Guys, if you haven't tried out CrossBreeder yet - make a nandoid backup and try it. It took a few minutes to get up to speed, as it clears the Dalvik cache - but after that... holy crap. Its like a whole new bloody phone! I haven't checked AnTuTu score impact yet, but the real-life experience is amazing.

Get it here - read instructions: CrossBreeder

Give props to the developers!

I'm trying to install CWM on my G3N. I tried it with Mobile Uncle Tools but it just reboots and hows the Android on his back after it reboots. Any help?

NM, got it working...Attempting to flash a new ROM now.
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Its not an app really, has no interface. I don't know if the Frandom option works, depends wether or not it has a Frandom kernel module. If you don't know, ask your ROM's developer(s). The rest should work, but take a nandroid backup first to be on the safe side.
[General Questions and Answers] mengfei:
OK thanks, i'll do a research more on this before I flash.

I tried one before - pimpmy***- messed up my system
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Thats why you should do a nandroid backup first - that way you can simply restore the backup in a few minutes, and be right back where you were before testing.

If you try alot of mods and roms, I suggest always doing a nandroid backup - and encourage doing them regulary. The "main backup" takes up some space, but the concurring increments later, are relatively small.

I've been trying for hours to get the latest version (1.2) of the Lolfisch GThrill G3N ROM to work. It just stays at the Cyanogen mod boot screen. I can get version 1.0 to work fine though, but 1.2 has the battery improvements and the working FM radio...any help?
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Did you install the full ROM from needrom.com ? Have you tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache in CWM?
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
Thanks! That did the trick! This ROM is so much smoother than stock ICS. I don't see any downsides so far.

Is it possible to get Google Now integrated into it?

Also, in my infinite wisdom and eagerness to try new ROMs, I forgot to do a backup of the the original ICS. Where could that be gotten from in case I change my mind?
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Glad to hear it worked out - don't forget the 'thanks' button ;)

Not sure about Google Now. Have had a few minor kinks, seems like the rom uses modified gapps (play store) and framework services. Some things need stock signed gapps, and those won't install with modified fmework services. If you're getting an error saying it won't install, thats probably it. My experience is with original G3 though, not G3N.

You should be able to find a link to stock rom in one of the 2 larger Jiayu G3 threads, just search for: stock rom g3n

Hmm, I just installed Youtube, and when I open the open, it says "An error occured" and when I try to play a video it says "Unsupported video format"

That's not good. I need my Youtube!
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
There are a few alternative youtube apps to be found on this forum, do a search and you will find ;)

I had some trouble with youtube myself, cannot login to youtube account without stock signed google now and gapps. But youtube /video/ playback works fine here. Maybe one of the alternative apps can fix your issue.

something is wrong...

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

When I try to root it following Zeceri's tutorial and Binary v17 I get this message:

"Please look at your device and click RESTORE!

If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.

Running ..." and then keeps running forever...

On Binary v31 I first backup my phone as instructed on CMD, then I restore where it says some seconds later "restore ended". Then it reboots, according to CMD it should come up a second restore message but it doesnt on my device. What eventually happens then is that it reboots one second time and according to the CMD I should have root now. Which I dont have.

It wasnt like this when the phone was stock and had ICS.. PLS REPLY

EDIT: it also says Mount; Permission denied do you have root???
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
I'm just having way too many problems with this ROM. It's way too unstable which is unfortunate since it is smooth. Is the JB beta that Jiayu released available for the G3N? If so, is it stable for the most part?

Also, what other ROMs are based on the official JB beta?
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
I'll leave that for other G3N users to answer. With a few modifications, Gthrill V3 on my G3 (not N) is lightning fast and been stable as a rock for 3 months. Can't log in to my youtube account, but thats a small sacrifice for my current performance and stability.
[General Questions and Answers] Acidwire:
Pr0xzen noob question but how would I do a nandroid backup? Do u need to flash something over the rom? I've only done a clockwork mod thing when upgrading to a custom rom from needrom
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
A nandroid backup can be done from inside CWM. Boot into recovery, and you'll find a 'backup' section. It will make a backup of the entire system to your SD card. If you need to restore the backup, its done from the same section in CWM.
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
Since I last posted I have reinstalled it a few more times. It seems very solid now. I fixed my youtube issue. It will still display an error message at the bottom briefly whenver you click a new video, but they work now using this modified youtube apk:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529715

I also successfully added Google Now which is nice. Android 4.2 camera may be next, but that crashed a lot last time I tried it.

The remaining problems are that there is no preinstalled calander. When I try to install it from the play store, it says that resource is being shared by another ID. I'll try looking around for an apk of it I guess.

Also, I cannot get the GPS to work at all, even trying in MobileUncle Tools. So I went looking for the EPO and AGPS options...but I can't find them anywhere. Are those options not in CM10?
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Nice to hear it is working out for you, even though there are a few kinks. A few points:

Are you able to log in to you account with that youtube app? I couldn't manage to do so - but then again I wasn't able to install google now...

I'd advice to search a bit for the "resource is being shared by another ID" issue - chances are it might turn out to already be there but flawed, or that the same error will show if you try to sideload it or go for a manual apk install.

AGPS and EPO settings in Mobileunchle Tools are under Engineer mode > Engineer Mode (MTK) > Location (sideswipe) > Location Based Service. After enabling AGPS and getting my initial fix, I have had no GPS issues.

I'm not sure this is acually genuine CM10 (I know its a mod). But if it works, it works ;)
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
I installed Google Now by just downloading Google Search from the play store. I tried signing into youtube and a box appears for a split second but gives that error message like the rest of the app gives. No big deal for me.

Yeah, I'll do some searching on the calendar. I just see that causing problems though since it shows not installed in the play store.

Thanks for the AGPS and EPO tip. GPS got a fast fix on 11 satellites. About 7-10 meter accuracy.

And yeah, if it works, it works. Really smooth OS now that I got it running well. Was a pain to install. Had to install a v1 and then start it up and then a v3 otherwise it just bootloops. I think I did the process over about 15 times to get it stable now. lol

Also, tried the 4.2 camera again. Kind of odd, it has a difference view, it's slightly more zoomed than the stock app. And every time I select Photosphere (my primary reason for wanting it) it just closes.
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
I decided to try a different ROM today. GThrill was a good attempt, but the youtube error, no calendar, high battery usage, scrambled photos from camera, and other various nitpicks made it frustrating. But then I went to unlock it and the screen was all garbled. It went away after about 15 seconds, but it just seems too unreliable for me.

I found a ROM based on the JB beta. I'm already in love with it. It has the newest version of Play store (4.1.10 May 29, 2013), all the Google apps so far work great, including the Calendar (comes with an old version pre installed but I deleted it and put in the play store version so it could get updates), Google Now, and Youtube which I'm able to sign in to. It has a really nice launcher with a transparent background and 3D effect when scrolling through the menu. The launcher is supposedly from an Xperia phone, but it is awesome. Much better than stock.

For anyone interested: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/jiayu-g3-g3n/

Choose the latest June release and use the G3N patch if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Glad to hear you found something that worked out for you :)
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
Battery life is still not great on it. Over a period of exactly 10 hours without being touched, it dropped 10%. Sill better than the GThrill ROM, that used 15-20% in the same amount of time and conditions. CPU Spy shows 8 hours of that was in deep sleep but 2 hours was at full CPU speed. My old MT6575 phone with a 1500mah battery would only use 2-4% overnight.

Also, I created a new thread for this but it can't hurt to post it here as well:

I got a Jiayu G3 knowing it would be a gamble concerning whether or not it supported 3G on the AT&T network, which operates 3G on 850mhz and 1900mhz.

Naturally, I lost the gamble and was stuck with EDGE, or so I thought. I was driving around today, just 1-2 miles away from my home when I looked down at my phone and noticed the H over my cell signal. I ran a speed test and sure enough it confirmed HSPA due to the 4mb down and 1mb up speed. I even go to network provider search menu and it shows both AT&T 2G and 3G selections. Then as I went back home I noticed it was back to EDGE again. Now I have an old Samsung dumb phone that shows what band you are on in a developer menu, and I confirmed both 850mhz and 1900mhz bands have decent signals in my house, yet my Jiayu can't connect to either one in my house. So I don't know what it connected to.

Can anyone help, this has really confused me.....
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Did you try connecting manually (not letting the phone choose network by itself)? It could be a signal strength conflict, triggering the phone to connect to the 2g network.
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
I've tried setting it to WCDMA only instead of preferred but then I just get no service at all. Also tried a ton of different APNs as well, no effect. The EDGE signal is usually full signal too, but at the location where I got the HSPA (only about 2 miles away) it was nearly the same amount of bars.

It's almost like just that one tower is able to provide the HSPA 3G. I'd say maybe even my SIM or account is bugged, but if I put it back in my old dumbphone it shows 3G just fine.
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Settings - wireeless & networks : More... - Mobile Networks - network operators - select manually ?
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
Oh, if I go to that from my house right now it will only show AT&T 2G and T-Mobile 2G. But when I was getting the HSPA connection yesterday, I purposely checked that and it showed AT&T 2G AND AT&T 3G. I selected AT&T 3G hoping it would stay registered to that but once I started driving back toward my house it switched back to EDGE.

