[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyhcopig:
Title really. Trying to help a friend who's got a Straight Talk S4 stuck on 4.3 Going to have her try and KIES up when she gets home. Doing research now. This is in efforts for her to play Pokémon GO. Lol.

I did see a few options for CM, but I fear the options may be overwhelming for her. She's definitely not a ROM - Tweaker type. More computer literate than tech-savy.

OR.

If there isn't an option for something Stock ( And she doesn't want to go with a custom ROM / bootloader )

Is it possible to spoof the system version via Xposed or something?

Thanks in advance!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] S0wL:
Hey guys,

I am using on my HTC 10 this mix : ViperRom 2.5+elementalx kernel (stock settings)+ PnP&Thermals tweak in order to get a balance between performance and a good battery. I was wondering if any of you guys prefer to have the HTC customized to have a balance between performance and bettey , what mix do you use ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Robert's PDA:
Sounds PERFECT to me.

There are "other" ROMs besides Viper10?

Where are these "other" ROMs you speak of?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Using Viper10, Stock Kernel, pnp tweak. Personally the performance and battery drain is a little bit better than on ElementalX for my usage profile.

Used LeeDrOiD, clumsy Kernel & pnp tweak prior to this and had similar performance and drainage. Unless LeeDrOiD is really amazing there are some tweaks I wanted, that can only be found on Viper10.

Going to try MaximusHD at this weekend just to check it out.

In general I can't decide between those three, which renders me always flashing back and forth. It depends on what you're looking for, and if you are flashaholic. Generally I'd say ...

1. you want an optimized Stock ROM with APM and some old Sense 7 Apps -> go for MaximusHD, maybe combined with ElementalX and/or pnp tweak

2. you want an optimized Sense ROM with custom kernel, some old Sense 7 Apps, and some nice tweaks -> go for LeeDrOiD, maybe combined with pnp tweak

3. you want an optimized Sense ROM, with Stock Kernel, some old Sense 7 Apps, and loads of tweaks for literally everything -> go for Viper10, combined with pnp tweaks, and maybe maybe ElementalX

So I took number 3 without ElementalX and gonna check out 1 at this weekend. Man I wish MultiROM would be available so I could run all three options side by side, as back on my M8 and M9.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ibrokemypie:
I am running Viper10 with Elite kernel and pnp, although considering switching to Cleanslate kernel because of the active dev
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] King p1n:
Interested in more input.

Wondering the same, decided Im finally gonna unlock and root.

Definitely going to try out PNP since my battery is meh but in terms of roms and kernel not sure what to pick.

But will try stock with pnp first of course.

Question, I am running the PD2 Software Version but have seen the PD3 as a flashable. Is their any difference between the two? I tried to do some research on it but couldnt find any details.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] 954wrecker:
I think you might be confused with the older PC3 because as far as i know PD2 is the latest for our phone.

Ok. Didnt realize that PD2 was the newer. Lol was going off the numbers. Lol. Thanks for that.
[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dr_root:
The ext4 filesystem which is primarily used on android phones has a feature called "journal". This is a "file" which acts like a "middleman" when the system writes data on your storage. So before a file gets transferred to the destination a part of the file will always be at first in the journal. The benefit is that you have less chance to "loose" a file when the system is interrupted during the transfer (power failure, connection failure ...) because the journal has a copy of the part which was transferred to the final destination. So when the system restarts the device can finelize the transfer because the journal has the needed information, what exactly was transferred and what wasn't.

But this security feature has a negative impact of your I/O performance. And since a smartphone has a battery and soldered storage chips a fatal failure is much less possible than with conventional PC.

My mini ZIP disable journal on the data and cache partition, because these are the ones on which android writes data. On the system partition android just read the files and a journal will not slow down the read performance (which should be logical if you read the first part)

PS: should be logical but anyway, to use my script you need to have ext4 on cache an data. if you haven't changed the filesystem, then you will probably have ext4 because it's the stock filesystem for android

!!! if you have encrypted system this will not work !!!

so this mod dont work on OxygenOS because its has enforced encryption

the minimal binary:

#!/sbin/sh
umount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache
umount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
e2fsck -pv /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache
e2fsck -pv /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata

[OnePlus 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dr_root:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygoldfish:
Hello,

trying to help a pal bring his phone back to life.

