I've tried all above except paranoid (and CM11)

I think it should be mentioned that photos quality on mahdi rom are horrible.

I tried other camera applications but the bad quality remained.

Is PA or CM11 like mahdi (camera quality)?
[G2 General] lavafire:
Unfortunately the camera on PA is also pretty disappointing, in my experience anything that is not based on stock ROMs has bad camera experience.
[G2 General] albsat:
I tried, pa, mahdi, plain.. All three gave some strange issue or reboot. I have been totally unlucky with asop roms in this phone. I had better experience with others, like nexus, s2 or note 2.
[G2 General] lavafire:
Did you try the version I mentioned? Link is on one of the replied on thr page before I think.
[G2 General] albsat:
Thanks man. I did try it. After restoring sms, the Android. process message kept popping up, and reinstalling from beginning was a bit too lazy by my side. There is a cm version based on stock kernel which looks promising for what I am looking for, so I am keeping an eye on this CM version. Thanks again.
[G2 General] br0ok1ynb0i:
Nice write up! I used Mahdi, PA and CloudyG3 and agree with your comments. I'm currently running cloudyg3 and would like to add a few notes to those who are interested. Disabling all the animations does speed things up for me and the dev made the G3 Tweakbox features all free. PA is my second favorite ROM, super smooth and stable. If camera was better on PA, it would be my daily driver.
[G2 General] goila:
upload please the latest test build
[G2 General] lavafire:
Wish I downloaded it before the link died, but people commented saying they are unstable so I didn't download it. But I think it should be released today (3rd Nov) on the PA thread.
[G2 General] player911:
I'm really interested in trying the G3 rom. I've been using stock on this phone since I got it and I really love the built in features and stability. I've come from a long line of Nexus ownership and have a Nexus 7 2013 for AOSP support + latest updates.

I was really worried about the stability of the G3 port but feel a little more confident reading your review compared to other roms. Paranoid Android was always fun too, I just never tried it on my G2.
[G2 General] lavafire:
Yeah G3 Rom are very stable only some hiccups when you have too many apps open, apart from that everything is pretty good. Camera is normally the main selling point for most :)

Also I think going from stock -> G3 ROMs -> AOSP is a pretty good way going about it.

OPPS sorry about that dead link.....

This link is working today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHsHiXDgSy4

I put the whole URL this time to copy and paste.

I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st

Primary

Fat32 partition.

Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.

OR

Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.

Be sure to set or make

BOTH

the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.

I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.

Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.

And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pointdooly:
So, basically your solution is based on using additional SD card not changing/modifying the phones' EMMC memory.

I think I had tried Link2SD/Folder mount earlier and not all apps supports with this method.

It is still helpful but I think we(other users) still like to change the EMMC side.

But I still want to tried your suggested method to try. Thank you!!!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Well I guess they don't know how to google "upgrade and keep unlimited data" oh well
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cj2566:
I'm sure that's not the case. Verizon has closed the previous loopholes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Not the best buy loophole "keep existing plan" and use the same SIM card that your using now. I can still add UDP plans through Apple with no problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cj2566:
Could you enlighten the rest of us then?

I get this...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
1.) i have the money.

2.) i REFUSE to sign on contract with verizon and lock myself into a 2 year agreement.

3.) what business is it of yours whether we buy off contract or don't? yeah, we've heard of the "best buy" loophole, which was eliminated back in August. i'm not risking losing my unlimited data when i have the means to purchase my phone outright, thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Search on slickdeals "upgrade and keep unlimited data" you will find all your answers there. I was able to upgrade all 5 of my lines with no problem. The key is to never use the SIM card that ships with the phone!

