[Epic 4G General] iamterence:
Hey everyone. I really don't know how to say this, nor do I think anyone will even care because I'm practically a ghost to the forums, but I just wanted to make a thread and thank everyone here from the past and present for the good year and a half-or so that I've been here on the E4G forums. Last night while randomly browsing some Sprint forums for the Galaxy Nexus (I just love to peek at other phones to see what's going on with them), I came across a post saying you can text the word 'upgrade' to the number 1311 to find out if your eligible for an upgrade or not. While this may be common knowledge to the masses, I did not know this and texted the number. Low and behold, I was indeed eligible for an upgrade! With that being said, money was definitely an issue here because I am flat broke, so my upgrade options were limited. From Sprint's website I could choose from a free SGS3, an LG Optimus G, or a Sprint Vital. And maybe something else I'm forgetting. I planned on going with the S3 because it had the most developer support from anything else listed. However, I went to a Sprint store, and it was only free for a new line. That, and also the only free phones Sprint offered me from the store was a Sprint Vital, or a iPhone 4S.

So I went to Best Buy. They offered me a few more options, a couple being the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G (Which has NO support whatsoever), the Vital once again, and the Optimus G. So... I went with the Optimus G. I've been reading that is pretty much a branded/skinned Nexus 4.

Its definitely...... Nice. Fast as all **** most definitely, fluid, and sexy. The development for the LGOG is kinda weak at best, but it's getting there. There's CM10.1 builds for it, as well as some AOKP builds, so there's that. I definitely need to get a screen protector and case for it though.

Alright, this is way longer than I wanted it to be, so I'm gonna end it here. Thanks for all the roms and memories guys. I'll still be around because the LGOG Dev scene is kinda whack at the moment, and I plan on holding on to my Epic for quite a while. So...... Yeah, lol.

Stay gold, everyone.
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
If I recall correctly, xboxfanj got an LGOG as well, so hopefully he can get some nice stuff going for you guys :)
[Epic 4G General] iamterence:
Man... I wish I could've gotten a GNex or something >_<

Rooting this thing has been nothing but a complete pain in ass. While there is a sort of a one click root kinda thing, which did work, it was finnicky as hell. And after that, throwing on a custom rom is even worse. It really seems like a 50/50 chance the ROM will boot, not because of user error, but because the phone really just seems unstable and not rom-friendly like our good old Epics are. I dunno, maybe because this phone is still relatively new or something, but this is definitely the biggest headache I've come across with Android at all. :banghead:

The stock rom is retardedly fast and fluid, yes, but this thing needs an AOSP rom on it. :p
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
I think I remember reading somewhere that there's some sort of hardware mod to basically make it a nexus 4. Like use Nexus 4 radios, Roms, etc. Only I'm not sure if such a mod would exist.

Never mind, only gsm versions can do it, I totally forgot about that part.
[Epic 4G General] iamterence:
Yeah I seen that mod in the AT&T OG forums, and it looked pretty damn sweet. I finally got my OG running a CM10.1 build, so I practically have a Nexus 4 at this point :p

The only thing I've noticed about the AOSP roms is an extremely low signal reading, no matter where I am. Us always either at two bars or one, haven't seen 3 or above not once. But as long as it doesn't actually affect data speeds or calls I guess, lol.

Hello. I want to buy one of these phones. Whitch should i buy? I wont use LTE, because my carrier doesn't support it. I dont really care about camera and I will be using spotify for music so I dont care about internal storage. But the most interesting thing is that Optimus G is cheaper than Nexus 4 in my country. So whitch should I buy?
[General Questions and Answers] ridder215215:
They seem to be mostly the same: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5048&idPhone2=4941

I'd go for the Nexus (if it's not that much more expensive), as it will surely get the next few updates.
[General Questions and Answers] Rimas432:
whitch phone has better music quality?
[General Questions and Answers] WildfireDEV:
Well the the Optimus G and Nexus 4 are basically the same phone internally except for a few things such as LTE ad a external sdcard. If you looking at how long your phone would be supported according to updates I would go for the Nexus 4 but if money is tight then go for Optimus G as it is literally the same phone. Overall if money isn't a problem then go with the Nexus 4 it is a good investment as you will be able to enjoy many iterations of android on it.

