It seems like any KitKat baseband will work; although I plan on making everything Lollipop-based once the VS980 gets its official Lollipop update from LG

I may have to make a "hybrid" baseband which is mostly our stock baseband, plus a few files from the official Lollipop from the Korean variants. Without the hybrid baseband, audio does not work; unless I can find a way to make the audio work with the old Kitkat baseband.

Working:

LTE

Wifi

Sensors

Audio

Vibrator

TODO:

Camera/Camcorder

Bluetooth

Misc tweaks and configurations

NFC

GPS

Everything else

I'm not sure if it's Lollipop or this new kernel but tap to wake is the fastest I've ever seen on my G2 :)

Edit: camera and camcorder work! (It seems to only work with Google's camera from the app store, where the one from AOSP does not seem to take photos all the time)

Edit2 (1/20/15): I've sent photos via bluetooth and NFC beam to my old phone successfully, but I cannot say whether everything works like calling and whatnot

Suggestions for getting back to JPC's CM11

All,

As I mentioned in a previous post, I tried out some of the new Lollipop Roms for fun. Additionally I tried out some different kernels. I decided that I wanted to comeback to JPC's C11.

With that being said I flashed I flashed the 26A bootstack and JPC CM 11. Do you think that was enough? I feel like I'm running into LTE strength issues and mms texts are going bonkers.

Should I wipe everything and start from scratch? I shouldn't have to do too much since my phone is already rooted and has TWRP on it.

What do you suggest? Is it as simple as flashing the Rom and bootstack?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Yes.

[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
Sorry to post this in discussion, but since this is based on LG source, does Mi2Raw Camera work? Google Play Link

Stock CM11 and CM12 camera drivers don't support it.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Not likely as it's still CM12 based except it'll support true LP/KK baseband/radio instead of having to use 12B (Jellybean baseband/radio).

There are plenty of stock based roms out there for VS98026A including XDABBEB, Cloudyfa, Micromod, Optimus, G3 ports, and even MIUI (it has both CM11 based and LG stock based versions).
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
Mi2raw works, and you get amazing sharpness from the pictures. It totally bypasses the crappy aosp processing. Quality is as good as mi2raw is on lg ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I tried that app and it said that the device was not supported.

I guess that means we don't have RAW image support in our drivers. I'll look more into this down the road

As for CM12, I'm getting a strange kernel panic once every few hours and can't get any debug messages at the moment, so that's holding up a alpha release.

What's working:

Cell/Data

Sensors (all)

WiFi

Audio

Bluetooth (to the best of my knowledge, I sent photos to and from my Galaxy Nexus and streamed some music to a BT player, so you will have to report back)

NFC (again, to the best of my knowledge, I beamed a few photos to and from my Galaxy Nexus and it worked, so you will have to report back)

GPS

Camera/Camcorder

Video playback

WiFi tethering

Post if there's anything not listed above that you want me to test, because I can't remember to test everything
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I'm guessing talking to [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] wouldn't help?

Could you test Verizon visual voicemail? If the usual version doesn't work then maybe try the moto specific version for lollipop. Sorry if that's random.I can test once you release.
[Verizon LG G2] dtomlin:
Looking forward to this. Hasn't been a cm12 posted forever even based on 12b. And I totally lack the know how to build my own.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
Testing the screen in call would be great. Specifically if the proximity sensor properly works when needing to access the dialer.
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
MMS is nice to have.

Pandora, Netflix, Youtube, Google Music are all nice to have (video playback may not mean streaming video or audio playback to me)

LolliViper4Audio is nice also
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
-Viper4Android would definitely be nice, specifically the flashable lolliviper zip here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57966835

Lollipop UPDATE Post#1409 [DISCUSSION] Viper4android

-Would HD Calling be available to us now that we'd be able to be on the proper basebands?

-Voice over internet like Skype, I know its a common problem with lollipop ROMs (CM upstream issue?)

-Video streaming from Twitch app

Just what I can think of at the moment. Regardless of these things a lollipop build we can use on our kit Kat base bands sounds amazing. Any and all work is appreciated :)

Stock 27A

VS980
[Verizon LG G2] soapinmouth:
Does mms work?
[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
I also support testing: MMS, Netflix video, YouTube Video, Google Voice/Viber/Skype VOIP, Screen wakeup when you move the phone away from your ear in call.

Also, if you tested Mi2Raw on your CM12 build, joedajoester says it works on your CM11 build. It could be that LG made changes to their camera drivers between 4.4 and 5.0, so Mi2Raw dev MaGin would have to update his app if this is the case.
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
+1
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
So this rom when its up and running on the kitkat baseband and kernel (eventually lollipop), is there going to be any sort of performance increase versus the jb based lollipop roms we have now? Also, once LG releases our lollipop ota, think the new camera api's can work on this rom and if its possible, volte? Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
No real performance increase except may be newer radios like 27A can be used. It'll allow switching to KK roms (including stock-based roms) without having to switch baseband. LG camera will need LG framework so AOSP/CM roms will not work with LG cameras. If you want LG camera, then you need to stick with stock-based roms (including MIUI's stock based version). I'm not sure about VOLTE but I suspect again that this is stock-based roms only.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
The time draws near... I can feel it...
[Verizon LG G2] hotrodwinston:
Actually there is a LG stock camera zip floating around somewhere for aosp lollipop. It isn't any faster than aosp/cm camera but it does have most of the stock shooting modes working. I think it's in the general g2 apps section. (too lazy to look it up right now)

As far as volte goes it needs stock as far as I know - I would love to see it on aosp - even if we had to use the ugly LG in call ui to use it.
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
I would imagine the VoLTE would be possible on AOSP since the ability to do so is based off of the baseband the phone is on (12B vs. 26A). I could be wrong though. Hopefully it isn't difficult to implement!

Stock VS980 27A
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
MMS, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube all work, I didn't get around to testing everything else listed.

I'm still getting this strange kernel panic where I still can't obtain logs as to what's causing the issue. Twice I had an issue where my screen flickered until I turned the screen off and when I pressed power again, it worked as if nothing was ever wrong. I'll post a build once I get to the bottom of these issues, as I don't want anybody's devices to get damaged irreparably, including my own :P
[Verizon LG G2] joedajoester:
You're too good to us :)

The flickering could possibly be from adaptive brightness in display settings? Also, I know on any other lollipop ROM I see slight brightness flickering even with adaptive brightness off. Usually you can tell it flickers when things are moving slowly on a solid color if that make sense. Anyway, a huge thanks to you and I hope all goes well!
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
Google Hangouts on JPC CM11

Has anyone had issues with notifications in Hangouts on this ROM after the Google Voice merge? I cannot get to the bottom of this. It's unpredictable if I'll get the notification. I've done just about all the basic debugging (reinstall, clear cache, un-merge, re-merge...)

Also... Anyone have any suggestions on how to just access the text feature of hangouts when chat protocols are blocked? I used to just text people from an internet browser at work but I lose that capability via Google Voice when the merge happened. Any work arounds?
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
You're not wrong, but a quick hack until I fix it is that before turning on bt, you turn off wifi, then turn on bt, then back on wifi and you can have both on
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Interesting haha. Thanks so much for the fixes:)
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Thanks JPC. I thought it was a little hinky.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Lol sorry for the cheesy workaround. I'll try to devote some time to it sometime during the week
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Was thinking about the 4.2 ril's. According to dr87's findings, in many sod cases on vs980 on kk aosp there were modem crashes. Hopefully those 4.2 rils don't bring sod. Although, its never really been determined what was causing those sod's. So who knows.
[Verizon LG G2] wethead4:
so if i'm proceeding with steps 5-8 to get the custom recovery installed, where should I put the 3 files? when i type the script into terminal emulator it keeps giving me a cannot open for read error, no such file or directory. right now i have them in the root of the sdcard
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
Thanks. Think I will wait until a build is released so I dont have to go through all of that.
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
I tried adb push but aboot.bin kept complaining about read only. So I just copied them through Windows and moved them to root with root explorer. Then I dd'ed them as easy as pie.
[Verizon LG G2] wethead4:
worked like a charm! thanks
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Most (all??) modem crashes result in a kernel panic, which would be traceable by cat'ing /proc/last_kmsg. During an SOD it would leave nothing suspicious, like at all, because they most likely are caused by a deadlocked cpu due to a race condition somewhere. I just don't think it was the modem. Anyways we will find out in the next hours or days if anybody who's using a build from today gets an SOD or not
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too, that the modem crash was more of a byproduct. I've been on almost two hours seems good so far.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I just love having the luxury of knowing that double tapping the screen or pressing the power button *always* results in the screen coming on when I need it to use my phone. No more SODs!
[Verizon LG G2] xlxfoxxlx:
Wi-Fi seems to be working fine too I'm on it right now with Bluetooth on and getting signal and also no sign of a freeze up or sod so I'm pretty content
[Verizon LG G2] flyinj54:
No problems since initial build on sods or freezes. Awesome! Never felt so alive lol. Seriously now I can say I enjoy this device! Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Quick question, after flashing the 12b baseband I can't seem to get back to 24a correctly. If I flash the package from cloudy I get zero signal. What am I missing? It's probably right in my face...
[Verizon LG G2] heffzilla:
Running great here also, signal actually seems a bit stronger too. Really appreciate the build Jackpot.
[Verizon LG G2] HeXaLox:
to what folder do I push the 1mb file to? like which destination?...

[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Hey Jackpot, first off thanks for working on the ROM! Secondly this

Was just posted in the AOSPA 5 thread, I know it's a long shot given the two ROMs use different modems, different kernel base etc but maybe it's related?
[Verizon LG G2] Jugstah:
Have you seen all the LP related g2/g3 activity here: https://github.com/lg-devs/ [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] has been very busy.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Hey Jackpot, I know you're busy w/ lollipop but I was just wondering, since the 27a update just rolled out and has a new baseband, would there be any changes to do in the ROM or would it be fine to use right away? Since there's no major changes in 27a (from what we can tell) it shouldn't have any issues, but just in case(NOPE) wanted to check with you.

Edit: Seriously xda? I type the word case(NOPE) and you make it a hyperlink to an otter box at wall mart? Really?

I m on stock non roote 27a how would i install this . Not new to modding phones just new to lg g2 trying to get the process down. coming from galaxy s3 locked bootloader.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Use the search function and Google.

Once you get root, use autorec created by cloudyfa to downgrade your bootloader to 4.2, upgrade twrp, then flash away
[Verizon LG G2] 4rsenal:
So with the imminent release of JPC'S cm12 just asking the question of whether will the vs980 ever see stable, 27a, nightlies? Lawrus I think brought it up a few pages back but will the ever be a thing? I dont remember cm nightlies for this phone ever being to good or at any version or up to other phones' standards.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
Is this ROM on top of 27A not stable?

If you're talking about official CM, I don't think they will ever use anything higher than 12B
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
I think they are looking for you to integrate the bits from 27a rather than the current setup.personally, I'd rather a great lollipop build from you than for any additional work on cm11. I've had this rom installed since release day and i can't wait for it's next incarnation.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I don't know.

With the black lines issue people have had, which many believe is because of us flashing 4.4. Kernel source on a 4.2 bootloader and with 4.2 kernel sourced 5.0 "just working" its doubtful.

Our cm maintainer has stated that he is still working on bringing the kernel source up and working, but who knows? And as I see it, it doesn't matter to me either way.

People for whatever their reason is, have an issue with accepting the fact that we are not on the most up to date kernel base.

If it works, and works well, who cares what kernel base it is? Least that's how I view it, and I think answers your question? If not ignore it lol. I'm heavily medicated ATM.
[Verizon LG G2] 4rsenal:
I have no doubt your 27a will be stable just I wanted to know if there was an effort for cm nightes. Can't wait for the release!
[Verizon LG G2] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I tried to do a clean flash/27a load of this ROM and had trouble. I had taken a short deviation into the 5.0 world but decided to come back as it was just buggy (and believe it or not, I think the 12B radio gets worse reception - had lots of signal issues. I know it would make sense, that newer radios *should* do better, but that isn't always the case :))

Anyway. wiped data/system/cache. Flashed 27a bootstack, rebooted recovery. Flashed ROM. ROM flash errors out about midway complaining of not being able to symlink a few things. I flashed gapps and 27a radio and tried to boot. No Joy. Didn't even get to bootani.

Rebooted recovery, flashed 26a bootstack, ROM, GAPPS, 27a radio and everything seems fine.

Ask a stupid question...

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Almost 800 posts and you're asking for an eta?

Wow
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
It was a question. I was responding to a post saying it is imminent. I was curious if it was announce when and if anyone had any idea? Have not been on the forums for a few.

It was a simple question...dont have to be dicks about it. I wasnt pushing or demanding it to be released.

Some people's children....
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=1976266]techbeck[/MENTION]

This forum has always frowned upon etas. This is nothing new.

Also you could have read to see if her had given any idea as to when it was going to be released.

"I haven't been on for a while so I'm going to try and be lazy by just asking for an eta".

Stop being that guy.

" some peoples children" yeah, my parents taught me to follow rules set and respect people and patience damn near thirty years ago. Wish people were still preaching it to their kids now a days.....

And trust me, I wasn't being a "****" far from it. I was making a reference to how you at one time had been an active poster, and still don't get it.

But welcome back! Based on your response, you'll be getting actual "****" remarks shortly from me.
[Verizon LG G2] techbeck:
I was replying to a poster who said the release was soon. I was asking him, not the Dev, if he knew when it would be since he said it was imminent. Sounded like he knew something. Simple question you blew out of proportion.

As far as I know, there is no rules against asking another member if they heard or knew something. Nothing in what I said was disrespectful or showed impatience. IT was a simple question to another member, not you.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=1976266]techbeck[/MENTION]

Find all the technicalities you want.

Eta = no.

Why not send him a pm?

Anyways, sorry jpc for ****ing up your thread.

Nothing else to gain from this conversation.
[Verizon LG G2] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I have discovered some issues. Not sure if they are 27a related or not. Nor do I know how to fix them.

While the core functionality of the phone is working, I realized last night that the proximity sensor wasn't working (I've always had 'issues' with the sensor, but that's a different story). It got me to downloading some sensor test apps and I realized I have NO Sensors working! The apps believe my phone lacks a light sensor, proximity sensor, Compass, Accelerometer, etc.

I reflashed the 26a bootstack, rebooted recovery, then flashed ROM, Gapps, 26a Radio and rebooted. Still same issue.

I know the ROM is not the issue here, it's clearly something that's happened, or that I've done during the flashing back to 12b and 5.0 Rom. But I'm not sure how to undue it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:

[Verizon LG G2] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Ok, Did I miss something? I thought this worked with 24a/25a/26a bootstack and radios? I thought 12b stuff was for official CM and the 5.0 variations?

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Are you using the 27a bootstack and radio? It might be a radio issue, as in can use the 27a boktstack, but must use the 26a or 24a radio with it.

Offtopic: ive seen that avatar before. And unless you kanged it pun not intended. You are a member of AOKP. And if that's true, and you're harnessing a vs980, I'm a very happy person.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Yep, Zaphod-Beeblebrox helped me much on my GNex!

LG G2 Verizon
[Verizon LG G2] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I started with 27a Bootstack & Radio. I reflashed back to 26a Bootstack, then flashed ROM, Gapps, but left 27A radio initially. I went back and flashed ROM/Gapps/26a Radio (dirty flash) with no change.

I suspect I need to restore back to full stock and get my sensors working correctly and start over. Wasn't looking forward to that.

And yes, I am *that* Zaphod. You guys are too kind for remembering me. Truth is, I haven't been active since JellyBean. (And I've had my G2 since it first came to Verizon). I was never a hardware guy. Geniuses like JackpotClavin and Rohan (AOKP) took care of that stuff. I'm a simple Java hack that liked to make the NavBar Dance :)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
That's odd. The only time I ever had to flash stock for sensor issues, when when I first upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4.

After flashing the older 24a bootstack from xdabbeb, if you didn't go to a stock ROM, sensors wouldn't work on aosp.

I haven't had to do so since.

Edit: I'd rey flashing a stock ROM before using the flash tool.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
You may have to go back to stock. There's a file that's generated by one of the sensors daemons under /sns/cal/sns.reg

I believe that a sen.reg file generated from the sensor blobs from Jellybean will not work under Kitkat. I haven't found a way to actually generate my own sns.reg files, so I would have to go back to stock where the stock ROM somehow has the magic capabilities to generate this sns.reg file. Once you have the stock Kitkat ROM generate this sns.reg file, you should have working sensors with any ROM based on the Kitkat blobs.

TL;DR: you may have to go back to stock 4.4, boot it, ensure your sensors work, then you can flash any Kitkat ROM based on Kitkat blobs.

As for 5.0, I'm still getting this lockup issue every 20 minutes or so, which is making it barely usable. It sucks because everything else appears to be working fine and dandy, it just locks up occasionally. Still investigating...
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Well, thanks for working on it! Looking forward to using it... Also depending on school and stuff I may look into building ROMs, specifically pa 5.0 w/ the kernel from this ROM (assuming you're ok with that) since PA is my ROM of choice, and jb base is pretty hit or miss... I've actually had the phone throw me a security error on boot, luckily I could still get into recovery and re flash, but I kdz d back to kitkat ASAP after that. This is still a maybe though, never built a ROM before but I've got a powerful computer and have used linux.

JC, you're a genius. I had all kind of trouble with rotation after trying to flash d802 CM12 on VS98012B. I can get rotation back when I flashed 26a bootstack and stock roms as well as KK AOSP roms, but when I went back to LP AOSP/CM roms, rotation would break. When I saw your post, I DELETED my sns.reg file and then rebooted. LP generated a new sns.reg file for VS98012B so now I have rotation again. THANK YOU very much. :good:
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I'm beginning to think I've fixed the CM12 lockup issue that I've been talking about for the past month or so that has been delaying the CM12 Alpha release

If I go the rest of today and tomorrow without a lockup, I'll throw together a CM12 Alpha build on Sunday and post it Sunday night if everything goes well

Here's to hoping I haven't spoken too soon...
