[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnPyn:
Hi everyone, so I have a big problem, my cousin's 8gb lg g4 has barely any apps on it, or rather apps that occupy space, the biggest takes something like 40mb and there's not even many of them. All the photos and videos are stored on the sd card, literally everything is on the sd card, still she can't update apps because there's not enough space and this is caused by System data which takes up 5-6GB. I have no idea what to do to fix this. Can anyone please help?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onotor:
None of the LG G4s have 16gb internal memory...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnPyn:
You're right I meant 8GB
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukem99626:
That's not the full g4 probably g4c or stylus

Indeed it is the stylus one

"For those who want the best."​

Hello and welcome to the fastest and sleekest ROM for the Galaxy J5 ever- SlimTW ROM. It's based on 5.1.1 stock but it has something changed that really makes it special. More on that later.​

====================================

Screenshots, Download links and changelog are in second post!

====================================​

****************************​

Features​

****************************​

-Debloated

-Deodexed

-Zipaligned

-Some apps look like Note 5 + Note 5 launcher included

-Excellent battery life and performance

-Extremely efficient install process without deleting all of your apps and data.

-ROM file size 230 MB, making it the slimmest TW ROM for the Galaxy J5 ever.

-Oh, and did I mention it's very fast? I'm typing this thread on my phone and it's just flying. I forgot about it.​

****************************​

Installation process​

****************************​

-Be sure that you're on STOCK lollipop 5.1.1.

-Download the ROM

-Take a nandroid backup (optional)

-In this ROM, you don't have to wipe anything, this is pretty awesome.

-Flash the ROM

-IMPORTANT!!! Flash the Kernel. It's made for J500FN but it should work fine on other models since it uses AnyKernel2.

-Reboot and enjoy.​

****************************​

Bugs​

****************************​

Bugs you may ask? Well, I'm afraid there's none. If you happen to find a bug though, tell me and I'll try to fix it asap.

****************************​

Compatibility​

****************************​

The ROM should be compatible with all J5 variants running on stock 5.1.1, but it's normal if you have some missing apps from your stock ROM, because ROM base is J500FN. If there are any missing apps that are important, tell me.

****************************​

Notes​

****************************​

-If you want better battery life, change frequency to 1401Mhz

-There's gonna be an notification saying that you have done unathorized actions, just ignore it or delete the Smart Manager app.

-Be aware that this is my First ROM ever, so its going to have imperfections. Please don't hate.

You use DJSteve kernel they will remove the link, and also can close your thead..

One more rom for J5 2015 and none of them good enough. There is not yet someone who can make a difference ...?

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Demicro:
He once said that anyone who mentions him or uses his source codes would be banned. That's what he said in his forum. Maybe it's because of the GPL ?

Guys stay on topic please. I know I've added the thread killer kernel (djsteve) but that's the only one it works with. Download it fast because soon it will probably be forbidden. And also, read the install guide, it's not like others.

Find Raheels kernel and see if that works on this rom

Raheels kernel works on skiesrom with all models, maybe you just need to edit the kernel

If it's stock 5.1.1, then why not work with stock kernel?

stock but deodexed and other stuff. please dont ask me to try differererent kernels, i tried all of them.

[General Questions and Answers] lip008:
You guys think the Play store will stop working for Lollipop anytime within the next 2 years? I shattered my G Flex 2. I scored another one new for $125. I used the phone for 15 months and would of kept using it until I messed it up. I can't recall being as happy with a phone with the GS3 being a close second. Biggest problem with this phone is the locked boot loader causing it to be stuck on 5.1

I have a Moto X Pure that was given to me with only 16GB of storage. Expandable storage for app support doesn't work on mine. I have the issue where apps are deleted after reboot. I can deal with the 16GB of storage migrating my media to the SD card.

I also have a Moto Z Play edition getting shipped back to me from Lenovo for warranty support. It's nice that it has fingerprint to unlock, USB type C, best battery life from my choices, and Moto Mods. The Z Play feels like it should have a 6'' screen in it for how big it is. I can't stand how the device has the fingerprint to unlock on front with on screen buttons. Who came up with that great idea? Still, I got the phone for a great price which would justify keeping it. Plus it's the only one that hot spot works out of the box without root.

The Flex has the IR blaster which I use as a remote to control several TV's, Slimport which I use to get around overusing hot spot. Slimport with bluetooth keyboard/mouse gives me a nice setup. The Flex 2 feels great in the hand.

Without rooting the Pure will get nougat eventually and so with the Z Play. A concern I have almost as much as the security issues with outdated software will be if the Play store gets discontinued on it. The old iPod Touch is useless now with not being able to get apps. Can you install apps on older versions of Android like Kit Kat or whatever?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] axelroll:
Hello, I've been experiencing some problems with my 128gb SD card on my HTC 10 running Marshmallow, formatting the SD card would solve the problem for a few days, maybe a week or two, but it always comes back. I've seen here on the forum that many people have also experienced this problem, but I've not found any solution (if someone knows one, please let us know), I will try to format the SD card to NTFS to see if that solves the problem, (my kernel supports NTFS).

