[LG Optimus 4X HD] Captain Sisko:
I have had my Optimus 4X for almost 2 years (will be 2 years at end Oct)

Initial Expectations

Yes it did meet them when I bought the phone. It was fast had an awesome screen removable battery and removable storage.

It has also been brilliant at streaming media to/from compatible devices and plays most types of media files

2 years later does it meet expectations? The phone does what I need it to do but sometimes is a bit frustrating when it wants to pause/freeze so no it is not quite meeting my expectations atm

Long Term Satisfaction

After LG dropped software support and concentrated on their G2 and G3 I'll admit I did feel my device was feeling a little obsolete!! But I have a Galaxy S and S2 running KitKat and will be installing custom ROMs on my LG soon to bring it back up to date and give it a new lease of life

It's quite rugged taking a few drops with little or just bezel chips

Camera - Takes good quality pictures and video

Battery life isn't anywhere near as good - it's been rinsing the battery especially during gaming.

Bad bits

LG support, yes I have had to send it back at LG's expense but the lack of software support doesn't fill me with confidence!!

Camera takes a whilst to get ready to shoot

Phone can warm up a fair bit espec during some games

There have been times I have almost regretted buying it but having a think about it - No I don't regret it
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alekthefirst:
its ****,

- some plastic lost here and there, power button 50% unresponsive, and 60C when watching videos

but i love it. yeah, this thing has a soul
[LG Optimus 4X HD] elwis29:
My 4X looks like new after 1,5 years use. Screen have no any scratch but battery life is shorter about 40%. I always carry it in my pocket without any case. I think that was the best choice for this amount of money.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jrcquinito:
Yo estoy muy muy contento con el 4x. Uso la rom de Zaiben que es perfecta para mi. Saludos
[LG Optimus 4X HD] EB20XY:
For me it is still a nice device.

Even battery works like others of my friends.

(but I use profiles either with pure 2G for telephony and battery saving or 3G-only for surfing)

We have newest ROM state and still 4-5 cores are state-of-the-art and only LTE is missing.

Camera ist working OK, but not high-end

and GPS sometimes great and sometimes bit "curious".

Overall , I am still happy and will wait for bigger differences to newest phones in the market until I will switch.

So, lets hope for further support on our custom-side ... :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] xaverko:
After 2 years still looks like new device, very satisfied, I am playing with ROMs (MoKee, Beanstalk, Vanir, Nameless, ATM on ZAIBEN RC16), for the time 2 years ago on my opinion best buy device!

Looking forward on new Beanstalk ! :victory::fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hikaru Kenshin:
It's okay, just that it gets lagging and heats up very fast.

Using Vanir nightlies and battery drains fast. Looks like time for a replacement battery =(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Captain Sisko:
So I finally flashed a custom KitKat ROM onto my phone on Friday night - Liquid Smooth

First impressions - I wish I had done it sooner

I have not noticed any pauses or sluggishness compared to the Stock JB ROM

It's improved the Optimus 4X - So far battery life seems a little better but will be putting that to the test

Quadrant and Antutu benchmarks are not as good as stock and I have lost the Smartshare DLNA feature of the stock ROM

And the camera still takes time before it's ready to take a picture especially in low light

How is this related to the happy with my Optimus 4X - It has certainly made me a little happier using my phone now

I have lost a few features but it feels a little more usable now and less frustrating
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AeonDrifter:
For the price, it definitely pays off still

I bought this phone over a year ago, and right away i realized the stock software was glitchy and didn't live up to the hardware specs this phone has. From that moment on i unlocked the bootloader and tested many custom ROMs, be it all the jelly bean versions or recent KitKat developments. I was losing hope of finding a way to make my phone perform properly and have a regular lasting battery life, but recently i flashed Liquid Smooth's KitKat version and it's a complete different phone now. Considering i payed a low price on an amazon sale for it i must say i'm definitely satisfied and won't be moving to a newer one for the time being. That being said all new generations of smartphones are far more advanced both on software and hardware specs so i don't think i'll be hanging on to this phone further than the 1st half of 2015.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Nagass:
I'm getting fed up with it, thinking of getting a Moto G 2014
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ViniLima:
I'm trying every ROM and kernels I can flash to see wich one is the best for me. It's getting hard to find.... :confused:

I tell you, the devs saved this phone with their custom roms, giving new life to it, mainly here in Brazil, where LG stopped the updates on V10C :(

So, yes, I'm satisfied with this phone, but I think that in a near future it'll become obsolete.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] yrxe:
After 3 weeks of using new phone I am sad to say. There are a lot of better devices

I am currently using huawei ascend p7 and it is unexpectedly damn well built. Stock rom is stable and considering the not big battery I managed to get up to 5hours screen time. I was amazed. Even not rooted. All stock.

