[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticklefish:
I'm hardly an expert, and I am aware that I'm responding to a 4 month old post, but this is what I understand regarding deodexing and the phones performance:

A deodexed rom is one where all the APK and JAR files in the /system partition have their respective classes.dex files inside them. An odexed rom has those files in separate files, outside the main APK/JAR. These separate files used to have the extension "*.odex" but now can have "*.oat" or "*.vdex" instead.

Modding an odexed app is annoying as, if you want to change any of the information in the classes, you have to decompile and recompile both files. Since ART came along, there are some framework files that you can't mod at all without having to mod others at the same time. So a deodexed rom makes things a lot easier. One file, one decompile, one recompile, done.

Android processes the classes in the system partition only when the device boots for the first time (or if the relevant cache has been wiped). A deodexed rom takes longer to boot at this stage as it's slower for Android to extract the DEX files and process them. Processing an 'Optimised DEX' file is faster and more efficient.

Once the device has booted though, you shouldn't notice any performance difference from what I understand. All the apps that are running when the device is on (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, etc) have already been processed. The device can't start until they have.

The apps you choose to start, like a game or music player, won't be affected by the deodex/odex nature of the rom.

Again, this is only how I understand it. I'm not a developer and I don't mind being proven wrong. But I don't see how a device can boot without processing the system apps. It has to process the classes information to know what those apps do, and those apps do what they do as soon as the device boots.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dankchild:
Hey guys,

I just got a good deal on a Pixel XL for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales but I realized it is the international version. Will there be any drawbacks using the international version on AT&T in the U.S.?

Is carrier aggregation something to be worried about?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] woody1:
I see that nobody responded to this question. I'm considering buying an international Pixel XL also, and I want to know the same thing. Are there advantages/disadvantages with the international version? What's the situation on the bootloader, root, OTA updates, etc?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
The main drawback is no support for us CDMA networks and you can't use it on project fi. It will work fine for att, it has all the band necessary for LTE and 3G
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JMTurner1981:
All I want is to be able to use my DS4 Controller on my Galaxy Tab S3. How do I make that happen. Bluetooth and/or usb. I do have a USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 Type C adapter. Yes, "Something" happens when I atempt to sync it with bluetooth, but that "something" is not a functioning controller. A very similar "something" happens when I connect it via USB. I am moderatly tech savy, I guess depending on what your view of that is. SO, In conclusion:

(Galaxy Tab S3 + DS4 = Working controller)HOW.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JMTurner1981:
Update

So, I tried an old Logitec Rumblepad 2 with the USB to USB C adapter I used with the DS4, and still no go. D-pat and left joystick worked for direction, and the "a" and "b" button worked in the home screen UI, but tried minecraft and only the direction controls worked. Seriously, anyone have any luck with any controller at all? Anything? Any apps, tweaks, tips tricks? Anything? Why is the info for this subject so sparse and response to this question nothing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zeqay:
Have the same issue however after installing the December update the tablet recognises some of the keys on the controller and then lags after using
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Kizznyc:
I got a wireless usb controller

Should have gotten that one but I got the playstation type. Trust me Xbox type is way more comfy

Gutted can't return or replace and 10 year warranty so aw shucks hopefully it'll die out soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] JMTurner1981:
So yours works on your Tab S3? I was thinking of getting an XB1 controller, but my DS4 worked for darn near everything on my computer, but no dice for my tab. May have to invest in one though, because while I am very much a Playstation guy, I do really like the XB1 controller, and appreciate the PC integration.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Kizznyc:
Yeah it's only like 15 USD and it's very comfy no issues no bugs no pain

Anyone know how to identify which SIM an incoming call is from before I answer it? (I have to pay to receive calls on one of my sims -- international roaming).

There are apps for this case.

Has anyone used the Verizon holster shell combo? I've used them in the past for previous phones and they've been great. Am having a really hard time finding a good holster for this phone that is low profile. Has anyone had any things to say about the Verizon holster?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/google-pixel-2-xl-surface-holster/

I think at this point, I am down to either the surface holster or the Verizon holster. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? At least until zizo comes out, I'm just looking for a nice low profile holster obviously sideload would be preferable but not necessary
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
I have been very happy with the Seidio Surface case and holster combo on this and previous Pixel and Nexus phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
Are they sideload? Or top-load? I'm assuming that the holster has the same 360° swivel that previous models have? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
As the pictures in your link show, the Seidio holster is top-load and it does have the 360° swivel.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3muxd:
I have this model: Amazon Fire TV Stick With Alexa Voice Remote Streaming Media Player

What should I do with it? It's on the latest firmware. I want to install Kodi and the Google Play Store, but I don't want to void the warranty, do a factory reset, or not be able to restore it to its former state quickly. I know if I uninstall the bloatware apps they can come back through an OTA update, but the only way of stopping an auto OTA update is uninstalling an app which can't be reinstalled without a factory reset. So what can I do? Also, is it possible to install the Android TV interface as a dual-boot and/or dual boot lineageos or equivalent?

