[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shermantech:
So anyway to make a logn story short, when I attempted to install the Quantum rom, I moved a bit too hastily and seemed to have bumped my S3 into a mode that it thinks it is a VZW device, and I assure you it is not. I have been working with it all day even with breaks to go to work without my phone, I can get it into download mode, and have CWM on it right now, but it will not boot. Any ideas would be friggen awesome...

My Error On the device reads.

This package is for "d2att" devices; this is a "d2vzw"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blaker13:
What rom did you flash?

Can you get into download and flash back to stock using d2att stock
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanwalexander:
I have a N5 ordered, to be shipped Dec 3.

With shipping, the 32gb comes to $460 CAD. I currently have a N4 16gb that can be sold for $250 I'm guessing.

Since I've been running Rastakat 4.4 on the N4 with ART enabled, it feels really smooth and the battery life also seems improved - almost as much as the N5 battery life estimates.

I do love a nice screen and wouldn't mind the extra pixels on the N5 and having a touch thinner device.

Those who went from N4 to N5, was it worth it? Am I alone in this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nytrojen:
Yeah it's definitely worth it IMO
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfrainTrejo:
It was definitely worth it. The speed on this beast of a phone is crazy :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpboi:
i actually like the form factor of N4 more, every time i pick up my white nexus 5 i feel like its going to slip out of my hand, i am not sure if the black version is the same. ordered some protective case to solve the slippery problem. other than that i thnk N5 is better than N4 in every other category.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon962:
32GB Black here. Soft, matte finish is excellent on the black and feels better in the hand. Smaller bezels and slightly wider in physical size makes the screen area seem significantly larger than the One but overall physical size of the N5 is only marginally larger than the one.

Went from N4 to HTC One to N5 and would not go back. N5 is a significant improvement IMO in every category other than speakers as nothing else comes close to the One with the speakers on the front.

Nexus 5 - 5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 inches @ 130 g - 4.95" screen

HTC One - 5.41 x 2.69 x 0.37 inches @ 143g - 4.7" screen

N4 - 5.27 x 2.70 x 0.36 inches @ 139g - 4.7" screen
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
I would say the black N5 is the one to get if you want to go naked with your phone. I've had a chance to check out both. I have my white one in a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. Naked it's extremely slippery. I wish they would have at least put the grip coating from the black one on the sides of the white. Instead it's just a gloss black paint.

The N5 is totally worth it if you can get one without defects. I was lucky enough to only get a minor power button rattle, which is gone now that I have a case on my phone. I agree the phone is expensive fully-loaded but if you think about it long term, it's more future proof than buying anything else right now because you don't need to depend on carrier updates. Instead you have a device with one of the strongest dev communities out there. But you already know that because you have the N4.

Most people I talk to say it's totally worth it. Just navigate around the amazingly fast interface and do a speed test with LTE and you'll feel great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
You're in a nexus 5 forum, of course everyone will tell you to get it :)

To answer, it's definitley worth it, it kills the N4 in every aspect
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
Honestly, do it. I kinda wish i woulda skipped the n4, as my gnex woulda sufficed. N5 is good sh*t.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
My 16gb nexus 5 is the best buy I've made lucky to get it last Sunday Sim free what can I say I was going for and had just got a note 3 I've sent that back and I'm happy I did the n5 is a beast and will get better imo .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1stx2:
The nexus 5 is like no other device I have ever owned. It is an absolute beast of a phone and you won't regret getting it at all. of course IMO. Even underclocked to 1.5 using franco kernel on stock rom, I can not get this phone to lag.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangri:
The beauty is in the eye of beholder. The N5 is worth $200 extra to me, how excited you will be to receive one I have no idea. If you're having these doubts maybe you'd be better off with the N4 if you like it (I, for one, hated the back glass which made the phone slide off my QI chargers).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beall49:
I came from an N4 and I have to say that it's not much of a jump. I've actually thought about selling it TBH (I go through a lot of phones because I'm a bit picky).

The camera is absolute garbage (can't focus for ****), it takes ok pictures I guess (when it focuses) and the battery life is crazy unpredictable.

The phone is crazy fast and fluid but I never felt like the N4 was slow. The phone looks cool but coming from an N4, you probably won't be blown away. I haven't been, maybe I'm bias IDK....YMMV.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier 2.0:

I still have the Gnex, so the upgrade wasn't as hard for me to decide!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shudder123:
love it. it feels a lot better then the S4 that I had previously. a lot smoother too. this is my first nexus device though so I have no idea how the others were like
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayLancer:
I must be the oddball one who is contemplating on returning my 16GB Black Nexus 5 for a 32GB White Nexus 5. The matte finish feels great but it attracts fingerprints like crazy when held. Also I have this fear that the finish will wear out exposing the plastic underneath. But having a larger capacity phone would be nice.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagman96:
I'm coming from the Droid Razr Maxx. With that phone there was an internal and external sd card. I saved everything important on the ext sd card and never had to worry about losing data. Plus with Safestrap I could create up to 4 virtual Rom slots. Yes that system had a modified TWRP system... but it was highly modified.

