ENGLISH :

Hello, I would like you to help me with an error that is happening on my J7 Prime G610M / DS. I'm from Brazil and are almost releasing Android 7 here. But at a time my J7 Prime has the following error when I click to check for updates:

(((Unable to download update

Unable to update software.

A network or server error has occurred. Try again later.)))

I already installed the original rom of my country, I already installed Android 7 from other countries and the same error continues.

Help me please!

PORTUGUESE :

Olá,gostaria que me ajudassem com um erro que está acontecendo no meu J7 Prime G610M/DS. Eu sou do Brasil e estão quase liberando o Android 7 por aqui. Mais á um tempo meu J7 Prime está com o seguinte erro quando clico para procurar atualizações :

Impossivel baixar atualização

Não é possivel atualizar o software.

Ocorreu um erro de rede ou servidor. Tente novamente mais tarde.

Eu já instalei a rom original do meu país, já instalei o Android 7 de outros paises e o mesmo erro continua.

Me ajudem por favor!:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime / J7 On NXT (Exynos7870)] daviscabral:
Hi there, could you give more specs from your error? I also have a J7 Prime DS and recently went trough lots of different versions for fun - so far I am with crDroid, just sad that is abandoned in the 8.1 version that I am using - and with some small issues unrelated to your problem. If you already fixed it, please publish your solution, so other people might get the benefits from it ;)

--

Fala aí, tudo certo? Pode me dar mais detalhes do seu problema? Também tenho esse celular e até agora não tive esse problema com outras ROMs que baixei. Estou com o crDroid agora, mas pensando em sair, por outros problemas. Me fala mais aí que posso tentar te ajudar. Caso já tenha resolvido, se possível posta aí pra registrar que foi resolvido.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] TurtlePwr82:
Hello all,

Does anyone have a vendor.img file for US variant BLN-L24? I am attempting to get back to stock, and I have the boot, recovery, and system files, but my update.app seems to not have vendor.img for some reason. Any help on this is much appreciated.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Hi, a reason because your update.app wouldn't have the vendor.img could be that you're trying to extract the vendor from the wrong update package; which one you used? The vendor is present only in the biggest update.zip file around 1,64GB; are you sure you didn't tried to extract it from one of the other two packages (update data full public/update data hw region code)? The vendor is present only in the package labeled with FULL, and not in normals OTA that you receive through system update. Write me up here your build number for extended, and I'll provide you a download link for a package that will surely contain the vendor.img for BLN-L24 ;)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] TurtlePwr82:
Thanks for the reply. I actually downloaded a new update.app last night that contained the necessary vendor.img.

I now have the issue that when I attempt to go back to stock via dload, my install will get to 5%, fail with a red exclamation point in the middle of the screen, and then only give an option to reboot.

From reading the rolling back to stock thread, it appears my version of update.app just may not be working correctly for dload. I have no clue what build number I was on previously, but it should be the latest update that was available as of a week ago. If you can direct me to a valid working update.app for this variant (BLN-L24), that should get me back to stock. Thanks again for any help.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
You should try dload with the latest build available here for BLN-L24Cxxx that has "PV" at the end of the package name http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (can't know code region so except if there is only one variant, like C583 for example, be careful on which package you download) i suppose that you could be on this USA variant, but i can't ensure it http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1756/g1755/v103272/f1/full/update.zip
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] TurtlePwr82:
Thanks for the link. I will double check when I get home later and try to use dload again.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
You're welcome dude. Let me know if you can solve that out.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] TurtlePwr82:
So attempting to use the two latest updates available on that site for a basis, I did attempt to use the update.app from each one to attempt install, and get an error message each time when installing package (fail at 5%). At this point, I'm not sure where exactly the fault lies. Just wanted to give you an update.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
I'm sorry that you still are in trouble. I never had luck using dload too, i tried 3 times but I remember that time ago, the thing about using the package with PV at the end was still unknown, so maybe that was the fault. I'll look for users who owns a BLN-L24 to call in cause, in way to ask them to provide a vendor.img for your build and solve this.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] TurtlePwr82:
Thanks for the help. I've pretty much gone to my backup phone at this point, though I am still trying to fix this one. I thought I had a breakthrough in getting back to stock last night, but upon boot the EliteRom without sound was still flashed. If I could get sound on the EliteRom when I flash it I could live with the phone. I did see that was a reported problem apparently with some of the rooms (loss of sound and video playback).

