Sorry, but are those really neccesary features?
Maybe solution: click usb video out and yes

I have tried the Usb Video Option a few times nothing change, but the phone video
gets slower and a bit laggy,
theres no reaction from Phone also no Reaction from PC,
I think it has something to do with the first Charge problem.

for the PC not being sync'd with your phone... try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
This is a link to the DFRouter we used to use when WP7 was just unlocked and while using this, the phone would stop being sync'd with the PC. I dont know if it will help but I will be going home in 1 minute and try it myself after flash... jejeje

I added this one to the original post,,
I do personally not care as long as it charges

PC Sync
Alright... Tried the DFRouter all night from Zune mode to Router and back. Tried the USB Mode, HTC Sync, etc and nothing worked to sync. I have installed WMDC6.1 and Windows Phone Manager with no success, ZUNE still wont detect. (I am on Windows8).
Tried to turn on and off the device center app included and still cannot get to sync.
I like sync because I take ALOT of pictures and the AUTO upload to skydrive does not upload the FULL RES pictures. Also have alot of music that I like to keep going back and forth with... But I can live without this for a while. I will try BT Sync when I get home tonight as it did not occur to me while testing yesterday.
_______________________________
On another note, for those that dont want the Chinese apps on the phone, just install the english ones and it will overwrite them (DFT-Bluetooth and the WMDC app that are both in the Settings) once you have installed them they will show up on your regular list, you can then OPT to delete them or use them.

I've put it in description, prepare to say to everyone that you have windows phone 8 as one of the first ones xD

Well, with this ROM I am not able to charge my phone at all. Now I am stuck at an automatic shutdown loop. Am I able to charge my phone with the bootloader opened?
Edit: have to charge the battery via my old touch diamond 2, they're nearly identical in size. So I will be able to flash back to my previous ROM.

I think so, but also get your battery out, and put it back in. It's normally only the first time

I was going to report on this too... I was giving it the benefit of the doubt and waiting for the "FULL CHARGE" as it is reported with these ROMs that your first full charge wont report. But now I have given it a fully charged battery (From a Evo Shift, same like the diamond2 ) and put it to charge, it still does not charge the phone.
Could this also be the reason our Sync is affected?

no syncing and charging
I tried the ROM version for Gold, but since there's no battery charging, no ZUNE syncing and since I couldn't use cab sender to upload language cabs, I'm installing previous custom ROM and backup :fingers-crossed:.
Moreover, I couldn't see anything in the HTC Hub live tile, only the location name...
Honestly, I didn't try to use directly WP7EasyBackup to restore or WPV App Data Backup to get back my apps...

I have the feeling, that the entire USB port is disabled in some way. Maybe a faulty or wrong driver.

Syncing Prolbems Please Helpp!!!

ok so I have a cingular 8125 which i CID unlocked and SIM unlocked. I have the T-mobil 2.26 as a ROM base and was running black dimond 1.0 touch ROM with no syncing prolbems. This past weekend my phone froze and i wasnt able to reset it, so i re flashed my base rom. I then tried to Flash the new dimond 2.0 touch rom and it flashed fine, but when i went to sync it up all it did was say it was syncing. I let it run over night and it was in the same state (saying it was syncing) that i left it in. I tried flashing another custom rom but ended up with the same result. I tried deleting active sync 4.5 and re-installing, and even tried a beta version of 4.5 but nothing has worked. PLease any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
could be outlook...outlook sometimes acts finicky...
recommendation would be to save your pim information...it's usually in some sort of personal folder, and then reinstall outlook. Move your pim information back and resync.
I had this same problem, but i fixed it.
I had this same problem using Diamond 1.1, so i thought it was the rom, but....Then, I used Octavoi, and I had the same problem, so i figured it was Windows Vista's Device Center (replaces ActiveSync), but... Then I found out that it stilled synced fine on my XP laptop (ActivSync 4.5), so.... i woke up one night and suddenly decided to remove my USB hub that my phone was connected through, and then I directly connected my phone to my computer (which actually gives it a direct undivided power source, it seems). After this, it synced in 4 minutes, and i finally got all my contacts back. Could this possibly be your case as well? That's all i can offer.
nope im this isnt my prolbem. and i cant find that folder that you were talking about on out look either. i tried flashing a bunch of diff roms but all it does is say its syncing and then my comp sends nothing? any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Use PIMBackup, it saves and restores that information and more (which you can choose from)... i think it's free, it came with my ROM (Octavaoi 4.5), so u might search for it.
i would uninstall some stuff with your phone unplugged and reboot it then reconnect it and make sure that the usb cord or jack is working
Betcha I had it worse...
I'm a total newb to this stuff. I'm totally blown away by the level you folks are discussing thing at.
I just replaced my Audiovox 6600 with a Cingular 8125 w/WM6. I had to upgrade to Activesync 4.5 and it was going exactly what you describe.
I SPENT OVER 8 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE MICROSOFT "HELP" if you can call it that.
The rapimgr.exe file was getting caught in a loop and hogging all the CPU. The answer was in:
Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC -->: Uncheck the "Enable advanced network funcionality" box
BTW - after the marathon "help" session, I was the one that figured it out.

Ok...props to you. First post and it's to help someone else with a well described solution. I hope this solves the person's problem and I'll have to remember to suggest this to folks having activesync issues... so much for "advanced network functionality" huh?
thanks alot... tried to fix this for 2 days. big props to you..

[Q] HTC Mozart From Telstra stuck in a Demo mode??

Hi,
I've receieved a HTC Mozart as an evaluation device from Telstra for my company, but when I boot it up it does not seem to go through the normal setup process.
It boots and when it is pre-populated with some data such as contacts, text messages, emails, calander entries, etc. I have hard reset the device and it comes back to the same place after it goes through the loading process, at no stage am i prompted to enter my windows live ID or anything like that and there is already an example account present.
Is this some sort of demonstration mode the phone is set in???
Thanks,
Ryan
i would suggest contacting telstra? maybe they sent you a demo model by mistake? though to be honest if this was that case that would be one of the most funniest things they could do to a customer. it was just halloween? didn't you give them a treat?

We all know Sol took all the treats with him when he left LOL
Everytime i unlock the phone it get a text message that tells me welcome to windows phone 7 and the screen saver is a demo that says 'touch to begin' and I am unable to use my windows live login as there is an account called [email protected] that cannot be deleted and cannot be changed.
Try flashing the std ruu package from the mozart forum? Might have a demo rom on it.
Are you able to hard reset it?
If not then contact Telstra and they should replace it.
How do I install the generic RUU on the mozart? I have been a blackberry user previously.
Mate, dont bother, take it back to telstra.

It Would seem not all people actually read the questions in these forums very well - having acquired one of these STORE DEMO ROM Mozarts as well I know exactly what you are saying - Mate - Check my post Under the Telstra ROM in the ROM section of Mozart Development Forum. Should be around post 3.
This is how I reflashed/unlocked from store demo mode and now have a fully functioning HTC Mozart.
Should help you out.
I believe i purchased a store demo HTC Surround, as it does exactly what you describe your mozart doing. I hope soon there will be a way to flash the rom because my battery dies from all the bogus updates and the screensaver or splash screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, anyone here please plz plz plz help us out with this annoying thing ever. ....
GREAT GREATLY Appreciate ... it makes me piss off !!!
It's amazing how many of these demo phones make it out in the real world.

[Q] bluetooth discovery

i transfer a fair few files over bluetooth to the sensation but i noticed i have to make my device discoverable every time (by checking the make discoverable option) i was wondering is there a way for this to be constantly on? ie. when i turn my bluetooth toggle on, the phone will always be ready to be discovered?
cheers
Where are you sending them from? A pc? Set the ftp settings in the bluetooth settings on the phone. Also, there should've been an option to always allow when you sent the 1st file.

yes a pc... windows 7 x64... i have ZERO problems transferring files and these work perfectly.. as for the ftp i can turn it on or turn it off.. never had any contact with this so not sure what you mean?

as for this... thats what i thought (like an auto connect) it seems to need to discover the device each time before the file Q pops up on the device to be accepted, etc...
what would be great would be a way to send the file... not have the device need to connect or be accepted each time but my OP is my main annoyance lol
Go to the devices option on the pc, find the phone, right click, delete it. The go to the devices on the sensation and click the pc, unpair it. Also, go to the advanced setting in bt and select the ftp option. Now, on the pc - look for new devices and make sure the phone is discoverable. Let the pc find the phone. When they find each other, w7 should have you put a code in the phone, do it to and on 1st transfer, Inc Oh should be prompted on the phone the. Always allows.
Hope that helps.

