[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimejosh2000:
What I am seeing is the MAC address is getting changed every reboot. I have verified this. This may be causing other issues as well with Wifi related modules.

I wonder if this would work?

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2347060

For mac address:

- In /persist directory create wifi directory. In the new directory create a file named .macaddr (don't miss the dot!)

Edit the file and put 12 random hex numbers in it (0-9, A-F), save.

- Set execute and read permissions for everybody on /persist/wifi directory and change owner of .macaddr to wifi:wifi and permission to 660 (read/write for owner and group and nothing else).

In command line:

Code:

chown root:root /persist/wifi

chmod 755 /persist/wifi

chown wifi:wifi /persist/wifi/.macaddr

chmod 660 /persist/wifi/.macaddr

- run /system/bin/conn_init program. Can be run in root explorer(choose Linux Script Handler when you open it), or in adb shell:

Code:

su

/system/bin/conn_init

Then reboot and check if the changes got applied in settings

I cant get my original one back but at least I have a static MAC.

It is D800 AT&T. I remember Nexus 4 having a similar issue. The link I posted was a fix for that. I doubt I will get my Origional MAC back, but I did backup my EFS. So, once a fix is in place, I should be able to restore.

Oh, Thank Goodness for Reserved MAC address in my router, I was able to get my old MAC from there. So, if need be, I can change it back.

D800 mute not functioning?

Hi, thanks to everyone involved in developing this custom ROM. It generally works really well.

I wondered if someone that has an AT&T G2 and has the ROM installed could verify whether the phone mute works?

It currently highlights and acts as if it works, but doesn't actually mute the microphone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I'm not sure I understand. Did your 11/29 ROM have something in the title about NFC? Or did you just mean ROM? I believe until Houston gets the NFC thing resolved for your variant it may just be totally disabled. I'll check with him for you.

Edit: yes, it's totally disabled right now

Hey folks

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the following problem. I'm on D802 and have flashed the proper ROM and gapps and all seems to be fine except I activate either the battery bar and percentage or the battery circle and percentage from the battery settings and when my phone reaches 100% the percentage number disappears and I can't seem to toggle it back. Also my phone has stayed at 100% for a freakishly long time.

Otherwise a great ROM!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Normal. It doesn't display 100%, just the full circle. When it dips to 99% the # will reappear.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbaggs:

Really? I've been sitting using the phone for 40mins with the screen on and it hasn't dipped to 99%? Surely not :eek:

Also actually i just noticed something else. When I reboot my phone, the time displays 0100 and the date January 1. It does revert back to the normal time and date quite quickly but any idea why this might be happening?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nezil:
I have searched both this Q&A thread, as well as the development thread for answers to the question, so I hope I don't aggravate anyone by asking.

I have a d801 G2, and am currently running the latest 05/01 build, but have not updated the rpm and tz partitions. I have found the battery life to be spectacular, but still have a couple of issues:

Caller Echo

Random Reboots

I'm hopeful that these will be improved in future builds, and am patiently waiting for that. I am wondering if perhaps the reboots are related to the rpm and tz partitions being wrong, and I'd like to fix this if at all possible.

I have seen on the two G2 AOSPA threads that several people have requested flashable zips for the d801, but only zips for the d800, d803 and vs908 models have been posted.

As I have a d801, I'd be happy to create flashable zips for these partitions, but at this point I'm not even sure how to update them, let alone create a flashable zip!

I know that we need to have the rpm and tz partitions from the stock KitKat build, but my understanding is that if I revert to a stock 4.4.2 build, I won't be able to root it anyway. My G2 never had a stock KitKat build on it, because I rooted from the earlier stock firmware about an hour after opening the box, and have not gone back to stock since.

I'm happy to put the time into it if someone could talk me through the process of updating the rpm / tz partitions, and then creating a flashable zip to share with the community. I'm not looking for complete hand holding, but something along the lines of:

Revert to stock Jelly Bean ROM

Root and install custom recovery with [some tool]

Update [somehow] to Stock KitKat ROM

Use [some tool to] create flashable zip for rpm / tz partitions

Wipe everything in recovery

Flash rpm / tz

Flash stock baseband

Flash AOSPA ROM

Flash GApps

Wipe Cache / Dalvik

Reboot

This list is probably not accurate, but that's the sort of level of help that I'm looking for, perhaps with some links to more details for each stage.

Ideally, I'd like at the end of it all, to be back to where I am now, with TWRP 2.7, AOSPA 5/1, but with up to date rpm / tz.

[MENTION=5623702]KarlDag[/MENTION], Thanks very much for the pointers. I've now gone through the entire process, which for my phone (D801) was far more complex, because it involves downgrading to JellyBean, rooting, updating and installing SuperSU at the same time, followed by a flashable zip of the KitKat Stock ROM.

The full process that I followed was as follows. This is actually what I was looking for, but [MENTION=5623702]KarlDag[/MENTION] gave me enough information for me to work it out for myself; thanks again!

Downgrade the phone to the Stock Jelly Bean image using a customised version of the LG Tools - Details here

Root the Jelly Bean image using ioroot

Install TWRP v2.6.3.3 Recovery - Details here

Reboot into TWRP v2.6.3.3 Recovery

Update to TWRP v2.7.0.0 Recovery using the flashable zip file

Reboot into TWRP v2.7.0.0 Recovery

Flash the KitKat Stock Image to the Phone - Details here

Perform a full wipe in the ‘Advanced Wipe’ section (DO NOT REBOOT)

Push D80120a KitKat Stock Image flashable zip to the phone using ADB push

Push SuperSU flashable zip to the phone using ADB push

Install D80120a KitKat Stock Image flashable zip

Install SuperSU flashable zip

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Restart the phone - You will now be at rooted KitKat with the Stock LG Image

Install AutoRec apk using ADB - Details here

Run AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 (This was wiped when the Stock KitKat image was installed)

Boot into TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery

Install Paranoid Android ROM and GApps

Perform a full wipe in the ‘Advanced Wipe’ section (DO NOT REBOOT)

Push the latest Paranoid Android flashable zip to the phone using ADB

Push the latest Google Apps for Paranoid Android flashable zip to the phone using ADB

Install Paranoid Android flashable zip

Install Google Apps flashable zip

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Restart the phone

If someone can give me some pointers on creating a flashable zip for the rpm / tz partitions, I'd be happy to do that and share it with the community. This seems especially important for the D801 as the Stock LG KitKat ROM is not yet rootable, and the process for updating the partitions in this way is more complex and painful than it needs to be.

Am getting exceptional battery life with this rom on stock kernel
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlDag:
Please explain to me why you went through all this trouble when you could have done add o said? Why root under jelly bean and manually flash KitKat and then needing to reroot? couldn't you update via ota?

Anyways, obviously glad you got it working, just curious why you went through more steps then I think were required, I must be missing something obvious.

EDIT reread what I wrote, and I guess when I said to go back to stock I wasn't too clear... I, too, meant to downgrade to jelly bean with the LG Tools... Then upgrade OTA and autorec to do both root and recovery... Oh well, again glad it worked out in the end.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nezil:
My understanding, was that the OTA will remove root as well as TWRP recovery. IOROOT does not work on the D801 with a KitKat ROM, and Autorec requires root privileges.

IOROOT does work on every single other version of the G2, but not the D801, hence the lengthy work around. The critical point is to add SuperSU immediately after flashing the KitKat flashable image, before booting.

I didn't think that Autorec was able to root a phone, I thought it was just for adding the recovery after the phone was already rooted.

Perhaps I was confused...

Hi

Just wondering...the other day i was checking the http://houston.hostingsharedbox.com/roms/g2/d802/ link where houstonss builds are maintained and i couldnt help noticing the low 'count' of downloads for D802...Its just 1700 odd....This means the latest build has been downloaded a total of 1700 times which indirectly means there are roughly 1700 ppl using the latest Build on their LG g2 d802 ... isnt this number too low ?..just wondering..or maybe it doesnt reflect the count of downloads by OTA app ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roseysdaddy:
Looks to me like that 1700+ number is far and away greater than any other variant in terms of total downloads.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmstadtium:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roseysdaddy:
I know four people with the g2 and exactly one of them (me) gives a **** about custom ROMs, but I REALLY care so sometimes it's hard to see how people can not be as excited about this stuff as I am. I'd also be willing to bet that this 1700+ number is in the top 3 for custom ROM downloads for this phone, probably 2nd behind CM11 which I think really shows just how popular it is among people that care about this sort of thing. Also, 1700+ is astronomical compared to my d800 version, and downloads I've seen for things like the Kindle Fire HD, d2lte, captivate, at least from what I've noticed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I thought I read on G+ that one of their maintainers said the counters weren't working all the time and weren't getting all the downloads.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roseysdaddy:
That sounds highly plausible.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bps119:
As a comparison, the 802 has 286 downloads of SlimKAT's current build, which is essentially the current RC for the firmware although it's not labeled as such. Their highest number of downloads came with their last stable build released at the end of March and had 4348 downloads.

Hello yet again. I posted this a little while back, but never heard anything so I am guessing it was missed...

My D801 is having the wonderful white lines issue when I try any build newer than 4/3

So I believe my rpm/tz is up to date, but still have the issues. I saw Cloudys post about the kernel though, but it is only for stock KK ROMS and that we need a code change in our kernel for it to work.

My question is can this be done? It looks like an easy fix, being that it changes to "mdss_mdp.panel=1:dsi:0:qcom,mdss_dsi_g2_jdi_cmd" instead of "mdss_mdp.panel=1:dsi:0:qcom,mdss_dsi_g2_lgd_cmd".

If it cant be done, can any one link me on how to do it myself? Im willing to try and change the kernel myself.

I really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have the LG tones+ 730 bluetooth headset and it isn't completely working with the 5/15 build. On phone calls, it can make them, but no sound comes through the headset.
