[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wastl0r:
It's the 'General' section so it's OK to post things like that here, I guess.

But to be honest... The title of this thread could have been more professional :eek:

I came from a Nexus 5, which I dropped unfortunately... So I was kind of forced to buy the G4 a few weeks ago.

I'm quite satisfied with the whole package. The community support could be better (Maybe I'm spoiled by my 2 years Nexus experience?!)

But I think we have one of the best phones on the market and the community is growing!

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolaceKane:
issues that irk me at the moment

-battery life is horrid even with mods

-heats up a bit and like someone stated above thats not ven when youre playing games.(also flashed heat mod)

-on screen buttons which is my biggest peeve, i dont understand why people love them and they are the norm, they take up screen real estate. i constantly accidently hit them all the time when im doing things in apps. its just my personal experience but in general a clusterFuk for me.

other than that I love everything else.

How much sot/screen time do you get ?

Are you on data ? on wifi ? mix

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Does a reboot improve anything ?

There is no overheating, if it overheats then the device will shut down. SOP on Android.

You have some processes that generating heat. if you're shooting 4k this will happen.

If screen brightness is on max and you're doing something intensive it will happen.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyogiro:
[MENTION=5512893]One Twelve[/MENTION] I wouldn't count using Tapatalk as intensive task. Screen brightness level is usually around 40-70%.

The workaround that I use is using power saving mode but the display is dimmer. It is far from ideal, but this way, I can easily last the day without having my battery being drained by the the two cortex A57.

I believe battery life depends on what phone u came from. It's will be seem as good battery if u came from s4 but bad if u come from note 4/5.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic118:
Kinda the same here. Love the hardware, not a fan of the software. CM12 is coming along very well, though, and as soon as Bluetooth is fixed (so I can use my Moto 360), I'll be moving to that as my daily driver. From limited use, it seems very stable!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash8915:
One major issue I ran into recently was constant power cycling. Even after 3 factory resets, it would power cycle non-stop. I ended up having to get it replaced.

Strangely enough, my friend's G4 started doing the same thing on the exact same day as mine. Both Verizon variants.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scote:
I dont get alot of the comments here. I have great battery life especially on standby. Software wise g4 has less bloatware than samsung and i accredidate that to the good performance and lag free experience when the processor is one gen behind current flagships. The form factor in the hand is good too curved back and back buttons are great and took me no time to get used to coming from samsung. If i have a gripe it could be the touchscreen responsiveness butits nowhere near as bad as some people make out.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daab521:
I would apreciate a lot if someone could explain or give me a link for a way to safely root my G928F Galaxy S6 Edge+ LDU version, I want to clean the bloatware and see if I can go further and install a custom rom, but I can't find information on how to do it on a LDU version.

Here's the info of my current rom:

Android 5.1.1

G928FXXU1AOH4

I believe the problem is that LDU rom has some files removed from it, because LDU don't have radio (antenna) and if you install the full rom with odin the phone bricks.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry if I'm in the wrong section, if so please tell me where I can ask this question.

I've found the way to root and install a custom ROM to my G928F Galaxy S6 Edge+ LDU version, be sure your phone is G928F version, please don't blame me if it doesn't work on your phone.

-First follow this tutorial:

Be sure to do a backup after installing the custom recovery, (save the backup to your pc to free your phone's memory), you'll end up rooted but without soft keys, so then you need to do the next step.

-Then install this ROM with Recovery (choose the option: wipe / clean to install a new ROM):

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xflbret:
While cleaning the garage, I found my wife's old nook BNTV250. She said I could have it. So, I've been trying to get a custom rom on there.

I have experience with custom roms. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Philz and Lollipop as well as a Note 10.1 running TWRP and Kitkat. So, I have experience with successfully installing recoveries and flashing custom roms to devices.

This one isn't as easy for some reason.

I can get a rooted stock rom by following the directions here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZyfWpBJpiE

but no matter what I try, I can't get any further than that.

When I tried to sign in with the google play store, I am told my password is bad (which it isn't). Then I get an email from google in my gmail account telling me that someone (which was me) has tried to sign in to my account but was denied because the device they were using is way too old. So, getting anything on to my device via the play store that I need, such as a terminal emulator, TWRP install, etc, is apparently out of the questions.

gapps won't flash without errors, so that is out of the question, too.

the included es file explorer won't see the internal SD card for a reason I haven't been able to figure out (yes, it has root access), so copying apk files over and installing them from there is out.

When I boot off of ann sd card, and attempt to flash custom recoveries from the internal storage, I am also unsuccessful. With TWRP, I get errors. With CWM, it says it was successful, but it isn't.

So, every road I go down to get CM on this thing is blocked.

Am I missing something, or did I just miss my window by not doing this two years ago?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Try:

1. A factory reset

2. The instructions here---they worked for me as a noob.

That could leave you with CM 10.2. If you'd like something higher, this post might send you in the right direction after you succeed with CM 10.x, but it does become more complicated. Or you can just try to get there directly.

It can't be too late:fingers-crossed: There's life in that tablet yet!

Edit: I see that the CM 10.2 build is no longer posted over at Cyanogenmod. If you want to try it, let me know. I have the zip file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xflbret:
Sorry, I haven't posted my update yet. I managed to find a solution to the problem with the included es file explorer. That allowed me to install some apk's like terminal emulator which allowed me to get TWRP on, and then the figurative flood gates were open from there.

I am disappointed. I flashed both liquid smooth kitkat, and a lollipop build. Neither are very responsive, and both seem to have great difficulties awakening from a sleeping state (the lollipop one was worse). I looked around, but couldn't find a kernel to flash. Is there a kernel we should be using to speed up these roms? If not, I think I will give up because I stand stand the slowness.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
I read through some CM11 threads and was amazed at the different experiences people had, ranging from "works great" to "really sluggish". Speaking only from a logical perspective it seems to me that the more advanced OS you try to shoe-horn into an older device, the more likely you will exhaust (or at least severely task) its hardware resources. Like trying to install Windows 10 on a machine designed for XP with hardware that just barely meets the minimum requirements of Win 10.

All I can say is that CM 10.2 works "great" on my NT. I've yet to encounter an app that I wanted which would not run (of course, my wants may not match yours). I can read the newspaper, listen to music, Kodi runs great--I can even stream a video from the NT to my TV (which has an old laptop connected) using VLCDirect. So lots of life in the thing from my perspective. CM 10.2 does get cranky once in awhile, but a reboot sorts that out. I expect many newer tablets are the same in that respect.

Let me know if you change your mind and want to try CM10.2
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xflbret:
You talked me into it. I'll give 10.2 a shot. I'm assuming that's based on Jellybean. I think every app I want to use will still work on Jellybean.

Any recommended builds? Any recommended gapps?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
I finally located the 10.x downloads here. I'm using the last stable build, 10.2.1 (Android equivalent 4.3.1). You should use the gapps package that is listed for 10.2 build here.

Like I said in an earlier post, I followed the excellent directions from digixmax here and while the initial boot was kind of confusing, things did sort themselves out. But that method assumes you are starting from stock. If you can't get back to there you'll need to try something else.

Once in a blue moon some app in the PlayStore will be listed as incompatible, I guess because Google can't quite figure out what to make of these modded tablets, even though the Android version is well within reach of CM 10.2. That happened recently to me with my local newspaper app. I just used this site to download the app outside the PlayStore and then side-loaded it. It installed and works just fine.

Good luck! I hope this all works to your satisfaction :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xflbret:
Well, I installed CM 10.2. Everything works, albiet VERY slowly. I'm going to go google for a kernel now so I can do some overclocking. If I can't find one, then I'm afraid I'll have to let this go. It is just too slow and unresponsive the way it is to be productive.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Sorry it didn't work out well for you. It's obvious to say, but either there is a hardware issue or something did not go right in the flashing. Otherwise no one would bother with these things.

You've probably already looked at this, but just in case, under Settings/Performance/Processor I show a resting CPU freq. of 300 MHz, the governor set at "interactive, and a max. CPU freq. of 1008 MHz. Theoretically you could try playing with those if you have the same figures, but I'm not sure where that would take you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xflbret:
The only custom kernel I could find for this was for KitKat, so I reflashed with that. I clocked both the minimum and the maximum to 1200 MHz. Even at that, my Antutu benchmarks score was just under 14k, or less than half of the score for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I never got "great" results with this device so far, but the KK with the custom kernel is the best I have got so far. I'm tempted to try this KK kernel with the lollipop build to see what happens. If I do that, I'll report my results.

This device is over four years old now. Add to this that, at the time, it wasn't exactly designed to break any speed records. All it was intended to do is read ebooks, and play a few other select apps. No GPS, no bluetooth. I guess asking it to run today's resource intense apps like Facebook may be asking too much of it. But, for some weird reason, I can't let this go now. It is kind of like an electronic pet to me. I keep it by my easy chair, and I pick it up and start doing something with it quite often.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Yeah, I was just getting ready to point you toward the kernal for CM 11 but you got there without my direction.

It's really puzzling to me that your system seems so slow. Maybe mine is too! I've never owned a tablet before (I don't count my much-modded NST e-ink reader!) and this one running CM 10.2 seems just fine to me, certainly no worse than laptops I often work with. I have an inexpensive LG smartphone I just bought to use as an mp3 player after my much-loved Insignia Pilot finally died. It runs KitKat and seems about as responsive as my Nook Tablet, maybe slightly better, so I guess a lot is what we are used to.

Hi i was wondering if the I-Mate Jam housing could be replaced with the Dopod 828 housing, since they are essentially the same device. My current Jam casing is in pretty bad condition and i wanted to change the housing, and i like the 828 housing better then the Jam's. I know it can be done, but theres is an issue with the metal IMEI plate, i just needed help in that matter, what needs to be modified so the jam fits into the housing. If someone could point me in the right direction it will be really helpful.

I just found this site, which downloads an apk from the Google Play Store, pretty straightforward. I can recommend it, though sometimes it fails to dowload a thing, but then you can leave a comment, and it will get emailed to you later.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Ditto on this. I've used it for my Nook Tablet, too, since it runs CM 10.2 but the Play Store can't figure out that it's not running Android 2.3 or something. A simple way to try things that *might* just work.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knjepr:
Hello everyone,

I have a little problem with TWRP on my LG G3 (D855, 32 GB).

I installed TWRP two months ago and flashed CyanogenMod 12.1.

Now I've noticed that TWRP (2.8.6.0) shows the Internal Storage with 0MB.

When I tap the middle Icon on the bottom of the TWRP Main screen, I get an (maybe helpful?) output:

E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E: Unable to mount storage
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Full SELinux support is present.
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
MTP Enabled

I'm a bit confused. Could this be, because I used CyanogenMod's Device Encryption?

I'm planning on reverting to Stock Rom (...i quite liked it. And considering the camera quality, CM isn't really any better), but i fear this (or flashing anything different) could brick my phone, since there seems to be something strange.

Is there any way to debug or even fix this?

Is it safe to revert to Stock, when TWRP doesn't even detect the Internal Storage? (following this Guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089)

I'd be glad about any help oder hint, about how to proceed. Thanks in advance!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
First, update your TWRP version to 2.8.7.0 (available here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129 )

Then, boot into TWRP, go to Wipe and choose "Format Data".

After done that, reboot your device into recovery again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knjepr:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firelord70:
It happens often to me when I upgrade.

I use 3 phones: Xperia Z2, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S2 and when I've updated to Lollipop it happened all three times.

Recently I noticed that also on the S2 happened this and I suppose it's because partitions are not initialized.

I was unable to write to internal partition (0 MB) and I've solve this way:

I've flashed CyanogenMod, mounted the internal memory as flashdrive under windows and simply formated it.

When I've disconnected the phone from the pc, Android was able to write normally to the internal storage and everything worked like a charm.

I know it's not possible (AFAIK) to mount internal memory on stock roms as Mass Storage, but perhaps someone will point you on how to correctly fix partitions without using my method.

Firmware full & PIT file N9200 (TGY) Hong Kong available: http://dl.samfirm.net/post/136152063077/full-galaxy-note-5-n9200-n9200zhu2aokatgy

Note5 N9200 version of China (CHC) removed the Google services, and some features are limited to China. Conversely Hong Kong (TGY) version not encountered that problem and it's almost like an international firmware! The flash a N9200 Hong Kong(TGY) firmware for N9200 China(CHC) until now was not so successful without a PAC firmware (Rom full) & PIT file Hong Kong version (TGY).

I had a N9200 Hong Kong device, I Root and extract PIT files from this device. But it can not flash it back device by Odin, I extracted it with dd command (need root) and flash it back devices with dd command only!

So my idea is that we will root the device and flash file PIT Hong Kong (TGY) using the dd command, then can flash Hong Kong normal firmware via Odin without Pac firmware (Rom full).

Step 1: Root

SpaceX Pure Edition v1.0.0 - N9200

Step 2: Flash PIT file Hong Kong(TGY)

- Download & Copy N9200_HK.pit file to your Note5

- Flash "N9200_HK.pit":

Via adb:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/N9200_HK.pit bs=4096 seek=6 count=2 of=/dev/block/sda

Via Terminal:

su
dd if=/sdcard/N9200_HK.pit bs=4096 seek=6 count=2 of=/dev/block/sda

Step 3 - Final: Download N9200 Hong Kong(TGY) firmware & flash via Odin

Downlaod N9200 Hong Kong(TGY) firmware on Sammobile.com or Samsung-updates.com,...

N9200ZHU1AOI1(TGY) - Google Drive:

- Unzip

- Flash tar.md5 file via Odin 3.10.7 in [AP]

- Done

[*] If have logo stuck or bootloop, flash the SpaceX kernel in step 1 or into Recovery and wipe data/factory reset!

If you understand this idea, you can apply it for other devices! just use the appropriate file and command for each device

dd command to extract and flash PIT files from Exynos 7420 devices (S6, S6e, S6e+, Note5)

Extract

dd if=/dev/block/sda bs=4096 skip=6 count=2 of=/sdcard/file_name.pit

Flash

dd if=/sdcard/file_name.pit bs=4096 seek=6 count=2 of=/dev/block/sda

[General Topics] retroben:
I recently checked the adobe flash page and it now shows on the Linux section,the PPAPI version of flash player.

In this situation,I think it should be VERY possible to make PPAPI Flash Player available to Android since it can utilize the dual/quad cores to increase the performance and make the sandboxed environment run smoother,and thus achieve better performance than the extremely outdated Android flash player.

(Adobe AIR sucks because of no browser integration and no Actionscript 2 support)

This would also make flash player content accessible in Chrome for Android and other Chromium based browsers.

Otherwise,maybe someone can talk Chromium devs into getting PPAPI flash player working on Android in a custom build such as the CAF build designed to be optimized for Qualcomm Snapdragon devices.

They done it with Linux after all this time,why not release PPAPI flash player for Android as well?
[General Topics] retroben:
Chromium can be built with plugin access on Android?

BUMP

Has anyone made a custom Chromium build apk with the plugins enabled flag?

Its been possible since 2013 apparently. :silly:

It would be the solution for ShieldTV being ruined yet again by trashing Flash Player access by causing apps to crash upon attempting to load any Flash/swf content.

Better,yet a stand-alone flash player that somehow uses the ppapi plugin to allow playing offline content with ease.

I was given a couple of links by someone form here before...

I'm not tech savvy with building and compiling stuff so I hope someone can help by making a custom Chromium build available for easier Flash Player access with a safer touch via its sandboxing function.