Android 4.1.1 Jellybean on the Nextbook Premium 8se

ATTENTION / WARNING / ACHTUNG!!!!!!!
Efun (distributor of what we know as the "Nextbook Premium 8SE") in fact sells two different tablets marketed under the same name. This rooting method will ONLY work with a Nextbook Premium 8SE running a Rockchip processor.
**Am very sorry if this has already been posted, searched and did not find anything.**
Soon after purchasing my Nextbook Premium 8 se I learned that many Roms, apks, etc. that I couldn't find via Google (in English, anyhow) are easily found in Italian.
Which brings me to what I found today
androidworldDOTit/forum/mediacom-smartpad-810c-381/%5Brom%5D%5Bics-4-1-1%5D%5Bxteam-4-0-jellybean%5D%5Bmediacom-810c%5D-67171/
Run that through Google Translate if like me you don't speak a word of Italian.
All right, time to sit down and write a guide to doing this. First things first: I didn't do any of this work! People like Devmonkey, Sunnyboy167, deeno33, and FinlessBob, (over at Freaktab) and Xteam at Android World Italy are the ones who've put in the legwork and hours to make this stuff possible. I'm just gathering their work in to one place.
Before you begin: Back up all your things if you want to keep them!
Also, remove your micro sd card from the Nextbook. I darn near fried mine because I didn't.
Next: You know the drill. You're a big boy, (or girl, or whatever. I'm not here to judge) I, nor anyone else is responsible if anything bad happens to your device, to you, your happiness, or your hard earned money or your time. YOU are choosing to root your device and install Jellybean on to it and YOU assume all responsibility. Cool? Also, this will probably void your warranty. But let's face it, if you're here, you probably don't care too much about your warranty anyway. Let's get rocking.
STEP 1: Make sure you have the device drivers installed for your Nextbook on your computer. I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I imagine that other Windows desktops pre Win 8 will be similar. If you're using Linux, I believe that drivers aren't necessary. But hey, if you've installed Ubuntu, Arch Bang, Puppy, etc, you've probably got this figured out anyway.
Turn off your Nextbook Tablet Connect the micro usb cord to it, then hold in the volume up and down keys while plugging it in to your computer.
"NOTE: On your screen you should see a bubble pop up in the lower-right corner saying "Installing drivers". Most likely it will say it can't find the drivers. This is normal. Continue following the steps to install the missing drivers.
Step 2: Open the Device manager by typing mmc devmgmt.msc into your "Run" box on XP or search box in start menu on Windows 7 and hitting enter (you can also find Device Manager in your Control Panel options in Windows 7).
Step 3: With your N8 still in an off state and plugged in via USB you should see a yellow exclamation symbol somewhere next to "Unknown Device" in the list of devices in the Device Manager. Right click on it and select "Update driver software".
Step 4: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine." ~Sunnyboy167
Ok, now that the device drivers are installed you'll want to download the file linked from here: zippyshareDOTcom/v/60864398/fileDOThtml
Sorry, I have less than 10 posts, so you'll need to convert the dots to, you know, dots. I get why the site does that.
Scan that thing for any nasties, and then unzip it wherever you'd like. (I used my desktop) Open it and click on the folder "Mediacom 810c" Inside you'll find a file named "Rk29update.exe." Open it. You'll see a box like this:
See attached picture
That is what it will look like if your tablet is not hooked up to your computer. So if it isn't (which it should be, since I never told you to disconnect it) reconnect it now.
Click the box that says "loader," then click "Formatta!!" Which, as you might have guessed is Italian for "Format." No going back now, kid.
Let the thing run its course, it'll take a couple of minutes. Once it's done, click the box that says "Aggiorna!!" This will install Jellybean on to your Nextbook. Be patient, as this will take a few minutes. You'll hear your computer make the "device disconnected" sound, and you'll be all set. You can unplug your Nextbook from your computer now.
First boot up of the device on Jellybean was a touch slow for me, but don't panic. Once you've gotten through set up the Rom runs incredibly smooth and fast. The first screen you'll see will be the welcome (benvenuto) screen. You can select English (or your preferred language) from the drop down menu. From this point on it should be smooth sailing. Google Now works like a charm, Project Butter seems to really make a difference on this tablet, camera works, notifications work, everything seems good. There are minor bugs here and there, but nothing Earth shattering.
One last thing: for a $99 budget "craplet" from Big Lots, you could do a lot worse than this tablet. I've found it pretty sturdy, highly customizable, and generally responsive and fun to use. I also own a Nexus 7, and while this clearly can't touch it spec wise, it's definitely a fun second device to keep around.
ok, so far so good. The Rom is very responsive, Google Now is working well. Only thing to note, which I should have known: Take out your micro sd card first! I ended up corrupting mine when I flashed the Rom. (And guess where I had everything backed up too? = fail)
But again, other than that, this Rom is awesome
Request for Bug List
Thanks for posting about this Italian Rom for the Nextbook 8. I am thinking about installing it. Can you provide a list of bugs that you've noticed?
Thanks again!

