[MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] im another user that would like to have optional Gapps installation. Please make it so!

Well it's not like g3tweakbox is updated so often, also consider that most of the mods are in the xposed module "gravitybox" so there's that ?

I do use K9 mail, i think it's really good but the problem is that I am still using Gmail account with it, it sends email on plaintext and is very traceable. I plan on totally switching to services like tutanota and Protonmail (created by CERN engineers).

Browsing history snooping can be avoided by setting clean cache history on exit or every 5 min, or by using an add-on like self destructing cookies on your browser.

About social media, i deleted my twitter and Instagram and now use a RSS reader to get news about people who i care about,

I do use Facebook but i never post, like or follow anyone. It's basically a ghost account.

I'm still willing to reduce as much as i can the info that can be collected about me, i simply despise the idea of my privacy being sold around advertisers.

I was getting the same problem of blocked website.

My workaround

Accessed page through mobile data and copied the addresses of links and those worked fine.

The OTA links did not work and had to be downloaded through cell phone by long tapping the links and "save link"
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
gravitybox wont work well with stock based roms and you wil probably see errors in xposed logs, like i did...but g3tweaksbox is fine for me....

google uses tls encryption, not plain text...although im not sure if their libraries are closed source or not, probably are....and they probably have other backdoors...and nsa and other govt agencies dont really need google or cache or cookies to monitor us, they already do it at major optic fibre hubs as confirmed by snowden...even tor is not safe anymore...maybe p2p internet might do something...

the email services you have mentioned are secure only when communicating with other secure services, sending email to gmail or hotmail wont be secure according to their security levels... i also use signal app but nobody else i know uses it so its kind of pointless.

lolz a pretty healthy social life you got there! :p

some people might just call it stalking :p

[G3 Android Development] eigen:
Was not aware. Thank you!
[G3 Android Development] :
It would be really appreciated! Thank you for your consideration.

I've read that you are in italy, i have a friend of mine who is also studying android development in a university in italy. If you can give me an email, i would give it to him.

even if Google uses encryption, I still don't trust it.

Agreed, a meshnet is most secure, or i2p. Reminder that NSA broke 128AES but has not broken 256 yet.. better start encrypting! ?

The emails providers are okay because Protonmail is based in Switzerland (Which has strict privacy laws) and in Germany which is second best. But I do agree that If the recipient doesn't use the service it's useless, i still prefer it over Gmail though.

About signal, I use Telegram because you can lure non-tech people with stickers and desktop application. It has chats that have end to end encryption.

i had a Facebook profile where I posted and shared continuously, with over 1500 friends that I added over the years, then I realised that i never spoke with those people and only spoke with my gf and few friends, therefore i didn't need 1450 stalkers myself ? then came the news of people being banned for wrongspeak http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/07/13/police-raids-germany-net-posts/

and Facebook algorithm mysteriously preferring one political party instead of another http://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006

so I made my choice that I didn't need to stay in a hugbox with no opposite opinion.
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
well nobody should trust google, anything that is atleast not open source and peer reviwed cant be trully trusted..

yeah nsa has hacked and broken a lot of stuff, telecommunication, and routers and a lot of encryption from what i have read....

i would prefer a secure service but nobody to talk to on it :/

did you just say 1500! i mean seriously, whats wrong with you! :D

how does a guy with 1500 friends convert to a lone stalker :pp

yeah facebook has its issues but i usually stay on science and tech side and not on the political side, so not that much exposure to that...

im more worried about artificial intelligence :p

check this out, its long but worth it...part 2 is where the real topic starts

[G3 Android Development] princedede:
[MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] i think why people are complaining of battery issue is the fact that doze mode is not that effective. For example on my xperia once the screen goes off doze mlde closes all the apps. And all notifications are pursed unless the app is on ignore list on battery saving settings. But on fulmics its not like that, i still get all my apps opened and notifications coming through even when phone is on sleep. I just thought i let you know. Thanks
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
doze mode only works if your phone has been sitting still without any motion(wont work in pocket) with the screen off for a long time, and you still get important notification and for apps in the exclude list... basically it only works after long time of inactivity, unless aggressive doze has been enabled like through greenify...

and it only affects battery if in standby not with the screen on...

[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
I dirty flashed all the way to 5.3, but I'm getting a toast message about the contacts app whenever I try to use it that it's stopped working. I've read the posts saying to full wipe then flash again, but I read that it's a problem with different database styles. What can I manually do to fix this issue instead of full wiping? Can I manually remove the contacts app and manually insert a new one then sync again with Google manually? I've used Titanium Backup to wipe data from the Contacts app and the Contacts storage app, but to no avail. If it's a database problem, can I just remove the database it uses to fix the issue?

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
first post as senior member! whatever thats worth, sorry ;)

anyways delete /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts

hopefully that should work

this is where contacts and call log databases are stores so backup this if you want, in case you need it...
[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
Thanks! Deleted that. No contacts/call logs showed -- as expected, but when I try to add a contact it still force closes :(

If anyone knows the root cause of it all, pray tell! I'd rather nandroid back to older version of the rom than have to set everything up again from a fresh flash :/

I just tried deleting the contacts app through titanium backup, and re-flashing the ROM with no contact data whatsoever. The dirty flash got me the contacts app again, but it still crashes whenever I try to use it :/
[G3 Android Development] immppa:
From first page:

8. Why am I getting Contacts FC?

Make sure you full wiped your phone if coming from version 4.x or other Roms. If still FCs do not import or restore contacts data from any backup (eg. LG backup).
[G3 Android Development] jtrvk:
By any chance have you disabled contacts storage from app list?
[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
I'm trying to find out how to fix it without fully reflashing. If it's a database issue, why doesn't it resolve itself when I delete the data?

I disabled it/deleted it when I was trying to force it to start without data/cache, but reenabled it when that didn't work.
[G3 Android Development] linkgaga:
Ummm I can't take a photo... But I try to remember the first line. Its saying "boot certification verify"

[G3 Android Development] :
problem is, it's the most popular search engine, applications come preinstalled..

scariest thing is that Google has a primitive quantum computer, i wonder when will it be a full computer..

on the other side there are scientists working on a quantum-resistant encryption.

That's the point though, isn't it? I removed the great majority of my "friends" because I never spoke to them, and then convinced gf and family to use telegram with stickers and encryption ??

i told you, it was so many people, friends of friends, people who I would go out with once and they'd add me on Facebook for some reason. I "converted" because I also noticed that what they shared was garbage anyway: good they had that day, soccer matches results, pictures with other people which I didn't know..

and i am not a stalker, lol! the friends that i added on the new profile are people who I actually speak to, who have my phone number etc..

Speaking of that i think i will delete facebook altogether, and only contact people through telegram, and phone calls ?

Do you know of any application that modifies system settings so when i call my "favorite numbers" (family etc) it will show my phone number, but if i call any other phone it will call without phone number (private caller)?

The problem with tech and science is that it's state sponsored, if you study something that is "not politically correct" (read:anything the state doesn't like) your study will be canned.

I too enjoy science and researches in tech, but I wish there would be more research on actual useful everyday tasks, instead of Samsung's bendable phones! ?

[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=4149493]trippinz[/MENTION], could you also check the permissions in Settings -> Apps. Go there, select Show System from three-dot menu and check perms of anything contacts related. At least to rule out something on that end.

LG G3 D851, Tekcafe ROM, Solid Kernel, Tapatalk 4.9.5
[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
Checked that. Enabled all permissions to no avail. I even used a different app to give it all permissions to rule that out too.

(when you say "Show System", do you mean to find the contacts app on the list? I went on the contacts app from the list that came up when I went on Apps, and then onto 'show permissions'.)
[G3 Android Development] princedede:
Why not back up ur apps via titanium. Then wipe system to reflash.. it's quite tedious to start again but it will help since all efforts so far has failed.

Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"
[G3 Android Development] Anik49:
Flash this file from twrp

See what happen...
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
flashing again wont help, the problem is in the data partition try deleting com.android.phone and com.android.contacts and com.android.providers.contacts and then wiping data for contatct and contacts storage apps.. then restart...

you could also try deleteing com.android.providers.telephony, its for storing messages and stuff...maybe some conflict there..

make backups first...

