Actually the "create a nova activities shortcut of gear vr setup wizard" method works fine here with the indian note 4.it downloads and installs the oculus app which runs fine and i can see the market. Imo it should mean that gear vr ll work fine here.

Sent from my SM-N910G
[Samsung Gear VR] andyjr:
Hi, I have a UK EE Samsung note 4 as well and really cant wait till UK Samsung decide to sell the gear VR. I installed the latest update Thursday. Has anyone tried a non US phone on the gear VR yet, I've been so close to ordering one off EBAY but still put back by having no warranty and if it will work or not.

super excited for its Indian launch but it's surely not coming December but probably January end if it's coming then we will get ota update around 2 weeks before so we can make it still time but yes I am excited and also patient rather than going to by any unofficial way
[Samsung Gear VR] Dub Tech:
If you can run the Oculus home app and not get a warning popup about requiring an update you're ready to use the GearVR.

Exynos handset owners are screwed at minute and receiving no support or communication from Samsung or Oculus.
[Samsung Gear VR] Kristech2011:
Does Any body have information when its going to launch in India!!!
[Samsung Gear VR] emperorsly:
Oculus Gear vr works in India

If you have a Note 4 (Snapdragon SM-910G) in India. You are good to go ahead and run the Oculus that is available in USA or elsewhere.

I got mine yesterday and it works. This is an awesome product..
[Samsung Gear VR] hashcheck:
Gear vr support is not in the stock Indian kernel. You have to run a customer kernel for it to function

I'm using the stock 4.4.2 TW ROM with the Google Now launcher. Other than using another launcher (which I don't want to do as I want the Google cards on the left most screen that comes with the Google Now launcher), how can I replace the standard Samsung TW very ugly phone dialer icon?

I've tried WizIconizer with an icon pack that is supposed to replace the OEM icons, but it doesn't work. Is there any other way to replace the standard TW icons for the phone dialer and camera?

Thought I would share this for those of you that only have 2 lines. Its a killer plan. The alternative before today was $120 for unlimited for 2 lines.

Official eFlyer:

https://app.box.com/s/wyawkrockk4khm14vgn3
[Sprint LG G3] Jocelyn:
Decent plan, but still not as good as two Sero lines :)
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
My old family plan, with 4 lines, unlimited data and text, unlimited mobile to mobile, and 2100 minutes of other calls, and 4 subsidized phones is still cheaper than the cost of this plus monthly payments on 4 phones.
[Sprint LG G3] ruff97:
hey hellot1M can you sent me this link. i do not see it on sprint site. this would low my bill by $40
[Sprint LG G3] ruff97:
I called sprint today about this and no one know about this
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
The monthly payments on the phones is the killer part. So this might as well be $130-$140 per month.
[Sprint LG G3] Dvin211:
I switched over today, took them a minute to find it. I was already on Sprint with a G3 and S4. I didn't seem to effect my upgrade's. The dates are still the same. This will be a pretty sweet deal if they apply my discount along with it.
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
If anyone wants to switch to this and the employee doesn't know what you are talking about tell them they need to add the soc code for it. IT is working on getting this fixed to show automatically and won't have it available in the systems till the 18th or 19th

SOCs: REQLPRO, REQ3PRO, REQBPRO and REQWPRO

Or just tell them to check their damn email lol
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
It really depends on the customer. this plan won't save everyone money but I have a encountered a few that it did. If you are on the framily plan with 2-3 lines and the ID has 7 or more then this is not for you. If you are on the sero plan, then please NEVER leave!! Lol if you only have one line. Then stay away from this. Talk to your rep and see what's best. Keep in mind this is not discountable so make sure you take that into consideration before switching.
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
Its an internal email so I have no way of sending you a link. Just like most new plans, you will have to go into a direct or indirect sprint store for new offers. The website and customer care usually won't have these available the first few weeks. This isn't advertised just yet and may never be. It even states in the email that we should use this plan as a last option, meaning its probably temporary. I haven't received any other notification that its permanent or temp so that's just a guess
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
Also for those interested, the G3 and M8 are still on sale from black Friday. The G3 is down $20 a month and the M8 is down to $15.
[Sprint LG G3] Dvin211:
In my case I have 2 lines and with my discount I was paying $151. My discount is 18%, I had 2 lines both with unlimited talk,text and data. I also had the $11 insurance on both lines. Looking at my bill my discount was $10.80. So even without my discount I should be looking at $141.80. That's a saving of $9.20. I'm happy with that.