of course!
As mentioned in the install guide, take out any MicroSD card, as you might damage it. That said, however, upon another reading of the original Italian install guide, apparently the "data system corrupted" bug that I took for being my MSD card being screwed up is in fact a known bug that is actually affecting internal memory, but only temporarily. The solution is to simply format it on device, and everything will work fine. The option to format is given as a push notification immediately upon getting through the sign in process, and nothing in actuality appears to be damaged, but until I did the format I could not access anything on my MSD card.
The big recurring one I've noticed may or may not be unique to this Rom, as my device had it before on a gingerbread Rom; namely, the battery charge level never seems to change. It always seems to be at 100% right up until it drops dead, no warning. Actually, that's not entirely accurate, because if it runs out, and I charge it and unplug while the charge shows a number less than 100% the battery icon will continue to show "charging" until 100% (even though unplugged) and then stay there.
When waking the tablet up it takes a couple of seconds to reconnect to wifi. Any notifications coming in will slow it down for up to a couple of minutes. I've noticed that if I try and use it during this time I occasionally "overload" the device, and end up with it rebooting. My best advice: wake it, give it a second to go from "no internet connection" to having found wifi, unlock the screen, and then wait about 1 minute before doing any heavy use until any notifications pop up; once you do that you're good to go.
If I think of or notice anything else hopefully I'll remember to edit this post.
2 Problems I found

The option to format is given as a push notification immediately upon getting through the sign in process, and nothing in actuality appears to be damaged, but until I did the format I could not access anything on my MSD card.
The big recurring one I've noticed may or may not be unique to this Rom, as my device had it before on a gingerbread Rom; namely, the battery charge level never seems to change. It always seems to be at 100% right up until it drops dead, no warning. Actually, that's not entirely accurate, because if it runs out, and I charge it and unplug while the charge shows a number less than 100% the battery icon will continue to show "charging" until 100% (even though unplugged) and then stay there.
When waking the tablet up it takes a couple of seconds to reconnect to wifi. Any notifications coming in will slow it down for up to a couple of minutes. I've noticed that if I try and use it during this time I occasionally "overload" the device, and end up with it rebooting. My best advice: wake it, give it a second to go from "no internet connection" to having found wifi, unlock the screen, and then wait about 1 minute before doing any heavy use until any notifications pop up; once you do that you're good to go.
If I think of or notice anything else hopefully I'll remember to edit this post.

After I leave it charging, it goes into the sleep of death I guess? I don't know if this is because I had some apps downloading in the background. Also, my auto rotate doesn't work. I don't know if there's a fix for it, but so far, I havent found any
but besides those 2 things, the rom works great!
I'm having a hell of a time getting drivers for Windows 7 installed. Can someone point me in the direction to the drivers and possibly driver install instructions? .
I have tried with and without USB debugging turned on. In device manager I see M3-chip with USB debugging on. The only thing I can figure is I have the wrong drivers.
I have a Nextbook Premium 8 SE.
TIA
need new drivers

Link is broken
Conect11 said:
ok, so far so good. The Rom is very responsive, Google Now is working well. Only thing to note, which I should have known: Take out your micro sd card first! I ended up corrupting mine when I flashed the Rom. (And guess where I had everything backed up too? = fail)
But again, other than that, this Rom is awesome