Happy that I put p880 to the drawer.

The only thing I am missing is flashing cause now it is simply not needed
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GalaxyVolvoZ:
Dont complain about the 4x HD, in 2012/2013 our Device was a hot thing and compared to HTC One X and S3 it hasnt got any big difference.

Everything gets old, thanks 4x hd for your support but at my birthday im gonna buy nexus 6 or lg g3/4
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
It still is, literally. :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] anGel_pLayer:
Haha!! Yeah... Only problem with this device is poor battery, it gets hot and an underwhelming camera... I still love the screen though...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gerciolisz:
I am using OPO now for 2 weeks but i sometimes turning on my p880 to just look how my setup is beautifully working :) and i must say p880 still have its power:)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abysmalxknight:
I'm thinking in replace it if wont recive Android Lollipop, the batery life is poor but i hope with the new runtime machine become better, camera sucks but i've seen worst
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
What do you think ? Will 3 years old device receive update from 4.1.2 to 5.0 ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abysmalxknight:
Cyanogen makes the impossible, possible. whatever, the hope don't hurt anyone
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Captain Sisko:
If we didn't get official KitKat we won't get official Lollipop.

I couldn't install Mahdi ROM for some reason. Currently on Liquid Smooth with Optimus Prime.

Seen a few others like Slim Kat.

I'm a lot happier with my 4X performance anow.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bs360:
I bought it in march 2013... sometimes I regret to don't have chosen S3 (sold a more or less the same price at that time; 310eur VS 340 eur).

The gps (which I use with tomtom and running app) is really crappy
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sketchman16:
Not really.

It's a great idea, but I just can't seem to find a perfect ROM, and that just seems to be the nature of the beast. SlimKat is the best overall so far, but it has camera issues. I use the camera a lot.

CM 11 is coming along, but has battery drain issues that knock it off the list for a DD.

Beanstalk was OK, but data didn't work for me.

I guess indi devs can only do so much. The reality seems to be that it's a tinker toy (you run with nightlys and reflash constantly) or an out-dated (use CM 10 or the stock ROM) nice piece of hardware.

Sad, really.

I think there is a problem that is in focus mode for it to show more clearly the object is blurred background blur or hani / Selective focus camera freezes when you have made does not work?

Hello all

I have an xperia z phone which is currently on 4.4.2 standard sony update and has never been rooted. Unfortunately the phone usb is damaged, i have to charge the phone using a dock.

My question is this can i still root and flash the phone with a broken usb port?

Maybe by copying files onto phone using an sd card?

Any help is appreciated
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
Yes ;)

Use towelroot to root your device. And use this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/app-recovery-twrp-2-4-3-0-lockled-t2190936 app to install TWRP recovery ;) and then flash stock based ROMs :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davexperia:
Thanks for the reply.

there is a OTA 4.4.4 update coming soon to my carrier. If i root my device will this effect my ability to do OTA updates?

Also if you still can do OTA updates on a rooted phones does updating unroot the phone.

You also mention flash stock roms, which current ones do you recommend.

Cheers
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
you can update a rooted phone to 4.4.4

but doing so will unroot it again.

to gain toot access on 4.4.4 after updating you have to flash 4.4.2 kernel root and then flash 4.4.4 kernel

so getting root on 4.4.4 you will need a working usb port

OTA UK 4.4.4 update still not arrived??? gonna try a flash!

Well this over the air update 4.4.4 seems be not arriving. anyone in the UK (on Three carrier) had a 4.4.4 update?

I think i'm going to try flashing this update myself (remember my usb is broken and on stock 4.4.2).

