Another Solution

I've tried your solution but wasn't able to get it rooted because some drivers that I needed couldn't be run on the Surface RT tablet that I have due to the tablet only allowing Microsoft developed software to run. However, I have found an alternate solution: Instead I connected my LG L9 to the tablet, opened up the DCIM/Thumbnails folder and manually copied all my pictures into the DCIM/100LGDSC folder of my external SD card.

Chances are you probably already know about this, but just putting it out there.

Thanks again.

I'll start with, I've reviewed the few post regarding this issue, no help. I've spoken with an associate that has the Note Pro and he's having the same issue of Chrome bookmarks aren't syncing with the stock browser. On my Note 8, the gMail account is syncing and the Chrome bookmarks are present in the stock browser.

Wondering if this is an issue that is being seen with many of the Note Pro users and if so, any resolution found or in sight?

Thanks in advance.

It's been this way since the stock browser moved off WebKit with the N3. You can sync with your Samsung account which will allow bookmarks to be saved/shared across multiple Samsung devices but that's pretty much it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I have been running this rom now since the night it was released and I went to load one of my live wallpapers today and my phone keeps saying unfortunately live wallpaper picker has stopped. I did a full wipe of everything before I flashed this rom too. That's just the way I like to flash. I can't ask any questions on the thread where I downloaded the rom at so this is my only recourse. I changed to the other kernel in the rom thinking that this was it but it wasn't. Is this a bug in this rom? Or does someone have any suggestions to share?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] netma2k:
Fix for this problem was posted elsewhere in Beans Rom 23 thread. But here is the work around: Long press on the screen, select wallpapers from the menu. Go into live wallspapers. Now press on white arrow on the right top and this will take you to the live wallpapers list view. Now you can select any of them and they should work. If this works, don't thank me as this was originally posted by someone in this forum. Good luck

Thank you for all the reviews. Another wireless you gave a stellar review to was the Backbeat Go 2. Which do you like better, the Backbeats or the LGs?
[General Accessories] vectron:
BBG2 hands down are my favorite wireless because of the superior sound quality and rechargeable storage pouch. But they are good for exercising, biking, active life style and by itself battery is only 4.5hr vs LG's 15hr. For a long term use where you want to take headphones out, HBS730 is more comfortable because you have that necklace around you (although some might not like it). 730 sound quality was not that great, but they are more practical for long term use like in in the office, or around the house, etc. For exercising and if you want total sound isolation without nothing dangling around your neck - BBG2 is good. In my opinion, those two are in different categories, depending on what is your priority of use.

[LG Optimus G Pro] saneksem:
Hey,guys

I spent many hours trying to solve my internet problems on E988.Even on stock rom i had a problem:connection was established,but sometimes internet stopped working for 10-15 minutes.Reboot or turning flying mode on\off didn't help me.

So i decided to root my g pro and move to cyanogenmod

What i became?Worse battery life and same problems with connection.

But after 6 month i finally found a solution

1.My first mistake was flashing radio from roms created for another country,it did the situation worse

there is no sense to flash radio after rooting and unlocking my phone using freegee

2.My second mistake:i made EFS backup,but was too lazy to restore it

3.My third mistake;i used stock "bic" TCP sheduler."bic" is not the best fo 2g\3g network i am using

Stock linux kernels using in android have 3 standart TCP sheduler types:bic,reno and cubic

you can google and choose best sheduler for your connection type

So if changing TCP(using Trickster mod,for example) didn't help you,you need to back up all your contacts,sms and other important files on external sd card or even better on pc and follow this steps:

1.Flash to stock rom in download mode using lg flash tool(you can found thread with flasher and .kdz files on this forum)

2.Don't forget to make a factory reset before turning your phone on,if you have a bootloop

3.Root your device

4.If you like stock rom,just root it and install trickster mod,then change TCP type,but i haven't tested it on stock,i'm using CM 11

5.If you want to use custom rom,root your device and install free gee.backup your efs partiotion using it,then install cwm or twrp

6.Copy your EFS_BACKUP folder on sdcard

7.Download rom,place it on sdcard

8.Enter recovery,be sure it sees your sdacrd,some lalest twrp builds don't see it,so you can flash early TWRP,you can find it on this forum too

9.Make a factory reset,wipe cache,dalvik cache,system,data and interanl_storage

10.Flash your rom

11.Better flash any other latest supersu through recovery,cm builds use supersu,which don't work with titanium backup or another apps for some reasons

12.Boot in your rom,download free gee,restore efs partition(don't forget to copy it from sd card to internal)

13.download trickster mod,choose reno or cubic TCP type.

14.Press apply on the top of app,save changes for every boot

*For best perfomance use deadline sheduler*

15.Reeboot and enjoy

Issues and quesions during installation:

-Recovery don't see my sdcard!

Flash earlier version,you need to find it on our forum,just don't wipe all partitions,as i did :D but you always can reflash to stock using download mode

-I don't press any key while booting,but it enters CWM

It's a cwm issue,flash twrp using .zip archive,can be found on this forum too

-Can i flash radio?

You don't need to do it.You have latest radio from your stock rom,which 100% works on your version of optimus g pro.Full wipe doesn't touch any radio file.

-Do i need to restore efs partition every time I change rom?

I am not sure,but better do it

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghengis042:
Caveats: I have never done this; I don't have the tools in front of me to even try it myself.

That said it looks like you're having path issues -- you should *not* copy adb.exe and the other platform-tools into your cygwin directory. When the referenced HOWTO says to make sure adb.exe is in your path, they mean that your PATH environment variable should include its directory. The simplest way to do that is to edit your user PATH variable and tack ";c:\users\.......\sdk\platform-tools" on the end -- get the full path that you used in your very first screenshot, where "adb devices" worked for you.

Then, log out and back in to make sure the new variable takes effect. You should be able to start a cygwin terminal and run "adb devices" just the same as from your Windows command prompt.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghengis042:
No. I don't think you want the flag to be a digit *one*, you want a lower-case L. It means "listen" -- you're running a "server" on your phone that will execute the dd (disk-dump or data-dump) command and output its results to whoever connects to the open socket. You're getting a 0-byte file because the command on your client side (i.e. the computer) doesn't actually connect to anything.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iterimpius:
Well, I guess you can still leave GPS on, it will drain little power. The problem with me was that google services were keeping the CPU awake, retrying to get location continuously, which ended up draining the batter, the device never goes to sleep.

But when my S4 is connected to specific routers, wakeup count of the wakelock soars up. Yours is about a third of total count, which is very high. I suggest changing your router..

I've tried searching, I can't seem to narrow my search enough to get relevant results.

I installed NullKB to block the annoying SIP popup from searchfromtoday. I first installed it to the memory card, and went into settings ~> input and selected it as the default input method. I go back to my today screen and the SIP still pops up when I tap the searchfromtoday box. I think that maybe it needs to be installed in main memory to work, so I uninstall, and reinstal to device. Still the same thing. I noticed that I can go into input, select nullkb, tap OK, then come back and it goes back to keyboard. It's like the change to nullkb won't "take" so to speak. Any ideas? Search from today is amazingly useful, but the SIP popup is a deal breaker.

Another quick question: How do I make programs launch on startup? I like to have magicbutton task manager launch everytime I start up the device. As it is now I have to open it after every reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
If i remember correctly if you go into magic button settings, there should be an option to automatically start.

As a rule if you want a program to startup when the device starts place a link in the windows\startup folder, i.e. a lnk file to the program. ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
MSigler - after installing NullKB, try a soft reset. Also, don't set it as the default keyboard through the registry - if you do, you may end up with the device not booting anymore and requireing a hard reset (lose all data).
