To keep the thread alive..

My experience after 2 years using this phone and custom roms:

- phone is s**t :) (but I do not intend to buy a new one, so here goes..)

- Used some recommended roms laying around, but here are some roms I tested and used for longer period.

- I use phone for everyday use. I want lagfree, fast and good battery life (at least in deep sleep). I mostly use some simple apps, browsing, messages, pdf books, camera and video recording.

1. CM11 (4.2.2.)

Great rom, with some bugs, but nothing serious.

Occasional lags, good battery life - some builds were awsome (less than 0,3%/hour batt consumption).

Maybe little too slow occasionally.

2.CM11 (4.4.4)

Also great rom, with some nice features, much more polished than 4.2.2. At start there were great builds, but after some time it got worse. Probably kernel related.

Quite good speed, some lags, quite good batt (but not so good as 4.2.2).

If you did not restart phone in a while, it got very laggy - at least second period of rom development.

3.MAHDI FINAL

Best rom - is`s features are endless. Great for customising everything, quite good speed, but laggy from time to time - when you most need it! Battery similar to CM11 4.4.4, but better with speed. Quite good, but too much lag for me.

3.MOURTA LS+KERNEL

Best rom I used becouse of smoothness, features and customization of whole rom. Really smooth.

BUT it has a bug with gapps - if you do not google enable update service(s) - it does not go to deep sleep.

And MAJOR DOWNSIDE - worst batt life of all the roms I used. Tried everything, but batt life did not get any better. Especially when you use the phone - batt drains as hell.

So I got a felling that all this speed and other goodies comes with bad batt.

I can do this on my own, with any rom, by putting governor to performance ;)

Too bad for this rom... Goodbye!

4.OMNI 4.4.4. final

So I tried this recommended rom - after reading some forum posts.

It is not so great with features (some of them I miss), but it is almost lagfree, quite fast, good batt life..

Maybe only rom I used, that is stable and fast enough for everyday use..

I miss some functions and LS speed :), but for now - I am satisfied.

For the end

- I did not tried any custom kernels, at least for longer period. Had a felling they all got too bad batt life for my taste.

- tried also scripts and tweaks 2.2, but I did not notice any big improvment over my demands (stable, fast, batt).

And it would be great if we all together find the best rom for everyday use ?!

And maybe upload the zips to some cloud, for later generations to use :) ?

I personally would like to get CM11 4.2.2 builds.

And CM11 unofficial builds to try.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MarcysVonEylau:
That would be great, if whole LG 4x community could create final ROM for our phone - with everything done, and working as it shoud be.

Personally I use Resurrection Remix 5.4.5 ROM. Pretty good performance and battery life after some tweaks (Power Nap, disabling some wakelocks etc.). But it wasn't updated since May 2015 :( Sometimes it's going crazy: interface, and system crashes, but that's ocassionally (every day ? - f%#&#).

This phone is S%$t, and sometimes I want to throw it through the window... But i'm poor xD

CM 11 3.14 Nightly

Some times I get no signal and the phone wont wake up from deep sleep but most of the time it's not bad at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] eXpi:
Yeah bros, i totally understand you all...Every ROM i used (some for short, other for long periods of time) eventually turned to be ****. I of course dont blame not one dev, as their doing their best to keep alive a crappy smartphone. Right now i use for some time the CM 12.1 i think, as it was the most (at least) usable ROM, whitout huge bugs and a whole lot of lag. There were a lot of times i wanted to burn this useless piece of **** and throw it out the window...But finally the time has come. I ordered a LG G4! Comming next week. :D :D I will miss you all out there, as we shared strugle... :crying::crying::(:highfive:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AndreaFar:
I want an update to this survey. Still I haven't found a ROM where everything works. In some ROM doesn't work correctly the GPS, in other ROMS I aren't able to scan QR codes. other ROMS have TV out broken, fm radio broken or videocamera not fully functional or with worsened quality... other ROMS are laggy or with freezes.

This is a 1,5 Ghz quad core with 1GB ram, is an outdated device but still far more powerful than many entry levels in the marked that are released with recent Android OS version and are way faster despite their hardware.

What are the most newer ROM fully working for daily use?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] csk1jw:
MoltenMotherBoard Lollipop 5.1.1

The only not-working stuffs, that I know of, are QR code scanning and FM radio. QR code scanning can never be fixed for grouper blobs based ROMs. FM radio is never a critical feature. Most custom ROMs choose to ignore this for most Android phones, not just LG O4X.

If you ever build the ROM from source, then you will appreciate this Lollipop ROM that it is preserving most of the pristine Google AOSP experience as much as possible.

Unfortunately for me that my taste of Android OS has been less than desirable until Lollipop. It is my personal choice that I won't look back on anything lesser than Lollipop on my Android phone. This is also one of the reason I am staying away even from LG stock JB ROM. If we take away issues with OS aging, then we hope to be able to declare that stock ROM should be perfect. But I can tell you that for LG O4X, LG had failed this.