HelloT1m I called in to Sprint and was able to secure this plan. I just said I saw it online. She put me on hold for a few min when she came back she said she found it.

I think she was confused about it though. At first she said it wasn't available till Jan 12, when she tried putting on for that day she came back said she was able to add it today.
[Sprint LG G3] sinnedone:
Do you still have a 2 year upgrade on this plan?
[Sprint LG G3] ruff97:
I called Sprint again today about this plan the rep did not know anything about the plan so I gave him the code SOC he found what I was talking about but did not know how to apply to my account. so he gave me this 866-412-9241 to call and see if they can apply to my account. I called the number and rep also did not know nothing about it neither. so I gave him the code too but kept on looking for excuses telling me that he can't find the plan i was talk about. then when he finally found the plan he tried to say my bill would go higher if I changed to this plan, but didn’t tell me how my plan would go up. he gave me a manager to speak to then the manager there try to tell me if I go to this plan charge me additional $15 per line and it was for only meant for new customers
[Sprint LG G3] Dvin211:
They are lying, I've been a Sprint customer for 7 years. Here is a screenshot of my account plan after she made the change.

[IMG="Sprint plan"]http://i62.tinypic.com/29p29dz.jpg[/IMG]
[Sprint LG G3] ruff97:
I know they are will try again tomorrow
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
BTW this plan is focused on new customers or customers out of contract. If you are still in a 2yr contract this will be a little harder to get into

Edit: lol I may have forgotten the second screenshot
[Sprint LG G3] hellot1M:
https://app.box.com/s/wyawkrockk4khm14vgn3

Here is the eflyer. This has ALL in the info on this plan. Be sure to read all the small print. There is a $25 fee if you are still in a contract.
[Sprint LG G3] twig123:
I'm also interested to know this is well.

Can anyone confirm if the 2 year phone upgrade is still available with this plan, or does it get switched to the Easy Pay (or w/e it's called)?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ocelot13:
I bought the Nexus charger as well, I could barely get it to charge my N6 without a case. Boxed it back up and its sitting unused. Bought a Tylt Vu, through my N6 on it while in a Ringke Fusion and it started to charge no issue.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NADRIGOL:
Got my Tylt Vu in the mail yesterday. It's brilliant. Charges very easily, and really doesn't seem to care about the case. I can even fold the cover on the Stand Folio case back and it will charge through it all. Definitely worth the money spent.

Thanks for the info. I've been on the fence about purchasing a QiStone+ for quite a while... still am. I just had an Aukey Luna dropped of at my door step. Can't wait to see/try it.

I should add that the Tylt Vu was the only charger I tested able to charge the N6 in the Spigen Wallet S Case.

[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Update: I found an even better solution. Instead of setting "dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m" use "dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m"

Warning! Please make a backup of your /system partition using recovery incase you get a bootloop from changing vm heapsize. Don't go below 128m as it may cause a bootloop.

If you want additional memory you can download "Ram Manager Free" from the Google playstore and set up a disk swap. Within the app, go to swap and delete the given directory and set it to "/cache and use a value of 256 MB. It won't steal from your already limited storage as it will use the cache partition which goes mainly unused. Warning though as it may degrade your internal storage from constant writing. If you ask me I don't care about degradation of my Moto G as I plan to get a better phone soon. I only recommend you use swap with the stock kernel as there is virtually no lag. I tested with other kernels and there is noticeable lag.... Aero Kernel lags noticeably and so does faux kernel. Oh! and make sure you set it to balanced and check the apply at boot option to stick. I stopped using swap, but you can try for yourself to see if you like it.

This is for the Moto G XT1034 as I don't know if the build.prop is different for the other variants, but you can always check if you have the duplicate entries.

While going through the build.prop of the stock 4.4.4 ROM I found duplicate entries of the same value with different parameters. The culprit being "dalvik.vm.heapsize" seemed to have been causing my music apps force closing when there was "insufficient" RAM. Other apps running in the background can also be killed like night screen filters while browsing the web using Chrome just to name another. You'll find two entries called "dalvik.vm.heapsize=36 and dalvik.vm.heapsize=256." They are the same value, but with different parameters. I deleted the one for "36m" and my multitasking issues disappeared without changing the MINFREE TASKKILLER values. I used Performance Control that can be found here on XDA to edit the build.prop. When you delete "dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m" make sure you re-add the value "dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m" because deleting one deletes BOTH! My screen filter app "EasyEyes" has yet to be killed by low memory situations.

