Yeah, but after using the flex for a while going back to the note 2 makes the screen seem wider in the middle then the top and bottom.
The flex feels like 36,24,36.
The note2 now feels like 36,45,36.

I kinda miss my note 2. Right before i left Verizon and my sammy the development was getting super sick! The devs over there were just friggin good! I haven't gotten to know some of the guys over here yet. I really hope this phone gets popular and development takes off. This phone is badass. Hopefully some sweet roms are on the way!

I found a replacement screen/digitizer on eBay that looks like it had no LG branding on the front bottom. It's 114 some odd bucks. Mines not broken, but it would be nice to know if is genuine AND makes the front super sexy.

When 4.3 hit a lot of people took the update which locked the phone down. Before that bootloader was wide open and there were a ton of just badass roms and kernels to play with. New roms dropped almost daily for a while there. At this point I would just like to flash anything! Its been months. I've got the shakes.

Yeah, luckily I'm the type who doesn't make decisions without reason, so I didn't take the update until news about it came out. Unfortunately since I have Verizon the bootloader is still locked for me, the Casual exploit falsely unlocked the bootloader, meaning it said "successful" and when I updated recovery it still brought me the "Unauthorized Software...take to nearest Verizon store" error, 3 separate times after restoring to stock, so I gave up. Idk what's up with my damb phone.
Enough of my problems, as far as yours goes, you can fix it with a jtag (Riffbox, $150), although you'd have to make an investment on that or send it to an expert (I've seen $30 offers). Other than that, with specifically the Note2 you can trip a resistor with a piece of solder to tell cpu to load bootloader from SD card, you can find that around the forums on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49611038). Those are the only two methods. :thumbup:

Yeah got pretty sick of my Galaxy S4 and it's mf3 update. Specs really don't matter to me as long as everything is stable. The only thing I'll really miss is the ir blaster. I debated on going to the htc one all the way up to the xperia z1. I'm just gonna wait. Can anyone recommend me some good roms? Something stable with features like Halo and Focal and all the good stuff? I know there's a lot and I'm late, but I'm sure there a lot of others looking for the same answers since google sold out of nexus 4s and theres a lot of new users. I should have mine tomorrow morning.

Well, HTC devices are very high quality, after you get past the carrier blocks to root, unlock bootloader, s-off and flash a custom rom, (aosp preferably because its always newer than sense).
But I'd rather get the updates first at the cost of a camera not being as good and ease of rooting.

I agree. HTC is my favorite when it comes to hardware. I've had the N1 and a One X+ from them.This is going to be my first LG. I know when Google works with companies on their Nexus phones they're usually top notch. My last one was a Galaxy Nexus and I was amazed by the build and it felt perfect in the hands. I can't wait to see how the Nexus 5 is.

Yes, I think you are right, but as we commented in another thread the other day (the sony nexus concept phone) there are some brands who could never work with google to make THE NEXUS. They can make google editions, as samsung and htc did, but the nexus, in my opinion, has to be a cheaper phone, so sony and htc should be out of this game...

True but the fact that it boasts about waterproof, build quality and parts, gaming controller instigation for Ps3 and PS4 it's almost like they know how to build a sturdy tablet. Nexus 7 just has a popular dad and a reliable company which makes it popular.

I actually used it a lot. I would use it when I lost my remotes and got too lazy to look for them. At the sports bars to mess with my friends and some other random things. The funniest part of having it was when people would ask what app I used. Mainly iPhone users. Then i would have to explain it needs an ir blaster! Maybe the next iPhone will have them (not) lol

So anyone who knows me..what's up guys....Looks like we need alot of work here I take it?
Hey. I remember you in the 2 forums. Yeah it's dead over here but there's a thread in general that kinda let's us flash roms. Someone just verified it working and starting to dig deeper into it to maybe get us some roms made up. Check the thread out.
And if you are running mi9 then root with dlv and disable your update cause once you are on mj5 you can't go back as it stands right now. It will auto update if you wait to long

It's funny that you mention it, just today we discovered that it is possible to flash custom ROMs. If you're on MJ5 and something goes wrong, you won't be able to un-brick your device. However if you're running an earlier firmware you can use Odin to re-flash stock. Can't wait to wipe this TouchJizz off the face of the earth, just waiting for that MJ5 Odin. :good:

Once your on Mj5 as of right now the most you can do is Root and theme. im Hoping we can get a Odin Package for MJ5 soon so we dont have to worry about bricks and we can start testing more things with out worrying about not being able to recover.
true..root ,theme and debloat ....You would think.after debloating this rom. And using sd read/write values that would increase a decent amount for such a early development.
Is phone sure loves to use alot of stock ram for some reason..

