Instructions

I sold my Note II and am considering a nexus 5, but in the meantime i broke out my trusty OG EVO. I'd like to try this ROM but am wondering why the install instructions skip from 4 to 8. I'm very cautious and methodical when i flash and want to make sure I don't miss anything.

Anyone know where the complete install instructions are. I like to know what sd card ext to use for this particular rom, all that stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Did a superwipe, factory reset, all that jazz, but when I flash the ROM i get "cant open /sdcard/cyanmobile v5.5 mega.zip (bad)

Downloaded again, and got the same result. Thoughts?

Update2:Used the non mega version and it downloaded and installed just fine. Pretty cool ROM so far! Tons of options!!!

I used both of the ones from the market had to run it like 50 times but it cleared it up

[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
Contact the app developer, wifi works fine on mine and always has. What version are you loading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ebs512:
So you had black lines on your screen and these apps fixed it? I was reading black and white are unfixable? Mine seems to be getting worse by the day, extending more and more, little by little and i just had this screen replaced a few weeks ago, I never dropped it or anything :(

Edit: I just got off the phone with HTC support and they were saying when I took it to Sprint the 1st time, they should have replaced the phone, not the screen so now since I'm under a 1 year manufacturer warranty they want me to send my device in so they can repair it, I don't understanf why they don't just give me a new device?
[EVO 4G Android Development] C-Mo:
I'm having the same issue. 56% battery drop in only 1hr30min, android system accounted for 89% of it. Thant can't be right!! Am I missing something? I really don't feel like flashing a new rom again so soon after setting everything up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ebs512:
Turn off your backups and all will be well :thumbup:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arooni:
Hi folks!

I recently posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46213830 that shows how I unexpectedly bricked my phone. The phone has never been rooted/unlocked and was running a stock ROM when it happened. I was trying to flash an official ROM but flashed the wrong one apparently. So the question is, what's next?

I have two options as I see it:

1) Take the phone to AT&T and claim warranty; as it's an AT&T phone. I see two complications with this approach. I bought the phone used from some guy off of craigslist for $200 (a great price I think). In any case, when I bought the phone I activated the phone on the account of my mom to make sure AT&T knew the phone as mine and to make sure it was an honestly obtained phone (not stolen; or the person defaulted payments or something). The phone was on AT&T for a day and then I switched the plan back to my mom's old phone from the 80s.

First complication: So AT&T has seen this IMEI/Serial # before associated with my mom's account. I am not sure if that's enough to get a warranty swap.

Second complication: I forgot. Haha. Oh no I didn't. Well because the phone wasn't listed as active as of the time that the warranty service is being requested.

Third: I didn't originally buy the phone at AT&T, not sure if the warranty is thru device or the person.

2) Send phone to HTC warranty service.

First complication: I'm not sure since I was trying to flash the ROM whether they will deny warranty coverage. I might have wiped the bootloader I have no idea; In any case never rooted/completely stock.

What would you do?

Many thanks in advance.

Wow, just got my G2 on Friday night, and yesterday I was sitting around the house on WiFi all day, playing with it, I got maybe 12 hours out of it, before it was down in the teens.

Last night I charged it fully, woke up, unplugged the phone 100% battery, now 2 hours later it's down to 89%, and all I did was surf XDA and some websites for maybe 20 minutes all on WiFi.

I need to root this thing, and install CleanROM, and debloat this beast, because with a 3,000mAh battery and Snapdragon 800, I expect way way better battery life.. I am looking for Note 2 battery life, that thing could go 36 hours without sneezing.

Is it the ton of bloatware on the phone from ATT + LG killing the battery ? I am shocked at how much bloat this phone has, it's over the top with bull**** apps I never want on here, pretty ridiculous.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
If you had taken the 2 minutes it took for you to write up this rant and look for the battery thread you would have seen the G2 has amazing battery life. You are obviously doing something wrong.
[G2 General] Sckank:
Give it some time to settle before deciding anything. Mine actually took three-four days and some reboots before it calmed down, and now I have about twice the battery stamina compared to HTC One (which I threw in the dumpster btw) .
[G2 General] simorangkir_dcs:
Could be hardware issues. I had my G2 for a week now, and I tell you what the battery is amazing. I can easily get 4-5 hours of screen on time with 24+ hours battery life, and that's with stock. all sync (fb, whatsapp, twitter) with a few tweaks. I am coming from Nexus 4 and very impressed because with G2 I literally have a double battery life.

