[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
It seems that unlocker apps are T-Mobile's "modern" way to deal with unlocking. The app checks if the phone is eligible for unlocking, and automatically does so if eligible (with a reboot afterwards). The app then disappears. I did this on my Galaxy Avant before I bought the Stylo, and I would assume it works the same way on the Stylo. It's basically a one-click fire-and-forget setup, with no codes to enter. If you aren't yet eligible for a permanent unlock, you can still get a 30-day one for international travel.

I have absolutely no idea if rooting or flashing a custom recovery affects the unlocker app. I'm paranoid enough (and already have two other rooted phones anyway) that I'll wait until this phone is eligible, and unlock it first.

My advice: unless you're braver than I am :o, unlock it when eligible, before flashing a ROM.

Hey everyone I got a few Questions. im dumping verizon an joining T-Mobile...I have roms out an many other threads for the htc M8 an htc M9 an i can do some theming an mods but i'm not getting the m9 on T-mo i decided to get a lower budget phone an then ill be ready for the new htc flagship on t-mo next year an im going to get this phone.. Now my questions can t_mo stylo bootloader be unlocked an rooted they day i get it like tomorrow cause i really want to get this device for next 8 months a do some custom work? Is there a recovery for this device or does someone know if one is close? I asked cause i got a good friend that might be able to help us out on that. So far I havent seen a bad review yet on this phone. Thanks for any input guys an gays if there is any...Also im going to RC chat an going to see if i can get this phones own section.

You will be able to root it and the bootloader is out of the box unlocked. There's no custom recovery yet ,but the device tree for compiling twrp is on my github https://github.com/TeamRegular/twrp_device_lge_h631 my building machine is down I just wrote the tree.

I'm trying to 100% confirm the latter...I don't see the 64xxx folder in system...so assuming only 32bit...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
Antutu doesn't prompt to download the 64 bit test so... Think we are 32
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Yeah we are running on 32bits but this chip supports 64bits as well.

And yeah notice that on the description of this phone. I know Boost have those specs but the majority of the user as far as i can tell are Metro/Tmo. So will e nice to see the those specs there instead. 2Gb ram,16gb rom (storage),13mp rear and 5mp front camera. Another thing i notice is 320ppi instead of 250ppi.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Zycron:
Why the hell would they release a 32 bit peice of software for a device with 64 bit capabilities?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Easy. Making a 64bit capable android is harder and of a lot of the libraries for the other hw are 32bit then youd have to multi lib which is even harder to build
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Well, I haven't yet seen an OTA show up as available on my phone, but it looks like I'd better get TWRP on this bad boy and then root it sooner rather than later. I'm not a fan of locked bootloaders, and I can't help but wonder why the hell they would pull such a stunt with the 5.1.1 update. If the OTA shows up before I can get to this, I'm definitely not installing it - I'll do the manual setup to keep the bootloader unlocked.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Yea as I've probably said before. Be thankful its not like Amazon who while your sleeping will update
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] horsecharles:
I am in ZERO desire to go to 64 bit until ram size triples + storage goes past 100gb.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Well 64 but Linux systems (like android) only require 1 hig on average
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Wooooohoooo!

My Stylo's now rooted, and I've un-nerfed the camera! I'll give 5.1.1 a shot tonight.

It was a bit cumbersome to deal with camera_config.xml, but I managed to get that taken care of (File Explorer + root add-on works wonders).

I wound up having to go back up through the thread to figure out how the hell to get into TWRP from power off (I'm more accustomed to Samsung phones with hardware home buttons). Going through the "OMGWTFBBQ you're gonna erase everything!" reset screen put me off at first until I saw that yes that's how you do it.

One oddity: some of my preferences had to be reestablished after rooting. Things like the notification sounds for email and texts, custom ringtones, and "don't load images" for email, for instance. Also, my home screen widgets needed to be put back into place. Yet other prefs remained intact, such as my wallpaper, email server settings, and Smart Unlock settings. Weird. I suspect that resulted from my inadvertently booting into Safe Mode while I was trying to sort out how to get into TWRP. If you start it up by pressing and holding Power and Volume Down, and NOT letting up on the power button and then holding it down again, you'll wind up in Safe Mode instead.

Try this app,

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/xcam-xdabbeb-originally-g3-stylo-t3148847

Works better than the native cam app from LG
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] horsecharles:
Fair enough.

1. I'm leery of the added bloat / like to convert user apps to system w/o having to resize partitions.

2. Agreed re ram, & the processor(64) runs faster + lessens load on ram.

But I just feel that somehow in real life, for heavy use a phone with our specs would run slower than with present setup...the old in theory vs in practice.

I hope I'm very wrong.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] KennebellGT:
For some. Reason I can't download to external sd card and I cant move the file from. Internal to external it says external is read only. I went I to platform.xml and added rw to external sd card. I ended up just downloading the automatic add rw to external app and I still have the same problem. I went into es file explorer and under mount changed external sd card to read and write but it keeps on switching back to read only. I'm Trying to do this update and this aannoying problem keeps happening. If I try to download it straight to Mr external sd card it says not enough space
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Because it's in some other parts of the framework that blocks apps from writing

so you installed the app and activated it? still don't have write capability. hmm did you try root explorer? see if that will let you write.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
I noticed some folks using the sd fix and like to point out that google fixed the external SD access in android 5.0+. My apps like root explorer and titanium backup are able to write to external sd without doing any type of sd fixes. Android 5.0+ has a built-in permission manager that pops up when a newly installed app needs external SD access. You can also grant permissions to specific folders only.

Google announced this last year before the 5.0 release.

reference:

http://www.androidcentral.com/lollipop-brings-changes-way-your-sd-card-works-kind-youll

I just installed ES file explorer so that I can take some screenshots of the built-in external SD permission manager...

I ran into a huge problem updating to 5.1.1 . I didnt install the new recovery before a flashed the update.

Inhad the first original recovery installed. With a recovery on it already. Is my recovery file still or is it gone?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
I agree, it won't work with old or abandoned apps or if the app developer just hasn't bothered to add the new 5.0+ permissions yet. Most apps have the new perms though since app devs have had nearly a year to add them.

Nothing to do with LG. Those screenies were on my stylo same variant as yours.

I guess it don't really matter the method as long as you can write to sd.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Go to titanium preferences/backup folder location and then click on the area I circled in the screenshot. After that select the external sd and the lollipop built in manager will pop up and just grant it permission.

The titanium guys should have made a button there instead of clickable font that's not obvious at first...
