That's exactly the point. No one has bashed LG for their hardware. In fact, I'm sure most of the people here are very pleased with the hardware side of things with the OG. Its the software updates (or lack thereof) that we are bashing.

If it wasn't for the dev support we got here, I'm sure many of these people including myself would have dropped this phone long ago. Thank god for all the amazing work the devs have done here.

But as far as LG goes, screw them. The OG was supposed to be LG's "comeback phone" and their flagship phone. And how do they demonstrate that? By not giving any updates except 4.1 which SHOULD have been released with the phone in the first place, and then when they finally DO release it, it is months and months and months after any other software company.

You say it isn't a software company? And how is that exactly? LG is no different than Samsung or HTC or any other of those companies. Yes, they might manufacture OTHER devices, but they still implement their own software. Sounds more like you're using that as a scapegoat to ignore the fact that software-wise, LG just sucks. But yes, they do make a nice device.... That's it though.

It's hard to believe "That's exactly the point" when it seems like you missed my point.

By saying "screw them" because of their lack of software updates, you're writing off their entire set of hardware. I don't know about you, but I'm buying for the hardware. I'm on XDA, so it's pretty likely that I'm going to change the software anyway. Even completely stock AOSP or Google's ROM I would change.

Anyway, don't buy LG again if you don't want to... Just keep in mind that you may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Many people, including me, were trying to use pie control (LMT) with no soft keys. You can turn off the soft keys by putting this line at the bottom of your build.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

But if you tried to use LMT the menu and back button did not work. BUT if you use the new faux kernel both will work.

i think PIE controls are a lot more valuable in a tablet setting, in that you're not constantly receiving notifications for stuff and the extra real estate is nice. however, i don't know how much i'll actually be using it on the phone, especially given kit kat's new abilities to go full screen already in a lot of apps, and the often transparent menus anyway. also, the N5 is tall enough already, i don't feel like the navigation bar takes up all that much space, especially when compared to a tablet in landscape where it runs across the entire bottom
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
What apps can go full screen exactly ?
[Nexus 5 General] busab:
It won't go full screen in games as far as I know and that's when I need a full screen the most.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
not a lot yet, but i imagine a lot more apps will do something to similar to google now with the clear nav/notification bars allowing you to see content full screen

yahoo weather hides the notification bar, they could update to clear out the nav bar instead of black
[Nexus 5 General] Gibsonflyingv:
For me, I enjoy using Tab UI on my phone (coming from a N4). It gives a lot of screen real estate back while still retaining functionality and ease of use. I can't wait for a rom to have Tab UI. Honestly, I'm still using my N4 because of this. I have to agree though, I can't stand PIE on my phone either. There's too much going on and swipes often do something you don't want them to do. I always feel like I want to see time or batt % too. I might do PIE just so I can get rid of the stupid phone nav bar though. Almost an inch of vertical space is gone for no reason.

Thank you for sharing !
[Nexus 5 General] Whyzor:
This is such a great solution, enjoying my true 1080p in full glory. I've been using this since getting Nexus 4. The new KitKat feature to go 'immersive' has to be supported by newer versions of apps. And even then it requires more swipes & taps to use. PIE LMT navigation is 1 swipe and system wide. I just reduce the activation area so it doesn't trigger on accidental edge swipes, and it has to be from edge towards center direction (an important feature other similar implementations miss). Here's a direct link to the post for the LMT Pie v2 that works on Nexus 5 KitKat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] honeyp0t:
So I have been trying to get multiple roms to work and it seems as only the TouchWiz roms worked for me (getting LTE) Jellybean wouldn't let me connect to any LTE but gave me data.

So I tried to do a few wipes, I deleted my backups (like an idiot) and now I'm stuck with just being able to get into TWRP.

I get into TWRP factory reset and wipe everything then do a internal wipe and install a rom the rom installs but when i go to reboot the rom it gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen and won't move.

What do I do?

I just want to have a jellybean rom...

I can get into TWRP

and the fist boot was already finished this was the first Reboot after me being on the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
You need to read about TWRP before using it. You should not be wiping "everything" with it.

yeah i can i never used odin before.

if i do this will i be able to re-root? or will it update me to mf3?

EDIT: i just let it sit there and got my old recovery back. im on tw 4.2.2 goldeneye. let me check if i can reboot it without it getting stuck.

EDIT2: ok i just let it reboot and it now reboots fine..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
I have read 3 of your posts, you really need to start reading before you go any further...if your phone boots on 4.2.2 GoldenEye, stop there until you find more information on what you are trying to do. If you don't you will for sure be using Odin soon, may want to read up on that also...

Good luck.

BTW, you do not need to make a different thread for every question, go back to one of the threads you started, and ask ALL of your questions there...

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman7:
Just as an FYI, after reading about the bootloop issues many rooted or previously rooted users were having, I deferred the Update when notified yesterday. This morning, I reflashed to stock everything but my Data partition using House of Moto. At that point, I accepted the OTA. Everything went as hoped for. I was then able to re-root using RockMyMoto successfully. It took about 30 min total, and I was back to the exact setup I had before, but having successfully loaded the update. All I had to do was reinstall SuperSU and re-enable my Xposed Framework modules. Painless and ideal.

You can see it in the log.

You know, it's my wife's phone. I was going to root it last night but waited. Maybe it updated from MI1 and I didn't check again. God I hope not. If that's the case, should it be fixable when the next root comes out??? Or could it be fixable now???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Go ahead and try the no wipe factory mi1 from the thread I posted.

