Thanks guys. Disabling that feature seems to be the trick!
[Moto X Android Development] jco23:
Yeah, I recall that from problems on custom Roms back in the days of my Samsung droid charge.

[Moto X Android Development] rodohmes:
Thinking of dusting off my X to run this. Has double two to wake been implemented yet? Does the Active Display equivalent work reliably?
[Moto X Android Development] jco23:
Don't know about double tap to wake, but ambient is same as all other cm Roms - working very nicely.

This ROM has worked most efficiently and with best battery life in my experience. But then, I think most are that are on 5.1x
[Moto X Android Development] rodohmes:
I decided to try it and found that there is no dt2w, but agree that ambient display seems to be working well. I think I'm gonna activate service on it and give it a whirl in real life. :thumbup:
[Moto X Android Development] jco23:
This ROM won't disappoint you. However, that being said, it looks like the official 5.1 will drop soon via ota.
[Moto X Android Development] rodohmes:
Yeah, that's what I'm most excited about. I've got the M8 but miss the compact feel of the X'. This ROM feels really nice, though. Gonna take it for a spin. ?
[G3 General] Scytale:
There are many information on the forum in numerous threads about removing bloatware both LG native ones and 3rd party inflicted (Google or Carrier) for all interested parties maybe we should create a list of applications that are considered bloatware/un-needed and are safe to remove.

If a listed app is only carrier based please make a note of it.

As my share:

LG Voice Mate applications (not applicable in my country)

McAffe Security suite

Google extra apps (News, Books, Video, Music)

QTheater (For me useless)

RemoteCall Service - (Remote assistance service but if you are here I don't think you need it :) )

Also a request to more advanced members when providing the applications to provide explanation of what those apps actually do.
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
Here's my screen shots
[G3 General] Schrotty35:
You have many apps frozen and all working without fc?
[G3 General] qbanlinxx:
Everything that is not frozen I'm sure works fine..
[G3 General] Scytale:
Still does freezing so much stuff helps? I think that the apps that actually do something in the back during normal usage should be a priority.
[G3 General] whoamigriffiths:
I have been pretty lost, as to which lg Bloatware I could safely remove, as I've never used a stock rom before :P

I'm trying your suggestions, Thanks very much.

No issues so far.
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
I only freeze things that does background work and I have no use for them or I use alternative apps. I also freeze so i do not see the icons.

As far as if freezing does something, it all honestly depends on the app. the Lg keyboard does wake locks for me or shows under my battery usage so i tend to freeze it (unlock my sammy keyboard which did not)

all of the google apps run in the background so the ones I do not use I freeze.

I do not delete the apks because if an ota comes out will be a pain in the ass to go back to stock without re flashing, which is something i do not want to do.
[G3 General] jtambis6:
Rather than freezing so many apps, I just "Greenify" them.

There are still a few LG apps that I freeze such as Software updates since my G3 is rooted and don't want it automatically updating my firmware.
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
Some app still run and case wakelock greenified...i only greenify pure system apps lol the ones i use i greenify if i dont use it i freeze, including update. the day an update is out will unfreeze lol
[G3 General] -Zork-:
good list, all other apps working without these bloatware? i think the same is the better freeze with TI and geenifie some apps battery wakelock

[General Questions and Answers] sobri46:
I have a samsung note 3 sprint smn900p

I want to translate the system apks like framework-res.apk and secsettings.apk

then I found one of my friend has a same mobile note 3 sprint already translated and same android version 4.4.2

so I copy all of his files completely ( all system files and system apks ) around 2 GB .

and I make a backup of my system using TWRP recovery .

and now I try to install his framework-res.apk , so I copy it to my sdcard and using rootexplore then change the permissions to R-W-R-R and paste the framework-res.apk file to the system/framework folder and it already replaced the old framework-res.apk with the new framework-res.apk which already translated . but the problem I dont see that the mobile make upgrading for the new apk so I go to the new framework and try to install it from rootexplorer but always get a message app not installed.

I change the mount to RO then RW but nothing change only app not installed.

so how to install the new framework-res.apk ?

my second question, can I make a new rom using my friends complete system files and flash it to my mobile ?

thank you
[General Questions and Answers] GreatApo:
Make a backup of your friends phone from its recovery. Restore from yours, wipe data, factory reset and reboot ;) (this way you will lost all your data)

You can also try an advance restore from his backup, restoring only system apps. It may work ;)

Before anything make your own backup.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] sobri46:
Hi, have you try using another mobile backup and restore it from recovery to the other mobile ?

