hi there mattk_r

simple request, please please please make a stupendously stable and fast rom using ANY of the wm6.1 builds

ultimately, 'which' build wouldnt matter if you made the final one really stable and fast as the feature sets are pretty much the same, you dont always have to have the absolute latest build!

and of course if you could offer a bigstorage and a nonbigstorage option and of course make them UC compatible

looking forward to this, your name rings a bell though, were you over on the wizard forums too?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yup - been a while
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
Hi Matt!

like in the past...a lean, mean, & clean wm6.1 with a tilt build.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikehippe:
Great to see you back Matt. I had used all your versions up to 9 til you left us. I have since been using PDACorners ROM's, now V.17 and they have been the best since you left. V.17 is using build 20270 and it is the cleanest and most stable ROM right now for me. Can't wait to see you work your "Clean" magic.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Happy to do so.

Is there a good "virgin" ROM dump around? Without the manifest files (dsm) files, PKGTOOL won't build the packages properly from a compiled NB image.

Not trying to be lazy, but the two compiled ones I've tried with 20270 are this way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Well 20270 doesn't allow selecting multiple messages to be deleted through the screen, must be some bug in the tmail.exe somewhere, too lazy to look, and not smart enough to fix it. 19588 seems OK so far. Doesn't corrupt my yahoo! go cab upon installation and allows me to select multiple msgs off the screen to 'delete' or 'mark as read' :) my 2c

glorious day
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mrjasjam:
Hi there

The fastest rom so far with no issues that I could find is the 19214 rom. I got the PDAVIET one. Compare it to any other build out there and it rocks! Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utexaspunk:
Sounds good to me!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maximumbs:
Extra vote here for the same request but I'm not sure if it can be done because I remember somewhere in the forum, someone mentioned that the PV roms cannot be dumped. Would be nice to have one that is stable and only the OS (Super Clean) so it will be fully customizable by the user.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
Yup same old matt from pandora ROM in wizard! good old wizard days, gawd i miss it LOL

Thanks for the link! It looks like good stuff. Let the playing begin...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hold off for a week or so... I'm in the middle of some things that will majorly change how we make ROMs...

It should benefit just about everybody.

I need time to get these concepts into a working system though...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Do I smell new kitchen tools?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Black6spdZ:
Has it been proven that apps built in actually run faster than the ones installed from SD afterwards "installed to DEVICE storage"? With all things being equal of course, no extra cache tweaks or one with larger PP than other. I still vote to have absolutely nothing cooked in that can't be installed afterwards. I don't see the argument valid about it being a PITA to reinstall all the apps anymore with SDautorun. Please.. no more Diamond theme ;) I always prefered the Touch but with personal prefs asside it should probably just be the standard WM6.1 theme, let everyone pick and choose their personal prefs. The threaded SMS should be a non issue, its just a reg change that can be altered with advanced config.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
It can be faster, if the cab installs the files in a smart way. In some programs, you can have the registry point to the files (such as images or dll's) and by installing them elsewhere you avoid dumping everything into the /Windows folder - and the bloat associated from a large Windows directory.

I prefer to use the auto installer I wrote some time ago for just the reason you mentioned, easier to customize and no crap you don't want.

Funny thing though, my wife was running my Naked 6 rom and not once in 6 months had to soft reset, hard reset, or any other fundamental issues. Not sure how it ranked against current 6.1 roms per the latest benchmarks, but I hope to live up to that performance reference in future builds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Got me curious now, and scratching my head on what you're thinking of changing.

I sense an app that integrates all of the applications that complies the .nb file such as buildxip.exe, buildos.exe, G'Reloc.exe, insert.exe, ImgfsFromNB.exe... you get the idea... into a single user interface...?

Or is it something completly new?

VB or C#?

Sorry, just curious... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
I am sure you can make the concept work! Looking forward to it:D.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Something completely new, and C# all the way.

There's still a lot more coding to do though.

