Guest 569 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I installed the 4.1.2 Beta 1 for my jiayu g2 (dualcore). It seems to be stable so far. Only notification led is not working on mine ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aliaird Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've got a 4.1.2 ROM (not the official one, one from LeWa I think) running really well on mine. Notification lights all seem to work OK. I got the 'how to' here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736279&page=11 I think there are instructions on that thread about installing both Lewa recovery or CWM, either with SP Flash or Mobileuncle, from the Play store, which is easier IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shahmatt Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I've mentioned earlier that I had a microphone problem. I seem to have got the issue solved. I followed instructions in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37713731&postcount=56 (post 56) @ aliard, How's the battery life on that ROM?

Guest aliaird Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 To be honest the battery life is not as good as it was on ICS I don't think. The ROM I have at the moment is the official Jiayu JB ROM. The battery just about lats a day for me but I will be honest and say I use it more like a computer than a phone, so I hit it quite hard. Is still better than any other smartphone I have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shahmatt Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ah. That sounds about right. My battery life has reduced since the JB upgrade. I wonder if the Lewa or other custom ROMs have better battery life. If so I shall have a go I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aliaird Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Does anyone know how to change the screen on a G2? Mine cracked and I have ordered a replacement, but I can't find any instructions. Anyone know? Or can point me in the right direction? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bas-r Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Does anyone know how to change the screen on a G2? Mine cracked and I have ordered a replacement, but I can't find any instructions. Anyone know? Or can point me in the right direction? I'm sure you already must've fixed it, but I did the same thing a few months ago, with success. It's quite simple: unscrew all screws behind the batterydoor. Take off the plastic, undo all plugs. Now it's time to separate the glass from the digitizer. These are glued together. You can use a hairdryer to heat up the glue and divide them. I just pinched a hole through the front glass camera opening with a small screwdriver. This broke the glass and I could separate the glass bits from the digitizer. Putting things back together is as easy as going in reverse. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cartierv Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hi, are there generic flip cases that will fit the G2 that are intended for another phone ? It's mostly gel back cases that I see from Hong Kong. Just wondered if there was a case I could use, available in the UK (Note not worried about hole for camera) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
