[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
There are no onscreen nav buttons; just the native capacitive ones on the LGOG are functional.

Some notes:

- with the V2 build NFC was something I could disable/enable by checkbox, and I did disable it almost immediately because within a minute of first installing that build I checked the battery usage and it was pulling 27%!!! However, in the V3 build the NFC is enabled and ghosted - it can't be disabled and it just chugs that battery for whatever reason so it needs to be addressed I suppose

- the ART thing is known so I'm not going to even bother enabling it at this point or else I'll find myself with 100+ FCs when I reboot; I'm sure that'll work itself out as time passes and more is learned about ART (the newer compiler that is set to replace Dalvik)

Aside from that everything seems to be working that I can test. I don't use Bluetooth much so someone else can report on that aspect, Wi-Fi connects fast and seems fine. Still can't get my damned LTE on T-Mobile but that's another thread or two all by itself and not related to this ROM at all. Screenshots are working fine (some below), no visual tearing noted with the newer kernel houstonn created, etc. Funny thing is that

If you want to add widgets, tap Menu from the Home screen and select it - there's no way to get to it from the apps menu anymore, must be a change in KitKat I suppose.

When you tap Menu from the Home screen you'll see Wallpapers/Widgets/Settings - Settings doesn't actually open the full settings menu, it opens the Search & Now card settings (I guess that's Google Now related stuff that I don't use). So to get to the actual settings, it's either Home then the Settings icon in the apps drawer, or pull down from the Notification bar and select the icon as usual.

That's all I've noted for this build so far... thanks again, houstonn. :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I was able to disable NFC. Some times on the first boot after flashing a new ROM on this device, you have to disable NFC and then reboot for the setting to stick. Also disable beam before disabling NFC.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
^^ This....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
I get all that, but it was never an option to disable it - ever since I installed V3 about 1.5 hours ago, the NFC/Android beam option has been ghosted and non-selectable. I figured "Ok, even though I can't select it I'll tap it anyway then reboot..." and still it shows checked, still it shows the NFC service running, and still it is chugging away that battery.

Will probably reflash here in a bit and check it out a second time and see what happens.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
NFC works fine for me (clean flashed v2 with NFC fix, dirty flashed v3).

My only issue is with Calendar. I uninstalled it and resintalled from the market, but when I open it, it prompts me to sign in, and then refuses to do so.

Edit: One other thing, BetterBatteryStats doesn't seem to want to work, it just gives me an error reading "The 'batteryinfo' service could not be accessed. If this error persists after a reboot please contact the dev and provide your ROM/Kernel versions". I googled around a bit, and it seems like a common thing with Kitkat.

Has anyone else encountered this, or, Has anyone Not gotten an error trying to run BBS?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
When you try to uncheck NFC, it looks like it's freezing up and doesn't do anything. It still shows checked but greyed out. Reboot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
For the calendar issue just select not now when it asks to sign in. You will have access to calendar but sync will now work. I believe certain sync files are missing.

As for apps like BBS, I'm sure many apps may not work for 4.4 yet. It's usually always like that for a few weeks after a major os upgrade as the app devs need to add support for them to work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] vpetkar:
In the gapps folder there seems to be two files, gapps-kk-4.4-20131031.zip	and pa_gapps-mini-4.4-20131101a-signed.zip. Should I flash both? Or which one specifically?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
houstonn recommends the pa_gapps iirc.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
How do I set my lockscreen wallpaper separate of my home screen. I can't find the option.

Edit: Also does this ROM support LTE or do I need to download a radio?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
If you want to fix calendar sync here is a link to the missing apk. All I did was download and install it and now my calendar syncs correctly.

Note I had uninstalled the system version of the calendar via titanium backup and installed the playstore version prior to doing this so I have no idea if this will work on the system calendar or not.

https://app.box.com/s/1hr2klg08fhruob7su9d
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
This ROM is a basic as it gets. So it probably does not have that feature.

As long as you have a LTE capable radio and the correct apns, LTE should work unless you have T-Mobile... Then its hit or miss. Regardless LTE should have nothing to do with the ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Confirmed works. Thanks buddy. :thumbup:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
Where can I download a radio that works with this ROM for the e970 that gives lte
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
If you're using AT&T or whatever the stock JB AT&T radio should (and does) still work fine. If you're using T-Mobile, as just noted above, it's hit or miss - there are a few people including myself that had and I repeat HAD LTE working with my/our T-Mobile service, for a short period of time, using the stock JB AT&T radio on the device just by adding the proper APN for T-Mobile (fast.t-mobile.com) and then for some unknown reason we can't figure out it just stops working after a random period of time.

So, again, if you're using T-Mobile, you may or may not get T-Mobile LTE working with any given radio (as long it supports LTE, that is), there's no way to know without trying I suppose. The stock JB AT&T radio on my LGOG picks up the T-Mobile LTE RAT but won't do anything with it anymore... :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] madphone:
yeah, works. is that another file than in the canadian fix or why does it work?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shane9b3:
It's the same file, but for some reason it doesn't flash right so I tried installing it manually and it worked, so I posted my steps.

