[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
You should still be able to boot up normaly. Then you can download things normally, boot into twrp, press install and so on... ;)

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Everything will come by time. ;) Don't worry, you can back up nearly everything.

Btw: If you want to improve your batterylife more, it's not recommended, to use other ROMs than really stock ones. I'd suggest you to use a sligthly tweaked G2 Stock based. If you are familiar with that you can go further and start using a customkernel (with even more tweaks)....

Tell us when you are rooted and I will tell you what to do next. ;)

No need for adb push. Sorry, don't know what variant is compatible with which root-method. The three oneclick methods: StumpRoot, IOroot, Towelroot. read the OP of everyone and pick the right one. Afterwards you can use Autorec. It will downgrade your bootloader and install twrp at once... But it needs root, so you have to root first. ;)

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Root and delete won't help. At least not in the "disc-space"-point. Since the Apps are installed in the system/app folder, it won't help to delete, because the partition size of the system partition will stay the same.

But uninstalling will help you stopping the BG processes at least. ;)

For sure Nova allows dt2s. use gesturecontrol (if you have prime at least). ;)

If I'm not mistaken you aren't the only1 with this haptic feedback problem. Afaik, it's a bug. Maybe a hardreset will help, but no guarantees.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comrade General:
I have already restarted the phone several times now. The vibration is still there. So what do you think, should I change to a custom ROM? The apps are hogging up the battery as well. According to DU battery monitor:

Android System is consuming 42.9%

System UI is using 20.5%

But according to stock battery monitor:

Screen is consuming 34%

Android OS is consuming 12%

Android System 11% .
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
How much SOT you have?

I'd try a hardreset first and then try again.... If it stays like this, move over to a customROM. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comrade General:
Sorry I don't know what SOT means. :eek: If you mean factory reset then I have already done that. Sorry I forgot to mention the screen on time. It is 3 hours and 50 minutes and the brightness between 40% to 60% depending on the light. I keep the brightness high on this phone as the colours are highly saturated and the screen looks way too dim below 30%.

Hi

I have rooted using towelroot and installed twrp using autorec using the guide which is provided in xda.in that guide,they are instructing to install supersu.

Is it necessary if I am staying I am staying in stock ?

Do I loose root access by anyway?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamterence:
Nope. Once you've gotten TWRP and an SuperSU.zip file, you're good to go.

Question for any LS980 users (And I guess anyone in general), do you guys have any telephone issues when flashing different ROMs? Right now I'm on Tsunamical's 11/24 PA with the KitKat modem, and sometimes my calls don't come through. I can make calls and have data, but sometimes when people call me, it goes straight to voice mail. And sometimes, calls actually come through. Any body else have this problem and know a fix? It'd be much obliged.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
I have some questions about bootloader. After I rooted my phone(D802) with ioroot i used autorec to install TWRP, in order to install TWRP autorec downgraded the bootloader and the kernel..and this brings some issues, the old kernel doesnt have the complete working knock code...but the bootloader? whats the difference between the kk bootloader and the old one which Autorec uses

I read something in Autorec's thread and i saw that is possible to use the kk bootloader with custom kernels and custom recovery menus.. so it's worth to update to kk bootloader? which are the differences between those bootloaders? if the bootloader update is worth, how i can upgrade safely the bootloader?

Now I'm on CloudyG3..i still have the old bootloader right?

And other question... on CyanogenMod the brightness flickers sometimes and its visible especially when browsing, texting..how this problem can be solved? And I think this flicker is present in other ROMs too but its not that noticeable like on CM..i asked this question everywhere but I cant still find a answer.. i'm no the only one with this issue, others confirmed it too

It looks like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpQYIADYxGE

HALP!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] messi4lyf:
Now only I notice that my double tap is not working as before [emoji27]

I didn't expect this [emoji30] [emoji30]

Is there any fix ?

Also,In the download link which I got mentions CWM supersu file

Will that work in TWRP ??

thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Towelroot is just rooting temporary your device (until reboot), but after using Towelroot you can download the SuperSU from google play. Or you can flash SuperSU file from recovery TWRP/CWM/Philz.

Maybe its more easy to use the first method that i told you. If now you dont longer have root acces, use Towelroot again and then download SuperSU from google play, install it and then the app will require to install supersu binaries..install them, just click on "normal install"..and after installation of binaries, supersu will require to reboot your device and done!

