[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsreyes1014:
Does anyone know anything about this tablet? My wife just got one and wanted to see if porting KitKat was possible on this device?

It comes with Android 4.2.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The tablet appears to be just another no-name brand tablet , the Google in the branding name is misleading as the device has nothing to do with Google (It's not at all an official Google branded product) other then it runs Android. As far as porting KitKat is concerned, it is possible but it will unforutnately be difficult without an official kernel source from the manufacture or your own knowledge of compiling AOSP KitKat or say Cyanogenmod 11 for an unsupported device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsreyes1014:
If I was able to obtain kernel source would it be possible for you or anyone to build KitKat for it? How do I obtain kernel source?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
In the case of your device you would have to contact the manufacture and ask them to provide you with the kernel source code, and even then if they did you would still have to undergo the process of extracting the files for your device and fixing any broken features that would likely arise during the KitKat building process.
[LG Optimus G Pro] XadRav:
I am considering buying a used Optimus G Pro today for $260 shipped. Are you guys happy with this phone? Or do you think I can do better for $260?
[LG Optimus G Pro] rquinn19:
I bought one a couple days ago for 240. Price isn't all that bad and it's still a. Very good phone. I had a G2 just a month or two ago. Made some trades and ended up with a Atrix HD and that thing was slooooow. So if your upgrading from something like that do it. Or you can wait a day or two and the market will be flooded with S4s and HTC Ones (M7)
[LG Optimus G Pro] XadRav:
Yeah but what are the chances you'll find one of those phones for around $250? And on Amazon nonetheless (I'm paying completely in Amazon gift cards).
[LG Optimus G Pro] rquinn19:
You might. The s5 and m8 will be in stores tomorrow.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shayneflashindaily:
I bought mine for 270 and im happy with it but im a bit of a phome whore so ill get somwthing before too ling im sure.

*KCCO*2SHAYNEZ*E980*
[LG Optimus G Pro] XadRav:
Yeah but at the same time it's the same cpu and ram, with a smaller screen... frankly the G Pro looks better IMHO.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
220 Is a fair price on eBay. I bought mine for 150 and paid 25 for a screen
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
That was a great deal optimus. I paid $250 for mine off E-bay. But in all fairness, it was also in excellent condition as apposed to the one's being sold with scratched up screens and everything else for the same price. It's an excellent phone. One hell of a powerhouse too. If you have the chance to buy one Xad go for it. You won't be disappointed.
[LG Optimus G Pro] scufutz:
Mine costed me 400€ last year on august f240k version
[LG Optimus G Pro] PsykoGeek:
I was happy enough with the operation and design of the phone to get another one used and in good shape off of e-bay. I cant afford this weeks primo phone, so getting "last years" worked out good.

Like everything though it depends on what you want.

it is large,

it does not have an amoled screen,

it has a slightly older but longer in action version of the OS as default.

it uses slimport ,

the screen is of good brightness, which also means the battery can get sucked down quick when turned all the way up.

It does not have an FM radio like some china stuff does.

the very high resolution screen means a lot of work for the GPU aspects of the phone, when playing 3d games.

It has a thermal protection routine that kicks in when out in the hot california sun with it working hard (led backlight lowers to reduce led junction temperatures.

The GPS works good.

Most of this stuff is what i wanted, cept the screen didnt need to be that high of res.
[LG Optimus G Pro] robocopvn:
bought it for 270USD, and very very happy with that for those reason:

1./ having the same hardware as the nexus 7 2013. I have both of them (almost the same hardware). So everything is working pretty the same on both devices.

2./ For 270 USD, nothing comes close with LG E980 performance. You have 32gb storage on board (+MicroSD), Hardware as the HTC One and Galaxy S4, 3140 mah Battery, and the IR blaster, and the awsome LED light button and an amazing screen

3./ XDA and CM supports it :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
This phone's only real drawback is the lack of official updates and a locked bootloader... the bootloader can still be successfully bypassed by Freegee. Other than that, it offers immense value for money as stated in previous posts. Gorgeous looks and build quality and fast...fast...fast.

Hi, when i play games that use the accelerometer the accelerometer dont woks well.

I calibrate it on Advanced Ace2 Settings.

But still dont woks well.

I use 2 roms, and the same thing.

You know what i have to do?

sorry for bad english :(

Try to describe it little more, what is wrong with it? Some new roms have problems with it, sometimes I have to calibrate it, than I have to use default settings, otherwise the screen is rotated to landscape even when it should not.

