[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mb27:
IMHO, performance and battery life on the S7 with root are abysmal. I've been rooting my phones since 09 and I can't believe I actually use stock, unrooted Android on my S7. Root is that bad. The fixes made it slightly better, but it was still awful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] add144:
Buy an unlocked version or pass on this phone. I can speak for others but the lag and quirks on this phone after root suck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
The hybrid rom unrooted provides tethering and a clean rom base without a lot of bloat. You are SOL if you're wanting to run xposed and such unless you try to take all the steps from the tips and tricks to make a rooted s7 usable.

Hi,i need some advice...

I'm stuck choosing between 2 chinese smartphones,them being the Xiaomi redmi 4 prime and the Lenovo Zuk Z2 (4 Ram).Been browsing the web in search of comparisons between the 2 but there's not much more than specs vs specs.Can you guys give me some advice.Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] tuxdude143:
Firstly you kinda posted this thread in the wrong part of the forums. Mistakes happen though so you know for next time.

As for the question, I just got my Zuk Z2 in the mail around 5 days ago and I'm loving it. It has a great selection of custom roms, an active development team, good battery life, better specs than the redmi 4 prime (a snapdragon 625 in the redmi 4 prime vs the snapdragon 820 in the zuk z2) and is around the same price. If I were to pick between the two of em I'd say the Zuk Z2 is probably the one to go with. Just be prepared to flash on a custom rom once you get it since the stock ZUI skin that comes with the phone is... Pretty bad (I'd recommend you flash cosmic os if you have a hard time selecting a custom rom. It has overall the best balance between stability, speed and battery life and it's an officially maintained fork as well)

Hope this helped!
[Android Apps and Games] Bezeln:
Thank you for your help and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.The vendor said that the Zuk 2 has already cyanogen.Is it ok?Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] tuxdude143:
The Zuk Z1 comes with Cyanogen out of the box. The Z2 however usually comes with a special rom called ZUI. Some online (for example banggood) will flash a weird hybrid rom onto the device before they ship it but this rom is usually a bit buggy and flashing a custom rom is recommended.

To sum up

Zuk Z1 Default OS: Cyanogen Mod

Zuk Z2 Default OS: ZUI

You can flash a custom rom easily however no matter what os comes preinstalled on your Z2 so unless you really want to stay on stock you shouldn't need to worry.

If you have any other questions feel free to private message me. I'll try answer them as best as I can :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
When in first got ot back in the day when it was the fastest phone on the block it was really fast even after installing a bunch of apps. Now I just recently revived it with the lineage nougat Rom which is pretty nice but this phone can barely move. Granted ive installed a bunch of apps but most of them shouldn't be doing much in the background and I remember it having a lot of lag from the get go. I even have this memory manager app set at its most aggressive setting. Could it be an old tired hardware issue or has time really changed the perception of what is fast and I used to actually sit and watch this phone think for long periods of time between tasks? I don't think so. I think these things physically degrade. But idk. You tell me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ShaDisNX255:
At the time I also thought that this phone was AMAZING. Granted, my previous phone before Hercules was the Motorola Backflip so it all depends on what you are used to. Now a days, I think my Note 3 is blazing fast and my Hercules is just badly out-dated. I think in the far future when I update my phone again, I will look back at that phone and think it's slow too. Apps become more and more power hungry as they update and require more from a phone as time goes by.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Registerme:
I've followed the translation of the B&B v4.3 ROM a little bit and as far as I can remember it took about 3-4 weeks, starting with a team of more than 10 people, ending up with about 2-3 (?). It's not easy at all if you haven't done that before. Does any of you guys how to create a package, edit the ROM registry or can you even rebuild a ROM?

If not I'd recommend you not to make such a big fuss about that whole thing. Take the ROM builder from ppc-welt.de that DeepToneFN created. It's based on the German T-Mobile ROM and you can integrate packages in case you have any.

If you really translate the ROM there will be lots of bugs and people will ask you questions about it for weeks. If you have the gutts to do that we'll be happy to see this nice ROM in German!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] peter_fuchs1:
Hi Master!

I'm a nobody - ok - I understand! :mad:

But i think we have a right to create a thread of interested guys?

Otherwise it looks like the days before 1989.... :eek:

If nobody is interested in this,

I think nobody will read it and - just forget it...

But if there grows a greater interest, it could be a start of a knowing team.

Maybe somebody wants to join or support such a team. Why shouldn't we give them a platform to do that?