Now my question is, has someone experienced this while running on Nougat? Because I know that is software related, not the SD card, but I've not updated to Nougat because of xposed.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dss8654:
I just got the update this morning and yes, my htc 10 keeps unmounting and remounting the SD card. This is very concerning to me.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] axelroll:
Thanks for the info, I'm sorry to hear that the update doesn't solve the issue. I tried to format the SD to NTFS, EXT3 and EXT4, but that didn't work. Fat32 worked fine though, I've not had issues in 18 hours so far, I hope it solves it because I was reading that ExFat was the problem.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grypho:
Hi guys,

I need some advice. I am about to buy one of those phones, I was firstly interested in the TyTN II because of the "Tilt" screen feature and RAM/CPU power but I was offered a brand new and activated Mogul with a carrier in my country (Iusacell, Mexico) for $300 less than the TyTN II... After reading all the problems with the video drivers of the TyTN II, should I buy it or buy the Mogul and wait for a better device from HTC in the future? I only have 1 day left to decide it...

Any help would be very much apreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] HarshOne:
I've seen one tutorial on developing custom rom from source. To do that device specific files like kernel, device tree and vendor blobs are needed. I have following problems regarding those files.

* Kernel - I have zip file of kernel downloaded from my device manufacturer site. How can i make use of that to build a rom?

* device tree - I'm not able to find a device tree for my device anywhere (github or anywhere), how can I build device tree using (kernel/stockrom...)

I'm totally new for this so I don't know if it is even possible or not. Or Is there any other way to create device tree.

* vendor blobs - I've same problem for vendor blobs as in device tree.

~ so from where and how I can extract or create device tree and vendor?

~ and make things ready to develop a custom rom

My device is HTC one (m8 eye)

It looks like the ebay store actually dropped the price since last week down to $250 Buy it Now. Just search on ebay for the 2017 a3 and filter by lowest price. The store looks legit.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Kianush:
Hey guyS

Ive been struggling lately to find a microsd card with good transfer rates to use on this phone it seems that the phone isnt able to get full speed

First I bought a sandisk extreme u3 64gb sdxc which after I tested with a1 sd bench I was only getting 30R - 30W

I thought maybe that was the card or something and went and got a Kodak micro Sdxc u3 64gb which is claiming to give you 95R and 90W but the intresting part is that after test with A1 sd bench this card is also giving me the same 30R and 30W

Any ideas?

Anyone tested any other microsd cards?

Maybe lexar will do a better job...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
It's hard finding a decent card just by looking at boxes (and due to how marketing is... cringeworthy).

I was running a Sandisk Extreme Prov30 UHS-1 U3 card in my PC when it had Win10 (but Linux is installed and can't see the iSCSI controller so it's going to go into the Xperia for photos/music).

On the tablet I was getting 60/230MB/s (write/read).

Probably the cheapest fastest cards you can get for the price.

I recommend taking a look at this:

http://www.tweaktown.com/cat/storage/memory-cards/index.html

Here you will find tested cards. Cards that are UHS-1 U3 will work best. UHS-II cards don't necessarily translate to faster speeds just because they're UHS-II.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Also word of advice: Don't buy memory cards off eBay.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] Kianush:
thanks for the info, yeah that's right but the problem is that I tried multiple u3 cards on this phone and when I test them with sdtool on android r/w speed wont go more than 30 each!

I know that the card isnt fake and all of them have an advetised speed of at least 50/50 r/w and up to 95/95 r/w
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] stanos4:
well, that's simply because the sd-card reader is only that fast. Have a look at review first maybe, e.g. the notebookcheck one.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] cmstlist:
Yeah I just bought a U3 microSD (Kingston SDCA3/32GB) which advertises 90 MB/s read, 45 MB/s write. My Androbench results were only 31 MB/s sequential read and 28.5 MB/s sequential write. In fact this measurement on the phone is slower than the U1 card I bought 2 years ago for my tablet, as measured on my tablet. I don't actually possess any USB 3.0 microSD readers so I don't have any proper way of benchmarking. But my results are consistent with the above experience - it doesn't test at any better than 30/30 on the X Compact. Can anyone provide a concrete example of a microSD doing better than 30/30 on the X Compact?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] volcolm:
Yeah, I've been using a Sandisk 128 v30 card and it's good for the camera, but not so great for apps -- I'm noticing slowdown on boot (the app icons on home screen actually silhouette out for 5sec then load). Telegram likes to cache the most, and all the others run at boot or in the background -- thing is I don't even have a lot of apps on this device to begin with (all of 4). This card gets much greater speeds than advertised when it's thrown inside a Lenovo tablet (it's using PCIe on the connector).

This is definitely a device limitation and not an SD card issue.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Accessories] cmstlist:
Hmm well that's disappointing. So far I'm only using the card for Hearthstone and images.

I guess this might explain why adoptable storage isn't available stock on this device. Even if you have a fast enough card, the hardware throttles transfer rates.

I'm in the same position... Not quite sure, but I think you can flash 6.0.1 w/o unlocking bootloader, then flasing TWRP for 6.0.1 and backing up keys, then flashing some rooted nougat rom and re-loading the drm keys. Something in those lines, but I am also trying to gather steps for this situation and am not brave enough to just go for it.
