Thank you for replying! I ended up just backing up my current rom, then wiping everything except for the internal memory, then reflashed the rom and Gapps. Everything worked that way. I lost all my game data and text messages, but that's no big deal. I was really concerned about photos/contacts/etc, which were all saved somehow. I then downloaded Titanium Backup and restored somethings from the nandroid backup I made in TWRP. Everything is working now! I'll be more likely to actually perform backups now. Thanks again anyway!

F460 - Is it worth it?

Hi all,

I have the chance to get an F460 at a decent price. At first I was pretty excited, but then noticed some things that are of concern, like the lack of AT&T's 700 LTE Band, a different Qi charging config and some bloatware requiring Root to eliminate.

The Root thing isn't too much of a big deal for me, but my question would then be, is the upgraded hardware in the F460 worth it or should I just stick with an unlocked D851 ? Please let me know your opinions and any other differences I need to be aware of or should keep in mind that are important (like smaller development group on F460 vs D851 etc.).

Keep them coming fast & furiously since I need to make a decision ASAP!!!

I don't post a lot, but I have much XDA love & have been around for a bit!

Thanks Everyone & I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!

i sync all my contacts with my gmail accounts so no need to back up and with every new phone or messing my phone my contacts are safe :D

i suggest you do the same

for messages i use MyBackup_Pro and for game data i use Helium_Premium_App_Sync_and_Backup which helium can back up sms and contacts too and does not need root!

always back up your photo some where else and best place are online servers such as google drive or dropbox or mediafire

Find firmware version that Stump supports. Flash that version and you will be good to go for root.

Check this topic. Inside is the link for firmwares and I see Verizon firmware is from August 22. That should be supported

Thank you! Thats the answer i wanted to know!

But I have another question =) What about the D858 (Dual sim) ? Will i be able to install any G3 ROM on it or it shold be strictly D858 model specific? As I understand it is all identical oly second sim slot is extra. And no hardware changes because Snapdragon supports two sim cards.. And the Dual sim control is built in Android by default. Im i right?

I believe so.

If you do not have Windows maybe to try it through virtual machine?

Personally, I would not play with different ROM variants. In theory you could be right and it could go okay, but it could go also wrong and you could get really expensive brick.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subworx:
Hey again,

First, I have a new question:

Is there a possibility to group the widgets by app in LG Home's widget screens (App Drawer as well as long-press on desktop)?

On 2.3 I used to have an apk called "AppWidgetPicker" or similar, which would group e.g. Minimalistic Text's 15 widgets into one entry "Minimalistic Text (15 widgets)". I just found that Nova Launcher offers the same by default.

Does anyone know of a patch/apk/xpose module/whatever that ports this behaviour to the new Home? Browsing 30+ pages of widgets is riciulous.

Just in case you don't know yet:

Settings -> About Phone -> Software information -> Software version, at the bottom.

V10L actually reads V10l (lower-case L) which I initially misread as V10I (capital i) and then wondered why Stump would not work :p

You actually are pretty lucky. In Germany it is nearly impossible to find any dual-sim phones.

Generally there of course do exist S5, G3, HTC One and whatever phone variants with Dual-Sim, but they are seemingly *only* sold in Asia (each and every newer dual-sim device on pda-db is listed with Android 4.x Chinese/Korean).

We found exactly ONE German offer for a dual-sim G3, not on the cheap, with the addition "you will have to buy another charger with the correct plugs as well"...

Slowly but surely the Asia brands (Huawei, ZTE, Wiko and so on) come here as well, and they offer Dual-Sim :)

But they are not the widely supported flagships I would like to use instead.

Oh well :-/

Still in the process of finding out which system apps can be killed. In parts, I am clueless, maybe someone can help?

Answer me (com.lge.gestureanswering) - gesture stuff? - dunno, also can't find it in Phone app or Settings -> Phone
com.lge.sui.widget - ???
LGInstallservice (com.lge.lginstallservies) - ???
LGSearchWidgetProvider (com.lge.appwidget.lgesearch) - ???
Quickset SDK (com.uei.lg.quicksetsdk.maxq616) - ???
Smart Notice (com.lge.concierge) - ???
Software Update (com.lge.lgdmsclient) - ???
TalkBack (com.google.android.marvin.talkback) - ???

Partially the names are obvious, but most don't mean anything to me. Does anyone know what they do, and if they are essential?

As all of them (except Talkback - what is that?) contain "LG" in the apk name, I would think they can go safely.

Too bad I don't know anything about bash programming for the cleanup script, to ask if specific things should stay ;)

Regards,

You can find and order dual SIM phones from Mobicity.co.uk.

