[LG G Flex 2] danslb:
Hi I am considering getting a Flex 2. I went from considering ordering a H950 At&t variant from abroad because of the extra storage and RAM. However after seeing that it will probably never get marshmallow and probably has more bloatware on it than other versions, I am thinking that even the weaker H955 might work better with Marshmallow since it should be a lot more optimized for the SD810 SOC and maybe better RAM management too. I would appreciate if you could give your opinion on some things:

- What is the bloatware situation on the Flex 2 Marshmallow ROM out of the box?

- Have you seen an increase in speed on everyday use( compared to 5.1.1/11)? Such as opening apps and multitasking.

- Have you seen a decrease in heating and throttling issues?

-Have you seen an increase in battery life?

- Have you tried any low or high end gaming? If so what is the performance like on Marshmallow?

- Has the minimum brightness issue been fixed?

- Have you tried different launchers to see if there has been an improvement in performance?

Many thanks

- What is the bloatware situation on the Flex 2 Marshmallow ROM out of the box?

Possibility to disable uninstall / reinstall LG apps if you don't like.

- Have you seen an increase in speed on everyday use( compared to 5.1.1/11)? Such as opening apps and multitasking.

Yes

- Have you seen a decrease in heating and throttling issues?

Yes

-Have you seen an increase in battery life?

Same, my record is more then 120 Hours but if you use intense you drain the battery more quickly.

- Have you tried any low or high end gaming? If so what is the performance like on Marshmallow?

Not tried.

- Has the minimum brightness issue been fixed?

What issue ? On 0% still see the display very good.

- Have you tried different launchers to see if there has been an improvement in performance?

Nova Launcher work great.

Would you mind explaining what you mean? I don't exactly understand.

Generally speaking the reviews and users report that at min brightness it was way too bright so for viewing in the darkness it is just too hard on the eyes.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CromDubh:
Does anyone else have the problem that after a restart the phone defaults back to 12hr clock (am/pm) instead of the 24hr clock I'd set the system to?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MilTime:
Yes, I have a new LG V20 with this problem. Not only is the time defaulting to the 12hr clock after a restart, but it is defaulting or shutting off the 24hr clock during normal operations! First I discovered that the 24hr clock would default to 12hr clock when re-entering the "Date & time" settings control. Then after LG recommended a factory reset, which didn't correct the issue, I noticed it just defaulting to 12hr clock all on it's own after a few days of up-time on 24hr clock...

Great phone... hoping there's a fix or a new device will solve the problem.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MilTime:
Didn't make sense to exchange the device for a new one because it wasn't likely hardware related, but went for a new one anyway...

Same issue, although what I did notice is that the pre-installed Accuweather widget on the home screen is defaulting from 24hrs to 12 hrs several seconds before the time in the Status Bar changes from 24hrs to 12hrs.

I wonder if the Weather widgets are responsible!?

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sushant515:
And can you provide a link for removing fpr lock
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSMGCraft:
Install Kernel Guide (if you don't know)

Download Kernel (Boot.tar.md5)

Download Odin

Download Samsung USB Drivers

Bootup Phone in download mode by pressing VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER and if something show press VOL UP

Connect Phone to PC After You Bootup phone in downloadmode

Open Odin

Press "AP" Button then select Boot.tar.md5 where you placed it on your disk

Press Start, it will flash your kernel.

If you have frp lock you need to follow my guide or live without google account

Then After Phone Bootup and you still have enforcing it's simple to change it

Download Terminal Emulator or 1 Tap Permissive (Selinux Mode Changer) app

In terminal emulator write "setenforce 0" you need busybox.

Check settings and selinux should be now permissive

it's already made change's to your phone if you flashed it

You after it have:

Glitchy Init.d Support

Ability to change selinux between permissive/enforcing

and more

The app has google account manger buy can't do anything with it it opens just pages that's all
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSMGCraft:
You have Verify Your Account ?!

you are doing something wrong

Did you removed Google account then Open DisableService going to system and searching for Google Play Services?

