicted to Yandex Shell anyway), Sounds and battery draining stuff.

Which rom would you recommend? Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

I saw, through a post on the Titan section, an upgrade page: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/p4000/software-downloads.html providing an official WM6 ROM. I'm rather a noob, but I thought someone might know if this would be useful or not, for our Wizards.

Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] starkwong:
HTC clearly stated there will be NO official WM6 updates for Wizard. That's why there are so many custom WM6 ROMs :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] joihan777:
I didn't mean to infer the ROM is for the Wizards.

It is built for the Titan. However, maybe this may be of use to anyone wishing to ?port? the ROM for Wizards? I just hope someone can find this build useful.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] starkwong:
Why porting that? There are already many ported and customized Wizard ROMs floating around!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PintilieAndrei:
Hi, My galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F) often have this problem and I can't write because often bottom screen don't work( last line of keys on keyboard) , when i press on them is pressed the previous line of buttons( Example: if I try to press backspace is pressed V) but very few times it works. Another problem, I think the problems are linked, is that telephone auto press recent apps, I don't touch it but he enters and exit recent apps continously. At some point it stops but after a while start again.

What i have tried: Install update, Reinitialization with smart swich, another framework through Odin.

Please help me and thank you!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml11ML:
Has anyone so far got any form of linux (vnc or framebuffer or any way it might work) on our tablet? A while ago i saw [MENTION=3241008]Stevethegreat[/MENTION] write about it in the androplus kernel thread and i'm wondering if anything came out of that. It would be really nice to get debian or ubuntu on here because my note 10.1 is getting quite slow for more demanding programs with its weedy 1.4 ghz exynos while the 810 would probably do amazingly well. By the way in case anyone was about to suggest it-- the linux deploy or complete linux installer apps don't seem to work on this tablet (stock rooted and androplus kernel), linux deploy fails at the beginning of the install and complete linux installer just plain force closes when trying to start the linux.... Any ideas?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHGE:
What do you want to run on the tablet?

Graphic-wise I do not miss anything.

With a terminal emulator and busybox or adb-shell the commandline takes me far...

I could even cross compile some arm-binaries if I had the itch.

For my server needs I have a Raspberry Pi2 (seafile, carddav, caldav) for < 50 EUR with nice case and power supply. Eats < 10 EUR electricity/year.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml11ML:
I mostly need propper linux to run exagear desktop which enables x86 programs to run on arm so that these tablets can be used as a intel laptop replacement . While it runs fine on my pi2 that is really a bit too weak even at 1 or 1.2 ghz and while it is faster on the old note i bet the 810 would make it approach the speeds of a entry level or mid range intel laptop and increase usability by alot. It also seems to me a bit weird how the apps i wrote about in the first post simply do not work on the z4tab even with selinux on premissive and such.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
I don't own the tablet so I can't be 100% sure. However if you compile a kernel with Virtual Terminal support and follow the linux guide I wrote for Note 10.1 2014 tablet , I'm mostly positive that you'd get a rather responsive linux implementation. You have to forget hardware acceleration though (as it is dependant to the particular architecture of each and every device), unless you found a way to implement it...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml11ML:
This guide? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/how-to-install-gnu-linux-samsung-galaxy-t3239809

I will try it but first i need to figure out why the linuxdeploy itself wont work... But thank you anyway, no hardware acceleration is more than good enough for my needs
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Yeah, but you have to edit some of the files there. For example the kernel used there is obviously for Note tablet, *don't attempt to flash it to Xperia tablet* it will brick it. Also you'd have to edit the xorg.conf fille that you have to copy to the first step (follow the explanation part).

If you do the above two probably both the quick guide and the full guide would work. If not it would mean that I'd have to update my LinuxCanvas app, in which case someone should donate to me an Xperia tablet Z4 :p
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml11ML:
One would have to be pretty mad to go trying to install Linux on a tablet and then flash a kernel from a samsung to a sony xD But yeah... i will try it IF this Linux Deploy will get about maybe working for a change...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Yeah I know, I just want to be clear so that nobody (of those reading here) would attmpt that and suddenly think that I was the one that bricked his device. I can do without such charges :p

As for linuxdeploy, I use version 1.5.3 in my guide as it is the one with less issues. I gave a link there to the apk. Try it and see how it goes.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vartha:
Linux deploy 1.5.6, current from play store, works well for me on a rooted SGP771, of course with an Andro+ kernel. Using armhf gave the least problems to get a Ubuntu or Debian installed with graphics via a local or remote VNC viewer.

