Finally... - G2 General

I really did like the freedom and crack-flashing of 2 full years with the GNex, but alas, it is time.
I picked up my G2 today. I am stunned at the speed. Still setting up, but already easily rooted with a recovery instsalled.

maybe the crack flashers like me will have their "fix" suppressed with these BIG Rom files a and the LONG flash times....seriously can you imagine trying to flash several roms in a day back in forth? Man we will have gray hair by the time we are done with our phones

Im thinking its just because these are based on stock.
Once a ROM is built directly from Android source the sizes will be much more manageable. For the life of me, I cant remember how big a stock ROM for the Gnex was, because my Gnex was stock for all of 15 minutes.
Looking NOW at the Gnex, Commotio ROM (which includes Gapps) is 226MB. A far cry from 2.5GB on the G2!

You are correct about file sizes being smaller with roms built from source but there will be a plethora of stock based roms, I dont think there will be as many AOSP based roms compared to stock based, I could be wrong though. Yup the Gnex usually had file size about 160-180 MB same with the Nexus 10, when 4.3 came out the size jumped to almost 300 MB on the N10, ha and I thought that was huge. 2.5 here FTW lol
Edit forgot about the Gapps ha

Time to scrap the TB?

When the TB first came out it felt very snappy, very smooth and fairly quick. Rooted it and after some time it just seems to have no hope and I dont know why. I have flashed almost every Rom out there and it seems to work fine for a little bit and then within a week it is back to its VERY laggy performance. When the S3 came out, I got that and my wife wanted my TB. She is getting tired of me playing around with the phone and trying to get a performance fix and just wants a new phone. Should I try to unroot it and run it stock for her? Otherwise she may look at the moto razr M or the inc 4g. (not a phone I would have, but its not up to me)
The phone slowing down may be certain apps impacting performance, so you may want to look into that. Also if you haven't already I would ditch sense based roms and give AOSP a try.

The aosp ICS is snappy but a few things don't work. I haven't tried there sense version but heard good things.
The Gnex is a free upgrade btw

In my opinion, sense based roms are slower & have more lag than than others. It is pretty much up to you, or your wife, to let you know what she wants. I was really looking forward to trying out the newest AOSP 4.0.4 ICS by twistedumbrella. Have you tried this yet? I haven't been able to get past the "bootloop" but it seems that some are & some aren't. I believe you'd love the rom if it works on your TB.
Keep in mind all aosp liquid/twisted builds the video recording does not work. Knowing most women camera and camcorder is a must lol.

This is some good advice for the OP. I recall running a deodexed 2.7 or something a while back that would probably work well for the OP. It is sense based but it was very stable and everything works.

If she's looking for something that is smoother with less lag then stock definitely won't bring her that. If you're able, I'd look into getting a newer phone. The Thunderbolt is at its end of life.

[Q] GNEX to DNA

Hello there i have a GSM Gnexus running on paranoid android 3.68 and i'm not really happy with it. Recently it started to show it's age and even though i'm happy with it's design and kinda emotionally attached to it, im thinking of buying a new phone. I've been doing a research on which phone i should buy and from both a financial standpoint and a user standpoint, i decided to buy DNA. I was wondering if anyone had regrets with buying this phone or think that they should have bought a different phone instead of this?
Thanks.
This is a great phone, and you'll love it if you're coming from a Gnex. There's not as much development as on Nexuses or Samsung devices, but there's still plenty of roms choose from. I personally don't regret buying it.
There are a ton of ROMs man I doubt your miss your gnex

I don't really mess that much with roms as i don't really have time for it i just want to apply the sense 5 rom to my phone if i buy it and i'll stick with that for quite a while. Also as i find it unnecessary to open a new thread can i use any kernel i want regardless of what rom iam using on my phone or do i have to use the ones that are compatible?

Aosp roms for anything built off of cyanogen. And then you have your sense roms that just use the sense kernels. I recommend crpalmers kernels aosp or sense they are excellent

I would use viper ROM if your going sense more customizable and other sense ROMs feel sluggish in comparison. Its not sense 5 though and of course this is only my opinion.

