[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ekkoria:
You're not bricked if you can still get into Download mode. First of all the Verizon S3 on 4.3 or later has a locked bootloader - you can't install a custom recovery, and only TouchWiz based ROMs are supported using Safestrap. In order to get back up and running you need to see this thread and use the Verizon Utility, or use the Odin method with a stock 4.4.2 ROM seeing as you're on 4.4.2. However I'm surprised your computer doesn't recognize your phone, that almost sounds like more of a drivers issue than anything if your phone still gets into Odin mode. As cliche as it sounds - have you tried rebooting? It may help with a driver issue.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jijixixini:
I appreciate the work being done by gohma rom

i unlock bootloader ,root my g watch

and i use the command： dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p19.img bs=4096

i pull the system.img to \sdcard and copy to pc

g watch doesn't support my language ，any one can tell how can i extract the “system.img”

and add my hometown language package to g watch？

i have already installed root explorer to g watch ,can i just copy and overwrite some original files to add language？

i'm not a developer，a step-by-step tutorial is better :goodcry:

i need some help！！

sorry for my English！
[Verizon LG G2] BlueHarford:
Has anyone tried changing their dpi? The stock is a little big for me
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
Stock is a lot big. I run AOSP all the time. So I've changed mine to 410. Looks so much better.
[Verizon LG G2] MetalMan2:
Use 440 myself, on XDABBEB's ROM. Stock is 480.
[Verizon LG G2] trumankitos:
I use texdroider dpi changer and have mine set about 400. Some things look weird like the camera but I like a smaller DPI
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Am I out of luck with the OPG? Is there a way to flash a new rom or am I stuck with 4.1.2?

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Addendum: I started with my phone showing E98010p. After the grand f.u.b.a.r. my phone shows E980g.

But I've not been able to flash.. It was easy to do when I had the otherwise insufferable Samsung <blech> Galaxy Note 2.

With the OPG, I place the rom file on my external, I go into recovery (cwm 6.4.7), I wipe it all, toggle loki, install).

Then after reboot, phone stuck on LG screen.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
Why are you toggling loki?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Because that's the only way I can get the zip to install. Without toggling, the install aborts.

But even when the rom installs, I can't actually reboot to the new rom, it just gets stuck on LG screen.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
After rooting, I just flashed freegee and from that on the ,e980, twrp and cwm work like a great.

Where did you get cwm from?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
I got it working but only after using madmack TWRP. And I had to toggle Loki to disabled INSIDE the TWRP recovery before installing the zips.

Noticed that I capitalized the word " inside" ? ?

Some of the people here, if they were trying to explain, would not think it important to include that Nuance.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Lol. The nuances...yes it is subtleties such as this.
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
Weird. I've flashed every ROM here and have never had to do that... I wonder what's up
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
What recovery are you using?

I started with CWM that FreeGee puts on. Install aborts. Then using that same recovery, I toggle Loki to disable. Rom will install, but after rebooting either hangs on LG screen or keeps going back to recovery.

Then I used the TWRP that came with Freegee, but none of the touch buttons would respond while trying to use the TWRP.

Fortunately, I was told to use madmack's TWRP.

I first had to install that one which I did successfully by using the CWM recovery by Freegee. Freegee's CWM doesn't bootloop whenever just installing a recovery.

So once inside this TWRP, I was able to flash rom by toggling Loki to disable, then after flashing rom and gapps, I toggled Loki back to enable and everything was good.

I must add though that my battery life with CM 10.2 is just downright horrible. I'm considering just going back to stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
I've used both CWM and TWRP... Both from FreeGee, never any problems. As far as battery life, have you tried madmack's modem?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
I'll give a shot, thanks.

