OK, I got TWRP installed, what do I need to do to a) copy the CM10.1 rom over and b) flash it?

Pretty much guaranteed to not have gapps included with that ROM. So you'll need to flash both the ROM zip and gapps zip in the same session.
OK, tried that. Now when I rebooted the system it seems like I have some half-broken version of the old LG ICS ROM that was on it - it doesn't come up with the encryption error any more, but it complains about missing components.

You need to do a full wipe first, then flash CM10.1, and then gapps.

Did you wipe your previous ROM? Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, wipe system. I do those manually, some devs create a wipe zip for particular phones that can do all that automatically.
*edit* Beaten like a red-headed step child.
Ahh, I did the factory reset and wipe cache but not the wipe system. Trying that now.
EDIT: okay, so now it won't boot. It just sits there at the LG logo. I am going to take a guess and suggest this might be because of the ICS bootloader? Apparently CM is not compatible with it? Anyone know where I can get hold of the old bootloader/old stock firmware? All the links I found point to LG's site and they don't have old firmwares on there any more.

Fast boot flash the boot.IMG in the CM zip.
That or you didn't wipe cache post flash. Try wiping both cache and dalvick after you flash.

Oh, yeah that could be it, I'll try that next.

I've been using TWRP on my Note II. I definitely prefer it to CWM these days.
In unrelated news, I've been enjoying streaming of the NCAA Tournament on my phone today with the March Madness Live app. I just watched Davidson blow a perfect upset opportunity against Marquette, ugh.

Tried this, didn't help.
How do I do this? The all in one toolkit thing linked earlier only seems to have an option to flash the ICS bootloader.
EDIT: nevermind, it was hidden in the change layout thing.

I think at this point it should just be taken for granted that everyone's going to love it. It's a fantastic phone.

surprised dude is going gaga over the highlight reel. Seems like some random shit to me that I'd never use or ever really look at except once or twice to see how it is.

OK, well, I tried to flash the old bootloader and revert to the old partition layout in preparation for installing CM10.1 but after I did that nothing I tried seemed to work. I finally ended up flashing a V30A stock rom from LG's site and the phone at least boots now, but I'd still really like to get CM10.1 on it. It seems like what I need is an old V20G UK stock ROM to flash, but the V20G_00.kdz file is gone from LG's site.

I have a six month old in the house, and being a baby, it's very hard to capture that perfect picture. The way the One takes picture combined with video PLUS the highlight reel is perfect for what i'd use it for. I can see how it's not for everyone though.

But even still, $200 for a 16GB is STILL a steal and a half.
And you gotta figure that you won't be able to buy one for 4 months because Google sucks at determining inventory needs.
The app itself has a voice recording option, doesn't it? Or did I understand that wrong? Also, if this video is correct, you can just use Voice Search/Google Now for taking notes.
Oh no, that part works fine. I'm referring to how you can embed an audio recording into the note using the widget, but not when you're in the app itself, nor even after you've recorded one but then deleted the clip (for instance, to re-record). You can embed pictures from within the app itself without relying on the widget, but the same is not true for audio.
Ooh yeah I see what you mean now. Yeah that seems like a poor omission. I'm hoping they'll keep the app updated on a regular basis adding in functionality like that, but they're usually pretty slow about those things... Though Chrome beta updates have been frequent, so you never know.
Very true. Problems I have..
- When I hit the list button it shows every song, not just the album I'm listening to.
- When I hit a song that's already playing, it restarts the song
- App isn't responsive, runs very slow even in offline mode.
- No way to edit song info on the device
- Cover flow only works when you're browsing recent music (the hell is this).
- Touch controls for cover flow are messed up.

True, but it should put some downward pressure on stores to get rid of the current Nexus 7 stock. Not that the tablet isn't already cheap.

A lot of times you can't do it after the fact. If you just tried to wipe dalvik and cache after you had reboot problems it probably won't fix things. You need to make sure you wipe both as soon as you are done flashing your ROM before you reboot.

