give this a go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425346 works fine for me on the new rooted kitkat :)

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

thats a no go for now. there is work being done to allow a flashing of the 24a ota from a 12b rooted w/recovery rom but until perfected and made to work as a normal flashing it isnt being released. sit tight if you need a recovery and enjoy the kitkat goodness :)
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
I had to calibrate mine. With maps open, slowly spin around a few times. Worked for me.

May have missed this. Does Google Wallet work?
[Verizon LG G2] Sabra56:
Apparently Tap to Pay in Google Wallet does work according to someone who posted earlier in the thread.
[Verizon LG G2] tkuligowski:
Does the hotspot provision mod still allow for tethering in KitKat?
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Thanks for the link but mine isn't giving root errors, it's just saying it's unable to communicate with IRIS. Bad SIM maybe? It was a new SIM with the G2.

It boots, click Get Started, throws communication error. I've tried on 4G and Wifi, from different locations. Weird.
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
I haven't been able to get it to work for any kind of connection sharing. Post to the hotspot mod thread if you get anything to work or have any ideas.
[Verizon LG G2] deathshead:
$40??!!! IM IN ! does isis still only accept like 2 cards tho?
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
I tried to SQLite Editor to manually try changing some application database settings (related to mobile hotspot - figured it was worth a try). I can't seem to gain access to any application database settings even though SQLite has been granted root privileges. Any knowledge of why or how KitKat may have changed the mechanism for access to application database properties and settings? Wondering if there may be some other steps necessary to regain access to the app DB for temporary modifications, even if it involves modification using remote adb commands from PC?

Update: Sorry first attempt I downloaded the bogus SQLite editor (not the real one from Speed Software) which is apparently not worth cr*p. OK, after installing the real SQLite editor I don't see the database fields that have been modified in the past to gain access. "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0 was used on AT&T Kitkat 20c but is nowhere to be found on G2 24A. I am doing a little more eyeballing of the database fields to see if I can locate something of interest, any help or suggestions would be great.
[Verizon LG G2] rmcomer:
When I finally was able to connect (kept getting the communication error too) Isis had me set up a free AMEX Serve prepaid debit card. Once it was all set up, I was able to link other cc/debit cards / bank accounts to it if I wanted to add to the balance, just like when Google Wallet was initially started. When I checked the balance it showed the free $40 added to the Serve card.
[Verizon LG G2] 1Thess523:
Download Xposed and Rootcloak. You can add Isis to it and thus hide root from Isis.

Ta da! ?
[Verizon LG G2] NyPlaya513:
thats odd, yea check to make sure they gave you the NFC sim. When I got my phone (off ebay) it was brand new but came with a pre-activated sim. They had to give me a new sim and even when I asked for nfc they gave a normal one. I had to go to another store near my house just to get the correct one.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

as of this moment, all reports are it isnt working

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

strange enough, I need to test it somewhere else. I have a vending machine at work which gives the error "card not accepted" and then I switch back to isis as I did on 4.2.2 and it works fine. to answer the possible next question, yes I went into settings to choose google wallet as preferred tap and pay and still got this.
[Verizon LG G2] 1ManWolfePack:
You guys getting a full transparent status bar with ALL wallpapers? That kinda ish is important for me to know.

A screenie of the home screen and pulldown would be appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] 1ManWolfePack:
Good man. Thank you. I can tell you're using xposed, so hopefully it's fully transparent without root.
[Verizon LG G2] mademan420:
Good eye:cyclops: the only thing im using exposed for is gravity box(battery icon is the only visual change I've made) and greenify exp
[Verizon LG G2] qisdtech:
For those that have updated, how does the signal strength compare on 24A OTA vs 12B ?

Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] mademan420:
Seems comparable but I live and work in an area with strong VZW service. Battery life seems better. Not sure if its kitkat or the new radios....
[Verizon LG G2] hoangan12:
can't auto hide navibar,
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Pull down shade works much better. On 4.2.2 you could swipe down to be being it down and swipe down again to pull it up (weird I know) and was picky about grabbing it at the bottom to swipe up.

Now, swipe down to drop down the notification shade and swipe up to close it, like it should be. I find any starting swipe about mid down then up will snag it. It was picky before. Much easier to open and close now.

Still can't get iris to work. What's with the SIM? I got mine new at Verizon preloaded with a new SIM. My NFC works. Maybe something about encrypted something something.