I dont think it will work because each device has different Imei number and different information
[General Questions and Answers] GreatApo:
Can't say that i have done this exactly...

May a backup of your phone, and restore your friend's system. It may work without losing your data.
[General Questions and Answers] sobri46:
what do you mean by loosing data ? if you mean that I will just loose only media files like video or songs or contacts name .

It doesn't matter for me , to loose these files , the most important thing that I want to make sure when I make a restore from my friend backup , I will not brick my mobile and there will not be any problems in my mobile system after restore the backup .

I need someone that has try this method and confirm to us that this method is SAFE.

and tell us what should I choose in the TWRP recovery when I make a backup because there are many options that we can choose like system - modem - efs etc.
[General Questions and Answers] GreatApo:
Yes you may soft brick your phone. You may stuck in a bootloop. That is why you will have your backup. You open your phone into recovery and restore...

I am a CWM user so i can't tell you exactly what options to use.

When you flash a new rom on your phone you will lose all your data in the phone (contacts and app data) not the files in your SD card.

If you restore your friends backup with the his data (not only the system) your phone should be with his data.

Nobody will "put his hand in the fire" for you. I can't tell you that it will succeed 100%. That is why i tell you to make a backup.

For more info, you should better open a topic in your phone's section ;)

P.S.: Soft brick is not a big deal if you know how to deal with it ;)
[General Questions and Answers] sobri46:
so you mean the method will not 100 % success working. that is what you mean. I hope some one that had try this method will give us his experience or I should just make a try and see what will happen.

and I already make a backup for my mobile.

if softbrick happen , if I restore my mobile backup everything will go back normal right ???

by the way my friend mobile still fresh without any data because he just install the custom rom so he will let me to make a full backup from his mobile.

and thank you for your kindness to try to help me with this

Battery life.

Battery life.

Battery life.

This is the main thing you need to test as it will be the show stopper if it cannot perform. Lovely design. Great looking phone but much less battery power - being thinner - than other similar devices. Most devices these days are coming in with well over 2000mah and even up to 3000mah on larger smart phones. This has a mere 1860mah which is a big concern. It's Lithium Polymer rather than Lithium-ion though right?

Some thorough battery tests would be awesome.

Also, can you run Antutu benchmark? Can download and run for free from play store easily. Gives a good idea on performance.

How is the Touchwiz interface. Any detectable lag? Any new features we should know about? What is the camera like?

Thanks. And when will this be available to buy and at what price in UK?

Galaxy Alpha Speakerphone Volume and Camera Quality

I also think the size is great. I wish the phone was about 9 or 10 mm thick to allow a larger Battery, SD Card , larger Camera Sensor.

My questions for you on Alpha are:

How is Speakerphone Volume about like S5 or slightly louder like S4 or quieter than both ?

Edit :GSM Arena Tested Speakerphone Volume which is about like S4 MINI lower than S4 by quite a bit.

However IF you boost Volume with

EQ App or built in EQ can the speakerphone handle the Boost ?

How is reception and call quality ?

Camera photo quality about like S4 , or lesser quality, or almost like S5 ?

Thanks very much .

And tell Samsung I want Alpha Pro 10mm thick, 2400 Mah Battery or more, SD Card, USB 3.0, Camera like Note 4- same price as Note 4. Thanks. lol.

It looks like the alpha holds up pretty well to others in the market. It looks like you will be waiting until this is available on the market before your questions are answered. I havent seen any clones, but they are coming. They do it to every popular smartphone.

Battery life screen on please ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svmpatel:
Well... I bought mine from the Three shop in Liverpool Street Station (UK, just in case) 4 days ago.

I've always liked the iPhone5s' build quality and premium feel, but hated the size and iOS in general and never got on with it, within a week I went back to my trusty Nexus 5.

I've always wished for a mobile that looked as good and felt as good as an iPhone5s but running Android and a bit bigger. This has to be the first mobile I've bought that I have immediately fallen in love with. Samsung seem to have gotten everything right with it "for my requirements". The build quality is excellent, it easily feels high quality in hand, even with the soft touch plastic back.