For example, G3 dual sim 16gb or 32gb

Mobicity is reliable website, I have ordered few times from them, so are many friends. They are based in UK so for us from EU is great that.

Answer Me - automatic call answer when you bring phone close to ear. i always tap the ring on screen

LGInstallServices

LGSearchWidgetProvider - name says all, search widget

Quickset SDK - IR remote control

Smart Notice - those notifications under clock widget

Software Update - says all, checks for software updates

TalkBack - safely to remove

You can disable all of them, but of course, you will lose those functions. If thats okay with you, block it :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
I see you have edited in the meantime.

You have to use 3rd party launcher like Apex, Nova. They group widget in categories like that.

Stock launcher does not do that.

Dropdown stopped working in lockscreen

Hi,

After I updated my F400s to variant 10t I found that i could dropdown the "whatchamacallits" (turn bluetooth on/off) etc <sorry!:silly:> from the lockscreen, without having to unlock the phone.

From today this has stopped working and I have no idea why. I've not updated any apps or anything else. The only thing I did since yesterday was go into dev options and turn all animations to 0.5x and force mesa 4xx which i read in one of the forums.

Can anybody tell me how i can get the dropdown working again?

LG D855 Phone not registered

Hi.

I don't know what happen to my phone today. It suddenly lost connection to my telco network. When I tried to check update for my phone, it says "Your phone is not registered yet" Baseband version, IMEI and IMEI SV appears to be unknown.

Info (might be helpful) : -My phone is not rooted in anyway.

- It was working fine this morning.

- I had a Team Viewer session with a Mac before it all went wrong.

- When I was backing up my downloaded files from phone to pc, BitDefender

detected a virus "Android.Trojan.Voxv.A"

- Tried factory reset multiple times but to no avail.

- The phone cannot be shut down. It's restarting instead of powering off when I tried

to switch it off. Even after factory resetting it.

P/s : Can you please keep it as easy as possible how to fix it? This is my first Android phone and my knowledge about these stuff is next to zero. This phone is only 2 month old so please safe it. Thank you.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necromancer3:
Hi,

Swapped my nexus 4 with an G3 running kitkat.

First thing to do is to root it and install custom recovery. So i started reading here a bit, and i'm not sure what this 'bump' means.

Some threads say its a method that works with lolipop, others say its just a method to install custom recovery/roms on the LG3.

Rooting seems simple enough, but not sure about recovery and roms.

How 'bump' method any different from the way nexus 4 / Samsung galaxy /etc flashing works?

Is it not straightforward unlock bootloader -> push custom recovery?

Also what is 10h, 10l etc?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrasuper:
Essentially correct. It's a method to sign ROM's/recovery(s) so that the un-lockable bootloader thinks these things are sanctioned softwares to run.

ROM versions. For example, 10d and 10f were KitKat ROMs on the AT&T D850 variant, and 20i and 21l are Lollipop ROMs for the same.

T-Mobile, Verizon, the international version of the G3 have slightly different ROM version numbers of the above.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necromancer3:
Thanks,

As i did more reading i see that the bump! was needed since LG doesn't allow/release a "proper"/official way to unlock the bootloader, but seems like Bump! has been patched and shut down.

What is the best way to install custom recovery to be able to backup the phone and flush custom roms?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrasuper:
In a manner of speaking, yes- We cannot bump images using the L framework, but can still do so using a hybrid of L and KK.

This depends upon which specific variant of the G3 you have, which you have not stated here, unless I missed it.

Also, my opening statement is pertaining to the AT&T version, the D850. If for example you have the T-Mobile version, the D851, you would not need to bump anything since the bootloader comes unlocked to begin with.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necromancer3:
Ah yes, the international version D855 (How is it called in 10h/10l format?)

Has the developer community changed since bump! was patched?

I'm not certain, but I don't think the bootloader is locked on the D855 so you shouldn't need to bump anything.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrookley:
The first thing you're going to want to do after you root your phone is flash TWRP. This will allow you to make backups (including IMEI backups, which is important if you're going to be playing with various ROMS). From there, I find titanium backup very useful but there are many, many things you can do with root after that. The important thing is to make sure everything is safely backed up before messing with things. Good luck!

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

If you look at the very first page in this thread, it talks about recovery and gives some link. On that page, there is a version specific to your phone on there. Look for the one that says D855. I believe that's the one you'll want to use but I'm not 100% sure. If you search that thread that talks about custom recoveries, you'll probably find someone with the same question.

EDIT: You might want to use the following tool:
