Heya,
So i experienced a lot of problems with the stock ROM on my S4 taking up way too much space and being kinda slow and crappy, so after hearing of CM and the speed increases and benefits it can have, i decided i'd give it a go, and for about a year now its been my daily driver.
However it has some issues, which are recently becoming more of a problem to me.
Now the first one might have seemed like a deal breaker to anyone else but honestly i wasnt too frustrated with it.
This issue is that the 3g connection with the device when im out and about straight up doesnt work. It shows red in the pull down menu and just doesnt work.
Next issue is that the camera has been severely downgraded in image quality.
Now recently i've been requiring the phone more than usual when out and about doing my job as tech support.
My issue is that i want these features to work correctly, but i dont want to run the stock ROM, can anyone advise how i can either fix these issue with CM or can you help me choose a different ROM which doesnt have these particular problems?
Run one of the Google Play Edition ROMs. Fewer problems will be had as these ROMs are versions of Android untouched by Samsung except for the inclusion of the libs needed to properly run the phone.
Another alternative is to go back to stock, but with the addition of some time spent in debloating the ROM, and with the addition of a new launcher to replace the stock version.
Excellent, thanks for the advice, i've now installed JFLTE after a bit of research and it's so far a very pleasant experience, ill report back if i have further problems with the mobile data connection but so far it appears to work.
Hey all. I just got my Note 3 two weeks ago and I love it. The battery life is great, great specs, unlocked bootloader, and I find it easier to use in terms of size compared to the Galaxy S5. There is only ONE problem with this device.
The mic stops working during skype calls after random periods and the only solution is to hang up the call and call again. This lingers even after restarts of the app and phone.
Being a Nexus user since the Galaxy Nexus, the first thing I did was install TWRP and the latest CM nightly. I personally can't stand Touchwiz, which is why I sold my bootloader-locked GS5 to get this bad boy.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is it a Skype problem? Is it CM? Lollipop? My mic is fine, it works perfectly in every other application.
Also, I've noticed that USB 3.0 mode doesn't show up in the Connection type selection menu. Is USB 3.0 file transfer only supported in the stock kernel?
Hello Guys,
Just like so many others I experienced a loss of speed with my Nexus 7 2012 Wifi Tablet. Most lags occur if I open apps, and since I recently upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 (I manually downgraded to 4.2 after experiencing an unusable tablet with 5.0) YouTube videos stopped running smoothly too.
After reading a lot about it, I rooted my Nexus 7 yesterday (successfull according to RootCheck) with the intention to try LagFix free. But I just get the notification "TRIM is not supportet on following partitions /data /cache"
Why? What exactly does that mean and is there a workaround hidden in the settings? Are there any other apps that effectively speed up Nexus 7? I don't feel too comfortable doing the trimming manually, cause I do not know a lot about programming.
Does it help if I install CyanogenMod (10.2 seems best for Nexus 7)? Is this not supported TRIM a problem if I install CM? And will CM be able to speed up my tablet at all? (I bought it sep 2013 and use it frequently) Or are these lags 'natural' for a two years old device and I should just live with them?
Since - as mentioned - I am quite new to this whole programming and flashing, I'd rather not mess with the software if there is a big change that it's not going to make a difference.
Thanks in advance for your time & answers!

A nightly of CM13, installing Trimmer (also called fstrim) and setting it to once daily and removing journaling ought to fix your prob. I had the same prob before too. Go on Gtrcraft's CM13 thread, he has the steps I told you in more detail.
CM10.2 is a good choice for speed and performance, I've been using it for 3 months and there is no lag.
This is my best setup for Nexus 7 : CM10.2, Fstrim (set twice everyday), Greenify
New here so first, Hello to everyone.
I am planning to buy a LEMFO Lem4 pro. The things that attracted me most is the large screen and full call functionality. Have watched a number of reviews on YT which helped to gain trust on the build quality & battery so far, but left with the following questions-
1. Once YT video I saw on "Hidden Settings" where every app opended were in Potrait mode. So, is there any option to make all apps in landscpae orientation, to work comfortably from wrist?
2. I saw some posts regarding problems after OTA. So, id there anyway to disable OTA update or there is a fix already?
3. Saw something regarding GPS/Accelarometer not working but starts working after inserting SIM. Does that problem still prevails or any solution out there?
4. Can someone give a hands on review after a month / number of days use? How it's still going? How much stress it still handles? Touch response slow? Wrist turning activating watch slow? something like these.
5. Is it okay to stay with the stock android if I strictly want to use for making calls, reading emails, sending text and use absolute necessary apps like Google maps or YT. Or there is a way to root yet?
6. Previously I was planing to buy Finow Q1 pro, then saw a serious notification problem (from XDA board). Is there any software related issue with the stock android also?
Thanks for you patience .
Re Lem4 pro
I have a Lemfo Lem4 pro since 3 months and i use it as my primary phone with sim inside.
1 : use 'rotation control' apk on play store.
2 : no problems after OTA.
3 : no problem with GPS (but i have my sim inside).
5 : it's ok with stock Android and not rooted.
This is the best watchphone i ever get ( have tested more than 10 models since 10 years ), the sound is really good in phone call, the screen is great (cool for the eyes), GPS is ok with Google-Map, wifi and bluetooth ok, despite the big screen she's cool to wear because lightweight, strap can be change... I use it with vocal command (Google) for everything : call, reply to sms, research, etc...
No problems and happy with this watch.
I have already bought the new Lemfo LEM4 Pro watch phone about 1 month ago and I love it! Nice big enough 2.2 inch screen, easily visible at daylight
Looks Slimmer and weights lighter than the Neptune Pine and with 16 Gigabyte of onboard non-removable memory, I have already installed many apps and used almost half of its memory (only apps, no music, photos or videos as they take huge amounts of memory, but I did copy some of all aforementioned files just for fun and they work great)
It comes with a very restrictive app launcher, just install any launcher from the Google Play store and you can install any widgets and apps you like, I went for the Nova Launcher and it works great
On the negative side, the GPS doesn't work (maybe I am doing something wrong?), it has only one useless other than video conferencing front facing camera that has terrible resolution and accelerometer doesn't work for some reason
But I much prefer it than the bulky Neptune Pine, also thinking of buying a cheap flat camera for the occasional snapshot that I need to take while on the go

I have to agree. I have two Neptunes 128GB. I also have a lem4. They are all wasted by the crippled Kernel and OS.
Now the LEM 4 PRO. Wow, I paid over the odds for it, but I didn't mind as LEMFO UK, have always been good to me.

Its semi rooted. Very frustrating, as I cant use any of my banking apps.
I ended up fully rooting. Rooting was tricky. I started by following what I posted in LEM4 thread. Root fails. So you have to factory reset phone. Install the Windows version of Kingoroot and run that on freshly erased LEM4 PRO. It will take a while and then come back saying its failed. Reboot LEM4 PRO, install SuperSU app and you will find its rooted even though it failed. Bonus is now it didn't install all the Kingo crap.

many thanks for the replies everyone. I have already ordered Lem4Pro and now waiting for this to arrive. About the rooting, can you elaborate the process a little? May be 6-7 bullet points? That would be very helpful. And I remember to read some guide line about the GPD issue ... here it goes for you guys to try out-
I found a solution to broken GPS on Lem4 pro if it has failed for some if they factory reset watch after the latest firmware upgrade. I flashed back the Aug 2 firmware and did not factory reset after this update and GPS returned to normal. To keep GPS working you must not factory reset watch after OTA or Flashing firmware All good now This is a temp fix until or if a new firmware fix becomes available.

Hi, could you share a link with aug 2 firmware? Unfortunately GPS does not work in my lem4 pro too. Thank you.
How Can I remove google account on my Lem4 Pro? I need to change google account on my Play Store in Lem4 pro. How to change it?
Phone call quality.
Hi all!
Regarding phone call quality of you useing the watch as a stand alone, how good is it? How good is the signal strength compared to regular cell phone?
And how well does Google assistant translate voice accurately? Does it mess up text messages?
I've had Lemfo lem 4 and was disappointed about phone call quality, even changing providers. People couldn't hear all of what I said when having lesser reception, even if my cell phone had no problems in same areas. I live in Stockholm, so signals should not be a problem unless it's a week antenna on the Lemfo.
Any experiences about this would be much appreciated!
Best regards!

Excellent info!
One question; do you have experience of the regular lem4 (not the pro), and if so, is the call quality or signal strength any better?
Reason for question is that I owned the regular lem4 and had problems with the antenna.
Thx!
Beware that this device is not equipped with a magnetic sensor. Very sad, given I bought it exactly for navigation (why else would you want a smartwatch with huge screen? who would expect that nowadays devices without compass still exist?!) GPS navigation software will not be able to show you direction of you walk, only change in your location - very inconvenient...
Guys,
Have one of these but find if i charge it from a pc then the display becomes corrupt and disappears. The only way to fix
this is to reboot the watch after every recharge. Is this normal?.Thanks

Good to know about the gps hardware that is non-existent!!
Actually, this is just one more thing to frustrate me even more right now.
Im from Brazil and I just bought this new huge thing in my tiny wrist ( the pictures I've seen on internet do no justice of it's size and bulkiness) and the one thing i have to say is: i dont know what im doing.
I wasnt able to put another keyboard that was easier to use,
i couldnt syncronize with my phone so that I could receive the notifications
I wasnt able to get it to recognize my sim card until one day later with it inserted
I wasnt able to get it to respond to my "ok google".
the google voice command that people told me to install receive my commands in portuguese but only obeys if they in english (?! wtf) so I can't really use it because it recognizes what i am saying in english as the closest word in portuguese there is...
I wasnt able to do voice-to-text writing even tho it came with the device settings.....
realsed only just now that there practically no apps for this particular smart watch that really is fitted for it.
all of the apps for smart watches on the play store are for Android Wear watches and dont work on it, because this is an Android 5.1 especifically made for this product...
I'm just lost as, on top of all that, all the content I find on the internet to educate myself is in english and in technical jargon
Very frustrated!
Lemfo Lem4 Pedometer
Hi,
I have an issue with my Lemfo Lem4 Pro, which is pedometer functionality.
With embedded watchfaces very often pedometer counter resets to 0, rarerly allowing to count more than 1000 steps. This is annoying
Additional applications for counting steps installed work properly and count.
Any ideas?
Have you tried this launcher? Works ok on the Lem4 Pro.

I still prefer the Google Launcher though.

Seems to be a round watch launcher. The LEMFO in this forum is the square one.
Does it need rooting?
Yes it works perfectly for the 640x320 screen of the LEM4 Pro without any adjustments. I'm testing that launcher now and am very impressed so far. It seems to be popular with fans of the watch.

Replacement Charger Cable
I have the LEMFO LEM4 Pro and my charger has been damaged and will not charge my watch. The wires have separated near the magnetic connector. Would anybody know where I could get a replacement charger for my LEM4 Pro?

Check AliExpress. Make sure you double check the style of charger. Some are curved like the Lem6 / Lem5