So, I rooted my VZN g2 just now and installed TWRP via Flashify. I'd like to flash Malladus 1.2.2 but before I do I want to be sure I know which files are safe when I wipe data. I'd like to know how I'm supposed to back up my data since this system is different than what I'm used to. Any help or links would be very useful. Also, is it possible to switch between different ROMs the way I could with Safestrap? Thanks in advance.

Sent from my LG G2 android phone
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
When you wipe data/factory reset from recovery your /sdcard contents are fine. No there's no sdcard but the folder is still named so.

I don't know about safe strap. But if you make a nandroid you can flash back and forth between ROMs. Its good to have a nandroid anyways
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
So I have some good news, and some bad news(at least for some of you :( )

I ordered a white 32gb Nexus 5 last night, which means, I will be moving on... It's shipping by the 26th, so I have a few days left on the SGS4G, but after that, i'll be using my Nexus 5.

Well, this doesn't mean that i'll be selling my T959V :D

SO... where is the good news?

well, I'm working on bringing 4.4 to this phone :p

So you guys can be hoping that i get it working...

I might have that in depending on how much free time I have, but thanksgiving break is next week, so if I don't get it in this weekend, look forward to some progress over the break...

BUT... 4.4 will probably be the last thing I do for this phone(unless one of you guys still owns one when 4.5/5.0 comes out and you want to pm me to take a look at it)

Time to reminisce....

- I purchased the galaxy s 4g with a 2 year T-Mo contract on February 28, 2011...(yes the day it came out)...

-You may find it hard to believe, but I flashed a vibrant thing on this phone after being told by the T-Mo guy that it's essentially identical.

-----I was trying to get to the aosp lockscreen, and flashed a vibrant's framework-res.apk, soft bricking my phone....

-----Back then there was no custom recovery for our phone(other than people thinking that Vibrant's CWM would work)

-----I made no post about how to recover, since I wanted to use my brain to fix it.

-I started theming and learning the true insides of android...I had flashed custom roms back in the G1 days, but i didn't really know how anything worked.

-Then custom rom making, and Team Acid hating me

----- [MENTION=4180139]GFX.myst.[/MENTION] , are you interested in unblocking my FTP yet?...

-----I also owe an apology @bhundven

-----And [MENTION=4152592]turtlepa[/MENTION] I guess for being a whiny little b**ch

----- [MENTION=5290530]noiphonehere[/MENTION] what's up?

----- [MENTION=4132811]RaverX3X[/MENTION] sorry.

----- @FBis251, sorry as well

----- [MENTION=1949659]m4xm4n[/MENTION], where are you?

----- if i forgot anyone, sorry.

-So yeah, it's been a rough journey, but I made it through, and I'm moving on :(

SEEYA LATER WITH 4.4 (unless Acid/ @DJLamontagneIII beats me to it)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
This is a good time to mention this... I don't own this phone anymore. We had a good run since the summer of 2011. I learned a lot thanks to you guys but I'm currently trying to focus on other areas in my life and I've had to put a lot of personal projects on hold because of this.

It would be awesome to see Kit Kat on the SGS4G, primarily because it's meant to run well on devices with low ram. I'm sure it'll run smooth!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:

I now have a test build. Anyone interested? I don't know whether it works yet. Since I have to go get out my sgs4g. (my n5 came in the mail today). Also, I no longer have a working sim card for that.

so pm me or post here if interested.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
nah it is just fine.. i always do that. that going to stock but not exactly that.

i use gremlin remover when i flash roms. :D

Did I ever mention here that my S4G broke on day because I am a spoiled brat? I kinda threw it at the ground and the screen shattered. I have a Vibrant right now and soon will move to a Moto G. (low budget phone ftw!)

Anyways, to my ontopic comment. KitKat worked wonders on the Vibrant. I honestly feel like it is running better then it did on GB O.o I wish you all the luck in the world on getting KitKat on to the S4G. I might be able to join you in your efforts if I can convince my sister to trade her S4G with my Vibrant...

[MENTION=4764526]Cooptx[/MENTION] ye bro, I am still alive but not breathing. I mean, I asked God to turn me into a vampire so I can join the next Saga series lmao.