I should add that I drove to the next city over a couple days ago and it never switched from EDGE then. It's just that one area where it did. If I didn't already know for a fact that both 850 and 1900mhz bands are available within my house, I'd think that maybe the Jiayu only has one of them like most Chinese phones (I see a lot on eBay that will say 850/2100mhz only), but since I can't connect to either. It's hard to know for sure what the phone supports since even Jiayu's official specs differ from one press release to another.
[General Questions and Answers] Acidwire:
If it helps both my G3 and g3s always have hspa+ or hspa, it's dropped down to 3g one time a few miles from my house which had bad coverage from my network provider 3uk, can u check atts coverage near your house?

Has anyone tried Framaroot.apk? It's a simple way to root and usually works for the Chinese phones.

Try going to *#*#4636#*#* and under Phone Information select WCDMA Preffered, then let it reset, if it sticks it may help your problem, if i swaps back to GSM Auto - Do it again, but turn the radio off before you swap it, and turn it on after obviously.
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
AT&T has great coverage in my area.

Well I took a look again at the options and saw that it said GSM Auto PRL, and everytime I changed it to WCDMA preferred it kept going back, even if I did turn the radio off. Though I discovered this was because in RAT Mode menu in MobileUncle Tools, it was set to GSM/WCDMA Auto instead of GSM/WCDMA preferred. Once I changed that it changed itself in that previous phone menu. Restarting the phone or turning radio on and off makes no difference. In fact, it seems that menu in RAT Mode takes priority. It won't let me change anything in that 4636 menu.
[General Questions and Answers] JonR1230:
I found this interesting. Found it on a forum that google translated from Spanish:

Perhaps I am momentarily connecting to the 1900 band when the signal strength is very high?

Kind of hard to understand, but it sounds like exactly what I am experiencing. Only getting the H at the same place. Also, I believe this person has a Jiayu G2.
[General Questions and Answers] tomcat-:
I have installed the stock 4.1.2 (G3-20130116-221844) from 4.0.4.

Everything works ok, however it seems that on the sms app there is a small difference:

When i send an SMS i'm getting the read receipt as pop up message but i do not get the little icon of receipt next to the msg. So when you look at messages after you can tell which one has delivered and which not.

I realise that this is pretty dependant on mobile carrier however i was getting the icon with ICS.

Is anyone else getting something similar or it is only me?

Thanks for your help

Hi

if someone could help me. I would REALLY appreciate this.

Since april, when i Flashed my Jiayu G3N with a G3 ROM, my wifi & bluetooth are not working.

Thats because i flashed the wrong ROM (G3 ROM instead of G3N).

Now, there is a rom on Needrom that normally should do the job and normally should work.

But i cant ROOT my phone anymore, to get on CWM, to then FLASH a new ROM.

With the binary tools i get the errot: mount : root permission denied (are you root?).

Is there any fix do this? Or any other way that i can flash my Jiayu g3 with the correct rom?

Just need to get it rooted, to get in CWM.

Alternative ways of CWM / root ??

i've problem on Jiayu G3 now:crying:

i've rooted then installed cwm and custom rom

The phone just keeps working till SIM card change, it's alway show error

"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." and can't do anything.

Also i've checked my phone, i've found IMEI is not correct.

The only way to get it back is change SIM back and WIPE DATA.

I've tried redownloading multiple ROM and flash them

but when i flash with "apply update from sdcard" menu then install any rom

it's alway "installation aborted"

It's mean, i can't install any rom via cwm.

So,

i've tried with MTKdroidTools.exe via Recovery and Boot then i've got "task is complete"

but the new recovery is not installed.

So,

i've tried via Flash Tool but got "S_DA_SOC_CHECK_FAIL (3013) , SOC verification fail!."

Can't really help you as I've sold mine off and bought a much i5s.

No recovery mode

Hi!

(I am almost afraid to post here after viewing the infamous noob video several times, but the fact that I've now seen it several times plus I feel both my english and competence level is a bit above the most dodgy poster, I will give it a try. :p)

I'm trying to get an english version of android onto my G3.

I've tried several methods and most instructions out there, but I am not able to put the phone into recovery mode. (Power down + volume up does not work).

It just restarts and ignores my keypresses and continues to boot normally.

I DID manage to put it into recovery mode ONCE, but I did something wrong and since then, no luck.

Any tips?

P.S. I think I have CWM5.X.X.X (That's what Mobileuncle says)

fix for the signal loss - Jiayu g3

Hi folks,

about the signal loss problem, i fix mine!

It was the grounding or the antenna that was misonnected.

My phone worked fine for 1 year, then after a small fall, it start losing signal from time to time. i open it and put a smal piece of paper at the back of the antenna connector so the connection is tightier when the parts are screwed.

Also i reconnected all the connectors, making sure the are firmly connected. On my phone the ground wire that connect the 2 boards was disconnected. After all that checking, i tried it and it work fine now for 2 days!.

Also the battery older much longer. That make me think that is a good idea to fix phone that loose signal, because they use more battery to power the antenna and so the microwaves boil your brain quicker. ;)
