I have PA Gapps 3-08 running fine on recent Cyanogen Mod 11 port for the T330NU with no issue..
However the PA GAPPs developer (TKruzze) no longer makes GAPPs packages..
If you have the latest PA GAPPs, it should work..

W, hey okay i add mtp to my todo list though i don't own a computer that mtp would actually work on, so it'll be guesswork.
Also now that sound is sorted, i'll take a look at the magnetic cover thingamawhatzit. Though i like to turn my screen
on and off the old fashioned way. :silly:
You folks don't expect too much more, I do have other stuff I have to get to.

Sure, i've never had a magnetic cover, the basic idea is closed screen off, and open screen on right ?
also can you test out bluetoothiness, keyboard, i've never done audio streaming so i don't know much to that end.

If I had a Bluetooth device I would test that for you but I don't have one.

hi, i have no issue but, i also maintain my tab regularly with sdmaid, you may need to clear out battery stats.
Also, are you running the rom with or without the kernel update? Lastly how many background processes do you
have running?

hi again :silly:
you can run in terminal
ps
also you can also connect via adb and run adb shell, then as root [su] run
powertop
i say to do that one through adb because it doesn't display correctly and is kind of unmanagable in the tab's
terminal window.
Also try modifying you performance settings, on the updated kernel you should be set to ondemand/cfq

Okay thanks looking forward to updates for this rom. Also I was wondering.. For the ROMs for the t530 tabs like the cm12 one they now have. What would need to be done to get it booting... I heard all the ROMs with the same board need is a working kernel.. Idk if that's right but if it is would the kernel for this ROM get the cm 12 ROM booting or does it need a new one?

For the most part that's somewhat true correct, however i haven't bothered because the roms are being packaged with the block setup
as opposed to the tried and true way and i just don't have the patience to unpack that setup and repack it.
To be truthful i think i've gotten addicted to this stuff in a slightly mentally unstable kind of way :silly:
And as such am running multiple projects at once, so if you want to chip in on trying that approach, downoad one of the
sm-t53xx builds, get it unpacked and repacked cm11 style and link me to it, a respectable site, not 4shared or dumbass gator
or any place like that, and i'll see what i can do. my current attempts with bliss keep breaking at camerawrapper issues and gps issues.

How to get the best performance AND stability out of our Galaxy s3(Noob friendly)

