[Q] New to android (specifically LG G3)

I'm an ex-apple user, my girlfriend and i decided to make the switch and I'm brand new to this stuff and I want to dive right in. I want to unlock & root my phone so i can use custom roms. Im in canada on Rogers network and my android version is 4.4.2, software version is D85210b. Can someone direct me to a link or video walkthrough guide on how to go about getting the best out of my new android.
thanks!

Welcome to Android.
The G3 is a new device so custom ROMs don't really exist yet. But root does, with root you can save battery life with apps like Greenify, and many other stuff.
For root I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000
You will need to wait for custom ROMs unfortunately, but it'll be worth the wait.

There's a lot that you can do with root access. Even though there aren't any custom ROMs just yet, titanium backup, root explorer, supersu, and the G3 tweak box will allow you to play with your phone to your heart's extent. You can also play around with this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839067 although changing system apps isn't recommended unless you know what you're doing
You need to download the xposed framework from this site http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer but you can get the tweak box as well as all the other apps I mentioned from the play store. You can read more about the tweak box here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53618482
You need root access to use any of those apps so that should be your first priority. Do some reading before going too crazy with modifications as they can have negative consequences if you don't know what you're doing and always make backups. Good luck!
Edit: Some words of caution, our phones are identical to the AT&T variant (I'm also on Rogers). As such, any apps that you replace should come from the D850 or D852 models, and anything that works on the AT&T model should technically work on ours. There's an AT&T specific forum that you may want to keep an eye on.

Im new to lg to if i may ask if i root the phone will i still get ota updates?

Root is like jailbreak for apple but in some case this is reversible but you have to know how and of course you loose warranty personnaly im not rooted right now and I dont really see the point of doing it since I came from a rooted samsung g2 the lg unrooted with just few trick can sleep much better than samsung phone you can use cpuspy to see is your phone using process during screen off..greenify is really nice to help and freeze uneeded app now even unrooted your phone should deep sleep at like 95 % wish is good !

No. You will probably have to unroot before installation or manually install the update through the desktop program and then re-root afterwards

I747 bluetooth issue - best build/kernel?
I just loaded the 8/24 nightly CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140824-0205-d2lte.zip and all seemed great on the phone except the bluetooth will not switch from handset to BT headset during a call. I can use the BT headset if I start the call with it.
I'm looking to change builds, but not sure if I should go to something like 09/05 or back to 06/17. Also, I'm on the stock kernel MJB.. Looks like people have success on the DKP kernel.
Any recommendations of direction just to get the BT headset working? Its a Motorola.

Can I unroot and keep carbon?
Is it possible to unroot my device and still keep the carbon rom? I'm trying to install my corporate email Citirx Worx. Tried using Rootcloak, but the app still found I was rooted.

No APN's
After flashing to this rom, my phone has no APNs and when I go to input the APN manually, the information will not save. Anybody have a solution?

Is your modem and bootloader up-to-date?

Unalive3, if updating your firmware to NJ1 doesn't fix your GPS, then check out the GPS issues section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40763740#post40763740
Method 1 worked for me. I had to flash a TouchWiz ROM to get into the Samsung service mode. enewman17 has a recovery flashable return to stock for pretty much every firmware if you search the forums. After applying the NVRAM rebuild I was able to restore a nandroid of the AOSP rom I had been on previously and GPS started working again.

In this ROM does 4G = LTE and 3G = HPSA / HPSA+?
I flashed the 11-06 build on an AT&T GS3. I'm in a good LTE coverage area, but the label on the status bar says 4G.
In preferred network type the only options are 2G, 3G, and 4G, no LTE. APN is configured for ATT LTE, and About Phone -> Status shows mobile network type as LTE. I think everything is working as it should and I'm just getting confused by labeling, but I wanted to ask and make sure.

can't get access to tmobile data
I have a ATT i747 model that should be unlocked. When I had liquidsmooth ROM on it, it was able to connect to the tmobile data network on its own. If I flash the carbon rom, it seems to be able to connect to the cell network (I can make calls), but won't connect to mobile data. Is there a reason it's working on one ROM but not another, and should I need to do anything on Carbon to make it work? I am on the 20141106-0907 version. Thanks.

Yes, they don't exist. They auto-populated in liquidsmooth so I'm not sure why they wouldn't here. Whenever I tried to enter APNs, they do they save at all.

