No, I can live with them. GraceUX ported have more bugs.

No, its not that difficult. 1st you got to have an original Samsung battery, not a "cheap" one from ebay or amazon, that's the base of all.

Then you should invest in Greenify pro and configure hibernating of system apps&services. Then you should take i.e. Adiutor for kernel adjustment:

- limit clocks to a value you can live with

- adjust cpu gov interactive/no touch boost/multi core power save=aggressive

And that are pretty all secrets of good battery cycles base.
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Supplement for Greenify pro (I'm using v3.6.2 atm):

Use the new background type options for hibernation. Ignoring working state is needed to get play services down, ignore "background free" frees up ram. As long as no xposed support my settings as in screenshot. Last, don't forget the setting in accessibility options. Plus exclude greenify from battery optimization!
[Galaxy S 5 General] lollazzo:
Why aggressive doze is disabled?
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Something I can't remember atm didn't work good with that setting... will do some brain search...
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Discussed bugs with dev, possibly they might be result of upgrade flashing. Although I normally don't do that (anymore), I gave it a chance, because the dev posted it should be ok (with that updates) Will now set up cdDroid 3.7 cleanly and then we'll see if bugs persist. Here my latest achieved battery time with crDroid 3.7 (As you can see, I could have easily reached 7h and even more SOT, but went to bed before...)
[Galaxy S 5 General] lollazzo:
What kernel do you use?
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Stock, am no fan of 3rd party ones. As long as it provides enough customization options with Adiutor.
[Galaxy S 5 General] somebully:
Wow, reached 5h and 30m screen time on 20 hours with 6% left on stock rooted rom/kernel by following your tips v00d007. Earlier I only reached 3h 30m SOT. Went to bed with 50% and was 50% when I got up (sync off, wif off, 2G during night) but it went faster down after that with weird stats giving Messenger almost as much % as Screen, so I guess the percentage wasn't really true (with simple math at 50% I should have reached almost 7 hours SOT).

Will probably install crDroid later and expect to reach 6h easily.

[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Well, it's obvious that your biggest battery eaters are apps that I never use... whatsapp, facebook, shealth, chrome. And on top of list it's play services, the usual suspect. Try to include these apps to greenify hibernation although you'll then loose the instantness of messages. Play with greenify options for doze and gms wakeup.

I always do manually syncing, don't allow any message app to run in background all the time, because I don't need instant notifications on that phone. And don't forget that there's another routine for battery saving built in, battery/bat. optimization.

Also, don't forget to configure the auto starts, i.e. with "all-in-one toolbox" and in the advanced options of data security.

Last, Tapatalk isn't a good choice, too hungry for resources and battery, plus not very reliable as their severs are "unavailable" from time to time. I'm using xda labs instead.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Virallata:
When you say "all-in-one" you mean this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.toolbox.full

And GMS you mean the GCM push ?

Enviado de meu SM-G900M usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Yep, but I recommend to not use anything else from this app than boot boost and add it to greenify hibernation cause it's a bit overloaded with "features" that bother the user more than they help.

GCM push, but I just noticed this feature is xposed based and v3.6.2 can't communicate with official xposed from rovo89. But maybe you have a newer version.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lollazzo:
I use xposed+greenify with Crdroid and they work properly
[Galaxy S 5 General] v00d007:
Which Greenify version?? My v3.6.2 can't connect to xposed framework v88.1.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lollazzo:

After all, LineageOS / crDroid / Resurrection Remix is one base so how SOT and battery life can be longer? ;)

Somehow I don't want to believe that by actually installing crDroid I would gain a better SOT / working time on the battery than by installing e. g. LineageOS, Therefore, I think that the main advantage of crDroid over LineageOS are only additional settings....

:p
[Galaxy S 5 General] lollazzo:
With CrDroid average SOT is 5h. It is similar with CM13

I don't know the SOT with other rom

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic Stick:
Hello, recently my friend asked me for help with his Galaxy S5 G900F. He has bought it from Asia, it's fully stockish but it doesn't update nor through OTA nor through Kies, so he's stuck with 4.4.2. He asked me to root his phone and install latest stock samsung firmware available. I've searched and read the forums for a while, but I'm worried I might screw something up.

This is his modem version:

So, could someone be so kind to help me? What root method would be best for this problem? CF or something else? And can I simply root the device and straight away flash 6.0 rom through odin, or do I have to do something else? Also, what stock rom is best atm (region =EU/Poland).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootNightmareX:
Flash a rom for SM900F From Sammobile.com and then flash TWRP 3.0.0, both via odin, and then you can easy root.

