[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Hello everybody!

While looking at new Android devices, I found the LG Optimus 4x HD, it has a

reall good price/value rate here in my country, but I have some concerns and questions about the device. I'd be grateful if you could answer them.

1. The device has a locked bootloader by default. I've read it in the dev section that rooting stock rom and installing CWM can be done. Isn't this enough for installing custom roms? I've read it that the bootloader doesn't allow a custom kernel even if installed through CWM/TWRP. Really? How does this work?

2. Does the same apply to official JB?

3. Is relocking the bootloader possible? I understand that LG won't know about me unlocking the bootloader, but they would probably check it in case of a service inspection.

4. Some websites state that the device (and all Tegra 3 devices) heat very much on average/over average use. Is that so much? I don't experience this with Tegra 2 on my Galaxy R.

I know that these are really very much questions. I would appreciate if you could answer them.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
1. if you have cwm on ICS, then its enough for some of the old roms (custonexus comes to my mind that dexter ported way back. the way you install them isn't by usual flashing, but by using 2nd init). however, we have a method to unlock all versions of devices (well, except p880g), which allows proper flashing of both custom recoveries & kernels, so bootloader isn't an issue anymore.

2. with official JB, we got the opportunity to unlock the bootloader, either through LGs official way, or if that doesn't work, writing directly to fuse.

3. no relocking as far as i know

4. it's heating, yes, but not OVERheating. the device has built-in throttles and shutdown switches in case it overheats, and i've never hit a shutdown switch for example
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
What kind of sensors does the phone have?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
proximity, brightness, accelerometer, standard stuff afaik
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
[MENTION=3506654]Flying_Bear[/MENTION]: Do you have any answer to this question?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Unfortunately, no :( i don't think anyone tried it tbh
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Then I will have to try. :P Looked into dexter's CWM and insecure boot and it seems to be a good starting point.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
hope you manage to pull it off. i'm unsure if custom roms will work though, atleast newer ones. tbh, i don't know enough about android to figure it out. good luck!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ezet:
[MENTION=4719724]Adam77Root[/MENTION] i'm curious did you unlocked your bootloader in the end?

Also to continue with your question, does LG really check on bootloader status and refuses warranty if it's unlocked or they just let it go?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
As a new P880 owner, this is the only point i can really answer.The only way i can answer, is to say mine heats up pretty easily, just by doing some mild surfing for a half hour, right besides the rear flash. Playing games, it does become quite hot, but the fact that it gets so warm while just surfing, gets me a bit panicky. not to mention watching the battery drain like water down a plughole :P
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Yes, I did, though it was accidental. :D I tested 'adb reboot-bootloader', it rebooted, did a factory reset and unlocked the bootloader.

Well, they might just take a look at the hidden menu or fastboot variables to find it out, but I'm not sure. If I had to bring my device to service (hope I don't have to), I would relock the bootloader with the fuse-burning method. The hidden menu doesn't report relocked state, I've checked that in the decompiled code, it might be the same with fastboot.

Yes, I also noticed this, especially on stock rom. Now I'm on CM and iodak and it isn't really noticable anymore. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
Last night I got some Samsung push service update. Ever since I ran the update it seems like my s4 has been running quicker. Am I just imagining this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
Got it the other day. It was an update for Samsung apps from what I gathered from the playstore info.

here is the link for info:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuc3BwLnB1c2giXQ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
So is it possible it made my phone faster or am I imagining it you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrishoyt2012:
Not likely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
Do you ever have a slight half second delay when you hit the home button when you're in an app but other times it's like instant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GreatDayChap:
I also installed this but haven't really noticed any difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Imaging it. The update is to an individual apk and has nothing to do with I/O.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EvoRocker:
Make sure that in the Settings for S Voice you disable the home button activating S Voice. Makes Home button response better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
I actually completely disabled s voice. Good enough?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EvoRocker:
Should be. Actually just went ahead and did that myself. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
Placebo. I actually got the notification for that update, realized that I forgot to freeze it, so I froze it. It's just bloatware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeMi-GoD:
Wish I could figure out why my home button has a slight delay sometimes. Closing all recent apps makes it go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nes4r2:
Can u elaborate a bit more, I am aslo getting the notification but have no clue what it does. I actually thought us was samsung way of getting the New J Z album to u lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Do you have the S-Voice mapped to your home button? If you push it twice then it opens S-Voice you do. Just disable it from the S-Voice options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
He already said that he disabled S-Voice completely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrKleen1:
If you ever want your phone to feel quicker just go into recovery and clear your cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
I wish Google Voice Search could be used with the home button instead of S voice. Seems to be a much better application.

