I think this is a known issue where some people reported bad audio quality on headphone after KitKat update. That was for EUR version of the rom. Maybe now, it's a prevalent issue with most KK rom for LG

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 General] albsat:
Does this version has lte?
[G2 General] darkteb:
Anyone know if KK is coming to International HK D802 or should i try one of the other KK variant?
[Galaxy S 5 General] willblake13:
I wonder how long it will take XDA's best minds to unlock this bootloader. Seems like Samsung phones are getting harder and harder to exploit.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
This isn't entirely true. Samsung phones have mostly had unlocked bootloaders unless you get a carrier version. They are still relatively easy to root and play around with. The only thing they are doing is adding security through Knox and that makes it difficult or even impossible to avoid flagging that the system has been tampered with. It doesn't stop playing with the bootloader or system, it just tells them that you have done something and that in turn voids warranty in many cases.

Most HTC, Sony and LG phones have locked bootloaders but the companies provide tools and instructions to unlock them. Only carrier-locked bootloaders are notoriously difficult to unlock.

I think you are mixing up the ability to unlock or play with the system with security features that flag and tell the company that you have messed with the phone. They are two different things.

It is becoming more and more difficult to return to a state that shows no evidence of tampering so warranty concerns are becoming more widespread. It doesn't mean that we can't play with our phones. It just means that after doing so the phone is our responsibility - sometimes even if there is a defect that isn't our fault.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jmill75:
His post was it will probably take a long time to unlock the bootloader, not sure what your LONG response has to do with that but anyway.

Yes, OP you are correct. Heck even the Note 3 for VZW is pretty limited ROM wise even after being out for months now. The good news these days that at least it is running a current build (4.4) so atleast we aren't behind in that regard. Problem is if we want to run CM we need there kernel to make it fly. Hopefully someone will break this thing soon!
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
His post makes sense, there's a world outside the US.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jmill75:
OP lives in Washington...soooooo thats the US buddy. Whats your point?
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
My point is that post #2 makes sense. It isn't Samsung that makes things harder for you guys, it's the carriers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Gray.Fox:
:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Its a lot with the carriers but also Samsung has to have their phones secure also for govt official use hence Knox, plus region lock...
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Knox =/= locked bootloader, region lock goes away with a 5 min call.

Ran a software update check this morning on my Rogers Note3, after my friend mentioned he got KitKat on his Bell S4 on the weekend. Sure enough, 400+MB update was available.

Servers were slow (both my home Wi-Fi and LTE were getting the same speed. Took about an hour to download). Install went smoothly and only took 2-3 minutes. And KitKat it is.

I'm using Nova Launcher, so the only immediately visible change is that all the icons in the status bar are plain white. Otherwise, I perused through the system settings and didn't see much that was different beyond the addition of a "Printing" option under Connections > More networks, and the odd change here and there. However, things do feel smoother and basic stuff like unlocking the device has no lag at all.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] p1rate7:
Just a quick note, also available for Telus this morning...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Canadoc:
Am wondering. I am rooted with knox 0x0 on 4.4.2 using the mexican telcel rom form a cpl months back and the old modem from 4.3 mj4.

I want to get latest KK from Rogers while maintaining root. SO I cant do an update this way. Is there a way to flash just the modem and sytem files form this update ot get me to latest version of things without wiping all my data?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tylercarter:
I'm just wondering. Why is it because Bell and Rogers note 3 gets KitKat that at&t note 3 gets KitKat? Not trying to be a smartass or anything but does one of them own the other or something?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] saltorio:
I'm not really sure what you mean?

Bell, Rogers and Telus all use the same versions of most phones as what AT&T in the U.S. offer, as their networks share the same spectrum ranges. So when the manufacturer of a phone (Samsung) releases an OS update for an AT&T model phone, all four companies then have access to that and can tweak that update and release it to their customers when they wish. Typically (though not always) that means that all of the companies release updates to their customers around roughly the same time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tylercarter:
You answered my question perfectly. Thanks! :) Hope to see KitKat on my note 3 soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
the way things are going cricket wireless will have kitkat for the note 3 before at&t and they probably don't even have the note 3 in their line up. you know its bad when sprint gets the update before us.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tylercarter:
Yeah I wonder what the holdup is.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
I talked to my source and he said that AT&T already has the update but they are currently in the process of figuring out the maximum amount of bloatware they could add before phone stops booting.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
NICE! !!! ? lmao
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zinupe14:
I upgraded to urdroid rom ... just to minimize the trolling banter just wanted all to know it works great for me. Not many visible differences but the feel is all you need to tell.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tylercarter:
LOL :laugh: :highfive: It would be nice to have someone on the inside leaking info like that for us.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
I just wonder if they actually believe people use all or any of their bloatware. if their products were in a store it would be already marked down and discontinued.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kwhit:
I unrooted my Rogers Note 3 with Kingo and managed to download the update file on my device. Once I began the install it failed and rebooted. Any ideas?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
Wait! Your telling me there are different apps out there that are not from at&t? Every aspect of the phone can be used by an AT&T app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kwhit:
Fixed! Used Kies and update worked. Anyone try Kingo to now root 4.4.2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZOOPidy:
Lol. I got a kick out of that. Sounds a lot like something AT&T would do.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] dje20:
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone of you have ever tried lagfix(fstrim) on our core, it promises great speed improvement, but have the risk of hard bricking your phone, there was also this app from chainfire to detect if your phone has the possibility to be bricked but since our core is still somewhat new in the market, it wasn't able to detect if our phone is compatible or not. So if anyone has ever tried it. Please do tell and give me some info if it really improves our phone, thanks!

