Very nice CM11-24A build. Everything works for me. Great job JackpotClavin :good::good::good:

Since this is 24a can I flash it over a stock 24a rom?

The 5-4 snapshot is the first version I have run of this but I've run into no problems. I specifically checked out Pandora and BT just to see if the disclaimer in the op was true and everything works for me. Nice to finally have aosp with no sod.

Anyone having trouble getting GPS lock? I even tried the old standby of flashing a stock ROM, obtaining GPS lock, then flashing back to CM.
[Verizon LG G2] Chuckleb0ne:
Any battery drain on the latest build?
[Verizon LG G2] z0mghii:
Anyone dirty flash 5/4 over 4/30?
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Probably shouldn't, this build is from the stable branch. The nightly code is newer than the m-builds and flashing old code on top of new could cause instability.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
You're right about not wanting to mix old code with new code, but they're about the same time period. I made a build on May 3rd with May 3rd code (just for my phone), and installed the M build on top of that May 3rd build and no problems here. If my May 3rd build isn't causing any catastrophic failures, the April 30th build should be fine, hopefully :P
[Verizon LG G2] stelthy77:
I dirty flashed last night and everything is running great.

I did have to cycle the Bluetooth and WiFi as noted a few pages back, because of some battery drain.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Battery drain should be fixed now if you forget to cycle the WiFi FYI. Your WiFi may momentarily drop, but should return a second later without having any battery drain
[Verizon LG G2] stelthy77:
Thanks, I must admit that I didn't confirm the drain was from the wifi/Bluetooth bug. I just had a lot of battery eaten (~5% in 10 minutes) after installing the update. I went to sleep after power cycling wifi and Bluetooth and today battery life is back to normal. (Normal Battery = great!)

Thanks for working on this for us!
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I'll start off with saying that I'm not a huge cm fan, but this is by far the best working 4.4 base ROM I have used, and I've used them all.

This is the only build that does not send my phone into a signal crash destroying battery as the others have.

Anytime I am at work, with the weak signal it would constantly lose/regain signal over and over, crashing my keyboard or anything else I had up at the time.

Only been running this for about twelve hours or so, but the battery life seems to be on par with the other betas.

Thanks a lot for the build [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] , I was beginning to worry none of the 4.4 builds would be a Daily driver for me because of that signal issue.

Same here! I can't get it to download.
[Verizon LG G2] bL33d:
Kinda asked this earlier but read op again so double checking do you have to go threw all those steps to flash this if ur already on 24a bootstack.

[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I wish I knew what's causing the MMS issues. I personally have no problem with sending or receiving. I should mention that I use the stock MMS app, but when I switched to Talk my MMS also worked so I can't debug if I can't replicate the bug :/

You had no MMS issues with official CM11 I presume, and it just started with this ROM?
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Yeah this is a strange one. I have had MMS issues all the way along using both the "Messaging" and "Hangouts" app. The "Messaging" app does seem more reliable for me, but I did get failures to send and receive using both.

Question for you, JPC: would it have something to do with not having all the official KK OTA files? I used the Malladus method to go from 12B to 24A (which was simply flashing his zip to simplify your steps in this thread). So I was on a stock-based KK ROM before coming to your custom CM11 builds, but perhaps the select few of us having MMS issues are missing something that would require going back to stock KK?
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
The build for 4/18 works just fine. It is just the one after. Office CM worked fine before I switche over. I dont get an error or anything...just hte photo never sends. Stock messaging app.
[Verizon LG G2] annoyingduck:
How did you go about getting to 24a? Official, or zip method? I'm not having the mms issue at all, working great here. Been on 24a since the leak...

-VZW LG G2 VS980
[Verizon LG G2] nitsua98:
I used the ota method, then the steps in this thread's op to get recovery, and I still have MMS issues. More specifically, it's that when WiFi is on, 4g turns off and takes a while to turn back on, or doesn't turn on at all.
[Verizon LG G2] Sully9663:
Anyone having MMS issues see if this helps.

[Verizon LG G2] EvilDobe:
This link is only for SMS messaging so it won't address MMS send failures. Excerpt from the article:
[Verizon LG G2] just4747:
Anyone know what is causing the flash using any camera app to be way way too strong/bright? Have tried stock camera, Google camera, and Camera JB+ and the flash completely whites out the photo every time.

Been this way for a few weeks now on the builds.

Any fix?
[Verizon LG G2] Cerealkillah:
Throwing my 2 cents in on the MMS issue. MMS works for me on both WiFi and 4g. I won't pretend to know why. Here is what I do know:

I got to 24A via XDABBAB's bootstack and rom .zip installs.

I clean flashed the 4-5 build.

I dirty flashed 4/18.

I dirty flashed 5-4.

I don't know if any of that is helpful, but wanted to throw that out there just in case.
[Verizon LG G2] soapinmouth:
So is there anyone from cm working on an official based in 4.4 or is that just a hopeful

This has happened about 5 times since owning this phone!
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I personally wouldn't believe it. Kk handles signal reporting differently (shows lower signal) then previous versions. I've seen the same visual thing but my connection has been the same. I think the stock kk rom has been tweaked to show the higher signal strengths. I think there was an article on droid life awhile ago about this.

My device has 4g signal. Have you tried going into mobile networks and switching from Global to Lte?

[MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] Awesome job on this without people like you we would be stuck on stock =). Recovery working great on my end.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Lol maybe j/k. I can't speak to that, but I can say I immediately switched my network to lte after flashing.I haven't seen any 3g handoffs at all even in low coverage areas or interior locations.
[Verizon LG G2] justinglock40:
So i flasheed 12B radio and installed a different rom but only gets 3G but if i go back to this CM11 I have LTE any ideas?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Right now I don't know what to make of the 4G issues. It's definitely an issue though. If I flash back to 24A stock I have 4G, and then if I install this CM11 ROM, I have 4G, but after rebooting just once, I lose all 4G capability and I'm stuck with 3G. I'm trying to figure out a pattern for why 4G is okay only sometimes, and just absolutely missing at other times
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
Quick question. If I had my phone since last September and I never took an official ota ever and only flashed custom roms do i Still have the original aboot? Or is that something that gets updated through flashing the 12 base roms?
[Verizon LG G2] justinglock40:
How do I get back to 24A if I didn't make a back up? Or how do I get back to 12B

2) And with that if you are not happy with the Development being provided freely, you can take up Development yourself.

^^this is why I don't run CM anymore. While I'm grateful that they are able to get AOSP working on our phones, they're lack of attention has made me lose a little respect for them.

In my experience MMS works well right after a clean flash, but as time goes on, the failures start occurring. *knocks on wood*
[Verizon LG G2] Enigmafied:
Stability

How stable is this rom?

I am getting sick of phone rebooting randomly, often at terrible moments in the day. Ie. Right when phone starts ringing from a phone call.

I'm also tired of waiting for CM to respond to/fix these issues.

I guess I'm saying, I'm more than ready to switch!
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
It fixes the SOD issues with CM11 based on the JB drivers/kernel. It's worth the upgrade if you wanna run CM11, just follow the baseband updates in the OP first.
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
If you dont have time or want to go thru all the steps in the OP, try the Paek Kernel on the offical CM11. I had several SODs per hour and with the Paek Kernel, only one every few days.

Mahdi has a nexus 5 audio base now with the 4.4 source base. Worth looking into incorporating into this if you want better/louder with cleaner code sound. [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION]

This is the first time I've been on cm in months. More or less flashed it out of boredom. Either I'm lucky or something but I have zero issues. Literally everything works flawlessly. the shocking surprise is that bluetooth for my car is louder and more clear than it was on stock. It's only been a few days so I can't attest to battery life. But I'm really impressed.

Fun fact. The g2 xposed immersion mode works well and if you use the ge launcher and turn off Google now, you get all the function of Google now with out the battery drain.

[Verizon LG G2] RetributionSK:
If you tried installing anything except 24A in the first link it will not load properly, If I remember right Carbon rom went back to a jelly bean base so you would need to install a 12b radio to make it work, though I was under the impression that only rotation would be broken, I could be wrong.

Did you back up 24a after rooting it?

Just about everything seems to work fine, but I can't encrypt my device (it's a mandatory exchange policy at my company). It boots to the "Encrypting device" screen, but is stuck at 0% complete (I've waited hours).

Has anyone been able to encrypt their device using this ROM, or have any pointers to get this working?

[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
You upgraded your bootstack to 24A, you need to stick to roms based on the 24A source or downgrade your bootstack again. If you wanna try CarbonRom, bigshotrob22 has been posting beta's based on 24A in the thread, don't use the nightlies. It is recommended you install a stock 24A rom first and make sure you can get a GPS lock and your sensors are working before installing this.
