[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] StuttgartKiwi:
Unfortunately even that site doesn't have the KDZ anymore. When I try to download the V50030b_00.kdz file from there, I just get "Requested file unavailable". However, I've now got a copy of this file from [MENTION=4810659]ze7zez[/MENTION] so it's all good. Thanks so much for your help in trying to find the file for me!

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

Thanks so much for sharing the KDZ file with me! That's exactly what I needed. I've just downloaded it and successfully flashed it to my G Pad, and now I've got Android 5.0.2 and everything is running fine so far. I'm a happy chappy! :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tichyijon:
Hello, I'd like to ask if I got the things right from reading the thread:

1) V50030b_00.kdz - I've got this file from the above link - I believe it is the official 5.0 ROM from LG,

so all the features should be working fine.

2) I've got the G Pad model version V50020f which is on 4.4.2, stock, no root (NOT a GPE version).

Does it matter if it is a GPE or not?

3) I'm not sure I fully understand the meaning of 20f, 30b and other suffixes - it looks as they

are for different languages. I will need English and Russian - would V50030b have them?

4) If I use .kdz file, I need to use LGFlashTool rather than TWRP. I found two tools of that

name - LGFlashTool2014.zip and Setup_LGFlashTool_2.0.2.5.zip - which is the right one?

5) I can go back to stock ROM if things go wrong (if I have the ROM itself, of course, did not

find it yet)

Thanks a lot for help!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
I will not advise you because I have not come to the decision to upgrade to version 5.0.2, which is not well suited for the V500.

Accessibility has been limited to one region, which gives food for thought.

The enthusiasm of those who switched to lolipop in the V500 ends with the fact that they passed.

There are not many

reliable assessments

of how the LP works on the V500,

but there are many requests for help how to get back to KitKat. ;)

Think carefully before you make up your mind.

The AOSP built by Adriano Martins runs smoothly and stably in my V500 and that's enough for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tichyijon:
Thanks for the warning :) Actually, the main reason I wanted to upgrade was to enable the option to run apps from

SD card. I was reading somewhere that 5.x fixed this for V500. Probably it's time to upgrade the device itself, but

I really cannot find one with such a great combination of convenient size, resolution and power (and IR, which itself

is worth a million)

Will be reading the thread on AOSP now, thanks!

Hi,

What is the best camera app to improve performance? Or is it better to stick with stock?

I find the camera quite frustrating even compared to the google camera - but I don't really want to miss out on any of the built in features, like slow motion recording.

Thanks!

Sometimes it hack of nut job if don't have faster internet connection or file manger to install your favorite apps or bit headache to install every time you flash stock rom or custom distally specially on stock in which not having a file manger or gallery app or even build in video player dissent l doesn't support all media types in marshmallow or outdated whatsapp that after installing stock asks you to update it :@

How to get it work ??

Just simply copy in root file manger or es file explorer every desirable app ( for me MX player for videos ; es explorer and a costom gallery app not having in marshmallow :( )

And then open

Root/OEM/app

Then it paste it there

Boom now get those pre installed on all ROMs and OTA'S

P.S

Paste the latest version of whatsapp and after installing the ROM no more updating to use it ;)

Bonus

Copy your fav Wallpaper and rename it to " default_wallpaper" and paste it to

Root/OEM/media/

Same goes for notification and ringtone ;)

Just rename yours to the file name given in

"Ringtone" and "Notification" folder and paste it there to replace the stock ;)

Hit thanks if u like it :)[emoji13]

I have a problem,so very need yourhelp

I have a T-mobile AMEO with WM5.0 rom,I like upgrade to HTC VM6 Rom.That was stupid when I tried the HTC VM6 Rom flash without CID unlock.

My Ameo can not accept the HTC VM6 ROM ( only 0%$ or 1% of Upgrading),reported error massage"Vender ID" it over and is stuck in Bootloader with 3 color of the screen . Hard reset does not start the normal "installation"

I have tried intalling 3 Ship romWM5.0:

But my Ameo still die,Now I understand my Ameo is not unlocked/superCid, I am very sad of my stupiding, I very need yourhelps to unlocking CID or other ways for my AMEO.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] EricBr:

Hi everybody.

