[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
There's been a few articles on the topic of the new 4.4 security enhancements, and I'm concerned about the future of modding our devices, particularly given the fact that the LG OG Pro's bootloader is still locked, despite the Loki workaround.

What I figure will happen is that LG, like Samdung has already done, will shove the new "security" feature down our throats with the new updates (if they come) and in true Trojan horse fashion, most users who update won't realize that the combination bootloader+secured and SELinux enforcing kernel will block any and all root attempts, so no more mods, hacks, tweaks.

Game over.

What do you think?

To me, Google, Samdung, LG, et al. are doing what they think is best, but it harms what we like to do with our devices, and that's a bad thing, IMO.

So much for Open Source.

Well at Samsung galaxy note 3 thread already they found a way to hack selinux. I hope here they found a way for optimus g pro but as i see all devs are they abandon us.Shane ogp is a good device.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Somewhat unrelated but they thought the PS Vita was unhackable. Didn't take people that long to get some CFW out for it and that was on a totally different platform than the old PSPs lol. Android is still Android.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hypnz:
Yes but remember my friend that ogp doesn't have so much support from the devs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schimm1:
So i decided to root a couple days ago and when i went to update to 4.3 it gave me the "Custom" padlock. I care more about warranty than root at this point and will do whatever to get back to it. Dumb of me, i know. The only other way is triangle away but the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet, has it?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schimm1:
My plan of attack is thus: reroot, triangle away, no wipe flash vrudmi1, accept ota.

In case anyone is wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Once the knox counter gets tripped theres no resetting it.

Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
I concur...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The "Custom" flag that shows up when you boot is not related to the Knox Warranty Void counter. You haven't done anything to trip the Knox counter so you should be fine. If you want to check it, start your phone in downloader mode and check the value there.

I'd re-root, then flash the no-wipe. That should clear the "custom" flag. If not, use Triangle Away. Then, once you're rooted on MI1, update to MJ7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schimm1:
Still at 0x0, thank deity
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schimm1:
rerooted and custom/padlock disappeared. flashed no wipe, uninstalled all my root apps, going to accept OTA.

Update: OTA took as if i had never deviated from samsung's creepily obsessive grasp. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HwaA18:
can you explain that a little more? i am hoping to do the same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schimm1:
I rooted a little while ago and tried to update to MJ7 but it did a flash check (i think) and gave me the padlock and wouldn't update. So i re-rooted the root de la vega for MI7 (which got rid of the "custom" padlock,) then flashed the MI7 no-wipe factory and removed root, essentially giving me a "clean/untouched" stock samsung. I deleted all of my root apps (supersu, rootchecker, barnacle) just in case the update checks for them and tried the OTA update. It worked.

Hopefully that helps. I'm not great at this stuff, just a script kiddie who follows guides.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Hi everybody

Recently I noticed a large interest in the subject custom ROM for Mega. Especially a lot was written about the AOSP. Please express, what do you expect after installing such ROM and why you do not like TW?

Another thing are stock ROM's stripped of almost all s-apps and other software deemed unnecessary in order to recover memory. Please share your opinions on the advisability of such action. Did you really needed all this reclaimed memory?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
-reserved-
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] celeronix:
I expect most of the new features for S4 and Note 3 to be available in this ROM.

I still dont know if we can expect full 4.3 update. Some web sites claim that Mega wont receive this "Premium package" update whatever that means. I dont think that Mega 6.3 is a mid class smartphone and it would be plain stupidity if we stay out of good updates. So very important part for a custom RoM is the availability of the latest Samsung goodies from the flagman like S4 for instance.

Also I think that TW is not so bad, I like its interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Hmm, I was asking about expectation towards AOSP custom ROM-s as such CM or MIUI. As you probably know, many futures in Samsung stock ROM depends heavily on TW. Massive striping stock Samsung ROM from all s-apps could even cripple your phone. But installing AOSP ROM will means clean-out all samsung dependencies, so there will be not possible to run futures from S4 or GN3. maybe I'm wrong, let somebody correct me.

