I was going to ask that too. I don't have car app in the app drawer. But I see it in settings>apps>all. Same thing with the dock mode app. I'd love to be able to use them.

On the Rezound, for example, they're not in the apps, but if you touch search capacitive button in the bottom right corner and type "car panel" or "dock mode" you'll see the app in the results, and just touch it to start. Same with "mirror" app. But on DNA that trick doesn't seem to work.

[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Ok, I just tried again. You can do a search by pressing and holding the home button. Enable searching phone in the settings. Then just type an app name. It works for car, mirror, voice recorder (these apps are not in the app drawer)

You can also create shortcuts for them, for example, in ES File Explorer.

I still can't open dock mode. Is anybody smarter than me? I sure would like to use it.

I'm currently using the Nova Launcher and all those apps show up, but if I go back to the default sense one they do not.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Can you open the dock mode?

Sent from HTC Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
I emailed HTC about that and they said "We do understand your concerns with the applications not showing on the app tray. HTC is currently looking into this to determine what is occurring but we have no estimated time for a resolution to be reached."

Or when we get root it's not hard to get those apps to show in app tray
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Can you try the dock mode from your launcher? Does it open?
[HTC Droid DNA] WilliamStern:
Yup, for some reason when using Apex, or Nova Launchers they are shown just like all other apps. Very odd if you ask me?
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
htc has always wanted those apps to be dock specific to try and get you to buy their OEM docks.
[HTC Droid DNA] mikevipsr:
I can also confirm that using a non oem launcher like nova and apex will get the cardock to show along with a mirror app and movie app among others. Now we need a wireless charging card dock... Lol js
[HTC Droid DNA] dekend:
You can launch the apps manually through Titanium Backup.

I can confirm both dock apps work.
[HTC Droid DNA] kain2thebrain:
Any chance someone could post a screen shot of the car dock app on the DNA?
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Here's the car dock.

Sent from HTC Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
So you can actually start the dock mode? I have no problem starting the car app through the ES File Explorer, but the dock mode won't start. That's strange. Any idea?

Use smart shortcuts for the apps you would like to open from those that are hidden ;) works great

Hi,

I am not able to get a restore option on zune although i have a back up of mango original rom?

I have done the backup using wp7easybackup tool. I am trying to do restore using that tool also but it doesn't work either.

Anyhelp how can I go back to original mango from deepshining rom?

thanks.

Hey I just flashed octane gb rom, but I have no idea to check if it worked, there is no boot animation or anything , thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Settings>About Phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tstrat:
Thanks, I went there but no where does it say that octane is the rom installed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It's been a long time since I've been on GB but it should be under build number or mod version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Trust me, if you flashed it properly, you are on octane.

Also, Mod Version will not even be there on stock, so if you have a mod version, you are on a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Johnmonkey0:
The latest octane doesn't have a boot animation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
LOL!

If you can't tell the difference between a stock rom and a custom rom....you should probably wait till you get to high school or atleast end of middle school. :D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boykioy:
Ok as i am waiting for my nexus 4 to arrive in the next few days, i am thinking myshelf that if for example you flas a rom or a bad kernel and the phone goes into bootloop or is stucked into the google logo, waht should we do? In other phoens , simply remove the battery, press some buttons and goes to recovery mode.

In nexus 4 where ther is not such an option to remove the battery what should we do?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Righteous Joe:
I am getting kinda worried, that future updates of Android will run slow on my phone cause its only 8GB, doesn't each update become a bigger file and take up more space? I use alot of cloud and streaming services so I dont need much on board storage so I didnt feel compelled to pay 50 bucks for 8gb of storage when I know it too expensive to pay for just that amount of storage. So my question is am I safe with this storage considering future OS updates.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
The OS is a few hundred megabytes. You've got nothing to worry about.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Righteous Joe:
Thanks for the reply, so why when i got my device was there only around 5.5 gb available to me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanetheninja:
The OS it's self is bigger than a few hundred megs, but updates do your device do not necessarily mean your OS is taking up more space. Just because your os is, say, 500 megs and you downloaded a 100 meg update your new total is almost certainly less that 600, depending on the update much of that code is replacing existing code.

Also, performance is not dependent on the amount of HDD space you have available, this is even more true on flash memory. If you max it out to a 100% you're going to have problems, but other than that it matters very little.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
Formatted capacity of an 8gb drive is probably closer to 7.5, less some space for the OS + recovery partition + included Google apps, and likely some additional space reserved for future OS updates (though this is just speculation).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrAYoN_EaTeR:
Isn't the space for the OS set aside from the usable storage?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
For this phone (8 GB model), there's only ~5.5 GB available to user for sdcard-like storage.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinceyin89:
Is there anyway to recover more available free space? it seems a bit ridiculous that the the OS would take up 2gb....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
No. On older devices you could change mtd and assign size for system, cache, and data(user storage) but, that is not available for the newer devices. You'll have to deal with what Google/lge gave you or switch to 16gb.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
Why isn't it available for newer devices?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
It was for the older mtd devices like n1, g1, my touch, hero,etc. I haven't seen recent attempts for emmc support for newer devices, could be that the partitions aren't modifiable anymore. Fire rat stated the cmtd patch on xda but I don't think he does anymore hacks here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric-1987:
I thought partitions are made by the software? If that's the case then it's modifiable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You'll have to do some research on custom mtd on Google, it's been awhile so I've forgotten most of the details. However a custom SPL or bootloader were used to allow custom partitions to be made via a text file.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross1998:
By the time a Android gets that big (in Gigabytes) you would have a different phone with about 128 if not 256 gb of storage
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Our system partition is in the mid to upper 800s mb.

