Matty- your data has been solid lately? I'm having issues which I think are somewhat similar to what you were going through recently. I actually had stayed on a build from late April for almost a month, when I upgraded to 5/25 I found the device had lost activation somehow. In the SignalCheckPro app it was showing I had a strong signal but "unregistered" device, so wouldn't let me use data. And of course there's no way to activate from CM.

I thought I had fixed it by flashing the stock rooted ROM (which by the way I think only works if you wipe system first?), activate, update profile & prl, and then restoring my April CM-gee backup, but the data went out again this morning the same way. Fixed it again (for now) with the same method

So I'm not sure what the story is. I'll report back in a couple of days it the data sticks this time, but it's weird, I'm kind of fearful of updating the ROM now. It was really stable for a long time and now I'm back to not knowing if my phone will work when I pick it up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Data has been solid, just seem to not have the strength (at least in the amount of bars I had) as stock.

Ever since I did a wipe & LGNPST back to stock & back to CM, been good.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Anyone try enabling ART on these latest builds? I have never attempted to use ART yet, am curious if it's worth it in these daily builds
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Haven't been on CM since 0510, but ART worked for me when I enabled it. Pretty sure it still works with the newer build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
ART should work fine; There was a problem when I first started building but it has cleared up.

Check post #2 if you run into trouble.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Thank you again Mikeex for keeping this ROM up. I don't even touch the official version now. This Gee one is more responsive to me and runs more smooth. Good work ! :)

I usually only run Stock or Cyanogenmod, with a hint of Madhi every now and this. This is my go to for Cyanogenmod. I don't see why they do not use nexus 4 or "Gee" parts for the official. It runs so much better!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
+1
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Sorry guys. Life gave me the joker card over the weekend. I'm pretty screwed here.

I can't put out new builds for the foreseeable future.

All I can do is get someone to take over.

I'm in dire need of employment.

I'm in the west Phoenix area if there is someone who can offer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Sorry to hear that man. Wish the best for you. Thanks for everything you have done so far. Go handle life, we'll figure it out here. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Bummer dude, what is your field?

I'm in North Glendale by you, but haven't looked for work in a couple years, so not sure what's out there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Sorry to hear that. Hope you land on your feet, and quickly.

I was unable to fix my data issues, right now I'm back to using stock rooted with a black status bar xposed tweak and roboto font mods. Stock is faster than I remembered. But incredibly Google Play Music is still broken on the LG firmware.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
OK. Things are starting to look up. I just had a very stressful week.

I'll see if I can push a 4.4.3 build when cm sources are updated. But my internet is limited to tethering for now.

Thanks for your support guys.

Releasing this ROM gives me a sense of pride and I look forward to continuing when I can.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
cool man, not sure what I can do to help, but if I can, I will.

can't wait to see what 4.4.3 has in store!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Fresh new 4.4.3 build up for grabs.

I probably won't be doing nightly, but I'll try to get them out as often as I can.

I've dirty flashed this myself but you're free to go clean.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Thanks Mike!

Hope things are well with you
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
My man is back on the beat! Hope all is good with you, homie. You've been missed around here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Great news!! This is the only ROM that works flawless for me. I flashed other 4.4.3 builds but restored my CM 11 nandroid because this thing is a beast! Can't wait to flash the latest update tonight. Thanks man and hope everything turns out good for you!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] artlan:
4.4.3 Rom works great for me so far - haven't been able to give it a full run for it's money till tonight but love it right now :)

One note - if anyone else uses the Franco kernel for it, need to use the MOD one if upgrading to 4.4.3. Normal one gives green boot animation then blackness.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] wheels00000:
Anybody else having 3G-LTE switch issues on the latest version? Mines working great except for that. Just switched from official CM11.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
might need to go back to stock to update your PRL or something???

It's been fair, isn't as good as stock, but there's not much LTE here in Phoenix, so I haven't really noticed.

Sometimes I have to toggle airplane mode for it to kick in, but that's basically all custom ROMs in my exp
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Yeah I've been having that issue across Roms but cm11 gee gives me the least problems. Once in a while I have to toggle airplane but usually its OK.

BTW I dirty flashed and enabled art and working like a champ.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Fresh clean 4.4.4 build is up. :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Thanks man!

do you recommend a clean install, or is dirty flashing fine?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Oooh nice! I love me some security updates. I'm gonna dirty flash. I'll report if I run into any problems.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I flashed it dirty with no problems

Technically CM 4.4.3 already had the security changes, this is just a number bump + nightly CM changes

Right now I'm adding a security patch to the kernel. I didn't have time to add it until today. building and testing the changes ATM.

