Hello Everyone,
In preparation for getting a MIX, I've gone through every single thread and compiled a quick reference page. I'll update it as I find out anything new.
I've posted it here:
http://lishutterbug.com/mimix/
If there are any corrections/additions/suggestions, please let me know. I hope this will avoid some stuff being posted over and over.
I'll note that I don't actually have the MIX yet, so I can't verify all of the steps I put in.

Frequently Asked Questions
[Last updated on 03/01/12]
Q: I downloaded the latest CM9 build, but [XXX] isn't working!
A: Search! Search the CM9 threads, search Google, but for the love of God - please first search for the answer! If you did, and could not find it, you have three options:
1) Read this, it might very well answer your question.
2) Check out the live support chat But search first.
3) Go here and ask your question. But search first. Did I mention you should search first? You should search first.
In any case, if your question or query is not directly related to development, please do NOT post in the development section!
Q: I can't connect my phone to my PC! What can I do?
A: This is a known issue. There are several ways you go around this - either by downloading to your PC a program called Droid Explorer, or by downloading any of the wi-fi file transfer apps on the market.
Q: When I start up the Superuser app, it crashes! What do I do?
A: Users are reporting success by searching for Superuser updater on the Market, installing it, and forcing an upgrade.
Q: I can't buy apps from my phone! What can I do?
A: This is a known bug. The only way to buy apps right now is through your home computer. Refunding is reported working on the phone, though.
Q: When I download a big app from the market, I get an error message! What can I do?
A: This is a known bug. Nothing can currently be done about it, unless you already downloaded the app and have it backed up. In that case, there is an advanced work around that you can find by searching the CM9 threads.
Q: I heard Codeworkx got a Galaxy Nexus, is he going to stop supporting the Galaxy SII?
A: Nope, not currently. Actually, it means he can use his Nexus for day to day use, and only focus on development on his GSII. This is in our favor.
Q: I found and downloaded an ICS ROM by Airbus360, I heard its better than CM9, is that true?
A: Apparently, Airbus360 simply took what the CM team has been building, added a few useless lines of code (read: they don't do anything), and claimed that its faster. He also pretty much claims to be doing most of the hard work when in fact, he isn't adding much of anything.
If you have anymore frequently asked questions to add, please PM me and I'll add them as quickly as possible.

Hello guys,
at first I want to say that I am really happy to be a member of this community, where so many users from different countries with different devices come together
and conducting experience exchange. This community is really important for every G3 user, especially to be updated on latest software or to solve problems.
But what really drives me nuts is the ongoing asking about how to root Lollipop in every possible thread.
The answers are mostly the same, what makes this question (let it be a post or a thread) almost useless.
Not only that it annoys me if I am continuously reading the same things, it also makes the whole forum confusing and relevant informations may go missing.
Why we cant create a seperate thread for rooting Lollipop whereto all this issue regarding threads will get removed?
And let us be honest: If you are not able to collect knowledge about rooting from the already existing threads, you shouldnt do it anyway.
Sorry but that had to be said
Just my 2 cents!

Wrong section for your REBUKE. We have Mods who determine whats right or wrong to post and they delete or move threads accordingly.
This rant is a waste of time and space. IMO should be in the Q & A Section but thats for the moderators to decide.
The next big thing will be to ROOT the G3 in its Lollipop/ART state which is why you see this question asked everywhere.
whoever comes up with a way to do this is worthy of praise.
I think the hardest thing to do is 1) Tell everyone at once that it doesn't exist yet, and 2) Tell everyone once it's achieved!
Sticky's do not work, in this day and age where information is so readily and quickly available, most people will not read pages of Q&A, no point discussing it it just will not happen.
Would be nice if once root on stock is done, that a message could be sent to anyone who's posted keywords 'root' + 'stock' under the LG G3 forums. Maybe that's an app in itself. IFFFT + Pushbullet etc etc
I second that my man. RoOT me stock G3 xda
we want to do something about the root Lollipop, please let

Hi Friend,
Please try this thread that I just created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
...it's tested to be working fine for my LG G3 variant (D858HK). The steps are from this original thread; I just added an extra manual step (and my thread looks long because I tried to detail the step, with pictures).
Since previous development thread was closed, I've been getting a lot of pms. Everyone thanks for the kind words and for offering me help. Thumbs up for this great community.
The reason I didn't post the link was because my laptop or my upload server let me down. At least that is what I saw when I woke up.
No big deal, thought I would upload it upcoming weekend. But as we all might know, today oos 2.2.1 was released. My custom oos was based on 2.2.x, so I was thinking to rebuild this rom again based on the latest software. Meaning it will take a couple of weeks before it will be ready.
So far this briefing. If you have questions regarding this rom, for now please ask in this thread.
Link to original thread:
COSX
To the features, just add the viper4android... And try to make the files app show the root directory too.
I feel you should post ur 2.2.1 build directly when its ready..take your time and i do support what u stand for!! and if possible add network speed indicator
Since there was no answer to this on the original thread, what do you mean by theme support? Layers?
I'll be patiently waiting for your release
But, for playing purpose, are there any guide somewhere to create a moded rom from a stock rom ?
I've been looking but all i could find was from 2012
I don't think it's as simple a remove/add apks from the rom zip :cyclops:
Request
Please donot remove the stock oos camera which has manual focus iso exposure .... __/\__ please
I have had no luck installing lineage OS on my Oneplus 5. I keep running into more errors and questions after each supposed instruction video or website. Please point me in the right direction guys!
I'd point you to the instructions in the official rom thread. Although unfortunate, it is not uncommon to encounter errors. Try to follow each instruction to the word, keeping track of each step you've taken. This ensures that when you encounter an error, you have firm idea at which step it occured.
Most errors and their fixes are usually not unique, so you'll find their troubleshooting by searching the posts in the thread itself. I usually read the last 10 pages of a thread before flashing the corresponding rom/mod.
Finally, instead of looking for a fool-proof instruction set (I doubt there is one, since there are myriad of issues that can occur), try posting your error/logcat/steps in the thread and requesting help. People here are quite helpful in my experience.
My apologies if this is not the answer you expected. Hope you find what you need. Cheers!
Is it possible to use a gsi on Samsung Galaxy A9(2018)?
More specifically the Pixel Experience Plus 13 GSI
Ive seen a couple tutorials on youtube and some websites but they seem hella shady to me also its my first time trying to install a custom rom/gsi so i dont wanna brick my phone
Ive seen a lot of devices on this website EXCEPT the A9 idk why
Like anyone who knows is it possible? If yes can u explain/share how?
Thanks to anyone who spends their time on this thread!
I have written a guide on installing GSIs on Samsung devices here. Follow at your own risk. You must have TWRP flashed to your device.
Also, please remember that we require device specific questions to be posted in the device specific threads. Please take a moment to read the Forum Rules linked in my signature.
As a courtesy, we will move your post to the proper section.
