My nexus 4 have prepared already few version of Lollipop but my G2 still on 4.4.2. Devs, please port Lollipop for us. :(

[G2 General] ThePotatoRage:
Does anybody know a few Devs who's maybe can try to work on a port?

I'd be happy to help with the testing. I WANT LOLLIPOP ON MY D802 SO MUCH!!
[G2 General] costipl:
Early reports on Nexus 7 suggest that boot times and overall performance have greatly increased.

LG G2
[G2 General] Koopa777:
I've used Lollipop on my Nexus 5 since the first dev preview was released. ART results in a long first boot because it is compiling the runtime cache for each app. Every boot after that should be the same or better as Dalvik used to be. It is the same as it was on KitKat, with LRX21M the N5 boots in about 3-5 seconds. 5.0 gives crazy performance improvements, especially on older devices like the Nexus 10 (KitKat performance was okay at best). It will definitely be worth it.

Question is, how possible is it? I sold the G2 in April because of all the kernel issues and loki patches LG made. How unlocked is this device at this point? For me, AOSP ROMs had issues galore(GPS, freezing, etc.) because of the lack of source, and certain radios had loki patches in them(ZVA,ZVC etc.). Even ROMs were dropping support for the G2 due to kernel issues. Remember that the stock Google kernel CANNOT obtain root on Lollipop, a custom kernel is required, preferably with SELinux set to permissive. On Nexus that has been achieved because of the unlocked bootloader allowing for the flashing of .imgs. If the kernel needs to be in-line with LG source + bootloader, I highly doubt that root would be easy to obtain...

Basically, what is the status of the G2 at this point?
[G2 General] Raymonf:
Nicely said. I don't have an option, though. Meh.

I think we should see how the G3 goes with rooting when Lollipop hits.
[G2 General] flintfirewalker:
Yeah, that's been my experience while looking for stable custom Roms. It appears, g2 is best used as stock or sold (although I have the highest regard for all the devs who worked countless hours to bring us all the custom goodness on g2). But it appears most devs are moving to other platforms starting 5.0. I hate stock OS so much that selling the device looks to be my next best option, but there's just no clear winner\awesome device to push me over the edge (thanks google for ur 6 inch monster - now even the nexus is out).
[G2 General] berryman13:
He was asking a question. If you have no answer whatsoever it would be best to just hit thanks and not post.

Again...no answer.

I havent seen a single developer depart recently for 5.0 besides madhi i believe, though i wouldn't be surprised if he was working on some kind of port!

QUOTE=Koopa777;56618788]Basically, what is the status of the G2 at this point?[/QUOTE]

We have some core developers like [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION] and all the other cool cats who maintain huge multiplatform roms. I'm going to attempt porting lolli to the g2 right now. The repository is syncing, i have lg kitkat source and [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] has sources for porting roms within kitkat.

I can extrapolate and figure out how to rebase it on 5.0, but many developers will do so before me. Things arent that bad really for the G2, id say they are WAY better than they were 6 months ago.
[G2 General] Raymonf:
Yeah, uh. It appears the second half of my post was cut out.

I'll just retype it here:

It's very possible. People can do what Cyanogen did with CM11. It's not very unlocked, really. Nothing has really changed since Loki was released. AOSP ROMs have been better recently, but the camera is pretty bad.

Everything is exploitable. Perhaps they'll figure out how to get out of the sandbox. Just look at iOS, for example.

Now, since since Lollipop kernel sources will likely be open, people can probably create a flashable zip of a Lollipop OTA and remove that part of the kernel that prevents rooting. People can always use the flash tool tip restore to an older version and then use AutoRec.

Hii guys..

I am using Panasonic P81 which dont have KITKAT os update yet.

But news is this, PANASONIC LAUNCHES P55 WITH 5.5-INCH DISPLAY with KITKAT 4.4.2 OS.

Both these phones are quite similar in specs.

So, request for users of P81, CAN WE GET OS of this new phone ????
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasays:
Apart from screen size p55 is nowhere near p81.. p55 is a low grade phone and still kitkat..

asking kitkat from a company who does not care to provide minor updates to rectify bugs is useless and this is the reason they have dropped its price from rs19000 to rs12000 for this wonderful device.. still panasonic can work on software updates to nominate p81 in the list of best devices of its time..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeev26680@gmail.com:
I agree. P81 is a very capable phone. If it gets kitkat makeover then nothing like it.

Rooted tonight and installed TWRP. Have made no other changes. Fast charging still checked in settings. Any ideas?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arunningpir8:
your cable is shot? Mine stopped working after the first charge. Thankfully it was just a bad cable out of the box and not the charger. Swapping the cable with the one from my note 2 got my fast charging back. Samsung had some shoddy quality control on the first batches of Note 4's imo. My back cover also doesn't snap on all the way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vl4dim1r:
Now before I get flamed for a duplicate post, I have already searched this topic. I found 2 threads here, one of which has a few different methods, and a few others elsewhere on the net. I've tried all of them, literally. Every guide I could find relating to passing USB Tethered traffic through my phone's OpenVPN connection. I figure I must be doing something wrong somewhere in my iptables.

