Hey can you please explain in layman's terms what DTB is and why I might need it (or not).
The context is I'm flashing Bit-iO kernel for the first time onto stock v5.1.1 and the instructions are:
1. Factory reset/wipe and flash.
2. Flash DTB if needed
3. Yada yada ...
Thanks!

Also, seperate question:
Undervolting does nothing or so close to nothing that it's pointless - is this correct still as I'm surprised to see some kernels implementing it still. Is the Shield Tablet or Tegra 4 a case where undervolting as any appreciable benefit?
Cheers, good idea for a thread IMO.

Custom Roms with controller support?
Are there any? Will there ever be? It's there a separate area for the k1 or is it just lumped together with the older versions?
If there aren't any custom Roms with controller support, does anyone have suggestions for helping dial down my RAM and CPU usage? Because even with nothing running in the background, they are still seeming pretty high... Especially the RAM.
Is marshmallow 6.0.1 just a resource hog?
Thanks for the info in advance!

[Completed] S5830i Touchwiz resurrection 9.5 ROM date issue

Hiya! I just have a small issue about Touchwiz Resurrection 9.5 on my Samsung Ace S5830i. I just installed it to my phone and I realized that there some issue with the dates. I chose the particular format I wanted, instead of it saying the day "Wednesday" it says "6". I thought it was just a glitch, so I rebooted my phone and even tried downloading UCCW ( widget app) it shows the same. it doesn't even shows "JULY 11" when I tried to change it too. HELP!!!
Settings > More > Advanced Settings > Status Bar Clock

Here are the dates shown on the status bar and UCCW widget
So there's Statusbar Clock, and on Statusbar tweaks, Clock and Lock screen options don't work. Oh and the battery seem incorrect, it would say 50% when the icon shows like it's almost empty. I'm obviously new and these are minor stuff please help!
Hi the ROM you are using is out of date, the developer of Touchwiz Resurrection has released a new version: [ROM] Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM [10/6/2014][V1.0]
Please try that ROM instead and if you still experience problems then either post a bug report to that thread (I.e. a description + logcat) or if you're unable to do so then it's a better idea to post your problems here as that way you won't annoy the dev: Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

THANK YOU! :good::fingers-crossed:

I don't have this device so can't recommend anything, besides its a rule in most forums that you shouldn't ask which ROM is best as it's completely subjective, your favourite might not be my favourite. With that said you should look here:Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development then make a decision by a) looking at the features lists and b) checking the bug lists for each ROM and making your decision from there. After flashing a few you'll find a keeper.
Good luck :good:

Please feel free to share issues, questions and offer help
It is always best to thank a ROM OP, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I download and install this ROM
5. Questions about ETA, etc

FlashImageGUI does not currently support HTC One Mini, developer confirmed via email that the Play store incorrectly lists it as supported.
I used Flashify to boot.img with no success so it seems the only method is to manually flash boot.img
Thanks for creation of this Q and A section

[Completed] flash videos only half show.

Hi all,
I know flash isn't supported by newer android devices anymore but I am running a Toshiba Thrive AT100 that has ICS and the latest adobe flash.
If I am on redditisfun app or firefox or the built in browser and get to a flash video only half of it will show.
I was wondering if anyone knows a fix for this issue My device is rooted. idk if that helps.
I had a JB custom rom before this... It was slower but did not have this issue.

Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue. I will leave this to you to decide, but you can post your question here in your device section,
> Legacy & Low Activity Devices > Toshiba Thrive > Thrive General
But that section is very quiet, you could have better luck asking here,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Also, try other browsers perhaps. I've always found Dolphin the best at handling Flash. Also, you could search Google on other flash versions perhaps to try.
Good luck!
Yes my device is old and there is actually another forum that is recommed for it but still dead... I still use it alot and its my first tablet. I think i had the same issue on my htc g2 and i fixed it by dow grading flash to and older version. Ill try that tomorrow and oistthe results. I have tried a few different browsers with no vale. Dolphen is really good. I was hoping for a modified flash apk or something lol.
Perhaps there's other options, so asking in the threads I suggested might be a good idea. ?

Awesome, Yes I'll try that now... Thanks for the help. Downgrading versions didn't help.
Thanks! Thread closed.

This is the tab "Settings > About tablet"
I want to install cyanogenmod 12 or higher, I can get on recovery mode on the above right it is saying "exdroid4.4.2_r2-a33v2.1", so what should I do?
Just FYI, Cyanogenmod is abandoned. Its successor is LineageOS.
Then how can I install LineageOS, I prefer Cyanogenmod though... But how can I install a custom rom on such a tablet?

My knowledge here is quite limited however I believe you need a ROM developed specifically for your exact model otherwise a lot of work and technical knowledge is required to create one. I haven't been able to find any information on custom ROMs for bitmore devices, given that it is not a major brand and seems to have very limited distribution you may be out of luck. Custom ROMs tend to be created my the more technically skilled people who do so voluntarily and I would assume require a device of their own for development and testing. All I can suggest is to ask in one of the more general forums if anybody is aware of and existing ROMs for that particular device.
