Thanks for all the work you've done JPC. If I knew how to make ROMs, I would totally take over. If you have any suggestions on where I can learn, I would be more than happy to keep this alive. Thanks again and good luck with whatever endeavours you have in the future ??
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Ditto, this ROM is near perfect, very fast, slim, and stable. It has a few minor quirks like Pandora not playing and MMS laggy, but otherwise I love it. Thanks again for you and XDABBEB breaking the 24A code
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Are there any other good ROMs based on the 4.4.2 OTA leak?
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Not yet. Jackpot really put a lot of devs to shame with how fast he got an AOSP ROM working. dr87 is getting ready to release his full 4.4.2 build of Mahdi, however.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
To add to this, I've heard heuston is working to get paranoid android on 4.4 but from the sounds of it, is having a lot of issues.

[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Bummer.

So, to use other ROMs I have to flash back to 12b. If I do that, will I need to go completely stock again in order to get back on 24a?
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Just need the 12B revert zip that xdabebb has in his 24A ROM thread. Then if you want to use a 24A ROM, just flash the 1xx to 24a zip.
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
[

Thanks. Got xdabbeb_vs98012b_bootstack.zip to go back to 12b. Assuming I can just flash xdabbeb_vs98024a_bootstack.zip to get back on 24a
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
That second zip you listed is the 24a ROM itself. If you're on the 12B bootstack, you'll need the 24a bootstack before flashing the 24a ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Wouldnt xdabbeb_vs98024a_v1.0.0 be the ROM? That is the 1.7gb file I downloaded. xdabbeb_vs98024a_bootstack should be the boot stack.

So, I should be able to go between 12b to 24a by just flashing xdabbeb_vs98024a_bootstack or xdabbeb_vs98012b_bootstack....?
[Verizon LG G2] Cerealkillah:
XDABBEB's bootstack lets you install 24A (or go back to 12B), but you need to flash his rom to be on 24A. Once you flash his rom, then you can wipe and install JPC's CM11. Well, that is my understanding :)
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Ah, ok. So flash xdabbeb_vs98012b_bootstack (41mb) to go back to 12b and to go back to 24a, flash xdabbeb_vs98024a_v1.0.0 (1.8gb)
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
No. There's two bootstacks in his thread. There's one for reverting to 12B and one for moving to 24A. They are literally right next to each other. You flash the 24A bootstack and then you can flash the ROM.

Sent from my LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Ahh, ok. Both bootstack files are roughtly the same size. The ROM is the 1.8 gb file.

If it was that easy to go from 12b and 24a, what was the need to flash back to factory?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
dr87 has his Mahdi Rom based on KK in beta testing currently: rotation (VS980 has rotation), vibration, and camcorder broken, but all else seem to be working well. Check out the LG G2->G2 Android Development forum (nonspecific to Verizon or any other providers) :good:
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
So, there is no hope for a real CM 11 based on 24a? I think our maintainer bailed out.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
"Bail" is a strong word. He's taking a break for now. He's hoping some other dev would step up and take over CM11-24A. Mahdi-ROM is AOSP and close to CM11 if you want to try.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
He's referring to our official cm maintainer. Who has basically moved to mars
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
He's so scarce, no one even k new he was there hahaha

Houstonn has posted a beta build of Paranoid Android based on 24A or KK source for most variants of G2:

http://91.hostingsharedbox.com:3000/houstonn/houstonn/

Works well for my VS98024A except Pandora is still borked. SMS/MMS, Netflix, and Google Music work fine though

dr87 also posted a beta build for Mahdi Rom for all variants including VS98024A, but vibration and camcorder are reportedly broken (not sure about Pandora as I've not personally tested yet).
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
On Mahdi Pandora works fine for me, but I think MMS is broken. SMS seems fine though. In addition to what you mentioned
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Did you try Google Camera app in the Play Store? May be camcorder works for that app. I'm sure dr87 will fix MMS and other issues. These are very early builds for all devs so bugs are expected.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
That one doesn't work either. But like you said its early. Luckily we have some great devs working on the G2. ☺
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
Yes. Indeed you'll see that 13MP in camera settings. I just feel the quality isn't that great.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
So is this version a ton better than the currently nightlies? And if I get on the the 24A baseband... how easy will it be to get back to the nightlies?

