So I'm still on stock LG ROM.
I have always liked and used AOSP ROMs on all my previous phones and now I want to use Android 4.4.2 but I have please some questions about these ROMs for our G2 before going into this:
1-Un-intrusive calls: (call popup)
Does "call heads" or "call popout" from play store work perfectly and can replace original LG implementation of this feature?!
1'-Does OmniROM implementation work perfectly always like LG's?!?
2-Call recordings:
Is there is any call recorder apps that work on these ROMs like the xposed module of G2?
I mean clear phone call recording of BOTH ends (perhaps on kernel level).
3-Screenshots editing
Is there is any app that is similar to quick memo and allows quick taking, editing and sharing of screenshots on the go?!
4-Screen casting (Miracast)
Does screen casting on these ROMs work like on stock LG?
I have a smart TV and I cast photos, videos etc... to my TV with just a simple click.
5-GRAM
Does GRAM work on these ROMs as far as you know?
6-AOSP camera
Is now AOSP camera 13MP or it is still on 8MP?
How is its quality compared to LG one?
7-FM radio
Any way to get FM radio working on these ROMs?
8-Stability and bugs
How is stability on these ROMs? Any known bugs?
Is there is any nasty wakelocks or something to worry about?
Does YouTube works?
Gaming performance?
9-Battery life
How is battery life compared to stock?
Please include numbers/screenshots if possible.
10-Exchange emails
I have always had bad experience with Exchange emails on AOSP ROMs.
Push email never allows phone to go to sleep and even with high intervals as high as 4hrs I still had like 2 hrs of wakelocks due to this email.
This LG G2 is the only phone where I have none of these issues.
11-LTE
LTE on these ROMs?
Thank you all for answering all these if possible :victory: :fingers-crossed:
That's quite a list you have there. I think you'd be better off making a backup of your stock set up and then flashing a ROM and testing out some of these questions for yourself.

Excuse me to say that you're both trying to be smart!
First, I will install some AOSP roms anyways.
Second, still after doing so, many of the clarifications I asked about will still be unknown to me since I am about replacement apps or methods that I don't know or others...
Bottom of the line, if you're helpful you are most welcomed, if not please don't answer! That's better for your image!

Seriously.. I don't want to be an ass. But flashing and testing for yourself would have been faster than writing your post.. Just saying.
Merry Christmas..
Nobody is trying to be smart with you Life Engineer. The fact is, your best source of information for a comprehensive list such as this, is Google and your own trial and error.
Here in the troubleshooting section of the G2 forums, it's very off topic to be asking some of these questions, like the specific ones looking for replacement apps or that one about battery life and explicitly requesting empirical evidence.
None of us are trying to be rude here, it's just that what you're asking for someone(s) to do, comes across as your own dirty work. And honestly, I don't think anyone that reads this is going to give more than maybe one straight answer.
In any case I wish you the best of luck and hope you find what you're looking for.

Did not Jesus also preach something like,"it is better to teach a man to fish than give him a fish."
Find a rom in the forum of your carrier you find interesting and try it. Most of your concerns can and will be answered there.
Happy Holidays
just make sure you make a nandroid backup of your stock rom :good:
you'll never know when u might need one

Please take a look here and understand that your "Jesus' favorite wisdom" is an idea that is part of every religion/ethic that ever existed and by that way older than the story about Jesus itself.

Can I donate to you for this genius answer?
Strange, but I almost thought this was the Q&A section, exclusively for what this individual is doing asking questions for which he seeks answers to.
Since the lot of you have obviously no answers that help this individual with his very specific questions that are simply answered with a yes or a no, could you kindly refrain from commenting at all and possibly crawl back into the holes from which you have come.

I dunno about any ROMs having call recording integrated into the ROM but I do know that Call Recorder should work just fine.
Screen recording and screen casting works on PAC-man and ChameleonOS 4.4 ROMs, as well as plain ol' CM-11.0 with the Screencast app
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cyanogenmod.screencast
Still not sure about GRAM. I was actually looking for some more info on it when I stumbled across this thread.

I see the author of the thread in the "Themes and Apps" section about this asked that his thread be deleted. Possibly because (according to the signature) the OP of that thread has a I9500 and not a I9505? Either way, the OP of that thread should explain themselves so people don't mess their phones up.
Anyway, there is an App that I have used with my S2 Skyrocket that works great for recording calls. It has a different interface than the other method, but works well. I have not used this App on my S4 yet, but a couple of the reviews seem to point to the fact that it works well with the S4.
If you want to check it out, here is a link:

**EDIT**
I see some reviews say it works with the S4 and some claim it does not...(as usual)...so you might want to Email the APK creator about support if you are interested in the App.

Let me know if you install it and it works. Like I said, it has mixed reviews for the S4, some say it works, some say it does not. I have a feeling people aren't setting it up correctly. I will try it when I can get around to installing it, but it might be a few days. Thanks.

I Emailed the "Call Reorder" app developer and he said that the "call recorder" app didn't work on the S4 yet. He said it was because of the QUALCOMM chipset and that he was working on it. He said it is working on the Octa version though. Maybe that explains the mixed reviews on the Play website. I have to wonder about it because it initially was not supported on the Skyrocket, yet it has worked for my flawlessly on that phone for me. I wonder if it just has to be set up in a certain way? If anybody gets it working on the AT&T S4, let us know.

I've been using Call Recorder on all my Samsung phones (SGS2, SGS3, Note 2) - I really know it inside-out - excellent app btw. For the moment our phones (SGH-I337(M)) are NOT officially supported and although you it may work on other settings, the sound is terrible (almost unusable). I tried all possible combinations without much success. On the other hand the developer is very quick at updating the app and addressing bugs so there is hope

I flashed my phone with a WanamLite ROM and it's working now
Nottach's Mint Jelly ROM with his Xposed module has it as well.
i am looking for a good stable daily driver and came across one that i think is gonna be a keeper for a while. but i am curious to see who likes what and for what reasons. Battery? Speed? Bloat? Style? i also think it would be cool if you added a link to the Roms thread so people can try out your favorite for themselves. i am currently flashing up the ladder to achieve the proper build that will allow me to flash the new rom without hiccups and will give my 2sense when i have had a chance to give it a throttling.

Agreed.
Tried them all and absolutely loving Sacs Note 5 Moar port. You can't get it on the forums - you have to pm Sac and he will invite you to his hangout.
Only negative on this rom is battery life. If you are one of the folks out in the wilderness with no power or just afraid or to lazy to plug your phone in - this might not be the best rom for you. Though some folks do get good battery life. Some do not.

That underground moar port isn't something that I would recommend to anybody. It is not able to be publically released here at xda-developers.com because permission was denied to port that rom for very good reasons. Secondly that rom was not built correctly and it has major problems and will most certainly overheat and damage your cpu and/or battery. I do not recommend anyone to flash or run that underground rom. There's a good reason why it is not a publically released rom and why it has yet to be finished and done correctly. He would have to copy my work to resolve his issues if he hasn't already. Ofcourse i have seen him state that he is going to rebase his N5 ports with my rom. Waiting for that o be posted so we can finally get rid of this type of behavior once and for all. Too bad he can't build his own rom from scratch like I did.
So no this is not a rom that should be recommended to the OP. Just my opinion and my advice to those who are unaware of these things. People deserve to know.
Yes man i really like your n5 port im using it..
Hello, two questions:

For me it's dirty unicorns. It's really stable and the latest weekly has the camera running superb for me so far with Snapchat and the inbuilt camera app. Also has the most kernel customizations out of every 7.1.1 custom ROM. Highly recommend you to try it out and see for yourself since ROMs are based on personal preference.
And I would recommend: next time ask such questions in the Q&A section or even general section but NEVER in android development section.

Don't take this the wrong way since it is a sincere question. Why not in a developer thread? I have been a member of the CM11 thread until the project ended and it was a developer thread, the ONLY place you could get up to the minute, real help for the custom rom. It was a developer thread especially made for this rom.

Because the question is generic. Fur the most part the development sections should be geared toward resolving issues with ROMs and/or what features the ROM may need improvement on. Asking what people think is the most stable ROM or what not sure not contribute to development.

That is a good answer. No one should be in developer threads asking what is the best rom, etc. But to join a rom specific developer thread is a good place to post rom questions for this device. We need *some place* to discuss this and IMHO, the developer threads are the best, where you get the best answers, and most serious places to get answers. With that in mind, one has to behave accordingly. I.e.: No clowning around for best rom, best games, pokemon, or any other out of place questions or comments. You have earned your Thanks. Thanks!
EDIT: "Generic" question, that is the significant part I missed. There are plenty of places to discuss generic rom questions but not in a developer thread. For specific questions, I would imagine there are threads for that. My CM11 thread was quite specific so the Q&A was most welcome there. :good:

Please read up on it in the forums dedicated for the ROM. That is part of the purpose of those forums: to report issues and allow people such as yourself to determine if the ROM will work for you by reading through them.

I have read through them all. There is no sufficient information. Everyone is like thank you so much for this without saying any issues, so after installation I found everything was broken.
When u ask also people come and say "why don't u try it for urself?" What sort of theory is that? last time all ROMs used to have a section at least for bug list of features that doesn't work, but none of the new ROMs have that. Its like we have to take a medicine without knowing the side effects to know only about them after trying it.

Camera is now stable. Flashlight not as much. Its mostly just slow. Everything else is now stable and is my daily driver, I've been using it not because the camera is better. I havnt found anything broken. Gonna try truepure stock rom today just because I sorda miss it. But I'm gonna stick with dirty unicorn because its working perfectly for me now with mini dynamic apps. Also open gapps aroma also work great.

11.2 RC is what I recommend. That didn't have any problems what so ever except flashlight. I'm on the latest weekly and there is just small changes that don't matter much except viper for android can work on enforcing and magisk is in the settings menu now.

Aicp April nightlies have been amazing, huge upgrade over previous Roms for me, including previous versions of AICP itself. Battery life is poor currently, but everything is buttery smooth and snappy (v4a, Substratum, pixel launcher, moto camera and gallery all working flawlessly). I'd highly recommend trying it, even if you have previously. I just switched my color profile to "deep black colorful" as well and i must say I'm really loving my phone again.

Camera is now stable. Flashlight not as much. Its mostly just slow. Everything else is now stable and is my daily driver, I've been using it not because the camera is better. I havnt found anything broken. Gonna try truepure stock rom today just because I sorda miss it. But I'm gonna stick with dirty unicorn because its working perfectly for me now with mini dynamic apps. Also open gapps aroma also work great.

11.2 RC is what I recommend. That didn't have any problems what so ever except flashlight. I'm on the latest weekly and there is just small changes that don't matter much except viper for android can work on enforcing and magisk is in the settings menu now.

I had major problems flashing DU when I tried. I did a full wipe and tried 3 different gapps, including the recommended mini dynamic gapps and I got constant google play services force closes when it booted up. I couldn't even get to settings to try to close or mute something to look around at what was causing it. I'm using Ground Zero Roms Validus and its great for the most part. Still want to try DU though if I can figure out that issue.

That's weird. I never had that problem before. I might flash the ROM and gapps and make a backup and maybe install it to Android file host so you won't run into any problems. I use open gapps aroma and change the SMS app, clock, calender, and other stock apps for Google apps and it worked fine for me. Even dynamic gapps worked fine. I don't know what the problem could be.

I have read through them all. There is no sufficient information. Everyone is like thank you so much for this without saying any issues, so after installation I found everything was broken.
When u ask also people come and say "why don't u try it for urself?" What sort of theory is that? last time all ROMs used to have a section at least for bug list of features that doesn't work, but none of the new ROMs have that. Its like we have to take a medicine without knowing the side effects to know only about them after trying it.

I can understand the frustration, but to some degree it is almost a crap shoot, especially on AOSP. Things can break from one update to the next as the devs work their magic. What worked today may not work tomorrow and vice versa. That is why I recommend trying then out. Devs typically work to improve their ROMs both stability and feature wise but given the difference in usage, apps, and even manufacturing variances in hardware internals, a ROM could work well for one user's needs but be broken for another.
As far as AOSP, I hear a lot of good things about AICP, but I use stock rooted on my MXPE so I can't confirm anything. It works great on my old LG G3 D850.
How?

Sorry for the noob question...I did a lot of custom roms on my SGS2 and SGS4 but when I got my Moto X Pure I have just used it stock.
I have been having enough issues with it that I considered replacing it with a Moto G5 Plus but decided I might as well try a ROM before I give up on it entirely.
So back to the noob question...how do I get from stock to that ROM? Also, can you send me a link to the ROM you are talking about (This one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-aicp-clark-xt1575-t3222868/page646)

To your noob question: I'm pretty sure the general process is the same to get a custom ROM as the SGSs you did. Flash the appropriate custom ROM made for your device via custom recovery. That has not really changed since custom ROMs for Android first came into being. The methods of getting a custom recovery onto a device changes though so please use due diligence to get it done if you haven't already.

Hi
The Q/A section is for questions, sure! But newbies create individual threads for asking noob questions. Is it not better to create one single thread where noob questions can be posted? Also, every thread created by a newbie doesn't always get answered, creating garbage in the Q/A section. In such cases, I've seen some members creating duplicate threads with the same question but a different thread name. Thought it would be better to create a place where they can at least have hopes to get answers.

Does the S8/S8+have replaceable/removable batteries?
Pull the battery, put in another. So on, so forth.

Samsung hasn't done removable batteries since the S6... and considering all the major manufacturers have made the decision to go the sealed batter route, at least on the high-end market, I don't see removable batteries coming back. :/
It's not AS bad if you plan on changing your phone every 1-2 years, BUT for those who keep their phones for 3+ years, it's a concern. However, most people seem to be on that 1-2 replacement cycle, so manufacturers go with the majority, vs the small subset of people who keep their phones for an extended period.
OK so I've had all the nexus phones since the GNex (except the 5X) and have been happily rooted and flashing ROMS, but I'm a noob as far as recent Samsung's go.
Today I impulse ordered a UK Snapdragon S8 (The device is EPIC in hand)..... What's the likelihood of root & custom roms happening? this could honestly make or break me taking delivery of the device
I presume this isn't multiuser, unless Samsung have changed approach. How do we make it so?
Good evening all,
I'm really excited about getting the S8 plus in a few weeks!! but I have a question, as I have had my brain numbed by the one for all iOS I have lost all knowledge of android and apps that are a must.
with my older android handsets i always had a file manager app that I can't remember what I used for but just know it was one first apps i installed. Anyone got and must haves for the latest android OS?

Hi,guys recently got the s8plus i with like to know how much battery life gets saved by using power saving mode on is it major or less?and which one do you use,and also if using a darker theme saves more battery

You can download kidsmode, which can set the phone into limited access environment for children. Also you can use Knox or use secure folder to set separate account with restricted access. But in personal device like a phone, most people carry in their pocket I don't see much demand for full multiuser setup similar to one on PC.

Phone comes preloaded with Facebook, Youtube and a whole Google set of apps. There are few file managers in Play store like ES file manager or Total Commander, but that's a personal preference. You may want to have something for backup, like Titanium, or PhoneInfo for information or 3C Toolbox for details on hardware settings etc. But IMO there is no must have APP, it all depends on your particular use and interest.

How waterproof can it be?
It is there any method to clean the ports of the phone after sea water and sand?
Stupid questions?
Never used Android (iPhone users since day one).
Really want to move to Android while my friend wants to move to iPhone. So we can trade our phones.
She has S8 with T-Mobile (the phone is unlocked because she purchased it) and I have 7plus with Verizon.
She is willing to move to Verizon so my phone is perfect for her.
I read that her S8 can be flashed so it would work on Verizon.
Questions:
1) where can I obtain steps by steps to this procedure?
2) Functionally, is there anything Negative of flashing a TMobile to Verizon? One of my co-worker stated that you can't auto upgrade on the phone firmware down the road and there are glitches.
3) Is this the same as ROOT?
Thank you for your expertise.
After accepting the July security update from Tmobile,long pressing my home key no longer launches Google Assistant, Just Brings up Google Now. What gives?
Shutter Sound on the Unlocked Version of the Galaxy S8
Hi everyone. Noob to this forum and this is my first post.
My question is regarding the shutter sound on the camera. I have the US unlocked version of the phone (not carrier unlocked). I've made tinkers to it already (disabling permissions, etc.). But I noticed the option to turn off the camera's shutter sound is missing. Not sure if this is due to me tinkering or if the option is not even available on the unlocked version.
I went to Verizon today to play with their version, and it has the option to disable the sound.
Can anyone confirm that the stock unlocked version of the S8 indeed doesn't come with the option to turn off the shutter sound? I was going to do a hard reset to see if maybe I discabled something by accident, but would rather not go through the hassle of reconfiguring my device all over again.
Thanks in advance!
hi guys... i am really confused which phone to get. confused btw oneplus5 and S8. can you guys give your opinion on the S8 so it helps me to choose?
the only thing oneplus5 has better for me is the battery life and dual camera. how is the battery life for s8? how much screen on time are you getting with heavy usage?
Hello every one.
I own a french Galaxy S8 bought with SFR (a french carrier).
After certains phone calls (Voice mail, Customer Services) and if the other person hangs up ok google is not reconized anymore.
I tried to flash other firmware, reset the phone, unistall google, clear google data but that's not helping at all.
The only fix is to kill google app via the setting but it's stop working as soon you do a "bad" phone call.
My girlfriend's S7 have the same problem...
The only solution I found is to install newer versions that i can't find in the playstore of google app, play store and google play services taken form apkmirror. The issue is still here but I have to do more calls to trigger it. Strange fact but the last beta of the google app works worse than the previous (behave like the play store version).
I thought turning off the wifi will help because my S8 and my girlfriend S7 have this in common but it doesn't help.
I'm very perfectionist so i had search this issue from weeks but no solition found.
Sorry for my english, I'm French.
Any ideas ?
Have a nice day.