Thanks!

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] SAVVAS.:
Hello all as the title implies, I would like to ask if you are experiencing too this issue and if there is any solution. For me it is quit important as I can’t have all apps compatible for split view because the “force activities to be resizable” setting inside developer options requires restarting the device to work but here is the problem with Mate 10,if I restart the device all the developer options are reset, so I am stucked with this particular option.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tboy2000:
I believe all phones do this, not just the Mate 10.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] SAVVAS.:
Hello , no it is not. To force all apps to be resizable so that can all work in Split View you need to enable the option in Developer mode and then restart the phone to be activated. So the statement you made is not logical because that option can’t be enabled as after restarting all the options get reset on Mate 10 so it is a dead end. I have tested this on Oneplu 3 ,3T, Note 5 , S7 Edge and Nexus 5X and I had no problem at all.

Oneplus and Nexus are even on Android 8.0 like Mate 10.

This is very serious for me because you can’t have all apps compatible with split view like the other phones I had and I want this for work monitoring purposes ...

yes the phone is reset after it restarts. specially noticed this after changing the dpi
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] dmorales023:
I have the same problem with my Mate 9. Developer Options do not stick, but, there is a partial solution. Some of the options there have actual system, global or security variables associated with them. For instance I use tasker to switch on and off the "Mobile data always active" setting by running a shell command as "settings put global mobile_data_always_on 0/1" as needed. If you have adb installed, you can run the list command for each variable set, before and after toggling a setting, so you can later compare the result and figure out which variable you need to set. More info here: http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php...ings-to-use-in-autotools-secure-settings.210/ Please note, the use of AutoTools is not necessary as a simple shell task would suffice in most cases
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] DANIELWHITT:
With mine, if you turn developer options off, you are still able to change dpi even though developer options are off, if you reset when it's like that, it resets itself. If you turn them on and make the changes again and restart it will stick.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jhony_ba:
Same Problem with the Huawei P10 with VTR-09 8.0.0.371(C432) (unrooted with TWRP). DPI is reset after every restart. If there is any solution, please tell me, I hate it to use a mobile wich looks like the one from my grandma with that big font size etc.

Before the previously update it works fine btw.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Buslova:
Hey y'all....guess what?!?!?!? This ROM works perfectly on my Sprint sm-n900p Note 3!!! No extra flashing or APN setup necessary!!! I only flashed the ROM then GAPPS (I used open gapps nano fyi) and then supersu.zip. I had LTE, SMS, and MMS service IMMEDIATELY after the boot animation (slightly long on first boot of course since it's setting things up but faster restarts later) was done. As soon as the home screen/google account login screen appeared, I already had full LTE service. No extra APN fiddling needed. It's a true nougat based AOKP build and we have an official builder here. This is awesome news y'all! Show this dude some thanx!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
Just an FYI, no need to flash SuperSU.zip. AOKP has su baked in already, unlike lineage. Of course, you can flash SuperSU if you want, I'm just letting y'all know it's not necessary for su.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Buslova:
thanks man, i was just sharing what i did which of course is kinda my norm 1st attempt flash of a new rom i guess. good to know it's baked in as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
Yeah, baked in su is one of the reasons I wanted to get AOKP working on hlte. You can bake su into unofficial lineage builds, but you have to set an environment var, and I always forget. AOKP always bakes su in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kkslider1:
Is it possible to replace SuperSU with Magisk? Can't imagine rolling back to the former, given all the perks of the latter. [MENTION=3482571]shane87[/MENTION] Oh, and does the ROM support F2FS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
[MENTION=8576994]kkslider1[/MENTION] this rom doesn't use SuperSU. It has the su binary included in /system and uses Privacy Guard to manage su requests. As far as magisk goes, I don't know if magisk works with su being included in /system. To the best of my knowledge, magisk is a systemless root, with the boot image patched to include su in the ramdisk. As far as it working on a pre-approved image, I'm just not sure.