It's almost as if maybe the custom kernel can no longer be wiped from the phone once it is flashed, and I think that may be where my issue is stemming from, as I have attempted all update.apps from the most recent through to 7/31, all of which fail at 5% through dload, though flashing in fastboot for everything else goes smoothly. I will continue to try to work on it, or just sell the phone. Thanks again for all of your help, it is much appreciated.

I want an antivirus or cleaner, to wipe memory (cache, images, trash), but not stay in 2nd plane.

Is there any ?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tarun0:
Check Google's Files Go app.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] smokinjoe2122:
Honestly, Android has gotten pretty good at self maintenance - If you just download from the Playstore, like a good boy or girl, you won't need antivirus. I have used SD Maid also, but honestly, clear your cache under Storage when you get about 2 -3 GBs in, or when apps start to run laggy and you'll be fine.

The days of needing all of the excess stuff like cleaners, antivirus, and task managers are pretty close to over, unless you're installing off grid and have gigs of cached files.

TL;DR Ramexpander set at 4gb swap file makes all the difference for this tablet

A little background: I've been modifying my phones since the galaxy nexus. I've tried greenify, amplify, debloating, kernels, overclocking, cleaning, l-speed, etc. I like to run a lot of apps, and all of my phones and devices, including the Nexus 6p (until the Pixel XL) lagged. RamExpander has been the solution every time, and the fire hd is no different. This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&hl=en .

Use the free version here to check if your device is compatible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo&hl=en but I know a rooted 2017 Hd 10 running 5.6 is compatible.

Maybe your device runs perfectly already and/or you're using less apps. That's great! But I have seen a few threads about trying to optimize performance. IF your device lags, this app will make an immediate night and day difference.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] freaky2xd:
I'll give it a try :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bakshi:
I have L Speed and Greenify installed on all of my rooted Android devices. Could you please explain to us how RAMEXPANDER is better than L Speed/Greenify? I'm curious. I'll do anything to optimize these Fire HDs even more. I rooted them and installed Google everything on them so my parents don't have to deal with the Fire OS.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] metaleloi666:
Is Ram Expander really worth $10? I wanted to try it and found an APK. The damned thing was contaminated with neverending ads appearing every 10 seconds... I had to uninstall and run Malwarebytes to get the tablet working fine again. I assume the "real" paid version has no crappy ads?

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I know Greenify already and use it on my tablets and cell phones. But it's the 1st time ever I hear about L Speed. Is it complicated to set up?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Free4ever2:
The 2GB memory is pretty limited, and disabling some Amazon services and avoiding apps that remain persistent in memory is highly recommended. I installed the official Google app to get Google Assistant, but found that it used too much ram. I recommended installing system monitor and monitoring the active processes, sorted by ram usage, to identify bloated user apps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
so what ram expander does is it's just a super easy way to setup a swap file (space on the internal sd card that will be used as RAM). Why is it better than all the other stuff I've tried? It's empirical, not logical. That is to say, every phone that's lagged, if RAMEXPANDER is compatible, I've installed and it's made a huge difference in performance, every single time. I've messed around with a lot of optimization tools beforehand and results have been mixed. I can improve battery life usually, but the phone will still lag, with those tools and with all the apps i run. Also, each tool is just more strain on the system.

I've never seen an add in the app. You got a bad APK.

An alternative, I've found, though less intuitive is an app called apps2sd. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en

It's a little less intuitive, but basically when you open the app, you get a bunch of tools to choose from. If you choose the SWAP menu, you can create a SWAP Partition on the /data partition. 4gb has been working amazingly for me. Then go to settings and check the "apply swap on boot" (after you test it for a while, and you're happy and everything's stable).

L-speed has a lot of options. It's got a few profiles, but I'm not sure that they actually work. With some messing around you can get a little improvement here and there (or maybe it's placebo). Sometimes an update of L-speed will bootloop your device, but I only use it on devices I have an nandroid ready to go on.

