[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I'm a huge AOSP fanboy. The reason I bought the G2 (Verizon) was because of the availability of ASOP ROMs. With that said, I've fallen in love with the stock LG ROM. Once you debloat and add some modifications (I suggest G2 Xposed) you have a stock looking ROM that runs fast and bug free. Despite fantastic efforts from our talented developers, you're going to run into bugs and other quirks with custom ROMs. With the stock ROM things just work.

Regardless of what you do, you'll really enjoy this phone. Welcome to the club.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennypow3rs:
When I bought mine it was already rooted and flashed with CM11. I purchased it from swappa that way. I actually recently loaded up stock just to test it and stock is so feature packed. I threw on nova launcher and an icon pack wow. Phone is such a beast on stock.

I told the guy to ship it with cm11 I'm a huge aosp fanboy but stock is good.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
What bothers me the about stock is the notification shade and how cluttered it appears and no multitasking soft key. I would try stock with minor tweaks if I could fix those issues.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
:crying:

I hear what you're saying. Which is why G2 Xposed is so fantastic. Check out my screenshots. First is with one finger swipe down. Second is with two fingers. Also note the inclusion of a multitasking button in place of the menu button LG included in stock. Not trying to change your mind. To each his own. Just trying to convey the message, from one AOSP cult follower to another, that the LG stock ROM is actually pretty useful.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
Interesting....It appears as if I may have more options than I thought. I am a sucker for AOSP, but I may try stock. Thanks for the info. It almost appears like it gives G2 owners the best of both worlds. Stock, modified stock and AOSP.

Now how are those rear keys?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
I wanted to reply in this thread but you did it for me. Exactly what happened with me (Intl instead of Verizon). :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
Rear buttons are fine. I actually prefer the layout now. They're weird at first, but in less than a day you'll be used to them. Plus the knock on/off feature means you won't use them much anyway.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Rear keys are still borked, but Knock-On I never use the power button and I've always let Tasker manage my volume levels.

I used stock for one day just to check the phone out, used AOKP 4.3 since. Works great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
Sounds like 'to each their own...' regarding the rear keys, yet they do not appear to be a deal breaker or keeping you from enjoying the phone.

I recently read a review that praised the hardware, yet cursed the software. They even commented that this phone is probably better for people who root phones. I am looking forward to doing so.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I'm an AOKP fan but you'd be hardpressed to flash a rom once you use the stock rom. Paired with G2 settings, its more feature rich then any AOSP based rom I've ever used.

The biggest feature is the popup call and SMS notifications. The volume sliders show up in the status bar anytime there is a call or any audio playing. The Clipboard App is awesome. Qslide floating Apps especially Messaging, Browser, and Calendar are useful. I even really like the QuickMemo to overwrite notes on the screen.

Probably another 10 perks that Stock Rom really makes awesome.

You can even flash the LG Flexs Split Window function which is really cool.

I wouldn't flash a custom rom too quickly.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidQ:
I am going to try to resist rooting until I can be sure that the hardware is good. I have noticied a screen flicker when at 0% and no automatic brightness. I have read something about content adaptive brightness...

I just hate the look. No multitasking/recent app key, the notification shade, the colors. I will see what I can do to modify the look to give the rest of LG's UI a chance before rooting and going back to what I know and love.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noysingh:
My mothers phone is email locked and she does not know her password. It is a sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE. When i press the unlock screen, it would ask for a gmail and password. She does not know her password. The phone is stuck. The only problem with hard resetting the phone is that i need all the information/apps and data that is stored in the phone.

Is there anyway i can bypass or break the code by using a software? The phone has orginal stock recovery and rom. Please help me, any sugggestions would be greatley appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Not much you can do if she has forgotten her password, particularly since the phone is stock.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noysingh:
So there is no way around it bcause her phone is locked?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Correct
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
If she created a gmail account with a secondary email address, go on gmail and have them email you your password. Create a new password, then use that to log-in on the phone.

Any time I see these posts, I now think of that retard that stole whoever's phone, and was trying to get past their password.

[HTC One X] Golthran:
Dear all,

I guess as a new member I am a Noob ! And that's exactly what I am with HTC phone or Android.

Let me explain the issue, I got a HTC one X recently and it seems that the Headset Entry when I plug headphones detects randomly the headset. Which means that sometimes the phone just turns on Beat Audio and put the volume down or just stop detecting the headphone...etc

I looked into some threads and I saw that some of you use Sound About which I already use...but it keeps detecting sometimes the headphones and shut down the volume or stop the music...its really annoying as if I move the plug it affect the detection...

I guess that would be hardware then and I would have to change the connector...

But I need your advice :)

Thank you very much in advance !!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
Hello!

I've got a problem. After installing the newest version of hellcat my kindle wont turn on.

It just boot looping all the time.

After installing, in last line i noticed an error "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)".

(im using recommended touch recovery v2.0 TWRP).

I don't know what to do.Please help.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
I assume you are using a first generation fire. First, plug it in so that you might charge. Next, press and hold the power button, to see if it shuts down completely. If nothing happens, allow it to charge, then try again. It will evrntually respond. I would get into twrp and restore s back up.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
Let me explain. I can go to recovery. When i start kindle it loops the information "press power button for recovery". On older rom after this info system was starting but now it doesnt. IDK why. (excuse me for bad english, im from poland :D)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
OK. From recovery, install the rom again. Clear cache, dalvik, data, and system before installing. One of those hellkat roms requires an arts version of gapps. Which did you install?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
even without installing gapps it wont work so its not the problem. I tried to reinstall like 5 times ald always same error and problem. Maybe someone could send me a backup of installed hellcat? Would it work?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
Download the rom again from a PC. On kindle, from twrp, mount sdcard. Push fresh download to kindle. Install rom again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
Still same error and problem...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
For verification, are you wiping cache, dalvik, data, and system prior to install? Which exact version of twrp? (Should be 2.6.3.1, nothing lower)

Can you restore from a backup?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
ive got v2.0 TWRP (my uncle was installing it about year ago), im wiping evrything. I dont have a backup. Is there a possibility to update recovery and will it help?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
Ah. You must be using twrp 2.6.3.1 in order to flash kitkat. So, update twrp or flash a jb rom. I actually had to use flashify to upgrade twrp.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RysiuWroc:
Is there a possibility to upgrade twrp using twrp ? :D if not can you show me how exacly i can upgrade my twrp after installing jb?

Thanks for help!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
My recovery was twrp 2.2.2.1, which would not flash a new version. I had to download a program called Flashify from the store and that worked. Here are the steps. First, pick a jb rom and install it. Don't forget gapps. Next, get Goo Manager from the store. Install it and in its menu, the three little dots on the upper right, there is a choice to flash open recovery script. Do that, and it will install the latest twrp. Reboot to recovery and make sure the new version is 2.6.3.1. If it does not work, get the twrp file from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze, and choose openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-otter.img. Install Flashify and then install the image. That is what I had to do. After verifying twrp 2.6.3.1 is installed, go ahead and get a kitkat rom and it will now install without issue.

This ROM has SERIOUS potential! Ridiculous fast and i'm still on stock kernel. everything is fluid, scrolling and transitioning flawlessly. I didn't like the stock launcher, as i've never used it before, and quite confusing so i switched to Nova..might even go with KK launcher. LOVE the themes to death. still poking around on it. ill come back with further updates soon:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
It says Gapps are included in download which I guess is why it's a pretty big download for an aosp rom (501mb).

Anybody try this yet?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
Yes, I'm on it right now and have been for about 6 hours. I love it. Only big deal breaker is the no data which BTW OP I got data / getting data now randomly

And to everyone else here's my set up so far. Love the themes here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Well no data or intermittent data is a complete no go for me.

I'll check again when they have a fix for it.

Thanks for the response
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
It's a common issues with cm11.

I had to fix it for the s3.

Try using a different kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
Working on update now.

I will need testers for data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I'll test, if you'd like.

Let me know

Thanks for your quick response
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] catapilla:
I'll test. Been running since you posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
It's up.

Sorry, its taking time to get back.

I started with the sprint s3 and now 9 or 10 different device's within the past few days.

No worries. Thank you for your time and effort.

D/L now..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
Got my help! I've still kept it without data. Will flash new kernel tonight to see if that helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
You flashed newest version and still no data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I think he means he got help from someone and they told him to flash a different kernel, he can be kind of slow sometimes........can't you Dennis lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Lmfao! Have you tried this yet? I'm going to when I get home later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I haven't yet, I was talking to Dennis last night about it but I absolutely need data so I'm just waiting on that to be a confirmed fix. It looks really good, and he was raving about it last night.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Ok. Just flashed and had to go back to commotio. You only get data when connected to WiFi. Otherwise its pretty cool. A little bloated bit that can be fixed. I'll try again when data is fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
lol I meant he's got my help when the OP asked for help for testers...i'm about to flash newest update and will flash newest kernel as well

How about bluetooth and wifi tether. Anyone try those yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
Not yet, I will try to hook bluetooth up to my car when i leave work in a few hours..but wont be able to test hotsppot for awhile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
Updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Is the data issue fixed? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
I need someone to let me know.

I think I tracked down the problem.

If not it must me a cm11 issue.

I do not own this device.

I only own the sprint s3, soon to be note 3.

This is more a fun and getting use to the kitkat system.

For most android's it seems easy.

The rom has been mostly fully working with the 9 devices i've made it for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I appreciate the quick response.

I won't get a chance to flash until later tonight but it can't be a cm11 issue as I've run virtually every cm11 based kitkat rom and never had a data issue.

Thanks for your support and I'll certainly let you know if it works when I get a chance unless someone else beats me to it.

Thanks again and have a great day!!!!

I didn't mean too, but I was adding the settings for sprint. duhhhh lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
nope, no data bro:( and this screwed some things up...when i flashed (clean, just wiped cahce/dalvick) a couple apps appeared to have been uninstalled like my bank one and raindar.. little android guy on screen where app icon would appear
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cjen1987:
So, you didn't do a full wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:

yeah idk what's going on, some apps that i know exist don't even show up in the play store? idk what you did to accomplish that lol

Hey, anytime bro!:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] catapilla:
If you're restoring apps with titanium do AOSP to AOSP roms Touchwiz to Touchwiz.. It's common for apps to disappear if they have any cache data or saved shnits on ur SD. Won't play well.. Just a known little bug that might help when restoring apps and data together. Word.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
See the thing is it's not just tibu that messed up it's the actual Google play store. It won't find apps that I know exist (2 I can think of off top of head are citizens bank app and raindar) and when I searched them on my actual computer they showed up, but said my device was not compatible. I've never had and issue doing cross backups with tibu before this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] catapilla:
