[G3 General] exocetdj:
Read the forum rules again i think mate. This is a comparison thread so it will be deleted/closed. Useless asking the mods not to delete, rules is rules as they say (and no they are not meant to be broken here lol)

u are best off going to phone comparison websites and making your own decision because the M8 is going to win hands down in the m8 forum and the G3 will win hands down in the G3 forum.

Oh yeah..........., reported
[G3 General] dondavis007:
If you can live with a smaller mp. Camera go for the M8. Only one single thing is better on the G3, the camera. I've had booth and one of the easiest choice ever.
[G3 General] RADRaze2KX:
There's no comparison here, I'm asking for questions on the G3 only. M8 questions were left in the M8 forum. If you think this is a comparison thread, you didn't take the time to read the post in its entirety. I've used XDA for over a decade, no need to remind me of the rules, thanks.
[G3 General] meyerweb:
The G3 has a removable / replaceable battery, which is a big part of the reason I chose it. I also much prefer the appearance of the G3, with the very small bezels and no empty black space on the screen.

Yes, the G3 lags a bit, but if you're comfortable with rooting (a very simple process on this phone) it can be fixed easily.

I can't address the speed of updates, as this is my first LG phone.
[G3 General] hack14u:
I have both and keep switching back and forth. It is a tough decision. The M8 is easier to handle, sounds better, the cam isn't that bad, and it is fast. HTC is also way faster than others on updates. And, well, you can unlock bootloader and do what you need. G3, screen is awesome, feels good in hand, camera is wow. I used to defend the speed of the G3, but after going back to the M8 for a month, yes, there are lags. I am one of those that really believes that the lag issues will be taken care of with an update, and at this point I think LG is waiting for L, and will take care of it then. It's a tough one, but overall as a serious keeper, I think I would pick the M8 because of updates, and well, it just looks cool and a year from now it will be still cool.
[G3 General] GTCC:
After being with windows phone for some time now and getting back into android I found the M8 to be as close to windows for speed and smoothness. I also got the 1+1 and G3 and even though the G3 has the most lag of the 3 of them I still sold the M8 and 1+1 after having the G3 for just over a week.

The screen is better than the other two(especially the 1+1) but the overall size of the phone is perfect, I found the 5" screen to be just too small but that could be down to the fact that my other main phone is a Nokia 1520

I find the G3 easier to use than the other two with one hand because I tend to hold the phone in my right hand with my little finger under the bottom of the phone. The in hand feel of the G3 is better as well.

The battery doesn't last as long on the G3 but it is replaceable and I have found that with a few different settings after rooting I can get the G3 closer to the M8

I have a art Samsung galaxy s3. I am running a 4.2.2 version. Play store won't open. I have read and everyone says go to apps-all-downloand manager-enabe. The only problem is there is no enable button. Any other solutions?
[General Questions and Answers] lietsen:
is there specific about "won't open", or it's force close? ex: you open it and immediately closed?

Maybe you can try this, try to clear playstore cache. First open settings->apps->google playstore, and when you click on google playstore app, find clear cache button. Wait or reboot. I hope it's work for you.. :)

[Framaroot] Ferozkhan4969:
If anybod know this solution, please help me..
[Framaroot] anm991:
no worries

Umm....well to start, download framaroot and install it.

Then launch it, your anti virus may may demand that you delete it, but don't.

Anyway press one of the buttons with the strange writing after selecting root from the the list above( the button varies with your device, but it doesn't hurt to try all of them)

If done right, it tells you the process was successfully completed and asks that you reboot your phone, when you do, go through your apps and you will see SuperSU installed.

Ta Da , your phone has been rooted.

Note:

If you reboot your phone and cannot find the superSU app, then you did not do it properly.

(Perhaps try another button)

If I was even the very least bit helpful, please hit thanks, because my reputation depends on it:laugh:
[Framaroot] Superkrypton:
Won't work

Uhm, FramaRoot doesn't work on Kitkat. I think it stopped at bellybean 4.1.2. BEst solution would be to use CF Auto root or Kingo Root.

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has made an android rom that can be flashed onto an SD card and run on a nokia lumia 1520, I've gotten sick of the lack of apps on WP8 but i really like the size and specs of my phone and would love to try out android

So if anyone knows of a devolper that has done one for my phone or knows how I can tweak one to suit it would be great!

Cheers, Evilangel984

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmariolo:
Idea to prevent the 'hidden' partition / mmcblk0p12 (used for 2nd ROM system partition) from being accidentally deleted.

And also keep intact the 2nd rom, to switch to another rom including its own kernel, without having to flash the system partition again from the 2nd rom when you want to return to it.

Hi, I have a Galaxy SII for more than a week ago, and only have experience in the installation of DualBoot, Recovery's on this, and other devices, but I have no experience in kernel programming (although I've tried).

I want to clarify that I understand how DualBoot work, and that's why i bring this idea here.

Why can not also use an image file "system.img" in our SD card (/sdcard/.secondrom/system.img) like cache.img and data.img, instead of using the hidden partition?

This idea came to me because I use CM11-KK and also the last stock rom (4.1.2-JB) and at the moment Siyah Kernel is not supported for boot KK.

So this is my idea:

To Boot CM11-KK:

Restore the original backup of boot.img and recovery.img from a made previusly Cyanogenmod backup.

-In this case the 2nd rom keeps your 3 partitions (cache, data, system) intact.

To Boot Stock-JB:

Install Siyah Kernel and press the home button to boot the 2nd Rom (Always)

-In this case the 1st rom keeps your 3 partitions (cache, data, system) intact.

The file system would be as follows:

mmcblk0p7 (cache) -> Used by the 1st ROM.

mmcblk0p10 (data) - Used by the 1st ROM.

mmcblk0p1 (efs) - Intact

mmcblk0p9 (system) -> Used by the 1st ROM.

mmcblk0p12 (hidden) -> Intact (required for stock roms)

mmcblk0p5 (kernel) -> (Siyah for stock boot / cm-kernel, to boot cm11)

mmcblk0p8 (modem) -> Intact

mmcblk0p4 (param) -> Intact

mmcblk0p6 (recovery) -> (Siyah for stock / CWM to cm11)

mmcblk0p2 (SBL1) -> Intact

mmcblk0p3 (SBL2) -> Intact

mmcblk0p11 (emmc or sdcard) -> Contains the image files for the 2nd ROM (in /sdcard/.secondrom). other personal files on that partition are intact.

---TO DO (If any knows how):

-Edit Siyah Kernel to use /sdcard/.secondrom/system.img instead of hidden (mmcblk0p12) partition.

-Edit Siyah Recovery to use /sdcard/.secondrom/system.img instead of hidden (mmcblk0p12) partition.

I know this would not be a complete DualBoot, but is much easier and quick to flash the boot.img when we want to switch from one rom to another,

taking advantage of Siyah, that we know that boots the 2nd rom, which is stored (full) in a place where there is never deleted.

Well, I say goodbye, I hope this idea will interest many people, especially someone with programming experience

who can perform these modifications to the kernel and recovery, and can assemble this Semi-DualBoot.

elmariolo, from Uruguay!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alkaroth:
Hey all,

I have read all over the place on how to get this working but I honestly get more confused the more I read. I wanted to switch to another OS since my phone was starting to become bogged down (too many pictures, videos, old files, etc etc etc; My phone is my work tool since I'm a field sales engineer)

So I went ahead and rooted it with ODIN 3 v1.85 and I317-UCUBMK6.tar.md5. I also installed TWRP although I have no clue which version it is. I suppose it's the latest one. My bootloader is LJ2.

I always do the full swipe and a NANDROID back up. However, when I flash a custom ROM, I always end up stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. It won't go.

I have tried to install the following ROM's:

DN3 - Always says "Failed" when I try to flash, even when following instructions of reboot recovery and flash again.

JEDI X 20 - Go through the entire aroma installer - it installs - asks for reboot - when rebooting, stuck as Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen

and it pretty much happens with all of them. I have decided to back to stock (because I was a retard and accidentally deleted my NANDROID backup) and now I find my WIFI is broken.

I pretty sure this has all been discussed in various threads but I rather bring it all into one so that all that are having the same issue as me (I read a lot of people complaining about this issue with very scattered replies) can have a single thread that addresses how to fix this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

*Mods take note: I have posted a similar, post in the G3 forum with different questions specific to that phone. Please do not delete either of these posts. Thank you

Hey all! I currently have the One (m7) on T-Mobile and am considering switching to either the M8 or the G3. My friend has the G3 and the screen on it and the replaceable battery are pretty big selling points for me, HOWEVER I've had 6 different HTC phones in a row and I've loved them all. Can anyone that's switched from either the M7 or G3 to the M8 give me some feedback to your experience?

Here's a few questions I'd like answered:

My number one complaint recently about my M7 is the purple camera effect in low-light conditions. This is an infamous issue on the M7 and I can't stand it any longer. This is actually the primary reason I'm ready to ditch this phone. Does the M8 suffer the same issue with the pictures?

How are the boomsound speakers on the M8 when compared to the M7 (personal thoughts)?

Has anyone switched from the M8 to the G3 or G3 to M8 and regretted their decision? Why?

I play Clash of Clans a lot, anybody got battery experience with this game on the M8?

Anybody have experience with the M8 and either Square Register or Paypal Here?

I'm considering switching to the G3 primarily because most of the reviews I read recommend it over the M8 by a hair, but HTC's really been on the ball with their customer interaction and keeping up to date with the latest versions of Android... I'd prefer user feedback from people that have used both, or all three. Thank you all so much for your feedback

Well they say the iphone 6 is a lot more 'flexible'! ;)

I had checked out the G3, but had been put off by the reviews of battery life due to the screen resolution. When I seen the G3 screen in person I wasn't that impressed by it to be honest. I've been very impressed with the M8 camera despite the criticism it has received, I came from an S4 which had a great camera. The M8's is probably just as good, except you obviously can't zoom/crop images as much, but comparing photos and even video it still holds its own. I actually prefer it now to be honest as the S4 had an annoying crackling noise at the start of videos, the speed of the M8 camera app itself is great and has some excellent features too, check the below thread out for some of the quality shots it is capable of.

i do like the lack of side bezel on the G3 but the m8 has considerably less than the m7, looks very tidy
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
The battery issue was a factor when I made my decision, until I stopped and thought about it for a minute. When was the last time I actually replaced a battery in a phone? Hmm. That would be my LG Vu (CU920) - from 2008. Every phone since then is still sporting its original battery. My parents have matching iPhone 4S', and both are still running strong on their original batteries. It just isn't as big a deal these days for the most part.

I also liked the perceived build quality of the M8. Sure, I always strap an Otterbox around my phones, but the M8 felt more solid in my hand. it has a solid balance and heft that I preferred. I still have, and like, my Samsung Galaxy S2, but even it feels "cheap" beside my M8. I will admit that reports of the camera failing are disturbing, but those are covered under warranty. If you get a camera with purple streaks, send it back. Thankfully, mine performed flawlessly out of the box.

However, what finally sold me on the M8 was the fact that there are both official and unofficial ways to unlock the boot loader. The G3 has root for now, but every OTA kills root, and you never know when you might get it back. The only saving grace is that if you ever get root, you can kill the updater process, but then you are left with an unpatched device running whatever firmware was on it when you stopped updating. If you want to run custom ROMs, you have to pray you can keep safestrap running, because if it gets hosed, you are now the proud owner of a brick. If your ROM requires updated firmware, well, good luck with that.

If custom ROMs or maintaining root access aren't important to you, then take that with a grain of salt. I simply can't tolerate a device without root, so I wanted a phone I felt I could be sure of retaining root on for its lifetime.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I think there's generally a better development for the m8 also. The fact that there is a Google edition that provides devs with a pure Google Rom and even allows for full conversion to Google play edition is great too.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leepcharge:
I'm thinking of ditching my One m8 and getting the G3.

I've owned various phones including the m7 and LG G2. Maybe it's just me, but every HTC I have used seems to have some sort of problem. Both the m7 and m8 I have exchanged 2 times each (so 6 phones in total) and they have all had some sort of problem related to build quality.

My current daily driver, One m8, is now in for repairs due to a broken top speaker and I've only had it for 2 weeks (keep in mind this is the third one I exchanged for). Needless to say, I will be selling this phone and buying another - most likely the G3 (was very pleased with the G2).

Personally, I've tried to like HTC due to their beautiful designs and excellent build material (which is why I upgraded to m8 after a faulty m7), but the poor build quality and customer service really leaves with with a lack of confidence in my choice. Others may have different opinions, but this is just my experience after owning 10 high end phones over the past 4 years.
