Thanks a ton!

Just to confirm: This is for E980?

I want to try to make this as broad a supported project as possible, so if anyone else wants to contribute, now's the time to step up and light that candle, rather than curse the darkness.

We NEED more development for the LG OG Pro, and better recoveries will make that easier, folks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Yes e980 :thumbup:

Thanks to all who already are helping and those who will help get this project going.

It's going to be great.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
I hope it will work at all e98x phones
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
It should.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Heard from the dev today.

He's requesting that the files be uploaded to something like mediafire.com, zippyshare.com, etc. that has no .exe and is English readable.

Can anyone host them in mediafire.com, zippyshare.com, or something like that?

For some reason, he's having a hard time getting them on 4shared.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Ill make a mediafire account and

re-upload them.. it's gonna be a little bit tho I'm about to bring my kids to a birthday party. Then I'll get on it.

[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I know he's been busy, very busy and cutting down on coding time for most devices, but he does have the images. I can confirm that, so now, we wait patiently.

I'll update this thread as soon as I know something.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
Thanks man let's keep this thread up :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
Any news about recovery?
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I've not heard anything specific, but. I know he's been very busy, and I haven't wanted to bother him about it, and I'm definitely not breaking the Cardinal Rule by asking for an ETA, because that would do more harm than good, so maybe [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] will chime in with an update.

There's always hope. From what he said in our previous dialogue on the subject, it didn't seem like it would be too complex for him to work his magic on what we have, but man, I'm telling you, if you haven't used one of his recoveries on any other device, you are in for a treat! :good:

He's got the best features and support around, but he doesn't like people bugging him with dumb questions, so I'm not poking the bear. :p

If you really want to encourage things, perhaps a little donation with a reference to our recovery might help, because the work is free, of course, but I'm sure he'd could use a pint to grease the wheels.

It's worth it. I plan to donate myself as soon as I get paid. He's supported so many devices I've owned in the past so well that even if he didn't make a recovery for the LG OG Pro (shhhh) I'd still feel fine about a few bucks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
I agree with you about eta's, I'm not asking from you to ask him but just i ask if you have any news. I didn't get paid yet from my job when I get paid I'm planning to make some donations also to the guys here for their efforts.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Yeah no problem, I understand. I just wanted to be clear about my intentions from the beginning. That's all. If we treat him nicely, he might just come through for us! He's a good guy from my experience.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
I have been in contact with heatshiver and I ask him to make a build to new cwm 6.0.3.8 can i use the aboot.img posted here?
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I don't think that would be a problem at all. It's not touch, is it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
Can do touch and no-touch build.It's ok then?
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Sure. Go for it. It would be nice to have options.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
[MENTION=5165935]esimon311[/MENTION] can u provide a aboot.img because I'm at custom Rom please?

[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I sold it for more than I paid and used the funds to buy a Note3 at a great price, but honestly, the bump up isn't that great, and I sorta' regret the move.

Overall, the LG OG Pro is a better device.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] sharpeyedman:
I am still deciding whether I should buy ATT version or T-mobile version but I can not tell how these are different.

Can you guys enlighten me? Can I unlock T-mobile version and use it on ATT 4G as well as LTE? Flashing ROMs based on stocks from both carriers work ok on both of these phones? I have not had HTC since HD2. Thank in advance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
The TMO version will get full speed on both ATT and TMO. The ATT version will not get TMO specific AWS (high speed 4G). However the ATT is available with 64 gb of storage.

I would get the TMO version and unlock it - TMO will do it if you pay full price up front.

[General Questions and Answers] music_man185:
Do all phones start dying after a year? It seems like most products these days are made to break down so that you have to buy a new one. Are phones any exception? Most people get new phones every 1-2 years. So manufacturers probably just build them to last that long at most. I got my razr maxx a year ago. And out of the box, it was very fast and responsive. It stayed that way for a while. But recently, a year later, it is becoming laggy and unresponsive. Many apps freeze and force close. Including the home screen! I'm not a heavy user and don't have a lot of apps or media stored on the device. I regularly reboot, delete old messages and clear app cache. I've read other reviews of the maxx that say the same thing about a year after purchasing. But I'm wondering if this is an issue with certain phones, or most phones. My girlfriend and I are getting ready to drop $500 on a note 3 and s4, and for that much money, I want to make sure they will both be good devices 2 years from now, at least.
[General Questions and Answers] ayonbb:
yes i believe so
[General Questions and Answers] willblake13:
Well of course they do. Just like every piece of technology seems to do these days.

