I had the Zagg full body wrap on mine when I first got my G2 (Verizon), mainly because no cases were available yet. In about the 3 months time it was on, I had it replaced twice due to the back peeling. Once it starts peeling around the corners, dirt gets in there, and it makes your phone look like crap. Eventually, I picked up the Incipio Feather and DualPro cases. Neither case fit properly with the rear Zagg on, so I removed it. The front lasted another month or so, before I eventually removed that one as well.

Getting them replaced is a joke. There are normally kids working at the mall kiosks who are little to no help. I had to inquire several times and they never had them in stock. They'd take my number down on a piece of paper and tell me they'd call when they came in the following week, but I never heard from them.

I just get the 6 pack dry installers from Amazon. Cheap and so far they last. It feels like glass so I like it. If you really wanna try wet installs like ZAGG, try this: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/117...ard-coupon-for-screen-or-full-body-protectors

I just ordered 3 fronts and a back protector for $2.50.... Can't go wrong with that price. Just make sure to use the 90% off code.

I had the full coverage version on my S3 and had no issues with it in a UAG case. I did have to get the front replaced with a "case friendly" version under warranty when the case started peeling the edges off. I never had a problem with the back piece even with 3 different cases. Just pay the $4 shipping fee. When I had to get my phone replaced, I got another set for $4 under warranty.Once it's on for a day or so, it's on there.

It's the only screen protector I would buy now.

You have to register online and replacements are easy to get and they ship fairly quick. When you order a replacement under warranty, you can get a different version equal to what you have (or lower). You just have to send them the old one back. I didn't go with the full body version for my G2.

Hi everyone,

I am using the ViperX+ 2.0.3 rom on my x+ (and would have posted in the relevant topic, but it seems I'm not nice enough); I would like to know if it is possible to change the app drawer grid to 3x3 (as it was in stock) and, most importantly, to have the apps ordered alphabetically (instead of randomly). Does anyone have advice? Thanks in advance.

Hi, so after flashing ROM after ROM for months now, my internal storage space has gone down a lot. Out of 16GB, I only have three usable gigs after flashing a fresh ROM. View attachment 2665036 Does this look normal?

Regardless, I just want to find a way in CWM to wipe my internal storage clean, flash a new ROM from my extsd card, and start fresh with some more gigabytes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecsironman:
No sir you cannot. At this point in time there is no way to flash back unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagadeepan:
Sorry my friend (OP), root is NOT at all possible now. The method to get BL UL code is also closed now. So you need to wait for root procedure from jcase @ August 2014 (unless you have bought Dev edition). But that root procedure is also NOT persistent one (will loose root access on restarting phone) and limited access to system and so NOT as useful as earlier, I think...

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blink8533:
Right

Since i got my code I don't see a step by step. Thats really what i'm looking for.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
To unlock the command is fastboot oem unlock <your code>

To get root you need to flash twrp: fastboot flash recovery <twrp file> once that is done boot into recovery from the fastboot menu, in recovery he reboot, reboot system. It will ask if you want to install root, Swype to install. Your phone will reboot and you'll be rooted.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sp4ubw:
The same as stock + root.

Flash ?? So i need recovery in my SP with .206 ???
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
It is a pre-requisite that customised or cooked roms need root & recovery to install...
[Xperia SP Android Development] cidane:
Im still using Stock rom .245(4.1) rooted with CWM. Do i still need to install .254(4.1) and .266(4.3) before flashing this rom and kernel? thanks in advance
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] ahmedhappy312:
so to correct my understanding

ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
Exactly what are the changes in this FW :)

I mean geez Sony only put -_- battery improvements, software enhancements and are really very generic changes

thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] noonereallycares:
Did you really expect them to say "Basically the same ROM without all the stuff ups we forgot to fix prior to releasing it"?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Revontheus:
No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general
[Xperia SP Android Development] cidane:
so do I still need to update to .254? im still .245 firmware
[Xperia SP Android Development] ahmedhappy312:
Can anybody answer my question plz
[Xperia SP Android Development] sp4ubw:
Yes it is. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Daniel D.:
Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Lark987:

I did a quick comparison between my installed version and the one from you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2BjC2gRHSTnR2FES1pULXFCd1E/edit?usp=sharing. Some things are - of course - negligible, whereas most of the files in the folders /etc/firmware, /fonts and /lib have symlinks to other files.
[Xperia SP Android Development] McRIP:
Yes i have the same problem, don't recognize sim card and no Wifi :confused:

I just perform hard reset but still same problem.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
This ROM works just fine. I am on Locked BL.

What i did was:

1. Flash 254, rooted it...CWM

2. Flashed this ROM zip, nothing else.

3. Powered off.

4. Flashed 201 kernel only FTF.

5. Reboot.

Everything works fine as it should.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
I did this (no wipe, from 254, using philz): no root, no recoveries. Tried to install SU (apk) -after install, SU says no binaries

:crying:

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Didn't see your query.

The reason for the .254 or .257 is so that we can have recovery in the device - without this recovery you can't flash the zip file provided in the OP.

If your .254 is already rooted and with a recovery, use the recovery to install the zip file.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Install this rom and flash super user as well. Recovery can be installed manually later on
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Thanks - so SU (zip file) needs to be flashed as well.

anyway, I managed to get hold of dipesh's pre-rooted .201 and it is now running in my device.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Daniel D.:
Sorry for this question, but I don't find the zip file with SuperSU in the OP. Do I've to search the board for another one or can I just install SuperSU from the PlayStore?

[Xperia SP Android Development] freeZbies:

OK so Ive installed SPB GPRS monitor but a little confused - I presumed that if you received (for example) 30 emails at 2kb each then your traffic would be 60kb for that session/day etc? Hmmmm there must be something Im missing as the GPRS monitor is always showing a lot higher and also included traffic when I was connected only via my wireless router. Its definitely all set up correctly so perhaps someone could give me a little GPRS lesson? ta x

It also seems to want to increase whenever it feels like it - I turned it on to check the calendar and it increased 6kb LOL

EDIT:

even stranger - I just turned it on to check my calendar and its increased from 93kb to 97kb and I havent sent or received anything yet GPRS is connected....but that should make a difference should it?
[Networking] levenum:
I am not an expert on this but here are some basic facts for starters:

1) When checking emails or calendar or whatever, various headers and other data are sent as well so if you have 30 emails at 2Kb each your traffic will exceed 60k because the email program and the server have to talk amongst themselves to let each other know there are new emails and what to download.

2) What do you mean, check the calendar? If you are synchronizing with exchange server then even when your WiFi is connected ActiveSync tends to go for GPRS (thank you M$) and even if there are no new items to download simply checking the calendar might cost you the 6k (I am not sure, but thank M$ again for the protocol)

3) Make sure you don't have any apps in the background that are set to automatically update, like weather plug-ins. Those will connect to GPRS if WiFi isn't present when they need to update. Note that when you put the device on standby, it turns WiFi off, but keeps GPRS on.

Well, hope that shed some light on the issue for you.
[Networking] vijay555:
Please don't double post, evidently madkitty.
[Networking] madkitty:
that makes things clearer - I also hadnt realised that when I was checking for emails every 10 mins it was costing...I only thought it was when you sent or received them

think we should all get GPRS manual from the network operators :lol:

Not yet. We will have to see how out plays out the next week of so.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Depends on whether or not people can figure out a way to put a recovery on 4.4. As it stands right now, there is an issue with Loki and 4.4.

If no one can, then they are going to have to make the new 4.4 builds compatible with the 12b aboot just like roms needed patched for 12b when it first came out.
