Database Users

Seems to be less traffic of late.

Did everyone go buy a Microsoft Winblows Surface or what?
I've had the 10.1 since day 1 in the US.I watched the "Development" and the "Original Development" forums start out slow then swell to huge numbers where there was a new ROM every day it seemed.I remember when JB came out and we all started out with Darkman's German release ( I stayed up most of the night hitting refresh as more and more people commented on the progress of their individual downloads to see who would be the first few to flash it) ...now it seems very quiet indeed . I dont think there has been a better tablet made yet than this one (as far as pure hardware stats go plus the s-pen) sure a few have higher stats in one area or the other but from my research I would say that 8013/8000/8010 are still King.Possibly with the exception of 8020.
Anyway Ive rambled long enough but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.Again the question was.1)Has ayone else noticed a drop off in traffic in "Note 10.1 Original Android Development" & "Note 10.1 Android Development"?
2)Why do you think its happening?
Thank for reading.
You aint special

There just havent been any news on the note for a while.
I got the nexus 4 and im spending most of my time on their forums nowadays

I think you're right. Fewer posts, less frenzy. I guess our beloved Note 10.1 is old news now. With consumers 10 second attention span, those of us with Notes are "so yesterday". That's okay. I still love mine and plan to keep it for long time.

They dont come here to look for solutions/workarounds as there are no major issues. There are no issues to solve!
I only glance this forum once a while to see new accessories / apps that ppl are raving about...
I dont even open development section, as i love stock rom...!

I have also noticed a lack of participation lately. Checked Ebay only 58 used vs 203 new active auctions for Note 10.1's. So........ not a lot of jumpers.
I had expected to see more posts last night as a new build was pushed out to me yesterday.
But all seems quiet.
.

Don't forget, as the weather improves in the Northern Hemispere more people are getting outside for RL activities. Forums see more activity when the weather outside is uninviting.

I'm working on a rom as I just got my tab like a week ago. I hope it's not dead

There are not many takers for note 10.1 but those who use it love it.

samsung have pretty much nailed it for me, with the stock rom, so for the 1st time no need flash anything else.

I have also noticed a decline in activity, but I plan on starting kernel development over the summer mainly for baked#8.
Don't expect any miracles as I am only just starting developing

Only device i have that is Fine stock
I would agree with some of the others above and some from other post in this forum. The note is one of the best most well thought out android devices. The only device i have ever owned that i have not played with the rom on. Thou Im considering the extra mutli rom app to add a few non muli view apps to mulit view.. But with that said more and more apps are becoming available for multi view.. Samsung has done well with the note no doubt..
Conclusion is.. There is less people in this forum because there are more people Happy with the Note and what it offers Stock. Rom dev has slowed because the note is great as is. Also i will add i think its a tougher device to mess with its Rom due to s-pen and the touch wiz
...
Erica Renee Loves her Note 10.1..... I will play with the roms and themes on my toy The nexus 7 .. I have 6 different roms multi booting on it ...

I thought I'd hate TW, but other than rooting it (and upgrading the kernel out of habit 'cause that's what I do for a living anyway) I run a Stock ROM.

more updates will come and new ROM will be made .. 4.1.2 has been out for a while and 4.2 should be coming soon.. also not many things wrong with note on stock and cm based ROM is not taking advantage of the note full features.. Maybe Google will add some of Samsung features in android 5.0..

Just read last night that the note 10.1 has only about 3% of android tablet market share. I was surprised it was so low. Maybe that's why there isn't a lot of activity.

The price point is too high for the note 19.1or 8 to get much market share. Samsung is rolling in the dough because of carrier subsidies of their high end phones. If those end, they're going to have to make adjustments to their pricing or they stand to see their market share fall.

Let's hope Samsung can unbreak JB 4.2. Nexus device owners are reporting in the Google Code forums that BT remains broken in the latest iteration of 4.2. Audio BT seems completely broken (including in auto BT systems) while other BT devices may connect but then shut down, requiring a device reboot. Merging Android into Chrome doesn't bode well, which seems to be the direction Google is going as evidenced by the shift of Android to the manager of Chrome.

