[Q] D855 (Lollipop) incompatible with Android for Work ? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I'm looking for someone with experience with Android for Work on international G3.
I've spent a week trying to get it working - and I failed.
Phone is running Android 5.0, software version V20h-EUR-XX
I did factory reset many times, even recovered firmware using LG tool - but option to create Android for Work profile does not show up in Device Policy app.
I know that everything is fine on Google Apps side - because on nexus tablet (5.0.2) it works fine with same account.
Thanks for all the feedback.

[Q] No "users" settings menu?

Hi. I'm not very well versed in Android. I got a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 for free as a promo from my bank a year or so ago. I've always been frustrated that there was no multi-user support. A year ago I tried correcting that by upgrading to 4.2.2 which required rooting because there was no official upgrade at the time. I thought that would fix it, but it didn't. I recently revisited my problem and found a guide suggesting to install Xposed Installer's Multi Users module and I did that but the module again tells me to simply go to Settings->Users (if that setting were there, I'm not sure why you need the Xposed thing, but anyway). It still isn't there.
I don't know if its because I have a bank promo model or what, but I don't have the option and all the guides seem to suggest 4.2+ simply DOES have it. Well mine doesn't.
Is this something that a custom ROM would fix? If so, is there a Absolute Moron's Guide to Custom ROMs out there for this device?
Thanks for any insight.
Edit: I guess some specs might be useful, as I see there are different model numbers associated with "Tab 3 7.0". The model number is SM-T210R. Android version 4.2.2 (rooted). Kernel is 3.4.5-blackhawk+
Nevermind.
For some reason my unit wasn't receiving the 4.4 update. I manually updated to 4.4 and I now have the Users menu.

Confirming lack of ability to upgrade past 4.2.2 on Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110/SM-T111)

Hi all,
Just rooted my device for the first time today using TWRP and flashing SuperSU. I was hoping it was going to give me the ability to upgrade my device to a stock android version of Lollipop. As I'm looking around it seems like that is not supported by the community. I have used the search bar and haven't come up with much, except a few old threads when Lollipop was just released.
I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755532 that suggests nobody has modded it past it's final android update 4.2.2. The only difference it seems is it gets rid of some of the uninstallable Samsung and Google apps.
I just wanted to confirm that there is no development going on past 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) before I flash a new ROM from the list.
Thanks.

I would also like to know, I bought the tablet today for my son, but never checked about the android version, and now i can't update the kids mode on it,so being to get it to update would be brilliant, if not i'll have to take it back and exchange it for one that has a newer version.
Maybe in the future:

SW3 does not work with Cyanogen

I recently loaded CM12 on my LG G3 D850 (only variant without Android 6 )
Everything went well until I tried pairing my SW3 via NFC via Wear, not only does it not recognize it, it makes the harp noise of nfc contact but does nothing and then stays on a very bright stock firmware that never goes off...very silly ..so I have to shut it off everytime
Already frustrated that Android 6 wasnt available at the end of three frustrating days of my first attempt at a ROM, now I am ready to switch back to (yucccckkk!!) stock if no solution is available.
I also upgraded my gApps to stock from mini (and that wiped out a whole buncha stuff but thats another story) and tried software update (but CM has its own updater which said nothing to update)
Would appreciate any ideas from the experts here, thanks in advance !
The NFC on the SW3 currently only transmits a URL to the "Android Wear" app. in PlayStore.

I didnt get you; even with that functionality in NFC, the SW3 connects without an issue with stock firmware but not with CyanogenMod - any reason for this ?
Did you factory-reset the watch after flashing CM on the phone? You need to (AFAIK).
It works for me CM11 + SW3
Working here too with cm 12.1

I'm not entirely sure what you mean: NFC doesn't do much, definitely can't use it to pair the device; which device has a "very bright stock firmware?"
Did you factory reset the watch and set it back up with the new phone rom?

Haah...that was a tongue of the slip..what I meant to say was the stock firmware on the watch was very bright and annoying
Anyway I switched to a nightly CM12 and all was well. Thanks for responding ! Now just waiting for CM13 for the D850

OP
Are you waiting on Official CM13? There are much better alternatives to be had for the D850, and if your insistent on CM, Unofficial CM13 has been out for sometime.

