nothing for me yet; last update i received it 5 days after most received it

The most significant news in this update is this item:
- Optimized LTE system selection

Apparently one cause of the negative experience in the first LTE rollout markets is that handsets had been programmed to downshift from LTE to EVDO at a threshold signal strength for LTE that was too high. So many users couldn't get an LTE connection or hold on to in. (See this article at S4GRU.)
The other big factor was skimpy tower coverage at the time of launch. The handset factor magnified this problem.

Any way we can download it via odin because it not showing up in my phone yet.

Wonder what Google features were removed in this "security" update.

But you are running a custom ROM. I see that build LG8 is floating around here.
LG4 is announced as an OTA update for stock.

no the zip my phone downloaded says its lg8....the file says 04646f9535b3.update_sph-L710_LG2_to_LG8.zip

If anyone is looking for the RDF from Sprint, you can find it here:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L710/LG8.rdf
Looks like LG8 is real as there is an RDF page for it. I don't know who is and isn't familiar with these, but we used/found RDF pages for the Epic frequently around upgrade OS time. Most of them are test builds, but it shows a lot of information about that release.
For example, if you change the last part of the URL to LG4.rdf, you'll get a page too as that's a legit build from Sprint. However, if you change it to LG9.rdf you get nothing as that build doesn't exist.
I don't know exactly what the number means but L must be for 2012 and G is for July. I'm assuming the number stands for the build (not necessarily a specific date) of that month. So the first build in August would probably be LH1.
Since we don't have any OS updates on the horizon yet, these may not do much good, but once we start hearing more about Jelly Bean, we'll at least know when Sprint starts working on it.
And FWIW, it's formatted nicely when using IE but I know some browsers don't format those pages well at all. I'm forced to use IE at work, so it's a bummer for 99% of things.

Something is wrong. Maybe Sprint just botched the announcement. Let's hope they didn't actually foul up the OTA.
EDIT: Sprint rep online now says they are checking.

There was no LG3 released. The last official release was LG2.

Heh, I saw that literally about two minutes after I posted that. I'm into the habit of not checking General often because it was such a mess before...looks like I need to start jumping in there more often now that the separated all the carriers out.

Sprints now says it is LG8 after all
Sprint just corrected their announcement "for date and version number.". It is LG8 after all.
Release notes seem the same:
- KI – Touch Wiz home has stopped
- Single picture MMS no longer displayed as slideshow
- Optimized LTE system selection
- Enhanced Smart Stay function
- Enhanced Voice recognition algorithm
- All-Share Cast (All-share accessory hub) support
- Music Hub support

When someone flashes this please post anything negative hat might have changed like Google taking away some functionality like they did in LG2 or if signal level, and download speed or something else is messed up.

One of the people from the sprint community site mentioned that their phone runs hotter after update. Anyone else notice that?

My phone got quite warm when running the update and rebooting, since it had to rebuild lots of stuff during the first boot. It seems fine now.

just in case

I just flashed this, so not much to say at the moment, but it works. I'll update this post as I use it more.
It'd be nice if you can get the CM10.1 keyboard. The stock keyboard doesn't allow long pressing for numbers and symbols.
Is it just me or are the keyboard clicking sounds different? Anyway, this thing is slippery fast. I like it.
I just restored back to CM10.1, but then I already missed the smoothness of this ROM. lol. Really enjoy this ROM. I hope you stay around.

Didint flash this based on using all the roms available right now, the biggest issue is wifi not reconnecting after sleep. I'm currently on jellybro. It's the most stable and reliable, well some nightly releases are better than others. The available oc kernal is not entirely smooth or bug free. So if you can somehow fix or create a rom with a good custom kernal, you have something going here.

I always feel like I'm setting up a tent in someone's living room when I go into a forum like that. So I start small and try to get a feel for it. It didn't seem like there was any lack of ROMs and I misread the couple comments I got I guess. Thanks.

Well, there are definitely a lack of ROMs on the N10. There may be a total of at most 10 ROMs (and I think that number is more than there really is). The N10 is a great device that isn't seeing the developer support that I expected it to see. Yeah, it's a tablet, but I was expecting to see much more variety for a tablet that a lot people consider to be the best Android tablet on the market. So, the lack of ROMs is disappointing, and when I see a dev like you whose fantastic work I've seen on the GNex venturing in to the N10 forums, I definitely welcome it and most certainly desire it.
Your ROM will definitely help the N10 developmental and consumer community grow, so seriously stick around!
Also, I watched Muzzy in German when I was in high school.

I was so confused when I saw MMuzzy ROM in the N10 thread. Thought I had clicked on the GNex thread. Haha.
I've been running your rom on my GNex for several weeks. Can't wait to flash this and see how it goes.