"The Google Nexus 4 audio output is virtually identical to that of the LG Optimus G. Hardly shocking, given that most of the circuitry inside is identical, but still pretty good news."

-GSMArena review

You can find it here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_4-review-860p8.php

I linked to the page with music quality tests.

The Optimus G spec sheet states that it includes "Dolby mobile sound enhancement", whereas the Nexus 4 doesn't. It might be more of a marketing term, though.
[General Questions and Answers] Rimas432:
But I know how to install custom rom (I've done it hundreds of times with my atrix), so I can have latest android in optimus G too. I saw there is few stable roms for optimus G. So maybe thats the reason i should buy optimus G?
[General Questions and Answers] avenuePad:
If you're into flashing - ROMs, that is - and the OG is cheaper, why not go with the OG? It's virtually identical to the N4, but has 32GB internal storage - there is no external SD card option.

I personally prefer the design of the N4, as it's more rounded and comfortable to hold than the OG. Also, I like knowing that I'll be getting updates straight from Google.

They're both great phones. Can't go wrong with either one. :)

Sometimes when I text the screen flashes for like half a second.

Another one is when I go to the lock screen (power on the device) A red border flashes for half a second around the whole screen.

I don't know what the problem is.

It might be because I changed all the animation scales to .5x.

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockambole:
Hello guys,

I bought a car all-in-one unit (aka car dvd gps) from China, it has a better software than I thought and it's running with WinCE 6.0.

However, there are somethings that I'd like to change in the firware (or ROM?). For example, the music list of the USB player does not show the full file name, only around 10-11 characters and I'd like to increase it.

I managed to open a file explorer so I could take a look in the system files, but there is nothing relevant... only some logo images (from the boot screen) and some ini files.

I don't know if this is a software running in the WinCE startup or a firmware or a ROM.

Is there any way to export the firmware and modify it?

If this is a software, can anyone point me how can I put my hands on the files?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Your AIO technically consists of two parts: Windows CE w/ GPS and Multimedia. If you disassemble the AIO you can see there are two boards. The player you aren't lucky with is not part of Windows CE w/ GPS

We have some GPS tracking boxes with phones in then, if you call or text message the box it will text you back its current lat and long position.

and this you enter into autoroute on the PC to show where the vehicle is, But what i am after is a way to enter that coordenates into TomTom on my XDA2i, and have it show on the map, just like the Post code program for tomtom dose.

or if anyone knows of different mapping software that runs on a XDA and has the option of entering lat and long position, please let me know

Thanks for your help

Hi

You can do this with TomTom.

Switch to 'map' then hit 'tools' menu and then 'go to coordinates'

I also use some software called MemoryMap.

Argenist, man this wouldn't have happened without your help. You're a hero around here to lots of people.

Thanks for trusting us not to brick your brand new phone.

To Daereys, and Originator, and everyone else involved in getting the partitions dumped

Thank you very much!

I haven't had that much fun in IRC in forever. :)

VERY important don't do the procedure in the OP unless you have backed up your STOCK BOOTLOADER

Here are instructions for reversing all of this

Prerequsites:

S-off

1.44 HBoot

RUU for your device

Ok I thought reversing since I had S-off would be a simple affair and maybe I took a misstep along the way but I got it done.

Here's what worked FOR ME.

1) set CID to superCID

2) install the 1.44 Hboot in RUU mode (thanks SneakyGhost) http://d-h.st/qfc

3) install the RUU for your phone/carrier

4) if RUU is unavailable for your carrier, install the 1.44 hboot, one of the stock 1.29 roms, and change CID back to your device's CID

If you changed your MID you'll need to change that back as well.

5) change CID back to your device.

This will take you back to a factory fresh install with 1.44 bootloader

RevOne still works and I retained S-off.

If someone else has an easier way that works, please let me know.

Please NOTE:

Restoring the RUU took a long time and looked like it hung up a couple of times when I ran it. Just let it run.

The following thread from Sneakyghost has everything you ever wanted to know about Hboots and then some. Please read it.

[One (M7) Android Development] Sentinel196:
Perhaps the bootloader has a flag which is changed when it detects a recovery has been flashed via fastboot?
[One (M7) Android Development] Bluewall:
Guess I'm not completely awake yet. You have a point :p

Personal thought, I use GE ROM, but I don't see the point to mess with bootloader/recovery when we will have an updated GE ROM first on XDA :D
[One (M7) Android Development] Sentinel196:
What's happening here is....