Looks like the results are based on devices that install their app. Not really an accurate gauge imo

I used to frequent the Asus Transformer forums a lot because I was going crazy with installing different roms and doing whatever I can to the device. With the Note, I actually use it for pretty well-defined purposes and so I haven't really had any inclination to change it in any way since it's already so damned useful. I mean, once I got the multiwindow to work for all apps, I didn't need any additional customizing so I only occasionally glance at these forums. :/ The troubles of being so good.

That's pretty much true. The N7100 forum is pretty quiet too. Want to see a ghost town, go check out the TF700 forum. The Note 10.1's nine months old which, in the tech world, means not so fresh anymore. I still wouldn't trade mine for anything. So, no news is good news. Samsung's been pushing features of their newer devices down via updates so 4.2 with some of the SGS4's stuff should give us something to talk about.

It is pretty good, I can confirm that logcat dos not show any errors. There does not seem to be an autobrightness issue. However, I do not like the design..

No, I use the sense version. It has some bugs but for me it is acceptable (you wont find a perfect asop).
I just had one bug where I needed to take out battery (I could not unlock the screen although phone was still alive).

I installed this with the flashtool. It seems okay, and the interface (bog-standard Android?) is more familiar (to me at least) than the Miui interface.
Problems so far:
* seems not to support 5G WiFi (the Xiaomi ROMs support 5G WiFi) [Edit: miraculously, 5G WiFi is now working! ]
* battery percentage not shown
* can't see the patterns that you are drawing, if you are trying to protect the lock screen with a pattern
* my antivirus program doesn't like any of the themes apks that the Theme Manager is downloading (perhaps these are false positives - but I happen to trust my antivirus program)

What kind of screen on time are you getting? On the AOSP ROMs I struggle to hit 2 hours and day of use so i went back to MIUI.

Yes, pattern unlock is a bit tricky, you need to draw an invisible pattern before Smart Lock becomes available. Then there is an option to make the pattern visible. Maybe proceed with caution

Here are excerpts from comments I posted about the rom in another forum:
"A couple of days ago, I noticed the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Cinafoniaci AOSP Rom on Needrom. It took my interest because the creator, Simone Quarrera is also the developer of Space MTK Tool [project to update MTK Droid Tools for 64 bit devices].
I have been using the rom for a day plus & so far it is excellent. I am most impressed that the latest version of Xposed Installer ran immediately without issue. Last week, I tried AOSP Rom V3 by MD Steam, but Xposed wouldn't work, so I quickly abandoned it. I was resigned to staying with Miui & waiting for WSM Tools [Xposed alternative] to be updated to Miui 7. But now, I am happy to be back in familiar aosp territory. I like some things about Miui, e.g. beautiful themes and the stock apps, camera, compass & browser [smooth flash player]. I have made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so can go back & compare some time.
On first boot, the rom gives the option of retaining apps & settings from the previously installed rom. I didn't choose this option, preferring Titanium Backup to set up. Here are some features of the rom:
Material TWRP 2.8.7
Mobile Space Tool – includes Xposed, SuperSU, ADBD Insecure, Eng. Mode, Cpu Freq, Viper4 Android FX, Custom Themes
Stock Launcher is similar to Nova/Apex but with less options & can be coupled with the rom's themes
Miravision & ClearMotion
OTA updates – work in progress, I think
Notification leds working, but are not included in System Settings. A third party app is necessary. I am using Light Manager.
Battery life seems similar to Miui 7. Here is a screenshot of screen on time with battery at 57%:"

I think the developer will appreciate any feedback on bugs. Probably, the best place for this is Needrom [unless you're able to post in the Italian forum].
By the way, I don't use a screen lock, so pattern unlock is not an issue for me....
I am really happy with this rom & will likely stay with it. When I have time, I will under clock to see if battery life is extended. On miui 7 v. 5.11.1, I under clocked to 1.625 Ghz as the phone felt hot in the hand [I live in a hot climate]. I was surprised to see that on screen time life extended way beyond 6 hours [note: not 'normal' conditions, i.e. at home, wifi on, mobile data/gps/bluetooth disabled; ds battery saver to limit wake locks ]. Under clocked, the PC Mark Battery Life Test result was 6 hours 56 minutes [average for RN2 is 6 hours 4 minutes]. For me, under clocking didn't affect performance on the miui rom. Edit: Under clocked to 1.625 ghz → some lag in task switching/opening apps, no improvement in battery life.

