I've already rooted my Lg G3 with Stumproot. But, now im trying to install eXtremebeats Studio Mod..
I know this will make the battery run out quicker but I still have a few questions about installing this mod
- Do I need to do a backup prior to installing? If yes, how?
- Any ballpark on how much quicker the battery will be sucked?
- How do I install for a total noobie? No clue how to mount or whatever it means.

I'm pretty sure that mod requires a working custom recovery which we don't have yet. We currently don't have a way to make a backup easily and no reliable way to flash zips. I suppose you might be able to sideload the zip but if it messes something up the only way to get your phone working again would be to use the LG Flash tool to flash all the way back to stock.
At this point I would would reccomend waiting until we get some sort of custom recovery before anyone tries to flash anything.

Like already stated above, you'd need a Custom recovery to flash that mod which unless you have a TMobile G3... We don't have.
I believe somewhere on here there is a working version of DSP Manager that works with our phones, maybe try looking into that.
If you're new to all this rooting and modding I suggest you do a lot of reading before you try anything. Without a custom recovery and a nandroid ( backup ) to fall back on you run the risk of having to flash your phone back to stock using the lg flash tool. You'd end up starting over from scratch at that point which can be very annoying depending on how much you've already nodded your phone plus you'd lose all your data etc...
makes sense, thank you for the explanation both of you guys

I've heard that Viper4Android sucks out a lot of battery and that is the reason I preferred installing a different sound mod. Plus I liked some of the sound processing that eXtremebeats had to offer. So, this leads me to a few more questions for good sound using V4A:
- Does Viper4Android suck out battery only when music is being played or does it suck out battery all the time?
- Is the amount of difference it has on the battery poor? (I listen to music for an hour or two at a time)
- How's the audio rendering? I'm read that the XHifi mod is for people with poor sources but all my sources are 320kbps AT LEAST. So does this mean the FX is for me and does it also mean the FX which I turn on when playing will make a difference? (obviously EQ ones will)
- Is it easy to uninstall? (Say I'm not happy with battery life (important), will it be easy to uninstall the app?)
There is the Chinese recovery apk in the general forum. Works great for me. I flashed the Pure Audio mod myself.

Although that recovery may have it's uses as far as flashing various zips... It's not really a recovery. You can't restore a backup and that for me and many others is a deal breaker.
Its just too risky.

I know what you're thinking "We already have root, why do we want and/or need this?". Well, if you followed the root thread, you would have seen that the package posted was built off of two images. There was the early firmware posting that it was first made from, then a system pull in a rar archive that was used to put the root package on the latest firmware. In the processes, there were issues with permissions and other items missing. The people involved did a great job with what they had, but I don't like hacked up solutions to problems.
So, to fix that, I had a stock system.img for the release firmware. This allowed me to build a fully stock root package with no missing files or incorrect permissions. While it took some time to get this tested and verified working without having the device, I was able to get it. Thanks goes to Adrynalyne, Mibix, and AstainHellBring (and anyone else) from IRC for testing several packages (Freenode, #galaxy-note-2). This is only the start of things to come, and I plan on slowly working on a ROM based on this then. I also made a deodexed version of the same package. Download and flash that if you wish, but it was more to verify that nothing broke in the deodexing process and to get a working base for a custom ROM.

INSTRUCTIONS
Download one of the above packages for flashing.
Extract the file (7zip works to extract).
Open Odin (download that elsewhere), and put the extracted tar.md5 in the PDA spot
(Re)Boot your phone into download mode and plug it in to your computer
With it recognized in Odin, press start
Once the phone boots up, all should be well. If you notice issues, boot into recovery and wipe data and this should fix the problems.
If you still have issues after wiping the /data and performing a factory reset, please post here.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any ill effects caused to you, your loved ones, you phone, or anything else as a result of flashing this. Do so at your own risk as I won't be held responsible.
Saving this one too, just in case.
I'm nuts about imnuts! Its great to have you here! Can't wait for one of your ROMs.
So just for clarification, this is a newer version of system than what the other root package was?
I will probably flash the deoxed version anyone, but just checking.

Same "version" as the last one created by Mr Robinson, just that it was built off of a system.img of the shipping firmware that preserved all permissions on the files. Functionally, this should be basically the same as what was done earlier, just put together in a less hacked up manner.

I do believe that's really for doing themes etc. (Makes it easier, that is)
Thank you. I ran your droid charge roms. Do u plan on get a note2?
Oh I wasn't sure if it litened it up or sped it up in any way. Would u see any reason to flash this over or in place of the first one I have now? All seems to be working fine.
What happens to all the mods that we have used on our phone, e.g. replacing files. I have changed my status bar and changed it so I can use MW with all apps.
Is this like the other one where are apps are not deleted?
Could yuo explain the advantages of the deoxed version vs. this one?
I will d/l both to keep on hand and thank you imnuts for putting this together. Does this address the lag with the screen turning on. I did of course wipe cache, etc, etc. when I rooted the first time. Remember kids, always wipe when you're done

If you already have root and/or have done other changes to /system, then there isn't a need to flash this. It is meant more for people that haven't yet rooted. If you have only done root, this shouldn't change anything for you. If you have rooted and made other changes (deleting apps/etc.), then it will undo those changes, and possibly force you to factory reset. Nothing has been deleted from either package, just root and busybox being added.
Deodexed v. stock is mainly for ease of modification. After the first boot, there is no speed difference in the two, though you may save a little bit of storage on the stock version. Functionally, they are identical, just that if one was looking to theme or make other changes, it is easier to do on the Deodexed version. I plan on starting a ROM then, maybe with the help of a few people, and this will start with the deodexed version and will get its own thread if it comes.
Just to answer any future questions, if you're already rooted, you don't need this. It was created as a better starting point for anyone that has not yet rooted their phone.
Thanks for clearing that up imnuts. So seriously though, no performance differences between the two? I find that weird if the permissions are all messed up in the original. I'm planning to root my sister's phone tonight, and it wouldn't be hard for me to do mine again tonight either if there is some reason for it, from the sounds of it, there isn't
Looking forward to your future stuff, +1 anyways.
I may have to try both and see which is is best for future efforts.

Just curious how much money do you already have for the Note 2? I don't know much about you, but I already donated to Adam & Beans, I don't see why we can't help you get the phone as well. I'm willing to donate if we can get a thread together. It only helps the community..

I don't know if there are permissions issues with what was out, but given how it was made, it could be possible that one or two of the items with special permissions was missed, and without hitting a specific usage scenario, you'd never know. I think that given what MrRobinson was working with, he did a great job :good: I haven't actually compared what I have with what was previously out other than to verify that all files were present, I wasn't looking at permissions.
As for what's best for future efforts, it's going to be easier to theme and mod the deodexed version.
I do plan on building a ROM then starting next week, but progress will be slow (this alone took a week to get everything sorted properly).

Im not sure if this is the correct area to post this, so please feel free to move me if needed.
Im coming from NC5 HyperDrive release 19. Im realizing i dont use the majority it has to offer and would like a way to flash the stock version. It would be great if i could also remove the safestrap program. I am thinking about flashing a GPE rom and use xposed for what tweaks i do need, that way i have full control over what bloatware i have on my phone.
Any help would be appreciated

yeah wrong subforum, but you need safestrap if youre gonna use a GPE rom simply because we can't flash a ROM any other way on this useless device. also, good luck. I'm stuck with HD until i try GPE again, I personally have not had a fully functional GPE ROM. Sure they run great but either WiFi, or data, or voice is broken at any given point. Hope they gives you an answer

Hey guys, so the last phone I rooted and had a bootstrap on with custom roms was the Motorola Droid x2. We couldn't even get into the kernel. So with that being said I've acquired super user on my g3 months ago to freeze apps. But now I don't depend on my phone like I did then for work. So I want to do the whole thing and I'm unsure what choices to make. I'm not looking for a guide for installing stuff (at least not yet ) just trying to get suggestions and hopefully good recommendations.
So here's the main point for the post
TLDR!!!!!
Current android version 5.0.1
kernels- unlock it? Change it? Not sure what all you can actually do with that.
Bootstrap- clock work mod? Or any other one can't think of names but need something to load roms
Rom for battery and power- cyanogenmod is what I use to run on the x2 not sure if it's still one of the best?
Anything else I missed that I should get and check out?
Thanks in advance
Put TWRP custom recovery on your phone with the autorec TWRP app by @bender_007, in the General section of the non-variant specific G3 sections. Once you give the app superuser permissions it looks like it's hung up but give it 10-30 seconds because it's backing up your current recovery. Then click the button to install TWRP. Download the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 from its thread also somewhere in the G3 sections, and flash it from your current TWRP.
I use @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM, which is based on the latest official LG ROM, build 35B, based on Android 5.1.1. Very happy with it, very smooth and great on battery.
I haven't heard the term bootstrap with regards to custom recoveries. I'd suggest just calling them custom recoveries.
Thanks for your input it's been a while after I read it I was like yep it's custom recoveries lol thank you again

its you. i used a pc to access the site most of today and haven't had an issue.
Alright thanks I'll look into my pc then. Also I haven't decided if I want to flash a custom kernel I don't know what all it can change any advice?
Since I haven't seen any other threads on this topic, I figured I'd go ahead and get the ball rolling for anybody interesting in building a custom ROM. As the title suggests, this is a completely deodexed system image for the latest firmware update we recently received.
Just to clarify, this is a (mostly) stock base, and is intended to serve more as a foundation/starting point for anyone looking to build their own ROM.
I took the liberty to update all applications to their newest/current version and preinstalled busybox, which should save everyone a considerable amount of time and data. I also removed about a dozen or so apps that don't serve any beneficial purpose to the phone, but I will still include them in the download link for anybody that wants them for whatever reason.
You will obviously need to be rooted in order to flash this through recovery, so unfortunately if you are one of the unlucky souls that lost it with the update, you'll have to wait for a custom tot to surface before you can flash this.
I've been running this image for the last couple weeks or so and haven't encountered a single issue, but you should still make a backup of your current setup prior to flashing just to play it safe.
Nothing special needs to be done when flashing it, just the standard factory reset along with SuperSU and you should be good to go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and hopefully you like it!

Yes, for simplicitys sake I chose to use an image in the zip instead. Not knowing if anybody would even be interested in this, it seemed like the logical route to take. Though you might have found other ROMS that are directory based for our phone, I doubt you've found another that's already predeodexed for you. Its also extremely simple to extract this image into the filesystem that you're looking for, but not the other way around.

Hey all, I've been having a lot of fun playing pokemon go but recently the newest version of the game has blocked users who have rooted phones, there's a hack called magisk that will allow the root to be toggled off while the game is being played and then back on when it is not. I am having no luck installing it though.
Has anyone else tried and succeeded to run this mod?
I'm running OL1 (5.1.1), stock rom.

I'm running it now. Although I've read that it can be done without doing a full Factory Reset, per the instructions, I wasn't able to make it work. There's a tutorial from Android Police that explains everything and provides links to the various files needed. Google search "magisk Pokemon go". You'll see the link. It's not too complicated of a process but make sure you have everything backed up.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all that sounded pretty much like everything else. I've tried nearly every combination of flashing files, unrooting, leaving root. When I unroot I cannot boot to the OS, I was able to play the newer version when I unrooted but I don't think I'm going to do that. Guess I'll just play the old one as long as I can before the force the update and then maybe stop playing :-/

I also have had no luck installing it. I have a sm-g900h on marshallow 6.0.1 and I've tried 5 times on doing it, but it still won't work. I've looked for a week for different drivers and archives to do it but I can't find any that work.
I'd really like help because I'm a total newbie in this and I don't know what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

Yeah, I considered upgrading to Marshmallow because I've seen videos of it working for an S7 edge running Marshmallow and thought that Magisk may have had better support with 6.0. I really hope I don't need to get an S7 to get the game to work while rooted...The S5 is still a much better featured phone IMHO and I'm going to use it until it doesn't work anymore because it's so rock solid.
I already solved the problem I had installing it.
Turns out I was replacing the compatible version of super su that comes in the .zip without noticing.
It was all because I didn't read the instructions provided and let TWRP install the super su before rebooting.
I just didn't let TRWP install super su and it worked like a charm.

And this is on Marshmallow or Lollipop? I'm going to try updating to MM and then trying the magisk stuff again, maybe that's the key.

Malbert says he'll cook magisk into the next version of his Area 51 MM Rom.
