:) Nice one betaboy.

It's been like trying to get blood out of a stone figuring out this wmv9 stuff.

Very much appreciate the info, good work !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] beta_boy:
Starting with CorePlayer Mobile 1.1.1 we added SMB support (CE only)... so you can add a file or folder by inputting it in the open dialogue like: \\path\folder

Noting however that network browsing is not supported at this time... we are still preparing our network stack for UPNP within 1.2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
Thanks! I'll surely love version 1.2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dpw2atox:
So I recently purchased the AT&T S6 Edge and it's my first Samsung phone. I have previously used Motorola devices ranging from the OG Droid, the Bionic and both 1st and 2nd gen Moto X. I've also rooted, installed custom roms and such on these devices. I am considering rooting my S6 Edge however there are a few things I am curious about before I do so.

From what I've read so far I can currently use FlashFire to install custom rom's but it doesn't replace the kernel as the bootloader is locked. I also understand I'd have to use ODIN to get back to stock if I want to get back on the update track.

If I root the device and install say a 5.1.1 rom (when one is eventually created) will I be able to flash either kernel or modem updates through ODIN? or will I have to stick with the current kernel and modem? Would this work but trip Knox? Does installing a rom via flashfire trip Knox?

When the 5.1.1 ODIN image is released for my phone, would wiping the device and installing it via ODIN have any advantages to say installing the update and doing a factory reset?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilador:
Hi There,

I want to ask people that have tried several different roms: What are the big differences between Stock roms and CM/AOSP Roms?

Also: What are the downsizes of using CM/AOSP Roms? I head about a worse camera but is that all of it?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

C.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhcomputerguy:
I am finding out that every custom rom that i try, CM or AOSP, has a bluetooth ble bug. They will not see bluetooth low energy devices such as some fitness trackers. Custom roms look much better than stock roms but i am forced to being on stock because of that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilador:
Can someone using non stock roms throw a bit of light over here please?

1. Does FM radio work?

2. Does the camera picture quality drop by a lot?

3. Does the eye recognition feature work?

4. Does the knock knock wake feature work?

5. Does battery life improve or worsen?

6. Does it have a Bluetooth bug such as the poster above mention?

Any feedback on these matters will be very much appreciated :)

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
For me, i tired 2 AOSP roms, and went back to stock after a month, THEN i heard that it supported 4k via Snap Camera so i flashed another AOSP Rom, im now back on cloudy 2.5

The let downs for me are...

The Camera sucks so hard - nothing comes close to stock, not even lenovo super camera, the moto port.

Battery sucks, yea it can vary Rom to Rom but for me, battery life was crap, im not (and many others) arent interested in flashing 4-5 different kernels and then having to use Synapse to tweak stuff to get the best out of it.

Laggy, i got lags, even with it set on "performance" and having it set there drained even MORE battery.

Many people are happy on AOSP roms but after nearly a year with my G3, stock is still the best (purely IMO)

Good luck
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
1. Yes, with Spirit FM app

2. Yes, especially in low light.

3. Not included in custom roms, can be added by application.

4. Double tap to wake works most of the time. Periodically it stops working and user have to disable and enable it.

5. Well, i've got 0.5%/h in deep sleep, and 6-6.5H in active browsing via LTE. Screenshots attached. RR 5.5.3, pure stock - no custom kernel, sysctl/buildprop/etc tweaks.

6. Never had any BL LE device, can't say.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilador:
Many thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated :)

Did you implement any tweak to achieve that much sot battery life? Like reducing screen resolution and such. What battery life did you manage to get back with a stock rom? To compare.

.

And the camera in good light conditions, does quality really suffer that much?

Thanks again!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
No tweaks, no resolution changing (Besides, it won't change battery life unless you're gaming, 2d performance for FHD and 2K is very close on Adreno 330) and no custom kernel.

This result is consistent - today I lost 23% for 3h of usage, of which 83 minutes are SOT. 83/23*100 = 360,8 minutes of SOT if usage pattern won't change. 6 hours of browsing on LTE while travelling through city (i.e changing cells often and high brightness) is good enough for G3.

On standby, I lose 0.4 - 0.7% per hour, depending on how much data there is to sync.

