is your G3 were rooted?
and if you restart phone with this app, it will reset resolution to default for avoid the boot loop problem.
So, we have to set resolution with this app every time after do re-boot with this app.

will work on lollipop nomone causing bootstuck

It won't save very much battery. Most of the juice is drained by the backlight.

Will it work on rooted stock lollipop, coz i dont want to get bootloop since i have no recovery installed, only rotted stock lollipop.

I also use with lollipop rom, and have get boot loop with nomone app.
but this rom to avoid the boot loop, i hit the "Default setting" every time before reboot phone by this app, and never get boot loop any more.
and when phone restart back i go to this app to set resolution again to safe battery.

The app was added the check box to auto set default resolution before turn off or se-boot phone.
this will help for the boot loop on some G3 with lolipop rom.

for G3 lolipop rom , please reset resolution to default before power off phone.
or you can check the box to auto set default resolution before turn off or se-boot phone.
and use this app to re-boot or power off.
this will help for the boot loop.. and i never got any boot loop for over 20 time power off/reboot with this app.

Im too boring to restore my backup if its not gonna work i kill you [emoji14] kidding will try it right now!
1)Make something like recovery if this didnt work if the phone will force reboot it self (kernel crash battery end etc)
2)ok its working....but as i said at 1 im affraid what will happent if the phone reboots it self!
edit its not working...it restore the stock res and stick with it...even if i change the resolution and simply exit the app and reopen it the res is stock... :/
Edit2:its working i was wrong cause you cant get any difference between stock res and g3 battery...
Ss1 showing that the res stick after reboot to g3 battery
Ss2 showing that your app showing the stock res after reboot and not the g3 baterry that i choose
And also ss3 showing swiftkey bug bit im not sure of its your fault.

I will answer you one by one
Ss1. The resolution of the app in ss1 is minus the virtual button.. So you can use the nomone resolution changer to confirm it.
Ss2 the display resolution on this app is not the current setting. It is the resolution that you will use when hit the apply button.
Maybe next version will show the current resolution setting.
Ss3. I never seen the keyboard promblem like you.
I use normal lg key board.. And my htc m8 also not show this problem.

Why does this app Need Access to Media/Pictures?

I had stock 600dpi so it was kind of wrong also can you tweak a bit the res or the dpi cause some app don't play very well with this dpi....lux notification showing quite big Viber contact photo showing distorting also I'm using flat notification icon xposed and I can resize the status bar icons stock are quite big and showing outside of status bar...

Sorry, but I have to ask. What is the point in buying 2k display smart phone and decrease resolution? It makes no sense.

Theorectly saving battery....also we that didn't want Samsung and find htc more expensive bought g3 bit want the battery more than the unnoticed 2k res of the screen.

Aaaahhhh! So many questions, my head's going to explode!
I don't have a wing, but all your questions are pretty basic and something you SHOULD be able to figure out by just playing around with the phone, reading the manual and reading the Herald forums. I'll just give you some good or possibly bad advice here.
1. My sure-fire method to lock my phone? Hit the power button. Locked.
2. I'm not sure if you're asking about the T-Zones app, or the T-Zones connection. Please clarify.
3. Are you asking how to remove the calendar from your mainscreen? If so, Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items (lower tab) -> uncheck "Calendar".
4. No ideas there. I never use it.
5. More apps, games? Lots of them here. Even more here.
6. Not sure about the Wing, but with the Wizard and Hermes it will dim then go black. Maybe you're not giving it enough time?
7. Scrap the install CD. Just download Activesync from Microsoft.
(Just a side note to #7. To fix your Flash problem, download and install this, reboot, then redownload and install Flash from here) Voila!
Have fun!
P.S. This one was a "gimme". Next time, please make an effort to find your own answers to such simple questions.
thanks for the quick response. sorry for the silly questions, first time i've ever owned a smartphone. use to have experience flashing/flexing motos, but this is a different story
anyways
1. what exactly does clicking the power button do? it seems to make the screen go black and "locks" the phone
2. well i don't use tzones i just want to get rid of it from bottom right of screen, the tray. searched the forums a little and pple say you need to change the registry but i am not sure what to use to edit the registry. any suggestions?
3. nope i'm trying to get rid of the soft/smart key shortcut button. already got it off the menu so that didn't really help
4. anyone else?
5. lol i assume i just search for WM6 games/apps?
6. i give it enough time...30 minutes later screen still isn't black. what exactly is "Wizard and Hermes"? and your answer to #1 kinda solves the problem but yea still would like answers to #1 and to #6 that i just wrote
7. didn't work guess i'll try to download/install directly

