[LG Revolution] jjt2mey:
I'm on my 2nd Revo. Now know all the tricks (RAM is precious!). Have *all* the accessories (two car docks, home dock, regular and extended spare batteries and back, wireless charging pad, and back).

I'm having trouble finding another phone I want, once I accepted the limitations:

a. must limit widgets/running apps/total apps/certain apps, in order to keep free RAM at about 80-150MB.

b. ignore aesthetics (looks, bulk, screen). This is easy for me, and I actually like the Revo.

1. RAZR Maxx HD:

- both mostly at 4.3" screen (except RAZR Maxx HD is at 4.7" when viewing videos).

- battery life similar with extended battery (but Revo can swap batteries).

- Revo has wireless charging and dedicated car and home docks, and micro SD slot.

- RAZR Maxx HD has apt-X bluetooth codec, for great music fidelity with matching apt-X headphones.

- priced at ~ $500 used.

2. Galaxy S III:

- GS III has bigger screen at price of bigger phone.

- GS III feels less robust/more prone to screen cracks due to torquing.

- GS III has apt-X codec.

- priced at ~ $500 used.

3. LG Spectrum 2:

- see GS III above, but Spectrum 2 has no apt-X, and less accessories (no LG extended battery, even).

- comes with wireless charging back.

- priced at ~$350 used.

4. RAZR M:

- M has nice, smaller form factor, but with on-screen buttons, has only 4.0" screen most of the time.

- limited storage with no micro SD slot, limited internal storage.

- non-replaceable battery.

- has apt-X codec.

- priced at ~ $350 used.

I don't want to spend ~$350 to $500 for the privilege of giving up the capabilities of wireless charging, extended battery, home dock with separate battery charger, and car dock that starts up Revo's Car Home app when Revo is inserted.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Mainly I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Just adding a few new governors. But the main thing is to keep voltages at stock levels. I think that might be the cause of the vod. And I'm adding swap.
[LG Revolution] wslguy:
Sounds good. Voltage seems to be the issue that I have narrowed it down to as well. This thing can be extremely picky
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
I'm still here I've got around 5 months left :)
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Since the world didn't end today, I have a couple months left, three max (I forget). Just in time for the GS4 to drop. My priority is keeping the unlimited plan, even though I don't use that much data.
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
I'm still using Revolt 2.0 and love it. Is there anything better for the LG revolution?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I think bo is outstanding after flashing the stock kernel and throwing beats audio on it.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I flashed the stock kernel over BO earlier last week and I must agree, it is been very smooth.
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
BO? Body Odor? Lol
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Broken Out and I'm here for hopefully another 2 days (Christmas)
[LG Revolution] rpatrick:
Still here. Broken out. Keeping unlimited. Might buy something used
[LG Revolution] Qbfree98:
Same here. Broken Out and planning to buy used to keep unlimited data.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
Bueler? Bueler?
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
Still here too on BO. But as soon as I get the cash, probably dumping it for a S III or something equivalent. Unless we can figure out how to get ICS on here (and it works).
[LG Revolution] Mejud:
Wife still has hers....and considering what phone costs without 50% discount for re-upping contract (thereby losing unlimited) she's gonna have it a LONNNNNGGGGGGgggg TTTIMMMMMMEEEeee (TO that end, gonna spend the rest of the day trying to get her off V7 and up to current)
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
As much this forum seems like a ghost town, pretty much everyday exitrecovery.zip gets downloaded from my Box account I hosted a while ago. Definitely still demand.
[LG Revolution] Techluv:
Still here with my revo! Really want to upgrade when my new every 2 is up. But from what I've been reading, ill lose my unlimited plan?? I thought that as long as i got on a 4g phone, that if i switched to a new 4g phone that my plan would stay the same....hence the whole point of being grandfathered in! :confused:
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
Installed that launcher 7 on this VS910 and it works real good. feels like a new phone. It uses a app cache so the phone app launches fast than the day I bought it haha.
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
Still using it... i really have no problems with it otger than really crappy 4g speeds and the radio drops in and out between 3 and 4g constantly. Probably either fixing my Lucid or getting a Droid4 at the end of the month.
[LG Revolution] middlehead:
Mine's still limping along from June of 2011; never ROM'ed or reset, just rooted. My renewal comes up in February, but I'll likely be buying an off-contract phone soon to keep my unlimited data.