"STEP 1: Make sure you have the device drivers installed for your Nextbook on your computer.[/B] I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I imagine that other Windows desktops pre Win 8 will be similar. If you're using Linux, I believe that drivers aren't necessary. But hey, if you've installed Ubuntu, Arch Bang, Puppy, etc, you've probably got this figured out anyway."
I'm stuck on this step! How do I find and install the drivers for the Nextbook 8? I went to the Device Manager already, I found my "Unknown Device", and I picked "browse my computer for driver software", but every time I pick the file to update it from, it says "windows could not find driver software for your device". Please help me!
thank you for the rom I'll give it a try

Same thing happened to me, you'll just have to wait a day or two for the battery to completely die, then hold the power, and as soon as the screen comes on, plug it in, hope this helps! :good:
so far so good, g-sensor wouldnt work with both included kernels so i flashed the kernel from Finless Bob's ICS Rom for NEXT8P12 and it's working again except i cant use the OC settings that kernel from this ROM has.
Only issues:
Wifi is a bit inconsistent
Apps can't download to system memory, there has to be an sd card present
G-Sensor isnt working (have to use kernel from Finless Bob's Next8P12 ROM)
Nothing else yet
is there anyway i could use the g-sensor driver from the other kernel while still using the kernel from this rom, if that makes sense.
Thanx.
going great untill
cant find subfoldr NXTBOOK8ROOT in my computer aso the zippyshare file in the link doesnt work pleaase help

Same for me as well... and it's really annoying me... I can't root it... so until someone finds a fix... I guess we're going to have to wait, also every time I go the whole driver thing, it says it can't find the drivers too. I don't really care to root it... but... I just wanted to try it.
Conect11 said:
ATTENTION / WARNING / ACHTUNG!!!!!!!
Efun (distributor of what we know as the "Nextbook Premium 8SE") in fact sells two different tablets marketed under the same name. This rooting method will ONLY work with a Nextbook Premium 8SE running a Rockchip processor.
**Am very sorry if this has already been posted, searched and did not find anything.**
Soon after purchasing my Nextbook Premium 8 se I learned that many Roms, apks, etc. that I couldn't find via Google (in English, anyhow) are easily found in Italian.
Which brings me to what I found today
androidworldDOTit/forum/mediacom-smartpad-810c-381/%5Brom%5D%5Bics-4-1-1%5D%5Bxteam-4-0-jellybean%5D%5Bmediacom-810c%5D-67171/
Run that through Google Translate if like me you don't speak a word of Italian.
All right, time to sit down and write a guide to doing this. First things first: I didn't do any of this work! People like Devmonkey, Sunnyboy167, deeno33, and FinlessBob, (over at Freaktab) and Xteam at Android World Italy are the ones who've put in the legwork and hours to make this stuff possible. I'm just gathering their work in to one place.
Before you begin: Back up all your things if you want to keep them!
Also, remove your micro sd card from the Nextbook. I darn near fried mine because I didn't.
Next: You know the drill. You're a big boy, (or girl, or whatever. I'm not here to judge) I, nor anyone else is responsible if anything bad happens to your device, to you, your happiness, or your hard earned money or your time. YOU are choosing to root your device and install Jellybean on to it and YOU assume all responsibility. Cool? Also, this will probably void your warranty. But let's face it, if you're here, you probably don't care too much about your warranty anyway. Let's get rocking.
STEP 1: Make sure you have the device drivers installed for your Nextbook on your computer. I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit desktop. I imagine that other Windows desktops pre Win 8 will be similar. If you're using Linux, I believe that drivers aren't necessary. But hey, if you've installed Ubuntu, Arch Bang, Puppy, etc, you've probably got this figured out anyway.
Turn off your Nextbook Tablet Connect the micro usb cord to it, then hold in the volume up and down keys while plugging it in to your computer.
"NOTE: On your screen you should see a bubble pop up in the lower-right corner saying "Installing drivers". Most likely it will say it can't find the drivers. This is normal. Continue following the steps to install the missing drivers.
Step 2: Open the Device manager by typing mmc devmgmt.msc into your "Run" box on XP or search box in start menu on Windows 7 and hitting enter (you can also find Device Manager in your Control Panel options in Windows 7).
Step 3: With your N8 still in an off state and plugged in via USB you should see a yellow exclamation symbol somewhere next to "Unknown Device" in the list of devices in the Device Manager. Right click on it and select "Update driver software".
Step 4: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine." ~Sunnyboy167
Ok, now that the device drivers are installed you'll want to download the file linked from here: zippyshareDOTcom/v/60864398/fileDOThtml
Sorry, I have less than 10 posts, so you'll need to convert the dots to, you know, dots. I get why the site does that.
Scan that thing for any nasties, and then unzip it wherever you'd like. (I used my desktop) Open it and click on the folder "Mediacom 810c" Inside you'll find a file named "Rk29update.exe." Open it. You'll see a box like this:
See attached picture
That is what it will look like if your tablet is not hooked up to your computer. So if it isn't (which it should be, since I never told you to disconnect it) reconnect it now.
Click the box that says "loader," then click "Formatta!!" Which, as you might have guessed is Italian for "Format." No going back now, kid.
Let the thing run its course, it'll take a couple of minutes. Once it's done, click the box that says "Aggiorna!!" This will install Jellybean on to your Nextbook. Be patient, as this will take a few minutes. You'll hear your computer make the "device disconnected" sound, and you'll be all set. You can unplug your Nextbook from your computer now.
First boot up of the device on Jellybean was a touch slow for me, but don't panic. Once you've gotten through set up the Rom runs incredibly smooth and fast. The first screen you'll see will be the welcome (benvenuto) screen. You can select English (or your preferred language) from the drop down menu. From this point on it should be smooth sailing. Google Now works like a charm, Project Butter seems to really make a difference on this tablet, camera works, notifications work, everything seems good. There are minor bugs here and there, but nothing Earth shattering.
One last thing: for a $99 budget "craplet" from Big Lots, you could do a lot worse than this tablet. I've found it pretty sturdy, highly customizable, and generally responsive and fun to use. I also own a Nexus 7, and while this clearly can't touch it spec wise, it's definitely a fun second device to keep around.

