i Recently discovered that one of these radio roms seems to bypass the data metering that THREE aus are using.

I cant say which rom But i strongly advise all the THREE users in australia to try some roms out and check the usage on planet 3

ive been getting free data for three months now !!

some of the senior members might be able to explain how a radio rom stops their data metering?

Edit : Big thanks to Mr vanx your work is much appreciated down under.

Back to 1.47.30.10

Great Post, Thanks.

I had for a while the 1.54.30.10 radio. it was working well but had an enormous use of battery. now I'm back to 1.47.30.10 and it works from my feeling same but with much less battery consumption.

Current Radio: 1.47.30.10

Previous Radio: 1.54.30.10

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] roomtek*8525:
hello

i have the 1.54.30.10 radio, is it reallllllly advisable to switch, is the battery drain at least 1 hour different from the 1.47.30.10?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:
?

I do not understand to this - results of power consumption are similar in case of 1.47.30.10 / 1.54.30.10 - how could 1.54 consume battery power much faster? Could someone explain? Are these feelings based on some measurement? Are these results depended on GSM network? I also proceeded these tests and my results with 1.54.30.10 are similar to Mr.Vanx's...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] All-Purpose Guru:
Actually, the best measurement of battery consumption is the following:

UMTS connection in progress,

GSM call in progress (be right between two towers so the phone switches back and forth)

No connection, attempting to bring up UMTS

No connection, attempting to make a GSM call

You can do the "no connection" tests by sticking the phone in an unplugged microwave (believe it or not)

I'm a firmware engineer that works on cellphones, these are what we use to test power consumption.

This is the situation when the phone has cranked up the radio to full power to try to catch a tower. This is why your cellphone croaks quickly when you do an international (over water) flight and you forget to turn the radio off.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] All-Purpose Guru:
It is also possible that different radio ROMs burn more power because they were designed for different areas-- the .30.10 and .0.0 ROMs following a pattern would tend to bear this out--

For example, you need very high powered radios in the US for GSM because our networks are very weak; heck, certain HTC phones (the Faraday comes to mind) need a wart on top to accommodate a larger antenna in US-spec phones.

In Europe, for example the UK, you can crank down the radio power because there are lots of towers. Mountainous countries will also need more power.

Which ROMs are Cingular/ATT ROMs?

My Hermes (200) was originally shipped with radio rom 1.47.00.10. Reading this post I decided to flash my radio rom to 1.47.30.10 to save power.

But my Hermes consumes more power with 1.47.30.10 then with 1.47.00.10. I always charge my Hermes in the evening and dismount the adapter when he's full. Normally in the morning my battery shows 100%.

With radio rom 1.47.30.10 the battery shows 70%?

Is my Hermes different or don't you measure the standby time?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dinoalbert:
May I ask (sorry if this was already asked and answered before)..... if I just flash a new radio on my Hermes, wont it delete everything like a hardreset or a new ROM flash? Will all my apps/contacts remain?

Also, where can I donwload those Radio versions you recommended?

Thanks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] te_les:
i just flashed the 1.47.30.10 and the 1.54.30.10 and the battery drains really really fast less than a day.

does anyone know the different between x.xx.30.10 and x.xx.00.10 because i think it may affect the usage and battery drain. i live in indonesia and my previous radio rom was 1.03.00.10 and with that rom my hermes can last for 2-3 days without charging.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oleschuldad:
Convinced

Damn, I flashed 1.47.30.10 last Thursday night and used it all day Friday and this weekend and am completely flabbergasted. After seeing so many posts both positive and negative I was skeptical, but all I can say is I am impressed.

I charge my phone when I get home and it is normally 100% when I go to bed around 1130pm.. I used it for an alarm so it is unplugged and by my bed. I get up at 330 am and get to work by 430am. By this time my battery is normally down to 70%. By late afternoon(4pm) my battery is down to 30% and by 6pm I am getting warnings that it is going to shut down due to low battery.

Its 515 am now and its still at 100%. I have push mail that runs constantly. Use the internet occasionally and AIM occasionally. Friday I used the music player for almost two hours straight and it barely made a dent. Just to see how long it would last I didnt charge it Friday night at all.. Saturday morning I still had 50% battery. I finally plugged it back in the charger Saturday afternoon because we were going out later that night and I didnt want to take a chance of having a low battery while out. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs at work this week....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
I believe the clue to this would be to see which radio versions are packaged with the official ROMs for each region. Looks like the last 2 numbers somehow affect the radio ROMs optimizations.

To me it looks like:

xx.xx.00.10 radio ROMs are general use

xx.xx.30.10 radio ROMs are Australia-targeted

xx.xx.00.00 radio ROMs are US-targeted

And also while testing, the Band setting of the phone *may* have an effect on data transfer rates (and thus power consumption). Since most people leave it on Auto, it would be only fair to test it with the Band set to Auto.

Hey you guys everytime i try to install a radio rom i get this error, FLASH write, it goes suddenly form 0% to 7% gives error and then the device stucks on the bootloader screen.Im using the CRCinAU radios and his custom RUU to update. I tried FARIAS RUU updater, but same error. The radios are in nbh format.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Best practice, flash with your carrier's shipped ROM first then downgrade/upgrade your radio and then flash with your desired cooked ROM ... hope this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Been testing for a few days:

1.54.00.10 vs 1.54.30.10

1.47.00.10 vs 1.47.30.10

The .00.10s and .30.10s of both versions are very similar in quality and power consumption. I noticed one pattern:

The .00.10 versions tends to go to "G" (2G) more often in standby.

The .30.10 versions tends to go to "3G" mode more often in standby.

Naturally the .30.10 versions used up the battery a little faster.

The .00.10 versions consumed noticeably less battery for me - less than 10% of the battery overnight (around 8 hours).

Did some testings today (after I've bought a new stock 1350mah battery) with acbPowerMeter.

I've now my Hermes for a couple of years and always used radio rom 1.47.00.10, the radio rom that was originally flashed on my phone.

For the test I call my conference call number for 9 minutes and compares the power use of radio 1.47.00.10 with radio rom 1.54.00.10.

Results:

RR 1.47.00.10

avg 153 ma

total 11 mah

RR 1.54.00.10

avg 146 ma

total 10 mah

And then I decided to lower the brightness of the screen (now on the 4th point of the left) and turned the blinking service LED off with nueLED:

RR 1.54.00.10

avg 136 ma

total 9 mah

what about radio 1.47.00.00 ?

hello,

so 1.47.30.10 and 1.47.00.10 seem to be ok. - but what about 1.47.00.00 ?

this radio is my original radio. since i heard flashing the radio is a big risk - i'd like to keep it - if it's ok.

did anybody compare 1.47.00.00 to the others ? is it worth the risk to change to 1.47.30.10 ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CompCirus:
Hi,

so I have a peculiar problem. I have a sony xperia z1 compact and I forgot my pattern.

USB debugging is of course disabled and the biggest problem is, that there's no recovery installed, so going into recovery mode is not an option. That said I think it's pretty obvious that the phone is neither rooted nor has an unlocked bootloader. Oh and the reset button on sony xperia z doesn't remove the lock. I tried it.

So my question is, does anyone know how I can remove/bypass the pattern lock? Maybe by using linux or windows, but I think linux is more suitable for that kind of stuff. Maybe with adb? But I don't know how.

Any commands or something will help a whole lot.

Hi,

So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?

EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Blackwatch:
Please bear with me as this may be a biblical post :P

Around 3 weeks ago I bought a nice shiney new Huawei P9 Lite from CPW in the UK. Out of the box the phone was listed as VNS-L31C432B131 with EMUI 4.0 . The first thing I did was read all the various bits and bats on different threads about updating and custom roms. Then I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and also rooted my phone.

I was then reading about one version of nougart so installed Meticulus TWRP in preperation to install that rom, however due to working 14 hrs a day I didnt get chance to do it being so tired.

