I know he stopped updating his rom a few weeks ago. Is there anything similar out? Tried a few recent roms and they just don't have the smoothness and stability of cleanrom so I went back to my back up after about 4 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Bonestock?

Personally I am having a wonderful affair, errr- I mean time, with Hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jedimyndtryx:
Just switched from AT&T. I was on CleanROM and GoldenEye which were perfect in terms of speed, stability, and battery life. HyperDrive has been fun. Battery life is quite good. I flashed without a lot of the extras in the AROMA though. Kept it as stock as possible. Going to give BoneStock a try soon. I've used KT, Greenify, & Comadose/CrossBreeder on all of the ROMs I've run on both devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Which have you tried?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
I love beans. Perfect blend of speed stability and battery life. In fact, try them all! I also tried Bonestock and Hyperdrive both are great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I just made a me7 stock root deodexed rom for safestrap. I tried to make it as much like cleanrom as possible. I removed bloat (but made a zip of all removed apks) activated all toggles and enabled tethering by default. Plus a bunch of other random tweaks. Maybe ill post it up later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ragnar:
Asking for Rom recommendation is not something we support here on XDA. Users should go through the development thread read and try out what they find that might be what they want. Here all you will get is a free for all of users listing what works for them.

Second point is that questions belong in the Q&A section not in the General section.

Thread closed.

Have a great day!

This is to my friends in Mexico:

The T-Mobile LG G2 can be unlocked and used in Telcel without any problems! :good:

Telcel will have the LG G2 somewhere in November 2013, but it will cost around $11,000 pesos, but on T-Mobile you can get it for a bit less than $8,000 pesos ($640 without contract).

Here's some photos of mine unlocked and working on Telcel. I still don't get my LTE chip, but it works on LTE too!

Cheers!
[G2 General] citytrader:
Hello, how is the signal of your LG G2 compared with other brands!?, what model of LG-G2 is the T-MObile?
[G2 General] Rayan:
The signal seems to be great as always, however lately on my Samsung Galaxy Note I get lots of dropped calls from time to time... Not on the LG G2 so far.

The model number is: LG-D801

Cheers!
[G2 General] pnight:
I get a att g2 and now is working with movistar i have a prepaid movistar internet ilimitado. And works great. What about the lte bands? I know att and telcel/ use the same bands , and a att cell can get lte in Mexico with telcel, but o dont know what about with t mobile at least 3g bands are no compatible in Mexico

Enviado desde mi LG-D800 mediante Tapatalk
[G2 General] Rayan:
Here's proof of my T-Mobile unlocked to Telcel G2 working at full LTE speeds in Tijuana.

It should also work on Movistar's LTE network (2.600 Mhz).

Remember that you need a special micro sim in order to accomplish LTE speeds and to live in a city that has the service available.

Saludos!
[G2 General] penone1130:
I travel a bit to Mexico on business and am wondering if I can change the sim card from T-Mobile (USA) to Telcel (a pre-paid sim card).

Is this possible?
[G2 General] Rayan:
Of course you can, but before you do that you must ask T-Mobile to SIM unlock your G2 with the intent of traveling to Mexico. They do it for you for free. Granted you have at least a month with them.

Then just get a pre-paid Telcel LTE micro sim and you are ready to go. It costs $110 pesos around $8 bucks.

Cheers!
[G2 General] TerMAESTRO:
How much do you pay for your plan?
[G2 General] Rayan:
I pay around $400 pesos which translate to more or less $30 dollars.

Cheers!
[G2 General] zarape2:
Hola amigos, im going to get a LG G2 soon To movistar so I can assume that both T-Mobile or Att will work on mexico right? Thanks in advance
[G2 General] Rayan:
Yes it will work just fine!

I bet you will love the G2!!!

Cheers!
[G2 General] zarape2:
thnks Rayan for the quick response, but wich would be better Tmobile or ATT? or they have the same model? what model is it?

Sorry but i need to be sure! thnks:D
[G2 General] Rayan:
You're welcome!

Both are basically the same hardware and specs. However I recommend you to base your purchase on the Custom ROM availability of each. T-Mobile LG G2 custom ROM scene is not that great, not that AT&T custom ROM scene is great, but I think it's not as bad actually.

I forgot to mention that even though both are the same hardware, ROMs are not interchangeable.

Cheers
[G2 General] citytrader:
Hello, why are you worried about LTE?... Telcel LTE is crap, Telcel in general is crap in the DF (they filter the Skyper traffic) and in Movistar the simple internet connection is horrible (they use traffic filtering, for example VIBER degrades after 3min of usage), so imagine how good could be LTE... I have in Mexico D802SEA with IUSACELL, I think is better option compared to the others model of G2

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

At the moment custom roms are pure crap in all models, better if you stick with stock rom.
[G2 General] zarape2:
Thank you both, actually I have iusacell but I'm planning to change to movistar for the prepaid all inclusive plan. But I have to wait a few months before the company change occurs. Well thank you again. Regards
[G2 General] citytrader:
My suggestion, don´t move from IUSACELL, my other phone a Galaxy S2 is under Telcel and the signal in general is the worst I ever seen in a company, and Movistar internet is not good, as I told before, they filter services and for me, this the enough condition for not to contract a service. At the moment IUSACELL is the only company that dont filter internet traffic, of course I dont like so much their service too, but its the better between the three providers.
[G2 General] Rayan:
Totally agree with you... But I see it differently... I consider the stock ROM really good. For me it does not need anything else. I hate AOSP plain vanilla actually.

