That's your issue. The Titan has limited RAM, and using the apps that you do hinder it even more. I'm not saying it's wrong to do, but that's what's causing your performance issues. You SHOULD be able to run two programs at the same time on this device without severe performance issues.

I have quite a load of applications installed, but choosing the right ones is key. I have 22mb ram free at all times.

As far as the whole "green locking" thing goes. I guess I should be more specific.

Green does in fact indicate a lock. When the bars are red, you are NOT locked. The reason why I switch while they're still red is because, don't forget, we're using the GPS Tool as a PRIMER. We are not using it to lock sats. I don't even use Google Maps for navigation, I use Garmin Mobile XT. I just PRIME the gps with GPS Tool, once it's primed (doesn't have to lock yet), I open Google Maps for a quick lock. Once Google gets me the lock, I close both and fire up Garmin with obvious instant lock.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] calash:
15mb of memory is more than enough for the apps. Between them they barely touch 4m of space required. The GPS Tools does like to spike the CPU though, hanging between 80-100% usage.

That being said, Pocket Plus has a Safe Mode option. Booting into that leaves me with 25M of ram free. Still get the lag issues. I wonder if it is just a compatibility problem with LS or if something did not go right when I cooked my Rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Hmm yeah don't know what to tell you. It doesn't cause that problem on my phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] parcou:
GC...

No issues here it is working for me. I was playing with MemMaid and was looking at the background services I see one for QuickGPS. It says in the description

Installed by: dcd QuickGPS

What does this service do? I ask because you can install this program by the same name and click the download button to update your position. But now I am curious about this service not the application... I am on dcd rom 3.22 (non-kitchen) & your radio for verizon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I use QuickGPS. You run it once every 7 days (or after a flash). Download the ephemeris data. Then close it. It allows you to lock MUCH MUCH quicker from a cold start, and I highly recommend using it every 7 days.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Any suggestions on how to script to run automatically every seven days. I guess I should just set it to run on activesync.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] the 0ne:
Hi gc14,

I tried using QuickGPS but it always fails to update. I tried to manually download the ephemeris data and placed it in the Windows directory(I confirmed it was roughly 50KB) but the download time and valid time did not update. I did some research and found that a lot of people were having similar problems and had to change the servers specified in the registry. Are you using any custom ones?

Hi aguas,

I'm running DCD 3.2.2 and radio 3.42.30. From a cold start I have ~23MB of free RAM. Launching HTC GPS Tool and selecting open uses roughly 0.5MB of RAM but trying to open the Start menu is very slow (Once I actually get Google Maps open it is pretty responsive). After I finally get Google Maps open and select GPS it uses an additional 1MB of RAM which leaves me at about 21MB of RAM which is more than enough. I wonder if this is more of a screen drawing/driver issue?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] aguas:
was i misinformed that QuickGPS does nothing? i remember reading that the GPS doesnt even look for the epheremis data d/l'd by QGPS so i stopped using it and just use HTC GPS Tool. my locks are about the same.

Speaking of GPS Tool, is there any reason why it wont do anything when my phone is on COM 3? QPST said my SURF port or whatever it is is on COM 3, so when i tried priming on that port, it states that it failed to send NMEA command. i wanted to check the speed difference between 3 and 4, because with no priming, Maps locks faster on COM 3 than 4.

you need the patched version of QuickGPS. its attached.

did you soft reset and try it after that?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] parcou:
Not sure if we all have the same Google Maps version I assume when you all say select GPS...the option on my version says "Track Location"...just want to be clear on the terms for any new people reading this...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Well there is truely something to this. I flashed 3.42.30 and I can't get a lock at all. Then immediately relflashed back to 3.39.10 and got a quick lock.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
If that's the case, I suggest that everyone having any issues download the newest version of Google Maps. You must be using a really old version, because I can't even remember a version with "Track Location"

That's really odd man. I'm starting to wonder if your file is just bad or something. 3.42.30 is MUCH MUCH better with GPS locks than 3.39.10 for me. To not be able to get ANY locks is very strange.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
I found it to be very strange. Radio 3.42.02 and 3.42.30 give me no GPS locks. Now I could apply your fix but I'd rather not since I know for a fact I can get a lock without doing so. I went back to 3.39.10 last night and the GPS locked within a minute.

