Just wondering how many folks are actually in here sharing and participating. Compared to my older phones pages it seems that there really aren't many of us in here. Does anyone have a way of finding out how many folks are actually using the LG G4 Sprint Forum?
It seems all phone forums have progressively gone down.
Partly due to further and further lockdown. But even the HTC forum with the only official Unlockable Bootloader is also fairly quiet. Only one really reliable developer on Sprint.
I also think Android itself being more secure and harder to customize contributes to things going downward.

Which is really annoying for an "open source" os.

Just got our G4s. Hung out in the samsung forums for a long time. S3 forums were incredible, note forums not so much....
Still learning the G4 lingo, hoping some devs take interest in our phone...

Plenty of people. On average XDA gets anywhere from 25k to 55k users per day.
What you need to remember as Android devices have grown and expanded so have our forums. 5 years ago you would find all the carriers for a device within one forum. Today there is a dedicated carrier by device forum.
Also this conversation which is a non development topic should be carried in The Lounge here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60001250
Please take it there. Closing this thread.
So I've had enough of the G4. It just doesn't support development and it makes me very sad. I've bought an HTC 10 which is arguably the most developer friendly phone right now. (besides Nexus of course) I'm sorry to be going as I really thought the G4 had potential. It's obvious now-it does not. If anyone would like to take over my development projects, (MellowMallow roms) please let me know. I'm still happy to help out, but will not be actively developing anything for the G4 any longer.
Miss you guys,
tabp0le
You're a great dev, Tabp0le. Currently rocking your ZVB ROM which is keeping this forsaken phone bearable to me. You definitely deserve greener pastures than this and am looking forward to trying whatever you develop for the HTC 10 which may be my escape as well.
Eff the G4, see you on the other side!
I agree! This phone is gone as soon as the new Nexus or Pixel phones hit the market! I am so done with LG that I will never own another of their products!
Ive been kickin my s6 pretty ritcheous phone but horrible bttery
Don't blame you, the G4 is awful. Can't wait until I can switch! Good luck to you.

Your decision is completely understandable. I am disappointed for those of us still stuck with our G4s, but know you will make a great contribution in the HTC forums. Good luck and God speed. Thanks for all your efforts.
Do we have any active developers currently looking into this device or looking to attempt rooting this one or is that currently a dead scene, thanks to everyone here.
I might possibly pick the v40 soon if not today.

Little screenshots for everyone
This will come soon enough. Except for Nexus/Pixel phones and the like, it takes some amount of time for development to really take hold. The hold-up for the V40 is that LG has not made the bootloader able to be unlocked. If I had to guess, it will probably take a couple of months. IIRC, that is approximately how long it took for the G7 to be made unlockable. After that, expect another month or two before developers start getting much stuff out there.
For me, at least, the phone is good enough out of the box that it will probably take about that long before I start getting bored with it. Luckily, it's far less heavily themed than Samsung's Touchwiz, and there is a relatively small amount of bloatware that came on it!
HI you guys are awesome
Well hi all, I'm 'new', but not really that new, since I've been searching through XDA topics on many occasions for quite a few years now. Not sure why it took me so long to actually make an account, but here I am.
So about me - half geek, half creative, F/LOSS enthusiast for over 20 years, full time Linux user since 2006, interested in way to many subjects to ever become a specialist in any of them within at least a dozen of life spans. Hence I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a developer, but hey, we'll see ;-)
Hello everyone, i'm back here after a long, long time
I used to read alot here when i was 10 - 15 but I think i switched to iOs during 2010s and i never really had my phone in the center of my occupations so i bought some macbook & iphone and i started to learn code. (mostly js)
I would be really happy to help users here, if i can, and discuss about my new device. 2020s seems to be redditable as **** tbh, the xda lost kid became some kind of creative dev who's going back to the r00t
Thank you for everything I have read here over the last years!
More than anything, XDA is a community, and we're all here for different reasons.
Some are here to mod their phone--some joined just to ask a question. Or perhaps, like many, you joined so long ago, you have no idea why you're here (which is totally fine! we've been around for almost a decade). And we're in the process of making XDA more useful to everyone here now that we've moved to much better forum software.
But we'd love to know your XDA story: why are you here, and who are you? What's your day job, what phones do you have, where do you live, what do you like to do for fun? We'd love to get to know you!
Also, be sure to spend some time filling out your profile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/account-details
And also adding what phones you have to your inventory:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/xda-devices
thanks and welcome. I'm one of the guys in charge and my DMs are always open if you ever want to chat or even complain.
Go ahead and make a new thread in this forum instead of replying to this post.

