Yeah, latest nightly is pretty smooth and battery is great, best 4.3 rom out right now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Derp. My question was answered right above this post lol. Will definitely be giving this a shot, tonight
[LG Optimus G Pro] ahrion:
I haven't used this rom since the new harmony rom came out. Any big changes?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
It is probably the same feature wise but it's so error and problem free, battery is the best out of any 4.3 Rom to date except for today's Harmony, have not tried it yet.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

Now how can I flash back to cwm cause this is not working
[LG Optimus G Pro] rob219:
if you used freegee to unlock and flash a recovery in the beginning (pretty sure you did) open the freegee app up and restore from backup. i had to already to go back to my cwm recovery cause its the only recovery i haven't had problems with. seems a lot of these new roms don't like twrp recovery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
It is stuck now because of twrp because of this I tried to restore and it erased everthing now my phone wants me to set it up again and it asked for my google acount and it says the account already exists and it won't let me pass that so I could boot into recovery but what for if I can't press any buttons on the screen I need to get CWM back on my phone

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

I cant get passed the google set up on my phone
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
The touch pad does work, it is off a little. You need to navigate the first time by sliding you finger until the button you want lights up. Basically everyone that has flashed this TWRP(or the 2.6.3) has had to do this the first and only time when coming from 4.1.2 or any stock Rom. I still use it with the stock.

FIND THE REBOOT BUTTON

THEN THE RECOVERY

IT WILL THE WORK PERFECT.

Once you then flash the 4.3 stuff, the next time you go into it, it works perfect. Don't worry, you are over reacting, lol. Your phone is fine.

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Kills Carbon, Vanir is updated DAILY, not whenever, it has the latest CM updates and not way behind. Also, Vanir for me always was the fastest, I just liked Harmony for the customization but the Candy shop can be used for almost any ROM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Awesome
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
The only button that works is the backup so I got the app from the play store to go with it to see if that would work and it seem like it was so it said flash the ROM and wipe data and all that stuff and so it reboot reboot into recovery and everything was going fine and then it just froze up then my phone rebooted in to see my stock rom that I was running but it wiped all of my data so it was asking me if I had existed in Google account or to make a new one whenever I clicked on existing put my Google account in there it said this phone already has that account and it won't let me go past that so then I put new and made up a new one and it just keeps going back to that so now I'm stuck with that and a recovery that does not work and I had two backups on my CWM and I have them on my SD card I don't know what to do
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
That app does not work for ****, it causes issues just like this. You must be able to wipe correctly within the recovery, that app always screws up. I have been running the madmack hacked TWRP since it came out, I have zero issues, yes, on stock I Have to reboot recovery to get correct touch on but after a few times I know exactly where touch. Unfortunately, you worried like I did the first time but I caught it before going to far. For future reference, do not use the TWRP app.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
The Twrp MANAGER app doesn't work like Steve said..hacked TWRP works great.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
okay I got the recovery work in the buttons but I have two backups that I made and I can't use it because I made them cwm so my question is this is there a way I could put CWM back on my phone
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Also, so people know, this ROM gives you the option to download the nightly from the about phone section, no coming on here, kinda nice.

Other than CM, this is the only real Official supported ROM, and they are already looking at 4.4. Be sure to look them up on Google+.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
Ok I have been trying to flash this Rom for weeks what's up before it flashed and it would keep rebooting. Then I flashed twrp to try it and almost bricked my phone so finally got my cwm back restored back. Now I download the Rom again and when I go to flash it I get red triangle. Wth
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
You have the worst luck, I have never ran into one issue with flashing this ROM, at all. I am on the latest nightly and could not be happier. If you can try one more time,

Reboot into CWM

Flash Hacked TWRP

Reboot into recovery twice, yes, the first time it will be a *****

Backup

Go to wipe then advanced

Wipe all but internal and external ad

Flash Vanir

Flash Gaaps

Wipe Dalvik

Reboot
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
Do I have to use twrp

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

Now I have cwm zip on my ex sd card so if anything happens again I can flash back to that
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Yes, or the little green guy will fall over and the red triangle will appear. The cwm recovery that you flash will do a backup but can't flash new Roms. I had the same issue. Follow Steve's post above and you will be fine. He has helped me a lot of times and knows what he is talking about.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
I flash New roms all the time with cwm like carbon
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Yes, you can flash back, I was actually looking fir the CWM Flash for you just in case, here is the link if you lose yours.

[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Vanir is based off the Official and the newest Official gives issues with CWM, you can use CWM but you have to modify the updater script before flashing.

First of all... Great rom. Smooth, fast and seems reliable so far. I am having issues getting LTE to work. Is there a fix for that or have I done something wrong? Thanks!
[LG Optimus G Pro] doublen1:
Ok... One more thing to add. No stereo audio on headphones it seems. Upgraded to the newest nightly and still have the issue. Hmm...
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Go into your quick tiles settings and make sure you choose LTE and turn it on, I had to do this the first time flashing. Also, make sure your on the correct APN.

As for the headphones, I personally am not having this issue but check your DSP settings.
[LG Optimus G Pro] doublen1:
Thanks. I'll try that. And it is possible it is the headphones themselves. But they worked the last time I used them so... Idk

hacked MadMack TWRP

Please please please can someone add this to the first post. If it wasn't for that user who put the right TWRP in, I would have been banging my head against the wall. I had the non-hacked version and didn't realize the difference.

I stayed away from my ROM flashing fix because I wanted stability of stock, but alas I have broken down and flashed this. Stock just isn't customizable enough.

Lets see what happens.

-Logic

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Ok, im stuck on the LG logo... been that way for about 5 minutes or so. I know sometimes the first boot can take a while, but this is the first I've seen take this long. I'm able to get into MadMacks hacked recovery and I have wiped, flashed rom, gapps, and baseband. All flash successfully.

Will try just rom and gapps next.

-Logic
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Make sure when flashing Vanir for the first time, go into advanced wipe and wipe all but internal and external SD, this is a must. Then flash Vanir and latest Gaaps.

Download latest Gaaps from here

I didn't use the hacked TWRP, just CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashed only ROM & Gapps, haven't had any problems, I'm a bit skeptical about TWRP so i'm sticking to CWM, only down side is not being able to rename backups, but other than that, so far so good.

[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
I have flashed Roms about 70 times trough the hacked TWRP, I have never had one issue, ever. If you are coming from stock, the first time is a ***** but once its on 4.3, its all gold from there and has more options than CWM that I use daily.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:

[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:

[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
I did something like this, but for whatever reason the Hacked twrp just would not work for me. In any event i was able to use the 'messed up' twrp to do the install, took some work but i figured out the points and was able to load Vanir by itself. Then I went back and loaded gapps and it worked just fine. Once I loaded Vanir, twrp performed flawlessly.

I didn't do a FULL wipe of system and SD, just the standard wipe sufficed for me. In any event I'm up and running and had to enable LTE. Not certain i did that 100% correct and the APN settings were already there for ATT so I didn't bother any of that. I chose the option for GSM/WCDMA and LTE. Is that correct?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
Messed up TWRP?

Also, a full wipe is needed as there is a tool that keeps your Gaaps and when going from anything other than 4.3, your asking for issues.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Yeah, probably a bad choice of words. I was able to move around TWRP coming from stock (where the touch points are off because of the driver issue). I figured out the touch points and navigated to flashing the Vanir rom by itself. Once I was able to do that, TWRP began to work as it always has for me. flawlessly. so I shouldn't say messed up. Just the not so touch friendly coming from stock experience :).
[LG Optimus G Pro] 1Zero3forlife:
That is the Hacked TWRP, lol.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Crinos512:
YMMV.

Well, whether a specific item is an advantage is up to the individual...

For example this rom has HALO and PIE. The stock ROM has neither, so they are differences. But I don't use either so they are not advantages.

Additionally, some users may actively despise those features making them disadvantages in their eyes.

Your best bet is to read the 1st post, and maybe google some Vanir ROM review videos to see it in action.

I like it, you may not. :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Advantage

a favorable or desirable circumstance or feature; a benefit.

"the village's proximity to the town is an advantage"

Difference

a point or way in which people or things are not the same.

"the differences between men and women"

Best EQ setting

Hi Sitti,

Squeezing out the best possible sound quality depends on the headphone you are using. If you have got a normal headphone, you need to play around with the EQ to get the best possible sound output. And, if you are using audiophile gear, you may not need to do any settings at all!

I will give you an example :-

I own a Sony Xperia M Dual. The default headphones which comes along with it are quite decent enough, with a dominant bass line. I am kind of an audiophile, I don't like too much bass. So, I have tweaked the EQ settings in the following way to get the best possible sound out of it :

Clear Bass Level : +7

Equalizer (left to right) - -3 +3 +4 -3 +2

Surround Sound - Studio

Clear Stereo - Off

Dynamic Normaliser - On

And, that's all! Trust me, you will love your music. Let me know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepayan21:
That should definitely squeeze out the best possible sound!

Hi,

Please note that EQ settings are heavily dependent on the headphones you are using. Following EQ settings are according to my audio gear that I use. Believe me, they sound amazing! A bit closer to true audiophile gears!

My device : Sony Xperia M Dual

Headphone : Sony MH410C

EQ settings :

Clear Bass level : +10

Equalizer (left to right) : -4, +4, +4, -3, +3.

Settings :

Surround Sound : Studio

Clear Stereo : Off

Dynamic Normalizer : On

Happy Listening! :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepayan21:
Another best EQ setting

Phone : Sony Xperia M Dual

Thanks for the response.

If you feel male vocals lack warmth and depth, just increase the 400Hz from (-3) to 0., but not more than that, as it will introduce unnecessary hum.

If you feel too much bass, just decrease the Clear Bass level accordingly.

That should do it.
