My rooted G4 with animations disabled is way faster than waiting on the animations that can't be disabled on the iPhone.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
That's great. A jailbroken iPhone can speed up the animations as well. You didn't know that though....
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
Believe me the iphones also lags, at least on Android phones like G4 you can change launchers, I said in my review you can install the Sense 7 port on G4 and get the exact same speed and lagless feeling than on M9.

Also ALL manufacturers without any exceptions release flagships with bugs, but the thing is that they iron out these bugs in the weeks or months that follow, LG fixed the touchscreen issue

some

G4 had. I used to have extreme heat on my M9 out of nowhere but they reduced it in later FWs, though there is an horrible screen wake lag when you open the dot view cover that could reach 4 seconds and I don't know if they fixed it yet.

There is something a little annoying with the G4 though I dunno if it's a Windows 10 thingy, there are some files in the G4's memory I can't see in windows explorer! When I download a torrent file with Vuze and come in Windows to see it, it won't show up at all.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Or a nexus or droid turbo or the xperias on tricked out roms.

You are saying you can't handle it because you've got addicted to speed. Can't do without it now. Must root, jailbreak whatever.

But you will always be the slowest link. the device is waiting on your lag 99.99% of the time :D

Skins are always going to have these issues so ppl say give me a thin one, well there are vendors out there that do that. If what they offer meets your requirements great. But i find that does not happen often. so more choice means chances are better you get what you want.

Why are you on a G now ? its a good device but bit of a come down isn't it.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
No my friend no. You are making your own conclusion based on nothing really. I'm not making the lag up, I have used a lot of phones and I mean a lot. I just know good performance vs not that great performance. Compared to the M8 and the iPhone for example, the G4 stutters quite a bit. That is a fact. Now if you wanna deny that then its ok but its there. And I disagree that skins will always have these issues cause again, the M8 is one of the speediest Android devices out there and it runs with sense on top. It's about the UI and its optimizations.

I am using the Moto G3 until the IPhone is released of the nexus. Maybe the Moto X pure edition, we will see.

Keep in mind, I owned the G4, I also owned the S6, IPhone 6 and 6 plus and many other high and devices. The G4 doesn't perform as well as any of those devices in my opinion. It's a fast device that stutters more than it should.
[G4 General] JistinBrand:
LG G4

After reading this　much clear　to know　the　LG G4, maybe 8 years ago when i walked on the street found　full　of LG ADS on my side. Honest　speaking Apply, Susamg knocked　the　off　LG, it's a　pity. however ,　i like　the　appearance!
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
I had the S6 too and it was slightly more laggy than the G4, I come from an HTC M9 which is the fastest phone out there in terms of UI, the G4 is perhaps just 5% slower using the LG launcher but again (and this is why you are here in XDA) once you use a launcher like Sense 7 port (thanks xpirt) it's as fast as on M9 meaning fastest UI speed possible in 2015.

People having lags on G4 have obviously branded G4 with additional bloatwares
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
G4 does not lag at all with me, QHD screen and no lag, so it's very cool... I put animation to x0.5, that's perfect.

My phone is unbranded

How you can get Sense 7 on the G4 ?
[G4 General] rgs2:
Great review. I agree with you completely. The best phone I've ever used.

I'm wondering where you find the HTC Car app. When I go to the Play store nothing shows up from HTC when I type that in.

[G4 General] One Twelve:
Not denying it. My point is more whether you can put up with it or not. Which depends on what you are accustomed to and what to you is normal. Sometimes a USP is so compelling that you make even bigger compromises. Take Moto's recent ability to work with either a CDMA or GSM carrier in the US. This is pretty major selling point for people that live in the US albeit less outside. I can understand compromising on premium feel, battery or camera just for that. Moto's are for the most part lag free, smooth and well built.Hate that term 'premium feel', yet another lock-in tactic and responsible for samsungs misteps this year. If you like jewelry then wear jewelry but i don't see why a tool needs to look like it.

People that are used to iphone, xperia, nexus, htc are going to find shifting to samsung or lg harder for the reasons you said. Not surprising, to be expected and makes vegetaleb an exception of sorts. To move over to the 'dark side' for reasons that are important to him. To get what you want means make compromises in certain areas. Or lets say its not even a compromise but can be tolerated.

This making compromises, tolerance is very valuable, it means more flexibility. given these devices are constantly changing every year you get to retain choice. otherwise you limit your choice to select vendors. Lock yourself in to them. Every one of them want to lock you in by hook or crook and here you are doing it yourself.

The real money question is how long will vegeteleb stick to the G4. Will the M10 tempt him back ? HTC's future depends on it.

iphone is a possibility but if you owned an 6+ already why bother with the s model. it will be iteratively better.

After owning a G4 i don't see what x pure offers other than the reason i mentioned earlier.

What about waiting for snapdragon 820 devices. All manner of miracles being promised with SD820 :D
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
I made a backup on titanium backup right before selling the M9, if I find the apk I will upload it.

