You probably did yourself a favor by locking the bootloader for good. But that's IMO only. The updates from vzw come rather quickly if you want the OTA. If you can't wait then just sideload it from the Google OTA page. I like taking the ota since I can work on my device while it's updating and then a simple reboot to finish the install.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fletch33:
so i have a replacement coming next week and wasnt aware you could sideload an OS without root and from my reading you have to unlock to get that? i will have a new one to decide next week so thanks for the info
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
You can sideload an OTA with locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mcdonsco:
Been trying to find out if there is ANY real difference between the Verizon Pixel and Google Pixel and can't seem to find a straight forward answer.

I know the Verizon bootloader is locked and I don't care, I have no interest in rooting or ROMs. I know the Verizon version will also have an / or immediately download a few apps (3 to my understanding).

Other than that, is there any REAL NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE between the two? Are they the exact same model number? From everything I've read the only difference seems to be the sim that's installed? Verizon sim equals Verizon pixel even if it's a Google store bought one and if any other sim, a Google pixel even if it was originally a Verizon pixel????
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robocuff:
Except for the fact that the bootloader can't be unlocked in a Verizon phone, they are the exact same phone. Putting a Verizon sim in a Google phone doesn't make it a Verizon phone. The bootloader can still be unlocked regardless of what sim is in the phone. The apps that get installed on a Verizon phone can be uninstalled if you desire to do so. Sometimes Verizon phones will have a different monthly update than a Google phone but the only difference between the update for the Google phone and the Verizon phone is Verizon specific network tweaks to the radio. I have no idea what those so called tweaks are. I've installed the regular Google update on mine and have never been able to tell the difference between the regular Google update and the Verizon one. So, no, there are no noticeable differences between the two. They are the same hardware, same software (except for the radio tweaks and few apps that get installed on the Verizon one).

Long & informative thread. I'm shopping eBay and there seems to be a significant price difference with Google & Verizon versions. Just as the above quote, I too have no interest in rooting, etc. so I'm assuming the Verizon model is the smart buy, agreed?

Also, how difficult is it to unlock a Verizon model to use on a AT&T mvno? Thanks...

Thanks to all the contributors here.. :highfive:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jmartin72:
The reason the Verizon models are cheaper is because of the locked bootloader. If you truly have no interest in unlocking the bootloader, then I would go with the Verizon model. There is no real difference other than that. They are all carrier unlocked, so you can take them to any carrier, and they will work.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] 1stlink:
Thanks for the reply. So I don't have to worry if a Verizon model for sale doesn't specify 'Unlocked" as they are all unlocked. Do I have that right? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply. So I don't have to be concerned if the seller of a Verizon model doesn't state "Unlocked" in his sale as all are unlocked for use on other carriers. Correct? :fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jmartin72:
That is correct. They are all carrier unlocked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] coldsweat9:
Verizon doesn't sell their sims because they want you to buy one of their certified phones. When you bring a non-certified phone to Verizon you have to jump through some hoops to get them to certify the phone so you can use it on their network. I think these phones are pre-certified to work on their network, and if so, would make these phones more versatile, right? You could remove the sim before you boot and not get the Verizon bloatware, and use it on whatever network you want, and if you ever decide to bring it to Verizon, the phone should work without any problems. Right? I feel like this would make the Verizon model the superior of the two.

Searched the forum, but cannot locate the shipped T-mobile UK ROM for the Vario III. Need to revert back, as I wish to use Sky Mobile TV, and it only works in the office ROM (unless someone can point out how to get Sky Mobile TV working without reverting back? ).

Many thanks.

View attachment 3981763

MarioKart Double Dash

This game was a 60fps game, on a normal race it's too slow, on time trials however it's not too bad, average frames are around 30-40 fps.

View attachment 3981764
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
View attachment 3981773

Turn these on, just got a 10fps boost on double dash, very close to perfect.

Zelda does not have the same boost, in fact it dropped to 15fps..
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twinnfamous:
Very nice to see this I'm gonna give it a go.

Could we set our phones to switch force gpu rendering or something along those lines to get better fps.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Sort of, open settings from your actual phone and turn on high performance, search within settings if you can't find it. Proper path is in settings, development, high performance...

I'm on the stock kernel but I'll be getting others today to see how they go. By all accounts android N works a lot better in terms of speed than MM.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Another thing which I've noticed is that if you're phone supports open gl es 3.0 then that makes a massive boost to cpu speed, seen a couple of videos showing zelda running at a near solid 30 fps, Afaik the lost of gl es 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 are announced yet our set of hardware doesn't support 3.0 unless it's backward compatible, it supports 3.2 or higher. I need to read more about it.. Not sure if it can be added etc, seems like driver support rather than a limitation of hardware.

Will keep looking.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Ok so cm 14 is not a good idea. Horrific frame rate, not even worth tweaking. Going back to venom
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Just an FYI, not related to topic.

DO NOT FLASH A CM ROM IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN UN-ENCRYPTED, IT ENCRYPTS ON BOOT. Forcing you to then back up, format and then restore and then install your rom again.

If you're encrypted already then fair enough.

Nothing in the cm thread to tell you this it's just "Known"

Anyway, once I've got this up and running again I'll be going through several versions of dolphin and trying to see what yields the best results for Zelda and MarioKart.

Long day ahead of me

Also clean slate if you're on firmware but on N, flashing the same version as your firmware will not boot..awesome.

Guess I need to full update everything.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Reverted back to MM, none of the games run.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
N is definitely majorly more optimizer than MM for this emulator.. Getting playable framerates now on zelda and MKDD.. Happy days.. A few iterations of this emu and it'll be running very well hopefully.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Version I'm getting the best frames with above settings is 5.0-1480
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Been really tinkering with this emu.

