[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefalicious:
(I'm Dutch, so my English isn't anywhere near perfect, I'll try to explain my issue as good as possible)

The past month I have been dealing with a very annoying kind of lag on my LG G3. After trying to unroot my Nexus 5, I absolutely destroyed it and lots of things went wrong. After that, my phone wouldn't boot up anymore and I had to buy a new one, which was the LG G3. The phone looks good and all, and the specs are great, but my experience with the interface is that it tends to be very choppy and lags frequently. Since a few days my WhatsApp starts lagging as well. Whenever I want to send a message to someone, I start typing as usual, but after the first letter it freezes for a second or 1-2, and then it starts typing again. This is very frustrating because this causes me to make a lot of typos. My phone tends to freeze a lot in general, and in the 6 months I've had the G3, I had to take out the battery like 3 or 4 times already, because I couldn't turn if off manually.

I've attempted several things to solve it, like installing certain apps, deleting all unncessesary pictures/videos in order to clear up space, deleting all apps I never use. Nothing seems to work, though. In my opinion, despite the fact that the LG G3 is better when you look at the specs, the Nexus 5 will remain to be my number 1 favourite phone, because I have never experienced any kind of horrible lag like I do on my LG G3. It's too late though, now I have to deal with this phone for the time being, until I can afford a new one.

So, what should I do? Should I root my phone and install a custom ROM that increases overall performance and eliminates lag? Or are there any other things I should consider? Please let me know guys, I would really appreciate some kind help right here <3

I read somewhere that the LG keyboard lags upon typing if you have more than 2 languages set up. Try to reduce to one language only.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefalicious:
Thanks for the suggestion. Though, my LG-keyboard only has the Dutch language set up, no other language is selected. Tried using other keyboard such as Google Keyboard and Swiftkey, but to no avail unfortunately.

Ive found that Kit Kat is a lot more stable for the G3, I have the D850
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuqitao:
Never had an experience like what you have. I think you can try to uninstall the necessary apps to check if it's caused by some of them, switch to another input method like Google keyboard to get rid of the type lagging. Good luck.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
I've just got the phone to see how it performs and I'm struggling with the lag all around the system. Apps can take an age to open, the gallery is especially slow. There's just a distinct lack of smoothness.

I'm coming from the OPO, so have been blessed with the AOSP experience. I may flash an AOSP ROM, but I want to test the camera's true potential.

Ant recommendations? I'm trying out Chupa Chups 4.2 for the time being to see if that is any better.

Regards.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
For [MENTION=2071596]lynxboy[/MENTION] I recommend BlissPop ROM, I'm using it and only wished I'd gone AOSP sooner. I'm also using the Motorola Camera apk which has all the Camera options of stock plus more. BlissPop also comes with its own camera based off CM and you can also install the Google Camera so you have 3 options there.

[MENTION=5734680]Stefalicious[/MENTION] There's not much you can do on stock to get rid of lag mate, I recommend you root and install a custom ROM. If you like the stock interface and layout you can flash something like CloudyG3 that is based off stock, otherwise BlissPop is amazing and is AOSP-Based.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
How's the camera quality on AOSP though? I've been searching and keep reading that there's a significant hit in the output quality of images.

Regards.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
[MENTION=2071596]lynxboy[/MENTION] depends on the Camera app you use. Personally, I use the Motorola one and get fantastic photos with the laser focus and either 1080p or 4k video is available so no issues there.

In the G3 General section there's a dedicated "Photos taken with the G3" thread so maybe if you asked in there for samples from people using AOSP ROMs you might get some replies? :)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Just an update. I installed Chupa Chups 4.2 and performed further debloating by uninstalling the majority of the LG apps including home, keyboard and messaging etc.

Now running Nova (material beta) and have built up the cache for most apps. There's still lag on system apps like Gallery and Phone, but it's much better than it was out of the box.

I guess the Korean OEM skins will never match AOSP for pure fluidity, but maybe I can cope with this for the time being.

I can always go back to the OPO if needs be.

Regards.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simes6600:
i got a G3 a few days ago, cheap, as a backup phone to my M8. was really surprised at lag on the G3 like others, thought it would be a helluva lot smoother. originally ran stock, now running Cloudy 2.2 and Nova launcher in which IMHO, don't see any noticeable different from LG stock, although battery life is marginally better.

i did notice that running any live wallpaper will lag the homescreen considerably, no big deal, but for a phone of this calibre, should not be an issue. my M8 has never missed a beat on anything.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefalicious:
Thank you all for the great replies. It's both good and bad to see that I am not the only one dealing with these lags. I followed iDefalt's advice and decided to root my LG G3, install the TWRP custom recovery and flash a custom ROM. My personal preference went to CM12, just because of the looks. I haven't really looked at CloudyG3, and I don't know how CM12 and CloudyG3 compare to each other, but so far I must say that I am VERY impressed with CyanogenMod12. The performance has improved by a mile, I feel that the battery life has gone up slightly too, and of course the UI looks so sexy, just like it would on a Nexus 6 with Lollipop. I love it. Even my homescreen looks sexy!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
Stock CM-12 is bug ridden just beware, most AOSP ROMs like BlissPop, etc. Have better battery life, overall better performance, and often fix the bugs in the stock CM-12 builds, so in all honesty it goes:

Custom-AOSP ROM > CM-12 > Custom Stock-Based ROM > Stock w/root > Stock

Anything is an upgrade from stock though. CloudyG3 is stock-based, not AOSP, just for future reference :)

For anyone looking for even more performance, you can install a custom kernel for your ROM. In CM-12's case, being AOSP-based, you can install the 777 kernel by 777-Jon, or the Furnace kernel. Both work really well, and BlissPop comes with the 777 kernel included in the ROM because it's that good.

Glad to see it got sorted out, I'm available for anymore questions! :D

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

You can even get AOSP skins and themes for stock-based Custom ROMs, so if you like the look of AOSP but want the features of the stock-based custom ROMs... They're available! :D

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

To be fair it's using a GPU that was designed to push 1080p displays, not 1440p/Quad-HD displays, so a live-wallpaper running on a stock kernel will push the GPU. The reason your M8 runs better is because even though it's the same CPU and GPU underneath, the screen is only 1080p and not 1440p, therefore the GPU doesn't have to power nearly as many pixels (Twice as less, in fact. ) But if you want even more performance, you can install a custom stock-based kernel like the ChupaChups kernel that works with all Stock-Based custom ROMs and optimizes things a bit better :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lingen:
I have a Lenovo K3 Note. It doesn't have a forum section, so I thought this would be a good place. But there's a further complication. I imported my phone from China.

It has AVG antivirus and an app called "Safe center". Both are blocking my way to the internet(but only on 3G/4G, wifi's okay). I want to uninstall both. I went into app manager(I have Android 5.0 on it) but when I clicked on both apps, the button where it says "uninstall" is gray and it is unclickable.

So now what? How do I get rid of them both in a safe and secure manner? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goose25:
I believe the phone will need to be rooted to remove these apps. I have the same device and wish to remove this bloatware too. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Hopefully someone will develop a root program soon!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lingen:
So you need a special program for the phone? There isn't a general program?

Edit: I played around a little bit more in the phone. Even Twitter is a "system app". Seriously. Are there settings to be changed that needs to be changed or is rooting the only option?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goose25:
I probably phrased that wrong, but what we need is to gain "root access" to be able to remove these programs.

Essentially most android phones come with some form of restrictions on them, which having "root access" will allow you to bypass!

The process to root each android phone is slightly different, and therefore, it could take some time before someone is able to do it and tell us how.

Ok Here's i will tell How to Make sure our CM12.1 download ROM Zip is downloaded Currectly or Currupted before Flashing, this will be good if internet speed is unstable or paused the download frequently..