[MENTION=4063358]stinga11[/MENTION] - One question. I've read compiling with Linaro yields better results for performance. Are there any special steps in order to compile CM for Vibrant with that?
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
Yes with Linaro you have a better performance, but I read that is a bit unstable. Honestly, I do not know how to compile this rom with Linaro if you know how to do and want to contribute, I will gladly I edit the main post and add the steps on how to do.
[Vibrant General] nirogu325:
So far I think [MENTION=3252166]sada23[/MENTION] is the only one left in our community with that knowledge. It would help tremendously in case [MENTION=3252166]sada23[/MENTION] wants to lend someone the torch eventually.
[Vibrant General] Synergy510:
I'd like to take on that challenge of compiling CM11 with Linaro. As a matter of fact, I was looking for a way to compile CM for the vibrant so I could test compiling with Linaro 4.9.2 and maybe add some optimizations, so thank you for this!

Does anyone know any downsides to using the cm-10.2 vibrant device branch? And I'd like to get a consensus for this, I already have an S4 ROM based on the CM stable branch, compiled with SaberMod and a couple of cherry-picks to add on to CM11. How many people would want this?
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
The official CM11 releases for galaxy s, galaxy s B, and captivate(They share most of the code with the vibrant.) do not have received any changes from 10.2 branch. In other words, for these device also used the 10.2 branch.:angel:
[Vibrant General] Synergy510:
Cool, thanks for the info. I'm downloading the source right now and I'll try to have a build up as soon as I can. It'll be compiled with some combination of Linaro toolchains. Does anyone know if sada's cm11 is built with this guide (just wanna know because I'm too lazy to install cm-10.1)
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
No, I do not think sada23 has used this guide to create his ROM, since it was created long before I made this guide. If you can compile with Linaro maybe you want to share the guide on how to do/
[Vibrant General] Synergy510:
I'll see if I can. I know a fairly simple, a little on the hack-ish side, way to declare which toolchain you want to use.

How come the vibrant has to be running cm-10.1? Which part of the build process dictates that we have to do that? Because we are using the 10.2 branch? If nothing has change with the other Galaxy S variants in their device githubs, then I don't think it should matter which CM the vibrant currently runs since there is no dependency on cm10.1 in extract-files.sh
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
For the vibrant never was released an official CM-10.2. The coder created the branch but any reason never was released. Is necessary that you have installed an official CM for extract the vibrant drivers. I use CM-10.1 because is the last official release for the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Synergy510:
Gotcha, that makes sense. I've downloaded the source and I'll make some changes to certain things. Maybe after I get a build going I'll make another post on how to build with another toolchain
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
Amazing man, thanks a lot for this guide when I have time I will try.
[Vibrant General] stinga11:
Now finally there is a guide on how to compile with the Linaro toolchain by Synergy510

[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Well, day 1 of being off the charger and I wasn't too impressed with the battery life. I am still hopeful though. Came from the Galaxy Note II which had a massive battery life. I know this is 3000 mAH... And the note was a bit bigger. Definitely going to look into cheap spare batteries or extended batteries that don't require a back door.

Please weigh in here with screen shots, Batt Stats and whatever other insight you may have.

Still excited for this phone!
[Sprint LG G3] jaculop:
I haven't had a chance to give the G3 a good test run, but I did notice the first few days it was draining extremely fast. I downloaded CPU Spy and saw it was not going into Deep Sleep cycle. I narrowed it down to turning the Network Mode from Global to CDMA/LTE and it seemed to instantly fix the issue. The setting is found in Settings > More.. > Mobile Networks > Network Mode. Hopefully this will help some people out if they are having the same issue I was.
[Sprint LG G3] PlagaDeRock:
Good call on that setting, as far as I know it should be on LTE/CDMA anyway. It has on all my last phones anyway.
[Sprint LG G3] jmkarnai01:
Well start getting some screenies asap.
[Sprint LG G3] :
Day 2, was heading to bed and figured I would screenshot my stats before I put it on the charger.
[Sprint LG G3] geetee360:
I wasn't too impressed today at work, would post screens but I had to charge during work. Granted I did take off the charger last night before bed. Had about 75% when I went in. Tomorrow after a full overnight charge I'll take screens and give further updates. I did notice that screen used about 50% and Sprint Connections Optimizer placed second with a whopping 12%! So i disabled the sprint crap, and changed the network mode to CMDA/LTE as mentioned in earlier post. Will report in tomorrow!
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Be sure to post what your brightness setting is left at during the day. The screen is obviously always the biggest battery killer thus I think it would be vital to know where it's running with battery stats like those. 17hrs with 4 hrs screen on is awesome... I need to figure out how to pull numbers like that. This is my first day running with the chanted network mode to LTE/CDMA so I will test and report back.
[Sprint LG G3] :
Auto brightness, lte/cdma, and gps set to battery saver. I only turn it on high accuracy if i need to use maps
[Sprint LG G3] Gargantuantua:
With auto brightness
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Do you happen to remember what the Screen On time was?
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
So, changed the network mode to LTE/CDMA this morning and noticed the same battery drain on my phone. Got to about noon and only had 40%. Not good! I travel over half the month as a pilot so I absolutely need my battery life.

Then I just had the realization that I've been using Nova Launcher with the Ok Google hotword enabled. To me it feels like this would suck down the battery. Can anyone confirm or report on this?
[Sprint LG G3] geetee360:
Todays battery

So here are some screen caps from my battery stats from today. wasnt TOO bad. I had data toggled OFF most of the day at work because it drains fighting for a signal. also i bounce back and forth on roaming when i go to the back. my brightness was set at 75% auto. View attachment 2859242

[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
I turned it off first thing as it was on in my Nova restore. The very first thing I did with this phone in my hand was switch from global to lte/cdma. As I found it odd it was set to global, and the first place I went was network settings as this is a Spark device. I am still getting bad drain but can easily get 5 hours SOT with a lot of data usage. If it's in my pocket a lot, even with tower handoff and all systems go it's a standby beast. Keep your screens low as you can. Use Lux. It's way faster then auto brightness. Every user is different and puts different loads on their systems. Each set is different too. Not all are equal. Over all I say it's lived up to its battery hype. The screen is just a monster. Root might help. Time will tell.

Sent from my LGLS990
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Down to 35% by 2pm. Brightness at 50% in lux, location off, sync on, and wifi on most of the day. Almost 2 hrs of screen time. I feel like im getting pretty massive drain and quickly. This just seems like such a lifestyle change from my Galaxy Note 2. Also, whenever I'm on wifi, I seem to get that sync icon in the notification bar non stop. It doesn't go away!
[Sprint LG G3] leo72793:
I've gotten ok for the first use. Was a big show it off at world at since I'm the first to get it. Had slacker streaming through my LG tones all day while on sprints spark network and had Netflix. Both email account sync very hour and had a few calls and photos and 4k videos shot. Not that bad so far bit battery hasn't been broken in yet. I love this phone. The 1w speaker blows my m7 out the water.
[Sprint LG G3] geetee360:
Battery much better at home. No searching for signal, plenty of use.. Calls, you tube, music, Facebook, the works. Still had a ways to go until dead but I was in need of a charge myself lol. Very happy with these stats!

[Sprint LG G3] thunder1979:
I was actively trying to kill my battery to condition it.

Long story short, 11+ hours total, +5 hours on-screen time and a 1.5 hour phone call to Verizon.
[Sprint LG G3] moysauce:
Wasn't impressed either. I won this G3 from Radioshack and am coming from my HTC One m8. May switch back as it has better battery life and interface.
[Sprint LG G3] cervantesmx:
Here are my stats. Wifi was off for most of the day, I was doing heavy usage on LTE for the entire morning. Blutooth, location and sync are all on. Brightness is set to 20% Auto.
[Sprint LG G3] iDoc21:
I've been getting similar results... I'm pretty disappointed. I'm giving it another day (have had it for 3) and then I'm probably going back to my G2.
[Sprint LG G3] leo72793:
So all day slacker radio over 4g lte spark via Bluetooth til just now with 3 hour sot. And this is the result. Had Netflix for an hour. Exchange and gmail sync every 2 hours and other stuff
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
Mostly web browsing, twitter, spotify and about 45 mins of batman.
[Sprint LG G3] phyba:
I was thinking of switching from my note 3 to this but these stats look absolutely horrible. Seems pretty consistent across the board. I average 6 hours of screen in time now and 4 hours of listening to music on average before I have to charge. Looks like the 2k display is not worth the decreased battery life
[Sprint LG G3] MTsol:
Here's my usage after my 3rd day with the phone. Pretty good compared to what I was used to. Some YouTube, music, visiting forums, and social media.
[Sprint LG G3] hatlesssandman:
I've been getting around 5 hours screen on time with around 20 hours ofoverall time on average. I would like point out the fact that we don't have root if you guys look across the history of any phone no phone manages more than 5 hours of screen on time coming out out the box with carrier bloatware and minimal optimizations due to lack of root. So take these results with a grainof of salt. This phone will easily be capable of over 7 hours of screen with over a day of standby. The phone is already a standby beast and it can only improve from here. Hang tight guys lol.
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
What kind of brightness settings are you running? 5 hours seems insane to me... But total props to you for being able to achieve that. I can get 3 hours of SOT and 12-13 of total time with about 40% brightness.
[Sprint LG G3] hatlesssandman:
I use 50 percent with auto brightness. However I do not play games it's only browsing/ reading Android and world news with a little YouTube sprinkled in location settings are on battery saving mode and auto sync is on. I have greenify on and i also decided to give snapdragon battery guru a shot for the first time i was like wth why not not like i have root So it took 3 days to learn my habits and initially the drain was higher but now after the app learned seems like i get more than enough juice throughout the day and never really end up draining the battery completely.
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Sorry but your wrong, the flex holds its ground and can get over 5hrs of screen on time without root and with bloatwares even including with the so called facebook app install that supposedly is a battery drainer and that's due to the bigger battery it have and the 720p screen resolution of course. I'm sorry but that 2k resolution is a battery hog and it's really not even worth it i rather just wait for the flex 2 which pretty sure they'll up the screen resolution and who knows maybe actually have the right chip that can actually play well and save some battery with the 2k screen.
[Sprint LG G3] piscesjoey:
Ditto & I was just about to post something similar. When I had my One Max I was getting 8+ hours screen on time stock out of the box & this G2 I'm using now I can easily get over 6 hours screen on time just on LTE alone & more on wifi. I'm not trying to down the G3 because it's a great device but that 2K screen resolution is just an overkill on the battery & a custom kernel along with some ROM optimizations will only do but so much.

Sent from my G2
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Exactly, I'm pretty sure it's a great device and knowing me i like to switch phones alot but that 2k screen is an overkill for now I'll sit this one out and wait it out until the new chips are out and optimize to help the screen not be such a battery hog I'm happy with my flex at the moment especially with the battery and screen.
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
Why the hell are you even posting then? Go play with your old phones.
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Well just posting some opinions which i'm pretty sure it isn't a crime and if you don't like it just ignore it don't need to get all salty about it and i am playing with my old phone i just typed this from it lol.
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Its good to hear what others are thinking about this device even if they are deciding to not get it. We don't need to feel offended if this phone isn't a fit for someone else. As an early adopter I am still satisfied with my purchase if you can even call it that... I got such a good deal on it and walked out with them paying me! (Except for the whole contract thing of course). These communities are vital to keeping these corporations somewhat honest. It's all we have to do so really... We need all the feedback we can get.

As for my battery issues... I will wait til the cheap spares come out and roll with 3 batteries in my bag just like I did with my Note 2. Never know when you might need it. Hopefully as better technology comes out, these companies will be able and willing to put the best tech out there. I mean after all, we could be stuck with an iPhone right?
[Sprint LG G3] hatlesssandman:
You lost me at the 720p mark why are you even trying or better yet justifying a 720p phone in this day and age? Yeah i recall flip phones lasting for weeks but do people use those any more just because of "extra battery life". I had the g2 for about 3 months wanted to test out lg before making the jump with the lg g3 and apparently lg passed since I'm using the lg g3. The g2 was the exact same, it gave decent battery but No miracles probably miraculous standby times out of the box yes i agree with that however even with the g2 on average the phone gave about 4 hours and change of screen on time with about 26 hours overall time on a charge. After rooting it and putting the flex based Rom on it ( can't recall the developers name but the g2 basically had one major developer for stock based roms) my screen on time increased to around 7 hours with the standby time remaining the same. Amazing phone no doubt. So can't say much about the flex never used it and don't really care to with a God aweful screen but from my experience with the g2 this phone Will definitely get similar battery life if not better. Don't slam the 2k display because you are on 720p, the g3 goes head to head in battery life with all the other flagships in spite of a 2k display. Don't forget a removable battery!!! Enough said
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
What was your screen on time?
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Stand by beast.

This was with all systems go. Everything is on full blast.
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Aawww but 720p on a phone doesn't even look bad it actually looks great guess a 2k on a phone is a huge difference which yea it is nice and sharp and i'm actually not bashing it as you make it seem and I'm not stuck on a 720p as you also make it seem as for now a 1080p is much superior when it comes to battery wise, I'm stating that the 2k is still new and especially on a what 801 snapdragon? I don't know much about chips but im pretty sure the 2k phones coming out later on with a much better chip might help save more battery then draining it.

Me personally as much as i love the screen i don't see it worth an upgrade yet at this point especially if having better battery is a plus and I'm sorry but maybe some of us just don't want to be cool carrying 2~3 extra batteries around lol like folks still do that? You have your opinions i have mine is that simple but I'll just leave this here which is mostly browsing, youtube videos, and alot of facebook no gaming i have a ps4 and xbox one for that.

Edit: also that is at full stock no bloatware removed sync on always etc, etc once again not bashing it at all, it's still an early stage with the chip it has hopefully it be better when the flex 2 comes out which is the phone I'm hoping to get but for now i'm happy with a 720p and this type of battery.
[Sprint LG G3] piscesjoey:
Besides the 2K display hitting the battery hard, the inner geek in me still want to try the G3 & I know sometime down the road I will. I have a 64GB sd card just sitting & it pains me not being able to currently use it in my G2. Also I'm hearing that a ZeroLemon extended battery is currently in the works & will be available soon.
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Seems like battery life has been getting better. I could use a little more screen time but I wasn't being too conservative with the brightness or battery hogging apps either ie messenger, camera, Facebook. Using Lux on Dynamic Auto Brightness. Sync and wifi was pretty much the only feature on when I got home.

I can live with this... At least until those cheap spares come out for when I am on the road. Even when I had the spare Batts in my bag I hardly needed to switch to a spare unless it was an abnormally heavy day for phone usage.

Forgot to mention I started using Greenify today and froze most of the apps that I don't need in the background. Not sure if its helping or not but I will continue to use it if I continue with these stats.
[Sprint LG G3] skillz360:
I've been getting good screen on time. The one thing I've noticed is the large amount of time AndroidOS is keeping the phone awake and the amount of batt drain from it alone has been 14%-18% for me.
[Sprint LG G3] stas333:
can anyone confirm that switching from global to lte/cdma makes any difference?

Battery Tweaks

I have tried most if not all the tweaks mentioned in this thread such as switching from Global to CDMA/LTE. The ones that made the most difference for me was putting the brightness down to 40% and unchecking the Automatic Brightness feature and turning off the Connections Optimizer.
