4.4.2 Review and Recommended Apps+Mods+Wallpapers+Guides(UPDATED On 6/20/14)

Perfomance
Using My phone with 4.4.2 for about 2 days,I must say the overall smoothness and fluidity as compared to 4.1.2 has been greatly improved. Stability of the system has been increased, no lag at all.. as far as the benchmarks goes, I have been getting low scores as compared to 4.1.2(samples in attachments)
Battery
You can say that Battery timing has been improved in kitkat, I managed to get almost 4 and a half hour of screen on time whereas on jellybean I usually got maximum 4 hours with the same usage(samples in attachments)
I think that the Camera has also improved..
One more thing Battery Gets charged quickly as compaed to 4.1 with same charger..
I have not yet rooted my phone or installed any thing to save battery and during testing ECO mode was not enabled.

Well more than knock off i was interested in having knock on feature to turn the screen on...because it's a pain to turn the screen on every time by pressing the power button which is oddly located and i am wary of it breaking it sometime due to the constant use...

Can confirm, no 2g only 3g and automatically (4g also i guess, can t test)
Battery is ok, but mp decission is pretty confused, sometimes al 4 cores online without doing anything. Let s hope final build will work as it should.

Resolution To High For GPU

I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

Mine is very fluid with zero lag. Then again I'm rooted, and I debloated the phone. It's very fast, If you know a away to record your screen I'll upload a video.

Well I froze all of them via titanium, some apps in there are just ones I'm not using currently. I would freeze then instead if uninstalling them personally. See screenshots below.

I recorded a video of my screen via some app. In running nova with animations at the fastest for the launcher because I don't care about transitions. Is still very fast to open spots as you can see below. I'm sure you can see that it's fluid for the most part besides my jerk's between menus scrolling like I have ADHD

Every app on that list is frozen so yes.

Also don't freeze anything you're using because I've accidentally don't that before and I had to figure put what I did.

I agree, and never freeze anything that you don't know the function of. It can happen accidentally, but I've learned from my mistakes.

[Q] NEED HELP: D855 Widgets blink after screen unlock

I have issue with my widgets after unlock. Most of the time after screen unlock, widgets disappear for one or two seconds. It looks like widgets reloading from some reason. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, even flash kdz file, but still no change.
Anyone have an idea what can be root of this problem?

Same sentiments on LG G2...got ducking tired of it and switched to Nova!

It's not normal and it's the launcher. Launcher redraws do that.
If you have lots of apps running, well the launcher is "reloaded" when you go back home. Due to the nature of heavy things happening on the G3 lock screen I think this happens a lot.
Third party launchers alleviate the issue to some extent.

I also tried to edit build.prop file in system where i added ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, but it didn't help.
There must be some way, how to keep launcher in memory.
By using third party launchers i will miss some widgets.

To solve this blink issue, I use AppSetting (Xposed Module) and i select "Resident" in settings of com.lge.launcher2.
Reboot, and you're done.
This option let your phone to keep this application in RAM.

Thanks...solve my problem

What worked for me was force stop Chrome and dont use it. use a different browser. So far no redraw.

fixed
I think this blink issue already fixed by new software update release couple days ago. I face the same problem then. Now no more blink in the home screen.

[Q] thermal throttling sprint lg g3

Try an app called "shortcut master lite", you should be able to search for what your looking for through that. Sprint disabled a lot of stuff in the hidden menu for some reason. I used that app to disable OTA's also

Oh I know especially with the stock launcher the stutters killed me lol. I flashed barrens ROM not to long ago and running on ART, this thing flys now with no lag or stutters.

yeah i switched to ART too it seemed to help a bit but i was still seeing a whole bunch of lag especially when texting or using the keyboard at all. now that i turned off thermal throttling though this thing is like butter! im currently looking for a good launcher. any suggestions??

NovaLauncher is one of the better ones, if not the best.

Nova launcher, probably one of the best ones IMO.

yeah i was bouncing around between the free nova and go. im not sure which one i want to buy though

In shortcut master lite search "thermal" - two results should be returned. Select the following option (should be the second result returned): com.lge.hiddenmenu.thermalsensor.ThermalMitigation

Try my CPU thermal throttling mod to improve performance and eliminate lag here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/thermal-mod-t2907363

Try searching either "High Temperature Property" or "Thermal Daemon Mitigation" believe that should work.

u need root
To tirn off the thermal thing you need root then use the short cut app ... Before root it wouodnt launch the shortcut but after root now i can turn it off.

What are your settings / changes for stock 6.0

I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!
Here are a few things I have done so far;
Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps
Disabled Dual Window
Disabled QuickCircle case
Disabled sound on keypress
Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)
Installed Launcher <3
Turned off Smart Bulletin
Turned off NFC
Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)
Increased vibration strength
Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip
Installed V10 Camera Mod apk
Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)
Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen
I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app
Cheers!

And depending on model it's very risky to brick the device!

Added SystemUI Tuner to get immersive mode. Had to do some ADB commands to break my device's virginity. ?

Disabled the "ok Google" detection from any screen. I think this helped with scrolling jittery lagging in some apps.

Using the built in cleaning app has helped too. I run it about once a week or after installing/removing a bunch of apps.
Now I don't swipe away my frequently used apps from the recent apps button/screen and that really speeds up launching the apps I use often.
