I understand that innovations are slowing down. They did do the CRAZY good display, but its still plastic, the camera is almost the same, and I though for sure they would increase the battery. The display has to sick more juice, why not compensate. Man I think they half assed this

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Did you even digest the specs fully or like the typical person just glossed over the surface and ran to XDA to create a thread?

Camera is same 13MP but has better OIS and laser auto focus. Front camera is improved with F/2.0. Yes it's plastic (don't see anything wrong with that) but better and tougher material, better feel and grip in hand.

The fact that they crammed a 3000mAh removable battery in such a thin frame is innovation itself.

"Why not compensate"..compensate with what? 4000/5000/6000mAh? A battery twice as thick? A phone twice as thick? If they did, you'd run to XDA, create a thread and complain that it's bigger, thicker, heavier, uglier, etc, than the competition.. :rolleyes:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlatinumNick:
The misconception that you and most people get is the only way to get better battery life is the physical size of the battery, but thats wrong! what about reducing how much battery the screen uses, or how the phone sips the juice from the battery, or what the phone does when the screen is off? all those things are incorporated in the G3 if you have read or seen their event. so me personally Im thinking probably same or better battery life than the g2 because of innovations.

I don't know where it was. ... But they mentioned that the battery was changed also ... They removed metal from the battery and replaced with Graphite and the announcer stated it improved battery life by doing so ....

The way I see it, my daughter's iPhone got cracked all over from a simple drop, my htc one with kickstand case got dented from being in my back pocket. I'm not overweight. So grippy metallic plastic back is more than welcome. I might pay off verizon to hop on tmobile for this bad boy of a phone.

OP I'm pretty sure you had subjective hearing during the conference. The G3 is constructed over our critisisms and responded perfectly. You really shouldn't take these things for granted. With your state of mind, you will never be happy bud.

To increase the BL, LG has utilized "adaptive frame rate, adaptive clocking, and adaptive timing control." They also replaced the metal in battery cathode with graphite.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradbutter:
t mobile will pay your termination fee of your contract if u trade in a phone get your G3 and bring your number over from verizon .... look it up its called ETF reimbursement

i switched from sprint got a $350 prepaid mastercard for my terminartion
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkimmortal:
The Graphite seems to increase the recharge cycles of the battery if I'm not mistaken aka longevity of the battery.

P.S. can't wait to see this in person
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikenvape:
honestly, the best bet is to wait it out until you see solid feedback being given before making your final judgment. I absolutely enjoyed every aspect of the G2. I'm with you in the excited/weary with a bit of anxiety state. Suppose it just comes down to patience

Thanks, I seen this, but I believe that I would lose subsidy if I allowed tmo to pay off the termination fee?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splcfiya:
Its not the same battery as the g2. yes there are software tricks enabled to lesson the drain of the 2k display, but in the end, a physically larger battery will never hurt.,,, because such software tricks can still be utilized on a larger battery.

Not that the battery life is bad, but it isn't class leading or anything. You'll see users posting about 7-8 hours of SOT on M8 and GS5 forums. On this site everyone is just trying their best to get 5-6 hours. I do think 5-6 hours is good, (I got 4 hours on my first discharge, and that included being mostly on LTE and playing around with the camera and taking videos). So i do think I should be able to achieve 5 hours of SOT under normal usage (wifi use and no camera). But its definitively not better than the G2 battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlatinumNick:
Yeah you right about that it is not going to better than the g2. But what your doing is comparing the g3s weakness to the g2s strength. Definitely not a good idea lol

I installed several kernels with system write protection disabled but every time i try to edit an xml file i cant save it i cant copy files to system its just not enabled i try to enable it through es file explorer but it says everythings already r/w i tried fixing permissions in twrp i have a kernel installed with write protection disabled but still no luck any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Need more information.. What base are you on? 1.55.605.2? Which kernel did you flash? What mod exactly are you trying to do?

checkm8 team code craft says it disables write protection http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716686

as for the base how do i check i was on the latest update when i s offed and rooted and flashed everything around may 5th i think it was the latest base but how do i check i can let you know? im just trying to edit my default.xml in system/customize/ACC/ and i cant i just wanna write to system copy files to the root of the system etc
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
Yes you can check by going into settings>aabout phone>software information>software number. If your on Cleanrom v1.1 it will be 1.55.605.2 which is the latest base. What mod are you trying to do by editing your default . XML? There are a lot of things you can tweak in there.