Now for the iphone lovers: People tend to forget we are using Android phones and are aware of XDA wonders, using the Sense 7 port made by xpirt is very easy, so if you ever find the G4 laggy, just use this port and you will get M9's speed, you don't even need root. If you don't want to play with the UI then go and buy a boring iphone but stop talking like if Android phones are the same lol, you can change very single aspect of your UI on android thanks to this community.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
yes but without root that sense 7 is running on top of the LG native UI isn't it. Not quite the same as running by itself.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
Just try it bro :)

XDA = Root btw

No XDA = iphone
[G4 General] rgs2:
Thanks, vegetaleb. Interesting I can see the app if I go to play.google.com on my computer but can't see it on my phone. Google is sometimes a bit too paternalistic. Also found your comments on Sense interesting. I had the Ml7 and liked Sense quite a bit. I was going to install it when I first got the G4 but found I liked the LG UI well enough (don't find it slow at all). However, maybe I should try it. Thanks again.
[G4 General] jayb222:
It sounds like you weren't using the 10n update on your g4. I had lag before that and now I have absolutely none! It's a beautiful thing. I'm glad I stayed with this phone. Let's see if marshmallow improves it even more. I might not even get the new nexus 5 2015 now and stick with the g4. It's that good!
[G4 General] barondebxl:
Yeah I can't speak on recent updates, I had thought G4 a couple of months ago so maybe things improved? Don't know but when I had it it wasn't good.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
Here the HTC Car app for G4

Ok first install music app from xpirt: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61738087&postcount=4

Then install base.apk which is the Car app, if you can't install it like any apk then push it to system/private-app with permissions RW-R-R

[G4 General] oldjackbob:
Just because you say so doesn't make it a fact. I'm running ADW launcher and my G4 has never exhibited any noticeable lag. Not ever, from Day One.

And that's a fact, because I said so.

Purely your opinion.

So none of your G4 badmouthing means much today.

Got it.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
You're mad. I understand. The G4 lags. Yes from my opinion..more my experience, that's the only perspective I can speak from so I don't think that I had to specify that. By the way a jailbroken iPhone can also disable animations and make it faster so your G4 lost that advantage ;)
[G4 General] oldjackbob:
No it doesn't. See, I can be just as dogmatic as you're being. ;)

You already made that point earlier, and you're repeating yourself now because you're mad. I understand. ;)
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
So who tried the Car app I posted earlier?
[G4 General] rgs2:
Is the music app necessary to make the car app work? Don't usually listen to music on the phone.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
If it wont launch without then yes

also thanks for clearing out, that touch screen issue has been resolved by software update. that was one of the reason i was holding back. btw i have also read that LG G4 has some aggressive focus issue while shooting video, is that problem still exist or has also been solved.

I recently tried to update recovery via "TWRP Recovery" app from the Play Store. I now know that this was not the correct way to do this as the KK & LP bootloaders have to have recovery "bumped."

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] arozer:
Not really a GS5 related post but just a general post.

Please check your IMEI # with MORE than one website before buying. I checked on www.checkesnfree.com and the results came up good. Then I tried activating and got a blacklisted notice. I checked another website and it indeed it blacklisted on almost all carriers.

So now I have a very expensive brick. :(
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] elesbb:
Part it out on eBay. Only thing you prolly can't sell is the motherboard.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] anderd:
Yeah sadly checkesnfree isnt very accurate anymore. I quit using it about 3 years ago because of the same reason. Hope you didnt pay too much for it, but as stated, parting it out or finding someone who can do a IMEI "repair" are likely your only options at this point.

I wish you luck, if i had extra cash on hand id make a offer but i dont even know what you paid for it and id hate to offend anyone with a "low ball" offer. Good luck sir!

Is this a joke? Lol. How would he get charged with doing anything illegal? As I stated, the only thing he probably can't sell is the motherboard. That's the part that holds the imei and esn which is the part that's blacklisted. And even still, as long as they are honest about the motherboard being blacklisted, there is no harm in that. There is no reason they cannot part out the device and at the very least make a little of their money back.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hng34:
Solved it with Xposed and a module called national roaming :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDxDaniel:
This is the tutorial:

0 - Download a file explorer and grant superuser permission (I personally use ES FILE EXPLORER).

1 - Locate this folder: /data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/

2 - Open the file "com.whatsapp_preferences.xml".

+ Mod image quality (jpg compression level ?)

Look for this line: <int name="image_quality" value="80" />

Change its value (80 by default) to whatever you want (a number between 1 to 99, you shouldn't use 0 or 100 I think).

RECOMMENDED VALUE: 90

Info: at 99 your photos won't have any compression (best quality), but the file size will be MUCH bigger (very close to the original size)

+ Mod image resolution

Look for this line: <int name="image_max_edge" value="1600" />

Change 1600 to the value you want, for example 3200 or 6400 (or bigger).

Info: I think this changes the maximum width allowed for an image. By default, if you want to send a 4K photo (for example) the sent image will be downsized to 1600px. Therefore if you want to send bigger photos change 1600 to 6400 or whatever.

++++

Results (try it by yourself too :D and tell me):

Here is a 3500x3500 photo, the original file: http://s1.postimg.org/o5rwefjm7/Screenshot_2015_09_16_16_36_20.png

And this is the sent image: http://s27.postimg.org/84yk2ooxv/Screenshot_2015_09_16_16_36_45.png

As you see it keeps the same resolution, you can also increase the quality to 99 to send photos with almost no compression, so the sent image and the original are almost the same, but I don't recommend that value because it takes longer to upload (if you have bad internet like me you won't want to increase the quality to 99), so you should try 90 (which I think is the best quality/compression level).