SWAP, through ram expander or apps2sd, makes a night and day difference compared to any other tool I've tried.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] metaleloi666:
Does Ram Expander starts automatically at each reboot or it has to be started manually each time?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Blaiser47:
Thanks for this. Just did this with app2sd and working great!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mistermojorizin:
It has an auto start feature
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GamerOfRassilon:
I keep trying to install this (the Google Play store version of ROEHSOFT RAM Expander) on a Fire HD10 with root via Kingoroot. I'm trying to install the swap disk on the SD card, and I'm getting an error message:

You have a Limited Kernel

Kernel Swapspace Limit detected! please reduce the Swapfile Size lower 1GB! and try again!

This happens no matter what size I pick for the swap file on the SD card.

If I try to use the same company's "test" app (MemoryInfo-SwapCheck), I get this error message:

Path Error

This Path is not usable for Swap!

I can verify that both apps are successfully creating the swap file on the SD card (swapfile.swp or swaptestf.swp, depending on which app I'm using).

I've tried both systems 5.5.0.0 and 5.6.0.1 and I get the same error message on either. I've tried installing it on a completely fresh install of both, with only Kingoroot, SuperSU, Google Play, and RAM Expander installed (in that order). I've also tried swapping out SD cards, and get the same error on both.

This software does work properly if I install the swap file on internal memory, but I'd prefer not to do that, since I can't replace the internal memory if I wear it out.

The weird thing is, I could swear it was working properly before (a couple of weeks ago), but nothing is getting this to work now. It's possible I was mistaken and had accidentally chosen the internal memory, but I don't think so.

Anyone have any clue about what's going on?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GamerOfRassilon:
To respond to myself (in case anyone else has this problem in the future):

For some reason, this software doesn't work if you set the path to /storage/sdcard1 (It will create the swap file, but then it gives the error message I described).

Instead, you have to use:

/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1

Then it works totally fine.

Also, if it's useful (and saves anyone else time), here are the values that each option of this software generates on the HD10:

multitasking

SwpFile = 3000MB

Swappiness = 100

MinFreeKB = 54MB

DriveCache(KB) = 4096

balanced

SwpFile = 3000MB

Swappiness = 100

MinFreeKB = 62MB

DriveCache(KB) = 8192

gamers

SwpFile = 3000MB

Swappiness = 100

MinFreeKB = 62MB

DriveCache(KB) = 16384

net gamers

SwpFile = 3000MB

Swappiness = 100

MinFreeKB = 4MB

DriveCache(KB) = 1024

I have no idea what those options mean or do, but I went with "balanced" (since it seemed pretty middle of the road) but with SwpFile set to 4000MB instead of 3000MB.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ThisCrimsonDiscordia:
Ramexpander etc.

I've paid for and been using RAMExpander for awhile now. It's a good app, and worth the money. That being said, App2SD is also an incredibly useful app, Pro or no. L-Speed is great as well. One thing to note, from what I've researched, editing your zram is also helpful as it compresses items in memory to free up space, and it is prioritized over Swap. Using the two in conjunction (having a zram file (250-500 MB seems to do the trick but you could probably go lower) and a decent sized swap file(mine is 8GB but I suspect this is massive overkill and 4 would work)) has left me with little to no lag, especially when paired with L-Speed's other exceptional tweaks. Jade Empire and Kotor run with 0 lag at top graphical settings.

Hope this helped clear up any questions.

Edit: If you use App2SD's partition manager you can set yourself up with a partition dedicated exclusively to Swap, then in Ramexpander change swap location to this partition in the settings. Ramexpander tops you out at 4GB, doing this is a good way to increase that threshold.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Wall.swe:
How did you set it up?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lok.esh:
I swaped it on Sd card on my j7 & it became to freeze & became super slow...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Dankees:
What about using BK Disabler?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
Just out of curiosity, what are your L Speed settings?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] smam1338:
I went with App2SD and L-Speed after reading this thread, and wow, it's practically a different experience, a different tablet. If you aren't doing something similar you're purposefully using a tablet that is gimped.