BRACE YOURSELVES,LONG POST COMING!!
So,this phone is my very first one since 2013,and because i LOVE to tinker every software(even on pc) i decided to tinker my very first smartphone to the best performance possible !
I Learned a lot about this phone and 2 years later i decided to help others reach this point of optimization for this phone..
MY choice for android version for this phone is Jellybean(4.3) and i can explain why.
I choose this version because we want to operate our phone without A-N-Y bugs or FC's...
I choose this version because we want to get the best out of our camera....
i chose this version because I think(please dont sent hate posts) its the lightest software WHILE maintaning stability :fingers-crossed:
Well lets get started then!!
ROM:The best jellybean rom in terms of performance PLUS stability (my personal opinion again) is Just archi'shttp://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2855613, (IMHO The best developer for this phone ).
this rom use very little resources and it is as close to stock as possible with the basics (in terms of flexibility) baked in :good:
Also we all hate to admit that Sammy stock ROM is the most optimized because their sources is closed (so in sammies 4.4.2 -4.4.4 that developers port is laggy after some long term use so we cant blame them).
KERNEL: I chose this kernel because WHILE having enough stability,it delivers MASSIVE performance boost-And this is Boeffla's in synergy with zanezam's boeffla kernel with uber toolchain http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-linaro-zzmoove-t2629184 http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/i9300/samsung/jb43/stable/. THUMBS UP TO THESE DEVELOPERS :good: !!!
OPTIMIZATIONS: I'D like to share my boeffla kernel profile.this profile is aimed just a bit to performance while having good Sot's (4 hours+)...
Use Greenify!!! Its the best app available capable of hibernate you apps of CHOICE,freeing RAM to make the device snappy
i'd recomment to use it with XPOSED as you have more options to hibernate even system apps! :good:
ADBLOCK: use Adaway.It saves you from these ads that not only they are irritating,but you save a LOT of cpy cycles,which means cooler phone,still snappy while browsing etc.
Xposed modules:the only frustration about this rom for me is that it has no advanced reboot.. But its obvious because rom is as close to stock as possible). so if you want this you must install APM+ module found in download section inside xposed installer or by this link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus.
SOUND:After a lot of scripts and mods about sound in our phone,i decided to settle to [/FONT]V4A app and their drivers because it has INSANE volume boost WHILE maintaining quality :good: .
music application of choice is "Music" by SONY because i find it to work best with V4A. just move the apk to system app to work.normal install dont work!
SYSTEM APPS REMOVAL: I removed those system apps,freeing a good chunk of storage AND RAM, WHILE maintaining stability and no FC'S or bugs or anything.
there is the following:
ChocoEUKor
RoseEUKor
SNS
PanningtryActually.apk
Best face
My Files
Adapt sound(needed to install V4A)
Capability manager service
simcardpermission
CoolEUkor
DirectConnectManager
Direct ShareManager
DroidSerifitalic
Enterprise permissions
Multimedia ui service layer
Page buddy noti svc
Remote controls
Samsung link connectivity
SyncmlDS
daydreams
Live wallpaper support
contacts sync Google
Nfc
Internet(stock browser,replace w ith chrome)
Music FX
vpn dialogs
deep sea
voice record
FWDupgrade
music sto ck app
Cloud agent
bcservice
enterprise sim pinservice
Flashbar service
syscope service
vpn services
factory mode
factory mode
factory test
ims framework
indiservicemanager
MDMApp
OMACP
pickup tutorial
ultracfg
And with all that, i achieved very little Ram consumption and less Cpu cycles :good:
I hope you find this useful!
see attachments for my RAM usage without pressing clear all, and boeffla kernel profile of my own.give it a try!
sorry for long post!
cheers!

Thanks for this, just what I needed, I just got this phone.. upgraded from galaxy s1 =) .. looking for a close to stock experience with some adds, without any bugs, ( on s1 we had "SauROM" ) .. I hope theres something similar for this device. Maybe ill try archis , is there any other alternatives?

well, I must say that you should use the rom in the link first to see if you like sammy stock but a bit modded.there are many roms but ported Roms e.g Blekotas roms are indeed beautiful BUT due time eventually it starts to lag, which is not developers fault, its just a port.

I have a issue, When I tried to install the zip, my CWM has no options to do so. All I have done so far is install CF-root. Do I need to install a recovery separately? how and what recovery should I install? Should I get boeffla kernel first?
And is there anything I should be worried about, do I need to update bootloader or anything like that. my current version is: i9300XXUGNA5 , with CF root.

Just flash TWRP not cwm its not compatible

Go to playstore and install supersu, it will say that root binary must be updated.it will ask you to reboot if it is successful. Then go to playstorw again and install twrp manager.and install twrp.it should be quick!

Uber 600 is a toolchain and it should be the best kernel for this phone because its faster than other toolchains, but is just a tad less stable.it worth flashing though!!

I keep getting software update notifications, but I have installed a newer firmware (archis) than what I think the phone want to download (the latest version for my region, sweden is older than archis firmware in his thread).
going into settings I do not really see a option to disable to search for these updates.
Do you also get this?

You need to edit this post, you should not be advertising warez ...
The developer of the app in question is also a member of these forums and I wouldn't like him seeing other members pointing to his software being cracked...

Do you really think 4.3 makes impact on Camera quality???

