CouldyG3 is a port of G3 interface for the G2, that is, it is meant to be used on the G2, but makes its interface look like the G3 and brings some extra features (which you can check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783192)

While there are dual boot options for having different ROMs at the same time, I've never used it. I usually do a full backup with recovery, so I have the stock OS in case i want to go back or the flashing doesn't work, and then I just flash the new ROM, if it works and I like it, I just keep it, knowing i have a complete backup saved on my phone in case anything goes wrong.

(The full backup I'm refering to is done through the custom recovery you will install, either CWM and TWRP have this functionality, I't backs up EVERYTHING, and thus takes considerable space, but is still worth it.)
[General Questions and Answers] ryan012:
When I open Autorec at top it says Kitkat recovery installer. Continue, yes or no.

When I click yes do I get to look at what it will do first or will it automatically start ?

I don't want to mess something up. How do I know which recovery it will install ?

Have you ever had the white lines problem ?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cknewdeal:
Hi Guys,

I have installed the XtreStoLite rom on my Bell 900W8 but for some reason it shows up as 900T. Is this normal? Everything seems to be working fine the only complaint I have is that my reception doesn't seem to be that great. On my previous S4 it seemed better.

I've also flashed the proper bootloader and modem as detailed in the OPs post #4.

PS - I'm posting here because I don't have sufficient privilege to post in that Rom's thread.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Probably because your custom ROM was based on a 900T. It's normal for various custom ROMs to show up as another model. e.g. if you install the Phoenix ROM it will show as 900F regardless of whether your phone was originally a 900W8, 900T, 900F, etc.

It doesn't affect much and most people wouldn't be worried about it. If it bothers you for some reason you can edit build.prop to make it show 900W8 or whatever you want.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobmaster:
So for the longest time, my Note 3 always lagged a bit with 1080p videos, but a few days ago when I just updated to the newest MX Player, 1080p videos now play perfectly.

A majority of my videos are encoded in 720p mainly because 1080p couldn't play right, but now I'm thinking of re-encoding all my movies in 1080p. My question is will it make a difference in quality? I can always tell the difference in quality when I watch on my 42 inch TV since there's some distance between me and my TV, but when I watch my videos on my phone, I usually have it in front of my face pretty close. Would a video in 1080p make a difference to a 720p video even on a small 5 inch phone? I can tell a huge difference between another one of my phone which is 4 inch (480p) vs my Note 3 (720p) when playing videos. I just want to know if there is no real difference, I was going to keep 720p because 1080p videos are damn huge.

Sorry for the long question. Kudos to anyone who has any knowledge on this subject.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
The fact is 1080p will technically appear better than 720p. Whether or not you notice the difference will depend on how well your eyes are attuned to high pixel images. While I've never done a comparison on my note 3 I have clearly noticed the difference on an 8in tablet. I can notice pixelation on 4k images and higher but I've been exposing my eyes to them for years now. I honestly don't think it would bother you (or me) if watching videos, but if you are ocd like me and have the original files at higher resolution with the storage space I would probably make all my videos the highest res available based on the original (understanding that without high end video editing software there is no benefit to increasing resolution beyond the original).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobmaster:
Oops I forgot to mention. I actually never had problems with 1080p videos. It was always the ones that were encoded in 10bit + 1080p that lagged. With the latest version of MX Player, SW decoder can actually play the damn thing without much lag. And this is with the subtitle enabled which is pretty amazing.

My eyesight is pretty horrible so maybe I won't notice the sharpness of 1080p much...

Edit - So I tested a few videos. Looks like I overestimated the SW decoding. It's definitely come a long way because there isn't as much as lag as before, but there IS still lag. I actually tested some 10bit 1080p with insanely high bitrates and it lags like a mother still. The lag isn't as bad as before, but it is still there. Guess I will just stick with 10bit 720p for now. No matter how much better 1080p may look, it doesn't beat 720p with perfect playback and no annoying lags.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
You brought up the one thing I forgot to mention about differences between the two, bitrate. When it comes to encoded videos (not on a disc), bitrate is almost everything when it comes to quality. My previous post holds true as long as the bitrate remains comparable. If a 720p video has a significantly higher bitrate than a 1080p video, the 720p will view better in almost every scenario.

I don't know at what point the Note 3 will be unable to support smooth playback, but depending on what format you have encoded your videos will determine the quality. What I do know is that bluray level bitrate if far too high for the Note 3. I would take a guess that somewhere between 3000 - 4000 kbps would be the limited to what the hardware could handle but I could be mistaken. What I do know is that using MP4 (or MKV with MP4 encoding) at around 2k kbps is close to the same visual quality (on smaller screens) as any container using H.264 encoding at 3k-4k kbps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobmaster:
I encode most of my videos in MKV format which is why the bitrate is already high enough. Most of my 720p videos have a bitrate of around 2k-2.5k and that's good enough for me. Most of the 1080p videos are almost triple that amount so I guess it's not surprising that the Note 3 will have some hiccup here and there. Not to mention the size of the files are almost 3-4 times big which isn't really ideal for my small storage.

Anyway, thanks for the helpful reply. Wish I can do HW+ decoding with MX player, but alas that's not possible so I guess I will stick with 720p.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cubantigre180@hotmail.com:
Hello all I am not sure if this it's the right place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone knew or knows of any way to disable permissions for an app. My reason being there's a rise in apps with permissions they have no business having. Facebook messenger for one, scanner radio and many more. I fear that trying to disable certain permissions without properly breaking an app down might break it,like not let u run it. I know this is a stupid subject but if anyone can shed some light on this situation it'd be much appreciated thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Depending on the ROM you can usually be fine disabling permission you genuinely find intrusive. For instance on vanir...

This app does the same thing. Neither of them do more than open the same activity that was found a while back.

I cannot boot to download mode, because my boot loader keeps loading. I have a Sprint LG Optimus G (LS970). The way to get to download mode is when off hold vol down + vol up + power. The way to get into boot loader is vol up + power. When I try to enter download mode, it keeps giving me boot loader mode! And the forum for this phone is no help, so that's why I'm asking here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Download mode is when your turn off the device, hold vol up and plug it into the computer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErraticFox:
Holding vol up and plugging it into the computer does nothing and download mode is when you hold all three and let go of them when the captive lights come on. But it's not working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If it doesn't do anything, then something isn't working right. That's how you get into Download Mode on the G2 (volume up and plug in).

I'd try different cord, port, or computer.

Edit: Sorry, can't read...lol I thought it said Ls 980. For the 970 you need to do volume up AND down while plugging in.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Francky_B:
I tried brining this up on the forum, but a lot of people defended Nvidia saying it was the App developers fault?!

Saying the fault lied with Netflix, Plex and others. Even though these apps work fine on other devices...

One person claims he was able to get it to work with MX Player.

I have a hard time believe that, as I've also tried MX Player, with AC 3 and DTS file, none of them worked.

Could there be some truth to this? If the Tablet manufacturer decided to cheap out an not included hardware decoding for AC 3 and DTS, could Software manufacturer patch it in software?

Though, since I paid 300$ for the damn tablet, I don't see why it would be up to every damn app manufacturer to have to pay for the DTS and AC 3 license and could see why they would never do...

Perhaps if my tablet is rooted, I could install something to cheat this...