It is the same for both the 8gb and 16gb models.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Shelnutt2:
We now have working exploit for out Canadian friends :).

We are publicly releasing Bells, Rogers and Telus. This is the same 0.5v that removes LG Security.

Further details can be read in thecubed's post here.

Due to the nature of the varients make sure you download the correct file!

Bell:

http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/bell/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Bell.zip

Rogers:

http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/rogers/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Rogers.zip

Telus:

http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/telus/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Telus.zip

Currently, the download is Windows-only. I will make a OSX/Linux/Windows version soon

Also Bell, Telus and Rogers are now supported by the 1 click freegee app! This is $1, and the pc method will always remain free. This is just for those lazy and want to donate :).

Worked perfectly! Thanks again to Team Codefire for high levels of awesomeness.

Now bring on the roms! lol ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] houstonn:
Thank you! :highfive:

EDIT: I'm wondering if someone made this flashable, we (bell, rogers) would be able to flash the BASE ROM from the att forum and then flash this since at this time we don't have a rom that's flashable yet..
[LG Optimus G (International)] dimsler:
thank you very much for your hard effort and work!

EDIT: works great on rogers.

[LG Optimus G (International)] jonnyg1097:
Does the Rogers version have a lot of bloatware on it? I remember my Samsung Captivate having about 3 or 4 Rogers apps put on it/
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
around 4-6 for rogers then theres the lg crapware
[LG Optimus G (International)] BumRush:
If it disables LG Security does that mean we can safely uninstall google apps like movies and books?
[LG Optimus G (International)] brunswick000:
Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
In theory yes, but nobody's going to promise you that it won't happen at this point :P

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Freegee includes CWM. Once it's done you can boot into the bootloader and get to cwm, or use adb and reboot into recovery that way (easier, because we can't see what we're selecting in the bootloader at the moment, vol down twice then power gets you there :P)
[LG Optimus G (International)] jonnyg1097:
Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MatAuc12:
Nothing lg related. I believe it is just a trivial side effect and they rather release a version as quick as.possible and put focus on.more important stuff than target irrelevant images
[LG Optimus G (International)] wzc810049078:
what about f180l
[LG Optimus G (International)] Joyok:

Awesome! Can't wait for the custom roms coming, especially if it fixes the battery issue!
[LG Optimus G (International)] brunswick000:
I rooted and unlocked without any issues. However, when I enter CMW and attempt to make a nandroid backup of the original Rom it says "Can't mount unlock path". I've never run into this before. Do I need to mount something in the Mounts & Storage?
[LG Optimus G (International)] RodneyBR:
BRICK

I just tried this on my E791 (Rogers) and now my phone is stuck at the LG Logo and won't start up. PLEASE HELP

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Used the LGMobile Support Tool to recover the phone :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] BG64:
Just letting you know, Team Codefire, that after using this tool, I also got stuck on the LG logo. After going into Download Mode, though, and using LG Mobile Support Tool's Upgrade Recovery, everything was restored exactly how I had it before- including root, text messages, app data, everything.

Can't wait for a bug fix! I can send you anything you'd like if it helps you find the problem sooner.

Using Rogers' Optimus G (E971), Android 4.1.2.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Guys, download Freegee from market after rooting. The OP's files are for ICS. For JB, you need the newer version which is later in the thread. But go on google play and download the latest. It'll work.

[LG Optimus G (International)] RodneyBR:
So BG64,

Are you gonna try FreeGee from the Google play store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free&hl=en
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
:) get to the link I provided, it's in this thread and it's an APK compatible with Jelly bean.

It will work.

heads up, install cmw if you're installing a 4.3 rom. It's more compatible.

Or go to Chadouming's thread and grab the twrp there, it works well too, I've flashed 4.3 and 4.4 with it.

Cheers.

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

another heads up. at&t roms will work on our phones. so you can also try those.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BG64:
[MENTION=4530911]mathsz[/MENTION]- I tried your link, but it wouldn't work. But thanks for the 4.4 tips with TWRP and the AT&T ROMS! I was okay with the stock ROM from LG until 4.4 came out. Now I can't wait any longer! XD [MENTION=2695967]RodneyBR[/MENTION]- That's my plan! I downloaded the app from the Play Store. :3

One quick question that I haven't been able to find through Googling, though- What is the 'Attempt Misc Fix' button for inside of the FreeGee Utilities section? If I have to use it, I'd like to know before I actually use FreeGee to unlock the bootloader and end up bricking my phone. I'd rather not go through some lengthy unbricking process. -.-

Even if I don't have to use it myself, what exactly does it do? I'm assuming something with the MISC folder inside the Android system files, but I'd like to know. :p

Man, unlocking the MAGURO bootloader was so much easier.. XD
[LG Optimus G (International)] KazeMurasaki:
I actually used the FreeGee app from the Play Store something like 3-4 days ago, and everything went well. I also decided that it's time to move forward after I saw that 4.4 is out. All I did was click "Unlock My Device" and then confirm that I realize the risks a few times. There's a whole thread with a step-by-step guide if that's gonna help you feel more comfortable (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450220). But I can tell you from now, that after FreeGee-ing the device doesn't reboot on it's own as the thread says so I'm not sure how up-to-date it is...

Btw, so far I've been running stock 4.1.2 from Telus, if that makes any difference. Best of luck ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Freegee's awesome.

Be sure to root your phone first. Else freegee will not work. Market version or apk.

Once you freegee, make sure to make a copy of the EFS folder that will be on your sdcard.

4.4 is okay for now. Omni rom works well, tried it already. But support for kitkat still has to come for all apps. I'm holding off for now. Few bugs here and there too... I prefer fully working roms. :) Still on aosp 4.3 for me.

And I don't like where google is headed. I mean, no google experience except on nexus 5??? What's up with that.

"attempt misc fix". Never used it :

My assumption :

At some point, your gps might go bad, or wifi stop working or any misc problem that you'll encounter while you were on a fully working rom.

I.E --> flash a rom (#1), everything works well

flash another(#2), gps stops workings

flash back (#1) to get gps back, gps doesn't work. EFS partitions are borked. you have attempt misc fix, might work. or not. [/Assumption]

Be sure to grab the kdz for your phone. If you're on telus, grab the telus KDZ. This will save your phone. If you can find the .TOT file, grab it too. They're 1gb size or so. They will restore your phone to 90% original stock. You can't get any better.

MAGURO was a walk in the park. Grouper too. any nexus device is easy. Toolkit!

Freegee is the closest you'll find to a toolkit for the lg optimus g.

cheers

hhrrmm... I don't quite remember, but I don't think mine rebooted on it's own either. It's been a while so ... unsure ...

Rooting : the root script I've used (universal one) reboots your device after writing the supersu bin file to your phone. But freegee.... Don't think it reboots.

Nevertheless, whether you have the latest version or not is not that relevant. If you can boot in fastboot and install a custom recovery, you're unlocked. And from there, you can flash whatever rom you want.

The OG's a great phone. For stability, look for any 4.3 ROMS, they're all pretty mature by now. CM official is great too! (att forum). You will get different results in terms of battery, depending on kernels and your leds might not lit up the way stock lg does either. But most roms include a way to define leds in the Lights and display settings so you should be good to go.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Make sure you do backup to internal sdcard, we don't have external.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Haze028:
Dont quote me, but Im pretty sure uninstalling google Apps will still Produce a Security error. I would old off personally.

Edit: you can till safely freeze them.
[LG Optimus G (International)] brunswick000:
WOW! I feel really stupid right now. Thanks.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
thought version 0.5 got rid of the LG security error all together
[LG Optimus G (International)] Haze028:
As I said, don't quote me, just didn't want anyone going through unnessesary crap. If it has be removed then all is good and ignore my post. Sorry for my ignorance :)

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Just had a huge scare! I'm running a bell og, when i got up today i turned it on, checked xda, made a post. 20 mins later i tried to turn it on and the capacitive buttons lit up but nothing on the screen...just black. I tried plugging it in to charge/computer, but the actuall screen was not turning on, only the cap. buttons.

I did adb reboot and it booted up as per normal with screen working fine. I assume this screen tearing is a result of something in the freegee, but as it wasn't permanent, only just a slight scare.

Just though people should know so they don't panic should it happen to them.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shelnutt2:
We appreciate you letting us know about any bugs. However it's unlikely this was caused my freegee. Your original kernel and ramdisk are intact, minus the single change made to disable security checks. I think it's more an LG bug, but if it does happen again let us know and pull the logcat and kmsg for us.
[LG Optimus G (International)] DarknessTM:
Sorry but...

This is to unlock the bootloader?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shelnutt2:
Yes, that's what this does.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
I just removed a bunch of Rogers and fido apps and did not receive the security error upon reboot
[LG Optimus G (International)] brunswick000:
I can't remove the Rogers apps. When I attempt to remove them with titanium it says "can't find .apk" Weird, because it will allow me to freeze them. We should begin a list in another thread in regards to which systems apps can be removed without consequence. Some of the service apps may pose problems when deleted if they are embedded into the Rom.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
Imma start a E971 thread probably Monday when I get home, for now ull have to delete the apks from /system/vendor/aps-rgs and /data/app-system then reboot and they should be gone

[LG Optimus G (International)] BomuDicq:
I know this is not the right section to ask, but are you guys going to make a version for international one(or does any version of your releases also unlocks the international one)?
