For those still experiencing GPS locking issues, I was in the same boat. I flashed the gps fix, I tried loading my CM11 rom (where GPS worked) and reflashing Plain-Andy, all to no avail. The best I could get was for the phone to geolocate on "high-accuracy" mode but it wouldn't find any GPS Satellites, only towers and wifi were contributing to location.

After further tinkering and research here is how I fixed the issue:

1.) Back up your gps.conf file by renaming it to gps.conf.bak or whatever you want. The file is located in system/etc/ and you need to do this with root explorer permissions enabled.

2.) Create a new gps.conf and populate it with the file linked in THIS thread.

3.) Under location settings, turn off high accuracy and set it to GPS ONLY...high accuracy does not work properly and loses GPS after a reboot or if you turn off location and turn it back on. I've found that by doing this it quickly picks up the GPS after a reboot etc. You can also toggle location off and on as needed (I use the Gravitybox Xposed Addon) and it will maintain the "GPS Only" setting.

Hope this helps!
[G2 Android Development] Lkish:
Couple of quick questions. Does G2 exposed work on this rom? Does quick window apps work with the LG G2 cover?
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Untested as I don't have a smart cover case but an otterbox style one.
[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
Yeah, this acid wash thing is weird and the rebooting constantly after rebooting manually is weird. Seems to make this unusable. When I can get to the home screen its fine.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=2904727]SimsDelt[/MENTION] [MENTION=3436633]Bwangster12[/MENTION]

Are either of you using ART by chance?
[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
I don't know what the hell happened and now I'm crazed.

I flash the rom, tweaked my settings, couldn't get GPS to work, so flashed the GPS fix from earlier in the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51366349&postcount=171

After that I started getting the acid wash issue... and now when I reboot my phone or in recovery, I have about 4 vertical running black lines down the right side of my screen. Its like I dropped my phone or something, which I didn't.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Early on when the aosp version of furnace came out it was doing the same thing. Its kernel related.

[MENTION=3419683]Snuzzo[/MENTION] you could probably pm [MENTION=4316709]Savoca[/MENTION] to see what the issue/fix was.

[G2 Android Development] SimsDelt:
I honestly dont know what ART is. I don't remember if it happened or not with stock or other kernel. Just noticed it one day and a hard reboot fixes it.
[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
Why do I see them throughout rebooting, during recovery and even after I restore back to my CM 10.2?
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
It happened to me and I was not on art.

Honestly it was months ago. Everyone was uncertain if it was from the kernel or a bad digitizer.

Some people went back to stock and still had the lines.

Some said they went away with time and some said they still had them.

Eventually the posts on it stopped. Not sure if there was a fix or no. I would honestly go read through his thread and see what you can dig up.

I had the acid washed look but I received no lines from it. Once I saw the lg splash screen get all trippy I instantly rebooted recovery and wiped. I didn't let it boot up or anything.

[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
I just think its weird because it seemed to happen right after that gps fix. I never even flashed furnace or another kernel.
[G2 Android Development] bouchigo:
It's not the GPS fix causing it...It's something else, most likely kernel related.

I just saw this over in the furnace thread:

[Kernel] Furnace-1.8.1 for AOSP/LG ROMs [LS/VS980/D800/1/2/3][3/28/2014]

[quote name="Bwangster12" post=51462034]I've looked through the thread a bit...but was there ever a fix for the black lines thing people reported? I had CM10.2 then went to Plain Andy and flashed a GP......
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
One would think if its kernel related, that more reports of it would show on OmniRom and ParanoidAndroid also, since its only a slightly modified version of that same source. Again, if it works for me, it will work for others. Sorry for those who are having the issues but if its working here there isn't something that needs fixed.
[G2 Android Development] bouchigo:
It worked fine for me too when I was running the Rom, I even flashed the GPS fix twice. Then I installed the updated version with the GPS fix already incorporated and everything was fine.

So, I don't know what's going on with those having issues.
[G2 Android Development] Dollyllama:
For those experiencing the echo issue, I was on the phone with my Dad yesterday and he told me he could hear his own voice. When I switched to speakerphone it stopped. When on handset mode it continued. I've been troubleshooting it this morning while my wife and mother in law shop for a new car for the mother in law. I tried rebooting the phone, reflashing the rom (dirty flash) and the echo persisted.

Finally I decided to change nothing else other than trying a different kernel. The result : Instant fix so I do believe it is kernel related.

Using Furnace 1.8 if this helps anyone.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Just merged in some heavy kernel updates including update to board files to 4.4 source thanks to [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] I don't have any pure ROM updates so I may stall this for a week.
[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
Well, its absolutely something associated with Plain Andy and/or the GPS fix. I've flashed for a long time and have a pretty strong understanding of what I'm doing. This ROM and/or the fix has caused MAJOR issues.
[G2 Android Development] bouchigo:
It's not the GPS fix.

