This thread helped me a lot ,

Download the F240S_V20C_Kitkat_4.4_LGViet.zip and KK-E980-STOCK-LG-by-madmack.zip and Build-prop-rev01.zip(on the thread link I gave you) do not use one provided, search for one with 3 at the end(updated), Build-prop-rev03.zip

Q&A for F240S V20C Kitkat on E980

Installation instructions

1. From your 4.1.2 stock ROM, rooted, cwm (I used 6.0.4.4) installed. Boot into recovery cwm.

2. Do a wipe of cache

3. Install only the ROM downloaded and wipe cache.

4. Memory card won't show, its OK ,don't panic, root your ROM using roottool.kitkat.zip( search and download ).

5. Reboot system and confirm root.

6. Reboot to recovery and flash KK-E980-STOCK-LG-by-madmack.zip and Build-prop-rev03.zip in that order .

7. Clear cache and reboot system.

(Microphone and SD card problems solved permanently)

My device is E988. It also works for all other E98x .

How is the performance compare to the JB ROM ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ocieno:
Its smooth and battery life has massively improved ,even ram free is over 1gb on standby. I'm loving it . significantly about other performance I don't remember jelly bean that much I have been using CM 11 nightly for a while. But you'll notice the update smoothness .
[LG Optimus G Pro] riyoshadqi:
How about speakerphone issue?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ocieno:
sorry for late reply, but the speakerphone is still not functioning but all other functions are working well on day to day use. hope someone fix that soon.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Planet X:
Thank you for this post. But as soon as I have flashed the madmack kernel my phone does not boot anymore. I get an Secure booting error and does not go any further. I have managed to go back in recovery and reflashed the rom. It boots fine but no sdcard. So I need the kernel. Next time same thing happens. My phone is E-986. Is there any solution for this? My recovery is CWM 6.0.4.7 from FreeGee.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jackrip5:
Maybe you should use twrp to flash the kernel .. that's what I did.

Cwm for the rom and twrp for the kernel. That is what i ve read before attempting the flash.

Support in Brazil about upgfrade:

LG BRAZIL

"Please be advised that we have no official information on planned dates for update to Android version. We know that many models of the Optimus receive updates, but does not have available which devices will receive the upgrade. At the moment, wait"

I sended by email in USA Support Site:

"First I want to thank you the quick response to my question about software LG G Pro Optimuns update. . Currently LG uses the Android 4.1.2. This system has beeen already outdated because competitors use 4.2.2. I got in touch with your support in Brazil where I live, and they said they do not know anything. About it My mobile is not like AT & T. this is the pure Android. I can not understand that a company the size of LG with high standard of quality and a outstanding customer service keeps this impasse. I made this choice choosing you understanding that I was choosing the best one Therefore, I want your formal position. I insist I want a reasonable answer otherwise I will go to the media"

Don't expect too much, guys. Just enjoy kitkat custom rom for a while (and the best one in my opinion is spinx from Radeonmaya). Otherwise, sell your GPro and get another kitkat device ?

Instead of being pesimistic, I prefer to flashing and enjoying this forum.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Planet X:
For me it would be crazy as there wouldn't be an update to KitKat for this device. In Europe it's still the Flagship device from LG as the LG Pro 2 is not even on the roadmap yet and the G2 has a too small screen to be interesting. I hope it will come through soon. Otherwise it's the perfect phone for CM11 as everything is working well with it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vladmir:
Lg should unlock the bootload of this phone! I have the e986 and I want kit Kat but is to easy to brick in the process, I think this is the reason we don't have more support from the xda dev's....is a pit because the g pro it's a great device.

Thanks a lot sugardad! This picture is a very good reason to be optimistic!

Inviato dal mio LG-E986 utilizzando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus G Pro] sugardad:
I don't see why not being optimistic, It's the same processor that powers (Correct me If I'm wrong) HTC One, Sammy GS4 etc

and all of these devices are already enjoying kitkat, I don't and I can't find any reason why the update will not roll out for the LG G pro.

OK LG Is slow on updates but many ppl are taking into account the poor Optimus 2x and 4X

It's easy to see though that for these kind of devices It's NVidia's fault for not providing the proper drivers

(the same fate had HTC ONE X and also similar Tegra based Devices).

If the Korean model F240L got It's KitKat treat then E980-5-6 treatment is not too far away that is for sure :p :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
The E980 AT$T if you look at the rescent phones to get KK. Thair are phones that came out before and after the G Pro. Hardly any of which are a better phone then the G Pro. And they have KK. AT&T nor LG is not worried about our device. Or getting us KK any time soon. They have both been saying the same thing sence our pgine came out. LG blames ATT and ATT blames LG. Its a shame to. Its such a great device. And i really like the LG skin. But this total lack of support is disheartening and im probably gonna make the move to the note 3. Ill keep my G Pro. But my primary will more then likely be the note 3.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Just try to get the Korean kitkat. Not many people have the phone so lack of support is understandable . Kitkat is working good on my phone
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
I can't get it to flash. How did you do it and what are the bugs, if any?
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Loudspeaker doesn't work while in call, no other bugs so far
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Any special features, I same some listed on Korean site but unsure.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Not sure what you mean by special. But it's got more qslideapps, more themes, home mode settings, g2 lock screen with weather widget and capability to add more widgets and lock screen app shortcuts , double taps screen off, slide aside, guest mode, built-in app for quick window case, all new camera app, that's just what I can remember. I wrote this with assistance with slide aside, I slide xda away, look at my settings real quick and slide xda back to continue. Slide aside is quicker than home button switching between apps. G pro 2is gonna have multi screen on top of all these :)

I don't use any of the cool features usually, I have them all disabled haha. The most I have enjoyed is the flex ocean lock screen , the moon moving up and down based on the angle at which you have the phone , looks great at night :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Here is a pic of slide aside in action
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
I will give this a try! Can you please PM me the instructions? In the other thread there are too many suggestions. I am on AT&T, thanks a bunch!
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
I'll try to consolidate a instruction for you. Am having dinner now
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Me too! Thanks for your help. I will flash tonight
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Use these steps to flash the rom:

1) Download the SphinX_F240LSK_KitKat_ReMod_BY_RadeonMaya_20.4.14_ LGViet.zip from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0OZRWNpXBYaYjdxVV9KNUlSNDg/edit?usp=sharing

2) Rename it to update.zip and place in the root of your Internal SD

3) Flash the CWM6.0.4.5 Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rrslaf7yynb0bsi

4) Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Delvick Cache

5) Flash update.zip from Internal SD

6) Flash Madmack's KK kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1hbcqdlb1q1pf65

7) Flash Ver6 build.prop: http://www.mediafire.com/download/47qz0huy6z2thm4

9) Flash SuperSU: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dgyx3whwlmc3cd5

10) Reboot and you are done.

Note: Most people can flash the Rom without renaming it to update.zip but some have trouble doing this. I am not sure as to why but this renaming trick works every time for me.

Note2: You don't have to be coming from stock 4.1.2. It will work even if you are coming from cm11 or any Kitkat rom

Note 3: This guide is only for E980

Note 4: i didnt have to flash SuperSU

[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
One question, do I even need madmacks twrp for kernel?
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
To be honest with you I didn't even flash madmack kernel when I updated to the latest version of the rom. Some people switch to hack twrp to flash the kernel , some people say you don't need to switch this cwm can flash the kernel

With this rom the thing is since there is no communication between the developer and the community not many people can say with a degree of certainty what to flash , what's needed
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Did you flash originally? Thanks again for your patience!
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Yea, originally when I first flashed the rom from 4.1.2 . I flashed the rom in cwm and switched to hacked twrp, and flashed the kernel and a few other things
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
ROM fails in 2 seconds

I have tried all suggestions on installing this ROM and non of the files will flash. I tried hacked twrp and cwm v2, and nothing seems to work. I have renamed file as well. Can anyone provide some insight on flashing this ROM. Thank you. I am tired of restoring my stock backup. Will twrp that comes with freegee work?

Too funny I took a month and a half off from phone fiddling, and come back to see the great ringing of hands still continues. No official Kit Kat for the G Pro, big surprise. Personally I'm just waiting for the punchline when those waiting all this time realize official Kit Kat brings no show stopping changes or anything of real substance to the average user.

Any news from kitkat for e980 and 988?
[LG Optimus G Pro] calientecafe2001:
So you do put

1. LGTouchControlAreas.apk and LockScreenSettings.apk in system/app.

2. LGSlideAside.apk in system/priv-app.

3. Set All Apks to 644.

Question? Do you install the apps or just throw it in the folder?
[LG Optimus G Pro] calientecafe2001:
Nevermind got it working and video recording now works with new build prop.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
The lack of those few features seriously restricted your enjoyment of this phone, smh, really? Amazing? Lockscreen widgets have been available since JB if not ICS, and certainly available on most if not all CM based roms. Come on man, I am glad your enjoying your phone again though.

it mentions its for the f240 but i'm guessing the above apks i need for my E980 should be there and work just the same. Should i decide i no longer want the features can i just delete it from the directories i placed them into?

my only other question is how to "set all apks to 644". i'm guessing that's the permissions, but i'm unsure how to do that. Thanks for all the help!!
