I recently updated my C1504 to the 11.A.2.23 firmware, and I have to say its good.
But there seems to be a response problem with the status/notification bar. If drops down a second-or-two after I swipe it down. Guys trust me it feels very irritating!
Has anyone else got/solved this problem?
Moreover, why did Sony remove 'headphone surround' from the audio engine?

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I WAS OF ANY HELP
Hello,
I'm on 11.3.A.2.23 to, and... I don't have any lag at all! Everything runs smooth, no problems here. Perhaps you haven't much RAM left? The only way to make your phone a lot faster is to root it, or to unlock the bootloader(for Custom Kernels and ClockWorkMod). ofcourse there are also options for non-rooted users, but these won't help as much as the tips listed under here. So you may want to consider to root your device. Ofcourse you can also delete a few apps(and more, but these options don't have the great variery, rooted phones have.)
Warning! These tipps I give you are only for rooted users! This will only work if your device is rooted!
1. Try to hibernate(freeze, don't let it to eat up CPU speed) a few apps with Greenify. That feeling man, that feeling, Everything goes smoother! And if you open one of the apps you have hibernated, it still reacts fast! Great improvement for the crappy CPU of the E.
2. Download SetCPU. The great improvement to your phone, is more than worth a small donation to the great developer of this app. I currently have overclocked my phone to 600 mHz, while the capacity of the E's CPU only 512 is. It speeds up your device, but can kill your processor and/or battery.
3. Download Root App Delete, and remove the pre-installed crapware on your phone, like: Google(15 MB), Google +(31 MB), Chrome(25 MB). And more! You'll get a lot of new space!
If you don't want to root your device, fine! I will give you a few tips for non-rooted users, if you want to. But with a rooted phone, you can do much more to improve your speed, than with a non-rooted phone!
Cheers, and good luck!
Duh, I am rooted !

Dude....I rooted my phone a second after the update was installed.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Already removed the bloatware, changed the CPU governor to performance (for a constant 1 GHz), Greenified everything (YES, EVERYTHING),
High Minfree values applied, 224MB of DVM cache assigned, DNS set to Google DNS, pretty much everything you can do to a locked-bootloader stock ROM that is rooted!
And hold on, the E's CPU can go upto 1008 MHz in stock kernel, not 512MHz as you mentioned.
And how did you OVERCLOCK using SetCPU ? I never found any such option
Hello,
Oh, you're right! The CPU has indeed a capacity of 1 GHz... Sorry for that. And for the overclocking part with SetCpu, just set your mininum speed to 1008 MHz and your maximum also. This can heat up your phone pretty fast, and can kill your processor, but nevermind .My tip is to go to the profiles tab and hit enable profiles. And then set up a profile that slows your CPU down when the battery is overheated(I chose 45 degrees Celsius). And set the priority to 100 so it has a privilege over other profiles you might use. This will extend your battery life! It lets me run Temple Run: Oz very smooth, and without little to zero lag, and if my battery(and also the processor) gets to warm, SetCPU slows it automatically down.
And I didn't know that your device wasn't rooted, so my apologies!
But no status bar lag here? Everything runs smooth, hatsApp responds very slow sometimes, but that's it. No other lags, or complaints. I don't have any options left? Reflash your rom maybe, but if you have a lot of apps, and data, and backup it all, for just a simple flash... Maybe not the best idea.
Cheers, and good luck!
P.S. Do you use Tasker? I love that app! It's something I would really recommend to a rooted user.
OK...

Hmm..Maybe I'll use the "repair" option to reflash the ROM, which will also let me create a backup of my original firmware (blob_fs method)
And Tasker is cool, but I just don't need it