We will have Odin soon enough. For now root, Debloat, and xposed is good enough for me. My 2 biggest gripes were the green eqs tabs, and the green battery. I themed to match the blue tw jelly bean theme, and removed the battery icon. Looks much better. Also did some other things with xposed. Very happy for now.

Hello all.
Im new to the note 3... but not to xda. I dont post much at all. However I do have a rooted skyrocket and give all credit to Vincom. I still read through his threads regularly. I got the s2 when it was the flagship and now ive upped the grade to the next one. I think its wrong of the manufacturer and carrier to charge us a boatload for this device and chain it to the dock so to speak. It seems there is some experience in this thread so I will be checking in often. I also had the mj5 update sneek in before I knew what happened and it does seem that we are all leary of the dread 600$ brick. Thanks to all who dare. You are my hero (s).

I probably didn't give the phone much of a chance I only had it for 48 hours, but the lag and the fact I got offered a iPhone 5S, Galaxy Note 3 and a Nexus 7 (2013) for it, made the decision easy.

You got offered all three? or chose one of the three? - 48 hours isn't much of a test I gotta say, I'm actually toying moving to it myself (M7>Note 3> Nexus 5).

I got offered all three for the S5, so it was kind of a no brainer. I'm now toying with the idea of trading the iPhone for another S5, and trading the Note 3 for an iPhone, seems long winded but that's the only option. I need an android phone and a phone with iOS.
Regarding the lag, I've read a few places (reviews also) that it can be pretty bad, how true is it? - surely a phone with such a high spec shouldn't lag even with TW bloat?
Where did you get this offer? I'd happily part with my s5 for those 3!

Well, I've owned one for about a week now and I don't have all this lag that some people are talking about. Sure there might be a tiny hiccup here and there and some of the native apps take a second or two to open up from a cold start, but I don't have any major issues.
It is nothing out of the ordinary and it's an overall fast and smooth device.

It's all simulated lag. Turn off double click to start S-Voice. Disable My Magazine. Turn all animations down to 0.5x and BOOM, "lag" gone.
I actually did this side by side with the M8. I noticed the M8 was ridiculously fast at opening and switching between apps and the S5 was always slightly behind. After changing the animations on the S5 to 0.5x, BAM same speed.
I went to the s5 from the s3, as I skip every other galaxy. (s1-s3-s5). I have to say, what a difference between this and the s3. Dont get me wrong, they are both similar. But a 1080p amoled is stunning, the phone also feels great and is a beast. Also, not sure why so many people are complaining about the finger scanner, I can easily unlock using one hand and my thumb. Great phone !

Personally I think it's a fair trade off. I had the M7 and it has bare bones software features. If they would have added more software functions like multi window I probably would have got the M8. Realistically the M8 is the M7 with a depth sensor. They didn't really need to upgrade the processor because it ran fine on the 600 chipset. At least I know Samsung is trying to utilize the power of the 801 chipset.

When people see new devices it's like an ora of "I want" - you'd be surprised what some people would offer for something so that they can get their hands on it straight away. Crazy offers aren't that uncommon tbh.

I hope it don't ruin our awesome battery life. I know it did on my wife and daughters G2's.

I've heard KitKat does affect the Flex battery a little.

I have spoken with T-Mobile customer support and they claim that there are no current plans to upgrade the LG G Flex to KitKat. I am guessing that they just don't want to say a word until it is official.

To those calling to customer support asking when the update is going to come out, they don't know! I used to work for as a supervisor for escalations for sprint and the carrier doesn't disclose that kind of info to the csr and whenever customer call we just tell them either we don't know or that soon. So don't even bother as the csr don't know.

Hell half of the ones ive spoken to over the years didnt know what a bootloader was or when you refer to the OS by name ,i.e. icecream sandwhich, jellybean, they dont know which version it is 4.1, 4.2, 3.4, etc. I believe I read some where that T-Mobile has officially said that the flex will update to 4.4 but it didnt specify when. But for customer service to tell the guy above that it will NOT update, thats the recorded call that will make it into the training course of things not to say or do.

Same goes for retail. Most of the people selling phone don't know 1/2 the stuff that phones have or do. I learn more from the the video reviews from the likes of phonedog, techno buffalo, pocket now, etc. Xda is the best source to find out when the update will hit as someone will post up the news.
thats cool so t mobile said any day now. well i hope its soon kitkat was awesome on the nexus 5 and it was pretty good on the s4. I am hoping for the same results for the G Flex. but can anyone confirm about the whole battery drain. That would ultimately be a deal break if it affect battery life. defeats the point of a 3500 mAh battery.

