[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpl183:
i tried Cyanogenmod 11 nightly, , CM11 Linaro and SlimKat 4.4, and everywhere i have the same problem, only the front camera works. in stock roms like LRS, everything is fine, as expected. i tried different camera apps, but the problem remains the same, the camera doesn't work, only the front camera does. there isn't even a button in the camera app to switch between back and front camera, as if i only have one.

is there a fix or a workaround for this? not having a camera is a dealbraker for me, but i really don't want to stay stock. i flashed multiple times, used different gapps versions, did factory resets and reboots, nothing seems to help, the stock version was 4.4.2 v50020. anyone else experiencing such problems?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_ernesto:
read in one SlimKat thread that using the Google Camera from play store would work with all the custom roms, since it uses a different API than other apps.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpl183:
For me neither. Also in the latest builds where infected said the back camera should be fixed, it doesn't work for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azpik:
The problem with camera is present on not only custom roms. It exists on official v50010a firmwares after downgrade. Possibly it's driver\kernel problem, which is caused distinction in camera's modules. Maybe new revisions of the G Pad use some other modules, than older ones.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effraie:
Any directions to fix it ?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azpik:
IMHO, they need to get out driver for camera from official 20a. But how it function with kernel, this is the big question that must be solved.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azpik:
There is no drivers for Intel Corporation Camera Sensor OV5693 in Cyan kernel. Exactly this module is installed in the problem devices, instead Samsung S5K4E5YX15-FGX2. Until Cyan Crew or someone else will add this device driver in the kernel source, the camera on our pads won't work. Good news, there is official sources from LGE. So it will be not big problem, and it's only a matter of time.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I was on stock 4.2.2 before seven months... I rooted my G Pad (50010a) and installed TWRP recovery.... No problems with any of the cameras on every ROM i tried... Two months before now I flashed the 4.4.2 base zip in recovery ... After that i installed Mahdi Rom .. Everything was all right... Now i'm using Lollipop AOSP, the only one that we have for our device so far.. Both Cameras are working excellent ... I didn't update my device from stock LG 4.2.2 version to 4.4.2... Could the stock 4.4.2 firmware be the reason for the camera problem that many devices are facing?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
The problem is because some of the LG G Pad 8.3 devices were put together with different camera modules and the stock kernel doesn't have support for this hardware yet.

They must have been running short on cameras and decided to use an equivalent.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robsy:
Not sure if this is the right section to put this but I apologise now if its not.

I have a Google Nexus 5 and ive been trying to get it to switch on USB tethering when it detects a USB connection for my Parrot Asteroid headunit.

The best app for this seems to be Auto USB Tethering by MetaCtrl. The problem is this app is blocked for the nexus 5, now I think this is because of carrier restrictions on tethering but I don't have a problem tethering I just want it to come on automatically when I plug in the USB cable.

Ive managed to find the apk and installed it along with the premium unlocker but it still doesn't work.

Has anyone got Auto tethering to work on the Nexus 5? and if so some pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjr19:
So I've posted in various forums on certain ROMs with questions about things, but I just haven't been able to seem to find the right fit yet.I love AOSP and the ability for customization, Active Display, etc. Maybe someone can help me out here if I say what I'm looking for. Perhaps someone knows if these things are in a certain AOSP ROM. Here's three things:

1.) Hotspot that allows me to see who's connected and maybe name the device that's connected (i have a few things that connect to the hotspot)

2.) Native SMS app that allows me to continue to type after reaching 160 characters (some stock apps stop progress at 160)

and

3.) I know it probably can't be native, but some sort of S-PEN functionality (I use "Screen Write" a lot)

Anyone have suggestions based on this? Thanks for your continued help and development!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
1. HotSpot usually has Access-Control which (when enabled) displays who is connecting or trying to connect (you can allow or deny)

2. I've never run into this. I am pretty sure Hangouts doesn't have this.I prefer 3rd party SMS anyway :)

3. For AOSP S-Pen use CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT)

I hope this helped some, good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjr19:
Thanks, but regarding your first point on aosp the only options for setting up the Hotspot are ssid, security type and password, is there another spot to bring up access control? Thanks for the other info!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
It is probably ROM dependent, which ROM are you using at the moment?