I have bounced between a number of roms until I came upon this one, so far the experience I have had with this rom with leankernel has been exceptional. Great work! I would like to pick up the Samsung MHL adapter but I was wondering if it would work with this rom. I am aware that HDMI-out support on non touch-wiz roms is often spotty or buggy. Is the status of MHL support known with this carbon rom?
Thanks in advance

------*Clarity* This Rom was cooked up by @ram9200 for the G925P device and has been confirmed to work as a custom Rom on your G920P devices. So it will now show up as a 925P in certain info fields.
Since he has integrated our edge Kernel into the Rom, that's why your last installation step to flash the 920P Kernel. I'm not 100% sure what all edge features you will be able to utilize. Edge features are not promoted to work in the OP for the time being, till they can be confirmed working. Only reported features i've seen so far was from @JoeFCaputo113 in post 23

1-Look in system folder after install of kernel for unikernel.prop
2-Turbo=true or false
3-Interactive=battery or performance
4-Scheduler=cfq (noop deadline fiops bfq) I would stick with cfq
17-Why did I get a message in TWRP saying that you appear not to be rooted?

Another cool option!

The network speed indicator gets in the way of the center clock. Is there a zip to either revert back to default or just move the clock back to the right or just remove the indicator lol? Also what is the csc fix?

So I flashed v3.1 but still am having the issue. I installed the apk too. I'm guessing the bottom line is don't fix permissions on this Rom on the 920P. And since that seems to be a requirement for the fixes to work, those are not options either for us. I'll try reflashing v3 then 3.1. Seems like that should fix my issue.

Anyone have an MD5 for 3.1? Also is everyone's fingerprint scanner n private mode working? Thanks!

Wiping data required? So we have to erase absolutely everything (even pics and media) on the phone before we flash? Regardless, thanks for the rom!
edit - talking about coming from 5.1.1

Not necessary. I dirty flash new versions, but as you probably know, A clean flash is always recommended. Roll the dice if you're comfortable.

Well considering this kernel was working on Twisted project and the OP did not specify a requirement of a specific kernel, and I the kernel i had worked ok on twisted
I wanted to know if this required a specific kernel.
Also I wanted to know if anyone had a recovery flashable version as my video card took a **** yesterday and it's gonna be a couple days before newegg delivers my new one.
But in typical autistic 10 year old fashion, rather than be actually helpful you just had to be a condescending prick.
I bet that works out real well for you offline.

Dude are you serious? YOUUU sound/look like 5yr old here. Stop being childish and take this crap somewhere else. This is for development purposes, not childish BS.
Glad you fixed the problem you were having though :good:

@phelony
I sincerely apologize if I've done anything to offend you. Not my intentions at all.
The reason you need to flash a G920P Kernel after is that as stated in the following change log. The Rom already includes a Kernel, which is for the G925P .
I'm not familiar enough with the G920P to recommend a Kernel . If your device has one that is highly used, I can add it to the OP.
OFE-deodexed v3.1
Added libs from G925PUPU2BOGA to fix lib Stagefright hack
Disable increasing ringer-assuming this was happening.
Removed carrieriq
Build.Prop tweaks for media added
Added unikernel v6 0001- thanks @djvoleur
Good work on the rolling back of the google play services version :good:

Galaxy Note 4 6.0.1 Hotspot Mod?

My note 4 is rooted
model number SN-N910P
Stock ROM
I have been searching for a few hours with no results I felt confident with. I have been searching for a mod or custom ROM that allows WiFi tethering that the carrier cant detect and phone call recording similar to what I had on my S4. I am willing to downgrade lose all my data the ROMS I found are for android version 5.*.* any guidance would be helpful. even if its a paid service

Custom ROMs typically have that standard but the tx_dbs_tx stock ROMs have it as an optional recovery flash in post # 2.
You may have to downgrade if not on the update the ROMs you find match yours. Just follow the OP.

Well I ended up with an endless boot screen last night after installing a module So I need to start fresh with a new ROM I suppose

There's a new debloated deodexed 6.0.1 ROM with Hotspot based off the latest PG1 update in the dev section made by Saintz93. Check it out. As for call recording, there are a few Xposed modules which will add it such as Xtouchwiz and firefds

If you root gtidoneapps will give you hotspot on any Samsung. It's a pretty cool app. It will also open all toggles. They have it in here under development.

The best way to start fresh is to get the latest firmware from sammobile. Odin back to stock let the rom setup then install TWRP. Leave it read only until you make a nandroid then you can restore back to stock whenever things go south. I like the idoneapp for the hotspot.

Which Roms can be installed with QI15 firmware

I have purchased yet another note 4 for the grandson. His firmware is QI15. Original plan was for me to use it, but since my Pixel 3a XL is still yet a lease I might as well use it. Plus it is a lot faster anyway.. His mother does not have the money to buy one for him, so I figured what the hell, he can have it.Which roms can he use.. I no longer have mine, but will root this if it is still possible.. From reading you can't downgrade from MM to LL. But can you downgrade to a earlier version of MM? Thanks.

inYes, that is correct but also cant downgrade the bootloader/modem. That is because of fused 5, binary 4. and te old official stock 5DQ15 .tar md5 can be fashed via Odin. Any other stock firmware below that has a fused 4 and flashing will result in a bricked device.
If your already on 5DQ15 and wish to flash customer roms then use TWRP and make a back up of all partitions to external sd. The any custom rom for Sprint Note 4 (sm-n910p) on Marshmallow are/should compatible. Basically, follow the instructions provided by the rom developer but do not flash a different bootloader or modem. Other than that follow all other institution. For best results, start in setting , sustem update and turm of automatic updates then update PRL and Profile beforehand. Developer Option and usb debugging enabled.
Rooting the Sprint Note 4 on 5DQ15 still possible? Yes 100% SuperSu or Magisk are the preferred root methods.

then reboot and give it time to properly set up set up. Check if hotspot is visible setting and check your apn settings. If all looks good and it should the return to TWRP and once again make a back up and rename (2019-10-05-deodexStockNoroot.....) so not to be mistaken with any other backups. After that flash root .zip and/or a custum rom of you choice.
I use the BeastMod r61 kernel by Freeza on a N4 Dtux V9 Legend rom. Fixed issues with network connection.

inYes, that is correct but also cant downgrade the bootloader/modem. That is because of fused 5, binary 4. and te old official stock 5DQ15 .tar md5 can be fashed via Odin. Any other stock firmware below that has a fused 4 and flashing will result in a bricked device.
If your already on 5DQ15 and wish to flash customer roms then use TWRP and make a back up of all partitions to external sd. The any custom rom for Sprint Note 4 (sm-n910p) on Marshmallow are/should compatible. Basically, follow the instructions provided by the rom developer but do not flash a different bootloader or modem. Other than that follow all other institution. For best results, start in setting , sustem update and turm of automatic updates then update PRL and Profile beforehand. Developer Option and usb debugging enabled.
Rooting the Sprint Note 4 on 5DQ15 still possible? Yes 100% SuperSu or Magisk are the preferred root methods.

you know what sucks, my last note 4 for Sprint hell I was able to downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop. But since this is for the grandson I guess it really doesn't matter I'll put something on there good for him and leave it at that

I 100% agree that not being able to downgrade sucks big time. I hear all the hipe about new Android OS updates but there are advantages of older versions. In 2018, I searched for a replacement with a lower bootloader but simply couldn't find one. Knowing that peope were bricking there device and Odin fails I decided to get one in fair condition. Being the type to mod and flash yet unsure of what ir how to do that as custom roms are specific to bootloader and modem. I figured, I'll practice with a cheap on incase I hard brick. At the time there didnt seem to be specific information on what rom worked with 5DQ15. I started out with Stockist Plus tidbits Q15. My old Note 4 was on [MOAR v2.1] [ULTIMATE Note5 Hybrid] on lollipop 5.1.1. and had lost of customizations prebuild. So going from the Mother Of All Roms (MOAR) on lollipop to Stockish Q15 on marshmallow, just sucked. It didnt take long before I started taking calculated risks with flashing and porting, even from other models and variations. Stepping out side the box but within boundaries. For instance, the n910f is an international version but much of its software is compatible with the n910p. For instance, this one works on n910p with most stockish roms on Sprint Note 4. With Custum roms it may conflict depending on the setting. If stockish rom or custom rom come with a "rom control"app (interface) and .zip in the link bellow come with "rom control" app thin it is not compatible. One cool feature is it adds "multiple user" in setting.

These n910f worked for me and has the advantage of separate .zips moding specific parts but warn that one of these .zip in the link , I believe its the "settings theme" .zip when flashed removes "hotspot" from the settings. Just 6.0mm zips are compatible on dq15 n010p.

The GRX is one of my favorites for stockish roms. It can be compatible with custom roms but its a complicated process. Im guessing it should work with the N7 hybrid rom. Its relatively easy and offers nice smooth customizations. Its a good idea to chech the setting of both settem and "setting GRX" as to avoid conflict. If you find it on XDA even better. For me, I find it to be the best thing on 6.0mm.

And the PK1 hotspot mod will work as long as the hotspot is in the main settings.

Good luck to you and your grandson rooting and moding.

If you install Busybox with the N7 hybrid kernel I offer a suggestion.

Busybox by Stephen (Stericson)

I never installed the Dr. Ketan rom but I did look at the Touchwiz launcher provided in the .zip and it is a MM. Dont know why you got FC's . Most likely its our latest firmware that to blame.

Wish I could remember what it was I flashed to get that in my settings as I think I remember you wanted that feature.
