So i have an htc dna right now. I love the phone itself but not a fan of the aosp bugs. We have great devs but htc does some big locking down. Does lg do the same? Are there any phone related bugs on cm? Is dev support strong? And overall do you think i should get this the g2 or wait?

Id be getting the Verizon version. I checked the dev threads and all my favorite rons are official so that's no problem
[G2 General] Sacrosaint:
If you can afford it, then by all means: yes.

The main issues with AOSP, in my opinion, were the lack of IR Blaster and Stock LG camera. Now, both those apps have been ported, making the phone really useable and great.

No one needs to be told why the Nexus 5 is great, so let's take that as a base for the G2, then add on:

-Wonderful camera!

-Incredible battery life!!

-Buzzword screen!!!

(Okay, I'm having too much fun)

-Minuscule bezels

-Interesting hardware key setup

-Double tap to wake

The Nexus 5 is still a mighty fine device, but if you can afford the G2 and enjoy the back buttons + larger size, then it's a great choice.

Ultimately, play with it in store and see if you like it more than the Nexus 5. As for AOSP support, it's good enough to be a daily driver, but will never be as stable as on the Nexus series, so if it's up to software, you should adjust your choice accordingly.
[G2 General] Foscot:
This and their stock ROM isn't bad either
[G2 General] rfarrah:
I came from the DNA as well, and I'm a big HTC fan. The upgrade to the G2 isn't huge but if you're like me you'll be blown away by the battery life, the knock knock feature, and a really responsive stock ROM. I have no regrets at all and am really enjoying this phone.

As always, YMMV.

Well being verizon i can't get a nexus. Thanks fior the informative posts :) o what exactly are the aosp bugs?
[G2 General] xzero425x:
Im actually so torn on this also. Im prob gonna hop off verizon on WED to get ether the Nexus 5 or G2. I have a galaxy nexus and love roming.

Im so sick of bad battery life. having like 1 1/2 hours of screen on time sucks so bad.

im a flash freak though. and the G2 on tmobile doesn't see to have a bunch of DEVs for it :(

I love nexus devices but the battery in it scares me. I also love vanilla feel of android. but doesnt seem like many devs are working on vanilla roms for the G2. ugh what to do :(

I also know roms and kernels help battery life. so maybe the nexus 5 battery can get better?
[G2 General] Norside:
It came down to what you set as important. If you want a great camera, battery, features, and screen (not the most color accurate, but wow the screen is amazing nonetheless!) then go for the G2. But if you love playing around with many different roms, kernels, and want a big development, and dont care too much about battery, and camera..well, then just go for nexus 5.

Take in mind that some g2's have screen issues..

I just dont like all the bloatware. If i could get vanilla 4.4 on the G2 id be so down. but i dont think you can.

I'm not really sure why so many people bash the camera, I find the camera included in CM to be great. I just wish it had a 13MP option, but nonetheless here's a sample photo I took using the CM camera:
[G2 General] robogo1982:
You just reminded me that I have to test the camera :)

P.S. this is my first phone where I too don't feel any need to flash a custom ROM. Works superbly out of the box.
[G2 General] jeff5347:
Thank you glassforest. I have been on the fence w the g2 and n5. I love flashing but the batt, screen and compliments are pulling me to the g2. I see u can root the g2 which is great. On on the gnex now and my thoughts on any device is as long as batt, screen , speed , speaker and customization are better than the gnex I'm good. I know there may not be as much dev work like the gnex but.... Does anyone know if the speaker is better than the gnex? And between the att and Verizon variant is there any system or software differences? I know the back buttons are different but not sure to stay on vzw or go to att
[G2 General] solox:
I love almost everything about G2. Though i'm not used to this big size of screen. Especially when writing, it's hard to do with one hand for me. If you want to use a lot with one hand i would get a 4.7 or 5 inch screen. Although with two hands the G2 is great. It feels more like a phablet than a phone at this moment. But i only just got it, maybe just have to get used. Soo, mixed feelings about the size, somebody say something good about the size soo i can sleep well :)
[G2 General] zabihjan:
ABSOLUTLEY if you are tired of flashing and dealing with painful custom roms.

this phone works how ever you want it to work. it is perfect in terms, of usability, usefulness of features and beauty.
[G2 General] albsat:
I don't get why cm 11 is not present in lg g2. It is the only thing stepping me off buying it.
[G2 General] jeff5347:
I'm not sick of flashing at all. I do want better features though .,.faster, better cam and such. I know the n5 is all that bit the batt and screen size...mmmmmm. I am just up in the air ...one day n5 the next g2... I will say I played w the g2 at the store and the screen size for me is the perfect size. I have good size hands so I don't see the size being a problem.

