[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ali812:
I have an offer through Kijiji to buy the Rogers LG G3 (D852). I am currently an owner of a Nexus 5. A lot of things about the G3 are very tempting for me especially in regards to camera and screen size with small bezels. However I also like trying out what third party development has to offer. After going through these forums most of what I see is simply for D855 and D850. So, a couple of questions:

1. Rooting and "unlocking" bootloader: Is Purpledrake compatible with the d852 and can the d852 be "bumped" to have TWRP?

2. Lollipop: I'm aware that LG G3 now has Lollipop but are any builds compatible with the d852?

3. "Stock Android": By this I mean "not LG's skin", is there any way to get stock android or anything similar (CM12/PA/etc.) onto the the LG G3? I plan to use LG's firmware for the most part but the option to load an AOSP rom would be nice.

4. Backwards compatibility with AT&T model: Would ROMs that are available for the D850 work with the D852 since both are similar hardware?

5. Debloating: After rooting, can the phone be debloated to increase performance? I'm assuming LG has added a fair share of bloated software onto the stock ROM.

I really want to own this phone (the Nexus 5 just has HORRENDOUS battery life and camera for me) but the only thing pushing me away is the lack of development, if these questions can be answered and I can at least be provided with some hope for the future I will definitely consider buying the G3, thank you for any help in advance!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
1. You can root it with Stump root

2. At the moment no.

3. There is CM12 but for D855. Carbon and Mahdi are also for D855. For D852 there is no AOSP rom.

4. No, it is not compatible.

5. Of course it can.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockwork58:
My D852 is rooted with Purpledrake and also BUMPED with TWRP recovery.

In the General section, read the Canadian Users thread and there are some converted D855 ROMS for D852.

ROMS are slowly but surely gaining traction. [I think there's a bit of a pause now as devs have moved from KK roms and now working on Lollipop ROMS]

[Android General] ArnoldGarry256:
There are many Tecno phones in my country but the Tecno H5 is by far the most common brand I've seen around. Below you'll find ClockworkMod recovery for the phone in case you need it.

Warning: I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage to your phone!!

Do it at your own risk!!​

How To Install Recovery:​

You must have a rooted phone (Use this thread)

Download a recovery image of your choice from download links below the post

Rename image to ‘recovery.img’

Download and install Mobileuncle Tools and install it on your phone

Open Mobileuncle Tools and grant it root permission

Scroll to ‘Recovery Update’

Select ‘recovery.img’

Tap ‘OK’ to confirm

Done.

You can boot into recovery mode (Start phone while holding the Volume Up button) to access new recovery.

Enjoy! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc_front:
I put LRX21O on my N5 by sideloading the factory image (incl the fresh cache and userdata images). Worked fine!

I used ChainFire's first(?) Lollipop Autoroot package. I don't see a version in there, but all its files are dated 11/14. As I understand it, that method needed to patch the kernel to keep root.

His new package (as of 11/25) uses another method, allowing the kernel to remain stock. I did not run the new CFAR, but I let SuperSU update from the market and update the SU binary ("normal" method, not booting into recovery).

My questions:

Did that also undo the kernel patching from the earlier root retention method?

If not, how do I go back to the stock kernel without losing any data?

Thanks! Hope these aren't dumb-ass questions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
Well as far as I know Cf auto root just booted into another customised kernel by chainfire and then rooted the system. It didn't flash a new kernel. Maybe he changed the ramdisk. Not sure about that. But since nothing got flashed I doubt he changed even that.

On how to flash stock kernel just use flashify to flash the img or do it using fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blowfly7012:
My understanding is that the ramdisk was changed, so that means the boot partition has been edited.

I just did a fastboot flash of the image:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If you're really concerned, you can also flash system and re-root using the newer SuperSU ZIP. Flashing boot or system doesn't wipe data. I didn't bother with re-flashing system. No ill effects as far as I can tell.

fastboot flash system system.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert_htc:
I've just flashed boot and system.

Then I had to reflash twrp.

Finally SuperSU. All working fine

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
I've had this thought for a while, but haven't found any practical way of implementing it, perhaps having it out to the broader public may help.

LTE or 4G, as we all know, is fast and great, but it also demands more on our batter than good old 3G.

These are some of the scenarios in which I would love an app, or OS be able to make smarter decisions about the network.

1. When connected to WiFi - When connected to WiFi, our battery life improves when compared to 3G or 4G, but I find sometimes that even though I'm connected to WiFi, my cell network is still connected to 4G (at home, my 3G signal is full bars, but 4G is 3/5), thus, wasting a bit of battery.

2. When phone is in low data use state, or lengthy sleep - Often, when I'm in the office for example, my phone sits there in standby for hours at a time (my emails come onto PC, plus I wear a moto360 so i check notifications there). In these modes, LTE is of little use for me, yet it can often spend hours in LTE standby.

I've looked into IFTTT, and messed with other software apps, but I always end up with the same conclusion, that is, this would have to be manually done...

does anyone know a way?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
If you have a root you can do with with xposed and gavitybox (smart radio). I think some other modules can do it as well.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Let me guess, not on Telstra. Battery life on mine with Telstra is superb, even with 1-2 bar signal. I guess that would be because it is a stable 1-2 bar, unlike the issues I had previously with Optus, were my phone would drop signal very often in built up areas
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Yes, not on Telstra, but that is besides the point here. This is not an AU specific thing. I travel internationally a lot for work, and this would be the same when I'm overseas. In fact, not complaining about battery life at all, just think that the way the phone manages its connections could be improved - this is not a problem on the Sony, but on most phones.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Good tip. Not rooted, not intending to.

[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
I have 30 TB per month, so that should not be a problem. Also the 10 GB of HD space is not an issue. So please count me in...

Understood and agreed. I hardly know anything about CM, this is why I was asking...

What's that? How do you launch it?

ACK.

Sure, here it is:

/system 549.8M 525.2M 24.5M 4096

Not much left, huh? But I'm sure we could squeeze out some megs (if required) by leaving out not strictly required stuff, such as wallpapers, sounds, etc...

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

I noticed that you're now referring to the "PA" GApps. Thanks for updating the original post (I guess that's what "OP" means).

I tried to install "pico", and even for that there is too little space available on /system (just 24.5M free as already mentioned elsewhere).

I will now free some space and try again...
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Ok, cool. I'm only just piloting the whole thing on ace and I need to think about the easiest way to make this work with separate servers as the setup currently requires things that need root access.

It comes with gapps and launches automatically on first boot to setup your Google account among other things.

Yeah, that's your issue with gapps. I already discussed this with kylon a while ago in IRC. Odexing will eat up much of the system partition which then pretty much prevents you from installing gapps there. Other than just removing things from system partition this needs to be taken care of during building by disabling odexing which in turn will increase first boot time and boot time after cleaning dalvik-cache but since it's a trade-off in any case I guess most will choose gapps over faster boot time. I just added the same commit to make odexing optional which is in use for ace. There should be more space on tomorrow's build.
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
Ah, root access would be an issue. I normally only install standard Debian packages, and I don't like to run things as root. Is there any way we could accomplish that? I realize that the FOTA server will probably not be a Debian package, but I would at least be able to run it as a non-privileged user...

Ah, that one. I just had that experience because I managed to install the pico GApps by freeing lots of space on /system... I was pretty aggressive removing wallpapers, TTS, and fonts (especially the latter freed LOTS of space, as I don't need Asian fonts etc.).

Ah, this is where the quick booting comes from... :)

It is indeed very nice, but in the favor of general usability of a build it's probably a good idea not to aggressively remove stuff as I did, but to save space by not ODEXing apps...

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

Thanks, that was exactly my problem as well. Which is why I regarded the package as "not useful for me."

As I wrote elsewhere I now managed to install the "pico" package from the below URL:

http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

But I was pretty aggressive deleting stuff from /system to free space...

As [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] indicated in the next nightly build there should be more space, so you could try to install the above package then...
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Well, the package requirements are quite simple but the system setup itself needs a bit adjusting things that require root access. Backend server itself is just apache + php. When you have time to drop by the IRC channel (assuming I'm around at the same time) we can discuss the specifics without going slightly off-topic here on XDA.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You can always use the /lib partition (not sure that Ace has this but Saga has a new partitioning scheme since hboot 2.x).

It has always been empty for any versions of CM as non of the devs ever used that space. I have used is once for odexing purposes on Sense ROMs - this thread

The lib partition is about 150 MB and residing on mmcblk0p28 if I remember correctly. The /system/lib directory (up to ~140 MB) can be mounted there in kernel ramdisk, while larger files that do not fit can be placed on data and symlinked. Hope this helps

Regards,

Stefan
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Yep, but even that will only mitigate the situation. Ace's newer layout features that useless partition also but we have instructed people to switch back to old layout because then system app dalvik-cache will fit nicely on cache partition and save space from data partition. With ART cache partition is currently pretty much unused though. I'm not sure if someone will forward port the CM feature to put system app dalvik-cache on cache partition instead of data for ART also. The next thing that will run out of space in general use is data partition and extending it gets very hacky already and I probably can't be bothered as storage size is only one of many things that will start hitting their physical limitations. After all, we are already rocking 6th major version since HTC left the house and it's already very nice achievement. :)

About The Latest Rom（20150102）

Hello,

I had flash the latest rom today,and i found something worked non-normally on this rom.

1.The flashlight work normally at first time but non-work after i reboot the phone.

2.When i long press the "quick setting's" button,it will suggest "Android System Stop"(In other rom it can open the detail setting)

3.The Music App and the third-part app will be work NOT smoothly(Just like UC Broweser,Tencent QQ,etc)

4.I can't use the Titanium Backup because I can not get the "root" access.

5.It seems the phone hotter then flash others rom.

That's my report after i use the rom for a day.

Thanks for your rom! It's great!

XD.

With today build?

About the camera: post a log.
[HTC Desire S] paulb_nl:
CM has reverted all the system dalvik-cache to /cache commits on CM11 so its probably not coming back. What we could look into is symlinking the /system/lib partition to /cache/lib so we can fit the odex files and gapps on system.
[HTC Desire S] SvAlex:
Rom build from 02.01, gapps from 25.12
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
Please have a look at this message: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57911284&postcount=183

If you are willing to pursue this approach (i. e. delete stuff from /system) I could create a list of what should be safe to delete...
[HTC Desire S] SvAlex:
Okay, for now I see the only way is delete something from system, so I`ll try to do this but only if I`ll not lost any important system functions by these deleting :)
[HTC Desire S] paulb_nl:
I have attached the camera wrapper with debug logging. Can you copy it to /system/lib/hw and get another logcat of the camera crash?
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Ah okay, I hadn't noticed that. That changes things a bit as cache partition has no use now and no probable use in the future either. If we can put that storage space in use I'm up for it as long as it can be implemented in a way that it doesn't require user-interaction and doesn't complicate things for users. Cache works quite differently than system though and I can already think a few issues with symlinking /system/lib there. Might be something worth investigating anyways. It's sad to waste ~290MB free space in our current situation.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