This is the process (correct me if i'm wrong!!)

1. install towelroot and root device (easy just install app)

2. install SU app (again easy just install app and restart phone)

3. install a recovery software (whats the easy way to do this without usb?)

4. download one of the stock roms from the general section of the xperia z forum. (i have noticed there is not a UK version, is this a problem?)

5. copy this rom to the phone using SD card (do i need to copy this rom to the phone or leave it on the SD card?).

6. boot into the recovery software, clear the caches and flash the rom.

I should then have rooted 4.4.4 stock xperia Z.

If anyone has anything to add I would be most grateful of any help or advice.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
You are kinda.... WRONG! here is why:

Step 3: That recovery installing software working only on 4.2.2 because I already tried to install the recovery from it and FAILED on the newer Android versions....

Step 4: those ROMs with UK in the title or any others like that are NOT recovery flashable ROMs. They are pure stock ROMs can be flashed only via flashtool. You can find what you need in the development section.

Sorry to say that...

[HTC One X] HOX-Regie:
Hello,

please help me make my One X useful again.

This weekend I finally managed to update my HTC ONE X (Endeavoru) to Carbon ROM KitKat [CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140821-0206]. My mobile was rooted, but still on 4.0.4 stock:

cid: HTC__102

version-main: 2.17.401.2

I am on a mac. I also have a Nandriod backup from this point available.

By flash stock Jelly Bean firmware, I was finally able to flash Carbon ROM.

Hboot 1.72.0000

kernel: 3.1.10-cyanogenmod+

radio 5.1204.167.31

CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140821-0206

ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.4.8

Now however my phone boots, but:

- WiFI can not be started/enabled neither by the toolbar or in Settings

- Bluetooth does not work (but can be switched on in Settings)

- Finally the internal SD card is not visible in Android (it is there and accessible in USB Mode)

How can I get this KitKat CarbonROM working on my mobile?

if that is not possible, just to be sure do I downgrade back to stock JB?

- by flashing these files? are they okay (no md5 checksums provided)?

Stock Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2)

Download stock odexed 4.18.401.3

Download stock de-odexed 4.18.401.3

Download stock recovery 4.18.401.3

Download stock boot 4.18.401.3

from android-revolution-hd.blogspot
​

- do I need to flash the boot image separately?

I hope you can help me. Thanks!

are you flashed the boot.img from rom archive via fastboot?

./fastboot flash boot boot.img this is the command for mac you need fastboot for mac and that is all flash the boot.img and report

Hello Thant,

Thank for your reply.

I did flash the boot.img via fastboot, but not the first time. I didn't, when i flashed the Jelly Bean update [but then the bootloader was locked]. I will try the whole process starting from ICS again, with a newer Carbon nightly and report back.

Best regards

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
Is it just a kernel module? And if so can you find the source? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

I dug through flar2's repo and found it in one of his kernels. I'll play around and see, I'll probably just post up something for whoever to test if I can get something built.

Looks like it was already in the kernel source used for aosp builds. Try this one I built, I added exfat and compiled with gcc 4.7 but other than that it's the same as in cm/vanir.boot.img
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeymon:
The modules needed for Cifs support is cifs.ko, md4.ko and nls_utf8.ko.

My efforts to get a set of these which working with the Shield Tablet have yielded no results. If I had a set of compatible modules compiled for the Nvidia Shield, then thats all I would need to get Cifs working on the pre-existing Kernel, by using the insmod option within Cifsmanager to load all three modules.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
Have you found the source for them?

Looking into the source I am seeing nls_utf8.o and md4.c, which I would think would be compiling them with the kernel but maybe a config/make file needs to be changed somewhere.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeymon:
Only sources I know of are the ones Nvidia have provided. I don't really know much about compiling kernels and such. What I know about Cifs modules comes from my JXD S7800B when I needed to figure out how to get that to work. In the end another figured it out and provided a guide and I followed that guide. But he did the really hard part in getting the compatible versions of those modules for the JXD S7800B.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
If I end up making any progress while playing around I'll post it but I don't use it and I've been pretty busy lately so I can't guarantee anything. Its just odd that it looks like the necessary pieces are in the kernel source for the kernel I posted.