The double tap isnt working because Autorec downgraded the kernel in order to install TWRP, you can use a custom kernel which have double tap. Try Dorimanx kernel, its one of the best kernels available for G2 :D ( Dorimanx kernel), read the installation instructions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] messi4lyf:
Thanks

I installed supersu from store and going to reboot

I have downloaded cloudyg3 ROM . planning to install now itself. Hope it's a good ROM . will that fix everything?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
It's a good ROM :D. And yeap, it will fix the double tap problem too.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruudyG2:
Yeah, the main thing for now anyway is just to be able to remove apps i don't want and to bolster the battery power. It would also be good to be able to use the full functionality of gsam monitor rather than the restricted version that i get using kitkat.

When you say stock rom and stock based does this just mean that it is exactly the same as what is on there at the moment but with minor tweaks? To be honest that would do me fine as a starting point. The less complex the better until i get used to things and learn more.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamterence:
Stock/stock-based ROMs: LG UI ROMs, for example the Cloudy ROMs.

AOSP ROMs: Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, AICP, Liquid Smooth, Mahdi, etc.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dkrizzle:
So I just download gapps and the rest on my phone and it will be there to install when I boot in TWRP? Do I need to use file manager to put them anywhere specific?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
No, you dont need to put them somewhere specific, in TWRP when you tap "install" you will can browse through phone files
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
SOT = Screen on time. ;-P :D

Yeah. There is something wrong, if you have such a sot and the system has consumed more.... You can try out a tweaked stock based rom. Maybe this solves the problem....

but 3h50 min isn't bad at all...

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Long time the JB Bootloader wasn't unlockable. Afaik now it is, but it's still pretty hard. That's why autorec uses the JB bootloader. There are some reasons to update the bootloader to kk, but imho the difference is too small and most devs use the jb bootloader. So on JB bootloader you are good to go.

The bootloader never changes with a ROM change. You have to flash it manually if you want to do so.

Never seen that flicker. Weird thing. Maybe you can find a solution in the CM thread, but I haven't got one. sorry.

If I talk about Stock based, I mean ROMs based on original firmwares from LG -> G2/G3. BUT: Since somethings are different on the G3 I only recommend G2 based ROMs to increase batterylife.

You will see a file manager and be able to move to the file you want to flash. You just have to know, where your ROM has been downloaded to. (usually "Download" folder)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Yeap..i saw that now the kernel and recovery can be BUMPED :D

And even there are small diferences, which are they? :/.. its something about kernels right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well that may be true but how would you be able to flash the stock recovery in the first place

Hi can somebody guide how to get back my boot and down animation work again..d800 kitkat..this is what happen i tried replacing my boot and down animation using esfile manager what i did is move the original zip files to my sd then copy the bootanimation.zip to system/media but when i tried rebooting i get blank blackscreen..anyway i just copied back the original zip file back to where it belonged but suprisingly it stopped working too..any help would be much appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
question where were the original boot animations located?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymika:
maybe you can check your bootanimation.zip permission, it's should be rw-r--r--, 0644 for the number.

wrong permission may cause some file not working.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gobigob:
Just checked, it changed the model to G2. Is there anyway I can change this without a recovery, adb, or being able to boot?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangtas_666:
It is located at system/media
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Not that I know of but maybe you can find a dll that ignores the model check, we have one for the d800
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangtas_666:
Esfile manager is set to rw-r--r-- but i dont know how to get the 0644 value.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well did you change anything about them and did you make sure to set correct permissions
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangtas_666:
Honestly i dont know how to set the right permission..i just copy paste the files.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Okay go to play store and download root browser then go to sytem/media press and hold the boot animation/shutdown animation, click on permissions and you want it to be rw-r--r--(0644) then reboot, I also think that's why the boot animation did not work when you changed it he first time

Ok Zombie ill try that..thank you so much ill post the result later

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

since you are on 4.4 you will either need to get a kk baseband that has been ported to aosp or download the jb baseband and when you are flashing you flash the baseband and then the rom and reboot, as for cm or Mahdi that's up to you, but cm has been kind of buggy lately though I am not sure about mahdi

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carbon_x:
Hi guys... thanks for having a noob friendly thread for people like me!

I finally rooted yesterday (after bricking my old Evo 3D after getting my G2), successfully, and have been tweaking all night long with this thing. I changed the DPI to 380, and it looks so much better. I'm still on the stock LG ROM if it helps. I've got the Xposed Framework installed as well.

After changing the DPI, though, everything is spaced pretty weirdly and leaves gaps that I don't like. Attached are two screenshots (home screen and lockscreen) showing the weird spacing. Is there a way to tighten this up any in the stock ROM or am I just stuck like this?