LOL I think I've watched about two episodes or so of Muzzy. I don't remember much but I just remember that there were a royal family of mice and that evil guy who clones the princess and my God, I wasn't even sure what I was watching at that point.
And yes, the N10 screen is absolutely great. I just wish the colors were a bit more saturated (a teeny bit more), but regardless, it's a great device.

Hey- don't give up on us yet! I'm a big fan of your GNex rom and have been looking for something like it on the 10. Have downloaded and flashed- so far so good. Will follow-up tomorrow with any issues after i've run it for a while...
Thanks again for the hard work!

I just notice Craig Gomez had a ROM in here. If I had seen that earlier when I was trying to decide I wouldn't have bothered. That's the ROM i'd run if I had a Nexus 10. He's helped me out countless times with all sorts of technical issues.

Haven't flashed yet but I'm right about to, its great to see another well known dev here on the N10 forums making us all a fantastic new ROM! I have heard only good things about you and your work mmuzzy, thanks for starting up here with us! I'm sure all us on the N10 forums will greatly appreciate your work into this build and will be excited to see future releases from you. Thanks again man!!

downloading now thanks for the great sounding rom. have your gnex rom on my wifes phone right now and about to rock this on my n10. im gonna wipe my internal "SD" as im being plagued with either not charging sometimes or tablet wont wake up. ive been loyally flashing PA's rom with every update and i think its time to try this bad boy out. as the others have stated, will post any discrepencies i find, if any.

I'm going to flash your ROM too! It looks to be exactly what I'm looking for: clean, fast, and stable. Until I really get a feel for my new Nexus10, I'm not ready to fight with some pre-alpha, nightly ROMs at the moment. Just wanna cruise on a buttery highway for a while! Your work is appreciated, keep it up

@mmuzzy did you get yourself a N10? Nice to see you here...

Boring 4.3 update

I loaded the 4.3 leak and its smooth and runs great but I don't notice anything else but the flare/light lock screen, not even a themed out dialer or more features with Messaging app, like more bubbles or background options. I really was hoping for a revamped UI for TW but samsung kept it the same. Might as well just call it 4.2 since we didn't see 4.2 on our devices, except the i9300. But as I play with the leak on my phone its just too boring. Sorry but Samsung had us skip 4.2 to give us 4.3, I know its just a leak but how much different will the actual release be? not much.
That's why I flash CM roms to give it a different look on my phone. So glad I rooted my phone. Any way I thought I just vent a bit on the so called update that looks totally the same as 4.1

Yeah this is exactly why I'm going Nexus 5.
But I don't think 4.3 had many visual changes aside from the WiFi connection bars and tabbed settings. That being said it definitely brought along a vast improvement over GPU rendering, better battery life, and overall smoothness.

Yeah you're right. far as smoothness it is better. far as visual its not attracting. But the phone runs faster and not a big fan of toggles. I hope to get on the N5.

That's the thing, not much change from 4.1 to 4.3 visually, even with stock android. Trim support should keep or system running smooth tho

Thats true sometimes all those apps that come with the rom I never use. But I don't understand whats "knox" and I do like the samsung apps like calendar, notes, music apps. I just hope that if we ever get TW 4.4 I hope that at least it'll be an nice minimalistic TW UI. that'll be nice to see that. I wish I was good at programing. I can do images, icons but not good with coding. Hopefully we can see a google style TW UI. I just think that TW should go another direction and lean more towards a google style UI. Flat colors.

I beg to differ due to the fact that I'm not bothered by the lack of aesthetic changes personally. I'm fine with stock 4.1.2 right now so the overall performance improvements are a good enough upgrade for me. I wasn't expecting Samsung to change much anyways.

Biggest plus imo is group messaging. I haven't run a TW Rom since getting this phone until now. I was fine with asop, but the Wi-Fi calling is another big plus with TW.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Thanks guys for pointing out some things I didn't noticed. I never used group messaging or used wifi calling. I guess everyone has a thing or two with the update. I use my phone in the most basic way, I mean basic. I make a few callings, text mostly to people and try to customize my phone to look cool. I mean thats it. I don't use really the other special features that comes with the phone. Maybe Gmail and on occasion the web. I just like to try to make my phone look different. and love trying out roms.

Well, if this article is to be believed, (http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/12/galaxy-s3-android-4-3-update-pulled-note-2-delayed/) we may not get the OTA update for a while now. Funny how I don't read about most of these issues in the 4.3 leak threads- I just wonder if it's because most of us do a factory reset because we're coming from another ROM. Maybe Samsung needs to make a factory reset mandatory for a major update like this.

