Develop Bugs

[Q] Dev support on this device?

Hello people,
I am currently searching for the best tablet around. All it has to be is some good specs, nice resolution and good value.
I would love to get an ipad mini retina ... but in my country its so expensive. So, my next option seems to be the LG G Pad 8.3 because of its strong specs and mostly nice screen size and resolution.
My question is... will any devs work on it? I would love extra support and some custom stuff to play with.
CM Rom for it would be lovely but it seems like a dream.

Yeah, a Dev just picked up one and said he is going to be working on a CM11 port for this device. I heard it was the dev or one of the devs that worked on the HP Touchpad. We have TWRP and CWM ready to roll when it hits.
btw questions go in the Q and A section (for future reference )

Also, try looking in the subforum for Android development to get an idea of what's going on.

Thank you for the replies guys.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section, I didn't use the xda forums for long and posted in a rush.
So, yeah I saw the dev, he seems pretty good and thats nice. It such a pitty if that tablet will not have xda support.
I don't see any great disadvantages with it... just the price.. but still its not that bad.

What do you mean by "xda support"?

My bad.. I meant support from xda developers by the means that some devs will make custom ROMS etc..
Also, I would like to see more people in this forum section exchanging ideas and helping each other to solve any kind of issues.

My personal opinion is that you should get a Nexus 7 because they get the best support. The LG is not bad but the Nexus devices always get the best dev support as they are considered dev devices.

What you say is right.. but I am not touching the nexus because its screen is so smaaaall - sadly.
And I can't wait for another 3,5,8 months who knows for the new Nexus. So, I probably have to go with this one, it seems the best option.

I wouldn't cal a 5 inch screen small, but I currently have a Galaxy S3 and a Nexus 7, but hey, I prefer the portability, so all I need is 7 inches, and I can use a keyboard and mouse for things that need more accuracy, but I have never been a fan of phablets or iPad size tablets.....

You need a keyboard on n7?

If dev support and long-time updateability are important to you, buy ONLY devices which sell very well and where development is already in full swing.
All else is futile.
Devices which sell only smaller numbers are quickly not getting manufacturer updates anymore, and the probability that there's a dev who has the device is very low.
I'm usually absolutely not the kind of guy who does what all people do - on the contrary, I despise those "sheep". But with Android devices, this is the way to go, period.

I also have a couple of N7s and they are excellent with superb support. However, the G Pad doesn't seem much bigger, yet the screen is very noticeably bigger.

Question: Is it worth buying LG G PAD now?

Hi i think i have been delaying far too long for my Sony Tablet S upgrade. and i also do have a tight budget. but do you think this pad is worth buying now? and i do have some questions to ask since the reviews i have been reading these past few days gives of contradictory statements
1. How is the pad's front and rear camera?
2. is the original rom really that laggy?
3. how does this pad stand in intensive gaming? and games in HD graphics as well
4.is it easy to flash roms and custom recovery? what step should i start in?
5. Do you think the processor of this pad will be able to play games that will be released next year or so?
6. Can you recommend any custom rom that boost performance?
I think this should be it for now. i know i have tons of question but i would really like to ask stuff before buying things... thank you!

1. Rear camera is great & front one is enough for Skype only.
2.No. Original rom is not laggy that much. You can enjoy it.
3.Perfomance in games is 4 from 5.
4. Very easy. You should start from getting the root access via Kingo Root. And then using the "Flashify" flash custom recovery.
5. It will be but with not so good graphics quality.
6. I have used 18a leaked stock. Antutu 26100. Now will try Mahdi.

1. never used the camera so far
2 I've been using stock rom for the first week and then switched once to Mahdi but then to the linaro cm11 build. Less customizations but otherwise really great and snappy. And it's really more of a stock google experience. Immersive mode works especially well here compared to desktop mode on stock 4.2 and 4.4.
Original rom was good for everyday tasks, but there were just too many things from 4.4 missing that I had on my razr HD, Nook color and Note3 so that switching to a 4.4 rom for me was kind of mandatory.
3. No intensive gaming here, but occasional gaming very well.
4. TWRP recovery was easily installed. Just find the according thread within the forums. I started out with TWRP 2.6.3 and am now on 2.7. Once custom recovery is installed, the rest is a piece of cake.
Actually, initial installation of TWRP was using a batch file. Just connect g pad to your PC and run the batch file. (instructions were included in the TWRP thread).
5. see number 3.
6. Linaro cm11 is really fast, even without ART (seems to be broken for now).
Up until the builds from 29th of March, ART was working and it was great. But the guy making the nightlies switched tool chain to build the nightlies and currently ART is not working. But I have the feeling that my g pad with DALVIK - with the new toolchain process - is even snappier than using ART. So I'll see how this works out once ART works again.
From my point of view, the g pad is still worth its money. It's got a nice form factor, good screen and hardware is more or less up to date. For sure there'll be better tablets out there. Later released devices will most likely be better, but then, they will set you back more $$$ than the g pad.