The attached screenshot of the lockscreen, I'd like the two notification texts to be in the black below the clock, hell, or even taken off (with my alarm still active, of course). Also, what does the icon with "LG" next to it mean?

In the homescreen screenshot, I was hoping there was a way to get the weather widget to get closer to the notification bar, and the apps to follow it up a bit more as well (and potentially get a bit tighter together? same with the messaging / browser / camera bar below as well?). I changed the widget to a black background to show how far apart it is.

Thanks a ton for the help, I know I'm a newb!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megaroad:
I ordered the d802. It sounds as if I'm going to have to decide between taking an OTA to Kit Kat or rooting and flashing a rom. Any advice me on pros/cons beyond simply preferring the functionality of a ROM vs. the LG UI? Have people been able to, for example, get noticeably better battery life on roms? One thing I might like to be able to accomplish is replacing the menu button with a recent apps button, which it sounds as if it requires root? But I'd also kind of like to to use the proprietary LG UI, at least for a while.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymika:
kitkat G2 can root through ioroot25, and I believe there's custom for kitkat G2 now,

according to this thread

so it's no need to back to 4.2 to flash a custom rom.

If you are not sure which rom you are going to use, I think you can try the original ROM for a while,

it's the safest option, also a good start point. after that you can try root to gain some more features,

flash a custom rom if you want a fully customized, clean rom, which will take quite some of your time.

so it's depends how much time you would like to spend on your phone.

I rooted and flash a custom rom in just 2 minutes after i received my D802~:p

only thing i did with lg's system is to enable the usb debug function:cool:

"replacing the menu button with a recent apps button?"

do you mean the function as attached? the new official rom will able to hide and customize the navbar.

so if this is the thing you want, no custom rom needed, not even root.

sorry for my english, hope you have good time with your G2

OTA after Root

If I root my device now, install xposed module and freeze (not delete) some system apps, will I be able to update over OTA to Lollipop and so on after UNROOT, Disable xposed, unfreeze system apps?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruudyG2:
Thank you, (and also the chap above).

That sounds fine to me. Whatever is the most stable would be best. Is there many things missing on these types of ROM's or have they all been ironed out? I started reading a few of the threads but they are monsterous threads starting months ago where things like chromecast functionality was missing.

I'm hopeful that i can get going with this root tonight.

Also on a slightly different note, i've noticed when charging that by leaving my charger in for a while after it reaches 100% the battery lasts longer than if i take it out at 100%

Seems strange and goes against typical advice right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjitheman:
Hello everyone,

Hope this is the right place to put this - I'm sorry if it isn't.

I've got a G2 and recently had to have the screen replaced after stupidly dropping it on the floor. The company that did it were awful, but anyway, after several bodge jobs they got there in the end. Only trouble is now my phone won't charge when turned on and when I have charged the phone and want to turn it back on, I have to spend up to 20 minutes pressing the power button at different angles etc before it boots up. I thought it may be a problem with the power button but it seems to work fine when locking the screen or powering it off. Also, there are some random occasions when I do get the phone back on that the battery display will show 100% even if I know it can't be (e.g battery was 10% and I charged it for 15 minutes).

I would take it back to the company that did the screen but they refunded me and became right idiots about it so I'd rather take it elsewhere or fix it myself if it's something easy.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Due to the downgrade the JB Kernel gets installed. About the differences: I can't really tell you. Yet it is impossible to unlock KK Bootloader and that's the main thing. About other differences you probably have to ask a dev like autoprime or cloudyfa....

Theoretically should, but no guarantee.

Well. On AOSP many things are "missing" (even if most people don't really miss those features). For example IR blaster (flashable .zip, and it works again), q-slide, 3-finger-swipe for multitasking, etc. The stock based ROMs usually have built in all those features.

It's like that, because those features are closed source and LG has the copyright. So AOSP devs can't add them.

If a ROM-Thread has started months ago, most bugs are usually gone. As rule of thumb, I'd say, after one month most major bugs are gone. If you are not sure about things, ask in the appropriate thread or use the Thread-Search-Function.

I could observe that 100% battery thing too. IMHO it's kind of a bug/bad callibration. But you won't damage your battery...

Just ignore RAM consumption of apps. Best on linux-based systems. If the RAM is needed, Android will clean up on its own.

Great!

That's because the Bootloader downgrade and the Kernel downgrade that comes with it. You can simply reflash the KK Kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2680948) and you should be fine again. As alternative you can flash any stock-based customkernel.