Since the Z4T is 64 bits, I however aimed to install an arm64 architecture. Here, the success rate is lower, which is mostly due to packages that cannot be installed and a bug in tightvncserver with arm64 and higher color depth'.

I however finally succeeded with arm64 too, by using Ubuntu wily, LXDE and an x11rdp installed via ssh instead of tightvncserver. Now I'm trying a framebuffer display for speed, power consumption and a higher DPI, but yet without success. Changing DPI for VNC is simple, as Linux Deploy has a setting for it, but using RDP this seems to be tricky.

Did you say which error you get with Linux Deploy? I found it useful to turn on debug and trace output in the settings. The very first issue I had with Linux Deploy, first on the SGP621, later again on the SGP771, was that I tried to use the file method on the external SD card without the necessary permissions. On the Z4T I now use the internal storage instead, it's much faster too.

Unfortunately I'm not a Linux or Android guy, so I need to google solutions for each and every problem I encounter and I don't even think of trying to resolve package installation problems.

My objective is mostly to see how far I can get using Linux on such a lightweight device as the Z4T.

I already had the Eclipse IDE with JDT and CDT running fast enough for productive work. GHC (Haskell) runs too, but not GHCI. Using Linux with a touchscreen only and at such a high DPI is still disappointing. To my surprise, mc works rather well with a tochscreen in a fullscreen terminal via ssh. My holy grail shall however be to see Windows 8.1 running in qemu. I wonder how that will perform. Not so well I suppose. Maybe a combination of Wine and qemu would work ok, where qemu only executes the x86 application code and leaves the OS code behind the Windows APIs up to be executed natively by Wine...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHGE:
On my raspi2 I use armhf

[MENTION=7006321]vartha[/MENTION]

Interesting how far you've come.

On my Raspberry I have no problems (even used LibreOffice on LXDE) with armhf.

armhf (32 bit) gives no problems in package selections so far and should work on the Tablet Z4.

Some background:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armhf/index.html.de

https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

Problems with the tablet could setting up drivers for the qualcomm hardware in your version of Linux.

At least SONY provide the sources for the kernel and heading over to qualcomm there is tons of documentation. Here you look at specific (OEM-) boards. Our tablet is not that exotic.

I doubt you could run a huge operating system of INTEL-architecture due to memory constraints. Windows NT4 or XP might be possible in 3Gbytes host memory.

So, my first note 5 has a problem with black background, in the middle of the screen appears 3 small lines of light gray that is not visible unless you look for it. So I returned it for a new note 5. Did not have the issue above. Now, after 3 months of using my second note 5, I notice that whenever I used black wallpaper there is a a light gray rectangle at the bottom of the screen, a big one too. Under the icons and above samsung pay. Is this normal? My note 3 never has this issue.

[Verizon LG G4] Mr.Wellington:
I got my lg g4 yesterday and tried to root it using the little effort root and it didn't work. When it rebooted I the screen that says booting failed etc etc with the LG logo on it and it cut off. So I tried to kdz it back and I guess I chose the wrong KDZ and it just completely blacked out. Luckily they gave me another 1 (told them it wouldn't cut on after going dead) so I want to try rooting it again but I want to know which software version am I? In my settings it says vs98611A but under my battery it says vs986B. Which 1 is my kdz? And is there any other way to root this phone?

[Samsung Gear VR] smeen23:
i got a question about playing 3d movies on the gear vr...i saw lots of tutorials how to watch them and this thing really got me confused.....so after u convert the videos and all you can watch them using the player inside the oculus apk by having the cinema(etc) background .why cant it be played by not connecting the phone to the gear usb or by using package disabler and be full screen ? i'm sorry if this is a dumb question but i really want to know......
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
You can do as you say but the aspect will be all wrong in most apps. You can adjust the pixel ratio within Kodi to compensate but this will use your VR as simply a 3D viewer (no vr theatre). If you want to view your movie full screen in 2D from your phone directly, use Kodi ( Isangard downloaded from kodi website- Jarvais version from Play Store doesn't work) and select view 3D movies as 2D/monoscopic.
[Samsung Gear VR] stuaird:
im more than happy using kodi to view 3d files after adjusting the settings.
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
If I helped, please use the thanks button. ?
[Samsung Gear VR] johnboywilson:
I`m struggling here. How do i run kodi and use the VR?
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
I don't do tutorials because I suck at them but I have put together a small video to explain this for you. Basically setup kodi to your viewing liking and insert it in your gear VR (or not).

https://youtu.be/NB-z5haFm0c
[Samsung Gear VR] johnboywilson:
Thank you very much for that.

