Need for Speed Shift data [SOLVED!]

Installed it, but problem on downloading required data, always showing "NaN 0 of 0MB"
tried many times on wifi and on 3g but to no avail.
already emailed EA but only redirected me to their stupid HELP site which you cannot get anything also.
anybody able to download data yet? please share here. TIA
EDIT: Finally able to download. I am on ARHD ROM now, I think it should work with stock ROM also, you just try.
ok here are the game data, extract to your /sdcard/Android/data:
MOD-Edit: Download links removed. This is a paid app. No links on xda...
one thing to note, reboot your phone after you move the data to the correct folder.

from experience working with satnavs (on winmo) that use sd card for map storage, i found that some didn't always work with internal storage on the pdas, luckily most of these you were able to put in an sd card anyways - i suspect some apps may need a bit of development work to support this internal storage (different path names etc)
EDIT: not sure if this will be possible on android - but a fix (sometimes) was to rename the internal storage directory to Storage Card (or whatever the name of the SD card would be) and sometimes this would fool the app into thinking there was actually an sd card there, and would then start working correctly.

It has been like this for months now, I brought for £0.10 druing the Android Market 10 billion download promotion week. Tried on different devices without success. Too lazy to try to get my money back from EA.

Just tried it and got exactly the same problem!! NaN oMB of 0MB! ARSE!

thought i was the only one with this problem. bought it during the 8billion download sale from the then android market.

Is it me or is this stupid?
The launch icon came pre-installed on my phone but it won't let me download the content. I can't delete it either. I might be really anal but I hate clutter. if I can't use it I want rid of it.

guys, finally! able to download the data and I must say this is an awesome gameplay in our One X! Had tried one race already, woohoo.
i'm currently uploading my game data now in mediafire and dropbox, try to download it and see if it will work for you, GOOD LUCK!
EDIT: dropbox link at first post

Thanks, that sorted it for me!

Tried. But still didn't work for me. Wonder why...

Make sure you reboot your phone after moving the files to appropriate folder.

This was a really good help. I tried it also often and thought, i made something wrong. The server seems to be down. And the help is really horrible there.
Thank you very much. I have one problem, i had had also on wp7: After a while playing the screen goes off, if you hadn´t touched it...is there a solution for it? Here it gets dark and i touch it and it´s okay. But other games doesn´t have these problems.

personally i didn't really notice it
maybe the game doesn't cooperate nicely or got conflict somehow with the phone's own screen timeout setting, temporary fix should be to set screen timeout to "never", before playing this game

Thanks for the link fella
It's strange though, because i did copy the data from my Desire onto my 1X, and the game would load up, but go to a grey screen rather than the one where you can pick your first car!?
Ah well... it works fine now, so that'll do.

hahaha exactly what happened to me also last time when I copied my game data from my Arc, and lol the graphics is grey, what the heck!
it could be due to the different screen resolution of the 2 phones
good that's working for you now!

Once you extracted the downloaded zip file, copy paste the whole folder under your /sdcard/Android/data. Just override the existing files there.
After that, reboot your phone. It was there on my instruction in first post.
I hope it will work for you, the game is pretty good in our one x.

I found this link through google. Can any kind soul locate the data I would need for this game, for the Galaxy Note? I get the same error 'Nan 0MB of 0MB' and EA are utterly useless as we all know. I have tried the data from the OP and the game actually starts up but all the menu screens are distorted and when the game starts although I can hear the engine roar, I can't see anything 0_o
If anyone can link me to the data I need for the Galaxy Note, that would be brilliant!

[APP][PORT] S Voice for Droid Incredible 2!!!

All this courtesy the leak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
For ICS ROMS ONLY!
Update: Most bugs fixed.
Link for S Voice Zip for Droid Incredible 2: [Dropbox Link]http://goo.gl/od4gS
Installation:
=========
1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik (don't wipe data, it will remove all your apps.) [RECOMMENDED]
2) Install Zip from Recovery
3) ??? Profit!
Alternate/Manual Method:
If zip is causing trouble or wanna do it without a reboot, copy the apk into /system/app/ and the library file into /system/lib/ and set 644 permissions aka rw-r--r-- for both files. Profit!
How to use:
=========
0) Set the Voice input as "Samsung powered by Vlingo".
1) Launch app.
2) Use the app once the introduction is done... Profit!
Known Issues:
===========
* Quitting the app before finishing the introductory setup causes FCs in subsequent launches. Only workaround so far is to clear app data.
* Now you can set personalized commands instead of "Hi Galaxy". But, some personalized commands (like play music) will force close the app, as the corresponding Samsung music app/Camera app etc. is missing. Can't help!
* You tell me!
CHANGELOG:
=========
[*] v1.2: Added the signed version of the app to fix network errors. Thanks to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662255
[*] v1.1: Fixed FC when setting personalized commands.
[*] Initial Release. Fixed FC bug by including a library file "libsvoxtts.so" present inside the APK at /system/lib/

BUMP!! Updated to fix some bugs
EDIT: Btw folks, this seems to be only a bloody novelty! I tried calling my friend by saying his name... It successfully recognized the command and the name.. But it took bloody insane time to actually make the call!!! If anyone uses this to improve productivity as "Samsung" says, they'll lose their job the very same day for so! Well, it could be possible that since it is not meant for our phone AND/OR since the SGS3 has a quad core Tegra 3 (and the US version will probably have the S4 which is very powerful too) it may work well on those devices and not ours...
Anyway, hope a more seasoned dev than me can step in and tweak it and improve efficiency.
I'll be logcating away today and trying to improve this app's efficiency AND iron out some more bugs!

Thanks for the report. The gallery doesn't force close for me. Which ROM did you install it on? And the server error may be a Samsung problem. Happened to me a couple times too. Or it may be an issue with missing libraries... could you obtain a logcat via ADB and I'll have a look at it...

[TWEAK][APK][CWM] [update2.0.0] Seeder entropy generator to provide lag reduction

FULL CREDIT TO lambgx02!
Original Post | CWM
Guys check this out
Best result on Android 4.+
Description
Hey everyone,
So, I was experiencing significant lag as we all do from time to time, and decided I was going to get to the bottom of it.
After tracing and debugging for hours, I discovered the source of 90% of Android's lag. In a word, entropy (or lack thereof).
Google's JVM, like Sun's, reads from /dev/random. For all random data. Yes, the /dev/random that uses a very limited entropy pool.
Random data is used for all kinds of stuff.. UUID generation, session keys, SSL.. when we run out of entropy, the process blocks. That manifests itself as lag. The process cannot continue until the kernel generates more high quality random data.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? I have never used an Android device this fast.
It is literally five times faster in many cases. Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications load in about 1/2 a second, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. Task switching is instantaneous. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
Update!
I've built a very simple Android app that bundles the binary, and starts/stops the service (on boot if selected). I'll be adding more instrumentation, but for now, give it a shot! This APK does not modify /system in any way, so should be perfectly safe.
This is my first userspace Android app, so bear with me!
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.

Ryuinferno said:
Before doing anything, please read the first post of this thread to understand how this thing functions!
Read it here: First post
First things first I am not the OP but things need to be sorted out...Ok...this thread is starting to get more and more attention, which is good because with more people to test things out, the more feedbacks and the more improvements can be done...however, the thread is now cluttered by tons on unhelpful posts, like "how to use this", "do I need root" etc...useful posts get pushed wayyy behind, until it is hard for people who are really trying to discuss to keep track...so I am here to answer the basic questions:
Do you need root for the app?:
Yes
Can it work on xxx device?:
Yes, as long as your device is arm based
Where to download the app?:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1640660&d=1358063993
Or search Play Store for a donate version...
The other 2 attachments are the rngd binary and a diff patch, which are not really required for end users...
How do I know that it is working?
Prior to starting seeder entropy generator through the app (v1.2.4 onwards), the bar below will only show numbers around 100-200++. After you start it, if the bar fills up and the value shoots up to 4000++, then it is working.
Do I have a risk of bricking my device?
No because the app won't modify system files at all...anything just uninstall...
For the zip, it only adds files to your system partition...does not modify any, so if you want to stop using this, you can disable it via the extended menu script...
It does not do anything/It is placebo/I see no improvements/It is awesome!/Wow!:
Well, this is not constructive or helpful...NOT AT ALL...keep in mind that this is still a WIP...research and discussions are still going on...if it is not working or you feel no change or a great improvement, please describe more and explain...which a lot of others are already doing so......keep it up!
Seems that certain people are so bugged by the app...so...for those who prefer to run this via a script and init.d, read on...(the script works the same as the app, but with a few extra features)
=======================================================================================================================
UPDATE: Seeder_v7 is out, as suggested by pepoluan, it now detects for qrngd (built in rngd for Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices), if it is there, then it will not start as rngd may conflict with it...the rngd binary is also using the latest version (it is turned off when screen is off)...users of previous versions can just flash it over...
INSTALLING
You need init.d support for this!
Download and flash:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764755
How to use this script?:
After flashing, launch terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
seeder
You will get a menu like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: There will be NO app after flashing! This only installs the necessary binaries and scripts...
For those who cannot install via recovery:
You get a status 0 error -> replace the update-binary in Seeder_v6.zip with one from another zip that works with your device
OR
Use the new installation method!
Instructions:
1. Download Seeder_v7_non-CWM.zip from here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764756
2. Extract the zip, you will get a folder named "install"
3. Place the folder in the root of your sdcard (/sdcard)
4. Launch terminal emulator, type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/install
sh install.sh
5. Ignore any error messages (those are only warnings, only happens to current users)
6. You are done! The script will auto-delete the "install" folder as it is not required anymore...
Sample output:
UNINSTALLING:
And now for the way to clean up Seeder_7:
Via recovery:
Flash Seeder_v6&7_Uninstall.zip:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764753
Via terminal:
1. Download Seeder_v6&7_Uninstall_non-CWM.zip:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764145
2. Extract it to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard), you should get a file named uninstall.sh
3. Launch terminal emulator and type this:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
sh uninstall.sh
4. You are done! Everything gets cleaned up, including uninstall.sh...