This topic is intended for those few Motorola XT720 users.
As you well know, Motorola, in their infinite wisdom, have created a gimped phone that seems to have mostly problems about it rather than advantages.
For a start, they have underclocked the CPU from its possible theoretical maximum of 1GHz to a paltry 550 MHz (and the update only unlocked an on-demand setting of up to 720 MHz). Secondly, the included launcher is actually inferior to both stock Vanilla Eclair and most other 3rd party launchers. It is sluggish and never quite feels smooth (especially so when browsing your apps or switching panels).
So what is the solution to the above problems and how to make your XT720 truly fly and feel comparable to most any other high-end smartphone? Simple, I say!
I won't tell you how to do these steps, but I can provide info and know-how-to if people ask me to:
0) Install Astro File Manager from the Market.
1) Root your device. Use Universal Androoter to do this. Try to go for latest possible version you can find. Your phone will not be able to find it on the Market so try Google.
2) Go to http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/ and download the basic program to overclock your XT720. The program allows you to do 'real' (actual) overclock of up to 1.2 GHz, but your CPU will be unstable in this speed. Instead, opt for 1GHz, which is not a 'real' overclock, since the Texas Instr. CPU inside your phone is actually able to run at this speed natively.
3) Download SetCPU or get it from XDA.
Have it 'automatically' configure / find your CPU speed and then set it up as such:
Make sure the upscale governor is set to at least 85. Mine is at 86.
a) Fully Charged / Plugged In: Min/Max at 1000MHz (Performance) [55]
b) Below 40% Min 550 / Max 1000 (On Demand) [60]
c) Below 20% Min 500 / Max 550 (On Demand) [65]
d) While Screen Turned Off Min 150 / Max 500 (On Demand) [70]
Make sure all settings are set to 'Enable' and 'auto-run' is checked.
4) Download Zeam Today Launcher from the Market. It is free. Install it and press Home. Try it once to be sure and safe, but afterwards make sure you set it to 'default' (so that it launches as the default launcher).
Restart your phone and voila. Enjoy XT720 as you never have before.....
I have an HTC Desire and a Samsung Galaxy S and I promise you that my XT720 feels (almost) as snappy as they, and that's a huge difference in improvement, given that I felt that the XT720 was one of the sluggiest phones I had ever have to experience! Now it can finally unlock its full potential.
EDIT: Realised I accidentally posted this in the wrong subsections. This was done unintentionally. Please can some mod move it to the 'General' section?
Thanks for your post, grcd! Just some questions...
Do all 0 to 4 have to be done, & in that order? Or can I choose any?
What is Astro File Manager for? Is it needed to do 1 to 4?
Edit: ok, so 2 & 3 need root. But are 0 & 4 necessary or only recommended?
Edit: ok, I can choose among different file managers for 0, & among different launchers for 4.
& I can't find a single appropriate page on universal androoter on google? Except your post.
Edit: oops, found universal androot! Sorry, noob
very usefull
thanx
My friend just got one of these and I've been trying to find some good resources but can't seem to turn anything up.
Are them any development forums for this model out there? And are there any custom roms out or is the stock rom, rooted, overclocked with cleaned up the bloatware the best you can get?

XT720 bootloader is locked and currently there's no known method to attack it. So, no custom ROMs. For Optimization, check the below link. You'll need to root your phone first (either One Click Root via PC or using Universal Androot apk).
this optimizer script got Busybox, Apps2SD, JIT from Froyo, custom build.prop, removing unnecessary apps and custom themes.
Code:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-milestone-xt720/74284-guide-milestone-xt720-apps2sd-froyo-jit.html
App2sd is a must, the internal memory for this phone is too small. I even put a class 10 micro sd in it.
Thanks for the optimization link, spiderx_mm! I'll do that too but it will take me a bit longer to be confident in doing that.
Meanwhile, the overclocking++ advice above seemed to help at the start, but little by little, my XT720 was lagging again, & lagging longer & longer. Does this happen to others?
I'm also encountering weird problems, like Dolphin Browser HD 4.2 tabs reloading from the web even for conditions when it's supposed to reload from the cache. So I'm also trying to reverse the process tio isolate the problem, but I have a few questions.
Once the setcpu modifications are done, can I unroot? It seems to me no, because I would think root is needed to change the clock on the fly? But if I simply overclock without using setcpu, then it seems to me that I can unroot without undoing the overclock changes?
While at this, is there an important sequence to follow to reverse the whole process? Do I have to set setcpu to the clock that I want to revert to before reverting the clock? I would experiment on my own except for the risk of bricking
Tia!
@grcd Will this improve camera response and hd video recording quality?
@spider thanks for the link. I'll give that a shot. I'm assuming since it hasn't been done yet, that no one is working to unlock the bootloader?
@reggie you will most definitely need to retain root to use setcpu. The app setcpu is what's actually changing the scaling itself, that's why there's the 'set at boot' option, bc the app has to set it everytime. Because the kernel just has overclock capabilities, but not overclocked by default, you will always need setcpu or a similar app to do the actual overclock. Why would you want to unroot anyways? If your having issues, I would recommend using system panel for a few days and see if somethings bogging your system down, it has great monitoring functions. I've yet to do the optimization, but I can't imagine anything there is what's causing you to have lag issues..

You can replace it with any other file explorer of your like and choice. The basic idea is to get root, and using Universal Androoter is the only way I know of for the XT7220 that is user friendly. Afterwards the rest is simple, using the overclocking app and SetCPU.

I noticed that too, so my initial excitement wore off. It seems that I was a bit wrong and some XT7220 devices will not happily run at 1GHz without some lag issues. Try lowering your speed to the next step down and see if that helps -- this might mean running at 800MHz, which is a mere 80MHz overclock, but whatever).
The optimizer script might help speed some things further up. But I haven't tried it yet. Also, Apps2SD will definately help as the phone has little internal memory, so the more apps that are there then the slowest things will get over time.
I am not sure of the ways to unroot to be entirely honest, but I guess you have to check FAQs for Universal Androoter to see if the process is reversable. As about the rest, it is quite simple: Just uninstall SetCPU (it might help to return the clock to its normal speed, but uninstalling it will do it anyway I suppose), and then use the Milestone Overclock to return the speeds to the stock speeds. Then uninstall that too.

AFAIK it will not. Or it might, but the differences are negligible. I am afraid that unless there is a custom ROM or a complete kernel hack, significant improvements in the camera department might be hard to come by.
It's very sad how badly Motorola dropped the ball with this phone. I admit I gave up on it and sold it to a friend for cheap.

The Universal Androot app has 1 click unroot.
Indeed it is better... ive used setCPU for since i first starting modding, and recently a friend turned me onto SystemTunerPRO & i gotta say its a million times better!
OC's ALWAYS stay, never gets killed by the system, UV's correctly, and has awesome organization!
Has the ability to controll what apps launch on boot, control memory usage, edit the MinFree settings, adjust the task-killer, just wow... yeah too much to say.
I suggest this WAY OVER setCPU... you should check it out...
https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNjYzcxLnBtdy5wcm8iXQ..
(if you dont want to pay the measly $5... Google for it)
-or if you use something better... tell us about it.
Imho, if you like the app and use it, you should just pay for it. The author has put time and effort into the product that has benefited you. The money he gets may inspire him to make more or better products.
Bought this immediately.
It trumps; Taskiller, SetCPU, Startup Auditor & Titanium Backup. I've uninstalled all off those.
It's an all-in-one interface with very simple and direct options. Not recommended for Android newbs. This can and will brick your **** if you don't know what you're doing. I love it. Excellent app.

1. task killers kill your battery, not your tasks
- by killing tasks, you are forcing android to kill then reload applications that would normally save more battery by being left in system memory (this removes the need to reload data)
2. what about system tuner pro makes it better than TiBU??

3. yes. VC is by far the easiest to use and if you use it correctly(usually by itself), you will have no problems
4. system tuner is a heavy user of system resource...the ONLY feature i've found that it has that others dont (at least i havent found a replacement yet) is its ability to display current CPU frequency...i used system tuner pro alot when i was undervolting my cpu and stress testing so i could see how hard the phone was working
The *Nix philosophy: Do one thing and do it well. I used System Tuner and found it's interface to be awful/ugly, and didn't really fulfill any need that a more focused app didn't. System Tuner really can't do all the things TiBu can, and voltage settings should never be "killed" by your phone since they're written to file.
I still prefer SetCPU. I like an app to be organized and the one you recommend is not. It's messy and sloppy.
There is NO backup app that comes close to being as perfect and bad ass as Titanium Backup.
Can't get STP to save on reboot completed
Hope this thread still attracts some attention, so I don't have to clutter up threads with a new on on same program
Using Bricked V5 kernel and Insert Coin Sense 4 Beta 12 ROM
Both STP and Antutus' CPU Master do not save selected settings (max / min speed, voltages etc) over reboots, although this is selected (on STP have "on boot completed" selected, and on CPU Master it's a tickbox as with SetCPU)
Only SetCPU saves my preferences over reboot.
Can anyone tell me how to overcome this. In particular I want STP to work over restarts, so I can tweak voltages as well as clock speeds
Edit: Oh dang I found this thread searching for STP, and overlooked it is a Samsung thread,. Doh!. Will repost in Sensation forum

TB dev started developping this app when Android started existing and receives a lot of support from Google. Yes it's far more advanced: the only feature that STP doesn't have (yet ) is the multi-version backups.

Interesting... Have you contacted the devs of those apps to see if they can help? When you tested these, did you kept all 3 apps installed and configured?
I believe everyone is entitled to have preference, but know one thing for all 3 devs it's the same complexity: every kernel, every phone behaves differently. Not to mention ROMs or even possible user errors.
And as you have a Sensation, STP was partly developped on this device, and this device requires a specific work-around to be able to read and write CPU settings!
If you do want STP to work and are willing to spend a little time investigating, contact the dev I know him and he will do everything to help (I know cause it's me).

2 philosophy: some users prefers all in one apps, some prefers app that focus on one thing.
My 2 cents: the more apps, the more consumption you get. The worth example is apps reading battery data... If you have one that reads it ok, if you have 5 apps: 5 times the consumption.
Noted a user saying a task killer is bad: if you know how to configure it it's much better than the Android integrated one which will kill widget apps at will and blindly or even apps you use frequently but will always leave Google's app running even you never use them!
And STP can configure its own task-killer and the OOM Android integrated one.
STP is less than one year old, and is only my second app in Java and on Android. Still a lot to add to it, and still some imperfections, but working on it.
Now I fully understand all opinions expressed here. They are very reasonable too.
Let's meet in a year from now and see if I can change your opinion on this.
In the mean time, enjoy your apps or my apps preferably
I have grown to like all in one apps, such as this (system tuner) there is another that I'd like to point out called ROM toolbox, I use it for everything, back up apps, root browser, ad manager, boot animation installer, voltage controller, mem controller, ect. It's nearly got a function for everything, and I think people should take a look at it, it's nice, and all my stuff would be lost without it

Looking for tweaks for system tuner pro.
I'm using system tuner pro on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and really enjoy it so far. I also use Titanium Backup and SetCPU which both do exactly what I need them to. I use stp mainly for the ability to monitor my cpu, memory, ect. I am looking for tweaks to set to get my tablet running even smoother. Right now I'm running stock HC 3.2 ROM with pershoot's kernel oc to 1.4ghz. What can I do in stp to optimize my settings further? Changes to governor, on demand? SD cache size and IO scheduler? That type of thing. I would appreciate any helpful tips especially since the developer has been on this thread and seems to be very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks was looking for a site to learn more about this app! I am a new user to the andriod platform and find this app a great resource. Thanks for the great app and keep up the great work. :good:
Cheers
p.s. I have the Pro version
Great App thankyou .
I'm new-ish to using this as my main control app,although I bought it over a year ago,but unless your almost Of dev standard it can get a bit confusing, it's looking and is easier to use now smart phone screens are alot bigger.
I do still use T.B for certain things it is already setup with old backups and cloud feature use,I realize this app can do most but I've always used T.B.
Anyway my question probably easy but I'm using a dual core cpu but can't find how to change cpu1, I can change cpu 0 and see the frequecies for both but only the sliders for cpu0!
I've just thought my phone is rooted but locked bootloader so maybe because I'm using stock kernel maybe it's only letting me change 1cpu?
Its not even showing sliders for 2nd cpu though . e
Any help appreciated.
I'll probably need more help but I want to get this sorted 1st .
Since I stopped using multi task killers ,auto memory killer pro,cpu control (set cpu ) n so on, now using System Tuner Pro, Juice Defender Plus and Tit Backup Pro that's all I'm able to find then address issues so much easier.
Also Dev is very helpful ,I left Comment on play review and was emailed within a day ,so thanks A1 customer service .Thank dev and any one who can help me.
thank you for your mind bendingly difficult work on this app!

DEEEZZO!! Damn Dogs, yall just got served! HAHAHA:laugh:
seriously though, I know this is an older thread, hopefully someone listening. I had some questions about what a few thing meant in system tuner pro...which I think is a super hero app. I have only recently discovered that my lg thrill is a power and complicated device, even though I,ve had for over a year. before it was just a really cool phone. In the past two months I have bricked I have bricked on of my phones or the other
11 times-i bought another one so i wouldn't have to worry about not having a phone-half a dozen of those times was exploring system tuner settings. while I am a pro at flashing and recovery, i know virtually nothing about my device, and would love to know what some of these settings do. how to optimize her for each of the different ways I use her. that said, what is the difference between default and recommended setting in sys con?