Thanks to the OP and some comments here! Maybe black themes like this could help with the battery life as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/vrtheme-allbacksblack-s3-3-hologrey-t2341829

ROMS for noob!!

hello OPs and ladies and germs , my device is Lg g2 d802 fully unlocked (unrooted) running Kitkat 4.4.2 (no carriers) . It was jellybean installed when i bought it but updated to kitkat 4.4.2 . been using it for a year or so now so no more warranty. So here are some questions i want to ask :
1: What rom do you recommend for for my Lg g2 d802 ? I want to try SOKP but i dont think there is an option for downloading as it is uncontinued development maybe i dunno. it will be my first rom i ever tried etc first of the first , but yeah any recommendations would help. All i want in a rom is which can enhance battery especially for browsing, i use my device mostly for browsing, one or 2 messenger apps and taking pics and trying out some apps thats basically it. So any recommneds for those purpose only.Also, i want to remove all the bloatwares from google cept playstore.
2: Will it cause heating problems and also the LED notifications will it still be there, is important to me .
3: What is flashing roms?,brick phone?
4: Can i backup my kitkat os like ghost image for windows so i can restore it just incase i made mistakes, you know.....(yes i know i have to root it)
P.s.- i am a noob and newbie at Andriod OS, its hard to find the right answers one wants in this forums sometimes.
Many thanks m8s. ^.^

Maybe start to read a lot! In order of interesting things (what I think):
1. rooting
2. custom recovery and back up
3. custom roms (flashing, bootloader, etc)

Almost same problem, trying to choose between CM and RR.
CM has bigger community, but RR looks better for me ) Both don't have signature faking for nogapps...

CM doesnt really grab me that much in general. Unless some devs add specific tweaks, so it become stable, better battery life and better camera quality and better SOT. CM alone isnt that great for LG g2 phones, so ive 'read'

Improve the 2015 LG Spirit 4G LTE h440n

Hi guys,
So .. I hate lag, that's why I wanna do something about my LG Spirit, cos it lags annoyingly much. Here's what I got - Lollipop 5.0.1, software version V10h-EUR-XX, Build LRX21Y, Kernel 3.10.49
So I heard of this SetCPU app and wanna give it a try. But to give it a try I need the phone to be rooted. Tried many ways to root it but couldn't. So far so BAD! Then heard something about flashing a custom ROM to the phone. Do I have to have the phone rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to it? Or the other way around? Do I have to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root the device? And which custom ROM to go for for my Spirit?
Ultimately, I wanna get rid of this lag and to do that I'm giving these 2 things a try - (1) root the phone somehow and install SetCPU to overclock the CPU to make the darn thing run faster and (2) flash a custom ROM cos I heard custom ROM can run much faster and lighter than the stock OOTB OS.
One thing I already did was to install the latest Nova Launcher Prime. That alone has made the phone more responsive. With the stock HOME it seemed to work slower. Or is it just me?
Anyway, help me out by answering some of my uncertainties and pls do give me a tip on how to proceed.
Cheers!

Currently there are no custom roms for lg spirit on xda. You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that. My suggestion is to follow the guidelines in Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread. You can root the device via Kingroot, search for it on xda.

Thank you very much for the input! Muchly appreciated!
I don't wanna use this Chinese mysterious stuff ... kingroot. I'd rather root with something else.
Could I tell me if I need to be rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to my phone or is it the other way - having to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root it? Which way around is it?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that.' What is an OC kernel? Are you saying that I cannot overclock my CPU because I need a custom ROM???
Any links to Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread?

You cannot root with anything else. There's no problem with it by the way so feel free to use it.
You have to root your phone first in order to install custom roms, but currently there are no custom roms for this device, nor unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (which is needed to install a custom rom).
An oc kernel is an OverClocked kernel which again we don't have yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...pu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
Here's the link ( you need root for this)

Thank you again. I just re-read your prev post and it now makes more sense to me. So apparently there's nothing in it for me to root, since we dont yet have and OverClocked kernel and any custom ROMs, meaning I can't squeeze out any benefit. Even if I managed to root the phone and installed SetCPU it won't help anything cos it won't let me overclock the CPU, due to the lack of an OC kernel as you said yourself.
So yeah ,.. thanks! Will give that link a look! Any idea when/how we'll ever get any custom ROMs and kernels for the LG spirit 2015? After all it's a cheap spin-off of the LG G4.
Is it just me or the Home Launcher also makes a difference? With the stock one things were kinda slow. With Nova Prime they seem kinda faster? Could it be or is it just me?
PS
I only wanted to root my phone so as to be able to overclock the CPU and make it run faster. I've read many reviews saying reasons why it is great to root your phone. However, since I can't overclock the CPU is there any other reason (in terms of making the phone faster and less laggy) why I would want to root it?