I thought the same thing about the radio files I had so I redownloaded them but it didn't help any. One thing about 3.42.30 is my signal is a good bit better. There are alot of dead spots I hit on the way home with 3.39.10 that I don't experience with 3.42.30.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
GC posted how to properly prime GPS with the HTC tool, but how do you determine when you are locked? Please give specific steps. Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
I am pretty new to this but I am running DCD3.2.2 with the 3.42.30Radio with Tom Tom software and I rarly have problems locking...never timed it though. What is this HTC tool? I do not have that. Also if anyone needs Tom Tom PM me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] parcou:
GC...

I am on version Google Map v 1.2.0.17 on the opening screen. When it opens it is on a map of course. Then I hit the menu button on the bottom and select "Track Location" then a blue window at the tops opens looking for sats. and a blue dot will appear shortly for my exact location. Is this your version and what your GM does?

serfboreds

I would say locked is when whatever app you are using like my tt7 screen changes to show me my exact location....at the same time if I went back to GPS Viewer then the boxes are blue....maybe I am not following the question right...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I attached it below.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Holy crap you're using an old version lol. I'm using 2.1.0.10. I suggest you update to the latest version. Attached is the cab.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
thanks serf I will install it today
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] parcou:
Thx GC...works good. Now I can call a number from GM at first the link was dead. I like it a lot better than Live Search only good thing to me about LS is that it will track as you move wish GM did but I have tt7 for that.

Thx
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
I'm able to lock when my iGo gives me a position. That's what I consider to be a lock. I launch Astrolauncher and ofcourse it launches iGo with it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] motorh3ad:
hallo guys, i have issues when i try to go back to a version of the stock rom because they wont boot

not sure what im doing wrong, i hope someone can tell me..

here the full story: when i got the device, i checked the stock rom which was ok.

my plan was to use lineageos, so i unlocked the bootloader,installed TWRP and flashed the global vendor, unofficial 17.1 and gappswhich.

this is working fine and i can always reinstall this lineage the way i mentioned above, but i saw that the finger unlock is not working in that rom as expected.

since i didnt test it in stock rom, i thought lets try this and now comes the issue, i can not find any solution to go back to stock rom which is working.

#1 tried to download rom from https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/19/ which should be flashed with TWRP (howto there).

when flashing, this is not finishing and looks like its stuck in twrp flashing. ok, since the download for other config was broken yesterday, there might be issues.

#2 downloaded stable rom from https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t3984691

flashing works, but device is in boot loop then. im sure i was missing something or doing wrong, so i searched for another option.

#3 found a youtubevide about BACK2STOCK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBsWNrKNZzA

downloaded all the needed packages and did it like it was in the video.

result: all flashed like shown in the video, when system reboot is done MI logo is shown around 60seconds and then rebooting to TWRP

#4 i would go for the solution to flash via MIFLASH, but before i break something i thought i better ask here.

since there are so many issues, i would need your help to point me to the mistakes im doing here.

going back to lineage 17.1 is not a problem, i just did again and this is working.

so if you read this, please find time to explain me if you want to.

thank you
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sandeeep Kiran:
yeah, you are missing a step.

you have to format data partition.

check my guide on how to install roms: https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543

also, may I suggest EU/masik instead of stock, its a lot better
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] motorh3ad:
in #3 you can see that in the video data is also formated: https://youtu.be/KBsWNrKNZzA?t=190

of course i did this too....was also not working.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] motorh3ad:
reading your simple beginners guide and downloading MIUI EU ROM (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_V11.0.5.0.QFKCNXM_v11-10.zip)

flashed it, was also not working/booting. tried also with flashing vendor (the one from lineage) before, no change.....

what should i do?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] hoopsnake:
Don't flash vendor, theirs no need, eu.miui has everything in the one zip file. Just to clarify have you formatted in twrp? The option where it requires you to type 'yes'? Everything gets wiped from your photos and apps all to the rom itself. Then just flash eu.miui and reboot. Works everytime for me without fail.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] motorh3ad:
no i never formatted in TWRP wipe, only used the factory reset and swiped to wipe.

just did a format and flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_V11.0.5.0.QFKCNXM _v11-10.zip

ITS BOOTING!!

first please let me thank you very much for this help, i was already quite desperate about nothing working except LINEAGE.

fingerprint in MIUI rom is working great, unbelievable!

can you please explain me why this FORMAT in WIPE is needed and what its used for? i was not aware and i can not find it in any of the howtos..
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sandeeep Kiran:
haha, glad it's working. Knew the problem was that you didn't format.

however since you posted on xda, I just assumed you knew format data is not the same as wiping data.

(literally, the most common beginners mistake for this phone)

it's cause of the encryption keys, when moving from MIUI to AOSP (and vice-versa) a format data partition is required.