Glad it worked for you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Look to see if swiftkey has been updated since the release of 4.4, if it has... see if it mentions anything about 4.4 in the update notes. Most likely though it just needs to be updated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bobdallama:
Probably right. I tried sticking with the stock keyboard as long as I could, but I finally gave in and installed it...Problems didn't show up until after that...

Also noticed a few times where I apparently rebooted over night. I wouldn't have known, except that I have trickster set to apply settings and then slap a notification on the bar, and lo and behold, there was one waiting for me when i woke up...

other than that, this thing is handling brilliantly. It's like I have a brand-new phone. pssh. who needs a nexus 5??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rockwig:
I just tried this, and did not have any issue. I did install Banks GoogleCamera_4.4 so that might help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Try Kii keyboard or Swype, both work perfectly on 4.4 for me and I think they are both superior to SwiftKey.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bobdallama:
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried them both in the past. Kii was nice, and it's been "literally" years since i last tried swype. Mostly I like swifkey for the cloud sync, and the number pad layout. I've use swiftkey for so long it can almost write my emails for me!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] el_venga:
I also use swype and no issues here. I did the nfc fix manually too.

Google keyboard is bad for gesture typing(compared to the others) but I really liked the new phrase gesture.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Then maybe I should try SwiftKey again! :beer::thumbup:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] seniga1:
Maybe this logcat can help a bit, i'm on a E987.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] mathsz:
for some odd reason, some phones do that.

on my e973, flashing the nfc fix kind of does not work (have to reboot twice before it "sets" in. On my wife's e971, works straight away. no reboot needed. :eek:

Can u please share. I've been missing my reboot
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
Share Please

I agree with the guy above. I really miss the reboot, in it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I'm bouncing back and forth between kii, SwiftKey beta and touchpal x right now. They all have some pros and cons for me. The new SwiftKey is much improved from, say, 6 months or so ago. I still think kii might have a slight edge though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weebsurfer:
I've seen this happen a lot when using certain chargers? Were you plugged in at the time? Also happens if you get to close to a plasma light.... I really don't recommend that. ;)

But anyways, SwiftKey is working great for me. Hard to go back to a Google keyboard.

How do the quick settings buttons behave? Does holding a button open settings or activate/deactivate. Where does one acquire such magic?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geoworld_200:
Both the mirror and the original zip are showing as "bad" zips when trying to install. I tried the method of replacing the .so files and stuffs and got my camera focus working. Then after a reboot, its not working again. then I repeated the same steps but can't get the focus to work again. Anyone knows of a way to fix?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] guoloong:
When I tested with E975, it seems like focus only works when I launch the camera for the first time right after a reboot. After you exit the camera app and reenter, focus does not work another more. Any one else facing this issue?

Edit: Same with focal.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nite.Achilles:
Yup same here
[AT&T LG Optimus G] siulmagic:
hey there houston , im sure you know this , but i managed to get this working on the sprint lgog , nothing mayor had to be done, just changed the storage-list.xml,eri.xml, the apns xml, and added a few missing lines from our build.prop, 3g and lte works, so does BT and wifi. one thing i cant get to work is the google play services, no matter what i do i cant log in my google account. so no playstore. im sure shellnut has a build alredy, but i just whanted to let you know.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Anthony1117:
Did the transparent flash and everything worked fine. But does anybody know of a way to do it just for the transparent. I do not really want the lock screen rotate.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geoworld_200:
Yes exactly the same issue. Hope someone can come up with a fix

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Anthony1117:
Thank you. I've never done any of the code stuff like that so I have no idea what to do.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Are you using BaNKs Gapps? If you are, the latest version (11/5 I believe) has removed "Google Play Services". Some users were getting auto-updates for google play services so he removed it, but apparently some of us are not getting auto-updates for it. So flashing that will prevent some rom/devices from connecting to google servers.

May have something to do with some ROM/devices requiring networklocation.apk and some not needing it.

Not sure if that is the issue you are having.

EDIT: banks just added "google play services" back to gapps, 11/6 standard version. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ancifil:
Seem's there is no chance to get on current version working celular and camera for my 970. Does someone have news about new versions?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
Try 4.3 camera. When CM10 users had the never ending focus issues, the 4.3 camera was the fix, the link I'm providing was the landmark.

As far as I recall, backup your gallery.apk with TiBu, delete it, and install the one provided. Cant remember if you must throw it in system/app then onstall, but try. Don't delete your camera, its all with the gallery.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
The only complicated part is "installing" apktool, this thread explains it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1760133
[AT&T LG Optimus G] guoloong:
Tried the 4.3 camera. It give the same behaviour. Able to focus right after a reboot but after exiting and reentering, camera runs is unable to focus issues again.

My guess is the issue does not lie with the APK. Maybe something is broken in the framework or native libs.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
Yes the behavior is reverted. Tap to activate.. long press settings... Sweep notif and qs.. Etc. ...Use framework of 4.4 ROMs in the N4 threads just replaced /framework, SystemUI etc... Read the changelogs so u know changes and files u need.. A bit dirty technique

Really?! (Sarcasm) Thats were it was derived from...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dapaua:
The lock screen unlocks when pressing the menu capacitive button (At least on a E975 with no lockscreen security)

Is this a bug or a feature? Can it be disabled?

Thanks houstonn and all the helping people here.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geoworld_200:
And one more thing I noticed is that the lockscreen here looks like the one we had on 4.3 and not like the ones I saw running on nexus 5. Anyone knows why?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] steffenbakke:
Because of the non transparent status bar on the lock screen properly. That was what I saw different... Fixed by a mod from the thread though
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Main Target:
steffenbakke how do you get that?

Edit: oh it looks like that exists if you have onscreen navigation
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Which N4 ROM did you pull that from?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] siulmagic:
ah that explains alot. i knew something was missing.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Did you need to edit anything else? Which files do I need specifically?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Firreath:
What exactly did you pull from it? I've ported the ROM, its just the houstonn's is more stable.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] leomanmfk:
use the TWRP recovery to flash the rom. That help me with the cellular signal problem

I don't have any screen shots, but screen on time should be 4-5 hours. It may be possible to go a little passed 5 hours with some tinkering.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adeelraj:
Whats ur screen time

..♥♥ Sent From My A850K♥♥..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
4 hours and 50 minutes was from the one time I've gone from 100% to 2%

Since then I have been flashing like crazy and have not done a full cycle.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Yeah, I confirmed it's a problem with Banks Gapps 11-6 standard. Dirty flashing the non-PA package houstonn has upped fixed it. I like Banks because it automagically replaces Launcher3 with GEL

Does anyone have the 11-3 Banks standard gapps package? I deleted mine by accident and it was working well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:

anyone tried ART with this? What happens? Nuclear war?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
New Google apps probably won't have issues, but many apps need to be redesigned to use art. If you turn it on you will find out real quick which apps won't work.... It will be a fc meltdown. Even xposed framework needs to be redesigned as it uses dalvik to function. So it will be awhile until we can get xposed for 4.4 with art
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shane9b3:
I have read in the N4 thread that your ROM needs to be Odexed for ART to work, someone over there has done it and says his phone is running really smooth, only a couple of FC's.

Try it at your own risk , and be ready to reflash.

EDIT: here is a link to the N5 port to the N4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47006165 it says in the OP that WhatApp doesn't work in ART, but they have it running
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Interesting, I was under the impression that apps need to be updated for ART.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shane9b3:
Judging by WhatsApp (not working with ART) I would say that there are a lot that do need updating to work.

Was there a fix for the compass not working? The thread is getting a little large :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] seniga1:
Compass is working, for GPS issues you need to push NetworkLocation.apk to system/app, reboot, wipe dalvik and re-flashing radio also helps.

I have to reinstall Google Keyboard everytime i reboot my phone, is there any workaround or fix for that?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] guoloong:
Are you suggesting it is a flash problem? Or are you suggesting focus issue is there because the binaries are derived from N4? Serious question
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Xposed does not work in 4.4

quoted from the Xposed developer, "Android 4.4 changed several things and it's therefore not compatible with Xposed yet. I need to run it on my own device (I9100 using CyanogenMod) to adjust Xposed for it."
[AT&T LG Optimus G] seniga1:
It does work, you can try "Tinted Status Bar (BETA)" module, i'm using it...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
As explained by the Xposed developer.... just by installing the framework you create a ton on instability within the system. He is having to pretty much rebuild the whole thing, not just correct a few lines of code.

Go ahead and use it..... just be aware that it's pointless to post about any problems you are having here if you have the framework installed. You installed something that has the potential to screw a bunch of things up.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davevinci:
Just had my first SOD with rom! No undervolt just stock settings :( i left it for 7 hrs..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
Im not a dev or anything but im positive its not a flashing issue. This happened before as I said when people would flash CM10.1 or anything not stock. At the time 4.3 was being released and the 4.3 camera fixed it. BUT 4.3 cam at the time only reached 8MP so for the Sprint Optimus G it was a bit annoying, but it fixed the issue. Ive noticed LGs phones are very versitile, heck I once threw the stock E970 software on my LS970 accidentally and it worked 100% similar, but the cam on your phones are 8mp so the camera would crash all the time. That alone is a hint that the cam is a huge case. Im sure if i wanted to i could work the scripts on this rom and install it on my LS970(yeah right), but ones GSM and ones CDMA so im defanite i wont have my service.

Anyways, my best solution would be testing the camera or gallery apps from other devices and see if theres a fix. Try camera fixes from multiple roms and hope for a good outcome until an official fix is made.

EDIT: As of today we have the Sprint port from this rom, but it seems theres a heavier load of issues on that side than here. We have artifacts, and it seems all we can get is the front cam to work, remember, ours is 13mp. I was willing to experiment for the sake of both this original and our port, but the no rear cam is a huge stump in my path. Besides that theres a nice barely visible line running along the screen. Woohoo. Everything else seems to work fine, but we have a bit of ghost touch just as I think someone here mentioned. You touch somewhere while browsing the web and it will zoom in. So its going to be a long one to solve.