1. Download ROM from http://download.cyanogenmod.com (of course)

2. Download MD5 Hash App From Play Store "MD5 Hash (Free, No Ads)"

3. Open MD5 Hash App Tap "Calculate MD5 From File"

4. Browse to the ROM ZIP you have Downloaded and Select ROM and Tap Select

5. Tap Calculate MD5 (it will take 1 Mins)

6. Now Goto Official CyanogenMod Download website and COPY MD5 Hash on below the ROM ZIP Name

7. Paste the Code in to "Paste MD5 box on MD5 Hash App" and tap Compare

8. If it gives GREEN text with equal, the ROM is correctly Downloaded, if it gives RED text with Not equal. your download is Currupt

[ZenFone 2 General] Pete9972:
Great review! Thanks!

In your review, you mention "The speaker is excellent. The loudest I've heard..." Are you referring to the speaker that you hold to your ear, or the one on the back of the phone? I use my phone for navigation quite often, so a speaker with ample volume is important.
[ZenFone 2 General] Chinaphonearena:
Rear speaker. Very loud and clear. Beyond adequate for navigations/hands-free/music/videos etc... You'll probably need to turn it down.

I saw in a post somewhere (can't remember exactly which forum) someone mentioned that the capacitive menu buttons below the screen on the Zenfone 2 are not backlit, and therefore difficult to see when in a dark environment. Is that true?

Thanks again to everyone for the comments regarding written review. Motivates me to know that someone appreciates the work.

The back buttons aren't lit. I like it like this. One's on the left, one's on the right and one's in the middle. They're tough to miss. And backlights don't come on until you actual hit the button, so this seems somewhat pointless. That's the way I see it anyways. Asus seems to agree. Not that users who want them are in the wrong. Just my point of view.

I have a problem with my nfc always scanning for tags, even when turned off. The best would be, if I could get rid of nfc as i don't even use it anyway. My s6 is rooted by the way. The whole situation is, that I'm using a case for my device, which holds my gym member card automatically triggering a sound+msg saying "tag type not supported". I already tried using or finding apps for this and even uninstalling the nfc app, just making the app crash and show error messages(i restored the app after this).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] defy_owner:
Hi

Let's say we have tablet with allwinner a20 but there are two versions of MB(let's call it first MB and second MB). They use different firmware, when you flash wrong one device is booting but lcd is black(only backlight). I have access to stock firmware but only for first version of MB. So I tried to pull firmware from working device. What I did(in short):

1. Factory data reset.

2. Dump bootloader, boot, env, system, recovery partitions using dd if=nandX of=nanaX.img

3. Unpack stock firmware with imgRePacker.

4. Replace bootloader.fex, boot.fex, env.fex, system.fex, recovery.fex with files from step 2.

5. Mount bootloader partition and make copy of script.bin.

6. Update boot1 and boot2 files using update_boot0 and update_boot1 from SDK.

7. Second MB have one extra partition (called private) so I edited sys_partition.fex and generated sunxi_mbr.fex & dlinfo.fex files with update_mbr.

8. Pack modified firmware to img file.

Device booted successfully after flashing my firmware with phoenixsuit, everything worked, but when i restarted, tablet was stuck in bootloop. I tried to look at logcat output, it looks like it cannot create dalvik-cache directory on /data partition. Strange thing, because all required folders are created on /data partition at first boot, including dalvik-cache, they just dissappear after reboot. Wipe data from recovery doesn't help, I need to do reflash using phoenixsuit, but again, first boot OK and then device is bootlooping.

I also tried flashing my firmware on another tablet but I clicked No in "Does mandatory format?" window, tablet was stuck in bootloop with same errors about dalvik-cache directory.

When I try to make dalvik-cache directory manually using ADB it gives me some I/O error, but I can create folders with different names on /data partition without problems.

I don't have access to device right now, I will post logcat asap.

Another strange thing, on second MB with stock firmware there is 4,07GB of internal sd, but when I flash my firmware it grows to 4,56GB. It's almost 500MB :eek: Output of cat /proc/partitions is same(only size of last partition(internal sd) is different).

I will try to dump /data partition and add it to img file but it won't problably work. I'm also looking for a way do dump original MBR and boot0/boot1 from nand, in /dev/block I don't have device that represents full nand, only partitions(nanda, nandb, etc).

I have access to many tablets that I can play with, I bricked 2 so far :P

I don't know if it's right place to post such problems but I hope someone will be able to help :)