Why would Motorola include duplicate entries of the heapsize? I'd like to be enlightened on why they included both.

NOW, your music app may be killed if you run very low on memory, this happens when you use chrome and view heavy pages, so modifying your MINFREE TASKKILLER values may be of additional assistance. I attached a screenshot of MINFREE values if you want to use my values, although I'm not using them since I'm using stock values. At the end of the day you have to understand that 1GB is now "low-end" and is simply not enough for multitasking anymore on Android. Apps are becoming larger and browsers and websites are becoming more complex; more RAM is needed. As soon as you open Chrome expect your apps to be killed since it needs at least 200 MB to run adequately.
[Moto G General] ammarr:
Any reports of success with this? I just sold my Moto G last week because of the multi tasking issue... if this solves 90% of the problem, that would be pretty awesome.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
I updated this with an even better solution. Set dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m to dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m to make the phone much less likely to kill apps in general.

Also, can anyone please tell me what the storage is like with stock lollypop? I've used art runtime on my 8GB moto g and reverted back to dalvik because my storage was nearly full. If that's still the case then I will keep my moto G running 4.4.4 forever... well until it dies. :D
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
My phone isnt booting up can you plz tell me how to fix this, i changed it to 128m and its not booting up
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Did you follow the direction? Using Performance control edit build.prop. Delete "dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m and re-add the value "dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m" and click apply? Anyways what phone model are you using?

Anyways, I assume you followed accordingly, so you should have made a backup of your system partition using your preferred recovery. To undo the changes made boot into recovery and restore system partition. That will make the phone boot. If you didn't, then if you know can always restore using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

OR you can flash a stock rom zip from here "http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Can you get your stock build.prop with the heapszie 256m and then plz go into recovery and then use adb pull /system/build.prop c:\ and the give it to me so i can flash it through recovery, i think that would work because i have a flashable zip with a build.prop but its not for this phone so i need to replace it with another, i have the stock moto g build . prop but i cant edit it with windows.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
This is the stock build.prop untouched for my Moto G XT1034 AWS firmware

It's not flashable, you'll have to make it a flashable zip
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
The phone refused to boot up so now i am trying another step to only flash system files 0 1 2 and hopefully that will work!!!

Suprisingly enough that worked and nothing has been deleted and everything is how it is suppose to be! I have all my applications and my backgrounds and files intact!!! Add this in your tutorial if anyone faces the issue, flash the system files.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
That will definitely work. Remember to always make a backup of your system when making changes to /system.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Also may i ask if you can possibly clear up your tutorial please since it confused me a lot and i must of done something wrong to f my phone. Thanks. Im just confused i have the build editor from Jrummy apps and it has the two 36m and 256m, now i deleted the 256m and then edited the 36m to 128m is that correct ?
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Don't use the ones on the playstore. I had trouble with them in the past when it came to editing the build.prop on this phone. Use Performance Control from XDA http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads Make sure you install busy box from the playstore as it is needed for the app to work. Make sure you make a backup of you /system in recovery first. Once performance control is installed, swipe left until you get to the tools tab. Scroll down until you see "Edit build prop" Delete both entries for 36m and 256m. To delete press and hold and it will ask if you want to delete. Press apply values to save. Now click on the menu button that has three dots and select "add parameter" and enter "dalvik.vm.heapsize" for Name and enter "128m" for value and press save. Make sure you press on apply values and reboot.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Thank you so much for the help! I think i have finally did it! I only have the 128m when i check with es file explorer and i guess it is all fine! Is there a way i can confirm my thing is 128m ?
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Well you can install RAM Manager free from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.RAMOptimizationFree&hl=en Go to "Extra" and select VM Heap Size it should read 128m. Also, listening to music should not be killed when multi-tasking. Apps such as iHeartRadio would always get killed when browsing the internet with Chrome. It doesn't happen anymore on my end. Also if you're not worried about your phones internal ssd from degrading you can set up a swap file to disk. Under Extra select swap file and delete the default directory and type "/cache" without quotes and set it to 256mb. It'll use the cache partition, so you'll still have your disk space for apps. It may degrade the life of your Moto G because of the constant writes, so it's up to you if you want to set up a swap. AND set it on Balanced on the main tab and check set on boot. Only do this on the stock kernel as I noticed lag on other kernels. Anyways you don't have to use swap or the ram manager app after your verify vm heap is 128m. I don't use it as just setting 128m vm heap no longer kills my music apps.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
I think I found the real problem of the aggressive app killing. Go back to build.prop in performance control and change 128m back to 256m. Apply to save. Now go back and look for this value "ro.MAX_HIDDEN_APPS=12" and delete it; press and hold to delete. I'm testing it as of today, so if you can test it too let me know if it reduces the frequency of app killing aggressiveness. iHeartRadio has not been killed while browsing in Chrome for me. Thanks.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Changed it and let me do a few tests, I usually get SoundCloud to crash

