That is old news. It is absolutely fine to do that on Verizon LTE phones nowadays. It's been like that for about 2 years... It was after the GNex came out for Verizon. But simply dialing a number will not cause any issue with the SIM cards now.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Camera FC

Not sure if I ever opened the camera in the 6/19 build or not, but it appears that CM recently switched back from the Google camera to their old, familiar camera. If you're getting force closes when trying to open the camera app, try wiping the app's data. If you're trying to open the default CM camera, but it's reading settings from the Google camera, it gets all confused and quits the app.

Uploading a new build based on source from the nightlies dated cm-11-20140622 (changelog here)

It is 4.4.4 (not that there are any real changes from 4.4.3 that you will notice)

It also includes the Heads Up feature
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
Has anyone gotten the new Email app to work properly? Any tips like clearing data or moving the apk to a certain location? Any help would be great please. Also, I am about to install the newest "Weekly" Update from [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] and see how bad a$$ this is now! I'll update shortly!
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I haven't had a problem with it. What's it doing for you?
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
The "Updated" one that was only downloadable through for Nexus devices and some GPe phones. I sideloaded it and it's not quite playing nicely. I am just trying to keep the apps the same across my G2 & N5.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
No idea about that. First I've heard of it.
[Verizon LG G2] jeston:
I just installed the new email apk and the exchange2google apk and used TiB to freeze the old email and exchange apps. It's been working just fine for me.
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
Mind posting the apks please? I just tried a Google2Exchange.apk and it didn't work. Or should I just pull the one from my Nexus 5? I appreciate the help!
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Still getting REALLY weird issues with the Google Camera from Play Store. It won't even install. It only started happening since the 4.4.4 bump, though. Going to back up all my apps and try a full wipe and fresh install on the ROM

--- Update ---

Wiping data and doing a clean install did the trick.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Great work JC.

This is my daily driver (6/22/14 custom build for 24A). Smooth, fast, cool, lean, mean, battery miser, and everything works. :good:
[Verizon LG G2] jeston:
I used the apks from my Nexus 10. You can also find some links in the comments here.
[Verizon LG G2] nhakobian:
Update: Problem solved. It was the SIM card, as everyone suggested. Thanks!

The Verizon guy said something interesting. Apparently this has been happening a lot recently and most people notice it after taking OTA updates. Something the updates do fries part or all of the SIM card. Apparently its been a real problem on Apple devices (especially after the latest iOS update), but its been happening frequently with Android devices too. What in the world are they doing during these updates!?

Installed the latest build (6-22) too and everything seems to be working great! Thanks everyone for your help.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I'm guessing here, but I wonder if they are invasively checking for tampering (root, for example). I know the My Verizon app will request root privileges now. Not like any of us are going to allow it.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Just to clarify, I'm not asking someone else to do it. I just want to know if the mods are proprietary or if they can be adapted.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
I've seen the my Verizon app request root privileges now as well, I was like wth!?
[Verizon LG G2] darker_slayer:
Sorry to ask what seems to already been stated, but I just wanted to clarify that this works just fine ??

Update all the way to 24A (is there one past 24a yet?)

ioroot or towelroot

autorec

nandroid

flash any of the source zips linked in the OP (14th update)
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
There is no valid reason that Verizon's app should be asking for root privileges, unless it's trying to see if you're rooted. If it's a system app already installed on the phone, it will have them automatically. If it's a user app, then it means you've got a Verizon phone that doesn't have it already. The only reason I can imagine that you'd be installing it on a Verizon phone as a user app is if you're running a custom ROM that doesn't include it. I would think that the app itself would be able to tell if it were installed in /system/app or /data/app a bit more subtly than that.

Actually, I have no idea why it would need root privileges in the first place.
[Verizon LG G2] soundgirl101:
:highfive::good::cool: Thank you Random Pooka for fixin' "blonde moment"!! :o Installed F50 cam port, so far no issues!! I always uninstall "My Verizon" app, exchangin' sim cards is painless, store peeps only need your sim card for exchange, they don't need to "see" your device, they'll ask you to power off, remove sim, recode new sim, ask you to power up device and verify service, tell ya it takes a few to "settle" and send ya on your way!! I couldn't get "new" sim card to activate, so I took "old" sim card from Razr Maxx and put it in instead, no issues, and can verify insane downloads on XLTE!! :highfive::good::cool:
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
Newest build is working perfectly except for MMS. Normal texts and hangouts send fine but any MMS message sits in "sending" status for ten minutes and I don't receive ones from my wife until about 50 minutes after she sends them. Full signal too.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Personally, I'd skip the autorec and go adb the Loki'd img, but yeah.
[Verizon LG G2] ronnyek:
Can anyone else confirm problems with sending or recieving mms?
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
That was the reason I went back to a stock based ROM. I know not everyone has the issue but I couldn't get MMS to send reliably.
[Verizon LG G2] 1fzfe:
I checked this last night. I successfully sent and received both picture and video mms. This was via the hangouts app. I did not try with the stock messaging app. I'm running a clean flash of the 06/22 build. Hope this helps.
[Verizon LG G2] ronnyek:
I installed latest and notciting lte coming and going quite a bit... full bars... then nothing.... then a little bit later, back to full bars
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
It's working for me but just takes a while. I came from a clean flash of the latest build and used the hangouts app. I was in the same room as two of my friends (all on Verizon) and I was receiving MMS messages about 10 minutes after them. It was also taking a really long time to send any from my phone.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Exactly my experience. Mine was actually a group message and it would not send.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
mms seems to be working fine for me
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
Do you know when people are sending you MMS messages though? If my friends weren't sitting right next to me receiving the same message I would have had no clue I was getting them so much later.
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
I noticed if I was on Wi-Fi it would be a pain for me to send MMS. I'd have to turn it off and restart the phone and send it again.

I fixed it by turning off Battery Saving while on Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi Advanced settings. And it works great now.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Nice tip! I'll look into that herein a second to see if I have the same issue and if the fix works
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I made a tweaked mixer file that gives a boost to speaker volume and headphone jack volume.

If you copy it to /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change permissions to rw-r--r-- with any root explorer type app, then reboot. Be sure to turn it down a ways, then back up to the value you prefer. YouTube videos and music through the Play Music app are no longer super quiet to the point that I can't listen while I cook dinner.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jtks51smiqhze4w/mixer_paths.xml
[Verizon LG G2] ronnyek:
Le sigh... I don't know what it is... I always tend to get 1 bar.... MAYBE 2 bars. Does this ROM just report signal less? I typically get full bars where I am now.

Had a couple little quirks with dialer calling but then not showing interface to hang up. Subsequent c call was fine.

Pretty smoking quick!
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Thanks for this. I came here looking for this exact thing and it was the newest post. ?

Finally decided to give this rom a go. I am a die hard aosp fan but the stability of Xdabbebs rom kept me there. It's nice to be back on a stable cm!
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Glad I was able to help
[Verizon LG G2] Xyriin:
I'm looking at moving to this CM11 build after getting tired of the official nightlies.

I've been using CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.4. I notice everyone mentions TWRP but is it impossible to use CWM Recovery with this ROM? I actually started with TWRP on this phone but ended up preferring CWM so have been using it for about 6 months now.

Second question for clarification as I'm only finding references of it while searching through this thread.

As I'm coming from the CM11 nightlies, can I simply do the following...

1. Flash XDABBEB's 24A bootstack zip (xdabbeb_vs98024a_bootstack.zip)

2. Reboot back into recovery

3. Full wipe, flash JackpotClavin's build & gapps

It seems to me that flashing XDABBEB's ROM would just be an extra step that isn't needed if one plans on opting for a different ROM in the end.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Yes, you could do that. But the step of xdabbeb's stock rom involves using the rom to get a GPS lock. There are some things that does that last after full wipe and new rom flash that will improve GPS. Up to you. But simply flashing it won't help, you'd need to go through setup and get the GPS lock too.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Its not just getting a lock. If you don't flash a stock ROM after using xdabbeb's method, your rotation and sensors will be goofy.

If you use jackpotclavins method, it is my understanding there is no need to flash a stock ROM first.

[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Do the devs plan on working to port android "L" once cm does all the hard work getting it on the g2? If that's how the process works?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
What is "L"

Sent from my Vs980
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
IDK - JC's method as written up in the OP is to install the 24A OTA update and boot fully. And to allow that, you had to already be on one of the stock 11A / 12B roms.

Now that there are other options to get to the 24A baseband, I think the new way to do it if you're already coming from a custom recovery should be like this:

Follow XDABBEB's guide here to upgrade your baseband to 24A. You must already have a compatible recovery, like TWRP 2.6.3.3+.

Continue following the above link to install XDABBEB's 24A "Stock" ROM, then boot it up to perform whatever voodoo is required to make GPS & rotation work properly.

Reboot to recovery and then flash JC's latest build from this thread.

I'm about ready to do this on my phone, coming from official CM11 nightlies. I'll let you know if my phone melts or anything. I wonder if maybe the instructions could be updated in the OP?

Thanks to all who are making this possible.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=5598914]steeltkb[/MENTION]

I used xdabbeb's method and the stock ROM needed flashed to put the sensor and rotation information in a place that just flashing the modem in twrp does not do.

Using jackpotclavins method, as I understand it, escentually simulates pushing the entire ota onto your phone so its as though you had flashed a stock rom, where as xdabbebs method only updates the aboot.

Or at least that's what I *thought*

Sent from my Vs980
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
Well, "Step 4" of JC's method in the original post requires you to boot stock & get GPS and everything working. Whatever the exact mechanism, a stock[-based???] ROM has to be booted for you to be assured that your GPS will work. I've had to nandroid back and forth several times since the beginning on regular CM nightlies for this reason.....
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
The new major android release, 5.0. Today at google io they showed a decent amount of it. They said tomorrow they'll release the developer preview for the nexus 5 and 7. The public release is this fall. I'm just wondering when we are gonna get our first taste
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Once someone builds it for us. Can't count on cm to maintain anything for us

Sent from my Vs980
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
This is how I updated my phone to use this rom. The reason you have to flash the stock based rom is because lg built the sensors into the radio. Good luck and happy flashing!
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I still don't see what good running a stock rom and getting a GPS lock will do. Flashing any rom wipes system. If you're changing roms, you're going to wipe data and cache. These things will erase anything you got from the stock gps lock.

Until someone can find something in the internal SD that retains gps info across roms, I'm calling this bull. It's got that same feel as the old "wipe three times, just to be sure" recommendation.
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Any idea why 4k video doesn't work on aosp? If the hardware supports it, how hard can it be to make the software? Also, GPS worked for me rarely on this rom. I have to agree with randompooka, flashing a new rom wipes everything, so getting a GPS lock and flashing to aosp just doesn't work.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I've never had GPS on this phone from the get go, so I can't comment much on it. But it seems like a phenomenon lol.

I've told people about getting a lock on stock before flashing aosp since back when we were on 4.3, and for whatever reason it seems like more people report fixing it then not.

Sent from my Vs980
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
All I can say is it happened to me when I first installed CM on two different VS980s - CM10 on one, CM11 on mine. No GPS. Nandroid back to stock, GPS lock acquired, Nandroid back to CM, GPS fine. I remember that I wasn't able to wipe the cache, that was the only difference.

It's not BS - if it happens, you cannot get GPS signal no matter how long you wait.
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I always feel that it has something to do with the gps module being activated recently that triggers it working...talking out of my rear on that though.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
I think for good measure we should base off our fresh new vs980 source for kernel :D yessss source releases make me happeh

[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
As for the *228, I talked to a Verizon Level 2 Tech and he told me to do that on my Galaxy S4 last year. I even told him "I heard it was bad to do that on a 4G phone." He said they had fixed the problem around the time of the Galaxy S3 and it is fine to do it now. This was around July or August last year.
[Verizon LG G2] flyinj54:
Seriously are they still testing? It's all about the money with them. My opinion they aren't releasing because of HTC one release. Like I said all about the Buck. Galaxy s5 delayed release same reason. O well that's life can't blame them! They got the towers so they can rule the air?!! Lol
[Verizon LG G2] mrchambo:
True dat.
[Verizon LG G2] datsyuk:
So I can basically push the 24a update to my phone, and run IOROOT25 now? Will it be funny to get a recovery on there or no with the new IO now?

Also do the new CM builds on this have broken 3G and cause roaming still????
[Verizon LG G2] jasondowning85:
Nope. If you read the thread, you'll find that there are NO issues, it's 5x as fast and it'll serve you a cold beer too.

May have to designate some time and tackle this tonight then :good::good::good::good::good:
[Verizon LG G2] jasondowning85:
I was joking... it was a hint to go back and read the thread as your question has already been answered a couple times.
[Verizon LG G2] datsyuk:
Haven't been following this :( lol I'll take a look then
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Yep. There's been a lot of rumors and stories and misinformation shared in the forums - mostly people quoting others, and even some vzw csr's getting it wrong. Very persistent, especially a year or two ago...

*228 is a US OTA "feature code" that should retrieve an updated PRL (preferred roaming list), setting up priorities for towers to connect to, carrier roaming partners, etc.

At the time people experienced problems and the rumors about it destroying SIMs started, the function was apparently fetching PRLs optimized for 3G phones. 4G phones were supposed to request an update (if needed) to the PRL in the phone on boot, or the carrier could push it.

Behavior has been different in various situations. For example : traveling from the US into Canada, the official VzW directions were to do a battery pull once in Canada, then, on boot, dial a 5 digit code (I believe it was *22938) so Telus would send their own PRL info. But returning to the US, it seemed to be automatically updated.

Anyway, VzW has confirmed that this should not damage a phone. I'm not sure, but if an incorrect PRL is fetched, I believe a battery pull / cold boot will correct the situation for a 4G phone on VzW.

Worth checking your PRL version before and after any experiments. We used to see this phenomenon consistently on the VzW GNex.

You can check your currently loaded PRL : Settings, General, About, Status - PRL

[Verizon LG G2] justinglock40:
I tried that but the phone doesn't show up as a serial port on my computer. It did the first time, but this time around it's not working so LG Flash tool doesn't see it.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
This is not bull. There are several areas on the phones internal storage that wiping data, system, and cache doesn't touch. Back when everyone used CWM recovery you could select mounts and storage and you view several random partitions lg put on this phone. That's why we have so little usable storage on this 32 gig phone.
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
As reported by [MENTION=2774696]**** Ripple[/MENTION], this processed worked like a charm. I just have to figure out why Google Keyboard from PA Gapps 6-20 is crashing...
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Try clear app data/cache
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
Yeah, that didn't work. Someone on the PA Gapps thread this is caused from booting up prior to installing the keyboard/GApps, so starting over and trying that. I booted this ROM before I installed GApps.

Will report back, thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
What about replacing AOSP keyboard with Google keyboard manually? (ie; remove AOSP keyboard APK and replace it with Google keyboard APK, then changing permissions and rebooting)
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
Well, PA GApps Stock removes AOSP KB during install, so that's not something I could have tried before.

Anyways, after full wipe / reflash ROM, PA GApps / wipe caches / reboot system, I am no longer getting any keyboard force closes!!!!

Moral of the Story: Like I always do, but for some reason didn't do this time, always flash GApps right after flashing the ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
First plausible explanation so far
[Verizon LG G2] KayIslandDrunk:
Did this work for you? My MMS still has issues regardless of this setting.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Mine works either way.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
My mms works fine. I always use hangouts and never have wifi on. Gotta love unlimited data.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
The issue in question is MMS not sending while WiFi is on, so there's probably very little chance that you would encounter a problem with it if you don't use WiFi.
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
So, this ROM/baseband combo is really all that it's cracked up to be. Awesome job! Before I switched, I was having the low signal redraw issues like crazy, signal would turn on and off every two seconds until you rebooted. Went away as soon as I got [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] 's ROM installed. No sleeps of death yet, either. Thanks for the good work!
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
I've had MMS issues for a long time. On Jackpotcalvin's ROM and Carbon. Same issues as everyone else, randomly send and receive. There is no explaining why some vs980 users have zero issues with MMS and some have major issues. It's my single biggest problem with these Roms.

I don't use MMS too much so its not too bad.

I'm thinking I need to flash back to stock 24a, then send and receive MMS, then flash back. Anyone else with MMS issues want to try this first? Ha!
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
That IS the magic answer to all of life's problems, apparently.
[Verizon LG G2] Cerealkillah:
I don't think you need to go all the way back to stock, just back to ROM based on 24A stock.

I NEVER had stock. I flashed a modified version of stock 24A and ran it for a few days. I got tired of LG's cluttered interface and flashed JPC's rom and it has been smooth sailing ever since.

I don't have GPS or MMS issues...ever.
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Hey JPC and everyone else! Loving everything about the 6/22 build and this ROM in general. One feature request that may or may not be impossible or just downright dumb to ask: could we get PA's Hover added to a build of this JPC goodness? It's the one thing I miss from PA.

Again, I understand if that request is one that will never happen, but I thought it was worth asking. Heads Up just isn't as polished, especially since you can't respond directly using hangouts, only the messaging app. Thanks in advance either way! :good:
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
It will open hangouts if that is set as your default text app.
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
Yes, but it won't keep a floating window for you to respond within another app. Upon clicking a hangouts notification, it takes you to the hangouts app, therefore leaving the app you were in. In other words, there is nothing actionable within a "Heads Up" hangouts notification. At least that has been my experience. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
[Verizon LG G2] fixxxer0:
I had GPS issue on my first loading... had to go back to stock and relock and reflash... then it worked.

I thought i didnt have the MMS issue either... but the other day someone put me on a group mms text and was making plans for the evening. needless to say i got 5 phone calls of why am i not responding am i coming to dinner blah blah blah...

im telling them i have no idea what they are talking about i didnt get any texts.

then i left the house out of wifi range and i got about 15 messages at once.

but aside from this, not a single sleep of death... awesome battery life with typical 5 hours screen on time in 32 hours.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Blacklist Hangouts from HeadsUp, as it doesn't support reply from notification. That's why I don't use Hangouts for sms/mms