Then Searching for FrpService and FrpUpdateIntentService then unchecking both FrpService and FrpUpdateIntentService

Then Opening QuickShortcut Maker searching for manager. Opening 1 Th Email, And Password. Adding through browser?

if you do this right you will have google account with disabled frp lock

If you do something wrong

It will end up like this

Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock (BootLoaderLoop)

FRP Enabled

There are pretty much no sources for this phone, it's very hard to make a ROM like CM. The G531F has a totally different CPU than the other models, and no other phone uses this CPU, so we're really ****ed. But we have a kernel already, maybe someone will help us in the future, and we'll make a ROM.

P.S: and it's not the only thing that Verizon cut from the firmware ...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ryanpm40:
Wow, I've had this phone for many months and had no idea that was supposed to be a feature. I did know that Verizon stripped out Smart Settings and Themes on the G4 and G5. It's absurd.

But, from my understanding, if this is something LG charges carriers a fee for, then LG should be ashamed of themselves. It doesn't cost them any extra money to enable a feature that already exists on the phone.

Why? Because LG charges extra for certain features, and Verizon didn't want to pay 'em so they could charge you more and support their bigger, fancier networks.

Going to test it this afternoon. I think it will work.....

By the way: many other settings are hidden (accounts, sync, ...). They even have a second "settings.apk" (only 1 MB)....wtf.....? A lot of overlays too (we should get rid of them) :)
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
Interesting.

I'll have to rip a few of those apart and see what is up with them.

Hopefully, I'll have my 128N2's by next week.

FYI: Brainless "Candy" at Joying is really giving me the runaround when asking her about getting into recovery. Told her even to ask their technical people for the answer.... her solution? Just wait an extra hour before responding to the email with the same nonsense "do not worry, it will not fail to boot into Android, this is our latest very much more stable"

I *really* hate dealing with chinese manufacturers.

Wonder how she's going to respond to my request for kernel source code? Probably give me a link to kernel.org....

[MTCD Software Development] leonkernan:
Not even remotely the same thing.
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
:(

I know, just don't understand why the CPU makes the native ROM different for
[MTCD Software Development] leonkernan:
The Bluetooth was a separate module on the RK boards, it's on the processor board on the Sofias.

They have completely different driver software requirements.
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
Well, you know something... just because the bluetooth module is on a separate board does not mean that it is necessarily "wrong". Consider the fact that you can plug a bluetooth USB dongle into ANY normal laptop/desktop/server and have it work correctly! The thing is, there ARE a bunch of high speed ties between the SoC through to the MCU board, and we know from the fact that things like torque CAN work on the rockchip/arm/mtcX units that BT SPP profile is definitely able to make it through to the bluetooth device itself. Also the fact that WIFI works on those units supports the idea that they aren't completely broken (wifi and bluetooth are on the same physical RF chip, since they use the same spectrum and need to coordinate with each other in order to operate correctly).

What this really boils down to, is that very likely, those older arm boards *actually could* be programmed to have correctly working bluetooth.

However, there IS a difference in the software. While on the RK/arm boards, they have MODIFIED the settings/bluetooth screen to be horribly broken, on the INTEL boards, they have simply deleted the link to the settings/bluetooth activity from the main settings activity, and otherwise left it fully intact. So really, there are TWO possibilities here in just how they butchered it; (1) They added a new settings/bluetooth screen and changed the link to point to it, which could mean that the original one is actually still there UNBROKEN, or (2) They actually butchered the settings/bluetooth activity.

If they used approach (1), then this apk ***COULD ACTUALLY WORK*** on them. However, if they used approach (2), then it would definitely be necessary to build a new settings/bluetooth screen with the appropriate permissions to change bluetooth settings, and installed in the system partition (i.e., root needed).
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
Hi,

My Joying JY-UL135N2 just arrived. So far so good with the functionalities except Bluetooth OBD2. I have used 'blueballs.apk' and the Bluetooth settings screen appeared which was not visible otherwise. I could find my BT OBD2 device in the device list with the name 'CHX'. I tried to pair to it and unfortunately error popped up " Couldn't pair with CHX because of an incorrect PIN or passkey".

In the BT settings screen, there is no option to specify PIN or passkey. May be the unit sends some JOYING pass key or PIN to the device without giving an option for the user to specify one.

Is there any way to send an user defined PIN or pass key to Bluetooth device?

hi, doitright,

error screenshot attached.[IMG="bluetooth error"]http://xdaforums.com/picture.php?albumid=13788&pictureid=54658[/IMG]
[MTCD Software Development] MMTK84:
[MENTION=6012443]aneesp[/MENTION] --> Use the built-in BT app to connected (first time) with your OBD device. Maybe you have to change the PIN to 0000 or 1234 to get a paired connection (use the built-in BT app to change the PIN!!!)
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
Ok, so what it is sounding like, is that the pin prompt on the head unit is broken, causing it to default to one specific user-set pin code for pairing. This user-set pin code is controllable via the chinese "bluetooth" application -- go there and set the pin to match your device, then go back into the "real" bluetooth settings menu and try again from there.
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
ok..

I will do that way and give you feed back..:):)
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
[MENTION=6124077]doitright[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3296313]MMTK84[/MENTION],

you saved my day and night. It worked. I entered my BT OBD2 PIN "6789" in the Chinese "Bluetooth" application (stock) and then used blueballs.apk to pair CHX. it paired smoothly. Torque could successfully establish connection and I am very happy about this unit JY-UL135N2. BT in the unit is fully functional. simultaneous playback of BT music and OBD2 is possible. Bluetooth hardware which is on on the SOC is perfect and only chinese software interface is making the issue. Any way we got the work around for this.

Please note that I didnt go for any firmware update from JOYING to make this happen. Yesterday I received the unit shipped with factory firmware MCU Version 2016-10-31 14:30:43 JY_(NOR)_90_C9_7706_5009_CAN(GX)_Newlap.

:highfive::good::good::good::good:
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
Glad to hear it!

Once I get my head units delivered (can you believe that I'm writing software to fix problems on these things before even owning one? LOL), I will look into it a bit more deeply. There is probably an intent being fired to prompt for the BT pin, but the receiver (or its registration) has probably been deleted by china.
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
wow...:o many thanks for your great support. :highfive::victory::victory:

Do you have an idea how to boot in to stock recovery of this unit. I just wanna to take a nandroid backup of the unit. I t seems I have to root the unit before doing it.
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
I actually just started a thread to compile all the known methods of booting into recovery. Nothing firm on that front, however, obviously you CAN "reboot" to recovery.

Good news for you about root though! Joying Intel devices ship WITH ROOT. The only thing you need to know about it, is that it is restricted to access through ADB. So turn on adb over wifi, adb connect to the ip address of the head unit on your LAN, adb root, and adb shell. You can then issue your "reboot recovery" command.

ADB over USB should also work, but you'll need to find the place in their menus where you can control the USB mode switch, and of course, you'll need a USB-A-male to USB-A-male cable.
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
Hi doitright,

I followed your steps for reboot to recovery using adb over wifi. I could issue the command "reboot recovery" and unit rebooted. After few seconds showing the boot logo, the android logo screen appeared with "No command" after two seconds, No command changed to "Error!". From earlier threads, I got an idea to press power button when we get this error screen. |I did so, but nothing happened. I was little bit afraid if the device is soft bricked. But, upon pressing reset button, unit booted normally.

Any clue?
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
Congrats. You successfully made it into recovery. Not sure what to tell you at this point, since factory recovery is what factory recovery is.

Going from there to the regular recovery menu on MOST devices (remember that I don't have one of these yet, so I haven't been able to play with it yet) involves more than just the power button. Typically it is hold power + something like volume up. You could also try mashing on a USB keyboard and see if anything happens.
[MTCD Software Development] aneesp:
Any way I have mailed the supplier (of course Chinese one) -' Joying Official Store' to give information how to get in to recovery mode using key strokes. I dont know how much they can help in this matter. If the code is generated by Chinese techies, why they cant release this info to their users? Booting to recovery is not a high end thing and that is possible in almost all android mobiles.

I will share you if I get anything good from them. :o
[MTCD Software Development] doitright:
You won't get ANYTHING useful out of them.

The brainless moron who replies to you will start off by not understanding what you mean, then when you finally figure out how to explain it (the only way is by sending a link to a video), she will finally acknowledge WHAT recovery is, and claim it to be unnecessary. You can use all kinds of valid and rational reasons to explain WHY it is necessary, and why it is a violation of android design to not have it accessible, but this will only put the idiot into an infinite loop of "don't worry, our new product is muchly stable than old, it is not needed". You can try something along the lines of "please go consult with your engineers", and they will then simply take longer to respond with the same nonsense.
