Just follow my instructions. No need to go to official 4.4.

[LG Optimus G Pro] viewtifuljoe71:
In your opinion [MENTION=4481869]Neroga[/MENTION] is this rom better than other 4.4 roms like Carbon? Or are they about the same.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
AOSP is better for emulators which is something I play often. Leaves more free RAM open which is a must for emulators.

On the other hand, these 4.4 stock ROMs have well above average battery life from what I've seen which is more important to me.

I switched back to AOSP (SlimKat, BeanStalk, Carbon, etc) for about half a day and ended up switching going back to this. Hard to go back to AOSP when the battery life on stock 4.4 based ROMs are top notch lol.

It's all about what you use your device for. These ROMs are specifically built for the OGP so they're better optimised. Better overall performance and battery life. On the other hand, multitasking isn't quite so nice with the lack of free RAM that's open. Less customizability on these, too.

AOSP for more customizations and better multitasking

Stock based for better performance and battery life.

I'll be sticking with stock based and am currently testing a custom kernel I'm working on for it. CPU OC'd to 2GHz minimum of 162MHz, GPU at 531MHz, lots of governors and using CPU quiet.

Thanks bro. My main concern is battery life. I usually get about 3.5 hours of life of of my phone. Do you get a lot more than that?
[LG Optimus G Pro] killerxda:
You mean just wipe data, factory reset, wipe caches and install zip then reboot? After reboot i can install the patch for F240S by Sphinx?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
I've got a ZeroLemon 9300mAn battery so I couldn't really compare to what you get lol.

Download freegee and install CWM through there

Download Madmack's hacked TWRP

Boot into recovery

Wipe system, cache, dalvik, and data

OPTIONAL: Install the F2FS zip I shared

Flash the ROM

Flash Madmack's hacked TWRP

Reboot into recovery

You should now be in TWRP

Flash Madmack's kernel

Flash any mods you want

Reboot and enjoy

can i flash this rom on my E986?

please give me some information. There is so less information around here about kitkat for the E986
[LG Optimus G Pro] Hackedieter:
I hope someone here in this forum can give some tipps and information about SPINX KitKat on Optimus G Pro E986. Are there some developers who can make it possible???

speakerphone/mic problem still happening?

Thanks a lot for this rom. Works beautifully till now with no issues on E988 Asian version. Keep up the gr8 work devs.
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
hello manu, do you still experience the loudspeaker not working ?

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Hello Neroga ,

its kinda hard for me to swallow your info.

Can you explain why AOSP roms like Carbon rom have lower battery life and mediocre performance than stock roms?

i was always thought that since Carbon rom is a minimal slimkat rom hence the performance and battery life is better than stock rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
With a normal kernel (no OC) games and the whole UI are a lot smoother on stock without having to use higher frequencies as much. I've got my phone underclocked to 1.2GHz and get no lags, no stutters, and no time between switching apps.

As for battery life, the stock software is what LG made for the OGP. It's more optimized specifically for this device rather than AOSP which is meant and made for multiple devices.

Under the battery stats, I'd get between 40-60% screen battery drain on any AOSP while I can't even get above 10% on stock. Standby time is almost the same but I get a LOT more actual use out of my phone on stock.

40-60%. I know this isn't completely accurate but I have a ZeroLemon 9300mAh battery. In comparison to having my screen on for 1 hour while playing with my phone on AOSP, the battery drain would be about equal to playing with my phone on stock for 4-6 hours. That's a huge difference.

I go all day without charging my phone and over about 5 hours of screen on time, my phone would be at about 60% on AOSP while I'd still have around 80% on stock based 4.4.

Are you using a lokified recovery like Madmack's hacked TWRP to flash the kernel after flashing the ROM?

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] GenoAndroid:
Nope. Been using Philz cwm touch. Should I install twrp
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
For flashing the kernel, yes. Haven't gotten the ROM to flash via TWRP but the kernel won't flash in CWM. Keep a flashable zip of TWRP so you can switch to flash the kernel.

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
Thanks Neroga for the detailed response,

BTW, (1) why some kernels not compatible to flash on CWM?

Im kind newbie to Custom Recovery of OG Pro, (2) Can TWRP and CWP both co exist together or do I have just to use either one.

Also I'm kinda baffled on your enthusiasm for SPINX Kitkat RadeonMaya 4.4 rom despite the numerous soft brick frustrations from other OG Pro users.

Despite of these soft brick woes, I'm waiting for this SPINX Kitkat rom to be more stable and added it on my watch list. I kinda envy the superb battery life.
[LG Optimus G Pro] GenoAndroid:
Thanks. Now I just gotta search for.this twrp. Lol.
[LG Optimus G Pro] GenoAndroid:
Got it working. Thanks a bunch. Loving it
[LG Optimus G Pro] jcpearl:
Anyone who tried flashing this on a e986?

Please let me know
[LG Optimus G Pro] arifqur:
Here you go. Madmack;s Hacked TWRP

The name has e986 instead of E980 but don't worry it works perfectly.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/bmw3a4u8qzr6sli/TWRP-2.6.1.0-E980-LOKIFIED-E986HACKED.zip
[LG Optimus G Pro] GenoAndroid:
Thanks. I had found it last night though. Working like a charm. ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
I'm not exactly sure. I think CWM is lokified but it always gave me errors when it came to lokifying something. I do know that if it fails to apply the Loki patch, then the kernel didn't apply. That's what Loki is for since we don't have an unlocked bootloader. No kernel = no usable ROM lol.

You can't use CWM and TWRP at the same time but if you have a flashable zip of both you can easily switch between the two.

I softbricked my phone multiple times when I initially started using Sphinx and the remod lol. Finally found a simple flashing process.

Sphinx and remod are completely stable from what I've seen. No reboots, no lags, excellent battery life, great performance. The only thing that doesn't work is speakerphone. The included DSLR camera in remod takes really good pictures, too.

New thermald-8064.conf https://app.box.com/s/ng0aku8ob1lquf2jbnr9

Backup your current one in /system/etc and place this in, set permissions, and reboot.

Limitied brightness removed and thermal throttling fixed. Lowered touchboost from 1026MHz to 702MHz for more battery life.

New build.prop https://app.box.com/s/zdxi2nztnl7ogaffvzy0

Backup your current one in /system and place this in, set permissions, and reboot.

Everything displays as E980. Tuned for better battery life without hindering performance. Removed lpa (low power audio) for better sound quality. Doesn't break LTE or anything else.

[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Ic, thanks. As far as the rom which one do I download for e980 ? The ones provided through Google drive and fshare? Or the ones that say f240k/l/S in front of them ? Where can I find the superuser flashable? [MENTION=4481869]Neroga[/MENTION] On page 6 you said to wipe internal sd , on the same page u said to wipe internal storage and on the next page you didn't say to wipe.. which one is it ? On page 6 you said to wipe cache, which cache ? And is internal sd/ storage sd card ?

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Is this the f2fs you are referring too ?

Ps: I always try to ask questions and be sure of what I'm doing prior to doing things on my phone ... thanks guys for ur patience
[LG Optimus G Pro] SGCMarkus:
hi all,

installed this successfully on my E986, but I get random reboots when my mobile data is activated AND used :/

I use madmacks kernel with the fixed sdcard.

I'll try to get a logcat, but somehow it only happens when I have no pc nearby...

Anyone else having this problem?
[LG Optimus G Pro] GenoAndroid:
Did you flash the latest build prop?
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
[MENTION=4481869]Neroga[/MENTION] what should I set the permission to , for the 8064 and prop thingy ? Also do I have worry about permissions for group and other ? Assuming owner means me
[LG Optimus G Pro] SGCMarkus:
Modified the build.prop myself, so that it recognizes my phone as an E986 instead of E980.

It also happens that my phone random reboots on wifi.

The problem is that everytime I try to make save a logcat of these reboots nothing happens, and if I do something else, the phone reboots lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
Is 4g lte working ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] thugmafia:
what is the difference B/w this Rom and SPINX 1.3 ? im running SPINX 1.3 and each time i install this Rom it still says SPINX 1.3 BTW this installation process is way too fast for a 1.2GB file
[LG Optimus G Pro] ki11aprime:
the rom works fine been running without any reboots or anything
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I flashed the rom with CWM. Then flashed MadMacks TWRP. Then madmacks kernel. Then reboot.

I didnit flash modem. Or superuser.

Madmacks twrp will add super user for you. Lol.

Added AT&T LTE apn amd its running great.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
That's interesting ... never heard of recovery adding supersu by itself before
[LG Optimus G Pro] thugmafia:
so can i juz install it in the hack TWRP by madmock

dont know if its a bad download but each time i try to install in madmock TWRP recovery i get no OS

dont want to install CWM again
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Not sure if its just a TWRP Thing or if its

Madmacks. But when u go to reboot it says Superuser not working or something. Repair superuser before reboot...swip to confirm...
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
That actually rings a bell. When I had e970 I used to.see some prompt like that
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
It's not a must but I've seen people say that their internal storage is smaller without wiping internal storage after flashing. I always do it on any ROM so I couldn't really say.

Download the latest 14.4.14 of the remod. It's for the F240x but works on the E98X with Madmack's kernel.

Yes, that's the F2FS. Flash it before flashing a ROM and don't wipe cache afterwards or it'll revery cache back to ext4.

[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
What ?its not bad ? It looks terrible lol

1% used by screen ? Thats crazy ..

Anyone has any idea what could be the issue ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Just want to say these instructions were PERFECT and worked to get me up and running in about an hour including backup of my previous 4.4.2 stock ROM. Thanks Neroga!

I have the ZL battery too but I only use it on road trips for work... I WISH they had a rugged case for this phone as that would help justify the size, but as is I hate the TPU case that comes with the ZL battery, it's just too slick and square. Great battery though!
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
How's battery life for you ? I'm getting single digit percentage consumed by screen
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Just finished loading up all my apps and will be tracking this today. I'll go through typical usage and provide results later. That's great to hear it's working well for you though, single digits for that is pretty good!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
All that says is that more battery life is being used for other things instead of the screen burning it up. If the screen was up at 50-60%, the rest would display lower. I can heavily use my device a LOT more than I could on any other ROM that's not based on stock 4.4.

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx REMOD LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
..... what ... single digit percentage consumed by screen is terrible ._. You want most of ur battery to be consumed by the screen ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
What I'm saying is that everything else is using more overall battery life rather than the screen.

As a whole, the screen is using LESS battery life meaning you get more actual use out of the phone. I can go hours of using the device before my phone drops 10% with the 9300mAh battery.

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx REMOD LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Clearly I misread your post but I understand what you're saying now. I'll report my results later.

One thing I did notice is that wifi remains on for location tracking even though I have wifi disabled. It's a setting in the advanced wifi settings to disable it. That was my worst wakelock.

I'll report back later.

Use freegee to get the latest version of CWM.

Wipe system, data, and cache ( i was not sure which cache he was referring to, so i formatted cache and then wiped cache ...)

OPTIONAL: Flash F2FS (I've had a huge performance increase from this)

Flash the ROM

OPTIONAL: Flash any mods like the default systemui

Flash modem ( just the ATT one you should have this by now )

Flash Madmack's hacked TWRP

While still in CWM , go to advanced>reboot recovery

You should now be in TWRP.

Flash the kernel

Wipe internal storage ( i didnt know what he meant by internal storage so i skipped this step )

Reboot

Done