Have tried every single combination of settings and in its current state with the newest version (v5.16XX)

Max I can get from onset Island (windwaker) is 15fps which will then fluctuate to 25 and will peak at the max of 30 fps but this is when it's not drawing the whole island, within buildings the fps maxes out immediately but having played this game all the way through I'm aware that more than half of the game is outdoors so 15-25 fps would not be acceptable.

Running MK double dash again, maxes out in certain areas, certainly not in grand prix races, just too much going on..

Need to find the cfg file and lower the resolution, perhaps disable sound, this will massively increase speed, it'll mean sub par resolution and no audio but it'll help with speed.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Cfg is here /sdcard/dolphin-emu/Config/Dolphin.ini

Can be edited with a note pad. If I manage to squeeze anything more out of it I'll upload it here.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
After lowering the resolution all the way down to 160x200 I've managed to get a stable 20fps in most places on onset Island, occasionally dropping down to 17fps but quickly going back up.

Going to get another kernel to see if overclocking will give me a little more grunt. Can't find the audio so can't disable it and may not even stop it from emulating anyway, so would be pointless.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Grabbed elemental with an OS lets see what this bad boy can do. Not expecting any improvement on battery life but I'd love a flat 30 fps on the windwaker. Here goes.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Ok so Elemental X has been extremely helpful, I've managed to get a solid 25fps from the start of onset island, it's running near perfect.

Grabbed ElementalX and installed their CPU/GPU manager from the playstore.

On installation of the kernel I went with the overclocked settings on both little and big cores and the GPU, hasn't really hurt the battery in any way so i'm happy with that for daily use.

On the time I want to run windwaker do the following:

Open settings in elementalX

Change governor to elementalx and cycle to update open governor settings and turn them to activate on boot

Go to CPU options and make sure 1728 on little is set for max, 2265 is set for big, all cores on.

Do the same with GPU options and turn GPU boost to high.

Once done, click on the powerbar up the top of elemental and turn on performance mode

Kill all open apps then in the phones menu, open: settings / development options / High Performance Mode and turn it on.

Also make sure dolphin is not being optimised by checking the option within Apps / dolphin / Battery / Battery optimization / Off

Open the emulator (make sure nothing else is open) and run the game, if it fails, press back and re-run, frame rates should be massively improved.

Bare in mind that this will decimate your battery, and i'm not sure when but throttling will more than likely kick in at some point too.

I'll keep tweaking but this is the best i've seen so far by miles.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Throttled after about 25 minutes then rolled back down to 15-20 fps. Need to lower the oc so it lasts longer. If I can get an hour then that'd be perfect.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Ok so the GPU, high performance modes, not needed, simply install elemental (i've gone with the OC'd version, 1.7Ghz) and turn on high performance mode, this allows perfect gameplay in the vast majority of places on the windwaker.

Only problem is the throttling, so i'll try the lower clock speeds of 1.5Ghz and see how that pans out.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
OK so played through for around 45 mins with GPU boost on high and high performance on ex kernel manager.. When I got to a large outdoor area the game slowed to about 17 fps. Christ, it's never going to be perfect on this device.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkyWo1f:
Do you have tried emulating Smash Bros. Melee? If it does I'm with you on the testing train :highfive:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dlads:
Yes i have and it does run, however it's not a respectable framerate.

Personally I've kind of given up on it, I can get certain games to run quite well but others are lacking the fps needed to enjoy them, namely Zelda WW, smash brother does run and can be played but any kind of intensive graphical bumps and you're going to see massive fps drops.

Over time the emulator will see improvements, the SD821 and SD835 will obviously help a lot but for our lonely old 820 i'm afraid we may be left wanting.

I'll check on it from time to time, see how the emu has changed, last i checked the above was all i could get, even when overclocked and for a limited time.

By all means try it out, anything you can get post here with your settings and or ini file so others can share.

Good luck :)

Hi guys, I'm trying to play MKDD, but there's something very strange with it. Before I start a race everything is normal, but when the race starts my course is black, like it's evening and there's no lamps. I can see the course on the right and the positions of everyone on the left, but the course in the middle is dark. I've tried multiple versions of Dolphin and MKDD, but it's always the same. Anyone an idea about this? (Don't pay any attention to the position of the controls, I needed the "start" button)

If u use zzmove governor disable all the hotplugs coz it use its own hotplug as anyone knows.

[Q]How i select profile from kernel tweaker app?

[A]You need to go in governor tunable-profile number and select the number of the profile from the list.

Zzmove profiles

1 ) Default -> will set governor defaults

2 )ybat -> Yank Battery -> a very good battery/performance balanced setting - DEV-NOTE: highly recommended!

3 )ybatext-> Yank Battery Extreme -> like yank battery but focus on battery saving

4 )zzbat-> ZaneZam Battery -> a more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving - DEV-NOTE: might give some lags!

5 )zzbatp -> ZaneZam Battery Plus -> NEW! reworked faster battery setting - DEV-NOTE: recommended too!

6 )zzopt -> ZaneZam Optimized -> balanced setting with no focus in any direction - DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it!

7 )zzmod -> ZaneZam Moderate -> NEW! setting based on 'zzopt' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online

8 )zzperf -> ZaneZam Performance -> all you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast - down scaling/hotplugging behaving

9 )zzinz-> ZaneZam InZane -> NEW! based on performance with new insane scaling active. a new experience!

10 )zzgame-> ZaneZam Gaming -> NEW! based on performance with scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay
