[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
Correct. But there doesn't seem to be a real correlation with anything (at least what I've read). Some just suspect heat is the culprit.

The dead spot goes clear across. Warranty it if it happens. But it seems fairly rare.

All the "issues" are hardware related, so a warranty takes care of it. Like any phone, there's always something. But if you're like me and treat the phone like a baby (handle with care) you shouldn't have a single issue.

I did the custom rom thing on my old phone but got tired of things not quite being right. Personally, I feel lg did an excellent job on the stock stuff. De-bloat and all is just fine!
[Verizon LG G2] simple_fear85:
Dead spots on the screen which is part of the screen is bad...Plus there is an ongoing issue of the dreaded black lines. I have yet have any issues with the g2 and i traded my s5 for it. Yes I did a trade from a s5 to the g2. Its the best phone in my book still out on market. it was funny the sale rep looked at me funny and just wanted to laugh and say why. He claims its the best phone but I dont think so. the g2 looks great all around, fast as heck, and is flashable.
[Verizon LG G2] peek_12_21:
I went from s3 to g2 you can totally tell the difference in power.I havhad the black lines issue after flashing but return to stock and sent to replacement and has been fin ever since.but I had the option of upgrading to g3 or st and after using the g2 over the s3 I'm on board with LG I used to only own Samsung's since the fascinate but after using them and playing with them I think LG does good what I need it to do Samsung has been doing the gimmicky stuff lately and it's kinda made me meh about them.and I think having the Qhd screen is trying to future proof me so when I upgrade in another 2 years I'll still be happy and not dreading not having it

(i can't ask inside the thread because of my post---- this is the first)

THANKS

After flashing kernel the screen doesn't turn on.....???
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
I think it may be helpful if you post the exact filenames of each item that you tried to flash.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:

You will need to flash the stock sony .108 kernel to use kitslim ......

If that still not work, you may need to flash .ftf firmware via flashtool to restore the whole phone.

Yesterday I purchased an ATT LG G2. Not content to leave anything alone, I rooted and installed recovery as soon as I got home. I used some unfamiliar techniques with this phone, but I assumed they were new.

Root - Towelroot

Recovery - AutoRec

I rebooted after installing towelroot and everything seemed fine. AutoRec seemed to install fine as well but later when I went to reboot problems arose.

I can't enter download mode. The phone is stuck in fastboot mode. In Windows it's recognized as an unknown Android device. Ubuntu/Knoppix do not recognize it at all. These two facts have prevent me from attempting many of the recovery methods available here on XDA.

I cannot enter recovery. Factory resetting does not work either, instead it dumps me right back into the fastboot mode.

Any advice? If I could at least get a machine to properly recognize the device I could attempt some of the recovery methods.

Some other interesting facts:

-Connected to Windows:

--Fastboot mode started

--udc_start()

--reset

--portcharge

--reset

--portcharge

-Connected to Linux (10.04 Ubuntu)

--Fastboot mode started

--udc_start()

--reset

--portcharge

--reset

--portcharge

--fastboot: processing commands

"Model Information Check Fail"

I've doubled checked that I'm using the right TOT and DLL with no luck. Any ideas?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabriel51:
It does sound like you have the wrong tot or/and dll file but could simply be a fubared usb port?

Are you plugged directly into your computer and not a hub>?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jconnell:
I'm using a new MBPr running W7 in a bootcamp partition. I've tried using both of the available USB ports. I've downloaded the TOT file twice and I've tried it from two different external sources (Thumdrive, USB3 External). No luck from either. There's no room left on the bootcamp partition so I have to use an external source.

I'm certain I have a D800, also confirmed by bender_007. I'm also certain I'm using the correct DLL and TOT. I've also tried twly.o different cables.

The only thing I can think of are that some of the drivers installed when I was working with bender_007 are interfering with the drivers. I need to be using. I'll try that now actually...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabriel51:

Switch to the XP machine. Cleaned out the drivers. Restarted. Installed correct drivers (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1.exe).

Launched the LGFlashTool, returned to factory. After a few attempts, the phone booted up. Used Towelroot, rebooted, fine. Used (the correct) AutoRec, rebooted into recovery, all was well. Rebooted system and I got stuck on a blank, black screen with the backlight on and an ever glowing green-blue-green LED.

I could still get into recovery and download mode though- all was not lost! Booted into recovery > Advanced > ADB Sideload. Sideloaded CM11 for D800. Booted right up!

