Sup ALL,

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818

But i am confused with the process of unlocking BOOTLOADER

How can i backup all of my data(games,apps,msgs,contacts & everything) before unlocking BOOTLOADER?

Which is the best app to backup all the data from the phone and restore it quickly after installing custom ROM?

Please guide me through the process of backing up the data from phone.

Download the app "Helium" from Playstore and also download the windows application and install it. Now install the motorola drivers on your pc, reboot and start the helium application. Now start the app on your phone and backup all your apps ;)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootb3r:
Thanks man.. as you said i backed up all app data from my phone using Helium.

How can i backup all apk's,internal storage files..etc.

Thanks again.:o:):):o
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notiflux:
For the apks, just install es file Explorer from Playstore, open it, click on the top left button and select 'app' under 'library' . Then press and hold on the app that you want to backup and click 'backup'. Now just copy the all the files and folders from internal storage to your pc and put them back on your phone after you unlocked your bootloader. Good luck!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootb3r:
Backed up all apps and contacts using super backup also copied all the folders from internal storage to PC..:D:D

Now ready to unlock BOOTLOADER:angel::angel:

Since the new Edge s6 is comming, are we not getting update?

Im starting to hate the phone, with the ram problem.

sometimes apps lag too due to the ram
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DroidXrei:
The Verizon variant of the S6 and S6 edge are still having their 5.1.x tested. We will most likely see that update before the end of summer assuming there are no delays or they don't skip any releases. The production and release of the S6 edge plus doesn't have any effect on the older phones getting updates as they have already been released by Samsung.

We just need to wait as this is Verizon we're talking about.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GreeleyXda:
Thats good. Im guessing 5.1 wont fix the ram tho?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Bxrider117:
Even if the update doesn't fix the ram issues I just want the update to be rootable. I purchased a white version of the s6 and I'm stuck without root because the seller took the update. I had one prior that was rooted and everything seemed to work better with a debloated rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tvoneicken:
I fear that most of us rooted folks will have a hard choice between keeping root @5.0.2 vs upgrading to 5.1 loosing root...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GreeleyXda:
I sold a nexus 6 cos i wasnt too into roms/etc and wanted to run stock tw on the S6, now i have to root to get a decent experience on the s6?

What the hell lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have auto dimness unchecked, and whenever the brightness is set to over 55%, after unlocking the phone it always auto dims byitself.

Is this normal? no other phone does this. Can this be bypassed somehow? It's jarring when you unlock and see a bright vibrant screen and all of a sudden it dims like 10% or so after 5 seconds.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
Phone auto dims when it starts to heat up regardless of your settings.

Otherwise it shouldn't as long as it's not set to auto brightness.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok, but when the phone hasn't been used in 30 minutes, and not "hot" at all, this still happens. This also happened with the G3 as well.

Is there a way to turn this off? This post has over 100 views, can everyone please comment if their screen does the same thing? Are there any solutions?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
What carrier/model do you have?

I just tried this on mine, Verizon, 611A software.

With Auto Brightness disabled, set to 40%, I powered off, turned it on, then unlocked. The brightness did not change. Then set it to 100% brightness (Auto still disabled), and did the same thing. Again, the brightness did not change.

I have, however, seen the screen brightness reduced when I'm using Auto Brightness. If I turned it off in a bright area, then unlock it in a dim area, the screen will be bright for a moment, then will turn itself down, presumably based on evaluating the current ambient brightness.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
auto brightness is always off. It's the AT&T non rooted stock version. I just tuned brightness to 70%, powered off, powered on, and after unlocking and opening chrome it auto dimmed within 5 seconds.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
Does it do it if you don't open Chrome?

I've seen apps make their own brightness adjustments (like a camera app that maxes out the screen brightness when it starts up). I want to say that Chrome (on my last phone) is one of them. Alternately, turn it on, unlock, wait 15 seconds, THEN start Chrome. If it still happens right after Chrome loads, then it's a Chrome phenomenon, not a just-turned-on phenomenon., and at least you can isolate what to chase down.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes it dims even if I don't use chrome. No matter whats on the screen it dims a little after 5 seconds.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boston Powers:
Download LUX (couple of bucks) set it to manual, 100% brightness on all LUX setting areas and it will bypass LG's lame attempt to hide the fact that they can't make a phone that doesn't suffer severe battery drain and overheating.

Your problem is called High Tempurate Thermal Mitigation (throttling). I depise it but with LUX, I tell the phone what is acceptable to me, not the other way around.

If I wanted to be dictated to like a submissive I'd just get an iphone.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
I don't doubt that excess temps can cause the phone to adjust its behavior. But that quickly after turning the screen on? That seems really fast for something to go over-temperature, and for a sensor to also detect it that quickly. You may be 100% right, it's just not something I'd expect to happen that quickly.

