[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
The play is a midranger with a good battery not comparable with a flagship like the G4. Maybe you were thinking of the Style or Pure as its known in the US.

Not too much at the moment. Just root. To use xposed entails risk as there is no recovery. Unless you can source a H815 euro variant of the G4.

What you need from roms ? that stock with root can't give you.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
I'll be honest, I was about to use my middlefinger to write an aggressive post for you but the intelligent part of my brain said "STOP! THINK!". So I thought...and thought again. Coming from Nexus devices running CM only, on the G4 I have yet to find a reason to even consider a custom ROM. I sometimes miss the pure Android but that's all about it. It's the first time since my Nokia E72 in 2007 I did not switched a ROM for more than a month. Let's see where this goes. Good point mate!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Will you be able to convince the OP of that ?

Otherwise he needs to look elsewhere.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
It's too early for the G4 now. Currently only the EU H815 model has an unlockable bootloader. LG's official page says more devices will be added to the list soon, but I wouldn't count on that. Since you're from Canada and propably won't get the H815 on contract, it'd be risky. If I had your patience, I'd wait for the 5X. You seem to be an Android purist. I wouldn't want to deal with a device running a custom version of Android. Also, even if CM or any other AOSP ROM would make its way to the various variants of the G4, they're going to have these little issues here and there because of bad or missing documentation from the manufacturer. It'll be a buggy experience overall. For example, I'm sure the camera will be a mess on CM/AOSP/A

It's great so far. Running vanilla Android was a nice experience but I got bored. Having a custom UI with the option to use a custom vanilla Android is the perfect place for me. But as I said, right now I have no reason to go vanilla.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
5X = 32gig no sd

G4 = sd

I can't live with 32gig so G4 fills all my needs. Stock too.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZDJedi:
Thanks for the input guy! I'm glad to hear that the G4 won't have much ROM support for some time--not that I'm glad for the *lack* of support, I'm just happy that I was informed of this *before* I made my purchase lol. There are some things that vanilla doesn't seem to offer me. Some features are not needed (pie and other recent/quick access features, and others I can't even think of cos I never turn them on in my current ROM lol); however, the ability to alter the power menu, the ability to add custom hardware keys (mainly for flashlight; if not a hardware key, then at least a toggle in the tray, or in the power menu), status bar changes (clock, color, battery % in numbers, double-tap for screen off), led control, etc (perhaps all these can be altered with apps or via Xposed. [MENTION=275445]onet[/MENTION]welve You said above there could be problems with Xposed because there's no recovery. You mean TWRP recovery? You can't mean that, so I'm confused :s).

The lack of camera support would suck. I am by no means a photographer; the main thing I use my camera for are taking random photos and also taking quick snapshots that require a fast-focus to be achieved. It's frustrating when camera apps don't work properly. I think pretty much every camera is going to be good enough for my purposes. 21MP vs 16MP = whoopdeedoo.

SD card support is not a concern for me. I've lived with 16GB for years and it's almost never been a problem unless I record a bunch of videos before I get home. I don't put music on my device (only audiobooks). Getting a 32GB internal memory phone would be like landing in a pot of gold haha!

My buddy has been nagging me to get an iPhone 6 and jailbreak it--he says I'll never turn back...but I'm not sure, I love Android and don't really wanna learn a whole new interface.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
There is no custom recovery as in there is none for the G4 variant you most likely will be getting in Canada, as of now. However, there are reports of an unofficial Bootloader unlock method coming for many variants of the G4. It's important to note that in this case you must not take OTA updates or the unofficial unlock method won't work. Anyway, no need to get into detail much.

There's no need for a custom recovery since flash fire is enough to get xposed working.

Btw. Is that a Rick & Morty reference?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZDJedi:
Cool, thanks for the info. So it seems even the G4 won't suffice for me :(...guess I'll wait for the X5 and see what happens there. I doubt Telus will carry it so I'll have to buy it outright. Support for that is going to be active and functional?

Never watched Rick & Morty...which did you think I was referencing?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
I guess you mean the 5X? In this case, yes, you can expect the great minds of XDA to develop for this device and since the 5X is relatively cheap and people tending towards mid-high-range devices, you can expect a big fellowship in the 5X development section and forum in general.

Nvm, I was referring to the "whoopdeedoo". Realized that "whoopdeedoo" is a very common saying. Just binge-finished Rick & Morty but somehow my brain is still processing the information.

EDIT: A Rick & Morty reference would be like, uh, like "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub", or "Get shwifty" or how much "Schmeckles" does the Moto X cost and so forth. Wait, what?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Yes, it certainly pays to do your research before you dive in.

am not too knowledgable on the xposed side of things. it was an interaction i had with someone on youtube and they said if you do not have access to kdz, then in case of a boot loop you would not be able to recover. since you're in canada and the carriers there are no better than us carriers, xposed might not be an option unless you REALLY know what you're doing. There's these TOT's instead so somebody more knowledgeable can answer.

yeah, vendors keep cameras very close to their chest. Only stock based roms will preserve camera or lets say are more certain to preserve it.

other stuff is going to be buggy or not work too well. this is down to developers so you end up using 3rd party cameras but its not the same as stock when it comes to cameras.

