[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksd:
I had the Galaxy S III and got the Note 4 - not the comparison you were looking for but I'll share my experience. I live in Seattle, where Sprint is expanding LTE coverage. But my S III reception was never great. Driving around today, I was in one area where my Speedtest result was 48Mbps download, almost twice what I see on my home Comcast network. Measurements in the 10-20Mbps were more the usual case. But compared to my S III, both reception and download speeds are significantly improved - this alone made the upgrade worth it to me. I couldn't be happier with this device at the moment.

Does anyone else have these issues?

»Extremely low process limit: Apps seem to get killed from memory almost as soon as you press home or switch apps. (Constant reloading of the Otter home screen when pressing home due to it being killed in the background). The worst part is that even music apps are killed while listening to.

Edit:solved! Looked through process stats from.developers options and disabled the high memory services via adv block.

»Periodically slow/laggy on screen keyboard.

Any work arounds or info would be great. Thanks!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] gavin19:
Could you give a quick overview of how/what you blocked. I know we can't remove the Amazon-related background processes/apps but I'd love to be able to block some of them if possible.

I gave up and switched to Swiftkey, although it has its own issues.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
well I found out it is not fully solved but it occurs less. To block a system app you need adb and drivers set up on your computer. Type: "adb shell" and then look through the processes on your device and it gives the package name. such as com.google.whatever. to block type:"pm block com.google.whatever".
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] gavin19:
Cheers. Got it. I'm in the shell unblocking the default launcher after the 4.5.2 update anyway. For whatever reason it won't start Nova immediately after an update so I have to unblock/reinstall Nova/block to get it back working again. Thanks again.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
The update seems to have helped. will need to test the keyboard again

Just wondering....

I'm trying to make Tasker disable my pattern lock and make it swipe instead, and automatically activate WiFi Calling, can't figure out how though lol -_- I have the newly updated Secure Settings too btw.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon57:
I have Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin as well. I am pretty savvy with Tasker, but it isn't playing well with the S5 yet. Are you signed up for the latest Secure Settings beta? If not, I recommend you do so. The author is enhancing the plugin to support some of the S5 specific features. The problem is a lot of the S5 stuff is currently broken. We just have to be patient while everything is being worked on.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinman07a:
My friend just got this phone and really wants to root it, but he also doesn't want to deal with the recovery every time he needs to update. So, is there any app that he can use to automatically backup the /system partition, reset it, and after the OTA restore it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benwalburn:
It's recovery or deal with fastboot. All you can do is manually unroot and revert mods. You're better off using the recovery, it's not difficult.

Also, if you backup your system, update it, then restore it, then you're back on the old version.

Hi. I'm going to install this ROM for my mother's SM-T311.

Does it resolve the lag? I use it for studying medicine and viewing slides and I hate that lag feel and too much bloatware inside.

Any known bug?

I'm not a newbie in rooting and modding but I don't want to listen my mother's screams if it crashes or photocamera doesn't work or something like this.

Thank you

Is it possible to get back the samsung alarm widget somehow?

This has worked good on my sm-t311. But i miss the alarm widget. No widgets from google play is as good as the samsung one.

Is there some apk's i could put back in the system/apps folder to make it work again?

I found an alarmwidget.apk in some other place and got the widgetback, but it just throws an error about alarm closed when i try to click on the widget.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rmuraoka:
Hi,

Has anyone had similar experience and (better yet) a solution to my issue with wifi connections since upgrading to 5.0?

After the update my Ultra Z GPE losses connection to my home wifi, and other wifi (public wifi,, friend's wifi). Once this happens the wifi app in settings does not see/list the wifi connection. I've tried turning wifi off/on, and refresh but my home wifi (and the public and friend's wifi) do not appear as available. The only solution I've found is to power off and back on again. But doing this several times a day is a pain.

TIA
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rmuraoka:
Well my situation has changed, and perhaps a little less of a pain. Even though in Settings it shows my wifi is connected I am still frequently losing the connection. My apps (i.e., Google browser, Google Now, other apps, etc) do not load/refresh and indicate "No network connection. But now I can resolve the problem by toggling wifi off and on. Better than powering off and on but still a pain.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zost:
If your device is rooted try Wifi Connection Fixer ROOT by Zextr. The link is

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rmuraoka:
Thank you for your response. But no my device is not rooted. However, I believe I found the cause of my wifi issue. Separate from my wifi issue I was having some issues with Google Now. So, I uninstalled the Google Now launcher. Guess what? My wifi issue is gone. I have not lost wifi connection since I uninstalled the Google Now launcher.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
First of all I must say that I take no credit for this recovery whatsoever.