In short, I just want to tell you that it is very rare to find custom ROMs matching the functionalities of stock ROM perfectly. If you had to take the route of custom ROMs, then you need to choose base on features that matter most for your usage.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] playitlouder:
Is there any rom with sustained performance and stagefright fixes (maybe f2fs for perfomance)?

I don't really care if its 4.3, 4.4 or 5.1 :P

As long as it has halfway decent battery life (I know the tegra3 is power hungry) and it doesn't have seconds of lag in whatsapp like the stock rom, I am happy.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] asgz:
I am like you, tried many Rom's untill today. I think our P880 is same but there is something different, I know devices have same parts but somehow different.

I mean some Rom works for me very well but same rom for another friend dosn't work as it's supposed to be.

Lately I am using Euphoria for daily driver. I like LP features. Jb or Kit Kat doesn't satisfied me. And I decide to buy new phone because like I said before P880 's hardware doesn't enough anymore. I think I will buy Z5.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] b886b:
Yes, I do agree with u on the fact that our devices are somewhat different from one another and we are having somewhat difficult time in coping with the new OS provided that our hardware are a bit outdated. However, I think this phone is really endurable and I am very satisfied with this, I have been using this phone for almost three years and it still function as it is so I have to say I am impressed. Currently I am trying out cm11 and mahdi 4.4., I have to say cm11 is rock stable but I would say mahdi has a lot of customizable features that I like. So it is quite difficult to choose among them. But for LP rom, I think it requires way too much resources that our phone might not be able to cope with.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] meerameer:
Beanstalk 4.4.x

May I suggest beanstalk. Good battery, lots of optional features like halo etc (only thing that doesnt work is the screen recorder). If there was a lollipop version, then I would run it in heartbeat :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] playitlouder:
I am running Mahdi at the moment.

Works, responsiveness is fine. But sometimes PlayServices go bezerk and cause wakelocks, until the battery dies.

And Whatsapp sometimes get's messed up when the screen rotates.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] b886b:
I have heard many good things about beanstalk but never had the chance to experience that as most of the links in the post are dead.... Is there anywhere that we can find to try out that rom?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Salman Al-Badgail:
I am currently using ICS Stock 4.0.3 :)

Also tried custom roms like Cm11 and Cm12.1

For me Stock (ICS) is good as it provide me best battery life for charging,usage,camera,wifi etc

:o

Just waiting for Cm13
[LG Optimus 4X HD] meerameer:
Unfortuantly that is the only source i know of for beanstalk.

the 26/12/2013 link works, and most of the ones at the bottom too (remember though to right click on the big blue "download now" and choose "open link in new tab" to start the download on Dev-Host
[LG Optimus 4X HD] b886b:
Try to use privacy guard to block the wake-up and keep awake of the google play service, then the drain should be gone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AndroidholicCOL:
Omnirom 4.4.4 Final. It works pretty well, except the damn GPS that doesn't work in any of the ROMs I have tried. LOL! In general, the best ROM for my daily use.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Is your GPS working properly?? If so, how did you get it? Mine doesn't work at all with this ROM, but still, it's my daily use ROM. Just love it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skrajnik:
Today got I an idea about lags, that come with every rom, after few days of use.

Hard lags, that ate a lot of my time.

I decided to try "trim" the storage, since I do not like scripts v2 and here you can do it manually.

Found some app for trimming, run it and ... phone instantly become fast as it was at clean flash..

CRAZY !! :D

Try it yourself and report back.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] armo1111:
what is trim?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skrajnik:
It is something like defragmentation.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] armo1111:
tell more about that
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skrajnik:
After 2 months of using the same ROM it slowly become so laggy that I want to burn this useless piece of chinese s**t!!

Why, WHY ?!?!?

No help with privacy guard,trim,every thing I tried!!!

It happens on every frikin ROM!!

Burn motherfu**ker, burn!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] The_0ne:
I'm on AOSP 5.1.1 right now. I'm pretty satisfied :good: It's fluid and has low battery drain other than Nameless ROM and Euphoria ROM it doesn't freezes when I open to many tabs in the browser. I have the feeling that on those two ROM was something wrong with the lowmemorykiller.

AOSP & CM Camera Performance

Hi guys, one of my friends gave me his P880, I am going to prepare it for my granny, she has a HTC 8S now. I'd like to ask if custom roms has better or at least comparable good preformance than P880 20b stock rom.

cheers
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Salman Al-Badgail:
For good performance and other things I recommend you to go for a stock v10xx (ICS) you might get some battery draining problems but at the end you can solve it by rooting.

2ndly go for Official CM11 nightly best in everything

:good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ilmarinen:
How is camera performance and quality of CM11 nightly? For everything remaining, I do believe CM11 will be far better, but I am curious about camera performance.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Salman Al-Badgail:
Go for stock v10xx ICS, everything works perfectly.

[Java for Android App Development] L2008:
Hello everyone, I hope you are fine.

I want to make an inquiry about android application development, because I need to create an application that can capture the battery consumption in smartphone, and read the basics and programming in Java but still not know where to start, if anyone have idea of codes that serve me, help me sources, or any type of information related to this topic, I appreciate it.

I should design the application should look like Battery Mix Battery or Monitor Widget.