I like it...
I personally like the (leaked) 4.3 update. I did use CyanogenMod for awhile on my S3, but there was just a few too many bugs that never seemed to get resolved (camera issues, audio issues), which ended with me going back to TW. I like the transparent notification bar with 4.3, and the fact it seems to (so far) be smoother than 4.1.2 was, with better battery life as well.
Most likely I will get a Nexus 5 after the holidays, because I personally love stock Android, but I will miss wifi calling.

It does appear to be affecting our release, but I believe ours to be relatively free of the issues in that article. (We've had a few problems, but it's only been for a few people). Just keep in mind they are talking about the I9300 in the article, a very different device from ours.

The only issue I've seen is the keyboard and lack of kernel source. Other than that all is well with the current leak itself IMO, so the official release shouldn't be too much to wait on.

We're at the middle of the month and hoping that the actual release would come out but don't know if it will. Plus again, its the TW I do like it but its just not a lot of fluff for me to keep it on. I like making my phone look different thats why I keep trying out roms. I'm on MIUI because it looks awesome especially with the themes.
I did like KITKAT 4.4 from CM but it still has some bugs. I'll probably try it out again. My friend is jumping ship from his GN2 for the N5 he's never going to see the 4.3 update anytime soon.

I wish you all good luck with the 4.3 drop..even sprint didn't get theirs on the 6th like they were supposed to.
Nexus 5 will be here in..3 days.

Well At Least You Know Your Updated On Firmware Somewhat

Well, the last leak is working perfectly for me, I was hesitant to switch from Dirty Unicorns back to TW, but I tried it and I'm really happy with it. The icons seem to have a better definition, the UI is a lot smoother, different lock screen options including the light effect swipe to unlock from the S4, different setting menu (tabs), toggle tiles and Gear support. Yes, Gear is working perfectly with the unbloated knox free leak. The Gear is now getting all notifications with text to read due to software released that you can flash thru Odin. Stock keyboard isn't working yet, but shouldn't be a deal breaker, I use swype anyway. Overall, I love the last leak and can care less if they delay the official update.

I'm loving the 4.3 leak.
Bluetooth is finally working properly for me. No more connection glitches or horrible crackling audio in A2DP.
Google Voice properly integrates with the new call log.
Lock screen improvements are very useful to me.
Notification improvements are great and work more reliably with Knock+2
I just wish I could find out if ANT+ is truly enabled as was reported for the international version. I can't seem to get it working.

Its possible there could be a couple of reasons it wont work. If its rom related, then its probably just not been implemented in this roubd of testing. Much more likely though is it is probably because of the kernel. the kernel used is the AT&T kernel from the oldest leak of 4.3, UVUEMJ2. Either too many changes were made, it wasnt yet added, or its implmented differently in tmobiles kernels.
Isnt it a wifi technology? or is it used via bluetooth? if it is wifi, as i seem to recall, itll definitely be kernel related. the sole reason for using the older AT&T kernel is wifi doesnt work with tmobiles, so if it is a wifi only protocol, thatd be the most likely reason.
hope that makes sense!

I think it's most closely related to bluetooth low energy or 4.0 .

Poring MIUI

Hey All,
I have been hovering around the MIUI forums, and it seems like they have beta version of MIUI available for the HTC One (GSM/International). I searched for porting guides and it seems as if we would need a boot.img that matches the Android version 4.2.2. Does anyone have access to that? My understanding is our partitions are different from the rest of the HTC One's, does the Sprint version have similar partitions?
Also, I don't think MIUI has the proper coding to run on a CDMA network, is that correct? Any other differences that need to be looked at to get this thing booting on our devices?
Thanks

I had miui on my verizon S3 so it is possible.
I have read that our partitions are different from sprints. I am not knowledgeable enough to explain or say anything further though.

Miui is built from source since it is based off of cm.

It's not built from source at all. It's more or less a themed modded version of cm. You build miui into the cm apps, and it uses the cm kernel but it's not source built at all.

Actually, the current Official Beta for the GSM HTC One uses a 4.2.2 Sense base...not Aosp/CM.

Right, I did forget to mention that. We had a sense based build on the dinc2 as well. It was based on ics sense 3.6 I believe.

I did not know that..so technically its doable using a stock sense ROM..kind of like porting 4.3 Roms to our Verizon variant?

So,...how much interest is there in this?
I did a quick initial port and everything seems to be working. :good:
There are a few small quirks yet to be ironed out, but nothing that effects usability at all.
Mainly the fact that the 3g and 1x icons are always showing, one over the other, even though I believe 4G to be working.
Anyhow, data, calls, camera, wifi, Gps, all that stuff works fine...
It uses the Sense camera and includes the HTC TV application as well.
The rest of it is miui applications and UI.
Let me know, as I have no plans to persue it any further unless more people actually want it.

