I second this. I've had exceptional battery life and very few issues whatsoever.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
its only a build prop edit , you still need to use the e980 baseband only
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
Doubtful. I've been flashing Roms since the days of the original Droid.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
then how come everyone has a good battery life and stable ROM than just you ? I am sure its not a clean install , or something wrong with the battery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Hello Frnds,

I have the AT&T unlocked versión and i am using it in India. In AT&T stock rom, I found some weird things like

1)After much of RnD, I still cannot change my data type to 2g/3g. It is always on 4g,draining my battery like anything.. :mad:

2)Also i m not able to use WiFi tethering.

Will I be able to do the same on this rom ? Kindly help

Thanx :)

P.S.-I m using the phone in India so still do I need the AT&T baseband?
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
yes you can do it in this rom , but still u iwll need AT&T Baseband , but you can toggle bw 3g 2g n 4g
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Great.. Thanks. . I will try it today.. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
I'm sure its not. Youre right. Im a newb. I only wiped, formatted data, wiped internal SD, installed ROM and then kernel, then wiped again as I was coming from cm11. I'm sure my battery as well just so happens to be taking a **** same time I flashed this. Cause that's certainly all it could have been.

I'm thinking it's that kernel in the op...
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
that may be the case too , better to use the normal baseband than the knock on , coz i know knock on sucks battery
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
Anirudhks is right. The knock on kernel could very well be the culprit in your case. There are a few other complaints of bad battery with that. If you made a backup with Freegee, then restore to that and reinstall V5 without the add on kernel.

I really hope this issue gets fixed for you because it's a good ROM. The 64 GB cards might not work without the knock kernel but otherwise, it's great.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Nothing is installed...

Hey Bro,

I downloaded the ROM and placed on external SD Card

1)Went to CWM and Installed from SD Card

It just checked for Loki support and showed message as Install from Zip completed. :eek:

2)Flashed the E980 ATT baseband

3)Wiped Data/Factory reset

4)Wiped Cache

5)rebooted..

Nothing happened and I am back on my ATT rom.. :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
very wierd.. first of all you need to have the old CWM that I have in my OP use only that .. the newer 6.0.4 something doesnt work

so make sure ur on the old one .. then do a reset .. advanced--> format system.. then install the rom .
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
You mean to say this ?

[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
yep.. that one
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
I installed the recovery specified by you in OP..

rebooted and went to recovery.. Selected install from external SD card...

I got this :

Install from SD card started..

Install from SDCard completed.. :crying:

So I downloaded from here...

[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
shud be same. keep the zip ( ROM ) in ur internal SD

not external
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Yup..! :victory: Thanks mate.. ROM is awesome..:good: But I got FC when I tried to check running apps.. :(

Update : Its fine after a reboot.. :)

How to enable knock on feature? Thanks.. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] riyoshadqi:
Help me...before I flash this rom,my phone is running cm11 then I flash this rom using cwm philz,now my phone stuck on cwm even I try to reboot system..what should I do?I try to restore nandroid but still stuck on cwm after restore successful.. :'(
[LG Optimus G Pro] justin860:
I tried this on my 980 and the phone vibrated at the boot screen which by the way was black and the ROM never loaded. I came from a clean install including system wipe

Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro
[LG Optimus G Pro] atir usman butt:
i have f240L i install that rom my phone showing e988 now which thunderkernel install?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
Yeah and I noticed too if I double tap it just right it'll turn screen off. Pretty annoying when I'm trying to just lock caps

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Happened to me too. Flashed kernel in op booted right up
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
For now Knock on is not available for the E980 , rather I doubt for a while.. and most importantly knock sucks battery.. so better without it ;)

Go back to Stock via KDZ method , root , install the CWM i have in my OP . and then do a install as 4.1 and 4.4 have different directory structure on the SD card

Could explain more how you installed? and what ROM you came from ?

Just edit in the build.prop in /system/etc to F240L that should fix it ;)
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
I have flashed the Kernel given in OP.. Will it cause more battery drain than the stock E980 kernel? :eek: How can I flash the E980 kernel? :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
no it wont cause drain , Drain will happen only if you use the Knock on Kernel
[LG Optimus G Pro] jacktackle:
are we expecting any thing new? like a G-flex Rom ported to G2 or Honami camera with i-info or anything for that matter :P

not that i'm not satisfied with V5, it's one of the perfect ROM atleast for me. but got bored now :) time for a change.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Bro.. I dont know what is wrong but I have lost around 67% battery in 7 hours with around 45% brightness 15-20 mins mid range games, 45 mins of music.. Is is normal? :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Attached is my battery performance. I also had 3G on for 40-50Mins n 2g is on otherwise
[LG Optimus G Pro] harrisnehal:
One noob question, Can anybody help me to install this rom on my LG OPTIMUS G PRO F240k. I just rooted my cell and install CWM.