Weird why it just says unable to communicate with iris.
[Verizon LG G2] NyPlaya513:
no see, thats where your confusion is. NFC in the phone is fine, but isis uses the sim nfc to work. You need to have this special sim for it to work properly. This COULD be your issue if it isnt the proper sim. As mentioned, it worked on my stock 4.2.2 and works the same for me starting fresh on 4.4.2 as long as I use that xposed mod I linked you to.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Anyone else experiencing very bad upload/data connectivity issues in general??
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
Nope ^. Being in a fringe zone around water, my signal has improved slightly. Wi-Fi seems to be working a bit faster, but the phone still hates AES and wants TKP only to achieve speeds higher than 3/6 with Technicolor router/modem.
[Verizon LG G2] slagg3r:
Does the home screen transparency work with muzei?
[Verizon LG G2] scififan68:
I've found it works better in some places, but worse in others, and low signal areas are iffy for data, but 4G LTE areas always work fine, its the 3G fallback that is buggy. In low signal areas webpages randomly won't load webpages when on 3G, but if it gets a wiff of 4G LTE it starts to load right up. In some places it works just fine, so I'm not sure if its a bug or the signal meter is off and the signal is too weak to load anything or what.

I have isis wallet and Google Wallet, so I will test both out soon, I know the only place for google wallet that works is Mcdonalds, so I will go there trying to use both and post my results later. now Google Wallet doesn't say vending machines work, so that may be why the vending machine said "card not supported" but I could be wrong. But isis says it works at coca cola vending machines, so going to have to try those too. EDIT: tap and pay does work!
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Yes
[Verizon LG G2] qisdtech:
I have been running the 24A OTA for about a day now. The phone operation is definitely smooth but I too notice poor 3G and even WiFi throughput speeds. LTE speeds seem ok however. I have had several data hiccups while on 3G. I plan to give it another few days to see if it levels out, but if not I suppose I can always go back to 4.2.2 12b. I also get the GAPPS has crashed error after rebooting the phone.
[Verizon LG G2] Rider797:
For your GAPPS crash, are you running Swiftkey keyboard? I was having a GAPPS crash after every reboot, as soon as I uninstalled Swiftkey the crash went away.
[Verizon LG G2] qisdtech:
As a matter of fact yes I was. Unfortunately the poor data throughput on 3g caused me to revert back to 12B.
[Verizon LG G2] freebird_78:
Anyone having ****ty results with the LG keyboard? I'm getting random spaces while typing and occasional hangs that cause me to tap the text entry box again.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
Is anybody else getting crappy battery life? I used to get 50+ hrs with light to moderate usage. My battery dropped 25% overnight with no usage at all. Wake lock detector isn't finding anything wrong. Inside battery stats, however, cell standby is using the most battery power. Should I factory reset?
[Verizon LG G2] soulz:
Any SOD please report :)!
[Verizon LG G2] mademan420:
Havent had any SODs here and Ive been running this since the manual install method was posted a few days ago:good:
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
No problems here. I'm averaging over 20hrs with over 4hrs s.o.t.
[Verizon LG G2] soulz:
great :) did you ever get any SOD before on previous version of android? I recall some LG G2 are fortunate and blessed with no sod but mines the opposite with consistent sod >< that's why i moved to AOSP.
[Verizon LG G2] mademan420:
Never on stock but I did like clockwork while running AOSP
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
Somewhat. Not that bad though. My SoT is much worse than 12B. I'm beginning to wonder if GRAM is working properly on KK. I'm assuming im getting about 10% more drain overall, and maybe near 25% more with long screen time no matter the app.

[Verizon LG G2] jasonsf:
The only problem I'm having so far is with Verizon's Visual Voicemail. When I launch it I am told that my Voice Mail service needs to be updated. The updater spins for a brief time, then I get a message saying that "Customers on government or corporate accounts are not authorized to complete this transaction." I AM on a corporate account, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do to fix it.

Any chance that the app included with this build isn't compatible and when the OTA finally gets pushed the issue will be resolved?

[Verizon LG G2] getut:
I guess I never got an answer to this in another thread because it was the development section... but can the 24A radio be used with an AOSP ROM like CM11? I had always heard that radios were independent but I want to be sure before attempting to flash the new radio.
[Verizon LG G2] burkett375:
Definitely a Bluetooth or xposed issue. Getting great battery life after turning off bt and uninstalling xposed

[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
I'm up to 4 and 1/2 OST with 51% left at home on steady Wi-Fi rooted stock with exposed for greenify and a couple G2Xposed mods on. Made a couple calls and texts, lots of chrome and taptalk browsing. No Bluetooth errors or wakelock troubles. Location settings maximum accuracy, history and reporting on w/ NOW widget on homescreen, Google device manager locating/remote off. I guess things just needed to settle.
[Verizon LG G2] R0gersism:
This may have been an issue on my part but I flashed 24A just fine. Then was able to get TWRP onto the device then install CM11's KK. I went back into recovery and accidently wiped the rom off along with internal storage. I try to get the device into download mode and while it goes into download mode it seems to just lock there. Not sure where to take it from here.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
I use Xposed G2 Settings and no ill side effects on 24A.

Battery life seems noticeably longer on same usage.

LG Keyboard has always sucked for me. I really wish it didn't though. Honestly Thumb Keyboard is the best I've ever used, and I've tried them all. I didn't have issues with Gapps and Swift Keyboard either. I actually used swiftkey keyboard for a while until I caved and went back to Thumb Keyboard. Every other keyboard has crappy word correction.

I haven't tried Visual Voicemail either. I'm also on a corporate account. I think its disabled already. I haven't fooled around with Bluetooth either.

So far I have absolutely no issues. No SOD or reboots or anything. Just as stable as 12B.
[Verizon LG G2] dajmanjt:
Yea I'm getting the same battery life from the stock kernel as I used to get from jellybean custom kernel underclocked... that's a win. All 4g no Wi-Fi.
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
^ Seems about right to me. Remember people, GRAM plays a huge role in OST per app. Mileage will vary greatly depending on app usage.
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
With the issues some are having using mix and match ROM parts, I'd be cautious too.

I don't know what talks to the radio / baseband (RIL = battery interface layer?), but in general, the kernel is responsible for the hardware / software interface. I'm on the stock 24a "manual OTA" from VzW and have only skimmed the CM11 thread, but I believe the combination that's working there is a 12b aboot combined with a 24a boot image (implying a 24a kernel) modded to be copacetic with the aboot - and I don't think those mods would have any impact on radio use.

So - I believe the new baseband will work for you (please correct me if I'm wrong!), but I strongly suggest raising the same question in the 24a CM11 thread; you should get a definitive answer there. (and whatever you do, make sure you have your "disaster recovery plan" ready to go in case of problems).

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

I've had BT on continuously, and battery life is great - at least as good as on JB (I'm on 24a "manual OTA").

I've also had xposed installed and active, and G2 xposed and tweaks box installed - but didn't yet start flipping on mods through them. In this state, battery has still been great. This makes me wonder if some specific option you activated is responsible for the difference you saw with and without xposed.
[Verizon LG G2] STEV307204:
4.4.2 has been awesome so far. Camera is launching much faster and overall smooth. GPS has changed to Location with afew settings changed. KnockOn is flawless. No problems so far. Haven't really tested battery but so far so good.
[Verizon LG G2] Rippley05:
I have nothing but positive things about Kit Kat as well, but the knock on feature that everyone says functions better is still just as hit or miss for me as it was on 4.2.

It's not a big deal tho.
[Verizon LG G2] BOY_:
So far, my battery life has been markedly better than on JB and no real bugs to speak of. That said, auto brightness now seems to ignore the level you set (used to be minimum brightness). That and a carryover bug from JB where xposed breaks lockscreen shortcut icons from theming.
[Verizon LG G2] s_wall98:
Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this. Still loving the build though.
[Verizon LG G2] deathshead:
Auto brightness still sucks, still too slow and dim..
[Verizon LG G2] keypox:
yeah its bad... on JB it didn't do that. When I tap on, its so dim i can't see for about 1.5 seconds. Guess I gotta turn off auto brightness. It really seems about the same as before. Not locking up as much now...
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
I think it is definitely better than JB implementation but still is not where I would like it so I can depend on it 100% of the time. But I honestly see a real improvement, i.e. my phone would never turn on with knock-on if it was in non-upright facing position. Now alternate orientations seem to be able to unlock with knock on, but still a reasonable percentage of fails.
[Verizon LG G2] sc4tteredflasher:
So I'm reading a bunch of reviews that still point to bugginess in the manual OTA; I guess my question then is: is it worth it to try the upgrade right now or should I stick with a 12b custom ROM until the official ota comes out?
[Verizon LG G2] BOY_:
Any bugs you're hearing about are minor annoyances. The leak is STABLE and definitely a cut above any custom rom I've ever run on the g2.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
What bugs? There are some things that were issues in JB that are better in KK, such as knock on, and an overall improvement in responsiveness. Which is reason enough to make the jump. Its better, and more stable than any custom 12b Rom and certainly better than aosp. With the possible exception of knock code and potentially more bloat and less exploits, this is the ota.
[Verizon LG G2] Ainvar:
Been running the Manual OTA 4.4.2 since March 30 and the only issue I have really run into is data related. Mainly while on 3G where I work. The other issue is with Google Play Music. If I try and stream a radio station while on VZW air waves I will get random music stopping with an error stating problem streaming data. I hit it will resume and sometimes stop again. I figured it is something with Play Music and the 4.4.2 ROM for the G2 and will be fixed once it is officially released. Pandora doesn't have this hiccup and streams very smooth.

Other than that, loving 4.4.2 on this device. I switch back to it from my Moto X to play with it. Miss some features from the Moto X like active notification and the BT trusted devices which would keep my phone unlocked while it was around me. Other than that the G2 is where it is at.