I think so TW is not so bad either and was curious why some people are so opposed to it. I was user of Motorola Defy which actualization stops on Android 2.3 so custom ROM's were only alternative. Now I am not so eager to strip my Mega to bare AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] celeronix:
Yeah I missed the point of AOSP rom a little bit, but I strongly believe that a Samsung device without TW loses its advantages. I've been using Galaxy S with AOSP for a long time but I was forced to do it because of the lack of updates after 2.3.6

Samsung says that the new 4.3 update will bring new and fast TW without lags and constant refreshing. This makes me think that porting the new SW is better than Aosp roms. Of course there should be some roms based on CM cause many people preffer stock android instead of customized one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I just want CM because it allows you to port MIUI v5. I have always been a fan of MIUI roms.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
Hi, I was a iphone user 3-4 years ago. Then I realized I want more and Android was there with all the customization. And I own a LG G2 and it has anything and everything customizable. Its a perfect phone and I had all the Nexus4, Gs4, Galaxy Note 2 this year. And i just ordered 3 Nexus 5's. But more and more I look at Nexus 5 its reminding me of Apple IOS. Google is making it too simple and boring. Good thing we have all the Dev's that can do so much. What u guy's think? Is Google making Android to look like Apple's IOS? And Apple on the other side is making IOS look like Android. Dont fight only opinions. Thanx to everyone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukas_s:
I definitely disagree, and I'm not sure where you're getting "Google is making it [Android] too simple and boring." What has been removed in 4.4, or otherwise overhauled so completely that you are getting this impression?

There's only so much "difference" you can have between 2 companies who are using a desktop-environment with a grid of icons as the major way to navigate through the ecosystem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
Look at the launcher and the icons? Its a huge screen and only 4 icons
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's quite possibly the only resemblance between the two...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukas_s:
Well, 5. And, unlike Apple, you have the choice of downloading and using a different launcher. Many different launchers allow you to define how many icons you want vertically and horizontally in the grid, and even in the dock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
I know we can do that, but im talk i ng about stock phone however google ships.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
See very simular.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
How are they similar? Please explain. Just posting a screenshot and saying they are similar doesn't do much for your argument. I can think of many reasons why they aren't. Though The page dots addition looks very iOS and the Google now to the left is similar to how iOS used to have spotlight on the left. Only spotlight was the laggiest, slowest, most useless thing ever when Google now on the left is absolutely genius.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
After using the G2 LG UI or the Samsung's TW. With so much useful thing's. Like showing percentage battery, thats just a simple thing and plus too many usefull features. Like on lg changing the icon sizes . Anyway maybe the manufacturers doing lots of things better making important things available on their versions of the phones. There are so many features that its hard to write them all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freshlysqueezed:
IOS 7 is the one trying to look more like android.

Sent from my EVO
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeff2:
Yep. iOS7 made more leaps to looking like Android than vise-versa. Some things in ios7 are hard to distinguish from Android like the lock-screen, wallpaper, calculator app. I'm sure there are more but I don't use ios.

My guess is that in time they will mostly just look the same.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
its looks nothing like IOS nothing....................:confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim0:
Yep it is Apple that removed all the glassy effects on icons, menus, buttons etc.. to make them more flat 'à la android'
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No such thing because android is open source and you can always do much more than what ios can when it comes to customization and free market on the play store.

So no its nothing even close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hirenvasani:
Guys I am non US, GNex Lover, So I want to know is is exact connecttion between TI with GNex Kitkat update?

Anyone?

FYI

http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-galaxy-nexus-kitkat/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cstrife999:
Texas Instruments makes the CPU in the Gnex they no longer make mobile chips for phones and thus 4.4 driver updates are an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hirenvasani:
why cant google develop it?

and there may be few good community member who can develop, so what is the problem? Why google doing like this?

Any hope?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cstrife999:
Google doesn't make ti parts and probably has no clue how to. I'm sure devs here will get it done eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Loureiro:
TI OMAP 4460 is closed-source, there's no documentation about that chip, makes the job really hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Money makes the world move, not economical to continue development on a 2 year old device for Google.

Beamed from my Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steven676:
With respect, that couldn't be further from the truth -- TI makes a ~6,000 page public Technical Reference Manual documenting the workings of most of the chip, and the kernel and publicly-available Android hardware enablement sources are in excellent shape. That's a lot more than can be said for any other SOC manufacturer.

That said, the difficulties encountered so far in running 4.4 on Galaxy Nexus can be traced back to the closed-source PowerVR GPU drivers -- and because TI's winding down its OMAP division and GPU maker Imagination Technology has moved on to its next-generation Series 6 designs, we're unlikely to get new ones. I suspect Google had the same problem getting new GPU drivers, and elected not to carry forward compatibility code in the base Android system to support the old ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Google doesn't seem to want to acknowledge it, but it seems like drivers are becoming the driving force behind stalled updates. It's gotten so bad it's affecting Google's own devices. This should not have been a surprise since anyone involved in Linux knows closed source drivers are always causing problems.