I stated this in How To Change My ROM? I wanna Try them all!

section in the first post.

under there, FOR MIUI ROMS (since that is what you were trying to do)

you missed the 7th bullet point. (you can also text me on telegram)

(also, in the same guide, I inform people to flash their vendor first -4th bullet point- then in the 5th bullet point you wipe it.)

(this is cause often miui customs and some people are usually on a vendor that isnt there's. you have to be on your region vendor, then wipe it, then allow the miui custom's vendor to take over, else you will face fingerprint problems)

This is just another point most just don't follow.

Umm, if my guide needed anything to be included, or like... needed to be more easy to read and follow... I can edit that if you like.

(use can text me on telegram as well)

edit: just read the xiaomi.eu one, I'll edit it to make it more informative
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
You're not installing stock ROMs. You are installing custom ROMs based on stock.

If you want to return to true stock grab a fastboot ROM from here and flash it with the Mi Flash Tool. After fully extracting the ROM delete the flash_all_lock.bat file before flashing. That way you cannot accidentally lock the bootloader.

Then choose the 'clean all' option in the Mi Flash Tool before you hit the flash button.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] motorh3ad:
thank you.

my mistake, i didnt write clear. i just wanted to test a miui rom to see how the fingerprint is working there. im happy now with the custom rom based on stock.

but i also went for this solution you mentioned and noticed that on the https://www.xiaomiflash.com/ site only older xiaomi devices are mentioned as beeing compatible.

looks like this is not the point, so im happy to have this option too.

[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] sandronejm:
On calls speakerphone is not working here.

Edit:

- For testing purpose, I needed to check if the SpeakerPhone issue was a hardwire or software issue, then I installed the stock 7.1 ROM. SpeakerPhone should not be a software issue, because my SpeakerPhone didn't work on stock ROM. I would appreciate if someone tell me in comments if your Speaker Phone is working on calls.

- The volume gain of audio recordings in Whatsapp is too low, my contacts couldn't hear properly my voice recording. But in StockROM the volume gain was audible as it should be. It should be a software problem. How about someone else testing it?

- About Speakerphone: I noticed my bottom speaker is not working because of a hardwire issue. But my top speaker works perfectly. Can you make the SpeakerPhone speak in top speaker? When I click to speakerphone, no one speakers produce sound.

- The audio gain sounds too loud for me. The sound is distorced, but when I install the stock ROM it is no more distorced. Is the sound distorced there?

I hope it helps

Audio Input

I used to roll on Resurrection Remix and LineageOS on my E6633 device and I guess the audio input is a general problem on lineage-based ROMs. Hope tarkzim and his colleagues will find a way for both this one and the camera! Rising from their grave, here comes back our once-most-esteemed Z5s!

what about battery drain, memory leaks or whatever else and ui lags?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] cd1sumire:
The battery holds exactly the same as on the drain, a little less, but overall excellent, no memory leaks were found, I did not notice other lags either, the only thing is that when the internal memory is 60-70% full, it takes much longer to load, but I think this not critical

Hi, I can't seem to re-flash the Rom (17.1-20200808) through TWRP (3.1.1) on my E6633 (Dual-Sim) after the initial flash.

It gives the following message in TWRP:

"E3004: This package is for device: E6603,E6633,E6653,E6683,sumire,sumire_dsds; this device is .

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file: '/sdcard1/lineage-17.1-20200808-UNOFFICIAL-sumire.zip"

Pressing the Factory Reset option also does absolutely nothing for me. And I've also got no GSM/GPS reception.

I think something went wrong during the initial flash and I don't know if I can fix it.

I'd really appreciate it if I could get some help and/or have someone point me in the right direction.

Before begin, I would like to thank you for your effort and support on Z5, LOS 17.1.

I noticed that after flashing new build (2020-09-14) at first open, phone recognizes there is a SIM Card attached. However, after a minute or so, it doesn't recognizes any SIM Card. It seems to attached but phone doesn't recognizes. You can't call, send a SMS, or use Mobile Data.

I have tried both dirty and clean install. the results is the same. (Vodadone Turkey)

The phone only recognizes a SIM card has been attached at first open. (20 seconds top of every restart etc)

I have installed previous (August) version and SIM card works perfectly.

I forgot to say about a issue I have seen:

- Battery animation not appearing (phone turned off) - stuck at Sony white background when charging.

I uninstalled this rom currently but I am intended to give a try for the latest version more soon.

Wow tarkzin! Thank you for the work! The rom is awesome