This was meant as a joke, picking on the mass number of android phones being released every year, and the pressure to have the latest and greatest at all times. A great example extended use from a piece of technology would be the xbox360 and ps3.
[General Questions and Answers] dkdkdk07:
well i disagree with that.. it might depend on proper usage and how you maintain your unit.. will surely last longer than 2 years or more..

and also as android users.. software developments makes ur 5 year old phone model rise from the grave! if you know what i mean. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] RozenSkye:
I would have to disagree, I have used my Galaxy SL for two years and is still functional now. off course there are major differences now and it might seem like crap after experiencing the newer phones and the higher requirements of games and apps but for it's specs i do think it's still in good shape. It just depends on proper handling and good care of your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] darthmaulbr:
yes, depend on usage i believe so
[General Questions and Answers] Saurabh Shah:
Yeah totally!

[General Questions and Answers] massi88:
yes but if you find the right rom & the kernel, your phone returns to work even better than before
[General Questions and Answers] xhoster:
As people said: maintenance is the key!

You are posting this question in a community build around the idea of changing things. Just read into some threads and maybe try to flash another rom?

I am still using my s2 after 2 years and am not planing to change this until it dies. Running the newest android and flashed another kernel and that thing is running way smoother as ever!
[General Questions and Answers] cristykid:
Not really

I agree, and it depends what do you want your phone do. In the end it's just a phone, that it's used to make phone calls

Is there any way to install the Assassin's Creed 4 Companion app on either the nook Tablet or the ZTE Vital/ Virgin Mobile Supreme? The app requirements in the Play Store say Android 2.3 or higher. My Supreme is a Jellybean device, and I thought the Nook Tablet was a 2.3 device. So the app should work on both, shouldn't it?

[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
Here are the wallpapers from all Xperia's, from 2010's X10 to 2013's Z1. I have compressed them into a zip file (not flashable). They are extracted from the respective stock ROMs.

I personally think that Sony/Ericsson produce great wallpapers hence thought it would be nice to upload them for everyone. They are HDPI resolution (960x854) so are perfect for the Xperia L/M and other HDPI devices. Feel free to use and share them as you wish.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
I got my EXEC a few days ago and went ahead with the corporate install - never been a fan of O2 Active.

The first thing I wanted to do was to install a decent task manager. So after reading good things about it - I went ahead with Magic Button.

However, what I have found is that after launching the phone dialer - it refuses to close and remains resident in program memory. Everything else closes fine and with no problems but the phone app just wont close unless you soft reset the device.

At first I thought it was a problem with Magic Button but I then tried GSPocketMagic+. Again, I launched the phone app and then tried to close it using the GSPocketMagic-> Close All option but that didnt work either.

So it appears that once launched, the phone app cannot be closed. Has anyone else noticed this on their EXEC/MDA Pro?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] starfish_001:
I don't use magic button but most of the closer apps exclude the phone app - do you really want to close that
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
If you really must close it, check this task killer out

This is from the Microsoft SDK, just modded very slightly by me to allow you to close errant apps, especially useful when I was developing VJBigPhone.

Be careful, it can close pretty much any app, including system stuff like GWES. But if that's one you want, that's what'll 'appen.

VJTrayTaskList

If you press the "Ok" button it'll sit in your Today Tray for ease of use.

Click the checkbox to allow you to close stubborn apps.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
Thanks guys.

Yes, I really would find it useful to be able to close the phone app - program memory on the Universal is precious to say the least and the phone app uses about 1.1MB (according to MemMaid)

@vijay555

I will definitely try out your app when i get home (dont have my EXEC with me) as it seems a much quicker way to kill the process instead of having to open memmaid - although it is a pretty useful app in itself.

Just a question from a fellow would-be developer - what dev software do you use to build your apps? I am looking to get into doing some dev work my self and was thinking about using .NET.

However, seeing as none of your apps require the .NET framework to be installed, I'm guessing you use the standard MS SDK?

I didnt see the above app on your website... is it still in BETA?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
mzaslam: I didn't write TrayTask list, it's provided as example code in the SDK. From memory I enabled its ability to close stubborn tasks, possibly did some GUI work and possibly changed the icon. Was some time ago now, can't remember!

I wouldn't say it's beta, although what Microsoft code isn't!? But I can't really take any credit for it, so I don't distribute it as mine. I just put VJ on it so can distinguish it from the non modded version on my PC. It works well though: I've noticed it does have one issue, that it won't load properly when your system is undergoing some problem, eg an application has hung etc. Then it won't populate the task list at all. But it's a good indicator it's time to soft reset then!

It's the best task killer I've seen, particularly for my kind of development where you need to kill hidden tasks.

Dev software: I'm going to be starting my info/blog site shortly, which will address just this kind of stuff. I've got very little experience programming for the PPC; so far I don't consider myself able to program, just throw stuff around :oops:

But I program with Visual Studio 2005. You can get hold of the beta free online, and if you need a copy of Beta 2 and are in the UK, I can probably send you a copy (I've only got 1!) But note, Beta 2 has issues with the WM5 emulator, which stalled a lot of my programming. But it's a nice enough environment.

