I have Tablet ASUS Zenpad Model 001 , Stuck on asus logo,

also cannot enter to recovery option , possible fastboot only..

Also I have ROM : UL-P001_2-WW-12.0.1.25-user.zip

Possible flash it via fastboot , if yes , so whats a command ?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W3880:
I'm not certain but I think if you put the Rom into the root of your sd card it should auto install
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan T:

[Samsung Gear S3] atlas12:
So my question is basically will the future watch (or watches) from Samsung will be also using the Tizen system and will Samsung continue to support and the devices?

Or will it be like in other experiments where after a couple of versions the company moved to a different system and abandoned the old one.

I am asking this because i have been burned before with the HTC HD2 (LEO) that came with win6.5 and lost support after about a year (give or take) luck would have it that it could be outfitted with android and be used for a few more years but i don't think that this will be the case with watches.

So do you guys think that there is a future to Tizen and that the app store will continue to grow and improve and Samsung will continue to update the software? or will it switch for example to androidware next year and we might be stuck with a 400$ unsupported outdated watch that gets no new apps what so ever. (windows even closed down the app store for the win 6.5 at some point)..........

Hope to hear your thoughts o the matter before I go and buy one:confused::confused:
[Samsung Gear S3] tnt2sniper:
It's tough to say... We're in a very weird spot. I would guess the Gear S3 is probably the best selling wearable, most desirable and IMO, most well rounded smartwatch. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like developers are knocking the door down to create apps. The scary part is, the S2 has been out for a while and it doesn't seem like much has been accomplished. Let's hope that these developers see the value in the S3 and we can get some basic apps added.
[Samsung Gear S3] docfreed:
Tizen is an experiment - not much promotion by Samsung. The watch is a beautiful piece of hardware but as usual, Samsung is being devious - there is NOT 4 Gb of memory available but only 1.5 Gb - the rest is taken up by bloat - watchfaces that many won't use, S-Health that cannot be removed, etc.

Typical - they think they know what we want and never listen to customers - IMHO, these watches will (are?) not gaining market traction and are a solutoion looking for a problem to solve. Maybe some folks just want notifications, SMS, Email and not how many steps they walked today?
[Samsung Gear S3] steelersmb:
I've had my S3 for a few weeks now and love it but I have to admit that after having several Android watches, the support for apps is so much better. With the S3, you are pretty much stuck using all Samsung apps which sucks.
[Samsung Gear S3] DaveC1964:
Unfortunately it is not just Samsung that does crap like that (forced apps etc). Even Pebble had watch faces that you couldn't remove if you wanted. Most every phone/tablet has bloat you can't remove. I don't understand this mentality and why they won't let the user make their own decisions, I guess they think we are all too dumb to know what we want. Maybe users aren't vocal enough and since no one complains they keep doing what they do thinking everyone likes it.

I have an issue with the S3 where when not connected to phone I get that distracting watch icon that ruins the look of watchfaces and can't be turned off. I guess Samsung never thought anyone would use the watch without being tethered to the phone constantly even though they allow it to be used standalone. I suppose they also never thought putting a big white icon over the 12:00 position on all faces would bother anyone, go figure.

As far as Tizen who knows I guess it depends on how easy it is to port to it from android and how popular it gets. Apple watch OS is only Apple and they succeeded being a separate OS.
[Samsung Gear S3] InfiniteDrag:
I have been wondering the same. Whats the future of this platform? The gear s2 has been out for a while, and still pretty much the same. I mean not even google has any apps for tizen. What if this is a dying platform? What if once android wear gets next big release, samsung decides, oh we are done with tizen?

Welcome to Blackberry OS10 and Windows Mobile!
[Samsung Gear S3] atlas12:
That is exactly my point...

I mean the watch looks beautiful and I think it's one of the best looking smart watches out there, and I also love the bezel use.

I had experience with Windows Mobile and Windows 8 rt and this is why I am not buying the watch yet.

I don't buy and don't intend to buy a new watch every year, I replace watches only when needed or every several years and I am kinda of scared on spending almost 400€ ( I live in germany) on a watch that will become irrelevant and not useful in a year or less.

Just like the HTC hd2 was replaced by an android version after less then a year ....
[Samsung Gear S3] tnt2sniper:
A big problem I see is our community is very scattered. Basically, I migrate between xda and android central. I've had android wear and after having this watch, I really don't want to go back, but unfortunately will have to of the app selection doesn't grow. I use this watch as a standalone sometimes and I need certain apps.
[Samsung Gear S3] InfiniteDrag:
Man i dunno. I guess we probably have to just wait and see. If samsung sees money in this thing, they might invest enough. And who knows. Wish we had a way to attract developers for tizen.
[Samsung Gear S3] atlas12:
Thank you all for the answers

I guess that at least for now i will remain on the fence.....

I cant afford and nor do I want to spend almost 400Euro's on a watch that I will need to replace in a year because of lack of support and lack of development......

Disclaimer & Notes

I bear no responsibility towards any failure or malfunction of your device, use my kernels at your own risk.

I have no time or resources for support of any kind whatsoever.

The kernels are for my own use, recompiled from original boot images of respective roms, with the objective of prolonging battery backup, not performance.

