Faster in other areas but still slower when loading odex compare to deodex.

The so-call faster mostly due to bionic/krait optimization. You can do that without customized ROM. I am on stock ROM, can get 25k 24k antutu score on 1.5ghz.

ps: sorry, 24k only.. err.. my point is, it's ok to use deodex ROM for customization, important to many people, but whenever u use it, bare in mind there is a tiny teeny bit of performance hit.

ps: there is advantage for those willing to learn more about the inner working of their phone

customization important to u! u use deodex rom! performance hit is negligible! not stopping you.

Have not! Been busy on another project. Will check it out later.

if you wanna keep your data, dont use the flash-all.sh / flash-all.bat.

instead, extract the image, flash it manually:

when everything else fail.. "user" error, change "user"!

sorry cannot contribute anything helpful to your problem. my n4 is able to connect to my Mac and Windows machine without fuss...

when all else fail, try this old-skool trick to transfer file:

1. start cmd.exe
2. To copy file from notebook to phone:

3. To copy file from phone to notebook:


Can use wildcard too..

Omai! Its here! I played both eng and Chinese version in iPad, the Chinese version is harder!

http://androidcommunity.com/plants-vs-zomb...china-20130912/

i play the first day it was launch in Aussie/NZ.

completed everything... still waiting for the Space mission... tried the Chinese version, it's much harder and possible to get Rare plant without real $...

ps: download link: http://gdown.baidu.com/data/wisegame/1ece4...i2gaoqing_1.apk

will try to remove some non-sense permission from the APK before installing

since the app is free (from baidu), guess no harm sharing... still downloading

list of permission seem suspicious, but will check back...

dont wait up though! you can do it yourself:

wee~ working! just removed all these non-sense permission.. uploading if anyone interested...

playing

basically, no more Internet, no billing, no read log, no send sms, no change config, no GPS!, no read contacts, etc...

still playable

PvZ2 (with most sensitive permission removed) upload is complete:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-XtOADKQnN...dit?usp=sharing<-- this link may have problem if you not using 4.3. Certificate was signed by JDK7, which uses SHA-256.

This link should work with most phone. Tested working on Samsung Galaxy 2 with ICS:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-XtOADKQnN...dit?usp=sharing

Note: Game is free from Baidu (http://as.baidu.com/a/item?docid=4249303)... I have no intent to distribute pirated copy of any stuff... it is here because someone requested it... list of permissions that was removed (from Internet onwards)



I also do not recommend downloading any APK from stranger, especially a "cow"... you can edit this by yourself:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2125489/+1340#entry47288597

enjoy!

ps: no support! game may stop working half-way, etc... u know the rule...

cannot change language bro... eng, need to wait till Popcap release it... just play only.. no need to read text lar

sure can on s3. game is low requirement.

i farm in inferno... normally, only get item for lv60... so, let me know when u get to level 60... or else, u see me online, i powerlevel u to 60 in 5 mins or less

how fast? i took a look the changelog... like their customization and tools, but speed enhancement.... hmm cannot see any.

Majority of IOS 7 changes are very obvious:
- New UI (flat!)
- New Lock screen
- New transperant layer
- Control center, notification, camera, etc

It's worthy as another IOS, i mean, not like 6.1 or something but 7! Most obvious underlying changes is from 32-bit to 64-bit. Apple is not very forth-coming about other underlying changes. In fact, some benchmark indicating drop in performance (take with grain of salt): http://www.phonearena.com/news/iOS-6-vs-iO...ce-drop_id47575

Android 4.2 to 4.3 is more like the other way round. Also note that it's just a point update, not to 5.0 Many underlying changes like merge and rearrange UI for faster UI processing (https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/325418001), OpenGL ES 3.0, better multicore support in rendering, better bluetooth stack, more optimized dalvik runtime, better security such as SELinux, restricted profile (yes, accessibility not only in tablet), etc are really not notice-able for normal users.

i did some performance comparison, 4.3 is more efficient and faster than 4.2... but... anyone care? i see many still using 4.2.2 here... so...

sad... used to be the other way round..?

if u just need the adb, chose "Other IDE", chose SDK Only, around 103mb. but i strongly recommend the ADT bundle, it comes with Eclipse which allow you to build top quality android App easily.

http://www.busybox.net/about.html

basically, some Android phone lack of common Unix tool, sometimes even the simplest "chmod" command. these commands are necessary sometimes during installation of scripts. busybox is a single executable binary that contains many of these command "in-a-box".

Finally managed to get my Frozen Pea Shooter in PvZ2

Best screen protector = no protector

LOL! I use AFWall+. It's open source, based on IPtables. Well, if you are *nix hardcore, you can do it by hand using a terminal or adb. "iptable -L". But if you prefer the GUI, here it is:

If you dont want to use any command line, dont want to download any stuff, you can still try to "Restrict background data". Go to setting, Data Usage, press the option (3 vertical dots on top).

congrats for getting a "faster" bin CPU. starting with android 4.3, the stock kernel already know how to make good used of the "faster" cpu by using a lower voltage compare to other bin such as "slow", "nominal" and "fast".

sorry, don't know any better data monitoring other than the one in phone... it's beautiful and accurate for me