The home launcher does make a difference. The thread I shared with you contains a set of kernel settings which make the phone more responsive, have better multitasking, and conserve more battery. The developers at LG made weird settings to the kernel that's why we need to change them. But in order to do so, you need to root.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask you. Now I get the picture. I may have misunderstood you earlier, cos i though u said in order to overclock i need and overclock-able kernel, which does not exist. And it seems that at the thread you linked to the guys are doing exactly that - overclocking and tweaking settings to the cpu and kernel. I guess they're doing all that on the stock kernel and ROM. So the bottom line. is you don't necessarily need a custom ROM and kernel in order to tweak stuff in the SetCPU app such as the clockspeed of the CPU and other kernel settings.

I guess this is the KingRoot thread I should use to root my Spirit?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

Well, in any event .. I gotta say a big thank you for even pointing me to that thread cos that was exactly what I was looking for. But pls shed some more light on my last post.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask you. Now I get the picture. I may have misunderstood you earlier, cos i though u said in order to overclock i need and overclock-able kernel, which does not exist. And it seems that at the thread you linked to the guys are doing exactly that - overclocking and tweaking settings to the cpu and kernel. I guess they're doing all that on the stock kernel and ROM. So the bottom line. is you don't necessarily need a custom ROM and kernel in order to tweak stuff in the SetCPU app such as the clockspeed of the CPU and other kernel settings.

Hi guys,
So .. I hate lag, that's why I wanna do something about my LG Spirit, cos it lags annoyingly much. Here's what I got - Lollipop 5.0.1, software version V10h-EUR-XX, Build LRX21Y, Kernel 3.10.49
So I heard of this SetCPU app and wanna give it a try. But to give it a try I need the phone to be rooted. Tried many ways to root it but couldn't. So far so BAD! Then heard something about flashing a custom ROM to the phone. Do I have to have the phone rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to it? Or the other way around? Do I have to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root the device? And which custom ROM to go for for my Spirit?
Ultimately, I wanna get rid of this lag and to do that I'm giving these 2 things a try - (1) root the phone somehow and install SetCPU to overclock the CPU to make the darn thing run faster and (2) flash a custom ROM cos I heard custom ROM can run much faster and lighter than the stock OOTB OS.
One thing I already did was to install the latest Nova Launcher Prime. That alone has made the phone more responsive. With the stock HOME it seemed to work slower. Or is it just me?
Anyway, help me out by answering some of my uncertainties and pls do give me a tip on how to proceed.
Cheers!

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Try looking here
There are various threads and i'm sure there is something to take in consideration.
Good luck!

Thank you for the input! I appreciate it!

Ammm ... wait, what happened to the comments the other user made? They just got deleted or what? I cannot see them any more and I am logged in ... and I can see nilac's comments... so what gives?

I guess it would be nice, if possible, to move this whole thread to http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-spirit ... that's where I wanted to post the thread anyway, but just couldn't find it. But still, if anyone can tell me what on earth happened with the comments the other user made to my posts ... it would be nice. His username is thomekk91 and I pdf'ed the thread luckily so I still have his comments, but I see no reasons why they got removed? Anyone?

Done. The thread will be moved soon.

trying to root now and so they have kingroot 4.6 now and it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...x-5-0-t3107461 that:
We have two versions, one is mobile version( app) for one-click root, another is desktop version for root some special device which can not be rooted by mobile one. Attention please that the desktop version may be flash third party Recovery into your device.
and then
KingRoot is an amazing tool for "lazy people" who just want to get root access but don't want to flash any third party Recovery into their lovely device.
So first they say one thing and then kinda something else. What is the risk/problem with flashing 3rd party Recovery into my phone? Why would I want/not want that? and lastly ... which method to use - mobile or desktop?

Can i Update software when i have root?

Rom sugestions?

