[LG Optimus G (International)] krk2krk:
LG G2, the latest flagship Android-based smartphone from South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics, is said to be underperforming on the market, falling far behind expectations.

According to the latest reports on the matter, LG has managed to sell only around 600,000 G2 units during the handset’s first four months of availability in its homeland market.

Internationally, the device is selling slowly as well, with less than 2.3 million units said to have been shipped, despite the fact that LG actually aimed at selling over 3 million devices, info coming from Asia Today unveils.

Made official back in summer, the LG G2 landed on shelves with a large 5.2-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a full HD resolution, while being powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor.Furthermore, the Android-based device features a 13-megapixel camera on the back with support for full HD video recording, as well as a front camera for making video calls.

The high-end smartphone also packs 2GB of RAM inside, the usual set of connectivity options and sensors, and Google’s Android Jelly Bean operating system loaded on top.The handset comes with the power and volume buttons placed on the back, beneath the camera, which should allow faster, more convenient operations, as LG puts it.

All in all, LG G2 is a device that well deserves its current position at the top of LG’s portfolio, despite the fact that sales are not as great as the company had hoped.

As AndroidBeat notes, LG managed to sell 540,000 Optimus G Pro units in South Korea in the first four months following the handset’s launch, which clearly shows that G2 did not manage to help LG gain too much market share.

What remains to be seen is what exactly LG plans on bringing to the market next year, and whether it will be able to attract more users to its side than it did this year.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I am not a mobile market analyst, but I would guess one of the biggest reasons is people being fed up with LG's crappy updates. People iust dont trust them, and dont want to be stuck with a device a couple of OS versions behind the major competition. LG is probably the world's worst OEM, among the big names, in terms of supporting their products. Every time, they release an awesome flagship (no sarcasm here, LG hardware is typicaly top-notch), just to abandon it after one update, if not right away. I just hope they understand this, looking at the sales numbers, an maybe (just maybe) change their retarded approach to updates ...
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
I think, with all respect in the word, that you say that because optimus g dont recieve an update. In my opinion, many people dont know about their version of android os, or doesn t mather if they recieve an update. Most people , at least in my country, start to think about this, when they need an app that requires for example android 4.0 and they have 2.3. But in a small amount of people there are many that thinks that the software version is very important. Me, you and some people that still around here to see if LG anounce the update.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
The g2 didn't sold that much because lg decided to follow samaung's glossy platic pattern instead of going for better materials. They copied samsung and it costed them.also the marketing was not that good. You need an agressive marketing these days. Bottom line,the g2 is underrated and i will buy it anyway soon:)

Sent from Omega pwd GT-I9505/smart phones,dumb people.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
No. :) First of all, I personally don't care much about LG updates, and I bought the OG knowing full well that it will be very much behind, or even won't get updates past 4.1.2 at all (to be seen, I guess). Also, I owned another LG flagship in the past - 2X. ICS update debacle for that phone was quite a drama, trust me... You can also check LG's record on updating other devices. So, no, I am not saying this because I am bitter about OG. :) It's LG's MO, that's just how it is.

Second, I very much disagree that most people wouldn't care about updates. I think it's quite the opposite.

But again, that's just my unqualified opinion... :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] ankit360:
+1

At least geek people who know Android well will not buy LG G2 instead they buy nexus 5 or nexus 4. Same internal hardware with 100% Android update. Even plastic samsung maintained good track record of Android update

LG has this issue since start
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
Agree with that, but most people, are not geek. But geeks, definitely will not buy G2.

100% agree with that man. I thought like you about updates.
[LG Optimus G (International)] krk2krk:
but we all bought OG at the time nexus 4 was also there na.. Nexus 5 is the reason for G2's sale ???
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
I believe they released it too fast.

G2 is the 3rd flagship model in one year.

A shop in gront of my house selling G2 for 200$ in case of 2 year contract lol

G Flex is 700$ with contact.

And i bought my OG for 750$ with contract, if i remember correctly
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
No, most people are not geek, but they asks geeks for their inputs.

Of all the people that asked me, I always recomended they buy the N5 or the S4, the G2 is not worth the difference to get "no support" from the maker.

