Develop Bugs

[Q] Any confirmed Devs sticking around?

I know that how much we can do with any given phone is really up in the air at this point...
However, I am wondering how many people are still interested in this device and will still give it a shot even it requires some fiddling with the boot loaders and what not.
I completely understand if no one wants to dev here but, as someone who really doesn't have the option of nexus-y goodness, I figure it isn't beyond reason that some people will at least try to tinker with this one.

I'm definitely interested and will probably be here in january. Hopefully the bootloader will be unlocked by then. If not, I will try to figure out how to do that.

Awesome.
I won't be able to upgrade till December but, it's not like I have a lot of places to go really in terms of options.

Very encouraging, gentlemen. Would this potential development be compatible with the F180 model? I am currently living in South Korea, waiting for my current phone contract to expire next month and (finally) purchase my first Android device.

Yeah, I will do stuff for all variants if I get one. I can probably make a flashable zip that can detect which device you are on and throw the right files in corresponding to your device.

Well sir, I am about 96% convinced that I will be getting this phone (the F180) and would be more than happy to provide any sort of assistance/ file dumps as requested/ required.

Pretty sure a few roms have that for the s1 variants.

I was going to get a Nexus 4, but alas since it's gsm only looks like I'll be getting the Optimus G. It'll be a nice upgrade from my heroc. With luck I'll get it on the 11th. First mission will be the bootloader.
I currently maintain cm10 for the heroc, so I have a bit of experience around the block.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, this will basically be the nexus for us Sprint users. Nearly identical specs will make development a breeze.

Any experience with locked/encrypted bootloaders?

It will pretty much be the Nexus for me assuming unlocked bootloaders.

I placed my pre-order today through wirefly.. only $149.. Definitely looking forward to it.
Jake, you better get one!

I probably will as long as the boot loader is unlocked by Jan, which is when my contract ends, or if the nexus boot loader works.

Does the h815 come with earphones or not?

Mind did, but I think it depends on the region you get it from.

My H815 from south east Asia came with those black and red quadbeats or whatever. They're actually not half bad.

O2 UK - came with LG Quadbeat 3 I believe - actually they're probably the best headphones I've ever had supplied with a phone.

You mind telling me what does your g4 say when you go to settings, about, software. What software version you got installed? Vx10b-eur?

Yes, of course. I have V10a-234-10.

Is this something? Marshmallow source code?

I can't post links due to how rarely I post. However, I searched the G4 on LG's open source website and found this:
ht tp:// opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGvs986
remove the spaces of course.

The source code for 6.0!! When was this posted?

You might want to include what it is in the title of the thread so more people see it.

I Dl'd no problem.
This means we're getting close.

Anything you can do with the source code? Or no because we have no access to the bootloader?

This can’t be compiled and flashed onto an actual device without an unlocked bootloader, if that’s what you’re asking...

Exactly what I was asking lol. Wonder how much longer the big V will drag their heels with this one... Its right there in front of us and we can't do anything with it. *sigh*

I may be jumping ship to the S7. I like the G4 but Verizon has neutered this phone to the point where I don't want,to deal.

This is sadly why I jumped to the 6P in November. I never realized how nice it was to be able to mod and customize your phone any way you want, and have actual 100% stable stock Android ROMs.

I had the Note 5 after my G4, then got rid of that for the 6P. I'm 100% happy with my choice, I do miss the outstanding G4 camera though.

I had the note 3 and was going to get the newest one but the SD card and removable battery were deal breakers for me. And with Verizon handicapping the g4 I hate it. Only problem is I'm stuck on the stupid edge plan and can't afford to pay off the g4 and buy a 6p outright.

If not for Verizon's coverage I would've left for AT&T long ago. Catch 22

Is this phone definitely getting the marshmallow update or not?

Yes, many countries already have the update.

It will sometime this year, but Verizon in particular is notoriously slow in pushing major Android updates to their customers. There is a good chance big red will be the last major carrier to push it out.

I just signed up for Project Fi and ordered the 6P with 128GB storage. I'm ditching Verizon AND what they did to the great G4. It's a shame, too. It's such an excellent phone, but it's just so... neutered.

Any possibility for a unlocked bootloder in the future?

Locked Verizon Bootloader?

So i plan on ordering a Pixel XL paying the retail price from Bestbuy since they have them in stock http://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-pixel-xl-4g-lte-with-32gb-memory-cell-phone-slate-verizon/5656050.p?skuId=5656050 but i noticed it says Verizon. So my question is will the bootloader be unlocked or not?

Pretty sure it'll be locked then, it's best to just get it from the google store.

Please remember to try and search for answers before posting.
This subject is covered several times on the board.
Yes, the bootloader will be locked if purchased from Best Buy or Verizon.

its been confirmed from multiple places that Verizons model will have a locked bootloader. so if you care about custom roms or resale value get the model from the google store. There is always a possibility that someone will figure out an unlock for the Verizon model but i wouldnt count on it

It seems it's all speculation. Haven't seen/heard anything fact that it is indeed locked. But knowing how Verizon operates it will be.

Yeah it all point to it being locked but wont really know until its released and Verizon orders ship

The Verizon N6 wasn't locked down. I have hopes but if its locked it doesn't matter to me.

I just ordered from there mostly due to getting it faster, plus the project fi is as low as $30 monthly, could cancel anytime!

If it's unable to be unlocked it would be the first time Verizon released a Nexus that way.

As stated multiple times the Verizon nexus 6 was still able to be unlocked, it was identical to the Google store one, just with a Verizon emblem on it.

If it's like the nexus 6 with unlockable bootloader I'll be getting the 128 xl from Verizon and be returning the 32 xl to the Google store. I kinda regret not getting the larger storage. Hopefully we will see the unlockable status for a fact on Thursday.

Except one thing... The Pixel is not a Nexus. It's a Pixel.
It was all just an illusion

The reviews are out. Did not one single reviewer with a Verizon unit not check to see if it can be unlocked?

I have read in some other places that android 10 somewhat downgraded the camera, specially the front one, Maybe this update fixes that?, let's see how it goes

It's going to take a month to cross the pond to the states period.

is the update out to manually install on my non-rooted Exynos Dual Sim International unlocked version? N975FD. Will i get regular OTAs later once i manually update? Battery life is horrible after the March update