Why is choosing a default basically never works with some apps? Like choosing Play Store and YouTube links in the browser always pop up the prompt.
Really? Always works with me. Do you have some app that's cleaning out your system cache or something? In fact, the other day, I accidentally picked a default that way and had to reset it via app manager to get it back.

Choosing the links in Google Now shows an extra app that doesn't appear elsewhere, Phone 2 Chrome.
I've got to choose the default from Now and then again from the browser. Weird.

Does no microsd really matter? I get that it sucked when we had 8 gig phones and wanted the extra storage. I get that for heavier users even on a 16 gig phone.
The One comes standard with 32 gigs though with 64 being an option. Do you really need more space than that?
Hm.. I used to use that prior to Chrome being released for Android, though I know there's another variant of "chrome to phone" or something like that as a permission setting when you browse your "allowed permissions" in your security settings for your main Google account. Have you tried uninstalling Chrome (or whatever app you use) and re-accepting the permissions it requests?

I have 16 GB internal + 64 GB microSD = 80 GB in my Note II right now.
It's kind of funny to think that it wasn't so long ago when PC hard drives were that big. Now I have the same amount of storage in my phone.

WTF do you use all of that space for? Not trying to hate, but seriously?

Sorry I meant doing that method chose the correct default. It works now, just a werid workaround.
Could easily fill it up with movies and music, especially if you don't have unlimited data. Heck, games these days can take up a few gigs for additional content once you download the install apk, and deleting/re-installing it when you wanna play it isn't feasible.
Agreed. I have no idea what these people use all this space for. The only thing I store on my phone is apps, and that's only a couple GBs.
Going back and forth between the S4 and One. Do any of you guys read eBooks on 4.7+" phones? Coming from an iPhone it's never been very realistic, but 5" seems like that could work.
The One seems like it may be too small, but I'm not really sure .3" would make any difference... would like to hear from people who have tried to use their phones as eReaders. Thanks.

16 is probably enough for me. I usually don't store things on my phone for long other than apps, and even those I delete if I don't use them in my rotation. 32 would be wayyyy more than enough for me. Props to HTC for making that their minimum.
Same setup with mine. TONS of 720p videos (including HD video podcasts) in my Note2. Having a need for that much space is not out of the ordinary.

My music collection is the main use of storage. It currently occupies about 33 GB of space on the microSD. My phone is my music player now, I don't even use my computers or tablet for music anymore. All music playback directs out of my phone. Dat Wolfson DAC.
The internal memory is currently being occupied by the likes of Real Racing 3 (1.17 GB), NFS: Most Wanted (1.93 GB), and Mass Effect: Infiltrator (0.94 GB). I'm actually running out of internal storage because of all these huge-ass games which are hogging space. I need to eventually implement the Directory Bind trick to create dynamic links (virtual directories) so I can store space-hogging games on my microSD as well. Otherwise I'll never be able to install Asphalt 7 and Dead Space on my phone.

Why do you guys store it there? Are you watching them? Delete after you watch, or transfer to PC if it's a video you made.
I guess I'm semi OCD about being organized/efficient lol.

what if i have everything backed up on dropbox + box + jottacloud + pc + dvdr backup but also want them available on my mobile handset to display to others at any random time?

you're taking it too far man. What about society.
I wouldn't use my nexus 4 for reading books but my gf uses her note 2 daily for it. No idea about 5".
So I had my N4 charging over night and when I woke up, the phone was dead and the LED light was flashing yellow. I read about this problem a while ago but can't remember the details. Should I be worried?
Good thing I woke up in time, else I probably would've missed my exam.

Guys my company got a couple of cheap phones that we will keep in case one of the main ones breaks or something. I can choose between a Galaxy Mini2 and a Xperia Miro, which one of the two should I choose? If I understand correctly the Miro runs a newer version of Android but which is the better phone.