The cameras on the nexii are pretty good from what i've heard. But I would contend that the lack of OIS is an egregious omission when the last two nexii had it. Maddening! why go to the trouble to develop such a good camera and leave it out (!!!)

This means you will have to have a good handhold to avoid blur or camera shake indoors or in low light. But if the light is enough i think you will be happy with the nexus cameras. They really have come a long way since the Nexus 4. In good light i would not be surprised to see them rivaling the S6/G4 in terms of preservation of details. They are that good. But unfortunately thats it.

Btw the nexii are 12MP shooters. Don't let the mega pickles bother you just check out the photos at the pixel level and see for yourself.

thought the whole point of getting an iphone is that there is no need to do jailbreaking. not nowadays anyway. why would you want to jailbreak ios9 ?

MODS,

I have the oc6 files for the sm n910a is it ok to post a drop box link for people to get it that need it??

I dont want to do anything to get banned.. so I want to ask before I do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I'm not a mod, but this is ok as long as the link doesn't go to a website that potentially contains a virus or adware, or takes people through those ad sites that generate money for the poster. Dropbox isn't one of the sites just mentioned, so you're good.

Yes you can, but these aren't for 5.1.1. They're for 5.0.1 update that came just before it.

Btw, I saw your post in the 5.1.1 update thread. It MAY take a couple months before an Odin file for that update comes out.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dax702:
I have a NookHD+ that I'm setting up for a musician to use to play MIDI files with an app that uses a soundfont. This is the only thing the tablet will be used for. What are your suggestions for the most lightweight, fast ROM available without all the crap running in the background to slow it down?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztid_:
My vote is for Jon Lee's CM10.1/10.2 Yellow Kernel:

10.1: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61004989&postcount=351

10.2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61884402&postcount=438

Please note: "[10.1] Can be installed with any desired combination of ext4/f2fs filesystems. (unlike 10.2, which requires ext4 system and f2fs data & cache)."

To change to F2FS (full wipe when changing Filesystems), you can use TWRP from here: https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778

If you have data you want to back up, you can make a backup using TWRP, change the filesystem, and then restore. Please note, that I don't think a normal backup will copy your internal storage (sdcard0), so you might want to manually back that up.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strigas:
I was actually coming on here to try and find a thread with this exact info lol. Anyone else have any suggestions on their prefered rom in order to make the nook hd+ run as fast as possible and reduce lag. After posting this I'm going to go and try and search for a thread that I read a while back that was about changing the resolution and the launcher to speed the nook back up and see if that ends up helping out more than a rom change would. Hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving!

[T-Mobile LG G4] benjihana:
So here's my issue:

Fully paid EIP

Running MicroMod777's xTreme Stock Debloated ROM

TMobile says no unlock code available, use the app

App says This device is not compatible.

Help!

Won't work. I've fully backed up in TWRP, installed a ROOTED stock ROM (with all the bloat), and the app worked and did a permanent unlock. Then I restored my backup, yet I'm not sure if it's unlocked or not. It seems like it is still locked as the APNs are locked, so I'm not sure.

I've tried modified the device name on the build.prop, but that didn't work, so now I'm replacing the entire build.prop on the device with the one from the rooted stock ROM to see if the app does a build.prop check. If that doesn't work, I'm going to move to device settings, but I know it works on a rooted device.

Any thoughts/advice?

Update: The old build.prop softbricked my device. Any idea why? There aren't but a few modifications to the new build.prop. DPI, split screen, some multi user stuff - maybe six lines. Ugh.
[T-Mobile LG G4] prp2:
Some thoughts:

The "debloat" removed some apps or files that T-Mobile's Device Unlock app needs to be there to verify your device.

If your stock ROM then said unlock was successful, try another SIM card in it. That's all the unlock does, let you use non-Tmo SIM cards in it. The APNs have absolutely nothing to do with it.

The htc m9 has been "living" with me for almost a week now and I have a few noticeable problems. First of all, the charging time does take a significant time. Like a whooping 6 hours or a bit more. Well, that's a bit too much. Changed charger and socket still the same. Haven't tried the original charger yet. Planning on to. The firmware is the 2.10.something.something. and the other thing is a small thing that kinda bugs me. The charging estimate time doesnt appear. Any way to make it appear?

After flashed Android 6.0 I noticed worse battery life than with 5.1.1

Looking for a culprit I noticed in the battery status chart that wifi is always on. It is a solid line with no interruptions anywhere.

This did not happen before. Thinking about a bad app, I factory reset the tablet and did not install any third-party app.

Even in this pristine conditions wifi is always on.

Do you have the same problem?

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
I definitely do not have the problem. In fact I have the opposite problem. I used to have twitter setup on my tablet (just for news sites like AP, etc.) and then used pushbullet to notify me on my PC/other devices. Since I flashed 6.0 once it goes into doze I stop getting those notifications until I turn it on again.

