Number 1 and 3 will come when LG pushes Lollipop. We'll get G3 UI and with that comes recents button.

Only question to that is, will KitKat which we have now be better than future and possibly buggy Lollipop.

2 can be fixed by root but I think you already know that ;)

And also, you can flash ROMs with [All Variants] on the thread title. So you can have G3 ROMs now. And yes, they are stable :D

For the 20E Vodafone firmware go here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G2-Tutti-36.html

Now you are all set. Enjoy!
[G2 General] leonbarroso:
I've made this move too

G2 over N5

Double or more battery life

More megapixel on câmera

5% more screen

option to have an 'stock' and 'pure' ROM

video 1080p60Hz and 2160p30Hz

32GB (some)

N5 over G2

little bit faster

camera with PkmX/lcamera alow to have full control and much better low light photos

Here in Brazil, N5 is more expensive to resell

Thanks, thanks and thanks again! :D
[G2 General] player911:
Yea Root is

mandatory

for the G2 IMO. I've stayed on the stock experience because I really love the perks and features of the LG rom.

I personally use a G3 Rom Port. Works beautifully and has options for changing the nav buttons to include Recent built into the rom.

OR just install Xposed and G2 Tweakbox or G3 Tweakbox (depending on what you are using).

AND CHANGE THE DPI to 400!

So much better at 400 (or 380).

The NavBar keys do not require root. Just download the APK and install:

The G3 rom ports DO have ART support... but XPOSED doesn't support ART... so half dozen 6 in the other. Xposed > Art so I stick with DALIK
[G2 General] npiper05:
Thanks for the post. Trying to decide between N5 and G2.
[G2 General] wulsic:
I also had to make that decision I suggest the G2 since its actually in almost every way better and it costs now around the same pruce but you get better hardware and software. If you want the nexus feeling just flash a aosp rom on it.
[G2 General] npiper05:
Thanks. I keep going back and forth. The specs on the G2 do seem superior. I guess I just need to see how hard it is to unlock bootloader and flash roms on G2. I'm pretty comfortable using Fastboot.

Do the buttons on the back of the device bother you? I just don't know anyone with a G2 and I know several with a Nexus 5.
[G2 General] alb3rtt:
They don't at all. Only issue i have with them is that when my phones on a table, i cant change the volume. Otherwise, they work much better than standard buttons. The first few days are awkward though, specially when you keep pressing the camera lens instead of the power button :p

I also

LOVE

the fact that they allow for the amazingly thin bezels. Truly makes this phone look and feel amazing.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well you can't unlock bootloader yet this isn't only the fault from LG because Providers also want the bootloader to stay locked but we can flash normally roms now using loki/bump so it's not the biggest issue anymore but it will be alot easier if it will get unlocked. Well you could use fastboot but then you need a mod from savoca to acces it like that. I was also used to fastboot on my nexus4 but I will tell you once you have the G2 you wouldn't care much anymore. I was a big flashaholic and now I am mostly staying on the CloudyG3 rom because of it's great features and camera app which aren't fully working on AOSP roms. But once we will get multiboot fully working on the G2 we will feature lollipop and G3 stock rom :good:

It doesn't bother me at all, first I thought that it was going to be a big obstacle but I really like them at the back, easy to control for me and with knockon and knockoff it's perfect, although like alb3rtt said before, volume changing when the phone is on the table is sometimes annoying but it's not a big deal since you got the volume slider in the status bar when you are on stock atleast.

again like alb3rtt said, the first days were indeed awkward because I also touched the whole time the camera when trying to press the buttons but you get used to it fast :good: You gotta decide, much development but kinda boring (nexus5) or the LG G2 just a awesome device with enough development which is even increasing. I was thinking about which phone for 6 months so I suggest you the G2 since some bugs from the Nexus5 and the bad battery life isn't worth it.
[G2 General] sjk971005:
I used to be flashaholic when I had the Galaxy Nexus, but this changed when I moved on to the Optimus G and now the G2.

I find LG ROMs amazing and have everything one needs.

The increased screen size over basically the same phone size is a great plus.

Personally I, as well as people around me, think that the back button arrangement should be on every phone. They really help keep the footprint down.

I didn't have problems hitting the keys as they perfectly placed for my hand(which is average in size).

