the theme is a ".sys" file extension, and you import it through UITweaker. you can read up on this thread

Hi

Besides the price and the screen size, how is the V20 better?

Thank you for the help. I am trying to figure out what to replace my note 7 with.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] douger1957:
SD card and a removable battery. After the Note 7, I don't want a phone that I can't take the battery out.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
For me is better in the following ways:

Second screen, removable battery, looks better, sdcard, the camera specs look better to me, better audio, full AT&T support (AT&T tends to not fully support features like VoLTE on non branded devices).

Downside: probably locked bootloader, potentially limited development support, and each version has a subset of all the possible LTE bands.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
Almost 300 Dollars cheaper if you trade in your old 4G phone. Has some unique hardware features that the pixel doesn't have (2nd screen, dual camera, replaceable battery). Potential downside of V20: Slow with software updates and battery life. I decided today to cancel my Pixel XL order. To spent 1000 bucks for a phone that has no hardware wow factor didn't sit well with me. The Google software gimmicks on the pixel like assistant don't interest me and they are anyway 1st gen.Pixel owners are beta testers. Maybe next years Pixel 2nd gen will be nice.

The Silver phone is Silver on both sides, not Silver on the back and Girly White on the front. :confused:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dermotti:
I was debating between the two. My biggest gripe on the v20 is the screen. Not a bad screen, but LG calibration is usually bad and way too cold. Also no VR on the lg.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
The worst is the blue pixel. Looks good from the back and then you turn it around and it is white. UGLY!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
I hate the button placement on the Pixel. Similar to the one on the 6P. While holding the phone I constantly press the volume button. In a car holder the phone cannot be positioned in the middle because the holder presses than either the on/off button or the volume button down.

For every cons you find on the LG V20, you get 2 or more pros. By the way. Someone already unlocked the bootloader for the Tmobile model! (I GOT TO LOVE TMOBILE LOL! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO NICE). Smells like some rooting is about to be cooked up!... anyway, lets keep up with the listing, LG V20 is : Better looking, high quality built, shockproof, removable battery, Expandable SD CArd up to 2000TBS!, more megapixels in the rear camera, INFRAREEEED (an odd yet very effective feature to find in a phone nowadays), and the uniform color. and several other great features that you wouldnt find on google pixel /xl

My main consideration in going with the v20 over the pixel was this is google's first phone. I think that alone increases the chances for problems. Plus, where I'm at, there's no actual physicall store selling the pixel. I'm more comfortable being able to go to a store and talk to someone if I have a problem and need replacement.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jooosty:
Facts which can be chosen based upon preference.

I preordered the V20 based on these items below.

- Availability, the XL is out of stock for how long no one knows.

- MicroSD support

- Removable battery (Not a must for me)

- Audio experience.

- Camera has a lot of features, but quality could be a 50/50?

Thats basically it. Everything else would be preference honestly.

The PIXEL XL is just a bad ass phone.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] probablecauzdnb:
i just don't the looks of the pixel. the design looks like every other generic phone that has come out over the last few years. i got the v20 for all the same reason others have already mentioned. i love the phone so far. even way better than my recalled note 7 which i hated so much. glad they got recalled.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] borisb:
Yea I returned the note7 myself.

Waiting for the unlocked v20 but I cannot stop thinking that I am missing the greatest phone yet.

All of the media is in love with the pixel.

So better camera + amoled+ better CPU. I don't know.

Also many say the DAC is just a gimic and in a away I am worried the v20 is a gimic.

I wish I could play with both phones to see the reaction time , feel, speaker and call quality and so on. Although the pixel is built by HTC and they always provided solid hardware.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] borisb:
Not sure.

I learned you like your LGs and that you used all Samsungs.

So you are a carrier or mainstream buyer and might care about the warranty and payments.

You didn't buy any One Pluses or cheaper zte/huawei brands so I know that you go for safe picks. The Alcatel was probably a cheap pick to use and dispose.

The pixel probably never interested you.

I should get the v20 and pixel xl by the end if next week. Then I will know what I like better.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
You are right Sherlock LOL . well, except that the majority of those devices i bought it from third party websites such as ebay or amazon, thus , warranty never applied. But yeah, i like to play safe. The alcatel i bought it to use a second sim card but hey, in the end i gave it to tmobile to get the $200 so it served a better prupose hahaha. I have used ZTE and i used a oneplus >> both of them from my friends but i just didnt feel as comfortable as i felt with samsumg before they started removing some of the things i like in a phone such as (removable battery, IR blaster among other things) which is the reason i stopped buying samsung after the S6. That and the fact that i had my AMOLED screen from samsung devices changed 6 times because of ghosting , each on different versions of the samsungs including notes and S. That's why I prefer IPS screens and sacrifice the pure black of amoled screens and high saturation. (i already spent enough on screen replacements). I still have my 2 lg g3's and they still working EXCELLENT! I get 4+ hours of screen on time, and it last about 1 day and 14 hours if screen is off. And about 18 hours with screen off playing music. But i also still have my Galaxy s4, but that one i use it occasionally , usually i give it to my grandma so that she can call whoever she wants, so, im not flashing that much on it anymore. I believe the galaxy s5 is the best smartphone samsung has ever made (just my opinion).