And also G2 is very fast charging. Only take 2 hours to charge from 10 - 100%. That's amazing!
[G2 General] crashN2u:
My battery is getting better every day. Yesterday I got 14 hours of use, 5 1/2 hours screen on time, and an estimated 2 1/2 hours to go at 15%. Definitely the best so far. With more tweaks, I'm wondering how much I can get today.
[G2 General] ignar:
I had some bad battery life initially. I found the biggest culprit of battery drain in my case was CarrierIQ. After rooting the phone and disabling the CIQ, my battery life has been great. It goes 24+ hours easily and it seems it can run 40+ hours though I haven't tried it.
[G2 General] gm007:
Ignore the trolls...
[G2 General] rquiett:
same thing happened to me. First few days it was great then battery sucked. Disabled the CIQ with system tuner and I get 2 days and 5 hours screen time and still usually have 30% left
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
The battery life is love and hate on this phone for me. The love part is the battery life on this phone is great. The hate part is you have to turn off a lot of things to get that great battery life.

I've never had to turn this many things off to get good battery life on any other phones that I've had. I have to completely turn off anything location related which is a big bummer for me. I always like to have a clock/weather widget on my home screen but it never updates with all of the stuff that I have to turn off.

It's one of the few reasons why I'm moving to a Note 3. But when you heavily tweak the system, you can get fantastic battery life out of this phone. Good luck!
[G2 General] rquiett:
if you only turn off the google apps location settings and keep the app location settings on you should still see good battery. I use the stock weather clock widget and it updates just fine with those settings
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Can you please post screen shots of what you are talking about?

[G2 General] EVOme:
This phone has the best battery life of any phone I have ever had, stock. Even better than the Note series. Clearly user error
[G2 General] puch0021:
Battery life issues are so variable between two use scenarios it's like comparing apples and oranges. As others have said, battery life is pretty damn amazing for this phone.

Post some results from GSam battery monitor or wake lock detector to help you sort it all out.
[G2 General] Sckank:
Might as well give you a fast screen shot of mine
[G2 General] Zorachus:
People with great battery life vs those with poor. Do you think its mainly settings and a good ROM or root with bloat deleted ?

Or is it hardware related ? Bad phones from factory shipping with damaged batteries or hardware ?
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Battery so poor, I might return my G2 for a Galaxy S4 instead, for the removable battery.

Just shocked I'm barely getting any better battery life than my Nexus 4, which got 4h On Screen time, and over all only 12 hours usage

Do I have a bad phone ? Or just stock is screwed up and I should factory reset, or better yet, root and install CleanROM ?
[G2 General] magnumrt562:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the LG G2 has MUCH better battery life than the note 3. Also, Samsung has much more bloat and gimmicky crap you need to disable to even get close. I had the note 3 for a week, and went back to my G2. Good luck bro.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Just got 7.5 hour screen time last night. Something is wrong with your phone. Have you tried a factory reset?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

This!!!! Make sure you turn off ciq and mlt. My results weren't night and day but these two actions alone helped me squeeze a little more juice from my phone...

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

You definitely shouldn't have to turn off these items to get the #s we're getting out of our phones. I have gps, quick remote off because I rarely use them

2X is my battery manager.... it runs 100% in the background and helps as well
[G2 General] Zorachus:
I just did a factory reset, and charging the phone now. It's night time, won't use it a ton now, but see what's it like come morning.

7.5h On Screen time is extremely amazing, my old Note 2 with CleanROM, and best battery kernel was getting around that, with all tweaks, and would go for overall battery life of like 24+ hours, with heavy use all day. Was hoping the G2 would be pretty close, but my phone is getting worse than Nexus 4 battery life, something's not right ?
[G2 General] joemagistro:
Youre on crack if you think this phone has bad battery life..... my galaxy s4 got 4 hours screen on time. This phone is getting 7 hours screen on time. Im definately going with user error, or an issue with that phone that needs to be replaced.
[G2 General] Zorachus:
I've only had my G2 for two days now, unrooted and still stock. I have had a ton of Android pones over the years, mostly every Nexus phone, and I love to root and install battery friendly kernels, etc...

I know to turn off GPS, turn off sync, turn off Bluetooth, keep display brightness set to 50% or lower indoors, reduce refresh times on apps to like 3 hours, not 15 minutes LOL, etc...

Saying all of that, this morning was 100% full charged, and 8h 29m later, with less than 3h On Screen time, I was down to 35% battery life, and was all on WiFi today.

- Either I have a faulty phone, and should exchange at Best Buy ?

- Trying a factory reset now, maybe had some wake locks or bad apps, see what that does ?

- Then will root it this week, install CleanROM, and remove every bloat app, which should do the trick ?
[G2 General] joemagistro:
i am stock rooted on clean rom.... Sync is on. gps is on, brightness at 57.... i am getting around 7 hours screen on time. I wish i could tell you how it was stock, but the second i took it out of the box, i rooted and rommed it
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Wonder if I should return at Best Buy request a new one before I root and ROM it ?