When I load clash of clans...
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Okay, let me know how thing go :)
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Listening to SoundCloud and playing clash of clans caused home screen to reload icons when pressing home button.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Oh a launcher redraw is to be expected if you're playing a game and listening to music. 1GB is just not enough to maintain everything in memory. Did soundcloud close though? Last time I checked it was a RAM heavy application.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Currently with your settings + a build.prop code for the launcher to keep it in ram i am not experiencing any issues, also i have installed Rom toolbox pro which comes with build.prop editor and many other cool features, one being the minfree value changer, others have reported using the aggressive min free values from minfreemanager helps out so i am using that in romtoolbox and everything is in one single app so its nice and tidy, i recomend you give it a shot
[Moto G General] jmonster141:
Seems to work on lollipop as well!
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Thanks for testing it out. Be forewarned that lowering the the minfree values too much may cause a loss of performance withing your apps. On the flip-side it increases multi-tasking because it triggers garbage collection more often than at stock values. I'll clean up the main post later in the week to make things more clear. Did you end up staying with a 128m or 256m?

What part worked? Sorry, I've mentioned different tweaks in this thread that I don't know which exactly worked. I need to clean it up to make it clear and concise. Also, how's the storage use like? I'm worried that I might only be able to have a few apps installed due to Art runtime.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
I switched back to 256m like you said i should do with your new fix and also i have flashed lollipop and the storage for me was similar, im not sure but it wasnt too bad, i guess its the same as kitkat with art enabled.
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
That's good to hear! The increased storage had me a bit worried since I own an 8GB Moto G. I hope viper4android works on lollipop officially without tweaks in the near future though since it makes a world of a difference.
[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
Mate, i made a video on all of this, if you want to you can add it to the first post of yours :@ [YOUTUBE]WvcDfXeaxbs[/YOUTUBE]
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Wow! How nice of you. I was about to post another fix too. Try setting VM heap to 512m. I did it today and my launcher has yet to be redrawn after browsing chrome. I'm still testing it. This is for KitKat as I don't know if it works on lollipop. Also I'm using ram manager free from play store with the balanced setting. I'm going to clean up the OP over the weekend and add your video. Thanks
[Moto G General] :
Isn't this 36M value you are changing for graphics, completely different from the 256 dalvik vm value below in the build.prop under additional build properties?
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
Nope, 36m and 256m conflict each other as they call the same parameter with a different value. I deleted both and recreated it with a VM heap of 512m and my multi tasking problem was fixed. No more launcher redraws after exiting chrome. And most importantly Google play music doesn't stop randomly.

Hey all. I've been unsuccessful(UPDATE: now successful) in getting my new tablet rooted.

Its an HP 8 G2 (1411) tablet. Ive tried SRSroot, towelroot, cydia impactor and root genius....all have failed misersably.

The 1401 at least gets rooted but has that restart problem....this one doesnt even get that far.

Anyone have suggestions on how to crack this baby? Its on kitkat 4.4.2
[General Questions and Answers] sagemaster2000:
So I was able to get this rooted with NO REBOOT ISSUE!!!!

I downloaded PDAnet+ from play store and for the PC. It loaded a daemon on my tablet but was unable to root (took forever). Once done I downloaded KINGO Root and it successfully rooted my tablet in minutes. Root Checker verified SuperSU permissions granted all good to go. Hope this helps others.

YOU MUST INSTALL PDANET AND TRY ROOT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. IT SEEMS PDANET PREPS THE TABLET FOR KINGO TO SUCCESSFULLY ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!
