Still it's very odd. I'm using an ATT E980 on Tmobile and flashed the F240 rom. Everything worked perfectly except I didn't see the SD card and the dialer speakerphone didn't work. Otherwise I had incredible LTE speeds and the rom was blazing fast. I only flashed Madmak's zip to see my SD card, doing this allowed me to see the SD card but overall rom speed was slower and it doesn't lock onto LTE as quickly as the stock Korean rom. The build prop mod didn't make things any better, it only got rid of Korean characters on the dial pad. I just don't understand how everything can work on the Korean rom but the speakerphone as the speaker is the same as speaker used for music, video, etc. The korean version dialpad worked, so the buttons are correct in software and the speaker button is in the same place. Why would something need to be compiled to make it work on the E980 when hardware and dialer button placement is exactly the same?
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Hi, is there a guide or reference to the build.prop file entries out there?
[LG Optimus G Pro] MeGaViC:
yeah.. you have a point.

Indeed I has certain hardware differences.. for example the Korean versions that had a retractable antenna and that could indicate that it has a TV tunner, but the rest of the hardware.. including PCB and layout, must be the same.

The EXT_sd problem, was fixed by software.. but was based on an 980 kernel vs the f240 kernel, and because of that it decreased overall performance.

Every piece of hardware needs its counterpart: software. If software does not "talks" correctly, hardware does not understand and do anything.

As far as I know, KitKat is coded different as Jelly Bean.

But that is just me...

anyway, KK has a superb battery life.

Cheers.
[LG Optimus G Pro] alyn99:
Well, it's been an incredible rom so far, even without speakerphone. Stable, fast and battery life is much better indeed than old stock att rom.

Where is "debugging" on Kitkat? I do not have a developers options menu...... or am I eyes failing me !!

EDIT: Found it....aaargh...me so stupid. Under Build Number.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chp:
The Developer menu option is typically hidden by default on Android KitKat. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information and tap the Build number seven times to unhide.

FYI, for anyone with a E980, the fully functioning official release from AT&T is now available OTA. A TOT for use with LG FlashTool is also available.

Yeah, I used that to get my kitkat. I was able to root, but there is no loki patch. I need to loki and load recovery.....

New modified build.prop

Calls fixed

LTE fixed

Switch between LTE, 3G, and 2G

Dialer long press 1 for voicemail

Everything is in English besides Korean apps

Dialer and keyboard full English

CMDA support (don't know if this works or even if the E980 has everything required for CDMA)

I didn't change the network from SKT to AT&T because it breaks calling. BUT changing from SKT to ATT in build.prop changes some of the UI elements (I.e. No brightness slider in status bar. Replaced by brightness toggle at the top.).

Looks to me like the update for the E980 is all ready to go. Just waiting on AT&T to push it out!

Looks like LG also adopted Google's removal of write permissions to external sd cards. Even with root, you can't add or modify files on a micro sd through the phone. Did a bit of searching and found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

So you can't "write" pictures to sd? It just seems idiotic to sell phones with sd cards and release updates to disable them. Why are they going out of their way to take away sd card ? What reason is behind this ? It seems almost like false advertising to me , like oh you can put a sd card in your phone but you can't do anything with it

Anyone else having really bad Cell Standby battery drain? I have an E980, installed Korean ROM the same way as first post but came from CM11.
[LG Optimus G Pro] thedoctor80:
Can i use with this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2637838
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Nope. That kernel is AOSP only.

Sort of. Only apps that come with the phone can modify storage. Like the camera app can store pictures on the sd. But when it comes to user installed apps, they can only modify their private directory on the phone. I.e. app com.google.a can modify any content on the internal sd if you want it to, but can only change data on the external card in /Android/data/com.google.a.

That app fixes the problem, though. I'll be sticking to this stock 4.4 until a flashable zip is made for whenever we get the official update for the E980. xD

[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
That cosign on this ROM may make me go through all of the steps to get it loaded :).

I'll ask again, is there no way to get this ROM with kernel and build.prop changes all wrapped up into one neat little zip file?

-Logic
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
As far as I can see, no. Not until someone uses something like ROM kitchen on a decompressed version.

Unlike other ROMs I've seen, the system partition is compressed as a tar inside the zip while others are just a folder. If it was the same, you'd be able to replace the build.prop in the system folder and the boot.img with that of Madmack's.

Sent from my Stock 4.4 LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] :
Maybe one of you on 4.4 can check something for me. . . please :)

Is webview borked? Google removed text wrapping/reflow from webview in 4.4 — when using a browser (I use Boat) and you zoom into a web page the text will NOT reflow and properly wrap thus you will have to move side to side to read. Apparently Opera patched their browser and it will do text reflow properly, and I've tested it on CM and BeanStalk and it worked fine however I don't like Opera these days.

However, I was not able to find any other browser that worked on 4.4, although Dolphin with JetPack is said to work it didn't for me on those ROMs.

Therefore, I'm curious if anyone has tested browsers on LG's 4.4 to see how text reflow is working — it's a must feature for me and I'll probably stay on 4.1 or a 4.3 ROM if it doesn't work, at least till browsers are fixed but that may be a long time.

Thanks!

For the OP,

1) please do mention backing up EFS as an important step before flashing the ROM,

2) madmacks file contains the boot image required for e980, so the boot.bin file can be removed from the ROM zip before flashing
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
None of the ROMs I've played with even touch the EFS partition. While it's good to have a backup, it's not necessary for every flash. Mainly from 4.1.2 stock before you begin flashing. :3

Well, yes it's just precautionary and probably to be done when you use freegee for the first time... I saw in the other Korean KK thread that somebody lost IMIE after the flash, so backing up EFS seems a good thing to do
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
I know what you're saying, mang. Some of the ROMs over in the Chinese/Vietnamese threads alter the EFS partition where the IMEI is stored. Not so in this ROM or any other I've encountered on XDA for the OGP. :3

That brings up another question.. What is causing this EFS corruption? I guess EFS is a separate partition from system, boot, data so why should any ROM write to it?

Found a way to enable init.d. Flash the zip located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2613944 and then reflash supersu or you'll lose root.

Afterwards, navigate to /system/etc with a root explorer and add /system/bin/sysinit under the first line of install-recovery.sh. BOOM. init.d enabled.

On another note, I noticed that my modified build.prop makes the weather and weather widget appear in English and you can now select American cities. LG SmartWorld is also in English.

Don't do the build.prop mod until you update LG apps via LG App Updater or you won't be able to afterwards. If you plan on using the weather widget or LG Notebook, update those FIRST.

Bootloader

It would be cool to change the bootloader to the KK Google One
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
TWRP is buggy if you boot into it from a hardboot (I.e. Fully power down the device and enter into recovery from vol^ + home + power. If you use the rebooter feature in ROM toolbox, or whatever ROM you're using gives you the Reboot Recovery feature, that way will work without a hitch.

A solution to the buggy touchscreen is when you boot into recovery from a hardboot, press in between backup and restore near the top of them to select reboot, then press the upper left corner of system to reboot back into recovery without the buggy screen.

No idea if CWM works, but I'd still suggest the hacked TWRP.

Flash ROM + kernel + SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1 then let it boot up. Update any or all LG apps you plan on using via App Updater (LG weather widget, LG NoteBook, etc etc) since most of them require an update before you can use them.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Sent you a PM, I used MadMacks (still the best in my book) and learning how to use the touch points by not lifting your finger and moving off the selection to deselect helped me learn it. It worked flawlessly for me to flash everything I needed to. If it helps, you can first load an ASOP 4.3 or 4.4 ROM and MadMacks recovery will work fine after that. I came from Beanstalk to this, did the wipe 2x and then flashed the rom, kernel and SU twice. Have had no issues at all since.

Battery life is PHENOMENAL.. Wifi, BT, it all works. Performance is a tiny bit better than stock 4.1.2 but it's smoother overall. Definitely a keeper until the official E980 rom is released. No issues with LTE either with the build prop edits by Neroga. No comment on comparison to Sphinx, I didn't install that one.

If anyone is experiencing any lag it's because the quad core management feature in 4.1.2 stock is basically always enabled on 4.4 limiting the phone down to 1.1GHz. Use trickster or fauxclock to bump it up.