And what you said earlier regarding the S4 scares me away from going that route, with only 4h On Screen time. That sucks.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
You do all that but you can't do a simple wakelock hunt? You haven't even provided a pic of the stock battery showings... since you didn't search the forum for the battery thread I would assume you are either trolling or have no clue what you are doing.
[G2 General] Zorachus:
I did a factory reset from the settings, and now the phone is running full stock, not rooted or anything, and I have not installed my normal every day apps either. Just installed GSam Battery stats app, also just charged the phone to 100%, and took off the charger now, and started that battery app.

I will play with the phone a bit before bed, but more interested to see the battery % when I wake up tomorrow, and check that GSam app. I will post a screenshot from that app tomorrow morning. Will greatly appreciate any advice and help from you XDA gods.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
Go get better battery stats also. Kernel and Partial wakelocks are of interest.
[G2 General] jayochs:
lolol gonna give the galaxy lag 3 a go? good luck dude. I'm sure I'll see you back here lol

fyi, maybe it's an att thing. you're with att right? on Verizon, i have all location services on all the time with my weather clock widget running and I have no issues. maybe it's that carrier iq crap you guys have.

also yeah man battery life is god awful on this phone

lol.
[G2 General] MobileNick:
OP - you might have a bad device. I'm running stock unrooted and this is the kind of battery life I usually get (screenshot). Every once in a while something gets stuck and it does drain kind of quickly but a reboot usually fixes it. If you're getting bad life even after rebooting, may be the hardware.
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Ok, I installed that too. Lets see tomorrow morning what GSam and BBS apps have to show us ?

I did check really quick the better battery stats app, even though was just installed no way could tell me much of anything, but did show Facebook, Google+ and Google Play Music as the top three. And not one of those have I clicked on, or played with at all on this phone. I never install the Facebook app, I just use the web version. Also not a Google+ fan, so I don't use it, and would rather uninstall it, and same with Google Play Music, I never use that, I have an iPod for my car.

Maybe I don't have a bad phone, that needs to be exchanged, but bad apps running wakelock in background ? I think rooting and running CleanROM, and also using Root Explorer app to nuke those dirty apps to delete hell will help too ?

Let's see tomorrow morning
[G2 General] tiguy99:
I'm interested to see how it turns out as well. I'm stock and unrooted for now. When you start using the phone again, try downloading 2x, turning off mlt and ciq off the bat. If you're not using them, cut location services off and download better battery stats so you can monitor your phone activity over the next 24 hours.

I usually have my phone between 40-60% screen brightness no auto and get the #s I've posted. Hope this helps :)
[G2 General] Zorachus:
What is MLT ? And how do I turn off both mlt and ciq manually ?

Never heard of '2x' ? Will look into that too. Thanks.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Been using the 2x app since I had my galaxy s2 and its been my go-to battery app because it works and provides a low usage profile.

You're going to have to search the threads on how to turn off ciq and mlt because im using the tmobile G2 which has different methods for turning off ciq. We can turn it off right from settings. Not sure how AT&T allows you to do it

Mlt has a code you type in the dialer app...something like 3845*#*#800 something to access the hidden menu to turn it off.

The thread has the code for each version of our phones.
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Going to bed now. But so far looks much better after I did the factory reset earlier.

99% battery after 1h 18m off the charger, and 28m On Screen Time
[G2 General] HelloDominick:
I'm having amazing battery life on this. Mostly everything running on k

LtE crazy Web browsing, sms usual fb, twitter and IG. ND I'm getting about 13+ hours before I get into the 20%
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I don't need luck, I've already owned a Note 3 for about 3 days and the battery life is just fine and right on par with the G2. Where are you getting this info? Have you owned one?

Yep, as I said above, I've already owned one for about 3 days now. I still have my G2 as well to make a complete comparison and informed decision.

I know you and I have always discussed the lag, and it may be hard to believe, but I am having a hard time finding any. And to be completely honest, I am noticing more lag and delay on my G2.

There is no question since I've had them side by side, the Note 3 opens apps faster and is just smoother in general. Especially with the native apps. I can't stand opening the text messaging app on the G2. So much delay. And then third party apps also open faster on the Note 3.

I still don't have a final decision made, but I'm heavily leaning towards the Note 3. As crazy as it sounds.
[G2 General] Sckank:
This sounds much better already :) Gonna be fun to see your stats when you wake up ;)
[G2 General] magnumrt562:
I've had every non Motorola phone on Verizon. The LG G2 is by far the best device. Battery, camera, screen etc. I wish you well with the Note 3 but it's definitely not a better device.
[G2 General] Astrix Ashburn:

[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
A better device to you. If there was a factual "best" device, everyone would have the same phone.