Oh forgot...since BL is locked I'm guessing no kernels to tweak colors, uc/oc, UV/ov...ect
[G2 General] player911:
The good thing about newer Android is that you can DISABLE apps in the SYSTEM>APPS page without even needing root.

We'll get 4.4 as soon as the devs figure it out. We'll probably see AOKP 4.4 first since most of the guys there have (Verizon) G2s. Also with the N5 being our little cousin, you know we'll get CM11 also. There still are lots of bugs with custom 4.4 roms which is why most devs are starting their builds from scratch and causing delays.

The current devices that have 4.4 or CM11 are barely running it. There are lots of bugs and issues still. And you'll notice that it's the older hardware that the devs are more familiar with that are getting ports. The Nexus 5 doesn't even have official support for CM11 yet. All just unofficial kangs. Once CM11 gets to a point where they can start supporting some devices, then we'll get some love. There is nothing stopping anyone from doing their own CM11 G2 ports.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
Ewww, use 13MP and crop yourself. That "4:3" has all the info of the 10MP "16:9" plus more. Agreed its a mixed bag.
[G2 General] albsat:
I tend to disagree on cm 11. Considering that gnex should be obsolete for Google by now, this phone is running cm 11 pretty well even though it has an incompatible kernel. But there is nothing here. Is it because of drivers that are not open?
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Imagine your phone but better in every way and with 7 1/2 hours of screen time brightness @ 60% and heavy I mean heavy use....welcome to the G2.

If you end up getting it, you'll be one happy camper :)

As for flashing multiple roms, keep in mind our tmobile devs got the device later than the Verizon guys. Development is picking up. The good news is, we can use the international roms with little tweaking after install, I.e apns, etc
[G2 General] SupaSwag:
Only way I can get that much screen time on one charge is by watching videos. With regular usage (not including gaming) I get at least 4 hrs of screen time with auto brightness. Better than the S4 so I'm not complaining :)
[G2 General] marleyinoc:
Glassforest nailed it except I don't think he mentioned that his research didn't turn up LG sucks at updating their phones. And they haven't spoke up about updating this one. If that's edit: 'your' thing then it's the only negative in my book.
[G2 General] jutley:

[G2 General] arnuckwade:
Is it advisable to get an at&t g2? I am currently on contract with my s4 and don't want to terminate it as it's been just 3 months.. but it is heavily locked down with the latest firmware that has no custom recovery and roms... and that is a no go for me.. I don't know if at&t has done the same with the g2 too.. If this the case with the g2 too, then there is no point in buying it.. however if there is no such problem in g2 and if i can flash any custom rom like aosp or cm, then i will definitely get one.. :)

I searched in the at&t thread, but couldn't know if there is any such problem.. I just want to make sure.. anyone?

Thanks!! :good:
[G2 General] rfarrah:
Didn't see AOSP in ATT, but CleanROM is there and it is near perfect.
[G2 General] dirt_squirrel:
After rooting and installing twrp in less than 5 minutes, finding out I can flash CM based roms, and installing the LG G2 xposed pack for the most kickin settings adjustments ever, I would say 100% with no second guessing that you should get this phone.

It takes the best part about a large screened device and packs it into a frame that is only slightly larger than the S4, and that guy only has a 5" screen.

The rear mounted buttons are odd at first, but once adjusted to they actually become very natural to use.

The xposed pack has allowed me to change the menu button to the default recents button and also enabled long press options to have other functionality. Buying the premium pack and flashing the kernel of your choice almost eliminates the need to flash a custom rom as most features can be enabled via xposed.

All in all a solid device device, if you don't mind adjusting to the buttons on the rear.

Some will say waiting for a nexus is the better option, and last year with the nexus 4/Optimus G I agreed. This year, the situation isn't the same as the significant chassis differences and accompanying features speak for themselves most times.

Hope this helps!

Hi

How can i swap sdcard and extsdcard for i9105p.

I alrady tried tuterials for other phones on i9105p but it breaks the phone and it needs to flash stock 4.2.2 rom again (and root again).

Thanks in advance.

(Actually one friend of mine is working on issue and i'm just asking for him. But if someone put tuterial here i'll root and give it a try later )
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
of course you break your phone with other phone's instructions

go to setting. storage. format sd card. then this format your external sd card.

go to setting. backup and reset. choose factory data reset and then your phone will be fresh with internal wiped. but also every setting on your phone wiped off

hit thanks if i helped u
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] maelfilk:
Of course you didn't help because he didn't ask how to wipe. He asked how to swap internal memory and sdcard. I'm also looking for script or any-thing else that can do this.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
I don't think you understood what I tried to say my freind.