The link I posted back a few posts was a Flex user from somewhere not in the US. He noticed a slight drop in battery life with KitKat. It does kind of suck but battery life will still be good just not as great. I'm thinking in a day or so AT&T Flex users will say the same as that guy.

I've said other wise multiple times now. The notes on AT&T kit Kat said it had battery improvements and i for one definitely notice them, when using the phone for instance i went 52min before dropping down to 98%? 2% with a screen on time of near an hour is good even for the powerhouse battery the flex has.

My friend said he noticed a drop in battery life with his S4 after KiKat and same goes for the G2. I guess will find out soon enough with the AT&T Flex. Something seems to be draining my T-Mobile Flex a little more lately. I think I read Lookout drains the battery some even when you disable it. What is a good battery app to see what's draining?

Has anyone installed xposed with any of the popular(G2, gravity box, exthemer) since they upgraded to kitkat?
All this worked fine on 4.2, but not sure how it works on T-Mobile 4.4
I know it should work fine, just wondering if anyone has done these tweaks yet?
thanks!
Gravity box works mostly, g2 xposed works except for the nav bar features, g2 tweakbox works for a bit then bricks your phone completely. Im using a tmobile lg g flex with kitkat.

I can confirm that xposed works on kit Kat AT&T d950. I use gravity box kit Kat version and, themer beta, and gravity has an option to color and shrink the nav bar

Also can confirm that Xpose works in Tmobile KiK Kat for the Flex. XuiMod works perfect.

You can try editing the build.prop. Not too sure if this will work for ART. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659493
thanks, but without custom recovery, I'd rather not risk messing with the build.prop at this point.

I hear you. TWRP has already got me out of bootloops hence the reason I won't leave 4.2.2. Sorry to go off topic, but does anyone know if 4.4.2 kernels are still being worked on? or abandoned?

Someone asked that in the recovery apk thread and playfulgod made a joke that he'd "given up" on the device, but I think he was more referring to someone asking about an eta for what's obviously a very difficult task
I am slightly surprised there isn't a custom 4.2 Rom yet though. I know kit Kat is preferable and why build for an outdated os etc but I honestly thought we'd see one or two pop up by now.

I understand asking about the eta could get annoying. I just want to know if it's still in progress.
If development stops then I'm going to try and get a oneplus one. Cyanogenmod right out of the box for $300. Only problem is you need an invitation to buy one. The Flex is awesome, but without custom roms it's appeal fades.

I was behind on tech news and had not heard of this amazing device with stellar specifications. The whole invite thing seems really....ummm...annoying and difficult. I am an avid phone enthusiast I would buy one in a heartbeat but in this rare case of consumerism...I most likely will not be allowed to. (If anyone gets an invite, let's be best friends by the way okay? haha!)

Yeah the invite thing is a little strange/annoying. If I get an invite and buy one then I will get a few additional invites from them to give out to others. In the unlikely chance that I get an extra invite then I promise you brittoking it's yours.
Yeah, I kinda thought there would be a rom or 2 by now as well, but this phone is a royal PITA to develop for; look at how many talented folks have bricked this device, some more than once.
If its not fun to work on, then there wont be alot of development for this phone...
Time will tell; my first JUMP is in August, so I will be patient until then..
I was a flash whore with other phones and last one being the the G2. It's nice to just enjoy a phone by taking a break from screwing up my phone with Roms/hacks. At times I miss it but will probably get a G3. I'm thinking it will be just as hard to get Roms as the Flex. I'm tired of rehashed Samsung phones and I passed on the M8. So it is what it is. LoL

The G3 will be infinitely more popular than the Flex. I really like the 6in screen, but I might have to move on soon. If the G3 gets a 64 bit chipset(unlikely) then I will buy one definitely otherwise the oneplus one is the best deal for android.

I understand the G3 will be more popular then the Flex but LG is locking phones down more. D-Fuse already said he was done with LG because of this. I have a Jump to use. I know one thing I'll miss with the Flex is batttery life. Nice not having to worry about charging it.

Same here buddy! I signed up today and saw the first round of 150 invites is going out this week. Each invite that buys a model gets more invites to give out. Here's hoping!

DFuse is done building roms on the G Flex? We should petition LG to unlock the bootloader. I remember we rallied against HTC when tbey started locking tbeir phones down. HTC cbanged tbe policy as direct result of pressure from the community. Well they compromised because all devices came locked, but HTC would unlock individual phones per request. Meaning no warranty.