Some info about my setup:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 - Rooted via Towelroot, SuperUser updated, RootCheck confirmed rooted

Interfaces from 'netcfg': wifi = wlan0, usb tether = rndis0, Cellular data = rmnet0, OpenVPN tunnel = tun0

VPN network = 10.0.1.0/24

USB Tethered network = 192.168.42.0/24

Wifi Tethered network = 192.168.43.0/24

LAN network (on other side of VPN) = 10.0.0.0/8

Firewall/OpenVPN server = pfSense

OS of Client attempting to connect through VPN = Windows 7

I am trying to use my phone as an OpenVPN gateway because I require a connection to my home network, and I have insufficient permission to install the OpenVPN client on the machine I am trying to connect back home with. Even though I cannot install the OpenVPN client/Tun/tap network interface, it does allow my phone's rndis interface to be installed.

And this is what I have tried so far:

iptables -- flush

iptables -A POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE -t nat

iptables -A FORWARD -i tun0 -o rndis0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j RETURN

iptables -A FORWARD -i rndis0 -o tun0 -m state --state INVALID -j DROP

iptables -A FORWARD -i rndis0 -o tun0 -j RETURN

And This:

iptables --flush

iptables -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j MASQUERADE -t nat

iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i rndis0 -o tun0

iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i tun0 -o rndis0

Neither one seems to work. I tried the former earlier and couldnt tell if it worked or just screwed everything up, as I couldnt connect to anything on my home LAN or the internet.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't know if I need to add a rule on the pfSense firewall to handle traffic from 192.168.42.0/24 or not, I havn't seen that mentioned anywhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robaldred:
Hey, I know this is a little old, but did you get anywhere?

I'm too trying to get traffic from the tethered device to be routed via the phone's VPN connection.

[Xperia Z2 General] haydonxda:
During a call the notification/status bar at the top really wants to let you know you're on a call. It turns a ridiculous color green with an animated wave running through it.

Were they serious with this? It has got to be the worst choice ever. It conflicts with everything - except - maybe what they did to the Hobbit's Shire on Blu-ray. 1983 called and wants their CGA color scheme back.

Can this be changed? How can I express my... concern to Sony?

And the lock screen clock. Ugh. What the heck Sony?
[Xperia Z2 General] hyelton:
Almost every phone out there has a Green Bar during a call.

Im not a big fan of the clock but its something different.
[Xperia Z2 General] m2geek:
Don't like it - make your own rom....

It could be Fluro Pink for all I care regarding the ongoing call colour of the status bar, and the clock? Change it if you don't like it. Jeez...
[Xperia Z2 General] haydonxda:
Green can be okay but what they've selected is horrid.

The clock is something very similar that appeared in an earlier version of 4.x and then quickly disappeared. Probably because people found it ugly. They should have known better. Replacing the lock screen is easy if I want to give yet another company personal info but... recommending to someone to unlock their bootloader, create a new ROM and install is insane to take care of the flourescent green.
[Xperia Z2 General] nivet5:
does this bar random my appear? I don't see it for all calls. :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
It is active when you go to another app while calling.

I LIKE IT!! :D
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
It's absolutely unbelievable that Sony don't want to listen every single one of us...can you believe that? :P

Green colour is used because you have exactly the same (check with hex colour codes) colour of call button.

That's the feature you'll see few times only, can it be you are having problems with it?!

It can be changed without any problems.

Extract apk to your PC decompile it and change 9.pngs and xml/smali (java) code.

Recompile and sign it and you'll have your own colour...

If I built another theme I'll theme that as well..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Volatile Chemistry:
If this is some kind of duplicate I apologize, no set of keywords I used to search would pull up a topic on my delimma.

I need an app to disable auto-start on my phone. I want them to stop running and stay stopped. Problem is, the app I used on my last HTC will stop them, but when I go back in I see 30 apps running again.

Can anyone recommend a good task/app manager that will kill running apps and make them STAY killed until I use them again?

FYI, I'm fine with paid apps, rarely is something worth having for free.

Any suggestions?

Well I unlocked my bootloader without reading more into it and I guess I lost my DRM keys. I really should have read more. I thought I knew what I was doing but I didn't. Anyways, so now I can't play my PS4 on the remote play. I also can't sign into PS4 app. I'm sure it's not working because the DRM keys are missing. Sony really has this phone locked tight. Anyways I'm sad, yeah it's my screw up but really sony? Do we need DRM keys on a phone?