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] gsmyth:
Could you possibly include a separate zip of the removed bloat so we can add anything we might want back?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:

ok, OP is updated with link to removed apps....

Question if anybody knows....

after flashing this there still are few annoying apps: Zinio, Trip Advisor, Cloud, Contacts. My Web, Ebay and Secure....

i have no idea where are they coming from, i can not identify them in /System/app folder to kill them

i mean you can uninstall them once booted, but i wold like to remove them from zip, so rom don't even boot with them :P

does anybody have an idea
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] zurg95:
You should empty the preloaded directory that may exist before flashing the new rom, those apps should come from it.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
well i dont find preloaded folder, but i removed preloadinstaller.apk from system/app and now after flashing those annoying aps ar not installed at first run, thanx mate,

stil it is mystery where are install files that preloader installs...
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
For all of u that wannabe stylish, Ronin's S5 theme works with this ROM, only I had to flash it with cwm, if I flash it with twrp its not aplyed...

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] bothered:
nice many thanks, oh any way to change the csc - btu or do we need to wait?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
hi, you tried to flash? and does not work or? because, it is also not mine csc, but it worked on mine phone

rom is for new zeland, and it works for me in croatia...
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] ironjon:
Thanks mate!

I was looking for something similar, stock without tons of bloatware

Give a shot this aftermoon :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] bothered:
All working fine, just wanted to keep my region csc for completeness, but all working, and I used the s5 theme from your link

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] oldslowdiver:
Man, I "succesfully" flashed via cmw your ROM (after a proper clean install), but now it goes in bootloop, just the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini GT-l8190 start page, then black, over and over.. no way to enter the cmw with the combo buttons (as it used to work); it only works the download mode, but I can't use Odin right now.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
Weird, can u reboot to recovery?

If so try again.

If not u need odin, and flash stock image.

I can't tell, I did not flash this with cwm, but with twrp, so maybe u can try with twrp?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] oldslowdiver:
Blame on me.. this was supposed to work on i8190N.. I do not have the N one.. maybe that's why.

ps. thanks for your prompt reply

OpenVPN broken

OpenVPN used to work on the stock firmware, but is now broken. If I try to use it I see this message:

Is this really a "known bug", or is it just a poorly worded message which means "I need some files but they're missing"? OpenVPN used to work on 4.1.2, after all.

In the list of files removed I see both EdmVpnServices.apk and VpnDialogs.apk - are they relevant? The first one announces itself as "Enterprise VPN Services", but any attempts to install it result in "X Application not installed" without an explanation. The second one just triggers the following message and does not offer an option to install it:

I don't mind going back to the stock firmware if I have to, but I'd prefer to use one with the bloat stripped out as much as is practical.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

This post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49276066&postcount=396 - suggests copying those two APKs I noticed, plus two others, into /system/app and then rebooting the phone. I did so, but OpenVPN still throws up the "known bug" error.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
That seems as good suggestion, only you have to edit permissions also:

r,w,-,

r,-,-,

r,-,-,

Then it should work

Another possibility:

Take missing apps, and add them to flashable zip, into /system/app

And than flash whole package

If this rom only works with /N version, as another user softbricked his/her phone thread should strictly warn for this.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mattiawhite:
what are you talking about kid,

read again OP,

read again Thread Name: i8190NXXANB1 Rooted | Deodexed | Zipaligned | Debloated

you see part that is Bolded i8190N

who bricked what? ?? you? your friend? you need help or what becouse your post is more than unclear!

if you or your friend are stucked somewhere, just flash original stock from ODIN, and please do download non N stock if u have non N device....

if you are just making some random posting, please dont do that
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] deweee:
First, I am not a kid. Get yourself together or prepare for a warning.

Secondly, no, since I luckily saw the thread name before downloading it and didn't download this rom.

Thirdly, go see the second page. A guy softbricked his phone.

