Is anyone else not able to install the new 4.4.2 for the geeb?

I'v tried about 5 times now and I've done the reboot trick all times. I'm coming from 4.4 Carbon and did full wipes and even tried reflashing the recovery too. Weird? :confused:

It starts the rom flash and fails pretty immediately. I'll have to post back with error. Sorry.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Androidawg:
Flashed to psx 4.4.2. So far so good. Will do some more testing but I did notice my notification area started acting a little won't. I cleared the notifications and it hasn't come back yet. Would like some info on how you guys configure to maximize battery.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
EDIT: failed to read you whole post

Should flash if you do everything stated below.

Use the TWRP in OP, flash rom.... when it fails, reboot recovery, no not install supersu when it asks. Once recovery reboots flash rom again and it should flash.

If not.... I don't know, I've flashed it several times today for geeb :/

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Don't know what you mean regarding the notifications.... if you get it again give me a screenshot.

I was actually planning on posting everything I do to maximize battery. I'll post it tonight or tomorrow.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] WESTdad:
I don't know either? I will give it another go but if it fails again I'll have to wait for another build I guess. I've been a flashohalic since my Backflip so I'm not necessarily a novice but I'm definitely not an expert so who knows what happened! Lol! Thank you for all your hard work it is much appreciated.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Try flashing this kitkat geeb bootloader by Houstonn:

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/kitkat/geeb/misc

For anyone else... if you are not using geeb... DO NOT FLASH what I just linked.

EDIT: actually you probably can flash it as BrickedHouse flashed it on geespr with no issues.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
[MENTION=4385434]MiZrY[/MENTION] is there anyway to boost the in-call volume as well as regular media volume? I put it in full and still have hard time hearing (I'm not going deaf either, lol).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BrickedHouse:
just for the record, i had flashed this last week i think, and it does work on geespr
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Yeah, faux speaker app will for sure boost the speaker. Faux headphone app will boost headphones.

I think though with trickster mod you can tweak the sound settings, and it's free (I think). I have not used that setting though as I use faux app for sound control.

That's good to know... :highfive: I just didn't want anyone to flash it and mess up their phone as I was not sure.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
Just did a clean install of 4.4.2 in Optimus G E975 (GEEHRC) and so far so good, and to say about battery, after flashing 4.4.2 i was with 4.4 PSX and 14 or 15 hours with 3 hours of screen time, it's good, not amazing, but didn't have a problem all those days.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Sometime tomorrow I'll post a guide on how I squeeze as much battery life as I can with any ROM I use. I'm obsessed with battery stats, always have been. So it should be a decent guide :p

Also, to anyone interested.... I got Carbon 4.4.2 up and running on geeb.... will build for geespr/geehrc and should have everything posted by tomorrow.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
It's just pulled from the N4, so yeah it works on GEEHRC/GEEB/GEESPR and of course MAKO.

ABOOT and the SBLs aren't particularly dangerous to flash, but do not flash TZ or RPM. Those will brick you if you are not careful and do not have the right combinations.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
Great, although i'm good so far, it'll be great to have some tips to squeeze it as much you can.

And about 4.4, i'm loving it, except for icons too big, didn't want to use other launcher, and some times where the transitions just don't hapen and the app just pop right at it, or when the keyboard it's gonna hide but it doesn't show a transition/animation it just closes or opens very very uggly, i really really like 4.4 and ROM is running smooth.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Oooooooh, Illusion ROM? Sweeeeeeet. 4.4.2?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] geokilla:
Are there major differences between geeb and geehrc aside from the camera? I remember back in the days with my Captivate, all I had to do was flash a I9000 ROM, and then flash a Captivate kernel.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Not really. Geeb also has sd support.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DrunkenDragon:

How's the New Version? Better than CM? How's the battery life? Any bigger bugs yet?:(

[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
We haven't updated to 4.4.2 yet, but I'll work on it. On illusion ROM, I will take requests as far as features because I'm on the team. The only thing not working right now is lights. Not sure why but the library doesn't build. I'll work on it later today.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] danielgava:
That is a great new! What about somebody try to port it to all devices?

