[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DogInSpae:
I am on a Verizon LGG4 VS986 rooted.

My hosts file is currently blocking google services because of an issue I had with the Freedom IAP cracker app. Before I knew that the hosts file was the issue, google play said that it was unable to connect as well as my youtube and my google drive so I decided to factory reset using recovery mode. After my factory reset and cache clear I was put in the setup wizard where I have been "Checking connection..." for the last hour. I think my hosts file is preventing me from finishing my setup wizard and I cant exit the setup. How do I edit or delete my hosts file without being able to get in my phone?

Things I've tried:

-factory reset

-return to stock (http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848) KDZ not TOT

-cache clear

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help

Hi all

Just open this thread, for Feedback & Changelogs & Discussion ONLY

Lets try to make this as clean as possible in one single place

Please under the xda rules, we CAN NOT post any links whatsoever, or post ROM builds on XDA

( Due to the lack of kernel GPL compliance by the manufacturer, from main house)

******

For OTA users, please contact jiayu.de support with your questions, this is not the right place.

******

This is the LP 5.1.1 Made by Official Jiayu Germany

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
Before you post your feedback ...

If you have Xposed installed

If you dirty flash

If you restore any apps data (i.e.: Titanium Backup)

I will not take into consideration your bugs

Great, now we can discuss and give better feedback about the ROM, I also assume that is hard to you guys to check the feedback in every page on the huge main thread that grow in pages day after day, even though we don't deserve a thread lol :P

running beta 8 right now, the new features are great! as always great work guys!

I didn't fully understand - so, 5.1.1 discussions move to this thread and KK discussions, official Chinese ROMS discussions and TF Android discussions stays in previous thread?

Previous thread was alive only by jiayu.de ROM discussions) There isn't too much discussions about other ROMs)

So, do we need this thread? Maybe it is better to ask mods to give admin rights to [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] in previous thread for editing first post of thread?

CyanLockScreen

Is it possible in some future version of the ROM to be included option to choose the size of the pattern in Security -> Screen security -> Pattern. There is such a module for Xposed which works on KK, but unfortunately on LL it crashes the System UI. This option is really useful, because the "3x3" pattern is simple and not so secure compared to "5x5" pattern that I used on KK. Right now this is the only thing that I really miss from the old 4.4.4 and still cannot find working alternative. There is an app in PlayStore called "Security Lock Screen", but on LL it doesn't start immediately, so it is easy to be broken through.

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] toncheee:
Yes, I have the same feeling, but it started with Beta7. Nothing better on Beta8. Thought it was caused by XDA app (didn't use it till beta7), so I removed it...

Got it thanks. Is it possible to show my cellular network type in the statusbar? Like G E 3G 4G and so on like on kitkat? If not it is a feature request for me. And if it is possible I would request a power saving smart network option, which switches networks like 2G when screen off or wifi connected, 4g when screen on and wifi off and so on.

And if it is not hard to implement, screen off animations.

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] AlexZap:
There are still some issues with the play store, tho I don't know if it is on your end or Google's... today I wiped my phone and went back to the "stock" gapps that come with the rom. I have the same issue, certain apps in the play store that worked fine on the Jiayu kitkat rom report as "incompatible". I'll post some links to them when I get a chance. And it isn't just a lollipop or 64bit incompatibility either... I have contacted the app developers and they have said based on my device specs it should be compatible, other 64 but lollipop devices (I.e. Samsung) have no issues... and if I just install the apk, the apps work fine.

On another note, I noticed the stock play services were 32 bit, not 64 bit. I thought this was a bit strange, but I have never compiled a rom, so I have no idea how the Capps package gets selected or added. Could just be an overwrite on my part, but the last three digits of the version number on the stock play services was 436, I.e. lollipop, 32 bit, 320 dpi.

And on a third note, you guys have ruined me for China phones (both .de and .es). I don't think I could get another phone unless it had such a vibrant developer community. I hope you plan on keeping up the work, and when (if?) The s4 comes out you do the same for it. Otherwise ill have to break out the big bucks and get a nexus device. Custom ROMs make the whole experience so much better! Keep up the awesome work!

p.s. I'm not complaining about the play store and demanding a fix... I just see it as a bug that needs reporting.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
Alex i don't have any issue with Play.

These GAPPS, where not "chosen" by us, they are from the source ...

Again, i really don't have any issue, Play works fine. :eek:

Open GAPPS, have issues for me ...

cheers
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dior DNA:
So if one flashes jiayu.de beta is there google play store included? I don't know because I always added open gapps mini on top of it (assuming such was needed). I guess I wonder: does one (y/n) need to add anything on top of jiayu.de beta, or can everything from google be found in google play, if not, which gapps package is recommended?
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
Our rom comes with GAPPS, yes ...

cheers
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dior DNA:
Ah, thanks! that most probably explains one particular issue I have ... (cannot receive SMS).

But then again, I flashed mini open gapps (honestly assuming and not knowing better then such was needed)..