The default is what's been configured on the Kernel installed, either by manufacturer or dev on XDA. The recommended is actually some settings that have "proven" to work on most devices. Make sure to have a NANDROID backup or a way to recover in case it doesn't work for you. Once applied you can review the changes (they appear in blue) and reset them as you wish. It also resets completely on reboot to be safe, until you press the 'on boot' button to restore them on each reboot.
PS: If you like System Tuner, you might love Android Tuner, the merging of System Tuner and Battery Monitor Widget. If so there's a special offer/discount for existing users.
In the market? Or can I purchase direct from your site (preferred).
What is the function of the I/O scheduler and the difference between noop/deadline/cfq?
BTW, I don't just like STP I love it! I'm constantly fiddling with it. Seems like a very complicated project. I will get the other after I submit this post and check it out. Thanks bro!

Most of my apps can only be purchased on Play Market for now. Android Tuner is available on SlideME now, which offers various payment methods (PayPal, Amazon, etc).
I used to sell on AndroidPIT, but they are very bad for business so I stopped, and I would strongly recommend not to purchase with them, only means troubles. SlideME offers guarantees like on PlayStore, which AP doesn't.
That said, I might publish my other apps on SlideME if it turns out well.
As for IO scheduler, it's the way the kernel will organize (schedule) IO operations on SD cards, noop, deadline and cfq are the most frequently available and used. deadline is said to be the most effective in a multi-tasking environment, whereas noop might create lags in some circumstances. Opinion and experiences differ largely, so might be best to test them.
PS: I would be happy to sell direct, but that requires an infrastructure I don't have. Relying on PlayStore or other distributor makes it easy to publish and also distributes updates.
Thank you sir, the only reason I was wondering about an alternative place of purchase is because, well long story short, my buddy shared a launcher apk with me and the play store got into my phone and froze not only the app, but my whole phone. After reboot all was fine minus the app. I guess it seemed kind of like a search and siezure with out a warrant. I felt a bit slighted and thought I would run an experiment and see if I can produce a comparable experience with all my various types of tech mediums without a single shred of google interface of any kind....I have to admit, it is not easy, they have really intertwined themselves with eanything. No, I'm not paranoid, just trying something new.
BTW, GOOD FN JOB WITH AT!!! Quite an amazing job you have done, any others besides the two? You ought somehow do a game of sorts, like an android app building or developer challenge/puzzle type thing with the purpose of training greenhorns interested in learning and honing veteran skills as well. Sorry for the spam, again thanks, and nice work.
Ps, I did relapse a lil and purchase AT from google...sshhh, don't tell anyone!haha

Hey yall I have a newbie q and a for you
Im new to overclocking!
I had my phone unlocked, rooted, and they flashed a custom rom that overclocks the device form 600mhz stock to 796mhz.
HTC DEsire C:
Android 4.0.3
Sense 4.0
Slim Sense 1.0
My question is..by default the cpu speed is 796mhz now. When I whipe the phone with factory data reset, it still runs at max speed. Is this because the kernel is set to this by default? This is the max I want to run at, and basically apps like CPU Tuner are only underclocking the device? When I use CPU Tuner, Min is set to 122mhz and max is 796mhz. Also If I change the max cpu speed form an app, will it conflict with the kernel that runs at 796 by default? can I change the max cpu speed to any supported MHz I want through an app?
I would also love a few tips from the pros.
THankyou kindly.