[Themer General Discussion] Teeeejay:
So on my HTC One M7, themer is able to be killed in multitasking (long press home). I have clear all button on my ROM, and it's annoying to have it killed every time I want to kill other apps. Is there any way to remove it from multitasking so this doesn't happen? My cousin said this happens on his S4 also.

Hi,

The developers are looking into removing it from the list, but it's no easy task. We'll see if we can bump this up the priority list :)

Hey guys,

Bought a used HTC One due to BT connectivity problems with my SG4.

I have a requirement to use MHL daily and need an adapter that will allow "AC" chargiing mode. I am using the same charger as I did with my SG4 that did provide enough to actually charge the phone while using MHL.

The same usb charger running through my current MHL 1,0 adapter into my HTC one, will only put the phone into "USB" charging mode. This is not adequate and will probably force me to sell the phone off.

Here's the MHL adapter I am using:

Do you guys know of a MHL adapter for our phones that will allow AC charging mode?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Feel free.

What works exactly - all I know is that aroma-config runs without reporting an error and that nativesd.sh runs properly in ubuntu.

I'll post the whole bundle patch that RobbieP has been trying, so anyone can try it an report any errors.

The bundle includes:

TWRP recovery (with f2fs enabled by kokotas)

walter79's 3.0.x-pmem-marc1706 kernel with f2fs patches added

modified updater-script and aroma config

nativesd and mountfs files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
If i choose DirectSDwith/dataonext4 or DirectSDwith/dataonF2FS, i get the screen saying "Mounting SD-EXT failed-please create an EXT4 partition (mmcblk0p2) on the SD Card first"

Also the ROM_NAME.prop wrongly says "ROM_NAME=ChauTien_CM11_V1", it should be "ROM_NAME=ChauTien-Slimroms-Build4", beware if you are testing not to overwrite that ROM if you already have it installed.

F2FS works good on our HD2 from earlier tests. The kernel doesn't seem to like my uhs1 card. Have attached a couple of androbench tests on fat32 and f2fs partitions. Also some speed tests below.

MB/s Write Read

FAT32 6.1 10.18

6.37 10.47

6.26 9.47

EXT4 2.48 9.00

2.39 10.28

2.10 9.32

F2FS 6.01 10.84

4.75 9.30

6.34 7.27

This is on an 8Gb sandisk class4 (i think, the number has worn away;))

I hope people can take a look at the scripts HypoTurtle has posted, to see any mistakes. I don't think any or all of the ziptotmps at the start of aroma-config are working since /tmp folder does not show them in recovery terminal after running aroma.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Thanks, RobbieP that pretty much sums up where we are.

Can you post the f2fs recovery that you are using (just in case I post the wrong one); also can you post the result of 'cat /tmp/mount.prop'

That's my bad with ROM_NAME, was working with CM11 and SlimKK, the wrong ROM_NAME.prop slipped in there. Other than overwritting ChauTien_CM11_V1 (if this thing actually ran), the ROM should still run fine as this ROM_NAME is called everywhere it needs to be i.e during install and with mountfs.sh scripts.

Reupping with a rom_name.prop for slimkat
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
Enormous thanks to [MENTION=659207]kokotas[/MENTION] for compiling SD version of 2.7.0.0 twrp with f2fs support. kokotas does not own a HD2 anymore, but has done this over and above the huge contributions already made for our HD2, very much appreciated:good:

I have been using this for the past couple of weeks. There are some issues with the 3.0 kernel which it uses, such as not powering off fully (need to press reset button), but we need the 3.0 kernel to use f2fs. Please post any other bugs you may find.

To make a f2fs partition, it is necessary to format the third partition to eg FAT32 first. Then using recovery's terminal emulator;

(select the / folder)

type "mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" (without the "", space before first / and it is a zero before p3)

Have attached original from kokotas, and one with 6mb zeros added to initrd.gz for magldr users, HypoTurtle tweaked the initrd.gz in the magldr version iirc.

Note that since it is a 3.0 kernel, it won't boot using HaRET. Untested on cLK.

Huge thanks again to kokotas and HypoTurtle, even though they no longer own HD2s, they are still willing to support it. RESPECT:D

Thanks also to marc1706, securecrt, walter79, gilbert32, tytung and others i might have missed.

