Does LG G Flex need a firmware update? - LG G Flex

No one is start asking about KitKat update yet, which will bring many improvements to Lg G Flex. According to web sources these include faster performance and reduced memory usage, and features such as white status bar icons (G Flex already have this) , wireless printing, inbuilt NFC payment and IR blaster support, a full-screen “immersive” mode for apps.
What other features would you like to see in LG G Flex?

720p is not too bad on this device. The 720p HD display looks impressively sharp, and very bright too.

I was wondering the same thing, sure would like to see some KK love. I was surprised LG would release a brand new phone with 4.2, but then again it could have been an issue with the ISP's not being on the same page or the like. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.
A side question, I am coming from google nexus's, and not use to update delays. How is T-mo on issuing updates to their devices? Are we likely to see a modded KK rom months and months before ISP roll it out?

Optimus G rom on Nexus 4 actually works!

Hi Guys,
I just tried to flash a stock Optimus G rom on my Nexus 4 and it booted up!
Alot of stuff is working but Wifi/GSM doesnt work =[
I didnt change anything in the ROM! I am using optimus G kernel and build.prop!
The screen looked absoluetely gorgeous!
Anyone willing to help me get a stable ROM?
Thanks!
What do you want from the Optimus G software?
There isn't usually much development unless just for the sake of it.

You realize these 2 phones are technicaly not identical? And why would you want to install full stock LG software on a Nexus?
I wouldn't mind having an optimus g ported ROM. Just for the sake of playing around with it. Plus if I recall correctly they did have a few fun features to mess with
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah this might be interesting. I would assume that you would have to take the drivers from google's site and put them in the rom but that's way above my head...anyone willing to do that?
Which rom exactly did you flash?

I'm betting this was from the kernel Maybe this is a good tip for nexus 4 kernel devs!
Just curious, but would you mind posting how you did this? Also, how much better does the screen work? More importantly, is the camera better (or does it even work)? I've been eyeing this for a while (HERE), and was wondering if I could format/re-partition my device into an Optimus G?

I would like to see an optimus g based rom since I like trying every version of android. And can you tell us which rom you flashed or just give the link?

I've actually been looking for an optimus g port for the nexus 4. I thinks its pretty nice and has good features. I would definitely use it and having options doesn't hurt; isn't that one of the reasons we love android so much ?

optimus g
I had an optimus g before my Nexus 4. There are quite a few things I miss. The UI is good the camera has a number of better settings and options. I looked being able to use the feature that allowed you to watch a video while texting or really anything else. The bad part is that it is still only ICS. BTW the screen does look much better.

You mention the screen looking better. Does the optimus g have the same screen as the nexus 4? I keep hearing how the nexus 4 is washed out but I am satisfied. This makes me want to try a ROM with a kernel that has different color settings. But I'm so satisfied with rooted stock rom that I do not see a reason to change tbh

yes it has the same screen. the difference is the calibration of the screen, aka rgb value, gamma value. i have heard the optimus g has a better calibrated screen out of the box. btw if you want the different color settings you dont have to change the rom, its all in the kernel. make a nandroid of your setup and flash a kernel with gamma control, eg faux/franco. this is just a kernel change and your rom will still be the same stock rom, but you will have control over the calibration of your screen. stock is okay and you get used to it, but you would be surprised how much better it can be. oh, and with the kernel you will probably get a faster phone with more battery life. but if you dont like having the custom kernel you could always restore your nandroid

I might give it a shot. So you are saying battery life stays the same or even improves? Guess I'll keep stock and try another kernel. What would you recommend? I've heard good about Franco's kernel. Guess ill try tomorrow. For now I'll just say good night

[Q]

I am looking for a ram cleaner widget equals or similar to the one that comes with LG Optimus G.
Any recommendations?
You don't need one.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk 2
Correct, Android does not need a RAM cleaning program. I did not know that LG included one. Shame on them. "Cleaning" your RAM will only result in greater battery use, and decreased performance.
Thanks for advising, but i am still looking for one.

KitKat and the Spen. Touch wiz alternatives?