Greetings.
[Java for Android App Development] MattMatt0240:
Assuming you understand basic Android app development, I recommend you give this a solid read-through. It has some very helpful info on how to get battery level, and how to monitor it, or even have some code ran when the battery level has changed.

http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/battery-monitoring.html#MonitorLevel

As stated in the documentation, constantly monitoring the battery will more than likely have a larger battery-consumption rate than a normal app. I think you should use a time:consumption ratio within a service to monitor and display battery usage. I haven't specifically dived into this myself, but here is a basic idea:

1) Get the battery charge level, as well as the time (or possibly the entire date using Calendar class, but I doubt this amount of precision is necessary)

2) Save the battery level, and the time it is retrieved at this level. SharedPreferences is a quick and easy way to integrate persistent data into your app.

3) Using BroadcastReceiver, you can run some code when the battery level has changed (saving charge level, how much time it took to discharge that amount, and doing your calculations/displaying info), as well as when the device has been plugged in or unplugged.

If anyone has some better ideas, please share or improve on mine. I'm still a beginner myself in many ways (Receivers and Services being relatively unfamiliar to me) and constructive criticism is welcomed.

This should at least give you a solid start. Depending on what else you are aiming to build into your application, I may be able to help. I'm not able to get to my computer right now due to moving into a new household, but I can try to point you in the right direction.

Happy coding!

Hello,

I got a note 4 n910f and I used to run CM12 on it. I recently reverted to stock because I wanted my S-pen functions back.

On cm12 the DPI was set to 560 and that made my homescreen display 5 apps next to each other. I want to have the same thing on stock rom but when I

lower the DPI it only looks like its zooming out. Also my camera app doesnt work anymore.

I am in trouble now. After playing some xyz, my device gone. it can only jump into the bootloader now..

Before my playing, i backuped the original os.nb by using awizard.

My question is:

1) can I download the orignal os.nb into the device and make it alive? My device is CID locked

2) I search for the web for the long time and now RUU packet available. I need a Dopod C800 Hong Kong Chinese Traditional. Is anyone available?

Today I had my phone in pocket, when I felt it is rather hot. I took it out, pressed power button, Screen lit up and died. Phone is still working, I managed to copy files from sdcard to my PC just in case. Connectors seem fine, but I'm not sure.

I tried doing factoy reset using following commands:

And I got message:

I have root, I tried to flash custom rom a while ago but failed so I'm still on stock ROM and kernel. I'm S-ON. After reverting changes phone worked fine, so I doubt it is the reason. Battery should also be fine, I've recently replaced it with new one.

So...I'm put of ideas. I can't really check whether my ROM is working fine. Buttons are responding tho, I can feel(vibrations) after I blindly try to unlock the phone, so I guess it's screen issue.

This could be sleep of death, but it is supposed to be fixed(even if temporarily) after resetting phone/unpulgging battery.

Edit: Confirmed an issue, backlight is not working :/ So the question now is: which connector is responsible for backlight? I'd like to try to clean it first before ordering new one.

Highlights

Material UI - The app takes full advantage of API21's Material Design, and almost every part of design is made with those guidelines.

Minimalistic UI - Tried to make the app as user friendly as possible, however there may always be scope for improvement.

Set on Boot - The values of toggles get reset to default after every boot, so set on boot is a must to lessen users work.

Landscape Orientation - Why not let the app adapt to the widescreen view when device is rotated?

Support for small screens - Have a small screen device (dpi < 180)? No worries.

OTA Updater for certain devices - Lets you update your Zapdos Kernels easily.

Kernel Profiles - Lets you tune your kernel according to needs.

Notes

Root Access is required - If no root access available, app will close with appropriate toast.

Hey [MENTION=5822936]corphish[/MENTION] I came across your app via zapdos kernel for moto e.. The app is great

I have some some suggestion or you can say some requests ...

Can you also add other gestures apart from d2w ,swipe etc. Like drawing alphabets likeO,V,E, etc to open apps

Like there is in one plus one

This app has that feature ( http://xdaforums.com/yureka/themes-apps/app-gexture-enable-screen-off-gestures-t3104737 ) but it doesn't works on any other mobile than yu yureka

If you are successful in adding these features of gestures then I am sure that this app is a big hit...

And yes if possible please add this app to play store.. As it is not convenient to check XDA regularly for updates... And playstore automatically does that

Thnx for you work :)
[Android Apps and Games] corphish:
1. Custom gestures like O,C etc needs to be supported in the kernel. Yureka supports it by default, in its own native way of coding, so difficult to port its gesture logic to others.

2. Triggering apps with gesture is something I will like to add.

3. Play Store, I need to buy a dev account, but I cannot coz I don't have bank account of my own (not eligible infact). Do not worry, everytime I update, I will let it known.

I am working on a cool feature as well.
[Android Apps and Games] luvk1412:
Then can't be kernel be made supported for it , for eg, let say can't zapdos kernel for moto e get support for this gestures by doing required changes...

And for other developers who wish to incorporate these gestures in to there kernel using your app can't instruction be added for them in the first post ... Like there are instructoon for other kernel mods which different developers incorporate in there kernels like sound control...