I'm looking at RAZR HDs and GS3s on Swappa and Ebay, just have to decide which model I want. I know the Spectrum2 should match them in specs, but I just don't think I'll trust LG with updates this time.
[LG Revolution] The Kraken!:
I'll vouch for the Droid 4. It's a big hunk of brick by today's standards (just a tick thicker than the Revo) but a good phone.
[LG Revolution] cu-n-az:
I still drop by occasionally to see what is happening. I have the Gnex. The Revo is my wife's. It's like pulling teeth to get her to let me do anything to it unless it has totally crapped out, so I have to get my crackflashing fix on the Gnex. The Revo is under contract until August so we'll have it at least that long...
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
I still have the phone. My upgrade is tomorrow, but I'm waiting for the gs4 to be released. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying my unlimited data.
[LG Revolution] :
I'm still here..locked in until August...
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Are you sure you are locked till August? I got the Revo in June 2011 and according to Verizon I was up for renewal 3 days ago.

I am holding out till after MWC at the end of February. I want to see what is coming. Mean while where I work is a MS test site so they are sending us a half dozen windows phones for testing. I will use one of those till I decide where I am headed.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I think I came on about July and am eligible mid-February. They give a few months ahead to upgrade. Check http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html?tab=personal to see your upgrade eligibility date.

Edit: Looking forward to GS4 news.
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
Yeah, one of those lazer protected keyboards would be cool. If they even exist, lol
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
You could dial #874 to find out your upgrade date.
[LG Revolution] wand3r0r:
Just got here

My Galaxy nexus was stolen so my friend gave me their old revolution because it was all we had. It seems to be the black screen after reboot problem but the factory reset doesn't work
[LG Revolution] btroop:
i've still got it...and since BO + the stock kernel i haven't had any VODs. Even though this phone is only on 2.3, I still think its a good phone; it does everything I need with only the occasional hiccup. Thanks devs for all the hard work you've put into it over the years. I would have thrown it into a river if I'd been forced to keep it stock.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Well, a leaked Staples document lists Verizon getting the GS4 on May 30, tentatively.

I. Can. Not. Wait!
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
im still here. but not for long. Contract is up next month and im jumping ship to Sprint for their Unlimited data plan.. the equivalent would cost me 50 bones more to stay with Verizon. Since Sprint's LTE network will be online soon I think its a good decision. Galaxy Note 2 is on my short list.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I flat out bought the Razr HD. No way in hell they're going to take me off my unlimited plan and put me on something that's $40 more per month.
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Still using the LG Revolution. I've had an upgrade since the end of January. I'm just waiting on the GS4 to release on Verizon
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Have fun waiting another month. Currently using a Note 2 here and it's great.
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
Seen a used LG revolution on Ebay for $65. In the description the seller says he'll send it rooted or unrooted.

Everyone in the forum has a rooted phone I assume, which would add value to the phone a person would think.
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Yeah, I hate Verizon. However, I like to get a phone that just came in the market since I'm going to have it for 2 years. I got the Revolution about 2 days after it was first released. That's the only reason why I didn't get the gs3. The note 2 is nice, but a bit much for me (in terms of screen size).
[LG Revolution] kx2250:
I just got this Motorola electrify m and I couldn't be happier. It's much lighter than the revolution(might feel cheap to some), but twice as fast. no changing the battery it's sealed inside the phone I guess, and the resolution is less but that hasn't been a problem
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Well guys, it's been a REALLY BUMPY RIDE with this phone. However my time with this phone is almost done (finally). I will be owning the GS4 starting tomorrow morning. I can expect plenty of ROMs for that phone (hopefully). I do want to thank the dev(s) that helped made this phone a bit more bearable to use.

Stupid Verizon...
[LG Revolution] cobravnm13:
Hey guys, I currently have a Droid 3 and I'll be getting a Rev from a friend within the next few days. It seems that the Rev is a small step backwards from the D3 minus the fact that the Rev has 4G. I plan on rooting it and maybe putting a custom ROM once I play with it a little. After perusing the forums for a bit, I've found that details regarding ROMs, rooting, unlocking, etc. are kind of sparse. Can anyone help point me to a good source for this info? I'm not new to modding, just new to the Rev. What's the most complete and useful ROM, kernel, etc.? Thanks for any info you can give.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Quick and dirty. . . Root and CWM using the all in one by MarkOnceAgain. Then flash BrokenOut 2.0 and the 2.1 patch by mtmichaelson. That gets you an overclockable kernel. IMXman has a patch to restore the stock kernel if you wish (some of us do). There are also TOT files to flash with LGPNST in a thread by Jackpot08 if you wish to get back to stock, out-of-box-fresh fresh again.
[LG Revolution] cobravnm13:
Thank you very much. I'll research all of this one I get the phone. Based on your experience with the phone, what would you rate it? Or how would you describe your experience? Is it reliable? What about the radios? Strong 4G? What would you say are the Pros and Cons? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I just want to know if it's an enjoyable device.
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Being that this was my first android phone, I love what the possibilities Android gave me. However the device itself was a bit annoying at time. My experience with it wasn't the best, I had my fair share of VODs (Vibration-of-Death) as well as other owners of the device. Its a shame that this phone didn't get a lot of attention, it really would've been helpful. However, I do have to thank the devs who put in the effort for the owners of this device.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Same here. My Revo has been very frustrating at times. That is why I just TOT'ed back to stock, rebooted, and BO'd plus patch and stock kernel. Much more civilized now.