You can get EVC 4 for free completely, so that's still a good choice, but VS2005 is perfectly competent.

However:

I had the pleasure of meeting this guy from microsoft at a Modaco meeting in London a couple of month ago (the one where that guy stole the prize phone!)

Prior to this I had been fretting that the PPC was good, but not good enough for thumb friendly use. So I wanted to write a program or two. I considered EVB, but it's pretty useless for my low level stuff. I met David Goon, who was evangalising .net CF 2. I discussed with him about writing today plugins and he said that for that kinda work, C++ was still the best way to do it.

So, being a C++ virgin, and only about 20 years behind the times, I started learning c++ in september.

C++ is unforgiving, but very low level, and it makes increasing sense to me. I still only know about 0.5% of all there is to know about it, but it's doing what I want, most of the time. .net is beautiful to program with I guess, but right now, since I'm still awash with c++, I guess I'll start learning .net in about another 20 years! .net is great if you're not doing low level stuff, and I recommend it. For me, c++ is still like trying to create the universe to create the horse to create the ability to teach it to drink! It's a lot of work, but it gets there in the end!

V

PS I can hopefully make you guys an app to just close the phone if you want. Give me a mo...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Arrgh! Someone else obsessed with force-closing apps on Windows Mobile! :)

Let the OS do its job and handle memory management the way MS intended! I haven't force-closed any applications for a week. No resets or anything, and I have a list of running apps a mile long. (Just checked, and I have 26 apps open, including ListPro, TCPMP and this PIE window. I'm also running PocketZenPhone and VJBigPhone.) It works perfectly. If WM needs memory it will close apps for you in the background. Why worry about it? :)

Just my opinion.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
Well, all I can say is wow. You certainly accomplished alot in a short space of time.

Ive been in the IT sector for a good number of years now but my expertise lies primarily with VB... yes yes I know!! I have in my time developed in Oracle and a number of other languages but most just didnt provide a true RAD environment.

So C++ (and its many variants) was not one of my languages of choice, not that I havent done some dev in my time. Its just not for me. C++ is very powerful but you have to put alot more in to get the best out of it.

Of course, the benefits of C++ are evident in its speed of execution but those advantages are no more (or so MS would suggest) with the release of .NET. All the .NET languages are more closely integrated and coded in the same IDE. OK so the syntax is different but they are all based on the same FCL and CLS ad nsame runtime environment

Anyway, thanks for the app and if you do get a chance to knock up a 'simple' app that kills just the phone app then that would be great.

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
I think the phone app is possibly the exception to this rule... I could of course be wrong. With program memory being as limited as it is, I dont think there is any reason not to want to give the OS a helping hand in its memory mamangement.

:)

Lets face it, if HTC (and I suppose MS) had gone about designing the HTC and WM5 the way most of us wanted then we (as in all EXEC/MDA Pro/JJ) users wouldnt have to spend the insane amount of time on this forum trying to fix the so-called "features" of our beloved PPC.

Dont get me wrong, I love my EXEC but with a bit more thought it could have been soo much better.

I'm sure before long we will see the PPC headed the same way as the desktop OS i.e. Service Packs, Security Patches etc. which isnt a bad thing really.

Sorry if I've gone on a bit...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
How is PocketZenPhone on your EXEC? I read from other threads that they are having problems with it. Is it true? What is its main function?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
mzaslam: Thanks for your comments!

Check out vjtaskkiller here. This is a generic task killer.

I'll try to write a phone toggle a little later, to quit or launch the phone approriately.

Re Programming: I'm happy with C++ for now. I'll learn .net at some point, but I think the hardware needs to catch up and have better integration of CF. Then we'll have no reason not to use it. But right now, I want to keep my overheads as low as possible, (what with SiliconS using VJBigphone in the background!)

SiliconS is exactly right, WM hibernation is supposed to take care of all memory management. However, I think especially as seen on the wizard, it's beneficial sometimes to give it a hand! Also, although for MS certification programs should be coded to be responsive to hibernation requests, not all are, particularly non certified code... so again, could be beneficial.

I have to say, WM5 is slightly laggy generally, so it's nice to keep it perky. But I would suggest most users don't need to use a taskkiller. However, I use smallmenu and never keep more than a couple of apps open, but then again, I've never had memory problems with or without intervention...

However, for development, certainly beneficial.

SiliconS: is VJBigPhone working ok?

Yeah, seems to be. It's v0.8 so I haven't tried your latest yet, but I will when I get chance. The phone's working fine for me and is always scaled correctly.
