I just finished Rooting my LG K20+ (LM-P260) [Metro Version] last night and was very happy with the new Pokemon Spoofing ability I gained. That was the main reason I did it.
Anyways, after testing it i was very dissatisfied with the (LM-P260)Rooted Device's performance. Which may have a little bit to do with being Spoiled from using an iPhone to spoof for months. (iOS just runs the game smoother, faster and i have no clue as to why. I've been told its due to different/better architecture. Shrug)
So I was hoping that upgrading from...
1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 MSM8917 2 GB RAM
to
1.8 GHz Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon™ SDM450 2 GB RAM
Would make a world of difference, but... I ran into THIS problem...
I have found that rooting the LG K40 is IMPOSSIBLE because you cannot boot the phone into fastboot mode apparently??
So now I am like well Crap! However, I am very happy that the K40 was free! I simply stole it from my sister when she got her iPhone7. LMAO
The even BIGGER bummer is I personally use a LG Q7+ (LM-Q610MA) which is equipped with...
1.8GHz Octa-Core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SDM450 4 GB RAM
Which, also, CANNOT be rooted because the Bootloader cannot be unlocked.
This is just too dam ironic for me!!
At first I felt proud because the LG K20+ is considered HARD to Root, but finding out that the K40 and the Q7+ are MORE difficult if not IMPOSSIBLE to Root just makes me sick. I am such a big fat sad panda right now.
EDIT: Actually, maybe it is just that LG Phones just plain suck or are impossible to Root... LOL SMDH over and over and over again!

Nah I doubt it's the phone, maybe it's a reading issue, like you missed something, sort of like how you made this post, in a completely wrong sub-forum.
You're in V40 territory, here. That 1 letter does make a difference.. .

Oh my gosh you are so right. I mistook the V for a K somehow. I'm sorry and I apologize for that. I swear i was lookin for info on the K40. What i found was disappointing anyways. K40 cannot be rooted because it will.not boot into fastboot.
Thanks again for the reply and I apologize for putting this in the wrong spot have a great day.

[Q] Is Android 2.2 on galaxy like Nexus one? (because of Nexus CPU type)

Hi guys..
I sad Google developed 2.2 to improve snapdragon cpu and becuase of that the benchmarks shows 3X faster cpu on nexus,
will work 2.2 on galaxy like nexus ? or not for SGS cpu!
at all what you think about power of CPU/GPU in SGS on 2.2 ?
Is nexus cpu better than galaxy on Android 2.2 ?
The Galaxy's CPU/GPU is the best on the market right now and with 2.2 it should fix a lot of software problems with the SGS.
Actually can't wait for 2.2, and it's released around about my birthday!
When is your birthday
22nd September mate. You can buy me a Galaxy S as a spare if you want
well I have to see it first.
Guess Samsung finds a way to **** up the phone again i'm sure of that.

If froyo on the SGS sucks, then the chefs in here will cut it open and make it run properly and it won't matter what the FW was like when samsung sent it out. Also, TouchWiz is fine, even if it does have a dumb name.
I have been worried about this. The sgs line and droid line do not get over 15 in linpack with 2.2. I dont see the same increase in speed as I do with snapdragon based phones. I have read this is due to the snapdragon having 128 bit vs 64 bit something but cant find the forum post about this. The sgs line with 2.1 is still faster then a 2.2 snapdragon based phone but it must have the lag fix installed. Without the lag fix it is slower for sure. I will try to find the forum post about 128bit vs 64bit.

As far as the difference between the two benchmarks, they are written to benchmark two different things. Linpack can run almost entirely within the SIMD/NEON portion of the cpu thereby showing off the enhancements made by Qualcomm. Quadrant stresses the entire core showing off total system performance showing that only in certain situations will Snapdragon outperform any other Arm based core.

From what I've seen and read, the 2.2 builds for the Galaxy S do NOT have a JIT compiler enabled which explains the lower scores. The N1 got the huge CPU boost from having JIT enabled. That doesn't explain the Droid X's scores, but then again I haven't read enough about 2.2 running on the DX to see if it has JIT installed.
What're you think? I'll buy SGS 2.1 or wait for SGS 2.2 ?
It's very important to buy most powerfull phone.
I like Nexuse cus it's tested sucssasfuly in Android 2.2 and I'm gono love SGS if it will be better than nexus in 2.2.
Help me to choose better path )