Hi everyone, got a Note, installed Omni KitKat nightly and I'm as happy as a puppy. Only grief is that I'm missing all the spen candy. I know it needs the touchwiz framework and strongly doubt if Samsung is ever gonna grant us with a KitKat ROM for note 1, so here's the question: Is there any work in progress or any workaround to regain some spen functionality in KitKat? We could start by replacing that ugly cursor with something more phablet friendly.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
Hmm seems nobody is using their spens anymore...
I like the way kitkat is going but if any dev is reading this id like to know what to expect concerning these missing features:
1 - spen specific functions and airview like option. It could be implemented from when samsung update the note 3 to 4.4
2 - video calling over 3g (i.e. over regular phone)
3 - multiwindow, though i think its already in the works
4 - handwriting recognition
Mind you this is not a request for an ETA, just if these features will be available on the note1 under kitkat.
Thanks in advance and if you have other features in mind please share. :-
Sent from my TouchPad using Tapatalk 4
Also, what about hdmi via mhl? Again, no request for eta, just enquiring if these features will ever be available on kitkat. Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
This thread reminds me of my days in solitary confinement. Always talking to myself... Anyway, i think the feature i miss the most is actually video calls over 3g. Wonder if it's dialer app specific or there is more to it. I'll try different dialers and let - myself- know
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
Most of the features you are taking about are Samsung implemented features.
- Calls over 3G can be done using any 3rd party app.
- even mhl is proprietary to Samsung.
- If air view and all were to be implemented on AOSP&CM based roms, wouldn't it have been already done as it was there in Samsung 4.1.2. So why to wait for 4.4? Most of these roms are not specifically made for stylus phones.
- Multi-window does work. Still under development. Although there are a lot of floating MW options.
- About handwriting recognition, it's used in Samsung keyboard. Again Samsung.. If you just want recognition, there are apps to do that.
You say it's not a ETA thread but keep updating it with your own posts every day. If you asked this to any Dev, why not wait for one to read and answer?
Made some progress with spen on kitkat. Fortunately that ugly cursor was ditched in the latest nightly and with gmd gestures app and gnote (from the forums) the spen is almost useful again. Also i find the swype like feature in SwiftKey much more convenient than handwriting recognition. Keep you updated with my progress. @nokiamodeln91 3rd party dialers offer video over data connection. I need the umts/3g implementation of video calling. Thanks for your input though.

I Too would like SPen funtionality
I just installed KitKat Verizon Note2. I bought my Galaxy Nexusin '11 only to be dumped by Google, now with my Note2 that I really love, hear that I have to wait until next year sometime, if even then. I would really like some love for the Note2 SPen functions in the KitKat build.
Thanks to everyone working on these builds.
@stargazin I'm hearing that spen gestures have been implemented in latest omni nightly (12/12), waiting for download to finish...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
Please let me know how this works for you, and possibly a link to the ROM. I am really missing my pen functionality and apps.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
The implementation is basic right now, swiping left right up and down plus double tap can be assigned to apps or soft keys. It's still to be developed, for now I'm using GMD spen control which is much more flexible. The rom is omni kitkat nightly 12/12. Take the time to read the OP on how to install the rom. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516933

I'm using GMD as well, and Handwrite too. I would like to see the whole Note 3 SPen functions brought to the KitKat. There is a lot of cool stuff there. Some of the MotoX functions as well. My friend just received his Moto, and rubbing it in my face with all the hands free functions, talking to his phone while it is just sitting on the desk idle, screen off. That is cool. If I had any idea on how to program, I would try to figure this out.
Being over 50 now, and trying to learn all the new programming the young guys are doing, I'm impressed. Kudos to all of you out there tackling this. :beer:

[Q] Moto X Colour Calibration

Hello all,
As I am still a new member, I was unable to query this in the Fauxkernel thread.
Does the Faux123 Kernel Enhancement app allow colour calibration on the Moto X? If not, is there another kernel / app that does work on the Moto X?
Thanks.
Bump.
Is no one able to confirm this?
As far as I remember this ability was removed in kit Kat. Don't quote me... But I'm pretty sure that's it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking to get a Moto X, but am not really a fan of the oversaturation inherent to AMOLED screens. So I'm basically looking for something that can help tone it down to a reasonable level.
Had a Nexus 5 before, so I was spoilt
No, there isn't any setting on Faux123 app to alter the colour calibration.

Hey guys,
is there anyone working on a awesome Paranoid-Rom?

While I'd love to have Paranoid on this device, I'm not switching ROMs till we get one with the Moto apps working. (well, moto display at the very least)
Guess I'll be rocking stock for a long long time.

why? when you unlock the moto display, it does not show another lockscreen. No problem with that.

Press the power button if the moto is locked or open an APP with the smartwatch...
I'm working on porting the rom, don't know how long it'll take. First port but so far so good
If u request it on their G+ page usually they will consider it but one of the Devs from PA would need to own the device.
