[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kaiory:
Monday I received my 8525 in the mail. After setting everything up and playing with wm5 for a few hours I switched to vp3g's latest rom. I've done some tweaks to increase speed but it's still a little sluggish.

I've looked at the benchmarks that Karhu has made but I'm still not sure which I should be trying. Of course I could install new roms and find the one I think is fastest, but I'd like to get other peoples input on this.

What is the fastest rom? I'm looking for something that switches from landscape to portrait mode the fastest and opens programs and menus the fastest.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Just try them all, you will receive mixed opinions from users that use different rom's. You are the only one that can determine which is the fastest for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] scousemartin:
as custel has stated ,try them all, thats what i did to find the best rom for me :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
Yes, again the same question just a different day...

Go with your instincts and try a few!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
Yes, try a few and then post back here with what you think is fastest to switch from portrait to landscape. I am curious.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Most likely one of the roms with a larger pagepool...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WDawn:
I've tried most of them and Black Satin and Hypercore SE feel the most responsive. Mind that you have to install your software on the SD card to keep your ROM snappy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Where you install software has nothing to do with the system response....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SH4YD33:
Yep.. Most roms when flashed are quick but slow down with the amount of programs you install/run. Just keep that in mind.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WDawn:
Weird, i do feel that the responsiveness of the system goes down when i install the apps in the phone memory. When i install them on the sd card the system remains much snappier.

That's my impression anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MistaRip:
schaps 4.01
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nvisi0n:
I feel the same on this also...

BTW, I have used both Schap's 4.00 Full, Scahps 4.01 Lite and VP3G's latest releases (3.62.3?) All awesomely cooked ROMS and props to the chefs, but the ATT official Carrier release seems to be the speediest of all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] myv6mustang:
Now when you say snappier are you guys refering to the program running or just navigating around the ROM? My programs i need to run fast always run faster in main memory. As for fastest i like hypercore and beleive it or not the New ATT but ive been throught about 12-15 roms and versions since ive had my device and the ATT made it the longest with about 3 weeks use. :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gman007:
Where do you find the time to constantly do updates? That and don't you get sick of reinstalling software and updating stuff? Updating this thing is a major inconvenience, especially when you have to scrap all your dates on the calendar. (I know Activesync is supposed to back this up, but still, what PITA). This kind of constant tinkering is what drives people to the likes of the iPhone (I'm not there yet, though!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] myv6mustang:
Theres always new roms on here. Most roms take about 10 mins to update. I have all cabs saved on my memory card so it only takes about 20mins to set up the phone. Its just that everytime i come on here there is a new damn rom :o . I have looked at cooking my own but have had no luck. I actully just flashed a new rom and was looking for another before i found this thread...i dont know i may need help...

I'm sam and im addicted to flashing...

Setup a free exchange account with mail2web...that's what I did, I have my gmail forwarded there- that way, when I reflash I just have to setup the connection and it downloads my contacts, appts, to-do, and e-mail...works like a charm for me...I also keep the programs I install in a folder on my sd card, and just install them quickly as cabs, whole process takes me <10mins no biggie :D

when i had my wizard i flashed at least 30 maybe 40 times (some repeats)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Only 30 or 40? Faria and I would do that in one two weeks, eheheh!

yes, the saving your cabs to your SC and having SOME kind of push mail service is a must, IMO. Indeed I'll pull off to the side of the hiway, whip out my Thinkpad and reflash another ROM when the one I'm testing goes south... and I'm back up and running 10 minutes after it's done with a months worth of emails from my Exchange server. (Of course me having one cab that adds all my settings including my User info helps :) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] myv6mustang:
Well i guess im alright...i hold roms for more than a week and i dont think i would get out of bed with the misses to flash a ROM...that was funny :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
ATT is the shiznit

Honestly,

and i'm quite surprised myself, but i do find the ATT wm6 rom to be the snappiest i've tried. My issue now, is that there isn't enough space on it. I wish there was someway i could get rid off all the ATT stuff.

what i'd get rid of:

Internet Sharing (never gonna use it)

SAP Settings (no clue)

Push to Talk (don't live in the US)

Customer Feedback

Windows update

voice speed dial

windows media player (much prefer htc audio manager)

real player

zip (since it doesn't open rar files and i'm gonna need winrar anyways)

error reporting

oh & i want the kaiser comm manager & dialer

and to get rid of the god awful noisy att startup animation.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] myv6mustang:
for the att rom i found that if you reset before it does the customizations a lot of crap doesnt get installed...mobitv...cellular vid, xpressmail, goodlink and suff.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
yeah i always do that, but i only have 40+mb of space, and even though i'm installing everything to the storage card i'm getting messages about not having enough storage space.

