Hi all,
Actually I looked around for a while but couldn't find any topic related to this story.
I have bought a Bluebo B9500 chinese phone and been using it for a while now. To be honest, it is not that bad except the fact that some ROM's show a fake hardware config. CPU, board name, resolution, storage capacity and sensors are all fake!! nothing really bad so far but the worst is coming... My real problem is with the RAM. even the RAM was fake! showing 2GB of usable ram when the real hardware is only 512MB.
As a consequence, when the used ram grows bigger than the real (available) physical ram, some apps start crashing, restarting and acting weird.
I downloaded few kernels for this phone and luckily one of them was telling the truth about the RAM but got some troubles with the digitizer.
So..
My idea was to decompress both boot.img files and put the healthy ramdisk and kernel.img parts together and drop the sick ones to get a working boot.img file. I proceeded with my idea and used some tools that i've found here in the forum but when i flashed the .IMG, the phone couldn't start again.
It doesn't even show the boot logo.
Any idea or any useful hint about how to get the correct RAM in my kernel?
Thanks a lot
hi, i have the same problem, how can i fix it ?
thanks.
Hi, have you been able to fix this problem. I'm arguing about RAM and camera resolution with the seller of my B9500. I've also got problems with the touchscreen / digitizer.
So I'm expecting that My brother's V10 is gonna get bootloop
So I've been thinking to root the v10 and use quad core manager or kernal tuner apps to disable the two big cores of the phone as they are the reason for the bootloop issue (I know that because after disabling the big cores on my LG G4 using G4's big cores disable tool the phone returned back to life)
So is this method gonna work using the quad core manager or kernal tuner apps?
and is it easy to unroot by flashing the stock kdz file?

The screen retention issue and even if it isn't present....Most LG V10 devices are gonna bootloop at some point because of the defective snapdragon 808 so I'm gonna take precautions or sell it
Hi
My GFs been using her Z5C for over a year now, however the first phone she got had some mainboard malfunction causing it to randomly crash and reboot. The second Z5C has been working somewhat good, however it becomes very sluggish and unresponsive after some use. I know this device only has 2GB of ram and half of that is eaten away by the system. I'm just wondering if you to experience really poor performance from time to time? Jumping from Nova launcher to phone, sms app or play store can take like 5-10 seconds with a white screen while loading/RAM swapping is a pain. I already factory restored it a couple of times, and was running the Marshmallow .11 release until now, switched to CM13 which is performing just a bit better, but comparing to an old Galaxy S2 running CM13 it feels almost the same which is weird considering the S2 only has 768MB RAM.
Just interesting to hear your experiences, maybe this phone also has a faulty mainboard like the one before I was thinking. Also it gets really hot, like always, with Android system being the main hog on battery usage and this on Sonys firmware and factory restored.
I get that the small form factory comes at a price, but seriously? ?
Try this i know is for nexus 6p ive even using it on nougat stock also suggest you to use it on stock just backup ur original thermal.conf after this u will see the true potential of the z

Try what?

I would not mess with the thermal configuration without knowing what exactly am I doing.
You are suggesting using a configuration file from nexus to apply onto the z5c. Surely, this is not a great idea, even if it had some positive results... I'd rather see a therm.config file made specifically for the z5c.
Ooh well just trying to help out ive been using this mods from him since lg g3... As much as i know thermal.conf are universal cross SoC since n6p has same SoC as the z5 compact is been using it on my z5 compact since almost 7 month and i havent have any issues.. even now on nougat is even better i did couple benchmark and the differences are huge in quadrant benchmark register around 10000 wgit the moded file around 23000

After you apply u will see why z5 compact still high priced u will unleash the dragon on it just remeber to back up the original file change the right permission and read the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/cttmod-mm-t3386953
You could also try this one, made for z5 family. I am using v1.61 without an issue.

I compared the thermal-engine.conf of the one from the Nexus series with our thermal-engine.conf and found out that they have very different hotplugging methods. There are also some thermal configs that are missing. If you check the one from the Nexus, you'll see that when it reaches a certain threshold, the phone will shut down. Similar to ours, but the Z5 plugs out cores faster than the Nexus one.
Anyways, I wouldn't try it. It might have no negative effect on your phone, but it's not really worth the risk. Though I have taken the time to ask various devs if this is possible. I'm curious as to whether it is indeed effective or not.

IMO, Nougat's stock thermal is actually better. I've read that Stock Nougat's thermal ignores the thermal-engine.conf to some extent. It seems that Sony has rewrote the thermal-engine.conf for android N.
Okey, so in other words it's pretty common that this phone feels sluggish not just on my GFs Z5C but also yours?
Then perhaps I should look for some other phone in same size group but with Qualcomm 600 series SoC instead and at least 3GB RAM which should give a better experience.

For me it's damn quick and much faster than my s4mini with 1,5 gb ram andCm13 before. However i'm using the mod i posted since short after buying because it got too hot sometimes.
In your case i would try the nougat firmware, from what i read it's faster than MM with better Battery Life and like iArvee mentioned less heat.
If you look for another phone, X compact would be the stats you mentioned. However some say Z5C is still better. I cannot compare, but there is an own Thread in the general section. Phones in this size group with good specs are pretty rare lately.

