You posting it here for everyone to download versus someone signing up for Google+ and going through the entire hassle of joining beta program just to download an app has literally exactly the same results. You'd be doing a lot of people a favor; not everyone wants Google+

Can someone please post a direct apk download to Flashfire beta. I do not want to sign up for Google+ just to download it

Can someone comment on exactly what the "issue" is?

Instructions for Linux?

Pretty standard HTTP 503 error code. It's exactly as it says - service unavailable. It likely nothing to do with your inputs.

Then you should probably take out the claim that this method is easier from the OP

How is this any easier than the original method....if anything this requires even more work

You basically answered your own question. It's not needed anymore *because* we can now manually control ISO and shutter speed. "Don't include features, people will complain. Include those features, people will complain."

As said, there isn't one available yet; no one will have it.

Yes, this is true. They throttle you if you use a lot of data. I ran a speedtest with my coworker, also on Sprint Spark, his speeds were 5x faster than mine.

No. There isn't one available yet.

What exactly did you do to cause the security error boot loop?

*Of course* OTA updates won't work with root...what else could you have been thinking??

Can we do this manually without a custom recovery

I don't understand why you can't just google the information you're looking for Not only will it be faster but you'll probably get more accurate/less biased information too

What "issues" is this attempting to fix

Shell after connecting to the appropriate COM port when your phone is in download mode

It's a standard Linux hosts file. All you need to do is define localhost. sudo rm /etc/hosts sudo touch /etc/hosts sudo echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts

Yes....a lot of us have.

As far as I can tell this just bypasses the check to see if tethering is enabled on your plan. Can't they still tell that the data traffic is tether traffic? After all it does show up under mobile data as "Tethering and hotspot"

Did you freeze the Facebook system app or completely uninstall it? I'm afraid of getting security errors on boot if a system app is missing

OP says Sprint but there's no Sprint download?

Download the app, go to the adblocker, click block, reboot.

You can't make the brightness higher than what the hardware allows....

Use the adblocker in ROM Toolbox. It adds localhost redirects to your hosts file so it's much more low-level.

This is not going to improve battery life in the slightest. You might be running a lower resolution but all the pixels are stilled turned on. The lower tax on the GPU is negligible.

You're not supposed to conpletely uninstall system apps when on stock rom. This will result in security errors (os checks its system files to see if it's been tampered with) and then refuse to boot. This is not specific to the G4 but almost all LG devices

I completely agree. I know thecubed et al. said a long time ago that they were delaying to make the root more "user friendly" but this is already easy enough and i don't see any reason that they didn't just release it like this ages ago. If someone can't do basic terminal operations then...

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, I'm just commenting that this is very humorous. Competition does good things.

Hah, a day after someone else announced they had rooted the device, these guys rush a release so they can claim the bounty first. Classic Either way, I'm glad this is finally available. Do you still need a system.img dump for Sprint? I can get that to you now.

"pretty advanced"

8 hours seems pretty good. I average 5-6 hours. And I have two batteries, both last about the same amount of time.

Well did you install it?

Uh, battery usage seems about the same to me... But the battery does drain pretty quickly to begin with anyway

Ground

Lol, no, you can't.

Huh strange. I heard that a mid-2016 release was the goal.

...?

What's the point of this thread? This isn't a PC, it's not like we can do anything about the temps.

I was able to log in without issues but I couldn't search for photos. There was simply no search button or search option like in all the screenshots. Was super confused

-Turn screen off -Put finger anywhere on screen -Without releasing, swipe down -Release finger Is that right? I've tried about 10 times and I'm getting nothing. Is there a setting to enable/disable this somewhere? I might have disabled it by mistake

Doesn't seem to work for me... Is it double tap then swipe? I'm trying all sorts of tapping combinations and nothing interesting is happening, other than the screen turning on as normal when you double tap

Quit trolling and just install gapps, it's not hard Why are you resisting so hard

If you don't like the animations (if they make things feel slow) you can disable them entirely in developer options

So I have a question, what exactly do you mean by a "half baked root" A root either works or it doesn't? I see you have already been successful?

Can someone please post a video demonstrating these alleged "issues"?

What touch screen issues are you having? You need to elaborate. A video would also help. I've had my Sprint G4 for about a month now and I don't know what these "touch screen issues" are that everyone is complaining about.

If you didn't do a full nandroid backup before trying to update, then it's kind of on you

Not particularly useful as this requires root

I gave this a try and noticed zero difference. It's purely placebo effect.