It's been downloaded and installed over 3,500 times. As far as I know, you're the only one to ever say the fix caused the issues you're describing.

Plus, the fix has nothing to do with the display or the kernel.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
No its ok [MENTION=790321]bouchigo[/MENTION]. I can tell when I'm unwanted. I'll pull all the files down in the morning and close the thread. No problem with that. :)
[G2 Android Development] bouchigo:
Inevitably you will always run into these types of situations when you share your hard work. I say just keep at it, and keep improving upon your Rom.

Don't let these types of things pull you away from developing, unless it's what you really want :good::)
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
OK guys. The echo bug is there but very very faint on my device. So it is there, wife did state that it gets worse as the call lengthens. Pretty sure this could be a device issue and possibly with the newer source it will be squashed.
[G2 Android Development] surfoside:
Is there anyway to get the fourth button on the nav bar I've tried a couple of xposed mods and I'm not able to find anything? I flashed this ROM yesterday and I haven't had any issue with the echo yet.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Try GravityBox but I may not be able to help if any bugs arise from it.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Builds are on hold until I can fix source again. For now not much has changed anyways or needing to be. Sticking to Illusion for a little bit and working on things over there.
[G2 Android Development] minnysota:
Just wanted to share this FWIW: https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=VS980
[G2 Android Development] greyhd:
Wonder if we can use this file with the LG suite software and update.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Thank you for sharing but I don't need kernel source, my ROM source is currently duff. Already have the 4.4 board files in place.
[G2 Android Development] ecsnead69:
Snuzzo, you planning on doing a plain stock for Verizon now that kernel/source have been released?
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
I've been sticking to www.illusionroms.com and working slowly over on that side of things. Haven't taken the 24a update yet either because 12B has/is working smoothly for my use. Only thing I may need to update is loki which of course, I'd rather just give a new fully updated build prior. Again quite a few items to work on with this and the rom has not been buildable for about month and a half. I'll revisit this when more users are on 24a (I'm suspecting about another 2-3 weeks) and others can confirm that 24a is rootable without issue.
[G2 Android Development] Cerealkillah:
Getting on 24A using XDABBEB's zip file takes all the work out of getting updated. Flash 2 zips and you are on 24A. Can't wait to see Plain Andy on 24A!
[G2 Android Development] tacosrdelicioso:
Ioroot has been able to root it since version 25.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
So you can confirm his zip that gets flash in recovery takes care of it all eh?

I'll work on it later on.
[G2 Android Development] Cerealkillah:
I can confirm I flashed from CM11 nightly using only the 2 zip files he provides on page 1 of his ROM (I was on TWRP 2.6.3.3). No need to go back to stock or anything else. The bootstack zip gets things working and installs TWRP 2.7.0.0. Then installed his rom and I am up and running on 24A. No typing. I was very careful with the MD5 though...but outside of that, it was a breeze.

JPC is giving up the reigns on his 24A based CM11 ROM. We could use a savvy developer (hint, hint) to iron the remaining few kinks out. I wish I knew where one was..... *looks around and then focuses on Snuzzo* :)

Seriously, no pressure..and I understand you are busy. I just know you were able to work some serious Magic on the Rezound and I have a lot of faith in you.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Just would hate to get in too deep being a nearly burned out dev myself. Rezound really took a lot of the interest in things away.
[G2 Android Development] Cerealkillah:
Completely understand. Some Snuzzo is better than NO Snuzzo.
[G2 Android Development] Xsoldier2000:
I blame it all on HTC. The Rezzy even had me thinking about a windows phone after it. Don't blame you... it's a tough gig.
[G2 Android Development] je2854:
I'm still running a modified 12b boatloader.

If you want test done holla at me.

I still cannot run true 24b ROMs as i need the full new boatloader.

Written so fly like a G2
[G2 Android Development] joedajoester:
Will this flash with 24a baseband? Also, is there double tap to wake and status bar to sleep? I really hate all the extras other roms have, so this really appeals to me.
[G2 Android Development] HueyT:
phone won't have cellular function without flashing 12B baseband after flashing rom
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
DT2W yes, for knockoff Ive been installing Xposed+GravityBox+Apex and setting power off on double tap in Apex Settings>Gestures. You will need the old JB bootstack firmware for functionality.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Get to work on a 4.4 base!
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
I think I might update soon. :)
[G2 Android Development] Jimi Mack:
Look forward to it.
[G2 Android Development] tahlsr:
I think I might try a new ROM soon. :p
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Might my ass, get on it! We are severely lacking a light based ROM.

What base are you going to use as aokp has not updated?

After all the updates you did to aicp's kernel, I'd love to see you try your hand at building another ROM. Untapped potential is a shame
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
I had to switch the base from some omni to some AOKP. The only thing CM now is some of the device trees.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Well bro, if you get the time and/or motivation to pop a build out, I'm sure there's more then a few people who would love it.
[G2 Android Development] UrbanBounca:
That's technically not true. I like seeing new development, but SlimKat is pretty light at only 159 MB's.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Yes but this isn't SlimKat. I am not out to compete, just bringing variety. :) I won't be mad if you dont wish to at least try out the rom. Its all hobby for me. :) I foresee the zip to be about 155MB

Will be doing the vs980 build shortly and give it a quick run. I'd everything is kosher it should be uploaded rather quickly. Current downloads are down and are 12b based.
[G2 Android Development] UrbanBounca:
I'm not saying I won't give it a run. I'm just saying Slim is fairly small.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Please don't take my words out of context. They are meant with kindness. I'd never treat anyone badly, why would I because I'd not want that for myself.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
I'm well aware of how small slim and deviant xone are. It also being built in slim. Aldo there is omni. But to me, three Roms IS a lack of light weight Roms.

When you consider how many aosp Roms are out there that are over 160mb
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
Will need to do a few more updates to my source then its off to test the build.

[G2 Android Development] dawgwood3:
Hi Snuzzo - I have a quick question.... I am still on 11a and want to make the jump to plain andy. The problem is that XDABBEB's latest bootstack takes me to 25B. Will plain andy work with this or do I have to go only to 24A?
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
It will work fine on anything 24a and up
[G2 Android Development] tholmes8291:

[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:

I still can't get gravity box to add a menu button, set rung targets, swap recents and back, or anything of that nature. Guess I need to get used to lmt again.

Snuzzo you think it might be because I flash supersu? Im at a loss.
[G2 Android Development] c_brown93:
Can't get D800 build to download. I start download and it justs hangs. On LTE and WiFi.
[G2 Android Development] jesssiii:
So, this is bare bones? I know theme engine was mentioned, so maybe that and custom nav bar? Gonna give it a try, can't go wrong with Snuzzzo and REV3NT3CH! And I like the idea of a smaller, simpler rom.

[G2 Android Development] JamieD81:
Im using the D800 build on my D803, just changed the kernel, updater.script and build.prop to suit my device.

Snuzzo, maybe do as Dr87 does and build once and makes patches for devices.
[G2 Android Development] 1Nexus:
That's a clever idea especially if its working with just a kernel swap.
[G2 Android Development] HueyT:
Plain Andy is pretty slim. My nandroid is only 750 mb with 130 apps installed AND on ART (normally ART takes more room to nandroid). The only ROM that's more slim would be EOS which weigh in at 690 mb nandroid with same amount of apps BUT it's on Dalvik. SlimKat is 950 mb nandroid on Dalvik mode with same amount of apps. :good:
[G2 Android Development] JamieD81:
I used Render's R20 kernel/modules, changed D800 stuff in updater.script and changed D800 stuff in build.prop , all the blobs were the same so I didn't touch them. Flashed Render R21 afterwards.

All I did pretty much is what Dr87's patch for Mahdi does.
[G2 Android Development] Mindrocket:
No complaints so far. Feels lite and responsive. I'll charge it up tonight and see how the battery life is tomorrow. Great job as always!

[G2 Android Development] Xsoldier2000:
Is there anyway to customize the tiles? Am I just missing the menu somewhere?

EDIT:I will use gravity box for that I guess. Doesn't look like GravityBox Quicksetting changes are sticking. Anyone confirm?

EDIT2: +1 on the Waiting for Location with Maps. Turned on my wifi....changed to Device Only, then tried Battery Saving, and back to High Accuracy. No change.

For those that have GPS issues, they need to nandroid your current Plain Andy setup, flash stock based rom, get GPS lock, reboot to recovery, restore Plain-Andy nandroid, and your GPS should work after that.

Is there a way to disable the notification light while charging?

I do not have any GPS issues on VS980.

Nope. Not currently.
[G2 Android Development] JamieD81:
If you're not using art, there are a few xposed modules that turn battery led off.
[G2 Android Development] Snuzzo:
LS980 should be fine to run for the most part. If anyone has any suggestions on delta updates I'd be happy to hear them. Rather give you guys updates through that than full brand new 160MB + builds since my updates will be small. Nothing worth building even a weekly for.

The 4.4.2 AICP gapps works very VERY well on this.