I'm just nervous to take the plunge.

[edit] minor setback... no windows... how do I go back to stock without windows?
[Verizon LG G2] :
Help, I can't kill my battery! :)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
That's ridiculous.

Sent from my Vs980 Running Xdabbeb's 24a
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Yea my battery has been pretty terrible recently
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Not easy to do without windoze, IMHO

You can flash TOT back to 12B or flash 12B baseband to go back to the regular CM nightlies if you want, but not sure why as 24A is so much more stable, fast, and efficient (better battery duration). If you do make the jump to 24A, make sure you flash the fix to repair "download mode" or you won't be able to TOT or KDZ restore your phone (laf.bin file needs 12B to restore download mode due to partition issues).
[Verizon LG G2] Chuckleb0ne:
How is the latest build running? Was thinking about trying it out.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
No longer maintained. Read the thread to see what the responses to the builds are, and flash the most stable.

[Verizon LG G2] Chuckleb0ne:
Would be awesome if someone picked this project up. Gonna try to find the golden build in the rubble.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
With cm not merging 4.4 source yet, I would assume its a pretty large undertaking. The Mahdi build is running excellent for me, if you're looking for something active.

Once cm merges the changes then cm based Roms can just cherry pick the code and the forums will be flooded with new builds.

I'm on 4/5 build. Runs great. Just FYI....
[Verizon LG G2] Chuckleb0ne:
Do you happen to have the link? Been searching around for the right links.

Edit: Nevermind I got it.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
4/18 link from mega is working, but the download says "temporary error, retrying."

any ideas? someone have the zip?

Thanks!

As you can tell 36 hours later (some work and sleep in there) I get this thing done!

[Edit]

I take it that TiBu is a bad idea? I restored apps+data.... cyanogen bootloop.

[Edit2]

Apparently when you wipe system/data you get rid of your root? wtf?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
I would only restore apps not data via TB

yes. you have to reflash SuperSU or just download and install from play store
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
I threw myself into a little panic. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon LG G2] annoyingduck:
Cm uses open source super user. Enable root in developer options or flash super su

-VZW LG G2 VS980
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
When I wiped the data, that's when I dorked up the root settings.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Never restore data or system apps.

Using it just for regular apps is okay

Superuser is a pain in the ass for me. I always flash the chainfire SuperSU zip, ( Google it ) because it plays better with apps.

Flash the zip. Download SuperSU from play store. Open it and update bionaries, then reboot

Did anyone figure out how to avoid SMS notifications (at least using stock Messaging app) coming up again after you've already clicked it/entered the app? Happens every single time I get and read a text now.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Nope I have this issue using 8sms Nd stock messaging app
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Happens to me. If you click home or back after you read the message, it goes away. Also, if you click on the notification again, it will go away.

More stock ROMs coming out and probably wont be long before a non stock ROM comes out with these issues fixed.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
So it seems the general consensus is that the 4/5 build is the most stable. Are there any outstanding bugs on this build?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
4/18 has been perfect for me. zero issues and ART works too
[Verizon LG G2] just4747:
So it doesn't have the random freezing and even sometimes rebooting that the 4/12 build had, that caused a lot of us to go back to 4/5?
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
I had been running it since it came out, no major probs that I noticed. I don't think ART was working, but I don't really use it anyway.
[Verizon LG G2] just4747:
Welp 15 minutes into running the 4/18 build, I am already getting random freezing followed by SystemUI crashes like I did on the 4/12 build. That's disappointing. Back to 4/5 I guess....
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
Those freezes and crashes are probably because of the new theme engine that was brought into nightlies around April 10th. Those first few were known for that.
[Verizon LG G2] Cerealkillah:
I have been running the 4/18 build for 3 days now and not a single crash, hang or hiccup. Darn near perfect for me. Seems to be working well for others too.

Hopefully you can track down what is causing your problems! :cyclops:
[Verizon LG G2] theArthur:
Has anyone encrypted their g2 using this build?
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Don't. Ever do. That.
[Verizon LG G2] Gigatrig:
YES! Just with the Google Camera app though. My stock camera works fine.
[Verizon LG G2] Benny879:
When I upgraded to the 4/18 build the flash issues went away
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
So I'm assuming when CM11 catches up, we'll be able to dirty flash those nightlies?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
yes. ....if
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
That's okay. I mean.... someday we hope? But if not, unofficial has been better on the G2 anyways.

[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
I've been getting some SODs and freezing from this build. i heard it may have been caused by the theme choose so i ran Titanium backup and froze anything theme related and rebooted.

ill update in a few days to see if it makes a difference.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
not sure what that could be related to. i dirty flashed the 4/18 build over 4/5 and even tried a theme out on it. have had zero issues. ::knocksonwood:: every phone is different though

hmm - mine froze again...i reenabled all the apps i had disabled and so far so good..we will see how long it lasts.

Finally a really stable build! The only thing I noticed wrong was choosing Interactive governor would force reboot the phone. Everything else looks like smooth sailing. Awesome.
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
i've found on demand to be smoother anyway with ART
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Has everything been compatible with ART on the 4/24 build? As in there are no app issues, FCs, etc.?
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
as far as indivual apps crashing, nope. not at all.
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Any other issues you are aware of? Or downsides like battery life?
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
na...seems solid. only bad things i experienced was what i listesd above about some SODs and system freezing but i flashed the newest build and re-enabled all disabled apps and so far so good.
[Verizon LG G2] vx2ko:
Should this solve the SODs and roaming issues?
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I haven't had an sod since I installed. I haven't seen a roaming icon yet, but that might not mean anything.
[Verizon LG G2] vx2ko:
It seems like that would be the only practical use for this build is the stability that everyone has been wanting. These were all kernel related issues right?

This area is what tripped me up, but got it working with this. Thanks!

Is there any harm in restoring an nandroid backup form someone else who has done the process as long as they skip the activation and havnt downloaded any paid apps? I was thinking of doing this just to post a nandroid but I dont know if it would bork peoples phones.

Pretty sure the SODs are gone and as far as the roaming that was related to CM merging the moto g(the multisim bullsh*t) which I'm pretty sure is fixed

How do we got back to different ROMs bluetooth not working correctly?
[Verizon LG G2] StevenInMichigan:
Any more news on running roms other than CM? I haven't seen it mentioned since this post. Do you just need to replace the boot.img that comes in the rom's zip with the boot.img from step 7, rezip, then flash?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I just tried to do this so I know it works:

You must install the 12B modem (just the modem is necessary)

Then you can install an official build

You can download a the modem from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/12B_Partitions

Note: your sensors might be messed up in doing this (orientation and proximity), so the only cure I've found is to delete the directories under /data/misc/sensors and /data/system/sensors then reboot

I'm sorry I never found out about the bluetooth issue until today, or I would have posted about it in the OP

There might be some truth to this. I had thought that the roaming bug was causing the 3G, but upon reverting back to the 12B radios and installing an official CM build, I have full 4G now
[Verizon LG G2] justinglock40:
I need more detail for that. I just tried to go all the way back to 11A but my phone doesn't show up under ports like it did the initial time so I can't start over. I would like to get back to 24A, but I forgot to make a backup . Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

IS there a flashable version of the 24A available?

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Thanks for your excellent work Jackpot! Just donated $5 each to you and XDABBEB.

[Verizon LG G2] xlxfoxxlx:
Yea I can confirm the Bluetooth and 4g problems as well so guessing its back to 24a for now but amazing work on this man.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
What's the easiest method to get back to 24A if you don't have a backup?
[Verizon LG G2] BrianTDI:
Make a nandroid backup of 24A in TWRP before you flash CM11.
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
I'm actually not on CM. I'm on stock 24A with the newly added recovery. When I added the recovery, my signal strength went down.
[Verizon LG G2] BrianTDI:
A custom recovery has nothing to do with your signal strength.

Don't judge something as volatile as signal strength over the matter of a few minutes.
[Verizon LG G2] wryun:
I would like to get rid of CyanogenMod's April Fools sheep ringtone, but I assume flashing the latest CM11 4/2/2014 nightly on top of this will undo the work [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] did to make CM11 based on the vs980 4.4.2 OTA.

Has anyone been able to get rid of the sheep prank with the build [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] gave us?
[Verizon LG G2] sefirosu0522:
What does your response about a matter of a few minutes have to do with anything? Also, See JackpotClavin's response. Signal was fine all morning until I flashed.

[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Oh I guess I meant specifically with ART. I've just heard conflicting reports on battery life compared to Dalvik.
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
i feel its the same or better battery life with ART and no crashing of apps

edit: plus ART is smoother and things are just more responsive and launch faster.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
NovaLauncher and Jishnu camera mod do not like ART libs for me on this ROM. They work fine for Dalvik libs. Trebuchet works fine on ART but not customizable like Nova. Otherwise ART works well in other respect.
[Verizon LG G2] ppeklak:
im running nova prime on ART with no problems.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
May be I need to update my Nova as I'm on an older version :good:
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Cool. Good to know ART is running well. What has been your (obviously subjective) experience with battery life, [MENTION=5803877]HueyT[/MENTION]?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Battery life is better on ART than Dalvik by just a little. AOSP in general uses less battery than stock. I also underclock my LG G2 to 1190 top and 422 bottom to save battery and everything is smooth as silk. I don't run any CPU/GPU intensive games/apps to need quad core 2250 power (or even overclocking for some folks)

I just updated by Nova to 2.3 and it works fine with ART (2.2.2 did not)
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
That's a good idea. I'm not into intense games either, so I'll probably dial it down a little.

Thanks for the input! This build had been fantastic.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
What kernel are you running?
[Verizon LG G2] DroidOnRoids:
Yeah I want to know as well because the stock Cm kernel for some reason doesn't want to lock different frequencies other than stock clock speeds.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Stock JackpotClavin's kernel as there is no AOSP kernel avail for 4.4.2 base. Most 4.4.2 based kernels are for stock type ROMS (SimpleKernel V5, Dorimanx 4.2, XDABBEB's linaro kernel). Other avail AOSP kernels like dr87 v7 is for 4.2.2 based AOSP roms only.

I'm trying this rom. The turning off Wi-Fi before enabling Bluetooth- do I have to do that just the once if I leave then both always on (as I do)? I'm getting frustrated with Wi-Fi turning itself off when just going into the Bluetooth settings, to add a device for instance.

24A OTA

Has anyone flashed this ROM after taking the OTA? What I would like to do is to take the OTA to get to 24A all clean and easy-like, then use ioroot25 to get root back. Would the subsequent steps regarding download mode/recovery be the same as in the OP? Can anyone think of a reason why this would be a bad idea?

Thanks, OP. Your work seems like it could be the fix to many of my frustrations with the G2.
[Verizon LG G2] Jatisogi:
Most would just say to read back the threads but I had to poke around a lot of threads before I took the plunge.

I was coming from the official CM11 nightlies.

First do every back up you can. Current rom, data, and especially efs. Especially EFS! And move it off the phone! I use FreeGee to do this.

Then do the TOT return to stock 11a. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

Then take all the OTA all the way to 24a KitKat.

Next use IOroot25 to root. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869

Next install the apk AutoRec to install TWRP. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

You don't have to do this but I lost GPS lock when going to CM11 after the previous steps.

Install any stock based rom like Malladus. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475852

Use GPS Status and Maps and make sure you get GPS lock. This somehow carries over into CM11.

Now just install this rom.
[Verizon LG G2] RoboJoe:
I'm just asking to be "that guy", but I'm assuming it would be a very bad idea to take the CM nightly update I was just notified about, right?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