For me, I don't change my volume while it's on a table or something so it's not a problem, and it's more useful as I can easily change the volume while my phone is in my G2.

CloudyG3 + Dorimanx kernel = best combination I have ever used on any phone.
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I'm actually starting to prefer the back buttons on the G2 :silly: When I'm trying to take a photo on holiday, I can fire up the camera whilst the phone is still in my pocket and not attract attention to myself. Knock on and knock off rule also.

I'm now using the most upto date LG stock rom (20H) and dont believe a stock rom will ever be as smooth as the Nexus 5. Just ask yourself this, which is better, A smooth phone with a joke of a battery or a 10% slower phone with a 100% better battery. Its an easy choice in my book. :angel:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SimboXXX:
Guys, I can't decide whether to buy an Alpha or an LG G3 (yep, I know they're completely different beasts).

I want to ask if there is any screen wake lag after pressing power or home key. I'm talking about more than half a second for the screen to wake.

Also, does the silver version have the rubbery back like the black model or the hard back like the white model?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] toms95:
I don't see any pause or lag.... I have gray version of alpha and it does have rubbery back.

P.S. If you don't care about screen size or you want a compact phone, alpha is right chose for you, because it is fast and has superb camera (it is faster than G3, but sometimes make more blurry images) and just about everything is awesome about this phone. And it survives some drops and can be used without a case- it isn't slippery, it is light and compact, yet durable and has perfect in hand feel. My friend just bought G3- and we decided, that they are equally awesome, just made for different people.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SimboXXX:
I'm stuck in the bigger screen/easier handling dilemma.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] zarras:
Buy whatever you like,

BUT

stay AWAY from LG smartphones.

LG suffers from programming developing team, as a result there are lots of flaws on the end products, such as memory leaks (Optimus series) etc etc etc
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SimboXXX:
I've no experience of LG phones, but plenty of use of Samsungs, and the thing that's stopping me buying the Alpha now is the (still) disgracefully bad TouchWiz UI. And there are no custom ROMS yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] collins521:
Actually had the G3 first and returned it for the Alpha. Best decision ever in terms of size in the hand as well as pocket. It's up to you though, I have a tablet that if I want a bigger screen I go towards instead of my phone. G3 was a great device and has more dev support than the Alpha in terms of AT&T.

Plus, the phone become instable and I had force shutdown because the phone overheated. After, 6 mouth the place where the phone overheated, the screen doesn't respond half of time.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iAr$hia:
Hi guys,

yesterday i bought a note 4(n910c) and when i went to the mobile networks i didn't see LTE button. What can i do?

(see images )

Thanks for your helps,
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkmobilesupport:
Please make sure of these:

1) LTE bands overlap between your device and the carrier.

2) The SIM card is not 3g only. Some SIM cards are LTE disabled.

3) Make sure your device is LTE authenticated through the carrier. Some carriers can limit your device to only connect to 3g to maximize the LTE for carrier-branded phones and users.

If above doesn't work, the Android 5.0.1 update is on the way with new firmware/kernels/drivers for LTE modem and radio functionalities, so I would hope for the best.

I tried it for a few minutes and the actual game looks quite smooth, BUT on my Nexus5 it was almost impossible to grab a stick and to place it somewhere else. Furthermore, I would like to see a better contrast (maybe just more transparance) on the free places. It waas quite hard to read the current equation.

Keep it going, seems like a nice caual brainy game ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mur-Mur:

[Android Apps and Games] eng.ahmed.android:

What is screen size for your device and if you can provide me with a screenshot from your device, I will really appreciate that :)

And what do you mean with "more transparance"?
[Android Apps and Games] Jack0815_:
Hi,

my device is a nexus 5 ... so 5" with 1080 x 1920px.

With more transparent I mean, that the available fields, where you can drop a stick, are so dark that it makes it hard to read the current equation.

By the way in the first level I wanted to make "9 - 3 = 6" and it says WRONG ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eng.ahmed.android:
I think this is a large screen!! Also about transparent , you can use light sticks as they are very clear and light to read the equation easily :)

About level 1 it is 8 - 3 = 3. and you just have one move then if you move left bottom stick on eight to put it on 3 it will not be 6 :)

You need additional move to get right top stick on 3 to the left but you have one move only :)

[Android Apps and Games] Entangled Multiverse:
I love matches puzzles in real life and so do I love your game as well! ;) In my opinion, it is quite hard to control on a 5 inch screen, however. Mainly because the matches are too small. I would recommend landscape instead of portrait screen format. Maybe one could also thing about some different control sheme. Especially the "green" when you can put down one match does not help much, since it is completely hidden under my fat fingers ;)

[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
I managed to successfully root my Xperia M2 with KitKat 4.4.4 without unlocking the bootloader. Since the procedure is quite generic (and straightforward) I thought it would be useful for people with other Xperia devices if I post it here. Please take it as a guideline, since it may vary slightly between different Xperia devices. I suspect it will work also for the phones that will upgrade to Lollipop (as long as they had a Jelly Bean ROM available), maybe changing the rooting binaries in the rootkitXperia tool.

One can find the full procedure with all steps detailed and links to the SW needed in my original thread for the Xperia M2:

[Q&A][Root]Rooting with Locked Bootloader - NO OTA Method

In order to be able to apply this method the Xperia device must have an older ROM available, vulnerable to the "Towelroot" exploit .

Without it as far as I am aware no rooting is possible in a Kitkat 4.4.4 device with the locked bootloader.​

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

Be sure to have the full FTF for the stock ROM you are currently running

Flash with Flashtool

only the kernel

from a Jelly Bean FTF for

your

phone

unchecking the wipe checkboxes

Reboot the phone:

The phone should bootloop, but it doesn't matter. The Linux kernel and adb are alive and thus the "Towelroot" vulnerability is exploitable by rootkitXperia

Run rootkitXperia. After the rooting it should get stuck when trying to reboot the phone(*). Interrupt it with CTRL-C

Flash back the kernel for the ROM in your phone

Reboot the phone

Manually run the command to have the RIC permanently disabled:

adb shell "su -c /data/local/tmp/install_tool.sh"

Reboot and enjoy your rooted phone!

(*) In some phones (Xperia Z?) rootkitXperia may not get stuck. If the phone reboots the rooting should be complete. Just flash back your original kernel and it should be done (untested).

Please note that this guideline covers some already known rooting methods. The difference is that it also covers the cases when the ROM bootloops and/or rootkitXperia gets stuck at the reboot, making it quite generic for all Xperia devices. It doesn't pretend to be a new guide for all Xperia, just a general one.

Xperia Phones confirmed working:

if you manage to root the phone using the kernel of a similar Xperia (like in the case of the Xperia M2 Aqua below) please report the phone name/model of your phone and of the phone you used the kernel from.

Xperia M2 D2303

Xperia M2 Aqua D2403 - With the M2 D2303 kernel

(to be expanded)
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
That's the well known method we are using since Xperia U.

As long as you have older fw (JB) you'll be able to root your device.

But...

I wouldn't bet on rooting L with this method.

Lollipop is new, fresh written firmware with a new kernel.

Code was updated on JB and new features were added when Google built KK...

L is something totally different...but we'll see soon..
[Sony Cross-Device General] ~Unify~:
Any help for Xperia E3 with lock bootloader..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
I don't know if it was used already on Xperia U. I checked all around and I couldn't find this particular solution where the rooting is done with the hone bootlooping and one of rootkitXperia scripts must be run manually after restoring the KK kernel.

Particularly on Xperia M2 the suggested solution was to downgrade both kernel and system, root it and then upgrade via OTA. Which was something I didn't fancy at all. Still now I see people trying to apply rootkitXperia on any Xperia KK 4.4.4 (which will never work, as I discovered myself). So I made it available in the general section as well for people with less popular Xperias who are banging their heads like I did for a couple of weeks (honest):

But sure, the downgrade is a requirement. At the moment 4.4.4 seems unbreakable.

.

It's still Linux. With the bleeding SELinux fully enabled, though. It may take some tampering, but I suspect it will be a matter of replacing/adding the rooting binaries in rootkitXperia. Chainfire already has them available I understood. If it will be possible to inject them flashing the JB kernel half of the job has done. Still, I'll rephrase it in my first post, it could be be too optimistic.