Also, Cleanrom v1.1 has system r/w enabled by default. So you didn't need to flash that kernel to have it.

"Pre Rooted with SuperSU and Busybox pre-installed

Writeable /system partition

Unsecured kernel with ADB remount capabilities"

My advice would be to re-flash the rom, or restore a nandroid backup to get the roms stock kernel back. You could just dirty flash the rom and only wipe cache and davlik. You should be fine.

But once again, what mod are you trying to do in your default.xml? It may be I can help you sort it out, or at least tell you why it's not working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] power950:
i would just like to write to system for future purposes for the mean time i used adb to pull the default xml then i modified the file on my pc to enable harman kardon and music channel then went to recovery mounted system and pushed it back its just a pain seeing i can't write to system when i want to yes it says 1.55.605.2 so i should be able to write to system and you suggest a fresh install? or should i just pull the kernel image out of the rom zip and flash through fastboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shortstuff_mt:
CleanROM has this capability without any 3rd party kernels or other modifications. I use ES File Explorer on a clean install of CleanROM 1.1 to write to the /system partition. You do need to enable R/W permission in the ES File Explorer app by clicking the upper left icon, going to Tools, enabling the toggle for Root Explorer, clicking on the words Root Explorer, clicking on Mount R/W, and enabling RW permission on whatever directory you want to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] power950:
was trying to avoid i clean install but i'll give it a go i did enable r/w with es file explorer and made sure all the bubbles were checked with still no luck ill do a fresh install without flashing any other files but clean rom and see what happens i'll let you guys know after i do it thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] power950:
okay so I did a fresh install i factory reset x3 wiped data i know this wasn't necessary but i typed yes and wiped data x3 i went into advanced wipe and and checked every box except usb otg after backing up sd cards and then swiped to format x3 i then powered off the phone ejected my sd card put clean rom 1.1 on it and flashed it with no other files rebooted my phone went through the setup installed es file explorer enebled root access clicked on root access clicked on mount r/w and made sure everything was bubbled in on the right side mount r/w and i still cannot right to system :( im ready to give up
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Why not make a copy of the files you want to edit... fix them up how you like.. then copy them back into place using file explorer function of TWRP (make sure you mount system).... OR put them in a flashable zip template and flash them. The changes will stick. You are likely trying to change files in use.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] power950:

oh lol your'e right i just copied a file over from my sd to the system to test it wow I should of known that thanks so much this issue is solved I'm disappointed in myself gotta give myself 10 minutes time out now thanks tho

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freeridindirtbiker:
Try out Ktoonsez kernel. It seems to be the go-to kernel for TW and AOSP ROMs on our S3s.

For governor; Ive had great success with OnDemand as well as Interactive. Good luck! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In the end, this is going to be much like the "whats the best rom" questions. Just like the roms, there is a ton of information about the most popular kernels that you will have to read in order to make an informed choice. Everyone has different needs/desires so just like roms, whats best for me or many other people may be opposite from what would be best for you. No one but you knows your usage patterns to base a decision on.

Regarding kernels and their governors, and other options, there is a lot to read and learn, which I do understand can be a bit intimidating. But if you really are after the best choice for your needs the only way to figure it out is to read, read, read. If you just follow what a few others recommend, theres a good chance you wont be getting what is best for you.

So in short, read each of the top kernels OP's, read up on the different governors, and pick one to test if it works as you expect. Try out several configurations to know for sure what you like the most.

If you have specific questions, by all means ask away! In fact, theres a thread in this subforum dedicated to ktoonsez' kernels, and even if you dont choose to use one, it could be a great place to search for more info. Just remember, other peoples opinions can give you a good place to start from, but will usually not be an ideal way to decide where you should end up.

I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but imo, there is just no way to adequately give one. For every kernel/rom combo, there will be some who rave about it and some who warn against it! Only one way to know which it will be for you!

SSL! I do wish you good luck though! And fun!

:cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Doc is 100% right. That's like asking what the best breed of dog is.

[Xposed General] Dancing:
Incompetence has indeed been displayed. Issue was unrelated to Xposted: Twilight overlay (screen filter for eye strain at night) was conflicting with apk installer.

-----

Disclaimer: I am new here and may display incompetence.

Since updating to version 2.6.1 today, I have been unable to install modules (or re-install the old framework). Downloading works fine, unknown sources is enabled, but upon tapping install I am unable to proceed past the permissions list page; tapping "Install" in the bottom right does nothing. The cancel button works fine.

Disabling all modules and rebooting did not solve the problem. Might this be related to the "UI Improvements" in 2.6.1? Is it some other issue?

If it is a UI issue, what would be the best course of action here other than a backup restore (seems like overkill) seeing as I am unable to tap install to downgrade to 2.6?

[Acer Iconia A500] eldarion27:
Okay, I was given this Bricked Acer 500 with the information that it was bricked "while rooting it". That's all of the original history I had.

It boots to the Acer logo, and no further.

When I first got it, I attempted to use the SD Card / update.zip technique to unbrick it. The first time, it got about 20% through, then stopped progressing, frozen for several hours. Retrying, it would go the the Dead Android without even loading the progress bar.

I was able to retrieve the CUID via Linux.

Attempting PBJ20upgrade (or DotNetDetector directly) from the root-3.2.1 package resulted in freezing at about 10% or so. Blackthund3r's APXFlash (packages 1 and 16) failed as well - it would set it into the state where APX Downloader was displayed at the upper right, then the next nvflash window would open and just sit there while "uploading" with no progress (even overnight).

Going back to the linux box (as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579490), I attempted to manually nvflash, as per the following:

./nvflash --bct flash.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --create --odmdata 0xb00d8011 --bl bootloader.bin --sbk 0x2CA41E00 0xD489E106 0x3BC00504 0xD8292103 --go

It ran, but failed with the following information:

So far, the only post I've seen addressing this suggested the novel approach of baking the tablet at 200 degrees for 20 minutes!

Any better plans than baking the tablet would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] eldarion27:
Baked!

Given the dearth of alternative recommendations, and the lack of anything to loose, I went ahead and baked it last night. Due to some futzing around, and fat-fingering Linux commands, it was several minutes before I got the flash started... the flash got through the BCT formatting, but failed when installing into the BCT a couple of minutes later (by which time the device had noticeably cooled).

I re-baked it tonight, got the flash running considerably quicker afterwards, and it successfully completed and launched into Android. How long that'll last I can't say, but for now I'm going to let it cool and see what comes of it.

If anyone's desperate enough to try this themselves... 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Pre-heating is advised, so that you don't overshoot-then-cool. I baked it in the case, screen down, on something that would stay flat and not get too hot itself (I used a wooden cutting board). There are threads talking about higher temps and shorter times, but you'd have to remove the mobo and only bake that piece, or the heat would destroy several other components.

Explore the ROM a bit before posting here things like " WHERE IS <feature> CAN YOU ADD FEATURE etc. etc.

You have to understand, that gets extremely annoying after 50 posts like that. Most features can be seen on the blog or in the MERGED section of gerrit.

Using 052814 unified build with 052414 full modular gapps...ROM boots but gets stuck at the "setup wizard". After you select your language and press the white triangle it reads " Welcome...please wait a few minutes" for a minute or so...the the screen goes black except for the status bar and the backlights on the hardware keys stay on.

I clean flashed twice then downloaded the ROM and gapps for a 2nd time then clean flashed those twice...all with the same results as described above.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] rabiny:
Hello,

I know one can flash the 9505 rom on the i337m becuse the bootloader is not locked, but what about the AT&T version (i337), can i flash this (jflte) version on my i337 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Gandalf:
Yes. If you notice, I closed the individual variant threads and put a direct link to this thread. Basically, you can see a list of supported variants by checking this:

https://github.com/omnirom/android_device_samsung_jflte/blob/android-4.4/BoardConfig.mk#L129

That is the list of device asserts that the updater-script will accept.

I just flashed the 05/28 nightly (on my jfltespr) with the 4-16 Minimal PA Gapps with absolutely no errors. This most definitely sounds like a Gapps problem to me, since the SetupWizard is not packaged or built with the ROM, but instead flashed with Gapps. This is why if you were to NOT flash a Gapps package, you don't have to run through it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] rabiny:
Thank you for the quick reply,

What about the locked bootloader, Are there any points I should pay attention to ?

Or i can just download the recent file (from http://dl.omnirom.org/jflte/) and flash it over my current version (jflteatt)
