Wow im disappointed..
[G2 General] Dri94:
If your not on the latest firmware already then don't think it's going to be kk.
[G2 General] vPro97:
Well, I think you got into my posts at a wrong time. Zulake posted a link for 10f, and that's what I wanted. Not expecting KK anytime soon :) Thanks for clarifying though, bro.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Nope. Probably G2 Pro, which is due soon after MWC, will get Flex ROM features like split screen. But G2 on kitkat so far is no different from fresh G2 with 4.2.2

Battery Drain fast

How long should the Device work?

I mean the battery life

Because my battery is drain fast as soon as i flash a rom with a custom kernel

On the Stock rom (with stock kernel)

My battery life time is by 1,5 Days

On CM 11 or 10,2 or any other AOSP Rom my battery life time is under 1 Day

Can pls help me and tell why this happen?
[G2 General] Fraxon:
I think you answered your own question. Wait for stock update.
[G2 General] kolembo:
I just received 10c. For some reason I don't think it's sequential
[G2 General] C0nvert:
Yea i know but many other people use Custom roms and have an on screnn time of over 7h

But i don't

my battery drain to fast
[G2 General] gm007:

[G2 General] citytrader:
Come on why so low 7h? my G2 have a screen time of 3 days, I even use my phone as pedestal table on the night, can you believe this?... of course I'm using a custom ROM with kustom kernel. :laugh:
[G2 General] Kiwi_Dude:
Screen time of 3 days?! Do you use a car battery to power your phone? Is it built into the case? Man you must have big arms! And your phone becomes a pedestal table at night?! Now that's some serious multitasking! Where can I get that app from?!

Thanks buddy, you made my day!

[G2 General] mak213:
SAME im running stock rom but i rooted it when i restarted to install it booted to TWRP and broke my phone it just booted to twrp it wont boot to system anymore made a thread about it in general dont know whats going on or how to fix it im on stock...i wiped and restored my nandroid from yesterday still boots to twrp dont how to fix it...

Tmobile G2 D801
[G2 General] RiverdALIEN:
yikes. im on stock rooted with twrp recovery as well. guess i won't be installing this until i do some more research
[G2 General] RiverdALIEN:
didn't install it, just started charging my phone. but from what the other guy just said i'm not gonna install it yet
[G2 General] Sckank:
You have to get it back to stock recovery. Flash the stock stuff and you're good.
[G2 General] mak213:
heres the FIX it easier than redoing ur phone to stock just go to terminal command in twrp and type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

EDIT: enjoy dont do the update also i wonder which OTA it is ?
[G2 General] RiverdALIEN:
that's what i'm trying to figure out.

does anyone know where OTA update files are downloaded to? maybe if i could see the filename it would tell me something
[G2 General] akrapovic600:
Can just follow what [MENTION=463283]mak213[/MENTION] posted then restart the phone and back to normal. Same thing happen to me recently after that update, same trick and reboots back to normal but the update is still pending.

And so, i connect to the LG Updater, flash my TWRP recovery back to stock. Nothing is lost by the way. And before that i was actually on a unrooted G2 and flash with TWRP..
[G2 General] mak213:
let me know what the update does till now no one knows what this new OTA is
[G2 General] marfillaster:
Not kitkat given the update size. Im just guessing.
[G2 General] akrapovic600:
Seriously speaking, dont really notice any visible changes... :laugh:

Nah, not kit kat..

Might be some updates before they OTA the real kit kat..
[G2 General] RiverdALIEN:
t-mobile support forum of course says nothing about it... it's silly that they think they can just push something out, call it an update, and not explain what it does
[G2 General] GaYoung28:
I have Stock rooted LG G2 with no custom recovery... can i update my phone safely if my phone get OTA?

how to check recovery version

How do we check the installed recovery name and version? Does software version page give any clue about it? is the only way going to the recovery?
[G2 General] Drift240:
I can't think of any way other than booting into recovery
[G2 General] nevzat74:
So, how do we enter recovery? I tried Volume Up, Down and Power key combinations at the startup, all I could enter was Download mode. I also tried with Rom Toolbox Pro, it has a Reboot to Recovery function, however when proceeding en error icon is showed at the boot screen. I'm confused

[G2 General] MidnightHarvester:
I have one insider that might have some info. Let me PM on other board and see what's up. Been away from the forums here since the beginning of December when I broke my display by dropping it on asphalt :/... Had spent all my money as well on son's birthday and Christmas gifts so relayed me in getting my replacement.

Just need to find someone with a PC I can borrow (with Admin access) so i root and flash TWRP and restore my backup from the older phone. Irriitating when you don't have a PC at home. The lab where I went to University at let's me log in as Admin, but they are also running versions of Windows that have me pulling my hair trying to get my G2 to connect to. The one I used last time to root was a computer at work, but since then I have found other employment (doing dev work from home...load is light in case anyone working on any apps need any troubleshooting, testing, coding, etc..PM me).

