[SPOOF] Get 'experimental' features by spoofing Intl Optimus G

The features you are about to see are bugged, or not even working, or hangs. These stuff are purely experimental for your own attempt and curiousity. I have reverted to stock myself
Hi guys, with thanks to @non4 for this discovery in his thread Changes brought along by changing device ID!, i went on to find out what happens if spoofing our device as Optimus G? First i tried Korean Optimus G E973 and i got Wise Screen, DioDict, QuickTranslator, Video Editor (crashes on opening). Nothing about the battery screen as in @non4's thread.
Then I downloaded CM10.1 for E975 and extracted the build.prop, and indeed after changing the device product codes and ID, Magic happened
Here are the new features that comes along it, but first things first, no Qslide, no Eco Mode, no USB OTG:
- Optimus G's Video Player (swipe up/down to change brightness, left/right to reverse/forward) - Update via LG Application Manager, and this could be the one working with our Qslide developments? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231472
- DioDict, QuickTranslator
Partially re-mapped Settings (mostly networking related options)
- Airplane mode, WiFi hotspot, VPN, Mobile Networks formed new subsection 'Tethering & Networks'
- NFC, Android Beam formed new Settings subsection 'Share & Connect'
Bluetooth
- Additional 'Device search option'
Can select All devices, Headset, Mobile Phone, PC, Input device (keyboard, mouse, etc.)​Call
- Connection vibration
Vibrate phone when other party answers the call​- Privacy Keeper
Hide caller information during incoming call. Option: Hide all information, Show number only, Disable (default)​Sound
- Quiet Mode
- Vibration controls
- Gentle Vibration
- Vibrate strength
- Incoming call vibration
Long lasting, Rapid, Short repeated, Standard, Ticktock​Battery
- Battery Information, Expected Time to use/charged
Camera App
- Shoot in 13MP
Show-off only ​
How to apply? Backup your current O4X build.prop, do a CWM backup, then
change to these parameters in build.prop
ro.product.model=LG-E975
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=geehrc_open_eu
ro.product.device=e975
ro.product.board=geehrc

of course you can't you can't take 13MP pics with 8MP hardware
it's just like you can't get 24V out of a 12V battery

Can you really change vibration strength?

Is this updated? Gotta try it. +1

Thanks for the rom!
If the only bug is the noise at first 5 seconds on audio recording, it will be great.
I 'm downloading now.

The noise still there ultil it finish??

Tested the rom now. Very stable and smooth.
From my little time with this rom. I can say but a few bugs exist. -
1. Even this rom doesn't recognize the ambient light sensor.
2. Tested the recording. As mentioned 5 seconds of garbled audio. Followed by clean recording.
3. Call recording gives out dirty audio files. (ACR used)
4. Will post if I find any. Hopefully I don't

Which Redmi2 variant are you using? I just want to check if these issues are present on Redmi2/2A/Prime variants, or are specific to just one.

TYVM

Dowloaded, flashed... and removed.
Seriously, either I am doing something wrong or the ambient light sensor issue is just too significant for me.
How can you close a call with the screen dead? Is there a way to disable the ambient light sensor?
Otherwise, calls would remain open until I manually remove the battery.
Other than that, no other unmentioned bug found

You have to use xposed framework and download 'disable proximity sensor' module.

In settings / interface / you can turn on option - power button ends call, I'm using it. Good solution by now.

Tell me How's the Battery Backup in this Rom. I am currently using Resurrection Remix which doesn't has good battery backup. Also the device heats too much.
Is this Better than that?
I am using Redmi 2 prime anyway.

Does LineageOS miss any significant features compared to OOS?

I want to do factory reset because of android system using too much battery and just thought of trying lineageos since I'm wiping everything anyways.
I know camera quality is worse and live display isn't as good as night mode, but is there anything else?

Sultanxda's Lineage OS has almost the same camera quality as Oxygen OS.

Not much, and still you can get away with less battery usage ? unless you're using some power hefty apps or try to many energy saving things which will cause the opposite.
Also camera quality issues can be solved by using either Sultans camera mod (available as recovery zip file) or CameraNX which I use.
And I don't see whats so much better with OOS night mode. LOS is quite customizable when it comes to color temperature.

can you provide this camera you are talking about? I have tried RR but left because of the HORRIBLE camera. The paranoid camera didn't impress me either. I find OOS's to be much superior

Use sultanxda version of Lineage OS, not only camera app.

I use Sultans marshmallow. It's the bees knees

On the contrary, the latest version has battery idle drain problems.Apart from this problem, this is almost the perfect ROM

Thanks to multiboot, I made a lot of comparisons between OOS (betas and stables) and Lineage OS, and I can say that OOS is very stable, is more battery saving and is much more smooth.
On the contrary, LOS is more customisable, but for me one feature is missing in LOS roms: the possibility to have a different ringtone for each SIM.

The one thing I find to be incredibly annoying is that there is no way to disable the heads-up notifications from appearing on the screen when you are using the phone on OOS. There is no 'mid' priority mode in the app notification settings that you can set which allows sound/vibration and the icon in the status bar but disables the interruption. There is also no status bar shortcut for quickly enabling and disabling the headsup notifications in OOS. But this feature can be found in LineageOS and I miss it the most.

I was wondering about that.. I flashed it on a full charge and I'm at 87% with no usage at all. Flashed and sat.. was going to get everthing set up but I'm concerned if I even should at this point. That's a lot of drain after doing this while plugged in ... in my experience anyway. I know LTE uses a lot of battery but after only about 2 hours off the charger and on Wifi, that's odd to me. Hmmmm...

Best AOD (even better then Samsung)

Hi to all,
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy

Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?

I tried this and the battery drain is high even with just the digital clock on.

Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.

I used it for half a day. But he consumes a lot of charge. I do not recommend.

Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.
Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.

I'm using this one, which is very good as well.

I think there's nothing which can be done about battery, whatever app you use it will always drain something.

Can u screenshot your settings please? I can't figure out how to have the AOD come up once I've locked my phone. It never shows.

The app doesn't show the AOD when the display goes off. It shows the AOD when the screen is on and you activate it. I uninstalled it.

It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.
It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.

Question Rear display

In the leaked videos, the user was able to show the homescreen with icons on the rear display. Was that any early MIUI version option only?

In the current firmware, it's not possible... Laybe later?
Anyway, I don't see myself using an app on it, it's really small for that, + it'd require UI changes from the devs...

I would like to use it to answer with speaker or decline calls. Also use it for quick responses to text.

I have noticed I can skip songs on the Spotify playlist when it's playing by accidentally touching the rear display
( I haven't found anything useful to do with it yet tbh and I hope they improve the functionality of it )

Ohh nice! As of now it's pretty early, I'm sure they'll add those little things during updates

I haven't found any way to enable that home screen in rear panel but I haven't been trying either tbh
I don't think I'm getting the red notification light on the rear display either like it shows in the Xiaomi presentation vids but maybe I just need to enable it somehow
I usually don't set my phone's with the screen facing downwards on tables anyway so it's got limited usefulness to me anyway whether it works or not

The latest update to the 'Rear Display' app breaks the red notification indicator as far as I can tell.
But to enable it/change appearance
go to settings>special features>rear display.

I'm on the EU 12.5.3 and I like it but I think I have no red light flashing on the back screen for notifications although it is enabled in the settings...
One of the issues is the rear screen can only stay on for 30 seconds max which maybe why people think the notification is not working properly ( because you would have to double tap to see it even if it is working properly)
And who likes to set their phone face down anyway? These screens are fragile and very expensive !

Honestly think they just had a screenshot of their home screen and made it the image I never actually seen anyone able to use the mini screen

Yeah they haven't ironed the kinks out pertaining to the rear display.
Out of the box, I had the red led indicator show up although it would be there even when I had no notifications.
I like it as a novelty feature but they really need to address the functionality bit.
