My Verizon LG G3 VS989 received the Lollipop ? 5.0.1 update. I despise this battery leach of an update. I found 2 good battery saver apps. But they require root. I have tried a few methods with no luck. Anyone have a sure fire way to root?

I was going to wipe the cache to help with my phone having slowed down quite a bit. When I got to the recovery, I was thoroughly surprised to see this:

The last time I went to wipe the cache, I ended up holding the buttons for too long and did... something. All I know is my phone vibrated a few times and then rebooted, but nothing was messed up so I assumed I did a cache-clearing key combination. I've never had something like this happen to me before (I'm new to non-nexus Samsungs).

At the bottom, all I can read is "[...]cation failed" and I can still use it like normal.

Hi:

I found that some srt contians special tags:

00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,170

And MX did not support them, they show on screen like this

{\pos(296,67.09)} sub text

but MPC-HC did.

Will MX support this tags or can we just ignore them?(hide the tags)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Smokeyla1:
Looking to update my gf's phone that I haven't touched since installing I believe safestrap and Echoe ROM v. 20 with what looks like MLD baseband. Has anything come out to unlock boatloader and/or what would be the newest/recently updated ROM to load on it. Appreciate any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DankHeals:
Bootloaders for this phone have yet to be unlocked.

I /THINK/ MDL is able to be Loki'd, which would mean you could get TWRP and have a nice amount of ROM options.

I don't know if those options include Lollipop (which is on OC3). If you update to Lollipop, the Loki patch will no longer work, and you'll only be able to install ROMs that are safestrap-compatible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Smokeyla1:
Is Loki better than safestrap? I do have safestrap already installed on the phone. Curious if I can update it to something like GoldenEye ROM to give at least some features of lollipop without losing root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Undefined Origin:
Loki is a bootloader exploit that lets you flash non- TouchWiz kernels.

Twrp is the recovery, and yes TWRP plus Loki is better than SS.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.6.0 and Dandvh Gpe 5.0.1 ROM on my mdl and am very happy with the results

You can flash L.P. without changing your bootloader. I'm on 5.01 with the OC3 modem but stl have my MDL bootloader

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mlalahoi:
First let me apologize for the title of this thread, I really couldn't resist. I just bought a i-mate jasjam and have spent the last several days reading these forums, the wiki, and all the other places that clicking things here will take you. I want to say right out that EVERYTHING I know about the Hermes I learned from this site, and that I am a complete beginner, and please do flame away if i am wrong. I'd rather get insulted online than have a brick in my pocket.

THe one thing that there isn't in the wiki (that I found anyway) is a current, step by step for total noobies like me who don't know what to do first and get scared by dealing with more than three file types in one sitting, that uses the SD card method. It seems that the SD method is faster, easier (especially if you run Vista), and even a little safer that the "old school" RUU method.

Soooo, I'd like to write a new wiki page to this effect, and am more than happy to put in screenshots, links, host file downloads, etc. What i'd REALLY appreciate is if you senior types could take a look at this simple outline and tell me if there is something drastically wrong with it. After a good schooling I'll post a complete article with more copied info from the threads and complete sentences and punctuation and stuff.

PROPOSED "DAY-ONE, JUST OUT OF THE BOX CAN"T WAIT TO" UPGRADE

1.enter bootloader mode to check sp version

2.format an SD card to FAT32, checking card integrity and fixing errors

3.Use Winar to Extract the .NHB file from Hard-SP-v7.zip, transfer to SD card with card reader and rename to HERMIMG.NHB

4.put the card in the phone and enter the bootloader by pressing side OK, Power, and soft reset button (with stylus). Once in bootloader mode accept the upgrade

This safe-nates things up, and CID unlocks the phone, right?

5.re-format SD card to FAT32, checking card integrity and fixing errors

6. Use WinRar to Extract the .NBH from HERM_Radio_Only_1.41.00.10_CustomRUU, transfer it to the SD card and rename it HERMIMG.NBH

7. put the card in the phone and enter the bootloader by pressing side OK, Power, and soft reset button (with stylus). Once in bootloader mode accept the upgrade

8. check the radio version in system info

9. re-format the SD card for FAT32, checking integrity and fixing errors

10. Use WinRar to Extract the .NBH from WM6 ROM of choice, transfer it to SD card and rename HERMIMG.NBH

11. Put the card in phone and enter the bootloader mode as above, when in bootloader accept the upgrade. Follow instructions from mrvanx for activesync

12. transfer my CAB files for applications to (Temp?) folder on card and then run each of them to install my apps (Skype, CeStar,TengoThumb,etc.)

Does this sound about right? Thoughts? Flames?