@kusala thank you so much for your review
I was thinking about trying aosp too, mainly because of xposed and because some things of miui need to be improved yet in my opinion
However I need to decide between this and delirium proyect, maybe I'll try both. Did you try that one?
On the other hand, just for curious why are you so xposed dependant? Which modules do you need more?
And...anyone has a reliable zip for recovery of cinafoniaci?
Thanks

I haven't tried Delirium. The reason I flashed the Cinafoniaci rom is because I have seen other work by the developer & have confidence in his ability. If you contact Simone via Needrom with a request for a custom zipped rom, he may be able to help. I made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so wasn't concerned about using sp flash tool.
Re xposed, I currently have 13 modules installed. The ones most useful are Gravity Box [so many options], RecentApp Clear [improves recent apps in the Cina rom], Fix Lollipop Memory Leak, YouTube AdaAway & Xposed Torch [vol up activates torch when screen off].

[Discussion] The LG G5 discussion thread

Hello LG G5 users , feel free to talk here about anything related to the LG G5 :good:
Thread Rules
1. Respect the others
2. This is an LG G5 thread , do not talk about any other LG phone here.
3. Use appropriate langage.
4. And of course , respect xda rules.
So what do you think about this LG phone ?

Hi guys , thread opened thanks to @KennyG123 , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.
I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.
Enjoy

This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.

@CorruptProfile Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.
How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?

Look at 2:19

I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to @Soufiansky so he can post them instead.

What about the module thing ? I saw a lot of issues about it these days
Sent from my GT-P5100 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.

It is subjective. Everyone will have their own opinion. In my opinion. For battery stock eui rooted. For ease of use cm13 because it's like every other ROM I used on other phones.

I would suggest starting out with CM simply because the devs are very popular, reliable and I personally have a friend who is amazing with Android who tried many roms. His favorite is CM. I am considering installing it myself. Just doing research like you are. Extra feedback is welcome.

I also think CM13.0 (Team Superluminal) is the way to go at the moment.
I'm using it on my LEX720 and i've had zero problems so far.

With the last ROM cm-13.0-20161226-TS-le_zl1, There are 2 problems ( in the site teamsuperlumina ):
1) dual SIM
2) NFC Does not work
FOR ME THE BEST ROM IS "GROSSOSHOP-X720_LEECO_LEPRO3_20S", zero problem, Works better than the original.
hy people do not talk about "GROSSOSHOP", on XDA ?

Stock gets my vote, with or without root. Battery life is crazy, currently have over 11.5hrs SOT, 40hrs uptime, and about 18% remaining (only charged to 90%, not 100). This was achieved over WiFi + 2G/LTE + Wi-Fi calling. I'm considering rooting in order to freeze the LeEco junk, but I also want to see if the performance cluster of the 820 can be disabled.

You are right ace42, But I use the ROM grossoshop for 3 days and, The battery is still 30%.
The battery of the leeco pro 3 and really good with the stock ROM and the grossoshop ROM.
But, I still have to test the ROM "TARS_20s_by_Steve_Mars_Final_Version".

Also works just fine for me to pair with my sony bluetooth headphones. Team SuperLuminal's cm13 rom get's my vote, at least for the time being its the best cm13 based rom. The stock rom has "great battery life" at the expense of hackish battery saving. I had lots of issues with notifications, and then with the power saving junk turned off, my battery life became about the same as the cm13 rom, which is well over a day even with heavy use. With a ~4000 mah battery and the newest 14nm processor there shouldn't be a need for the "battery saving" features in the stock rom.

I haven't had any notification issues. Telegram, kik, SMS/MMS, and Skype messages are all received. I can't speak on Whatsapp since it's not as popular in the states, most people I know rely on SMS here, but outside of the US people like Whatsapp, Line, and so on. And more battery is always welcomed, which is why battery assistant is great. Having a large battery doesn't mean its runtime suddenly becomes irrelevant, my G2 used to get around 6-8hrs, so I'm happy to finally have a new device that could best it. Even if I were to buy a new notebook/tab with Kaby Lake I'd still try to squeeze just a little more juice out of its battery.
I don't know about you, but I tend to forget to charge my devices, as I also carry my laptop, another phone, and bluetooth earphones with me. Battery saving techniques (incl agg doze or amplify) can save you in situations where you might not be able to charge.