I quite liked some features of the factory ROM and I may dabble with it again in the future. For now, sticking with what stays out of my way.

The features I'll miss most are the IR controller, knock on and some of the notification power widgets.

Follow the information in this video, use the recommended files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqw_LFuyHbE&feature=youtu.be

Use CMR for your recovery, I use this one: philz_touch_6.41.6-d800

Yes it has bloat however use this "debloater" (attached). Just choose carefully what you delete, you won't destroy the rom but some desired items may no longer work. (no big deal)

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kettir:
This is another good looking case that comes in two parts (a flat back and a "rim" for around the edges.) I expect this one to come apart if I drop it. As with the Glam case from Case-Mate, this provides very good looks and protection from perhaps scratching the sides and back. There is a raised edge in front to help protect the screen if you lay it face down. There is also a molded "rim" around the main camera in back for protection there. A very classy looking case in black and gold. It looks even better than the site can show. You can see this case here:

http://www.case-mate.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-cases/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-s5-slim-tough-cases.asp

The site says "metallic bumper" but it's made of plastic as far as I can tell, so that probably means "like metal" rather than actually claiming to be metal.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jayshah:
Hi,

I would like to present my second Xposed Mod. I'm uploading this one too since the Waze one had some interest, so I hope this one can be of use to other people too.

Useful modifications to WhatsApp. Currently includes:

Removal of the voice and/or camera buttons from the conversation view

The ability to keep the contact list (called "New Chat" in WhatsApp) in your history, so when you launch a conversation using it and then press the back button, it doesn't skip straight back to the main conversations list.

Highlight group conversations in a custom color in the main chat list (and contact picker).

Disable WhatsApp expiry check

Changelog can be found here.

Removal of the camera and/or voice buttons

Some time ago, WhatsApp added the "audio voice" feature. I found it hindered significantly more than it helped: if you tapped it accidentally, it would vibrate and emit a notification-like sound. And, I would do this repeatedly and so never found this useful (I don't use voice messaging).

More time passes, and they add a camera icon. This is more useful, and personally I'd prefer if that was the only one. So - I wrote this (it's also open source: https://github.com/jaysh/xposed-whatsapp). It's entirely configurable based on what you would like.

Before (with both camera and voice visible):

[IMG="Before"]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaysh/xposed-whatsapp/master/documentation/images/before.png[/IMG]

After (no voice, no camera - you can choose which combination you'd like):

[IMG="After"]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaysh/xposed-whatsapp/master/documentation/images/after-no-camera-no-voice.png[/IMG]

(Note: in all cases, the "send message" button will appear after you start typing, as it always would. Additionally, disabling sending still allows you to receive them.)

Keep contact list in the history

When navigating to a conversation via the "contact list" (main WhatsApp screen > "New Chat" on the action bar > Select a contact) and you press the back key, rather than returning to the contact list, it returns you back to the main WhatsApp screen with your list of conversations - which can be a little frustrating.

This mod allows you to "go back" to the contact list, so you can chat uninterrupted.

How to install

Recommended method: install via the Xposed module installer - search for "WhatsApp Mods"

Alternatively, for offline installation, you can use this APK: http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/sh.jay.xposed.whatsapp_v4_da029a.apk

Please do let me know if any comments/feedback. If you are looking for other features, you may well find them over at WhatsAppX.

Thanks!

Jay

Whatsapp+ can also be the same, even many other features..
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Great idea, I also dont like these 2 icons.

I noticed you are hiding them by setting width&heigh to 0. If I'm using thsi in eclipse it shows me that 0 values are not valid. Maybe you could better imagebutton.setVisibility(View.GONE)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jayshah:
Good point - but I'd rather run the stock WhatsApp myself. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though. I really want less features, not more: I like WhatsApp to be a simple text/media exchange, nothing more.

WhatsApp toggle their visibility based on what you are doing, e.g. if you're typing or not - so they don't stay hidden when you only toggle their visibility (in fact, the default layout doesn't even appear to have the correct viability settings applied, so I think they're relying on their Java code to toggle it). Open to other ideas on how to make it less hacky, naturally.

[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
If soemthing was set to GONE, it is not even possible to make it visible again by code. Only if you set INVISILBE it could be made visible again.

The INVISIBLE takes still the space like if it is visible. GONE does not consume space.