Hi guys!
Is already have my OP5 since a month and using FreedomOS with Franco Kernel since the 2nd day I got it in my hand.
I am pretty happy in everything it brongs me both things, but I want to ask to people who has another custom ROM (xXx NoLimits, Resurrection Remix, ExperienceOS, etc) / Kernel on its device (I do not know a lot of kernels but I saw Franco and people (and his developer) told me some features and they hat reason is very smooth good and customizable with its own app.
So which Rom do you have? Magisk or SuperSu? Which Kernel is the best for you? :victory:
I want to get your personal opinion and your experience, I hope more people have the questions I did it and here we can help us each other with our opinion about using X rom X kernel and some more features that I can not put it here because I do not know if there are more things (my last Z5 I used mods and tweaks to make better performance but if you have a kernel like France you do not need this).
Thank you very much for your help :fingers-crossed:

I'm using xXx no limits and use the AKT (advanced kernel tweaks or so?) mod.
I don't know about the kernels but the ROM itself is my favorite.
It has an aroma installer (you pick which features you want before installing them) with many options.
You won't need to download gapps, magisk/ supersu and some stuff like xposed separately. It's very convenient.
Everything is smooth.
The stereo mod (using the earpiece as a speaker for music and videos) is something which is weird as it's used for something it wasn't meant to be used but still a very nice addition.
It's basically a faster stock OOS (oxygen OS) in a bundle with some root functionality added.
This shall be it for now. I hope that I could help you. Fell free to ask if you have any questions

I am using pure stock since I got this phone on the 4th of September and I have to say since then I stopped being a flasholic.

PureFusion because I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL before this phone and ran PureNexus on those, and PureFusion is based on that. It's the only ROM that I feel provides just the right amount of features for me (not too much and not too less).
I'm using the stock kernel now because using custom kernels would introduce issues.
I did have the phone randomly reboot on Me 2 times so far but I can't say for sure that it's the ROM that is causing it.
Overall it's my favourite one out of the handful I have tried and I would definitely recommend it!!

Gonna go with stock as well. Stock kernel or Franco. Gotta say, better speed and battery than the other stuff out there. You gotta figure a whole company can do much better in software development than 1 guy or a team of 5 or 6 people.

Pure Fusion here too because its given me an extremely better battery life from the normal 3 hours SOT, i now get roughly 6 . Stock Kernel with the rom because it's just good for me all in all, maybe will try Franco sometime down the road because, i've been along time supporter. Magisk just because I don't need much except YouTube without ads, also can use Snapchat and other apps flawlessly! Good Luck!

I watched too Pure Fusion OS, but I need to know if I can install it jsut the Rom of do I need too one of the gapps that are they in the original post the gapps, bu I need to know how to install it?
Do I just make a clean install or i do a clean install and I install one of the gapps?
I must ask too, if I have unlocked the bootloeader, does that mean I have my mobile encrypted? Can I install Pure Fusion OS without problem?

What I normally do is wipe everything but internal memory, install room along with gapps I use open and it boots up! And you're all good to go !

It doesn't really matter. You can download open gapps or one for the others (forgot the names. Hehe).
You'll have to flash the ROM first and then the gapps file in the recovery. That's it.
But beware. Playing with your phones software doesn't come without risks. Read a lot about what you have to do and preferably try it on a phone to practice before doing it on your normal phone.
It can break your phone and I don't think that you can/ want to buy a new one. I had bricked my first phone a week after getting into root and custom ROMs.
The problems after that have driven me crazy but I was going to buy a new phone anyway.
LPT: If you want to flash something, wait for stable releases as long as you're inexperienced. Wait till others have tried that and then flash it. That way, you'll avoid some of the problems that you would struggle for a long time to fix.
And don't forget this. Keep an eye on the forums to see what problems people are reporting of and how to solve or avoid them in the first place.
Hope I could help

Arm 64/ 7.1 / And then you can choose which you like i don't need everything from Google so i'm sure what to select and as the previous post it has a stable and beta build PERSONALLY i'm using the beta and no problems at all! Any other questions feel free to ask!

This is an age old question..
You need to ask yourself not us.
What is your favourite car ? Mines a McLaren or a nismo, or a s2000 or robocops car.
You may disagree..
So what do you like, flash a bunch and see for yourself..
Bare in mind these threads usually get closed.

I'm using pure fusion and love it.