Hi all

I just wanted to check before I go ahead with flashing this lovely looking rom, I've just rooted and installed TWRP using this method http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/root-twrp-marshmallow-d855-30b-t3286268

are there any know problems with flashing Fulmics after using this method? I've had a quick search but I can't find any references to that flashing method and this rom

cheers
[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
Ah! Thanks for that. That even seems like it'd work. Sadly, since I needed my contacts app working quite soon I gave up a few hours ago and just dirty flashed v4.1 and am running that for now with the contacts all working. If anyone else is having this problem and tries what Hassan.Siddiqi suggested, please tag me in the post you reply to this thread so I know what to do in the future.

I may flash later versions of this ROM and try this. But since I've dirty flashed on the build I'm currently running at least 4 times -- with no perceptible issues -- I don't want to risk making it 6 at this moment in time by dirty flashing to 5, then if it doesn't work I'll have to dirty flash back.
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
doing a clean flash is a bit time taking, but if you back up all your apps using titanium, then its not that much work, you only have to fix settings and any mods you have done...

you could have done it by now in the time you were trying to fix the contact app, just sayin :)

hello everyone

any common issue with 4G network on D855 with Fulmics 5.3?

thank you.
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:

[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
the classic IT crowd advise "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

after adding apn manually if it is different from default, select the one you added by clicking on it and it should have a circle infront of it(if there are more than one apn), then turn airplane mode on and off or restart phone..then check

---------- Post added at 19:01 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ----------

no need to select the band, as d850 already supports it...

are you even in range of 4g signal?

go to hidden menu->modem protocol->rat selection and select 4g only, then see..

Hi, Just installed Fulmics 5.1, because it was on the list as "non ota". However, now my phone keeps rebooting into recovery. Can't get into system. What should I do? Tried searching the thread, but it was so much talk about recovery I couldn't find anything usefull. I Get "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" and the device is D855.
[G3 Android Development] AlbioB:
Ahah, yes, I rebooted it nearly 10 times since the problem appeared.

I think the problem is that my old carrier was a MVNO (Tiscali) which used the same network of the new carrier (TIM).

Tiscali blocked connections to TIM APNs forcing users to use their own APNs.

Maybe something has been messed up during the portability.

[G3 Android Development] trippinz:
It's not the time so much as the hassle. I'd rather spend a few hours fixing an issue over having to tweaking every little thing to how it was before. I dirty flash a rom and all my apps are there exactly as I want them , my widgets and apps on my homepages as I want them, my WiFi logins as I had them, my pairings, my font sizes, my display times, my brightness, my sign ins on stock apps, my everything. I don't find it as tedious to fix an issue I find interesting to get to the bottom of. I just cba setting up a lockscreen again etc, because half the 'restore data' end up crashing the apps or something. I don't even have to tweak the way I had the date set in the notification bar to show the date and month next to the clock. What I'm saying is that I'd rather have to change one big thing over a hundred minor things. But I do understand your point. Wouldn't you rather have to go fix the lock on the frontdoor than decorate every room exactly as you had it? I realise half the things I mentioned are covered in TB, but for the things it doesn't, I just find it a pain to realise what it missed out & how I had it all set before :/

I'm going to give your fix a go later tonight. I might delete my contacts app and data from my v4 version of this ROM to further smooth things over when I flash v5. Who knows, it could work!
[G3 Android Development] agnostic-apollo:
lolz im kind of like you, i dont like to set up roms again.. if something goes wrong in the system or data i try to fix it using aroma file manager in recovery so that i dont loose anything..it always works...so just gotta know whats wrong...

i waited a long time to update from 5.0 to 5.1 because even dirty flashing messes up my stuff in the system partition and i hate fixing it all again but eventually i did it for the fixes...

i make automated titanium backups everyday just so that i dont loose any small thing that i could have changed during the day in case of any trouble, im a freak :pp

goodluck tonight

Have you try to go back to stock via kdz or tot? Then root all over again. Seems the kernel and bootloader are not matching that'll give you this error. Or you can try this. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845

the best way to fix it will be to flash the stock kdz as netookska05 has suggested and then rooting and flashing twrp again and then finally flashing fulmics..it will also fix any other underlying errors that might come in the future...

Fantastic ROM btw

I see some people talking about slow boot time but i don't see any fix anywhere ?

Is there a way to fix this ? I heard somewhere it was caused by some dual-boot compatibility ?

Mine takes around 10min to boot up and it's really frustrating when I have to reboot .

Thanks guys.
