I don't think that is possible due to the limitation of the sensor, when cropping to 16:9 the 20.7MP area, it wouldn't be 20.7MP anymore.

the 4:3 is 5248x3936

16:9 at 20.7MP would be 6060x3409 or around there, while the height would fit, the length of would not, missing around 700ish pixels on the length to make it 20.7MP 16:9. Would need at least a 27.6MP or so 4:3 sensor to get 20.7MP 16:9.

Perhaps kit kat will enable 20.7MP 4:3 in superior mode for the rest of the world.
[Xperia Z1 General] ljw2k:
That would be nice if they could do that and I understand what you are saying in regards to the pixels needed for full 20mp 16.9.

I hope KitKat won't drain the battery as I am finding it excellent with 4.3 and just coming upto 4 days and 18% remaining that's with over 8 hrs talk and taking a few pics and so on.

Hi All,

Since CM (11, 12, 12.1) does not have pie controls anymore and you want to use LMT Launcher with your softkeys removed.

Or you hate the on-screen navigation keys and would like to install All In One Gestures

Also if you're flashing nightly builds and hate to re-edit build.prop just to append "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1".

You only have to flash this once. If you're flashing nightlies, the addon.d script will reapply the mod

Or you just hate the softkeys on your device and want it to be removed.

Then this is for you. Please find the attached files below this post.

NOTE:

LMT launcher is not included in this zip. Please visit the LMT Launcher thread and download the latest build.

LMT Launcher Thread

All In One Gestures can be downloaded on the PlayStore here.

Please make a nandroid backup first just to make sure that this meets your needs. Or you can just use the revert file.

This has been tested already on my devices with no issues (mako (Nexus 4), flo (Nexus 7), togari (Xperia Z Ultra) and leo (Xperia Z 3)). :good:

Flash at your own risk.

Thanks and Have a Good Day!

I got one unit today just for testing. I do not own it unfortunately. :(

The unit is amazing, it detects the typing very accurately, however, I need to adjust to this new 'style' for a while before I can do the typing like usual (its a funny to realize I'm typing on something 'virtual' on my desk).

It comes with driver for Palm, WM 2003, but no WM5. But, guess what, it works perfectly with my Universal without any additional software. The bundled software, however, will allow you to set the intensity, time out, etc.

The vendor web site is: http://www.itechdynamic.com/

I rooted my samsung for the first time Friday (worked out great). I just installed Rom Toolbox Pro & was looking through the features (I should of backed up first thing!) & decided to install a custom boot animation (big mistake!). The boot animation worked fine but even though the phone boots up & actually works, the screen is stuck in the boot animation state & will not bring up the home screen.

I've tried everything (actually learned quite a bit) using CWM to install boot animation disable zips, clear all kinds of caches, & even clear data & factory reset (lost everything). Even used odin3 to install Jelly Bean (originally ice cream sandwich 4.0.4.) & still this f$%^ing boot animation will not clear off the screen.

The phone still works to where I can answer & if I flip it on the side I can use the voice app with the home key to see half the screen (scrolling is a pain) but if I click to the home screen the dam boot animation takes over the whole screen again.

The firmware updates & zip files don't work. Is there a full android system out there to restore it or some way easy to get my home screen back. I really don't want to turn it to a brick if possible.

Thanks for all your help

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jstc:
ok, if you still can access your phone thats good news because i can hep you get your phone back to normal mode without harming any of your files or anything... :) what you need is a rooted (preferable identical to yours) android device.

1) in the second working device, use the filemanager of your choice that has root access and copy the file in system/media/bootanimation.zip to an accessable location in an ext sd.

2) since you can use your phone, install the app bootanimation changer in both the phones, use the second phone for navigational purposes... it helps you to see where you are in your misbehaving phone.

3) insert the sd card with the copy of the boot animation to the malfunctioning phone and start the device

4) open bootanimation changer in both phones, and using the working phone change the animation of the malfunctioning phone and you good to go!!:good:

get back for anything you didnt understand... hopefully it helps.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyinj54:
I agree this device is a steal for $50 but with your upgrade still being a month out I would hold off for an upgraded version since most likely you will be keeping the device for 2 years. Or buy the g2 now and sell on swappa when g3 comes out and upgrade. That's how I like to keep up on the latest devices=). Just a thought
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scy1192:
I'd have to see the price of the G3 and if it includes anything much better than the G2. It's likely going to be the Snapdragon 800 again, maybe with 3 or 4GB of RAM rather than 2. To me that doesn't seem worth a $200+ premium.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podagee:
The g3 os supposed to have a res. Of 2560x1920 or something like that, snapdragon 830, 16mp cam,3gb ram,they might be stuffing their lg odin in there instead of snapdragon,but,we'll see,

The g2 is a good phone,but, in honesty id wait for the g3.

If you are impatient get the g2. Its really good. Only prob i have with lg is that they are behind on firmwares.

Other than that no complaints on the g2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apvikes28:
Considering the g2 hasn't been out that long the next phones out for LG are the flex and the G pro 2. These are phablets and a bit of a different animal. Usually manufacturers like to have a spring release and a fall release. I would think g3 wouldn't be out till this fall since the phablets are being released for spring. Samsung does this with the galaxies and the notes. Galaxies are spring, notes in the fall.

On that note I absolutely adore the g2! It is the best possible combination of size, weight, battery and specs. It will be extremely relevant for two years as it is running that snapdragon 800. Fifty bucks is a no brainer to me.

Well I had landed on the G2 after my many phone journeys that I always do. I got the iPhone 5S on launch day, after about 3 weeks i traded it for the Note 3. For my own personal reasons I decide to go back to the iPhone 5S and then iPhone gave me reasons as why I always go back to android and I decide to try the G2 out.

My experiences so far and I have only have the phone for about 24hrs is this phone is a beast. Haven't really experienced any lag whatsoever. Installed SwiftKey and Nova launcher and this phone is absolutely flawless. This may be the only android phone where I didn't want to root immediately. I thought to myself when I was getting it that at this point is was an older device but there is nothing old feeling about this phone. Glad I made the choice and look forward to browsing the forums and finding some more out about the phone. I also enjoy the LG skin 100x better than sorry TouchWiz!

AMOLED drains much more battery during web surfing than an LCD due to white background, if you are a heavy user whose screen

is on a lot you will get screen burn by the time your 2yr contract is out. My Samsung (AMOLED) Vibrant got it within a year. Also G2 has a 13Mpix OIS camera. Galaxy doesn't have OIS only digital stabilization still a good camera though no doubt. Battery life on G2 is much better as well.

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to android and custom ROMs as I just switched back to android last week. I looked some things up already, but I'm still pretty confused about working out ROMs on my Galaxy S4.

So this is some information that I got from looking stuff up and just wanted to confirm.

1) My phone is on MK2

2) Rooting is possible (I rooted my phone), but you can't download most ROMs

3) There is no way to change from MK2?

4) Only TouchWiz ROMs will work on my phone

5) Clockwork Recovery and TWRP doesn't work, only SafeStrap

I want to confirm these as I want to install CyanogenMod 11 on my phone.

3) There is no way to change from MK2?... Nope. can't go back.
