[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I am fairly confident that there are different quality display panels out there, the sharpening issue seems to be linked to this (which also appears to be linked to brightness levels).

Those without the issue have displays that can go to brighter levels, those with the issues tend to have dimmer displays (even on max brightness).

Those without the issue only see the issue if they go to 'sub-zero' brightness levels with an app like Lux.

My belief is LG realised that some panels were poor(er) so adjusted the sofware to assist.
[G3 General] oracleoftruth:
If anyone can't see it, use lux to reduce brightness a bit below zero and have a look at a text heavy webpage; its awful.
[G3 General] Swizzle82:
Try not using lux, maybe thats the issue... Who needs below 0 brightness?
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Using LUX is not a problem, it is a very good app.

If you go below 0 then moan that is your own fault, going below 0 is not a function the phone is designed to do and when you "mod" you do so at your own risk.

I do go below 0 for night mode, but you don't see me on here moaning about sharpening issues.

______

That being said, some people (not me) do have issues with sharpening when their phone is above 0, but I believe this is because their phones are naturally darker, so their say 10 brightness might be the same as my -10, which is why they are seeing sharpening in 'normal' conditions when I am not.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
What's brightness got to do with it? Its just as obvious at 100% as it is below 0.

All G3s have it, some people just cant see it, if you cant think yourself lucky.
[G3 General] MalekoUK:
I'm OCD with anything like this, and It ain't present on my G3 ;)
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
"all g3's have it"..... no they don't at least not at normal operating levels.

If my display is anywhere between -2 and +100 brightness there is no sharpening effect at all, no glow, no weird text no nothing it is a perfect display - this is a fact, not my eyes.

if I go to around -4 you can see it until I go down to about -10 then it stops again.

I am not questioning the issue, I have seen and compared my display with others who do have the problem and it can be a real issue, but not everyone has it.

As for what does brightness have to do with it, I am trying to find out what the differences are between those that have the issue and those that don't and the only common denominator is the fact that all the displays that have the issue cannot go as bright as those that do not have the issue.

e.g. 100% brightness on my phone will be significantly brighter than 100% on someone who suffers from oversharpening.

This is also why when the G3 was first released there were lots of threads on here about the display being too dim.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Then take a picture and prove it. Its on every variant, every firmware. Its there.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
because variants and firmware doesn't alter the quality of the LCD panel!

are you not reading? There are plenty of people here on XDA who say they have no issue, including quite a few with very high credibility levels, who have nothing to gain from lying.

And sorry I cannot currently take a picture as I am not in the habit of carrying a second camera device around with me.....
[G3 General] clockwork58:
Does it appear if you take a screenshot (Power + Vol Dwn)?

I have a rogers D852 and tried to replicate the Black text on gray background and I don't see it. Brightness on 100% but I normally keep it at Auto.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Its got nothing to do with the LCD panel quality, its an artificial post processed effect, its nothing to do with the hardware. Ive seen the phones of some people who say they dont have it, they have it! I bet if I saw your phone id see it at all brightness levels. Its less obvious at low brightness, but thats just a natural result of the dim display, its still there.

I don't care about 'credibility'. Just because someone is good at making ROMs or whatever it doesn't mean they have good eyes. They have the effect, they just don't notice it. There is no other explanation for why LG released the phone with this effect, its hideous to those that see it.

I have upgraded twrp on sirius from 2.8.5 to 2.8.7. While I was able to enter the recovery (unlike previous 2.8.6 version, which ended up on cm recovery), it seems that no partitions were mounted or recognized. Upon selecting install, I was placed at the root folder, and when trying to mount a partition I found an empty list of partitions. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

In the meantime I am back to 2.8.5.

UPDATE

I added ".img" to the ROM_0 dump I mentioned above and used SP Flash Tool's "Write Memory" option to write the file to EMMC starting at address 0x0 till the length of the file.

This took my tab back to the point after I changed the partitions.

The Fondi is now powering up (screen switches on), charging and I can get into the recovery, fastboot mode and normal boot. Only thing is it is stuck on logo during normal mode. I believe this is due to partition changes.

I'm now looking for a way to reverse the partition changes I made...

I signed up for this forum so I could tell you all the reason to this issue!

So like you all, I thought I was going crazy about the back button not working right! I kept trying different ways of pressing it and sometimes it would work and other times it didn't, and it seemed to be getting worse. However, the pen was perfect! So on the same day as I received it from Verizon, and after an hour on the phone with tech support with all the factory resets and other tests, I went to the Verizon store for a replacement. I was lucky that they had one in stock! They did all their tests, too, and the guy was trying to tell me I had to press harder and that it worked. I told him I shouldn't have to press harder and that I wanted a new one. So after he handed me the new phone, I instantly felt that the bottom of the phone seemed flatter and the buttons worked much better! I asked for my old phone back and voila, I found the problem! The bottom of the screen below the back button is not sitting level with the metal trim like the new one, nor like the rest of the phone! That is why you have to press so hard. It isn't close enough to the sensitivity chip for your finger to register, but the pen was ok due to how that works.

So, take it back as it is a hardware issue!!!! And, taking it back doesn't count towards your exchange for any provider or Best Buy. It is defective! I would also do this as soon as you can, because as you know, they will exchange it with a refurbished one. I got a new one, because they didn't have any refurbished ones yet as I took it back the same day!

[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
As we all know it’s important to make backups of our ROM and settings, especially when flashing regular custom ROM updates.

I believe that the only backup strategy that works is to schedule them, otherwise there will come a day when you need a backup and it turns out that your most recent backup isn’t actually very recent :eek:

To automate this I made two Tasker profiles, one that lets you schedule your nandroid backup using OpenRecoveryScript and a second one that takes care of the number of backups kept on your SD (only keeping the last x backups and deleting the older ones) this way your SD won’t be filled with backups.

Import the attached profiles in Tasker, you might want to change the following:

(I also attached task only in case somebody wants those)

TWRP backup: line 1 sets the backup interval in days

TWRP backup: line 11 (write file) here you set the backup options as described here. Current settings are SDCB (System, Data, Cache and Recovery)

TWRP retention: line 1, here you set the number of backups you want to keep.

Set both tasks to run daily ( I have them set as follows: backup sun and wo at 6:00, retention daily at 6:30

The nandroid is only been made if the number of days set in the backup interval is passed. The script will always use the last backup for the interval calculation, regardless if it was made by the Tasker script of manually in recovery.

The script is only tested on TWRP recovery.

EDIT: Uploaded new profile, the script is now also working if no previous backups are present.

EDIT2: Updated to fix copy error on Android 6.X

Nice to have an updated ORS tasker script, many are outdated. Currently im using an online nandroid app, since booting to recovery sometimes fails, and i dont wanna be late for classes if the phone gets stuck at booting. Happens at random. Will bookmark for future use!

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
My recent "online nandroid" restores failed, that's why I changed to this.

I also was suffering from sometimes "stuck at bootlogo" issue when I was using the S4, now on the OnePlus One it never happened.
[Android Apps and Games] HaTrED_:
They started to fail with latest TWRP release - 2.8.1.0! When restoring online nandroid backup's, DATA partition seems to be forgotten ...

I'll take a look into this approach knowing that i'm not a tasker "hardcore" user... :silly: :fingers-crossed:

Thx mate!
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
With this method the backup is made in TWRP itself, so restoring should not be an issue.

Is EFS automatically backed up in with this script? If not how do I make sure that it is?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
AFAIK you can't backup EFS with openrecovery script.

Never really looked at it, I think it's not very useful. The EFS partition will never change. Having one backup is sufficient. There is no need to schedule it.

Alright, I will just keep one manual backup on my N5 in case EFS gets corrupted. Thanks again for this very nifty script.

Will do, now if there is a tasker script for auto uploading TWRP backup to dropbox :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
Check out FolderSync or a similar app. It can transfer files to dropbox and is launchable from Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] milt983:
I think that, if It is possible to change the backup name recognition, in the "retention backup", with number of backups recognised, would solve the problem.