I would wait at this time before purchasing an SGS if that's your concern.
Out of the box, the current phone/software is laggy and disappointing. If you're willing to hack it with some of the various fixes found here (I prefer samset with mimocan kernel), then you won't be unhappy with the phone, but there's no guarantee that Samsung will get FroYo right, and that if they do get it wrong that the devs here will be able to bring you a hot, non-laggy, super FroYo ROM before there's better, or at least comparable hardware done right by the manufacturer available.
That's no reflection on the devs here at all, I'm just thinking that Samsung won't release the firmware until the end of September, the devs will need a couple of weeks to make magic at least, and so now we're well into October. By October, the SGS will be a six month old phone. Six months is a very long time in the Android hardware world, and we'll likely see a landslide of new phones with faster CPU, maybe even dual-cores in the fall for the holiday season. The only thing the SGS will have over other phones at that point is the Super AMOLED screen by Samsung, since they're holding it all to themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if Moto or HTC try to kang the iPhone display tech for newer models if they can't get Super AMOLED for themselves.
In the android world it is nearly impossible to but a device that won't be out of date within at most a year and sometimes within 6 months.
Having said that, I don't see anything that will topple the sgs quite that soon. Although there is talk of dual core snap dragons, there has been nothing announced yet, and indeed the two new Desire handsets are still on the same chip.
I wouldn't expect to see anything that will have more raw power than the sgs until at least mid 2011. If there was anything closer than that it'd already be getting hyped.
If you keep looking at what is just over the horizon then you won't end up ever getting one, because there always seems to be something new out in a few months time. The sgs isn't prefect, but it beats the hell it of most anything that you'll be able to buy this year.
My humble opinion of course, but I think that if you want top end hardware, the sgs will serve you very well.

Based on your responses so far, I'd just get an iPhone 4 and be done with it.
There are a lot of people here and elsewhere who are perfectly happy with the device. I for one haven't installed the lag fix and I don't experience any lags, except for the situations below:
1. I'm trying to do something while there are several apps being installed/downloaded from the marketplace in the background. I think this will be resolved with the dualcore next gen CPU's.
2. Using LauncherPro, for all that is good and nice on this earth, I do not know why it took me 3 months before the option to change the shortcut on its drawer was shown to me. Imagine that, 3 months just to show the option to add a shortcut. Jeezus. I click on add shortcut and it took 3 months. Someone shoot me. I'm using ADW now and am very happy.
Out of sheer curiosity, why is it that you need "THE MOST POWERFUL PHONE"?

The hummingbird core is widely recognized to be faster than the snapdragon core. Benchmarks do not tell you everything. Reference:
You might think that the Hummingbird doesn’t stand a chance against Qualcomm’s custom-built monster, but Samsung isn’t prepared to throw in the towel. In response to Snapdragon, they hired Intrinsity, a semiconductor company specializing in tweaking processor logic design, to customize the Cortex-A8 in the Hummingbird to perform certain binary functions using significantly less instructions than normal. Samsung estimates that 20% of the Hummingbird’s functions are affected, and of those, on average 25-50% less instructions are needed to complete each task. Overall, the processor can perform tasks 5-10% more quickly while handling the same 2 instructions per clock cycle as an unmodified ARM Cortex-A8 processor, and Samsung states it outperforms all other processors on the market (a statement seemingly aimed at Qualcomm).

Here is a GPU comparison for some of the leading smartphones:
Motorola Droid: TI OMAP3430 with PowerVR SGX530 = 7-14 million(?) triangles/sec
Nexus One: Qualcomm QSD8x50 with Adreno 200 = 22 million triangles/sec
iPhone 3G S: 600 MHz Cortex-A8 with PowerVR SGX535 = 28 7 million triangles/sec
Samsung Galaxy S: S5PC110 with PowerVR SGX540 = 90 million triangles/sec

You can't really say froyo is over hyped, I mean its free, and beyond that its an incremental upgrade.
I don't see why anyone would be staying on eclair once official froyo drops, and you can't deny that it will bring a performance boost.
Now I doubt it will bring quite as much of a boost as it gave to the N1 until we get a few months of development to really get it running sweetly, but all the same its still not over hyped if I ask me.
With optimized ROMs and whatever fixes we need (cuz samsung WILL break something) I figure the sgs will shred the N1's new scores. I recon we'll see around 3k in quadrant.
Considering how far ahead of almost everything a lag fixed non-stock-rom sgs is now, we'll see something really special once froyo starts rocking our crotches.

Why powerfull phone? ok i'll tell u:
Because I don't like to buy an expensive phone (like SGS) that power is lesser than a chipper phone (like N1) !
Because I'd rather a phone without stalling (lagging) to play games and running big applications. I will very gray if i'll se lagging/stalling...
Because I need a phone with a good support (it's enough, don't need mazing support). a phone with a clear (alive or nice) Future
JIT for Hummingbird should be promising.
High Mem
anyone got any idea on the high mem issue?... when i was browsing the Gmarket.com, i realize 305 total available memory is not enough for me... and the web page just closed....

why old processor?

why have they put an old model processor in there? why not the MSM8255?
i am holding out for a little bit, i am due an upgrade now, but dont want to rush into buying this phone if something better is coming.
Plus want to see what modding can be done to the software / themes, 3rd party apps etc

because Microsoft only support the "old" snapdragon .
why apple customers don't ask them the same question , they use the same GPU as what is in 3gs a year ago ,
a second thing wp7 is developed on the snapdragon which is more than enough for now with it's improved drivers and direct x 9 support , it will perform even 2x better than a DHD with 8255 processor

I have an HD7, it is lag free and very responsive, I think the processor will be up to the task as long as the coding is optimal.
Because having the next most powerful processor isn't important. It doesn't matter what kinda specs a device is running s long as the device runs well. Apple has proved that.
And from what I have seen, MP7 runs beautifully.

True that.
Old processor?
Maybe this is a bad news to you, but it's good to me cause of my hd2.
I probably would have been crying about the same thing, if technology was growing by leaps and bounds. But its not right now, technology is kinda stagnate as of lately. Yes, the HD7 has the same processor as its predecessor the HD2, but its not a bad thing. especially now that the new rom has came out for the HD2, it feels faster than ever (you can go on the HD2 and Leo boards to attest for yourself). Another thing to remember, is that the new Windows Phone 7, is not an OS that needs a 2Ghz processor to run buttery smooth. I think that we are used to the PC ideology that the next thing should have a higher number than the last, in order to be considered and respectable upgrade. But even those Intel and AMD processors, reached their, threshold for raw computing power (for now) and the companies are now refining their codes, and drivers, in order to utilize and maximize peak performance out of what they already have. (That's why 4Ghz desktop processors aren't mainstream yet)
Another thing is the WP7 is standardized with base set requirements for internal specs. I truly doubt that you'll find a noticeable difference between all the launch devices behavior with the OS, because of their processors. The mail screen might open up a little quicker on one device, but again, that could be a driver code magic for the display adapter in a particular phone, so the one that "wins" in our mind, should have been the "newer, speedier" processor but because of the refinement and more developed drivers, the one that displayed the inbox quicker was the "older" processor. (I hope you guys got that...lol)
So what I'm trying to say at the end of the day, is it really doesn't matter about the processor spec, because whats inside the HD7 is more than plenty to run the OS and its apps very very nicely.

Whats beter sgs3 or one x

Whats a beter phone sgs3 or htc one x?
How this question is connected with Optimus Black?
the optimus black is the best!
just played with my friends one x and i gotta say its impressive eventho its not rooted yet (pfft) =P
but i think it dosent have an sd slot and s3 does??? i dunno design wise i would def get the one x over the s3...... but i hate sense =P but thats not a biggie hahhahahaha.... but quad core i dunno... are we even gonna really need it say in the next 3-4 years?? dualcore is good enough even for ICS, heck even our OB single core is zippy enough... (look at the awesomeness of zeus/ marvel)
ive always had this minor doubt about battery life on multiple cores also i mean yes eventho the workload on each core is reduced so = less battery drain (theoretically) but youre still ultimately powering up 4 + 1 cores... and thats gotta add up to sth right????
i think when the time comes for a recontract i would still keep my OB cos well its just sexy and the ppl here are nice! =)

So i can say both are nearly the same specs, but the Galaxy came with some new features not in One X such as ( S-Voice natural language commands and dictation - Smart Stay eye tracking - Dropbox (50 GB storage) - Image/video editor )
But ONE X has the Beats Audio
but for me ill go for ONE X cuz am an HTC fan (having HTC Sesation XE)

NONE!!!!NONE OF THEM ARE GREAT...take my word on that...the BEST CELL CURRENTLY on the Market are GALAXY S2, XPERIA S AND HTC ONE "S" and maybe the Galaxy Note. BTW, my BESTEST BEST cell is the vintage HTC HD2. therez nothing like it. one of a kind
quad core is a gimmick. NO ONE NEEDS a quadcore (tegra's is "penta core" i beleive??) cells for now.
it is turning out to be like the megapixel gimmick of the digicam market.
most of what 95% users need is a single core 1.3/1.4 Ghz Processor and 512 MB RAM.
u tell me WHY should i get a quad core?? even if i DO get money to buy one, i'll go in for the dual core snapdragons instead of the quadcore tegras or Exynos'.
so, STOP riding the gimmick and if you are DRASTIC in getting a new cell, get the S2 or the One S.
(better get the S2, it's got a HUGE dev pool & is still good enough to keep the user satisfied for the next year and a half )
hope i don't get flamed
sorry if i bother anyone. was just sharing my views

But you are damned to run Touchwiz. We snapdragon guys are on CM12 and it's getting pretty damn stable already Needless to say it blows Touchwiz totally out of the water in terms of performance, fluidness and overal responsiveness. Ah and I noted 20%-30% faster NAND throughput times, not sure if that's due to Lollipop (ah yeah, forgot you guys are still waiting for Samsung to release lollipop, haha)
BTW, I didnt optimize anything at all, just benchmarked out of the box Touchwiz, as shipped. With tweaking I'm sure it's possible to squeeze out a bit more. I was just merely saying that the benchmark the OP referred to is completely wrong.
Ey, mine is bigger !!
But mine is thicker !!
By the end of the day few more or less frames per second won't make much difference but if you want enjoy Gear VR than only Snapdragon version is supported so far.

One thing to consider is that this article was released june 2014. This is way before it was released. In the article it state the snapdragon has a quad 2.5ghz processor but was reased with a 2.7ghz. If you want to know who's is bigger and who's is thicker you need to test them now and both plane stock roms out of the box.

BTW, I didnt optimize anything at all, just benchmarked out of the box Touchwiz, as shipped. With tweaking I'm sure it's possible to squeeze out a bit more. I was just merely saying that the benchmark the OP referred to is completely wrong.

How is that working with the S Pen?

It works Yeah I've read that a lot here "but I will lose the s-pen when flashing custom ROM". No you will not !! Not sure why people think that, maybe they think that because it's a samsung feature it's impossible to support on a non-samsung system ? Since Samsung is using the linux kernel, they are bound by law to release all drivers. So they did, including the s-pen, so it's supported out of the box on any custom ROM !
All you need to do is download the 'markers' app from the store and after you've installed it, you have an s-pen sketch board, and after that it just works on everything else too (on the CM12 interface etc) , including air support (no need to touch the display).
The only detail that I don't like too much is the pointer itself. On stock it's a small dot, via markers it's like a mouse pointer. However I read yesterday that people are working to change the pointer, it's possible via an overlay. But then again, it's not bothering me much anyway.

"... You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention..."
Now that sounds awesome, thanks for informing us.

Amazing geekbench results!

I ran today compute geekbech 4 and I am amazed.
This thing beats an Samsung Galaxy S5 at compute by almost 600 POINTS. And I just turned on Force MSAA 4x in developer options. This is just the stock rom, without any custom kernels or cpu patches. I know this is not the CPU bench, this is more based on.the GPU, but I can't belive that this phone is. 100 points far than a samsung galaxy s6, what is much more expensive and powerful.
This phone still has life in it, maybe even with patches, overclocking, etc. we can actually beat an s6 at the compute benchmark. I will try kernel esal and other patches, maybe we can reach 2000 points on compute benchmark, and maybe even some cpu improve in performance.
I let and a screenshot of the score, too, at the attachments
Oh?! Really?! Amazing!

I am getting the same scores at the CPU bench, I'm talking about the COMPUTE bechmark.
But still, on that scores you have custom kernel/patches?

Stock kernel with patches...
I enabled Force MSAA 4X,but the score is lower than before (a few days before on GB4.1.0: 1762, now: 1652). My GeekBench account: zhaozihanzzh ,you can check it.

Lol, I had even backround processes and I got a bigger score by 100
I've looked a bit into developer options and I had at the time of the benchmark I had turned on also "Force GPU rendering"

Well, this phone has the new Kirin 655 CPU, of course it's fast
If this phone is getting bigger scores than a oneplus 3, I'm.definitely getting it.

I thought you wanted to learn building ROMs etc. That's not that easy with another phone without source code. I'd suggest you to get a phone where its easier.

For me, iph 7 is a piece of cardboard. And it is not the internals about. It's about the system. Too much worse than android. No customizations. Just to get root or "jailbreak" acces, you need to install some no-name chinese app and hope you don't brick your iphone.
And still, why you post this here? This thing is totally different than an android phone. If you have a Huawei P8 Lite/P8 Lite 2017 or at least a Huawei branded phone, or have android on your iphone, then post something.
Your reply is pointless.

Lol, don't panic. IF I am going to buy a P8 Lite 2017, I'm going to buy in august, september, but still, IF I am going to buy it. If I buy it at this moment there are no custom roms, root I think just appeared, and I want custom roms.
I looked all day on google and youtube and, it is not that hard, IF I'm not going to get errors.
Next week I'll start developing, when I will be in vacation.

You can get (almost) all the customization you need while Jailbreaking and can make the app yourself You can't brick an iPhone, you can restore it through itunes and always bring it back to life, while that isn't necessarily the same on the Android side. Does having an iOS device mean I can't visit or post on these forums?
You said the geekbench score was "amazing" and I posted something that really is amazing ( double the score of the Android counterpart equivalent, for real?)
Why so much negativity? If I didn't have a Huawei device, do you think I'd be here ghosting through these forums? We don't need so much negativity mate, make love not war, why should different operating systems hate on each other?

I don't make hate, you can post wherever you want, and there is no war, I love android for more apps, etc. , and I love ios for smoothness, esthetics and looks. If there would be an iPhone 7 Plus with android on it and same geekbench results, that would be amazing.