What's up,
I'm youngspeed and I'm here to further my knowledge on tech. But I also have a few questions.
1 how do I sign in to the app because it redirects me to my browser to confirm authorization but when I do it takes me back to the XDA app but doesn't sign me in. (Update: I was able to sign in so I don't have a question about this anymore)
2 does anyone know how to get Google Camera on the Samsung A10e without rooting or flashing because I have been trying but no success. If there is a way can you send the apk please?
And lastly how do I make a discussion? Thanks

Hello. I have an LG expression 3 and a MotoG 7 power .i am here looking for a ROM or theme for both phones.
A while back I had an AOPk boot animation that was awesome and the alien ROM ( I think) . it had awesome fonts and icons. I was wondering if UI theme kitchen is still around and if either phone is rootable and or would be compatible with the theme kitchen. ?? Its been a while but I really hope you can help me find something . both phones are pretty plain and boring .
Hey All,
I am a Redmi 5 user and I am here in XDA to find a way to root my phone and also see that, if there is any possibility that I can upgrade the Android version as mine is stuck at version 8.
Well i like the internet especially for the opportunity to learn from others and share information with people that equaly appreciate the content as much as i do.
Here i gonna admid i am more on the newby side.. I played around with phones in the past. Mostly following up tutorials of people that really understand what they are doing... And this way i can create something with their help that me on my own would be hard to accomplish... We build on each other in different aspects of life and here i am appreciating to receive knowledge of the ones that are really into electronics/software/programming. ..
Its a strange, extremly complex but logic world that i find myself in when dealing with modifiying electronics .
Thanks for sharing this with me
Hi all,
I was in read-only mode for years and now I had to reply to a post.
I've got a Samsung S8, S20 FE, Chinese Android car head unit. I'm interested in Android apps to make my devices more usable, comfortable and so.
Thanks for everyone
Hi there!
I hope I can find all the answer for my question without posting, so I don't bother you
Heya, I am Aaron, joined XDA for useful apps, support and to comment under programs or roms I use, nothing much to know about me
Hi everyone.
Glad to have stumbled upon this wonderful community. Hope to consider myself a developer too very soon taking the wealth of resources here into consideration.
Will put substantial effort in abiding by all rules and regulations.
Thank you and best wishes

Welcome!
Hi,
I've just joined to find a solution for my update problem for my unlocked Att LG Velvet. I'm also interested in learning more about flashing firmwares, custom ROMs when the time comes.

Welcome to XDA!
Have a good read and enjoy!
Hi. I'm a french CS engineer and a Debian addict.
I systematically root all my phones and have a specialization in tuning the iptables to not talk to the GAFAMs. Rooted phones so far : Huawei codenames HAM, NEML51, old samsung phones, a couple of Wiko phones.
I've been following XDA-developers for a decade and decide now to onboard :
* Short-term goal : get some help on a very edge case involving dm-verity and kali nethunter on Nexus5X (bullhead)
* Long-term goal : wait patiently for the day when a full debian phone / ubuntu touch will be available at a relatively low price, and help all along
hi. im just a nobody playing around with his phone 3
Hello there! Time for my introduction to these forums!
I've viewed these forums quite well over the years, so I'm not completely new to here. I've even used tools from these forums (although I couldn't say thanks but that should change . So yes, I'm kind of familiar.
I decided to join XDA because of my phone, an LG Tribute Dynasty (LG SP200). It might not be the best phone to have anymore (and it might've never been top notch), but I have figured out quite a couple of things, and I'm willing to find out what more could be done (e.g. custom roms, which I know none are available for this phone, but maybe research could be done .
Overall, I'll see what the future has in store for me. Whatever that might mean, we'll see how all goes!
