[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] psm510:
Hi all, i have some question:

-What app would you recommend to do a nandroid backup? Is it possible to do so with ODIN?

-The current dpi for the S5 is crap. Everything is so large! I used to have an S3 With Slimkat and i think it had 320 dpi. I heard the stock dpi for the S5 is 432. What dpi should it be lowered to make it similar to the S3's 320? Ive heard 424 was good so far. What do you use?

-Finally, is there a rom that has minimal bloatware on it? Right now only some of my bloatware is frozen with Titanium Backup, but there is still a lot of stuff i would like to remove but im unsure if they will cause problems if i uninstall/freeze them.

Thank you in advance everybody! I appreciate your help!

p.s The battery life is really impressive! Ive had my phone for a week and the lowest its gone between charges was 40%! Im probably going to get another OEM battery and switch between them every couple of weeks to maximize their lifetimes.

Since the case thread was doing well, I thought I would start one about screen protectors.

Right now, I am using the iCarez tempered glass screen protector. I really like this thing. I was using just a cheap generic I picked up at the mall, but this is so much nicer.

I have never used a screen protector on any phone with no problems. Just keep it clean with a soft cloth. this phone has an amazing screen. My kids use glass protectors on their phones and my wife has crap (dirt) all over her screen as a protector. I don't know how she uses it like that.

I already tried phone plus, ezdial and smart dialling whith greek support.

On the number 5 are the greek letters kapa,lamda,mi. A lot of greek names start with kapa, and you have to scroll down all the kapa to find a contact starts with a lamda. I believe that it would be much easier if we translate speed dial's "index dial" (eten m600+)

Is this possible?

hi

i have a 32gb SEA model.

is there a way to transform it to a generic EUR version and received updates?

i have already flashed german eur v10g-EUR-XX

but on software info it shows "v10g-SEA-XX" and are included branded StarHub Apps and LTE is not working.

tried to flash official 32gb italian rom, but shows as "v10g-GLOBAL-SI", lte is appering but is unselectable,

as it returns to WCDMA/GMS and still there are branded apps...

is there any solution?

i need to have an EUR firmware....
[G3 General] daleski75:
The updates are done by IMEI so no matter what your phone will always be SEA and sorry you cannot change SEA to EU as far as I am aware.
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
oh ****...

so no way to install EUR rom?
[G3 General] daleski75:
You can install any D855 rom but you just won't get OTA updates for anything but a SEA version.
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
ok but why if i flash v10g-EUR-XX from firmware threads

i get on software info v10g-SEA-XX (and not v10g-EUR-XX) ?
[G3 General] daleski75:
The suffix/model does not change when you flash a kdz.
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
ok, so if i understood, there is no solution? :(

i'm going to re-send back phone as it have to be a european model, but seller sent me a sea version :(
[G3 General] jah:
I assume this problem is true for all SEA devices used in Europe, that is, non LTE connectivity unless you use temporary activation with code 3845#*855#
[G3 General] saud__19:
I already have the same issue with no solution. I have a Eur and i am already in Saudi Arabia. whenever i flash AME kdz it reverts back to Eur. never get LTE option in networks and i hate the service menu. so the only solution i found is installing the new i kdz.
[G3 General] shmuelw:
I do own SEA 32GB phone but it is general SEA unbranded so no Star-Hub apps and it does have LTE / 4G which is auto activated. Try to flash this rom and it might solve the issue as it is still SEA rom.
[G3 General] zapford:
Hello, which ROM should i flash? I have an AME phone with no LTE in the options, i want to use in Russia...we have LTE here.
[G3 General] saud__19:
Yes my device is unbranded Eur version. but still no luck to instal AME kdz. as what i mention before the only solution is the leaked i kdz.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

I recently did this for a friend. He had an SEA 10e firmware on his G3 and I flashed the 10g italian firmware to his phone without any problems. He wasn't getting 4G on Vodafone UK earlier, but after flashing the new firmware, he gets it. I've seen a couple of people doing this as well. I just followed the guides posted here to flash the firmwares.
[G3 General] jah:
Any one know why these D855 devices from different regions cannot be used in other regions for LTE? I wonder if this is like the region lock on the Note 3 to allow Samsung to restrict warranty cover?
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
no way to enable LTE...

now i have V10i-GLOBAL-SI
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
it seems to be locked by "ltesettings.apk" background app...

i'm not sure, but every g3, could be used with every lte band...
[G3 General] DYNAMIC+:
any other idea?

(i cannot root device)

if i cant resolve i have to change device...
[G3 General] maneck35:
I'm not sure why you can't enable LTE. Maybe it's carrier dependent or maybe not. If you're not happy I'd suggest switching your device.

Hi,

Thanks to FauxSound we can get volume increase for our M8. However it needs Fauxaudio kernel modifications. Do you know if there is a way to get it to work on a 4.4.3 Sense ROM ?

Flash a sense kernel that's has faux sound support. Please use the Q & A section for questions as this is not development related.