Used the latest version of odin to flash an official rom. Odin showed that it had passed and flung up no errors. Boot loop remained.

Eventually tracked down the correct carrier via sammobile and downloading it.

If this doesn't work then I am out of idea's.

Anything else I could do to fix it or could it be hardware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Before flashing, uncheck everything in Odin. Flash rom and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery, factory wipe, reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygoldfish:
Thanks ..... The only thing I didn't try there was factory wipe when in recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygoldfish:
flashed the official carrier rom and unfortunately it still boot loops.

Odin is showing pass every time i flash a rom and no errors
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygoldfish:
Also it only boots into doing mode not recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazygoldfish:
thinking its hardware

now when i try to flash any roms at all its failing, even roms that previously passed.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunekainen:
Hi everyone;

Before factory reset I have a rooted stock s5 (6.0.1) with xposed installed. At first private mode didn't work so i apply the steps below

/data/data/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service (folder)

/data/privatemode (folder)

/data/system/secure_storage/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service (folder)

/data/system/users/privatemode_edk_1000 (file)

After this my private mode started working well until I do a factory reset. My private mode is not working now (saying failed to enable private mode). I tried the fix in the above with no success. No matter what I do, private mode is not working. My phone is not rooted now. Please help.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] raytracer:
Hi to all,

i have one MDA III UK, cid-unlocked by imei.check.co.uk three months ago.

After cid-unlock, i flashed B&B4.1 with some difficulties, resolved by running USPL first.

At the end of this procedure, i didnt have any problems in daily use.

Today, i try to flash Artemis Touch 3.0 WWE Full by Meschle: first step1 (USPL), then step2. My PDA has stopped upgrading at 60%.

I tryed:

- reflashing B&B 4.1,

- reflashing RUU_Artemis_TMO_UK_3.11.110.2_4.1.13.41_02.88.90_Test.exe

without any luck.

Any suggestions, please?

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jimandroidnerd:
So i had a hardricked phone(i thought) but than it worked again. So i flashed pacrom and it went in a hardbrick like state again (using twrp btw)I flashed it with nano gaps and the b330 package so you could get the fingerprint scanner. Than after an hour or so it worked again. Than i started running my battery low on purpose so i knew if it was just stuck or if it was something else. When my phone dies it will reboot again and work. And then i flashed rr with the nano gapps and the b330 package and it did this again, I thought it might have something to do with the b330 package so i flashed it without and it still did this. Then i thought it might have something to do with my twrp because i was still running on version 3.0.0 so i flashed the newer version through fastboot and it did this again!!

I dont know what is going on but my phone is acting really strange.

Does someone know of this problem or has ever heard of it or is my phone just strange?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] clsA:
I have no idea why you keep flashing the firmware b330 it only needs done one time :eek:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jimandroidnerd:
i didnt know that. so is that whats causing my issue and can it be fixed?

ps: now its doing it again cuz i flashed the newest twrp through fastboot :(
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] clsA:
you need to consider putting your phone back to stock using the dload / update.app for your version nd leave it their until you figure out if your phone is broken or not. flashing roms is just confusing the situation.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
Hi Jim, Indeed you need to fully revert back and see if it works.. i will provide you some links since we are from the same region/country.

1. Flash the stock recovery

2. Download this file and put the update.app in a file named 'dload' on the root of your sdcard.

3. Shutdown the phone hold Volume Up+Down and Hit the power button it should start booting and applying the update. Just leave it for like 30 minutes and u should be back at B130 firmware. Then you should receive a update for B140 and once you are on B140 u can upgrade back to B330.

Report back if it worked or you encountered any other issues!
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jimandroidnerd:
I will do that. thanks for the help everyone
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jimandroidnerd:
Ok so i have gone back to stock, everything is working again as far as i can tell. Just done it 10 minutes ago. I will test for a week to see if erverything is working properly. Is it safe to flash custom roms / recovery after i have confirmed everything is working properly? Thank you guys so much for the help btw, i really appreciate it!:good:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] clsA:
did you take all the updates to b330 ? if so you can pretty safely go to CM13 + gapps nano without any worries.

use one of the newest versions of TWRP

Do a factory reset and flash only CM13 and gapps

reboot let it fully load .. reboot to recovery / backup your fresh install to ext-sd

boot back to the OS and setup your new device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_OZONE:
Hello folks! Is it possible to somehow modify the firmware on the G935F to enable LTE band 30? I know that the G935W8 has LTE band 30. I assume that the G935F and G935W8 have identical hardware because they are both Exynos variants. Shouldn't that mean a software mod could enable the same thing for the G935F? Thanks!