Running stock 4.2.2 isn't as bad as I remebered, but much prefer the hybrid 4.2.2 / 4.4 build I have backed up. In was worried at first that LG lost all incentive to worry about any timely update after shelfing mobile device development. After seeing the Flex, and the fact that the mobile team hasn't been cut down in size (AFAIK) is reassuring.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

OTAs are stored in the /cache/fota folder. In order to boot back into Android, this fota mount needs to be cleared, as well as anything in the misc mount. When looking in /dev/block/.../by-name/, we can find symlinks to the file representing each of these mounts. When the 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/.../by-name/{fota | misc}' command is the same as opening Root Explorer and navigating to these folders manually and deleting them (for example, the fota folder will be in /cache/fota). Using the 'dd' command, our input file is /dev/zero which is just erases the output file. So either method accomplishes the same.

Both the fota and misc mounts need to be erased in order for the boot process to recognize that there is no OTA on your phone ready to flash, and instead of booting into recovery like it has been doing, the phone will boot back into Android.

That's the long explanation. I'm sure the question will come up again by somebody else,...

[G2 General] darz23:
KitKat OTA

Other said that if you root your G2 and used the original stock rom and recovery, you can have an OTA with no Problem, is that TRUE?

how about you ROOT your G2, and you used stock rom and recovery but you installed Xposed to change your notification bar, can you still receive OTA update without a problem?
[G2 General] Zulake:
Stock ROM and stock recovery with root is no problem.

Stock ROM and stock recovery BUT with MODIFIED system files such as Xposed stuff = NO OTA. Because you modified system files.

Stock ROM and custom recovery = NO OTA because it will bootloop due to a missing stock recovery.
[G2 General] therethere:
i really hope the international kitkat for LG2 comes before end of January.
[G2 General] :
How about deinstalling Xposed and then get OTA?
[G2 General] Zulake:
Not sure if that would work. I never worked with that stuff.

I would say your best bet is flashing a stock kdz, but that's because I don't know another way. I don't like Xposed, so I never toyed around with it.

[G2 General] jose_k:
I don't understand this problem...we have Cyanogenmod 11 with Kitkat and root so why LG shouldn't release an official update for model 802?

This is a problem that concerns only the Korean KitKat stock version with root but I think it's different with LG G2 802.

As I said we already have a mod rom with root and kitkat. Thank you.
[G2 General] sanke1:
I am a bit disappointed that it's going to take 2-3 months further for LG to release 4.4 for D802 International. Hopefully the official CM builds would be stable enough and stop spontaneously rebooting by the end of Jan 2014.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
I'd rather have a bit delayed, stable and thoroughly tested build than an unfinished product just for the sake of being first out. Go look at Samsung's debacle with the too early release of 4.3 for the S3, people were livid.

[G2 General] wargreymon89:
S4+ has KitKat? As far as I know only some HTC One have KitKat and a Samsung leaking a rom to the public doesnt make LG worst.
[G2 General] jose_k:
I have another noob question, I am sorry but I don't understand why is not possible nowadays to use the kikat of the lg g2 korean version on the D802 international version.

For example is not possible that Cyanogenmod could use the code of kitkat of the korean version to make a port of it ?

Because already exist a port of android 4.2.2 of the korean version so what is the problem ? Thank you !

[G2 General] jose_k:
I know that there are enough Cyanogenmod based KitKat ROMs for the D802 but no one of theme works fine without problems.

In fact my question is to undrestand how is this possible ?

LG G2 Korean version already has KitKat original so is it so hard to make a port of it that works ??

I mean a port of the original korean version of KitKat as long as LG will not release a verion of KitaKat for the D802.

And this question I think it is releated to the original LG KitKart...

Personally like many of you, ART and a better camera app is the only thing really that I'm looking for. I used to have CFD... had an atrix 2 and a htc amaze 4g before this... and they needed to be flashed... and often.

But with this stock rom, and with some tweaks from xposed, I have a kitkat statusbar theme, and nav/status bar changes colors with apps like PA. I couldn't really ask for much more. I got bored really just once, then I switched to GE launcher and I immediately missed all the things on the stock launcher.

LG done good, but like I said, better camera software would be a dream. ART would be amazing with the specs on this phone as well. What will be a nightmare though is going back to stock completely or going back to default settings with xposed -_-
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Guys, stick to the topic, which is LG's official upgrade to 4.4.
[G2 General] jose_k:
ART at the moment it isn't so awesome to have on KitKat because still now a lot of apps doesn't work correctly if you have it installed.

In the future it will be the new standard for android instead of Dalvik and for sure it will bring advantages in performance and in a less battery consumption for our phone.

However it is not so important to get it right now unless the developers don't solve many problems that have the apps.

I agree with you about a better camera app because it is true that you can find a better application in the store but LG can do more to improve their original app for the camera.
[G2 General] knitler:
