I downloaded it yesterday from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920F/) and the only difference I can tell so far is that the LED flash light no longer stays always on. I didn't have memory leak issues so I can't speak to whether or not there was an improvement in that aspect.

thanx for the input
have you checked your RAM? people are saying the RAM used went down from 400-500Mb free to 1.2Gb(I know how android works
myself are having like 400Mb free and if I close all apps and clear the RAM with Smart manager I get 900Mb free... 2.1Gb for only system RAM seems a bit to much in IMAO

I never had an issue with RAM before so I never really checked, but as of right now, I have about 680 mb free.

Make sure adb,debugging is enabled in developer options then

There will be a services.odex in both the arm and arm64 folders in the framework folder. I need both of those along with services.jar in the framework folder.

100MB-150MB ramhack

This is a quick blurb that will make a lot of people happy. Remember the ramhack for the G1? Well, the Nexus One only has 218MB memory available to Linux, despite having a whopping 512MB total. Even the Motorola Droid, with 256MB total, has more RAM available to Linux! I asked about this, and romainguy explained on the Android IRC channel:
<coolbho3k> How can the Droid have 256MB of RAM but 230+MB memfree, while the Nexus has 512MB RAM but only 218MB memfree?
<@romainguy_> there's a limitation in the kernel
<@romainguy_> next update should give you 100 or 150 MB back
<coolbho3k> Very nice!!!
<@romainguy_> swetland can tell you more

There we go. A "memhack" kernel update in the next Nexus One OTA should give us an additional 100-150MB RAM. Who wants to try to compile a kernel that does this now?
Did u ask him when the next update is coming out.
is that an official IRC channel? with people that actually work on it or what?

Yes it is, and Romain Guy works for Google.
I wondered what happened to all that memory! I still don't understand why 2 1 is taking so much.
Wonder if that will correct the slight and infrequent animation studdering people sometimes see when moving between home screens and scrolling.
That is awesome, I was so happy to have 512 mb RAM it sucks to hear they dont use half of it, glad to hear they plan to fix that. So this thing is going to be even smoother? Also, we are talking about an official ota from google correct? I wonder why they released it with the limitation...

This is a limitation of the 2.6.29 kernel.
The 2.6.32 kernel fixes this issue, but I guess they haven't worked out all the bugs yet.

Is this like the PS3 where, at launch, they reserved more ram for its OS. Then they released more back to apps (games) with firmware updates Anyway, good news to everyone!
Is this the correct chat room?
http://irc2go.com/pjirc/?net=freenode&room=android
So is there an eta of this official patch from google?
well, what we do want the RAM for, yah for the OS than APPS but whats the deference between the OS and APPs ? well it is complicated as every APP will be running inside a VM made and managed by the OS
What I think : it doesn't matter, we want a good working OS that's fast and nice not free RAM ,that's just there not to be used for any good. If they at Google change it let them do that!
more RAM = less often apps have to be killed to make space for newly launched apps = less processing killing those apps and also more apps stored on memory for quick on-demand launch.

yes that is it.
Romain_Guy told me there is no ETA for the update but it is going to be included in the next update, whenever that may be. Hopefully not too long !
hope they fix a few other things aswell, i love the phone but there are a few aggravating software issues.
bump for awareness man..
so looking forward to the next patch

Place two fingers on the screen, drag up or down to change the view. Test it with a city like NYC. The version of Maps with 3D is ver. 5.0.

Better battery and performance

Hey everyone, just wanna share something.
So, as much I hate to admit, Nokia X2 don't really have an extraordinary battery. Hence, I was looking for something that can legitimately give my battery a boost. And I found 'L Speed'(available on play store). It just works. I'm a heavy user so my battery used to survive 7-10 hrs with constant use, now its 12 to 15 hrs :victory: Furthermore it also gave me performance boost. No lagging anymore. Of course as with every root app you gotta be careful. So don't just enable all the options. First read the official L speed thread then decide. But I gotta say I'm totally amazed with this app.

It is in English. Because most of the catalog is in chinese, that is why it feels the app is hard-coded in Chinese language.
Edit:
The app is great. However, the reason you got the update is because it is available for your region only. Same goes for the Online service which you should be able to access but we can't.

It could be due to any background running apps or less internal memory too.
Try shutting down your phone and do a cold boot and see if it helps. Otherwise let's just wait till the Oreo update rolls out and fixes everything.

Yeah, it certainly may last for more than a week in always-on-mode. I've never seen a phone like this;; looks far better optimized than Xiaomi's. Great! :good:

Yeah, what I meant by always-on-mode is extremely power-saving mode, the blank screen except a clock maybe. No processors on-going background is still not enough for most of the smart phones to last for couple of days. So pls don't feel sarcastic. :victory: Maybe I am talking too much on your forum???

You can uninstall most of app from flyme from settings. Some of them that we can count in fingers can be moved to a folder and never open it in future. Or else you can unistall those apps with root.

What did you do? Because, if you root the phone, you lose OTA updates, if you choose to put those remaining apps in a folder, can we freeze/stop them so they cannot work in background without using an app?