This is a serious suggestion, despite how it may sound :) What if you put the phone in the fridge for 15 minutes or so, then do the same test? Does the screen still dim after 5 seconds? Depending on the humidity level, the phone could start to condense after coming out of a cold environment, so use your best judgement.

For a "safer" test, hold it in front of an air conditioner for a few minutes, with the screen off. Then, still at the A/C, turn the screen on, and see if it immediately dims.

If it suddenly runs for a while before dimming, then I'd agree it's likely temperature-related. If it still behaves the same way, then perhaps it's a different cause.

Either way, Lux sounds like a nice addition to these phones, from everything I've read. I've just been too cheap to try it yet :) But the rather coarse auto-brightness from LG has me curious.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daved31415:
Have you tried the cool-down suggestions (fridge, A/C,) ?

Try installing ThermoCF to monitor the battery temperature. I find that when used for GPS (mounted on windshield) the screen will dim with direct sunlight. The temperature is in excess of 120 °F when this happens.

I just left the G4 screen on 50% brightness for about 5 minutes and the temperature remained 98 °F (this is on a wireless charger, next to a warm laptop fan exhaust). I switched to 100% brightness and the battery temperature increased to 100 °F over the next five minutes but no dimming has occurred. After a few more minutes the temperature dropped to 99 °F with the screen remaining at 100% brightness.

Different from your problem but: I turned on the developer options and set the screen to "always-on when charging" and have noticed that the screen dims after some amount of time (I haven't timed, maybe 15 minutes or so). I ended up here because I was looking for a way to change that time and may download the LUX app to do it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chivenger:
Nice to know I am not the only one having this problem. I use my phone to play Ingress and sucks the battery dry faster than anything. The screen kept going dim as I was charging.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarco:
I also have this same issue on my G5. I've tried the Lux, free version, and it still dimmed on its own. I wonder if the paid version will help out my situation?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
I like the auto-dim, and my phone seems to accept manual "guidance" as to how I prefer the auto-dim to work.

What I mean is that I can manually bump up the brightness slider (while auto-dim is checked/enabled), and the phone will auto-dim using the brighter setting. Or, I can bump the brightness slider down, and auto-dim will remember that and adjust the brightness.

So it's like you can control the baseline setting for auto-dim by using the brightness slider with auto-dim enabled, and then the phone will auto adjust from that baseline. I play ingress and during the day I bump up the slider, but during the night play I'll decrease the slider and still enjoy auto dim both ways, and preserve the most battery that way.

Aint looked to see if g4 has got it. I know g3 you go into hidden menu. And turn the thermal mitigations on and it stopped the throttle down. Lg has an insanley low throttle down temp.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarco:
Under what setting is it on the G3 so I can check the G5?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
On the g3 and g4 its under main hiden menu. I use shortcutmaster to get to them all. But the g4 the options not there. Im not sure i dont know anything about the g5. Im not interested in it at all. I am selling my g4. So i can get another g3.

Now i know theres an app 3ctoolbox. And in cpu settings you can modify the unclock temps i dont know if it does the screen.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarco:
So, the hidden menu in Marshmallow, here it is folks. Where would I be able to find the option to turn off screen dim do to thermal mitigation? Anyone have any ideas?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickSVT-40:
Mine also started to auto dim with auto brightness off. I have the H812 from Bell . I'm sure that on mine it's the proximity light sensor that is faulty or in the software. Because when i turn on the phone while blocking completely the proximity sensor it doesn't dim anymore. (knock knock doesn't work while sensor is blocked) but problem comes back if i wake up the phone without blocking the sensor. I have tried it many times and it's the same thing over and over.

Calibration in the hidden menu doesn't fix it, Lux and many other brightness apps iv'e tried don't fix the problem lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htr5:
I also use lux with cf.lumen

Lux will manage the auto brightness as per your preferences because i found the stock LG screen was about 15% lower than id like in all environments.

Cf.lumen actually changes the colour of the display rather than applying a dumb screen filter on top for night viewing.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickSVT-40:
The only thing Lux does for me is dim the screen twice since the phone already dims by itself 3-4 seconds after the screen is turned on. I can guaranty it's not an overheating problem, even after 30 minutes in the fridge it does it. I'm tempted to have the proximity sensor changed but will most likely wait for LG to release 6.0.1 to see if it will fix it.