[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Hello together. With friendly permission of Abdullah1997 & ckpv5 from Desire X forum, i'll post here their Sense 5 Camera.apk working for HTC One SV! It has more effects and improvements.

The Camera.apk comes from this thread by Abdullah1997, the one i took was the one from this post by ckpv5.

So please guys, head over there and hit the "Thanks" at each of them!!!

Credits:

- Abdullah1997 for the camera.apk

- ckpv5 for modding it to take away fc's

Notice:

- I use it over a week now and it did not notice that something doesn't work.

- Your mirror app in appdrawer is gone with this mod (but you can go over the camera app to mirror yourself).

I tested this myself on a european non-lte phone and it works.

But as always bricks can happen and i am not responsible if your phone is dead afterwards.

Don't do this, if you are not experienced enough! Flash it on your own risk!

How to install:

Make a backup in recovery!!!

Download this zip file and flash it with recovery.

If you wanna go back, it attach the stock deodexed camera.apk for k2u & k2ul here too.

Download the one that fits to your device and flash with recovery.

For k2ul download this.

And for k2u download that.

Have fun!

:cool:
[HTC One SV] titin83:
I am testing it now. i will write some feedback if i notice something.

Thanks for your efforts.Great job
[HTC One SV] marceli-szpak:
I confirmed, all works fine at this moment.

[HTC One SV] Mikessv:
Is there anyway this will work for the boost mobile variant?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I think it will do. Maybe not flashable, but you can try it with a nand backup before.

Otherwise you unzip the camera.apk and copy it to system/app/ (you can rename the stock one to camera.apk.bak before). Then set permission of new camera.apk to rw- r-- r-- and reboot.
[HTC One SV] Mikessv:
I'll give a shot and report back.
[HTC One SV] wchrisyu:
Didn't work for me on a K2-CL s-off, rooted, etc
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
How did you try to update to this?

The flashable zip's ARE NOT FOR K2_cl!

Save your stock camera.apk and replace it with the apk from first post (unzip it from first post, doesn't matter which one) using a root explorer.
[HTC One SV] wchrisyu:
It works after I got some sleep.

I don't know if it's b/c I set perms properly, or what.

I pulled the apk from zip, and used root explorer to load camera last night at 5am.

This is after I'd HTC unlockeded, TWRP, rooted, danced through the busybox drama to Moonshine s-off, tried drivedroid (didn't work), and a bunch of other things I was used to on my old Nexus S.

Either way the stock cam quality issues are being dealt with, and it doesn't have the phone storage only issue the S4 cam has.
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
How will i know if my SV is K2U or K2UL?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
LTE or not?
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
LTE
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Then you have k2_ul.

As long as you are not on US carriers like boost mobile or cricket!
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
Oh okay. I realized that i cannot use these because i can't go to recovery mode becaus my bootloader is locked.
[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
I can't use xda app, becuz I make to many mistakes. Post to delete. XD
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
Can you make this as an APK?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
If you mean me, no i can't.
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
Why? Too bad i can't use it. My bootloader is locked
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
If you can tell me how...

In simple words: if you wanna use, unlock your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] mattemat:
hi all,

ive dabbled with quite a few emulators on the android platform, and most are a bit dissapointing, and the paid for ones are the worse of all, totally lacking in features and compatibility.

when i got my jxd s7300 i thought it would rekindle my interest in emulation, with its 7 inch screen and half decent d-pad, but ive now dug out my old psp cos the emulators on that are better than the very basic emulators on android.

whether its snes/amiga/psx/mame, the psp emulators are the complete package, but the android emulators pale in comparison.

for example, every single emulator on the psp has autofire/turbofire options in the input options, cos even back in the psp days emulator authors had the common sense to realise that the cheap tacky psp buttons were not designed to be repeatedly mashed playing some manic old school shootemup.

today, on touchscreen tablets and tablets and phones etc with very cheap and small weedy physical controls, the need to not constantly mash the buttons is even more important, and not to mention making the whole screen shake in ones hands as one stabs the buttons like a demented gibbon playing some old school manic shootemup, which were designed in the day for arcade quality joysticks and buttons which were much easier and more comfortable to repeatedly hammer.

