[Q] Bad Signal and battery life...

So before I gave u8800 to my dad I had installed Aurora ICS succesfully and used it for a while but then I bought Optimus 2x and putted u8800 back to stock.
What I did was:
Try to nandroid restore stock 2.2 ( I didnt know that you can't do that with a another CWM than with what the backup was made with)
Because of that the phone got "bricked" and stayed at Huawei logo and just rebooted again and again.
Then I installed official 2.2 succesfully and then my Dad had it for a while and complained about bad battery and connection and lag, so I updated 2.3 and he still says it has that problem although the lag was gone
(I have never used official 2.3 myself)
So now I thought that I could install my first CWM (genokolar) back and restore my 2.2 backup (cause I don't remember it was that laggy) or completely install Aurora ICS again.
But what I want to ask you is that what is a good daily use Rom and how about the Basebands and Rils, any recommends...
Thanks in advance...

if u are in stock 2.2 and its for your dad i recomend the use of cm7 ezets or oxygen, both very stable if we likes a good looking phone u might try miui 32... its very nice and all with good battery performance...

Thanks!
Yes I also thought of oxygen.
Guess I just have test it out

[Q] freezes on 4.4.2 custom roms / kernels

on the latest d802 4.4.2 custom roms and kernels i get a lot of freezes.
it will freeze in the middle of an animation and will take some seconds up to some minutes and then working normal again.
sometimes i have to hard-reboot to get out of freeze / lag.
on older 4.4.2 slimroms i never had this behavior, only since some weeks with new roms / kernels.
i`ve tried every rom / kernel combo but sooner or later i will get a freeze again.
could a revert to stock and re-rooting / flashing custom rom maybe a solution? i`m afraid to do this because of the long time to backup my 32gb data.
what are your experiences with the latest 4.4.2 roms and kernels? did you find a solution for this with any combo or fixes?
help would be appreciated.

push! no one else with same problems? maybe i got a hardware defect?

The only thing I can say is I own the VS980 version of the device and i've tried every single 4.4 rom offered on this sight and have the same issue with all. Most of the time i'm using the device and it freezes, sometimes reboots, and sometimes comes out of it after a few minutes. Also not being able to wake the device only seeing a black screen and forced to hard reboot device. 4.3 seems to be a much better with these issues but not completely solved for me. I'm hoping the release of 4.4 source from lg will fix these issues but i'm unsure. So at least your not alone in these problems lol. I've tried multiple kernels and governors etc. Bumping up the min freq on the cpu seems to help and changing to interactive governor but doesn't eliminate the issue just help. I thought my next move would be to use lg flash tool and update to latest firmware reroot and install cwm.

i think i will do the same today after work. hopefully this helps.
the better option would be to stay some days on stock rom to ensure there is no hardware defect. but i can`t stand stock so this would be a hard route! ^_^

Yea unfortunately it seems very common among these devices so i'm pretty confident it's a software issue although i'm not 100% sure of that. I ran a flex rom for a few days on 4.2.2 and didn't have any of the same issues.

added a poll as a matter of interest.

omni-ROM, Mokee rom, vanir rom etc.freezing problem still continues.

Using CM11 (4.4.2) for 5 days with zero freezes so far.. note that this is on D800, not 802.

Yes, stock cm kernel.
I'm thinking back now and it did freeze once when first signing into the Google account immediately after flashing the ROM, but nothing after that. So.. nearly spotless

Nice! Maybe they are getting the issues ironed out. Haven't been on cm11 for a week or so since it was the worst with freezes for me. I'll have to give it another shot.

Best of luck! To be specific, I'm using the snapshot release of cm11... still don't trust the nightly releases

i did a lg flash tool stock restore, factory reset and OTA updates. now the freezes did not come back until now *knock on wood*.
when i did a backup of the sd there was one corrupt media file which was not able to transfer.
maybe the media scanner did go crazy and was the reason for the freezes.

using cm11 m3 on my d802... very little freezes compared to previous nightlies, fingers crossed

Just bought phone of craigslist

Hey guys I just got this G2 today for 240 off craigslist. I currently have a note 3 as a daily driver and wanted to experiment with this thing. I'm really into rooting and the note 3 development is slow at best. So i have the phone and i started poking around and learn that i'm already rooted .. There is a custom recovery installed i think it said phils somethign recovery.... it's rooted and all that.. i dont know what to do. .I made a back up... do I need to do anything else? Is the bootloader installed? I'm lost. But i'm really excited to get an AOKP rom or something .. Where do I go from here?

Probably Philz Touch 6? What is it running stock? Kitkat or JellyBean?
I had the exact same thing as you (bought it off a similar website) and mine had JellyBean,
so I flashed a stock Kitkat Rom onto it but kept the root. Loving it so far

Well Well have Pacman installed. Have been having issues. Not Not sure why. Is there anything more stable.