EDIT: I read about it, seems a invalidate() of the upper layout is needed but searching it consumes time. So set w+h to 0 is fine :D

[Xposed Framework Modules] jayshah:
Thanks! I will try and take a look at this as it seems there are a few requests for it. Because the Java code has been obfuscated, it will take me some time before I can confirm I have done it or not.

I don't use Telegram unfortunately, so this is quite unlikely. Sorry! But, you can use the source code to try this yourself, if you like, I hope the idea would be very similar.

I believe there are already apps that allow you to lock other apps? Unless I misunderstand you.

Fantastic :D I am really busy tonight but I will do my best to test and merge this tomorrow. Hope that is okay. Thanks so much for your contribution!

[Xposed Framework Modules] jayshah:
Hi everyone,

I'm very sorry for the lack of updates recently. I had a healthy Christmas vacation and thought I would have at least some internet access - but this was sadly not the case. I have updated the module with the fix from gmay which fixes the highlight group options in the newer WhatsApp versions.

For all those asking about whether the blue ticks can be one-way, I have spent a lot of time looking into this with no real luck. The implementation is quite complex, and I am concerned that this complexity will grow, reduce, or be re-factored with different versions and be very hard to keep stable. The post I have to keep them one-way (linked below) does still work at the trade-off of running an older version of WhatsApp.

My pleasure :)

I haven't experimented with this myself, but it would be worth trying to move all the media to one new location (e.g. /external_sd/WhatsApp-Custom-Storage/) and then adding a symlink from /internal_sd/WhatsApp/ and /external_sd/WhatsApp/ into that directory. Remember to take a backup of everything first, though!

:) My general update on this hasn't changed as of yet, though I am trying to squeeze a couple of quick-wins in whenever I get a chance.

I have described a method here that allows it to be one-way: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules...ove-action-t2824732/post56726146#post56726146. I am using it myself, so I've stopped updating WhatsApp (which I am very happy to accept as a trade-off, but YMMV).

Correct :D

As some have said, yes it does seem to. But it is not officially supported, and unless someone else joins the project and is willing to support it, it may break at any time.

Won't this be quite short lived? I mean, doesn't "Online" only apply when the WhatsApp app is actually open?

Fix has been released :)

You must be quite the multi-tasker ;)

Which method are you using to support 4 numbers? It should be reasonably easy to add support for this, but the UI could be complicated. Internally, WhatsApp is called "com.whatsapp" which is what is matched against when hooking, so we'd need to support more like "com.whatsapp1" and "com.whatsapp2" but the question is: how do we find these names? One option is to rely on users to type them in (but then the question is, how do they find them?) which is easy for me to implement. The other is to offer an app picker where you click on all the applications you want to mod, but then it's possible users may click on apps that have nothing to do with WhatsApp and crash the mod, so I have to cater for that case too making it more complicated.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Salim.Keady:
Does it work with WhatsappMD ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] vip57:
Thank you for the reply

the other version name is com.ogwhatsapp

i don't want to bother you because the app isn't expired yet but the problem that it don't get official update that mean the dev may stop updating it

so it is up to you if you don't have time it is not necessary it is working good till now

thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] jayshah:
Looking at their manifest (https://github.com/Vextil/WAMD/blob/2.1.0-release/AndroidManifest.xml), they're using the "com.whatsapp" package name, so the mod will try to work. Whether it succeeds will be a different problem :) It should mostly work, though they do make some structural changes (https://github.com/Vextil/WAMD/blob/2.1.0-release/To-do on base change.txt) to the layouts which I rely on for highlighting groups, so this may break. That said, the mod is designed to be error tolerant - if you find the mod crashes, I will be happy to patch it so it won't crash (but I won't fix the bug).

The project has been abandoned, so I think it's quite likely that it'll expire eventually.

You've inspired a third option I overlooked: adding the names one by one as people ask for them. It seems reasonable to take this approach in the immediate term, because it's quite easy to implement, and saves investing in complex UI elements that will probably only help a minority of users.

I'll need your help testing it, so would you like to get the ball rolling once it expires? We can potentially start now: it would involve me giving you a new APK with support for "com.ogwhatsapp" and you enabling debug logs then sending me the whole thing. In there, we'll see whether the mod correctly read and updated OGWhatsApp's expiry date, so we'll have good confidence that your version will now never expire.