Ill probably never buy another sony phone again. I really only bought this phone for remote play and now I can't use it lol. Stupid
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
its there to stop other brands from stealing from sony, its happened plenty of times before and i think sony is overreacting :/

i do belive if you complain to them enough they will actualy do something

Yeah I guess they want to protect their code, patents, technology but that's ridiculous. Im stuck with a phone that I can't do anything with which I actually bought the phone for and probably can't sell it either lol. Who's going to buy a Z2 that has no DRM keys!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Someone from not XDA perhaps

Or perhaps someone looking for a device and NOT a device w/ warrenty
[Xperia Z2 General] Devlin88:
Don't lose hope

I had unlocked my bootloader as well. I did it to root the device before it was discovered you could root without unlocking it.

However, I recently used FlashTools to relock the bootloader and flashed new firmware.

All the features that were locked are now back, the playstation apps work, the hi-res facebook pics and a few others are all functioning again.

So try flashtools to relock it, if that doesn't bring back the features, reflashing to stock should help.
[Xperia Z2 General] elchicodelbalcon:
You relocked bootloader with no TA backup and it worked?
[Xperia Z2 General] kennypow3rs:
Yeah it worked. I used the Flashtool and I set phone in flash mode. Hit the relock button and it worked successfully. Then I ran the Sony Pc component and flashed 4.4.4. When I was unlocked it kept failing. Why?

Or are those device-imei related?
[Xperia Z2 General] kennypow3rs:
Each device has its own individual DRM keys. I doubt you could use another devices keys.
[Xperia Z2 General] V4LKyR:
So the remote play works now? And other stuff related to DRM keys?
[Xperia Z2 General] mariosraptor:
I can't say as I have not done it. But in older non smartphone Era of sonyericsson we used use read data from other devices to revive phones.
[Xperia Z2 General] kennypow3rs:
No playstation app does NOT work. Neither does remote play. Once you unlocked the bootloader before backing up DRM keys it will probably never work unless some super dev creates some wizard hackery and it bypasses the key check idk.
[Xperia Z2 General] cuyo11:
sell it! if its in good condition and you sell it a bit cheaper Im sure a lot of people wont care that they cant use remote play , for instance I dont lol
[Xperia Z2 General] V4LKyR:
So I guess Sony PC Companion was one of the things that fail... It works now but the other problems remain still. I see.
[Xperia Z2 General] 19bjk03:
Also it's important to mention that if you have a locked bootloader with DRM keys, and the Remote Play App keeps giving a error message, it's probably because you have installed "Super SU". I uninstalled the app, and Remote Play works for now.

If you are not sure about your DRM keys, just type *#*#7378423#*#* on your phone and go to Service Test > Security, if you have [Unknown Error] instead of [Key OK] they are lost, to restore them the only way is to use Backup of your TA. If you have all [Key OK] then your phone is ok.

[Xperia Z2 General] Isley_:
Thanks, I do it but now, how I can know if I have it Locked?
[Xperia Z2 General] hendry:
yeah.. how do i know, this bootloader is locked or not ?
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
So why don't you look into relocking the bootloader. Someone already said they successfully did that and got all features working again!
[Xperia Z2 General] manemzjum:
Ive also relocked my boot-loader and successfully restored to 4.4.4 from Sony pc companion

Still have the same error codes from psn app and remote play ?
[Xperia Z2 General] kennypow3rs:
Dudes, ill say this again. If you have unlocked your bootloader before backing up your TA keys you will NOT be able to use remote play and possibly a few other sony phone specific features. Not until a dev figures out how to enable remote play and fix it. Even if you re lock your bootloader, the device stock will NEVER be able to access remote play. Once those keys are lost you're screwed. I went ahead and gave my wife my Z2, and i ordered another brand new one from expansy's they have black ones on sale for 429.99 USD thats an excellent price. I really wanted remote play so i bought another phone. This time im not going to even bother unlocking it lol.

[Xperia Z2 General] prazvt:
How do root requests work if you don't have SuperSU installed? Will apps still work?
[Xperia Z2 General] 19bjk03:
The apps you gave root permission before, are still working. If you install a new root app which needs root permission, then you have to install super su again. I don't know anoter solution for now, but it is working.
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
Even funnier is the fact that dualshock 4 pairing works as it should for me, but as ive unlocked bootloader n lost the drm keys, playstation and remote play apps dont

Don't become a victim of root - paranoia, just do all that "rooted " stuff like getting rid of your bloatware and installing custom roms and don't worry about re-rooting. Life is too short.

Pp. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
This can't be serious....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
You can root as many times as you'd like. All rooting does is copy a file into a protected part of the ROM - usually SuperSU.

However, if Root Checker is saying you are rooted, you are.

You can also open SuperSU, and look at the settings and see what it says. Or, if you open an app that requests root access, you should get a notification, where you can give root to that app, or deny it. And, if you already have given it access, you will get a popup showing when SuperSU give the root access to that app. If you haven't already done so, the important root apps to get are file explorers. I like ESFileExplorer available in the Play Store. However, since you seem to be a newbie READ, READ, READ before you start deleting, changing anything with your phone.