[Verizon LG G3] XXchocolatetouchXX:
Hello guys,

One disadvantage to the Health app LG included is that you need to have the smart bulletin running on your homescreen to use it. Well not anymore!!

What I did was make an app that will launch the LG Health app. I used Tasker and just exported a simple app to do this! I will share it here for everyone that wants to use the LG Health app but does not want to have the smart bulletin enabled. So far for me it is working fine.

Just download and install the app and to open you just open your app drawer. If you wish to uninstall, mine is version 1.0, which would be an easy distinguishing factor in the app manager, also mine is a smaller sized app than the actual health app.

Just thought I would share because I am sure some people are limited here and would like this setup. Any questions let me know I will be glad to help!
[Verizon LG G3] distortedloop:
Any of the shortcut making apps on the play store can do this. I did it that way. Many launchers will, too.

Thanks for the effort, though.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
Really? Can I create a shortcut to LG Health using Nova? If so, how?
[Verizon LG G3] Groundhound:
Long press > shortcuts > activities > LG Health
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:

[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Any way to do this in Themer?

I've found you can long hold the desktop and go to advanced/shortcuts, but I don't see Activities in there.
[Verizon LG G3] XXchocolatetouchXX:
I understand that, but some people may not, and this also adds it to their app drawer which is a small convenience.

Just throwing it out there as an option.
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
On Nova launcher, I just have it set as a nova activities widget. Works great. Icon is what it looks like as a shortcut with the circle case.

Just go to widgets, add the activities widget (might require nova prime), and choose LG health. Done.
[Verizon LG G3] neckbonest:
install apex launcher but make themer your default launcher. this will give you an activities shortcut. there you will find LGhealth.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. This won't put it in my App Drawer though will it? Using themer, I hate putting shortcuts on the screens, it is too perty.

I'm trying to get Themer to make this possible, they don't understand right now.
[Verizon LG G3] alanxr:
Hi everyone,

You can also download the Any Cut app from the Play market to achieve this. At least that's how I did it.

Open the App ---> go to activities and select LG Health from the list.

The only drawback for some could be that it doesn't get the shortcut to the app drawer. But that may no be an issue for everyone.

Hope it helps
[Verizon LG G3] neckbonest:
it wont put in your app drawer but you can make a second screen like me and put other stuff on that one
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
This started a few days ago. The phone is running a GPE Rom, unlocked and s-on and randomly restarted on me Monday night. The same ROM has been on the phone for months. I have updates set to off and have not installed anything before this happened for days.

The device reboots when trying to change something in internal memory - ie uninstalling an app, or going to running processes in settings>apps

After the reboot any changes made between boots are gone. I can delete widgets, send messages, phone calls etc and all of them are gone. The phone boots in the same state as it was in at the first reboot from Monday.

I went into TWRP and tried to wipe and reinstall ROM - no dice. The device reboots into the last state. any rom install fails with a symlink error. I have tried to sideload adb and it fails. tried to restore and it fails. tried to fastboot oem reboot ruu and the device just restarts to the lockscreen. It is like there is no memory changing state at all. Tried to run ruu from hboot - no dice. reboots back to same lockscreen. I cannot seem to get the ruu exe to download from htc or I would try that.

I have also tried to flash the stock recovery to the phone to wipe and start from scratch - no dice. I am at a loss as to what to do. Also the phone reboots frequently when plugged into the computer - not nearly as much when standalone (although I can force the failure by looking at running apps or trying to uninstall an app)

If the uninstall doesn't reboot the phone, it shows the app is gone. Once I reboot it is back. I have searched and tried everything in the last two days. Help please

I sold my M7 and don't get my M8 till tomorrow so I can't really test much but it sounds like something is not setup right. Maybe try doing s-off? Try running unlock command again? If nothing else, you can try the AT&T RUU by rebooting in RUU mode but it may not work due to being unlocked. I haven't seen yet but is there a complete RUU for GPE that you can try?

Just to double check, you installed HTC Sync Manager for drivers and then uninstalled it, right?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
Yes I did.

I cannot use firewater because its says something about an ota update and you are screwed.

Bought sunshine and ran the app but it dissapears after the reboot so it can't finish the install to turn soff. Screwed there too. Ruu mode just reboots the phone and it loads the rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
You trying to boot in all these modes that just restart the phone is something that usually happens on a stock phone that is not unlocked. I may be wrong but it seems like something behind the scenes jacked with your unlocked status and phone is confused and went in some limp mode? I'm no expert by any means but it seems like it is software related. What all did you change since you got the phone other than unlock and twrp?

You need to get the ruu exe fully downloaded.

Just a shot in the dark, but while connected to a Windows PC, find the internal memory in Device Manager and format it (backup any important personal data first). If its a memory corruption issue, this should fix it.

Yes. I cannot download it. if you look at the end of that thread people are having issues downloading it. I contacted HTC yesterday and they said they will pass it along to the technical support people. No ETA on when they get it fixed.

Yes. That is the RUU that you hboot. an0ther and I were talking about that one a few pages back. it will not run through - it just takes me back to the hboot menu after 2 bars run at the upper right corner
