Did you check if your modem has been change?

If I you back to earlier stock then go to v5
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Dude, I haven't even flashed this Rom yet. I was just asking a few questions due to some of the issues a few people had mentioned to make sure I knew what to do to fix those issues. I got all my questions answered and plan to give V5 a try tomorrow. I have been on the Rom scene for years and have found that asking a few questions tends to prevent issues.
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Just for clarification, I am currently on a cyanfox 4.4 ROM. Can I just wipe then flash v6 from twrp or do I need to find a stock ROM(my backup got deleted so...:/). Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
ONLY CHECK IF the V10p has the same modem of the V10k is ALL YOU NEED TO DO and PREVENT.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Flashed V5 from stock rooted v10p and all runs smooth. I just had to set my apn as expected and then LTE works perfectly as well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Good and glad is working!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Motherofchuck:
:eek: good God! Thats impressive. I however tried and did myself some hefty factory reset and my results are still solid 19000's. Could you be a bit more specific on how you achieved this? If you can of course :) Best regards!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Motherofchuck:
Also, bear in mind i discovered that turning on quad cpu control actually got me to 21500 antutu mark score! Crazy stuff as with it off i kept getting high 19's

I have ATT E980 using V5 rom it says E985T not alot of apps work that i use any help?

[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
A special app really isn't needed to edit build prop, just navigate to it using a root file explorer and simply edit the model. After a reboot it will reflect whatever model you have entered
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
I know but if the person is not familiar to navigate folders this app is more simple to star learn.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Good point, I guess I've been messing with Roms long enough that I just jump right in
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Just for the hell of it I decided to try V6, I flashed using the latest version of Philz touch cwm and I get the message error lokifying image and once rebooted I am not running V6. Any ideas?

On a related note, I have noticed that the file structure of these roms inside the zip file strongly resembles a nandroid backup not quite the same as I am used to with other devices. Can this Rom actually be flashed as a nandroid backup? I have been installing as I would any other Rom but the difference in structure got me thinking
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
I use CWM
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
No offense meant but your response doesn't even remotely address my question. On a related note though philz touch CWM is CWM recovery
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
use the recovery mentioned in the OP , old Recovery works fine , newer once are screwed

also use the Boot image for V6 separte before u install the V6

meaning there is a Boot img 980 posted by someone few posts back, so in CWM flash the boot first then the V6 and reboot should be ok
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Thanks, I appreciate the response.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Is ok but if you read back you will find all your answers.

I try to help anyone here so no offense I only answer your question in short.

CWM v6.0.4.5 (flash any 4.1.2-4.4.2)cuz philz simply f**** my phone

What about the latest CWM included in Freegee? It's 6.0.4.7 at the moment and supposedly fixed for boot loops.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Not sure about that
[LG Optimus G Pro] cdt82002:
Not sure about for v6, but I used cwm 6.04.7 to flash v5. Said "error when trying to Loki-fy boot.image" or somewhere along those lines after flashing, but rebooted and it worked fine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Had exactly the same experience using cwm 6.04.7
[LG Optimus G Pro] abhi2889:
Not working properly after reboot

Any solution to this problem? I just ignored the error and rebooted the device but found some issues. Like Battery icon was not visible.. couldn't set battery percentage. There may be some more.. does CWM 6.0.4.5 work fine? can anyone directs me to its link?

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] joker96:
I am trying to install and when i select the zip it takes like 4 seconds and says complete and nothing happens tried with TWRP and CWM same result
[LG Optimus G Pro] irwancihuy:
dont direct flash from your recovery

1. rename update5.zip become update.zip (remember, must named update.zip)

2. put this to root internal storage (not external storage)

3. go to CWM, choose install > apply /sdcard/update.zip

4. wait until finish

5. done!

if u install v6, dont forget to install v6 kernel. you can find it here (this thread)
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
you didn't leave the link for the kernel.. . . and I have no idea where it is, as I can't find it in any of the OP's links.
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
Finally!!!

Thanks to irwancihuy and others on this thread for giving proper install instructions for E980, I finally got V5 installed.

1. V6 would not install properly. Seems there is a v6 kernel, but I haven't seen a link to it nor is it mentioned in OP.

2. For the E980 the OP's install instructions don't seem adequate.

Install instructions for E980 V5 (what worked for me) updated.

Download V5 from OP.

Copy V5 to your device (internal or external SD works).

Make sure you name the V5 download to "update.zip" — without the quotes.

From FreeGee install CWM, the older x.x.6 version. The newer version didn't work with V6 at all, thus I'm assuming it probably won't work for V5 either.

Reboot into recovery from FreeGee

In CWM recovery (make sure you have a backup of your system that you KNOW you can recover to) do the 3 wipes — system/reset, cache, dalvik. If the update.zip is on the external SD you can also format system, data/media, cache if desired.

Install zip — locate the "update.zip" on your internal SD and install it. Should take a few minutes to complete.

Wipe system/reset.

Reboot system — should boot reasonably fast. If stuck at the LG logo then you are borked
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
V6 installs like v5 but need flash the boot image posted few threads back

and you not need any kernel for v6 on e980
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
Thanks for the info, and you are certainly one of the people who put up useful install instructions/info.

Does V6 offer anything? I've seen a couple posts where people state it's really just a test at this point. And noted you were using V5, but not sure if you still are.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Honestly if you not use NFC and not care if your phone have the ability to vibrate then V6 will put your phone on the map only need some tweaks and VOILA'!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
Not sure I understand. You are saying V6 doesn't have vibrate and NFC working? but it can be fixed with a few tweaks?

Does V6 have the proper model number/build for E980? I noticed that google play messed up my apps with this rom. Everything I had previously purchased showed I needed to purchase it, and even gave an error when going through the purchase routine, though I think that has straightened out as they now show purchased again.

:confused:

I'm thinking of maybe starting a FAQ page for this ROM to combine all these questions, especially for E980. . . Do you think that would be worthwhile? Just so people don't have to read through a hundred plus posts to find everything. It was painful getting this rom on my device due to the little info about V6 I didn't see, and so far is seems like a very smooth rom.

thanks!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] irwancihuy:
v6 build based on E985 OGP Stock ROM
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Sorry but I not have the knowledge to fix NFC and Vibration issue in my case I don't care bacause I not use it

You need tweak your build.prop in order to fix some issues REMEMBER this is a China based rom so some things need changed but you can use WITHOUT PROBLEMS

I recommend this app easy to use and make a back up automatically in case you f*** some things :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
[LG Optimus G Pro] ABCStore:
I don't want to sound negative but posts like this are pretty useless.

What issues need to be fixed?

What exactly needs to be changed in build.prop?

Also, what boot image needs to be flashed along with v6 in order for it to boot up?

What is the correct, bullet-proof procedure to flash v6?

Etc etc etc

I know I'm not the only one frustrated with total randomness of the [lack of] information.

ABC
[LG Optimus G Pro] Erislover:
^^this

Just find the happy balance between 1) finding a ROM that has bullet-proof flashing instructions and most of the features you want, and 2) one that might hard brick your device, but damn, look at all those features!!!

I've been wanting to flash this ROM for awhile now, but CM11 is fine while I wait for instructions I can understand better :)

:highfive:
[LG Optimus G Pro] abhi2889:
Thanks for proper steps. I got it installed by using the recovery mentioned in OP. CWM installed from freegee were showing the error related to lokifying the image..
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Did you read the entire thread?

Every user use different things on their phones so I tweak the ROM by my NEEDS so I know some things for past experiences

If you need help only ask or search
[LG Optimus G Pro] fronz:

Your guide is very good. But if he did reset factory, wipe cache,... and did restore the backup of new rom.., so he can't install terminal emulator if he restore his rom.

[MENTION=1755963]anirudhks[/MENTION]:

I wasn't getting good screen-on time, so I decided to test this rom with that other kernel + Intellidemand governor + some personal governor tweaks.

Unfortunately, the way I use my phone makes it so that it isn't sleeping all day LOL. I need more battery power with the screen on rather than just screen off.

QUESTION: If I were to revert back to your tweaked kernel, how can I do it without having to do a full restore? Can I do an advanced backup and just restore boot.img?

I made a backup, but if I want to revert back in a few days, I don't want to lose app data and texts that have accumulated over the time since the backup.

--------

Also, I'm seeing the same exact questions being posted over and over and over and over again here.

PEOPLE, PLEASE READ THE THREAD! Your questions may already be answered, and if not, THEN post.

REPEATED QUESTIONS:

1) Download the "G2 V2.rar." Do NOT download the files that come in 3 parts!

The "G2 V2" is the updated version. The 3-part files are the old version!

The new version has English SU and no data transfer counter in the status bar.

2) If you get MD5 mismatch, you have several things to try before asking around here on this forum:

A) Redownload the files and try again. Download could have been meesed up.

B) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46120960&postcount=105

Delete the ".pdf" part of the file name and replace the original nandroid.md5 file with this one.

C) Create a new MD5:

You can do this either through your computer with the SDK software, or on your phone by downloading a free app called Android Terminal.

I recommend doing it one the phone. Less stuff to set up and it's easier.

Type the following commands and press the Enter key after each one (don't type the '>')

> SU

(I don't know if it's necessary, but I always do it anyway).

Grant Superuser access

> CD storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup/1970-04-05.21.54.01

If your file is on the external SD, then just replace "sdcard0" with "external_SD"

> rm nandroid.md5

> md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Try restoring again. If it doesn't work still, then it's either user error or your phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shakes83:
After i unzipped and pasted the new files to system/app nothing happened. (I mean the messaging app wont appear in the app drawer or anywhere)

I also already restarted the phone. I made sure the permissions of the apk and odex are correct. Is there something i'm missing?

Btw, im using e988.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
I think also changing the file to today's date 2013 and then the date will work too. Because we obviously don't have 1970 anymore.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I wouldn't mess with the folder name.

Some time ago, I renamed all the CWM folders on my old phone and when I ended up having to use one of them, the files wouldn't restore. I looked it up and it turns out that renaming CWM folders would cause this issue.

CWM has been updated a little since, but I still don't change folder names because that issue may still happen.

You can try it, but just make sure you have a copy of the backup somewhere JIC.

Hey i re-read your reply and did you just say you used emoji keyboard from the play store? I thought you were able to do it using emojis on the stock lg keyboard?
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
to be very honest with u i dunno what you mean by emoji keyboard on the stock , could you just post a screenshot how it looks ....lol I havent seen it or used on the current keyboard ,

also if you found problem replacing this file , just delete the 2 files again and restore from CWM backup using the Titanium backup ( extract from Nandroid backup option ).
[LG Optimus G Pro] anirudhks:
Thanks for the FAQ I have added it to the OP , again thanks for all those with patience and helping me making this ROM better ... :)

for your question yes if you just flash my baseband zip for your model it flashes both boot and the modem so you can give it a try , since I have added few tweaks to the existing stock modem I am not sure if the OS would match its tweaks with a custom Kernel ( sorry not a pro here to verify ithe custom kernel is compatible ) just like Manfacturers recomend try using my modded modem with this rom and see the screen time ,,, as for now I am able ot achieve close to 5.5 hours of SOT with heavy usage of web , messaging and video streaming...

edit : if you want to go back to custom Kernel you can you will not loose anything like apps or data..

Go to your build.prop change the country and you will see the N icon

T-Mobile?

Hey, anyone else using this on T-Mobile US?

I've done all the apn stuff, though it loads an apn by T-Mo automatically (epc.t-mobile.com) — I've set the fast.t-mobile.com apn but can't say I see much difference. Tested where the signal is strong and got about 15 Mbps download and 9 Mbps up. With stock E980 I got 20+Mbps down.

Just curious if anyone found that there needed to be something else change, buildprop or something.

thx
[LG Optimus G Pro] ABCStore:
I have mine set to fast.tmobile.com (notice no dash)

Actually, signal strength affects download speed more than anything.
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
I've seen both with and without dash

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

shows with, but I'll test without, next time I go out to that location.

generally I see epc.tmobile.com & fast.t-mobile.com

fast is said to be for LTE, however with this ROM the automatic apn set by T-mobile was epc.tmobile.com, thus I added a new apn with fast. That's why I'm curious if I need to change something else somewhere such as a buildprop setting.

I tested both ROMS in the exact same location one right after the other, thus same signal strength.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

From what I understand, and now looking for it, V6 has a "boot.img" file inside the "V6.zip" download that needs to be flashed prior to flashing the ROM.

From what I understand from your post and link is, you are giving the CWM recovery app and nothing about flashing the actual "boot.img" that is a must to get this up and going — I'm not clear on how to flash the "boot.img" file included in the V6.zip download, as I've never flashed IMG files onto a device and what I've found online is that they need to be done via fastboot or converted to a zip cwm can flash.

Or am I still missing something?
[LG Optimus G Pro] fronz:
I dont really use nfc. It only showed up when i changed my 4G icon to 4G LTE using the build.prop edit.....and theres no switch to deactivate
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
The switch is in settings under share and connect, I also replied with this info in your other thread you started in regard to this. Some of the settings for this phone seem semi hidden or at least aren't totally intuitive for all users but I guarantee you have a way to switch off NFC just look a bit harder buddy.

If you are still unable to find it I would suggest editing your build.prop back to stock to see if that had anything to do with the option to turn NFC on and off dissapearing. Editing build.prop can sometimes affect things in the settings menu as well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fronz:
No switch for nfc on v6. Build prop edits wont add one either. I also tried the hide nfc icon app on Xsposed framework too no luck...any suggestions welcome
[LG Optimus G Pro] NWinfuse:
Yeah dude V6 is the issue as nfc doesn't function. Good luck getting rid of the icon

[LG Optimus G Pro] cdt82002:
Hey guys been looking and haven't seen any related posts. I'm not sure if the stock Rom was like this or not(didn't pay attention) But noticed on v5 that the MMS limit size is only 300 kb. My HTC One allowed me to change that in the messaging settings, but after searching a good bit I am yet to find a way to increase message size. I'd like to stick with the stock messaging app if I can. Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
I believe you need the correct kernel for that to work. You would have to look through the beginning of this thread to find which one, and I believe it's only for the E988 model but not certain.

It's always a good idea to get back to stock when going to a lower version of Android — restore you stock nandroid backup if you have it, or flash back to stock via the soft brick thread. Although, the OP does state you shouldn't have to revert back and ought to be able to flash from any Android version, but seems some have had issues flashing when doing this and others haven't.

I haven't seen a setting in the messaging apps for size. However, you do have a couple ways to increase it.

1. Xposed framework has a module for unlimited length text messaging.

2. try another messaging app from the play store.

********************************************************************************************

:confused:

Now I have a question for you all.

Anyone know what "appstats.apk" is? The little sucker is eating a reasonable amount of battery in relation to everything else, and I've not seen it in the E980 stock ROM.

Searching for it via goog:

I get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstats.android

which seems to be relevant for devs but not users, thus seems we don't need it?

There are some hints that "appstats.apk" is related to "system optimizer" (DX tools) installed on our devices which is made by Baidu.

Curious if we need "appstats.apk" and/or "system optimizer"

edit: or "mobilesyncservice.apk" — can only find Asian references to this service.

Thanks.