Yes stock KK is the most stable Rom I've ever used. No offense to aosp. They just don't offer anything but boring options, fc's, and sods

[advice]things to do with your outdated galaxy s3

If you have played with your Galaxy S3 for a very long time.......now the time has come to make it ready for some freaky roms and tweaks.:angel:
FIRST THING TO DO IS
1.ROOT your android phone
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-s3-i9300xxugna7-android-4-3-jelly-bean-1435664
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-s3-i9300xxugna7-android-4-3-jelly-bean-1435664
Follow the rules posted here.
2.Install Custom Rom,I prefer CMhttp://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i9300&type=nightly
Many of the users don't like to use VANILLA UI after using TOUCHWIZ UI.
So,I prefer instaling MIUI.Even if MIUI is based on older version of Android,it is still one of the best custom rom I have ever used for a phone.\
Here is the link for it too
="http://enbigota.d.miui.com/4.4.11/miui_i9300_4.4.11_436e5b96d5_4.1.zip"
This version of MIUI is based on Android 4.2.2
3.FLASH Philz recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
4.Now that you are bored,flash the stock firmware and sell your S3 and grab a new phone.
http:http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-i9300xxugna5-android-4-3-stock-firmware-galaxy-s3-1434726//
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I first received my phone,I was very curious to flash Custom Roms,tweaks.But after making all these things,I sold my phone and bought a Nexus 4

If you are on here, you rooted and flashed a custom rom well before you thought the s3 was an old phone

Give it to me for free. That's what you should do with it.

Why not a Nexus 5?

100% root your phone and get rid of the ugly stock OS IMO.

How long did you used your s3? And how much do you know about it.

When I read the title I expected something like:
1. Take a camera

3. Start recording while you hit your phone
4. Throw it as high as possible

Back to KK

I have been using LL for about 5 months and could never get used to the lag. It was very faint but i could notice it. I tried the stock custom roms and the customs roms but was not able to find one that worked without lag. I also missed the status bar notifications on the lock screen. It was a pain always having to unlock it to see the notifications.
So i decided to go back to KK. I used CloudyG3 1.2 rom and KK modem/radio and am very pleased. Much smoother than LL. Status bar notification on lock screen is a godsend. It even seems like the display is a bit crisper. Maybe thats just my eyes playing tricks on me because i am so impressed with KK. anyways just wanted to tell you about my experience.

Yeap, it's your eyes! I have bought my g3 when lollipop was already on it so i haven't had the opportunity to test KK, but i have installed it 2 months ago out of curiosity.
Lollipop is definitely smoother and faster. If you search YouTube, there is a proof of that, with animations in Kk vs lollipop in slow-motion. You'll be going back in a few hours/days

Of course you think LL is smooth. You have nothing to compare it to. Without testing both of them first hand like I have your comments do not mean much. I went from KK to LL back to KK.

Read again what i have written. I have tested kk also, 2 months ago.
My comments don't have to mean something necessarily. Why did you start this post, if you are so easily offended? Lollipop is definitely better, smoother, faster than kk. You can start a poll, you will see you are wrong, lollipop will win by far. Haha. Over and out.

Dude I bought my LG G3 with Lollipop as well. Didn't have a chance to test Kitkat on it, but, I used to have Kitkat on my Nexus 5 and it was so much better than Lollipop I'm telling you. My LG G3 is laggy is hell and gets hot for no reason at all and the battery doesn't give me even a solid 3 hours SOT, I hate Lollipop. Can you please give me the link to download the CloudyG3 1.2 Kk ROM? I searched but I couldn't find it

I also would like to know where to find Kit Kat rom and baseband for downgrade. I looked in the forums but all links I found were offline. THank you.

Just a tip, but part of the heat issue that I have discovered and a decent remedy is if you are wherever and using WiFi- turn off cellular data because your phone is constantly searching for the strongest signal and I easily run 5°-10° cooler and my battery life is definitely better. I hated, and I mean despised LP for almost a year- and the past few months on my G2 and G3 it has grown on me, I don't get much lag that isn't associated with my own bs, maybe you just haven't tried the right LP rom yet?

Thanks for making me fall in love with my LG G3 all over again. Absolutely love Kitkat! No lag at all compared to Lollipop, battery is good and it only gets heated when I'm gaming on it. I'll stick with this ROM until a more stable Lollipop/Marshmallow release is available from LG.
Cheers :good:

Btw do you keep using Dalvik or did you switch to ART? Because I just switched to ART and the phone becomes kinda unusable, some apps don't wanna launch and the phone became kinda laggy. Should I just stick with Dalvik?

Yes but make sure it is the right version modem. Not sure what it is for the UK. I used the international modem.

I would recommend an AOSP Lollipop build (BlissPop for example) running at 1080P. QHD makes zero difference at this screen size and running at 1080P the phone flies, not to mention a (marginally) better battery life.

If you don't use the camera maybe this not a terrible idea. The stock Kit Kat rom is definitely faster and much much much more stable. And you can use the laser focus and full camera features. Plus the IR blaster. If you disable the stock apps you don't use, its a way better choice than the featureless ASOP roms.

hi there, im using stock rooted lollipop rom v20h, i want to try KK rom to compare but which modem is for international model ? i cannot tell which is best for me cause when i got my phone 2 weeks ago it came with lollipop.
can anyone recommend on a suitable modem pls ?
thanks.

I am also planning to downgrad to Kk.

Just downgraded my d855, to kk. Cloudy 1.2, it 4.4.2 kk rom seems to run fine imso used to lollipop that it feels a bit weird. I used 10o modem which felt not so good for my device. Then put 10i modem and its great. Now im looking for a good kernel.
Ill test itforfew days and see how i feel compared to stock lollipop. 5.0
