original:
new one, GPU only rendering:
reboot, done!

I dont notice anything but it dint hurt anything either so...eh

I did using a German app called tagesschau
The mod seems to force gpu rendering on all apps, that used cpu before

There is a force GPU option in developer settings already? Is this different?

I can't notice any difference.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

it really wont make any difference.
the first 0 is the screen (we have one screen its screen 0)
the second 1 means the device renderer that follows must take priority
a second 0 means only use this device if the other one fails.
so
01 means take priority, 00 is a fallback.
in this case it means
screen 0 adreno is default, if the adreno fails then use software rendering.
If 0 0 isn't there, and for some reason the (In this case gfx hardware) doesn't render it, the gfx output will fail.
so it works best as it is.

Yeah the whole force GPU for rendering is kinda bs since Android 4.0 and all the apps that came out. Most of the popular apps are just fine the way they are coded. Also with forcing GPU rendering you could break some apps, especially legacy (2.3-) apps.

Depends on the device(not so much on the OS level), for example Samsung Galaxy 3 & 4 do use CPU rendering for the SMS and EMail app...

Probably because they are legacy. But so what? Is it slowing down the rendering? I possibly don't think so. And if it does, than GPU rendering is still silly because of the developer's choice.

Yes,it's slowing down, that's the whole reason for this "fix". Everything should be rendered by the GPU, just like on the iPhone 5 to get a smooth user experience!

Well, I tried this tweak, but my device won't boot, because probably the relevant GPU libs are not pre-loaded and the booting sequence will just fail! This tweak worked perfectly on my Xperia P but not on my XZ. Any suggestion? Did you try to boot your device? BTW, the boot animation is really slowed down! Thanks.

Yes, I use stock 253 fw for the xperia z and have rebooted several times, but I have an unlocked bootloader, not sure if that matters.

For things that do not rely on the DRM keys, having your boot-loader unlocked is likely to have the same effect on your phone as having your car/house unlocked.

I would love to help you, but I'm to inexperienced I guess - do run a stock system? And you only changed the cfg file by hand, not using any zip file from the original mod?

Yes, that's correct. I only changed the cfg file by hand... actually I renamed the original cfg file to *.bak and created a new *.txt file and renamed it to *.cfg with the new settings! Should have I set any specific permissions? Did I somehow break the cfg file and/or the system did not recognize it as such? How about that? How did you exactly proceed? Did you manually, perhaps, "clone" the original cfg file and there implemented the changes?! Thanks.

That, and never ever again use notepad to do anything android-specific. EVER. Same goes for wordpad. Use a advanced text editor, like Notepad++ which knows how to handle breaks in the unix-way.
GEdit (Ubuntu) and OS X default notepad are fine.

[MOD][ICS][CWM]Flashable Quad lock screen for Stock ICS 4.0.4.

Hey guys, compiled the AOKP basic Quad Lock screen and made it flashable via CWM for the ones who love the stock "flavour" and sticks to the ota rom like me.
This can be used with stock DEODEX and ODEX roms aswell.
Hit thanks if you enjoy it .

QuadLock for Deodex roms
Quad Lock for Odex roms
Since quadlock shares the same files as Extended power menu, if you want both get this file below, only for deodex roms atm.

Look into your /system/framework/ dir, if there are many .odex files you probably got an odexed rom, else is deodexed.
I've flashed it and everything is perfect. There isn't any lag when launching the phone/message/camera app with this lock screen.
I'm currently on a ODEX rom (official 4.0.4) and running air kernel V4.0
Thanks!
And btw, post more things for ODEX roms!
*******ooooops, found a bug (glad I made an nand backup)**********
When the phone is on the dock, the lock screen doesn't work properly. The lock screen seems ok, everything is on it's place, but the shortcuts aren't working.
-When I use the camera shortcut, nothing happens;
-When I use the phone shortcut, nothing happens;
-When I use the message shortcut, I get to the phone app instead of the message app.
-And finally when try to unlock the phone, I get to the camera app.
Anyway, if you don't have a Nexus S dock, you shouldn't have any problems.
Thank you for your report.
Yes, this is not meant to be used in Landscape, ICS lockscreen rotate isn't enabled by default. Also didn't know the existance of such dock got my NS since less then a month.
Took a look again at the code and figured out wich is the problem:
the lockscreen has fixed position that overlap each other when in landscape.
Normally it doesn't matter cos Unlock goes from 0 to 1, and camera from 2 to 3.
But the problem exists when you add more shortcut:
As u can see is easy to understand why 2 were working (wrong) and 2 not at all.
This would require some more coding.

Thanks for the answer. Well, as much as I enjoyed the new lock screen, I won't be able to use it since my phone is most part of the day docked.
About the dock, it's very simple, and only charges the phone. And while the phone is docked, you don't have access to the volume keys , perhaps a design problem.
(link to the dock)
And also thanks for the ODEX mods!

Atm one overwrite the other since they involves the same files, you've to mod those files with both mods at same times to make them working like i have on my phone.
is there a way to revert back without nandroid? I get to the new lock screen, then it says apex launcher stopped working, then android keyboard, then reboots. Rinse and repeat

it was nandroid time. tried again, same thing. Not sure why it was doing what it was doing.
Nandroid again. This time, I took my framework, decompiled it, changed the lock screen rotate, compiled, signed, flashed. Same thing. Why or what would cause it to get to the lock screen then just reboot??
@technogravy will post soon a zip with both mods.
@black please report wich rom and wich file are you using , will investigate the issue.

Im on stock 4.0.4 GSM
I know yours had more changes, mine only had one change, and I even decompiled an compiled a untouched one and got the same results.
I decompiled framework-res.apk
changed <bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">true</bool>
saved recompiled signed and flashed
Now, Im a total noob at this, so I may have messed up somewhere, but my mod did the same thing yours did so thats where Im at.
Maybe later today, ill nandroid again, go to 100 percent stock, and try again. Now that I think of it, I have a battery circle mod that gave some issues and the guy who fixed it did something with the framework file too. :/
@black you can read the explanation few post above. This is not intended to work in landscape mode. It would require a complete code rewrite as for now the positions are fixed. So if you set that value to true it'not gonna work. And if you use other mods there's always a chance something won't work, this is the main issues of odex roms.

Removing the proxy setting shouldn't have any negative effect. SMS/MMS are handled via separate fields in the APN setting

Read what the message says and follow those instructions.
Attached is pictures of what you need to wipe out. May look slightly different on your phone, as mine is still on gingerbread, because i like the sense UI.
just in case clearing the proxy does break something, write down what is there before you wipe it.
Not sure about adaway, but i must say adfree is the best...
i seem to be using it for ages and never had an issue.
goto market download 'adfree' by i think tin can or something...
install it...
a pop up will come with 2 options, just choose boot normally.
it'll offer to download some new files, let it.
once its finished reboot your device & your phone will be ad free

[MOD]Atrix Fast GPS Lock

Atrix Fast GPS Lock
Hi, this mod make the lock really fast, lock in no more than 60 seconds, by default is set for USA but you can change that
In order to get the lock you need to change your position, which means you can't stay sit and wait for the lock, so do a walk, not need to go too far, from bedroom to the kitchen would work.
Just flash it from recovery and test it with gps status
UPDATE:
If you think it couldn't go faster try the update, for better lock edit "/system/etc/gps.conf" line #1 "h-slp.mncXXX.mccYYY.pub.3gppnetwork.org" with the mnc:mcc of your carrier, 3 digit each, line #3 "us.pool.ntp.org" with your ntp country
Changelog:
v05182013 - A cocktail of bins and confs files
v05192013 - Added new bins and confs files, no need to do a walk, just shake it, no kidding, shake it
v06062013 - added some new libraries thx to ravilov
Still not locking? try post #10

Install the Faster gps application:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=ru
It's free.
Open It and change - - > You'll see, it's very simple!
I saw this addon contains more files relative to the other.
So I did a little experiment.
Extract the file gps.conf from GPS Neutrino addon, which is in Brazil.zip
I deleted the file gps.conf from this addon (Atrix4g-GpsFix.zip).
Applied the gps.conf file (extracted from Neutrino addon) in Atrix4g-GpsFix.zip
Installed through recovery and ... BINGO!!!
Gps configured!
Now I just need to test, here where I live the signal is weak due to the top floors of the house, I will test later on the street.

