If anybody wants to be a guinea pig for the CM12 alpha, let me know. Assuming everything goes well (no lockups or things broken) I'll PM you a link to a build in the upcoming days. I just want to make sure we don't run into a strange case where it works on my device but bootloops everybody else's phones (this actually happened a few years back when I was working on CM for a Samsung MP3 player, luckily I sent out 2-3 PMs so hundreds of people didn't simultaneously bootloop)

Just be knowledgeable about backing up and restoring previous backups in the event that it does bootloop or fails to boot for some reason. Also if you know how to obtain logcats and kernel logs, even better

You know you can always count on me for flashing the unknown.

I'd love to help.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
As it stands, the only thing I know isn't working 100% is the camera when using the stock AOSP camera. Using Google's camera from the play store works fine. I believe this is due to the fact that I had to mix and match some proprietary blobs from Kitkat (because our modem, more specifically the sensor blobs from our modem are from Kitkat still as we don't have official Lollipop yet). Because of this, the Lollipop camera blobs aren't happy with the old Kitkat sensors blobs, and sometimes won't take pictures with the AOSP camera.

As for things that I could not test, that would be NFC and most BT functionality. I was able to stream music to a BT player and send photos to one of my old devices over BT and NFC, but that's as far in depth as my BT and NFC testing went, so report back to me.

Still no lockups yet, which is very promising as the average time between lockups was usually anywhere from 10 mins - 2 hours, and I've been lockup free since around 10PM last night.
[Verizon LG G2] 4rsenal:
Would love to help out with some builds and provide feedback.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Count me in as well.I've been on every build of yours since day one why not continue.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
I'd love to test as well.

Is your build based on 26a? I'll have to flash that bootstack over the 12B that I'm on now for this other cm12
[Verizon LG G2] xttapolatakettle:
I'm also willing test alphas. Take me to the abyss!
[Verizon LG G2] Sully9663:
Why not just post the build in this thread with the usual at your own risk? Not saying put it on post one but just in a reply.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Although the Verizon side of the forums is much cleaner and has less bawlasses then ROMs that support all devices. The fact still remains that there are some.

People don't care about disclaimers. They hit fastboot and its all omgwtfbrickedmyphone.

He's just trying to stop the headache before of begins lol
[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
I would also love to help.
[Verizon LG G2] Nickodarius:
I would love to try it. What radio version do you recommend for the alpha? 12b is pretty bad imo
[Verizon LG G2] gorm:
Understand the bootstack, modem, bump process. Would enjoy testing this alpha ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
[MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] I wanna test too ?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Woah, my XDA account blew up overnight. I was just looking for a few people to test the CM12 Alpha a few hours before I linked the build here to make sure it isn't bootlooping or whatever (in order to prevent a hundred simultaneous bootloops), I didn't expect this many responses! I guess I should have specified that

I'm gonna cook up a fresh build now and message it to the first 2-3 people who responded either in this thread or by PM yesterday. Then if all goes well, I'll post it here this afternoon
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Honestly, your builds have represented a quality and dedication that was sorely lacking on the g2. I know that I trust whatever you release, even if it isn't perfect. I love that there are a lot of new choices for roms, but almost none of those devs were active while official cm was in bork territory. Personally, i can't wait to try this one out.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
So far working great but then again it's only been 5 minutes and I'm still restoring apps. Installed open camera, which is working fine. I'll let you guys know if I get to use it with car Bluetooth later. Thank you so much for putting this out.

I will say I was on the 27a bootstack and had to downgrade to 24a (didn't try 26a) to install. I got some sort of install error with the newer bootstack.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Do you remember the error? I don't ever recall there being anything blacklisting the new bootstack

Did you initially try to install the CM12 build over another ROM?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
26a boot stack works fine for what its worth.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I'm sorry i don't remember exactly. it was something about system folder.

I was on xbs g3 port for vs980 prior to this, but I did a full wipe before trying to install yours. Possibly because I was bumped?

I installed the 27a radio with no issue so I guess there's no reason to install 26a bootstack.

All apps installed and still running great btw.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Why am I not surprised to see you here. I installed 24a because I couldn't remember if my copy of 26a was from xbs g3 port thread. See bumping question from above.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=2640499]koftheworld[/MENTION]

G3 bootstack changes your bootloader to 4.4 and gives you a bumped twrp.

