[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ?

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s

Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).

Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?

I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk

last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo

If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Try This one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296266

Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help
PS : i ve also find a answer to one of my question
when use cm you must flsah the gapps separately and link is coming on cyanogen page.
I ve read also than the build for the S4 T-mobile seems to work fine on this phone more bugs corrected on it ?
No trying BT for the moment cauz i dont had BT device
@disturbed : i ll try the rom linked this evening . Thanks a lot

you need to unlock the bootloader and get a custom recovery, then you can easily install a custom rom

[Q][L5 II] Touchscreen not working after flashing ROMs

I have an L5 II E615(f) rooted. Last 2 days I tried to flash another rom for the first time.
So, I got latest CWM installed using ROM Manager and tried to flash this ROM:
[L5][E610/E612/E617][ROM][KOT49H][4.4.2][BETA 2] Pure AOSP KITKAT 4.4.2
Followed all the instructions properly, I put the ROM in external SD card, did factory reset, and wiped all caches, then flash the ROM and GApps. After the reboot, I got inside the new ROM but my touchscreen isn't working at all, but the volume and power button works.
Tried this ROM too (I entered the recovery mode by taking the battery off and put it back on, pressed power+volume down > and pressed 'back' button) [L5][E610/E612/E617][ROM][KTU84P][4.4.4][BETA 9.4] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 Build , still not working. So I thought it's because the ROM doesn't support E615 ([L5][E610/E612/E617]) So I tried to install other ROMs:
[L5][ROM][4.4.4][AOSP] Vanir weeklies, Fast and smooth
[L5/L7][4.4.4][KTU84P][FINAL]Unofficial Paranoid Android 4.4 rom build by Cr3pT
They don't mention the exact type of the phone, but none are working still. Now I'm stuck with the first ROM forever in the lockscreen LOL. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions properly.
Where's the problem? is it the ROM or another things? Or maybe can you suggest me some ROMs that might work with my device? I really want 4.4.x ROMs though Your helps are all appreciated. Thank you very much!!

Tried to flash
[L5][L7][UNOFFICIAL]SlimKat[OPTIMA TEAM][4.4.4] and CM 10 for E610
still same problem, touch screen not working. Someone please tell me what ROM should i use :crying:

You have installed a L5 E610/E612 ROM on L5 E615 which is dual sim?
Try a ROM meant for E615, like BhekBhek and check if touch works there..
Also, do you have sim card inserted? Because for me, despite having E612, touch didn't work without sim..

Yes, I installed the ROM, only touchscreen not working. Those ROMs for E615 still have 'ugly' animation I think I'll use it temporary because my phone's been disabled for the last 2 days haha.
And yeah, I had my sim card inserted.

Replacing some files might help too..
Use porting guide by Caliban (in general section) (Guide is for porting from P700 to E610) .. There there will be some files listed, replace those files with a ROM designed for E615.. Hopefully should work..
Battery will be (most probably) pathetic though, you need a E615 kernel ..

That would be really cool, I can't find the guide though, and if it's really complicated I won't be able to do that because I'm still a beginner haha. Maybe I should wait for another months for someone to do it. For now I'll try this one
Looks cool, too bad it's discontinued. Wanted to try BhekBhek but the download link is broken (or is it me?). I'm really obsessed of KitKat's UI though :silly:

Another Topic
Another thing, does anyone know how to hide SIM 2 icon and/or tint them to white? Because they look ugly when I'm using Tinted Status Bar, thanks.

Here this is the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428797
Let me know the result
Replace the files mentioned there with the ones from a E615
Hopefully should work, good luck!

Hi newman2015:
First of all, that can void you warranty since you will root and install a custom recovery on the S5 (Of course it depends on your region).
If you want a more stable and mature ROM, then go for Kitkat, some ROMS out there have great MODs like the Dragon KK CM11 rom.
On the other hand if you want to try something new and new capabilities then go for Lollipop, there are great variants out there and they are getting more stable each day, but expect issues.
I have tried several of them but the best for LP are Bliss, Dragon, CM12 from albino887 (UNNOFICIAL)... For KK i recomend Dragon ROM, Liquid Smooth and Vanir, all of them with great customization, but that's my personal suggestion.
I hope this helped.
Best! :highfive:

there r alot options i need know which one support my phone cuz if i am not wrong in need rom with G900FXU1ANG7
right? to support Sanpdragon galaxy

Hi newman2015:
Since you have the International variant of S5, you can flash any of those ROMs that I mentioned earlier, if you need further assistance don't hesitate to ask.
Best! :good:

Hi newman2015:
Of course. IF YOU WANT FIND A GUIDE WITH IMAGES, just google it. But the basic steps are as follow.
- Always do a backup!!, since you can lost everything (CONTACTS, FILES, PHOTOS, ETC.)
- Download a stock image in case that anything goes wrong, that way you can boot you S5 once again
- Download ODIN, that way you can boot you S5 once again and just in case
- Download your desired ROM to your PC
- Download GAPPS to your PC (remember to download KK GAPPS)
- First of all follow the guide to root and install a custom recovery (Chainfire CF-Root, don't do anything extra FOLLOW THE GUIDE and you will be safe)
- Once you have root and a custom recovery and you booted into ANDROID OS, transfer the ROM and GAPPS to your phone
- Remember to do a backup!!
- Find your APN settings in your current ROM and take note of then, back up them, etc.
- Turn off your phone and press HOME, POWER and VOLUME UP button to boot into RECOVERY
- Find the option WIPE
- Swipe to do a Factory Reset (you will start clean... )
- Once it finish, select the option BACK (DON'T SELECT FORMAT DATA OR ADVANCED WIPE)
- Select the OPTION INSTALL
- Navigate to the directory where you saved the ROM and GAPPS
- First select THE ROM FILE
- Select the OPTION ADD MORE ZIPs
- Select GAPPS file
- Swipe to begin...
- Wait a little... a little more...
- If you don't receive errors select the OPTION FLASH DALVIK and CACHE (Just to be safer)
- Select the option REBOOT
- Enjoy your new ROM
- Restore your APN settings, contacts, etc.
Hope it helps
Best!
P.D. To be honest I can't remember if the hebrew option is there, but my guess is that it is