No worries about the questions. We all have to start somewhere. Just remember to check out FAQs up top. You'll find some general guidelines about the site there.
Okay, let's keep this number pattern going, it's easy.
1. Hitting the power button puts your device in "standby". A phone call, alarm, reminder, or whatever will still wake it up for you.
2. PHM Registry Editor is super easy to use.
3. You can remap button behavior by clicking Start -> Settings -> Buttons.
4. uhhh....
5. Exactly!
6. Try this, Start -> Settings -> Power -> "Advanced tab", then set when to turn the device off. It sounds like your backlight is going off, but your device isn't, but should shortly after.
7. Darn
1. awesome this makes it easy to put into my pocket
2. will try that out after i got activesync working
3. still no. it's the bottom left shortcut key. that button wasn't listed
4. do you know any other alarm programs?
5. lol yay
6. ahhhh i turned that off myself. when it said "turn off" what i thought was like the phone actually turns off. it just puts it in standby so all is good
7. just installed it directly from ms need to restart i'll try it tmr and update you on it
okay i can't install PHM Registry Editor. tried running the setup but it's not appearing in activesync. any ideas?

No, that's not true. Only tapping the power button again will get it out of standby.

Actually, under Settings -> System -> Key lock you can set it to wake up on just the power button or by any button press.
i just decided to go with the standby power button mode. it works fine. i still can't get rid of t-zones from the tray. please refer to my post in this thread

[ROM] [SGH-I757M only] Paranoid Android

Paranoid Android (Jelly Bean) for Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
This is a fairly new ROM built from the Paranoid Android 2+ source code.
I do not develop this ROM nor do I provide support for it.
I felt that we needed a new topic to talk about this PAndroid ROM as the CM10 topic was getting pretty hefty and unorganized.
Since the development for this ROM is new, don't expect it to be as stable as CM9. Check "What Doesn't Work" for a list of what's broken!
If you still don't know what ClockWorkMod Recovery or Paranoid Android is, Google it or search XDA.
WARNING! Do not flash this to a different device model from the one it's meant for. It will not work with the other Galaxy S2 iterations, so don't try it with the Bell Galaxy S2 I9100M (non-HD). DO NOT flash it on the Asian variant of the GS2 HD (SHV-E120) either, as it uses slightly different internal hardware - the ROM will be unstable and the phone component will not work. If you are sure you have the CANADIAN Bell Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M), you may continue.

Flashing The Recovery Menu
Do you have the stock recovery menu installed? If so, move to step two. If you already have CWM installed, move to "Flashing Paranoid Android"
Download Odin from here: bit.ly/WXpnCN AND download CWM Recovery here: bit.ly/WXpfDA
Start your SGH-i757m in 'Download Mode' (Shut off device. Hold the Volume Down key while powering the phone on. The device will vibrate and soon you will see a Warning screen, where you will need to press Volume Up to enter Download mode.)
While in Download Mode, start up Odin and connect your phone to the PC via USB. You should see a status message in Odin saying your device was "added".
In Odin, press the 'BOOTLOADER' button and select the CWM TAR file you downloaded from step two.
In Odin, press Start. Once Odin is done it should say "PASS". If it doesn't finish or is stuck, try re-downloading the recovery file.
Your device will reboot.
Flashing Paranoid Android
Download the latest version of PAndroid from Socim's Dev-Host: bit.ly/WK042w AND G-Apps from: bit.ly/117KEsZ
Place both *.zip files on your Micro-SD card. Do NOT Extract Them!
Start your phone into CWM Recovery mode. To accomplish this hold down the Power Button to turn the phone on, and then immediately hold down Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time. Let go of the buttons at the exact moment you see the "Samsung" Logo.
Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
Then choose "Install Zip" then "Chose Zip From External SDCard" and select the PAndroid version you downloaded in step one. Do this TWICE just to be sure.
Next flash the G-Apps file you downloaded from step one the same way.
OPTIONAL: If you need to install the Stock Bell ICS Modem, now would be the time to do it. You can get it from dsixda's Dev-Host: http://bit.ly/Wu4SJe
Reboot your device.
What Doesn't Work
Some GUI elements (ie. Youtube Controls) become hidden behind content
Some camera apps display as unintended (ie. Instagram)
No touch-to-focus for camera. Regular focus does work though
"Random" crashes
Sources and Acknowledgements
Huge thanks to Socim for getting the ball rolling on this device again! bit.ly/Vc3j7d
Also, I based most of my instructions off of dsixda's posts. bit.ly/UavsHn
And to the community for not letting this amazing phone go to waste!

thank you so much for the ROM. A quick question though, the white flash at my hardware keys (navigation bar) remain always on. I think the light should only be activated on use.

I suppose it because I set touchkey autobrightness to true in framework config, so you guys who doesn't turned on autobrightness will encounter this.
Home and Search buttons don't work
ROM looks good so far, just flashed this morning. Only issue I have noticed is the home and search buttons don't work.
[UPDATE]
I reinstalled and looks like something that loaded when I restored with Titanium backup caused the home button issues. Everything looks good now.

No problem! Really gave me time to truly get used to the post editor! :laugh:
Is this rom still being worked on? I have a t989d and the jb roms for it are amazingly stable and still being improved. Would love to see a jb rom for this phone become a stable daily driver.
Gonna flash this either way and check it out!
Working Good here. Great work!!!
The phablet mode 600px with a defualt DPI of 290 works great and looks great for most apps! Some may need individual adjustment. The only app that will need adjustment after reboot is the launcher. This is what you do.
You head into paranoid settings,
hit the Apps button on the left.
Then choose Trebuchet and adjust the DPI to exactly 228. Hit Apply.
This makes everything look right again. In both the drawer and on the home screen. Otherwise your apps in drawer will not fill the screen properly, and icons start looking to small. On the home screen, for some reason if you have 5 coloumns or less, you lose your last two icons on your launcher. You will also need to do the following.
head into the launcher settings,
click home screen.
Adjust the rows to your choice.
But the coloumns need to be 6 or more.
While you are in there you will also want to
enable Resize any widget
and disable wallpaper scrolling.
I also changed alot of my dpi for other individual apps, making things look even better. This rom has made my phone work and look more awesome than it was ever destined to be! Thanks to everyones continued efforts on this phone.
Only issues I have are backlight keys sometimes do not want to come back on when you unlock phone. They do come back on later tho, never really timed it. Also andom reboots. Maybe like one or two a day.
Also I should mention DO NOT install the latest gapps
gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
I installed it and it broke my keyboard. If you just gotta try it..... then make sure you have a nand backup done first.
To get the backlights to come on just adjust your screen brightness...lights come on, for me anyway. I have the slider in notification bar so it's not a big deal.

I tried it for a few minutes and half way through restoring the apps and settings, the phone got extremely hot. So now I'm back to CM10, but if anyone knows what's wrong, I'd love to try it out again.

I suggest not restoring your apps and settings using Google's wizard. Sometimes it breaks a lot. Instead, just restore your apps manually using the Play Store OR a previous Titanium Backup.

Agree. For example some touchkeys won't work if you come from cm10.

When we got Android 4.2 we will need it.
Hey guys just an update on my phones experience. The rom is pretty stable for me as well. However I have had a few sudden reboots and system ui crashes. As well the latest gapps do not work correctly for me for some reason so I flashed the gapps from cm9 and that works.
The sudden reboots happen mainly when watching a video or changing wallpapers and the system ui crashes out of no where.
Now I have wiped cashed partition and delvik cach which solves the above mentioned two issues it for awhile but continues again. As well re flashing the PA rom from Nov 22.

