[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceza1380:
People say thermal paste help them to get down heat. The problem is that G3 doesn't have any thermal paste to make cpu cool down. Cpu heat directly goes to metal surface so the phone can't cool down itself and sometimes it's so hard to touch it. If you have some hand skill try to apply thermal paste there are enough instructions and discussion in that thread. Also about battery, G3 battery is awful, it gets broken easily phone keeps reboot itself when battery dies, because it has QHD screen battery goes down easily. Make sure some apps don't stuck in background and eat battery. Sometimes when phone in pocket and idle it gets hot because some apps keeps working in background so make phone hot and eats battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuepudding:
Hi, I did a research about the mod that applying the thermal compound on the CPU die.

Many of people say that is effective to reduce the temperature at least 10 to 20 degrees after they tried that on their G3. Since the thermal paste is not pricey, so I can give it a try. I will try to do anything I can to calm this baby down. And in the future, I will never fall into the LG's phones trap again. (by the way the G5 looks very nice, but it still not my cup of tea.)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
G3 is the only LG phone I've heard with heat issues.

My old G2 (which is just as fast) never overheated and always remained cool to the touch.

With that said, I just did the thermal pad mod yesterday.

Used some fujipoly 11 W/mK 0.5mm and it worked wonders.

Idle is 35-40C

Normal temps are 45-55C

One day into it and the phone is cool to the touch no matter what I toss at it.

Do the mod bro. 15-20C cooler temps across the board also makes a noticable boost in performance and smoothness.

I really enjoy using the phone like this

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexavoodoomal:
I had the same problem. I found a youtube video, watched how to break the phone down, and applied the paste. It was important to use a generous (not an insane amount though) bead to ensure contact with the cpu and the frame. The phone temp at idle dropped ~15 to 20 degrees, and it never shuts down from overheating anymore. I can overclock the cpu with a custom kernel now, no heating issues at all.

===Solved! Just overwrite your old SafeStrap by installing the SafeStrap.apk included at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

and be sure to have BusyBox installed prior to overwriting the SafeStrap install, otherwise it will not actually work.

Unsure if related, but if problem persists connect your microSD directly to a PC and look for ".MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable" folder

===

So I had followed jkruse's locked bootloader guide to use a stock MM ROM with SS support. After using it for a while, I decided to go back to OptimalROM. Unfortunately, every reboot results in stock recovery. I found I can just flash a PB1 kernel through Odin and that fixes it for now- however on the next reboot BAM- back to the same problem.

I assuming this is caused by the current SafeStrap I have installed- which was linked in the MM for locked bootloaders thread.

How can I prevent the kernel from being overwritten every reboot?

On a side note, where can I find the latest stagefreight fix zip for 5.0? I have tried a few but they only seem to work on the 5.1.1 ported ROMs. Tried Stagefreight_Fix_02_Nov.zip and gets stuck at boot. Same situation with Stagefright_Fix_v2_i9505_i337M.zip.

Surely there is a ported fix somewhere for 5.0 roms?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
Can you not flash PB1 thru Odin and just root and install OptimalROM via FF that way
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokerbond:
I can always resort to that, but I am trying to figure out what it is that keeps reflashing the MM kernel on reboot. I assume its the MM_Safestrap.apk, but only [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] knows for sure
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokerbond:
It appears I was right on the money! After grabbing the SafeStrap.apk from the OK3-V5 root package and installing that version of SS over the MM specific one, I no longer have the issue! I also opened my microSD directly on my computer (not connected through phone USB) and deleted the .MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable (note the .) folder.

Hope this helps anyone else who downgrades.

Still looking for a solution to the Stagefright Vulns in 5.0 ROMs

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] newtype5:
hi

thanks for the zip! it's the only one i've been able to find since morphgear's website(s) appears down.

i installed it on my tilt/kaiser and it works good, but afer 5 minutes it stops and promps for activation on the (nes) module, so my question is:

how do i get activation codes if their site is gone?

thanks for reading!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
I can't speak to its functionality, but look here:

http://fms.komkon.org/MorphGear/

he has a link to obtain licenses - which takes you to a site to buy them.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] newtype5:

does anyone know what happened to morphgear.com/spicypixel anyway?

do you guys think there is a better emu out there for wm6 ppc?

thanks again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GuestK0050:
Better than what? Morphgear?

