[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryzee:
Major Update:

On Friday August 1, Verizon issued an "OTA" to 4.4.2 for the LG G Pad 8.3.

I successfully d/l and installed it. Upon rebooting, I immediately opened the Nook App and it continued to function normally as it had under 4.2.2 with all settings accessible.

So now the G3 and G Pad 8.3 (both Verizon) have the same Android OS (4.4.2) and only the G3 still continues to exhibit no settings access (icon at top of page and bar at bottom both still missing) for the Nook App.Otherwise it (the app) works as it should. No other apps on the G3 (including Kindle) exhibit this or any other issue.

Any ideas, thoughts, and/or possible solutions?

Took both units to Verizon and BN today and "they" are stumped!

Have sent the updated info to BN/Nook tech support and am awaiting a reply,
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crenca:
I have same problem with my AT&T LG G3...

So it does appear to be a Android 4.4 issue or perhaps something to do with LG's skin of 4.4. It's a shame really because I much prefer Nook's reader to Kindle's but I will be purchasing my books through them until Nook fixes this. Let us know if you hear of a solution...:cowboy:

Ok, let me start this off by saying that I was one of the people sent a free screen protector by Zero Lemon to test as long as I agreed to review it both here and on amazon. I made a place holder review on amazon for it and gave it 5 stars at that time but stated in the body of my review that I was awating reciept of the protector and would update my review at a later time. I didnt feel to bad with giving it a 5 star rating at that time since I was recieving a FREE item. and I plainly stated I was going to update my review later. There has been Zero Lemons origional post and it has since been closed because of it where users here were saying that the reviews were fake and bought.... Im not sure how to respond to that, but my review is a true review after install and using it for a little while.

Ok, enough of that, on to my review!!

So I was allowed to take part in a product test of the tempered glass screen protector for m HTC one M8. when the package arrived I was a little concerned as the box had a slight bend and crease to it. I was worried that the screen protector would be cracked, but upon opening the box all was good inside.

I had to remove my existing glass protector in order to put this one on and was really hoping that I would like this one the same as I did my other.

Install was simple as heck. the package comes with a wet antibacterial wipe and a dry microfiber wipe to get the screen nice and clean prior to install. so I did what I needed and wiped down my screen so it was good and clean. this glass screen protector was just a touch larger than my other protector, and it fit perfectly edge to edge. once I lined up the bottom edge I slowly lowered it ensuring it remained aligned and let it sit on the screen. everything was lined up perfectly (for once in my life... ) so I tapped the center with my finger lightly and watched it adhere.

The only thing that I thought was odd was around the outer edge there was a small row of tiny bubbles but after rubbing and pressing on it for about 15 mins they are going away.

the edges are nicely rounded, more-so than my last one and it just seems to fit and feel perfect.

I would highly recommend this screen protector.

here are a few pics of the screen protector. it s rather hard to get a pic of my phone, with my phone so sadly I dont have any installed pics right now. I will try to get some later once my wife gets home and I can use her phone.

The box:

opening it:

The screen protector:

The wipes:

The instructions.... perhaps a few things were lost in translation....

I want to thank Zero Lemon for allowing me to review this product. I had a Nilikin on my M8 prior to this and was apprehensive about removing it to put this one on, but in my opinion this one fits a bit better and feels better more rounder and smoother on the edges.
[One (M8) Accessories] Heisenberg420:
I think all this drama about fake reviews would go away if it weren't blatantly obvious that the reviewers don't actually have the screen protector yet. They (not you directly) should just say I'm pleased with the price and all that's included and will update review later. Those that leave 5 star reviews saying 'will update when I receive it' are just asking for it.
[One (M8) Accessories] schollianmj:
Meh, you'll be all right.
[One (M8) Accessories] schollianmj:
Well I just dropped my phon and it landed on a ceramic tile floor face down... screen protector cracked in to places, but the screen of my phone is fine. guess thats part of what we get screen protectors for right?

My phone is on bootloop, any modes doesnt work, including recovery mode... its restarting continously, it turns on for about 10 sec. Stucked up on its logo then turn off and on again on its logo.. how to fix? Its a cloudfone ice 500e.. i think fastboot wont work coz i cant turn it on that mode
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
I have already wipeout/restore to factory settings. Turn off your phone, once turn off, HOLD Volume ( ), Call (bottomleft), and POWER for about 15-20sec. New loading screen will appear. Restore and Reboot

Turn off your phone, once its off hold down volume buttons, call button and power button for 15 to 20 seconds. This should force the phone into recovery

If that doesn't work I don't know what will, as the phone has very little info about it

Cloudfone ice 500e.. pls check the phone on google, i have tried all the possible button combination but it doesnt work, it keeps on :rolleyes: restarting

