****************PURPOSE * * * * * * * * *

REMOVE the boot security that makes device get stuck on Boot when any of the Google or Verizon apps are deleted after rooting, specially VIDEO.APK.

After this, you can delete anything you want to slim down the CPU load and Ram usage.

I have deleted most of Verizon stuff I did jot want, that pesky Slacker app and all unnecessary Google apps. Device boots up every time.

REQUIREMENTS:

Enable USB debugging in your phone's settings, >Settings >Developer Options >OK >USB debugging.

[Kernel][Loki][8-9-13]Broken Out Modded Stock Kernel

Hello all! Here it is Broken Out Modded Kernel for the LG Spectrum 2!!! A big huge thank you needs to be given to djrbliss for finding and creating a workaround for the locked bootloader!!! Now we finally have control of OUR devices!!!!!

What is this?

This is the stock kernel that has been modified using Loki (created by djrbliss) to bypass the boot loader. It has also been modified to not throw the security error when removing the videos.apk.

Changelog

v 1.0

Lokified

Enabled full root

Removed and modified files that send security error

How do I install this?

1.) Download the .zip

2.) Place zip on sdcard

3.) Reboot into 2nd Init Recovery

4.) Back up

5.) Go to install zip from sdcard

6.) Select BrokenOutModdedKernel.zip

7.) Reboot!

Technical Info

This replaces your boot.img which includes the kernel. It has been modified to bypass the locked boot loader. Djrbliss created Loki to do this. I have patched the stock boot.img using Loki and have modified the files that send the security error. This does void your warranty. I did not make you install it. I did not brick your phone. I am not responsible for any mistakes that you have made.