EDIT: you might try this WiFi Tether app, always backup first just incase.

Hello,

I have had my Verizon G2 rooted for awhile now but no recovery. Now that it seems that they have stable asop roms, I might load one of those up. I added TWRP with autorec, but how do I upgrade to the lastest version of TWRP? I tried flashing in TWRP, but it failed. what have others been doing to keep updated with the latest recover?

Thanks,

Brand new trailer & information of the forthcoming K-Rally by authors of SkyForce!

I’ve often reported (see for example this) on INFINITE DREAMS’ (iDreams for short; authors of well-known, high-quality games like SkyForce (Reloaded) (review here), Super Miners (review here, in the Definitive Multiplayer PPC Game Roundup, the premier resource of everything multiplayer-related) and Explode Arena (review also in the Definitive Multiplayer PPC Game Roundup) forthcoming big hit, K-rally.

They’ve just posted a brand new trailer to their homepage here, which is certainly worth checking out. The video is a pre-rendered trailer, NOT an in-game video. This means it shows far less real in-game shots than the more than one-year-old, Symbian (Nokia)-based, well-known “the stolen video vol.1 :)” video. The (very short) in-game shots aren’t bad at all – they clearly show the superiority of iDreams’ particle / gaming engine. Knowing how efficient, spectacular and good it is (see Skyforce Reloaded!), I’m pretty sure the game will be a REAL killer, the best arcade car racer on the Pocket PC / MS Smartphone.

The features list has also been updated; now, it also lists (native) multiplayer Bluetooth capabilities up to no less than four (!) players (just like in Explode Arena). I really hope the iDreams folks implement native support for the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack – so far, it’s really been missing from their multiplayer games. They also promise it’ll have real inter-multiplatform support, which already works flawlessly on their other titles (I’ve also tested this with them).

The official K-Rally-related discussion forum, right now, doesn’t contain any new information on the title.

All I can say is this will be probably the best game of 2006 (along with Enslave and Skyforce Reloaded).

I think you should be fine. The edges of the Nillkin glass are rounded to that should help also. If you feel the home button is harder to press with the glass on then get a Mime home button. It's a metal sticker that holds on pretty well. I believe they are $2.99 with free shipping in the USA.

Hello LG G2 section!

I recently bought this beauty and the only things I didn't like were these 2:

1) 2GB ram is typically 1GB since the the other half is reserverd I guess? -Does root changes this?

2) I don't like the Dialer and In-Call UI at all.

I tried some "apps" but those are for having a better number pad UI, so it doesn't change the incoming calls or general in-call UI.

I don't want to root (not yet) and as I know, my last stupid phone (HTC HDmini) was able to change that with a simple .exe file.

Is it possible to do that in android without root/flash?

Any kind of redirect links would be awesome!

My version is 4.4.2.

-Thank you!

If you haven't made any changes to your dialer as of yet, try ex dialer. It's quicker and easier on the eyes....plus you can change themes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:
If I am not mistaken, exDialer is an app. That means you have to replace the current phone app with the exDialer.

Also it does not support incoming call changes (which is the ugliest part I think).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeatl:
Correct....it is an app and you can use it as your default phone if you choose.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:

I'm also quite unhappy with the looks of stock G2 dialer and the rest of the LG apps and I'm currently looking forward to jump to Cloudys G3 port....but it's too buggy still....so as a temporary workaround I've been replacing most stock apps with 3rd party apps and some G3 app ports i 've found here and there like the keyboard and notification panel...the only app that annoys me the most is the Dialer!!

I already have ;) I decided to take the leap yesterday with Cluody's G3 1.1, and after a full wipe and clean install I'm very impressed with the stability and performance..I haven't run into any bugs, FC or reboots for now..I'm even using Viper4android and Xposed with Gravity Box, G3 Tweaksbox Beta, with no problems, so I haven't lost any functionality either...I highly recommend anyone wanting to get rid of the ugly G2 stock UI to give it a try! But be sure to do a full wipe and follow Cloudy's recommendations regarding the bootloader and kernel.

btw. I have a D802
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:
Thank you for the comments!

I don't look forward to root my G2 (since that "cloudy g3" is a ROM right?) and I also found that these dialer apps are very buggy and they don't replace the initial apps, they just overlap them (which I find bad).

Maybe I will wait for a 4.5 version, I don't know...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew_rm:
Yes, it's a rom. Is there any reason why you don't want to root? There's so much more potential you can squeeze out of your mobile by rooting it....and you can always unroot it and go back to stock if you're not happy or need to take it to warranty (as long as it's still functional of course).

I also had the same thoughts after starting to clutter my phone with mods and 3rd party apps to get a nicer UI and get rid of G2's stock one....I ended with apps overlapping and the UI looked fragmented..though nicer every app has a different style which isn't great for a seamless and fluid UI experience...plus the more apps and mods the more posibilities of running into bugs and errors.

That's why flashing Cloudy's G3 rom was the perfect solution for me [emoji106]
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:
Well, the reasons I don't want to root right now are:

1) I rooted my previous phone alot of times and I have battery problems (HTC HD mini). I went back to the original ROM, and the service guy told me that I had flashed it and it shouldn't be on warranty.

2) I will probably wait for and 4.5 version. I don't want to do 10 roots in order to find the perfect one for me...

3) I don't have time right now to learn how to flash on Android (therefore this specific phone). I learned how to do it on Windows 6.5 so, I will look forward to it.

If there are any specific guides, I would be glad if you can link them to me ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew_rm:
If they didn't accept it in warranty then you probably didn't set everything back to stock correctly ;) There are plenty of guides explaining the process for the G2. And regarding the battery problems, on the contrary, you should probably get better battery life with a custom ROM as most of them get rid of LG's bloatware and useless apps which eat up battery and memory...and then you can even try different Kernels to further improve your battery life.

But for this you need time to read and get some basic knowledge on how an android system works, for example what Root is (from your post, I think you confuse rooting a phone with flashing a Rom), what's the Baseband, Modem, Bootloader, Custom Recovery, ADB, Kernel, Rom..etc Once you understand each of these terms and their function in the Android system it's very easy to get things done...and by using common sense it's actually quite difficult to completely **** up your mobile! ;) But again...for that you need some time, and if you don't have that luxury, it will be more complicated..

Since we have the same model of the LG G2 (D802) I'll write you a quick step by step so you can have an overview of the process..and then read further yourself...but I won't take any responsibiliy if you run into trouble..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:
Thank you for the further information!

I will have some time after Monday so, I will try to look up all of those things you told me.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew_rm:
ok, good luck! If you need any help just send me a PM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew_rm:
Hey, for some reason I'm not able to respond to your PM, it's says you've either restricted the receipt of PM's or that you're not allowed to reveive them...so I'll answer you here.

-When you install a Rom, you "Flash" it (in PC terminology, it would be the equivalent of installing the Operating System, like Windows for example).

-The Kernel is a sort of "lower level" part of the operating system, which acts as and intermediary between the software and hardware. You can flash it (install it) independently from the ROM, but most of the Custom ROM's you'll find already have their own Kernel integrated, so you just have to flash the ROM. As an example, I'm using Cloudy G3 Rom which already came with it's own Kernel integrated, but I read in many posts that this other Kernel from Bruce2728 works very well (better battery life, faster, etc) with my LG G2 model D802 and Cloudy's G3 Rom, so after flashing Cloudy's G3 Rom I flashed Bruce2728's Kernel on top of it.

-Rooting is the process of gaining full privileges to the Android Operating System, so you can accces, modify and install anything you want (in PC terminology it would be the equivalent of upgrading from a restricted User account to an Administrator account)...normally, as long as you flash Custom Roms, you'll only have to root your device once. And as I mentioned you in my previous post, you can manually un-root your phone if you need to take it back for warranty for example, I never had to do it yet, but if it's ever necessary you can find guides explaining how to do it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeye998:
