Hello!

I have just bought LG G2 D802(32GB) which came with Jelly Bean. I upgraded to KitKat immediately using OTA. However, due to audio noise issue I am looking to revert back to JB.

Currently my phone has kitkat, following are the details:

I don't exactly remember these details when my phone was on JB, but i do remember the software version which was D80210f-SEA-XX.

Now, I want to roll back to jelly bean, but I am not so sure on how to proceed since I am new to this and i have never done this before.

I'd appreciate it if some one here can guide me step by step on how to revert back to JB without screwing up anything.

Any help and suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

How to install Paranoid ?

Hi guys,

I have recently bought a LG G2 (D802) from DWI on Ebay. This is my first Android smartphone (my old one was a iPhone 4) and i'm absolutely excited because it's so incredible ! The screen is so beautiful ! Games like Real Racing or Dead Trigger run flawlessly :)

My iPhone 4 was under a jailbreak and I want to tweak my G2 to his maximum so I want to install a custom rom.

I see that Paranoid was one of the best for the LG G2, what did you think ?

So I find this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502789

But I don't know how to start :(

I'm a noob in Android Root/Flash/Rom or something like else ....

Thanks You !

PS : This is my first post on this forum :)

PS2 : I apologize for my english, i'm french Android user :)

With the imminent release of the Nexus X on the next month i think that the best choice it's wait and get the new device. Seems that will have a huge improvement on the departments of battery and display.

I'm think that the LG G2 and Nexus 5 it's basically equal, they both have the same processor, same resolution, same RAM, same storage.. and of course, the LG G2 has a best screen quality, battery and camera... So, to me seems that this it's not a good change...

I really like the functions like Multi Window, Knock Code, Knock On, Intelligent Screen, and another things that you just can found on modified ROMs by manufacturer... but i think that i will give a chance for the "pure android", i'm very excited with the android L.

If that you have said(about that nearly every rom is ported for the Nexus 5) happen with the new Nexus X, i think that this will be a key point to buy a Nexus, i really like to install ROMs, mods and everything that can improve my device ( I have rooted my LG G2 on the same day that he have arrived at my home :P) and looks like the Nexus community it's strong in this point.

You have made a good point that have changed my thoughts about the pure android... Now i have another phone to consider. :D

Thanks again. :highfive::good:

Tmobile wifi calling using LG G2 (ATT Version)

Hello,

I am a current Nexus 5 owner running on t-mobile network. I would like to use the wifi calling feature currently not an option on the nexus 5. Question: if i buy an ATT version of the LG G2 off ebay, will i be able to wifi call? or is the a hardware specific option only on the tmobile version?

Guys, since yesterday I have an annoying issue. Whenever I turn on the phone (and sometimes when I use it) the play service process freezes (a couple of times the google location service too). What I did yesterday (different from the normal usage days) was to shoot a lot of pictures with lg camera (geotagging not active). The rest of phone, settings, whatever, didn't change from other days. I'm on Bruce's ROM, kernel included, I have some xposed modules (android l navigation bar, disable location consent, force immersive mode, g2 skin tweaks, g2 tweak box, greenify), all of them since a lot of time, no issues. I tried to stop play service process and to delete cache, but the issue is still here. Logcat attached. Hope some of you can help/give direction to solve. Thanks in advance.

2.product: g2_open_cn

3. device is not rooted

4. revision and recompile - some chinese name i couldnt figure

5. baseband - M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046

the device was workin fine with voice calls... but there was no apn settins avlbl .. or system update settings avlbl ..

and this morning .. in order to get the data work ... i screwed up by selecting the cdma mode .. after which the mobile networks settings got grayed out ...

how should i proceed further?

well you won't find anything nexus like, there have actually been a couple of ports but all the projects seemed to loose the support, there was one for the vs980(vzw g2) in the earlier days of g2 but it just disappeared, there is one for d802(international g2) which can actually be found but is no longer being supported and there is one for the d800(att g2) which started development about a month ago but I think the person who was making it did not actually have device and there was no version that actually booted

you will be able to if you sim unlock, root, install custom recovery and install this t-mo ported rom; this option is only for the att g2 which is what rom that was ported for, I think some of the other g2 variants have a t-mo ported rom but I would need to look into it just to make sure

And why none is making it?

Well, I see PA, AOKP, CM and so on.. making beautiful rom but full of useless picks. IMHO best thing is GPE + Xposed: no drain and maximum stability.

The GPE is the pure Android experience, why would none work on it? Really can't understand...

Being the N5 and the G2 more or less the same phone, it wouldn't be that hard to make a port. Does they have different binaries?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthrax:
I think you're pushing it too far, the development stopped from personal reasons, what's so hard to understand?

and pure Android... no features ,nothing ? are you serious?

And using xposed can drain the battery more than the same features already implemented and you can't use art, just one of the reasons...

Is there any way to get the hotspotmod to your phone without actually rooting your phone?

WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
Not arguing with any specific devs, i'd like to be precise... but for me it's very strange that no one is pointing in that direction for development. I'm sorry if I appeared to point to specific devs, was not my intention.

Everyone seems adding the more feature they can to their roms... making every rom equals to other.

And yes, IMHO and from what I've seen in the last 4 years: less useless feature means more battery life. I'm coming from 2 years of Nexus4 and the best combo I found, was StockGPE + Xposed.. in fact I'm choosing which feature I prefer to have and nothing more I would never use.

I've used CM, AOKP and PA for long times between the last 4 years... and then I understood that the most feature they provide are mainly bloatware that makes your eyes shines... but at the end gives nothing that will become "not replaceable".

If only there was a simple guide, I would be glad to compile from AOSP sources a 4.4.4 clean and empty rom and release it to everyone (cuz I know I'm not the only one with this vision of Android)

And regarding "binaries" LG G2 hasn't been fully "visible, it is a branded device not Google device, I myself use Nexus phones for the past 2 years but aosp works on nexus

Some source codes aren't available still on many phones so porting aosp became a surogate, though they perform pretty well

I too like aosp, actually I'm waiting for oneplus one to play around until Google will reveal its beauty

what Hotspot mod are you talking about ? T-Mobile? Well no, you need root

Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
one of the reasons why devs aim for cm/aokp/pa/etc is because they are all open source, what is needed to make them is all out in the open and is somewhat easier to work with, if you wanted to have a nexus experience than that would mean porting a nexus devices rom and like other devices porting a rom is no easy task, why port another devices aosp like rom when there are already sources which need somewhat less work to get working, obviously if you want something more aosp then you can always try making one all you need is to take one of the available sources and strip out all the extras and there are many guides on making rome available on xda

as for the devices yes they are similar but they have there differences, n5 has 8 mp camera while g2 has 13+ois that alone would take a great deal of time and knowledge to get working; like you mentioned there will also be binaries differences/etc a few things I can think of with my limited knowledge on rom development but each device that needs to be ported will always face a hurdle or two

usually hotspot modding involves modifying/replacing a system file and without root this is not possible, you can always attempt to root install the mod and then unroot but that on it's own can be risky

Unroot?

Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
yea it is simple:

-install root

-replace or modify the hotspot app(depending on your variant is what will need to be done as long as you don't need custom recovery you can give it a try)

-check that hotspot works

-go into su app and in settings look for unroot option and you will not be rooted anymore

your device will still appear as rooted mainly because you used root to modify a system file and the root flag will be triggered and remain that way unless you kdz/tot to stock
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
Yeah, I know that's not simple. I had some experience while ago with AOSPA compiling... and after a bunch of wasted time trying to clean the code from what I didn't need, I left the idea. :(

Same for cleaning AOKP sources from all the Kanged stuffs... it's so long I would leave at half way.

I always found devs trying to create a ROM as clean as possible, I was just shocked that with G2 none was doing it. I know it's easier to start from something "P&P", but I'm feeling strange anyway... it's not normal for me to see this situation, need to have a rest over it. :-$

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Sorry, was in a hurry. Have you ADB installed? If not, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141817

If you've done that, connect your G2 to the computer and boot into twrp. Open a terminal command in the exact same directory as the ADB files are (shift + right mouse click --> run command line) then type "adb devices". If there's one device listed and only your phone is connected to your PC, you're fine.

Download any ROM.zip, you would like to install on your device and copy that in the directory of the ADB files as well.

On your phone go to advanced --> ADB sideload --> swipe to activate. Then type in the command line "adb sideload <name-of-the-rom-file>.zip" (replace <name-of-the-rom-file> by the name of the zip folder you'd like to flash). This file will be loaded onto your device immediately and then be flashed automatically. Hopefully that works for you. ;)

If you have a bad connection the antennas are probably the problem... Sorry, never opened my device. So i don't know what you wire you mean. ;) is it a round wire? Is it going from the somwhere around the earpiece to the the bottom (like the mic) (is it this direction you want to tell)??

It might be, that this is one of the antennas. And yes, it could be the problem. At least if this flat spot wasn't there before. If you can find it on ebay for small money, replace it and try it out. Shouldn't be too expensive.