It is a modified TWRP v2.8.1.0 that is posted by [MENTION=3717338]hoangnova[/MENTION] over at lgviet.com - Link:http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/lg-g-pro-f240lsk-e988-e980-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0.33587/

We are now in the early developmental stages of Android L and the last version of TWRP that I could locate here at XDA for the E980 was v2.6xx. I feel that we have a need for the latest version of this recovery now that we are transitioning over to Lollipop. With that said, the following is copied straight from his post over at that site.

TWRP Recovery SELinux support only for the rom install or extract img style set_metadata.

- Works well on all the GPRO and GK: E988, E980, and F220K F240LSK.

- Full SELinux support: That means you have can flash the rom CM 4.4, 5.0 or higher (set_metadata).

- USB-OTG Support

- Support for MTP - can copy the data directly to your phone when you are in Recovery

- Support screenshot of Recovery [hold Power + volume controls]

- Supports backup IMEI (EFS)

- Support Hard reset using hardware keys: Hold the Volume Down + Home and resources.

- Can operate on both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 (even 5.0)

Installation: The first download listed is a flashable ZIP file that can be flashed through whatever recovery you have installed now. Not recommended if your are running a stock based ROM as it causes a "boot certification error" after flashing. Only use the flashable .zip file if you are already running a custom ROM based on CM source.

For those of you that are running a stock based ROM, please use Flashify to flash any of the three .IMG files that are listed below. Descriptions are in the download links.

Note: If you are running a custom ROM that is based on CM source, yet want to use one of the themed versions below, it is safe to use Flashify to install any of the recovery .IMG files below to your device.

All devs, please feel free to use this as a building block to obtain a reliable TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery for our E980 device.

UPDATE 12/24/2014: Attachment downloads have been removed and all links are now directed to my 4Shared storage. The account has a 3GB per day / 30GB per month limit so I am hoping that it will be satisfactory for our download needs. If anyone would like to set up a mirror, please feel free to do so and PM me with links that I can add to this post.

UPDATE 12/24/2014 - Part 2: This version of TWRP for our G Pro devices now supports SD card in recovery mode!

Many thanks to [MENTION=5208556]soralz[/MENTION] , [MENTION=6079287]culot[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3717338]hoangnova[/MENTION] for delving into the code and providing us with this excellent recovery for our G Pro devices!

All of the above is assuming that your device has already been rooted and a custom recovery installed via the FreeGee method first. Do not flash anything posted in this thread before obtaining root and installing a custom recovery first!

Download Links:

Happy flashing but flash at your own risk.

I assume no responsibility for any damages incurred by doing so.

Now, some legal mumbo jumbo:
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Awesome! Thanks!

Just wondering... I was using it for a while and does work great. Then, tried to get cyan delta up and running with it today. It seemed to give an error. I then tried it with philz and worked fine.

Is anyone using the two together and experiencing it, or just me?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
[MENTION=3717338]hoangnova[/MENTION] - Can you shed some light as to why flashing BlissPop v1.1 with this recovery would fail?

By the way, thank you for a recovery that might possibly be modified to work with our device! It seems that it just needs a few bugs ironed out to be fully functional with the E980 for AT&T.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Fant0m3:
Thanks

Do you know if the source is over on git Im gonna look for it in a bit just wondering if anyone has found it?

Im hoping the sources are not so far off as I had came up with a fix for the 2.6.3.3 FreeGee TWRP as it had the same problem wondering if it will be a patch or full blown rewrite.....Anyways I am slow on dev work 3 kids wife and I am a newb but I am or will be working on it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
[MENTION=3717338]hoangnova[/MENTION] may possibly be able to provide source. Not sure how often he checks in here though. I think that the more we could get working on this, the better our chances would be.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Fant0m3:
Yup agreed

I agree but I'm pretty slow at this developer stuff as I've taught myself everything and you know wife and kids and all that BS kind and limit my ability and availabilityI'll eventually find a solution it just may not be in a timely fashion:)

Modified TWRP 2.8.1.0 to E980

Hi guys, I am using the TWRP a while ago and realise this TWRP almost can't flash any ROM on it for ex. CM11 Nightlies. So I made some modifications to this recovery using simple Android Kitchen. By editing it's default.prop. This recovery is simply taken from f310lr (which preventing us from flashing other ROM because it's a LG GX!) more info.

