I had read about media server killer in this thread but haven't bothered with it so far. Next time the phone gets hot, I'll check whether the media server is in the list of apps that used a lot of battery. Thanks, Karsten Sent from my SM-G800F using XDA Free mobile app

I don't think that this will solve battery drain issues. I've never allowed Google to use WiFi for determining location (it just doesn't "feel right" to me in terms of privacy), but battery drain is one of my main issues with this ROM, along with its side effects (e.g. phone becoming terribly...

If I recall correctly, there is a button allowing you to switch between internal memory and external SD-Card. Have you seen and tried that option? Cheers, Karsten Sent from my SM-G800F using XDA Free mobile app

I always understood "low accuracy location" to be network (I.e. cell tower) based, and "high accuracy" to be using the GPS sensor. Thus, of you disable "high accuracy mode", I wouldn't be surprised of your phone cannot find any satellites... The new Google thingy, where they try to "increase...

I use total commander. It asks for root access when I try to write to the external SD card, that's all I need. Spent a lot of today going through a clean flash and reconfiguring most of my apps... :cool: [hennymcc:20170422] still can't find my sim, even with a clean flash and latest baseband...

Wiping system as well and then reinstalling gapps sounded like a reasonable approach. Tried that just now. [henneymcc:20170422] still can't find my sim card. Updated to latest baseband, still can't find sim. Back to [ayke:20170324], again wiping dalvik/ART cache, cache, and system, and...

Good morning Sven, That's very similar to the question I asked a few weeks ago. Several users, especially ayke, Mystixor and Mrdream94 (on April 15 in this thread), encouraged me that this is indeed possible. Effectively, you do a "dirty flash", with or without wiping dalvik/cache (I had...

I feel your pain. One thing that has been popping up in this thread is network mode" edge ". In areas where coverage is poor, the phone tries to connect to something that's better than edge and that burns a lot of energy. Also there seems to be a bug in our rom where this causes the phone to...

Thank you all once again! When I realized I could upgrade twrp from within twrp, I did just that (while walking the dog!) And when I was then able to boot into twrp-3.1.0-0, I was so excited that I forgot to wipe anything and went straight to flashing the March 24 build - so far, everything...

Thanks a lot, this us very encouraging. I have something to do tonight then :D One more thing: I currently have TWRP 3.0.0-0 on my device. Do I need to update to ayke's latest version and if so, can I do that from my current twrp or do I need to go through Odin? Cheers, Karsten Sent from my...

So, I've been on this ROM for about two months now, flashed it on Feb 12, whichever was henny's latest release at the time. I love it so much that I don't want to go back to stock ever again. :D However, I do see random reboots and occasional battery drain, and my fast charger I've bought for...

I wasn't aware of the native app2sd technique and stand corrected. However, bad_freddy's problem description sounded a LOT like there was an app2sd partition on his sd card (esp. Titanium Backup reading "SD card (a2sd) 216mb - 25.9mb free") as for the car thing, I was trying to explain the...

really nice theme, thanks. Only thing: I use direct phone and messaging links from the lock screen, and the default messaging icon looks really out of place... could you fix that?

First of all big KUDOS to owain for a splendid ROM. I've just come across it two days ago and I really like it. Feature-rich, beautiful, Android 2.2. Awesome. Let me contribute by commenting on two posts that had unanswered questions within the last 15 pages: The Xperia Smiley list (along...

good tip, I tried that yesterday. a) The bar really is gone but you have to install a different on-screen keyboard if you want one. b) Also, the entry of accented Characters via the Symkey doesn't work. Sym becomes a second blue square... :-( So I'm back to square one, with the bar hiding a...