Mobile Stuck on Boot Screen

I'm experiencing the problem to my android phone, it has stuck on boot screen after when I accidently deleted some fonts in /system/fonts/ using fexplorer.... Now its stuck. I've recovery e3 (original) phone is rooted with SU and I'm unable to start it. I used factory reset, and wipe partition... Can anyone help me on how to install new rom or how to access internal memory through computer as I've fonts on pc (that I deleted earlier). Or tell me how can I reflash a new rom. Its JB 4.2.2 dual sim...:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] kimgeek:
Im suggesting that you should install new rom, using fastboot.. search some tutorial on youtube on how to use fastboot.. in your case its not that worse, you can still switch your phone to fastboot mode, thats all.. just try the fastboot and adb, that works

I use CameraZOOM in my phone as my primary camera app. Sadly, on the TS, it crashes frequently, so I can't use it there. The stock camera app doesn't crash, but it fails to save pics randomly (?)

What 3rd party cameras are you guys using? I dont need high-end features, just a quick snapshot that I can later sync using dropbox. Any recommendation would be appreciated.
[Ornate TrueSmart] cybriks:
Was trying a lot of different camera apps in order to try to compensate for the extremely dissatisfying image quality I get from my TS (are all units crap or might there be a problem with the sensor/wiring on my particular unit).

Anyways, settled for camera 360 for the time being. Allows for correct rotation in the viewfinder (you have to rotate the final image after shooting though) - and it gives me a chance to hide the crappy quality behind loads of effects...

HI,

I hope someone here can help me or atleast give me a clue what went wrong.

I send my S3 in for service because of the motherboard bug where there is no sound when calling.

They replaced the motherboard and I tested it with my sim and all okay.

i put the latest firmware on it. (I9300XXUGND5_I9300NEEGND1_NEE) (nordic countries)

After that i put on cf-root (CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300) (files seem from februari '14 i see now)

And i sent it to my girl far away from me.

She puts in her simcard and the message no sim card and no network service came up.

So i let her put in *#06# and result was imei Null/Null.

What could have happened ? i used the same firmware for the nordic countries before and also that cf-root.

The only difference is thet it got new parts..

The bad thing is, i cannot remember if i tested it with the sim after the update..

Any idea what went wrong or what i did wrong.. and even more important.. how i can fix it? i have to do it through remote as my girlfriend is far away ..

I hope someone can help.. i just sent her a cd with odin and that latest firmware.. i'm hopen that when it arrives in 2 weeks, i flash it with the originale software again and fix it like that..

any other options or tests we can do ? or solutions?

Hi guys, just sharing my self-compiled Paranoid Android builds.

The ROM is built via SaberMod toolchain with O3 optimization. The kernel is still the stock CM11 kernel, only compiled with different toolchain.

Strictly for unlock-bootloader only. Flash at your own risk.

[CENTER][B][COLOR="Red"]Your warranty is now void.[/COLOR][/B]
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.[/CENTER]

Download - Paranoid Android ROM

G-Apps

Some few useful tips:

1. As much as possible, install only 1 home launcher, otherwise the navigation bar keys(back-HOME-recent) will be laggy at certain times. From what I know, this issue is common for all CM11-based ROMs. Just uninstall or freeze(via Titanium app) your other home launchers. EDIT: I just learned that this issue is not applicable to all as some users told me that they are fine with even many launchers installed.

2. For a better audio experience, install ViPER4Android Audio Effects.

3. The recent task will be overloaded in time, hence the RAM suffers(especially on a phone like ours with 800+MB only), try to clear recent task whenever you feel the smoothness and fluidity of the UI degrades.

4. Use ART runtime, it's better than Dalvik. I also get a bit of better battery mileage with ART on my personal experience. It doesn't work if you have Xposed though.

[MENTION=4023029]Rycon33[/MENTION]

Are you thinking about building PA 4.5 alpha?
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Thanks, but here will suffice as I'm not a dev and only sharing what I just compiled from source(the real work has been done by the people I mentioned in the OP). And take the build as it is.?

I think the source for their alpha isn't open yet. Once it becomes open, I'll try to compile it also.

Tapatalked from my Xperia
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
My rookie github in case others want to build PA also from source. -> https://github.com/Darknyt33/android_device_sony_huashan

Clearly, it is forked from Cyanogenmod and it is not that refine compared to others. I dont even know if some of those files are still needed. I also just add lightbulb overlay (took q from all other xperia github for PA). And also I add the small nav height overlay.

Just sharing here. No intention of being a dev, lol. If I do, I could have just post it at the dev section. The previous one I did was for Mahdi rom which I posted here in general section also and seems got little attention, but it's alright.?

