[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Welcome to the forums and the Optimus G! You've made yourself a great choice getting this phone :)

Glad to see you are already rooted and ROM'd as well. A good ROM for customization would be either Beanstalk, Carbon ROM, Dirty Unicorns, AOKP, etc. Pretty much every ROM that isn't CM will give you good customization options. And I know that Carbon has working Halo too.

I've been saying this everywhere on the forums, and I'm gonna say it here; if you can find some of the old 4.2.2 ROMs, I suggest you give those a whirl. The only real bug with 4.2.2 ROMs is camera autofocus. It requires a workaround with a script. But those ROMs are solid as ever and have really good battery life, way better than 4.3 in my honest opinion. And the newer stock based LG ROMs are better than ever as well. Amazing battery life and super smooth performance with those.

So, to be honest, you really can't go wrong with any of the ROMs floating around here. Get to downloading and figure out what you like :) Just remember to frequently make backups of your ROMs in TWRP (ESPECIALLY a stock ROM for prl/profile purposes) before going on flashing sprees, just in case something goes wrong. This is also one of the nicest Android communities I've ever been a part of, so please don't be afraid to ask in the threads for help with whatever you need. We're all like one big family here. :)

Cheers!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
I personally am stuck on AOKP 4.3 (Build 9/11)

Haven't flashed a ROM in almost a month, Im pretty content :p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Awesome! Thanks guys for the info. A lot of good info to consider. Any idea where I might find the 4.2 roms? I just was looking around the Internet and could only find links to 4.3 based roms.

As far as a back up of my original stock rom I was foolish and didn't back it up. I have been reading a bit about updating my prl and such, to be honest it seems a bit daunting.

My question is, why can't there just be a button to it like in Stock roms, but on every rom. Seems like it should be easy for the devs to put one in considering how smart they are.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Oh, I have been reading up on pac rom and carbon rom. Maybe I'm missing something but on the surface they seems the same but with different names. What's the difference between the two?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Check out spleef's goo.im account. He has all of the 4.2 ROMs there, and there's a CM10.1 (4.2.2) thread as well with CM10.1 nightlies still being pushed. And to update the profile/prl is actually quite easy. When in stock ROM, simply go to system settings > system updates, and all the options are right there. Connect to your wifi, and update your stuff. Really simple. It IS possible to update profile/prl from AOSP, but to be honest, I've only ever seen that feature on one ROM only, and that was the Helly Bean ROM back on my old Samsung Epic 4G. Like I said, I've only ever seen that feature on just that ROM, so maybe it was either broken, or worthless lol.

As far as the differences go between Carbon and PAC, it is true that those ROMs have a lot of the same customization options, but I'm guessing the real differences are made under the hood. To be quite honest, I don't know why, but I actually haven't even ran a PAC ROM on this phone yet. I really don't know why, lol. Maybe all the options are just too overwhelming for me. I like for my AOSP ROMs to be simple, but with some options.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Ok cool, thanks for the reply! Looks like I'm going to have to temp flash a stock based rom to update prl/profile. I'm using Cm touch recovery. How good is its back up feature? If it even has one.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Do you mean ClockWorkMod touch recovery? I never used that on this phone. TWRP recovery is much more superior for this device.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Yeah ClockworkMod touch recovery. Lol I wish I would of known that before I paid for the touch recovery. Oh well, at least the money help support some talented devs. :o

Parden all the noob questions but what is the difference between the two recoveries?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Wait wait, you PAID for the recovery?? Errrrmmm... Sorry to say, but you kinda wasted your money, lol. I mean, its good that you supported the developer, but.... Yeah, you totally didn't have to pay for it, lol.

The difference between the two is, I think, that our devices just "prefers" TWRP. I mean, if CWM is working for you flawlessly, then great. No need to switch. But there's been cases were flashing ROMs and kernels with CWM just doesn't work properly. Why, I don't know. Maybe its something within the coding, or the device itself conflicts with the recovery, but TWRP is the way to go, and has now, at least I think, universally replaced CWM as the standard recovery for most Android devices across the board recently.

But like I said, if CWM is working for you with no issues, then stick with that! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] etownguy:
I am somewhat new to them also but I will chime in. anything I have used I got from the site so you can find it or more current there.

Beanstalk - this has TONS of customization you can change just about everything. battery life is much better than stock. built on 4.3 - the keyboard is miles better than stock! has HALO built in <- I did not use it

Carbon - good ROM about the same as above, but not quite the adjust ability. battery life was good.

Optimized - built on the stock 4.1.2 battery life was amazing. with it sitting there just doing status checks no browsing it lost 2% in 6 hours!! my cell data dropped out and I could not get it back so I had to reflash (went back to beanstalk)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
I am digging beanstalk. I have flashed most of the ROMs and it hits a nice middle ground between cm and pacman.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Wow still getting replies! This truly is an awesome community. Ty everyone. I have tried pac man but had a big problem, all icons and widget kept vanishing behind the wallpaper. Currently using carbon, I like it except I'm getting battery life on par with the stock rom and my screen flickers often. Next I will be trying Beanstalk rom.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SquirrelEHD:
I had that same problem with P.A.C. man. :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SquirrelEHD:
Something to keep in mind... I recently discovered through attempting to force my way into using 4.3 that you WILL NOT be able to use the dialer codes when you get away from 4.1... Ex: ##72786#, ##MRL#, etc.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
What ROMs have you tried out so far?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] oohaylima:
Slimbean pimpin. So far so good.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Just gonna ask here (so I don't have to make a new thread too) if I root the G, will I lose all data on internal storage?

thanks in advance. I am new here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
No sir ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Thank you. :)

In specification on some pages are information: Droid 4 is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0. But why it does not work on this phone?

Drivers are needed?

Where can I find it?
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
Trying to learn how to do all this stuff, current just been cherry picking various user submitted stuff such as expanded volume controls, multi window, clear all to the recents menu.

Today I wanted to see if I could get PIE controls working just for my own pleasure since i hate how bulky the stock UI is. Any way I thought I was going well but now I'm stuck.

Trying to cherry pick:

Pie Controls part 1 of 2 http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/34026/

Pie Controls part 2 of 2 http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/34681/

Any way, I got an error then I manually added the unmerged files to the various folders and did 'git commit' and now I'm stuck in this terminal and I can't seem to do anything from here:

Not sure what I'm supposed to do from here, whether I write out or exit or whatever.

(forgot to tick: "Yes, this thread is a question")

Try removing line 2861 of frameworks/base/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

BTW I prefer PA PIE over CM. I tried to port it but I got stuck as its too hard for my small brain

I'll look into PA's PIE.
[Omni Q&A] Maurice5813:
Hey man, I want to get into building from source. I understand mostly everything about it, just got some questions:

1.What is the minimum size hard drive that can be used? (including space for java,python,all the other build tools)

2.Is 3GB of ram enough? I can upgrade to 8GB
[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
Do this on root of android repo and pastebin the output

cat frameworks/base/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
[Omni Q&A] chasmodo:
I'd say 80Gbs would be a minimum because you'll want to use ccache to speed up your builds, otherwise they'll take forever to complete.

You should upgrade if you can afford to. Small memory means that the compiler will have to use swap a lot, and that will slow you down considerably.
[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
SSD Recommended :)

BTW I think I know the issue OP is facing, What I would do is Change the name of the qs thing in Settings.java and the other file that calls for it - NO IDEA WHERE IT IS WITHOUT SEEING THE PATCH
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
Okay thanks for the replies. I'll try again shortly.
[Omni Q&A] sevenup30:
Your issue is that the comit 2/2 is setting PIE settings to packages/apps/Settings/ but OMNI do not edit this package but have their own.

packages/apps/omni/gears this is where you must implement comit 2/2,
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
Any luck? I added the commit to packages/apps/omnigears but threw out errors so mind didn't build.
[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
Tried my commits for settings and fw base for PIE in gerrit. I used PA PIE though :) . I can't test it now. If you can it Will be great help
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
I'll just restart my laptop & will try in 2 minutes.

[MENTION=4922752]mithun46[/MENTION] couldn't get it to work, maybe someone else would have better luck with it.

[Omni Q&A] parker09:

[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
Same here. Am also building. Seems the error is fixed :)
[Omni Q&A] David_Vaz:
Yes?? Is fixed?? :D :D
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
Not yet

Was just a lot of conflicts that [MENTION=4922752]mithun46[/MENTION] was running into; thank you for the time you put into helping me trying to get it to work.

As an alternative you can use GravityBox (Xposed module) to bring CM Pie Controls until a better alternative comes along.

edit: added second screenshot with DPI changed a little for those two applications.

Cause the fix should be rebased and now it is abandoned
[Omni Q&A] gyrene2083:
So, I screwed something up in other words?
[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
Nope, I just deleted or stopped that patch :)
[Omni Q&A] gyrene2083:
Oh, so now my question to you would be, how would I undo the other 2 fixes I applied already? Or do I need not worry about it?
[Omni Q&A] mithun46:
simply repo sync :)
[Omni Q&A] gyrene2083:
:good: I'm still learning, I appreciate the help.
[Omni Q&A] ph37rd:
If you visit other forums, xda users/devs/contributors tend to get a bad rap - the thought is they are snobs and don't want to help.

This thread and its participants are poster children on how these types of communities are supposed to work.

Yes, we can have differences and discussions, but at the end of the day, we are helping someone else. Whether that is through showing how to compile a ROM or getting someone to think about a bigger picture issue.

Thank you for revitalizing the community spirit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LZLandingZone:
If you have "Custom" and a KNOX warranty flag tripped, they won't replace it. If you have insurance, you can try, but there's no guarantees. With you having a Custom status, you have officially voided your warranty with Samsung.

The exfat modules are not built in to the boot image. Maybe for MJ6, but not for 4.2.2, or for the GT-I9505G 4.3.