Yes. Since the kernel is set to that speed by default, it'll stay so until you change it manually. CPU control apps may only do that since the kernel only allows that speed as the max (so there's nowhere but down ). There will be no conflict. You can only change it to frequencies the kernel allows.
Ty!
Perfect! thanks for the answer Theonew. Im going to play around with underclocking it
I would love to tune the cpu voltage but just don't have the cojones. Has it become safer in recent times? The guides I read on google are from a few years back. I understand there are risks like SoD sleep of death, maybe other risks too. Any tips?
Thanks again, You guys are great what a wealth of knowledge!
I love tuning.
If you do that, make sure you do it wisely. Undervolting can be dangerous if not done correctly and could damage your device. Go down in steps and use your device for a while after each step to see its stability. Do not make huge steps. Yes SoDs can occur if it is done too drastically. Read up more and try to learn as much as you can before attempting. Its only as safe as you make it .
You may also want to set profiles in SetCPU e.g. screen off - set the governor to conservative. No problem for the help .
Apps are a great way to go, especially SetCPU since you can make profiles to save battery! I would not mess with the voltage though, you can completely fry your phone permanently... I'd leave that to the pros. Chances are, the person that made the Kernal has all the voltages set properly, so you would only be messing up the work that has already been done for you... Just mess around with different profile settings on SetCPU to get the best battery life/power balance. Also, if you want to save even more battery and gain full control of your phone, check out Tasker! Tasker allows you to automate ANYTHING that you do on a regular basis, including toggling Wifi and bluetooth, and rebooting your phone daily.. or ANYTHING you can think of! Open the Music app when you plug in your headphones, turn on GPS when you open the Maps app.. the possibilities are endless! And it will save your battery! Hope this helps, good luck!
I've tested my Z3 on antutu benchmark, i got a benchmark of 43k points, but my phone is slow, how do i fix that? I already use greenify and clean master, and i've flashed PurePerformances from the Android>General section of this forum.
Get rid of all that extra guff you have flashed/installed and go back to stock.
Use it for a few days like that, then start experimenting with stamina mode only. I think you will be surprised.
Also, try greenify, but you must experiment and start gradually.
If you just flash a load of Task managers etc they just conflict with each other and cause lag.....
As Greg says, all this bloating will definitely slow your device down. Factory reset and test the performance, should fly, then as you install your apps one by one, if your phone slows after installing a certain app, think twice if you really need that app, if yes report to the developer. Battery life is fantastic so you also shouldn't need all that.
I'm gonna try that, i'll let ya know, thanks for helping!
Hi everyone,
Today I had a chance to go over some of the specs on our phone to still try to come up with one of the best settings to really take advantage of the S7's capability and performance.
Nonetheless I would like to begin with the real numbers I scored on AnTuTu: 147212. To confirm that indeed the settings I applied shrunk space and bloat I also attached the AVERAGE score for the SM-G935U Firmware.
The ROOT guides/procedures provided by @araldtm and @Quickvic30 are both great. Thank you developers for your outstanding work.
The only controversy about rooting is that no matter how well developed, configured or tweaked the root is, IT WILL NEVER....SORRY DEVS....BUT NEVER WILL BE AS PERFECT, STABLE, AND SOLID AS THE MERE STOCK FIRMWARE.
So throughout this quick, easy, humble, and simple image guide I will share with you with the settings that have given me a device I can truly rely on with proven and noticeable performance, optimization, and customization while keeping a solid STOCK FIRMWARE.
EZ PROCEDURE:
- (Optional Step): I would strongly recommend backing up your personal files, apps, and settings in order to do a clean installation of the firmware. the reason for this is because during the setup process, I personally suggest you NOT logging into your Samsung Account because this will end up installing ~6 bloatware apps. I just avoided this.
*Attached is the xml file that I HAVE SET for my device and I always top 2 GB free RAM. Use it at your own risk and enable any system/apps to fit your needs.
Recommended Settings: SUGGESTED TO DISABLE
AOD
Palm Swipe to Capture
Direct Share
Keyboard Vibration
NFC
Keep WiFi during sleep
YouTube
Facebook
Instagram
WhatsApp
TouchWiz (Nova Launcher strongly suggested)
Bloatware apps using Package Disabler. Attached is the debloatpackage.xml script.
Any suggestions feel free to share the deed just as I did. And remember, there is nothing better than finding an alternative way to manipulate our ladies while staying ORIGINAL..and humble
Current Battery Use. Any suggestions, feel free.
Which cpu governer are you using?

He is stock.
Alright im interested, root has me lagging too vad. You installed the G935U first ? And then you installed the xml file ? I am a little confused about that part.
Which root.bat file works for 935u? Does anyone know of progress on something better then an eng AP
Just for grins (I don't believe in benchmarks), I ran Antutu on my completely stock phone with no mods and scored a little over 145,000. An extra 2,000 points is hardly worth doing anything about. I can also get well over 24 hours of battery life with average use at work as long as I have good cell phone signal or airplane mode with wifi on and wifi calling enabled. My opinion is that you all are wasting time with package disablers, debloating, etc. Stock apps are no longer resource hogs, chances are that disabling stock apps is doing more harm than good, especially if other system resources are looking for them. This can result in excess CPU activity and battery drain. Your biggest battery and resource hogs are going to be apps that you physically installed. Especially facebook, and it's ilk. I just gave you my personal experience on one device, so take it for what it's worth. But here you have a whole guide about how to eek out infinitesimally small performance gains whereas I did absolutely nothing and scored virtually the same on a synthetic benchmark.
