Using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and I had no problem flashing everything including Dark Candy.

My process;

Reboot recovery

Backup

Advanced wipe 3X (Dalvik, Cache, Data, System)

Then follow gr33n's instructions.

Everything is running smooth and very responsive. Thanks gr33n!
[Verizon LG G2] tombepa:
Lol. I have never, I mean NEVER seen a Dev give instructions on how to dirty flash a ROM. You're my new hero.

[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
I disagree I download on it all day long :-/
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
I'm not gonna lie I dirty flash an I know damn well so do 75%+ of the devs. So might as well make a guide
[Verizon LG G2] tombepa:
I think it was source forge cause as soon as I said that and tried UC it did the same thing. Lol

Is the camera zip better than stock camera?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
you mean the camera apk? Yes, its the STOCK LG Camera. Works a lot better then AOSP, but both have added features.

So i've read through the last 10 pages or so and dont see anything about sods? does this build not have them? ive been on SlimKAT and been loving it but just got my first sod today? I really wanna try this out
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Haven't got an SOD since the early days of this rom. It's solid and stable to run as a daily driver, and as I personally do.

I've also been running dirty flashes here with a mix of some clean ones and have been fine with them as well. The latest build that has been posted i have dirty flashed and have no issues what so ever.
[Verizon LG G2] Ejames991:
Awesome on that note im downloading now and gonna flash here in a few
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Just dirty flashed the lastest build and phone is performing as if i clean flashed! For those on twrp i had flashed to 2.6.3.3 recovery ro test and was able to flash all files without any problems. But i persobally enjoy cwm so switching back, just wanted to test myself ;})
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
I was wondering when you'd show up haha.

Did you flash the dialer an darkcandy?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Sod is hit or miss depending on apps ... From ehatbive gathered.
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Haha! And yes I did, both successful
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
OK just making sure lol
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Yes, loving the new features!
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:

[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Yes! Loving the change!

I'm on 1/18 and still getting sods had 4 or 5 today. Even upped the min freq to 600mhz and still having them. Issue seems to be random. Anyone have any ideas for fixes. Willing to try anything. I am using xposed with unicon and gravity box kk.

What's the deal with Bluetooth on EVERY 4.4 ROM I'm getting two songs playing at the same time while listening to slacker radio. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Verizon LG G2] eighty1:
I had one SOD last night and 1 this morning. Didnt have xposed installed but I did restore a few apps from Titanium backup, but no systems apps, so shouldnt be an issue. Other than that all the tweaks I made were the baked in custom settings.
[Verizon LG G2] big70tom:
I restore apps only. Its a pain but no problems
[Verizon LG G2] eighty1:
I dont always restore apps but being they arent system apps it shouldnt be an issue from what I've heard in the past. I've restored the same apps on other 4.4 ROMS with no issues. Neither am I saying thats the issue I am not sure what is causing it. Gonna try 1/20 build and restore the same apps and if it does it again I'll try a clean install of apps.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
There's a lg camera in the op that works really good...
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Nonsystem apps can still mess with 4.4 Roms...
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
Just got my first SOD with no new apps from the last build. First on I've had on this rom. Also had to rename the Google clock apk due to nonstop force close notifications. Everything else is smooth.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Did you do a clean install or did you dirty flash? The Google Clock app hasn't F/C at all for me, so something you restored or didn't wipe broke something, there should be NO F/C AT ALL.
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
Clean install of 1/19 yesterday. Followed instructions in OP. I will keep an eye on it, but no big deal
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Well it bothers me, because I actually did a clean flash before doing 1/19.

Which 1/19 did you download the morning version or afternoon?

I would recommend if you have time to update to 1/20 either dirty or clean, I dirtied from 1/19 as it seemed weird, to 1/20 and have had no issues.
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
Afternoon 1/19. I will update to 1/20 when I get off work. Thanks dude. You are one of the most responsive devs I have ever worked with. You the man!
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Haha, thanks man.

One other thing, make sure you try the following...

Go To About Phone > Build Date > Tape The Build Number 5x's or till it says Developer Options Unlocked

Then go back to Settings > Developer Options > Scroll down to the following

Window Animation: Change to .25 / .5 (I use .25)

Transition Animation Mode: Change to .25 / .5 (I use .25)

Animator duration scale: Change to .25 / .5 (I use .25)

Also clear data on the Clock App!
[Verizon LG G2] Rangizingo:
Which of the two do you think works better? I've been using the one in the OP just fine, just curious if this one has any benefits.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Big shout out to OP, I've been using this ROM literally since day 1 and have had EXTREMELY minimal problems, most of which I solved with some tinkering that were probably my fault to start. I was never satisfied with ROMS for some reason, but I literally haven't touched another one since I got this one, so thanks :D.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Thank you, and that's why I keep doing this, I want users to have a great choice of rom, that can be used daily, but that also everyone works together and gives tips, tricks or otherwise. There's apps out there for everything, so why worry about a rom that's packed with it all when you can add as you want =) And also make sure your device is stable as can be.

When you start baking in a million addons you get issues, and that's not what I want by any means...

First and foremost I want stability & battery life. I want to be able to say look, I have a stable rom, that's not STOCK, that's built off CM, and that's going to make people say WOW. =)

Hey [MENTION=4372316]gr33nd3vil[/MENTION] are you using the original minimum cpu frequency at 300ghz or the higher one at 652ghz. I was having sods on this new build until I changed the min. Just wondering if you leave it alone on your setup.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
I don't touch CPU freq at all.

Dark Candy is OPTIONAL, YOU DO NOT have to FLASH IT, it will only THEME DIALER, CONTACTS, MMS, and DarkUI layout. It's a very clean basic setup.
[Verizon LG G2] Lesser Version:
OK...I will try a clean flash of 1/20 as soon as I can. Thanks for the responses

Any chance you could bake in the aptx codec to be used?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45768445&postcount=21

Try to enable AptX codec:

1. adb shell

2. su

3. setprop persist.service.btui.use_aptx 1

Check that property was changed:

4. getprop persist.service.btui.use_aptx

You should get "1"

I JUST FLASHED THIS GUISE AND I THINK IT BRICKED MY PHONE. I LOSTROOTFORCECLOSECITYWTFBBQ!!!111!1!1!!

Just messing around lol. Got it all flashed and I gotta say, its looking pretty tits.

Inverted ui is always a blessing. That was the first time I've done anything with aroma installer(least I'm assuming that's what made it get all blurry and looked like it froze) kind of a wtf moment, but surprised there was some customization added in. Figured it was just a inverted ui.

One of the best things about this is viper being baked in, its always a solid sound choice.

New boot screen is pretty boss (about time you made a custom one heh)

Good deal on adding a themed Google keyboard(I usually install the same one with white vs the blue but I'll keep it)

I've been running slimkat for a few days and I've liked it but the battery seems eh at best on paek. The stock kernel was fine for a day or two then reboots out the ass.

Going to give this a solid few days/week to see how stock kernel is these days since you have been praising it. I'll use your setup in trickster. I just need to mess with DPI because that was the best thing about slimkat. It already being set.

All you need to do now is fabricate or fork some decent wallpapers to bake in, and you've killed it a dozen times over.

Awesome work bro

Gr33n, I hears something about you using this to make a PACman Rom. Is that true?
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
FYI you don't have to flash Google dialer if you flash dark candy. It's built in if you choose the full theme instead of minimal.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
You can use titanium just restore only USER APPS & DATA(take the risk if you want), and DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA or SETTINGS this is where PEOPLE GO WRONG.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
What?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Um it shouldn't you should have to install Google dialer prior before flashing...
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Maybe not. Or I misinterpreted.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Well you don't. When you choose which version to install inside aroma it says "this will install the Google dialer from PA rom".
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Weird per the DEV of Dark Candy, you have to install the dialer =/

Ah well to each there own LOL.

12B radio works sick btw, on 1/20 build =/
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Just a noob question. I juts got this phone. Had an iPhone before and a razr maxx before that. I've rooted and adb pushed twrp with loki_flash. I'm on the 12B build. Can I install this rom? If so just follow OP instructions?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Just follow op instructions :)
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:

Also how's PAC moving along
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:

That's were I got the PAC Man thing from. Thoughts it was short for PACMan
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Dark ui you can see from my screen shots or in op
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Again, sorry for the questions. Is aroma an installer script during the flash?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Correct
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Ok. Thanks for all the info. Will flash as soon as I get it charged.
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
You running the 12B radio now? What happened to 12A? :eek:
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Just trying it idk what the deal is but my LTE keeps dropping in and out. So I have a new Sim being shipped to me.

Also building new rom as we speak lots of audio updates.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Anyone having LTE issues or is it just me? Nvm Must of been me flashed 12B, then flashed 12A modem and all is normal again haha.

[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
If my LTE is rock solid on stock 12B. Will flashing this rom mess it up? Can I flash 12a over 12b if need be?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
What rom are you on Sims?
[Verizon LG G2] nievesaj:
Does anyone use a different keyboard other than the stock Google keyboard included in the ROM such as SwiftKey or something else?
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Stock OTA 4.2.2 , VS98012B

Rooted with TWRP installed using adb push and loki_flash
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Stock normally will always make it look like you have better reception then you normally do. That's just how it is.

You may run into issues with AOSP roms, as far as reception goes, it's just a normal issue you deal with until bugs are worked out.
[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:
Ok. Good stuff. Just wanted to make sure before diving into the deep end of the custom Rom scene.
[Verizon LG G2] Tomyk89:
I had a couple clock FCs as well but for the first time have made it over 24 hours without one single freeze or SOD! The only thing I have done different is NOT installing adfree android. I can live with apps if my phone will run this great.

Love the ROM gr33nd3vil, great job!
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
For those of you if you have a 3G to LTE handoff issue or WIFI to LTE hand off issue try the following.

First Download Nova Launcher from the play store

Once done open Nova Launcher and let it be your home launcher (if you dont use nova launcher that is =))

Next long press on the desktop somewhere & select SHORTCUT > Activities

Scroll down to Settings > APNs (Whatever reason CM11 hid APNs AGAIN for VZW.

Now Open Apns

Click the +

Enter the following...

Click the MENU 3 dot menu up in the right when DONE & exit out remove icon if you want and reboot phone and life should be good.

Don't PANIC it will be BLANK in APNs and not show what you entered that is NORMAL.

Side question. Will the 12B radio work on any ROM? Or only those that allow it or something. I don't know a ton yet about ROMS how they interact with radios.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yes it should work on all. The full ota is where people have issues. Not all Roms support it.

[Verizon LG G2] KassaNovaKaine:
A stupid question, but on the step with the 3x wipe cache, does that only apply to dalvik, or both the "regular" and the dalvik?

Also since the wipe data function on CWM/Kit-Kat effectively erases the entirety of the sdcard, what's the recommended way of doing a clean flash without losing all your stuff?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
You clean flash through recovery never factory reset in cm.

Also 3xs is for dalvik and cache
[Verizon LG G2] markrulesallnow:
welp. I'm dirty flashing now. Will report back if I have any problems.
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
My data is good with 12B. dirty flashed over the 2nd 0119 build.
[Verizon LG G2] KassaNovaKaine:
Yeah, that's what I did (through CWM). I saw that in the last step it erased sdcard as well.

You should only format cache, system, and data.

[Verizon LG G2] cornelious1212:
I've never restored system apps, only user apps. Still getting the daily sleep of death. It may be from issuing TiBu, but seeing as Google has decided it will only restore about 6 of my apps on an install, its really all I have.
[Verizon LG G2] Tomyk89:
I've had zero issues on the 12B radio. I flashed it probably 3 weeks ago, and unless flashing this ROM gives me a new radio every time, I'm still on 12B and am very happy with it!

Ok so I clean flashed the 1/19(afternoon build), black candy, and google dialer per OP and had random reboots and FC's all over the place. I clean flashed 1/20 build last night at work without black candy and google dialer. I wiped cache/dalvik x3 and everything restored via google restore(I don't use TIBU anymore). I got two sleep of deaths back to back last night and one this morning. I have no new apps that I am using or have installed. I use Gravity Box for navigation bar control and greenify. I have insured all my SuperSU apps are granted permission and binaries are up to date. Until two builds ago, I didn't have one random reboot, SOD, or FC's. I may go back to PAEK as a trouble shoot. gr33nd3vil's rom is great and he is very responsive to issues. This rom is my DD and will remain, I just can't figure out why all the problems all of a sudden. I am doing all the TS I can before posting anything.

That's exactly my story. I will never own a Samsung again after Nexus 4, which brought me to G2. I must admit, I have a soft spot for HTC, although I feel they are doomed as a company, and a curiosity about Sony. If Sony ever makes a flagship for Verizon I may be tempted, but as of now the next phone I buy will be lg g3

I believe only with PAEK kernel allows that.