On stock KK, I almost always got 5.10 - 5.30 h of SOT with same usage pattern. But KK was pretty laggy, so I switched on LL. I tried every D855 5.0 build which lg released (With the exception of 20B/C), and even on latest builds I struggled to get 5h SOT, usually phone ended up dry after 4.30 - 4.40 h.

Camera postprocessing in normal conditions is worse than on stock - pictures are less sharp, example of AOSP photos attached.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
Great post mate thanks :)

DId you just pretty much flash RR and thats all, wow, impressive SOT !
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Yes.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoreGone:
Hello,

I recently flashed an AOSP rom on my LG G3 and the first time I went to edit a photo from Google Photos it asked which editor I wanted to use and I could select Snapseed for all future edits. Awesome considering the editor isn't even as good as the previous model.

But do to Camera limitations in non-stock ROMs, I am back to an LG based ROM. Now the Google Photos does not give the option to choose which editor to use.

Is there something I can do to force this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] aaronc_98:
For those who have done the update, is battery any better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bubblebuddyi:
For what it's worth, my "estimated time remaining" has vastly improved. Can't say about real-time though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] joshnichols189:
It's been like five hours.. not really enough time to tell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dc/dc:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cowboysfanzz77:
My s6 edge still has memory leak and brightness issues after 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] knitler:
Figure it would be nice to have a thread of changes we have found in 5.1.1

For me the UI feels a LITTLE more responsive, nothing major. That's all I have seen.

What about others?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] J3COMPUTERSERVICES:
For me so far it has been better standby time. Battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
Agree it's very very early, but I had pretty bad battery drain for the first few hours after I updated. Cleared cache via the stock recovery and it seems to be much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kill2010:
Definitely feels snappier.. I've noticed slightly better battery life.. But I can't really tell yet.. Just gotta use the phone and figure out any immediate changes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevessvt:
I just cleared my cache with stock recovery too, and when it rebooted, it said the update failed, which is strange since I updated it 11 hours ago, and I'm definitely on 5.1.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tonytien:
I noticed that too. I had to reboot twice into recovery (had to go back into Android because I needed to decrypt my phone to clear cache). Both times it said "Installing system update". No ertror mesage, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] philliman:
Updated this morning. Played around with my phone for a bit and then did a factory reset for the heck of it. So far it's pretty decent. I like the new camera feature and the removable S Finder and Quick Connect boxes too. I've been running it with everything turned on for almost a month and was getting great battery life. So far the battery is doing pretty good as I'm using it quite heavily.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ravioli623:
I did a factory reset after the update and now can't disable the Facebook app. I had it disabled before update.

EDIT - I'm able to disable from the application manager under settings, but not from the app drawer. Other apps / bloatware could be disabled directly from the app drawer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
RIGHT? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FatalIll:
Waaaaait a tick, how do you do it from the drawer? Im still on 5.0.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ravioli623:
With most preinstalled apps (Instagram, Milk apps, Whatsapp, etc), I held down on the icon inside the app drawer and could drag it to a Disable / Turn Off option in the top left.

Maybe I'm mistaken and you could never disable Facebook from the drawer. This process worked before and after 5.1.1 and factory reset for every app. After 5.1.1, I only noticed Facebook couldn't be disabled this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
I disabled it from the app drawer before as well and can't anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] guaneet:
You have to go into application manager and disable it from there. You can't disable com.tmobile.pr.adapt anymore either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
I'll tell you what about this release, the battery is definitely better. With my usually usage, volte and WiFi calling disabled and most of the bloat disabled I'm right at 3 hrs screen on time with 55% battery remaining. This is obviously with the stock kernel.

Performance is better as well. It better be if only 6 apps at best are allowed to run at once lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lonewolf5460:
I used odin to get back to stock 5.0.1 somehow my files and settings stayed. I updated to 5.1.1 and the hotspot hack stayed on somehow, I am a happy camper now to just wait for root. I put it on my aunts phone the day before and the battery life difference got me to upgrade its a big difference I am not losing so much % an hour while idle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jhun80:
Before the update, i experienced extreme lags! Much better memory management now than before.

raw camera support in third party apps like snap camera hdr and camera v5

:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevecer1:
raw camera support.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting raw support. The 5.1 update gives full access to raw from the galaxy s6 just download snap camera hdr and enable camera 2 api under settings and select save raw instead of jpg. The raws are incredible have fun. I posted some here flicker site just search flicker for galaxy s6 raw and you can find my site.

The raw Picture File Is Under Your camera folder it don't have the words raw on it

Just open it in a raw converter on your computer. Lightroom is very good or you can use your phone there's an app call photomate r2 on the app store that allows raw edits and conversion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] phate89:

So now with some more time I can definetely say that the standby batter is improved slightly. The only thing that has been odd for me is that around a day or so of runtime the phone becomes very choppy and sliggish. A reboot fixes it by that's what has happened twice or so.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

TWRP 3.2.1 Changelog: https://twrp.me/site/update/2017/12/09/twrp-3.2.1-0-released.html

Installation instructions: Use the official TWRP app (requires root), available here and here. If you already have TWRP installed, you can also download the latest available img and flash it from recovery.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Thanks very much for this! Great work! That is really nice that there is now official support for awifi/v500.

I assume the images are bumped?

Are the kernel sources for official twrp using your kernel sources?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Sources

This is the device repo for awifi/v500: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_lge_v500

The kernel in awifi/v500 repo was compiled from here, which is V50030A based.

This is the device repo for palman/v510: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_lge_palman

The kernel in palman/v510 repo is from 5.1 official build.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
So, now we should be able to just flash the .img file directly within TWRP to update. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Yes!

The repo for v510 is going to be renamed since it doesn't need to follow the "cyanogen" way, which is using the model name instead of the device name. That's why there is a little confusion with the names v500/awifi and v510/palman. The GPE repo will be named palman (which is the correct way) and the non GPE repo will stay as v500 (it should be called awifi), since almost every custom rom uses "cyanogen" way. If we wanted the non GPE to be named correctly we would need the devs of every custom rom to add an assert to their boardconfig so both, v500 and awifi, would be valid at installation time. It's just one line change.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
Do we need to have TWRP recovery already flashed or can I just flash this recovery in the stock 20D with root?

Do we only need root access and flash the recovery using the TWRP manager from Play Store in stock 20D?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] aidfarh:
fefifofum, firstly, thanks for making an official TWRP for the V510.

Secondly, can you please enable backup of recovery partition?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
There are three ways to install TWRP explained at the installation details. Two of them require root and the third one requires twrp >= 2.8.4.0. Choose the one that is easier for you, they all should work.

I could try, but it needs to go through gerrit. Why would you need to backup recovery partition?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] aidfarh:
It's not strictly needed, but good to have for completeness. For example, if I flash a new version of TWRP and then find that's there a bug, I could just restore the previous version from backup. Of course, I could always just use fastboot or flashify to flash the old version, but it's nice to have the option.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
I know, but I just want to be shure that this time I don't brick the tablet.

So you confirm that when we are stock with version 20D we just need root access? It's not necessary anymore a loky exploitable aboot?

Sorry for being a pain in the ass! :)

EDIT: Thank you [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] for your work
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
I have installed the TWRP manager and selected install TWRP. Which version should I flash? The latest 2.8.1.0? And the twpr - awifi. img or the openrecovery - twrp - awifi. img?

I'm on stock 20d version with root. Thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Old versions will still be available to download, so if a new version had issues you could always download and install an older version. No need to backup recovery I guess...

We don't need loki anymore, you just need to be on kitkat bootloader.

It looks like TWRP manager didn't update the images for the gpad. I will talk to them so they fix it and remove the old images, there should only be one version available: 2.8.6.0. Until then, please use the "dd" installation method.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
Thanks.

I think I'll wait for the TWRP manager update.

EDIT: Couldn’t wait and tried the dd method. For the first time, after thousands of attempts, I have the TWRP installed in the tablet!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Glad to hear that! It seems the app TWRP manager cannot reach the new servers where official builds of TWRP are, so it's better not to use the app installation method to avoid installing old versions.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] bokoy:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] thanks a lot!!! I'm using slim alpha 4, what bootloader should I flash to solve the backlight problem? Thanks again

Pd: use rashr app to flash twrp, download .img and flash from internal memory, no problems. Don't use twrp manager.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I guess V50010B bootloader is what you need, but then you will probably have brightness issues while using this recovery.