Their dropping support after "18 months" sets a dangerous president since the device was still their "new" phone less than a year ago. Heck Verizon was still selling it until very recently, and we still don't have 4.3.

It's actually discouraging me from getting the nexus 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steven676:
That's a noble sentiment, but reality says that there isn't a single ARM SOC on the market right now that's not afflicted with closed-source driver blobs -- meaning there's quite literally nothing you can buy, or even design and build yourself, that would be an improvement on that front. (Down the road, there may be hope for Intel parts with documentation and fully open drivers, but even that's not a guarantee.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hirenvasani:
If there is no drivers, how custom rom is available, I saw 3 rom, out of one, one is exact copy of actual 4.4 but only for verizon.

If developers cam develop rom just day or 2? why Google Cant? And 18 months support policy is just bull****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Castro27:
You can develop a rom without the proper drivers however there'll be problems. Devs are trying to find a workaround for the GPU drivers but so far, no luck. Aside from that, looks like google tried to work on the GPU drivers but they gave up. Maybe there's nothing to do with the 18 months policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Google doesn't want to put money, people and rest of resources into 2 year old device. It never did and it never will. That's the only real reason. The TI **** was posted and reblogged so many times that it became ''truth''. What Google posted in their FAQ about being ''too old'' simply means it falls out of their device update timeline.

End of story.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Rom's actually faster & eventually needs updates though, thanks for the video :good: !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmas001:
Well, i would not be so negative about that ! As I said on the other post, I've tried the two 4.4 roms in the Development forum. There is still some graphic glitches, but i'm with "A taste of KitKat" since yesterday, had only 1 random reboot at the beginning, deep sleep is amazing, etc. And it's like 48h since the Nexus5 is on sale !

I think since developper made something very usable after 48h, I believe they can workaround those GPU problems. I mean even if google backed down, you can't know who was working on the GPU back there ... it could have been an intern ! :) Here I know there is 2 guys that each made a 4.4 ROM usable in 48h that are working on it, so I believe :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] R2DeeTard:
What you don't understand is that it is very difficult to make a build without the software to match the hardware. This same issue happened with my motorola Photon 4G. We were promised ICS on our phones, however motorola took back that promise and we were left in the dust. Enter the wonderful devs in that community. They quickly pounced on the ICS builds and developed one for our devices, but there was an issue... the drivers were outdated and the kernel would not play nice with the old drivers. It was tegra 2, and NVIDIA had stopped supporting that chipset, so what did we get? A build of ICS using the old GB kernel, with constant display and performance issues. That is what will happen with this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaijura:
One way to describe this for the simple/non-dev users is the current 4.4 builds you are trying a "new package, with old contents". Or you got a new car but it still has the old engine.

Until the OMAP issues are resolved we are sitting around twiddling thumbs. Which it seems google did when it had no luck in accomplishing and therefore decided to default on their non-fragmentation theology - it's easier to EOL or end support for the device.

I just wish that google would have told us earlier about this rather than wait until release. A simple PR statement months ago when KK/KLP was in development "We have issues getting Gnex/TI OMAP compatibility" would have saved itself from the onslaught of complaints it is getting now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyclonmaster:
Why google did not make Android 4.4 backward driver compatible as an option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 231658:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrJack1985:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nikolaylechev:
Hi all, I'm so sorry for posting this if there is similar thread. I've searched a lot about my problem, but still can't find a resolve. I want to update my Xperia T (LT30P) to JB 4.2.2, but my phone says "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:NO". I have read some threads but they are all too old and maybe outdated. I'll be very thankful if you help me to update my phone. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Only if a rom uses a custom kernel you will need an unlocked bootloader. Stock based roms can be installed on a locked bootloader. There is however no 4.2.2 stock based rom, as there is no stock update to 4.2.2 (yet).

It really has all been covered in the All in One thread (sticky in this forum).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nikolaylechev:
so I can't install even the CM10 ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:
No I can't either for cyanogenmod you need a custom kernel which needs an unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Did you read the first few lines in the first post in the first thread in the Q&A section?

It clearly states that if it says no, then you cannot unlock.

No unlocked bootloader = no custom kernel = no Cyanogenmod

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LaZiODROID:
Right. What happened in that thread was Sony Xperia support gave customers of Movistar (one carrier) an opportunity to make arrangements to send their phones to Sony, so they could physically unlock their bootloaders for them. Sony offered that service to that specific group of Movistar customers that had received SIM unlock codes from Movistar. It's a little bit of an exceptional situation.