To my kernel buddies; I wouldn't recommend merging the changes from my repo until I know they work.

Seems to work. changes will be in next CM build.

Kernels uploaded. links in OP updated. let me know if everything starts falling apart :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] wheels00000:
I must have messed something up data wasn't switching 90% of the time and airplane mode did nothing, only thing that would fix it was a shutdown and then reboot. I'll try it again tonight. Loved that Google camera worked. Battery life was better than official cm11.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
So on the latest build. Go to settings-> notification bar and enable heads up! Its like PA's peek. Supposedly it was hidden code in AOSP that cyanogen just found.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
I enabled peek, is that the google notifications pop on the screen for a bit?

kinda neat, startled me for a the 1st couple times...

But I haven't found anything I don't like yet in the new builds, seem the same good things as before.

Nothing broke that a reboot didn't fix (seemed a one-time thing, not even worth mentioning).

Anything really new NEW in this build that I'm missing?

Still Google Camera squish, but still no a big deal to me...

Thanks again Mike!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] x_justin:
Great build! Your latest MatrixMod kernel and this ROM on ART make it very usable. Batterylife is good, about the same as stock. One thing which is excellent: GPS. Imediate 26 satellites with 8 sats fix! Less than 5 seconde!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I was having this problem too after the recent version jumps. I would lose data when jumping towers.

Make a recovery backup of your ROM.

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.

Flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2536636

Update PRL, update profile, get a strong GPS lock (GPS status & toolbox app)

Restore recovery backup of CM.

Additionally, hopefully you unlocked with freegee and have an EFS backup that you can restore. This is very important and you'll want to have copies everywhere.

It worked for me. Tower jumping works again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] prowlingfox:
i'll do this too and see if it works. I was starting to get really frustrated with this issue.

btw, airplane mode DOES work, it just takes about 30 seconds for it to take effect. Once you see "no service" on the QS tile and toggle airplane mode again data comes back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
ya man, sometimes you just have to do that...I put of doing that for a while, and if you go back a few pages, I document that's the only thing that worked for me. Plus the phone is better for it!

It's just something that one has to do every so often since we're on the fringe with these beta ROMs
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
I used the instructions in the op to change the build prop to restore my efs with freegee and data switching seems much quicker. I haven't had to toggle airplane yet since I did this yesterday.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] prowlingfox:
I tried updating the prl/profile etc and I'm still having data issues.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Grab this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo

Run this app. Scroll down to the additional information button, go into phone information. The preferred network type should say: LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)

If it does. Tap the menu button. If you see "enable data connection" tap it.

Or try switching between CDMA only and LTE only and seeing if that option appears in the menu for each one if they don't connect.

Weird stuff but this helped me earlier.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
If anyone is interested in screen casting to your Chromecast; This will enable casting with the new Chromecast v1.7 app.

http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

It works amazingly well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Don't get to test out Chromecast much on my phone as we only have the one in my daughter's room (just for netflix really), and I haven't been inclined enough to buy another.

As for your ROM, thanks again for keeping this up. I've dirty flashed nearly twenty times now & still no troubles.

Most solid ROM I've ever used!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
Quick question. Is 4g working on this ROM yet? I did not work for me the last time I tried it. I think that was M2 or 3.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I think you might be asking about the official ROM. Shelnutt2 had pushed a fix for 4G a while ago.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
It's never not worked for me.

I did have the whole no-data thing that's semi-prevalent in CM ROMs, but flashing back to stock, updating PRL & getting a GPS lock, THEN do a fresh unlock/flashing worked just fine. It took some time, but if you do it on a lazy weekend while doing yard work or something else...you don't notice.

It has been solid for 2mos now, dirty flashing ever since.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Wrong button. Whoops.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Again, wrong button. Updating post #2.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] x_justin:
I came from PA back to this ROM because I feel the battery time is about 2 times higher. Its a solid and bug free ROM!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] m4dbra1n:
Hi [MENTION=1380002]MikeEx[/MENTION], since I've seen you got your own repo for the matr1x kernel used in your rom, would be difficult to you to add zzmoove governor?

I was using it on my old i9100 and seems to work quite well with the right profile :)

In case, how can it be difficult for a newbie on building like me compile your kernel on my own?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'll look into it when I have time, but no promises.

And to compile yourself... I use the toolchains that come from the CM repository, I'm not sure where to get them alone...