On the server side everything is done. There's a mirror in each major geographical location (EU, US x 2, AU) that should give everyone excellent speeds. The rest is yet to come.... and I have big plans :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Black6spdZ:
CRC, this didn't stem from the link I posted over to the PPCGeeks site did it? or did you have this in the works long before? ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Sounds like fun! Lemme know if you need anything tested, since my hermes is not my primary device (got a spare Blackjack to use while playing) and my PC has everything M$ has for dev. I'm handy with C#, but much better with VB...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
What link was this?

Don't worry mate, you'll be in on the private testing before it goes public ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abusalza:
hmm. seem like a new stuff for hermes owner. please let me test it:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maximumbs:
...Hmmm sounds to me like you will have a central server repository and everyone can download a client. From there each users can connect and cook ROM on the fly! If this is close to what I think, definitely you will define a new era in cooking ROMS!

Hopefully you'll provide an OS with setacousticparam settings only, which will let each user customize each packages. That will be awesome. Looking forward to what you are scheming :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egoist6:
i can confirm this. have been using pdaviet's 19214 for a while. it is really stable whereas 20226 needs some soft-resets per week and is not that fast.

too lazy to flash another time. was waiting for a clean rom...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egoist6:
i would guess it will work as an internet-app. you configure your preferred registry settings (keyboard layout, clock on title bar etc), add cabs and download your personal rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Black6spdZ:
yeah.. PPCGeeks have just such an app, downloads all the appropriate base images and OEM packages from the central server and builds your ROMS just the way you like it.. I've played around with it a little working on a ROM for a 6700.. cool stuff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm still trying to work out why PKGTOOLS isn't working with 6.1 dumps, but I suspect some of the kitchen tools are doing more than they used to (ie deleting stuff). Once I get over this hump I'll get something up and running.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
mattk_r and CRCinAU together, it's going to be an explosive combination :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:

I found this page on how to modify the G8X to add Taskbar to Desktop mode, i have not done phone mods for quite awhile and worry that if i try this mod that it will mess with the dual screen funtion, i know i can just download Taskbar and run it in Desktop mode but i would also like to try to modify the DPI of Desktop mode to make the window bars smaller.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] prahsper:
Have a Note 8 that was draining the battery real fast all the sudden. It's on android 9. I would charge it to 100, let it sit with screen off and in about 30min. it was down 59%. This kept happening. One day it went down to 0% and didn't charge anymore. So I changed the battery. It did the same thing. Depleted too fast. When it went down to 0%, again phone would not turn on nor charge again. This is what I have gone thru so far with this phone:

Replaced the battery 3 times.

Replaced the charging port flex cable

Tried several Samsung chargers

Wipe data/factory reset X2

Wiped cache X2

No apps are on the phone.

Even with all that the batteries still drain quickly. If they go to 0%, phone won't charge again. Phone will not turn on and charge until I put a new battery replacement in it-only for it to drain fast.

The only thin I have not replaced was the logic board. Could this be a logic board issue or software issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
To rule out it being a software/firmware problem update it if you can or if you can't update then downgrade but stay with the same bootloader version.. If it does it after doing that then it's 100 percent a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jasdjensen:
Both my wife and I have Verizon Note 8s. We received the June patch a few days ago and have experienced SEVERE battery drain. In the battery usage stats there is no application that seems to be causing the drain. We've not had these phones very long (maybe 16-18 mo) and believe this is absolutely related to the June 2020 security update. I'm not sure if this issue is specific to the Verizon version of the patch or if this would affect more Note 8s. I'm just trying to find proof that it was the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] prahsper:
I am a tech so yes I did the repair myself. Just looking for a second opinion on this. I bought the batteries from amazon and had a good condition battery from an old Note 8 repair leftover.

However, I cannot do anything more as far as testing because I need to purchase another battery. That is the only way to get the phone back on because like I mentioned once the battery drains out phone doesn't charge anymore unless I put a new battery in. As long as I don't let the phone drain to 0% I can keep using it and charging it.

But for now to do any of the tests mentioned here I would need to get another battery first.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Some of the phones that would drain to 0 wouldn't charge again and Samsung was replacing the batteries in those ones but some people have been able to get them to charge again so if you have a wireless charger put the phone on BOTH the wireless charger AND the wired cable charger and leave it over night and it may or may not work but you have nothing to lose so..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] prahsper:
Well I have found the issue and only issue. It was the logic board. The power IC chip is bad. After purchasing and connecting the new logic board everything on this note 8 is working perfectly. Battery charges, holds its charge like it supposed to. Battery drain is gone. And I can let the battery drain to 0% and charge it up again with no problem. So eventually, when I get the time, I will replace the power IC on the bad board. But for now, all is good.

Thanks to you all for your assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Master_yoda:
What exactly do you mean when you say "put a new battery replacement in"? You mean that you have opened the phone and put in new batteries? How did you put it back together? It is supposed to be sealed, and many things can go wrong after opening the enclosure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Instead of for someone typing out the answer to that just go to YouTube and search for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 battery replacement and you'll see the entire process!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Master_yoda:
My comment was not so much about the process, but about the result. Or shall I say consequences of the action? If one opens the seal, replaces the battery (not just once, but several times) and then complains about the battery not working normally is in my opinion a bit cheeky.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ryjun:
1-

Backup data

Factory reset. Or flash new firmware with odin

2-

DeBloat ,bloatware, disable stock system app....

3-

Install app Factory Tool Launcher Samsung ( how to install: Google search system shell 3 )

Install galaxy diagnostics

Copy factory_ftl_default.xml to /storage/emulated/0/

Open Factory Tool Launcher. Choose tab FUNC

find and choose Battery Initialized ( resset battery cycle couter)

Go to Dialler *#9900# choose Batterystats Reset

Done

Wakelock on , wakelock off 😚

My phone sreen on time 4hour , 5 hour

It's a fact that when replacing a Samsung phone's battery, if it doesn't clear the charging cycle, the battery is not good.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] OldSkewler:
I had to refresh my phone and I realized that the Sony Transfer Tool it is not continuous back up tool. I actually used it only once, going from the Z5 to SC 1 and it worked great and I assumed wait also covered backups. Learned the hard way today that it does not provide ongoing backups.

What is today's choice for Sony/Android users for app & phone settings back up?

I'm looking for something similar to the Sony Transfer Tool and how it keeps all settings (layouts, passwords, apps & settings) but with periodic automatic updates and easy of use when needed to back up.

Thanks in advance,
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I just use Xperia Backup and Restore and Googles backup feature. Or you can use Titanium Backup.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] TheQuickFox:
Titanium backup is great, but it will refuse to do anything unless it has root access to your phone.

Without root, I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.appbackup but it only backups apps (.apk files) not it's settings.

Google pixel 3 (not XL) - Three is my provider.

For a number of weeks now I've not been receiving notifications while using data, until the app has been opened or till the phone connects to Wi-Fi.

I have contacted Three, thinking it may be an issue with service of some sort. They've been through loads of different settings (the person I spoke to did seem to know what they were talking about and very useful), but they got to point where they had exhausted everything they could think of.and asked me to turn my phone on and off to see if that helps with some of the settings that had been changed... it didn't.

Since, I've done a factory reset (I'd already tried resetting using the other options), this did didn't help. I've gone through all easy accessible settings to make sure no battery optimizer setting are on (the ones I can find at least), I've gone through all the data settings. But nothing seems to be working.

As soon as my phone connects to Wi-Fi I then get loads of notifications coming through.

Not sure if anybody else is having an issue with this or if it's due to the most recent update as the two seemed to happen to close togethe.

I've tried contacting Google and not had any reply. I'm at a loss of what else I can try hoping somebody on here night have another suggestion please.