1. OOH SOMETHING NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one

2. FLASH FLASH FLASH

3. HALP!

It's amusing how people always want whatever they don't have. Many SGS3 owners are asking me for Sense ROMS for their devices, and HTC owners all want AOSP. LOL. I bet there will be a bunch of HTC One GE owners asking if they can flash a Sense ROM before long too.

Logic seems to go out the window when it comes to trying new things, I know because I used to be exactly the same.

I'm not trying to be cynical at all, I've tried GE ROMs myself, but at the end of the day, I bet you the majority of GE owners and converters will end up flashing CM and AOKP ROMs as they start to miss the features that are missing in the stock GE ROMs.
[One (M7) Android Development] The Project:
Not true, HTC is releasing the update so OTA will get it first!
[One (M7) Android Development] Bluewall:
Not quietly sure why you quoted me mate :p

But I do agree with you.

The difference this time is, for the first time ever, you can have a vanilla (well, almost, will all the Sense framework on GE) on a non-nexus phone without any bug or little quirk that normally CM have.

Quoted you because you mentioned you didn't see the point of messing with the bootloader :)

Anyway I'll stop hi-jacking now. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. i'm keen to update my bootloader to this one just because I like the Google branding and don't like the stupid red text warning on the stock HBOOT.
[One (M7) Android Development] Bluewall:
If you just want to get ride of the red text you can use an hex-edited hboot that has the red text removed :)

(you may surely know it exists, but who knows)
[One (M7) Android Development] MasterXXXShake:
So. I converted my phone to the HTC_0038 and MID 2000 to get updated to 2.26.401.whatever OTA. It worked pro and I ended up with the 1.54 bootloader. I went so far as to convert back to S-On and Locked while in that state.

I was subsequently able to get downgraded using the CingularRUU(I'm on T-Mobile, I just used that RUU becasue I wanted older stuff than comes stock on the 1.27 T-MO stock phone).

Once I had the 1.44 bootloader back on my phone and the 1.26 mainver I was able to run revone and get S-Off

Perhaps following a similar path will help you get S-Off so you can re-flash your partitions and make your phone your phone again?

Good luck Graffix
[One (M7) Android Development] Sentinel196:
yeah. Don't wanna use a custom HBOOT though as I dont want to introduce any variables when testing my ROMs :)

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

I think his problem is that he has S-ON, along with an MID and CID that doesn't match any available RUU, so he's stuck.

Can't edit the android-info.txt file either because the package will fail signature verification with S-ON.

[One (M7) Android Development] bbedward:
The actual stock ROM and kernel have already been dumped?

We might need some firmware stuff to fully be GE (sbl1/radio/rpm/touch stuff)

But I don't see why you can't install the stock GE Rom and kernel, install the stock bootloader and recovery, change the CID and MID, and be fully converted and receive OTA updates (The FW updates may not go through without the full existing FW - not sure)?
[One (M7) Android Development] JustLiveIt:
I have flashed the stock ROM and kernel from existing threads, changed CID, MID is already the same, and flashed boot loader and recovery so I am about as far along as I can be at this time.

Hey Graffix...I've been dicking with my phone trying to figure a way to help you. (Don't really care if i toast this thing, its going back anyway)

I set cid to googles.

I changed my mid to the same as the ATT model

I installed the firmware from 2.24.401.1 to get the 1.54 hboot and then set my locked my bootloader and set my secureflag back to 3. (Re-set s-off) (crazy I know)

I tried to run a couple RUUs (did not expect it to work..and it did not)

I tried to run revone..failed with -6

EDIT - I used my unlock token to unlock here! I only did the motochopper root because i had the files avaliable already. If you are unlocked you can just fastboot flash recover recovery.img

Sooo..... I rooted with motochopper and installed a custom recovery

then i installed arhd 9.4 (last one that was based on 4.2.1

gues what....revone worked. took like 10 tries, but i was gettting the -1 and -2 errors rather than -6. just kept rebooting waiting 2 mins and trying again. if i got the memory errors i just kept trying without reboot. It finally made it through and i got S-Off

I then was able to set my CID

and install the Cingular RUU

sorry for the sloppy description, but i think you'll get all that

EDIT - I assume you are trying to get S-Off so you can put your partitions back.