4.4 blocked Loki so you can't flash anything but bumped roms

You need to flash the bootstack from his stock 2.3 thread as none of the current 5.0 ROMs can be flashed via bump.

And of course I'm here. I did get an early invitation this morning lol

And correct. If the 27a radio works, there's no sense in using 26a
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
That's kind of what I thought and why I flashed the 24a bootstack (xbs) that I knew would revert me to nonbumped.

You're awesome as always. Btw the xda app keeps asking me to sign in every time I reopen it.weird.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I'm not having that issue. Try using ROM toolbox to wipe cache and data from the app, or try uninstalling and re installing
[Verizon LG G2] noll5326:
Upgraded over CM11 and working great so far. However, I don't have Smart Lock under Security settings. Is it available for anyone else?
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Coming from 12b lollipop, I no longer have rotation along with proximity. A couple pages back you mentioned deleting the sns.reg, I tried it and it made a new file but the issue still persists. Should I go to 12b and then delete the file, then go to 26a? Also, I had the same issue on the cm11 snapshot. Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Yeah was super strange.I just wiped data and cache using built in app area.So far it's working fine.
[Verizon LG G2] mattskent:
I'm in the same situation and am noticing this as well. It appears that none of the sensors are working.
[Verizon LG G2] sgravel:
Check if it's enabled under Trust Agents in Security. Has tripped me up on other ROMs.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
You said you came from 12B but did you ever update your modem to KitKat?
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
I just flashed xdabbebs 26a bootstack, I thought that includes the KitKat modem?
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Is this the 26a bootstack from xdabbeb's thread?

Sent from my LG-VS980
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I have a feeling sensors are goofy like they were when we first got 4.4 sourced 4.4 aosp.

I'm going to assume flashing a stock ROM then letting it boot up will fix it.

I'll give it a shot as soon as I download one.
[Verizon LG G2] noll5326:
That was it, thanks! Trust Agents was empty the first time I looked there. After updating to the Lollipop Google Play Services to get rid of its error, I didn't think to look through all the Security options again.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
What does it say under Settings->About phone->Baseband version?
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
It says the baseband is VS98026A
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Mine says unknown.Is that because I flashed the 27a radio over 24a bootstack?
[Verizon LG G2] OptimaPrime:
Coming from 12b to 24 or higher you have to flash a stock style ROM to get the sensors working again and then wipe and reinstall the ROM and everything should be golden.

Can someone one point me in the direction to find the 27a radio?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I don't think will be a problem unless things are broken

It has to do with the fact that some new modems don't export their baseband version
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
So far entire rom is working great.unknown baseband label means nothing to me lol.i'll update when I use nfc and bluetooth later.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Correct. I reflashed the bootstack simply to get the 26a radio, and flashed xdabbeb 2.3 and sensors are working as usual.

So anyone with the issue needs to reflash stock like it was when we changed source months ago

@jackpotclavin

After running this the better part of the day, I say congrats.

This is far from an alpha. The battery life seems on par of not better than other 5.0 Roms that have been put for months.

CPU seems to run much cooler than 5.0 kernels, and it charges nice and fast off the wall outlet which for whatever reason some Roms gice e issues with, sound is not blastingly loud like other kernels, so I have no need for sound control like I do on other Roms.

Can't wait till you get back in the swing of things. Only thing o hope for is cm to add nav bar dimensions and this will be perfect.

Once my taxes are done I owe quite a few g2 dev donations, and you fine sir shall be receiving another one from me.

Awesome work man
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
i was on the on the original cm12 build based on the 12B modem. i just flashed the 26A bootstack and then this rom and it booted up perfectly!

thanks soo much JPC!

P.S. its been a great weekend as Xposed is now available for ART devices as well!
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Flashed xdabbeb's vs980 rom, turned rotate on and it worked, so I then flashed JC's cm12 and rotation and proximity now work. Thanks lawlrus for the tip!

I've also noticed that apps like to force close themselves when in the background, such as if the device was low on ram. I realize that this is a lollipop issue, but I haven't experienced it nearly this bad. SoundCloud for example randomly crashes, home launcher has to redraw a lot, if I go to a previous tab in chrome it needs to reload often. Its odd since settings reports that I have around 1gb free usually. Besides that, awesome rom, charging seems faster and battery maybe a little better, can't tell just yet.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
just realized as a result of this that my rotate and prox sensor do not work. going to restore stock. then restore the backup i'm creating. should fix the problem i believe.

edit:

works now after restoring stock and then restoring the backup i made
[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
How's GPS for everyone? Specifically those coming from 12B. I went to a stock rom before installing to fix sensors, but I think I should have gotten a GPS fix, too. Any input?