As far as battery stands, I am not a major power user... On a daily basis, I listen to music via bluetooth to my UE9000 headphones for around 2 hours a day, mostly with the screen off. I play light games (like solitaire) for around 2 hours a day. Make around half an hour of phone calls a day, spend around 2-3 hours a day, on and off, texting/messaging using Hangouts and Whatsapp. Most of the time, the phone is on Wifi either at work or at home and around 3-4 hours on 3G (not got 4G plan yet) while travelling. In this usage, my previous phones (Nexus 4, HTC One M7, Nexus 5) have always lasted throughout the day without dying on me and normally have around 35-50% charge left at the end of the day before I put them on charge at the end of the day for their daily overnight charge. My Alpha has easily kept up to those same stats, resulting in around 45-60% charge left at the end of the day. Yes, the battery CAPACITY may be small, but I think Samsung have done a great job optimising the handset and regardless of the smaller capacity, the handset is just as good with actual battery USAGE.

That's just my two cents based on my experience with this magnificent phone, and I hope that "normal user" insight is helpful to some of you...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RS050377:
[MENTION=637758]svmpatel[/MENTION]

Thanks for your battery report, but you have to keep in mind the different battery sizes: 50% of Alpha battery are not the same remaining mah as 50% on Nexus 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svmpatel:
Oh, trust me... I got that, I guess I'm mainly trying to illustrate that regardless of battery capacity I was still getting quite a bit of battery left at the end of a typical day, whether that is 35-50% of Nexus 5 2300mAh (805-1150mAh left at end of day) or Alpha's 45-60% 1860mAh (837-1116mAh). As you can see, the calculated numbers are pretty close even though the Alpha is drawing from a pool that is significantly smaller than the Nexus 5, which to me shows that the USED power, to accomplish the same daily tasks as done on the Nexus 5, is pretty well managed by the Alpha.

Hope that makes sense... What is in my mind and what I type are not always sane :)

Coming from an iphone 5 to this (via a nexus) how is the metal frame holding up, my iphone 5s metal banding is like cheese and marks so easy hoping this isn't the same
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svmpatel:
Hi, I wish I could tell you, but I honestly only had the iPhone 5s for a week before I got too frustrated with it and ended up giving it back to work and going back to the Nexus 5. Also, I don't think I've really had the Alpha long enough yet to really form an opinion on durability of the metal frame... I'm also very careful with my phone and constantly keep it in a soft fur lined pouch whenever it is not in my hand.

I can tell you that the anodised aluminum frame on the Alpha feels just as good and solid as the sides on the 5s.

I guess time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phositadc:
How slippery is the Alpha?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svmpatel:
From my current use, I'd have to say it doesn't feel slippery to me at all and I get very oily hands at times. That could be down to my hand size and how well I 'naturally' grip items. Everyone is a bit different really. My best advice to you is to go to a phone shop/outlet and hold it for yourself to decide, if that is possible for you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phositadc:
How reliable is the fingerprint scanner? Do you have to swipe your finger multiple times or does it work the first time usually?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] svmpatel:
I'd have to say I'm getting around 90-95% accuracy with my thumb. Maybe once every ten to fifteen swipes don't register right.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phositadc:
Awesome. Not quite as good as Apple, but certainly acceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] engid87:
and what about the charging time? how long does it take to completely charge the phone from 0 (or near 0)?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dbdynsty25:
Picked mine up today (the At&t version in the US)...used it for a while and to go from 30% to 100% it took a little over an hour. Quite impressive really. Charges much faster than my G3.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] engid87:
perfect, thanks! Probably the faster charging time is due to the smaller battery (if you think about it, the alpha's is almost half of the g3's)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phositadc:
What's the accuracy like on the fingerprint scanner for you? As good as the guy above?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dbdynsty25:
Not even close. It's terrible. I turned it off. I have to use the password to unlock my phone at least 40-50% of the time. Not worth the hassle IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phositadc:
That sucks, but thanks for the info.

Just getting used to the size factor. Needed one could feel comfortable putting in my pocket. Like the screen. Looks good even though it is 720p I don't notice it much coming from my last phone which was 1080p.

Now just need to find a way to root it. I don't want to pay to have to tether or use as a wifi hotspot through AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cybropm:

I just got one of these to test out and the size and feel is awesome. Screen looks great for 720p dont even care that its pentile

Im running it with a spigen screen protector fits awesome. also trying out the neo hybrid case...definitely a nice combo even if it take away from the metal feel. still super slim and feels great.
