[G2 General] usmanxhmed:
Hi guys, kindly take my post serious, and give me honest opinions, let me explain my situation.

Like many of you, I have LG G2, International 802, i am confused whether to flash 4.4 Custom ROM (CM11 seems to be only relaible choice) or stay at stock 4.2.2 because phone is just a phone and all Apps work anyway.

Unlike most of you, i am from Pakistan, i purchased G2 brand new in Black, because its not launched officially here, which means i am under no warranty or unroot problems to get repairs etc. from company, so losing warranty is not an issue for me.

I am confused, whether to root, flash CM 11 or stay on stock and wait for official 4.4. I know even official 4.4 will look same as 4.2.2. Stock android look like Nexus is my preference, i like it, but reading so many people having troubles with custom ROMSs, and the difficulty, makes me confused, either to stay as it is, or make a move and flash CM11.

My past experience of flashing ROMs, was when i had back up Xperia 10 mini, i use to flash CM9 on it easily and use to go back on stock as well, which android 2.1 for it.

Guys kindly with your experience, should i go for flashing, install CWM recovery, official semi touch one and flash CM11 in normal way, or should i stay satisfied as i am today? will flashing CM11 and its bugs going to ruin my daily use?

Also tell me, i read intensively how to come back to stock, but many people having trouble in that as well?

Should i make a move or should i sit idle? I know many users like me, must confused like me, your help can be fruitful for us?
[G2 General] Incep:
I'd say go for cleanrom or rayglobe and find some mods for stock :) lots of things you can do with xposed :)
[G2 General] kapybarus:
I miss only one thing on LG rom, stock aosp notification center
[G2 General] usmanxhmed:
Thanks for your kind reply, being less familiar with ROMs, i assume that CM11 is the best and relatively more professional then most other ROM developers, i feel there product have more chance of being less buggy, thats what i assume, since going closer to stock android is my goal, not the tweaks as yet, in hate i hate processor option in CM11, why a user need to mess with clocking. I can be wrong here, frequent ROM user must know better which ROMS are more stable.

Xposed, i think i can use that with stock LG ROM as well, well i don't want to change menu bar and notification bar because i read in xposed forums, lots of people are having not to smooth time with it, it must be ok but i am ok without it, smaller bar or normal bar. Only thing i dont like about LG stock menu bar is, no multitasking key.

So you suggest me, to dive into a custom rom and you prefer a clean ROM for me.
[G2 General] usmanxhmed:
I miss look and feel of stock android, stock is LG is sort of rip off, of Touch Wiz, i don't need air gestures, i need smoothness, fluidness, i like dark colours of stock pull down bar, and other things of my friends Galaxy Nexus.
[G2 General] heymoe:
The first thing I did after verifying the G2 I received was a keeper (first one was a dud) was install a different rom. I went though several 4.3 roms and even tried some of the 4.4 roms that came out but in the end as of right now I running a lite version of the stock rom (Malladus). I didn't think I would ever run stock but I found a lot of the features I enjoyed with custom roms I was able to get by using Xposed and stock seemed to be more stable and I really wanted a fully functional camera. Even though there are still a few things about the stock rom I don't like, they are very minor and i can live with them.
[G2 General] usmanxhmed:
Well, thanks for the reply, i know stock has features, most i don't use, incredibly i don't knock on either, as i got use to of buttons, yeah, call and sms blocker, i hope CM11 may have them, i want to change for the look and feel of Stock android, and hopefully fluidness, as far as features are concerned, LG stock must have them all covered?

So you have reverted back to LG stock rom, lite version, then why not the official stock rom? HMM.
[G2 General] heymoe:
I mainly went with a lite stock rom for the debloat. I did run official stock and just disable things that I didn't want running but even after that there were a few things I couldn't disable plus I don't care for a lot of the LG apps. Malladus has a base that is debloated with most of the LG apps but also provides a LG App package that you can flash afterwards for those that want the LG Apps.. seemed like the best of both worlds. I will admit I did manually install a few of the left out LG apps like the Remote and Quick Memo.
[G2 General] Clark Joseph Kent:
OP this is solely on you, only you can figure out what will be your daily driver/ROM. With so many variables involved with Members, apps/usage so on....you have to just flash and test. Just because one has the same device does not mean you will have the same outcome or results.

Thread closed due to these kind of Threads, bring trolling and unneeded posting.

Merry Christmas.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmihai92:
Hello. I have a problem with my phone. For example, when I want to uninstall an app, I click uninstall but it gets stuck at processing, and it stays like this, and the app doesn't get uninstalled.

As an other example, if it explains the problem better, when I enter in an app's page, it doesn't show me how much space it's occupying, it's just keep showing "calculating".

Can I get any help? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
For the first question, if u are using the settings to uninstall. Try using play store. Second. If u are using alot of space. It is normal unless its like a min or so.

Sent from my GT-I9300.

Give a thank if i helped you. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmihai92:
Yes, I use settings to uninstall, because so I can clear the cache and app data before uninstalling so there won't be leftovers.

Not even the space is a problem, I have only half of the memory occupied, no SD card.

Edit: it's not like "a minute or so", it just stays like that, I left it 10 minutes and nothing changed, it was still "processing".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
First. There is an app called Clean Master to wipe out the residual files tat apps leave when uninstalled. It saved me more than 7 gb of space total.

Two. Tat is weird. How much is ur half? Ur half can be 32 gb as there are 64 gb variants. But 10 mins still nth is sth wrong. Try copying out the big files to computer. Like the dcim folder.

Give a thank if I helped you. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmihai92:
Even if I was sceptical that this app might help with my problem, it actually did! It cleaned me 879 MB of cache and residual files of uninstalled apps, and after that I could unistall what I wanted. Thanks a lot, very useful app!

Edit: I've got the 16 GB version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Well i used it and it is awesome. U can set it up such tat it reminds u to clean the space every week or month etc. And u can put a widget of it to clear ram. U can even uninstall apps using it.

Sent from my GT-I9300.

Give a thank if i helped you. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmihai92:
Yes, but I could uninstall apps only after cleaning that cache and residual files. I don't know why, but I'm happy it is solved without the pain of backing up all the files and wiping + restoring factory settings/reflashing. Thanks again!

Notification LED seems to be inconsistent.

My N5 is screen off and idling for quite sometime then an SMS came in, no LED.

I replied then turn off screen then when I got a reply like 2 mins later the LED works again.

Feels like the Notification LED does not hold a wakelock or something to save battery?

Does the Notification LED listener unload after a long screen off idle time?

This happens with TWRP and CWM. With or without gapps. With or without google dialer.