Enviado de meu LG-E975 usando Tapatalk
[Sprint LG Optimus G] davevinci:
It's fake
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
Well we'll see if its true...and why would they release way over there and not here in america??
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Androidawg:
On PSX 4.4.2. When the phone goes to sleep, and I wake it up, it takes about a minute for the data connection to start. It shows 3 bars (with no 3G or LTE logo) and there is no data. If I leave it alone for about a minute then the 3G connection will come back. Not a huge issue, but I worry that I'm missing notifications while the phone is asleep. I have not made any APN changes.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TheGripper:
Yeah, it turned out to be false news. Seems that LG Estonia really believe it's 4.4. But they deleted a picture already from their facebook page and apologized. You can read all about it from the international version thread.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
That's odd. Do you have any apps that mess with enabling/disabling the network? Also check to see if there is anything in the apn that might be missing. Also.... you didn't dirty flash did ya? :p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Androidawg:
I don't run any apps that disable/kill things (not since ICS was released). And I no, I learned to never dirty flash back in my G1 days. I reinstall everything from scratch and fully wipe 3 to 5 times every time I flash. I'll replace the APN. I have one that I can try.

Edit: I loaded a new APN file and get the same reaction when waking the phone. Perhaps RIL's?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Yeah possibly. I have geeb and am not having that issue. So it's not an easy answer I can give you :/

Carbon 4.4.2 12/12/2013

GEEB

GEESPR

GEEHRC

Flash clean

Use gapps 4.4.2, link in op

Also flash banks 4.4.2 calender/browser addons if you want those apps to sync

Don't remember if it has supersu built in or not, either way I flashed it and all is good.

geeb will probably need the NFC fix zip in OP

Remember.... Carbon 4.4.x still isn't officially released so some things may be missing, but looks like more was added since my last build.

I'll update OP with new links to PSX/Carbon eventually.... feeling lazy atm... need coffee
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
You're a goddamn beast, man. Just when I settled on CM11, you throw out more new hotness for us to play with. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DrunkenDragon:
Yeah!! That guy is unbelievable :highfive:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I have a good mentor... *cough* [MENTION=4003363]xboxfanj[/MENTION]

The more ROMs I do, the better I get... so yeah :p

PSX/Carbon are easy to build now that everything is setup and no issues. Just have to sync with repos and build now.

There's still a couple thing's I'm working on with PSX (I believe they work on carbon) to get working correctly, like adding exfat sdcard support and getting the hardware key lights to turn off after a few seconds and turning back on with screen touch instead of staying on until display off. Think I figured that out though.

I still have VanirROM sources, just waiting for them to get everything working. May try another ROM as well soon. Purity perhaps, or maybe CM11 or another CM based ROM with the sources I'm using. Seems a few people are having issues getting any CM based ROM working with chads kernel, so I may give it a shot to help out.

For the time being though, I may take a break from building a different ROM for a few days and work on kernels.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Androidawg:
Some further testing. I started a download and set the phone down. The screen went off and I waited another minute. Picked the phone up to see if the connection dropped and the download failed. It didn't. The download was still running and 3G was still connected when I picked the phone back up. I also tried this with Google Music. I started some music that I have on uploaded to my play music cloud library (not stored locally on the phone) and let it play for over an hour with no interruptions.

So it seems that Deep Sleep is shutting down the radios. But not when the radios are in use.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MaRkuS_538:
PLEASE DO NO CM BUILD!!!

I will flash psx in one hour:)

When you say flash calendar/browser sync, does that mean for what comes with the carbon rom? I use google calendar and chrome.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
If you're looking for a new rom to build, you can try CFXE. Not sure if they have synced their repos or done any updates to 4.4.2.

No CM roms, there's already official build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
Try having a friend text/call you when you know the phone is in deep sleep.

If you try to use calender and it does not sync with your gmail account, then you will need to flash those banks gapps addons.

haha I'm keeping a close eye on CFXE, I'm sure xboxfanj and/or myself will be all over that once it's ready. CFXE is always usually ahead of the curve regarding performance and the latest greatest build tools.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] davevinci:
How about the lights turn on only when touching capacitive buttons and not by screen touch? I always keep mine at the lowest (1s) timeout(for battery :p) and it's kind of distracting every time I touch the screen it lights up and goes out again.. with that set up u can have a 5s timeout and it won't light until you need them to and more battery savings although minimal... that is if it's possible: )
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
It's kinda tricky as when I started off trying to mess with it I had no idea what I was doing. However, I have figured out that with PSX they don't build for any phones that have capacitive buttons, so there is absolutely no code in PSX regarding that. So I had to add code to make the lights work. What I have been doing is looking into Carbon code to see what they have to make the lights timeout after a few seconds/turn on with touch. I'm pretty sure I've figured it out.... have not built and tested it yet though. Once I can get it working on PSX the way it works with carbon, then I can probably do something like you mentioned..... maybe lol