Honestly, no. The phone is not sluggish at all whatsoever. Though if you do wish to go for a new phone, then as @Gewiz mentioned, the X Compact is your best bet. That is, if you wish to stick with Sony. On paper, the Z5C is faster than the X Compact, but the 600 series does not heat up as fast as the 810. Keep in mind though, the X Compact is not Water resistant. I was going for the X Compact, but went for the Z5C instead because of the IP68.

I suspect it's due to the limited 2GB RAM, it's not enough for what your girlfriend is using her phone for.
Similar situation with my wife, we both have a Z5C bought around the same time, mine's very fast and responsive, yet my wife's takes forever to do anything. There's a big difference in how we use our phones, mine's relatively clean, stock, rooted and I use Greenify to help.
Her phone on the other hand has all these custom girly themes, Facebook app (notorious memory hog, I don't use it), a dozen or so photo editing apps that just refuse to hibernate (according to Greenify I later installed on her non-rooted phone in an effort to help improve things) and also eats up memory like there's no tomorrow... it's like a jungle of apps and stuff all over the place. She has horrific battery life as well.
I actually offered to switch phones with her a few weeks ago, since I feel like my phone was optimized and in great condition. However, once all of her apps and customization went into effect, it instantly became noticeably slower. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least she now has Greenify to auto hibernate those pesky apps that she absolutely refuses to delete.
Meanwhile, her original phone that I'm now using got a make over with my clean, lean and mean treatment and is running like a champ.
I'm still running Xpower 5. I tried moonwalkers rom and it seemed faster but it would also cause a boot loop after a few days. I find the phone CAN be very sluggish as well. I think it has to do with the memory as well. Sometimes I start an app (ie. Google voice or ES file manager) and it pops up instantly. Sometimes it pops up but the screen is blank and it literally sits for maybe 5 seconds before anything happens. The camera can be worse. Sometimes even opening the app drawer gives a lag. Android Auto is just always slow. I've found that if I use an app killer and clear out some memory the phone becomes more responsive. Yes, the OS should automatically do this, but it doesnt seem to do a very good job. If I'm starting an app thats not in memory, it should make no difference whether the memory is empty or the OS needs to kill something to make room. Maybe the process of clearing out space in memory has some lag.
I would switch phones in a heartbeat but I like the smaller form factor and nearly all other phones in the world are bigger.
Regarding facebook, I did this with my older phone because of how bad FB is, there is a "facebook lite" app you can get which is designed for lesser phones. It runs much better but it is more limited.
I'm waiting for a usable nougat rom to try. hopefully that will help
I got a second hand perfect condition lg g5 ls988 rather cheap... All seems perfect... New condition pretty much... Unlocked bootloader and installed lineage os and typhoon kernel, did antutu test and scored really well... But I'm having one huge issue..... HEAT....
This thing had climbed into the 80c range for cpu... While gaming on a rather non aggressive app called arcane legends.. And I don't know what is going on.... Even on light use seems to hit 55c+ can barely touch the phone at times...
Even on stock it seems to get very hot... Also I can not use stock kernel because I believe this device suffers screen burn in and I have to use custom kcal settings to prevent this... Which means kernel much support it...
Hopefully I can get some help.. I really like this phone but the heat is insane...

Have you sorted out the heat issue yet? It seems to me that the issue is with typhon kernel. I'm not sure if this is fixed in the last update to the kernel, which didn't get built for the rs988, or not. Although I never had much of an issue with heat on stock so it may be something else.
Hey heroes of XDA!
I have a question, since watching a video from youtube, making a DIY gaming phone, he used a Mi 9, since the Mi 9 and Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro has the same CPU and GPU, i wondered if i can overclock it too the same way he did, but since he rooted the phone to overclock it, i have doubts, if i root, overclock it to my heart´s desires, and unroot, does it keep the overclocked values? or does it reset?
here is the link for the youtube video where i saw the idea, and in minute 3:24 he shows how to overclock the CPU, GPU and the display (i know how to overclock)
im actually copying the idea he had, but instead of a Mi 9, im using a Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro since i already have the device in perfect condition, i know how to root it, but i had to unroot due to safetynet issues that was way out of my knowledge how to fix the problem, thats why im asking if i can unroot it after overclocking the CPU so i dont have to deal with the same issues i had before,
i dont want a custom kernel/firmware or whatever, i want the phone as stock as possible excluding the chip overclock, heat and battery life isnt an issue since im planning to cover the back with a thin layer of copper plate, with a custom phone case (cutting the middle of the case) and im buying the blackshark funcooler 2 pro to take care of the heat, and since i already have a 20k mAH battery pack, power isnt a problem for a whole day outside my house gaming with the phone...
i know this might be a foolish question for some of you, but i dont know, since i never tried rooting then overclocking, then unrooting..
thanks in advance and have a wonderful day/night!
WRONG FORUMS!! AND I DONT KNOW TO DELETE IT!, I ALREADY POSTED A NEW THREAD IN THE PROPER FORUMS OF K20 PRO, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!