Edit: Also, if anybody here want to build and use sabermod or Linaro toolchain, let me know and maybe I can help you with the way. I just learned how to use those toolchains last week and also knew about JustArchi's O3 optimization. I can link you with all the commits I used when building with 4.8+ toolchain(4.7 has no issue). All the commits and fixes I bookmarked when I read the whole thread of JustArchi's O3 optimization.

Nvm..., deleted ?

[Xperia SP General] ngoralph:
you should have just built aospal :P since we already have PA
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^I actually tried yesterday with AOSPAL Saberdroid but they are changing their bases to AOSP and not with AOSPA anymore. Once their bases are ok and online again, I'll try to compile it(if I can).

And you mention we have PA already, you're right, except that here is strictly for unlocked-bootloader only and we can use any CM11-based custom kernels here. And NexusPrime's PA have his own added code and tweaks which this one clearly doesn't have, this is pretty barebone PA with the only modification of the nav height I added in overlay(my personal nav height preference 42x36). And different toolchains used.
[Xperia SP General] TsunaH:
So we can modifie the navbar size with this PA ? \o
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Try GravityBox.

It's an Xposed module.

(Don't like using it myself since I'm a big fan of ART)
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
We cannot modify nav bar height here [MENTION=5681636]TsunaH[/MENTION] , I just made the default to 42x36dip. Adding nav bar settings will defeat the purpose of PA on eliminating those unnecessary settings. But yeah, try gravity box. Or if you don't want xposed, I can give a flashable zip for people wanting specific nav bar height.

[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
awesome job mate. downloading now. will post a review once I use it for a day. How stable is this btw? enough for daily use?
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Been using it since I compiled it last week. No problem that I encountered yet on my end. Except I needed to uninstall all my other home launcher and keep only one, otherwise the navigation bar will be laggy. It is actually the same issue I encountered for all CM11-based custom ROMs. Not sure if its my phone that got problem lol.

Btw, there will be another build probably tomorrow.

Edit: And, don't quote the whole OP lol.?

[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
PA is my favourite and i thank u so much for building and sharing this goodness with us. Hope u continue this.
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
a question:

its been a long time since I last used pa, but isn't there settings for hover, peek, etc.?

btw the rom is smooth.
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Don't worry, this will be updated weekly, around the same time as new PA releases.

No actual settings for both. For hover, you either enable it or disable in status bar icon there. For peek, enable/disable it in display settings.
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
To the very few that even cares::p:D

Paranoid Android 4.5 Beta-1 is uploading!

EDIT: uploaded!
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
How much time remaining?
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
:^^Around 5 minutes more.

Btw, the ROM is still compiled via Sabermod toolchain. But the stock CM11 kernel now compiled via Linaro.

EDIT: And.... Uploaded, enjoy guys!:)
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Compiling roms or kernel via different toolchains make any difference?
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
I'm using this particular Optimization which preferably works better with Sabermod or Linaro compared to Google's.

And I've tried with all different toolchains and combination before I decided the best at least for me is Sabermod for ROM and Linaro for kernel.
[Xperia SP General] TsunaH:
Very smooth ROM :good:

I can't use Art because of Xposed. Hope it will be compatible with Art one day \o
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Lol, I only found out now that holding-down the "recent" button will lead you to the last app you're using:D. Not sure if it was there on previous versions.
[Xperia SP General] TsunaH:
Yeah with the "first" release that you post, the recent button lead to the last app.
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^That goes to show that I only cared for hover/floating app lol.

Let's hope next week, the legacy devices like ours, will get the new recent card stack. For now, it is still on official ones only(Nexus devices).

And once CM implemented the heads-up/floating app also, I'll juggle between the two ROMs.
[Xperia SP General] ramcool789:
You're awesome man!! :laugh:

Thanks a ton for this!

and may i know what theme or launcher you are using in the third picture in the OP ?? :)
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Nova launcher, with BelleUI and this one for the dock icons.

Remeber, try to install only one launcher, if you have two or more launcher installed, the nav bar keys will be laggy at certain times. Uninstall or freeze the other ones. This issue is the same on all CM11-based ROMs I tried before.

For instance, on mine, I freezed the default Launcher3, Google Now(and also Google search unfortunately) and I never experience lagginess on my navigation keys anymore eversince.
[Xperia SP General] igor_anta:
Sorry for asking this since you already pointed out that we can use use custom CM kernels for this, but is Williams v4 kernel compatible?

And I'm still suggesting you move this to Original Development, that's where all the UBL roms are and more people will see it, seems like it's buried in this thread. It deserves more recognition, just sayin :)
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^Williams kernel(for CM11) worked when I tried on the previous version. Should be fine also on this latest version. Backup just in case, or be near from a PC in case fastboot is needed.

