Bye Bye G PRO 2

Hello my friends. The time has come for me to let the optimus G PRO 2 and try a new phone. I said that i won't buy LG anymore... because they gave a s**t kitkat update to my G .. and than after i bought the G Pro 2 they forgot about our device , and now it's "dead" in terms of development.
So i bought a Galaxy S5.
What i want to say.. for people who know.. we have a group on facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/lggpro2/
I will continue to support this group(moderate+add new users).
However it's time to pass the legacy to another optimus G PRO 2 user... so feel free to apply for admin function in the group.
The post model:
about how long you plan to keep the optimus G PRO 2:
member of the group: yes/no
I will choose the winner based on the reputation at my discretion.

Sad to see you go. You did a fantastic job with the Facebook page.

Welcome back to the new Pro 3 next year, anytime, buddy!
I may quit Pro 2 for a while to try Note 4 and come back to LG again for its Pro 3 next year, and hopefully with a Stylus!

I wait BB Passport to say Bye Bye G PRO 2, very sad...

Yep..it's sad. About Lg .. maybe if g pro 3 / g4 will be very popular.. i will re-join lg
I mean all i want from lg is a phone with latest android , nice ui and custom cm rom. For now.. i'm happy with my gs5.
- bad aspects to gs 5:
- No knock code
- i really hate the "sent sms notification" feature.. on lg is way better,
- no alarm unlock by puzzle
- i get 1.5 gb ram eaten from 1.75 (rest is for android) but i can't complain..(i mean the phone is really fast)
- good aspects to gs5:
- the screen is awesome (you can set it in4 ways.. and can get rid of some amoled ****, you get the chance to see the colors more natural)
- camera is great , even selfie camera is great
- i can use 128 gb sdcard
- battery is good
- check at the picture from atachments, exynos octa is really fast.
So.. let's hope we will meet again at g4/g pro 3. (if not .. than iphone 6+)

can you explain the "dead" part on your 1st post?

Yes i can. Look at software. I don't see a custom kernel for g pro 2. No cool apps ported. No impressive roms. Ugly user interface(compared to lg g3) . At least if g pro 2 would have g3 Ui. No updates. (i gave my g pro 2 to my little brother - he's a game addict ..so the g pro 2 is good for him) ..but i still had problems like random reboots when i connected the device to usb cable. If android 4.5 comes.. and than shortly 4.6 and than 4.7 .. lg might skip again like it did with 4.1 -4.4 while samsung and the competition updated their devices to 4.2 , 4.3 and than 4.4 . Now..this is something. Is you ask me..it's better to get 4.2 and 4.3 instead of waiting from 4.1 to 4.4 and when you get 4.4 you don't have half of 4.4 features. (this is what happened with my lg optimus g, before i bought g pro 2). After two weeks i sold the g with 200 $ . After i first booted up my s5.. i got like ~900 mb of updates for performance/ apps/etc. I liked that.
Now...about the facebook group...offer still stands. Let's see some requests.

Is this not a G3 based ROM?

No.

I don't get it, who cares you change a phone. maybe I don't know your important role in lg g pro 2 community's life but I think you won't miss too much. You are trolling the community only w/ this thread...

Nope. Not really. At least this wasn't my intention. And if i'm trolling..this ain't a true community. True community was when i had an optimus black / optimus g. There we used to say good bye from the rest when we moved on.

Lenovo vibe x2 a good looking phone with awesome specs.One doesn't find such awesome android dual sim phones in 20K price range here in india!(however i heard dual sim phones are in great demand in China)I especially like its layered design and its a killer at performance with its 2 GB ram and octacore processor. but i heard in almost all reviews of the device that its camera quality is not great,, however from reviews they also confirmed that poor camera issue can be fixed via a software update from Lenovo. also now that Lenovo has acquired Motorola from Google i guess its going to improve upon its existing models.
But here at xda there is no forum for the device.
This is one of the reasons why I am refraining from buying this phone. no professional guides for rooting and no custom roms etc.

i appreciate your advice bro. but i really need to buy ... suggest me another good phone .. please i don't
wanna regret after buying this phone in any mannner...
thanks in advance

Phone is Superb but support needed from developers at XDA.

i have been using this phone for last 6 days...! everything is perfect but i am not happy about the battery performance !
design & build quality is fine.
and the phone is super fast.

can't we use it for custom rom in future... after expiring the warranty ...?

it is not wise to buy lenovo's phone, it will be difficult to wait official update, but the UI is not beautiful.

then tell me what would be the best phone in 20k if vibe x2 is not gud...?

Go for honor 6 double sim

F1 Plus Barcelona Edition

Hi guys,
I have two questions about the F1 Plus Barcelona Edition.
Oppo-announces-fc-barcelona-edition-f1-plus
1) First of all, is this a 'common' F1 Plus for the software? Or is there a difference in HW except the exterior?
Would any ROM that's made for the R9/F1 Plus work on this edition?
2) Are there any custom roms out there that would work for this phone? It's a beautiful phone that we would love to use for a while longer, but the LP ROM with Color OS is truly horrible!

Realme 5 pro or Redmi Note 7 pro

I am using Redmi note 3 sine last 3 years and before that i used Redmi note 1. So basically i am Redmi fan. I am planning to change my phone. Realme 5 pro is going to be on sale in india soon. I am confused between redmi note 7 and realme 5 pro. I have no idea about Colours OS as i am used to MIUI. Also i have to move all my data to new phone which will be easy in redmi to redmi. Realme 5 pro is good and better specifications than redmi note 7 pro. I would have bought redmi note 7 pro but it was launched in march and xiaomi is not very good in providing updates to old phones. I am planning to use my new phone to another 3 years. So i am confused between these 2 mobiles. Pls help.

Note 7 pro. Better developer support, lots of custom kernals and ROMs(official) always up-to-date. Colour os sucks and they're probably making realme os probably will be just like ****ty colorOS. Don't understand why then can't use stock or stocklike OS. Ram management is trash too. Hardwares don't make everything better if software is trash. And ofcouse they're ruining their own phones with bad updates. Already made a big mistake buying this realme 3 pro. Wanted to return it but return period was of 8days instead of 10(appealed on 9th day) so they did not accept it but redmi note 7 pro was out of stock that time.. bad lunch for me meh.

MIUI OS was the main reason I fell in love with teri and I have made numerous people to opt for redmi over samsung. But I have heard that after update coliurs OS 6 has got improvement over colours OS 5. I am gonna wait for redmi note 8 launch to see if it suits my pocket. Thanks for your valuable feedback.

First I'm a huge redmi fan myself and i still use note 3. I'm can understand your confusion. I'm myself do a lot of research. Anyhow here is my take. Realme 5 pro is in every way of specifications superior to redmi note 7pro, Cant comment on color os though. So you should expect a price drop soon in redmi devices since both are priced exactly same. Another important factor to consider is that i read somewhere that they are sending free devices to some developers so there is a good chance development could see big boost. Redmi note 8 is based on meditek chip and not on the usual snapdragon unlike note 7. I know redmi note 3 didn't see much development around mediatek. And lastly redmi note 7 pro has a notification light which is missing on realme devices. Hope this helps.

Redmi Note 8 have a snapdragon 665, it's the Redmi Note 8 Pro who have a mediatek Helio G90T

As a pure android lover I'd go for Realme 5 Pro. I've never tried Color OS but not even planning to do so. I've spent a year with MiUi on my Redmi Note 4 (mido) and in the past 1.5 years I've tested every Pie based rom on it and I can surely tell it's way better than Miui. I'm sure it'll be the same for me with Color OS. Since the hardware of Realme 5 Pro is way superior compared to Redmi Note 7 Pro (charging, UFS storage, chipset), all it needs a good custom rom/kernel combo and I'll be swift and smooth. But that's my opinion as an android purist. I've followed android since 2.0 and been a fan of stock experience since then.

Realme better than xiaomi ?

Hello guys. I want question. Realme ui and phones better are xiaomi ? I hate miui , but love stock like android. So i uses many phones of xiaomi with custom rom , and after buying a mi3. But Xiaomi Android one is joke.
So i seems the realme phones , the gui is think good.
I ask the users what think about . Thanks

You got it backwards xiaomi is better than realme
Miui is better than realme ui
I have a rm5 pro yet i cant even use it to play rhythm games, the system or the phone itself is not optimized for super fast paced games.
Whats good with a overkill specs if you cant use it lol

I think they could be as good or even better if they fixed few things. Just a little compare : i had both Realme 5 Pro & Redmi Note 8T and the latter has such a POOR CAMERA PERFORMANCE in compare, it's crazy I also prefer RealmeUI compared to MIUI.

for me ist much better Xioami ( MIUI ) rather than Realme ( RealmeUI ) but if compare to colorOS,is choose ColorOS

Xiaomi is only better because they let users develop more freely than Realme by releasing and updating source codes often and faster. They've a handy, official unlocking and flashing tool while Realme lacks these too. MiUi isn't great but way better than Rui or Cos. My Redmi Note 4X mido is getting loads of custom ROM and kernel updates with over 20+ to choose from. It's currently on Android 10 without any noticeable bugs while official MiUi updates were stopped at Android 7.1. This is why my mido is faster than my Realme Q even though my RMQ is 4 times stronger than my mido. Custom development is everything in my eye. A well refined system a.k.a software can do wonders in a few cases.