on android, mame4droid reloaded, snes emus, final burn alpha, epsxe, and nearly all versions of various emulators for just about every old school system, AND NOT ONE OF EM has the common sense option of an autofire option in the input options, what the hell is going on ?, are todays emulator authors convinced that modern tablets and phones have arcade quality microswitched buttons on them ?

the only half decent emu with an autofire option is mame4droid, but thats old and runs only a few pre 80s stuff properly. mame4droid reloaded is much better, but the autofire option was removed !! (by mame devs i suppose), but what excuse has the author of final burn alpha, the authors of the various snes emus, amiga emus, psx emus, etc etc,

all pretty good emulators, but lacking in features and compatibility, and in the case of epsxe, not even able to sync the sound correctly.

all these emulators rendered virtually unplayable cos of lack of even the simplest autofire option, and believe you me, there are not many old school games that dont require constant stabbing of the fire buttons.

also, as an aside, ive posted for months on a few forums asking if anyone knew of an android app that could assign an autofire rate to a single button, to be effective whilst using various emulators, and to date, NOT A SINGLE REPLY to any of the posts, so it seems this avenue is not an option, so that makes it all the more important for emulator authors to implement this simple feature.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Soryuu:
Bear in mind though that getting emulation to work- especially on Android, considering its mostly for phones- is a feat in itself. On many emulators, graphics rendering in itself is still a problem. Developers would rather make sure that a game can actually run decently rather than focus on things like autofire which (considering the beta stages of most emulators) would only slow progress down.

Android wan't designed to be a gaming system. The fact that we even have DS and PSP emulators- yes, barely capable, but still- is quite a big thing.

You seriously can't expect miracles when it comes to emulation. The developers work hard as is, trying to make things work. Autofire isn't a "common sense" feature, its an extra. "Common sense" features would include graphical rendering engines and other options such as frameskipping and display options that could help smoothen game performance. Whereas PSPs are meant to render games and the like properly even through emulation, Android wasn't. Again, bearing in mind that this is an OS that was meant to run on a phone or tablet.

End of the day though, entirely at the dev's discretion, but the dev would rather have a playable game than features which make it easier.
[Android Apps and Games] mattemat:
you make some valid points, and i understand android is not the ideal platform for emulation, BUT, the fact that android does have some pretty good emulators, afba (android final burn alpha), mame4droid reloaded, being two of the best, shows what can be achieved,

but its a crying shame that running some classic old school shooters in these emulators is such an awkward and uncomfortable experience due to stabbing away on the cheap and nasty controls of modern tablets and phones, and not to mention the damage visited upon on said controls after a lengthy session of frantic button mashing, thousands of presses on a single button just to maintain a steady rate of ingame weapons fire or whatever.

im not asking for the moon on a stick, just simple autofire options, and those that dont need such a thing can easily choose not to use the autofire option if they choose not to, although why anyone would rather bang away on their expensive phone/tablet buttons thousands of times in a session of flying shark on mame, or whatever, rather than simply toggle autofire on, is beyond my comprehension, yes, the original arcade game did not have autofire (some purists say), but the original arcade game had a fantastic quality joystick and big red buttons !, perfect for mashing away on.

todays phones/tablets have nothing like the dream controls of the original arcade machines, and even if they did, im sure if you were to hold an arcade cabinet in the palm of your hands you would not wish to be stabbing away on the fire button due to shaking the damn thing whilst you did so !
[Android Apps and Games] zarpy:
Developers have lives and bills to pay. Honestly alot of the emulators are made as a hobby because there isnt any real money for the amount of work that goes into an emulator. Making an emulator is one of the most difficult things to program on earth , seriously. If there was more incentive we would get better emulators. Also remember the device that the developer is using the emulator might run better than on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] creamy:
hmmmmm

I may be a little off here so bear with me.

Have you tried using an actual gamepad on the device? i'm sure you have seen gamepads with autofire buttons already on them.

I use Retroarch (in my opinion absolutely fantastic bit of software) and i know that a great many differing types of game pad can be used with it, the dev/s update them all the time. All you need is the app to connect the game pad and you are all good.

Take a look at the thread, i cant be sure but i think someone mentioned autofire in there somewhere:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116468

It also gives a good guide to what you need to do to connect a gamepad.

Hope this helps,

Creamy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
I find GBA.emu, MD.emu, Snes9x Ex+, N64oid/Mupen, nds4droid, FPSE and PPSSPP to be quite good actually

Granted I use a Sony Dual Shock 3 to control them

The object of emulation is to replicate the original experience

If the original hardware didn't have autofire why would an emulator have it

That wouldnt be true to the original game/hardware
[Android Apps and Games] mattemat:
i dont think connecting a pad of some sort to a 7 inch tablet is feasable ?, does such a thing even exist, and if it did i doubt a physical autofire switch would be on it.

ive never seen a decent clip on pad for 7 inch (or 10 inch tablets), i think one is maybe due on some kickstarter project, but thats pie in the sky right now.

also, could someone help me contact the author of afba (android final burn alpha), ive tried to pm him but my message will not go through.

afba is the best emu ive seen on android so far, but how i would love a simple autofire option in the input menu.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] creamy:
Of course its feasable, i wouldnt have suggested it otherwise. At least try the suggestion and read the thread..........why so negative?

I run Retroarch (containing most of the popular emu's) on my Samsung galaxy Beam (the one with the 50" Projector onboard) and i use the six axis controller app to connect a ps3 pad to the phone. POW!! instant gaming on a huge screen.

Furthermore, I was in the local Tesco yesterday and saw a ps3 type wireless pad, it has autofire switches all over it and was little more than £15........Bargain.

So i think i have covered all of your needs there, you just have to see if it works for you.

As i mentioned before, you may get a little further if you read the thread i linked.

Best of luck,

Creamy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Armi1P:
Yeah, full-featured emulator would be good (like SNES)
[Android Apps and Games] mattemat:
ive had a look at that thread, but what i would be after is a way to physically attach ps3 pad to the tablet.

ive had a look at the 'gameclip', but it only supports certain phones, and one of the few 7 inch tablets it supports is the nexus 7, but that device is getting slagged off big time in current reviews (hardware problems after a years use)

and anyway, for comfort a tablet needs dpad on left and face buttons on right (like the jxd gamepad), and sticking a ps3 pad under a tablet is not ergonomically comfortable for long periods (the tablet overhangs the pad and its weight is not evenly distributed for comfort in the hands)

anyway, i should not need hotch potch solutions like that, the jxd has decent controls built in, but i can not enjoy them cos every single amiga/arcade/psx/cps/neo geo emu on android insists on making the player furiously stab away like a loon cos of lack of auto/turbo fire options.

I just use my psp 1000 for emulators since I hate playing oldschool games with a touch screen it just takes the fun out of oldschool games but with the psp you have actual buttons which makes it more fun to play Sega Gen games like street fighter or Atari 2600 games but I know some people Actually like touch screen for emulators I was just pointing that out

[Android Apps and Games] creamy:
Looks like you are at the mercy of the developers then pal, i doubt you are the only one who would like this feature so you could just ask the teams that make the Emu's.

I would reitterate however, as previously mentioned.....its is exactly that....a feature, and one that appears to hold low priority (otherwise it would already be there) It is also worth noting that autofire was always considered 'cheating' when these consoles were initially around, so this may be another reason that the feature isnt there.....i do however get your point about the devices getting bashed during emulation.

I also dont understand why you have to physically hold the tab instead of using it as a screen, but hey your preference is your own.

One final tip, your are coming across as frustrated and a touch miffed. I can understand that you are looking for help and that you have posted in a fair few places without response, however if someone who can help reads one of your posts (and it does read as if you consider them incompetent for not including this feature) They may be a little less willing to help you or funish you with the feature you require.

Again Best of Luck,

Creamy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mattemat:
point taken !

but i really do not like stabbing away on the fire button on handheld devices, its noisy, bad for the hardware, uncomfortable, not ergonomic, and ultimately pointless, and the small screens shake whilst doing so.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pf:
You have to look at the O2 or t-mobil-site of GreatBritain for example, where the standard updates will be for free, I guess. That's the way in Germany. t-mobil and O2 both have the update for 1.72-version for everybody for free on their websites.

Or you do the best way and take the translated version of the chinese actual 2.20, which you can find on this website. I use the version 2.20.t1 WWE. It is english and you have the WM 2003 Second Edition with all the good features.