I have 4 skyscape/medical books installed

5 astraware games

microsoft reader

htc startup animation

htc audio manager

htc plus

htc camera album

s2u2

opera 4 mini

opera mobile

skype

and i've had more than this running on previous roms w/o any storage complaints.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] myv6mustang:
I also think with opera you have to be careful be cause it stores a lot of stuff in the main memory...if you edit the .ini file you can have it store a lot of the extra crap on the Storage card. As for teh other programs im not sure. I know sometimes if i have been running a lot of programs i will be down to almost 12-15MB of memory...once i restart the phone back to 25+.

If its just storage opera may be putting a lot of crap on your main storage

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] FinnFann:
I'm wondering if anyone has found a way around it. It occurs in both Nova and Smart launcher whenever setting any wallpaper. I'm using all updates.

imgur.com/a/Axr0Z

I've tried:

-Setting wallpaper using the settings

-Choosing left and right in Nova Launcher for scrolling

-Not using gallery to choose the image to set as wallpaper

To no avail. It -seems- as if emui is adjusting the wallpaper's size to take it's launcher into account. (removing some of the empty panels from the emui launcher made the black bar smaller)
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] DigiGoon:
Try these to do it properly, I'm also facing this. :D

Try applying wallpaper from the Theme app.

Try toggling wallpaper scrolling to Force.

Try restarting Nova Launcher.

Try clearing app data and then apply the wallpaper.

I have given you multiple options because for me everytime another option does the trick, and not the last one I used, so every time trick changes. But till now I have done the above mentioned tricks. :D :D

hope this helps you.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] cerobles1:
I would like to know if someone that is running stock ROM with Stock kernel and rooted to check what the governor and governor settings are

So, I have an Amazon ads enabled G4 that I got from a friend. While using CPU-Z I noticed that, at least what the app shows, is that four cores are always on, and two more turn on as needed. While the four that are always on are clocked at 1.21 gHz... We'll call these four "battery efficient" cores, it seems the other two that turn on as needed are clocked at 1.44 gHz or the "power" cores. At least for me, there is a total of four "power" cores but the extra two never come on.

In an attempt to save battery, I turned on the android battery saver on. With this enabled, the "power" cores turn off and do not come on at all. The four "battery efficient" cores stay on and what a difference between battery saver enabled compared to battery saver disabled. I also noticed all of these eight cores to have a minimum speed of 806 MHz.

So, I've been able to achieve over 6 hrs of Screen On Time. I could only dream of when I used my Moto X Pure Edition. I'm trying to figure out why the 808 while based off A53s does not achieve said Screen On Time, while a far inferior processor is able to do this with no problem.

Obviously I cannot root the phone to check it myself. Anyone care to discuss?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AbuYahya:
In stock contacts app on previous android versions was an option to not display contacts that were email only. I.e. with out phone numbers.

Any ideas how I do that?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] I S 3 5 0:
About a week ago I came up with this idea after a friend tried convincing me to overclock my samsung galaxy s4.

I've made progress, I cut up a heat sink so it could be small enough to attach near the CPU, but I still run into the issue of covering up the sim card, SD card, and battery.

I don't even know if this is possible, so some help would be good.

ask me below if you want a picture of the heat sink and/or phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Rhoban:
I do not think it is possible without covering one of those.

Most of the heat comes right from under the SIM and microSD slots, because, I assume, that's where the CPU and GPU are located.

Besides, you can't overclock it so much as to fry it.

The most stable I could ever run mine was at 2.1 GHz, anything above that would cause a pink screen of death. The maximum available frequency I ever saw was 2.3 GHz.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] I S 3 5 0:
Honestly I never looked into the details of overclocking or undervolting my phone, just the concept of it. Anyways, I already cut a hole into the battery cover and tomorrow I'm gonna attach the heat sink to the battery cover, so that I can take it all off without permanently obstructing the insides of my phone.

