Interest check on a stock GPE build for the Sprint S4 topic

Mods: If this is not the correct place for this please move it.

The title says it all. Is anybody interested in a Stock GPE Build for the Sprint S4? The purpose of this build would be a Stock GPE image with changes only needed to make it function correctly.

Basically, Keeping it as close as possible to stock GPE for the device with the exception of root/supersu and busybox.

The reason for this would be so dirty flashes work better and be somewhat supported and tested.

Danvdh's GPE build is awesome with many features however there is people like me that need a somewhat stable phone and don't feel like re-building and wiping the phone every time for a new flash.

Let me know what you thank.

[Q]anyone check new camera libraries? topic

Thanks[emoji4]

So I'm going to check out a used G2 tomorrow. topic

Found a "broken" G2 in the ads today, I might go check it out tomorrow. The seller is selling it for a very low price (somewhere around 150 USD) because the phone can't register to a network. Using my previous knowledge of other Android phones and the knowledge I acquired during my time with my own G2, I've deduced the following (ordered from least likely to most likely):

- the phone was dropped and the radio cable got detached (fairly easy fix, take the phone apart and reattach everything, the physical state of the phone can't be deduced from a single photo that's put online)
- the SIM tray is faulty because at the photo I got, a no SIM icon is visible (though that could've been taken without a SIM in the phone)
- something or someone messed up the EFS partition (I plan on checking whether the phone's bootloader root checker has been tripped, if the IMEI is okay, if it has a custom recovery, etc). The phone seems to have a stock ROM which I suspect someone flashed, or tried to factory reset the phone (which raised a suspicion described below).

But the most likely situation is that the phone was stolen. Why? Well:
- if the phone can't register to a network, its IMEI may be blacklisted
- the phone is being sold without any equipment, not even its box. The guy says it was sold to him like that, which makes me even more suspicious. I have some friends working in certain operators here, I'll snoop around once I get a hold of the phone's IMEI. If I can't get a straight story out of him, I'll try some intimidation or to knock down the price to oblivion, being that the phone might be stolen, and use it for parts, if my ways of finding its owner turn up dry.


Do you guys have any additional tips on what to check? I plan on putting my own SIM card in and trying to run some diagnostics from the hidden menus to see what's what.

[Q] Check your connection and try again - Play store topic

Hi guys,

Im facing the problem that I can not get onto the Play Store on my One Plus One 64GB.
I installed a modded play store, mainly by accident than anything else along with Freedom and since then it just doesnt work anymore.
Ive tried quite a lot to fix it but nothing has worked, any one got any more ideas what I could try.

So far ive tried
1) Clearing my host file
2) Clearing cache and data from google now launcher, framework, search etc.
3) Complete factory reset
4) System wipe, dalvik, cache and data wipe
5) Flashed Lolipop rom along with lolipop GAPPS.

Anyone got any suggestions? Would really appreciate them.

Thanks!

[Q] Google Play Store says, "Check your connection and try again." topic

The device in question is an LG Optimus Fuel.

This problem is (hopefully) the very last problem that I have with this phone after I rooted it and deleted too many things without backing them up.

My first problem was exactly the same as the one I have now, with Google Play Store not working. Following the final step on this site...

wccftech . com / fix-no-connection-retry-error-message-on-google-play-store-app

I factory reset the phone. Unfortunately, I deleted some vital apps before this had happened, and had failed to back them up, among them was the home screen, which caused lgsetupwizard to keep shutting down and restarting. To solve that problem, I installed Nova Launcher using ADB.

My next problem was that all Google Play apps wouldn't start. With the store, it would start and immediately crash, with the others, such as books and newsstand, the loading circle would show and never go away. The solution to that was to download all of the Google Apps from an outside source and install them using ADB.

The next thing that happened was that Google+ kept starting on its own and crashing, forcing me to update using the Play Store which of course, wasn't working. The only solution that I could come up with was deleting it.

Now, I have some functionality of the other Google Play apps, with the exception of Google Play Store, which says "Check your connection and try again." which leaves me right back where I started from, except now I have Amazon App Store and F-Droid maintaining all of my non-Google apps.

Knowing that a factory reset is not an option, how do I proceed and get full functionality of the Google Play Store back?