If, your atrix shows satts but is not making the lock try this, flash lbstestmode and make a shortcut with nagopy.file.shortcut, then open lbstestmode an check you have everything set like caps in applications settings and supl/cp settings, should restart to save changes

Just a side note, there are some binaries in the package too, plus it modifies the system's gps.conf file, so this procedure won't get you rid of everything.

how do i disable this firmware update nag window in Settings?

hi guys,
first of all, i am rooted. and i have googled for so many solutions to completely remove "Software Update" from the settings
NOTE: I have disabled to get updates automatically before this pops up. it came after a few days. :S
i have tried:
- removing otacerts.zip
- removing the fota agent apk
- disabling software update via package disabler
yet i still see this nag window?
any solution from you guys would be great!
appreciate it
right now im considering to re-wipe it and then before it receives an OTA, i will delete the otacerts as well as remove the fota agent first.

Although i have removed FotaAgent.apk from priv-app
Mine is the N9208 duos
Could this be a variant problem?

Everything is possible really.. What you should do is download a terminal emulator from the Play Store and find out what the processes name is that way you can disable it yourself while in the terminal.

Not really good with linux knowledge but will definitely google around
Thanks again for your replies. At least it gives me a rough idea of this problem

It's one way to learn how to use your phone's system better. Nothing beats knowing Linux/Unix language! It's also fun to learn about but only if you actually want to!
Have you deleted the actual downloaded update file from /cache? (I believe that's where it's located)

hi.
problem is i cant find com.samsung.sdm anywhere in my phone.
but i have disabled fota, spdclient
soagent.apk (this was software update) in my phone instead. so i disabled this.

Phone freezing on boot.

Alright guys, so this is a strange issue. My Nexus 6 tends to freeze and reboot right after turning the device on if I shut off the screen right away, it doesn't freeze if I leave the screen on long enough for SuperSU to give my usual apps the permissions. It's kind of strange because it seems to not do this with a fresh factory image installed, but over time it slowly starts doing this, leading me to think it may be an app I have. I had another member tell me it was the bootloader being glitchy and it could be fixed with the next software release. Anyone else have this happen to them on their devices? I'll get a logcat if it's needed, just let me know! Thanks all and happy flashing! :angel:

What custom rom are you running? Custom kernel? Did you add xposed framework? Did you make any under the hood manual changes to it like build.prop? What radio and kernel are you currently running? Could you provide me a logcat?

It's stock Android, Elite kernel (Elemental X also seems to do this), xposed IS installed, and I just removed docs, sheets, and slides from the system with a root explorer. I'll get ya a logcat and see if I can get the device to do it again.

I am pretty sure its not the kernel level, it booted into android. Try fresh install of android and if it still does it then provide me a logcat.

Is there a way to get a logcat on boot without unlocking the device and changing the usb mode to PTP? The device seems to do this if I let the screen go off after first boot without unlocking it, and after about a minute or two. Or is PTP the only way to get it to log with adb?

Just download a decent rated logcat from the play store. Just download Catlog and you need root or aLogcat

I have catlog installed actually, does it get wiped if the device freezes?

No there should be a way to set it. I would just run it for like 5 minutes and i can see what its doing. Like I said before worse case scenario you would fastboot back to stock and wipe data/cache to see if flashing stock doesnt fix it but the easy/quick way first especially with your apps on there

I just flashed full stock today with a full wipe to reinstall a rom and kernel so i know its a clean install. This way when i setup my phone I will back up a clean ROM not a rom that has had a few miles on her. lmao

Did you get a logcat?
raise your voltage for your highest cpu speed by 10mV

I have not been able to recreate the issue for some reason. It chooses to do it a lot sometimes and other times not at all. Go figure, when I make a thread I can't recreate it :/ I'll keep trying though! Hopefully I can.

Which do I change and to what? This is ex kernel manager, I'm using elite kernel. I never messed with the voltage because I have no idea what any of this is to be honest [emoji14] thanks Simms!

raise your top cpu speed(probably 2649mhz) by 10mV up, to 1130mV.

many people randomly lower their voltages, to "save" battery. but, this doesn't save battery. most are just believing what pwople who think wrong tell them. but.. raising your voltage a little can bring mire stability. which is what i do when i oc to 3033mhz, i raise my voltage by 25mV.