But each it's own.

Cheers
[G2 General] Rayan:
I'm sorry but to make that kind of recommendation first we need to know where's he located, IUSACELL is crap where I live for example. (Baja California)

Saludos
[G2 General] omegajester:
Au contraire my friend, roms are, as a matter of fact, interchangeable. You just need to flash a kernel based of YOUR phone version.

Why, as of now I have a Wind mobile G2 running a T Mobile based rom, with working wifi calling and everything :)
[G2 General] citytrader:
I'm in DF :D
[G2 General] Rayan:
I stand corrected my friend!

Thanks for the heads up!

However as I said before, I really enjoy the original ROM as it is.

Cheers
[G2 General] Rayan:
I heard Telcel is ****ty down there... Thus the Tel**** nickname :sly:

Cheers
[G2 General] citytrader:
Its better to use the rom designed for your model, in the SYSTEM directory you have libraries and some driver like WIFI drivers, etc, maybe it work, but I dont think it will work better than a rom designed for a particular model.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

Even the normal voice call does not work, here the network is totally saturated.

One more guys, sorry for the persistence. But what about the factory unlocked version. The one without carrier logo on the back? That one comes without bloatware. Right?
[G2 General] T.C.P:
I'm in Toluca and telcel is ok in some parts, and crapy in others
[G2 General] omegajester:
Works great for me lol. I wanted better compatibility with my rom and my t Mobile sim, so I also flashed a T Mobile based modem. I get the same speeds/dbu etc as my friends original T Mobile G2 :)
[G2 General] zizoux2:
Hi Rayan, one question, how do yo unlock this T-MOBILE LG G2?...
[G2 General] Rayan:
Just ask T-Mobile to have it unlocked.

EDIT: Ooops I overlooked your location, if you are in Venezuela it might be a bit difficult to ask T-Mobile, or maybe you can call them? If that's not an option to you, you might want to try the many unlocking services online.

Cheers!
[G2 General] zizoux2:
Thanks Rayan, I will try with a online unlock service.

When I use pocket explorer to check and send email using my web-based email accounts such as yahoo or gmail, the button to attach files to the messages doesn't appear when I create email messages.

Is this a natural problem of pocket IE? Is there any way to attach files to messages using web-based email and pocket IE?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Xilicon:
most likely this has to do with how much PIE supports scripts/java and other things. I'm not so informed of exactly what the problem is, but suffice it to say that it is not supported in PIE. You might want to try netfront.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Xilicon:
sorry, you can use a webmail like gmail which supports pop3 and then you can simply load those settings onto the Magician and work from there, that's what I do and it's far more convenient. If you don't have a gmail account and want one, PM me your email address and I'll invite you.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rocket:
aha, thanks for the info Xilicon! Thanks for the offer as well. I have a gmail account already, but I haven't set it up for pop3 yet. I'll do that soon as I can. Thanks again!

Hello, unfortunately I dropped my s3 at the campus and first there was just dust sized scratch but then it fractured as the picture below. Now my question is, can contunie to use my s3 daily untill it completely broke or does this crack harm my touchscreen or something internal hardware day by day?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [2]ST3P:
My phone also has a cracked screen and it still works perfectly fine. In order to pretect myself from cutting my fingers while swiping over the screen and to keep the 'tension' of the screen I applied some kind of thick reflective foil like this one. It keeps the 'tension', prevents you from cutting your fingers AND you can't easily see the crack anymore. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depecheguevara:
Thank you, sounds great! But what's the mirror screen? Is it different from this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [2]ST3P:
There should not be a big difference but since I have only tested I can only tell you about the reflective foil. It's kinda like a mirror when your screen is turned off and as you turn the screen on you can see through it. When there is direct sunlight this might become a problem but for me it worked perfectly by now. If you still decide to buy a clear foil be sure to buy a thick one and apply it in a way to get the screen under 'tension'.

Good luck! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depecheguevara:
I will buy a clear and thick one, thank you :) And the till now there is no tension problem, i hope it wont untill I apply t.

Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300

I installed a custom ROM, so details are:

4.1.2

Kernel

3.0.31-1314436

se.infra@SEP-108 #1

After flashing the ROM and reinstalling Titanium Backup, I ran a batch to install all aps and settings. I was having a little trouble with a couple of apps, nothing major. I noticed about half a dozen seemed to be showing up twice in Titanium, so I deleted one of each. All was fine, except for S Memo.

It shows as a Widget, but not in the app draw. When I try and use the widget, nothing shows and it fails to open. I have tried reinstalling from Titanium, and I have also tried downloading apks, but it never works. In Store it says incompatible with the phone, which I know it is not as it was working before I tried removing the duplicate.

Any ideas how I can get this thing working again, please.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I am a big Nexus phone fan, having owned all four of them so far the past few years, but I am an even bigger fan of huge batteries and long battery life in my smartphone.

I was super excited when the G2 came out, knowing that the Nexus 5 would be based off it. Well now the rumors show the N5 having a small 2,300mAh battery, no GRAM, a lesser quality screen display compared to the G2's. Looks like the N5 battery life will be on par with the HTC One or so, I will just get the G2 instead, root it, and install CM10.3. I want a phone I can hammer on all day long, and still have juice left for going out at night, and not having to baby the battery. Only phones that can confidently do that are the Androids with 3,000mAh + size batteries, like the Note 2, Note 3, Moto MAXX.

Do you think the G2 will have a long last development group, and get a ROM port from the Nexus 5, just like the HTC One and Galaxy S4 carrier phones get the ROM's from GPE phones ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damasterjj:
nexus phone are nice but I notice that nexus phones that are made by Samsung and LG have lower specs than there flagship phones.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compumasta:
I would say you shouldn't have anything to worry about. My last phone was an LG Nitro HD with a small community for a phone that basically bombed and we still had official CM, Avatar, and others. No reason to believe that this beast won't get the same in due time. In fact, this community is growing so rapidly, it will soon overtake the Nitro forum and that phone came out in 2011! There is no way this isn't getting major dev love.

By the way, Thanks Devs!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnotis:
Check out the Optimus G Pro forum if you want to feel better. Even though it only got released in parts of Asia, and with a locked boot loader on AT&T in the US, there's now a rich selection of AOSP base roms available. The G2 will have a MUCH larger user base. So it's only a matter of time. Until then, you might even find the LG skin to be tolerable. After some mods, I actually liked the stock rom on the OGP.

Yes. The G2 is LG's flagship phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
If the N5 doesn't have the nice big 3,000mAh battery I will get the G2 instead.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
It's almost certain that the nexus 5 WON'T have the same 3000 mah battery as the G2, it's a smaller phone so there's less room to acomodate the battery, I would be "ok" with a 2600 battery , but a 2300 would be a total deal breaker for me, let's hope google is listening to our complains (one can only wish) :crying:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaT Franchise:
LG doesn't care how much lower end it will be because they know it will sell in droves just like the iPhone does, lg could stick a single core chip and a 1500mah battery in it and people will still line up to buy it.

The Nexus Five will be pure 4.4

It will be better software and better ROMs.

The G2 will be better battery but the N5 battery might be very good. Looks like google has done a lot of battery tweaks to the core services in 4.4. Plus the smaller screen and less bloatware battery life might not be too different.

The G2 will get ROMs but will likely all ways be months behind the Nexus. Hell, the galaxy nexus from 2011 runs pure 4.3.

Camera is still an unkown, 8MP is enough.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almahix:
I'm still hung up about the locked bootloader. It was such a hindrance on my Bionic that I sold it and bought a Galaxy Nexus. I know there are already custom 4.2.2 roms for the G2, but without the ability to load optimized kernels, I'm just not sure. I'm sure devs will come up the 4.3 and 4.4 roms in time so that doesn't bother me.

I've read that TWRP is available, and that is great, Can one easily boot into it to do backups/restores/flashes like I do on my GNex or does the locked bootloader interfere with that? What are the other downsides of a locked bootloader?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
It never was based off of the G2 in the first place. Other than they both use the Snapdragon 800 chip there is nothing in common at all between the G2 and N5. It is just hopeless fan boys who expected LG to just do a copy+paste from the G2 to make the N5 and assume the exact same specs would appear except the N5 would be stock android. Oh well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sil0:
In response to OP, absolutely, the G2 is a beast of a phone, highly unlikely that the N5 will touch it in terms of hardware spec and actual real world performance.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom540:
I updated to 4.3 a while ago, using fastboot without wiping the internal SD.

I have flashed a number of ROMs (carbon, psx, cm and I am now on pa), but poweramp keeps telling me that "too many failed files, playing will stop now?".

Occasionally it does work, I think after a clean ROM flash and media scanner, but I have no idea how to get it to work consistently. Music also works in other music apps, e.g. GP Music.

I've tried clearing data for poweramp and media storage, fixing permissions in recovery, wiping cache and davlik, moving songs off my phone and back on, but none work?

so it is possible on stock rom?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erovia:
For custom roms you have to flash a Google Apps (Gapps) package separately. This contains all the google apps you need.

Btw, you can try installing Xposed Framework and XThemeEngine. They require root.

Or wait for the Themer app by MyScreenColor to be released. It will be a non-root app and contains awesome designer themes.
