Question about the BNC-GIO-ROM-R1

It may sound stupid to you but when I installed this rom the icons in the menu were in boxes, then I installed the patch-updater and rebooted the icons weren't in bosex and when i go to, like, settings the background isn't black but it is the same as my desktop wallpaper. And I wasn't able to connect my google account to the phone until I istalled the updater. I want to ask had this happened to you??
And again, please don't laugh at my questing, I just want to know if it is normal or something is wrong. Thanks in advance

Using ICS 0.6 beta ROM, apps disappearing

Hi all, I'm posting here because I'm new (post) wise and I can't post in the dev forum. I'm having this issue where my messages, apps, and display settings are lost when my phone reboots. I'm not sure what I can do to resolve the issue.
any ideas?
Did you make a fresh install or un upgrade ?
Did you install any of the app2sd scripts? If so, which one and what exactly did you do? Sounds like something's gone wrong there

Change USER everything stops

Hey all,
I'm running the Last Paranoid Android Rom witch includes awesomes features like Pie controls/ per app DPI and different user sessions (the reason i chose PA).
The thing is, when i create a new user, i go to configure it, lock the screen, rotate it, select the new user, unlock the device and then boum ! Black screen, hundreds of pop ups show up like "Gmail has stopped" "Phase Beam has stopped" "Android Keyboard has stopped" and as i press ok, a new pop up shows up ! It's impossible to use another user so i Just lock the device and go back to my session.
So my questions are :
- is it an experimental feature ?
- Am i doing something wrong ?
- does some of you make it work ?
- if you do, what Rom are you on ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

You probably didn't do a Factory reset before going to the Paranoid Android
Either that or the Nightly/rom you are using isn't very stable.
Hy,
I was on the PA 3.10 4MARCH First. When i flashed this rom, i did factory reset wiped data and caches. But then the update PA 3.10 6MARCH came out. I dowloaded it and flashed it. Since it's an update, no need to factory reset ou wipe data or cache.
Maybe that's the problem ?
I don't think it is cause i followed instructions from the official thread...
Thanks for your answer tho'

Google has limited multi-user support to tablets. I can't speak as to whether or not devs have gotten it working on phones since I spend most of my time on the N7 scene.

[Q] Few questions from a newbie!

Hello everybody!
It's my first time modding an Android device, so I decided to flash a Google Stock-like ROM on my LG G3 (D855). At first I rooted and installed TWRP using this useful tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/tools-srk-tool-1-0-1-useful-toos-lg-t3079682
Then I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly (which seems to be the best and most supported ROM...) and GApps. Everything seems to work fine but I have a bunch of questions to better understand how to improve usability and performance.
1) What are exactly GApps, and why do I find one million versions of these? Is it a procedure to, eventually, re-install them without wiping everything?
2) After flashing I'm not able to use apps like QuickBoot to reboot in Recovery Mode "comfortably". When I tap that choice nothing really happens. Does anybody know why?!
3) I've installed Nova Launcher and combined it with CM Locker, because of the interesting possibility to auto-light on the display on notifies. Anyway, I'm no more able to double tap to sleep on my lockscreen, except if I double tap on the state-bar. Is there any solution to modify this behaviour?
4) What is Xposed? How is it related with ROM, CyanogenMod, LG G3?
5) I use bluetooth to connect to my Alpine stereo in my car. Since I installed CM12.1 I need to pair the devices EVERYTIME! Why they do not recognize forever just after the first pairing?
6) After installing CM 12.1 i noticed more battery leaking and device heating, so I supposed I could install a different kernel. Is this consideration right? I've installed 777 but don't know how to measure the improvements, could someone give me some metrics to have an idea?
7) what are the schedulers and how should i configure them??
Thanks in advance to everyone who'll answer to even one of my questions!
Hi
Welcome, i 'll answer as best I can.
1. Gapps are the Google apps I.e . Play Store, Google, Gmail etc. Although you can run CM without them but you would miss out on many options.
2. Go into settings and tap about and tap Build Number 7 times and you will get Developer options. In this you will find the option advanced boot and tapping this will allow you to select from a menu when you press the button to sw off the phone, which has recovery.
3&4 Cannot comment on Nova or Xposed as I don't use them.
5. Only use Bluetooth to cennwct to my LG G-pad 8.3 and my Sony Smartwatch 2 and it works fine with them.
Hope this is of some help.

4. Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.
Note that this only works with root access on Android 4.0.3 or later.
Hope this would be helpful.

LG G3 disabled by kill switch

Hello guys, i want to update my lg to 6 android, but i cant go to download mode. I just rooted my phone, with titaniumbackup i deleted mcafee program ir my phone. BUT, i cant go to download mode anyway What should i do ..? :/
More information needed.
- What model G3 do you have?
- What Android version is currently running on the phone?
- After successfully rooting, did you install a custom recovery? If so, which one?
- Why are you attempting to go into Download mode?
- What exactly happens when you attempt to go into Download mode? Does it reboot immediately or give you an error message?
- When first powering on the device, do any error messages appear above the LG logo? If so, what do they say?
I got D855, now running lollipop 5.0 android, after root, i didnt install custom recovery. I want to go to download mode to install marshmallow 6.0 android soft, when i go into download mode, it says disabled by kill switch, like mcafee is still running on my phone. No error messages.

After some searching I found a post in a thread that may be useful to you. In short, it looks like you have to contact McAfee. If you can prove you are the owner of the G3, they will provide a 6-digit pin to unlock the Kill Switch. It looks like from the thread that it can be done online on their website. I found no other option to unlock the Kill Switch.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
I know the pin code, but i dont know phone number, becouse i deleted mcafee. I dont know what to do next, how i need to disable it.

You only deleted the McAfee app, not the entire McAfee. Re-install the app from a backup and press the 3 dots in the upper right in the McAfee app. I read somehwere that you can find information you need in there. If that fails, just call em.
How can i do backup? Becouse i didnt done it before :/
