Database Develop

Art works great

On my brand new galaxy 4 (snapdragon), without root, I activated the development mode and then the art mode. It took about 30 minutes to recompile the 410 installed applications, and finally it came back to life. I had a single problem with S Health, that I had to disable and reinstall again. I tested all applications, and everything now seemsto work reliably. Indeed, the gui seems much smoother and more buttery than before. I will check battery lifetime and performances in the next few days...

Art mode doesn't require root or smth?

it doesnt recquired root... just go on to settings tap your build number for a few times to activate the developer options then click Change Runtime System choose ART... for the mean time it will be laggy then after a few minutes it will work smoothly...

Anyone on tmo get their WiFi calling to work after switching to ART? There was a marked difference when fast scrolling twitter feeds. Much smoother. No WiFi calling doesn't work for me though. Optimizing at every startup stinks too.

On same case, I've turned to ART but s healt crashed. After this i uninstalled the updates and disable app, reboot, and enabled it again but no luck. How did you make s health app working on ART?

Did you clean the cache too?

Twice answer, deleted this one.

Oh no..
now I turned into the ART. S Health crashed. I cleared the app's cache and data. Uninstalled updates and disable the app. Reboot, but it still crashes. What was your steps? Thank you.

For your information, the s health version I am using is the factory installed one, not the available update - version 3.5.0.0123. Also, I am running N910FXXU1AJN4 from October 8th. After one day of use, I can confirm I don't have a single noticeable issue under ART.
P.s. I am not a newcomer, I checked that art is actually running and smoothness is sincerely impressive...

Mee too - i've switched to ART, and disabled all animations - everything is almost instant.
if s-health crashes, then so be it. I don't want Samsung to track my pulse and oxygen level via internet.

I have to comment that my device doesn't optimize the apps in every reboot.

Update: to test the robustness of S health, I let the application to update to 3.5.1.0668 (current version)...and the app stopped working! However I noticed another annoying bug that appears only...once you reboot. In particular, every reboot I get a message from android trying to upgrade 117 application (I have about 400). if I reboot multiple times, the message is still there and the process of optimization too!!!! This is particularly annoying since every time it takes about 15 minutes and it eats about 15% of battery!!!

Mine is also updates 3 apps. Small amount of them but so annoying.

Yes, the optimizing reboots had me switch back. Not that I reboot much but it was annoying it kept doing it. Although it gives the processor a workout.....

Definitely smoother for me and battery life seems to have improved as well. Will have to observe few more days though

I can confirm that S health works only if I run version 3.5.0.00123. It's the one installed as default in my rom, so I can simply install it by uninstalling the most recent version and turn it on from the disabled apps. ART feels definitely faster and smoother than dalvik...

Also running art since yesterday and no issues at all. Haven't found an app that I use that doesn't work.

How abt RAM usage? Thanks.

GearVR and a rooted Galaxy S6?

Has anyone been able to install the GearVR and its software on a rooted Galaxy S6 and make it work?
Thanks.

Same.... Recieved The device today and its useless now... Bye bye 99 bucks

Working fine here on rooted 5.02

What carrier/firmware are you guys on?
Rooted ATT S6 Edge 5.0.2 here, want to know if I should drive 30 minutes to get one or not.
Thanks

Dutch

Always wanted to try it, but actually never did (

On S6 edge I have crisscross rom and unikernel. Gearvr working perfectly

What mine does do:
- Plug in Phone (s6)
- Gear VR says I need to take the phone and install the software
- Wizard starts
- Push first button on screen
- Downloads software (2 mb) in next screen
- Wizard crashes
My phone is not rooted but has a specific ROM from my provider.
Any tips?

I have problems that if I put in my S6 into Gear VR (recent edition) I first see colored lines everywhere and after that a blackscreen. XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.4 with flashed Gear VR support. After deleting dalvik cache it seems to work once, but after that I have to clear cache again.. I'll try it again when I'm home.
Edit: I found a way to workaround this problem (and blackscreen). Just plugin the phone, put on Gear VR and turn off the phone and on again while it is in Gear VR. Colors are a bit off thought, especially darker colors.