The kernel features are compiled in only, meaning not optimized at all, you must use Kernel Adiutor to set the right options to achieve desired effect, see post #2

Yes, they work with XPOSED! (marshmallow only), but xposed modules should be enabled & configured ONE-BY-ONE-then-reboot-phone to take effect.

If wireless or sim cards are not detected after enabling some xposed modules, simply restart phone, or turn on-3mins-off airplane mode, or revert your xposed module settings (gravity-smart radio in particular)

EDIT: the settings above is not 100% tuned, but it works, there's no stutter either (during idle, 1 core should be 200-400MHz, by right, it should stay 200MHz all the time during idle, this is affected by timer_rate 46666, which does NOT stick at all, may need to set manually each time at boot). To get the proper value of timer rate, increase or decrease by 5000, it's base value is 30000, u can start from there. I simply chose 46666 coz it hovers less.

Thanks for this amazing work. Will flash the kernel right now on cm13. I tried optimising cpu governers with one of the guides in nexus thread, but they all proved vague as a simple touch is boosting all cpu cores to their max. Also 'stop perfd' command in terminal did helped a bit to limit it but then, the performance was stuttering. A big thanks for this kernel. Will flash and post the results.. ??

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
probably next week, no guarantees though.

I need to work on getting gpu idler functional. the idler works at all screens but not at screen off.

gpu frequencies

200Mhz, 310Mhz, 400Mhz

current gpu idler implementation which I tried:

during idle, the gpu should rest at 200Mhz, yes this works but the moment the screen goes off, it shoots back to 310Mhz and stays there.

try it on your current rom, at adb shell

cd "/sys/devices/soc.0/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/devfreq/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0" ; while true; do cat trans_stat ; busybox sleep 0.1 ; done ;

observe the asterisk *, that's the current gpu speed,

then try using the phone, touch menus, launch apps etc, see the * switch to different speeds, then check idle speed

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] heerarana:
Does this kernel works on Resurrection Remix (nougat) and XOSP ROMs ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] heerarana:
How is the battery performance ? is the kernel is specific batch builds like 22 Dec RR or can we use in any other batch builds too ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kunalchitara:
Awesome kernel man. Thanks. Been using it on cm13 since yesterday and I must say the battery savings were significantly improved without compromising performance at all. No stuttering at all.

Will try it on RR N today.

BTW, I have a doubt, in above_highspeed_delay and target_loads, the first frequency written in OP is 100Mhz but cpu frequencies in Z00L starts from 200Mhz. So what's the significance of putting these values of 100MHz?

I know little about CPU Gov tuning and I/O scheduling but whatever I found on searching over XDA for I/O schedulers is, Deadline to be better I/O Scheduler with following tunings-

fifo_batch 4

front_merges 1

read_expire 500

write_expire 3000

writes_starved 3
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
RR Nougat - yes, check 1st post under section file names & roms

The truth about kernels and battery life

Not sure about other roms, you could test the kernel via fastboot

fastboot boot testkernel.img

This will boot the test kernel one time, your original kernel remains intact, you could check the features & whether it works for you.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
I didn't test for optimized settings but just went through these 2 guides below

Follow these guides to tweak further the cpu governor INTERACTIVE

[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life!

[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! (Old Guide)

What I remember: 100MHz is for the transition of sustained cpu loads of at least 60ms before crossing into the next frequency, while 200MHz is the cpu frequency stepping. Honestly speaking, if you go through the 2 guides above, you'll notice our cpu speed range is too small (200MHz > 400MHz > 533MHz > 800MHz > 998MHz).

You could replace it with the standard speed steppings ie 200 > 400 > 533MHz.

If you find better performance of any sort, pls post the settings.

Z00L battery may not be enough for my usage, no matter what I do, and I prefer not to carry a powerbank daily. I might get a Xiaomi Mi Max 4850 mAh and use Z00L as a backup. the Mi Max is just $70 extra, heck a 10,000 powerbank already costs $20, and the Mi Max gives 6.4" IPS, 3GB ram, 2 more power cores, plus the big battery. I could use at least 2 days w/o charging.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
from my own testing of the kernel on Beanstalk marshmallow rom:

Doze settings editor didn't really give much battery savings. Using profile GeraldRudi, it forces the phone to go into Doze mode, 30secs after screen off. The value can be changed via settings 'Inactive Timeout'.

Max battery savings are gained from using Xposed+Greenify (donation package) & Xposed+ForceDoze. These are based on marshmallow, which allows installation of xposed framework & modules. Will test on Nougat later this week.

Will be busy for the next 2-3 weeks, so no more kernel rolling or updates, maybe after Chinese New Year.

Kernel support fast charging

Check nougat stock kernel using monitoring tools (see 1st post), evaluate quad core CPU frequencies,

- does all 4 cores stay at max frequencies all the time? Or they clock down & go offline during idle?

Personally, I tried to use nougat but just couldn't bear to go without XPrivacy & Greenify coz nougat don't support xposed

Will try to recompile nougat kernels again after Chinese new year, here's a brief workflow of what I do

Flash nougat rom

Extract kernel and config

Apply config on CM kernel source

Apply additional custom config ie autosmp etc etc, see 1st post

Compile kernel

Extract ramdisk from original kernel

Pack ramdisk with my kernel to produce new boot image

See? I use original kernel, then add hotplug & some other batt saving commits

Z00T? I'll see what I can do, no promises. I don't own Z00T, cannot test anything. U test and let me know when the time comes.