Last night I put the tablet down around 1am at 86% and this morning at 7:30am it was at 84%

I read over on the Nexus 5 forum that there was a wifi always on scanning bug going around that people with curing by disabling WiFi scanning under location services. I'm happy to say, after flashing fresh factory images, my 9 and 5 are working flawlessly. Like someone posted above, both of my devices left all night and half the next day only knocked a few percent off the battery. I usually charge my Nexus 5 halfway through the day, but yesterday I did not and had 40% when I put it on charge going to bed. My wife took the OTA as opposed to flashing fresh on her Nexus 5, but she has had no issues either.

I'm loving this update on both of my devices so far. The animations are so much smoother.

Actually after the first day or so it got much better. They are still delayed but if thats the tradeoff for the insane standby time I'm ok with it.

Screen on time: 1h 17m

I use my tablet to cast shows and did some light browsing/PDF reading (trying to figure out how to get my son to sleep :p) so thats why the low SOT. Normally probably without even touching the tablet I'd already be sub 50%

I believe the WiFi always on showing under battery life is a bug. My n6 is the same way. Recently went on a trip with no access to WiFi. Turned WiFi off but yet it still shows it's always on under battery. I don't notice any additional battery usage so I assume it is just a bug and hopefully will be fixed in the next update.

Is there way to trick Android to think that USB camera is internal? I mean to make camera apps to work with USB camera. I know that there are dedicated apps that work with USB cameras.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GameX2:
Hi,

I have experience with the Canadian S4 I337M, currently running custom Validus ROM 5.1.1, originally was on TouchWiz 4.4.2;

I have altough a question that seems quite.. debated, did looked around I can't find a definitive answer and know who I should trust. I wonder if options changed in 2015 rather than 2013 when KNOX was still new.

Out of simple curiosity (I will not attempt it, risky, probably useless and I'm running 5.1.1 anyway): I keep reading that it's impossible to downgrade the S4 to 4.2.2, due to the KNOX bootloader on 4.3 / 4.4, I understand that you cannot downgrade below 4.3 which is the "new" KNOX bootloader.

1. I'm simply curious: On the I337M, what happens if you grab the stock 4.2.2 firmware and flash it with Odin anyway, considering I'm on 4.4 ? My guess, if I'm correct, Odin detect the bootloader version right away and says "FAIL". Correct?

2. I used to think it was possible to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3, since 4.3 has the KNOX bootloader as well. Is this possible anyway, or will Odin fail (Not going to try it, not worth it)? Considering what I've read just today, 4.4 is also a new bootloader. In any case, since that 4.4 bootloader cannot be downgraded (I guess?), there is no way to downgrade from 4.4 to stock 4.3 either? Odin will show "FAIL" ?

3. Is there any other way to downgrade it anyway? I understand that KNOX 0x1 remain irreversible yet, and to my knowledge, it's impossible to dowgrade to 4.2.2 (Or even 4.3?), but I've been reading that it was possible to downgrade if the bootloader is excluded from the TAR archive, make sense to me, but is that true, was that patched? Should I recompile an ODIN package excluding the bootloader, is that how it's done (Too dangerous, not trying it)? Or maybe by using Mobile Odin / FlashFire, downgrading from 4.4 to 4.3 / 4.2 can be acheived, if the bootloader is left untouched? What happens if we try it anyways? Odin fail, or device does boot but doesn't get past Samsung boot logo?

I'm just wondering, and quite confused by the different opinions that were shared. Remember this is for the Canadian I337M variant.

Thanks for confirming, appreciate!

If I were to right now get the Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T ( http://www.att.com/cellphones/samsung/galaxy-s-5.html#sku=sku7120234 ), is it known whether it will have a rootable version or not?

If I am unable to root the phone and keep it rooted, I'll most likely have to go with another phone. (Which would be a shame.)

I've read up some on the situation, and it seems as long as it is version 4.4.4 I would be fine.

And I would be able to update while keeping root if I follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3149146

So, I suppose the real question is how sure is it that you'll get the 4.4.4 (rootable) version of android?

And are there any downsides to doing so right now?

(I have a rooted phone now: An HTC First. The failed "Facebook" phone. It was very easy to root and receives no updates, so it's been hassle free, but it'd be nice to finally update.)

I'm not sure if you are buying direct from AT&T or not, but I think it's been confirmed that they have only been selling S5s with 5.0 on them out of the box.

If root is a deal breaker I suggest not getting the GS5 unless you are positive that you can get one with KitKat out of the box.

That being said...I have an unrootable one on AT&T that I got free for extending my contract; and I found that their 5.0 build for this phone is probably the most stable phone I've ever had on AT&T ever. Besides the battery and back cover nag alerts and not being able to save Amazon video to the SD card...I have no other complaints re: not having root. But even when I had devices that were rooted...they were stock-rooted. As always...YMMV.
