[Verizon LG G2] sonofskywalker3:
In order to flash this ROM please make sure you have the following:

Nerves of Steel

Root

TWRP 2.6.3.2

A Current Backup

A clear knowledge of how to go back to stock

Disclaimer: Though I have flashed this ROM on my own device with no issues, and it has been beta tested there is no guarantee that yours will behave the same way. It is possible to hard brick your phone while flashing custom ROMs, and I take no responsibility if this happens to you. Please be aware that this is the first public release of this ROM, and has only been tested on a handful of devices. Further, this a ROM made for the Verizon G2 variant, and flashing it on any other version could be disastrous. Proceed at your own risk.

Installation steps:

1. Boot the phone into the TWRP recovery using ADB.

2. Choose "Wipe", then use the slider to start a system restore. This will take 5-10 minutes. (This step should be optional, but I have not tested it without wiping /data, feel free to test, but expect problems and be pleasantly surprised if they don't occur.)

3. Back out to the main menu.

4. Choose "Install"

5. Select "Blackhole_G2_Stock_1.0.zip" from your internal memory.

6. Confirm by using the slider. This will take 5-15 minutes, possibly longer. Do not attempt to reboot your phone or cancel the flash in any way.

7. Choose "Reboot System"

Please E-mail me or post here with any feedback, suggestions, and especially problems you have with the Rom.

Features:

Built on Stock Rooted base by scrosler

Zipaligned

Odexed, since this phone is a pain to deodex and no one has done it yet...

Stripped of almost everything but the bare essentials. As a rule, anything you can get from the play store is gone. Most LG apps are gone. All Verizon apps except mobile hotspot are gone. See screenshot.

Includes the Mobile Hotspot with provisioning removed for free tethering (thanks to WACOMalt for posting)

This ROM is a Clean Rom that is just the first step toward the final goal of an Aroma based installer that will allow you to build your own ROM with whatever features and mods you want. Since no Clean ROM is available yet I thought I'd release just the base for the people who want something lightweight and stable to flash.

KNOW ISSUES:

- If you wipe data when you install (and I suggest you do) you will get an error when you click through the setup wizard, but just continue and you'll be able to complete it.

- In some cases it may ask you to install the Google Play Services, go ahead and do so.

- The Qvoice has been removed, but the shortcut when you drag up and to the left from home is still there for now. It simply does nothing.

- The Help app is included only to disable the annoying popups. All other features of the help app except the icon glossary will cause the app to crash.

Download:

Version 1.0

Missing app installers:

(Coming soon) Copy these to your internal memory and flash via TWRP to restore stock apps that have been removed. Please post if there's something you need back and can't wait for the final version to have it.

Thanks:

I put together a package that will let you easily create your own flashable packages for the Verizon LG G2. All you have to do is grab any apps you are missing and want to add back from the Stock Rooted ROM provided by scrosler. Open the .zip on your computer using 7zip or your archive manager of choice. Place all the .apk and .odex files you want to flash to your phone in the /system/app folder inside the zip file. you can rename this whatever you want. Anyone can feel free to use this to package any mods/apps/themes as well, just create the appropriate folders under the /system folder like /framework or /media.