I have the same problems with colors. Dark colors look a bit green.
It worked perfectly at first, then I rooted the phone so I could add a ps4 controller, and now I get problems launching the oculus home as well as the color problems.

5.1.1?
Are any of you folks reporting rooted success using 5.1.1, specifically the OGA version?
I'm holding off ordering one until I find that works.

Any way to get the Apps actually without GearVR so I can "preload" some Games?

I had the same problem. I'm rooted with UniKernel v8. It worked the first times I used it, then I got home and got the green lines and then reboot. I found your post and tried your workaround and it works this way. I'm thinking of flashing a stock Kernel to check.

I managed to unroot using Smart Switch on my PC, it proposed an update and once completed I was unrooted and didn't lose my data
Good news is that Oculus Store now launches without problems, it looks like it switched the screen in high FPS mode, it's even smoother than before and darks are much better. The only drawback is that I can feel a little bit of flickering that is was not present previously. I'm very happy with it now!

Thanks for reporting your findings! Any chance to have the s6 rooted (in order to use the ps3 controller) while keeping VR still intact (i.e fully working)? Otherwise, the only other way to use a gamepad would be to sadly buy a compatible game controller. (spending even more to play VR games )

I think the tuning for VR may not be part of AOSP kernel, so the rooted kernel may be missing this part, but that's just a supposition. I order a Xiaomi gamepad so that I don't have to root to use a controller.
edit:
Check Arter07's Kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/arter97-kernel-galaxy-s6-t3171246/page380
It looks like it's working fine with GearVR.

Thanks for the information. It seems there are some reporting success and others not. Can you by any chance verify that Arter's kernel works ok? I understand if you don't prefer/have the time to test it.

Hey. I'm having the same problem. I'm on a galaxy s6 from t-mobile on android 5.1.1
If there is any other fix that won't mess up the colors please post it. I'll make sure to do the same.

Root by chainfire, Confirmed working with GearVR on stock ROM (just tested it on G920I 5.1.1 DOJ6). Trips Knox.
EDIT: picture quality IMO seems lower than stock, probably not activating low persistence + high fps

S6 Edge on 5.1.1 rooted and tripped knox, Gear VR and everything I tried to put on it worked without any problem.
Ripped movies, 360 pictures, my 2D videos - everything worked and I'm extremly happy with it, couldn't belive it's so awesome...

Package Disabler Pro (PDP)

For those of us that don't want to root....Post up your success (or failures) with using PDP!!
I personally haven't done anything with it yet but it was helpful with my S6 Active. Hoping for someone a bit more gutsy than myself to see what is ok to disable and what we shouldn't touch.

Used on my S6 Edge Plus, installed on my S7 Edge, hit 'disable bloatware' and so far no issues. Still way too early to tell if everything is functioning correctly. I'd rather disable all recommended bloat and then see what issues there are (if any) than go one by one.

Might have to give this a shot, I hate the amount of apps that Samsung, AT&T and to some extent Google have loaded by default on the phone.

I just hit the disable all bloatware button. It took out samsung pay and my weather clock. After enabling all of the appropriate apps, the work once again.
It might have been smarter for me to go through this thread first which is what I am doing now. It's for S6 but I'm going to guess that most of it will apply.

Anybody knows what the different colors mean?

Here you go:

I can't get the app to work. It won't activate the license. It tells me to disconnect proxy and VPN connections which I didn't know I was using. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Do I need to give anymore information? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S7.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that AT&T uses a proxy on their cellular data. When I connected to WiFi the license activation worked fine.

I used it yesterday didn't get any extra sot with it and it seemed to make my screen go bonkers, it was extra overly sensitive so I took it off and my screen went back to normal, still sensitive but not nearly as bad

There is another app in Google Play,
If you have time, try to use this app "App Package Disabler (Samsung)" on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It work well

why use PDP? just use Debloater tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

I've actually had good luck disabling some services with this and freeing up RAM. Not sure how this works without root but it's nice to have. Still feel we need root for other things but this app worked for me.

I've been using Package Disabler Pro since I got my S7 Edge...
Battery life was terrible in the beginning and then I kept fine tuning and fine tuning and fine tuning until I eventually reached some good battery life but it wasn't consistent.
Then I tried the GearVR and it installed some more apps and battery life started to suffer again.
I wasn't sure what the issue was exactly so I kept fine tuning and adjusting. I read online that Package Disabler Pro can actually impact battery life if you disable too many apps.
So I went back and only disabled a minimal number of apps... Still battery life was back and forth... Some days okay but other days battery drain would be awful.
So just for fun, I uninstalled Package Disabler Pro and manually went through and disabled each Application/Permissions through the Application Manager one by one (System & User Apps).
Now my battery life is phenomenal!
Seriously, I am getting about a day and a half off one charge (almost two days) and a SoT of between 6-8 hours consistently <- obviously this depends on how heavy your usage is.
I just charged my phone today with 5 1/2 SoT @ 25% battery left and 1 day 12 hours since last charge.
Very excellent results... So if others out there are having issues, try uninstalling Package Disabler Pro and doing it manually. Sure it takes time but the results have been amazing for me.

Interesting - Package Disabler free is available on the store but not seeing the pro version, even though it was there last week. I wonder what's up with that?

It was pulled from the playstore, ez package disabler is still there and most think it works better.

I've used Package Disabler on every Samsung to disable the every app of AT&T Bloat. Although some **** still shows up in battery usage.

Hi,
I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

RIght now, my apps edge appears that an update is available. But whenever I click the update, it won't update even if all apps are enabled. I am not sure if this was caused by the firmware update but this apps edge update just came up together with the firmware.

Thank you ! I debloated an S5 I was given using package disabler pro as my intention is to use it only for dash cam purposes , It has no SIM in it so I dunno if it will even get marshmallow update when it's available from AT&T, but if I do see an update available and am on wifi with it I'll re-enable everything. Thanks again !

Phone worthless when hooked to the watch...

I have a Note 4, with Maximumn Overdrive MM ROM. I have considered it a relatively good performer, given the age of the phonem, and the large number of apps installed.
This isn't 100% of the time, but a lot: I am finding that it not only lags horribly, but it actually freezes up. Today, I was trying to look up something on Maps, and I just couldn't use it.
I turned off BT, and it started working fine.
Do I just need to get a newer phone (well, I do want to do that)? But it seems to me it shouldn't hit it this hard.
Anyone running a Note 4 with the Zenwatch 3?
Thoughts?

Try Odin flashing stock firmware...
Most likely it will solve the issue you are having.
I have a S7 Edge phone and my watch works perfectly.
Right now I am Chrome Casting to TV, downloading a
new rom as well as reading new posts here and I have
both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled all the time.
I get no lag at all.
Good luck and have a great day.

I may give it a try. Reloading my phone is a large task, so many apps and data.
Would be interesting to hear if anyone wiht a Note 4 is working well with the watch.

Why not try a full os reset before going back to stock?

I tried stock. Not much help.
I have since reloaded the ROM, after doing 3 wipes, and is doing much better.

I think you answered your own question.
When I have odd things happening that I can't figure out I just do it the methodical way: Reset the phone and slowly add apps until I find the culprit.

OP3T with Samsung Gear

Hi All,
Anyone here using this combination OP3T with Samsung Gear S3?
I'm having random freeze/hang with the Samsung Gear apps in my OOS Beta 4. The problems start before the upgrade and become worst after Beta 4.
Found out from dumpState-SAP Logs - DEVICE_ERROR (error code=0xa0000007).
After uninstalled the apps everything become normal back and my battery improved a lot.
Anyone know the fix for this issue?
Now using the Gear S3 as stand alone.

Hey, unfortunately I can't help you with your problem but I don't have any issues like that. I'm on 4.1.3 and everything runs smoothly.
