These days as a foreigner you will have to prove residency in Japan to get a post-paid contract. Either by showing a Japanese driving license, a foreigner registration card, a combination of health insurance card and utility bill, etc. The only way for you to get a post-paid contract if you don't live here is to have someone else get the contract in their (or their business's) name.

Pre-paid is relatively easy. You don't have to prove that you live here (though you do have to show something with your name on it, like a passport), but I don't know if they have pre-paid SIM cards or if they only have SIM-less prepaid phones. I think that Softbank is the only carrier left who still does prepaid.

Hi,

I am working on a program which reads the current GPU frequency of Android devices. For example, Adreno GPUs have a standard directory of /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk. The GPU frequency of Intel devices seems to be a lot more difficult to find. '/sys/class/drm/card0/gt_cur_freq_mhz' works for a few devices, but not all. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andrew

[G Pad 8.3 General] razgriz8426:
We're all in the process of receiving and installing this update, and there are many questions about recoveries, rooting, etc. This is a thread to gather all the info we know so people don't have to be searching through tons of posts.

(I'm in the process of installing now, so I'll answer as many of these questions as I can. I will also update the OP with info from other users. If anything I state is untrue, please post and let me know.)

Can I take the update while rooted?

Yes! If you are on 4.2 and rooted but on STOCK RECOVERY, you can take the OTA and keep root.

Can I take the update with TWRP installed?

No! You will bootloop into recovery.

Is there an alternative/manual/TWRP method of installing?

Yes, see below post.

How am I supposed to update if I installed TWRP?

See below post, "README if you are currently on JB4.2.2"

Alternative method: "download flashify from the play store, backup twrp, then flash the recovery.img from OP. No pc needed & 100% pain free." Thank you to 86shelby. Then take the OTA.

Can I root the 4.4 version?

As of 8/26, yes! Stumproot works with the Bruteforce method. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2850906

Can I downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2?

Yes

If anyone else has questions they'd like posted, please let me know, and I'll put them in.
[G Pad 8.3 General] paperWastage:
NOTE: If you want root/twrp in KK4.4.2, you'll need to pre-root in JB4.2.2 before OTA update(towelroot works in JB4.2.2, but not in KK4.4.2)

Looks like Stumproot works with KK4.4.2

README if you have a non-booting device

If you tried OTA update with TWRP recovery and get stuck in a bootloop for TWRP

If I mess everything up and device doesn't boot

Restore (B) the entire device back to 4.2.2 using the kdz file(more complicated and you lose all your settings/files/apps)​

README if you are currently on JB4.2.2

If you already have TWRP, you can flash 4.4.2 via the TWRP backup below (probably can just flash over 4.2.2 without factory reset... do factory reset only if something goes wrong)

Is there any disadvantage to not get twrp i can still reset the bootloader correct?
[G Pad 8.3 General] paperWastage:
Twrp is a proven open source way of going between different Roms easily and backing up your ROM. (As you can see, i have a twrp backup of both 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, you can switch anytime) There is no lg utility that does those two functions easily for you

If you are going via ota and want to maintain the option of using twrp in 4.4.2, you need to root before ota (and stock recovery)

After ota, you can only reflash twrp via root command (dd if=twrp.IMG of=boot.partition). There isn't a way to get root yet within 4.4.2, so you can't flash twrp from an unrooted 4.4.2