You sir are a true ROM making machine! I would love to use your build and/or learn how to do it for myself!
Thank you for looking into this.

I just bought an HTC One on swappa. I would love to try MIUI!

Santod started a small poll to convince you in the general forum thanks a bunch

I swear if/when this is released it will be my daily driver for a long long time. Can't wait!

Definitely interested!

Downgrade from official 8.0 Oreo to 7.1.2 Nougat on Verizon Google Pixel XL with lock

So I enrolled in the beta program portal to receive official 8.0 Oreo, then unenrolled from it. I think that 7.1.2 Nougat was more smoother than Oreo. Is there anyway I can go back to nougat, I searched on Google and all the guides show that the bootloader has to be unlocked first to downgrade, but I have a locked bootloader so I can't even use those guides....any help would be appreciated

Un-enroll from the beta program and you'll receive an update that brings you back to 7.1.2

He won't will he as i.0 is now officially the latest android version. So even if he unenrolled from beta he will be granted with the same up to date notification.

Wait, hold on! Is Oreo so buggy that we would be better off with the latest Nougat?
(Don't fix it cause it ain't broke? Google is notorious for making buggy software? There's nothing new worthwhile in Android O? ETC?)

Nothing wrong with O, just think that nougat is more smoother than O...that's all, Oreo is pretty stable for me

Stable is fine. New is fine. New with bugs, not fine.

Usually new and bugs are synonymous. That's why we were on 7.1.2 before Oreo and why we have monthly patches.

At this moment, I don't think there is a way to downgrade with locked bootloader, you may have to live with Android O... :/

Oreo isn't official yet and is still in testing, what you installed was NOT considered ready for release. That being said, Oreo is technically faster than Nougat by a decent margin and any claims against that will need to see a comparison of 2 freshly wiped devices on both operating systems. Oreo, despite not being completely released yet, is not very buggy at all and Nougat had more issues in my experience.

But to most folks "Its here" means..."its ready for release and it is released.....get it now!"
but no....Google simply officially announced O's existence and finalization of its name.
and that the "final images" are now in the hands of carriers to test and use
and factory images are available to those who want to flash manually.
In regards to normal OTA....they're only words are "Coming soon". So there is NO date.
In reality, they pushed their "Final OTA" to beta testers first....then they will fix any issues, then release to non-beta users in stages.

My understanding is that is ready for release, or rather is released. Quite a few users on Reddit are reporting getting the OTA (because there is a thread about it).
I mean no build is expected to be completely bug free, that's why there are bug reports and fixes that come down via the security updates.

If that were the case...then they would have posted the OTA files on the official update page....but haven't yet.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
I have not read any confirmation that any non beta users or those who did not do the enroll trick to get ota...has gotten regular OTA.

Nah you're right. I'm living in a do it yourself vacuum so I think I just assumed based on the factory images and some badly written posts on Reddit.

If there is no ota or system images then it's not released yet. Anyone that has it is a tester. Not a beta tester but they are testing. Once it gets released even the official should get an update. Something is major wrong with this build.
I also wonder if it's supported at this point. Until my carrier pushes it out I'm not running it. I'm locked bootloader so I have no way of reverting when the inevitable problems arise. And look around, they have arisen.

What's major wrong with the build?
I've seen minor issues, like voice to text not working from Gboard without a restart but I haven't seen a major issue.
Frankly we are testing every build. Case in point being Bluetooth reliability.

People who decided to join the Android Test program and update to the OTS release of 8.0 should of known the consequences of updating to this version. I myself haven't experienced any bugs at all since I've updated and it seems to be running just fine on my Pixel XL. I don't know what those who did as well as the OP of this thread were expecting after they hit the update button.. Jeez.. are we trolling here or what?

Bluetooth not working on multiple devices is major and needs to be fixed before release. Don't expect a final build or ota until it is.

Lol I'm talking about Bluetooth on 7 through 7.1.2
Not on 8

It's worse on 8. Skipping, disconnects where there was none before. Also, random reboots, phone calls dropping or not being heard, and these are all off the top of my head. You do admit there are major problems at this point, right? Well someone does because there are no OTA or system images out yet and it's been a week since "release". Don't get me wrong, they'll be fixed in the next week or so but this version is not ready for prime time by any stretch. It's still beta imo and that's why no one who wasn't in the beta program got it.

Random reboots aren't an issue that is experienced anymore.