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] kevin347:
Hello,

I bought the unlocked Moto G4 from best buy last week to use with ATT. I started the phone initially without any sim card in it. Next time i restarted i put in the sim card and it detected as att sim card and everything seems to work until when I notice that when i am in my office building I only see H and not 4G LTE. I had Nokia 640 earlier which was ATT go phone and i was getting 4G LTE on it in my office building. And I have also got LTE earlier on other phone in same building. I checked the APN settings and they looked ok since I am getting 4G LTE at most of the places. chatted/talked to ATT and they are of no help, they are saying that since its not ATT and unlocked phone, there is no guarantee that you will get lte everywhere and may be the antenna could be weak on the phone. But I am just not sure if I got a faulty piece or what. Since even the lower end lumia 640 was giving me lte in my office building. I am not sure if I should just return and get another piece or just return it for this issue.

Any help is much appreciated..
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There are several good apps on Play that show you cell signal strengths and such. Do a search in Play for "cell signal info" and try one of those apps. It will at least give you a place to start and a comparison tool to compare phones.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
I own a G3 and a Moto X Pure, I am on AT&T and have noticed the past few days LTE seems very... umm, weak I guess... at least in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, and my phone was falling back to HSPA+ way more often than "normal" this week (I travel here every week). I thought I was crazy but maybe there is more too it than that. I do know that AT&T has been doing lots of upgrades recently and rolling out LTE-A, or at least some kind of LTE upgrade, in some areas. Back home my LTE speeds consistenyl went from 20Mbps to 70Mbps down and 5Mbps to 25Mbps up in the last couple of weeks.

Best thing to do would be get a signal strength app, like LTE Discovery or Network Signal Info, and compare it to another phone on the same carrier in the same area and band (LTE Discovery will tell you the LTE Band you are using). Remember that not all phones report it the same, it can be wildly different, but it might give you some insight.

My point is, it may not be your hardware... and Moto's in general are known for really good signal reception. Just do some due diligence before returning it, but if you feel it is hardware, but all means exchange it.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] kevin347:
thanks guys..will try it out..
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] heap1:
Maybe I am being paranoid, but sometimes I wonder if cell carriers some how optimize their LTE signal to work better with their own phones. I have noticed this on T-Mobile when I always seem to get a stronger signal with a T-Mobile branded phone than with a third party unlocked device.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
LOL... No, carriers have the ROM modified to make the icon show more bars on their subsidized phones. They can't actually throttle 3rd party phones on the same plan as a carrier branded ones, legally at least.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] heap1:
That's what I thought., although I still wonder why I usually get a better LTE signal with T-Mobile branded phones. This seems to be especially noticeable since I have upgraded to Marshmallow. Recently, I have or have owned a T-Mobile LG G4, an LG G3, an Axon Pro, and a Moto X Pure. As a rule I have noticed the signal strength being stronger on the T-Mobile branded phones.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Actual signal strength or the icon? LTE Discovery usually shows the truth...
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] heap1:
This is based on readings from LTE Discovery, not the number of bars the phone is displaying. I suppose you could also come to the conclusion that LG phones have a stronger radio signal than other phones.

I bought my new Sprint GS6 (SM-G920P, 5.1.1) and decided to root it to enable tethering. I used Odin3 (3.10.6) and tried to flash it with a firmware I found in one of those “how to root SM-G920P”. I am not sure now if it was the correct tar file but it was G920PVPU1AOCF. So I did, Odin passed!, the phone rebooted, got the message “…seandroid enforcing…” which is normal I believe, and when it started up, the screen did not work! (I see my home screen but it’s not swiping and cant do anything). The Volume, power, home, menu and back buttons work, but the touch screen doesn’t. Also now it does not read the internet and phone signal. Tried to flash it with one of the latest stock firmware G920PVPU2BOF7, and Odin Fails! I tried factory reset, it didn’t work. I appreciate any help with this!