But thx for your advise. ;)

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StereoSteo:
As the tilte says I have a broken Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It freezes constantly and artifacts etc and everything keeps force closing and the device just hard reboots. It's a hardware problem. The closest board replacement I can see is a USA SGP351 and I live in Ireland. Should this just work ok and all that should be different are the LTE bands? My network Meteor uses 800mhz and 1800mhz and I heard USA uses 1700-2000mhz meaning it will probably still work in some areas. I'm not too fussed if it doesn't, but should everything else function correctly if I buy the replacement board Wi-Fi etc?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290179

Also, SGP351 uses slightly different firmware, than SGP321.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StereoSteo:
Alright thanks so the main difference is that I wouldn't be able to use lte. As long as the tablet still works and uses Wi-Fi it's ok. That's the closest motherboard variant I could find on eBay with the only others being the Wi-Fi only. Since mine has the aim slot I was thinking what if the hardware doesn't work properly with a Wi-Fi only board because it's different.

EDIT: The motherboard in it either has failing RAM, EMMC or the GPU is failing. Everything just force closes and it keeps lagging then restarting. It's a bonus to even get the option to have 3G just once it works on Wi-Fi. I took a gamble and bought it faulty for €80 but it looks like the LCD itself is worth that much so it's definitely woth repairing at €85 for that motherboard. I know the Wi-Fi only version uses a different kernel and firmware though the boards look alike apart from the SIM slot and mobile radio antenna etc. but I didn't wanna risk buying a Wi-Fi only oard for this tablet in case something doesn't work properly over it.

Everything else seems fine the speakers, cameras and battery etc.

most of those g3s from China are refurbished.. and the often has screen issues like that..

Stick with the G3. G4 is just a minor upgrade IMO, plus the G4 has other issues aside from the usual LG trademark poor quality solder and blazing sun temperatures on the Snapdragon SoC, like QC and some manufacturing defects.

So I've reset my phone as part of switching between SKUs and am now setting up my device, essentially as if it just came out of the factory. Unfortunately, Android didn't prompt me to restore my phone from a backup and I am looking at the prospect of manually installing all of my apps.

Is there any way to tell Android (Nougat, 4.27.531.6) to do this?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Htc backup stopped working ages ago and since then there has been no way to backup and restore this device.

Without making a backup with an app like "gobackup" then yes, you're looking at manually installing everything all over again. Be careful with which data you restore as you can easily cause a bootloop. I prefer manual setup due to the fact that restoring old data that may not be 100% compatible can bork the phone and make the restore process A LOT longer.

Googleplay won't detect due to the firmware being a different version from the one one record.

Im the only person developing a STOCK LS997 rom currently.. It contains the LG base apps and all the removed ones that we didnt get shipped with out model . Includes a ton of extras as well, alternatively we have 3 or 4 aosp roms you can use, but make sure you use twrp and backup your efs before flashing as it tends to jumble your programming up and cause issues.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
if you made it through dirty santa the rest should be cake. 99% of the issues i covered for people were

after going to AOSP and not having a backup of their programing info in their efs and having to find a way to

manually go in and fix each fd up piece.

The other is being on older software and downloading a OTA and rebooting with it in your internal storage.

This one causes a endless boot loop into twrp, so be advised to delete the update if your on older software or be prepared to

hit my post # 3 for fixes and be near a pc as you need to fastboot erase the fota and misc directories to resolve the boot loop. A twrp wipe will not fix it and restores etc wont either lol.

Otherwise theres now a lil over 100 pages of chatting and troubleshooting, fixes and things that have gone on, and mostly its all outdated as ive provided the fixes for 99% of everything in the latest version 7.5

Just be prepared to take 15-20 minutes for the phone to boot up the 1st time. My rom is deodexed, and the 1st boot is doing 298 things before you get to the optimization part. There is not boot animations as the phone will always have the static screen issue on reboots so i went ahead a placed a disabled command there to just save time/batt life. The setup wizard is stripped and only there to give you the notice its done booting and time to get to playing around.

Magisk is kinda finicy being its systemless design. It takes some time to get used to it, and be aware that some older apps that dont support exotic root or systemless root may not request root and not fully work. Titanium backup is one i know is getting attacked by googles app scanning and needs to have that turned off before it will work, most of my apps have a option to set "force root" so it asks for a root request regardless if it understands MagiskSu's root methods.

just some food for thought. Hope everything goes well, and there is a ton of people on the forum here that have great knowlege and can help with troubleshooting issues you may have
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bgibson72:
Yeah, I didn't have many problems there, although I did get stuck in the TWRP loop once. :)

I am on the ZV3 version of the software. I do have the ZV5 update in my cache folder--are you saying it's a good idea to delete the update.zip file?

That's what I like to hear! :good:

Appreciate the heads up. Familiar with the long boot process from DS, lol.

Magisk is a new animal for me, as I've had zero experience with it. I do have Titanium Backup installed, so I'll make a mental note on that.