As far as f2fs, the support is built into the kernel. Beyond that, I'm not positive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kkslider1:
Thanks [MENTION=3482571]shane87[/MENTION] , you are a hero among the N900P community, as we have been stuck on Marshmallow for over 9 months. Would you be willing to reach out to [MENTION=4841524]trader418[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] to help them implement N900P cellular data support for LineageOS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] haggertk:
Umm, I'm pretty sure that N900P cell data works just fine. [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] has one in his hand, is a maintainer, is on a Sprint prepaid mvno, and has full cellular connectivity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
[MENTION=8576994]kkslider1[/MENTION] cellular data support for N900P, like [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] already mentioned, should be working just fine on lineage. To bring AOKP to N9005/N900P, I literally just had TeamKang fork the cm-14.1 branch of hlte, and changed all lineage references to AOKP, and fixed the dependencies files. I've made no changes to cellular data settings at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
Update

So I have been trying to bring more s-pen support to AOKP Nougat. The s-pen currently works as a stylus, but there is no support for using the stylus to input gestures like you can on stock. Lineage recently merged a few commits to implement stylus gestures into their trees, and I have been trying to cherry-pick those over to AOKP. I've got the changes to CMParts pulled in and merged, and everything still builds. But when I merge the code to actually make the gestures work, it breaks hlte builds. On doing some digging, it appears our framework is missing some commits that lineage has merged. And I'm talking a large number of commits, going back a couple of years. With everyone working on Oreo bring up, I'm just not sure if we can get it straightened out for Nougat. On the plus side, the commits are there for Oreo, so adding stylus gestures for Oreo should be a cinch, once we get Oreo going that is. Again, NO ETAs!!!

I flashed this rom to my sprint note 3 on boost mobile had to flash a apn to get data working but was wondering how do u change sound from audio fx to viper4android it worked but now it doesn't work and I haven't found any sound settings for that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
That is something you would have to ask the devs over at viper4android. That is a 3rd party add-on, and we cannot guarantee support for it. I've personally never messed with viper4android.

Well audio fx doesn't work for me it doesn't boost anything

nice work, +1.

i am having trouble with the back and option buttons not lighting up. i go to settings -> aokp -> hardware buttons and the default is 5 seconds illumination. and they light up when i am in that menu. but when i go to the homescreen they shutoff and never light up again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
Yeah, that is a known issue. We were just discussing it in the other thread under the international variant forum. I'm looking into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] loudawg11:
I am enjoying the rom. Would this rom cause an issue for a video doorbell to have connection time out? My Android lollipop phones maintain the connection with the doorbell but with this 7.1.2 I have to keep refreshing the app in order to stay connected. Just asking because I have missed UPS and FedEX deliveries, whereas my spouse's lollipop gets notifications. Other than that, this is my daily driver. Continued success and Long live the Note 3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
It could be something in the ROM, or it could simply be something added to AOSP since LL. Remember, in MM (or maybe N, I don't remember which lol) Android made some changes to the way background processes handled data connections and updates to save battery life. Basically, processes are given a window of time in which to communicate while the device is asleep. Outside of those windows, the processes are suspended to save battery power. It could simply be that your video doorbell app is losing its connection between those maintenance windows because of the doorbell's connection timeout. To test that theory, you could try keeping your display on for a while and seeing if the doorbell connection times out while the device is awake. If it does not timeout while the screen is on, it is more than likely the maintenance windows keeping your app from maintaining a connection to the doorbell. Most remote devices expect a 'check in' every so often to maintain the connection, and if your app is suspended when the doorbell expects the 'check in', the doorbell would drop your connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] loudawg11:
Thank you for the response. I did figure out how to give this app higher priority and it seems like it's helping it stay open in the background. Is anyone using a SmartWatch with this? I was married to the Samsung ecosystem with the Samsung Gear 2, Samsung Gear S and Samsung Gear S2. I had a LG G watch on hand that I'm using to maintain some compatibility. Please keep up the great work. I keep the ROM up-to-date with the nightly OTA download Zips.

How is the battery life on this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] superhulk117:
It seems okay to me. On my Note 3 in particular, I've noticed that when I'm using my phone consistently, its drain is like moderately to moderately-high. That could also be due to the fact that my Phone has the factory battery. :p (maybe my setup, too?) When it stays idle for a long time, it does well. (not draining unnecessarily). Even though it's my first foray into the realm of custom ROMs, I like this one a lot. (so far).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
[MENTION=3482571]shane87[/MENTION] So far almost everything is great. Thx for bringing this over to our Note 3.

Curiously, however, none of the Amazon apps will open for me - Amazon Drive, Amazon Prime Video, and Amazon Shopping.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] superhulk117:
I don't think I'll be of much help, but here's my input.

I'm able to open Amazon shopping and Prime video. (I don't use Drive).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
The Amazon apps began to work all of a sudden, beginning with the Amazon Shopping app. Don't know why it didn't work earlier throughout the day. Didn't wipe cache, reinstall, or anything like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shane87:
I personally don't have a Note 3. My wife does, and I use her device for testing lol, but she doesn't use Amazon apps, so I can't provide much input. However, on my LG G4, I do use Amazon shopping and Amazon prime. I have noticed that for a while after an Amazon app update, when I try to launch the recently updated app I will get a toast message saying the app is not installed. However, that usually clears up within a few minutes, so I'm not sure if that is related. Anyway, glad to hear they are working again.