If it wasn't for the sound issue, I would say Smartgear is by far the best. It's ridiculously fast, so fast in fact you have to artificially restrict the frame rate.

Another bonus, the author of Smartgear is still making updates and is trying to fix the sound issue.

If that issue gets fixed, that's $20 I'll be happy to part with (or whatever it costs)

where do you get roms/games that go with the emulator?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] boomin:
roms

the best place to get roms is a torrent site...i.e. mininova.org

in fact you can find "a lot" of things there :)

I prefer to use utorrent, its tiny and VERY functional.

happy downloading and I hope you dont have comcast...

What should I do to the employee that smacked my HTC tytn II out of my hand (and broke it!) while recording him singing some pretty funny video at a kareokee bar? As I am sitting here trying to get back to normal with the p.o.s. ATT Tilt...?? any suggestions? besides the obvious of making him buy the tilt...

What is a NES emulator

I know it's a dumb question for you guys but everyone has to start somewhere

THX - JG
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johnannie:
NES = Nintendo Entertainment System. An NES emulator emulates the NES console system so you can play the old games on your PPC/smartphone/PC.

does anyone know why pocketnester crashes when I try to load a rom? i've tried changing all the settings except gapi, it won't let me uncheck that one.

There is a new version of smartgear out 1.04 several fixes, works fine for me :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KyleK29:
Sound issues still aren't fixed though. And is there any way to make the screen bigger in landscape? I noticed it just rotates it, doesn't make it bigger (despite the 150% setting or FittoWin).

I used PocketNESterPlus successfully on the tilt without issue, but when I changed ROM's (updated to a new Dutty's), it stopped working in landscape. Never could figure it out. It kicked butt when it did work though (fullscreen, good sound, good speed).

This is my default emulator now. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] BatDroid:
kinda like BlueStack?
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Yes, it's an Android virtual machine, similar to BlueStaccks,. We have compared the benchmark scores, and Leapdroid is the best on market, please give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
We have much better architecture and technologies compared to others, and feel confident to come out as #1 Android emulator. We have a new OpenGL forwarding technology, called LeapGL, and a virtual fiber between android vm and the host machine, which results in ultra high performance. The benchmark scores we got from our vm is very close to native execution speed.

We have github account here, will release some source code.

https://github.com/leapdroid
[Android Apps and Games] outrain:
look forward to Linux version.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Yes, we are working on a Linux version too.

To give you some ideas on our performance, we run BlueStacks and our Leapdroid on the same physical PC, with exactly same configurations. We use AnTuTu 6.0, and the scores are shown in the attached images. The larger the score is, the better the performance is.

it's 156141 (LeapDroid) vs 122794 (BlueStacks)
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 1890170:
WTF? The installer provided stucks at 0
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Sorry about that, our developer is looking into the issue. Can you try installing again? Also check if the md5 matches.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
It's an offline installer, suppose not downloading anything during installation, so that progress bar is misleading, can you check if the file size is around 245MB?
[Android Apps and Games] ImageCraft:
would be nice if the installer says/ask where you're installing to instead of just installing. i also get an empty folder with unreadable symbol after its done installing that look like this C:\Users\SPeciaL\Desktop\ĸ‚⿝矨搦\Leapdroid\VM

can i delete it?
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Yes, you can delete that weird folder.

Look like the bug is to do with self extracting, can you put the exe file to a folder that you have write permission?

We wil release a new version next week.
[Android Apps and Games] ImageCraft:
? the exe is on desktop and i believe i have write permission?. i checked the properties and all it's not "read only" if thats what you meant. besides the weird installation there's also sound lag and kind of felt like echo. the graphic also isn't as clear as bluestack (i used it before it always stuck initializing) and memu.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 1890170:
1st

tried to find and remove all traces of LeapDroid: don't know whether was 100% successful.