Updates
There has been a lot of controversy about Seeder/rngd. In newer versions of Dalvik, nothing touches /dev/random, and yet many users (including myself) still notice a lag reduction. There are theories ranging from kernel lock contention to UI polling load when crediting the entropy pool to simply kicking the governor. And many who believe it's all placebo. I'm trying my best to figure out what exactly is happening, and others are as well.
Someone asked how I arrived at the conclusion I did when I started the thread back in November, and I posted this; I think it might be better served here:
A while back one of the webapps I was hosting on Tomcat (server-side) was experiencing some inexplicable latency and while stracing java I saw it frequently hanging on read()'s from /dev/random. I checked the available entropy, and it was constantly under 250 or so. It was a VM, no HWRNG, so I decided to use rngd to push urandom->random.
Dropped session creation times under load from 5-10 seconds to less than a second.
It's worth noting that Linux is one of very few OSes that have a blocking RNG device. Free/OpenBSD, Windows, etc.. essentially only provide urandom. It's generally considered secure, even for long-term crypto keys, so long as the initial seed is big (and random) enough.
Checked on my device, and saw a few processes grabbing /dev/random. /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail reporting depleted input pool. Figured it was worth a shot, so I rebuilt rngd for arm (with a few patches, linked on first page), and tried it out. It made a significant difference. Posted it up on this thread, and had a lot of positive feedback. Wanted to get into Android development, so figured.. why not wrap a little UI around it. More positive feedback, so I threw it on the market as well.
I had no idea it would take off like this and was shocked when I saw it Thursday morning. I'm in the awkward position now of explaining why it seems to work for some people, and not for others, especially given the fact Dalvik doesn't have references to /dev/random as of ICS. Theories abound, but it looks like it might be an issue of polling the UI for input events when the entropy pool drops (which never happens so long as rngd is running).
I'm doing this as a hobby. I'm a *nix admin by trade, and can only spend time working on this stuff on evenings and weekends, and the last few weeks have been kinda nuts.
I want to stress to everyone that:
a) It doesn't work the way I thought it did on later Android builds, but it does reduce latency for me and many others even on these builds,
b) I'm offering (and always will offer) Seeder for free to everyone on XDA,
c) Like I say in the market description, if anyone has purchased it and it isn't working, PLEASE email me for a refund (and let me know what device you're on if you're willing).
I was one of the first to root the Captivate glide (my first Android phone), and submitted the A2DP bitpool patch; I was active in the n900 community. I hope everyone understands that I'm doing my best here!
I hope the technique proves useful to people, and if there is in fact contention at the kernel level, I hope it's solved so we all benefit.
Version 2.0.0 attached. No changes.
Version 2.0.0b1 attached. New performance profile selector, I/O queue extender, and power saving control. Improved root checking.
Version 1.4.0 attached. Major refactoring. Service control now fully asynchronous.
Version 1.3.1 attached. No changes from 1.3.1-beta.
Version 1.3.1-beta released. New root check method during ANR-sensitive code.
Version 1.3.0 attached. Proper IntentServices for process control, and notification on upgrade / loss of root / autostart failure.
Version 1.2.9 attached. Yet another update to the upgrade/autostart code.
Version 1.2.8 attached. Asynchronous startup of rngd during boot; this should solve the remaining autostart problems some users have reported.
Version 1.2.7 released. This version introduces a much more efficient suspend-on-sleep mode for rngd.
Version 1.2.6 released. This version reverts the suspend-on-sleep rngd change which may have been contributing to new latency. I'm sorting out a better way of implementing it.
Version 1.2.5 released. This version should fix the autostart failure some users have seen.
Version 1.2.4 released. This version implements a progress bar displaying your currently available entropy, as well as automatic rngd restart on upgrade.
Version 1.2 released. This version implements rngd suspend-on-sleep, and contains minor user interface updates, more robust process and superuser checks, and a new icon (thanks Nathanel!)
Version 1.1 released. This version uses the release signature, so you will need to uninstall the old XDA version first!
Download and flash this if you dont know what to download xD Click here!

if this really works... wow
then it should be included in all custom ROMs from now on and a patch merged into AOSP

Holy crap dude! Using it now on my Gnex. Gunna give a few to see if it really does increase performance. As far as I can tell since installation scrolling in tapatalk has increased tenfold.

Would you mind doing me a quick favor? The permissions look a little different in ES File explorer. Would you install it, navigate to the different files, long press, properties, and select permissions and grab a screen shot?

I don't feel any improvements on my Nexus7, someone yes¿

Seems to work for me. Modern Combat 4 used to lag before, flashed this and played a match with no lag. You have my thanks

Nothing for me either and everytime I go into the app it shows it as off.

I flashed the CWM version because the app wouldn't stay on or switch on at boot. Haven't really noticed any difference yet, because I don't have any game that lags, including vice city on max settings, and I'm not over clocking yet either.
If MC4 has the occasional stutter then I'll try installing that and see.
Edit: forgot to mention, I also put it on my galaxy s1, and I can tell you that I do notice a definite difference on that.

[Q] DPI Scaling and Stock Apps

As title states, it seems the stock apps are a little pain in the (you know what) to prevent the phone from doing what I want.
There's no custom ROMs yet so I'm more-or-less just playing with the stock ROM to get things working.
It seems like I can't get the DPI to go beyond 530 without annoying the stock apps. Stock is 640 DPI. DPI scaling makes full use of the stupid high resolution of the screen. I couldn't stand out of the box two notifications and bam you're scrolling in the notification tab. Add a few icon notifications and the whole bar is taken up. Silly for such a high resolution phone.
Bunch of Xposed tweaks later and bam. It works like a charm (including play store). Go below 530 DPI and the stock apps crash (see photos). Anyways smarter than me to figure this one out?
Photos tell a lot. It's night and day difference and now an awesome phone.
STOCK BIG FONT (removed some of the bloat)

THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD LOOK STOCK (DPI in the 400s)
THEN BAM!!!
EDIT: GOT IT. 530DPI is the limit. Now if someone smarter than me can figure out how to get the apps to play nicely I'm down. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it as is.

What I did was do system wide 530, then set LG Home to 640 (anything lower looks wonky). As far as I can tell, everything works at 530. If you want other apps at a lower DPI, if I were you, I'd just change their settings on an app by app basis through App Settings.

Awesome thanks.

I've done pretty much the same thing as you guys, rooted and used Texdroider to change system-wide DPI to 530. It looks perfect, all stock LG apps work fine, nothing out of place except for that stock Smart Alert / Weather widget, which is fine with me since I use the weather-only widget anyways.
Stock LG launcher with Xposed, and I didn't have to use App Settings to change the launcher to 640, it doesn't need it. I simply used G3 TweaksBox to change the home page layout grid to 5x6 to make it match the looks of the stock 5x5, and the app drawer to 5x6 to take advantage of the extra screen real estate. With just a few tweaks, I have my phone now looking almost identical to my old G2 that was running the same stuff.
One other thing I did is edit the build.prop settings just as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/mod-add-apps-support-to-splitview-t2825776
This lets every app work in Multi Window mode, which is the way it should be. After doing this, I used App Settings to force rotation on the normally-landscape Slingplayer. Now I can have Slingplayer on the top third of the screen in portrait mode while using Chrome on the bottom two-thirds. Perfect!
No crashes or issues with anything so far...

For those of you that changed your DPIs, are you having any problems with the Play Store? Normally, when I edit my DPI, I also install the multi-DPI play store; however, with this device I get gapps FC's by doing that. Just wondering if the stock Play Store starts limiting apps with the DPI change.

I have a quick circle case...and I like 530 dpi...but it jacks up the quick circle...I don't know what app to put back to 640 with xposed and "app settings" anybody know?

My thoughts exactly..I hope it's not integrated into system ui...then changing the dpi doesn't do much if I have to have that at 640....maybe I'll just keep trying different app dpi changes...unless aosp comes out..then this circle case might be useless if I switch to aosp

Also, when adjusting the DPI, I run into this problem. . . and bear with me, as it's a little strange. If I edit the DPI, I can still get into the app settings; however, if I click an app to review it's data, I immediately get a settings FC. Additionally, my external SD is no longer accessible on the device. I'm thinking these are related, but it's still a weird issue nonetheless. Going to try forcing the DPI of settings with App Settings and see if this changes the experience at all. Will report back.
Edit: Couldn't figure it out. Nothing makes sense as to why individual app settings crash and the SD card can't be accessed when lowering the DPI. So, what I did instead was set the DPI back to 640 and then went in and individually lowered the DPI for all the apps I wanted (SystemUI included) down to 530 via App Settings. No force closes, SD card is readable. . . all is right in the world.

That's strange that you're having so many problems, I haven't had a single issue or FC with anything. My Play Store works fine, I saw you were also asking about that.
Do you have Xposed installed? If so, what modules?
This G3 was by far the easiest phone to root and tweak that I've ever owned, I've got it running exactly the way I want and am not even interested in trying a different ROM.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly. I have just about every high end phone imaginable, but this is my first non-nexus LG experience (not to mention QHD) and the first time I've had these problems. DPI's usually the first thing I change on any device, ironically.
At first, I thought it was the apps I was removing and maybe breaking some dependencies, but narrowed it down to the DPI over the last couple days. Even did a fresh flash today. The moment I changed the DPI and rebooted, I got a gapps FC @ boot. Couldn't access individual app settings and SD wouldn't mount. And it was the only customization I made.
Here's a screenshot of the modules I'm using.

Out of that list of modules, I'm only using App Settings and G3 TweaksBox, plus Pandora Patcher. That's all I'm using. I haven't used TiB or anything else to free or move any stock apps, I simply used the built-in Disable feature for 4 or 5 harmless apps.
I ran Purple Drake on a Mac and did the TWRP install and root check boot image option. I wonder if any of those things I did or didn't do had anything to do with how mind's running?
Also, the G3TB I'm using is the version from the Play Store, not the beta from the xda thread...mine just updated to v1.1 this morning.

I thought it could've been an over customization thing as well. But the fresh flash with only the DPI being changed killed that theory. No xposed, no modules, no app deletion, etc. Mine was rooted with PD on a Mac as well. It's all good though. Leaving the DPI alone and just editing via App Settings has gotten me the same results without the problems I was seeing.

I had the same bug, I couldnt open the settings to uninstall apps. settings opened, but you couldnt open the actual app settings.
I fixed it by doing a nandroid backup, doing a factory reset, then loading the backup I just made and settings worked again, no other changes made?
I found this out when I first rooted the G3 and had another big issue, could not solve it, did a factory reset, loaded my first nandroid, but it was corrupted, so I did another full wipe and loaded the nandroid I made before I did my first factory reset (the one that I had issues with) but it worked great all problems gone.

So, the posts in this thread have been very helpful. DPI is usually one of the first tweaks that I administer to any rom. I'd found zero success in using my normal modification of editing the build.prop file directly, I started getting force closes from system apps even when not going below 530DPI. Using App Settings module in Xposed to modify Android System rectified this for me, all is right now. :good:

Changing the DPI of the G3 really transforms it, so much so that I would have a hard time going back to stock DPI now. I had done this once before on my G2 and Note II and loved the results, but those were also not as large to begin with. The G3 comes out of the box as if it's designed for visually impaired users.
One other subtle tweak I did was set my status bar to solid black using G3 TweaksBox. Not only does it match the black nav bar now, but I think it just looks better than that gray color LG uses by default in non-LG apps.

Samsung's Good Lock

Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.
Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.
http://imgur.com/a/WpoXB

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options

Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.

Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.
1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).
Hope this helps people looking in to this.
Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.
Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.
Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.

They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.
In general, a very good update.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.

This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..

For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

It comes preinstalled on Tmo I believe (or at least it installed itself after a while). I am having issues installing the latest version of Good Lock. Phone keeps restarting and reverting back to stock systemui. RIP

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.
There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.

I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though