And a Linux distro... with all of the build dependencies for CM11:

sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev ccache openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre

I have the following script and run it from a terminal navigated the root of the kernel source directoy. which for me is "/home/mike/aosp/kernel_msm/"

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/mike/aosp/cyanogenmod/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.7/bin/arm-eabi-
make gee_defconfig
make -j4

The final product ends up in "/home/mike/aosp/kernel_msm/arch/arm/boot/zImage"

I take the zImage file and copy it over "matr1xMOD-cm-gee.zip/kernel/zImage"
[Sprint LG Optimus G] m4dbra1n:
Great, even just for a try too I think it can be a good governor, instead of the defaults one, even if it's for a dual core exynos cpu like those on i9100.

Thanks anyway, and if I'll be successful to load a fully-working environment with virtualbox I'll give it a try ;)

Keep up the good work! Even if I've tried your rom and now I'm using Carbon, I've to say your kernel is the most stable, cooler and battery friendly tried 'til now ;)

PS: sorry if I'm stealing it for another rom :P
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
New build up. I had to delay for a complete clean compile. Enjoy!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
just in time for the weekend! Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ERAUguy:
Originally was using ls970 rom, currently trying this one. I wiped all except internal storage, then flashed the latest cm (gee), the ak_xgenesis mhl mod kernel (gee also), and gapps. The kernel completely f'ed up the display: everything was huge, pixellated, and either green, yellow, or magenta. I flashed without the extra kernel to isolate the issue. I thought that kernel was compatible?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
You need to use MOD versions of kernels. The mixed up colors and junk are a straight indicator that that is going to be your issue.

If you got AK from this thread then there is a mod version. gearslam has in in his google drive.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2744380

EDIT: just realized you said you used MOD version, try the non mod.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'll look into it. The problem is likely up steam cyanogenmod, I haven't touched the device sources for a while.

Edit: I can't replicate the issue. AK_XGenesis GEE MHL MOD works fine for me on today's build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ERAUguy:
Whoa, hold on. I just double-checked to make sure of the kernel, and I realized I accidentally downloaded the non-mod kernel. I was specifically looking at the mod kernel, then inadvertently clicked download on the wrong one. Jeez, I feel dumb now. Sorry for the confusion, and will report back after flashing the mod kernel.

EDIT: The kernel works perfectly. Super-smooth too. Scrolling is fantastic!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
If any one wants to do some testing, I pulled the adreno firmware from the stock kitkat ROM and egl files from the nexus June update.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567714824

Antutu before: 21595

Antutu after: 21897

Benches run with CPU & GPU governors at performance and thermal limit at 80 with included matr1x kernel.

I'll put them into the repo If all goes well.

To revert, just flash the ROM again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] m4dbra1n:
They works on carbon too, thanks ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
I guess CM removed the Heads Up feature? Because I totally can't find it anywhere, lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
you should be able to find it in Settings: Personalization>Notification Drawer
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
I don't know, man. I think they removed it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
You're also missing Quick Settings Panel options... Maybe you have a remnant from another ROM?

Or they removed them long ago and I just have remnants from dirty flashing forever.

This happened before on official when sources were changed to gproj,

I had the torch tile forever until I clean flashed... had to nudge Shel to copy a commit to re enable it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
I have quick settings panel options, and I always clean flash every single ROM I flash. Maybe they really did remove it, or something.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Probably...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Top notch. :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
Chromecast issues

Has anyone else had issues with Chromecast and YouTube? Previously on the stock rom, everything worked fine. However, on CM11 when using youtube with the chromecast it does not work correctly. I have to disconnected and click play then reconnect. Its very very annoying. It also has problems staying connected. Other apps seem to work ok, but they also have problems staying connected. I know it has to be CM11 because it was working fine on the stock rom.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cyraxx84:
Is it normal that the gpu never clocks to the possible 487? Because would like to try out for gaming but it seems that it never goes over 320.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
7-26 build seemed to have trouble playing any media from apps that relied on system decoders.

I recommend updating to 7-28.

If you get systemUI force closes after updating just reboot. It should clear up.

No build today, I'm out of state tonight.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
I thought it was crashing because of the new Chrome beta, thanks for the heads up
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
I'm still getting crashes, site has video, but not sure if that's the issue. latest was this page:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ric-cantor-majority-leader-farewell/13406933/

I tried the 7/30 build...same thing
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'll get a new build out tonight, but the problem is upstream CM. I think since they added ffmpeg stuff.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
okay cool. Was solid for MONTHS until last weekend
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
That web page crashes my phone. I was running 7/30 and having various issues already but yeah upon closing that page the screen went black with only the status bar and completely unresponsive.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
yeah, same with the 8/2 build too...guess I'll just avoid web video until CM fixed the issue
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Damn I was hoping a full clean build would clear it up.

I think I need to back out some ffmpeg stuff. Unfortunately I'm away again so no build for 8-03.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
I mean, is there an alternative then? Or will it just be the way it was prior?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'm not entirely sure it will solve the problem but it's a good place to start.

The ffmpeg stuff was just a gap filler for codecs some phones don't have decoders for. I just plan on backing out the ones we already have hardware support for.

I'll do a lot of testing when I get back
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Thanks again for everything mike. This ROM has been my daily driver for a while now. Appreciate your work!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Thanks again man! Solid work you've been doing
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
I have a very long 8-10 second delay between when the phone starts ringing on an incoming call, and when the screen turns on. Sometimes I miss the call because of this. Is there a way to reduce the time it takes to wake the screen on an incoming call? Other than this this has been a solid daily driver for me the last 2 weeks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I switched to QCOM power HAL for 8-06 build. Hopefully it will help this problem

As for USATODAY video crashing, I've tested it through and through. It's not ffmpeg doing it. The only thing I can get from logcat is an out of memory error killing everything.

Is it only this site though? All the sites I frequent work fine.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
Thanks for this! I dirty flashed this and the one test I did worked great. Will continue to test this throughout the day.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
Today it took 8-10 secs again. Seems to happen when in deep sleep.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Maybe the change didn't integrate. I'll make a full clean build tonight; .

Other than that; does this happen on other kernels or gee ROMs?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'm having a much improved wake up time on my end. Please try today's build and let me know. It's a full clean build.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
Sure thing. I'm currently driving across the state towards my vacation. I'll try it out tonight and let you know.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JManekia:
Whats the recommended kernel for this rom? I've been running it with default kernel and it's been pretty stable, but more performance can't hurt
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
I personally like the built in matrix kernel.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alediniz:
Any gee mod kernel. I like MirageMOD​​, due to stability and battery life.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
I've been running the 8-10 build for a couple of days. The wake up time is still about the same for me. This morning it managed to wake up so I could answer it, but it took a little bit.

That being said, this build is overall much better. Other things that were quirky are not anymore. I'm running the built in kernel. I'm using interactive as my governor, SIO as I/O scheduler. Do you think this could be my issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Use TricksterMOD and try bumping the voltages two steps on the lower CPU speeds.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
I'll try this and let you know how this works.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elvyrorie:
I'm still getting the same result. Do you think I should try a different kernel maybe? I'm running xposed too. Do you think that could be my issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I've experienced it without xposed before. I'm using default kernel settings myself.

IO Sched: ROW

CPU Gov: ondemand

min: 288

max: 1512000

Max screen off: 540000
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'm going to start dating the thread on releases. As you can see I've been building less every week.

I'm not in any dire situation like last time. I'm not going to stop building or anything; I'm just away more often.

Aug 28 build is up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Matty77:
Thanks Mike, don't take lack of replies as a bad thing, i'm still loving this!

Take the lack of replies as a badge of honor in that you're not having any/many issues
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
Of course! :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alediniz:
Thanks [MENTION=1380002]MikeEx[/MENTION]. Is there some planning to update Matr1xMOD kernel?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'm definitely going to look into JustinXu's update.

I've just been traveling too much to get it done.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'm also looking at Jolla-Kernel.

It includes features from Matr1x as well as many other kernels and Jollaman is constantly updating it. It's also much faster compared to my kernel.

I recommend giving it a try.

AnTuTu scores:

Matr1xMOD: 21897

Jolla-Kernel: 26893
[Sprint LG Optimus G] m4dbra1n:
Hi MikeEx, if it can be useful take a look here and on future [MENTION=2533313]faust93[/MENTION] sources: he ported stock kk camera drivers and spit out a test kernel with them. Tried, found it a little unstable but I noticed an improvement on camera side ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55107322

Regards :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
I'll keep my eye on it.

---

I've decided to stick with Matr1x for stability's sake.

So I've compiled a MOD'd version of JustinXu's updated Kernel.

GEE - Sprint/International

GEEB - AT&T/Canada

Everyone has the option to choose their kernel anyway so I'm adding the other kernel links to OP.

And I'll make a full clean ROM build overnight.

Edit: build failed. they merged a fix right after I started building. I'll try again tonight.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Thanks mike! This ROM keeps me going with this phone!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alediniz:
[MENTION=1380002]MikeEx[/MENTION], I tried Gee version, but had several Facebook FCs. Back to the your previous version (06/2014) and everything ok. Anyone else had this problem?

Can you make a MOD JustinXu's updated version of Mirage Kernel? It has few adjustments, but it is extremely stable and battery friendly.Thanks :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeEx:
are these crashes right away or within minutes of opening facebook? is it actual facebook or messenger app.

For now try clearing all of facebook's data from "app info".

Most importantly, did Wi-Fi work after flashing the new kernel?
