[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
An unlocked bootloader essentially means we can't flash recovery and thus can't install custom ROM's and kernels as of now. Which in terms of "level of customization" means that we can't flash ROMs based on AOSP builds like CM or PA etc.

So for now we're stuck with the stock LG ROM. But having said that, we have root and then Xposed framework. So we can then pretty much customize everything on the stock ROM. Using G3 Tweaksbox Xposed module you can theme about most of the SystemUI elements. That include statusbar icons, color, navigation bar icons and colors, Phone app, Messaging app, Settings, etc. There are tons of Xposed Modules out there to do pretty much almost anything you'll get on a custom ROM by default.

With the Tasker app you can automate almost every action, with Greenify you can hibernate automatically most apps that you run in the background & if you give it root access it can pretty much greenify useless System apps as well.

In short, while you can't *completely* customize everything and completely get rid of some of the crap that OEMs put in, with Xposed Framework & modules and with some really nifty build.prop tricks you can get pretty close to being satisfied with the customizability of your phone.

If you're new to Android though and have never tried custom ROMs you'll be amazed at the sort of stuff that even just root access can do and once we get the bootloader unlock, you'll get even more blown away with flashing new ROMs and checking them out.

Google a bit for something like "Best Root apps for Android" and you'll find that most well known Android blogs have listed the majorly used apps and what you can do with it. You'll get a pretty good idea :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
Thanks for the info!

Another question, what is exactly the xposed framework?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Taken from the Xposed website, I believe this explains it pretty nicely :)

To clarify a bit more, you first root your phone, install Xposed Installer, install the Xposed framework from the Xposed installer and then download & install xposed modules. 'Modules' are essentially just like apps that you install and then enable from the Xposed Installer app. These modules hook into the Xposed framework and can do stuff like root apps can - UI modifications, extending capabilities of default apps like Phone, Messaging, etc.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

You can find the Xposed XDA subforum here - http://xdaforums.com/xposed
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
xposed is an app that exposes the core of your operating system (it exposes them to modules made for xposed) to allow modifications that you normally can't do without custom roms.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
Thanks so much for the extra information. It does, however, leads me to a follow up question.

There's a tool posted here on the forum, called TweakBox, I think. My question is, are the customizations available there a derivative from the xposed framework?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Yes. The G3 Tweaksbox is an Xposed Module like I mentioned. You can install the app from the play store or get the apk from the thread and install it manually. You'll need to have Xposed Framework installed before that though.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
One thing I can't seem to figure out here, those modules, do they come with the framework, or does it supplement tools for developing them?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
The modules can be obtained independently from XDA threads or from the playstore. These are essentially Android apps which use the Xposed modules APIs to achieve there purpose.

Think of the Xposed Framework as a layer that allows apps(referred as modules) to do stuff by exposing some methods that they can use. (I'm trying my best to explain here without being too technical)

What you need to do is to install the Xposed Installer app, open the app and install the xposed framework from it. That will deploy the framework on the OS. You can then install the modules either by finding them on XDA or again by opening the Xposed installer app and going into the downloads section (you can access a whole repository of modules from thr Xposed installer itself. That being said, it's not the only place to find these modules.)

Once you download the modules and install them like you would any APK, you'll need to enable the module(again from the Xposed Installer app) and reboot your phone. The module would now be active and can be used like any Android app.

The best way to learn is to experiment. ☺ Xposed is quite safe and will not brick your device unless you do something really stupid.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
I actually do have some experience with linux and some with programming.. So basically the framework allows you to use APIs you otherwise wouldn't be able to use?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
You meaning the module developer. Yes. Check out the Xposed XDA subforum, there used to be a module developer guide in there somewhere.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
Say, is this framework for all android devices?

Or are these modules specific for each device?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
The Xposed framework is generic. AFAIK it works on all rooted android phones.

hi guys, im from Australia and just received a moto360 from the States. However, after i paired it with my htc one m8, the watch keep showing "something went wrong. try again?". That message can never be dismissed. I've also tried paring with my sony z1 and same issue happened. Also, i've got the same watch for my partner, and both mine and his are having the same issue.

[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
ok don't worry, your phone will be all right but you may lost your data,

Download stock rom from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com.

search for it, site address may have typing mistake.

with odin flash the stock rom to your device.

Good luck

I tried several methods to solve this issue related with " Restore imei " none of them worked...

Don't know how to deal with corrupt efs... any help ? I dont have efs backup for my phone, is there anything that can b done to restore efs and imei ...

Thank You

[General Questions and Answers] Syedqwerty:
On YouTube u can get it

Restore efs In star pro/plus gts7262 without backup and pc syed hussaini (just type this).
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
Hello, first off, creating swap partition is a partition where the device stores ram data allowing it to act like you extended your ram

Second, MTKDroid IMEI restoring method does work only on MTK devices, NOT android

from what i can see, you have lost your IMEI

first of, we are going to try flashing the repair firmware.

it's a zip file that contain all the flashable

partitions for your device.

you will just need the AP/PDA file from it and try flashing it

try this one : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087009234

about the imei, I've read in a post that in case your imei is still there you can backup the current efs then wipe the efs partition then restore efs using twrp but try with the 4 files repair frimware first

And keep in mind that a "What's the best ROM?" thread is not allowed on xda ;)

[HTC Desire V] eltonskodi:
hello guys,

please anyone help me.

i have an htc desire u dual sim. i am writing here because there are no solutions around this device so htc desire v is the most similar to mine. so i wanted to install european languages on it. i first unlocked the device. and then rooted it or flashed recovery on it, i don`t know excactly what i have done and the device now is broken. it has stuck on boot screen showing red letters and the half screen is shadowed (grey colour) .it is rebooting all the time till i take the batery off. please help me what to do. thanks in advance (sorry for my english)
[P3600 General] yegor:
Firstly, id like to say I like the device... its pretty sleek, but I am having some problems.

