So, Nokia released open sources of their phones. I can't posts link right now. (only like this: nokia . com /phones /en_int /opensource)
Can we hope to custom firmwares like Pixel Experience?
Chances are low. This particular phone model is old and doesn't have a big user base.
There were some tries in this forum, maybe we could get those people notified.

how? I really tired of this lagging and bugging official firmware
Related
Hey guys in my earlier thread some ppl told me that i could update from asian firmware to european firmware. I would like to knw if there would be any problems by doing that, and would like to know ur experiece after flashing.. Thanx for ur replies. I don mind waiting an extra month for asian firmware release if u feel flashing can be problematic, if not i'll b happy to flash.
Ps: I knw a thread like this is available but there are no conclusive answers there. Thanx.
I like to know too. I hope no issue here other than losing the Asian keyboards. I assume one could still get a third party keyboard for say, chinese characters input.
Ya i recieved a reply in hardware zone forum, ppl have upgraded their firmwares from dd or dx to xx, xw (european). No problems were found, infact performance increased a little bit. One of the guys told me not to update cause firmwares released in europe tend to be buggy like beta versions, only final versions are released in asia and other places thats why updates are few. So if i were u i'd wait for firmware to release in my region.. Wat's u take on this? Do u still wanna flash ur phone or do u wanna wait a month extra......
I personally haven't had any issues with the euro fw to speak of. Like doomsdaycs mentioned I definitely experienced performance increase and even more once i installed the modaco rom. I ran the latest JG3 for a few days and it was great then i wanted the modaco rom so I reflashed with JG1 and it's still had no problems. Hope that helps...

That's utter rubbish.
Went from APAC to Euro firmwares, and never looked back.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Thanks for sharing.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
Answer: You need to create a new APN in order to use the 3G network. As for WIFI.. I am able to connect to any WIFI as long as I have the password.
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
Answer: Kinda but you will still experience it even with the JG5 firmware.. rumor has it that samsung will release an official fix for this on the end of july but there is no official word from samsung.. all we can do is cross our fingers and hope or best alternative.. use modaco's fix.
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
Answer: Yup, compared to the stock firmware, it is able to identify my location within a 5 meter radius.
** upgrade to the latest google maps version.
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
Answer: Google.. first time setup.. yes. But now, depending on your location and signal strength.. takes about 8 - 15 seconds.. longer with 2 bars on my phone.. about 30 seconds or so. [GMAIL]
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
Answer: When I am playing Let's Golf with very low volume then listening to music using the default player at level 6 - 7 volume. I do experience it sometime..
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
Answer: I am able to install Google Pinyin.. the qwerty keyboard still shows ABC but when you press each letter.. it will show the chinese character equivalent.
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Answer: Weird case, never experienced that issue on my SGS after doing 3 firmware upgrades.
And no, I haven't rooted my phone yet.. hoping to hear from samsung by the month's end to know if they finally release a firmware fix for the memory transfer issue [NAND].

I second that.
The ASIAN version to be honest.. is full of crap from the TELCO's which renders the phone perform slower.. and I'd like to add that, my phone starts and loads faster now without the singtel crap.
Thank you M3keni. I'm glad it looks so positive.

You are welcome bro.
Disclaimer though.. other users may have a different take on my experience with my SGS.. hehehe.
..seriously, samsung should fix the NAND issue with an update firmware soon.
..but we have hardworking developers to go to for MODS.. iLike!
Before you decide and buy the SGS, visit your nearest telco showroom to try and feel the phone. Will help in your decision.
Have a good weekend!
Thanx for the info i'll be flashing madoco rom too.. cheers..
I'm waiting for the Froyo that's supposedly 3 times faster than iPhone 3GS. As it is now, it is a lot slower than even iPhone 3G. The black screen and long pauses is beginning to get to me.
I'm hesitant to root now as I'm uncertain about the hardware aspect of GPS, and my fear that the process might not be fully reversible, hence voiding the warranty potentially.
i have a question that how to upgrade the firmware from Asian to EUR use kies without root??????
i want to change that but have no idea, thx
yes please, even I need to know how to flash my Singtel FW to the eu version like the friends above mentioned. Mainly I want to do this without rooting...!!
And once after upgrading, will it allow me to upgrade to froyo when it is officially released!!! via Kies or OTA.

Can you suggest the fw number of the official euro firmware that you are using now so I can install as well.
No problem at all dude.
Flashed from DDJF3 to XWJG1 (Indian to some European country)... JF3 had major issues... JG1 is good... not great though. Most of the problems of the stock firmware were resolved by Modaco's Custom ROM... try it out!
You guys should give the new firmware JM1 or JM2 a twirl. The difference is night and day...no joke..and that's before root and any modifications.
@netboyhk I initially used this as my starting point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88
Note that in the video he says it HAS to be on a specific com port....ignore that part. It's all relative to how many usb ports u have and how many devices plugged in etc etc. From my experiences it's REALLY hard to brick this phone but your mileage may vary
I think you mean JM1 and JM2 - unless Samsung's moving faster on firmware than I thought...

I can confirm that it IS FULLY REVERSIBLE. You just need to reformat using ODIN while putting an official ROM.

Post here... :victory:
There is a no need to put your pics in Development Thread. Because it will only screenshots so no point.
You can easily upload here to editing your first post.
Pretty sure you're talking about the list of "Z" apps that are found on development handsets. Your phone is not a retail model, instead it was built for OS and firmware testing. It is like a retail one in most ways - that is to say, it can probably be used as a phone - aside from the following:
1) Whoever sold it to you probably stole it (or got it from somebody who did) since they aren't supposed to be sold in stores.
2) It probably doesn't *quite* run a released version of the OS, so it may have bugs that were fixed later.
3) It may not be possible to update it using the retail update channels.
On the more exciting side, though:
1) It should support USB Mass Storage mode in the bootloader. This means you can access it exactly like a flashdrive (but hold on...)
2) It should have an unlocked boot loader (no Secure Boot) so the OS can be modified.
3) It'll have a bunch of internally-developed apps meant for testing, many of which will have unusual privileges.
4) The phones should support kernel (and other high-privilege) debugging.
Such handsets are rarely seen (since they aren't ever officially sold) and are pretty useful to hacker-types looking to find ways to unlock the phone so we can have more access into it. These days we have a fairly good grasp of the stuff that such phones might teach us about retail models, though there may still be people interested in buying that one off of you.

While I honestly don't care for official updates, I would be gladly surprised if LG did give this device a 5.1 (hopefully 5.1.1) update.
On the other hand, the website seems like a clickbait site, so see if you can find a more reliable source.
Why shouldn't lg give 5.1? 5.1 falls in 2 year support cycle

This phone was born with JB, we got KK and now LP
I think we wont get nothing else from official stock lg.
But Cyanogen,Paranoid,Aosp,Resurretion remix,Aicp,Slim,blisspop... And all stock modded and ports still under develop for years
In my opinion, the Lollipop 5.0.2 update brings some issues (like memory leaks, call problems) that can't be solved until the 5.1.1 update, so LG will probably be forced to push the 5.1.1 at some point in time. They can't leave their smartphones in a bad state for a last update.

We need somebody here to report they in fact received this update.
LG needs to push a new set of code for us to look at.
This probably isn't true, otherwise the forums would be buzzing right now.

You should ask this to rom developer in the rom thread that you are running.
This is due to the fact that the custom OS, that you are running does get the latest Note 7 updates and the last one more or less cripples the device. Making it useless as a phone.

That's cause your on a note 7 port rom. And your device is being recognized as a note 7 because your build.prop is showing it as one.
I got that message to when i was testing nemesis n7 port, the other day. Plus it was being pushed from the Samsung+ app for me. Does your rom have that app installed?
The big question is, even though we have different hardware, if samsung can't decifer the difference and they try to push software to our device. Will it [email protected]*k up our device? Or will our different hardware provide a safegaurd against this?
I don't know their limitations for forcing software onto our device, since it's not really a N7. Maybe someone with some better knowledge or coding skills can chime in on this.
Hmm....on an interesting note. I received this message on my T-Mobile Note 4 while running LamlazyROM V5.0. I went ahead and flashed Norma v11 and Aurora 4.1 in order to replicate this particular message. To my surprise. None came up. Not even the Note 5/Note7 ROM Port showed this anomalous message. Now the billion dollar question is, just as another member commented, "Will this update brick my Note 4?" In all honesty, I've tried on several occasions to try to run the Software Update feature that's been baked into the ROM and with every attempt I would get a Forced Closed/App Crash notification window. So yeah maybe it is possible but unfortunately we'll have to wait and see what happens. Yay. I guess.

It certainly will. The note7 runs off completely different firmware which is included in the ota. Never update through ota on a ported rom.
Hi guys, i am just wondering if anyone manages to flash the combination firware on a s10plus?
Why exactly do you want to flash a combo firmware on a S10+?

To change the csc of the phone.
of course... theres special way and files needed but i cant share unfortunately since not my files/method..
i also managed to get system privs already.. super easy!
No offense but you are like a teenager teasing a toddler with candy. If root is possible and so many people want it why not share? After we do live in the information age

im sorry? not sure where you saw that it was rooted? I have been working day in and day out looking for exploits to try and root it since it launched.. im talking 100s of hours.. theres no point in releasing something that A. isnt root. and B. that samsung can go and patch before it becomes anything remotely useful.
to add, I have friends n fellow devs i have worked countless hours with for years.. if they share something with me and ask i dont release it then I am not going to burn bridges and go against them, that would be very crappy for someone to do.. we trust eachother and if anything comes of it we work it out the best we can as we have released a high number of things to xda over the years including root on s8 s8+ n8 n9 to name a few so not sure y u r upset..
I was simply showing it is possible and has been done.. i figure its better to kno its possible then to have no hope whatsoever..
rant over.