Actually that's what I always do. At first, I let the Play Store downloads all the apps again, and then I restore the user apps data using Titanium Backup. This way, I don't have to tap "Install" for every fricking app. But it got so hot in the middle of downloading the apps, that I kinda freaked out and got back to CM10. It may be related to the settings and configuration connected to my Google account. I'll try again without entering my user name and password at the start and see how it goes.
I ran the ROM for the better part of 16 hrs (workday testbed) other than the play store crashing here and there, I had no issues, I was very impressed. I noticed the benchmark scores were low but if anything we know they're nothing more than a number in most cases. I did have the same heating up issue with heavy file transfers but honestly couldn't give you a value of PA vs dsixda's ICS rom. Performance "felt" much smoother and more fluid. Gallery, lights and what not worked like a charm.
PA question - Where do I turn on display battery %? I'm going to run it another day with all my automated & battery apps running, see how battery life is.
Thanks for the dev on the ROM guys, really gave new life to the device. I was seriously debating axing it for another, at my own expense since its a work phone.
Everything except for the Paranoid settings, adjusts the same way as CM10. You can find the option for battery % under System Settings/system/Status Bar.
I forgot to mention one thing that had caused me issues. When I installed PANov23 I had high useage on the app named "media". I killed it have not had a problem since. I also prefer the noop or deadline scheduler and have heard that the CFQ scheduler can sometimes take some time to scan your sdcard causing high CPU useage upon bootup. I also recommend spending the money on the PRO version of Titanium Backup. If you are a frequent Flasher, and not a dirty flasher, then you SHOULD have a paid copy of this app!!
I also use GSam Battery Monitor to watch what eats my battery. Its like Better Battery Stats, but more robust. Check it out.

Everything except for the Paranoid settings, adjusts the same way as CM10. You can find the option for battery % under System Settings/system/Status Bar.
I forgot to mention one thing that had caused me issues. When I installed PANov23 I had high useage on the app named "media". I killed it have not had a problem since.

Should have mentioned I've never been a CM10 user. I started off with Android only very recently with an S3 first and the dev wasn't there for a daily driver, then I swapped that in for a Note 2, so again, little dev atm. And then i757, so again, even less dev.

XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware Change Log

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

I want to flash this firmware, but can it be rooted?
Since I've rooted my Camera with Exynos Abuse, it says it is non-standard and refuses to tell me about any updates. Do I need to back out everything before it will notice the update? Does the abuse hole still exist after the update?

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.
Is French language included in this firmware ?
Thx

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.
Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...
I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed
There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

Can someone check the ram available please ? 755mb max ?

He is talking about the max available RAM on the device that is usable.
I don't have the galaxy camera, but the RAM amount can indeed change (The S3 had 7xxMB with ICS and now has 8XXMB in JB)

Ah, OK. In that case the total I have is 755Mb since the update.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Nubia Z11 tips and tricks

Hello everyone. We had better to write the tips and trips of our Nubia Z11 phones. You can find some tips in main subject but it is hard to find in all those messages. This headline should be for little tricks and tips for our phone. For example:
How to prevent Cell Broadcast in Nubia Z11:
If you get annoying cell broadcast messages, especially while you are travelling, you can not stop those messages with ordinary ways.
To stop cell broadcast message (hucresel mesaj) install NoBloat Free app from Play Store. That free app can stop nubia apps and broadcast message center. Open app and find com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver service in "System Apps". Select it and "disable". Cell messages will stop after restart.

}
(I also disabled Neosafe, Neoshare, nubiapark, nubia roaming, appcenter apps with NoBloat. )
How to change lock screen gallery pictures:
First, you must select wallpaper type of lock screen in setttings/lockscreen settings/Lock screen style/-> GalleryLockScreen
Lock the screen with power button.
Turn on the screen with power button again and after you see the picture, double tap to screen to see more options. Sellect settings icon down the screen. You can add gallery in this screen. Unfortunately, i guess Nubia is not working with this option because i have only 20 lock screen pictures and it does not load new pictures.
Any idea how to remove the Chinese widget on the left of the default home screen?