Get the DNA, you won't regret it at all. :good:
DNA is a good choice, first time I believe I've been able to enjoy android and leave it on the same rom for many months because it functions so reliably and quickly. Especially quickly, I've always hated how android stalls as a whole compared to iPhones.
For sense 5, NOS M7 is more or less the most common and reliable. There are 2 or 3 major sense kernels to try.
Beware, if you want Cyanogen, don't expect it to run as nicely as sense on this phone.
Oh, and <3 Battery life
I just came from gnex and I am so glad I did. Not a whole lot to choose from comparatively, but the device itself is such an upgrade.
Viper is unlike anything on the gnex, and Tranquil is not bad either.
The screen, sound quality, camera, processor, battery life, EVERYTHING is an improvement from the gnex.
I sold my bought the DNA on craigslist for 175 and sold my gnex for 140, so it's also an awesome value

If you plan on getting a new off contract HTC DNA its $599.99 USD (amazon wireless, usually the cheapest) Now if you can get google to ship you an HTC ONE G.E. its the same price for a slightly newer device which IMO is nicer than the DNA and is a GSM phone so it should work on all if not most GSM carriers (if thats what they are called)

Thanks but unfortunately i'm not living in the states so i can't buy a device from google play store and HTC ONE(even the used ones) is really really expensive in my country. I'm going to stick with my DNA

Not Much Development

I was considering this for my next phone but it seems like there isn't a heck of a lot out there for it in the way of ROMS. Looks like most of the major devs are staying away from it? Is there a problem unlocking/rooting it or what's up with that? Your takes on the phone?

S4 is still the best phone out on the market....and even those of us that don't have a MDK version can still run custom ROMS, though limited. I kept my tbolt for almost 3 yrs before I got the S4 last fall and I couldn't find a MDK version so I settle with what was available and hashcode worked his miracle in giving us safestrap.
My battery can go almost 48hrs between charges with moderate use, completely unbelievable. I have 3 roms on my phone that I can switch between in minutes because of safestrap.
It's the way of the future, especially if your on Verizon there isn't many new phones that have huge development like in the past. But there's the xposed modules that are widely developed, so I think things are just shifting... why rebuild entire rooms when whe can just fix the broken pieces individually.. It's a decent enough phone, root does a lot. if flashing is that important best to stay with a legacy phone!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
There are MDK s4's out there for sale.
I just want to inform everyone that if you want a MDK s4 you have to get the brown one. My mom and I went to best buy mobile in the mall a 2 months ago, after talking her into dropping that stupid iPhone. She got the the brown s4 and came with MDK. Now 2 months later I decided to get my daughter one since they are free with no activation fee for this weekend. Well to test the theory I had that brown is probably the most unpopular color it should have the MDK version and it did so I gave my daughter the black one that came with ME7 when I bought it.And of course kept the brown one so go get the Brown ones folks! I promise it will come with MDK. Oh and you have every right to check the phone out before the sale is final. If it's not mdk say nevermind or get the next best phone that you know has an exploit. I am finally flashing again my addiction is so satisfied now. I'm running cyanogenmod 11 and loving it! I like Beanstalk too.
be cautious
if your a crack flasher stay away.. maybe try an LGG2... that being said if you just want a stable phone GS4 is fine. Hyperdrive is a great go to rom, or the possibilities are really endless with just root + xsposed

Yeah I'm not so much addicted but it's really fun flashing different roms to see which one suits me best. Hyperdrive and touchwiz isn't for me. I like seeing whats out there other than safestrap with only one rom flashable "HD" and touchwiz.. I prefer having clocking and volting capabilities I have the s4 because it's the best phone IMO. And your right the G2 is a nice phone indeed.. But I see soo many people in these forums wishing they had MDK S4. Or mad that they accidently updated their MDK s4's I'm just letting every one know that in a 2 month period I have bought 2 Brown Verizon S4's and walked out with the MDK version. And you will too.

Phone is locked down. Not only that, it comes pre-loaded with an incredible array of crapware: both from Samsung and Verizon. It'll make your S4 run like my old HTC Hero. (Well, that is an exaggeration, but you get the idea. That crapware does negatively impact performance.)
My next phone will almost certainly be a Nexus.

Maybe it depends where you get it from I got mine from a bestbuy mobile in a mall with a verizon store just 100 feet from it. so people will just go to verizon to get it. maybe factor in things like that. Like walmart might have them on the MDK. Order one from the best buy mobile in the empire mall sioux falls SD. Idk you can't buy them from places that have alot of traffic I'd think. maybe I'm wrong but I know brown is not the popular color. 2 months apart I got 2 MDK phones Brown. Sorry to here that though.
I'm not I guess what U would call a crack flasher ... I've been with my GNex since the week it hit the market. I like finding a nice stable ROM with some customizations I like and I stick with it... When I got my GNex, I ran Gummy up until they dis-banded for some time instead of trying to re-write their entire build when Jelly Bean came out. I switched to XenonHD then and ran that up and through 4.3 releases. They were slow coming out with a 4.4 build so I am running Liquid KK which is adequate. I am grandfathered into the old unlimited data plan, I get 17+ down and 8 on the upstream on the phone here, so I run the house off the phones, got rid of cable net long ago. So tethering is important to me, then just a few other things like customizabe status bar/tiles and navbar. Other than that I don't have a lot of other use for elaborate features in a ROM. Nice n clean n smooth is all. May be switching to a different phone and poking around to see what's out there is all ...

Geeb question

So, I am a bit confused here, I usually have motorola phones, but for $110 I couldn't resist getting this phone.
I tried to flash a rom that say "GEEB" in it, and I just get a get build prop error, it's an E970 from ATT.
I'm just confused as I believe it should work. Unless I am missing something.
I also was wondering, when I boot into Fastboot, should the phone say Mako or E970?
Are you using cwm or twrp? Fastboot should show mako.

Actually, no, there is not a specific kernel you would need to flash, and I'm not sure why he would have said that.
If you successfully unlocked your bootloader, your phone should identify itself as Mako. If you see E970 on gastboot, this means you still need to unlock your bootloader.

Ah ok, I thought as much. I guess I am just having random issues, I replaced the screen on it and the prox sensor was a bit off, so I had to fix that.
Now that that is OK though. I have Flashed CM 11 and I have flashed LiquidSmooth KK and JB, and both have issues with WiFi and data connection.
Is there a good daily rom that just makes it smoother and not destroy it's battery? Lol.Seems ARTMOD is really popular lol, I presume that is the good one here?

If you're having wifi issues, its possible you have an older radio. There's a thread, I think in General, with all the available radios. The ATT JB radio and N4 hybrids seem to have the most success, try the ATT JB radio first and then go from there.
Artmod is OK, but if you want stock I'd honestly recommend SnowJB. Its older but works better.
Mathsz's CarbonRom or official PA-Legacy builds have given me the best results so far, with Vanir and Commotio (which is also in the Vanir thread) share second place.

Oh yeah, the stock ICS rom is objectively worse in every way than almost every custom rom available here, Especially with the improvements in battery life brought by 4.3 & 4.4
Back on 4.2, I would get slightly better battery life on stock 4.1 than custom roms.
However, ever since 4.3, custom roms have had unequivocally better battery than stock, and basically anything 4.4 is gonna have great battery. Most days, I average ~15 hours battery, with ~4 hours screen on, and this is with everything turned on and playing games throughout the day.
And with a stock 4.4 update coming this summer, things will only get better.

compared to say the grand x max+? also which is most stable rom besides stock for lo3? thanks for replys

Yes
I've had a lot of good phones. Original Note and LG G2 among the best. I still use my Mate 2 as a daily driver. Totally love it. It will be a sad day when it stops working.
Off the top of my head (which may be really outdated), spec-wise and price-wise, I think the Mate 2 is better than any other of its competitors. Again, I haven't been paying much attention lately, so I might be out of the loop quite badly. But for a nearly 4,000 mAh battery and, thanks to some amazing people on this forum, quite a few custom ROMs, I have absolutely no complaints. I'm not replacing this anytime soon. My previous phone was used for either 3 or 4 years.
Just be glad you weren't here from October 2014 to June 2015.
Lol true. Got my own cm ROM made. And working on compiling omni ROM. Shm has several ROMs for it. And cm has L and MM as well. Way better device with stock ROM replaced.
usps says my phone will come monday, YAY!

I've actually been using the stock ROM for the past month or so, maybe longer. Actually not that bad, I like EMUI. However, I am missing some features of custom ROMs, like swiping notifications on the lockscreen getting rid of them instead of opening them, and being able to change the DPI without everything breaking.
Also, Xposed apparently doesn't work on B322? I haven't tried it myself, but that does suck if true. I used several modules back on B128.
Edit: Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Huawei camera app on CyanogenMod? I think I'm gonna switch back, but the stock camera is garbage, and Google Camera has a weird preview issue in portrait (image is squashed, but turns out fine after it's captured).

Just hope something doesn't so wrong. I have one rebooting from Bluetooth being turned on and they won't replace it.
am i supposed to update the phone or anything before unlocking?
You need to be on B322
And if it is CC or wind. Unlock the carrier lock before flashing CM etc

Indeed! Only thing to note with Candy Six is that live wallpapers seem to be broken at the moment, and Clock consistently crashes every time I try to open it. That may or may not have something to do with the Layers theme I installed though.