No clue, as I have the 727. This is a modded version of the US update for your variant.

I've also experienced a few hiccups with notifications. I have a Garmin smartwatch and for some unapparent reason my notifications weren't working. I tried several things to fix to no avail. After I restarted the notifications started working again. I've also had a few glitches with the pop up copy paste text menu where it closes after a few seconds without being able to use it. Maybe a few others I could be forgetting.

Have you tried the dialer code to access the hidden menu?
Dial *#*#46360000#*#* , then disable resource control and reboot the phone.

Yes

I flashed this two roms:
- T.A.R.S. 5.9.20s by Steve Mars Final Version
- And Grossoshop from this link: https://mega.nz/#!tUkUQJwZ!h3tniWVWlSiYJICadW7MuEdYLDFKfNmNcEOBQ-eL1JM
I like Steve Mars rom, my phone is few days old so I came from stock rom 5.8.0.18S I can see the difference in the Steve rom it's better. Grossoshop also work you gotta try it for yourself.
Happy new years and Cheers

Recommendations for which OS to run on my A7

I have a A2017G and am currently running RR Nougat (unofficial one from @genesixxbf3). I use double sim (+SD card) and also use encryption and a dark theme through Substratum. I run nanodroid via magisk (also rooted via magisk) and no Gapps. I like to update every quarter or so in order to have the latest security patches. I am having issues with mobile data not working after going into flight mode (this is my main problem) or even at random and a few infrequent reboots. I have been waiting for Oreo but it seems that has become very uncertain.
Question: which OS should I run so that I can still have double sim, encryption and preferably a dark theme. I might consider using XPrivacyLua to keep google at bay instead of microG. I am tired of losing my data connection. What should I do? I can see some options:
a. go back to stock Nougat,
b. go to the beta stock Oreo 8.0
c. go to standard LineageOS 14.1
What would be the right move to make? Are there any others to consider?
Thx for any feedback.

LOS 15 is coming out very shortly apparently. Maybe just wait out for that since it should be here during the next couple of days (Although it could also not, depends on if they end up having problems with the release). I would regardless still wait for its release and then make a decision .

I highly doubt it. I think he means the Oreo beta for the chinese A2017, that has been out for a while.

It's around though. Not leaked because nobody wants to have trouble with ZTE, but we're using it and some people are making a ROM out of it

B12 U beta. Supposedly it had battery problems so they made B14/15 (or 13, can't remember) but it actually works like a charm and there's no MiFavor anywhere to be seen.
The only problems I've seen are basically again ZTE engineers being themselves... The navbar and quick settings/notifications shade are completely Oreo AOSP, but they seem to be implemented in a weird way and Subs can't theme them.
As of battery I'm getting 4h SOT @ 2300 mAh batt, and Fairpark akt profile

Well, that only leaves me wanting it more, ahah. I'm a "purist". I hate Nougat B10, my battery life has gone to **** and my phone is only 6 months old. Couldn't care less about warranty since this is a 150$ phone on eBay now so I'm just waiting for something good to move to.

Accubattery, about 5 measurements all with screen off

This whole lack of dual SIM on Oreo ROMs is a complete roadblock to even trying any of them. I won't bother with any Nougat ROMs either. Mine will stay stock Nougat unless we end up with either official Oreo or a properly functional and reliable custom based on it.

What i am wondering about tho since the last few days is why not anyone who has the latest beta version, creates a new anonymous account and leaks it that way.
I mean im still patient and wait for a final statement from zte, even though its unlikely that things will get better when reading the recent news.
But isn't it like super easy to get away with leaking it like that? Or do each update packages have unique ID's in them that would reveal who leaked it?

You don't even know what I'm talking about lol. Someone sent it to other person, then he leaked it on a small group, then I got it. I asked about a week ago or two whether it'd be okay to leak it already (and I said that I would do it if nobody else wanted to) and they basically said no

Nah it's okay, I got the joke anyways, but I think it belongs more to the guy that leaked it than to ZTE now. I don't know if beta ROMs have any identifier to know who leaked it.

And ZTE has way bigger problems to deal with than chasing someone that leaks a firmware update. That makes customers happier thus releasing pressure from them.