I flashed Android 6.0 to my Nexus5 and rooted it with NRT.

Sadly i can't copy a new hosts file to /system/etc because there is to less space.

df shows in fact just 4k of free space.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defoc:
Can I set a symlink for hosts to the /data-partition for example?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
A good hosts file should not exceed 3Mb. Can't you free up space by moving some of your system apps to the data partition?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatThief:
You can uninstall some of the system apps you never use. Removing Keep, Drive, and Android Pay did the trick for me. After rebooting it freed up about 28MB.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jburdick7:
Hi all,

Since the price of the Nexus player has dropped considerably, I'm thinking I may get one + a HD Homerun prime for my father for Christmas, but I have a few questions. I already have a Nvidia Shield TV, so I know how Android TV works and it's limitations. The only thing I haven't done is use the live TV apps for watching TV on it.

Is watching TV on it using a HD Homerun prime pretty painless once configured? I should note that we live in Oregon and the cable provider here is Comcast. In terms of channels, he really doesn't watch much (mostly Fox News, ESPN, HBO, and local channels). The big one that is a MUST though is Pac-12 network - my sister plays softball for the University of Washington and Pac-12 network is necessary to watch all the games we can't make it to. My understanding is that DRM channels won't work with the live TV app - is there any other way to view them on the device? I should also note that DVR functionality isn't a must have feature if it's a pain to get it working.

I'm not worried about it being too tech heavy for my dad to use - he's already got Ethernet running throughout the house (this device would be connected via Ethernet) and has done OTA TV before using Windows Media Center & my Xbox 360. However, if it isn't more seamless to browse and watch TV on than his cablebox, I'm not sure he'll actually want to make the change.

If you paid out right for the phone and are not under contract you need to call AT&T and they will give you the unlock code. Otherwise if you just purchased it, you should return it and just buy it off of Amazon if you really want this phone.

[YotaPhone] zute333:
Hi guys,

This thread is for speculation and discussion mostly. I'm wondering what the likelihood of us getting any significant android updates in the future is? Yota seems to have gone pretty quiet as regards the 2. It's pretty likely their focussing their limited resources on the Yota 3. I would say it's pretty certain that that will come out running marshmallow so it should be feasible that mm comes to the Yota 2 as well.

I'm also wondering about the 3. If it comes out with better relative specs than last time then I'm going to consider it seriously; if it's to the yota 2 what the yota 2 was to the 1 then it should be a pretty good phone.

Lastly is there any chance of some custom ROM development for this phone? Tempted to look into it myself but won't be able to for a while due to life schedule and whatnot. Could CM be ported? What features do we think we could add? Is it just too much work due to the second screen or is a custom version of the stock ROM possible?

Hope there's still some decent attention going to this. Shame about the US launch being cancelled, we could have done with the recruits :P.
[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:
After the US failure, I thought they would abandon YP2 pretty soon too, but they're are least still developing 5.0 further, so I think there will a nice 5.0 update soon. They have a version lined up with some candy in it: double tap to wake, new widgets, and some other stuff I can't remember. Battery life seems OK-ish too. They pathed stagefright and stagefright 2.0 bugs as well, and include a google android (security) patch level reference in the about screen.

I don't know about 5.1 or 6.0, but I think their US marketing manager has said in the past they've been testing 5.1 at least.

About custom firmware: I have made some small steps in the past (initially targetting AOSP 5.0) but I nor others have invested enough time in it to grow it into a complete firmware. Once AOSP would build nicely, CM is not that far away.

Full EPD functionality is something else though. It's been discussed before: The low-level EPD driver stuff (to draw stuff on the backscreen) is included in the kernel sources that Yota released last may, and so it would be available in a custom firmware as well. However it would not be usable by anything but custom built apps (not the current apps/widgets), that would access the EPD interface directly. The framework adaptions and SDK support that Yota did (screen mirroring, backscreen manager service to display widgets and covers etc) is not open source, so it cannot easily be ported. It might run as-is on a 5.0 custom ROM, but not likely on 5.1 or 6.0. So on top of creating a Custom ROM, there would need to be designing and coding effort to make the EPD actually usable. With the current level of interest from devs chances are pretty slim. Maybe a bounty system might work if there are enough people interested in contributing, but looking at the level activity in the Yotaphone subforum, I doubt that enough people are interested to make it worthwhile. (Or do we have a rich Russian Oil Company mogul in our midst ;) ?

Anyway, I expect a Yota firmware update pretty soon with some nice improvements, still remaining at lollipop 5.0 though.

Edit: forgot to mention that I'm having trouble installing Xposed with newer versions, can't get it to work, hangs at boot animation. So if you're attached to Xposed, be careful when upgrading once the new firmware becomes available.

LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 update

I just got an OTA system update request on my phone for downloading version LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 today. I have not installed it yet, because my phone is rooted and I'm hoping someone else will take the plunge and report results before I try. (I'd hate to lose root entirely.) ;)

I checked the official firmware repository (ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/) and this version hasn't appeared there yet. There seems to be a similar new one for the APC region though. (Incidentally, I'm in the US, but I bought the phone online and apparently it was HK region. Works fine for me, so I don't care.)

I took screenshots and stitched them together so I could share the complete update description. I apologize for the ridiculously large image, but I didn't want to have to type all this stuff up, and I wasn't aware of a way to copy and paste it as text.

[IMG="LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 update details"]http://michaeladcock.info/temp/LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66.png[/IMG]

I was considering downloading it, but I'm not sure if I can do that and not have it auto-update once the download is finished. If I could get the file, I'd be happy to post it somewhere online if it would be useful. I've got ES File Explorer and root, and I assume it will be stored in /cache, but I don't want to risk updating right now.
[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:

Nice that they included a releasenotes, I have the impression that not everything is in there (like selecting a background photo for yotahub panels). It's nice to see that they're still improving on YP2 firmware.

I tested a version close to this one (but for another region) and it had a bad bug in the touchscreen functionality: when holding the phone (and thereby touching the backscreen) the front screen would not register taps or gestures correctly anymore. Not saying that this version has that bug too, but it might be worth testing this. Yota's got versions beyond 1.66 already, which include double tap to wake (and double tap to open specific apps on the backscreen while locked)

With TWRP you can backup your phone (including system, boot and data) and try the new firmware out. You can easily restore the backup if not satisfied, you'll be on your previous version again, including root.

There's a good chance that your firmware update will fail if you're rooted (as the original files on /system are different than expected by the update). So you should probably unroot, then update, then root again by flashing supersu through (TWRP) recovery.

The firmware file you might be able to capture is probably of limited use as it will likely be an incremental update from your specific previous version to 1.66.

So, backup first then try it out!
[YotaPhone] MichaelA:
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to set aside some time this weekend and do a backup/update. Once I do, I'll post my findings here. Hopefully this update doesn't have that touchscreen bug you mentioned. I haven't had any major problems with my phone on the current version, but I'm curious to try what the update has to offer.

I hadn't thought about TWRP for rolling back. I never flashed it directly to the device, but I assume I can still do it by booting up as described in the post on here. And even if rooting somehow changed or was locked down, I'm assuming I can still boot the TWRP image and re-flash my backup. My bootloader is unlocked, and I assume will stay that way.
[YotaPhone] SteadyQuad:
Your bootloader status and TWRP recovery should be fine by this update, haven't seen attempts to mess with any of that with recent firmwares.

Flashify is for rooted devices. You don't need to use dev ROMs! You can root your mi4c even if you're on a stable ROM.

Please stop misleading unskilled users who think rooting mi4c requires flashing a dev ROM!!
