GAH! Root Explorer is force closing nonstop again. It ran fine for the last however long. 36 hours, maybe? Suddenly, it shows as not purchased in the Play Store (Took care of that), and it force closes on every file operation. Tried fixing permissions, and checking that the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml hadn't changed between this release of CM and the last known working one I had (6/30, I think?)

After fixing permissions in recovery, it's STILL force closing on every operation. Same operations run from CLI in Terminal Emulator are working fine. I'm beginning to think that Root Explorer is just going crazy.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

ES File Explorer is performing the same operations without error. Definitely an app specific issue.

-- further edit --

I hate ES File Explorer. Hate.

Suggestions, anyone?

I can confirm the dirty flash issues. I recently just got a replacement g2. And downloaded this as my first rom on it as I hadn't run this for quite some time. Very very very nice btw. Especially loving the LOUD in call volume. [emoji481] so I flashed and realized I had forgotten to flash gapps. Four years later and I'm still a crack flashing crazed bag of salt. Anyways I rebooted and flashed gapps. Reflashed ROM tho too just because I thought it'd be for good measures. Ended up with the Google keyboard FC's. (I flashed pa stock so it replaces the aosp) a clean flash after that and its been grand. [emoji108][emoji108][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji133][emoji133][emoji138][emoji139][emoji157]????????????????[emoji186] lookout behind you.
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
Just to be clear, *those* FCs are caused by booting with AOSP keyboard and then "dirty flashing" the PA Google keyboard installation script. To use the Google keyboard, you have to wipe, then flash the AOSP KB removal / Google KB installation script prior to boot. I'm not sure if you really have to wipe Data & System, but I know you can't boot before installing the Google KB, because that's when the AOSP keyboard hooks its tentacles into wherever it hooks them.

This issue doesn't really have anything to do with the ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
I'm sure. It's just weird I've never seen it manifest before. [emoji90]
[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
Right. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I was using PA GApps.
[Verizon LG G2] cckeeler:
I have been out of the flashing ROM game for so long I don't know how to find stuff anymore. What is the best location to get GAPPS?

Also, Are there any known issues associated with this ROM anymore? Based on what I am reading there were a lot of issues with other AOSP roms in the past with reboots and SOD's, are they still present in AOSP roms now?

Thanks guys.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Gapps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44417509

As far as SOD's, that was mainly due to most roms using a 4.4 base with a 4.2 kernel. Since this build is 4.4 (like many other AOSP ROMs) in both aspects, there are no more SODs/reboot/etc.
[Verizon LG G2] steeltkb:
I concur!
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
I been using root explorer for years, however I found this while skimming thru the forum. Nice interface. Just installed it but so far seems pretty legit.

I'm at the point where I need to encrypt my phone if I want to have my work email on it. I've tried 3 times to encrypt it. It shows the Encrypting screen for a few minutes at 0% and then just reboots. Has anyone had success with encryption? I searched the thread but all I found were people asking the same question with no answers.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
+1 to this. I'm switching employers and I'm not sure if they will require me to have my email on my device but I've been messing with encryption and no go on my end either.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
Doesn't look bad, but those icons and text are ginormous. As far as being full featured, it appears to be spot on.

Installed Total Commander earlier, though. I loved it so much that I think I peed my pants.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
I'll take a look at total commander.

As far as the text/icons, I actually changed the view to list view, just like in root explorer. Looks much better.

Anyone been able to get chromecast mirroring working? Google enabled it today. I even found the new app that adds the ability and still no dice.
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
Doesn't work for me either and I have also downloaded updated app
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't really "get" Chromecast. There are so many ways to get video or music to your TV, that it seems redundant. Smart TVs, or BluRay players, or a PS3 or XBox360, and I'd assume PS4/XBOne.

Is there a practical application that Chromecast provides that isn't already provided by existing tech that many of us already have? What benefit would mirroring provide, other than to say that you can do it?
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
I think the $35 is the key. I bought one and after not really finding a use for it since I have roku in one room, gtv in another, and another chromecast in stepson's room, ended up putting in 3 year olds room. He can now cast his moobies to it.

I don't do as much as you guys on my phone but recently used ES File Explorer to get your (RandomPooka) sound patch/xml to stick (CMs File Explorer doesn't make sense to me). I only mention it because of irony. Or at least coincidence. And to say thanks.

Also my back button occasionally sticks but overall this phone on this ROM kills any other mobile device I've owned. I'm thinking Google Keyboard may be culprit but killing app with back button resolves the issue so it's really only been a minor inconvenience.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Yes, lot's of practical applications. The main one being portability. When I bought mine I was doing a lot of traveling, having a chromecast in my hotel room made the nights better. They are also very affordable, so buying one for secondary televisions is a great idea. The fact that anyone in the room using an android phone, iphone, or laptop can cast to the device is a plus. The picture quality of the chromecast is quit good. Using it to stream Netflix, it consistently looks better than my wii-u or pc that is hooked up to my television. I can think of many uses for screen mirroring. Easily showing pics and videos to anyone in the room comes to mind. People say that mirroring games is surprisingly good and will only get better. More and more apps are getting chromecast support everyday. For the price and functionality I don't see any reason not to "get" it.
[Verizon LG G2] RyanEJ25:
Me neither. I am excited for this feature
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
Total Commander is legit. Been using it for quite some time. I recommend it to everyone I can... Except I've yet to figure out how to multi-select, which is pretty lame on my part!

Tap the folder or file directly on its icon to select it and others. There's also a multi-select button on the bottom bar

Just an update: I wiped everything including internal storage and system. Reflashed the ROM and gapps and it still wouldn't encrypt. I've given up. On another note, I just preordered the G3 from Verizon.
[Verizon LG G2] JackpotClavin:
I'm not really sure why encryption isn't working :/

It worked on official CM11 I presume? I've Googled around and found that some people have had similar issues with G2 variants running custom ROMs. I just don't have enough time to wipe my internal storage of pictures and everything to troubleshoot why it isn't working, I apologize :/

Anyways, a new zip is up, it uses newer CM11 source which is similar to nightlies dated on July 9th
[Verizon LG G2] tom1226:
Thanks for keeping this updated! Quick question, do you have any idea how I could get the ISIS app to download from the play store? It's "not compatible with my device", and I'd like to keep taking advantage of the spend a dollar get a dollar back promo. Tried playing with renaming the product.model and .device build prop lines, but no dice.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Not sure if you use xposed but they have modules that make all apps available in the play store.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Changing my build prop to hammerhead made chromecast screen mirroring work.
[Verizon LG G2] tom1226:
Yep I'm all about xposed (used RootCloak forever to be able to use ISIS while on rooted stock ROMs). I'll check out some modules, didn't even think to look. Any recommendations?
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Maybe play permissions exposed or play store fixes.
[Verizon LG G2] tom1226:
Ah ok. Nope, no dice. I'm not sure if it's something that can be edited/added in the build.prop or if there is something from the stock framework that ISIS would look for...

[Verizon LG G2] EtherBoo:
I was asking about 3 pages ago for some clarification on how to install. In case anyone comes across this, I wanted to post a simpler set of instructions I used and have had no problems with (it also serves as a way to confirm I didn't miss anything by not doing the command line stuff in the OP :)). If you don't have any experience with the Official LG Flash Tool, this might be a little confusing, but the process was much more "1 Click" to me as opposed to running command line stuff that I've had issues with in the past.

First, I used the Official LG Flash Tool to flash to stock. I then got all of VZW's updates to 24A. Then, I rooted with ioroot25 and installed the AutoRec APK (Instructions for how to root and AutoRec APK here; it's a really simple batch (.bat) file that only requires you have drivers installed). AutoRec will install TWRP for you. Open maps to get a GPS lock to make sure it's working, 4G, and vibrate.

Next, once I was rooted and had TWRP installed (wipe system/data/cache), I flashed XDDB's ROM linked in the OP. Booted up, all good. Open maps to get a GPS lock to make sure it's working, 4G, and vibrate.

Again, wipe system/data/cache, then install JPC's ROM and gapps. Done, really simple and not as scary as the guide in the OP.

Hope this helps anyone in need of advice, it's just unfortunate it will get burried and someone will probably be asking for help in about 5 - 10 pages and miss this.
[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
Good recap, but you do not need to do flash XDDB's rom. I just flashed this yesterday coming from pure stock 24A and found the instructions easy to follow myself.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Only reason you flash xdabbeb's, or anyone else's stock based 24a ROM is for your radio. There are portions that are installed that just flashing the 24a modem won't do.

So coming from stock 24a its not needed. Its for people upgrading from a 4.2 based ota

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
Yes, I get that and the OP went all the way to stock 24a, so he didn't need to do it. Just trying to save some time for individuals in the future.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I know. And I was only reinforcing what you said, and explaining why it needed to be done.

All of that came from the Mahdi thread with it being the first mass device'd ROM based on 4.4

Come to think of it, if you follow the op I don't think that you need to flash a stock ROM

Most people choose malladus or xdabbeb's thread to update the boot loader.

[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Has anyone tried changing the ro.product.device to hammerhead in build.prop? This works for Mahdi rom and I'm sure that it would work here

im on the latest build (July 10th) and am trying to encrypt my phone through the security settings tab.

it reboots and then just sits on 0% for hours.

is this feature broken??
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
Someone else said it wasn't working for them and JPC said he didn't have time to look for a fix. Maybe you can ask if this feature works in the Mahdi thread. That rom seems to be an acceptable replacement for this one.
[Verizon LG G2] psycho_asylum:
Yeah it definitely does not work. I tried on a fresh wipe and even formatted internal SD.
[Verizon LG G2] jcbjoe:
Is cm11 really that hard to get onto the LG G2.. Do we really have to do all that stuff the op posted just to get it to work?.. Isn't there a G2 maintainer for cyanogenmod?
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
It's not really hard, more just time consuming to read everything to do properly. There is an Official CM for the G2 but it has SODs and freezes every once in awhile due to kernel issues (4.2.2/4.4 incompatibility). Plus the maintainer has personal things causing him to be unavailable to maintain. As far as I know, the spot is still open for the new Official CM Maintainer for the Verizon G2...

My phone is much more picky when it comes to the knock on. It hardly works anymore. Also my touch screen acts crazy all the time now. After reboot it works for a few then goes crazy again.
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
On the previous page someone gave updated instructions on how to flash this without all the bs from the first post. I don't believe anyone reads or uses the search function.

[Verizon LG G2] jcbjoe:
Since this is for 4.4.2 / Kitkat would a jellybean rom be better in the meantime? .. In irc they are saying the jellybean variant for the G2 was also very buggy.. Can you confirm or deny this? [emoji102]

Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] Sonic_44:
I don't even remember how a stock based 4.2.2 rom would run haha. I've only ran CM11 on this phone. So I can't really answer that. But since this rom came out it has been great and I've had no issues with it
[Verizon LG G2] RandomPooka:
I second that. Other than not being able to encrypt the device (which I don't need), everything seems to be working wonderfully.
[Verizon LG G2] EtherBoo:
The G2 maintainer has stopped maintaining the device. The Official CM11 is dead in the water.

This version is much more stable. I posted a recap of what I did that was easier about 2 - 3 pages back, should be much easier to follow.

[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
If you flashed the official coming from this, that would be expected to happen, they're not compatible at all.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

I did. Its not dead if they are still releasing new builds
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Official CM is 4.4.2 base with 4.2 kernel. Hence the bootloop. The builds from this thread are based off 4.4 kernel.
[Verizon LG G2] Nickodarius:
I don't get your point. I came from madhi rom, wiped, installed but it bootlooped. I pushed this rom and installed. Each ROM comes with its compatible kernel.
[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
Unless you also restored the modem and the bootloader to 12b (which is what the official CM rom wants), then you're going to have a bad time. Either way, the official one is full of SoDs and other issues, I would run stock 4.4 over it instead (and did with xposed). Additionally, just because the build bot still keeps spitting out builds, doesn't mean it is"supported", there's a reason it hasn't gotten a M release (aka stable) in four months.
[Verizon LG G2] simon_lefisch:
Did you take KK OTA? Which CM build are you trying to install? Official or from this thread?
[Verizon LG G2] Nickodarius:
I get what you are saying. I suppose I considered nightlies as being supported even though they are not stable builds

Nightlies just keep getting released because the build bot doesn't crash, the way I understand it. There's nobody at CM left bug stomping on the G2.

[Verizon LG G2] Sully9663:
Not having any lag on my install. Try deleting and re-installing first. If that doesn't work do a full wipe and re-install everything would be the next logical thing to try.

Fyi, don't try to flash the two kernels in the stock 24a thread. You'll get a security error during boot and it won't do anything last that. Don't panic though, as you can just reflash cm11 from the op. That will replace the kernel file with the one we're supposed to be using.

Does cm11 have any active notification setting? Such as screen turn on and notifications are on lock screen like in Mahdi ROM.

Also, you can simply flash new updates of cm11 then the kernel without issues yes?
[Verizon LG G2] :
The regular CM11 package still has the JB libraries, so I don't think it will work until the devs fork in 4.4 libraries to match the kernel.

This question has been asked, but not formally answered. Where do you copy the files to if using the adb method (not terminal)? Do they go in the root folder in the root directory as listed above for the terminal method or directly on the root directory?
[Verizon LG G2] brennam7:
They should go directly on the root directory for ADB method. The terminal method users should copy them to the root of their data folder /data/media/0
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
"adb push" it to the Root of the phone and then type the commands from your terminal emulator on your phone (save you from having to run "adb shell". Make sure your phone is rooted. Make sure you type "su" (without the quotes, in terminal emulator) to activate super user status before typing the command in terminal emulator.

You can also copy the file(s) to "Dropbox" and then move it using root explorer if you don't want to mess with adb commands and USB connection business (could be fun with Windoze 8)