Good luck

The list for the best 400$ smartphones is increasing quite fast. And the competition is getting tougher. My personal two favourites are the oneplus 3 and xiaomi mi5s plus . The only thing oneplus lags behind is the storage option and the camera. The mi5s plus has a 128 th storage for roughly the same price and feautures a better camera and snapdragon 821 . So guys I want to see what you think about this . And honestly would like some suggestions on what is the better one here

anyone who can help me?

my xperia c2305 got encryption unsuccessful. A little history from my phone, maybe a year ago I root my xperia c2305 to expand my internal storage I follow the instruction from information lord site, at first it did good but after maybe a few months my XC got bricked (only loading at booting and stuck there). So I decided to flash it to make it back using this firmware C2305_16.0.B.2.16 and after that I never root my XC again. Since then maybe after a month, or a few months my XC always got bricked (the notification first appear apps has stopped then when I restart my phone it will stuck at booting proccess). So, I've been flashing my XC maybe a couple times now not because I want to, but the problem is now my XC got Encryption Unsuccessful and I don't know how to repair it. Try to reset the phone but nothing happen

and if I tried power + volume down it gets like this

So what I have tried is :

1. I try to flash it using wmshua (usually i can flash using it), the proccess first got 5%, then 10%, after that jump to 100% and then failed. (* I have tried using another rom or pc companion but the problem always like that error in the middle of the proccess)

2. Cannot reset phone

3. Trying to boot to recovery mode using power and volume down but error.

Someone please help me how can I make it back like original.

*Sorry for my bad english

[Blu Pure XL] hume80:
Hello all. I am new to the forum and I do not speak English. Helping a google translator.

I have a phone Allview x2 Xtreme and a small problem.

I root my phone out of your forum and I fell android system, so I downloaded the go with your forum and installed. everything went without any problems with one exception. My problem is the inability to save any files to the phone memory. Downloading various applications from Google Play but do not sign up and grind endlessly. Factory settings restored more than once and not washed your any positive results. It seems to me that after installing rom should create folders, unfortunately, nothing. Computer and telephone see partition, but you can not have any utorzyć folders. Please help and sorry for my language.

Something else I noticed. On the phone memory is formed TWRP folder and no other can not be next to him to create. But in the middle of TWRP you can create other folders may help. Or YWRP adapted at each other partition memory and therefore does not see the android. Please help phone admittedly under warranty but with us is how to give the equipment to the site takes a long time to repair.
[Blu Pure XL] Obayne:
I'm having the same issue... currently looking for a fix. Seems that TWRP is incorrectly formatting the device.

OK, I had to utilize the Gionee scatter file and stock ROM in order to get the phone partitioned correctly,

I then took the BLU Scatter file and Stock ROM , boot, and recovery and flashed it afterward. Then did a factory reset. Took updates then rooted, again. You are left with the Gionee splash screen... But that's an easy fix.

Appears that the versions of TWRP posted DO NOT partition the phone correctly and writes a TWRP partition that screws everything up.

I will post links or you can find them yourself in the meantime. They are all on xda mainly on the thread about rooting... Odd thing is. Phone seems to run better than before... I would have left the Gionee ROM up and running if it wasn't 4G only... I'll post links later.

I already made this thread in the Z5C section and heard the reviews from there, now I'm willing to listen to the users of the XC.

I'm a user of a Z3C (had a Z1C before that). Now that Nougat isn't available anymore for our phone, I was wondering if I should buy a Z5C or a XC.

I'm not a stock user. I use a lot of mods and custom stuff on my phone. Stock isn't for me. I know that Z5C is more powerful and more affordable that a XC, but it only has one more year of support.

Would you recommend upgrading (at all)? And if yes, which of the models

I was thinking about waiting for the new Nexus phone...but damn, that price! Also took into consideration a Nexus 5X or a Samsung S7...I don't want a big phone, nor to sell my kidneys for a phone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] sfex3best:
I upgraded from the z5 compact to the X Compact and I have to say I have no regret whatsoever.

The x compact is like a dream phone for me it just fits in your hand like a glove. You won't find a more comfortable in hand feel ever.

Performance is also snappy and Battery life slightly better, camera and display. Everything is just a bit better than the z5 compact.

I was a bit skeptical at first upgrading because the reviews on every big website aren't great for this phone but screw all of em they really have no idea what they are on about.

I follow damir francs reviews on YouTube he's really picky but spot on everytime.

I'm telling you right now this phone is amazing you will not be disappointed at all go get it!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] alluringreality:
I recently reinstalled the stock firmware on my phone, which made me realize how much I use that would likely require root on the latest versions of Android. In comparison to something like the Pixel, the limited interest is one of the reasons I'm reconsidering buying the X Compact. I haven't followed the Z5 Compact for some time, but I'd guess there are probably more developers using that phone.

Personally I'm only going to buy from a major US retailer for easy returns, so the two phones are currently about the same price for me. I watched the Z5 Compact prices after it came out, but realistically I would have already bought it if I was going to. The following video makes the X Compact look faster than the Z5 Compact for the sorts of things I would do most often.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jvi3Om1zA4

I can't say if upgrading makes sense for someone else, but I'm probably going to replace my Razr M before the end of the month. The X Compact would be my choice of the two, mainly due to the newer processor.

