[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radiohead84:
Please forgive me for the Noob question. This is my first time having a device with an unlocked bootloader so I'm not used to searching or even discussing custom kernels. Just wanted to do the smart thing and ask questions before I do something that could potentially cause harm to my phone. I would really like to test one out and experience the added benefits, but it looks like development for the Droid Ultra is slim. Do any of you guys know of a Custom Kernel that works with the Droid Ultra? I am currently on Snakes's Venom 4.4.4 Moto X Port Build #96. My current Kernel version is: 3.4.42-gb444bf1-00004-g6b785f7. I downloaded "Faux123 Kernel Enhancement" and within the Kernel Download section, there are a few downloadable kernels. "ghost-faux123-kk443-012u.zip" being one of them. Are these safe to use on my device? Thanks a head of time for any help!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
I don't believe there are any custom kernels for the droid ultra/maxx/mini. The kernel you are looking at is, I'm pretty sure, for the Moto X. You could use it but you'd also need a moto x ROM, and bootloader maybe, (it's been a while since I had one of these devices) for it to work.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hijjt:
The rom you are currently using is a Ghost Rom with modifications to make it run on the Maxx/Ultra. The kernel that it uses isn't a maxx kernel, and won't run with a maxx boot.img.

While safe is a really relative term... With an improper kernel one of the worst problems you could have is not being able to boot, or a boot loop. If you make a backup before you start, you should be able to flash back to the backup and be working again. The faux123 kernel was originally said to work for the maxx also, same kernel.

All of that said, insert general disclamer here... (I take no responsibility for what you would like to try on your phone, I am however flashing it now)

edit: I flashed and it boots fine, I will let you know if I find any glaring issues.

edit2: On the stock droid maxx, active notifications aren't working, Your mileage may vary with the TopSnake rom.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Uninstall active display and reinstall it. The kernel is fully compatible with maxx stock Roms
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
This is correct. The port runs the Moto X kernel.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radiohead84:
Ok, thank you guys for the info! I appreciate it!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Wong:
Any new updates with running the faux kernel? I'm about to jump in and try it out also.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Wong:
Answered my own question, Faux's kernel works great with my Droid Maxx running Topsnake's 4.4.4 Moto X ROM. Installed Faux123 Kernel Enhancements and is currently tinkering around with the billion new settings.

[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
I know I've only had this phone a year, but I'm soon selling it as I'm buying a OnePlus One once it is up for preorder. Some of the reasons I'm selling the phone are; Poor LG updates; not so great custom ROM support, thanks to everyone that made them though; not much activity in the forums anymore and lastly, its just getting slower as Android gets newer. Maybe some of you are upgrading soon, if so what are you getting?
[LG Optimus G (International)] etalocohc:
I've done the same upgrade as you are doing. Had the optimus g for a year and a half. Great phone however battery life is disappointing and the occasional BSOD is quite annoying so I now have the oneplus one. Great phone just bear in mind it is a huge phone (same size as the iPhone 6 bendy)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Duo8:
>Poor LG updates

S3 didn't even get 4.4

>not so great custom ROM support

Most popular ROMs out there are ported. They work fine and has everything you'll ever need. Personally I found no problem with ROM support.

>its just getting slower as Android gets newer

Still smooth on my phone. It's just as smooth as any flagship out there.

Unless you're running a nuclear powerplant on your phone I wouldn't say it's "slow"
[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
Well the oneplus one wins it all round for me, 64gb internal is great. Battery life is meh as [MENTION=1895558]etalocohc[/MENTION] pointed out. Also, the camera isn't so good. Its been a rollercoaster.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Avantu:
Maybe you are right, but Optimus G is lot older and cheaper device. Wouldn't say LG updates are poor, stock firmware is great, and they put KitKat on device from end of 2012 which is nice. I can agree with Custom ROMs, they aren't great and not really much for e975, i think there are more ROMs for USA editions of LGOG. Battery life can be decent with good kernel, my phone goes down with voltage to -137,5 which is really good, better battery life and lower heating.
[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
I think most OEMs are supposed to update their phones or at least flagships for at least 2 years. Check your DMs, I asked a question :).
[LG Optimus G (International)] Galileo:
Yes but ROM support sucks, not to bash on devs or anything, but most of the time ROMs are left half working, are then abandoned and another ROMs project starts. Also Gee sources which are used for a lot of ROMs on this device are just not the best I've seen.
[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
At least now Faust93 has ported the kk camera driver. Fantastic progress which means gee ROMs can finally qualify as a daily driver.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Galileo:
There's still the thermald.conf file issue for me, i dont want my phone to be a mobile oven :V
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
Yeah, maybe in some months I will try to find some excuses to change my G phone, for now I'm happy and KK update was fantastic for me.

Most probably I will stay with LG, regarding One Plus One, I don't like the phone size and I will more time to see their hardware quality.
[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
Got my invite tonight and ordering it later ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] 2nd Sky:
Please compare the G with devices from same time (s3) !

We have all roms u need and i think there are much not here at xda! Chineese dont often use xda because they cant english and are not interested!

And its great to see that one rom works for many models (f180, e970, ls 970..)

Yea one point: i think our g/device trees can more when we have better support with the right devs (we have good devs! They can build roms and fix errors and im happy! But i think device tree has more potential)

Battery life is for me great, i dont belive on wonders and see it in comparison with other devices!

I love my G and i will buy/replace backcover instead to buy a new phone! Theres no different.. I also can replace battery, no problem...

Camerais good! But my backcover has scratches and thats ehy quality awful and high senitivity by lights...

Opo is for me to big!

And hey, we have kitkat, its newest os! 4.4.2. 4.4.4 update makes no sense.. Find differents!

Only one i hate on lg: dont know if we can see g3 ui in future and we have no knockOn or knockCode! Lowend devices are on 4.2.1 but became update in that time with the knockon feature while we have waited for kitkat

Well, it's a bit sad that I am putting my OG up for sale... I love this phone, but a great deal on a G2 was too good to pass, so I am moving on. :) All of you that are still using an OG, or considering getting one -- have fun and enjoy it, this puppy has plenty of life left in it, and it's still an awesome device today. :svetius:

Thank you all who helped me along the way, the community support here on XDA is great!
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
Oh, G2 has silly problems. I hope you won't regret. But, wish you the best anyway ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I know this is an offtopic here, but I am wondering if you have any pointers to such problems. I haven't perused G2 forums yet, but definitely planning to do it. I am not planning to do any heavy modding; still, would be interested to know what to look out for... :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
Well, first of all a little signal issue, then something like BIOS battery problem! I mean if you turn the device off at night your settings will reset! Even if you don't turn it off, in the morning you notice it's not silent while you'd switched to silent mode.

Camera lens cover is aweful in quality which will heck your picture quality up. Battery life on kitkat is at least 20 percent worse than JB. Screen has two types which requires two types of kernel. Poor build quality comparing with OG. Risky to put in pocket. Screen yellow tint in many cases when it gets hot. And some other problems that I don't remember now. Oh the soft buttons. They are a real pain. You can't hide them and they are always present in every apps and games.
[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
Even with a OnePlus One, I'll sorely miss my G, with so little amount of people in this forum, its such a tight community which I love. I'll still be around for help, just won't be able to test unless I keep my G alongside my One, still considering it ;).

Snapdragon AT&T Samsung Galaxy Alpha Antutu score
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
Well those Benchmarks on the Exynos 8 core are great.

Unlike Galaxy S4 Octacore Version , on Alpha , the

Octacore Version can use all 8 cores at once under

Peak CPU Loads.

However, this is all academic because there are only

2 different Versions of Alpha for North America LTE and they are both Qualcomm Quad Core , one for AT&T

and one for Bell in Canada.

The Bell Canada version is available unlocked and

SEEMS to have all the bands for 3G, 4G, LTE on Tmobile USA , a great loophole.

See my thread on new Samsung Battery for Alpha also.

I am researching Alpha vs Z3 Compact for myself.

I am very curious if anyone is getting full LTE Service on EXYNOS ALPHA in USA ?

EDIT : For the past 4 months I have had the International Unlocked 850M which has all the Metro PCS/Tmo Bands except the new Band 12 and much better Speaker than qualcomm AT&T version.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
10ks m8,I realy like to see that result
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] InfiniteShade:
So one could essentially take the Bell Canada version, root/unlock it, then be able to use T-Mobile's LTE networks? I know the International version doesn't support LTE with T-Mobile so I've been looking for a workaround with the Bell or AT&T versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
Yes.

This one is being sold unlocked by Canada GSM and has the LTE Bands for,TMO/Metro PCS and I am no expert but in Reframed Areas the 3G band of 1900 is key.

TPhe 4G LTE and 2 G Bands are present.

I have not dealt with Canada GSM before but suggest a,

Pay Pal or Credit Card Transaction.

Canada GSM has told me via email that this is an Unlocked Canada Bell Alpha with no branding .

http://canadagsm.ca/products-Samsung-Galaxy-Alpha-SM-G850W8-Metal-Unlocked

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700/ 1900 / 2100

4G & LTELTE 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 2600, 700, 850

See these LTE Bands which are not listed on the AT&T Version ?

Should perform well on TMO according to a few sources.

Rooting will not be necessary to be on TMOBILE but you need to find out about that. I would guess Bell Canada would lock the Bootloader on these to prevent

unauthorized , unregulated Hotspot use ?

You can email Canada GSM and ask.

Again use paypal or reversible transaction in case they do not ship or return necessary etc.

This Phone should also be available from the Source and other Canadian Retailers as a Prepaid Locked Canada Bell Device, which you can unlock and use

here in USA on TMobile.

EDIT: I have confirmed with BELL CANADA , that their Alpha supports 3G 1700 AWS band also, so perfect for TMOBILE USA if you unlock.

Bell will not sell outside Canada but will sell outright IF you are in Canada.

Theoretically you can purchase an AT&T Version in USA IF you can find AT&T non Corporate Store that will sell without a Contract at $612. BUT then you need to

Unlock ( carrier unlock) but the Bands do not look right for TMobile.

The one sold at Canada GSM is an unlocked BELL CANADA Alpha 801 perfect for TMobile here,

EDIT: I just purchased the Alpha 850 M which IS an

Octacore CPU factory unlocked and made specifically for North America, Central and South America and the Caribbean.

Box says: " American SIM CARD ONLY , this Product is only compatible with a SIM Card issued from a Carrier in the Americas (North, South, Central, Caribbean)."

IF a SIM card outside the Region is used, you must first make a 5 minute call with American SIM THEN insert

the "foreign " SIM.

First Paragraph is Quote, second I paraphrased.

I find the Octacore faster, and.surprisingly the Speaker is louder and fuller than AT&T Version by far.

On mine it sounds about like ONE of the HTC One Speakers, if there were 2 on this Alpha , it would be almost as loud as HTC ONE M 8 but a little less bass.

Not sure if it is Seiren Audio Chip in the Exynos or I just got lucky, but this Speaker is not tinny like AT&T versions I heard.

Also as many have said, a bit snappier due toExynos and factory unlock.

Hello everyone. I finally joined the site after months of using it as a valuable learning resource.

I am looking for ideas on an app to make, specifically for an in-car tablet set-up. I have a nexus 7 permanently installed in my car and have designed a couple of apps for it already. I made a custom launcher and a music player already so I have those ideas taken care of. The set-up is still relatively new so I haven't really encountered that "ah ha" moment for an idea yet based on necessity....

If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. I want to start coding but I don't know what to make haha. Thanks in advance!

Go into S Note and change the sync account from Evernote to a Samsung account.

Or I guess make sure both devices have the sync account set to Evernote, if you really want to go that way.

Either way, make sure S Note on both devices is set to sync to the same account.

[G3 General] sabret00the:
Am I the only one that thinks the G3 is a tad aggressive in its throttling? I ask because I've noticed that while playing Clash of Clans, if the screen goes off and I turn it back on instantly, I'll notice the game freezes before the troops start moving again. Anyone have any insight as to why LG opted to kill the GPU/CPU instantly when the screen goes off?

Anyone else noticed it in other apps?
[G3 General] Amb669:
Go into your settings and click on the "Display" tab then click on "Lock screen" scroll down to the bottom and the second last option called "Lock timer" should be set to "5 sec" or higher. If it's on "immediately" then your phone will lock down like fort knox the instant your screen goes off.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
It was already set at 5 seconds. The problem isn't the phone locking. It's that the phone freezes.
[G3 General] GuestK00280:
I think that this is normal. Clash of clans doesn't have "keep awake" permission, so it can't have a wakelock. When screen is off, phone goes to deepsleep unless other wakelocks are present or alarm is triggered. And in deepsleep cpu/gpu go to their respective sleep state, potentialy turning off all cores...
[G3 General] sabret00the:
We're not talking about keeping the device awake though. We're just saying that surely it's sane to wait a couple seconds after the screen goes off to power everything down.
[G3 General] GuestK00280:
I agree with you, this "feature" is frustrating.

But it is a logical decision, that i can understand. This minimises the power consumption, and every bit of power is precious for our g3.

I do not think that there is a good way of fixing that. Maybe some app that will keep a wakelock for 5secs after screen off will help, maybe tasker can do it... Will search for a way of fixing this.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cryptocoder:
Hello,

I've been a BlueAngel (SX66-Cingular Variant) user since a long time. It'd been working great. I re-flashed the original rom several times with the new BA updates/ roms from XDA's Ftp site and they all worked like charm.

ISSUE:

--------

Lately (since a month), I am experiencing some issues with it. It seems to be always searching for Network/ Service, all the time. An ongoing call will get disconnected. And very frequently i'll see a NO SERVICE notification. The NETWORK INDICATOR in the task bar will go to a High Strength and then Searching status. It is usually taking more than 30 mins to search the operator for me to make/ recieve any call. People trying to reach me inform me that my phone is Not Reacheable.

I've reflashed it to different BA ROM combinations but it didn't help.

I dont want to assume that it is a Hardware failure as i didnt do anything which can cause a damage to the instrument.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

What all can i try? What is the BEST SUITED ROM for this Device?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<

>>>>> ONE MORE QUERY :-

My Blueangel Back Cover Shows that this device is PH20B, but the ROM indicates that it is a PH20B1 Device. (This device is actually without a camera) Why do i see a difference here?

>>> USERS in INDIA or NCR Region: Is there any authorised/ recommended place i can get this device serviced?

Any help or suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Try to plug into the power supply and see if it work. Let the phone charge for a while if it doesnt power up when u plug in. Try this and see if it work.

As for the "phone keep searching for operator" problem, I have the same problem too. Whenever I go underground and the phone lost signal, it will take forever to recover the signal. What you can do is to go to "Setting"->"Phone"->"Network" tab and select "Find Network" and the signal should recover.. Note to set the "Network selection" to automatic. I had encountered problem when I set it to manual where the phone will show good signal but call cannot come in.

hope this help...