Carbon has a settings option to control all that. I "might" be able to figure out how to add that to PSX, but there is a lot of things that need to be modified to add something like that to settings. PSX will probably never add that as like I said.... none of the devices they build for I believe have hardware keys w/ lights. I'd like to keep PSX as is without modifying any of their code. So... it also may be possible that I can modify the kernel to add an option in Trickster Mod to control the lights for capacitive buttons. I'll figure it out one way or another, as those lights bug the hell out of me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
Could u look into Omni's button code? It has some good differences no other ROM is offering for us..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jaykishankrk:
Sorry if this was answered before.. R u building carbon with Motox optimized Dalvik inherently, I know for a fact that PSX is?

BTW, PSX 4.4.2 been smooth and a breath of fresh hair for me :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I'll look at it, however Omni probably has options in settings to modify that stuff. Which means I'd have to modify, settings.apk, framework maybe and probably other stuff. I'm not quite sure how to do that yet.... but it's on my list of things to learn :p

No... however, now that you mention it, I probably can.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jaykishankrk:
Yes pls.. And thanks for all the amazing you guys put in for this wonderful community.. Thinking I should join the force someday to see what you guys go through when you do so much developing free for us folks.. I am damn sure developing on android in itself is exciting enough to ditch the money factor from work perspective.

Keep up the good work and as always you guys rock..! :)

[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
Why is it that always all Android Stock ROMs, whit this i mean, all that are non-company Android build for their phones have poor game performance? Some games run well but others no, tried FIFA14 and it doesn't run so well like it did with LG Firmware and Minion Rush, a stupid game, it runs like less than 1FPS.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Fixed

Don't include watch next time. Just the letters and numbers
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
but.... but.... it worked for me? =.=
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MitoTakatori:
Haha! BTW, what is the difference between PSX and Carbon? Which one is the most recommended to flash? I tried carbon earlier. Much nicer than the previous build. But I got error flashing PSX.

I am using TWRP for 4.4. Previous PSX builds are flashing without problems.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] WESTdad:
What would be the reason that Calendar will not install for anything. It doesn't install through GAPPS core, GAPPS standard, or even through the Play market. Being that it won't install the calendar therefore calendar sync force closes and is running in the background draining the battery like crazy.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
They just different flavors... I personally prefer PSX, though Carbon is good too.

If you get an error flashinf PSX, reboot recovery and flash again. should work.

Did you flash 4.4.2 banks gapps and 4.4.2 banks calender sync addon?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] geokilla:
In that case, why not just build 1 ROM without the kernel, then provide the respective kernels? And get rid of the CWM script that's stopping me from installing E975 ROMs on my E971. It'd save a lot of time no?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] WESTdad:
Yeah. I think I'm going to try one more reinstall I guess. :confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MitoTakatori:
Thanks. I made it work now. I prefer Carbon since it has the tweaks I want. Thanks again. Much more power! :laugh:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Psx is closer to AOSP focusing on speed not features. Carbon has more of its own and other ROM's tweaks and features but still has good performance. It all depends on what you want in a ROM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
If it was that easy.... it would have been done a long time ago. There is more then just the kernel that defines the device specific stuff to be built.

If you can figure out how to merge all of the sources listed below into one big happy OG common device source and actually get it to work... then we do something like that.

Just quoting you so you see the notification, sorry to bother, hope you didn't forget about those battery tips hahaha :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MitoTakatori:
Right. I am on Carbon right now. Thanks again and hope to see more updates and features for both ROMs. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
haha yeah sorry... My son has been running around like crazy, so I have no been able to sit down for longer then 5 minutes at a time today. I'll will post it though, just not exactly when I said I would :p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
It's ok! Btw, do you game? I mean, why is it that this android stock roms have poor performance? I know that maybe Despicable Me : Minion Rush isn't the best example, game it's kind of laggy wherever you play it but with PSX, Carbon and CyanogenMOD it's awfully lagging.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jaykishankrk:
Antutu score never goes beyond 13000 for me.. Back in the days of 4.3 PA ROM with Houston's adreno kernel had one of the best performances going around..

[MENTION=263376]miz[/MENTION], any real chances if pulling adreno blobs for the kernel? Does my question even make sense?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] geokilla:
If I knew how to build ROMs, I would've built them a long time ago... Most I can do is test ROMs..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
AnTuTu? 13K? That is wrong, i read that 17/18K is the common for LG Firmwares and for Android Stock it's like 20/22K, i'm getting 20.524 points on AnTuTu.

Guess the game is the problem, btw, does anybody knows if there is a good kernel for E975 (GEEHRC) ?? And which performance settings use?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FcoEnrique:
Well, Now I can't decide between Carbon or PSX :p

Does the last PSX build allow to customize the quick settings?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MiZrY:
I do play games, but the games I do play all seem to run fine. I have read though that some games are laggy on custom roms. I don't know why though. It probably has to do with customs ROMs having newer drivers and such that the games are not designed for. Perhaps the games need to update to be more compatible with newer android versions and drivers ect. Like I said though, I'm not sure.

It was a rhetorical statement :p

Basically, I don't think it's possible to have a universal device source that would allow what you suggest to happen. It would be nice though, but it is what it is.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

13k is way low.... I usually get about 20,500. An OC kernel can possibly bring it up to 23k

As for the adreno question.... I'm still a noob when it comes to kernels, but I'm working on learning more. Gonna mess with kernels this weekend.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure there is an xposed module that can add that.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] davevinci:
I have tried flashing geeb roms(hou's PA) to geehrc but it needs a separate kernel(i used geespr kernel).. also i had to edit some build.prop lines for network.. i also tried some geespr builds but i cant make SMS work in all of those roms i tried.. i think network is the main issue when it comes to porting to lg optimus g variants :p it would be awesome if we can have a "universal installer" like aroma installer instead of a "universal build"
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
Dunno what it maybe, you know this stuff, and may that's it! But well, guess i gotta give up on Minion Rush, the other games are quite well, don't seem laggish but they are a copule of FPS under LG Firmware.

And cool that you're gonna mess with kernels, love to some something from you for the GEEHRC.

I think I jumped the gun there.. When I tested it on OMNI and CM 11 I got close to 13000ish but with PSX I am getting close to 18000 as Miz mentioned.., by the way I haven't tried tweaking anything at all with PSX and I think its something to do with Moto's optimized dalvik I guess.

Usually standard instead of core, and it depends on which rom you flash. If it's a 4.4 rom, you need 4.4 gapps, 4.4.1 rom = 4.4.1 gapps, etc.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] IOmega666:
Yup, Real Racing 3 does lag, not like it can be played but it lags, it didn't with LG's Firmware 4.1 but i really can't go back to that now.

Really? I play RR3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, The Dark Knight Rises, Modern Combat 4, Minecraft, Ravensword: Shadowlands, Gangstar Vegas, Kingdom Rush Frontiers, and Dead trigger 2 and the only one that lags a bit is DT2 but other than that no lag at all. On both PSX and CM11.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
If you experience lag, play with the msm_mpdecision and CPU governor settings in trickstermod. If you find a better set up that doesn't kill battery but performs better, I can change it in kernel by default.

Hieu's adreno kernel simply means that back on JB MR2, he upgraded to flo (nexus 7 2013)'s GPU drivers and binaries. On KitKat, the drivers are the same (or at least they were the first release). I can compare them again. I'll also try and see if hammerhead (N5) binaries have better performance.

I submitted the newest of the nexus 4 binaries to the binary repo we used, so that means that right now, every build runs 4.4 binaries, but soon, they should be upgraded to 4.4.2. I'll have to ask if they saw my pull request.

It's not like it goes too damn bad, i mean, let's say that the better performance is 30FPS for a game like Real Racing 3? Well i got it running at 20FPS to say a number, and yeah you can feel that it's running lower than it should be.

Couple of things to ask.

Despite battery, which would be the best way to have better gaming performance? I mean, which governor? how much min and max cpu frequency? i/o scheduler? I just wanna know it if you do, and another thing, it's possible to have some of the Spring LG Optimus G build for the Optimus G E975?
