Just curious does anyone actually reboot daily? I reboot about once a week, or sometimes after only a few days. Sometimes I actually power it down while it's charging if I'm not using it, and it is almost charged, being off allows it to charge the last bit a lot faster.

Also, how could partial charges affect the software at all? The only reason I try not to is excessive wear of the charging port.
[General Topics] droid_god:
Rebooting relives the persistant load on processor and ram by cached data and background apps which keep on running after force closing.

Charging to full battery is good. If you charge battery partally then you have to keep connecting to charger frequently. Main reason is that when hardware gets heated up and cooldown faster repetedly then its damaged. Charging battery heat it, while removing charges coolsdown the battery. Repeating this process frequently will damage the hardwares.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I really think the difference would be negligible IMO. The battery is hottest at full charge and its been documented that running your battery always at full or always discharging fully will decrease the lifespan of the battery, so more frequent top ups keeping it between 50-80% or something similar will make the battery last longer. that would however wear out the charge port much faster and in my phone the battery is much easier to replace than the charging port.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

Also, how many years do you think it would take to damage the hardware the way you say it will? I have an original HTC desire still working after 6 years, had fairly frequent top ups especially later in the years. Also an htc one s that's 4 years old and a 3 year old Moto x. No hardware failures. It could be possible but I think it's very unlikely to cause failure that way.

My phone I bought with a broken screen, looks like it fell down a flight of stairs, the housing is all beat up too. When I replaced the LCD I missed 2 screws in the center and i was trying to pry out the motherboard with the screws still in there. Once I realized what was going on I was sure the phone was going to be damaged, but many months later it still works fine. Just as fast as new. Now my burned in amoled screen is a different story, but I try to ignore that.
[General Topics] droid_god:
What are you trying to ask
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I'm just saying I don't think the motherboard and circuits are going to degrade because of the slight increase in temp while charging. You made some good points in the original post, but a few of them I really doubt make much of a difference. If you'd said don't work the phone hard while it's charging (since that will increase the temp a lot more than just sitting there charging) I'd agree with that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barabba11:
Hi all, I've a Snapdragon 801 and I'm looking for an optimized player to see Full HD H265 videos. I tried with a 1920x1080 8 bit 4,7Mbps video but:

1) With VLC it pretend to play smooth, but it lose the colours.. I tried all combinations, enabled HW acceleration, chosed the mediacodec (seems better between choices), it helps only a bit.

2) Tried MX player with dedicated codecs. Enabled HW acceleration as well, It lags.

3) MM video player lags (the video works about 5 fps) but it looks the best way to watch movie.

Any chance? :) maybe trying other settings, or a player with optimized ARM decoding.

I want replace a file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml" in file Windows. But this file is in ROM memory. The phone write:"File '\Windows\HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml' is in ROM memory! You cannot delete it."

How to replace this original file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml" with modified file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml"?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fun_key:
You can't delete a file located in ROM, but you can *overwrite* it (it does not truely overwrite, because if you delete you newly added file, the old one will respawn).

To do this don't use the file explorer; use total commander or the great resco explorer instead.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rush242:
Stop the device from using a file in ROM?

So then on that note, how does one remove or prevent the use of a file in ROM? More specifically, it seems that HTC_Task_X-Button_2_0_30995_1 conflicts with Wisbar Advance 3. Often you end up with TWO little drop downs on the Start bar, one overwriting the other, and that can lock the system up.

Frankly, Wisbar is a MUCH better product, so is there a way to stop the device from using the HTC version and therefore install the Wisbar version?

I've looked, but I'm not coming across an effective answer.

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hicks:
I have "X-button" in the control panel. On the button tab at the bottom you can disable the quick menu on the today screen. Works for me, I use wisbar too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rush242:
Hicks, thank you.

But I'm a bit lost, "control panel?" Do mean you go into Programs > X-Button, and then open it up, and there's a tab at the bottom where I can disable the quick menu?