Summary of changes can refer attachments below.

Working:

Everything, except can't mount External SD Card, now you can flash like a boss. :D

Download

Flashable zip, with the modified recovery and another one is simply the *.img file. Flash with Flashify or similar app.

Extra, TWRP Materialised theme.

It has been modded to fit my taste for welcoming Lollipop, if you want the TWRP theme simply place it to /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Hopefully we can get the latest version of twrp going. From the change log it looks like the latest has fuller 5.0 features.
[LG Optimus G Pro] eocobby721:
Does it work on lollipop roms?
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
I suppose the pic can tell you. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
[MENTION=5208556]soralz[/MENTION]. Thanks for sharing. My comment on latest version was not meant to follow what you shared it was just a comment in general.

The twrp looks great!
[LG Optimus G Pro] eocobby721:
Thanks. I asked because I flashed it once n couldn't flash any lollipop rom except da Chinese cm12 ROM. Once again thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Verified by yours truly. I flashed this recovery and used it to flash BlissPop v1.3 with no problems whatsoever. Now if only we can get someone that knows their beans to fix the problem with external SD not mounting.
[LG Optimus G Pro] arek78:
I installed it on "LG optimus G" TWRP 2.6.3.3 from FreeGee of GooglePlay

Guys now I can install this TWRP 2.8.1.0. Recovery through. I repeat that I TWRP 2.6.3.3.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Optimus G, or Optimus G Pro? Which do you have? If it is a G Pro, yes you can flash this one using the twrp 2.6.3.3 that you installed with FreeGee.
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
*Only works on custom ROM, if you are on stock you will get boot verification error.
[LG Optimus G Pro] arek78:
So I can not install on Stock 4.4.2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
From a lengthy dissection of its innards, it looks like it was cobbled together mainly from parts of Nexus 5 and G2 recovery stuffs, and isn't even trying to load the external_sd. There also seems to be several other discrepancies, where its targeting a Nexus 5 or G2, when it should be targeting the almighty G Pro.

Take a look at the '/etc/twrp.fstab' -- it's missing '/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 flags=display="Micro SDcard";storage;wipeingui;removable', which I think may be a culprit in the lack of SD.

I've taken my undisciplined hand at fixing these issues, but I can never seem to repack the goddamn thing properly. I got sad skillz.

EDIT: I just noticed when you 'unpackbootimg' it provides all the info to repack properly. Friggin' duh, yo. :) Testing time! *crosses fingers and legs and black cats*

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Is it Lokification error/lack?

Your link doth stink. :P Exactly what is this 'recovery.img' you have there, where is it from.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Okay, got it:

- Open ADB shell while in OP's TWRP 2.8:

mount -t /system /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
mkdir /external_sd
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw" >> /etc/fstab
mount -t /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

Now the microSD is mounted at '/external_sd'. It does not show up on your computer when you enable MTP though; and next time recovery loads, those changes will be gone, so you have to do it all over again -- that is until someone bakes a fixed twrp.fstab into a recovery.img and/or flashable zip (my attempts so far go bootloops at the LG logo, every time).

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Have you tried using the Sphinx APK to install it? Just worked on my stock Kitkat 20g.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
This Omnirom TWRP Recovery and this guide should do fine. You'll have to tinker in the e980 stuff though. You can use the configuration files from OP's version to start with, and then make proper wtih e980 device specifics. This TWRP repo for a Japanese version of the phone holds some solid leads.

It compiled fine for me early this morning, but would not boot. But! After spending many hours since then learning how it really works, I'm certain when I take another crack at it tomorrow that it will be simple to get working. So close, yet so burned out for today.
[LG Optimus G Pro] g0at1:
Nice to know it.

One question, are you aware the latest twrp version is 2.8.5?

Thx
[LG Optimus G Pro] nerdyblonde:
Have you guys had any issues with dirty flashing erasing all data just like a clean flash does? Whenever I would flash Bliss, it would overwrite everything even of I didn't wipe anything.. All my apps were gone.. I went back to Madmacks twrp, and didn't have that issue.. Sorry if it's been mentioned previously.. Thanks guys!
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Yup, I drink straight from the tap. :)

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Dmesg + recovery.log: it's the one true way.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Okay then: I think it's stable and fully-functional. F2FS support is not completed, but the kernel tweaks to fix that will be simple. This might be the one.

I'd recommend not using the TWRP 2.5 Play/Dark/Light themes -- I think either they're majorly bugged, or something in my builds is causing them to display internal storage incorrectly -- both on my G2 and the E980. I'm not sure about this yet, but I do know the stock theme seems to function fine. I may be totally wrong about this, just FYI yo.

I backed up all partitions, restored them; I flashed the latest BlissPop, flashed Banks GApps -- all hitchless and flawless in execution, as far as I can tell (the logs look surprisingly clean, cleaner than my G2 builds, and with greater stability).

I forgot to include my thermal tweaks from my previous builds, so I don't think this one runs as cool. After leaving it in TWRP while plugged into USB for like 30+ minutes, it got hot, but not scarily hot like those older TWRP builds got (like 2.6x etc). I wouldn't leave it plugged in like that, but it should in no way get dangerously hot, and should be safe.

I can't get the postrecoveryboot.sh to product_copy over, not on this build nor on my G2 builds, so it's probably not clearing the bnr_recovery whatchajigger. I do not know what effect that may have, and I cannot figure out how to get my goddamn script to copy over correctly. It is mystery.

I only had like 3 hours with my brothers e980 to test this with, so there may be issues and whatnot that haven't broken the surface, so.. who knows. :)

Download: twrp_250-e980-test53.img

I'll throw it in a flashable ZIP tomorrow, I am out of steam for today.
[LG Optimus G Pro] g0at1:
First of all I'd like to thank you for the great effort your putting on this recovery.

Regarding your difficulties, have tried to contact the twrp people at #twrp*irc channel?

I'm sure that they could easily guide you through the last steps to perfect the build.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks once more for helping us.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ecrum:
dear is there any way you would help us F240k/L ....

Though i use this on my f240k (just external SD say 0mb)
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Yah, sure. It should be trivial to build one for a f240k. I was actually just perusing the differences between the f240k and the e980 while digging into the Gpro lollipop kernel code, so this request comes at a good time. :) As long as the e980 one here works fine, it should be simple to alter it for the f240k -- some fstab here, some defconfig... (or it looks like it should be easy. it always seems that way at first. )

EDIT: Maybe provide a recovery.log, dmesg/kmsg, maybe something like this while inside the recovery:

adb root
adb remount
adb pull /cache/recovery.log recovery240.log
adb shell dmesg > dmesg240.log
adb shell blkid > blkid240.log
adb shell "ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/*" > partinfo240.log
adb shell mount > bullwinkle240.log

I think that would about cover it... ? Best yet would be to do that after you've ran through TWRP's options, particularly any that don't work. Though I think just having those logs right there should provide enough to figure out the problem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Flashable ZIP is no more. -- there may be an issue with the external SD card. According to my brother AKA Patient Zero, "can't flash from external sd in recovery HELP cant restore or install anything I'm toast. help!!!". I seemed to be able to backup and restore the external-SD just fine, but I'll test a debug again in a couple days. :| It may just be he's a whiny lil' punk, but maybe not.

Github sources:

android_device_lge_e980

android_device_lge_gproj-common

android_kernel_lge_gproj

The Github stuff is messy right now, but I'll have that fixed up after I shoehorn F2FS and a few other fixes later this week -- also full build instructions, so anyone will be easily be able to build the latest TWRP.

Apparently f240 models have external SD card problems with this build, so anyone who tries this build that is made explicitly for the e980 I would appreciate some logs, then we can get this working for all Gpro models. I'm certain the variation between the e98x and f240x models could be easily remedied. I have no access to any f240 models, so logs would be much appreciated. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
Seems working fine for new version .

And different between flashable and IMG ?

[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
