Ive been looking for development on the LG Mach LS860, but I have not turned up anything besides a small thread just trying to gain support. I was wondering if any brilliant minds here knew if the LS860 is similar software or hardware wise to the OptimusG LS970? I know it has different specs, but I was hoping it would use the same chipset or similar software so that I could try using OptimusG root/unlocking techniques with a slimmer chance of destroying my phone. Haha (not worried about losing apps/contacts, just worried about having a bricked bootloader)
Thanks for any input in advance!
My justification for inquiring about this is the fact that they were released at the same time and have similar physical features, besides the Mach's physical keyboard.

No were near compatible. I found a few mach threads. Let me get you some links.

Ah, ok, thanks for the reply! I was pretty skeptical about them being the same also. But I had hope somewhere deep down. Haha Hopefully somebody will pick up a Mach project soon.....
Sorry, mach is dual core s3, we are quad s4 pro. Totally different GPU and CPU. The evo 3d is the closest device to you.

Mine is stuck on the original software, looking for BooksTablet.apk and BooksTablet.odex since somehow they got modified. Sprint refuses to reflash it for me. Running out of options on this device. Why can't they just have a reflash tool? This would make life so much easier.

So, is it possible to use roms based on that phone/chipset then? I figured using the optimus g unlocked bootloader would have been best since I assumed the software would be very similar.

-sigh- Well, id probably play around with it a little more if I had a good backup phone and if LG would give me an unlocked bootloader. Thanks for your help, if there was a way to point me in the right direction id appreciate it.
And I got it for him, I just used a root explorer and copied the app to my SD card. More complicated than what you just stated I know. Haha
bought both and not sure which I like the best...I so wish I could combine the best of each phone and make the perfect one.

The only advantage I find in the s4 is dev support but so far I'm okay with LG software.
I really can't get past how small the s4 is..I've been spoiled by my Note 1 for so long anything smaller isn't an option for me.

Agreed! I've also felt like the S4 is a bit flimsy by comparison. When I hold my G Pro it feels solid and sturdy. When I hold my girlfriend's S4 it just feels light and cheap. Having all kinds of Dev and ROM support would be nice, but the LG Software isn't as bad as TW and we've got thecubed hard at work cracking the bootloader open.
Until Samsung steps up their build quality I'll be sticking with other manufacturers.

I seriously can't stand Touchwiz. For the first time in a long time the manufacturer UI on a phone doesn't really bother me. Rock on LG!
Seriously the only gripe I have is that the contacts app doesn't let me manually join contacts.

When I do that it gives me a listed of suggested contacts to join. Its nice but not as robust as any other phone I've used. Basically if the name doesn't match between the different contacts it won't suggest joining them, and it doesn't give you an option to join manually. For example my mother. I have her contact listed as mom, but her Facebook profile is by her real name. It doesn't list her in suggested for this reason, so I can't join the two contacts.
I really appreciate the help

Well I've decided to keep all the phones( note 2, LG Optimus gpro, and the s4. I said I wasn't going to be that guy spending so much money on phones but it just kinda happened. Lol and now I can't make up my mind...damn you cell phone manufactures.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium
I had the S4 and I sold it and bought the G Pro and love the G pro Better because the more customization and that cool led notification around the home button I rooted, but I will probably never put a custom rom on it:good:
You can't because there's nothing available. I have both phones and I gotta say that I hate not being able to install custom roms. Also when it comes to updates, LG sucks. It took over a year for LG to release ICS for Thrill. Even then, the ROM still sucks and still outdated. It's slow as hell. The OGP has somewhat up to date ROM now, but I'm afraid that it'll be stuck at 4.1.2 forever while the S4 is enjoying the unannounced 4.3.
Just because it's leaked doesn't mean it'll get 4.3 anytime soon. As for this phone, better than the rest in my opinion. Gs4 is good but I couldn't stand the lag and even though had custom Rom on it I couldn't help but be annoyed by the samoled screen, especially after owning the nexus 4. Regardless of when we will get custom roms, this phone is still badass the way it is. Stock Rom updates, who needs em? Majority of us are going to install custom anyways and those we don't want to do custom just root.
This phone is the ****!

Touchwiz encompasses more than just the launcher. It's the theme of the settings, SMS, browser... the default icons. I just don't care for it. It feels web 1.0 on a web 2.0 world

I know I can set certain behaviors with apex launcher using a desktop double tap which resembled the "knock knock" feature. Sleeping and waking the phone isnt one of them though.
They had an app for the Nexus line called "PGM Nexus" that had the exact same function. Maybe you could ask those guys for a similar mod for the S4?

I had PGM on my galaxy nexus.... after getting used to it, it really really hard to live without this feature (especially after a few failed hardware buttons on phones in the past). Alongside the on-screen buttons, my phone required no hardware button pressing.
This is the one feature I will go to the ends of the earth looking for, and unfortunately I have yet to find anything like this for the S4. The reason this is such an obscure feature is because it requires low level kernel+hardware development, and from what I have heard from ponery and other devs, getting the kernel and screen to listen for specific screen input /w a corresponding kernel module (while keeping battery drain at an acceptable level) requires very very specific hardware and boatloads of very extensive, tricky, and sensitive development.
I wish someone would make something like this for the S4 (if ponery did I would jump for joy), and I would pay good money for it too.
It would have been really awesome if samsung would have included this type of feature alongside airview (and made sure they were both really really polished.... like an open airview api out-of-the-box), instead of the dumpster full of gimmicky garbage they did include.

I don't mean to bother but I asked a few months ago how you got the app working on your s4. You said you downloaded something else to do it? I've been looking everywhere for this.
I know I would need a kernel as well so what kernel did you get with it?

Don't think I ever said I got it working. The description at the time said it was compatible (which it doesn't now) but after installing the app I needed to install some extra module which is only for nexus which made it useless for me.

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.
Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.

Well like mrdsl said cm10 is the base for many of the good rom anyway and its almost done so I would expect to see development pick up soon. Especially as att keeps dropping the price makeing this easily the cheapest snapdragon600 device making it very appealing to many more people we should see the community for this phone grow a lot.

Stock ROM of Gpro is great.....and optimized.

I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)
I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.
Can someone explain how this will work? are the games rendered at 2560*1440 or is it 1920*1080 scaled? or is it up to the game developers how this works?
I like the LG G3 but I'm a little concerned about the extreme resolution and how it will effect gaming performance, I'm probably worrying about nothing and Android has a way of handling this but I want to be sure.
Thanks in Advance.

The games with 1080P Resolutions will run on 1080P resolution itself. Its like watching a 720P movie on a 1080P display. Unless they come up with the new Quad HD [xxxhdpi] trend.

I like the LG G3 but I'm a little concerned about the extreme resolution and how it will effect gaming performance, I'm probably worrying about nothing and Android has a way of handling this but I want to be sure.
Thanks in Advance.

Until everything catches up. The only real qhd stuff will be the wallpapers and lg specific apps.

Okay, so it sounds like games are upscaled somehow or the internal target resolution still remains 1080p?
How about emulators like N64 or PS, if they have no option to set resolution will they be forced to use 2560*1440 when going fullscreen?

Se those markings on the bottom? Ye, pre-release test unit with pre-release software. Even the global pre-release software is smooth.

Just give the devs some time and Im sure they will bypass the bootloader in one way or another. The phone hasnt hit the global market yet.

Someone is offering me $500 for my s5 right now as of this moment, he Gave me a week.... Would you do it?
Thanks in advance, any feed back is appreciated... Only reason I held back is because I don't know how strong development will on g3, so I told him to give me a week.

as long as t-mo doesn't pull the stunt they did with g2 then you would be able to root g3 on t-mo
So on the g2 t-mo released there variant on 10c we had easy root access and it was easily exploitable for loki usage; fast forward about 8 months to the killer kitkat update for the g2 it took the devs exactly 6 days to figure out a workaround to use loki but 13 days total because we needed the source from lg(they slowed us down), fast forward to late April early May the ls980 finally got kitkat and autoprime(awesome dev) figured out a way to root using the stock recovery and shared it with the community and suddeny there were a lot of reports that the d801 t-mo variant was not being rooted, that there devices were being wiped and it turns out that for some reason t-mo removed access to the stock recovery, it was still there but it was only there for the factory reset option and so root was not and still is not possible on the t-mo g2 all the t-mo users need to downgrade to 4.2 root and either update to kk and hope root survives for those without supersu pro that had survival mode or downgrade to 4.2 root/custom recovery and then install a flashable 4.4 rom for there variants
so if you read my mini rant I suggest you wait until after the g3 is released on t-mo and we have more available information
