S4 I feel like when it comes to rom support it will do better same goes with android updates and the phone is damn sexy lol
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

The only advantage I find in the s4 is dev support but so far I'm okay with LG software.
I really can't get past how small the s4 is..I've been spoiled by my Note 1 for so long anything smaller isn't an option for me.

Agreed! I've also felt like the S4 is a bit flimsy by comparison. When I hold my G Pro it feels solid and sturdy. When I hold my girlfriend's S4 it just feels light and cheap. Having all kinds of Dev and ROM support would be nice, but the LG Software isn't as bad as TW and we've got thecubed hard at work cracking the bootloader open.
Until Samsung steps up their build quality I'll be sticking with other manufacturers.

Same thing here. I bought the St and found the screen to be too small. This phone is perfect on the stock ROM.

I seriously can't stand Touchwiz. For the first time in a long time the manufacturer UI on a phone doesn't really bother me. Rock on LG!
Seriously the only gripe I have is that the contacts app doesn't let me manually join contacts.

When I do that it gives me a listed of suggested contacts to join. Its nice but not as robust as any other phone I've used. Basically if the name doesn't match between the different contacts it won't suggest joining them, and it doesn't give you an option to join manually. For example my mother. I have her contact listed as mom, but her Facebook profile is by her real name. It doesn't list her in suggested for this reason, so I can't join the two contacts.
I really appreciate the help

Well I've decided to keep all the phones( note 2, LG Optimus gpro, and the s4. I said I wasn't going to be that guy spending so much money on phones but it just kinda happened. Lol and now I can't make up my mind...damn you cell phone manufactures.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium

I had the S4 and I sold it and bought the G Pro and love the G pro Better because the more customization and that cool led notification around the home button I rooted, but I will probably never put a custom rom on it:good:

You can't because there's nothing available. I have both phones and I gotta say that I hate not being able to install custom roms. Also when it comes to updates, LG sucks. It took over a year for LG to release ICS for Thrill. Even then, the ROM still sucks and still outdated. It's slow as hell. The OGP has somewhat up to date ROM now, but I'm afraid that it'll be stuck at 4.1.2 forever while the S4 is enjoying the unannounced 4.3.

Just because it's leaked doesn't mean it'll get 4.3 anytime soon. As for this phone, better than the rest in my opinion. Gs4 is good but I couldn't stand the lag and even though had custom Rom on it I couldn't help but be annoyed by the samoled screen, especially after owning the nexus 4. Regardless of when we will get custom roms, this phone is still badass the way it is. Stock Rom updates, who needs em? Majority of us are going to install custom anyways and those we don't want to do custom just root.
This phone is the ****!

Touchwiz encompasses more than just the launcher. It's the theme of the settings, SMS, browser... the default icons. I just don't care for it. It feels web 1.0 on a web 2.0 world

Its Anyone Working on a Galaxy Note rom port?

I was looking into some g note videos and actualy liked how the software worked but didnt like how big it is.
So i thought if its possible to port it over and who can help?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You mean, port the Galaxy Note touchwiz over to the Epic Touch? To my knowledge, it hasn't been done. I can only see a couple of features that its build has that the ET4G doesn't, mainly the stylus notes feature. It's got a little different method to take a screenshot than we do (however, I like ours better). Can you clarify what you'd like to see from the note in the ET4G?
well what i much is the ability to use a stylus for drawing and writing.
thats if were able to use a stylus
.....its the same thing
you will never be able to use that kind of stylus on the et4g... it has a wacom sensor for it built in. aka like fm radio. we dont have the tech in the device to do it.
Well that sucks but thanks anyways

you want someone to port a touchwiz rom to a device that already runs touchwiz? wtf am i reading?
I mean don't get me wrong some of the features it has would be nice even though we could never use the stylus. BUT since we have ICS now, until the Galaxy Note gets the ICS update, I don't see any of it's features being ported.
It has nothing we don't have. Besides a different lockscreen, new messages app, a few icon changes ,n of course pen memo which would be useless for us who don't have a stylist.. probly tweaked system settings for tw 4.0;

Your first and second sentences contradict each other...
As it was stated just before me, a lot of Devs are jumping on the ICS bandwagon. Although I love some of the tricks you can do with that S Pen, without a stylus its hard to imagine what functionality that would add to a phone that already does everything. I understand where you're coming from OP, but you might have to just do like me and get the Galaxy Journal when it launches soon.

We won't have too many ROM options, besides AOSP and TouchWiz, until CM10 is officially released. It's out for the international version, but only time will tell how long it takes to reach our version of the device.
If you want to take a giant risk, go ahead and flash ParanoidAndroid for the international version, but it'll probably hard-brick your device.

Hard Brick? If this were Wikipedia I'd tag that with [Citation Needed]

Maybe so, but I've heard stories of people hard-bricking their devices by flashing kernels made for different devices.
If anyone really wants this type of ROM, go to TMO GN2 forums and look at DaGR8s ROM. Or join #saurom on freenode. I asked if he could bring it over but he would rather have me maintain it but I know zero when it comes to modifying stock roms, smali, etc lol.

No offense, but I don't understand what you're asking. I say this because Android 4 is the same on phones and tablets. I have ASUS Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and this phone, and both are running Android 4.1. The difference are more device specific about screen size and particular hardware.
The mods I've seen are more about squeezing more functionality out the device, such a WiFi tether and mutli-app. They don't bring a more tablet experience than what the device already is in my use thus far.