Look, the G2 is a fantastic device. There is no doubt about it and I won't deny it. But the Note 3 just offers more to me, is smoother, battery life rivals the G2 and it will hold its value much better.

Heck, for all I know, I might have my Note 3 on Swappa instead of my G2 this week. I have definitely been going back and forth with my thoughts.
[G2 General] webwude:
It seems that I might have to do a factory reset as well. What's the usual way to do this (only rooted, no TWRP so far)?

Thank you for a quick reply.

Best regards,

[G2 General] macace21:
I too was flip flopping between the g2 or the note 3. I came from a note 2 and loved the device but it lacked build quality over time and anytime I wanted to run a pure android ROM battery life went to crap. What made me go to the g2 is strictly that the next nexus will more than likely be based off of it and when pure android Roms start becoming available I feel the battery life will be the same if not better than what it is now, which is something I don't feel will happen with the note 3.

Don't get me wrong I loved the features of the note but the big kicker was battery and the s pen, but I can live without the pen.
[G2 General] DeaconBoogie:
36 hours off charger, battery at 80% this morning with typical light use.

BBS reports a loss of 0.6% per hour.

This phone is BEAST!
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Waking up, just checked the phone, it is at 97%, which has gone down 2% over 8 hours. But it was just sitting in my office on WiFi close to the router.

Wakelock detector only showed Google+ and Calender in the red, which were activated for only a few seconds it seems. Guess we'll see what a workday is like, which I usually hammer my phone then.

Looking at system settings, using the battery since I fully charged it;

Screen 24% ( 43m 1s Time on )

Cell standby 20% ( 9h 16m )

Phone idle 19% ( 8h 33m )

Android OS 15% ( 2m 41s CPU total ) ( 1h 23m Keep awake )

Android System 12%
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah this is case and point why which phones we prefer is so personal. I absolutely hate stock Android, so that doesn't weigh into my decision at all.
[G2 General] cabreca:
I've had the phone since 10/2 and I was getting crappy battery life. Yesterday I decided to root and the first thing I did was to totally disable Carrier IQ. Holy crap what a difference! The unit is not faulty, it's at&t's faulty CIQ that's causing you grief. Notice how most people protesting about battery life are using the D-800.
[G2 General] anyen:
do you guys disable mlt?
[G2 General] dondavis007:
Battery is great, never under 5 hours of screentime. In flightmode I raise had 8 hours gaming hobbits and reading. Great

[G2 General] Semantics:
I don't have screen shots right now, but in main settings I have the rocker turned on, GPS off and the last box checked. What helped me a ton was going into the Google settings app and selecting location and leaving the top option on and the next two off. I also turned off phone tracking in Google settings as well. I use Cerberus.
[G2 General] brad piff:
20+ hours on the reg with tethering, nfc/bt/gps aren't always on... dunno if I'd use the word terrible to describe this battery.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
What features of Note 3 do you use constantly which are lacking in G2? You bring out SPen and do what? Magic starts?

Smoother? LOL. What "value"?
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Ok, so still unrooted on stock, with 4G LTE running all day.

36% battery life left after 18h 21m, but only 3h On Screen time.

To me, On Screen time is the most important factor to gauge battery life. I am looking to get 6h to 7h On Screen time, but with 3h On Screen time now, looks like all I will get is around 4h total ? Think I might exchange this phone at Best Buy tonight, for a new unit.
[G2 General] martindar:
if you played with your phone at 36% you will probably get another 3 hours out of it so there u have 6 hours screen on time I find your argument pretty weak and can only suggest you take your phone back and go with your note 3 ?
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I have been using the pen to write notes at work in meetings, to quickly write down a phone number and/or contact name on the fly and instantly convert it to a contact, etc. Lots of functionality that you may not even know is there.

And their multitasking blows the G2 away. There are other things, but the one I already love is having the Web open on top and the text messaging app open on the bottom and just drag content from the Web down directly into the text message.

And yes... Faster and smoother. Apps, especially the native ones, most definitely open faster. And things transition around smoother. There is no delay when you tap on an app. The text messaging app drives me nuts on this phone.

And what do mean what value? The value of the phone. The G2 is already dropping like a rock and Samsung's always hold their value like an iPhone. A G2 just sold for $390 locally last week.
[G2 General] Zorachus:
Note 3 ? I have zero interest in that phone, too large for my tastes, the N3 is a nice device, just not for me. I like the G2, just think I may have a bad unit ? Only other phone for me would be the S4.