Here are the settings I went with:

App2SD swap is set to 4GB and placed in /data.

L-Speed has everything turned on as it would when first installed.

RAM Manager is set to balanced, seems like more than enough and I don't want to be plugged in frequently.

zRAM Optimization is set to on.

I then went back to swap settings and set the zRAM to priority 0 and /data set to 1.

Turned improved scrolling on.

Everything else was left as is, for now.

I can't believe this is the same tablet I was using a week ago.

No need for Greenify with this combination.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lanbladez:
What size should i set the swap partition to?

Since the swap will be on the sd card, should I go with the Samsung MicroSDXC EVO Plus which has 100/60 read/write rates or the Samsung PRO Endurance which has better reliability (designed for continuous writes) in the long run but only 100/30 read/write?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] smam1338:
You could probably get away with 2GB, honestly. In which case, I'd really suggest putting it on internal in /data.

Just one less I/O delay (even if seemingly trivial, will cause lag) to deal with.

If you're going with putting the swap on an SD rather than internal, definitely the fastest SD you can use. :fingers-crossed:

If you must put it on the SD, at the least create a zram "swap" on internal, it only has to be ~150-300MB.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lanbladez:
Thanks for the reply. If the swap will go to external memory, due to the continuous writes, does anyone have a time-frame for how long before the internal storage wears out.

What about the new A1 certified cards like the Sandisk Extreme Pro A1, would it be fast enough to eliminate the lag?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TheRealIntence:
I am running lspeed balanced settings.

My zram has a size of 500MB and a swap file of 1GB. It's definitely enough. I installed greenify with xposed for better doze performance. I tweaked some kernel related values with KA and I will think of installing amplify to prevent some wakelocks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MeetFace:
Thanks for the quick tutorial. Followed it on my new HD10 and already a smoother experience.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] smam1338:
The card would likely last longer than you would use the device.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] THERAJ12:
you need root for all this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
For the swap files you do need to be rooted
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
Is App2SD going to be for free? I saw a notification that said it is going to be taken off of the Google Play store. It's a badass app. I can't believe how fast it makes the Fire HD10 with those swap files. Sometimes it can go a bit too fast. I made 2 separate 4GB files and it was unusable because it would sense every twitch of my finger. I deleted those files and made a 3GB and a 2GB swap file on an external SD card instead and it has been working very well
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] THERAJ12:
What other hacks can I do without root on hd8? I can disable apps Via adb that might be it though
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MeetFace:
Can you expound on making 2 separate files?

My tablet still gets laggy after some use, thinking I did something wrong now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
When I started using both RAMEXPANDER and Apps2SD together I was having issues- I knew nothing of swap files. I then deleted all the swap files I created and I am just using Apps2SD since it allows you to create as many files as you want and you can switch them on and off.

When you open the app, scroll down to Swap Manager

Hit the + sign that's in the top right corner

Set the size of the file you want to create and the priority (I use 100) and set the folder path (I place them on my external SD card)

Just repeat those steps for as many Swap files that you want to create. Once they are, just toggle them on. I hope that helps in some way

This was originally posted by Supersonic27543 on the Root progress for Fire HD 8 discussion which will allow you to use Greenify on the HD8 if you're interested:

Try Greenify. You can use a workaround to grant it Usage Access.

1) Download Activity Launcher and Greenify from Play Store.

2) Launch Activity Launcher.

3) Notice the "Recent" text in the task-bar, press it, and select "All" from the drop-down list.

4) Scroll all the way below until you find "Settings", and press it.

5) Again, scroll below until you find "Apps with usage access", and press it.

6) The hidden "Apps with usage access" menu will pop up.

7) Grant Greenify usage access there. (You can turn off usage access for all Amazon apps if you want, to increase performance but it's recommended to leave out "Storage Management" intact, just in case.)

8) Launch Greenify, and continue with the setup.

To be honest, I haven't tested it out yet so I'm not sure how much it improves the device ever since the discovery of how to disable Amazons apps via adb on unrooted Fire's but I will check it out tonight
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] THERAJ12:
Thanks will give it a shot I wonder if in theory it would allow other apps "root access"