I understand your concern with moving it to Dev thread. But I don't want to carry the burden of answering users to fix this or add this or that. I'm not a Dev, just a passionate Android fan.

Edit: Btw, I've seen in N5 that there will be an update for Mahdi ROM today. I'll try to compile one for others to try also. I've compiled Mahdi before and posted on different thread but I'll just post it here together with PA so there's only 1 thread to maintain. Their heads-up/floating app seems good also. We'll see how it goes. EDIT:nvm, I've already read some issues on other threads, maybe I'll compile again for Mahdi next time.

Edit2: Just checked the changelog for PA and saw there was a patch for 'Fake ID" vulnerability. I tried it just now and voila: we're secured(whatever that is for) .
[Xperia SP General] ramcool789:
Will surely keep that in mind, thanks again!

And keep up the good work ;)

The one launcher rule is not necessary IMO. Because I have 3 launchers (Google Now, Launcher3 and Aviate which I use) and there is no lag/slowdown.
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^ I'm starting to think my phone got problem. Coz ever since I tried any custom Roms, I experience lagginess on my navigation keys when I have two or more launchers installed.:(

Good to know that others don't have that issue.:)
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
It's not your phone! me and various other people experience the same problem, the only roms i don't have navigation bar lag on are by nexus prime
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^ His ROM uses stock kernel(or any custom stock-based kernel) so it could be kernel-related also or could also be because of his tweak or mod on his ROM.

Anyway, other users here mentioned they don't have problem with even many launchers installed, good for them.
[Xperia SP General] chetan_p:
[MENTION=4023029]Rycon33[/MENTION] try AOKP nightly dated 25/6 (recent builds have no WiFi working) and feel the smoothness.
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^ Thanks, but right now, I have no intention of trying other ROMs. Because the ROM here is very smooth and fluid and I'm very satisfied with it.

I just mentioned that I have problem when I installed two or more home launchers. But other users don't have issues like that. So it's more of an isolated case really.

EDIT: It seems kernel really played a part on my issue, I am now using this kernel by pec0ra and the navigation bar keys lag are gone even when I have several launchers installed now. Those who doesn't have issues like mine, no need to switch kernel unless you like also some of the added features offered by other CM11-base custom kernel.

Just like to inform also [MENTION=5091745]noahvt[/MENTION] , though right now you cannot try CM11-based kernel coz you're using ROM that relied on stock-based kernel, but it's worth informing you on this find. If ever you want to try again CM11 or other CM11-based ROM for unlocked bootloader, use pec0ra's kernel.

no recent view like android l

bro [MENTION=4023029]Rycon33[/MENTION] why there is no recent priview of andrid l on 4.5 beta 1
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^ The source for new recent stack card isn't open yet. Still closed-source for now. One PA member confirmed that on their G+ page. It will be on our build once the source becomes open. Hopefully by next week or at least in the very near future.

thanx bro rom is running smooth and awsome i love thisrom so much

o wan to port ubantu touch but i dont know to will u guide me
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
^^ I was able to compile this because the device tree are already available done by CM. Just need to modify some file to make it compatible with PA one. The hard work has been done by our dear FXP team devs here. I just compiled it for PA.

For porting Ubuntu I totally have no idea mate, sorry. And in my opinion, not worth it to port Ubuntu, last time I tried one with my other phone, it's hardly usable, and no google services. I'm not sure now the status though.
[Xperia SP General] fefepato:
Thank a lot for bringing this excellent ROM, is actually very good and quite stable :victory:

By the way, anyone else having problems with "Android System"?. It is not normal to consume so much battery. In other ROMs I've used not drain more than 15%.

I know that every ROM is different, but this happens to me only with Paranoid Android ROM. I have tried to figure out which process is the culprit, i leave some screenshots:

Any idea how I find out what is the problem? :confused:

Thanks and sorry my bad english :D
[Xperia SP General] Rycon33:
Not sure about that I'm using ART runtime. And the first two days I actually have this ROM, I had quite a drain. But it went away after that few charge cycles. My android system is always either at the middle to the bottom of the list.

Try to refresh/reset the battery stats(above beside the battery and triangle icon. And observe again. Edit: damn it's not a reset button lol, I think other ROM has that option.

Or use battery stat app that can detect which process that is draining your battery. I personally don't use any as I'm only relying on my actual day to day usage and never had problem on my installed apps.

Edit2: I've seen you are using one. It's hard to view when on mobile.��

Now I understand why I don't use any battery stats app, as I can't seem to fully understand what those really means. Maybe other users here can help you interpret that.

Attached is an example of mine at this moment after using 20% of my battery.
