Hello guys, I recently got my phone (D855) and I'd like to know a couple of stuff so I have gathered some questions that I have , so if anyone is willing to help I would be grateful. I come from a horrible experience with a Galaxy A7, good phone terrible XDA support but w.e, I know a couple of stuff but bare with me. And no hate pls .
1st)What should I know of , before rooting and installing TWRP. Like what button combinations are there . What software/Method should I use?
2nd) What risks are there? I mean I've been to situations like soft-bricking and stuff , but how do I overcome them? I mean like reflashing and troubleshooting in general.
3rd)I've used custom roms in the past, and my favourite by far was Resurrection and CM. I am willing to try new stuff but I need to know whether classic stock LG functions do exist on the Custom Roms like Double Tap to Wake/Sleep , 4k and Slow-mo recording, Knock code, LED Notifications , Quick Remote etc.
4th) If I want to go back to stock, will my warranty still be working? I am asking cause Samsung used a system that recorded any 3rd-party software changed and triggered a flag so that it shows that warranty was not viable anymore.
Thanks in advance !

Hi there Gurus !
I'm hoping you guys can help...
I've recently bought a phone which was unlocked when I got it (Android Revolution HD 7.0.2 by Mike1986)
The photo below shows the camera on my old HTC Desire HD on the left and the new one on the right. Admittedly, I could have focused both cameras on the subject better, but that's not really the issue. As you can see, the colours on the new phone look posterized.
I've made sure to set the camera back to it's default settings and of course there were no effects being added to the image.
I've also tried fiddling with all the settings (Exposure / Contrast / Satruration / Sharpness / White Balance etc. etc.) but every setting still produces these dodgy colours around everything.
It's probably worth mentioning that I've also tried the [Desire HD Camera guide] on this site and the obvious cleaning of the lens !
I'm really hoping you guys can suggest something that will get this camera working. Because the phone is awesome in all other respects !
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post outside links in my message, so you should find the picture as an attachment...
All help appreciated !!
Thanks,
Wotney

Let's see.
New phone, rooted, running custom rom, Right?
Does the issue happen on stock? Didn't check?
Does it happen if you full wipe and install again? Does it happen on another rom?
Is it normal? Two different dhd's can have different componenets.
No idea what you mean by posterized.
Bottom line is, if you've tried the above suggestions, it's a new phone, and if it's a hardware issue, use your warranty. The dhd has a two year warranty in most countries if not all.

Hey - thanks very much for the reply...
It's a new phone to me, not brand new. Although I don't think it's been used properly before. Looks like someone got an upgrade and sold it to one of these companies that then sells it on for them.
I bought it from eBay and the rom was already on there when I got it.
I'm hoping you can see the attached thumbnails at the bottom of my first post - it shows me holding another Desire HD next to the new one. If you look at the image difference - you'll see what I mean by posterized.
I haven't done a full wipe and start again yet, because if I can't get it fixed - I need to return it to the seller.
Whilst I'm prepared to do that - I'd rather get it working !
If there's no other ideas from people, it looks like that is what I'll have to do
Try flashing another rom. Go for any gb rom. If you don't know how to full wipe and swap roms let me know.
Make a backup of that rom before, so that if you still have the issue, you just restore the backup and return it. As long as you don't have all your personal info in the phone.

Teichopsia, Once again - thanks for getting back to me.
I'm going to check with the person I got it from that they'll still accept a return of the phone if I go ahead and try that.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks buddy.
Hi guys,
I have this simple question: is it possible to get GT-I9195 rooted without having to replace stock recovery?
(that is without having to do it this way : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980)
And if it's not:
can anyone provide any additional info why exactly? I mean something in a way of explanation from someone who understands the process of coming up with a way to get an android phone rooted..
do you guys think that this will last, or is the fact, that there's no easy way of doing this (as with for example sgs2) now, quite normal for a phone that's on the market for a relatively short time? Don't we (or rather those clever guys who know how to meddle with Android's insides) have this figured out - since Android is here already for quite some time - yet? I'm just really curious.
There was something like what you are asking for Galaxy GT-S7562 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171441&page=2
So, it can be done..I am wondering also if there is something like this for GT-I9192 (which I own) or any other variant.
If not why? I am also wondering as there are many advantages to that, as explained in that thread by the OP..
Let's hope someone will read this and provide..
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to this modification world, started when I received my Zenfone 2 out of necessity since ZenUI is very poluted and ended up enjoying it
So, right now I'm using SuperZen (super basic) just to get rid of the endless bloatware that comes with the phone... my question is: what is the best overall rom right now for someone who is starting and want something very clean?
Other thing, the double tap feature still working in these others roms or just in stock? Cant live without it, I came from LG G2 and I cant stand at clicking the power buttom anymore... I know that sounds idiotic but is really cool to have this feature...
Hey guys, good morning. I am sorry to bother you but I couldnt get all the info i needed. So i recently returned to android after 2 years and i almost lost touch of how every thing works.
I have a google pixel2 xl and i wanted to install some custom roms. Thing is i dont wana lose the camera or performance. Can someone tell me if i will lose the camera quality and stuff? I couldnt find an answer elsewhere and having used sony and samsung i do know you will lose your camera drm and other stuff. And if the answer is no can someone link me to all the necessary files and pages to the best custom rom. Thank you much. Again i know how this works and posting something like this not cool to others but i will appreciate if I can get some help..
Camera works fine. Let me save you a few days. Try out dirty unicorns first.

Look over the linked thread about unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Then you'll be ready to start flashing roms. :good:

Dirty unicorns and ressurection remix used to be my favorties, sag but cyanogen is dead long back lol
Nice roms on the development section, try some and enjoy it!
Hi everyone,
A few days ago that I have this device (european 12/256 version) and I'm already thinking about putting a custom rom , it seems that OOS is no longer what it was ....
Reading some of the comments I have a few questions:
Is it true that in all custom roms there is strange stuttering (does not run smoothly)?
With magisk hide option, the gpay runs well ?
What are the differences between the gcam and the stock camera ? (we lose video quality, monochrome type option? something else?)
There aren't many videos on youtube about custom roms and our one plus 9 pro, so if I decide to install one, I will upload some videos talking about it.
thanks in advance!
I'm in the exact same sutuation that you're in right now
Losing the stock camera would be the biggest blow for me. Gcam is good and all but not in every situation.
I'd love some feedback aswell so I start rocking some ROMS on this beast!
Idk I have flashed a few custom roms on my 9 pro. Only thing I really have issues with is gpay and and Android auto and Bluetooth syncing. Like I have a media player that has a USB port I plug my phone in and it goes directly to Android auto. But if I have a custom in it won't connect at all. And gpay it won't let me use it at all but I haven't really tried to hide with magisk either. The custom roms are awesome but I think as of right now cause the changes in 11 and 12 happening everything is off in some sorts.

Hopefully someone else can give us some feedback on their experience with gcam or if anyone knows if someone are trying to port the stock app.

When I decide to do it I will publish a post similar to the ones I did for the v30 and the mi9t pro, I think that way we can help people not to get lost in the customs and kernes post.

In fact all Lineageos based ROMs (lineageos crdroid etc)suffer from strange stuttering ,only Paranoid defaults globally to 120hz(run smoothly in app).This problem is still unresolved for developers
Thanks for your comment, is there a video where I can see it?