1. The battery inductor is rather strange. Its showing 100%, and its not going down... I got Wifi running for the past 20 mins.... its still 100%. If thats true.... thats gotta be the best battery I ever had, but somehow I doubt thats the case.

2. I cant sync Avantgo. It just randomly interrupts in mid-sync (usb), or doesn't even start syncing at all (via Wifi).

Also... is there a way to not install the extended rom? I remember not installing it on a Jamin increased speeds, since it came with a lot of useless software. Is that the case with the p3600?
[P3600 General] iantaylor27:
Hi

What colour did you buy? if black r you getting any peeling etc?
[P3600 General] yegor:
Black.... I got it 5 hours ago, so I cant say.
[P3600 General] lmjabreu:
yeah, the battery status is different from other devices(WM5 characteristic?), the bar has steps of 10% instead of 1%, a 91% charge is displayed as 100%, 87 as 90% and so on.

iantaylor27: mine is black and still hasn't peeled, 3,5wks.

As for the ext rom, I believe a soft-reset as soon as you see the countdown will prevent the installation.
[P3600 General] yegor:
Naw, the battery status isnt because of WM5. My Jamin was showing the battery in steps of 1% and was very accurate. Ive also noticed some heating issues... when I got wifi blasting, the back of the device heats up quite a bit, and if I set the Wifi mode to max performance, its even hotter. How much Wifi usage time do you usually get? I managed to kill the battery in about 1.5 hours with wifi running playing with my new phoneand morphgear emulating a GBA rom at the same time.
[P3600 General] kimusan:
Mine has been one for 3.5 hours now where it is connected to my wifi and checks mail regulary (once every 5 mins.). Still has 30% of the battery left.

When I use an ftp client to fetch larger files to my trinity I do however both feel the increase in heat and see that it uses the battery a bit faster.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
While surfing with Wifi, my Trinity seems to use about the same amount of battery as my Prophet, in other words, it lasts for hours and hours. I'd have to surf all day long to burn up a fresh battery. I've never used up the battery in one day.

[HTC One X] advayush:
For last two months or so, the situation in my two years old international HTC One X is that the data is not connecting when it is on 3g network but it is working absolutely fine with 2g network. when its connected to 3g, the mobile network fluctuates, data works with 3g speed for only few minutes and signal drops out. In simple terms, on 3g it fluctuates in data access and network access whereas on 2g it works absolutely fine.

I have changed two 3g enabled sim of different carriers they are also performing the same way in my HTC one x. I have changed the location of the phone, the problem persists. My sim also works fine with another handset in 3g as well as in 2g. So the conclusion is that there is fault with my HTC one x but the question remains what is the fault. Whether software or hardware. I have also done the factory reset but to no avail and I have also switched to custom rom but the problem is still there.

Any solution would be of great help.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
I took delivery of my Z3 Compact yesterday, replacing a Moto G. Lovely phone but I am seeing issues when swiping between home screens, swiping between pages in apps like the dialler, and swiping to unlock. When unlocking for example, it doesn't always work: I see the particle trail following my finger but the phone doesn't register this as a swipe. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts to unlock. This is odd. Similarly, swiping left/right to switch home screens is hit and miss and the pages often bounce back. It's quite frustrating. Are there any settings that could be affecting this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
Can't confirm this for my Z3C, works as expected. Not sure, but could it be you turned on glove mode in screen settings (though this would make the screen even more sensitive)?

I need to swipe the pattern to unlock my phone several times if I use my left hand. With my right hand I only need to swipe once. I wonder if I used my right hand to swipe the pattern originally. No trouble swiping for the rest.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormbeta:
I only seem to have this issue with the PIN entry - for whatever reason, the phone responds quite slowly when entering PIN, to the point I have to wait about half a second between each digit. My Moto G, a much slower phone, responds instantly when entering the PIN digits.

I ended up switching to a pattern that mimicked my PIN entry motions, as the pattern swipe seems to respond properly.

Kind of weird, since the rest of the phone is very snappy and responsive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
I don't have the glove mode on bh5 the screen seems super sensitive, maybe too much. Also in combination with a different phone size than what your hand is used to. This is how I explain some weird swipes. A few times I swiped and the screen moved, then bounced back. I think we probably have to use wider/stronger swipes? I'm sure I'll get used to it. I remember the same thing happened a few days after I got my previous phone. I think it's a matter of getting used to the sensitivity of the screen. I don't think there is something wrong with it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enrico2828:
I have the same problem. I even returned my first Z3 compact, but now the second one has the same problem.

When I am using my phone one handed with right hand and swipe with my thumb from left to right pages would oftentimes not turn or bounce back. Occasionally swipe right in is executed even though i just did a normal swipe right.

Swiping in 2 handed mode with my index finger seems to be PERFECTLY alright.

This is REALLY annoying!!! Does anyone have a clue if this is a software or hardware issues? Could the displays be faulty in design or is it something they can repair in a software update.

I am willing to wait for a software update, but if its hardware I'd like to return it right away. I have owned plenty of touchphones over the year, I have never experienced anything like this!