Even if we rules out the issue with the total lack of updates for the OS, the OG didn't get ANY fixes at all for the other known issue, even if it was reported to them. So, I can not recommend the current flagship for anyone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
My 5 cents = Geeks tell technophobes not to buy LG due to crappy updates, N5 comparatively cheap with guaranteed updates and lastly market saturation
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
And LG just "sucks" compared to Samsung. Just like how Volvo "sucks" compared to the established Germans like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, even though Volvo builds some great vehicles.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BlackPie:
Volvo is the safest car manufacturer in the world.Just like any brand,they all have their own goals and mottos and stuff like that.Personally,I prefer most people to be chosing other phones from other brands(Samsung,Sony,Oppo,etc.)So that my LG can feel special without going everywhere and within 15 metres,another guy is using a different phone than mine.Just Sayin.I hate to go mainstream.:p
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Well the build quality, I really like LG's. But the trend now is with good build, should also come with great updates. That is how Nokia failed miserably. They have great phone build, but very outdated OS, and slow updates. But reality also says that most people go for the well-known brands, and most don't care about software updates. Heck they don't even know NFC.
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Well for me, my Volvo sucks cus management sucks... They're so thick skulled. That and they royally screwed me over over one of the car's problem that they refuse to fix... But that's not the point. If you wanna find me, go to Swedespeed. geokilla over there as well.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] liftedplane:
Recently my razr maxx last almost all battery life in a few hours... So I plugged it in and left it for the night. Next day it looks like it hasn't even charged... So I checked battery stats. Wth is this media server. Did some research and figured I must have fixed it. Plugged it back in and a few hours later same thing

Finally I decided to turn it off and plug it in to charge. It's since dropped from 30% to 5% and it's been plugged in for eight hours off.

I've got no idea what could be causing this aside from a bad battery... Sadly it is a razr and the screen has a crack so no warranty.

Any ideas aside from the battery that could be causing this.

Oh and I've tried two different chargers one moto one Sammy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
There have been a few people asking for a 4.3 version of Dandroid for the d2spr. Until one officially comes out, here are the SystemUI, SPlanner, SecSettings, SecPhone, SecMms, SecLauncher2, SecContacts, and SecCalculator apks along with bootanimation in a flash-able zip. This is still a WIP so there are a few pngs that aren't quite right.

This does not include any mods! The center, blue clock and the CM battery icon you see in the screen shots are XPosed moduels.

All of the apks are from CNexus' DeOdexed Stock ROM and the pngs for the theme have come from Dandroid by Danvdh with a few changes here and there by me. Thanks goes out to them for all their hard work and support for the XDA community. Also a big thank you goes out to Rompnit for letting me use his 4x5 launcher and transparent weather widget! Be sure to go thank him for all of his work on MOAR!

Since these are all based on stock, I have no way of knowing for sure if they are compatible with a ROM that has been moded so please make a nandroid before flashing.

This is for TouchWiz 4.3 only!

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk!

*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.

Everyone is encouraged to do what ever you like with anything I post.

You need to already be on a TW 4.3 ROM

Awesome man. Thanks and first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
nice

Anyway you think it will work on d2att?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
It probably will but there is a full Dandroid 4.3 already available for d2att isn't there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Here are a few more screen shots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
No not as far as I see and I check daily on new roms.. dandroid is still on 4.1.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Oh. Well give this a try and let us know how it goes. :)

In fact I'd appreciate it if everyone who flashes would let us know your results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alammori:
I just flashed it. It looks great as the pics in the first post. Thanx:o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
Looks great!! Nice work! :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
I flashed it on my d2att running official mjb and it worked..was just looking for more of like secmms mods. Changing bubbles and stuff like that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dazednconfused:
Looks awesome man, very nice job on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I'll take a look at see what I can do. Tonight would have been my night to work on it but I was at a Christmas play practice and didn't get to.

I use 8sms from the play store myself. It's hard to beat when it comes to AOSP mms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
Ok I'll give it a shot.. Can you make a zip of bootanimation alone please
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Here you go. :D

Edit: The bootanimation is different from how I've seen it in the past. Samsung uses .qmg files instead of .zips. This one is currently a bit choppy but once the new kernels are up to 100% we'll have more freedom to be creative.

Edit2: By the way, this doesn't have any effect on the down animation. If you want to get rid of that you can go into System/media/video/shutdown and either delete the 2 files in there or rename them by adding ".bak" on the end after the ".qmg".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
Ya and I can't find the bootanimation either.. Normally it's in system /media.. Idk where it's at now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Good job porting the theme bud, Wish I could have done this but I no longer own the S3

[MENTION=220657]chad[/MENTION], is it possible you can release just the images to me? not the APKs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
It's in system/media called bootsamsung.qmg. To work with .qmg files you need a porgram called "Samsung Theme Designer". I don't have any experience with that yet. Just DLed it the other day but haven't been able to play with it.

Thanks Dan! I PMed you a link to the screenshots in a zip. Let me know if that's what you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
Can I flash this?.. Or push it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Just flash in recovery following the instructions in the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Just an fyi, it's a pain in the @$$. :cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyhxc88:
Just flashed bootanimation... Worked perfect thanks a lot man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Actually what I need is the just images zipped up in folders

for example, a systemUI folder with a drawable-xhdpi folder inside and within that folder all the images/xml you changed, this will allow me to work on this with you and release a ROM

I now rely on xposed for most of my tweaks, Wanam is the man so releasing a ROM for all carriers will be a breeze :D

Framework-res is the hard one....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Oh ok. Sorry for not understanding. I'll probably be able to get that for you tonight after work. I mistakenly thought you just wanted Screenshots. Lol

Edit: Something came up and now it looks like I won't be able to get this done until Monday. Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] byransays:
Anyone else having a problem with contact app crashing when trying to get into a contact's details?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I just went into contacts called someone from there and edited a contact with no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
no rush man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:
Nice work. I get the TW bug from time to time and then after a few weeks I decide to go back to AOSP for the look it has haha. I'll try some of these mods to get that AOSP look :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Just pull it from your rom zip and push into system/app using a root browser and fix permissions. Reboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caddermeran:
I'm getting constant system ui FC. And no status bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
What ROM are you using? Remember this is based on stock so if you flash this on a ROM that has a moded SystemUI.apk there could be issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caddermeran:
I'm using the latest stockmod rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Not sure why you're having this problem. Here is an update you can try. Let me know if it works for you. Be sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caddermeran:
Oh, I'm using xposed framework with unicon module for kit kat icons could that be a problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Yea that could be it. I'm not using XPosed any more because I had issues with it messing with my status bar. No one else had said anything about having trouble like that so I thought it was just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
By the way, for those who want an even more AOSP experience on TW, try these.

Hello, im new to android and im inexpert, tryed to change the default boring boot animation, using an app called something like "Bootanim mod" downloaded from blackmart.I Applied a cool animation, the phone restarted, and now shows the logo, the boot music, the animation i put (with very bad resolution) and nothing more. Black screen. Please help me i have very important things inside the phone i dont want to lose.

The phone is rooted, could i backup the entire content in some way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
You were suppose to backup your content BEFORE you made such change. Idk if it'll work but are you running custom rom? Maybe dirty flash over it. Wait for some more insight. Maybe someone can chime in with better knowledge.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Do you have custom Recovery ? If yes then you could copy original Boot animation back and then Set permission correctly. The app may haver missed setting permissions correctly or may be the boot animation be coded incorrectly.

Please reflash existing Rom.
[Micromax A110] varuntheraj:
Hello Canvas 2users..here are few Important tips

1.Reset ur phone for every 2 r 3 months by doing so u can more battery backup,speed(because Android suffers from Defragmentation )

2.Charge ur battery upto 100% for atleast once in a week

3.dont install too many apps as they consume more RAM even we have around 70 MB free RAM

4.before rooting ur phone take complete backup of it

5.use flash reboot to kill task or for RAm booster

6.Use mobile Uncle tools to backup ur IMEI n all other stuff
[Micromax A110] Recognized Noob:
what do u mean reset ur fone? Like factory reset? Thats real stupid if u take backup.

EDIT [5/5/14]: UPDATED to v4.5.2

v4.5.2 update: LIGHT-mode is Blue/Orange DARK-mode is Cyan/Orange

Thought I'd share... some basic color/theme changes to the latest OEM TapaTalk Free v4.5.2 apk. Since this is one of my most used apps, figured I'd spice it up a bit to help highlight the

unread

topics and add some color. I primarily use "Dark Mode" in TapaTalk (thus my focus), but I did theme the "Light Mode" as well. A few screenshots attached here.. and attaching dropbox link for themed TapaTalk Free v4.5.2 apk.

v4.5.2 apk: (copy to phone, tap to install): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67314493/TapaTalk_v452_BlueCyanOrange.apk

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Awesome work bro. Are you gong to work on any other color variations?

Sent from my phablet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Thanks. Possible, but there are two issues with changing color themes... First, I had to change over a 100 pngs individually (to match the orange and cyan text... cyan pngs for DARK mode, and orange / dark grey pngs for LIGHT mode). Second issue: some of the xml code is split which allows dark vs light mods... but not all (at least not that I could find). So for example, the way I modified the cyan color (Hex #FF04ddb5), that variable is called in both DARK and LIGHT mode... so you need to select a color that is easily visible against the DARK and LIGHT backgrounds. PNG changes would be more time consuming... but if you only wanted different colors (instead of orange and cyan green) for the text, it would not be difficult. Send me a PM if you have a color request (for unread post text... and topic-author / reply # / views / post time... and I'll see what I can do.