EDIT: Made a nandroid backup, flashed stock, got a fix, wiped everything, installed this ROM again, then restored backup. All is well for now.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
I flashed the 26A bootstack, newest TWRP, flashed XDAbebb's ROM. Signed in, downloaded Maps and was sure to get a good lock. Weather apps locate me just fine. But Maps constantly FC's. Anyone else get that? I'm gonna grab a log.

Edit: Here's the log [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggi3rgpwe1xd1es/2015-02-14_19.11.zip?dl=0

Another edit: I reflashed the ROM, this time without V4a, I think that may have been the culprit actually. I read somewhere it was causing issues for some on Maps.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Definitely right about the screen redraws. I'm not sure if it's a Lollipop issue or the ROM or maybe both. Can anybody who has used another Lollipop ROM on their G2 comment if redraws and crashes due to low mem are worse on the alpha CM12?
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
If anyone edits their mixer path for louder volume I would appreciate a copy. The ring tones and notifications are a bit quiet.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Fyi nfc works fine. Used Google wallet twice tonight with no issue.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
I've tried a bunch of lollipop ROM's and they all have a little bit of a memory issue, its a known lollipop issue. However, the memory issue hasn't ever been as bad as it is on your ROM. It seems to have its moments where it comes and goes, where if I go home the launcher redraws and when I go back to the app that also redraws. On other L roms, I've seen the launcher redraw a few times throughout the day, but this ROM redraws the launcher a lot more frequent. So definitely yes, the memory issue is worse on this ROM, but its the only downside I've seen to far. For being an alpha, this is a quality ROM. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Hey guys, I can confirm the new build doesn't wanna flash on the new bootstack. It errors out when it gets to the loki part of the install script. This was on blastgator's 2.8.5 twrp on a completely stock 27a install rooted with stump and then I used micromod's bumped freedom tools to get the initial recovery. Trying again after flashing the 27a bootstack from micromod, maybe it could help? Idk.

Edit: Nope, same deal. The full message is this:

assert failed: run_program('system/bin/loki.sh") == 0

Then in red

E : Error executing updater binary in zip ' /data/media/0/sideload.zip'

(Yes I sideloaded it, but it threw the same message before when it was on the sdcard and it was still the cm12etc.zip)
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
It seems like those 27A bootstacks everybody is talking about that error out during installation use the new aboot that has patched loki, but use bump instead to be able to run on the new bootloaders. If that's the case then you'll have to downgrade your aboot to 12B so you can patch bootimages to run with loki. In the future I'll probably make it so it can use either bump or loki depending on which aboot you have
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Yeah, I tried bumping it myself and separating the install into 2 zips, one with the boot.img (cus there's already a template for me) and then the other one with the rest of the system files (edited out the loki pieces of the script), didn't work though lol. I don't edit scripts all that often.

Edit: Also I'm kdzing back to 27a as I type this, if you need someone to test a bumped version of the ROM just let me know.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
On a related note... Anyone know how to get root back on this rom?

Update: while back on cm11 I flashed updated binaries... And I'm back in root land.

Update 2: cm12 and no root.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Settings>developer options> tap root access and choose from there.

Also, about the memory issue, since the settings apps measures the ram as being fine, think its possible that the redraw issue might be an issue with cm?
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
So thanks jackpot for the amazing work!!!

But I'm a little confused.

The new alpha version of cm12, will this work with xdabbeb's 26a bootstack?

I'm currently running that bootstack but have blastgators new twrp but that I did see that I wouldn't be able to flash using that recovery.

Sent from my LG-VS980
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
That'll work b/c xdbbeb's 26a isn't bumped unless you specifically went for the bumped download.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I didn't run cm, but several of the other lollipop roms and it's definitely not my usual experience on LP. But only that and the quiet sound seem to be issues for me. Well, I'll be flashing stock for sensors as well. Very impressive, as Lawlrus said, measures up to all the betas!

I downloaded the cm12 alpha, and surprise surprise, it sticks at loading screen. I left it at initial boot for almost 40 minutes.

Flashed xdabbeb's 26a bootstack first, then the rom and gapps. I'm now trying to kdz/tot back to stock to see if that can fix my slew of problems I've been facing lately, but having trouble with that too (no detection in download mode). If anyone can pm me and see if they can help figure out what my issues are that would be excellent!
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
Anyone else not getting all your nav buttons? No matter what I do only the back button shows up. No functionality works for the missing buttons.

Also.... Lost root.... Anyone?
[Verizon LG G2] heleos:
For the root question , look 5 posts up from yours
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I flashed xdabbeb's stock G2 rom and let it set up and auto rotate. Then restored lollipop backup but still don't have rotation. What did I miss?

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
This didn't fix the root issues. Not sure what else to try.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
The restore might have undone the fix, so I'd say to flash xdabbeb again, and this time do a clean flash of cm12. I did exactly that and fixed it for me
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
So I reflashed the bootstack and that did the trick. I was ready to do a clean flash of the ROM. Glad it didn't come to that. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
What just fixed it was going stock, clean flashing lollipop, let it go through setup, then restoring backup.

27a and how to

I was among the flashers that wasn't able to get the 27a to work as I use Loki... So how would I get to bump? Anything I need to flash? Not sure how to do it
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Next build (should) have these sensor incompatibilities resolved. I'm looking for to fix this hyper-sensitive low memory killer issue right now
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Jackpot said he'd probably add bump support in a later build, either wait for it or downgrade to the jb bootloader. I tried bumping it myself but failed, it would be considerably more involved than flashing an extra file. you'd have to bump the boot.img and edit the scripts correctly.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I think I've fixed the hyper-sensitive low memory killer. Interestingly it's the same patch that I had to cherry-pick for the CM11 way back in April; I guess LG chose not to merge it for some reason. I'll cook up a new build tomorrow morning that in it, as well as a for broken sensors, and I'll sync up with the latest CM source too.

Wow you work fast :D

[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
What exactly do you mean regarding the low memory killer? I haven't noticed any apps closing quickly after use...maybe I'm just not paying attention.

Fyi bluetooth streaming worked in my car just fine.I haven't made a call with it yet though, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Just to reiterate my prior post, your responsiveness shown above is exactly why you are an a+ dev. You're definitely my favorite dev on the g2.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yeah I was going to state that as well. My old lady got me a Bluetooth speaker and its working flawlessly

And I'm not having any issues with it being on with WiFi that some people seem to have in 5.0 builds.

Also [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] I haven't experienced any screen redraws at all. I use apex if that matters.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Thank you so much for the explanation.I haven't seen any screen redraws either, but maybe i'm not taxing my device. I guess I'll be doing another clean install tomorrow lol.

Madeb some headway on the navbar issue. I did a fix permissions in the recovery. Then I flashed the ROM again. The nav bar returned to normal. Then I flashed pa gapps. Back to the goofy navbar.

I use banks gapps.

Does everyone's lock screen say Verizon or Verizon wireless? If I do the dialer thing and dial *#*#4636#*#* and tell it to use the us band my lockscreen says Verizon wireless.

I've been using the CM12 Gapps with no issues

I cooked up a new build and uploaded it. Should fix the low memory killer being too aggressive and a few other fixes (sensors not working for those coming from other non-KitKat modems)

In the OP there's a link to a post that has more information on it. I'll shift this thread towards CM12 in the upcoming days once these builds are 100% bug free and start adding the builds to the OP like I did with CM11

Has anybody tried making a bluetooth call yet?
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
So I think I've found the issue with the nav bar. It has to deal with those one time startups that happen when you start up for the first time on a new device. For some reason, when I install the ROM, everything is fine. I flash the gapps, everything seems to be okay until I reboot. Then I lose the home button and the recent apps button, much like you'd see on those first time boot up walk-throughs. Still haven't got the issue to permanently go away.

Update

And then I set up Google now and the bar goes back to normal. I'm just lost on this thing.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I'm sorry, thought I'd mentioned that. BT calling working in each instance thus far. Car and earpiece both. After restoring backup of stock rom then the backup of this rom, auto rotate works. Going to flash the new build now, thanks!

FYI - Flashing 20150215 build on top of 20150214 caused constant force closes with the logcat complaining about tons of missing classes and null references all to Google applications. Reflashing gapps fixed it. Seems it removed some thing/things it shouldn't have.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Flashed new build over original. Also flashed minimal gapps, SuperSU, and my add-ons after, wiped caches, rebooted. All is good. Opened several apps back to back, seems like the redraws are fixed.
