I am kind of lost trying to figure out how a stock Android device could be using nearly 16gb of storage for the OS. Does everyone else have this same amount of storage used up for the OS? Am I the only one who thinks this is insanely high?

Exact same for me.
Same here also. Not sure what's so high about it.
Hmm, perhaps the phone uses A/B partitioning like the Pixels?

That is correct according to the arstechnica review.
"Essential has been reliably providing monthly security updates for Android, and these updates are extremely easy to apply thanks to Essential's support of Android's optional A/B update system. The Essential Phone ships with two system images, allowing an OS upgrade to be performed in the background on one system partition while the other one is used for running the phone. "

Thanks for the explanation, this makes sense.

Long time waiting for a solution to mirror wp screen to pc/tv/projector. It Seems that currently there is no solution for wp (although we have seen it in Microsoft' presentations, and people from Microsoft have told us that due to Security reasons it can only be done with a device with an especial rom with that implemented).
Perhaps now that ativ s have been unlocked, it could be done. Any ideas?

I don't think its due to security reason but rather patent issues..
Anyway, it doesn't matter the reasons, the fact is that there is NO way to make a live presentation with your Phone, isn't it? Brrrr

Sad but true.
The current state of hacking is interop-unlock.
If anybody can hack the bootloader and custom roms are available maybe this feature can be enabled.
Wasn't the issue to do with drivers. I'm still not sure we can fiddle at that level

Thanks for your help.
Hey guys!
Today I'd like to present to you, my first (ever) WPF application!
It's part of Universal Android Toolkit (See my signature), which is still WIP, but I thought I'd present it to you as a stand-a-lone app.
So don't go thinking weirdly if you see it in Universal Android Toolkit, once I've released the newest version (Which is gonna be friggin' sweet).
Anyways, it does what the thread title says. It gets detailed system information from your device.
This information includes, but is not limited to:
Build ID
ROM Name
Build Codename
Build Version
Device Model Number
Device Board
CPU Type
Manufacturer
Dalvik Heap Size
Default Alarm Tone
Default Ringtone
Carrier
GPRS Class
and
Client Base
Of course this isn't everything, but I'd like to keep some stuff until the release of UAT. Ya know, kinda keeping stuff secret (CaptainSparklez' voice)
Now, before loooking at the screenshots, please bear in mind, that this is literally the first WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) application that I've ever created and released to the public!
So be nice when it comes to the design of things.
I'm a Linux guy, so I kept the close and minimize buttons on the top-left of the screen, where they belong

The source can be found on my GitHub (Although I'll sync it later on, and not at the time of posting this, due to me still needing to add some stuffs, like a title...)
This program is no longer supported by me! Check out Universal Android Toolkit for this kind of thing!
Hello everyone, I bring you this topic knowing that our G2s have some sort of crippled multi-user functionality.
But I was used to use the full multi-user support on my Galaxy Note since 4.2.2 (or any other Android with 4.2.2) which differs from LGs by a mile.
LGs implementation is limited to show only the apps you allow without means of changing wallpaper, pulling down the notification shade, etc. Android 4.2.2 can handle more than what LG gave us, like having a totally new and independent full session, including Sync accounts and apps which I found very convenient.
However when I tried the procedure described here it errors out for some reason with a "couldn't create user" error.
But when you get into the System Settings you get to see the new option "Users and Restrictions"

}
If you go there you'll see:
If you click Add User:
If you click OK:
Obviously that's because of the error I got inside Terminal. I also disabled LG's Guest Mode in case it had something to do with it but it was a no go.
I'll try some other methods and keep you posted. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers!
this is neat, @Rayan are you already has the fix?
Nope, unfortunately I have not found a solution yet.
I have tried all methods available but no solution yet.

My girlfriends note three just gave her a low memory notification over the weekend. To my surprise storage is showing 29 gigs of the factory 32 tied up in "system memory". I can't seem to figure out what is taking up so damn much space. The phone is running hyper drive Version 7. I'm sure I'm leaving out some kind of important information so just ask. Thanks.

My guess that this has something to do with the ROM Slots in safestrap? Boot into recovery - is this rom on the stock slot? I always install to the stock slot so I have all memory available to me unlike installing to the other slots.

Didn't even think of that. I bet that's what the problem is. I'm pretty sure I left the stock slot alone. Thanks. I'll check it out.
I'm still on 5.1.1 and I used Multi-Window on my old Note devices daily for work. I found a temporary workaround (although it's still a MAJOR hassle without it) and this is the Android M feature I've been dying for. Pleeease, please please tell me it made it into the final release for this device. Did it?

Out of the box, no...But supposedly this is a way to enable it. Someone would have to try that out and report back I guess.

Works ok...

Yeah, I installed 6.0, and tried it out. It works... kind of. It's more incomplete than I had hoped and won't work for my purposes. oh well.
If you have root you can enable it easy with a root explore.