I do hope we can get these scripts working, Devs will be able to release a rom with the nand initrd.gz and aroma will do all the rest, sounds great.:fingers-crossed:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Not sure that I did anything kernel/initrd wise for the kernel other than apply the f2fs patches and compile. (not sure if I used securecrt or walter79's git for the kernel so credits to them)

I'm actually thinking that with a little tweaking I should be able to reduce the updater-script down to just copying over the system files, which should make the whole system easily adaptable for all devices (unless I'm barking completely up the wrong tree)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
Better that than

;):D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
New procedure on #1 and #2.

Will post a new zip tomorrow with a 3.0.x kernel that can run f2fs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
looking at that code, if p3 was f2fs, then the first mount attempt would be with type ext4, which would give an "invalid argument" error (since is f2fs), it would then mount to f2fs. But the error should show up with echo $?, so status would not be =mounted.

would it be better to leave as -t auto? I know it works when installing, can't remember if it works from initrd.gz.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Was compiling a unified script (combining the nativesd stuff along with the mounter scripts etc.) and noticed that - I think that adding another

mounted=`mount | grep '/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 on /DirectData'` just before the $? check would solve it. $? is just the last issued command - I have checked and that would work fine.

I am hazarding a guess that one of the reasons things weren't working earlier was the use of auto (feel free to tell me otherwise - while in aroma installing any rom try and mount p3 as auto and see what it reports (checking with mount and df)), one of the other things I slipped up on (due to testing on linux) was that I was using #!bin/sh in places where I should have been using #sbin/sh.

Also of note I have forgotten a few -'s in the zip on #2 ; will reup with new stuff tomorrow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
In recovery i did;

mkdir /sdcard/f2fs

mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard/f2fs

i get

mount

...

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 on /sdcard/f2fs type f2fs (rw,relatime,background_gc_on,active_logs=6)

df

...

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 1k-blocks 1670144 used 182804 available 1465836 11% /sdcard/f2fs

Looking at;

The second one should be initrd.gz:), and if (NativeSD or) DirectSD install then it won't find either in boot-dir, should look in /sdcard/NativeSD folder (but it won't be nand initrd.gz since is already edited for *SD install), needs to save to same as well.

I tried the patch zip with the s-edits and swapping initrd.gz for zImage as above and including nand ramdisk in zip with directSD install, and it seems to run too quick for unpacking & repacking ramdisk. It is done almost immediately. recovery log not saved for some reason.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robbie P:
yeah i misunderstood earlier:o

i did the edits in post#1 to chautien cyanogen v2 including changing to auto

it seemed to install to f2fs p3 ok

then flashed #2 with edits from earlier. it booted ok but p3 /data did not show up.

So i put f2fs kernel in NativeSD and added 6mb to initrd.gz manually, booted but still no /data.

Will try to put f2fs kernel in #2 and also try putting nand ramdisk in there after.

Would checking the size of the kernel be a good indication of whether it is a 3.0.x kernel? afaik 3.0 ones are >3mb and 2.6.x are <3mb
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Regarding 3.0.x kernel if you see the way I tried to add the check for 3.0.x kernel which wouldn''t work as is (needs cut -d ' ' -f '1'); if the check isn't passed then the 6MB file is removed meaning that later on when initrd-done is cat'ed >> 6MB it makes a new file called 6MB rather than adding on to the end of a preexisting one (that's the theory anyway).

For now I would just remove the md5sum lines from it. For the kernel change using #2 I need to add the lines for copying the modules across (system folder in zip copied to /system).

Are you sure it booted without /data not being mounted at all with direct p3 is mounted to /DirectData and /DirectData/$ROM_NAME/data is mounted as /data. Just to check that it is the ramdisk built by the patcher that is running just check the root directory / and see if there is a mountfs-DirectSD.sh file - there should be. If there is check it and see if rOm has been changed (although if system is mounted I can't see why data's wouldn't have).

Also I noticed a few errors (using $type instead of $install and some -'s for some of the mountfs references) in the last script posted, not sure if I pulled those errors across from the zip posted on 2 will check tomorrow.

Just taking a glance at the long script posted and /boot_dir is /sdcard/NativeSD and /boot is the ROM folder which makes sense. Not sure if using /boot is better or worse as /boot isn't a folder for clk users (afaik); need a workaround for clk anyway (I think) and need to bundle in unmkbootimg stuff.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
still need something to sort: try -

-RS

-lRS

can't do "info ls" to get list
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:

Edit; i deleted the single quotes around $ups in lines 216 & 217, and those two cat errors disappeared. How do we use f2fs zImage? i was thinking we could use the one in the running f2fs recovery, if p2 or p3 are f2fs. ATM the script is using zImage from rom afaik.