After disabling Neosafe with NoBloat, you have to lock whatsapp to get notifications. I disabled neosafe app and i made whatsapp a system app with titanium backup. But after that whatssapp gives notifications about 20 minutes late. When you lock whatsapp, you get notifications immediately. Even after screen is off after 30 minutes.
To lock an app, press and hold main central button, slide down the app you want to lock. You will see a lock icon next to app's name. By this way you always get notifications.
PS: I'm talking about 1.54 rom (1.48 and 1.53 have the same issue). Somehow some phones give notification without any issue.
PS2: Do not forget to enable notifications of an app in Notification Center in Settings menu.
When you fastly tap your screen 5 times, it makes a screen broken animation and sound. Not a feature but interesting. (rom 1.54)
You can long press home key and turn flashlight on in lock screen. So you dont have to unlock your phone to reach flash when needed. To turn this on, enter settings / other / Accessibility / lock screen fast open flashlight (check)

Hi I have a question. How can I change the lockscreen wallpaper ? I have downloaded a new theme over the nubia theme store and the lockscreen picture is ugly as f...ck. Is there any option to change that?
Is it possible to find the picture in root browser and replace it with another picture?
Many thanks
I changed without problem from gallery. I open picture click to settings and set like wallpaper and set like wallpaper lockscreen. You can change from main screen thru long press on display and set too.
Oh man thank you a lot. Thats was my fault... I have freezed the stock Gallery app from nubia with TB. (shame)
So i was not able to have this Option. Lockscreen Wallpaper
Many thanks now it worked. I was also able to find a workaround whithout the Gallery app. But with the Gallery app its quiet simple-
Thank you alot.

You can try for example quickpic app. In this app you can set wallpaper.
Yes wallpapers can be set over quickpic but not the lock screen wallpaper .. This option is only available in the default gallery app I think

Anyone have a working .some Google Phone Dialer ?

I prefer the stock Google Phone dialer over all others. I tried to install several different .APK from the website with all the Google Phone downloads. But none of them would install or work.
I've been running Google Dialer with LG G6 for a couple of weeks... here's what I did...
1. Install the APK from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
2. After installation, go into Settings, General, Phone Management, Apps.
3. Click the three dots menu and select Configure Apps.
4. Select Phone App, and change that over to the Phone with the blue background (the alternative is LG's Contacts) and click OK.
5. Click on the Special Access at the bottom of that screen. Select Modify System Settings and find the Phone app. Grant it rights to modify system settings.
6. I like to explicitly grant the phone app permissions now, rather than waiting for it later. So I granted all permissions up-front. Back out to the Apps screen and find the Phone app. Click permissions and flip the slider to the right to enable all permissions.
7. Launch the phone app and sign-in to your google account.
You may want to swap out the phone on the lock-screen and launcher as well...

I have not been able to swap out the phone shortcut on the lockscreen unfortunately. It seems the stock phone app is a default that can't be changed.
Thanks for the guide by the way. The stock phone app was aweful. Any way to get the Google contacts app too?

I have the APKMirror install of Google Dialer working just fine. Didn't run into the issue with dialer disappearing. However, I installed the Dialer from the XDA Forum that I referred to in a previous post.

I was able to swap out the phone by going to Settings, Display, Lock Screen, Shortcuts. From there tap on the phone icon (defaults to the far left) and an app list pops up. You need to select the "Phone" app with the blue icon - the green one is the LG-native phone app.
Thanks for the quick guide , it worked great. Finding it slightly sluggish for some reason though
The lock screen shortcut option only appears if you disable screen pin/fingerprint
Thanks, works great!
I am unable to change that default phone shortcut on the lockscreen no matter what I do.
I've always used Google Dialer v3.xxxx rc4 (forget the exact version but it's 3.something rc4), which is the latest version that is able to properly look up phone numbers of places by name on all my non-Nexus/Pixel devices

Hey Gewecht what colour is your in call back ground? I have a LG G6 I get a quick flash of the nice Google blue then it turns a not so nice Turquoise green.
I tried the work around in the Google Dialer main post but no luck as the G6 has no option to change the sim back ground colour. I'm guessing the only way is to disable the stock phone app which the option is greyed out!!
Cheers.

You go to the Settings app, go to Display settings, tap on App Scaling, find the app (it would be in 16:7.9 aspect ration) and tap it, and thusly make it a forced 18:9 aspect ratio. After this, your application should be formatted to support the LG G6's 18:9 display. Trust me, I had to do this with Lawnchair Launcher and a Pixel 2 Launcher (mod) in order to get it to all fit. I hope this helps you ??.