Never used Orion, but used the RRemix MM Rom up until today on my D851. I assume it would be as reliable on the 850. I suspect you are only looking in "Original Development" instead of simply "Android Development" in the ATT G3 forums. Enjoy friend.

Android 11 released for G Stylus -- anyone got it?

I saw yesterday on various tech boards that the G Stylus (Pro) has started receiving the official Android 11/R updates, with the first ones appearing on January 30th or so. Saw many screenshots of the update screens and read a few user reports/reviews.
It appeared that many of the reports are coming out of the UK and Europe. Has anyone here received the update or notification yet? I'm running RR 8.6.4, so I won't get the notification. However, if its being pushed out already --- I might revert to the 10 stock rom and give it a go.
Also, I'm guessing the factory unlocked and unbranded phones are more likely to get the push than the retail branded variants, correct? If you have received the 11 build, what variant/carrier do you have?
I'm running the factory unlocked variant, with verizon as my carrier (doesn't matter lol. just throwing it out there).
I recently got an update. Finally installing it. QPR30.80-58-8-3-2-4. It's not android 11, just an update. Why update if there is a whole new version of software. Seems like a waste of time. Which makes me think 11 isn't coming anytime soon.
I made a .bat to flash the g pro 11 update on my metro stylus. Running pretty smooth. Stylus options are updated as well. I dont know about the service since I dont have metro anymore and its locked to them. If anyone has an unlocked bootloader and wants it let me know.
No Android 11 update here yet, US Unlocked. Hoping they unlock the wide angle lens for photos, among other things.
I downloaded the UK Android 11 update. I used a batch file to flash the update via fastboot without wiping data. I have an unlocked bootloader and I am on Verizon. Everything seems to be working, text, phone calls, LTE.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope to get the OTA sooner rather than later.
Hello.
I have G Pro (XT2043-7) which is the retail European (reteu) version.
There was never December update here (Serbia), but today I got notified that Android 11 and January security patch are up.
Android 11 should really be called 10.1... Anyway...
Negative
1) I noticed new Peek Display – now it's the same as on G9 models which personally I don't like (a bit of ugly).
I want Moto signature circle back :/.
2) In Developer options, they removed Theming (it was the last setting). Just why? Motorola's Android 10 phones got
Theming in Moto app, and yet it was never an option for G Pro unless you enable Dev. mode and it worked.
Now is removed or I can't find it anywhere.
EDIT
In Display, they added Styles so there you go. Why is not that a part of Moto app? Who knows...
Positive
1) Phone is smoother and launcher lag with folders is mostly fixed.
2) Gesture navigation finally works with any launcher. I personally use Shade Launcher.

I'm in the US and I just got the android 11 update last night.
I don't like it On the recents screen, they replaced the bottom row of homescreen with a screenshot button. I barely ever take screenshots, but I used that row of apps constantly.
I was excited for conversation bubbles, but the two apps I heavily use for texting/messaging; discord and Google voice, don't support bubbles (yet...hopefully).
Im thinking about installing a custom rom. The only reason I didn't yet was to get this update OTA.
Just installed it in an unlocked version and now get a VZW popup when trying to turn on hotspot
I just tested my Hotspot. It's still working with no pop-up. Of course, I'm using US Mobile, not Verizon.
I've been running 11 on a retail US model for a day or so & the stock launcher is super laggy.
I got 11 just yesterday.
Just received Android 11 OTA RPR31.Q1-56-9. Was also able to download stock ROM from LMSA:
SOFIAP_RETAIL_RPR31.Q1_56_9_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC_R4_CFC.xml
Now I'll have the corresponding boot.img and good to go with unrooting and installation of OTA
Anyone find a version of TWRP that works with it (XT2043-4)?
I have received the update. After I have tried installing ROMs with no success. I may have to update the device tree and give it a go at making updated roms

Install custom rom on Nokia 5.1?

Hi all, I'm looking at a way to install a custom rom on my Nokia 5.1.
It's kinda slow so I wanted to either downgrade it to Android 9 or to install any other custom rom. Does anybody have a working guide to point me to? Unfortunately there are a lot on the web that simply don't work.
Thank you a lot!
Nokia did not share the device tree with us, therefore no ROMs are available
I also got automatically updated to 10 and it started choking itself, so I uninstalled every evenwell app via APT and switched from default launcher to "Rootless Pixel Launcher"