Lastly and finally, thread names, build numbers etc are pretty easy to be misread because of the complexity. Every sensible person writes in their posts, exculisively to warn people that their ROM is a certain device only.

Oh you are referring on a guy that said loud and clear: "blame on me"?

I hope you repaired...?

You do have N version of phone?

[General Questions and Answers] Stefanos infinity:
Hi all. i have a Xperia Arc with {4.1.2} RacingBean/Cigar Galaxy (3.1-10) and Fusion 5.5 Kernel.

As it is known, the arc has 380MB of space for apps and this creates a very stressed environment for Android.

Anyway, a few days back it stated to reboot, stuck freeze, etc. so i thought to re-install the Racing Bean to freshens it up. So i took a backup with CWM and started to install the Rom again.

But i made an idiotic mistake and clicked on the "partition sd card" option and of course this deleted my SD card and the back-up with it.

I tried to do a scan on the sd card with varius software programs and although i manage to fine many of my mp3's and photos, i did not manage to recover the .img file.

:(

But fortunately, i have an older back up in my hard drive on my laptop.

Now the problem.

I install the the Racing Bean, no problem

I then install the patch, no problem. The phone boots (in an empty state of course)

I then try to install the back up, and after it finishes, it stucks on the Fusion logo and loops there.

ANY ideas please!

I have all of my personal data in there (calendars, expenses, etc, etc)

Thank you in advance!
[HTC One X+] masterofavenger:
Hi everyone,

i've got a HTC One X+ and wanted to install CM 11.

Everything was fine while flashing.

After last reboot i left my phone on my desk and was still booting.

I think there was a bootloop so my phone went out of battery.

Okay, so I plugged it on a charger and the red led is blinking 3 times, then nothing happen.

After this 3 times of blinking there is no response of the phone.

No reset (power and volume) or tipps from searches (hold down power up + down 2 minutes,...) are working.

The phone doesn't make any things, no more singns are given in anyway.

Is the phone destroyed? Or is there something I can do?
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
Its charging. 3 flashes mean its too low to boot
[HTC One X+] masterofavenger:
gialnor measure

It's charging for many hours but no other reaction... :(

What to do?

Everytime I connect the power to the phone it's only reaction is flashing the led 3 times and then nothing else... :(
[HTC One X+] masterofavenger:
Okay, now the phone was charging the whole day and night. No reaction.

Can it be the battery is dead?
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
Try to press the power button right after you start charging (when the led blinks 3 times). You can also try to hold the power button for several seconds. The buttons should start to blink. Have you tried to connect your phone to your computer?
[HTC One X+] masterofavenger:
I tried to connect the phone with the pc but there is no device found. The only reaction is the blinking of the led for a short time.

Pressing the power button and plug in power -> no reaction

Plug in and press power button -> no reaction

Holding power button then plug in power -> no reaction

Plug in power and hold power button -> no reaction
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
And after those 3 blinks, the red light turns off?

I'm not an expert, but if there is nothing you can do then I doubt if there is any other solution than repairing it by a special service. But those 3 led blinks means still hope...
[HTC One X+] masterofavenger:
After blinking 3 times there is no lights coming on and nothing else.

I think I will send it to repair...

Thanks for all help

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
Well, my contract's up in a few days and my Mako is already earmarked for a new home (a friend who had her S4 stolen only a couple of weeks after getting it and is currently stuck using an HTC Desire running stock 2.2) and that means it's decision time (again.)

I'm fairly settled on a G2 (hence my post here) but I just wanted to see if anybody has any specific advice for/against. It seems like a bad time to be buying a new phone, with a round of new releases having just come up. However, I have zero interest in the S5 (I hate Samsung, although mainly for inflicting Exynos and its buggy drivers/kernels on the world, plus I ideally want a camera with OIS) and I'm very dubious of the Z2, knowing several people with badly scratched/broken Xperia Zs, and the G3 isn't due for a few months yet...

So between the Nexus 5 and the G2, I can't really see any downside in going for the latter. As much as I love my Nexus 4, and I prefer the design of the Nexus 5 to the G2, the effective cost to me is the same so I may as well have the bigger battery and better camera? I might lose fancy LG camera features by running AOSP/CM on it, but I'd be no better off with an N5 in that regard, anyway?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
The new HTC one may be worth considering too.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
It's a possibility. I have been very fond of HTC devices in the past, so I'll forgive them for the POS that was the One X. However, I wouldn't buy one until I knew that S-Off was a certainty after that experience (although that appears to be a given on Qualcomm devices.) From what I've seen so far, the M8 is going to be another phone with a large physical outline, a huge bezel and a small-ish screen. For that reason, the current One really never appealed to me, especially when you put one alongside the G2 and realise it's almost the same size but with a notably smaller screen...