Hello,
I am new to android and recently ordered a Leeco pro3 for $120 (couldn't pass it up). I have read that it does not get ota updates in the US, so I have a few questions. Is there any detriment to using an outdated android version? Can I still run apps like facebook, twitter, and Snapchat? If i flash to lineage, will I still have all of the features (camera, Snapchat and facebook apps, etc)? I know the IR blaster won't work, but this isn't an issue. I just have read that certain apps won't work and want to avoid having a phone with no camera or no social media apps such as Snapchat. Thank you all ahead of time.

If all you need is just core functionality then I would there is nothing wrong with running the stock rom. Everything will work right out of the box and all of those apps you mentioned should run just fine. Not to mention you should get really good battery life. With that said if you like some of the features that come with Nougat based roms such as better Doze and Camera API 2 support so you can install apps like google camera and give you camera a nice performance boost then go for it. I have installed all of the aftermarket roms available in this thread and IMHO Paranoid turned out to be the best. I havent had a single issue with it and it has the latest drivers taken from Oneplus 3's source code.

Thank you for the quick response. Given the fact that you have gone through using custom roms, have you been able to use snapchat on Paranoid? I have read that custom roms cause the app not to work. Also, for someone who has never used an android device, how hard is it to flash a custom rom? I am very interested in having a better camera, as I will be coming from a Lumia 950 XL (it has been deteriorating and Microsoft seems to have given up on W10M.). I know that this isn't on that level, but anything I can do to get the gap smaller is good. I am also interested in other features, but have to ask - is your battery life significantly worse running a custom rom? That would be a turn off. Thank you again.

Nope my battery life is near identical to stock and everything works on Paranoid. My favorite thing about it too is that all viarations of Google camera also work which will give you great pictures and videos if you play around with them far better than stock imho. But play with it first you will find that you can do far more on Android than you can windows mobile. The ecosystem just doesn't compare. If you want to to install a rom then follow the guides but make sure you do your homework before just jumping in. It's not difficult but a screw up could brick your phone. But there are also many guides for unbricking as well
Lineage has new Android versions first, but doesn’t have good battery life on this device, use a different ROM. If you want Snapchat, you can use a ROM that passes Safetynet or maybe Magisk’s hide feature. Oreo ROMs don’t pass safetynet, but some other Nougat ROMs do.

This is great news that the camera actually improves. Do you have snapchat issues with this rom? I just want to ensure I am able to enjoy everything android has to offer (well, as much as possible on a year old phone for now), as I have missed quite a bit of apps on W10M.

Paranoid does, so does AICP I think, both for nougut, not Oreo ones yet as SELinux is not working on Oreo. There are others that probably do also, but I haven't tried them yet.

This is tremendous. I am already turning into an android fanboy and I haven't even got the phone. It is quite impressive that the opensource community can get the latest editions stable on these devices. I just saw no need to go buy a galaxy or near $1K smartphone when the SD820 is still a powerhouse in my eyes. Do I have to root to install Paranoid, or just unlock bootloader and flash? (I may be missing a step but am going solely off of how I understood the guides)

SD821, not 820, the model with the 820, the so called elite, has nearly no development.
You have to flash a file to unlock the American model’s bootloader. (The SD821 powered x727 I think it’s called...) the Chinese model x720 has an unlocked bootloader, but is missing US carrier frequencies so it’s worse for Americans.

It stinks because I had an additional coupon bringing this to $120s. A dual sim (necessary for work) phone with a sd820 for that price seemed too good to be true and now it seems it is. However, if I can still get the play store ill be fine on any rom (would prefer a custom).