Because that seems a LOT easier than fiddling around with the registry or ROM or something.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GWelker62:
Obviously that is the easiest way to stop X button. For future reference, and as mentioned before, the stock file explorer won't over write some of those system files. Resco is my personal choice for this. Also, certain utilities are handy to have for shutting down processes. MemMaid is a good tool for that. I'm sure there are others. In short, apps like MemMaid and Resco File Explorer are essential tools to have for the type of mods you are wanting to do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] @fritzi:
you have to use a special exlporer on your pda like rescueexplorer or totalcommander. you can´t do it with activesync or the build in explorer

[Blu Pure XL] dionysust:
Phone charges and turns off if I use it too much while it's charging (5 minutes). When unplugged from the charger it happens too.
[Blu Pure XL] TJ Green:
Any solution? Having a similar issue
[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
What are you doing on your phone during the moments before it turns off? Was it warm/hot to the touch before it turns off?

The only thing that comes to my mind is that it's overheating from what you're doing, and is automatically shutting itself off to prevent any potential damage that could be caused were it to not do so. Playing a game can easily increase the temps because GPUs on MediaTek phones aren't that great compared to phones with Snapdragon , Exynos or Kirin SoCs, so it needs to push itself harder to get better performance.

Sometimes watching videos from a web browser instead of an application can cause the phone to get hot as well. In fact, my Pure XL shut itself down once after I watched about ~40mins worth of video on Chrome instead of YouTube.

Nothing else comes to my mind on this. Just try to let your phone take breaks every once in a while as well.
[Blu Pure XL] TJ Green:
My phone actually will usually not boot. It starts booting then usually shuts off as he blu bubble animation comes on. If it's plugged in it will go farther and sometimes completely boot but will shut off after a couple of minutes or if he phone is unplugged.

I've tried flashing the gionee rom several times and accidentally forgot to uncheck everything and have the gionee preloaded now.

OP, is this similar to your issue? Have you tried flashing or backing up?

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Also I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but when running so flash tool, the only way it will attemp and recognize the phone is by holding down power and both volume buttons
[Blu Pure XL] dionysust:
This is exactly what my issue is too! Well it used to be, but now it doesn't turn on at all. Charge or no charge. I have flashed my device many times, did not fix at all. Right now I'm actually trying to flash it again for the sake of it, but I can't access the boot loader for some reason.
[Blu Pure XL] dionysust:
I think getting a new battery would be your only bet.
[Blu Pure XL] TJ Green:
Thanks for the input and advice. I can't seem to find a battery for it anywhere. I spoke with blu about it and as I've seen before they want a receipt to verify proof of purchase date but the phone is still under a year old. I waiting to hear back from them now. I've been able to flash it a few times even tried using the complete gionee rom but still same issue. I think that it is a battery issue too. I love the phone ever since it was announced but haven't even been able to use it since i purchased it a couple weeks ago. Have you found a battery for it?

[Samsung Gear VR] night-mayor:
hi , i am quite like you in such regards that i just use my logic and self teach myself which sucks horribly , i reviewed your code and here is the catch , while you managed to come up with a brilliant idea such as mapping all keypresses then resending them via adb shell the catch is : on the device these commands are interpreted as if originating from device itself , not from a connected game pad/keyboard device , however GearVR service checks for a connected device to acquire its input and thus since there isn't any will neglect whatever the device is originating (that's exactly what the service is all about , discarding system activities) so you either have to find a mean to emulate a game pad/keyboard connection using adb or through an app on device's side . how to do that is beyond me :)

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

if you get to wonder why back button still work its most probably because its a hardware button on device (next to home button) so the service start assuming you are doing this manually (pressing it with your finger) and thus wont filter it out

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

ummm this kind of lit up a bulb here .. why don't you use "sendevent" instead of "keyevent" as these presumably emulate hardware keys , since there is evidence the service don't filter those out .
[Samsung Gear VR] liansk:
Great idea! I'll try capturing the event codes for the gamepad on one of my older devices, even though im not sure if the codes are universal across all device, and check if sendevent works. thanks and i'll keep you updated.

What does this thing called cluster plug provides?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
It disables the little cores and only enables them when the big cores become overloaded. On stock rom it gives extra smoothness because it use the big cores most of the time.In cm roms its enabled by default. Sorry, i forgot to explain :)
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Great work mate. Could you please explain that init.d stuff a little - I'm on stock rom/kernel and haven't got init.d folder so I assumed it's simply not supported, but when I played with the rom in Superr's Kitchen it was saying that init.d is enebled in the kernel by default. It's a bit confusing - does the stock rom have this support by default?
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
[MENTION=5725023]Sickaxis79[/MENTION]

I just found there's no cluster_plug in my /sys/module...
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
You can create the init.d folder using a file browser if its missing. Im also using stock rom and it works. Im using a custom kernel, but it also works with stock kernel.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Are you sure you are missing the cluster_plug folder? Im using stock eu 6.0.1.

Its located in /sys/module/cluster_plug
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
I found Kernel Adiutor can emulate init.d, so it should't be a problem to execute the scripts, but anyway cluster_plug is missing. I'm on XDRom which is just debloated EU 6.0.1. I'm wondering if it's possible that debloat could actually be responsible for this
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Have you checked sys/module/cluster_plug?
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Yes. No cluster_plug folder at all in /sys/module (see screenshot in my previous post). Weird
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Yes thats weird, but maybe when you flash squids kernel this module is/can be added.
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
That could actually be the case as clusterplug is listed in Squid's kernel features. I guess it means it's not used in stock one
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Strange yes and now i also start to doubt after flashing so many kernels and roms. Strange thing is it worked with all the kernels and roms i tried. Im now using latest coffee kernel with cluster_plug enabled and its working. :)
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Well, maybe the time comes to try Squid kernel
[X Play General] ViperX85:
What about those other scripts from power users thread, ghostpepper and ghostbuster?
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Same question here. Do you plan to upload your scripts again?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Sure, but then i saw phoenix kernel released a new msm hotplug kernel and was thinking to try to create 1 script that is compatible and work with cluster- /msm- or no hotplug at all together, instead of several scripts. Dont know if it gonna work but it can never hurt trying.
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
I can confirm cluster_plug is present after flashing Squid kernel. Wish your post.boot script was there for oc Squid
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
I Shall post the post_boot scripts tomorrow again since most asking for a permanent solution without launching the scripts manually after the phone booted. And thanks for confirming cluster_plug was added after flashing squid kernel. Will update the thread a little.
[X Play General] pijes:
Perhaps you could use this tool to enable init.d on stock kernel - http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/script-zip-init-d-enabler-stock-kernel-t3347724

you still need custom recovery though, to flash the zip
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Thanks, but i already tried to launch a script at boot and only a small part of the script was working. Found out its a lot easier to launh a governor init.d script manually using k.a. It only take 5 sec's and no risk of bootlooping and settings not applied correctly.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
The first is for all kernels that have the overclock and the other is universal and work with all kernels including the oc kernels. Its the same, only didn't specified the oc speeds since i don't notice any difference. Don't use this with cluster_plug or msm-hotplug or your device gets very laggy.

Ghostpepper oc post_boot = https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ON0D1zF_uAVUpPWnhKYmNvdTQ/view?usp=sharing

Ghostpepper universal = https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ON0D1zF_uALWJwaXNZWDdTdkU/view?usp=sharing

Rename old post_boot.sh to .bak (backup)

Paste downloaded file in /system/etc/

Rename the pasted file to post_boot.sh and give rw- r-- r-- permission and reboot.
[X Play General] ViperX85:
Can you make a cluster plug script that turns off big cores, so they can turn on when necessary?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
I wish that was possible, but it can only disable the little cores. Developpers like squid can do this kind of things im only playing with the kernel settings the dev's made :)
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Here's the universal "Ghostpepper" init.d script that works with all roms, which some of you asked for.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ON0D1zF_uAMkVUWG92QnM3Slk/view?usp=sharing

Same method using Kernel Adiutor and execute the script.

Additional: When you enabe the "emulate init.d " switch you can launch it at boot, but only use 1 script or it wil launch all the scripts you placed in the init.d folder at boot and it can get a bit messy. Without this a reboot or removing the script will revert the settings back to stock.
[X Play General] Chaninoza:
this cant be applied with the clusterplug on right? (because of the lag that will cause)
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Yes you can, but its better to set the timer_rate for the big cores back from 40000 to 20000 and the above hispeed delay also back from 40000 to 20000. This way the big cores are more responsive.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Updated.

New method creating a real on/off switch using new version of Kernel Adiutor using the new "custom control" section.

With the new latest version you can create sliders and switches to add extra controls that are not present instead of playing with init.d scripts.:D (description in first post)
