[Verizon LG G2] EtherBoo:
I don't think KK is bad, there are just bugs that haven't been worked out because our maintainer went MIA and didn't tell anyone.

1 year is hardly old for a device like this, there are other phones released before the G2 are still getting support. Our problem is that being on Verizon, we're lucky to get a dev (since CDMA phones usually have their own version of the device) and there aren't many willing to take over. I honestly believe if our CM Maintainer hadn't bailed, we'd have a fully working KK version.

I probably will end up picking up a G3 if someone picks up CM support for it, but it's a shame because I just got this phone in February and really like it. The LG skin just completely sucks, and my only real requirements for a phone are AOSP support and an up to date ROM. JB is pretty out of date and I like the enhancements that KK has brought, so I really want to avoid a step back to JB. My next ROM will probably be Jackpot Calvins - again laziness and my dislike of flashing are the reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Upgrade to 24a and flash jackpotclavins cm. It doesn't have the issues that 4.2 based cm does and he builds stable builds when he does.

There's no reason not to do that. Official cm has always been buggy as hell.
[Verizon LG G2] EtherBoo:
That's my plan - I just hate flashing and only try to do it when necessary. Plus I haven't had the time to sit down and read the instructions thoroughly to make sure I don't brick my phone. I tend to comb through these pretty thoroughly - I've had enough times where I get berated for missing something and getting told "OMFG RTFM NOOB WTF?"

It's kind of burned me a bit into being overly careful now :eek:.
[Verizon LG G2] wooddale:
You must be in a strong signal area. I could have put up with the bugs on 24A but when I couldn't text in some areas where I could with JB I had to go back it didn't matter what ROM I used. Running lime it used to now. What's the point of having a phone if it doesn't work?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Go to xdabbeb's stock rom thread. Flash his 24a zip, and its a done deal.

Once you get on a 4.4 kernel base, youll wonder why you waited so long. No reboots or sod's no lag. And its blazing fast.

Bluetooth works better as well, if you use it.

I normally sit around 100db. I haven't noticed a difference from 12b to 24a. Only thing i did notice were redraws.

I get them at work on 4.4 sourced roms aside from mahdi. I just use airplane mode if needed.

@etherboo

Almost forgot. Flash a stock based rom first or your rotation and sensors will be goofy.

Flashing a stock rom embeds information into an area that even flashing the 24a modem wont touch.

Flash 24a zip.

Flash a 24a stock based rom and go through setup.

Clean wipe and flash aosp
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
^+1 ive been on jackpotclavins build for like 2 weeks now. And honestly i have been telling myself i should have flashed sooner.

Just an fyi (but try at your own risk) some steps i took to avoid having to set everything back up and thankfully it has worked out well thus far. Might not for you or anyone else. I use titanium backup and backed up my wifi networks, user apps and i backed up trebuchet. Backing up trebuchet and restoring data only puts all your apps back in the spots you had previously.

Lastly I didn't read the step about flashing a stock 24a so for a week or so I didnt have auto rotate. So what I did was a nandroid of my cm setup. Wiped everything flashed stock 24a. Set up 24a and then booted into recovery wiped system again and restored my nandroid and all is well.

Hopefully it helps.
[Verizon LG G2] HotShotAzn:
Any updates on the GPS issue? I have no GPS whatsoever.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Well interesting enough now I have no GPS. Which is odd because before I flashed a stock 24a to get my other sensors working. (Ambient light and auto rotate were not working for me.) So I have no idea what happened. Seems like when I get home I'll have to try flashing stock again and try again now to get GPS back. I've tried faster GPS and GPS toolbox and nothing has helped

EDIT: so another crack at flashing stock and getting a GPS lock solved it for me. Which is odd because I made sure I had one before the last time so I wouldn't run into issues but I still dij. But all is well.
[Verizon LG G2] imompero:
Man I hope someone steps up, i have said it before and I will say it again, i am more then willing to donate...I don't want to have to go through changing roms and pretty addicted to the nightly updates that CM provides

Is there any workaround to have all the power and smoothness of cm but at the same time a pretty decent camera software, say, can I keep stock camera app on this rom?

Only reason I have to don't switch to this rom it's the cheap camera Cyanogenmod offers. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people feeling the same
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
There is a stock camera that was converted, and a few others that work on cm.

Lenovo supercam, the new Google camera, snap camera HDR, just to name a few, that people have been happy with.

All of them are better than the prepackaged one, imo, but the stock camera conversion is not compatible with art.

[Verizon LG G2] :
Howdy everyone. Anyone else having this issue.... I frequently use the quick toggle to turn off/on LTE as signal at work is horrible. When I turn OFF LTE the network mode changes to CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA. When you toggle LTE back ON it doesn't actually change back. You have to change network mode manually to enable LTE again.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
Does anyone else notice that blacks look "washed out" on this ROM?

Im wondering if its just the default color/contrast settings that might need tweaking (havent tried a kernel app yet....will the included kernel honor color and/or contrast changes?)
[Verizon LG G2] :
Same here. When you toggle LTE back on, the network mode change to CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA. That's why you are not able to get LTE. You have to change the network mode manually back to CDMA+LTE/EVDO.
[Verizon LG G2] veloct:
I thought this was fixed? At least that's what I've been told by several folks.
[Verizon LG G2] ericerk:
Camera's a bit laggy.
[Verizon LG G2] :
Don't think so. I'm on 29th nightly 2nd version.
[Verizon LG G2] dalingrin:
This is a bug, it should default back to Global which is CDMA/EVDO/LTE/GSM/WCDMA

EDIT: Fixed in next nightly

I'm not finding the blacks washed out. Contrast looks very good to me. You can mess with the built in display settings under settings->device->more

How has battery life been for everyone? I get barely 2 hours of screen on time over a 12 hour period
[Verizon LG G2] Buddyfunlove:
My battery is ok. Once it settles in I get a full day. However, with nightlies it rarely settles in. Lol
[Verizon LG G2] bose301s:
Mine has been as good or better than stock.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Do you use auto brightness? I see people get 7 hours screen on. I can't get anywhere near that
[Verizon LG G2] bose301s:
Yea, I only ever use auto brightness, just easier than adjusting it myself.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Agree. I just can't seem to figure out why my battery has been so bad
[Verizon LG G2] bose301s:
Sounds like you have a wake-lock. Have you tried better battery stats? I don't really know how to interpret the data but there are plenty here who do who would help you.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Yeah I've used it and can't find a wakelock issue. It's just frustrating
[Verizon LG G2] bose301s:
How did it do on stock?
[Verizon LG G2] dalingrin:

I usually get ~4-5 hours screen on time over 36-48 hours. I usually charge every other day.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:

Why not tell us how you really feel, ****?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
I mean he's completely right but didn't have to say it that way.

Also, the fact that someone wants ota updates via cm updater is just plain old stupid and lazy
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
Maybe some of us have families, jobs, and/or lives that prevent us from spending valuable free time on a computer manually entering commands to a phone hooked up to a computer, when OTA wireless zero-effort methods have been already been perfected.

Maybe some people don't like things you like., and vice versa.
[Verizon LG G2] Cerealkillah:
The slick OTA updates don't mean much when the phone bootloops and crashes all the time.

The work it takes to get on JPC's build is minimal and the rewards of having a STABLE CM11 build outweighs any amount of convenience the CM11 OTA updates bring to the table. Until CM updates to 24A, vanilla CM11 will continue to be a nice idea that has turd-like execution.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
i couldnt agree with this more^

and now there isnt even alot of work to get JPC's build up and running because theres the one click root and recovery option in the VZW G2 Dev Thread too. I got a replacement phone from verizon and within an hour i had it up and running exactly like my original
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
You don't have to connect to a computer. Just go to thread via tapatalk app (or whatever you use), download the build and gapps, reboot and install. Just as easy as an OTA and takes maybe 1 minute longer (if that). No need to over exaggerate something that isn't that hard to do.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
My phone hasn't been connected to a computer since the day or was rooted. I use the xda app, download rom from the appropriate thread, and flash away. It takes maybe five minutes and you are left with a device that fully functions. All the steps in the op are not needed. With about thirty minutes of free time you can have your phone running the kitkat partitions and modem.
[Verizon LG G2] imompero:
****, do you do a full wipe?

Sent from my G2 using my fingers....
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Yes. If you are running this rom you are still on 11a or 12b. You need to read XDABBEB's thread and follow his instructions to get to 24a with custom recovery. It is very easy to understand. You only have to flash a couple zips and install his rom, then get a gps lock. After that you download JPC's build, do a full wipe, then flash. You won't be disappointed.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
There's an even easier way now. Thru Windows you just run a batch script and boom
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
This information would be more pertinent with a link to instructions.

[Verizon LG G2] wooddale:
Stevo I'm good with getting to 24A. I'm in a poor signal area and from what I have read KK in general sucks for signal that's why I'm still on JB. Even my Moto X lost some bars on KK but still seems OK now I here even it is suffering from 4.4.4. Any thoughts?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
i live in central NJ and work in NYC. I havent really noticed any degradation in signal quality in my area, though i'm in a very major metropolitan area. The one thing that pisses me off though is that my train line has like no signal for most of it. My dad has an S3 with 4.2 and has the same trouble I do on the train.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Yes most people are aware of freedom or autorec. I thought you were talking about a new way to get to 24a with root and recovery. None of these methods apply to this guy because he is already rooted on older firmware. That being the case, flashing two zips from XDABBEB's thread is a much easier method than going back to stock and using the method you mentioned.
[Verizon LG G2] NTFireFighter:
Anyone else notice that the builds started again? I tried flashing but kept boot looping, must still be based on 12A. Wonder if it is being supported again.

I am working fine from 12A. Can actually say after 2 days of use I have no SODs so far. Only thing is GPS is not working...Almost there!!!
[Verizon LG G2] NTFireFighter:
I think @dalingrin is back working on the G2 again, he was making comments in @JackpotClavin CM11 based on 4.4.2 ota thread about the 25A RIL files. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55518183&postcount=2043

I went back to 12A to play for the last 5 days and only had 1 SOD on 9/18 and none since. Only issue I am having is with the proximity sensor working erratically. It doesn't shut the screen off when I put the phone up to my head in a call, and I use AcDisplay and sometimes it turns the screen on when laying out as if it thinks I am pulling it out of my pocket, just seems the sensor is a little out of calibration. My GPS has been fine and I have been getting really fast locks. You may need to go back to a stock based rom to get a gps lock and then reflash CM11, that or try one of the GPS apps that forces a lock.

As a side note @savoca has made a really rockin kernel for CM11, I have been consistently getting 2.5 - 3.0 hours on screen time 14-16 hrs off charge and roughly 30-40% battery left. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572992

Let's not get everyone's hopes up. He stated that he was very very busy (that's why I had to stop deving)

Anyone try the CM12 nightlies?
[Verizon LG G2] natemup:
My, my, that *is* quite the interesting find. I, too, am afraid to flash...
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
I'm betting that it needs 12b to run
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
How does it run compared to JC's cm12? I've found that cm roms have a bit more lag within the ui compared to aosp based roms, like euphoria os. I'm currently on that and it is much smoother because of ita aosp base
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
We don't have aosp. All ROMs we have are cm base except slim, and maybe aod
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Well maybe not full aosp roms, but the ones labelled as aosp are probably 90% aosp. A while back there was plain Andy which was mostly aosp, it ran well. Euphoria os is mostly aosp and it runs better than any other cm ROM I've tried. There definitely is a difference
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
That's because back when snuzzo made plain Andy, we had aokp. Aokp is now dead, so all ROMs we have need to use cm as a base with us being a legacy device.

Or they could use aod or slim, but all choose cm

Edit: new full caf kernel is really fast. Won't be long now before everyone is using it.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Does that imply we're going back to 12b sources?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
No. 5.0 bootstack 4.4 aboot
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Sweet.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
People have started to use it unofficially, even though rashed doesn't think its ready......

But yeah, once its merged, every ROM will be updated to 5.0 kernel base finally.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Rashed is the one handling this phone in general. All variants.

No more maintainer for each variant.
[Verizon LG G2] imompero:
I was under the impression that the cm12 nightly was 12b bootstack, good for me i am on 12b from cm11. Never got off of CM :/
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Official night lies are will based off the 4.2 kernel base as far as I know. Don't think rashed pushed the new kernel yet.
[Verizon LG G2] imompero:
So what would the process be for someone to upgrade from official cm11 to official cm12
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Uses the same baseband and aboot currently, so clean flash

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
https://github.com/Drgravy/bootstacks

Grab both of the LP bootstscks here, one Loki and one bumped.

Flash the bootstack

Reboot out of recovery and back in

Clean flash

I'm not sure if rashed started using the 4.4 aboot, or if he is still using the 4.2 so try the bumped version, if you get a Loki error, flash the Loki one.

Edit: also make sure you have a rom that flashes on either of those bootstacks. I'm not even 100% if rashed pushed his work to officials or if it is still using the 12b baseband.
[Verizon LG G2] imompero:
Well that's the thing I wasn't to use the official cyanogen, but if we don't know what baseband is being use them it's just a crap shoot right? Is there a place to go to find out?
[Verizon LG G2] hardball 45:
I've been wondering this too...Where can we go for info on the official CM12?

[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
My battery life's been pretty abysmal as well. For example: 11 hrs on battery today, 5 minutes screen on, and I'm at 40% battery. Android battery stats show Android OS and Google Services in the lead, with the former keeping the phone awake for 4:45, and the latter for 1:04. Wakelock detector showed pretty much the same thing, although I'm not very good at reading the info it puts out.

I've noticed some other people complaining of Android OS keeping the phone awake, but most of the complaints came right after 4.3 dropped. Not too many people talking about it now. I tried a few things that were suggested, like disabling sync, but nothing's really helped.

I'm on the 10/23 build, but since I flashed CM almost as soon as I got the phone I'm not really sure how stock fared battery-wise.

I updated to nightly 10/30, and battery drain appears to be just as bad as before. I'll turn location reporting off and see how it does tomorrow.

The funny thing is though it's Android OS and not Google Services that appears to be the worst offender. Android OS is currently responsible for 46% of the usage according to Android, while Google Services is only 22%.