Thanks to all for such fantastic work, donations on the way for all who wrote files I have downloaded over the past few days, you guys rock!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Midget_1990:
whats with the SD card upgrading?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
you can run HardSPL by itself, you dont have to extract and put the nbh file on ur storage card.. unneccesarry steps if you ask me.. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mlalahoi:
Well, I run Vista, and I like the idea of not having to fiddle with the drivers in order to do RUU, and I saw a few posts that some people had difficulty getting things to work with Vista. Also, posts have led me to beleive that it is faster to do it this way, which would lead to less chances of things going wrong (it's really hard to make Vista stop doing things in the background all the time). Also, there are already really awesome guides for doing it the RUU way, but not one for a complete SPL/Radio/ROM upgrade using this method, I think it appeals to a lot of people, including the dreaded Mac user. If it's not actually a good way please do explain, and finally, to me it just seems plain easier. I've only found a few posts that had troubles with the method and dozens that praised it. thanks for replying!!

Madcap, thanks for the input, I was going for continuity but I take your advice, keep 'em coming!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
oh...you didn't mention Vista in your original thread.. lol .. best advice I can give you ... Throw vista in the trash.

Yep, I ll drink to that
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
ugh .. u mentioned the D work.. great.. now I'm going to relapse.. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Zzan:
Step 4 does not CID unlock the device. It looks like it just installs Hard SPL which will allow the user to recover from a bad radio flash.

Of course this should not matter as there really isn't a need to CID unlock any more (unless you want to unlock/unhide your EXT ROM)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
HardSPL just makes your phone Temporary superCID right or something to that effect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mlalahoi:
Cool, it was my understanding that Hard SPL temporarily makes you super CID (as Madcap said) allowing you to flash on any ROM you want, for all intents and purposes is this not pretty much the same thing as unlocking? Not arguing, just trying to clarify. A lot of noobs know that CID is an issue and that they need to disable it somehow when they flash......

Please keep comments coming,Thanks!!!!

P.S. MOD, in my sleep addledness I think I posted this in the wrong place, should it be moved to the UPGRADE forum? THANKS!!

P.P.S. Drinking is the only way I can tolerate having a Vista machine, we all were so happy about getting our new laptops this year, and then we turned them on....it's like getting a christmas present in the shape of a new bicycle, but when you tear off the wrapping paper there's really a tetanus shot inside.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mlalahoi:
SUCCESS!!

I followed the OP steps (with very minor modification) and was able to go from a completely new, out of the box, never even put in a sim card phone to HardSP-V7, upgraded radio, new WM6 ROM (Schaps, this ROM is awesome, thanks!!!). All without using a cable or upgrading any drivers. From beginning of first download to totally upgraded was one hour. Why anyone would ever do this the old-fashioned way is beyond me, especially if you are running Vista. I'm making a tutorial and have collected the few little things you need to do this and will add a wiki article with pics ASAP.

Thanks to everyone for all the great info and hard work here, a complete noob like me can go from 0-60 entirely by reading this site. I am loving this phone more by the minute!!

Hi mlalahoi,

I am getting a lot of issues after installing CE-Start. Played virtually with every WM 6 ROM arround and still experiencing freezing.

Have run Shadow and LVSW without CE-Start for couple of days and both ROMs was very stable and fast. After CE-Start lot of problems. :confused:

Did you download the 2.8 Suite from the mobem website here AND use thier installer to install TO THE PHONE (install to SD doesn't work)?

I had similar problems when I went through the process of getting my hermes to be dual English and Chinese. THe first time I tried to manually install some cab files I found on a chines forum somewhere, totally jerked my normally very good Shaps ROM. I ended up having to do a hard reset, trying to uninstall the cabs just caused an unrecoverable hang. Make sure you use the official, latest install program and install to the phone, mines been flawless ever since.

Without registering you don't get the dictionary, but you can get a really good free version of CEDICT for mobiles here, it allows you to search by pinyin w/wo tones, english, or chinese characters. If you have trouble getting it to copy-paste between other apps try this app from the Wiki.

I have a collection of good ppc Chinese learning tools, pm me if you want to set up a file transfer, and do check out www.mandarintools.com for all your CHinese computing needs, no affiliation, just a great site.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marttin:
Hi mlalahoi,

Thanks for the links! Actually I was using all the time v2.8 of Ce-Star, including the original installer - never used cabs to install. I found that "my" version of Ce-Star package is 6KB less than the one you recomended - here might be the problem. During the weekend will flash a new Rom and will play with the "new" Ce-Star 2.8 -- hope it will rock ;)

I am using the ppc version of 金山 (PowerWord) and it serves me well. My Chinese characters needs are very simple ones - to be able to reed text and e-mails in Chinese, and rarely to answer using characters.

Will send you feedback about stability of the ROMs with "new" Ce-Star

Seems to be a 'picky' thing on some devices.