I'm familiar with installing custom roms on my old S3.

I need step by step procedure to install this rom on my F240k?? Please...

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

I asked the above question, because I read somewhere that BRUSHING the custom rom. I don't know what is BRUSHING?
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
Everything you need to know is in the first post of this thread. You could also read back a few posts where I shared my install procedure.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
I had same issues. Some genius said it was just me.

[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Thanks Anirydhks for your work here!

I just finished getting this rom set up and so far it's running great! Better than the ATT stock ROM!

I cant wait to test the battery tomorrow :)

I have 2 questions for you:

1) Since I am using an E980, do I need to flash the E980 baseband? (I dont think this was ever answered)

2) If I were to flash this Kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363330

Will it ruin the battery tweaking you dud on this rom? Im not sure what you did to tweak it and from what Im reading here, you fid a great job with it too.
[LG Optimus G Pro] JDBarlow:
Is there a stock keyboard that has the emoji icons?
[LG Optimus G Pro] manhktqd:
Data usage still there.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
I belive yes it would hamper the battery settings , however feel free to try and then go back to the original baseband if it doesnt work

no need to flash a baseband for E980 as this one does not flash a modem , so you are ok to use the previous one

very strange , others ( including me ) cant find it anymore however if you are sure you did a factory reset and /system format and then did this . I will post systemui.apk later which you can replace with the current one and reboot , that should fix it ..
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
Why Is so many people having problems downloading this. I have not tried but reading this makes me think. Why is this different than other roms. Where you download wipe flash done
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
makes me wonder as well , other versions did not have this problem how ever I will upload a mirror tonight so we can address this issue.
[LG Optimus G Pro] htvl555:

Which one
[LG Optimus G Pro] goges:
still downloading ..... its 5 hours already...

anyone can share another mirror?
[LG Optimus G Pro] shakes83:
Hello OP since you can cook a whole rom, can also modify the unimessagebin.apk to not auto convert to MMS when including emojicons? That part only, not the whole rom.

TIA :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
Sure no worries , will provide the modded apk soon
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I finally got time to try and flash V5, but like some people, I can't get it to flash on my E980.

I followed the conversation between anirudhks and mandarjoshiin on the last page or two, but it still isn't working.

I did this (using the Recovery.apk program):

1) wiped data/factory reset

2) Advanced > formatted System, data, and cache (I don't want to format SDcard and external SD... shouldn't matter anyway)

3) I flashed the updatev5.zip. It takes like 1 second and then says it is done. It's too fast to have done anything!

4) I flashed the E980 baseband (I assumed that the flash completed even though it was ridiculously fast)

5) rebooted and waited on the LG boot animation for about 5 minutes. No boot!

Sooooo... what's wrong? I'm not flashing the Knock-On kernel since it isn't compatible with the E980 (and I don't even want the Knock-On features anyway).

EDIT: I get the same messages in CWM that mandarjoshiin got too

EDIT2: Oh and the ROM zip is also on my internal SD card like you told mandarjoshiin

NEVERMIND!

I had the update zip in a folder titled "! Flash" (the '!' forces the folder to the top of the list for easy finding)

I removed the '!' and everything worked. It's weird because I've used that same folder for versions 1-4 up until now LOL

Oh well! :p
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
what was the build.prop stuff to add the emoticons into the keyboard?

They used to be in the OP, but aren't there anymore.

EDIT: ...nevermind again. I restored back to V4 (after backing up V5), got the values, and then restored back to V5. It took some time but me gots my emojis again :p

I'm going to update my FAQ again (hopefully) tomorrow. I will add these values in there along with V5 installation troubleshooting (things like not using symbols in folders, etc etc). If anyone has any suggestions of things to add, please PM me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1shidiwen1:
my e980 did this since the first ver of this rom
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
OK, final post. I am getting a FC whenever I try to enter call settings either from the Settings menu (Settings> Network> Call) or through the Phone app (Menu button> Settings).

It says that android.phone has FC's and then my signal bar gets a red X on it for about a second and then returns to normal.

I'm also getting periodic prompts from a popup window that asks me if I want to enable or disable data since my WiFi is on and connected. It's pretty annoying.

Anyone else with either of these?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
I charged my phone today at 8 AM.. Listened to music for 40 mins.. Played games for 5-10 mins.. 2G is always ON.. 5 mins of some other apps and now after 6 hrs my remaining battery is 64% :crying:

How is it getting drained? I have kept my screen brightness in between 20-28% still a lot of battery drain.. :eek: I checked with Wakelock detector also, couldnt find something which is eating my battery.. :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
well if you have installed the rom just a day back or 2 , you will need to allow the ROM to settle for 3-4 days after that you will see the actual battery life...
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
Finally some one shows up with Sarcasm...
[LG Optimus G Pro] mandarjoshiin:
Ok bro.. I'll check it .. Thanks.. :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Technocian:
That's completely abnormal battery drain. Has your phone been exposed to high heat environments, possibly wearing out the Li-Ion battery? If I did the same thing with my G Pro my battery would still be at like 80%.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Probably no one cares, but I solved my com.android.phone FC by reflashing. I guess it just didn't flash right.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
That's usually all that fixes that
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Sometimes, yeah. I just didn't have the time to try again last night after spending such a long time getting it to flash initially (that folder naming issue). Oh well. All's good now.

EDIT: ok, no, the problem came back so I flashed again. Then it returned AGAIN and I flashed again... and this repeated all day long.

I've spent all day formatting, wiping, flashing, and reinstalling apps. No matter what, the com.android.phone issue keeps returning and my phone signal and data keeps dropping out.

(And for the record, I should have full signal in my living room. Not to mention that the signal returns for a while after reboot).

I guess I'll be stuck on v4 :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
I don't know if this belongs here but I'd appreciate a reply...

The dialer is just fine but it sucks when you're trying to answer a call and the swipe gesture doesn't work right due to the lag. I've noticed that sometimes when I'm doing something on the G Pro and a call comes, I get the same dialer screen but instead of a "swipe to accept call" gesture, there is an accept button I can simply press to answer.

Is there any way to make that the dialer's default behavior i.e. press a button to accept or reject calls instead of swiping? I know it's there and have had a chance to use this function on a number of occasions. This would make OG Pro perfectly awesome. I don't want to use a third party dialer, I tried about six different top apps and I like the LG dialer better.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
its either of 2 .. i mean if your screen is on it automatically comes up with the swipe option.. if your screen s off and idle and you get a call its press to recieve...
[LG Optimus G Pro] argolfermd:
Is there a way to change the data symbol and signal indicators to white? I have tried using a couple different xposed modules, and the best they can do is change it to white and always show a full signal, rendering it useless. I have goofed around in the past with SystemUI, but this ROM is odexed, so that isn't an option, right? Any ideas are appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
Move ROM, everything to external sd. Wipe, format system, wipe sdcard card (internal). Install ROM from ext sdcard. Wipe/Factory reset again. Should be good
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I tried one more time and everything seems to be working now. (*knock on wood with fingers crossed*) EDIT: It's been about an hour since flashing and reinstalling all my apps.

I did two things differently this time:

1) As you suggested, I wiped/factory reset twice. Once before installation, and the second time immediately after. (I did not format internal SD. It really shouldn't be necessary, but I would've done it as a last resort).

2) I did NOT install the E980 baseband. I compared the baseband version (as seen in System Setting>About Phone> Software Information) to the version I had before in V4 and they are the same. I can make calls and send texts perfectly fine too, so it's all working.

I'm making a backup right now JIC something wonks out later on.

Thanks Joe for your help. Appreciate it! I'm going to start adding a post-flash factory reset to my usual wiping procedure for Android.
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
Successfully installed on F240L!

So far it's working really nice except when I reboot, I always get this "secure booting error...", it used to exist only when booting to recovery before I flashed this rom but other than that this is a great rom!
[LG Optimus G Pro] jpcdeux:
I get that every single reboot, with any ROM. Its because of boot loader unlock
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
So does it mean the bootloader is already unlocked? I thought it was just bypassed by loki exploit, whatever it is I'm glad I was able to flash this one.

i'm flash rom 988 for 980 but it is have 16gb internal storage. how i can fix 32gb?
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
DARN IT!!!!!

I went through a full day and suddenly this afternoon, the com.android.phone crashes started again and my signal keeps turning off! Also, my phone will freeze occasionally for a few seconds.

I have no idea what is going on, but I haven't done anything since restoring my apps yesterday. So it isn't like I installed something that goofed up the phone.

And this has NEVER happened in V4 :/

What's going on?

I already did the flash in every possible way I could (and with help from Joe), but V5 just doesn't want to work with my E980 (and again, I don't have the Knock-On kernel flashed).

*sigh* I'm making a backup then restoring back to V4.

EDIT: I'm creating an alogcat after a reboot. Will upload in a second.

EDIT2: OK, I've attached an alogcat file. I really hope this helps somehow.

I cleared the log then did the following:

System Settings

Networks Tab

Tapped "Calls"

This ALWAYS generates the com.android.phone crash, which it did here too.

Waited for the phone to respond again.

Opened alogcat and then saved the log.

Now what caused this problem to start in the first place is beyond me. I have the exact same apps installed as in V4 (which again, worked perfectly), so it can't be an app causing it. I've cleared data for Contacts, Contacts Storage, all "Phone" (dialer) related system programs, and even Message (text/SMS) system programs, but the problem still happens.

I'm returning to V4 for now, but hopefully in V6- if there is one- this issue will be fixed.

EDIT3: I just had a thought. I just noticed that with V5, I still have the HKFriends kernel installed. It keeps carrying over between ROM flashes (Seriously... I flashed it back in V3, but it has stayed through V4 and V5 flashes! The flashes are not replacing the kernel!!!).

Could this be the problem? How do I flash the kernel for this ROM in order to replace it? On my Galaxy S2 (my old phone), every time you flashed a ROM, a kernel was flashed too (you could change the kernel though).

I need one of this ROM's E980-compatible kernels, not the Knock-On one since it isn't compatible. (Plus I don't want that knock-on feature... it will annoy me and will drain too much battery).

Help appreciated!

Oh and I apologize if I sound mean right now. I finally had 3 days off in a row and spent them messing with my phone. It was supposed to only take me like an hour on day 1, but it instead took up my entire break. :'(
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
I understand the frustration .. here is what you need to do... exact same steps...

Go back to stock .. via the other thread

next install freegee , and the CWM mentioned in the OP

before you copy the v5 just open the zip to make sure there is no Boot.img in the zip , if you find it delete it....

boot to CWM install the V5

do a factory reset and reboot , do not do any titanium restore for now use for a couple of days and install your apps manually than restores.. this is the usual cuplrit most of the times..
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Before the problem was happening before I restored apps though. I tried not restoring apps on one or two attempts and it took about 20mins before the problem showed up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
ok then , can we just go back to Stock ROM via support tools and then just fash v5 without any restores?
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I can try it, but I wont be able to until late this week.

I just checked the v5 zip. No boot.img.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Oh, question: As soon as I bought my phone, tbe first things I did were to root and install CWM. I did this right out of the box and then IMMEDIATELY made a CWM backup and then move it to my PC. Could I just restore that backup to get back to stock? It is pure stock and pure out-of-the-box new... just backed up via cwm. I don't even have apps installed on it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] consolevn:
I really like this ROM, started to use it since V2, everything was so great. But now? After finding that V5 causes losing of Google Search Widget, I turned back to V3 and then V4 (from Stock) but the battery is getting worse. Crazy. I lost now 5-10% battery per hour even not using the phone. With V2 I could use my phone up to 45hrs. Could anyone give me the link to V2 again, thanks!

Error when flashing

Hi, tried flashing through TWRP and it just says error.

No idea why.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
Won't work on TWRP use CWM. I've tried many times on TWRP and its always failed.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:

[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
Hmm thats weird. You shouldn't have a problem. The OP stated that its fine to flash this coming from other ROMS. Try flashing or restoring a different rom until you get more feedback.
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
You are right, no google search widget on stock launcher but I use Nova and it's there!
[LG Optimus G Pro] consolevn:
thanks so much, I did not know that. How is about your battery usage? This is most concerned issue for me and this is the best of this custom ROM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
Batt life for me is good. I get around 10 to 13 hours with 6 hours screen on time mostly. Other days its more like 10 hours. All i know is that this beast gets me through an entire day. Just yesterday i left home with 40% around 4 and came back at 11 with 25% so great job to the ROM chef!
[LG Optimus G Pro] tase25:
I'm actually stuck on CM 10.2. I can't seem to flash anything else including this ROM. I've wiped everything too using CW.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
This may be a stretch but are you flashing on the correct device? I see you commented from an HTC One X and i just want to make sure you aren't flashing the wrong files. If not then i have no solution for your problem
[LG Optimus G Pro] tase25:
Haha, yes. I'm using the One X again bc my LGP is useless right now without being able to connect to the network.
