Ho boy I'm gonna need some time to work through getting all that setup. So I need to boot into that Linux, install Salt, unlock with UsU, Install Custom Recovery and finally root the darn thing Wish me luck

Any updates on this particular phone? Based on my research thus far it doesnt look like root or recovery install is possible

We could desperately use SOME kind of modern contender in the Gaming Phone space ITs really bothers me that we now officially have ZERO options outside of slapping some obscene attachment to a phoen

We might have to all migrate to the LG G5 forum Starting to see rumors and teases of a gamepad module... Though I since my friend bough the phone I am not sure how they could add full controls and still have the phone retain a reasonable form factor I mean... if you were already on board for...

Desperately hoping for some sort of gamepad design to surface but its surprisingly hard to find any module info outside of the ones announced by LG itself Are people just waiting to see if the phone even takes off first?

Still nothing out of GDC regarding the W3D from what I can tell I think today is significant though so maybe we will see something soon?

Thanks for the suggestion but built in controls really is the whole point Otherwise my pool of potential phone choices it basically "EVERYTHING" As of now Snail, LG and Google are the only potential players ranked in likelihood of actually releasing some form of integrated gaming phone. Its...

Yeah I was considering doing the Z3 Compact myself I just really want the controls integrated. Hopefully Snail has something positive to show at GDC this year. If not I dunno. I guess the longshot is seeing Sony do it again, LG make a module, or Googles Project ARA sees a modified gamephone...

Yeah G5 getting a controller module seem liks a longshot but if modular phones take off I wont have to wait too long I imagine Now its just a matter of getting the perfect balance of performance, battery and form factor. Not to mention build quality, good controls and comfort... Getting an...

Give me a Gamepad/Battery module in a nice form factor and they can take all my money

So whats the deal with Modules. Are they going to be LG created only or can other companies license and build mods? I would love to see a gamepad attachment for mobile gaming! Is this even something thats possible?

Well **** Snail is LITERALLY our only option going forward. GDC in March might be our only chance to see the next Gaming smartphone. I hope its a good one.

Oh nice! Would love to hear a review! I dont suppose they even made an LTE GSM version? SO this is an old SNAIL device... same company making the W3D..... Is this the ONLY company making a gaming smartphone these days?

http://mobile.snail.com/en/news/2016/0129/11056.html Holy **** guys. This is the most recent update just saying they are going to have a booth at GDC.... WTF

I still have mine but its only powerful enough to be used as a legacy machine to run EMUs up to PS1 Wouldnt mind having a successor....

We are already in the New year and no news Looks like its officially dead. Did they even release the phone in China or whereever the company is based?

So sad that the gaming phone dream is once again dead Snail was the only company trying to make the damn thing at this point right?

The demand must be so low that they are folding the product..... that sucks What about their local market? Any chance to import? They should have backed the smaller version and dropped the stupid 3D. Made the phone more expensive and undesirable than it should have been. I cant believe these...

I cant believe they picked the 6-7inch 3D version as the flagship Are they insane

Is the smaller version releasing in China? I would happily import the Snail W

The Snail W3d is pretty much it..... And its huge and feature bloated. So depressing that no other viable contenders exist

I hope the Snail W still exists somehow Its smaller and doesnt have the unnecessary 3D screen (WTF were they thinking)

I cant find the 5 inch version anywhere I know the US version is 5.5 W3D but did they completely ditche the smaller one?

Man WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE My only beef with the W3D is the size. At 5.5 inches its just TOO big. A high quality 4 inch screen would be preferable if it could cut down that ridiculous length

Having a hell of a time trying to update my bootloader ATT Samsung I747 and am currently stuck on I747UCALH9 and every package I have tried to install fails the assert giving me error 7 Is my bootloader so old that none of these assert checks are checking for it to update? Found this post on...

Ive been on i747UCALH9 since I first got and rooted my phone Been trying to update my modem and Bootloader to MJB but every attempt resulted in failed assert checks no idea why atm.... should I even try leapfrogging into this one?

Whats the status of the DS4 support? Are we hitting a wall until the official android release? (Assuming Sony will even do it)

The issues probably arent on the PS4's end then. I would run a connection test on PS4 just to be safe. Also run speedtest on the Note You need a solid 5Mbps or higher on every connection to get reliable streaming

Yeah dont have much of a choice. Clockwork mod wont install them anyways for some reason.

Confirmed working on my Galaxy S3 (On Paranoid rom) with the Instructions in the OP Thanks a million!

In anyone working on hiding the onscreen controls? Could be a stop gap solution until DS4 pairing is figured out Also does the Remote Play app only register the Controller wirelessly or will it see it if its wired as well? Seems like quite the oversight on Sony's part

Howd you get it to function as just and android controller? I couldnt even get it that far even though It says its paired. It doesn't seem to output and button presses

I am no where near my PS4 and attempted to pair my controller No luck so far. It just spins and spins........ Anyone have success pairing yet? It shows the controller as a Wireless Controller in the Android Bluetooth menu. I wonder if this will work on an emulator with this function (EDIT...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09JcS6SactA This guy did it with the Shield Tablet and a touchscreen mapper. Totally doable and there are tons of apps that do this. The main issue is that the onscreen controls stay on the screen and flash for the inputs. Very annoying and distracting.

They pop back up on input I have seen a couple videos where guys have successfully configured emulated controls (touchscreen mappers) but they could not disable the onscreen prompts It seems easier to just figure out the DS4 pair mechanism since its seems to be the only thing to actually...

Yeah so i was wondering about this! So on the Xperia Z3. When you pair a DS4 the app itself drops the Overlay right? Is it currently impossible to spoof a DS4 and replace it with any wireless controller? Is it even possible to just hide the overlay? You guys have your work cut out for ya for...

Does the Zip need to be extracted and the extra APK's installed manually or is the whole thing one complete loop?

Thank god for the zips These manual gymnastics leave a lot of room for error. Hopefully a simple solution gets all the features locked down in a stable fashion You guys are the best

You guys are doing amazing work! Going to start fresh on this as soon as I get the chance but I want to throw out a huge thank you to the devs that are making this possible

Really? I thought DS4 has been working on Android for awhile now I currently am locked out of downloading the Remote play app. IS the OP up to date?

Found the updated Modems and Bootloaders Can I just flash the Zips in recovery and be good or is this more involved? Im going to make a backup to be sure Basically do I need to - Flash Bootloader - Flash Modem - Flash latest Rom Do you guys recommend a full wipe as well? Lastly have any of...

Im currently on Clockwork Mod If you know where I can find those radios/bootloaders that would be great Why do all the guides say to flash with ODIN if you can just use the recovery?

Yeah I will eventually Looks like i need to flash the new files with ODIN. I reverted to Beta 1 for the meantime

Son of a ***** Welp guess Ill stick to Beta 1. Everything worked fine on there and was one of the best roms ive had.

Baseband is I747UCLH9 Bootloader is I747UCALH9

Did the update from Beta 1 to 5 Seems to have broken my data Am i supposed to do all updates imcrementally? Should i consider a full system wipe and update again?

Love the Rom guys! Quick question. The OTA app included fails to automatically apply updates Since I have to do it manually can someone remind me of the correct process?

I might try flashing lean kernel. Thanks for the suggestion! EDIT: Small update. Still having WIfi issues though its with a guest network that requires a browser login. Havent had an issues with that on other roms though. Not sure what the exact problem is but it just loops between grabbing an...

Love the Rom so far Everything I was looking for FINALLY Only problem so far is the Wifi isn't working It just loops when trying to connect after grabbing an IP address I am on SGH I747 ATT