LG G3 F400S/L/K Owners Thread

Hello to All
I am creating this thread because I can't find a thread on XDA dedicated to G3's Korean version F400S/L/K and I think it's worth having a dedicated thread.
Here are some goals I would like us to achieve on this thread
1 Gather information about the Customs ROMs/Kernel/MODs for F400 variant scattered around on XDA or any other forum like Lgviet etc.
2 Share your experience with the ROMs you tried on F400.
3 Try to find out a stable ROM for F400 by sharing your experience.
4. Share you experience with different experiments you did on your F400 e.g trying a ROM not intended for Korean G3.
etc etc etc
Please go on and share your thoughts

I have personally used these ROMs on F400L
Cloudy 2.2
CM 12 and CM 12.1
Resurrection Remix LP
BlissPop 2.0 and 3.2
In my experience I found Blisspop have most customization options in particular the capability to change screen dpi. On other AOSP based the font appears to be too small for me.
Another noticeable thing is that you have the option to change animation level to .75 which I think is not available in other custom ROMKs.
About performance, this ROM runs very smooth because default animation scale is set to .75.
ROM has awesome stand by battery timing but currently I'm only getting 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time.

I had a small Question/Doubt
I recently purchased LG G3 F400K from ebay in India.
Was wondering if i can install the stock D855 (International Version) Stock ROM on this?
[NOOB Question] What could i gain/loose possibly?
Also, How can i make the Korean fonts at some places to appear in english/ How can i make the ROM appear FULLY in english (everything in Eng)?
Thanks in advance.

i have F400s version ....
i am on cloudyg3 2.2 for now ...
i tried blisspop, cm12 , Resurrection remix ...
and all working v.good for me ...
.....
in recent weeks i tried dualboot patcher ... and i installed AOSP rom beside my primary rom (cloudyg3) ... and it was very good ...
be careful with flashing any rom that is not listed for out korean version (self opinion) ...
if you have a question ask me ...
.....
but ...
i have a question : how can i reach recovery mode without app nor ADB ... ( like using vol. down + power key in D855 versions ) ??

I will recommend you to use cloudy ROM. It will solve all the problems you are having with Korean stuff and this ROM is based on stock G3 ROM.
But before doing this you have to root your G3.
If you try to flash D855 ROM on your Korean model you will end up probably with no signal, Wifi and Bluetooth will not work. You can even end up soft bricking your device.

Quick Question,
Since i am new with G3 (Although I have Xperia Z1 Compact and Nexus 6), I searched for the Root methods and got surprised to see so many. Could you please provide me the link to the rooting method which worked for you guys for F400K.
Also, For updating to Cloudy G3 2.2, is it ok to root on kitkat rom (stock which came out of the box), install TWRP, take full backup and then install?
Or should i install Stock Korean Lollipop firmware first? (If yes, request you to please point me to that as well, sorry for being demanding though)

To enter recovery mode, you have to press vol.down + powerkey. When the LG logo appears, quickly press vol.down + vol.up. Before you do, make sure the power is shutdown completely (by remove battery). And note that you need to do very quick it very quick. I often success in one third of time.

I use this for rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
And yes, you can upgrade straight from kitkat rom. Btw, I'm not responsible if you brick your device or your girl friend broke up with you because you destroy her phone.

Thanks a lot . That made my life a lot easier.
Another thing i had in mind is, can we use system.img from the D855 (International version) and mix with "Radio.img and boot.img" of our F400K version's, so that it is completely stock and it boots up fine with Radios also working well?

Theoretically it seems correct but this won't work.
You will still face problems with Radio.
I tried the same with AOSP rom but it didn't work

If we've spent so much, we can try, u never know - maybe its worth the try
But, for that, what files will we need and from where? And how do we de-compile/re-compile

it is wooooooooooooork thanX br0 ^_^

Hi.
I've had the g3 for about 2 weeks now and I'm loving every bit of it. I've had a few questions regarding mine.
My device is F400s running v20f (lollipop) and I've been thinking of flashing cloudyG3 on it. The procedure would be this right,
1. Backup internal storage
2. Flash .tot of v10e (KitKat)
3. Root it using purpledrake
4. Flash twrp
5. Flash cloudyG3
Now what I don't know is, how do I flash twrp and how to enter recovery mode? By pressing power+vol down button nothing happens.
Thank you.
PS: sorry for being a noob. Never used an lg device before.

1- you can flash TWRP using twrp manager app (you must be have root)
2-if you want to get in recovery mode press vol. down + power key till you see LG logo then press ((((vol down+ vol. up))) " but use this step after intalling TWRP ...
note : you can root your mobile using 'towelroot.apk" good and easy one
if you have any other question just ask