[Q] Cannot connect to PC after de-bloat?

I recently went through the process of de-bloating this phone; following the helpful guides here on the AT&T G3 General forum.
However, I am finding that I cannot connect via USB to my notebook. I am going to try this on my PC @ home this pm and see if this just is not a driver issue on this end.
I restored the LG PC Suite & Suite Service to system (as well as the settings) and tried the PC suite connection app on my notebook. No dice there either...I do not even see the phone asking me how I want to connect to the laptop before I began all this de-bloat.
Is there an APK, etc. I am missing on the phone that I need to bring back to make the PC suite work again, much less connect with my notebook?
I do have developer settings / usb debugging enabled as well as (re-) installed the LG driver package. Thank you for reading / assisting in advance.

perhaps a list of the things you did would help us decipher what might be wrong. Everyone's idea of 'debloating' is different so I'm sure you've done something different then I have.

Thanks for the reply. I removed pretty much everything on the lists provided in the AT&T G3 forums and now Windows 8 refers to my device under "Printers & Devices" as a "USB Charge Only Interface". I am on my home PC now where I can verify a few days ago I could connect to the device.
To be more specific, I cannot switch the G3 into MTP mode. Does anyone know if there is a specific apk (libs, etc) to re-enable this feature?

This is the reason I usually just freeze apps in titanium backup instead of uninstalling bloat altogether. I've had this kind of issue with other devices in the past so I always err on the side of caution. Like the other member said if you can list what all you removed so we can narrow down which app is causing your issue.

This is going to be kind of obvious but have you gone into devices on your pc and removed the LG drivers? If you remove them and then plug it in it should auto detect and reinstall the drivers. If it doesn't then at least we know its not a driver issue and it is in fact something on your device. I know it'd be a huge coincidence to both the notebook and desktop to have the same problem but the drivers could have somehow been corrupted.

USB Charge Only Interface
this rings a bell, the first time I connected my phone to the computer it did this, I had to change the setting to MTP mode. There should be a notification on the phone that says something about changing the usb mode.
Also I don't think you get this option if the drivers aren't installed properly so that's another thing you could try

For sure. Its affecting more than that too.
I tried messing with real 4k (not 2k) wallpapers in GN launcher and it really messed with the background. Half screen black and flashing the image every 10 secs...even 1080 wallpapers starting failing.
Switched back to stock launcher and sort of fixed. Reboot finally allowed me to use GN with any 2k or less wallpaper again lol.