TheCubed kicked off development on the Revo (as far as I know) and mtmichaelson carried the torch, being our sole salvation as each update rolled out from VZW.
[LG Revolution] rybussell:
There is talk on the Dev board about someone working on a ROM in the near future... They say it won't be an ICS rom but who knows..
[LG Revolution] cobravnm13:
How is the 4G connectivity?
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Being my only 4G phone, I haven't any comparison. I can't think of any thread here where many people were having connectivity problems other than forgetting to ensure 4G was on before flashing a ROM. That is easily fixed by following directions and flashing again.

Compared to my coworkers who all have S3s, better than the S3. Hard to really quantify without doing a side by side test.
[LG Revolution] cobravnm13:
Ok, cool. My house is literally right on the edge of VZW's 4G coverage, thankfully inside, so I'm hoping I can get connection ouy here. My 3G is spotty at best. So I guess we'll see. Thank you for being patient with me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaplop:
Hello,

I'm using CM 10.1 (nightly from 20121218) and have a message in the notification: You are connected to a foreign network, click to choose an operator. If I go to the network operators menu, I can choose my operator (Bouygues Telecom) or set to automatic, it does not change anything (and it connects on Bouygues Telecom).

All roaming options are unticked and the state menu displays "no roaming". Everything is working fine, my APN are correct, I can phone and use internet without off-plan but I have this notification message staying there.

My radio is M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.33, my operator is B&You a subnetwork of Bouygues Telecom in France.
[Hardware Hacking General] Noobie Boobie:
Hi guys, I am a tech blogger. I want to write an article about Free SIM Cards. I need ideas. Any interesting facts that you know or topical material related to free SIMs that you can share would be great.

I'm not sure if SIM cards are free in the US but over here in the UK they are totally free across all UK networks - even though they cost the networks £6 each to manufacture. Check it out - here is one example of a free SIM card offering on Vodafone – the same network who own 45% Verizon over in the states.

Anyway the point is that everyone blogs about how SIM cards are great for the environment because you can just change your network/contract not your phone thus creating less waste. I have read loads of posts about how SIM cards can save you money with SIM only contracts all the rest. But I want something different. What else interesting is there to say about SIM cards, I mean what is the most interesting thing you know about SIMs?

Hello!

I have problem with my GS2. Some day i just blocked it and went to sleep. Next morning i wanna use my phone and it is not even responding to power button. It behaves like crashed by the road roller and looks like untouched. I was at phone service and it has broken mother board. Dafuq?! It fell from max 1 meter some times from my desk but i worked after i picked it up. Phone looks like brand new with some scratches at the edges. I used ParanoidAndroid with syiah kernel for JB. Da hell happened with that phone?!

PS Ghosts or what O.o ?!:confused:

Today I updated the YouTube app and problem begins there. All the time force close, couldn't even open it. Automatically getting fc again and again.

Any one knows any solution?

N. B. - I pushed it into system apps by root explorer and changed permission.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Deadly:
Simple... reboot is necessary most of the times when you push an app to system...

Also you didn't specify what permissions you gave...

rw-r--r--

Set that permission and do a reboot.. it will work.. if not, then clear data of app in settings

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dillon_b12:
After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.

I followed these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181

I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.

My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?

I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.

On the Siyah thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?

Are these the proper files for Criskelo?

Criskelo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo

I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.

To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap (ktoonsez@ktoonsez-VirtualBoX).

Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

You can use any rom you want. It will come with its own kernel and overwrite the one you have

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dillon_b12:
eerssco action-ev

So this from the the first thread isn't true?

"You must use an ICS kernel, and it must work with Samsung firmware, and be the no-mic-swap version. If you install a Gingerbread kernel the phone will not boot."

Sorry, it's all a bit confusing to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Then don't go and mess with your phone if you don't understand what you're doing. The information is not that complicated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
Just do as Pirate says and you will be fine. Dont worry about the kernel because the rom you want will have the appropriate kernel packaged in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dillon_b12:
Thanks, that makes much more sense.

Ok, so for this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2005266

How do I do an EFS backup? I have searched this, but haven't found anything specific to this phone. Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

The next step is to do a FULL BACKUP. I did a backup in CWM Recovery. Does that work?

When I move the ROM to my phone, do I take the whole zip file? Is there any particular file(zImage?) I point to when flashing through CWM or is it the whole zip file?

Thanks again for all the help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] attsw:
Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dillon_b12:
Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.

What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?
