[Q] No Knock-on after going stock from CloudyG3

Hello everybody,
I had on my LS980 device the cloudyg3 rom and i wanted to go back stock.
So i flashed the firmware and all is good except for one problem: I've got no knock-on (knock-off works great tho), and i understood that's happening because the g3 rom is changing the touch firmware.
When i'm going to the hidden menu i don't have the update touch firmware and if i update to the ZVD build it's all working - but the battery is sucks on this build.
What can i do to fix this WITHOUT going to the ZVD build? Currently on 4.4.2 (ZVC, LS980)
Thanks

I went through this EXACT same issue with my LS980, what I did was installed CyanogenMod 11 M9 Snapshot on my device and had the knock on and knock off feature work)the ROM offers those options), the trade off is that you'll lose nearly all of the features the LG G2 offered, and those will be replaced with CyanogenMod features, but I'll tell you, my battery life has never performed better![emoji4] [emoji106]
Side note, you don't have to knock on the status bar to lock your device, you can swipe up and touch the sleep icon and it will lock.[emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] Here's a Snapshot[emoji4]

I Can live with cm11 but here's the deal - how much SOT do you get average? also how much time your battery is doing without charging it over again?
also, here's the problem i've been dealing with screenshot - no hw device test: http://puu.sh/aPpb7/0270e4fb86.jpg

This is how much battery I get on average
And here's the SOT
But I'm a mid to heavy user, so it varies from person to person on how much they use their device battery.
Speaking of the hidden menu, I couldn't find it either, I was getting annoyed with the knock on feature so much, I almost returned my device for a replacement, but then the ZVD update fixed it, but as you said in the Original Post, it's not good, and I agree, so I went with a solution, I flashed CyanogenMod 11 M9 snapshot.[emoji4] [emoji106]

So it appears the next iteration of CM is already starting to roll out... and we don't even have a fully working 11:silly:
Cyanogenmod-11-m12

Damn that was fast by CM. Maybe now that we have Bump! we will soon-ish see proper support from CM? They support far more obscure models than G3 so I'm at least hopeful.

Does anybody has a word on the official CM11 release? I got a feeling the curent (unofficial) one is a bit buggy.

Official or unofficial, all CM versions being ported to a new device goes through "buggy". That's why the current version is BETA.

LG has done a really bad job at Android 5.0. It almost looks exactly the same. CyanogenMod 12 will at least have Material Design so I'm looking forward to its release.

I don't see this happening. Any changes to the boot image would mean it needs to be re-Bumped, and relying on a third-party like this is a precedent that I don't think CyanogenMod will want to set.

Do any of you guys know of a TWRP themes thread somewhere in some forum? Somewhere we can get a nice compilation of the themes? I'd search the forum but I figured maybe someone has it bookmarked or something!
---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------
Also, has anybody heard if LG plans to update its stock apps to Material Design? All the stock apps on the L stock roms are just the same old crap.

PSA
Well this is a nice boost.
But big battery is BIG

The development has kicked in well and a big thanks to our devs/porters for that but I feel the lack of frequent updates/nightlies. I think we should invite Rom Cooks/Development teams (CM, Omni, MIUI, PA, PACMAN, etc.) to begin officially supporting our G3. The Bumping might be an extra load on them but am sure they would collect good donations from all of us once they start developing for us.
We have neither heard any news from them if they are considering to support G3 yet. I don't know if they know about bump or not or if they still think we have a locked bootloader with no workaround.(silly concern maybe, but am still concerned )

Damn that battery is big! We really need new development in the battery area. I don't like how every manufacturer is focusing on the thinness of the phones instead of having a slightly bigger battery.

Maybee someone know a good Kernel dev. for our G3! Would be good for our battery and performance?

How has LG done a bad job with android 5? Samsung has looked the same since they started making phones. HTC kept sense looking the same right up until blinkfeed and even then there was still the option to use the good old flip clock widget (which really just became flatter). I think they did a good job of keeping their individual look and feel while moving forward. The integration with the new O.S is done well and personally I think the new material design is not too attractive, but oh well...
I am impressed but still figuring lollipop out.

Android 5.1 is around the corner

Google officially released Android 5.1 on 9th March for Nexus devices.
I am hoping that it should be released to AOSP within this week. So people what do u think?? What are the chances of One Plus One getting Android 5.1 straight way?

As a Nexus user i hope AOSP code gets released soon, i'm not used to wait. ☺
Update: AOSP being uploaded...

This thread makes no sense. CM12 is based on 5.0.2. Of course the next release of CM12s for the OPO will not be based on Android 5.1. You don't really need a poll for that.

Will CM12 update to 5.1 or are they going to wait until a staple 5.0.x is completed

Not sure why people always open ETA threas whenever there is an update on versions by google.
If YOU are a developer and you wish to release a 5.1 based rom, give us ETA. Otherwise ,none of these threads are going to fasten the process, or the way other developers work.
If YOU think, a thread like this will help, go ahead and open similar thread on all OnePlus forums. :goteam:

Nobody reading this can answer those questions, it's pointless asking. All you're going to get is baseless speculation.
Transmitted via Bacon

Yet another Thread which is asking us to imagine things which don't exists yet. So may people are begging for Lollipop 5.0.2 from a long time(and we already have so many Lollipop based ROMs) and @op wants us to believe our device will get 5.1 which is again pointless.

Is there an option for "I don't care". My Amazon Fire Phone run smoother than the OnePlus and Moto X running Lollipop. I'll wait to see ColorOS get update to Lollipop or OxygenOS mature. For now I'm using ColorOS because it's the only rom that have continuous autofocus working for camera recording and 50MP photo.

Moto X is one of the smoothest phones I've ever used. I'm seriously jealous at how smooth everything is on that phone.

The 2013 Moto X is the prime example of why specs aren't everything. My Droid Maxx is nearly the same device with a larger battery (which is what the X desperately needed at times), it's been hard letting go of that phone for my OPO.

From my experience the X didn't need a bigger battery? I consistently got 4.5+h SOT on that phone, and my Mum still gets the same on it now.

i dont find 4,5 hrs to be good. On my oneplus I get 7-9 hrs depending on how I use it.

Moto X
4.5*60=270minutes
2200mah/270 minutes = 8.1mah per min of SOT
OnePlus One
7*60=420
3100mah/420 minutes = 7.4mah per min of SOT
So while there is a difference, it isn't really that great. And considering that I have only ever got 7h SOT once, but generally get 5.5-6, they are about even (6h SOT = 8.6mah per min of SOT). I know it's a weird way to measure it, but I've found it to be accurateish across device.

Yeah, it's already been announced that CM12s will be based on 5.0

I got maybe 2 hours? It was awful and the main criticism from several outlets and communities is the battery life. Otherwise it's honestly one of my favorite phones ever.

Battery life is actually great. There are other problems. Like the mic not working

I, too, had a droid maxx, and while I also loved it, don't think the battery life was much better than the 1+. Do miss that carbon fiber back, active display, and voice commands, though. What a great phone that was, especially for the $150 they sell for these days.

Rumor that power/volume might be moved to side of device is sad. I love the back buttons!

I'm hoping it has the modular design and removable batter. Even a removable battery would be enough to make me switch from Samsung.

Nothing less than a fully unlockable Bootloader will make me even consider switching.

The way I interpreted it was that the G5 will still pale in comparison to pretty much any Nexus device because it doesn't run stock software or isn't easily unlockable.
If that wasn't your intention then I do apologize, but I do feel strongly that at this point even phones without Nexus like interfaces will still run better than Nexus devices because of the hardware choices that Google gives manufacturers for those specific devices (Although Google is starting to push the limit a bit with the latest Nexus releases).

Thank you. Well while it is spec-ulation atm, it will be nice to see what the final design will offer.

The G5's dimensions will allegedly be 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.2 mm

If I can get a significantly extended battery for it, I'll consider it. If no big battery = no buy.

Not sure that will be possible. The battery has a different insertion method... or so it was speculated.

Rear camera will be a dual Camera, one cam will have 16mp and the other one 8mp and the gpu adreno 530, not 520. Wouldn't expect a bump that big from 3k to 4k mah on battery :/
I have a G3, if this phone turns out to be REALLYYYYY revolutionary, I might think on upgrading by the end of the year.

No
Because the bootloader on the G4 & V10 still hasn't been unlocked... Not sure if the hack Gods are interested in LGs phones anymore.

Some versions of the Intl V10 and the T-mo are BL unlocked. Same goes for the G4:good:

I'm upgrade from S6 Edge & LG G2... . Lg makes usefull smart phones. I like this one too ...

I'm currently running the G3. I really liked the v10, but the things I want improved on the v10 are USB-C, smaller profile, and the SD 820. I also would like to keep the 4GB of RAM, but let's see how that goes.
I hope the G5 keeps the same style and form as the previous G4,G3, and (to a major extent) G2. The buttons on the back and the high screen to body ratio are my two favorite things on the G3. I also really like the audio cord on the bottom.

Hey guys, just coming here to lay my claim to this sub forum! I'm 99% sure I'm picking up a G5, porting it for an official NetHunter release, and fixing up a fun kernel. I might even get involved with TWRP.
It's starting to look like it could be a real open development phone for me. (I'll be getting it in Canada though when it is available, so I'm certain I'll be in the bootloader safezone)
I'm really glad they went with a 5.6" screen. It'd be nice to see some reliable information on the battery and how easy it will be to replace. Leaving the world of 1 second battery swap to full is a scary thing for me.

Won't upgrade from V10

I am really considering buying the V10 right now, but after seeing this I must consider to wait for the G5.... Decisions, decisions
I am currently using xperia Z5 Premium.

Hope is the word:fingers-crossed:
Glad to see Devs populating this device:good:

I like how the spec in OP is for a 6 inch lens.
I'll probably be getting a G5 in Spring/Summer. Currently the G3 is working great and is slowly coming up for a replacement.

I may upgrade my old G2 now