Now, talking about the pixel, it just doesn't doesnt call my attention. 1) the look: sure, i always buy a heavy duty cover which most of the time covers about 85 to 90% of the whole body so, the looks might as well be the less important reason. 2) No micro sd card slot and no IR blaster >> DEFINITELY A NOT GO for this reasons!, 3) rear camera has less megapixels >>> i would stay with my lg g3 better or my s4 instead of buying the pixel then. 4) no removable battery: i always buy a spare because im the type of guy who is always ready>>> if you dont believe me you are welcome to check each cabinet of my car lol. and not only electronics.. And 5) price, it just doesnt seem like a $700+ phone. To be honest, it looks like they are being forced to limit the amount of features to be included in the phone and just putting the basics >> just like apple does>> which makes me place the phone price along with what i believe the latest iphone should actually cost: $400+ LOL (yes i have held and used the iphone 7 from one of my apple lover friends and after 15-20 minutes i came up with the conclusion that that device doesnt even feel like a $600+ phone, but more like a $400+ or even less.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] thedawg03:
call quality is way better than my note 3... on both ends. they say i sound so clear. the DAC u can tell its better, sounds more rich , more depth. its hard to explain but i do like the audio. im just comparing it to my Note 3, since the say all DAC are the same on all phones since this one.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
Trust me, it was a HARD choice for me. I've had a Nexus 4,5,6,6p....but the pixel didn't do it for me. Just the guarantee of updates wasn't enough to make me spend the extra money and NOT get any "extra" features. I love the removable storage as now I can carry around my audio in FLAC instead of MP3, and I'm so looking forward to the DAC. I hate the way bluetooth audio sounds for music so I always go wired. Removable battery, while nice, I probably won't ever use...easier to just plug it in to charge rather than take case off to get to the battery. I also like the dual rear cameras...

I figure this is a test to see if I can survive without 100 different roms I can flash all the time......course, maybe I'll spend more time using, rather than "updating" my phone. :)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApatheticWrath:
I was on cm 12 for a while but got sick of the bluetooth crashing every so often and the occasional sleep of death. So I flashed fulmic to see if it ran any better . Everything seemed to be fine except all of the carrier network stuff after flashing no mobile data or anything. I tried to add apn in Fulmics hidden menu but it never appeared in list after saving it. I tried to restore an ancient backup around when i first got the phone with TWRP but still no data, no imei, baseband unknown. I saw a method that was said to maybe work for restoring the imei but it said i needed to be on stock rom. I tried putting it back to stock using LGD851AT-01-V10c file and LGD851_20140611_LGFLASHv160 dll file on lg flashtool but it gave me a model information check fail. The imei is written on the inside below the battery if that's of any help. So I'm at my wits end here my only ideas were to try flashing the stock rom on another computer as someone suggested to someone else. Is that my only option?

So funny story

Ok so I didn't understand your suggestion at first so I thought I guess I'll just try it on another comp. I opted to research a bit more first though see i had tried lgup before but i kept getting device unknown. After enough googling someone mentioned that lgup needed its own special drivers after some searching i ran into LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.MSI I thought OH THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT. I installed it lgup detected my phone i ran it my phone seems factory new with signal and everything back. :crying::laugh::crying:

Moral of the story is i guess ill backup my efs more carefully? I don't get it though why didn't the TWRP restore bring back the efs. At least i think that's what was messed up.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Scramjet:
Hello everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted here, and I'm very very late to the party since HTC took its sweet time to bring the 10 to my country. Now I've finally got the phone (for entirely free through a corporate discount), and I'd like to do this properly, now. The key thing is that throughout all these steps, I want to maintain functionality of Android Pay. I have a few questions as well.

First, I'd like to S-OFF/unlock the bootloader. I tried entering bootloader mode (volume down + power keys) and noticed that there are a few new modes on this phone compared to my old M8, like Download Mode. What is it?

Next, I'd like to achieve systemless root - I understand this is entirely possible through the latest SuperSU.

Then, I would like systemless Xposed functionality. While searching around, I noticed a few new words thrown around like Magisk. What is it, and how do I get 'systemless Xposed'?

I'd like Adaway on my phone, and I believe it modifies the hosts file once again located in /system. Any way to work around this? Not to mention another couple of ad-blocking Xposed modules.

Next up, I'd like to install the AcoustiX audio mod. Not sure if that doesn't modify system files, once again.

Finally, I hope to remove some of the gapps like Play Music and Play Movies, and install the older HTC bundled apps.

Would any of the above conflict with Android Pay? How do I go about starting, and where do I look for more information for my questions (answers welcome too)?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rolo42:
1. S-off, SunShine app or hardware solution like xtc2clip; why do you need S-off?

2. My SuperSU said systemless when it installed

3. http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

4. Good question; I'm curious also

5. I never messed with audio stuff; sure that's better than what htc provides?

6. Titanium Backup
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elite001mm:
Okay, so first of all I have a Verizon variant. I unlocked the bootloader/s-off with sunshine. Apparently you don't need to unlock the bootloader when you have s-off. I don't know why or how that works... I unlocked the BL anyways. You'll have to wipe your data if you do that. Just read up on that bit.

After that, you can install TWRP and do a full backup. Make sure you save that somewhere.

If you screw something up I think you can just RUU back to a working state. I think...

As far as Magisk... It's amazing. It's essentially a way for developers to make any flashable zip type mod systemless. To the end user it works similar to Xposed. You flash the framework in recovery (it won't modify the system, that's the whole point) and then you have an app to manage the framework and all your mods.

For example I have a Magisk mod that replaces my HTC dialer and contacts with Google's dialer and contacts (like a nexus). If I want to go back I just uncheck the mod in the app and reboot. HTC apps are back.

If you don't need SuperSU specifically, root can be achieved directly through Magisk with phh's superuser mod for Magisk. So the process would be:

1) download Magisk zip

2) download Magisk manager app

3) download phh's superuser for Magisk (Magisk manager won't function without some type of su)

**All of these can be found through the Magisk XDA thread

4) reboot to recovery and flash Magisk zip THEN flash phh's superuser mod for Magisk

5) reboot to system and install the phh's superuser app from the play store

6)install the Magisk manager apk from earlier

7)from within the Magisk app you can install Xposed as a Magisk mod. It's in the repository. Just install it and reboot. Boom, Xposed. If you want to disable it just uncheck it and reboot. Magisk mods work like Xposed mods so you can disable the entirety of Xposed in the same way you could enable/disable individual Xposed mods before (this is really useful if you have apps like Snapchat that won't work if you have Xposed installed). Another note is that you need to use the material Xposed installer. The old Xposed installer don't support systemless i don't think.

But yeah, good luck. I've found that systemless is a better way to go. For me I just like it because it's more organized. I can disable and enable whatever I want. I will mention though, don't expect Android pay to work. Magisk used to be used to make Android pay work on rooted and Xposed phones. It's moved away from that. It can still be done but it's a constant battle and it's not worth it. I'm not sure if I answered all the questions because I'm on mobile and I can't see the rest of the thread while km typing but yeah.. good luck man. Magisk is a great tool.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elite001mm:
Update: you can use SuperSU with Magisk but be careful with how it installs. I don't know how to force it to install systemlessly.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rolo42:
S-off unlocks the same partitions as unlocking the bootloader does...and then some (all?).

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process

and

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/faq
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elite001mm:
S-off + BL unlock means you can do whatever the hell you want (hboot, radios, CID, etc). So you need to know what you're doing before you flash something.

A simple bootloader unlock allows you to flash ROMs and kernels and recoveries.

These two things I understand... But...

------------------

What I don't understand is this (there's a post by jcase about it but I can't find it): When sunshine first came out for this phone, everyone was recommending to just perform s-off locked instead of s-off unlocked. I forget what the benefit was (I think it may have been avoiding the encryption corruption thing) but essentially from what I understood there was no downside to the locked bootloader.

Perhaps s-off just overrides everything but I didn't think that's how it worked. I've been away from HTC for a while and I'm not the most knowledgeable person anyways. I know enough not to break my phones :D but I remember back from the M8 days everyone wanted/needed s-off and the BL unlocked so I just went ahead and did that. I flash firmwares and radios and stuff so I didn't want to run into a roadblock in the future.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ariac Konrel:
S-Off Unlocked = more restrictions.

S-Off Locked = less restrictions.

I know it's very backwards, but I believe that's the biggest advantage.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] toc100:
Hello,

Im thinking to get a black Sony XZ either this or next month, the dual version is available with lower price from ebay, while amazon sells with ~US 700 (black color is 630, but no version specified)

but its odd that the dual version 1st came available on ebay (with reasonable price) prior to the single SIM, so in case i miss any details from the spec, are they 2 different phones or they sharing the same firmware except the SIM trays?

is it true that on most cases, the regular version would receive more dev supports than the dual? thank you.