A little while later I saw a thread on updating to B160 which would then give me the HiCare update to B370 through OS early update.

So the other day I fired up Firmware Finder and pushed the update ( via FF proxy ) to the official update app and moved from B131 to B160 with out any issue. During the " upgrade " I saw no errors or warning messages and nothing exploded so I thought all was good.

The next evening I went into HiCare and saw I could update from B160 to B370, so I did and again everything seemed to go fine. Although at the end I had no root so my Viper4Android mod wouldnt work. No biggy I though....Ill just root it again and go from there.

I then noticed I was on build version : NRD90M test-keys and I had some missing apps ie themes etc

Also on my app drawer the settings Icon has a red 1 on it.

Most of my phone seems to work ok but as I am missing various apps and some functions are not working I have tried to fix it. I downloaded update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip but I can't flash it as I have lost TWRP.

If I boot with all three buttons held I get the standard software installation failed screen, even though I have placed the above file into the root of my phone, in to a folder called " dload " and into a separate " dload " folder on my external SD card.

If I press Vol up and power, I can get my standard recovery screen with the three opions reboot, wipe data/factory reset or wipe data partition

Pressing Vol down and power achieves nothing.

No matter what I do I cant get into TWRP to try and flash the above update file to get all my apps and functionality back.

I have even tried to go back into Firmware Finder to see if there is an update package available for me but I can't get that to work either as I get a cant reach the server error.

When I try to set up the proxy it is asking me to sign into my internet connection(??)

It seems I have somehow ballsed things up in an epic way while still keeping a semi working phone. So my only option is to take the phone back to CPW and exchange it for a new phone ( hopefully already on nougart or at least B160 ) however while ever I get the warning message about my device being locked I doubt they will take it back.....

So is there a way to be able to lock the bootloader again so I can take it back?

Or could someone please help me get out of NRD90M test-keys and get everything working again with root so I can install Viper4Android again.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Avsky0:
You should've tried searching. You can rollback to MM B160 using official Huawei guide. Make sure your update package has 3GB size, as it's the complete MM with all the apps. Then you'll be able to update to B370 through firmware finder.

[YotaPhone] traycold:
I made a small Xposed module that allows to use your own custom fonts on YotaReader, instead that one of the 8 hardcoded ones.

Usage:

install the Xposed module;

create a folder called "Fonts" on root of sd-card;

add your custom font (for the moment add just 1 font family; you can add more later) in the "Fonts" folder (do NOT create any folder within "Fonts" folder, just put the font files in it); for best results add 4 files for each font, corresponding to the styles: regular, bold, italic, bold-italic;

restart phone

open YotaReader

open font selection dialog within a book

now, you should see the custom font you loaded as the first font in the list of 8 fonts presented (replacing the first native font);

Limitations:

you can add a maximum of 8 font families;

custom font will replace the native ones of YotaReader, starting from the first one in the list;

not sure what font format are supported by YotaReader, but at least TTF and OTF should be supported;

Moreover, I verified that native fonts just have the regular style and they miss bold, italic and bold-italic styles. You can easily verify this opening the attached epub (I had to compress to a zip file, since XDA doesn't allow to attach epub files), that shows how is rendered the text in the four possible font styles.

Using a native font, you can see that a fallback font (sans serif) is used for bold, italic and bold-italic styles (while for regular one the selected font is used).

Instead, using a custom font, all the 4 styles are recognized and used (il present).

I also attached a sample font family (Sil Gentium) that you can use to test the module.

I tested the module on YD206 with MM firmware, anyway I think that it should work also on LP firmware since the reader app is the same.

Of course, you need Xposed framework for this to work.
[YotaPhone] glasseffects:
Thank you for this useful contribution. Just wish to know if it's possible to replace other fonts without replacing the first font? For example, is it possible to keep Roboto while replacing PT Sans.

Thanks!

Can someone please confirm that this works on the EU version (6.0.1-EU1.1.47mx)?