Your cruelty knows no bonds. Making me search, LOL. Took me a while to find something that showed it. Most just videos on found on Youtube left in the ROM(s) in phone phone mode. This one showed it best that I was able find first.
But yes, I get it now. The sad part, only a few apps I use really have tablet interfaces. I like a similar interface across devices if possible. Although, it would be nice if K9 had a tablet UI. But I digress....

I like the idea of picking some apps to use in Tablet form. NFL Game Pass has a good tablet app; but I believe it's designed for 10" tablets, not the small ones such as Nexus 7. I like Chrome's interface on the tablet over the phone as well.
I have the ASUS Transformer Inifinity. Needless, some apps are interesting with their user interface.
Unfortunately, most apps on Android are still designed for the phone interface. As Android tablet get more popular, we'll see design interface incorporate the larger screens.
At the moment, I'm just happy to have a larger screen so I can see without having to zoom everything.

Considering the Optomus G pro but...

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.
Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)
I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.

Lol.. I mean if you really want to call it that. I'd rather have the bigger display with the same exact specs as the n5. Knock on and WiFi calling (an option I cannot live without)

Alternate method to enter recovery?
Does anyone know of a way to enter recovery other than with using the power button? Is there a way to do it through ODIN?
I installed ICS Stock ROM, but I need to be able to enter recovery to do a factory reset.
My power button is broken. I can get into download mode (pressing volume up, volume down, and then inserting usb cable).
If the phone is off, I can also get the phone to power on (by inserting power cord, feeling vibrate, and then quickly removing power cord).
But I can't get into recovery. If anyone has any creative methods, that'd be awesome!
I'm saying goodbye, as well.
After installing ROM after ROM, I never found any that "just worked". Anything 4.4-based had all kinds of busted stuff (1080p video, Netflix, etc). 4.3 had camera/gallery issues. Even with 4.1 and 4.2 (including 4.1 stock), they still seem to suffer from "vbus_present" issues forcing me to reboot any time I unplug the device.
The device froze up on me and corrupted too many photos. I tried asking the community what the "best" ROM was, and mods closed the thread.
I wanted the T989 as a tool. Not something I had to babysit.
Maybe I'll get a Moto G or whatever Motorola's new phone is.

The way I see it....ROMs made of 4.2.2 and higher may have their odd glitches... But that just life bringing android versions to phones who's official support ended. Its either accept the odd problem, or stick with last official update. In this case touch wiz 4.1.2. Which is pretty much perfect.
Flashing custom ROMs comes with the odd glitch, no matter the phone. That's just how it is.
Stock is for those that can't accept the odd issue.
Good luck with your next phone!! The moto g is nice, for its price for sure!!!

A point I should have made.....the devs work hard and for free and for fun....and share with us lucky members.
They do their best with what they have to work with....especially on android versions not even created for our device.
They deserve our respect and thanks. If what's available disappoints anyone....they should keep it to themselves or choose their words wisely.
Without the devs.... We'd have nothing at all. Especially when Google stops giving us official updates.
Be grateful.
Still loving my Herc. Carbon rom with SaberMod Uber kernel and I have no complaints...

Current T989 kitkat bugs piss me off, lol. They seem to be putting finishing touches on it, then all of a sudden they make a bigger change that opens a whole new can of worms.
My power button got stuck several months ago, so I actually opened the phone up and removed the entire thing. To turn my phone on, I plug it in with a usb chord and hold volume up/down until I enter download mode, then I cancel it.
I use an app called Quick Boot to reboot, enter recovery and so on.
Also, I kind of agree with you guys. Sure, the latest 4.4 ROMs are a little buggy, but I've found 4.3 roms to be perfect, in terms of stability.
Got my T989 last november from a friend, second android device I had but the first to get serious with. Also tried to check for newer devices like that LG G2 but the chance for me to get a new one is far less than you can do.

I lucked out. I complained enough to tmobile about the screen blobs and lines from the amoled displays that they kept sending me as refurbs, wrote the CEO an email, then they called and agreed to send me a GS3 LTE, and let me keep my s2, so I immediately sold both phones and got the g2 new.

Well there's nothing else to discuss except make fun of the reps who are lying to us. No root, no roms, no anything

Who cares how many threads there are in this forum? It's not like there is much to do with this device that XDA can even be helpful with.

Sooo miss my Nexus. Will now only purchase Nexus. Sick of being held hostage by ATT and Sammy. Att mostly. Hate iPhones (iOS) but at least Apple doesn't let carriers take advantage of them or their customers.

I hear you android.gt, it's ridiculous that we have to wait months for Samsung/ATT to deliver a simple update. Not to mention all the bloatware that comes with these ATT phones.

It has nothing to do Samsung. Get that part straight as Samsung has released the MM version to all carriers. It's up to the carriers to release their bloated version.

I did it, made a smart switch backup, update via side load, restore backup. There was some re doing of a lot of stuff but I'm running MM.
Honestly, in my opinion MM is better in every regards. I miss weather on the lockscreen and the lock screen swipe effects, but those are a small price to pay for the battery life and performance improvements

I actually got so impatient that I did a smartswitch backup on the computer and sideloaded marshmallow then restored from the backup. It couldn't have gone smoother.
What is a side load? Sorry guys. New to this.

Installing an update via the recovery menu on the phone, and using ADB on a desktop computer with the phone connected to it.