If it fails you might have had a phone on mj7.

There is no data wipe for that as well. just a different thread in Android dev.

Is the phone soft bricked?

There is a root method already out there, but some people suspect it has embedded malware, but it's not confirmed. A lot of people have used it without issue.

this is why you always check BEFORE attempting root, no matter what ;) even if someone tells me they didn't update their phone or their phone is running blah blah, i always double check because you can never be too safe :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
Is this a method separate from the one allowing you to maintain root through the MJ7 update? Is it allowing people to root after taking the update without root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3bl3d:
yes this is a seperate method involving a tool called vroot which has been marked highly suspicous for the time being. i would advice not to use it at this time.

the post that helps maintain root through the update is 100% safe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
Yes I too can vouch for the keep root update method. I am pleased that there was a way to update and keep my root privileges but it will be nice to have a safe and stable way to root MJ7 in case of a soft brick and having to reinstall the stock firmware... Good to see progress anyhow.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unidave199:
Reliable Tethering...

This can be a very tricky question that has perplexed many people including myself for quite some time! What I have found is wifi tether for root users is the best and most reliable but there are some conditions to this. What I have found is if you are a sprint customer you have to be sure to get the right version of wifi tether. It all depends on how much flexibility you want but if you want something reliable consider one of the early 2.0 releases instead of going for the latest and experimental one. The easiest way to determine this is to make sure that the little wifi icon is green and not yellow.

if you do decide to try to alter the sentence with the more advanced version, be sure to leave it on a generic mode with waln=0 instead of the specific evo 4G mode.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you're using a rooted stock, a lot of the roms come with a built into hacked sprint wifi tether, so you should be all good to go.

Hey guys

So here's the thing: my friends phone is stuck in a boot loop, when powered on it just showes the htc

i can flash a new rom and anything but here's the problem: Is there anyway to access the phones contacts before erasing everything??

i can't think of anything, if i touch it (like unlock the boot loader through dev centre for flashing) its gonna wipe everything.

unfortunally the phones not backed up on google either.

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Uhh...

You MIGHT be able to adb pull the file you're looking for... But I personally have no idea where contacts are stored...

If it was rooted and had titanium backup with contacts backed up... Just adb pull the whole directory where backups are saved
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] avi30na:
Thanks for your help man

no unfortunately it wasn't rooted so no t-backup either

adb.....well since its not booting AND I'm pretty sure "usb debugging" wasn't enabled is it still possible to adb and pull contacts.apk?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
You want the data directory... Not the contacts apk...

And as far as USB debugging goes... What the hell... Its worth a shot...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] avi30na:
i tried it, windows detects some usb storage but nothing shows up on my computer, also ads devices command can't detect any adb devices

i also tried wiping the cache from hboot but no result still in boot loop
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I told you... Your bootloop is from having an old hboot on a newer kernel...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] avi30na:
but she says it restarted and got stuck after updating instagram or something like that, no kernel flashing or updating happened there i know she can't do that type of stuff

so is there any other way to pull data out of this one? or its lost?

First... Sorry... Your not the hboot guy...

[Android Apps and Games] AggieDev:
This is my app for the very popular 7 Minute Workout based on giving a quick but intense workout to those who don't have time to work out for extended periods of time, which gained traction after this New York Times article.

Google Play link

Link to actual APK

​

What is the 7 Minute Workout?

If you don't know what the 7 minute workout is, its a workout based on a recent fitness science journal that says instead of having to work out a minimum of 20-30 minutes a day at medium intensity, you can do it in 7 minutes a day as long as the workout is high-intensity.

Why make this app?

Now why make this app if there are several others that are based on this workout? I myself use this workout and have used both 7-min.com and several android apps, but none included all of the features that I wanted if I am actually going to take the workout seriously when using it. I made sure to include:

Scrolling up and down during an exercise to be able to select other exercises in the workout and switch to them. I am tired of every single 7-minute workout being based on one workout per screen, it simply doesn't make sense for a workout exercise and is too restrictive.

Workout logging. This, I feel, is essential to ANY workout app, yet only 1 implementation of the exercise that I've seen includes it, and even that one doesn't show how many times that day you have done the workout, which is odd seeing as the exercise is to be completed 2-3 times each time once you get good at it. This app tracks each day you do the workout, how many times you have done it to completion, and in the options you can set whether you want it to log your workout if you skip forward at all or not.

Voice to guide you through the workout. Due to the nature of this app being a workout app, you most likely don't want to be looking at the screen the whole entire time, just when you want to see an update of what you're doing. The voice tells you when to start workouts and how long to rest for.

Customize how long you want the breaks to be.

Progress bar for not only the current workout, but for the entire exercise as well. This is surprisingly not included in most if not all apps that I used.

Any suggestions would be great to hear!!

Can anyone else confirm that the G-Talk app no longer works/signs in? Whenever I try signing in, all of my contacts and my own contact are permanently grayed out, despite having internet connectivity (tested both over wifi and cellular). When I tried installing Hangouts, this issue was no longer present, Really sucks because Hangouts is a major step backward from Google Talk for obvious reasons (no status messages, shows people who are away/busy as offline, bloated layout, bloated contacts list, doesn't show online status of people you are chatting with in same window, generally confusing UI, etc.)

Tried on Samsung SM-N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) but I do not believe this issue is device specific.