By swap I meant replace extsdcard by sdcard so you can have more storage to install APS for example use a 32 gig micro SD as phone's SDcard partition.

It has to do something with vold.fstab file.

Like this tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991583

And when I change it the phone won't boot and wiping partitions doesn't work cuz change was made by root access.

Does anyone have an idea how to restore original vold.fstab file without flashing ROM?cuz phone needs to be booted to restore it, but unfortunately it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] maelfilk:
I you have backup of original file, download aroma filemanager http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 go to cwm and install it. It will open file manager in recovery where you can restore original vold.fstab.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
Thank you

does it need root access?

For example Can I paste moded vold.fstab through this file manager on a nonrooted device then if it doesn't work try another one or just restore original vold.fstab and forget about it?

Cuz I do like mod my phone but I believe root is not an answer cuz I read somewhere it have some procceses before android boots which is not cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] maelfilk:
I think it should work without root, all you need is cwm recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
I would say it needs root access and it doesn't, how?

although you can make changes on a non-rooted device but ROM itself undoes your changes so it have no use for modifying system files like vold.fstab.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
that file manager doesn't show etc folder containing as well as lots of other files.

Is it same on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] maelfilk:
Currently i don't have cwm recovery, but on my previous phone i succesfully used it (it was rooted).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
dude i was just trying to help you don't really needa be so mean

i actually call that partition from extsdcard and make the system to detect that partition as one part of the internal storage

i once found a script like that but i lost the link

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovesingh25:
I flashed factory image of kitkat and I noticed that my phone is getting very hot while charging even when I was not using it.

So I started investigating and I noticed that the processor,which should idle at 384 mhz,is actually staying at 1 GHz(only 2 cores).

I know it can be because of mp decision but then I changed screen off time to 1 mins and still it hovers between 1 Ghz to 1.1 Ghz(only 2 cores) which in turns increases the battery temperature (around 42 degrees centigrade) and may lead to slow charging.I cleared the stats and let system monitor record fresh stats for 30 mins and result was same. I think it could be a bug or some kind of background task which gets triggered only on charging(maybe processes like trimming etc) . I was not able to identify the process as most of the wake lock detector and process monitor apps are not compatible with kitkat.

I used system monitor app to monitor all this. Anybody else facing this issue???

Thank you

NOTE: I restarted after all this and battery level was at 70% and temperature was around 43 degrees after restart everything seemed normal and temperature gradually went to 35 degrees (checked when battery was around 95%).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sledge1:
So, i need to be super careful as this is the wifes phone.

Model number = GT-I9100

Android Version = 2.3.5

Baseband = I9100XXKI3

Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579

Build number = WanamLite.KI3.V3.0

We bought this phone off local forums a while ago, and it seems to me that it's already hacked to a degree at least. custom rom already?

It's got CWM(v2.0 CF-Root 4.1) on it already which i can boot to through an app on the phone and manually... (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2)

It also seems to have superuser installed? (su binary outdated notification, currently 3.1.3) i assume i have root as well?

So question is.. from here.. how do i update to latest version of CWM and android etc WITHOUT stuffing it up and ending my life as i know it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
Download the laatest jb custom rom from Xda which ever android version you want like 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3 and put it in your ext/internal sd card and go to recovery mod and do a full wipe as you are coming from GB and flash your rom.

Don't firget to follow the procedure which was mention on the rom thread which you are going to flash.

Good luck :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The phone is currently running a custom rom. You need to ask yourself the question 'Do I want to upgrade to a more recent custom rom (I'm sure there are recent WanamLite builds if that floats your boat), or do I want to upgrade to a recent stock rom & maybe leave the phone rooted ?'.

If you want to upgrade to a custom rom, go to the development sections, read up on some roms & try some out. You should be able to flash these with the CWM version that's currently on the phone; but as always though, read/follow the particular instructions for flashing the rom in question which are always on the first page of the thread devoted to the rom & are always very clear/simple.

If you want to 'upgrade' to a recent stock rom, get one for your country/carrier from Samfirmware, and flash it with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has instructions). If you then want to re-root the phone (if you flash a stock rom, you'll lose root), again, in that same thread there's instructions on how to do so easily (there are also guides stickied near the top of the General section).

It is simple;if everything goes to plan.But anything can go wrong with stuff not working.

Backup your efs folder and make a nand so you can get back to where you started.