I did all that. But when I put my phone in it opens up oculus app.
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
Gear VR Service has to be disabled first. If your phone is rooted then you can just freeze it. If you are not rooted you can use a package disabler from the play store. (Use search). If you just want to try it out first just lift the USB port on the gear vr and sneak your phone under it - a little loose, but works.
[Samsung Gear VR] johnboywilson:
Ace that's great thank you. I have a package disabler already that I use to stop the game stuff running as the picture is crap!! Thank you ever so much. I know what I'll be doing tonight ?

I use MilkVR to watch all 3D movies. If you dont live in the US dl it though a proxyserver.

I'm having problems because I keep getting errors relating to not enough program memory because large programs haven't bothered to close.

On my previous XDAs I have had applications to make the close button actually close applications instead of just hiding them. The problem is, this was ages ago and I can't remember which I used. I do remember some had problems with the phone app though, trying to close it caused some sort of crash.

Anyway, could someone please recommend me a tool that makes the close button actually close applications, thanks.

If you don't have ATT sim you just can get an update. You need to go to the general section there is a thread for phone update without sim.

Here is the OP instructions

"After much searching, I found the way to upgrade to Android 6.0 MM without a sim, the solution came from a group of reddit, a guy named rmrf.

Before you started this steps , its important that you have on 10o Version if you are on 10i or other , y recommend you flash 10o first ,Guide Here

1. Download the Android 6.0 MM OTA file, Thanks to Shinji257 or here(Mirror)

2.Unzip the file, and you get a dlpkgfile file rename it to 20N.up

3.Copy 20N.up file to /sdcard/SoftwareUpdate/ path on internal memory phone not external SD card (if folder doesn't exist, just create it)

4. Connected the phone with USB Debugging Activated , open a new CMD window and run

check if you device appear listed

Run this:

4.Run this command in adb shell:

Update should now start.

Do not forget to give thanks. :good:

Hi ! Someone know anything about it ? Asus gonna release Android Marshmallow on Zenfone 2, and the GPU (PowerVR G6430) is compatible with this new api but do you think they gonna release this update with last build of android with Vulkan ? (Google announced this API will be compatible Marshmallow.)

Vulkan really increase performances with our GPU (PowerVR G6430) :

No, asus has never been good with optimizing gpu,camera

But they are changing , who knows. , well if 820 also supports it, because s7 has it why does not lg g5 and mi5 have it.

Either its quite new to do developers or they aint interested in it

I suppose this opens up a lot more for smartphones in terms of graphic capabilities, hope soon I will be able to play a ported version of Star Wars Battlefront 2 on my phone (yeah I could use the PSP version but that version of the game sucks). :)

And yes more than likely Vulkan support is coming in the Marshmallow update.
[ZenFone 2 General] davidmpereira:
hi, I'm very interested in everything about vulkan since i could see some videos about it. But my knowledge about api, android and rom's is not that good, so i would thank you if i could get some answers.

1 - Is this implementation of API a work for ASUS or Intel?

2 - Since i saw that PowerVR Rogue has now SDK(i dont know what it is) for Vulkan, Is ANYONE able to make a custom rom that could use Vulkan?

3 - I've heard that Android N will have native support for Vulkan. Does it mean that if i download a custom rom, like a cyanogenmod, for Android N to my Zenfone 2 i will have the benefits of using Vulkan?

4 - Does anyone know if that Galasy S7 that had 135k+ on antutu was using Vulkan? Because my Zenfone 2 is a great phone and only scores 65k, it's scary to thing that a S7 should have more than the double of hardware capacity that my Zenfone has. I thing that should be because of vulkan, but i need to hear it from someone who knows what's talking.

I hope to get answers for this questions. Thank you all.
[ZenFone 2 General] ElmirBuljubasic:
1) Both Asus need intel to update graphics drivers to implement Vulkan

2) Nope still need drivers

3) This means it's implemented but not compatible with every phone running N version as SoC makers and OEMs need to update the source code

4) Galaxy s7 is superior in any way to zenfone 2 this means gpu and cpu. Vulkan api will start working only on some games if implemented if the devs don't use vulkan api then this means no visual/performance upgrade.
[ZenFone 2 General] davidmpereira:
Thank you! So i doubt we will use Vulkan at Zenfone 2 =/
[ZenFone 2 General] ElmirBuljubasic:
Our GPU is fully compatible, it's up to manufactures to include it other wise it's gonna be really hard for CM Mantainers to include it even partially.