Anw, I know this will disappoint some of u guys (n the others will say hurray of course lol) but Vietnam's main internet cable (I mean the national cable) just got bitten by the Lochness monster or sharks somewhere in the Pacific Ocean (this is real except those predators lol) so this also mean I can't download or upload anything w over 10kbps speed :( in the next 2 months!!!!! (Unless s.o offer me and my usb w the build a flight to any country else w good internet connection lol).

About kitkat or slimkat, I got it built perfectly but didn't boot and I know why, it was the sdcard mount problem as slim devs decided to switch to TWRP insted of CWM (we fomerly had troubles between TWRP and our vold anw) which I am or am not able to solve until the end of tomorrow aka last horror exam day :D. So cheer then :).

also, i somehow am able to fit my micro sim card into my sgs4g, so i can test things like signal and data! yay!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
any update our santa? PEACE V:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] inimeg81:
There is a change in the symlinks for how kitkat points to sdcard0 and 1 its kinda backwards. I think since it is standardly set for devices mainly running apps without a need for an sd.. our alias for those symlinks would kind of be backwards.. so i think all you have to do is edit the update scripts for kitkat whereever sdcard exports and internal exports are
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Can u be more specific? I mean, noiphonehere and I have known this problem and still haven't had any success on fixing it even manually mounted the partitions. The problem is the phone couldn't recognize the partition table at all, not only SDcard tho. Anw, any help is appreciated so if u can, pls describe it w code block or so :)

Edit: oh, at least now I can access the log w specific error giving by wrong mount points :p

P/s: u remind me of someone familiar tho but not sure :/ turtlepa?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Is this enough for a good news? I now that this version 1.7 is outdated (slim now has 1.9) but I tried my best to fix everything b4 updating the source lol plus u WILL have TWRP Yaaaaay!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
curse you monster that bites vietnam's main cable!

now dao cant upload his work :(

anyway, what is/are the bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Bugs r still the same w previous aries builds but I think sd-ext now will work properly tho, I mean for tho who want to partition the sdcard via recovery and use internal2sd app or script.

Plus new bug is the media.process FC. I will have to wipe out this bug first (mayb updating the source will help) then hopefully upload it (w this crappy connection).

At lead we still have kitkat b4 New year tho :p. And I might look into what Jeffsf did also. Do u allow me, [MENTION=3770444]jeffsf[/MENTION] ?

anyway thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AgainstTheFlow:
Is there a download link?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Not yet lol, I want it to be as least as stable as the 4.3 b4 uploading tho so just thrillax hehe. It will come online when it should ;)

At least u know that 9999...999% that we will have kitkat ;) so buy some more bottle of Jack and prepare for the Teeth cavity coming lol

And here is another news teaser tho: y'all are advised to oneclick back to BML and then flash kitkat. Otherwise, it might wipe ur phone since I changed the partition layout tho so that I can ensure we have enough space for gapps, not only for slimkat but for other kitkat roms in future :). I had to oneclick myself anw. And oneclick AntonX's kernel is enough, dont need to oneclick heimdall a whole BML ROM (its ok but will be time wasting).

And finally, kitkat on galaxy S 4G is.....smoooth like butter ;)

Update: okey dokey, I fixed the FC, seems like its stable enough to release tho but I will set up the ota url first and build it w that so you can get the noti everytime I update the rom :p

And yeeah, this Rom slimkat is worth waiting tho ^^ you will immediately be impressed by its have-never-seen buttery smooth hehe.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Cloaker:
I urge you guys not to. My buddy bought one and the screen resolution on it combined with screen size was MISERABLE. it would easily give you a headache. Remember the old CRT monitors? That's what it looked like compared to my Note 3. Also had noticeable lag. Seemed like a 2 year old phone with a giant screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Outstanding news and welcome aboard!

Articles like that were a big influence on my decision a few weeks ago.

For a while I was stuck in Nexus 5 or G2 fantasy land, thinking that I had to go triband (I'm even in one of the early triband test markets), but couldn't get past the no external media and sealed battery bonus features (mentally tried it, decided it was a nightmare).

But when I read an article in the Kansas City newspaper covering the Spark unveiling, taking about lukewarm reception to this cool new technology by tech reporters in Silicon Valley, due to Sprint mentioning that it was coming soon, vaguely soon, I went with what I felt was the phone with the best specifications on the market, for my needs.

Plus, this phone is fully triband capable. I have incontrovertible proof, I just ain't sharing it.

Love the size of that thing. the only thing that stopped me what the series of the phone (note>mega) had more support and Mega (hardware) was like half of the note 3 (hardware) (dual core, ram)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
How dare you attempt to hinder from a man's desire to buy something for the stated purpose of giggles.

That is an inspired purchase decision, and it has been the motive force behind millions of iPhone purchases for years. That's my working premise. That, and they are shiny. Larded in this fact-based speculation is that "shiny" and "giggles" are identical in meaning.
