[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
You misunderstood me, I'm referring to apps or modifications done to the cm11 rom he has loaded that could cause an issue, not cm11 itself. This is why backing up and then clean flashing might be recommended here... It would fix that.

We know that dirty flashing is doable from cm11 to cm12 (you have proven this yourself along with others) , but it didn't work this one time so we are trying to figure out why.

Edit: wow, this has gone on long enough that I had to look back and see what started it. I thought it was someone trying to dirty flash from cm11 to cm12. Is it that you couldn't get the 2-17 build to boot when dirty flashing over 2-15, mark? If so, I have also had no issues there, and I dirty flashed 2-17 over 2-15. I also see you are running twrp 2.8.0.1 which is what I have, so thats not it. Did you confirm the md5 on the pc you downloaded to or on the phone after copying it over?
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Exactly. Not only that, but also moving between a jpc rom to another vs. another devs rom to this one. Between the baseband situation and other modifications people make to their setups, it would be ridiculous not to recommend a clean flash in many situations. That's it.

The original person stated he dirty flashed to get to the 15th build from a non lp rom (I didn't see a mention if the original rom was from jpc or not), and then couldn't get the build from the 17th to boot. No one else has that issue, so my natural reaction to that would be that a clean flash would solve the issue. That's also it.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
I checked the MD5, and downloaded it from different computers to be sure. I tried dirty flashing from the 15th to the 17th, and yes, believe it or not :) , I also tried a clean flash from the 15th to the 17th before I even came here and asked (I wouldn't have asked had I not tried a clean flash first).

You guys downloaded the 17th build from Mega?

Edit, I checked MD5 on each download on each computer. I'm wondering if CM12 themes are causing problems when upgrading?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Yep, downloaded from mega. I asked about when you checked md5 just to rule out the file getting corrupted due to transfer over bad USB cable. I always check md5 with es file explorer after its on my phone. So just to confirm, md5 was good after it was transferred? I can upload it somewhere else if you want.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
Thank you for the offer, but if it's working for you guys I'm assuming the problem is on my end somewhere. I've never had problems before with Mega

MD5 was good on every method I tried. I tried using the mega app on my phone, and desktop mode in chrome. Same results
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I forgot what your issue was exactly after wading through the, Umm, water, lol.

I just tried dirty flashing 17th over 15th in my car before work, constant FC with certain apps prevented setup. Then clean flashed. Same deal, couldn't even setup. I don't know what the problem was. After getting into work I attempted another clean flash and everything setup fine. So perhaps try again.

[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
I've tried at least a dozen times. I get the apps are upgrading box, that finishes fine, then it goes back to the regular boot animation, then will vibrate every few minutes, a few times it will vibrate for 30 seconds or so. I've let it sit for over an hour and it just won't boot (dirty and clean). No biggy, I'll wait for the next build before doing anything drastic like wiping :)
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
What gapps do you use?
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
I successfully installed the 15th build with regular cm12 gapps, and a seperate time with PA gapps. Neither package seems to matter when trying to flash the 17th build, tried both. I just checked, I did not have a theme on CM11 when I flashed over to CM12, and even with stock system theme applied, the 17th is still not flashing over the 15th for me.

I also tried just for fun not flashing a gapps before dirty or clean flashing the 17th build. I should mention I haven't modified anything in CM, no mods or mucking around.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I wonder if you are suffering from the boot animation memory leak issue...
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
I've never seen so much random vibrating during boot before. It will do a 20-30 second vibrate, or occasionally a few second burst.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
Woo! Dirty flashed the 17th successfully :) I used 4g to download, rather than wifi this time, I guess it did the trick? Thanks everyone
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Is the option to unmount sdcard not yet in cm12 or am I looking in the wrong place?
[Verizon LG G2] crispy1:
Clean flashed 2/17 over rooted stock 24A with CM12 Gapps. Worked out some App specific issues with Android Wear. Had to install Google Keyboard to get swipe to work. Now I'm loving this. Sensors work, GPS locks, 4G seems fine. I can't find any real problems yet. Battery life appears to be crazy good.

Thank you!

Edit: I have MMS issues. Any known fix, please advise. I read the post on APN tweaking but don't follow completely.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I've noticed that this only happens after I've connected bluetooth, whether it be my headphones or connected to my car. It continues to speed up the ringtone after the device is disconnected until I reboot. If a logcat would help, then let me know what I should try to catch in the logcat and I'll do it.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Started at full stock 27a (kdz), stump rooted, autorec'ed, flashed the latest blastgator twrp, the 2/17 ROM and the latest PA Stock GApps. I was going to hold out for the bump agnostic version, but I'm glad I didn't, everything's working perfectly! At first the personal suggestion dialog from google keyboard wouldn't go away and wouldn't let me open the prompt, but disabling it clearing the data and force stopping that fixed it, plus it was almost certainly an issue with the GApps anyway. Thanks for the awesome ROM!
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Do you have any plans to implement the Camera2 API from lollipop that allows things like manual exposure and saving photos in RAW format?

I think this is it here https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/package-summary.html

ROM: ? Validus 5.0.2

KRNL: ? Blackbird

RCVRY: ? TWRP 2.8.4.0

PHONE: ? VS980
[Verizon LG G2] finger11:
Clean flashed over Mahdi and the ROM is working pretty well. Little quirky to get used to the new OS. Had some GPS issues the other night trying to get an Uber, but I was hammered so will test it another time :) I put on some black theme to make it similar to the Dark Theme option that was in Mahdi. Are CM12 settings options in their infancy or did Mahdi's ROM have a lot of custom options under settings itself?

One question I have is there a way to disable the vibrate when hitting one of the 3 bottom buttons (back/home/apps)?

Otherwise running smooth as a daily driver.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Cm12 won't have nearly as much customizations as what mahdi did. They very well could add more stuff but I wouldn't hold your breath as to me at least, it looks like they have more going on now then cm11 had.

Cm keeps it pretty light. Then people can use it as a base to cheery pick their own options into it.
[Verizon LG G2] mmoogle:
This was bugging me so I fixed it (well sorta):

JPC has to add the following to the framework xml file to enable LED customization:

<bool name="config_multiColorNotificationLed">true</bool>

Until he does I whipped up a simple Xposed Module that sets the pref. Install it, activate it, and voila, you can customize the LED again.
[Verizon LG G2] finger11:
Speaking of the LED... Is there a way to have the phone on silent (no vibrate), but have the LED flash if you receieve a text? I can't seem to figure that one out. If you put it on silent it seems to mute any LED notification. If you put text as a priority interruption it will have to vibrate as well.
[Verizon LG G2] stelthy77:
Hey guys, I have been running this for a few days now and wanted to provide some feedback for the Feb 15th Build.

First, it is very stable and smooth. I haven't had a lot of issues, but a few nagging ones hang on.

1. MMS (I know there were fixes introduced on the 17th. I will install that later this week and report back on this). I can always fix these issues in Evolve SMS by having it automatically update APN's, but I have to do that after every reboot, or MMS issues...

2. Exchange Email: A few issues here with contacts and calendar, requiring me to delete and re-add my accounts. Contacts weren't showing up or syncing correctly and calendars were the same. After removal and re-adding, all was well, except for:

3. Bluetooth: My car's Bluetooth was crashing during the sync of the address book (yes, you read that correctly, my phone was causing a Bluetooth module crash in my CAR {2009 BMW 328 with iDrive}). And this only started after fixing my Exchange accounts. Turning off address book sync keeps the phone connected, but with it on the Bluetooth will reboot try to sync the phone book and then reboot again, rinse and repeat until I turn off the car or phone (or disable address book sync). I tried all the obvious fixes (deleting phone and car profiles, deleting caches, etc). I finally fixed it by installing "Bluetooth Phonebook" app ($2). It standardizes the PBAB phone book so it works better. And it worked great, faster sync and no issues. This is an issue with a lot of Lollipop builds, according to what I could find on the web.

4 Battery life: Is not great. A little better than with CM11, but still much worse, by half, than stock (CM11 = 1.75 hrs SOT, CM12 = 2+ hrs, Stock = 4-5 hrs). I don't blame this on anything in particular with this build. The problem is that Android OS, System or Google Play services (depends on the day) always have Keep awake times in the 2 to 3 hour range in CM, leaving only about 2 hours for Screen on Time. Basically my phone is rarely in deep sleep, even though it is sitting in my pocket. This could be some app, setting, or something I use, but I will say that a clean install of CM11 fixed it for a few days, even with all my programs installed and running I was getting awesome screen times, then all of the sudden, large drain again... Battery issues can be maddening!

Overall, this is a GREAT build and I love the phone, I will install the 17th build, and see if it resolves my MMS problems. If I could fix this battery drain, I would keep this phone for a long time.
[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
I also want this feature. I know Light Flow can do this, but I don't want to use it if I don't have to, and it has always been buggy with MMS notifications for me.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
It's a bit convoluted, but if you set text sound to a silent MP3 and no vibration, then set it as priority interruption, would that work?

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] finger11:
Yes and no. It would work, but then when you have the ringer on normal, you will never hear a txt arrival sound. Unless you change it back and forth each time you go from silent to normal. I have it on silent, but want LED notification many times, such as at work, or overnight, or when I have a raging hangover :).

I've used Light Flow in the past with decent results.
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
Has anyone has any problems with the system profiles? Specifically where it is supposed to change the lock screen, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I have noticed that often when lock screen is on with my profile, and I get a notification, if I double click the notification, it bypasses the lock screen altogether (I use pattern unlock).

Update: I think that it is unlocking due to Smart Lock, Trusted Face being turned on. Duh!
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
New build is up. It uses newer CM source synced from earlier today; all CM fixes/improvements as of February 23rd are included in this build (vibrate on touch working as it should, etc)

Sorry for the abbreviated changelog, I've just been busier than usual :P
[Verizon LG G2] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Flashed new build over 02/15. Uneventful. (as it should be, right :)).

Thanks for your work on this. 02/15 was very stable for me, with only a random reboot once or twice during the time I've run it.
[Verizon LG G2] sgravel:
I may have missed it in the previous posts, but in case nobody has already mentioned it... on both the 2/15 and 2/17 builds, when listening to Bluetooth audio, the sound level will "duck" from time to time for no apparent reason, and not return to its normal level after. Pausing and resuming playback causes audio to play at normal level. No notifications that would cause audio to duck appear to occur when this happens. I don't know if this also happens with a wired headset, and have not yet experienced it on the new build, but it's early yet.

- [ROM][Lollipop][5.0.2][Unofficial] BeanStalk Build 5.0015 - [01/11/2015] (all builds)

- CM11 and CM12 based on 4.4.2 (KitKat) OTA (all builds, cm11 and cm12) - yours

All these roms runs great but my SIM card isn't detected, this is the only issue I have. My SIM card just is detected on the stock rom (vs980, 24a baseband, android 4.4.2)

What can I do in order to fix this issue ?? Many people around here have posted the same issue. Please help us !!!! We love your cm12 !!!
[Verizon LG G2] stelthy77:
I just noticed this yesterday night on a 2 hour trip. Pandora was skipping and notifications would cause audio weirdness.

I think I will update to the latest build (2/23), as the CM changelog lists some Bluetooth audio fixes.
[Verizon LG G2] heleos:
Have you tried reflashing your radio or going to 26a or 27a?
[Verizon LG G2] darker_slayer:
When you say it is not detected are you actually getting the "no sim" message in the notification menu? Persistently?

I flashed the 12 alpha build on WiFi and of course got the "no sim" detected message for about ten seconds after booting. Then it went away

Something that happened in my case which I don't remember happening previously. Not long after flashing I went outside my WiFi range and mobile data wouldn't connect to VZW. I knew I was in a good coverage area, so I turned WiFi off completely and rebooted. Voila

2/23 build - the reported audio "ducking" over BT playback sounds like it is fixed. I listened to several hours of play music over headphones and my car BT, no problems. The volume levels seem to be a bit louder too.
[Verizon LG G2] sgravel:
Yes - seems like it's fixed for me too.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
This is likely an issue with your baseband and such, I'd clean flash micromod's debloated 27a, make sure you go back to the jelly bean bootloader and then re flash. At this point 24a is pretty old which leads me to believe you haven't clean flashed stock in a while. I went ahead and kdz'd to 27a then stump rooted, autorec'd, installed blastgator's latest twrp, wiped everything but internal storage, flashed the 2/17 ROM and the latest PA Stock GApps and formatted data... I'm a little bit extreme when it comes to doing clean installs ;)
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I don't think I can be of much help for this issue :/

The only SIM I've ever had in my phone is Verizon.

Sorry :/
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I didn't think about that... Is your carrier Verizon?
[Verizon LG G2] bsg273:
Bit of a newbie question, but I've been lazy about doing the whole root/ROM process for the past 7 months after I got a replacement phone, and haven't flashed CM since the original CM/non-JPC builds (that were God awful in terms of stability of course). Back then, the tools to do the whole thing were a lot different than the ones now, so I was just wondering if anyone had any links to a YouTube video(s) showing the whole process of getting the stock 27a phone prepped for this JPC ROM from start to finish, including doing the Stump Root, aboot, AutoRec recovery for TWRP, wiping everything but internal storage, and flashing the CM12 ROM + 5.0 compatible Gapps? Or any recommendations for a video series on the process? Thanks so much.

SIM card has not been detected on GSM

Hi TheUnladenSwallow, Sorry but I don't think so. I'm on the stock rom with 24a baseband now and the SIM card is detected properly so it must be something in the rom. However I will do all you said. My phone is rooted and I have installed twrp via autorec and I have upgraded the twrp to 2.8.4.0 so I suppose that I just need to flash 27a radio or bootstack. Thanks a lot.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

OK, thanks anyway. Which radio/bootstack you recommend me to flash in order to install your cm12 ?

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

My carrier isn't Verizon, particularly because I live in Cuba, yeah on the beautiful Caribbean. But other people living in other countries like USA still have the same issue. You can review other threads. I have the stock rom and my SIM card is detected without any problem so I think that isn't about carrier, all is about the rom.

Hi guys, I think that I know what is going on !!! I have flashed cm12 right now and I have checked it. The rom is forcing the property "device phone type" to a "CDMA" value and the stock rom just give the "GSM" value. That's it. Knowing that, How can I fix this ? Maybe flashing some file ? flashing xdabbeb's 26a bootstack or something else ? I need the "GSM" value on this property.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
im gonna have to agree with a few posters above about the GSM not working in:

beanstalk 5.02

unofficial cm12 feb 20th

this is a FACTORY UNLOCKED phone

this is a MAJOR Problem

please fix SIM Detection routine

i can see it is not being detected properly

im about ready to try this rom too but i know there will be a problem with it detecting GSM sim cards

one more thing when it IS working correctly you can take a DEACTIVATED GSM Sim and put it in phone and it should switch to global if it is not and then you can LOOK at the APN's on the sim card or if that didnt work i could switch mode to GSM and then look at APN's on SIM CARD

right now it is just bugging out
[Verizon LG G2] ycruzb:
SIM card has not been detected on GSM

Hi en11gma, you are totally right !!!! I think that the problem is occurring in the detection of the SIM like you are saying. The rom needs to detect properly the network and to assign the correct value (GSM or CDMA). The stock rom does the process well so I think that this issue can be fixed. Guys, we are close !!!!

if you want to see how its really supposed to work then you got to try that rom.

If you still haven't flashed xdabbeb's 26a bootstack file (which will give you 26a baseband on a 12b bootstack) then maybe try one of JPC's cm11 builds from before October 26th, which is when he switched to using the 26a blobs.

SIM card has not been detected on GSM

Hi all, I have flashed xdabbeb's 26a bootstack and I still have the same situation, the SIM card isn't detected. The rom is doing wrong the task to determinate the device phone type property. The rom is forcing the CDMA value instead of GSM value. The rom is working wrong in this case !!! I know there are hundreds of people having the rom installed successfully but there are a hundreds of people with this problem too. The rom forcing CDMA value instead the GSM value. The problem is on the rom not on a bootstack or a radio. The rom needs to be fixed in this case. This is my humble opinion !!!