Perhaps consider informing people on post #1 or #3 in thread

that GAPPS are included and should not be flashed.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] AlexZap:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.szkct.weloopbtnotifition.main

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woot.android.main

Two apps that work with jiayu KitKat and other lollipop ROMs, but fail with both the included gapps and flashed open gapps.

As far as gapps goes, I thought they were prebuilt packages only, and that's what set them apart from their aosp counterparts... Google didn't/doesn't release source for their own apps. And if you are compiling them, why do they report as 32 bit?
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
They are (of course) pre-compiled already on the source ...

Again, i don't have any issues with these GAPPS...

Really fced up...I cannot use maps for walking at all...
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Metrino:
Try to do the following:

- before using it, make a compass calibration (shape an 8 in the air, moving the phone in all 3 axis)

- take the phone with one hand, without any rings on fingers, far away from your body, cars, poles, metallic nets, and so on

If the compass keeps jumping, then we can assume you have an hardware issue.

To exclude every software issue, try to install a clean KK ROM (13 aug or 07 may)
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dior DNA:
You mean delete and create account again on a particular device or on Google globally? The last option sounds a bit drastic. So I assume first option, right?

---------- Post added at 17:08 ---------- Previous post was at 17:06 ----------

I think gapps requires some separate attention.

For me it is just fine if a fimware has no gapps and if fimware

developers recommend some, preferably, recent, and 64 bit (for S3 LP), external

gapps zip. In fact that's how most CM and AOSP custom firmware I have

flashed on other devices was presented.

It's also fine if fimware has gapps, but then also, preferably,

recent, and 64 bit (for S3 LP) ones. I imagine developers will then discourage

flashing external gapps on top of it.

Example (note this is not a complaint, only an observation):

JiayuS3-5.1.1_jiayu.de_Beta9 and open_gapps-arm64-5.1-mini-20151008

Velvet aka GApps/search and GmsCore aka Core/gmscore are 32bit in

beta9 and 64bit in gapps-arm64.

I had flashed open_gapps on top of jiayu.de and have an issue with

receiving SMS (I suspect open_gapps GmsCore install screwed things

up). So, I (manually) reverted both back to jiayu.de. But now Play

Store refuses to upgrade Google search (error code: -501),

perhaps it insists on 64bit?

Whatever the explanation for deviating behaviour, agreed 100% my

responsability, is, I still believe some recommendation from

developers is welcome. As said: either provide no gapps and recommend

some gapps that go with the firmware or provide gapps but then recent

64bit ones so that one can move forward.

So, this is not a complaint, on the contrary, it's a mea culpa and a

suggestion for even more strict rules to be up to date,

and avoid obscure side effects of unwanted gapps.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Metrino:
Sure :D

I mean directly on smartphone, settings->accounts. That's why this option is lossless, data is still stored on the could, then when you set again the account, I'll find again all of your contacts.

To be honest, ther's some risk to loss last calls and smss
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sirdickens:
I tried all that already, each ROM (KK -> LL), each compass app, tried all possible available calibration (8 symbol, turining around), on different locations (e.g in home, outdoors, on the go, in car etc) and still no accuracy... I did notice that sometimes it shows good readings, but it eventually just stops, or when I turn phone it doesn't turn for the proper angle...

In MTK EngMode compass data are good (on KK it wasn't always good, but now on LL it shows 3.0 always).

My friend with S3 has same problems, and I've seen many other people complaining on compass...so it is either whole batch with defective devices, or maybe different sensor...really dunno...
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Metrino:
Back to build.prop: now the phone is recognized on Google Play as ALPS JY-S3, that's just a cosmetic issue but ... just my two cents :D

Found a bug in launcher: I had a couple of app grouped togheter, I uninstalled both, than the launcher crashed. It restarted by itself anyway.

Beta 10... Something tells me there still is battery issues. Battery was at 56% when I flashed... Then I plugged it in, booted to recovery and flashed SuperSU, and booted to the system with the phone plugged into my charger the whole time, but it reported the battery at 20%. I left it on charge, and the last 15 or 20 percent shot up. No logging running, but here is the battery stats from android.

Beta v10

Maybe i have a problem with the device, but i'll ask... Last night wen i flash beta 10 that was the most fluid and polish beta till now... after charged it i have a constant lag in the launcher slit one but constant (are your devises act like this) I'm curious do you experience lag in KK is there anyone that has absolutely fluid devise with no lag at all...?

Maybe it is because i have 2gb version and the LP ram consumption is qute high if there is a way to decrease the ram usage(@superdragonpt&@DerTeufel1980). But anyway i'll appreciate any answers.. .. THX..

I've been flashing roms on XDA for almost a decade, since when did they make a rule that says no links? How are we supposed to know what rom we are even talking about? Well anyway I finally found the site jiayu dot de and weeded through the forums. It's not easy to find information considering everything is written in German.

But does anyone know if these beta roms work on the Jiayu S3 with 2GB of RAM?
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Borizzz:
Yes, jiayu.de ROMs do work on 2Gb version.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
The rom is suitable for both S3 models

The question about -no links- is that xda rules state that GPL Kernel code, must be available.

Since there's no kernel code available (for the general public), then, we can't post the rom here on xda, nor, any outside links.