2nd

ran installer again. Got error message

but the mentioned folder doesn't exist.

I gave up wasting my time with LeapDroid ...
[Android Apps and Games] rumbla:
Suggestion:

Please, I believe the user should always have the choice to avoid "installations", therefore, I'm asking for "Leapdroid-Portable" version.

Such version should always be released alongside the major Leapdroid releases.

When I say "Portable", I mean a self-contained directory with all the settings/things/other you need to run Leapdroid (so, your android emulator can become really portable....aka fully contained on your beloved USB-DataKey).

No weird directories spread on your disks, no infinite amount of obscure registry-keys, no problems when trying to uninstall/reinstall....

....just a directory, full of your stuff.

As jwoegerbauer pointed out, the uninstall process is always a sensitive matter.

What's easier than uninstalling just "deleting" a folder?
[Android Apps and Games] ImageCraft:
some more experiments and it seems to be able to run apps that i couldn't on other emulators, fate grand order for example and also smoother despite sound issue (clash royal). i'd also like to hide sidebar if possible but nice stuff for first version!
[Android Apps and Games] gumiho232:

leapdroid can't run seven knights games and vpn apps

[Android Apps and Games] Auora:
Might want to move the shared folder default location to a more known place like MyDocuments or something. Couldn't find it anywhere so I had to check vm1.vbox and it turns out it was in "C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\yiwanzhushou\shared". It's the best way to transfer apks and other files to the Android machine, so it should be in place where your average user can access it quickly without much thought.

Already comes rooted which is always a plus. Would be nice if you could customize WASD keymap, but it isn't a big deal right now.

I don't play that many FPS intensive games, but overall they do feel smooth. Sadly I couldn't get シノビナイトメア / Shinobi Nightmare (jp.co.gu3.samurai) and Tales of Link (com.bandainamcoent.tolink_ww) to work (game starts but there's a black screen and you can't do anything), but since MEmu and Nox can't run them as well I wasn't expecting this to do it, so far only BlueStacks has been capable of running them without issues in my machine.

Also this is just my personal opinion, but I don't think the emulator should come with preinstalled "game installers". Unless you're being paid to put them there, I don't see why some random crappy games must be forced down my throat when I have no interest in them. Needless to say the first thing I did when I saw them was to uninstall them. If I wanted the game, I'd go get it myself.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Thanks for testing and those feedbacks. I hate installation issues too, and we will resolve them in next release. We take user feedbacks seriously.

These couple of weeks we have fixed more compatibility issues to cover more games, we will make sure all games reported here got supported in next few releases.

Please test more, and leave feedbacks. Appreciated!

[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
Which vpn app are you using? so it only works on android phones, not on tablets? Our vm is actually configured as both a phone and a tablet. You can try to change the resolution, go to Settings > Display > Portrait > Resolution, choose the one with width is less than height.
[Android Apps and Games] iRoxas1:
oh it's not that it works only on tablets, it's just a separate issue i'm having. the VPN app i'm talking about is psiphon and it closes every time i try to run it. i think only the old version works but i'd like to use the new version because i heard it had speed improvements
[Android Apps and Games] :
A VPN software - it doesn't matter which one - is dependant on the speed of your PC's connection to the Internet. Whatever the speed of the connection is, the VPN software cannot be faster. In fact you should expect a small loss in speed when connecting to any VPN service due to the software having to encrypt every packet of data. This loss should be small, usually 10-20% when compared with your connection without a VPN.

[Android Apps and Games] xlen:
If you made it go in native environment it would give you about 60-80% of PC hardware full capabilities, in place of 30-40% current and would add a lot of things, and wouldn't waste resources on keeping emulator running instead by running direct translator, of course it would require hell a lot of work, but in the end it would be capable of things that wine for Linux is capable of(in similarities)