I was doing a Skype walk thru with a guy, step by step how to upgrade, and using the Power, OK, sticky in the hole flashing wasn't working.

Turned out his SD card was still in RAW format.

Once he formatted it to FAT32, it worked like advertised.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GreatGrey:
Errr, you mean like this WIKI posting?

Why not try this one? and leave out the company specific 3rd step.

It's all been done, flashing is simple, easy, and safe thanks to pof, des, and mrvanx and their guides.

Jeeze, a guy figures it out, and has to tell the world.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.

Because this has been built from scratch I decided to start a new thread instead of adding to the Tweaked Xperia ROM.

Changes Made:

I have added the [MENTION=5664601]Jon Lee[/MENTION] ovation-kernel-May-27-2015.

OptiPNG, Zipped and Odexed the ROM. Patched services.jar with "Ultimate Jar Power Tools". Added my little tweaks to it. Replaced the launcher with the Google Now launcher. I added the Lollipop keyboard and the Sony Walkman music player with the UPNP/DLNA Media Server. Also added a custom sound engine that will greatly improve the sound quality.

When flashing the ROM it will replace your recovery with TWRP. This version of TWRP can format cache and data to F2FS. Formatting cache and data to F2FS will wipe everything off of the internal SD. So backup before formatting.

Other Changes:

Add extra fonts.

Browser Hulu support.

Google Now Launcher with "OK Google" hot word.

Google LOLLIPOP KEYBOARD.

To get AC3 sound working in MX Player I have loaded the Arm v7-Neon codec. Depending on when you download/installed the ROM you may need to update the codec, the linked thread has all the info you need to know if the codec is outdated and needs updating.

I have also added some terminal commands to the ROM.

Each command needs to run as root to work. To do this type SU in the terminal followed by the command you want to run.

fixfc - Fix apps force closing.

sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition

v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script.

fixalign -ZipAlign AND Fix Permissions

vac - SQLite VACUUM & REINDEX to optimize databases

zepalign - "ZepAlign" / Wheel Alignment Script (ZipAlign) optimizes all your apps

DOWNLOAD​

The Lite version only comes with the bare necessities, where as the full ROM comes with a full suite of apps (installed to data so easy to uninstall).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] techdudepro:
Could you make a Nook HD version?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
I could but I would need a guinea pig. I don't own the device so wouldn't be able to test the ROMS.

Plus one on the major speed improvements to the ROM is using the F2FS file system. Something that is done with the Yellow Kernel. So far the Yellow kernel is only available for the HD+.

Anyway I have released an update. There are now DEOXEDED and ODEXED versions of the LITE and FULL.

I have been experimenting with the way the APKS were packaged. I have stripped the libs from the APKs and placed them into the lib folder.

Because of this I have seen very little performance differences between the ODEXED and DEOXEDED versions.

Both versions have been uploaded because I am still running tests. Haven't got a definite result of which version performs better.

If you really don't care about experimenting to see which version is the fastest go with the DEOXEDED version. DEOXEDED ROMs are far easier to work with and this version seems to perform better then the ODEXED version, but as I am not getting constant benchmark results I can't say for sure. It's too close to call.

[Nexus Player General] junior_mafioso:
I have a huge issue with the 'sling box for phones' app and its ability to cast to the nexus player. I literally only works half the time. You have to do this weird thing where you start the app, hit the cast button, realize it's doing nothing, restart the app, and then maybe casting will work. Its never worked the first time. Then to boot once you finally get it working it has a huge tendency to lag and force close back to the nexus player home screen. Sometimes this happens so frequently I just give up in frustration. It's ridiculous. I don't have the greatest WiFi connection (your basis Comcast package) but it seems like the quality of the software is not there and I really don't know who or what to blame because all my other casting apps seem to work fine even with a mediocre connection.

The worst part is I have two high end phones (nexus 6 and note 4) which makes it extremely frustrating that I'm running the latest and greatest hardware but it simply just doesn't work like its supposed to.

So after messing around I have found that if you simply just start the slingplayer app on your phone and then do the screen mirroring functionality within the Chromecast app it works flawlessly and doesn't seem to force stop or lag at all. This furthers my confusion as to why the original cast functionality within the slingplayer app just doesn't seem to work. Its just an extra step that is annoying because you cant use your phone while its mirroring unless you happen to have an extra device lying around.

Didn't mean to rant for so long. Hope this was somewhat useful.
[Nexus Player General] porschet:
I have the same problem where the sling app on the nexus player will just sit there doing nothing. It will work after a few tries but annoying nonetheless. Otherwise I'll use the lollipop screen mirror feature but that's a battery killer and you can't multitask. At least it works...
[Nexus Player General] david279:
I would blame the slingplayer devs, we only get one update a year. My HD Pro is sitting pretty useless because i can't use it with casting at all. I guess they want me to buy a M1.