Nougat 7.0 is days away and still no 6.0.1 MM for the G4. Pardon my language but LG really sucks . This is my first and last LG phone
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
I sold my g4 and the guy ended up sellin it back to me cheper. I put it up as a backup device. Sportin my 20 dollar galaxy s6
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _sem_:
I was also annoyed by the dim result of auto brightness in low ambient light, an particularly in dim video playback (from the gallery app) on LG G4, latest stock Android 6. Thought it was throttling first. But yesterday I found that there is a separate video playback brightness setting which overrides the default auto level.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsdennert:
It appears that the widget in the notification shade is defective on marshmallow. You can't set a base brightness and have it adjust from there like in lp. However if you set the base brightness in settings - display - brightness I think it sticks. (Well looks like only one step better as it resets again the next time the screen comes on)

I tested lollipop when it first came out, then again some time later, and never really liked it. I has been at least 3 months since I last tested a CM/AOSP/LP ROM, but this sounds promising, might backup my TouchWizz and test it later.

Is there an APP or a way to get the PEN functions working with CM/LP Roms by the way?

I like holding the button on the pen and pressing down on the screen to take a screenshot and go straight into edit mode (it's one of the features I use most with TW Roms)... Wonder if there is an equavilent way of doing such functions with the pen on LP? (Maybe using an Xposed Module, or an APP?).

Speaking of Xposed Modules, how is that running on Lollipop now? I remember it being in Alpha stages last time I tested...

Compatibility with T889

Hi!!!! I'm really interested in using this ROM, but I really wanted to see if this will work. I've uploaded specs of my phone to see if it indeed will work.

My second concern is the GAPPS. Which 5.1 GAPP should I use and which link? I'd greatlly appreciate it.

Third, which preferred Custom recovery should i use? I'm currently using twrp but not the latest edition.

And finally, This is my biggest concern. Between TW Roms and CM roms, one of the biggest problems i have is watching video content from my storage device. When using MX Player, if i have to forward or go backward, it'll stay stuck at the location that i've last viewed it in. And another concern is watching videos from Cloud storage like DropBox and Drive. Just like the MX Player issue, if i try to forward to another time stamp, it gets stuck. I thought its a wireless connectivity issue with the cloud videos but on my TW rom , itworks flawlessly and with a CM rom, it gets stuck.

I'd greatly appreciate your input. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks, so just to be clear.

You get this file cm-12.1-20150907-NIGHTLY-t0lte-recovery.img flash it using adb (if there is an easier way please let me know)

(FLASHED RECOVERY ABOVE) with ODIN by renaming and putting .tar on the end of the file.

once recovery is flashed then can flash desired ROM?

Because the link you supplied just has download links for a Rom and a recovery.img

I see nothing of this so called "shift kernel" for the phone.

Update: No idea what has happened, I am unable to install any zip file, it just goes straight back to the recovery main menu only thing that I am able to install is this ROM and gapps, everything else i download and copy over just starts then goes back to recovery main menu.

Even changed recovery and when trying to flash the proxi fix, it just says bad when trying to install using CWM

proof that I use google. >HERE<

Trying to also work out how to change a img file to a tar file to use it with Odin because I don't think that just renaming the file to .tar will work.

FIXED IT:

I reinstalled this file CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.tar.md5 to get the old recovery back, have not updated to TWRP or CWM yet and so far dial-er now works with no issues.

So it has something to do with the recovery's some how.

Tried installing CWM and it did it again, when making a phone call or accepting a call it goes black. So I am going to Flash the Auto root file again and leave it until someone can explain how to fix the issue with when installing custom recovery, Dialer stays black but I am able to go recent app list and get out of it, then hang up from Call through status bar drop down menu.

Just want to confirm on the process of how I did it

I installed the Rom already, that is when the problem started.

so then tried doing proximity fix, that did not help.

Installed the Auto root recovery through Odin with rom still installed with factory reset, dial was working with no black screen until covered.

tried upgrading the recovery from stock with root to TWRP or CWM, Problem is back so now redoing it all again without TWRP or CWM and by using the Auto root recovery.

Can confirm that once i repeated the process without reinstalling the rom or gapps and only installing the Auto root recovery on top, I manage to be able to use the dial during calls again, so its something either I am doing or something that is just happening with when installing TWRP or CWM.

Yeah, I already used the sensor app, as mentioned previously and it did not seem to fix the proximity sensor.

As for the shift link. I did manage to find some links, but it was not mentioned of anything to do with the N7105 t0lte, so thought it would not work. But if the links you supplied will work with the model, then thank you very much.

What version do I download, so the ROM will work?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sefurd:
5.7 is the latest build, I believe. I have not tested this kernel with this ROM. You might look through the thread and see if anyone else has used it...

Tried Upgrading TWRP then installing Shift LP through recovery, all it did, like all the other roms except for RR. Is boot loop recovery back to the main menu. So what am I doing wrong?
