I just sold my ZF2 due the fact I didnt like the device all that much... so today I have a mission: find a replacement...

I was thinking about G4, Moto X Style (which is utterly overpriced in my country and I have no idea why) or S6...

To be honest my first choice would be the X Style due the stock android, but here (in Brazil) they are charging way more than the phone worth... its more expansive than S6 and G4 so you guys know what I'm talking about... well, I'm far alway from rich so I need to be careful about how much I spend in a phone....

My question is, what is the state of variety in the "rom department" for G4 right now? Is there a stable CM version for it? I had a G2 and here in Brazil they still didnt upgraded it to Android Lollipop... still stuck in the kitkat after all this time...

I have some concerns about the 6.0 coming for G4 the way they "came" for the G2 in here..

Anyway, thanks and sorry about my english!

Does anyone know what the latest firmware version for the H815T HKG is?

I'm currently running v10c from the international H815 pre-rooted image.
[G4 General] zoreli:
Problem is still here ... shut down phone put on the charger and phone turn on itself :confused:
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
I'm guessing that was by design.

I suppose a workaround would be to get a charger that can charge the battery by itself.
[G4 General] zoreli:
I cant charge my LG G4 H815 when phone is shut down . When I unplug charger (phone is turned off) phone is boot byself - no way to stay tirned off when charging . :eek:

Thats very annoying :(
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
Yes, I understand what the issue is. I'm saying it's probably designed that way.

If you were to get a charger to charge the battery separately (ie take the battery out of the phone, put it into the charger) it would allow you to charge the battery without the phone being turned on.

When your phone is on,then put it on the charger and shut down your phone!

Is there a difference between H815 and H815P when it comes down to rom? Lets say the rom is for the H815 and mine G4 is H815P.. will I have a problem if I install the rom?

It requires root, but the tasker method is in there for documentation purposes as well.

I read a really neat tip for the camera that I've been finding very handy. In the camera screen, if you press and hold the gallery icon, it'll show the last photo you took. You can also slide your finger over the bin icon to delete it. it's a VERY handy feature, as the gallery closes and you return to the camera screen automatically when you lift your finger off.

ZV4 to ZV5... OTA or TTA?

Hi friend.

I am with LS991ZV4 and has notification update OTA.

I am confused its update for ZV5 or ZV6?

I need ZV5 regarding plan to root my G4.

Which you recommended, update via OTA or via flash ZV5 with TTA?

Many thanks or kindly help guys
[G4 General] autoprime:
if you are on zv4 then the update notification is for zv5. and then zv6 will come after you take the zv5 update.

if you update from zv4 to zv5 you will update your bootloader version to "v1" which will give you less of a chance to unlock the bootloader in the future. although it is not yet known if bootloader unlock is possible. why not just root zv4? but up to you if you want to take update.

taking ota vs flashing tot shouldnt matter.. again.. up to you. :good:

[G4 General] qyrus:
That's slightly disconcerting. I know it's faux pas to ask a dev about statuses, but has the codefire team been hitting roadblocks in regards to bootloader unlock/bypass? In one of thecube's old posts he seemed quite optimistic about a bootloader solution.

It has rooted and unrooted system images for Z5 and Z6 and should get you where you want to be. You do not need to worry about rooting z4.
[G4 General] zedmarcus:
So... Is anyone tempted by the new Nexus phones?
[G4 General] moobieboobie:
5X looks nice, but the G4 was lackluster experience for me... having issues with touch (that was supposed to have been fix, now dealing with lag everywhere) so it'd be hard for me to buy another LG product. even it if was a nexus.
[G4 General] zedmarcus:
Don't get me wrong, I really do like my G4. I've had none of the mentioned issues such as lag etc. But, I just can't handle the lack of development on this device. I realise there's a bit of dev work going on, but coming from an HTC where the dev scene was full on, around here it is like a graveyard. I like the look of the 6P, and I'm sure it will have a full dev scene. The G4 will go to the wife who will run it stock and be more than happy.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
im kinda feeling the same way. i really love the camera on the g4 but the itch to build my own aosp rom is too strong, really miss my nexus 5 sometimes. but having to pay off the g4 before i can sell it on swappa is a hard pill to swallow. we'll see
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Not at all....and Nexus 5 may have been my favorite phone of all time.
[G4 General] cowsquad:
I am gonna sell this LGG4 for Verizon and I will get the nexus 6p
[G4 General] laurasaurisrex:
I am rather tempted to do this as well. I've never bought a Nexus before, as the specs never impressed me much and other manufacturers gave more thought into design. I can swallow loosing my SD card if I got the 128GB version.

The only wild card is whether manual controls and RAW will be possible with that camera. It's the whole reason I bought the G4 to begin with, so I am going to wait around a bit and find out what the performance of the camera is like, and how much control we have over it, whether by stock or a third party app. I don't want "simulated" manual controls. Google didn't specify, and that worries me, because it seems like the ability for manual controls would be something to mention during their heavy praising of the camera.

Its unfortunate, really. The LG G4 is a great phone, and now that I have root and xposed, I don't have a burning desire for flashing ROMs. But the touch screen lag causes the phone to severely lose the premium feel and erodes how much I like everything else about the phone, and being on Verizon, we probably won't get the update that seems to fix it for a year.
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No interest in the V10?
[G4 General] zedmarcus:
The V10 looks... interesting. And a step up from the G4. But I've never had a Nexus phone and I have to say the 6P has piqued my interest.

