Well then... HAPPY (early) BIRTHDAY! Liking your plan of attack as well. Loving the stability! Thanks and make sure you squeeze in lots of weekend shenanigans. Well deserved.

Happy birthday! and Hello my zodiac brother! (November 20th is my bday) Scorpio!

Also last time i flashed this gps was broke. Note sure if its fixed already but yeah good job on being so fast

Have not tested it yet
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
Excellent, I was looking for that.

Is anyone else on an e970 with ART enabled experiencing the camera app force closing as soon as it's opened?

Happy born in advance bro....I was the 3rd of Nov....keep up the good work....good to see a revival of this phone...I now use the S4 and I'm happy I can have my OG current as well..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Anyone tried enabling ART for fun yet?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
What is ART? I have not researched this yet.

From previous posts I've heard it will causes massive FC's....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
ART is the new Android Run-Time for the JIT compiler as I understand it, supposedly offering much better performance for Android overall but, it's new, it's still being developed, and if you enable it (under Developer options) on this 4.4 build when you reboot (because it has to update all the apps for use with it), the first thing that happens when you get to the Home screen is nothing but every single app force closing because it's just not there yet. ;)

So, at least for this build that houstonn is working on, it's best to avoid it until a later time when the issues with it are worked out. It's pretty new and nobody even knew about it till a few days ago - Google kept it pretty quiet and then wham, there it is.

It should help with a lot of performance aspects when it's nice and solid and more people understand it a lot better, but for now, just avoid it. A little more info here:

http://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Just came in to ask the same thing. Might do that after it's settled just to see what happens.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I see, thanks for the info. Probably only works on the Nexus 5 at the moment.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ice3186:
I enabled ART and I got force closes and had to reflash! Just FYI
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
It's how it's compiled I think. I flashed a ported N4 rom earlier I made for fun and it worked fine. Performance did increase slightly, not too much but it's cool. A lot of third party apps i.e. FB messenger and Whatsapp fc'd

Also, loving the new HDR.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:
i flashed :

Rom

G-apps

supersu

kernel

- wiped all again.

i don't have root access (it says no binary) , i'm stuck in kit kat .. and i can't see my files on sdcard (music/back-up/etc) . it's empty.

phone: e975.

solutions? i need to fix the root.. at least.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
use philz cwm
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
All you need to flash is:

- the ROM (V3)

- the pa_gapps

For SuperSU you need to use that CWM recovery since it's fairly well known that TWRP doesn't flash it properly for some reason (I'm sure there is one but I've never bothered to dig into the reasoning personally):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2462942

You don't need to flash the kernel houstonn posted; it's already in that V3 build. He included it as a separate flashable file in case you want to use his particular kernel with his particular tweaks on another ROM - there's no need to flash it with V3 since it's already got it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:
and how do you want me to install philz guys?

i already said that i can't enter recovery. and i don't see any way to flash philz from fast boot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
If you can't enter recovery, then do it from fastboot. Boot holding the Volume Up + Power, when you see the fastboot screen, you can do it there.

- extract the recovery.img file from the archive containing it, copy that to wherever you have fastboot

- with the LGOG in fastboot mode and attached, do:

fastboot devices (press Enter)

to make sure it's connected and visible - if it doesn't list the device ID you've got other issues to work out first. If it is visible, then do:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

When it's done, press Volume Down twice, press Power, it should reboot right into that recovery. If you can't get into fastboot either then again, you've got other issues - you might need to do a full stock flash with LGNPST and start completely from scratch, you might not, I can't say for sure. It all depends on how much stuff you've been doing with that device I suppose.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
I have the F180K and i got radio issue, no network :( Flashed my modem and restored efs.. non worked... too bad
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
A question for those using this build/ROM now:

I typically have a lot of music on my microSD card and now is no different: I have about 4200 songs in LAME V0 format and I'm using Google Play Music for playback presently, so what I've noticed in the past hour or so, every few minutes completely at random I'll hear a momentary silence in the audio playback - it just goes totally dead silent for maybe 1/5th of a second, and I can't seem to figure out why it's going on.

Just curious to know if anyone else has noticed this, and if not perhaps you could fire up some tunes and let it play for a bit. It's happening regardless of me just playing music with the phone laying on my desk (not being actively used) or whether I'm actively using it doing tasks, loading apps, whatever.

Also, it happens if I'm streaming audio as well - I use Scanner Radio Pro and Tune In Radio, same thing happens at random times, just a "skip" of the audio and silence for that 1/5th of a second.

I've noticed it on other ROMs as well (CM10.2, Carbon, doesn't matter) so I'm wondering just what the hell is causing it on this LGOG of mine 'cause no other device has done this little skipping thing in my experience.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:
entered in cwn , reflashed supersu , now i have root. how i acces my old files from sdcard? i can't see them.. i see only from recovery.

and... how i turn off the screen-off crt animation? it sucks big time.

And the last stupid thing... every time when i exit cwn... i have a dialogue

and i keep push yes. disable recovery flash.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
I've got an e970 with ART enabled. My camera is fine. Try force closing it and clearing the app's data.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Happy early birthday brother!! Thank you for your awesome contributions to this amazing device! Long live the OG! BTW, this ROM is awesome on this phone.

As for TiBu not working with ART, does anyone think it would be an issue to revert back to dalvik to do what you need to with TiBu, then go back to ART with no issue? Anyone tried yet?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
If u have patience to wait for ART to optimize apps because it takes forever lol, then it is not an issue
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cyberbandit1998:
I have tried it. I reinstalled all my apps under dalvik and flashed the PA odexed apps. Then changed to ART and everything works great. To me this works better than wiping and starting over. Apps are a lot quicker.

I have measured the starting time of about ten different apps and there was no noticeable difference. Even on the nexus 7.

ART is still WIP
[AT&T LG Optimus G] madphone:
I know. it's pretty impressive though, Google could replace dalvik and avoid using oracle code. But end users won't see so much improvement for the moment.

Gesendet von meinem LG Optimus G mit Tapatalk
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
May I ask what you used to measure these load times?

Also, try loading the app then exiting, then measure the time it takes to load the app again. Initial testing with real benchmarking software has show that it indeed increases the load times under these conditions.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] madphone:
I only measured with the clock :) but that's enough for me to say it's not noticeable. For example: asphalt 8 took 39 seconds until it was in main menu. Whether it's half second faster or not is no real difference for me.

Gesendet von meinem LG Optimus G mit Tapatalk
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I see....

Many of the differences may not be visually different, but in some cases they are. Most games will not see much of a difference, but using google functions will. Which should create a much smoother and snappier use of the phone, which I very much did notice. What you should also notice is cpu use is decreased. So while loading an app, it will reach idle state sooner.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
After you installed the app you tested, did you reboot before testing? You have to allow ART to optimize the programs first. I see a VERY noticeable difference.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
That's a good point.

Got a question for you [MENTION=3130300]Jank4AU[/MENTION]....

Are you using the latest odex gapps found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47274506&postcount=721

If you are, are you experiencing any of the issues I posted here?: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47293066&postcount=733

If you are not having those issues, may I ask which recovery you are using?

Thanks buddy! :highfive:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] seniga1:
Did anyone tried pushing whatsapp to /system/app then odexing it and enabling ART? Maybe it works that way
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I did that to Titanium Backup, did not work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] huffypuffy:
So I just flashed this, and am having issues lol

My phone seems to no longer be unlocked? I'm unable to reboot into recovery to install a different ROM. Nothing against this one, just not as fancy as the 4.3 version yet haha. Helps pleases.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
To get into recovery, power off your phone, then hold volume up and power when you turn it on.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I am not using that most current gapps... think I'm using a prior version, one you initially linked to. As for the issues, it's funny you mention that. Prior to reading your post the only major fc issues I found with ART were with Dropbox and MapMyRide (of course TiBu as we all know). Dropbox just errors out and MapMyRide says it can't run with out Maps Libraries. Then I rebooted after reading your post and then Google Search wouldn't stop FC'ing. This is probably after 3 reboots after initial install when Google worked flawlessly. Go figure. Once I get it back up and stable I will try giving Google some basic commands to test.

Edit: funny, on that last reboot it optimized about 135 apps. That's when I got the Google FC's. Just rebooted and now it's optimizing 205 apps. If it starts to behave again I'll let you know. Not sure why it must re-optimize each reboot unlike the dalvik run-time method which only optimizes new installs...

Yep, I know. I just want to try and get init.d support working on vanilla AOSP. All I should need is support in kernel, the /etc/bin/sysinit file and the /etc/init.d folder with my scripts, right? I tried adding the settings to the AOSP kernel, and I tried the PA kernel but neither method worked...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jmoss1972:
I've looked and looked but can't find the option to enable ART on the PA build, am I just a moron or is it not there.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
Select Runtime, under Developer Options.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Make sure you enable "Developer options" in Settings > About Phone > tap on "Build Number" 5-6 times and it will unlock. Go back to settings, then go to "Developer options." Find "Select runtime" and change it from "Use Dalvik" to "Use ART" and that should do it.

By the way. Is anyone getting a slight... Almost input lag, when typing? It seems like the keyboard hesitates as I type. It's actually constant and makes you mess up much more often than normal. I've had this randomly before and really don't know what causes it.

Otherwise with the couple of fixes posted, this thing is a beast! And the battery is very, very good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jmoss1972:
Thanks guys I'm a moron didn't see it there.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Hey davevinci. Definitely interested in trying this. So after you extracted rastacat, you went into "system" folder, then "framework", and pulled framework.jar and settings.jar? On the computer I can't seem to see logos, the one with the KitKat logo you're talking about, what's the name of that file and in which folder? And once you've pulled those, do you just extract this ROM's ZIP file, replace the .jar files, rezip and flash like normal?

Thanks!

P.S. we might be able to help get this working for more people!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
First off i did not repack it to a flashble zip, i just used aroma file manager in recovery to replace the filez.. I overwrite the /framework files in our stock aosp with the moded framework files.. Replaced also system ui apk whic is the one with the kitkat logo, also replaced settings and settingsprovider apks.. Thats all i did man.. If u really want to try it out then go.. Buy i would recommend just wait for the upcoming builds here as it will most likely have these sorts of customisation

Does anyone know why the icons do not match stock kitkat? For instance, the phone and the camera.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
I've always loved messing around. Thank you for the clarification, I got it working quite nicely! I love the reboot menu and especially the clear all button in the recents menu that has now appeared. Have you thought of any other ROMs to pull from? I might need to do some playing around now lol.

EDIT:

By the way, I don't know if anyone else is getting lag when typing on the stock Google keyboard, but I know I am. I tried to uninstall from /system/app and install it from the store, same result. I tried the 4.3 keyboard (an older version with the holo blue accenting), slight better but still laggy. THIS CM10 KEYBOARD from a while ago (my buddy sent it to me, suggested I try it) is the only one I've been able to get working smoothly. I'd say almost 100%, it isn't quite "perfect" like the typing experience on (most of) the 4.3 ROMs, but its barely noticeable. You should be able to install it as a standalone APK even beside the stock one that comes with it, just choose "Android Keyboard" as your active on in the input menu. ALSO, it has the punctuation and everything in the old spots (which I love). I don't know why they moved everything around on us lol. Hopefully it helps!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Because both ASOP and PA 4.4's are not stock kitkat. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hv6478:
Haha this.

Seems to me the camera icon is pretty damn close or the same. Phone icon is definitely the previous one. The new one does look kind of odd (see here) although it is more...vibrant...I suppose.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsufx:
AOSP* anyone know how to correct the icon? I love the ROM by the way. Thanks Dev.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
Disable SoftKeys

Just curious, I followed everything you stated, and I was wondering how one could go about disabling the soft keys, and maybe even enabling the backlights for hard keys.

On another note, does anyone know of a way to make this rom recognize my external sd
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shane9b3:
If you install this you will have the phone icon that matches and also have business search in the dialer app.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
Furthermore, if you flash the cwm-geeb-4-3-z20i-bootloader_only.zip file from this link:

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/misc/cwm-geeb-4-3-z20i-bootloader_only.zip

it will update your bootloader, which makes the options visible.

Did you try pushing this to the proper location in /system with same permissions ect? This may make it work without requiring both..... I'll try messing with it in a few

Yes I tried , but you loose all "call" actions, like answering and hanging up, if someone calls you nothing shows up on your screen the phone just rings.

At a functional level v3 is pretty damn good. There are a few things that come up like a few apps do not respond to a certain action(facebook and engadget for me) sometimes but I can still live with it. I used to get reboots every 2 or 3 days with carbonrom 4.3 but with this one, its none for over a week.

Most devs are waiting for the other factory images to be released to get updated binaries.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shane9b3:
Yes its in /system/priv-app/

I renamed the original to Dialer.apk.bak and pushed the new one in and set permissions and rebooted, then lost all answer and hangup screens. So I then just reverted my changes back and installed it as a normal app and all is good except I have 2 dialer apps, so I just use the new one.