Help me decide LG G4 vs Oneplus 2

Hey guys,
I need to decide between the LG G4 and the Oneplus 2. I really like the expandable memory and battery life of the G4, but the Oneplus has a great processor and lots of development. So I'm interested to know what you like and don't like about the G4. What should I know about the phone in considering it? There isn't much ROM or Kernel development from what I see here, how do you like what is available? How easy is it to root compared to Samsung, HTC, and Oneplus? How customizable is it? Can you simply OV/UC?
Any feedback is appreciated!

I had the same choice has you. I choosed G4 two weeks ago for a lot of reasons. (I had a Note4)
Problem : Touch default which will be correct in the next update
I prefer G4 against Oneplus2 for : Expandable memory, battery removable, more stable CPU/GPU, great screen, great photos/videos. Good battery.
I haven't root the phone actually, but I have downloaded the bootloader unlocker key on LG website. In fact root seems very easy.

Root is pretty simple and with an unlockable bootloader coming for most if not all variants the g4 development will be booming soon...i love the camera and the overall smoothness of my g4 and plan on keeping it for a long while

Unlockable bootloader...usually draws devs as a workaround is not needed to install custom roms/kernels...also root is an easy process...also i owned the original optimus g the g2 g3 and all had great developement...i will probably be an lg mobile buyer for life...plus an unlocked bootloader on such a powerful device just screams for attention

I highly doubt there'll be much development for the g4. And obviously there'll be way more for the op2. So if you buy a phone to flash roms all day long I think the decision is simple. For me the g4 with root and Xposed is perfect. I wouldn't flash anything else than stock on it if I got payed for it.

I dont flash ROMs everyday. Before my OPO got stolen. I hadnt flashed anything in about two months. I just want to make the phone run the way I want. Why do you think there wont be much development? And how do you think it would compare to g2 and g3 development?

Agreed.
The reason we used to flash roms daily was to fix faults and improve things which usually broke other things...
G4 on latest update seems pretty much perfect.
More time spent doing fun stuff now.

That's great, for now. But when Lg stops supporting the G4 in about a year, I'd like there to be continued dev.
Additionally, there are things I'd like to tweak to make the phone more suited for my use (gov/io, clock speed, processor voltage, wifi seek interval, etc) that I dont think I can do with xposed or with stock.
How much customizability is there with lg stock? What about the Kernels already available?

I'm happy leaving voltages etc alone. It works great as it is for me. Maybe check the dev section for progress but sounds like one plus 2 might suit you better.
The plan I'm on allows a new phone yearly so so fading dev support was never an issue.

According to lgs website the g2 is about to get 5.1...they may even get m...the support from lg is pretty amazing for an oem...i also had my g3 break out of warranty but it was a known issue and lg fixed it free of charge...thats why i stick to lg

I got a private message that really helped me a lot from Zilol. I'm posting it here for others who may be considering the same thing, with Zilol's permission of course
I would choose the G4 if it was overall experience and stability. But root and everything about KDZ is horrible if u are used to nexus-like devices, the G4 is way more trouble and all about being careful and a lot of more work as well. TWRP got erased and if u boot into recovery (stock), it automatically does a factory reset with wiping media too (I didnt know neither of those 2 factors) and I lost my internal storage. I was so mad, I gave the 1+2 a shot. Well, compared to the G4 the 1+2 feels like a unfinished buisness. The battery life isnt really above average. I would guess the SD810 to be the culprit but thats not the case. Its something about standby time, not OST but I guess that could be fixed by a software update. OxygenOS feels like an unfinished buisness, lacking several important features and a certain degree of stability. When I updated to 2.0.2, I lost the search bar in "recents" and "clear all apps" was gone as well, which just makes no sense, since u dont have an option to activate it, at least I didnt found it. The next thing is camera. On short distance its fine and compareable to the G4 but under low lights its another story. the photos arent as sharp as on the G4 when zoomed in but that could be the difference in megapixel count. but the biggest problem (just discovered like 2 mins ago) its just bad when it comes to distance shots. Because the infinite focus doesnt seem to work. When I manually focus, there is a short period where its sharp but when the focus is fixated its not sharp at all. I like in the 27th floor with a whole city to my feet and the picture quality differences speaks for themselves, especially at low light. otherwise the 1+2 cam is fine but not to take picture in the distance properly is an issue, maybe it will get fixed through an update.
I recommend the G4. I like stock android but in my opinion the LG UX was good to go. Its really not that much of a big deal. The cam is great, the battery life fair and u can swap battery and expand storage. The 1+2 does better at flashing and u dont loose warranty through BL unlock, only time will tell. Once they fix fingerprint for CM roms or until M is out and FP becomes native, I cant recommend 1+2 over G4. Or atleast they have to update oxygenos bc the current state is problematic, maybe CM roms are better but right now they lack laser-autofocus and fingerprint so thats a no-go for me. On the other hand OOS 2.1 will be out by the mid of the month, so maybe its worth the wait since its a 2.1 bigger update. Im positive 1+ will give their best but at the end of the day only real life performance counts even if they put much effort in it.
When it comes to build quali I prefer the 1+2 over the G4. The leather back is awesome but the chrome finish on the sides isnt my thing. both feel really good in the hand tho but the alu sides of the 1+2 makes it feel more premium. If u choose the 1+2 btw, be aware of the style swap covers. I bought it in china in the experience store, so Im talking about oem accessories. I bought the rosewood and kevlar back but they are thicker and make the phone more bulky. The standard sandstone covers finishes with the alu sides but the others stand out a little bit. Could be an aestethic problem.

G3 or G4?

I've been struggling to make a decision between the G3 and the G4. The G4 obviously is the newer device with the better specs, but I didn't see any (official) cyanogenmod support yet for it, whereas the G3 has that going for it already. Having some custom roms available is a killer feature for me in a device. I already read that even only the european version (I'm from Germany) of the G4 can be rooted - is that the reason why there are next to no custom ROMs or kernels at all?
Do you recommend the G3 if I'm going for customizability or is the G4 going to get CM support eventually?
Thanks in advance for any help

No idea about CM but I think we all have root now. I am using the Canadian model (H812) and we have root but no unlocked bootloader.
We flash things using FlashFire since we can't install TWRP. No idea about roms, I don't use them.

If you're looking for strictly customization you won't find much for the G4. Maybe you'd be satisfied with what's available as far as themes, Xposed, etc.
You can change things up quite a bit, but it's pretty far from a custom rom or kernels. If you're not in a rush maybe wait it out a bit to see if the G4 scene improves. In my opinion it's the much better device out of the two. If anything when you do buy the prices could be lower.

I would also like to add that flashing roms can get old after a while. On my G2 and previous phones I was constantly flashing and changing things. Seemed like everything was buggy in one way or another. In the end I was happier with a nice phone where everything worked the way it should.
With the G4 I'm pretty happy with the stock software, sure I rooted and changed a few things appearance wise, and removed a lot of bloat ware. I'm stuck with a stock rom and recovery(stupid Verizon model), but that's ok!

@rick09 Why do you think it's better? Other reasons besides performance?
But the G3 should still be a good phone, right? Currently, I've got an HTC One M7, on which the battery lift has gotten quite horrible... Now I don't really know what to get - I've thought about these (In brackets my concerns about them):
Moto X Play (No replaceable battery)
Oppo R7 Plus (Last gen processor, Huge but unreplacable battery)
LG G3 (Nice overall, but the G4 is newer)
LG G4 (No CM support yet)

Ok look, if you're going to buy one of these phones so go with the G4 H815 (not any other model! because of unlockable bootloader) it will get the cm very soon, the development is very fast,
BUT if custom roms are you're thing and you can't live without it so don't but lg at all, go for the oneplus 2 or the new nexus devices the n5x or the n6p

No, I'm totally fine with CM, but will it really be actively developed given that only a small portion of the G4 users can really use it?

No, I'm totally fine with CM, but will it really be actively developed given that only a small portion of the G4 users can really use it?

Thanks for your help How's your battery life? That sweet 4100mAh on the Oppo R7 Plus is really tempting

Oh, I'm totally charging overnight. I also have a pretty huge powerbank with me all day, so that shouldn't be a problem. On my current M7 though, when my screen is on, my battery even drains while charging

Why not just get your m7 battery changed then and stick with it ?
after two years its not going to be as good as new.

The M7 is by no means a bad device but changing the battery is nearly impossible on that thing. Also, because of a hardware failure which affected the whole M7 series, all my low-light photos look like this which renders the camera totally unusable is some situation. The strongest reason for me wanting to get a new device is that my employer will pay it though, so I'm going to get a new phone anyways, it's just that i've only got a certain budget and the G4 would fit the bill, I think

Service centre ? they do this work. replacing a camera module is no big deal either.

What do you like about the G4 ? seems you are more interested in roms.

I'm not sure I'm even allowed to root the device since it's from my employer - Otherwise, the G4 is just an upgraded version of the G3, isn't it?

Why do you wanna know? I just compared multiple phones (like the ones I already listed above) and I just like LGs approach when it comes to the removable battery and the choice to expand the storage via microSD

That's what i wanted to know because some people don't care about that. Also you did not mention any other brands so was curious.
The G3 comes in two variants, 2 & 3GB RAM with storage of 16 & 32GB. The 3GB is the better choice. They did away with this in the G4 and its just 3GB and 32GB like the G2 and optimus G earlier for storage.
The G4 has a much better camera than the G3 which is the same one used in the G2 and flex models. The G3 is a capable auto shooter but the manual controls on the G4 mean more control and better low light ability. The aperture is 80% brighter.
The screen on the G4 is also better and brighter. This you will have to see for youself to decide. Then decide whether you are ok with the slight curve on the G4 that the G3 does not have. Roms will come in time but i see a number of people who are not bothered.
Have you seen the V10 ? will be more expensive since its 4GB and 64GB only. and the manual controls of the stills camera carry over to the video side as well. This right now isn't possible on the G4. The V10 is a little bigger though.
How much battery do you need ? mention your expected SOT/runtime.

I have H815 and have root, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP, please, get the G4. Getting a G3 is pointless. Think of the G4 as an optimised G3.

I had the g3 for a few days and it was full of lag and heat. Screen was also bad!
The G4 is a totally different phone. Everything about it is better except for size.

I did hear about the V10, of course, but that will, at least on release, be way out of my price range of about 400-500€ I can use from my employer. Also, I can't add from my own money because law restrictions and stuff.
Battery-wise, I'm quite the heavy user - I commute about 2 hours a day by bus and have the screen on almost all the time, but battery's not really a concern for me as I have a 13k mAh powerbank and the possibility to charge at work.
I was also considering a Galaxy Note 3 or 4, as they also have microsd and a swappable battery but meh, it's TouchWiz. Also it's a teeny tiny bit too expensive for my budget.

Hi there. I've been using the phone for about a month. (1.5GB 13mp version)
You can ask me anything about it. So far everything runs really smooth and I'm quite pleased with the camera (and quite dissappointed with the stock camera app).
What do you need to know?

Open Camera (you can find it here on XDA) and the full version of Camera FV-5. Both work well but sometimes you have to take a few shots to adjust the exposure correctly.

Thanks, will look into them, phone should arrive this week.

Is it possible to root it? What about battery endurance? You have Mediatek version? Thanks.

Hello iPp350z,
Do you test the GPS? Because i'm between K10 (K420N)and LG Zero (H650E). And on test here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/
LG H650E have little more accurate GPS.
But K10 look better
Thank you!

I'm using KingRoot and it roots just fine but I have the Snapdragon 410 version. Battery life is about a day and a half for me and I use it quite often.

Sure, no problem, I'll test it. Any specific app that you prefer? From my experience the GPS locks almost instantly and is quite accurate but I haven't done any specific tests.
Yeah, it looks way better than the H650E and it also has a bigger screen while being almost the same size. That was the main reason I bought it. The camera also takes great photos in daylight but night photos are terrible.

Well I have the t-mobile (US) version, and it has ups and downs.
UP:
1) The 1.5 GB of ram helps keep things snappy.
2) It actually received security updates. I'm. Only 2 months behind the Nexus phones, which is pretty good for a carrier branded phone.
3) Display is nicely bright.
4) SD card support
5) Removable battery.
6) $165.
DOWN:
1) 8 MP camera,
2) No USB OTG support
3) I've had 3 times where the phone audio didn't work at all. Had to reboot to get it back.
4) Screen size a little.large for me to type in landscape.
The only one I care about is the call audio issue...