My plan is to snake some thermal paste in-between the sim card and sd card, hopefully transferring what little waste heat there is onto the heat sink.

Thank you for the tip, and I'll post how bad it all turns out when I'm finished with it.

Also, I was thinking I could use some leftover thermal paste to help with my G3 Vigor's heat issue, but that's for another topic
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Rhoban:
I would be careful with the application of the thermal paste. If it gets in the SIM or microSD slots it might ruin them.

You should also take some temperature measuring - before and after - then you have some comparison samples and you can see if there are any improvements.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] christoophat:
This sounds like an accident just waiting to happen...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nayuuuuu:
If you open up the phone, you'll find that the CPU is on the screen side of the phone, not the SIM/mSD-card side of the phone. Maybe attach your heatsink to the screen instead :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Thundercracker1:
It is interesting, though. I wouldn't want to stifle new idea attempts just because you're uncomfortable with it. I bet someone somewhere said something similar at the first desktop ovetclocking, or laptop overclocking. My only question would be why? What are you trying to run that is CPU limited?

[Meizu Pro 5 Questions & Answers] GuliW:
Hi everyone,

I have some weird root on my Meizu Pro 5 with 5.1.6.0 G. Root permissions are ON in the Settings/Fingerprint and Security/Root Permission/ . I have a list of apps with Allow permission, including SuperSU, BusyBox, Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator. When I launch any of these apps for the first time I get a prompt for permission and I choose Allow.

However, Root checker does not recognize the root and Kingroot failed to root the device. When I boot device into fastboot to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, I see “Fastboot [locked, rooted]” message. Whenever I try to use “su” command in the Terminal it returns access denied or something similar. SuperSU app fails to update the binary, although, ES Explorer has root access to explore files.

I tried to Reset to factory settings - same issue

Tried to Factory reset + Format internal storage and test root on clean device without even restoring from a backup - same issue

Tried to flash update.zip from File Explorer and from Recovery itself - firmware corrupt and does nothing.

Not sure when and what went wrong. I updated to 5.1.6.0G via terminal commands, hence I had su access with no problems.

Do you have any ideas? Now I just want to revert to the original state of the device and repeat the rooting from scratch, but unable to do so since any firmware I tried was "corrupt" and terminal does not let to use commands.

P.S. After "Factory reset + Format internal storage" in the very first boot of the device I noticed that Root access was already ON, even though I skipped the Flyme account login step. The phone is working fine - no bootloops, not bricked. Even Xposed is installed and working fine. The only issue is with the root, which appears to be incomplete.

[Raspberry Pi Accessories] nselectric:
Hello Everyone, We're introducing the piServer. piServer is a sleek enclosure for the Raspberry Pi equipped with an integrated power source, a powered USB hub, high-definition optical audio output, an internal hard drive, a case fan, and an intelligent power switch. The piServer harnesses the power of the Raspberry Pi, transforming it into a stand-alone appliance ready for almost any application.

The piServer has the appearance of a set-top-box that could rival any of today’s most popular consumer products. Inside the fit and finish of this enclosure is custom-engineered, digital circuitry that expounds upon the features of the Raspberry Pi. It nearly doubles the number of USB peripherals that can be connected to the Raspberry Pi and boosts the power supplied to each of these peripherals to the full USB 2.0 specification. Furthermore, the piServer equips the Raspberry Pi with a 1TB or 2TB internal hard drive. This enormous data storage can be used to store an entire movie and music collection or create a network file storage device. To complete your multimedia experience, the piServer enables the Raspberry Pi to output high definition digital audio through optical S/PDIF or HDMI. Finally, a PWM controlled fan, a heat sink, full access to the 40-pin GPIO header earn piServer the title of Ultimate Raspberry Pi Enclosure.

Please visit the NightShade Electronics campaign on Indiegogo to purchase a piServer or at the ns-electric website - they are ready to produce the piServer and have it to you in December 2016! (sorry I can't give links yet). Thanks for your time and your help to spread the word!