When you continue you will see keep exiting data plan
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
sorry dude, it's just that your post came off as a little snarky. i know of the way to do it, but personally, it's my luck that i'd do it and somehow lose unlimited data. i've been with verizon for 17 years, but i just don't trust them whatsoever anymore. i can't leave bc of unlimited data and bc my plan is so old that 3 phones is super cheap, so yeah, that's why i'm not gonna bother locking into a 2 year contract. i buy phones all the time, so that's just my thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rootuser3.0:
Hey I don't blame you, I don't trust them either to a point where I can't even go into their stores because they always want to pull up your account and look around , even when buying an accessory so I stopped going there. Now I just go to authorized dealers whenever I need a sim activated and what not.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
yup i hear you. i ran an authorized retailer for 2 years and i've heard my share of horror stories about corporate...which i already knew bc i went there before i worked there. but yeah, i buy screen protectors and they need to pull up my account? i mean i understand to see if there's any discounts, sure, but other than that, they just want your upgrade date so that they can try to sell you a damn phone. meh oh well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Jonbo298:
For me, being in the small minority, I'm actually in contract until October 2015 due to their new 2 year contract and keep unlimited data "glitch" last year.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdraulston:
Here is something I've never been able to understand. Hopefully someone can help me get this. I hear about this method and that method to keep unlimited data. I hear about dummy phones and switching sims., etc... on contract is 299. Off contract is 699. Difference of $400....over 2 years. Doesn't a dummy phone, or line cost money? I've heard 10 a month, so in two years 240 dollars spent. That leaves $160 left. .....over 2 years? ??? That comes to about a $7/month savings. Ummmmm.....I see a lot of effort for $7/month put in by a lot of people. Am I missing some other super secret method to keep unlimited data? I paid full retail for mine, saved the 200, and kept unlimited, but im also not worried about the Verizon police either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Serinety:
As someone who has unlimited data on 2 of my lines (wife and mine) I'm not sure this is entirely true. I've upgraded 3 times since they stopped unlimited data and the note 4 makes 4 times. I'm doing it the same way I've always done it, I even tell vzw I'm doing it and no one (at verizon) has ever told me I can't so it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] le0.br4zuc4:
I don't think that's the case. if we have the money, don't want a contract and just want to make sure we keep the unlimited data.... why not?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sidthekid28:
sorry but strictly in my opinion, buying top-end phones off contract is like ricky bobby trying to drive with the cougar in the car... not a smart move :laugh:

but hey, everyone is entitled to do whatever the hell they want with their hard earned money so I dont get why others try and tell them what to do with it.... hope we get root soon!!!!!!!!!!! cheers!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcissell:
So my question to those of you on unlimited data is .... If you look at the amount of data you use on a regular basis, then figure in the cost of a full price phone, are you actually saving much money over what you would pay if you just had a normal contract? My guess is a few people are getting in Verizon's pocket but for the most part you aren't coming out that far ahead if any. That's why Verizon doesn't close the loophole. These guys run a billion dollar business. You think they don't know everything about their business. They have people that read these forums.

It's the same reason Cspire offers unlimited plans because they know that most people don't use much data. Only a few use a ton.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcforreal:
I know a lot of users who use a ton of data me and my girlfriend use between 20 to 30 gb each a month. Our combined bill is only 145 bucks that's with 2 smartphone and a feature phone. I can't speak for all but in my case the price I'd pay for that much data on a new plan would just be ridiculous, so for a heavy user (anyone using over 8gb) then I'd say never lose unlimited.

Hi XDA.

I have created automatic version of this One Click Signer:

(Click to thanx here FIRST! ->) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822388 (<- Click to thanx here FIRST!)

This version Works for Quantum of files at same time.

There are two DIRs:

Input - move here all APK and ZIP files to sign.

Output - here comes Signed APKs and ZIPs.

How to use?

If you think, that is virus, or any harmful file,

you can right click on any .bat or .cmd file, and use EDIT option.

Here you can see all code, that files do.

Thanx to ASimmons, and dont forget to hit "Thanks!" button on his thread too! (link above)

Sorry for my BAD English.

//ANY PROBLEMS?

1. Output DIR is empty.

- move your auto-sign folder to root of C: drive, maybe run it as administrator.

2. Files are in output folder, but not signed

- check if you have Java Runtime SE Library, try to reinstall it.

if you have 64 bit system, and 64 bit Java, try to install 32 bit java too.
[Android Apps and Games] j_ds:
Thanks, gouster3.

Very easy to use Signer. However, using it to create an 'update.zip' package for my tablet was unsuccessful due to the 'zipalign' step at the end. So I reversed the steps as follows in "do2.cmd", then it was accepted (although this way the ZIP isn't fully aligned) :

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
@ECHO off

SET rom=%1

copy !rom! x!rom!

cd lib

rem zip align
zipalign -f 4 ..\x!rom! ..\signed-!rom!

rem sign the rom
java -Xmx512m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 ..\signed-!rom! ..\signed-!rom!

cd ..\

del x!rom!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt7262:
Yesterday my One wouldn't boot up so I figured this would be the time to try out Paranoid Android. After flashing and restoring all of my apps and data, I went to open Android Wear and connect to my watch. My phone will connect, but not the Android Wear app? When I start to connect, my phone and watch get a Pair message and I choose pair, my Android Wear app won't connect to my watch although when I go to the Bluetooth menu on my phone it says connected.

But It doesn't say connected on my watch either.

Could anyone help me? My Moto 360 is on Android Wear 4.4W2 and my phone is on Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5

It has been draining faster after the update.
[Moto 360] kevinlevrone:
I have 41% left after 24 hours of use, with like 50 notifications during this time. For me the update imrpoved the battery significantly. I'm waiting to see if it can achieve 48 hours.

[Moto 360] ttown:
My battery life increased. I got two whole days on one charge for the first time.

First day:

Off the charger at 8 am

Turned the watch off at 11 pm with 57%

Second day:

Turned on the watch at 9 am. (Funny thing the watch actually showed 61% even though it never touched the charger)

Put of the charger at 11:30 pm with 9% remaining

This is the best battery life I have gotten. I was using stock watch face, but have several apps installed including Facer.
[Moto 360] gsusx:
mine is worse :(
[Moto 360] bill.g:
Mine has been better since the latest 4.4w2 update and with the ambient light on.
[Moto 360] saturnspike:
Mine drained itself completely in 8 hours but I was using Facer, which I suspect is the culprit (it was fine before the upgrade though). I switched to a stock watchface and I'm down to 84% today after four hours of light use.
[Moto 360] antonior93:
Ambient screen on or off?
[Moto 360] mmx6688:
4% per hour battery is general level for 360 after my three weeks usage. Each day I record every hour the battery. And I use facer all the time.

You may need to find other watch face by using facer which can keep that 4% drain. So far I put quite many app on watch and do not see it impact battery much.
[Moto 360] Cicatrize:
Mine is slightly better than the last update. I have Facer (but using stock face), Wear Mini Launcher, and Strava installed. Watch comes off the charger at 8:30am and by 11:30pm I usually have 65-70% battery remaining. This thing has absolutely ridiculous battery life, IMO.
[Moto 360] gpmg762:
Even better battery life after the latest update. I was getting 12 hours initially but now should hit 50 hours with ambient off, stock face minimal and light usage.

Now it is using 28.5% per hour! just fully charged it from dead and it's showing 2 hours to discharge, what the hell???

Ambient screen on or off?

Ambient screen is off
[Moto 360] fastnfurious8:
I've noticed a lot of people using stock watchfaces are experiencing better battery life than most, regardless of having facer installed or not. I'm assuming that this could be because facer is an app synced through the phone and hence communicates more often with the phone (using more battery) than the stock watchfaces, which are loaded on the watch itself. I would suggest switching to a stock watchface after a reboot and observing any changes! If its the case, we can only wait for release of an API for watchfaces on Android Wear!
[Moto 360] madpete:
I just got through a second days use (I turn it off at night) and still have 22% left now. I've turned it off again, and will see how far i get tomorrow before it final goes flat on day 3. Im ambient mode off, and I use the stock minimal face... everything else on.
[Moto 360] kevinlevrone:
24 hours of usage with Ambient ON and Auto Brightness ON, with 10% still remaining. A new record for me, after this update.
[Moto 360] fastnfurious8:
I went from 8 hours of moderate to heavy usage to now 15 hours of the same usage with these changes that I tried. I have auto brightness on and ambient mode off.

Things you could do to increase your battery life.

1. Use a stock or very minimalist watchface with black background, preferrably (black pixels utilise lesser battery). Using Facer watchfaces drains a lot more battery than the stock ones, especially those that are more colourful and have more animations.

2. VERY IMPORTANT - Calibrate your battery for optimum battery life. So, any new device needs to have its battery calibrated so that the device can extract most juice from it.

I did this - Reset the watch (Recommended if you've been using the watch for more than 2-3 days now) and continue using it till the battery drops to 0% and the watch switches off on its own. DO NOT PUT IT TO CHARGE AT 1%, LET IT DIE. Once it's off, put it for an uninterrupted charge up to a 100% and use it normally. Continue this charging pattern, of letting it die and charging uninterruptedly till a 100% for as long as possible and you will instantly notice the huge bump in battery life. This is not a placebo, it actually makes a huge difference. While charging, place the watch on air plane mode on, for quickest uninterrupted charging.

3. When watch is absolutely not in use, switch it off or keep it on airplane mode on to save on the battery.

Don't keep draining lithium ion batteries to zero. .Once in a while it's OK. ..but don't do it regularly. .it will die soon
[Moto 360] xbiggyl:
The following excerpt from BatteryUniversity, explains that Lithium-ion batteries do not need calibration and full discharge cycles actually hurt the battery.

"Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The shorter the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible,

avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses

. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine;

there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life

, other than to calibrate the fuel gauge on a smart battery once in a while. Read more about Battery Calibration. "
