You may consider grabbing a micro sd reader and cable to connect it to your mini usb port on the phone. That way, you could load a rom zip onto a micro sd and flash it through cwm. Just a thought.
[AT&T LG G2] xdp:
Few questions:

1) Is everyone thinking official CM 11 for this device is practically guaranteed considering there is official CM 10.2?

2) How is battery life with CM vs. stock LG firmware?

3) What is the best method to root and flash recovery, and does it still work with the latest OTA for newly purchased devices?
[AT&T LG G2] bigkevbosky:
Well, to answer #2, I'm getting about the same battery on CM vs stock LG. LG rom has better signal strength, but CM runs a LOT less processes so the phone doesn't wake up nearly as much. I get roughly 4 1/2 hours of screen on time with full 100% brightness on wi-fi using CM nightlies. I was getting about the same with the stock LG rom.
[AT&T LG G2] XavierD8188:
1) Yes because the nexus five is based off of the G2 with some differences.

2) Battery life is a lot better, considering this is a nightly I'm impressed because it will only get more optimized as they continue to work out the issues because issues with software generally affects the battery as well.

3) This is by far the best method to root. All youtube videos I used because I'm a noob. This link is for setting up adb on your computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXd7UC2Xm9U This link is for the actual rooting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmN0K1DyYzA and this link is how to install twrp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQTx8FmTtk I watched and followed along and didn't lose any of my vids or pics etc.

Let me know if this helps.. :)
[AT&T LG G2] xdp:
Thanks, you are saying CM battery life is better than stock? I appreciate the videos on rooting. The thing is one of the rooting threads said it wouldn't work on the latest OTA and you might have to roll back to get rooting to work. So I was concerned about that.
[AT&T LG G2] Wesley32:
Unless I'm totally behind. I don't think at&t version has a OTA, but that's assuming you have the d-800 at&t version.
[AT&T LG G2] FlyingColors:
I don't know if it's just me, but I no longer have the advanced power menu with the latest Nightly.
[AT&T LG G2] Ltilt2:
Flyingcolors, did you enable in developers section?
[AT&T LG G2] XavierD8188:
What carrier are you on? I'm on AT&T, I got my G2 the day it was released and I rooted it as soon as there was a recovery and root method. If you're on big red (Verizon) I believe you are correct. With the recent OTA it blocks this method, I could be wrong though. Also yes the battery life is better because the AT&T version has carrier IQ and that drains your battery also the stock LG apps even though they're not being used or open they still take up ram and wakelock your phone which drains battery. With CM those apps aren't present in the ROM hence less things using up your ram and causing wakelock.

Yeah I'm on AT&T so I never received the OTA.
[AT&T LG G2] XavierD8188:
Here's a screen shot, plus I stream a lot of music (Pandora, Spotify) just to give you an idea
[AT&T LG G2] FlyingColors:
No but that's probably the problem. I had developer options unlocked before so I didn't even bother checking. Update switched it back for some reason. Thanks
[AT&T LG G2] k2thejx5:
Reception

Now i know at&t signal bars don't show your real reception, but after flashing cm10, i can't send text from where i live. I can do it on pretty much every other rom without issue. Anyone might have an idea on why? Oh and of course i wiped from my last rom before flashing this
[AT&T LG G2] Ltilt2:
Some will have mms isues like I did. What I did was delete all APN and leave the pta one. GL
[AT&T LG G2] k2thejx5:
Just did that and nothing changed. So weird! Tried other messaging apps to and i can't send any sms.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
Really that works? Have to try that. Thanks for the tip!
[AT&T LG G2] bps119:
Tbh, I do not know. I thought it could be worth the shot since they seemed to not be able to do it any other way. I know that you can do it to listen to music and such, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for this.

I have been entertaining the idea of grabbing one of these and plugging my 32gig card into it. Then I would plug that into one of these. So for less than 3 bucks, theoretically, the G2 could have expandable storage.

Don't see it, could you be a champ and post the link sir *British Voice*
[AT&T LG G2] P1 Wookie:
He has not made it's own thread yet since he's still ironing out minor things before making it PA. It's in the DarkPA/Carbon/SlimRom thread.

EDIT: And the link to the downloads are here http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/me/test/

Use PA 4.4 Gapps, only flash with TWRP as flashing in CWM causes a bootloop, and make sure you do a full wipe of course before flashing.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
Is it a stock build or a PA build? What needs to be ironed out...any major issues?
[AT&T LG G2] jug6ernaut:
I don't blame you! Im going to be picking one up tomorrow for my dad. Gonna mess around with it over the holiday weekend :D. Idk if i would use it myself(to big imo), but it looks to be awesome if you dont mind the size.
[AT&T LG G2] P1 Wookie:
Nothing major. It's just a stock build at the moment. It's totally usable in its current state.
[AT&T LG G2] LarryLars:
What's the difference between each? One has a "b" designation...

I am still able to double tap the screen to wake/unlock the phone but I can't double tap to lock/sleep the phone? Anyone else able to do both or only one?

How do I increase the vibration on the soft keys ? Any help would be appreciated

[AT&T LG G2] paniro187:
Anyway to make the nav bar smaller
[AT&T LG G2] SysAdmNj:
I used xposed module and installed xblast or gravity box. One of them did it, changed nav bar button colors too :)

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

I believe xposed module would help with that as well. I know I've seen vibration sensitivity settings somewhere :D

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

I installed nova launcher prime and set a double tap gesture to remedy this. Works good.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
I tried it for 2 days but decided to go back to the G2...Nice phone but Windows Phone just isn't for me.
[AT&T LG G2] paniro187:
I have nova launcher prime also and went to double tap and didn't see a option to turn the screen off

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

One small "bug" if you turn the phone off to charge it it will show the battery for a couple seconds then the phone will turn back on by itself.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
Its in the Gestures section...you need an app that does double tap off or tasker with a task for screen lock. Once you create task you can use Nova launcher to select task as shortcut to double tap screen off.
[AT&T LG G2] darksideauto:
Are the night lies getting noticeably better? I'm still on milestone. Just don't want to get to crazy with flashing as I don't have a PC to assist me if problems arise.
[AT&T LG G2] rob ben:
working?

So is no news good news on this thread? Things running so smoothly that people don't have questions? Seems like cm on a g2 is the perfect combo if battery life still keeps its optimization. I pulled the trigger on a g2 today.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
I think the thread is quiet because everyone waiting for CM to update to KitKat or users have moved on to other KitKat ROMs for now. I have tried both PA and SlimROM KitKat and they both are very stable. SlimROM has more customization right now...

Please help

Picked one of these up last night, flashed the latest nightly, and now stuck in endless cyanogenmod boot screen and CANNOT for the life of me get it into Recovery. It wont even shut off. Each time I try and power it down, the LG screen comes up and goes right into spinning CM boot circle again. I'm afraid it's gonna run out of juice. Arrgh. Please help!
[AT&T LG G2] popshovit:
Did u try volume down + power til LG pops up then quickly release and press both again to get back to recovery
[AT&T LG G2] gleonard3:
Yup... many times... it will NOT do it... Looking into going back to stock here in desperation... DAMN. Download of stock image is crawling... not my day.
[AT&T LG G2] popshovit:
Do u have it unplugged while trying to get recovery
[AT&T LG G2] bps119:
Press and hold power until it powers off (around 10 seconds), then try the button combo for recovery again. It can be a bit finicky, but this is what worked for me when I was stuck in a similar situation.
[AT&T LG G2] gleonard3:
Finally got it to go into recovery. Like you mentioned, cant have it plugged in, not even to a wall charger. Anyway, I reflashed the NIGHTLY from /sdcard and it still continually shows the cyanogen boot screen. Somethings up but I have no idea what. Am I screwed?
[AT&T LG G2] seadersn:
data wipe done?
[AT&T LG G2] gleonard3:
Yeah, that was my problem. Got it. Thanks everyone. Sorry for clouding up the thread. Feeling nooby! Everything's fine now.

[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
I feel as though I'm still new to the Android scene (been with Android for a year, first 2 smartphones were iPhones), but I've been contemplating rooting. I jailbroke both of my old iPhones, but rooting seems like a whole other animal. I've done lots of research and found a few "noobproof" threads for rooting the G2, but I'm still nervous about trying and getting locked in a bootloop or whatever else can go wrong. How often do things go wrong in the rooting process? What's the general maintenance with a rooted device? I hear guys all the time flashing the newest nightlies and such. Is this required?
[AT&T LG G2] whoamanwtf:
You can root this phone with a one click .bat file on windows, and as for flashing updates you dont have to flash nightlies but you can... If you are going to use a rom with nightlies you might want to though because of bug fixes. Most everything on Android is easier then really screwing around with cydia on iphone.
[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
I rooted last night but only flashed TWRP. Any idea how close CM is to a stable build? Or more so an official release?
[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
Ok, so I'm a it the antsy and want to flash Cyanogenmod. So when I flash it, how do I restore my apps, contacts, music, videos, pictures, etc? I've used Google extensively and I've gotten a mixed bag of responses, everything from I'll need to back up with Titanium to don't wipe /system or /cache to even some saying that as long as I don't wipe my sdcard, I should be fine. What did/do you guys do to retain all of your information?
[AT&T LG G2] whoamanwtf:
I use titanium and wipe everything except internal
[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
I set up TWRP, so it would be the same process, right?
[AT&T LG G2] SysAdmNj:
I usually back up with titanium "Backup all user apps" and then I go to "Backup all system data" and deselect everything then pick only a handful like accounts,bookmarks,call log,clock alarms,messages (sms and mms), and maybe wifi points. Then I would restore "Restore all apps with data" after I've flashed the rom and booted up and thats pretty much everything I backed up above.

As far as TWRP I usually select Advanced wipe and only check Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache. Dont check Internal storage or you'll lose everything :0

So if you follow how I do it you'll have all your apps, contacts, music, videos, pictures, and etc :)

P.S. - before you wipe with TWRP, make a backup with TWRP, just swipe to back up should do it.
[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
Ok, awesome! Thank you so much, you've been a huge help! (I'd click thanks but my app keeps freezing whenever I go to hit it for some reason). I made a back up last night, so it looks like I'll be flashing after I submit this.
[AT&T LG G2] Symbian_Black:
The final Version is Up now. before CM 11 starts
[AT&T LG G2] SysAdmNj:
Are you serious the d800 is about to get cm11 officially?
[AT&T LG G2] SomethingWild88:
So let me get this straight... Since I'm on CM 10.2 Nightly, if I were to go to the final version, I wouldn't have to wipe my data because I'm going from 4.3 to 4.3, right?
[AT&T LG G2] cmlohff:
Well it was (almost certainly) bound to get it. This just means we are that much closer to getting it.

Does the compass and GPS work? I think the compass is one of the biggest issues with the AOSP 4.4-based ROMs for the G2.
[AT&T LG G2] AndroidUser00110001:
I used my own GApps that i made for myself. Basic core files and deletes the stuff I don't want in my CM ROM. Art worked fine with SlimKat. I dirt flashed so maybe that was my issues.

No not for me.

Did auto restore apps from play store work for anyone who did a clean flash?

Animations choppy for me to but was the same when CM first released CM10 and it was fixed in next few builds.
[AT&T LG G2] ceo.mtcl:
I agree. This is exactly the issue that I'm facing as well. Using Houston's build since forever and coming back to cm today. Looks like I'll have to go back. It appears to be stable otherwise, but animations are to choppy.

I love cm but will have to say bye for now. Will check back after a week or so :)
[AT&T LG G2] Ltilt2:
I went back to Houstonn. I don't know what he does but his PA rom is smooth and to make it even better, Art works with no issues.
[AT&T LG G2] bigkevbosky:
I just turned all animations off. I like Houstonn's PA rom but CM has so many more customization options at this point. And the best part of CM is OTA updates. It'll get more fluid with future builds, but for now, off they go.

Thank you
[AT&T LG G2] bigkevbosky:
Pretty good so far, no complaints. Stock rom is also good, but when buying the G2 I got it more for hardware knowing I could change the software if I wanted, and after a couple months on stock I found it has so much stuff I don't need - process running that I never use. So I switched to AOSP roms and I'm glad I did. Makes the phone the ideal Nexus device - stock with a huge battery and good camera.

If you don't have a .zip file for a working ROM already in your phone's memory, you could try copying it to a USB key and connecting it to the phone via an OTG cable.

when i plug a otg cable into my phone while in recovery it will recognize it???
[AT&T LG G2] Zoide_:
I haven't tried it myself, but there is an option in the recovery menus for mounting USB-OTG. Which recovery are you using? In TWRP a checkbox for it shows up after pressing the big "Mount" button in the main screen.