I'd prefer a multi-network phone (CDMA compatible), so the Pixel and Nexus 5X are the other phones I'm primarily considering. In comparison to the Sony it's not necessary to mess with the DRM for bootloader unlocks, and they have a lot of people using them. If I can get over the larger size, it's probably smarter for me to go in that direction, because I want updated stock Android with root. If I could get an S7 for cheap on Black Friday, I might consider one, because I greatly prefer the S7 hardware over the Pixel, but generally it's too locked down for what I really want in a phone. Since I'm coming from a Motorola that had an easy to unlock bootloader and a fair number of people using the phone, the Pixel is probably most in line with what I'm used to for software, but it's considerably larger than something like the X Compact.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] realtuxen:
I too upgraded from z5c to xc and was very surprised by this phone, it is absolutely amazing.

although I too must admit I was a little skeptical because of dumb reviews that only look at no of cpu cores, synthetic benchmarks and fails to research deeper and take in considerations like the never efficient cpu core's (A72) and next gen gpu that might also look weaker in benchmarks, does not seem so at all in real life, contrary it seems to offer the same (+Vulcan) at much lower battery use. this might be cause the design of the soc is better than the previous series and the first 64bit cortex (A57) is notorious for overheating and throttling back which also hurts the gpu. what do I know? I know I love the z5c but the xc does excel in every perspective speed, screen, insane battery life. etc. :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Notchr302:
Agree. I'll say it again.. The smoothness and speed of the phone is superior to all previous zcompact models. Not sure what Sony did but it seems very well optimized.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] charliebigpot:
What do you think of the battery? If you had the z5c, how is it compared to that based on your experience?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Notchr302:
I never really check screen on times and all but honestly it's at LEAST on par with the z5c. I think the battery is more on par with the z3c as I thought that phone was better than its successor. I'm a VERY heavy user and have about 20 percent when I lay down to bed.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] charliebigpot:
Wow, the XC's battery on par of the Z3C? I had the Z3C and loved it because of the battery. Thanks for the feedback!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] 2me3:
The only pro's i see in the Z5c over the Xc is ability to root without losing TA, micro usb (C is too new, my otg flash drives dont work), and the lanyard hole. I'd almost rather go back to the Z3c with its magnetic charging port, that was such a great feature.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] phositadc:
A couple of observations: 1) XC fingerprint scanner is MUCH faster and more accurate for me than Z5C fingerprint scanner. 2) plastic sides of XC are more grippy than Z5C.

I prefer XC over Z5c so far.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5746995:
So I found someone who's selling the XC and Z5C around the same price. Can I know some opinions now that some time has passed since you got the device? Is it worth upgrading from the Z3C? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] bimbar:
Z3c doesn't get updates anymore, so probably yes very soon, if not now.

Also for that reason, I prefer the newer device. Also, the fingerprint sensor on xc really is very good.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] MechaBouncer:
I upgraded from the Z3C to XC. Not sure how it compared to the Z5C, but it's quite a nice device. The XC is a tad bigger than the Z3C was in the hand, but still easy to be used one-handed for the most part. It's much faster and instantly responds to input. It also has similar battery life to the Z3C on Marshmallow (nothing will be able to match what Stamina did back in KitKat and Lollipop). I updated the XC to Nougat as soon as I bought it, so I can't say how it behaved on Marshmallow compared to the Z3C. It also comes at the right time for me to upgrade since the seal around the USB port cover was finally pulling off on my Z3C. Not having to mess with that anymore is a bonus.

However not everything is perfect. Bluetooth connectivity appears worse than it did on my Z3C. I don't know if this was the case in Marshmallow as well, but it's constantly disconnecting from my car while right next to the radio and my Z3C maintained a much stronger connection. I also lost the ability to use an app for streaming my screen to my car over USB and am not sure why. I've gotten around that by installing an Android Auto hack on the head unit that tends to work better overall, so it's not a total loss. USB-C also required all new USB cables, although this isn't as big an issue.

So it's a bit of a mixed bag. It's positive for the most part and if the bluetooth issues get resolved then I will be much happier.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] darxider:
people who have been using XC for a while (longer than 6 months or so): is there any signs of the structural deficiencies that plagued Z3C such as the screen detaching from the front (or back)? i'd appreciate any input on this.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Halftrack:
Phone was released just over 3 months ago (end of September I think) so to soon to tell. I upgraded from my old Z1 Compact and haven't had any issues with the XC yet. Granted I have only had my XC for 2 1/2 months. That said I do work outdoors so my phones go through more abuse than what most people put theirs through. So far so good, time will tell.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] adrian_mtz19:
What about XC vs Z5C camera?? I am undecided to buy... Please help. :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] MechaBouncer:
That depends on whether you want to take 4K video or not. If the answer is "yes", then the Z5C is your only option. If you don't care about that, then you might want to consider the XC. I'm not a huge shutterbug, so I can't tell you how much better it is. It does seem to be faster than it was on my old Z3C and has a larger sensor (although it should be the same sensor for the Z5C). The video recorder also features that multi-sensor stabilization which is pretty cool. I just wish it also worked for still images. Still, it is an overall improvement if the lack of 4K doesn't bother you.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] adrian_mtz19:
Ok... I really appreciate your points of view, the 4K recording it doesn't matter to me, I'm just look after the best photos, I mean, color, resolution, withouth foggy efect or dragged photo :/ . I think XC is my final option!

Thanks!! :) :good:
