[AT&T LG Optimus G] boathead:
hi, hope someone can help. i'm sort of a newbie, so i might not even understand any help you give.:crying:

i have a optimus g e970. i installed the freeg app,

i've been trying to flash a custom rom, and have been unsuccessful. two things have happened.

1. with the freeg app, i click on the twrp block, and it says 2.6.3.3 successfully installed. so i reboot into recovery, and it says ver. 2.6.3.0 is the one i have. not sure if this matters, but figured i'd lay that out there.:crying:

and so i reboot into recovery, but when i try to install, the zip files i've put on the internal sd card are not recognized....it's like they aren't even there.

so, i try plan b.

2. i go back into freeg, and install cwm recovery, and reboot into recovery. now, the zip files ARE recognized, but every flash is aborted. unfortunately i didn't catch the exact wording of the warning it gave me, but i'm thinking maybe i had a rom not for the e970, but i'm not sure.

before i brick this thing, are there any suggestions? the rom on the device is Android version 4.1.2. i'm not big into flashing roms, but i have done so in the past if i have line by line instructions that i can follow.:)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
Depending on what rom you are flashing You may need a more updated recovery.

Edit: nevermind you have 2.6.3.0, that is the newest version. However there is a kitkat 2.6.3.0 if ur flashing kitkat roms , use a recovery that support it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231049

I put zips on SD card when I flash. When ur flashing ur also wiping things on your internal
[AT&T LG Optimus G] boathead:
do you mean put the zips on the micro sd card (external)? i did wipe. thanks for the link...i will check that link out later when i have time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] boathead:
ok, i read that thread, didn't take me a whole lotta time. hahah. but next question.

the kit kat twrp....do i need that recovery if i am already on a kk, which i am not, or if i am going to flash a kk rom?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] boathead:
ok, this is where i'm at:

i have the kk twrp zip. i put everything on internal sd card. no recognition of zips.

i put everything on external sd card. no recognition of zips.

where i go from here, i'm all ears.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
If you were already on kitkat you wouldn't need a kitkat recovery to run the phone .. If you're going to flash a kk rom you will need a kk recovery. The question is confusing ... So my answer may be confusing as well..

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

I don't know what internal SD card mean , the SD card or internal memory.. However regardless of the version of your recovery you should still be able to see the zips. If you are able to you may just put the kk recovery zip on your SD card, flash it , reboot recovery and see what happens. Also I think in twrp you are able to pick either to use internal memory or SD card too ( its in the options I think )
[AT&T LG Optimus G] boathead:
hey, thanks for your help. i know my questions can be confusing. such is being a newbie on this stuff, i don't know the precise phraseology sometimes.

nonetheless, i played around with that link you provided, and i think i might be good to go. i'll lay out what i did to help anyone who is in my positions.

i downloaded the zip for the twrp for kit kat. i was on 4.1.2, trying to flash a kk rom.

i put the zip on my internal storage, and rebooted into my already existing twrp recovery. zip not recognized. so i rebooted into cwm recovery, and the zip now was detected. i flashed the twrp for kk recovery.

rebooted into my new recovery. i wiped, and then clicked "install'. now, the recovery did in fact detect the rom and gapps zips. flashed, and rebooted system.

so i think i am good to go. not sure why twrp was not recognizing zips and cwm was. again, thanks. knowing there was a special twrp for kk got me going on the right track.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gysper:
Yeah it happened to me once, I just downloaded an app called "Flashify" and used it to flash the KK TWRP.

Afterwards, reboot into the recovery and it will recognize .zip files.

Ok lets talk about the Display here, so far we know

+No Shatter Film

+IPS Display

+Better Viewing Angles

+Live colour Led

A compare against iphone and htc one would be nice, also how reflective is the screen ?

what what what !!!??......you telling that they removed shatter film from the screen ???:angel:
[Xperia Z2 General] hamad138:
yes they did :laugh::good:
[Xperia Z2 General] avetny:
I can't believe it
[Xperia Z2 General] shaneel1491:
Will it be able to withstand shock then seeing as the film has been removed?

Might be extremely fragile?
[Xperia Z2 General] josephnero:
If its JDI then it must be using ltps which means lower battery consumption
[Xperia Z2 General] teck_keeda:
They also introduced a new feature named live led.

Can anybody knows what that feature is all about?
[Xperia Z2 General] MouseX:
What about lottery?
[Xperia Z2 General] josephnero:
its a backlight technology previously used in their W9 TV.vertical long blue LED backlights and custom filters provide vivid colors.Green,red and blue are particulary better.i have pic somewhere in my PC about backlit but i can't seem to find it

So are the colour are customizable in z2?
[Xperia Z2 General] josephnero:
No.there is White balance app but Screen is caliberated by Sony themselves.their developer blog is claiming they are using a very hardly tweaked algoritim used in advanced displays to achieve wide color gamut. which tests proved them right:good:
[Xperia Z2 General] BoneXDA:
It's a huge improvement over the old variants of TFT, colors are not degrading with angles. However there's considerable amount of brightness loss, more so than on your regular IPS / AMOLED viewing angles.

A question for who know the answer...

There are different manufacters who make Sony displays. Is there one who is directly made by Sony, or Sony dont manufacter displays?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] josephnero:
Its made by JDI a partnership between Sony,Toshiba,Hitachi and japan gov
[Xperia Z2 General] tfouto:
So those are better then Sharp displays, at least in theory?
[Xperia Z2 General] nikola1970:
Yes, they are better.

Alot better.here is a link for more info but you need google translation

[Xperia Z2 General] tfouto:
So how can we assure we get an JDI display, and not a sharp one? It's not fair some people get Sharp, other JDI... How do we even know if Sharp display also have triluminos technology or just regular white led tech?

Also i am bit worried:

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/d6503/whitepaper_EN_D6502_D6503_D6543_1.pdf

Main screen

Colours 16,777,216 colour TFT

Resolution Full HD 1920x1080 pixels

Size (diagonal) 5.2 inches

Is it possible that some people are getting the TFT version and not IPS?
[Xperia Z2 General] Why So Serious?:
All mobile displays are TFT screens, including those that use IPS technology.

Therefore everybody will get a TFT display with IPS technology :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
Image & quote taken from the Sony Xperia Z2 UK pre-order webpage and its the same on all Sony Eu sites ;)

"Always the best view

Thanks to the IPS technology provides the Xperia Z2 a better viewing angle. In this way you will achieve always a sharp picture and accurate colors from which angle you look at your device also."

Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Lenovo is already ported before, why again? (obviously another dev's question) :p :D

Answer: Lenovo S920 was ported only Twice till date. Once by Vijay4b7 (camera not working)

and now by me with F.L.A.W..L.E.S.S. camera and bugless super camera preinstalled :D :D

2) Where can I find "USB Debugging Mode" option? I don't see "Developers Options"?

Answer: Go into Setting> All Settings> About phone> Version infos> Keep tapping 7 to 9 times on "Build Number". And come back. Now you will see Developers Options in "All Settings" where you can enable open "USB Debugging".

No, it is not. This rom is built from scratch on Stock of S920, ROW version S121 released by Lenovo in January and then ported to CHD. Read OP. Stop doubting other people and let them work peacefully for the XDA community.

Giant Boulder Of Death(GBOD) Motion Problem

Hi.. I tried Playing Giant Boulder Of Death Game.. But i am unable to use motion control.. :( is der any way that it can be fixed?? (I tried this game in superluminaldad and this rom but motion didnt work)
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Thats great, it worked perfect for you. Now you are on 1.0c

By motion control, do you mean gyrosensor? If yes, it works as basic feature of all phones. Like all racing games run on gyro-sensors. If by motion control you mean gesture control (hand in air control based on proximity sensor) then both roms do not have that feature in-built. You may need to install some good gesture control app like "WAVE CONTROL PRO" and then use any games based on Gesture control feature.
[Micromax A116] pradeepjoshua:
Does burst mode and all other options work in the supercamera app in this rom?
[Micromax A116] mucski:
What tweaks for games have you applied?

Because the only tweak I needed so far is to remove the "debug.sf.hw=1" from your build.prop's.

Let me explain this more clearly for everyone to understand. The above... what it does is renders your UI with GPU. Now when you play games the GPU is still rendering the UI while strugling with your game too.You may also want to know that Micromax's GPU is single core, so it can't deal with that much stuff. It's not a coincidence why it isn't included in your stock Rom. It may save batterly life, but it also hogs 50% FPS if you play HD games. This happens mostly in custom roms such as this with a graphically enhanced Launcher. (Miui Launcher, Xperia Launcher, Lenovo Launcher).

By the way disabling it won't make your battery drain, the difference is un-noticeable.

Further more [MENTION=4448971]cmahendra[/MENTION] you need to increase the volume too. I can't hear anything with my non stock earphones. Well I can but it's really really low.

Other than these its smooth and works quite well. Thank you.
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
All features in Lenovo stock camera works perfect. Lenovo SNAPit camera have loads of features and some deeper options may not be working including Burst mode, not tested by me. Its uninstallable, so in case of problem, you can un-install it and try re-installing new version from original thread.

Your explaination about "debug.sf.hw=1" is ok. We use it to render UI via GPU but if due to less FPS any game is lagging you can experiment with it by removing the line with any build.prop editor and share your results. It simply works fine and I do not have any plan to remove it.

For gaming few ram-optimization and system tweaking scripts are added in init.d. You are free to experiment with them too.

More than 10 users confirmed me that after this update, MODERN COMBAT4 and VECTOR are working great without lags.

And like all "hair-growing oil companies" I say "results may vary". Its possible that you may not be getting good results due to various reasons, but we really don't guarantee anything here.

Yes, sound is comparatively low than other roms and I will try to fix it soon. No ETA. If you can wait with patience, an update will follow asap to me. :good: Goodluck.
[Micromax A116] mucski:
I did already, and here's the result : Gta San Andreas ... with debug.sf.hw=1 on it's unplayable (around 5fps), without it, smooth 45-50 fps. This also only happens if I use the above mentioned launchers. Hence I am not willing to give up the default launcher that came with lenovo just for the FPS so just by removing that line fixed everything (actually just added a # before it which coments it out).

And I believe I can increase the volume too with Engineering mode (didn't try yet), but it should have highest volume the default as users who don't like ear breaking volumes can just turn it off with the hardware buttons, while ones like me who like to watch movies and listen to the music loud, can't do anything about it (unless you know how to use engineering mode, but not everyone knows that)
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
+1 Thanks for your observation and suggestions. Like I told already, results of various games may vary with different settings. Keep it up.

No dev can make perfect rom for all games to work at the same time. :o Still your info will be helpful to many gamers. I will ask all hard-core gamers here to try this setting if they want to play "Gta San Andreas". Otherwise it is perfect to keep the current settings for all other games.

As far as sound is concerned, the volume is not as bad as you may be experiencing. But still something can be done and will be. No ETA.

EDIT: Meanwhile you can disable the "Pocket Mode" option in Settings >> Character Setting to increase the Ringtone volume little bit.

Yes I mean the gyro sensors.. It doesn't work only with that game.. I am able to play real racing and other gyro sensored games well.. Please try it and see if you could fix it..
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
This is very strange. If you can use gyrosensors for rest of the racing games, etc that means the the hardware drivers are there and functioning well. There must be some specific settings in the game you may be missing which I think only you can find out on your own.