I'm on O2 refresh in the UK so it shouldn't cost me too much to upgrade (near the end of my contract), the only disappointing thing is that it looks like O2 will only have 32GB models available. Might have to go direct from the big G.
[G4 General] jKK-:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a thread talking about editing the build.prop to improve the touch screen issues users were experiencing?
[G4 General] laurasaurisrex:
It wasn't definitive.. some people reported slight improvements, others didn't, etc. There was improvement after I disabled the LG Keyboard, but the only way for me to get rid of the issue 100% is to activate Battery Saver. Battery Saver disables haptic feedback and disables animations, among other things. It sounds to me that there is faulty implementation in something that Battery Saver turns off. I don't really care about haptic feedback, but the loss of transition animations is annoyingly noticeable.

edit: Fixed with factory reset.
[G4 General] crossdeath:
So you sold your Nexus 5 for the G4 aswell :D? So did I and so far I like every aspect of it, it's an upgrade in every way (except software-wise maybe). Fortunately, I'm not a flash-freak so currently I don't have any problems with the lack of support. But I'm sure that will change in the future ;)
[G4 General] yudumcan:
hi, I'm about to get my new G4 tomorrow and it's H815 but I know only the European model can be uncloked, is there a way to recognise if it's Asian model or European model? if it's not I might make a last minute change and get the Nexus 6

cheers
[G4 General] DsturbD:
you want to unlock the bootloader or you just want root?

the 815 is UK, the 815T is Asia
[G4 General] daglesj:
Had my G4 a month now (after a Nexus 4) and still loving it. The price just keeps dropping here in the UK. I paid £360 back then and now its down to £290.00. Great value. I'm kind of disappointed with the lack of tinkering with this phone but to be honest I quit rooting and flashing a couple of years ago. It just didn't add enough benefits and I have too much going on to be flashing and tweaking my phone every day.

I found it pretty easy to uninstall or disable 95% of the bloat I didn't want without rooting. I think LG Backup is the only thing I wanted to get rid of but couldn't. I can live with that, it's not like its the mass of Samsung bloat.

No lag or battery issues. In standby it hardly even sips power, very impressed. The only thing I would like to change is to turn down the saturation and get closer to 6500k so reds appear less purple. I can live with it though.
[G4 General] yudumcan:
it'll be great if I could do both. This is going to be my first Android I looked at what you can do with Nexus blew my mind. Coming from apple for years you can't even achive all that stuff with jailbreaking..

When my warranty replacement VS986 comes tomorrow, if it's on 10b rather than 11A, is it safe to assume it's still zero? Or would they send something on the old firmware that's already been tampered with?

I have a Moto X Play, and just picked up a G4 to try out. Lag drove me crazy with the Moto (probably due to the Snapdragon 615)!

I'm confused could you please explain why you are flashing newer versions of stock firmware? , is your bootloader unlocked? , why not just wait for the marshmallow ota? and my last question is that on my phone the bootloader is unlocked are you saying that i can flash updated firmware because im still on 10c after rooting...
[G4 General] Kemby13:
Well, i wanted to have the newest stock firmware (and be protected from the stagefright at the same time) before i upgrade to MM... Simple as that.

No, my bootloaderis not unlocked, i'm just rooted. To answer your question,

yes i think you can upgrade, i don't see what does your unlocked bootloader have to do with

stock firmware upgrade... Esspecially if you unlocked it via official LG page...

Stage fright is a joke. Just don't use hangouts, or make it so your phone didn't automatically download mms.

Yes i unlocked my bootloader via lg devs their official page , okay so I'm on version 10c do i need to flash 10d then 10e and so forth or can i just flash the latest one , I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge this is my first lg phone and they do things a bit different than nexus or htc...

I bring it over to Service centre, and i get new replacement unit after 2.5 weeks.

now it has ghost touch. i talk to the service centre people, they said the latest fota (10F) has some issues causes the phone to hot to touch, hangs etc.

so best best is to bring it to the service centre and get a replacement unit if still can

to go back to stock you can either do this or use the link in my signature and do step three but when you use the command to flash the rootedsystem.img file, just change it to your system.img. then take the update, then follow all three steps to re-root. profit.
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
I accidentally took my G4 into a pool a couple of days ago (had it in my pocket).

I took the battery out of it, and when I brought it home, I disassembled it, flushed out the motherboard with distilled water to get the chlorine out of it and then left it in methylated spirits for a couple of days.

It's now working perfectly again.

I have to say, LG really made it easy to disassemble the G4.
[G4 General] WTF?:
which methylated sprits did you use exactly? - link?
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
Diggers:

https://www.bigw.com.au/product/diggers-methylated-spirits/p/WCC100000000207652/

But I don't think it really matters what brand it is, as long as it's actually methylated spirits. Or isopropyl alcohol should work.

But I don't think it's good to use turpentine.

First of all, I want to apologize if I post in the wrong place.

3. What (other) applications do you recommend? (must have)

What is the limit you have once fully charged?

With just the basics running, you should expect between 4 & 5 hrs screen on time. 4 to 5 days turned on but at sleep.

815 TWN ONLY

Don't know if this helps anyone (US or Canada having trouble upgrading to H815 20B TWN) but this half-baked method worked for me:good:;)

This can be highly detrimental if used.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Once you have 20a installed (I used this) via LGUP.

Go to settings>Backup & reset>Factory reset>reset phone.

When reset completes connect USB and using LGUP down-flash to 10E (I used this).

DON'T PANIC as it will complete it's flash but the screen will go back to the black (hard to read) software flashing screen.

When the black screen showed a completed (green) bar and there was a 0% directly below, I disconnected the USB cable,

I then reconnected the G4 to the USB cable and opened LGBridge.

LGBridge said I had an update. I clicked the Update Software tab and it said I had an update to 20b TWN available.

It took roughly 6 min and now I have
