[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Lag is not present in stock rom even. Lag was there on first batches of firmware, but it is solved.

Battery, I get 5 hours SOT always. It can only goes up, never got less then 5 hours.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
I got lag in my updated stock for sure. Its micro lagg but noticable. For example if I open up the programs list and scrolls I will notice that it laggs, nut much but its there. This did never happen on my old Samsung S3.

What suprises me is that my old Samsung S3 on stock are a bit faster then the G3 on opening apps and switching between them. I supose that the screen takes a lot of power and this is one of the resons I have looked at the OnePlus One.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
If I wanted to try a custom rom before deciding if I should return the phone, is this possible? I need to be able to return it to the stock exacly as it was. What custom firmware would you suggest? Is there maybe a stable cm11 rom for the G3 international?

my friend has an aussie xt905, for some reason he's on stock but data doesn't work properly. only whatsapp works just for messages in text. can't send a photo or anything or any other app either through data.

i wanna help him out... any suggestions?

should i root it and flash a custom rom on it? or is there a workaround?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnr2020:
was wondering can i just root my m8 without flashing recovery all i want is to install adaway to block ads thats if someone could please advise
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Depending on what build you are on (newer ones can't go it), you may be able to fastboot boot recovery instead of flashing recovery. Once booted into recovery, you can flash SU or SuperSU.

You need to be bootloader unlocked either way. So I actually don't see a point in doing what you ask. Once you root, you can always install stock recovery again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnr2020:
ok thanks i get phone tomorrow so will give it a go i used to have s5 which was easy to root this sounds complicated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Every device and manufacturer has its own subtle differences and learning curve. Its really not what hard, just read up and make sure you understand before messing around with it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantrave07:
Follow this guide for rooting.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

but as redpoint73 said you have to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That is not exactly what I said. If the phone is 4.4.3 or 4.4.2, OP should be able to fastboot boot recovery without flashing it. Then flash SU/SuperSU. I've seen others do it this way, although I personally don't see much point to it.

But yes, bootloader still needs to be unlocked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantrave07:
yeah one can always flash the stock recovery after rooting.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Booting it instead of flashing it is better if you want to make a backup of stock recovery. Especially if it's Philz that you're booting since TWRP doesn't seem to make backups of the stock recovery anyways.

Using the dd command to make a "copy" of the recovery works if you're rooted and to be rooted you have to have custom recovery which doesn't help much since you lose stock recovery the moment you flash the custom one, but if you boot it and root then at least you can use the dd command if that is the way you want to make a "backup" of your stock recovery. Silly little circle to run around in :mad:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, I was aware of that; although it didn't seem to be the OP's goal. But thanks for pointing it out for their benefit.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnr2020:
thanks everyone for advice im sure i will get it right just one more quick question can you still upgrade with OTA when rooted or is it like other phones where you can not
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnr2020:

[G3 General] MrNutt:
So, finally got my G3 back, its bumped & running (the stable and quick) Cloudy.

But there's obviously the temptation to jump to the latest OS, but given that its Art not DVK and Xposed won't run (along with tweekbox etc) then its not looking like its worth it.

Although there does appear to be rooted options available now, but is are they really worth it? Is it any better? what differences are there?

And will my bumped bootloader still work ok or did it need to call home for the bump servers to run?

oh so many questions, anyone got any answers?

My thoughts are that I'll probably just hang back and stick with good old stable Cloudy. Unless you can persuade me otherwise.

cheers
[G3 General] WastedJoker:
The available lollipop roms don't even look complete so I'm going to hold off a while.
[G3 General] Sidz4u:
Dear OP, instead of making a new thread you could have asked the same in the Lollipop discussion thread which has been made sticky purposely to avoid threads like these. Thank you.
[G3 General] MrNutt:
almost made the jump last night as I got stuck with the "unable to contact google" and ended up having to reflash Cloudy to get the bloody thing to work (tried everything, reinstalling apks, modding the hosts, etc but no dice)

Now its running happily again.

And why didn't I post this in the lollypop sticky, to be honest I missed the thing! (again) my bad.
[G3 General] Magico94:
Also in the same situation, except I'm on stock ROM and waiting to decide either to flash a ROM of kitkat or wait till Cm 12 is stable..

Also would like to see your questions answered..
[G3 General] foxracer89:
I also have been on stock until yesterday. I did root and bumped. Change the horrible minfree and dpi, installed adaway, greenify and updated to lollipop. Well I havent done much testing, but for now I didnt encounter a single problem. It's more fluid and looking really good with Lollipop Theme. If you don't like you can always easily go back ;) I dont really see the point to ask is it worth it. Just do it. For me it was like 15 min. And if not liking always have a backup!:)

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] tghobar:
Hey guys,

Im another newbie, but who is actually scared of screwing up the phone. I have the Tmobile MDA compact III obviously, and the information page looks like this:

ROM version 1.13.114.1 NLD

ExtRom version 1.13.114.101

Model nr ARTE 110

CPU OMAP850

Im not so sure what this information tells you people who are knowledgable about this, however can I safely use the customised powermap file from this website's ftp (ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Artemis/Customized_ROMs/) to change the phone to english?

What are the procedures EXACTLY please, and what problems should I expect.

Another thing, what is CID lock, and how can I see if mine is or not?

I checked most of the threads, so I am knowledgable about this issue a bit, however because none of the topics were specifically about the Dutch version I wanted to make sure. Thank you a lot for your help...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dim4x4:
1. you have to CID unlock your phone. only real solution is imei-check website, and that will cost you $40. this will prevent MANY of the problems with installing ROMs

2. don't do updating on Vista PC, use XP or older

3. follow on screen instructions of your chosen ROM update utility. don't panic if it takes too long and looks like the update process has "freezed". make yourself a coffee and let it finish installing.

4. enjoy! :)

PS... i strongly suggest you read as much as you can on this forum before doing any upgrading.... then you'll know what to expect.... and of course, don't forget that only YOU are responsible for anything that happens to your device, good or bad... good luck!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] tghobar:
hey dim4x4,

thanks for the post, I appreciate it. However is the exe file I mentioned (customised power map) the right one? i know there are a few options to chose from, like the 3 options of the pdamobiz.com website. While im not too clear of the main differences, the general concensus on the forum is that the powermap is preferred, and has a lot of nice things. Is there a better one? perhaps on a different ftp. Maybe if you have one you can send it to me.

Another thing, if it dont work, or works and I dont like it, can I get back to my original ROM, the dutch one from the tmobile dutch file on the ftp site as well?

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dim4x4:
1. Personally, I use PDAmobiz Lite version. Powermap version has a map of Thailand which I don't need. "A lot of nice things" for my purpose is a lot of unnecessary stuff. If I need something I can install it myself into RAM or storage card. You have to choose the version which suits you best.

2. Everything is on this server. You have to register to log in http://www.wm-gurus.com/registration/signup.php

3. I went back and forth with different ROMs (versions, languages, etc.) without any problem until I found more or less what I want. Please note, my device is CID unlocked by imei-chek.

Good luck!

Urgent Help

I tried the powermap version of the ftp. This is exactly what I did:

I connected the phone and established contact through activesync, then I started the exe file. The DOS windows opened, and then it started initialiying, and the process started. It said that it will take 15-30 mintues, and the process has started. So far im sure everypone is familiar with those. However, I waited about 35-40 minutes, and still nothing different on either screens. The DOS window said however that if nothing starts I should reset the process. I tried but didnt work. At that time I tried to reset the phone and now it is stuck in the startup screen. All I see on it is the IPL/OS data, and it is not moving further.

Please help, what do I do now?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] tghobar:
So this is what I did so far....

1. Flashed with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (with device on Today screen)

2. The process started and stuck on "uploading file [don't remember] and as the instruction said I reseted the phone after 30 minutes.

3. All there is on is T-Mobile splash screen, version infos and that's it.

5. Tried to flash again in bootloader mode but the device was not visible by PC

How do I go from here? Maybe I need to flash the original rom version of the phone. I have the dutch tmobile mda compaxt III, but with the dutch ROM version on the ftp of this site is scary, because there are too many files and have no clue which one to flash.

Any suggestions?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] MrMagic:
There is no Dutch T-Mobile ROM available yet.

You could try the English T-Mobile ROM (art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe), which is available on this site: http://www.wm-gurus.com/registration/signup.php

There's a chance this ROM will work on your Dutch T-Mobile phone, if the signature is correct (I assume your phone is still CID locked).

Read this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets on how to enter the bootloader of your phone.

I Tried That Already; But I Got An Invalid Id: So I Dont Know What Else So Far: Do You Think I Have To Cid Lock The Phone To Be Able To Try The Other Versions?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fraggar:
CID unlocking isn't possible if your phone isn't working.

If you don't have your original rom, you have to contact your provider to repair it.

Hi I also did as u did but with a hards reset in the beginning.And it worked fine.read somewhere that if u dnt do a hard reset you could get into problems.If u can try to go to bootloader screen and try to flash from ther.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] tghobar:
flashing from the bootloader screen gives me an error, the file cannot recognize that a phone is connected to the PC. that is the biggest problem I think.

DO you know how to flash the Tmobile NL version on the ftp. there is one that I dont know how to use

Emulation || Running Lollipop 5.0 ROM on a Jellybean 4.2.2 device

Gentlemen,

I am a Gionee Elife E7 user. It runs on Jellybean 4.2.2. I wish to run this Lollipop 5.0 ROM on my E7.

But I dont want to flash it. Instead, I want to emulate it on my device. Like the same way how many people have run Windows XP on their Android device without actually disturbing the ROM installed on the device. I want to run this ROM on my Jellybean device. I guess this is known as Emulation.

Kindly provide help on this and the procedures required to do the same.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
This is not possible, and no one has been able to "emulate" Windows XP on Android. Windows is closed-source and Windows XP does not work on ARM, only on x64/x86 architectures. And yes I know you're talking about emulation, but what you're saying is unrealistic of doing a virtual machine on your phone to a newer version of Android.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
If you have titanium set to backup its data to the SD card the first time you launch it after flashing it will give you a pop up that says that the id has changed and asks if you want to change it back. Hit yes and the phone will reboot and it'll have the old id. Alternatively I think you can manage id's in titaniums settings as well

This looks like the easiest method yet! Is this root method compatible with decrypting? Ik some people have been reporting that with certain root methods they lose root after decrypting and re rooting makes them re encrypt.

If you decrypt then use fastboot to install twrp and flash SuperSU by chainfire you will stay unencrypted use the newest beta by chainfire.... Most of the root toolkits replace the kernel and it's back to encrypted that way
