Tried out 041614 and the camera still force closes when activating/deactivating HDR, just like on 041014 and 040814.

The same goes for the torch; trying to activate the torch inside the Torch app causes the app to force close.

Sadly I didn't pull a logcat.

If some of you have the camera and torch working properly, preferably on a a D802, could you please share your kernel and modem/baseband?

I'm on Furnace kernel and stock modem.

Bart, looks like Verizon source/kernel dropped today, you guys planning an AOSP build from this soon?

Can someone explain to me the issue with this phone? Every rom has some major issue, and overall the phone seems to be **** on a custom rom. Vanir seems to be the most stable. And here are bugs I see several times a day.

Phone freezing. Power button non responsive as well

After freezing, power button sometimes won't wake the phone.

Every app on the phone crashing at once except the open app. For me I can easily tell gestures stop, battery bar stops, keyboard stops, launcher, and muzei.

Sometimes even the main open app crashes along with it.

Some other roms also have random reboots.

How much the devs working out bugs, and how much is lgs fault? I'm using the d801. Is there some source for something lg won't release? Is that common for them? If this isn't some weird fluke I'm never buying lg again. Never had this terrible and experience with a phone with otherwise great hardware. Vanir is a sexy and awesome rom on my nexus 7, so I know these guys know their roms.
[G2 Original Android Development] ckyy:
From what i understand is that these issues exist because 4.4 Roms aren't really 4.4. They are built on jelly bean. The devs are working on it. See PA and Mahdi for more infos. Looks like the screen on death issue will be fixed once custom roms are true KK.

About the crashing. Go into settings>performance control>memory>minfree taskkiller and set it to very light.
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
In my d802 roms pretty damm stable. Sure they have some bugs. But i dont have reboots or frezees or fc. I recommed to use furnace. I flash that kernel with every rom id tried and everything works amazing.

The problems are mainly beacuse lg 4.4 source code is not yet implemented on 4.4 aosp roms. The source its been out for few weeks.

So every aosp 4.4 rom you see is actually using a jellybean kernel and blobs for source. This cause the problems. Right know houstonn(from paranoid android) its testing some builds with 4.4 source, so its a matter of time.

In my opinion 4.4 as of now are pretty stable. Make sure you format data system dalvik and cache. Always before flashing a rom. And just in case i always formate cache and dalvik before and after flashing gapps(banks core gapps), or flashing furnace kernel.

Right now im on madhi rom with furnace 1.8.1, no lags no freezes,no reboots,no echo on phone calls. 1d 4 hr 32 min of usage 6:47 of screen time . 7% left

Latest nightly seems not to have the performance app??
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
That kernel sounds like it will solve my issues! However whoever mentioned the other Gawain tweak for the minimum tasks in performance control seems to have solved all crashing. Freezes and echo on calls though I still have. Plus a bit of battery life issues but that seems to be a fight with Google now and services... By who knows. Furnace may fix that. Thank you I will try a fresh install of everything and then flash furnace. I do usually wipe all the caches, but I flash rom and gapps together without clearing the cache on a new install. Again thank you!
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
Intellidemand governor that comes with furnace makes the phone so fluid. That may solve your freezes :). Also enable eco mode ande thermal control.i ve changed the i/o to row.

If you have battery issues please try furnace and use greenify to freeze the apps when you dont use them.

I thought I did something wrong, so it's really missing.
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
What do you mean you've changed the i/o to row? I just flashed it all now and waiting for my apps to restore and download and such so I'll poke around after that. Does eco mode harm and performance in any way? If not I'll use that and thermal, it sounds like it won't based on your experience. I never play games either, just video and internet and messaging, and I love responsiveness.

So, the latest version is broken yes? I was stuck on the LG logo, and people say they just went back to the 1.8.1 furnace kernel. I'm using it now and it booted fine. I wonder what's with the update. It was happening with 3 other ROMs it seems. Odd! thank you so much for the help though. It seems this will make things well enough until we get source for 4.4 going! (we as in the community, including the devs :P)
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
In my opinion eco mode doesnt hurt performance in any way and it helps battery. The i/o scheudler that comes by default is deadline. I changed it to row( seems to be better reading internal memory). The latest versio 2.0.0) is only for CAF roms, until devs update to caf only a few roms(cm carbon pac) works with that version. Use 1.8.1 works fine. For every change on kernel i use trickster mod, in case you wonder.

Oh should I not user the built in performance control? As I undestand the latest nightly doesn't have it....? I think I have 4/16 nightly, something like that.

However....holy ****. Either this Kernel broke my battery reading....or...wow. WOW. Battery is still reading 100% after 30 min standby and 30 min of streaming music. All on wifi, and I didn't get to turn eco mode on......this is INSANE. I can tell, this will be great. And things seem stable so far! Thank you so much!

So with verizon releasing source.....that will help with my TMO phone too? If so how long do you thin it will take before things would run smoothly and updated?
[G2 Original Android Development] ckyy:
No it didn't. The drop from 100 to 99 is always the longest. It takes me 40 mins of screen time to drop from 100.

Guys, if ya have problems with rotation on latest nightlies, just flash original KK baseband, seems like Vanir got a little updated (but still no support for latest Furnace...)
[G2 Original Android Development] charlie95113:
Can you request a commotio build for ls989 to DHO on his next release... Which I'm sure is soon sense he only updates when vanir has had major changes
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
Will Vanir ever do a stable release schedule? Once it has source or out of beta or something? Nightlies just scare the **** outta me. I check the changelog and it SEEMS some stuff might be good, and since I can't wait here for someone to post if it's good or not, I just jump in and hope for the best. That's why I liked Commotio, it seemed to be a more checked and scheduled release, but unless I missed something, it's a bit outdated now, and it gave me issues but those issues I had on Vanir too until I flashed furnace, which now Vanir seems MOSTLY stable but since performance control was removed I noticed the every app crashes bugged, but only happened once all day, and bluetooth seems.....odd. When I don't look it turns off and won't turn back on. Only happened twice so I'm still looking into it.

Are there any, dare I say it here, better ROMs out? None of them seem any more stable, and Vanir has the best feature set, and being build mostly from scratch it just feels more solid and nice to use. It may be placebo but the ROMs that just stick other ROMs feature into a CM base just feel....sloppy at times. Keep up the great work!
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
You flash a broken build and worse case you reflash or use a backup.

That's the nature of android development. I don't recall vanir ever having "stable builds" or "snapshots". Find a build you're happy with and stick with it until something drops that you want to have.

Alternately you could do some research and start building your own version using their gerrit. That's the best thing about open source.

Bluetooth is hit or miss on all 4.2 based 4.4 Roms

On the two Roms running 4.4 source, Bluetooth is a ton better. Vanir will get to the point where they integrate it as well.

Asking " best ROM" or "better ROM" is controversial because everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Read and flash, to see what you like. Read mostly.

As far as stable? The only aosp ROM that is currently using 4.4 source is Mahdi (aside from a cm11 for Verizon only). 4.4 source is making a huge difference in performance and sod/random reboots. But it is still very beta. Camera issue, some devices have a rotation issue, Netflix is borked.

Its going to take time, but eventually all Roms will be completely stable.

The freezing is driving me nuts, even when I go back to the April 10th version, it's starting to freeze as well, I'm wondering if I should wipe everything and install apps from play store instead of restoring from Titanium backup. I don't want to go to other ROMs though as I love this one when it doesn't freeze.
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
Restoring apps is fine as long as you don't restore data, or system apps.

As I was typing my reply, crash and reboot.

Anyways, thank you for the response! Firstly, I suck at languages. Spanish, German, html, Java, you name it. So I'm not sure what simply compiling my own ROM would do. I also am not great at testing waters. With each nightly some things seem better and others worse.

For vanir, only one thing bugs me and that's what I can't have a immersive status bar AND a expanded desktop style navbar. Really though having my status bar on isn't bad at all, and I love the rest of the rom.

I think I will try mahdi. No idea when vanir will finish a source build and I'm curious. I think I've flashed roms more times on this phone than all my devices put together. I don't know if it's an issue with lg, or the switch to KitKat, but I've never had so many issues leading me to try every rom and every update they have, although I'm pretty set on vanir and its awesomeness so I'll play with mahdi in the meantime. Mahdi was acridly probably my second favorite rom I've used so far so no issues going back to it.

On a side note, I flashed furnace to fix a lot of bugs, is it still worth it to flash it? And if so, does the new mahdi work with 2.0? I know vanir and many other roms did not.

Again, thank you for the help!
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
Discussion of other ROMs should be held in their respective forums, but I'll answer your questions as best I can.

No, you can't use Furnace 2.0.0 with Mahdi since it utilizes CAF, which doesn't work with AOSP.

If you're going to flash Mahdi 4-13 you can use Furnace 1.8.1 (just as on Vanir), but if you're bold and want to try out the "non-hybrid" 4.4.2 beta you need to stick with stock kernel as it is the only true AOSP 4.4.2 kernel out there, afaik.
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
Oh sorry that's true. Yeah I'm having a flawless fun time besides a critical issue so I'll go ask stuff on the mahdi forums.

I can't wait until vanir gets source. The rom has been great so far besides the hybrid related issues. Oh how I wish I wasn't so picky and could just comfortably live with rooted stock.
[G2 Original Android Development] mayoni:
I was going to say Furnace fixed my issue, then it froze again and locked the screen. It's not a full freeze at least. I'm too lazy to flash other ROMs now.
[G2 Original Android Development] Giacomio:
D802 latest nightly !!! There's call eco :(

Good rom as well ...
[G2 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
I know ART isn't officially supported. However, when I'm switching to ART on Vanir @ flo it works flawless, but switching to ART on d802 still ends in optimization / boot loop till its booting into the system but back on dalvik.
[G2 Original Android Development] reas0n:
Flash Furnace 1.8.1 and ART will work.
[G2 Original Android Development] OnePotato:
I get freezes and random reboots, besides that I love the rom and settings.

Also, the battery life is more then awful and I don't know why.

Latest build with d802
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
freezing and crashing again now that performance control is gone you can't set the minfree which helped with crashes last time. Hmmm
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
I've had some freezing issues with Furnace as well, although I've mostly been running Mahdi so that might simply be due to a ROM/Kernel mismatch.

What seemed to reduce the freezes the most was staying on the stock settings for Governor (Intellidemand?). I wanted to run Wheatley (to keep to the lower frequencies) but that would just cause random havoc.

I've since then switched to dr87's kernel (running Wheatley) and it's super smooth, but then again I am running his ROM as well.

His kernel is for all AOSP based ROMs though, so you might give it a shot.

At least ART is working without custom kernel since that commit/change ☺ really great. Thanks a lot @ Vanir Team
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
If Vanir has updated to source 4.4.2 kernel, you shouldn't be able to update using a simple dirty flash.

An all out 4.4.2 ROM would require KK baseband to work properly, something that in turn malfunctions on the "hybrid" builds.

Although having said that, on Mahdi's 4.4.2 beta I could only get rotation to work with his hybrid KK baseband, not stock KK.

If I misread your post I apologize for this tantrum. :)
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
Sorry but i guess you dont follow the mahdi thread..... Latest beta works perfect with kitkat baseband. The only thing you have to take into care is that you first flash a stock kitkat rom with kk baseband.boot once and then you go to mahdi...

Stock rom configures the sensors in the baseband, aosp doesnt yet( next build will do it)

If you follow this steps mahdi beta 2 with kk baseband ll work without issues. Rotation and all sensors okey

[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
On another note...

I don't know if this is the right channel for feature requests, but here goes nothing.

Mahdi and LiquidSmooth (and probably others) have the ability to add Screen Off to the navbar, either as a standalone button or as a long press function.

For me, as a clear-all-recents addict, this is a really handy feature that I map to long press Recents, since it saves all that grueling finger movement (ok, slight exaggeration).

If this feature has already been added in the last 2-3 builds or so, I apologize.

I've been trying to get Mahdi 4.4.2 beta to work, and I've seen no mention of it in the Vanir changelog.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

I do follow the Mahdi thread, and I do know that, I just decided to type the short story since it was a bit off topic. :o

Since there were people getting Beta2 t to work without flashing stock based KK ROM, I decided to try that route.

It didn't work, so I flashed dr87's modified baseband and got rotation working.

The ROM didn't really feel smooth and reliable (maybe due to baseband mismatch and/or sensor calibration), so I've gone back to 4-13 with dr87 AOSP Kernel in waiting for Beta3.

But we digress from the topic of this thread...
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
Thats weird.for me its extremely stable and smooth, and i ve tried every rom there is....

At least until vanir full 44 ll be out ahaha

Desde mi LG-D806 Mahdi-Rom Full 4.4 souce
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
As a lot of people report in Mahdi's thread.

My fault is probably my own since I didn't flash stock ROM before beta, and hence got off to a bad start.

After reading up on the sensor and partition problems (that mostly get solved by flashing stock first) I've decided to wait for the next beta, where hopefully these issues will be addressed the correct way.

Once again, sorry for hijacking the thread.

For what it's worth, Mahdi is what I'm running now, since for now it is the most stable ROM I've tried, but I can't wait to get back to Vanir when they get the source kernel figured out. :D
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
Lucky ducks. The source mahdi gives me the SUPER RARE AND UNIQUE grey lines of death. I read that flashing one rom for the d801 phones and then flashing mahdi works, but flashing the other rom failed to let me flash anything after wipe.... So in the end I had a brick until I could restore from my pc. Can't wait until that gets ironed out but since its only on d801 phones and even then, only a few, I hope it's just with mahdi and once other roms get source it will be fine... I hope. Plus I love the vanir setup so much and how they do features. I don't DISLIKE mahdi by any means, I just like the feel of vanir
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
I feel for you, man. That's some rotten luck. :(

With the N4 I became a Vanir addict myself; crazy smooth and responsive UI.

With the G2 I've just run into two annoying (although non-life threatening) bugs with Vanir for my D802; Torch FC and HDR enable/disable FC.

Reading the changelog it seems the Torch bug got fixed a couple of builds back though, so maybe it's time to go Vanir again.
[G2 Original Android Development] suua:
Hello fellas, the echo is still present on the d802? Its strange that i get echo only on Vanir.. Want to come back to Vanir :)
[G2 Original Android Development] BoundsChecking:
Latest nightlies all freeze for me. Went back to 4-10 until everyone reports the freezing has stopped. Amazing amazing battery life on this ROM. Best I've seen so far.
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
Sadly, with the latest nightly, 042814, I still experience the same bugs as before:

Activating Torch, either through the quicksetting tile or through the Torch app, causes Torch to FC.

Enabling/disabling HDR in the stock camera app causes the camera app to FC.

No logcat pulled, since I knew which bugs to look for and only had the ROM installed for mere minutes.

Sorry, I've been trying to keep up with too many projects at once. OP says this ROM is and has been 4.4 for a while, why is everyone making a big deal out of it now?

And just a personal nit-pick, why is Vanir still using JB assets (all the blue)?

And one last question, does anyone have the Vanir boot animation without the Vanir name? I kinda like it since my school mascot is a viking.