No issues with BT audio with the LG 730 or 750 headset or with the HTC A200 while in the car. Connects to my pebble and fitbit without an issue, and also to a few other BT devices I use. Battery life is great. Knock Knock feature works 100% of the time now.
[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
I've rooted and flashed my previous phones (HTC and Samsung) countless times, and always tried a bunch of roms. However for some inexplicable reason I'm very hesitant with my G2, which I just bought a week ago.

I still am not sure how to back up/restore EFS if things go wrong, the LG toolchain is new, I'm not sure if after rooting I will be able to install a 4.4 AOSP right now, but not a LG one, right? I think it might be better to wait for a proper workaround to be found like Loki before.

Apart from a little lag, I have nothing to complain about the phone. The AOSP roms all seem unstable after reading the various threads, and the other statements above confirm this.
[Verizon LG G2] heffzilla:
When you root with ioroot 25, your efs will be backed up automatically. There will be flashable 4.4 stock ROMs available tonight according to different devs.
[Verizon LG G2] leemsami:
I'm on the 24A OTA and everything is working flawless except the charging doesn't seem as fast as it was on 12B. I'm using the OEM charger and USB cable and it's takes forever to charge. Is anybody else experiencing this?
[Verizon LG G2] IamPro:
When I hid the navigation bar, it still has the pull shortcuts (Voice Mat, Google Now, Quick Memo) which prevents me from using something like Ultimate Dynamic Navbar or GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys to their fullest... any idea how to hide nav bar totally?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Nope, no problems with stock charger/cable charging rate.
[Verizon LG G2] bowen873:
I'm using Apex Launcher, so I used Titanium Backup to freeze Google Now Launcher and Home which did away with the pull shortcuts. GMD is working fine for me but I'm still having issues with UDN. Half the time after a reboot it doesn't launch, even after toggling the app off and on (and I have it set to start upon launch).

I take that back - I'm having the same issue as you are. The pull shortcuts are what is causing UDN not to work for me too. I thought I removed them, but they're just slow to pull up.
[Verizon LG G2] kkozma:
Been running it for about a day now. The only thing I've noticed is that I don't get any notifications at all with google voice. I've tried all the "fixes" I've been able to find, but it still doesn't work. :(

Anyone else?

Edit:

So I was able to fix this by installing a messaging + google voice from the market. As soon as I installed that, my GV notifications started working. Uninstalled it, and they're still working. WEIRD!

For those that don't like the auto brightness, try lux auto brightness. I have the pro version and i don't let it get below 66%

[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
people are saying knock-on always works.. still exactly the same as before for me. sometimes require like 5 taps to turn on.

also had a bug this morning when I went to tap on my screen after charging overnight, the led came on and stayed on, but the screen just never turned on. that was annoying.

glowfly no longer works on kk. it won't clear the read and replied messages from the stock app, and doesn't correctly appear over the lock screen anymore.
[Verizon LG G2] Dri94:
Hold down 9 the second knock and it'll always work jb or kk
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
haha holding down on the second knock makes it NOT work for me..just tapping it works. weird.
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
Sup jayochs?

On my original device knock on was pretty spotty. On my clnr, two taps- every single time. No fail.
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
that's interesting..mine typically works, but there have been times where i gotta keep pounding it to get it to turn on lol..

btw, weren't you from the OG Inc forums? or rezound maybe? i know that name lol
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
Both actually, plus the s3. You've been following me from phone to phone for awhile now. Stalker.

hahahaha i knew it! remember Nils' Business Sense? man i loved those OG Inc roms. hahah
[Verizon LG G2] 1heffer:
NilsP-sweet! I'm pretty sure I still have a copy of that Rom on the sd. Probably right next to a wildstang Rom.

[Verizon LG G2] Raverrevolution:
UPDATE:bug has fixed itself. I ended up installing Xdabbeb's rom and all works good now with the led. Go figure...

Curious if anyone is getting this bug, if it is even a bug.

I like to use Google Hangouts as my default sms app and somehow when my volume is put on silent I won't get any notification lights for any messages that have come in. It's really annoying at work since I rely on that led to blink.

I've researched this online and some people suggest installing light flow, but I really don't feel like taking a chunk out of battery life for that. Are there any easier, more integrated solutions?

Things I've tried so far;

-Checked settings in both messenger/hangouts

-Cleared caches and uninstalled/reinstalled hangouts

-Xposed LED control module

Nothing has worked. It's like the phone only exclusively wants the default messenger for it to all work correctly. And also this is specific to KK as in JB it always worked correctly. Also in JB it was as both apps would work simultaneously, but the default messenger notifications would be suppressed, yet in KK it's as though the entire default messaging app is disabled when choosing hangouts for a default.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I had to replace mine for it to work, VZW replaces them for free. Now if I could only get my Serve account to link to Isis I'd be in business. I am showing a free $25 in the account on AMEX's website.

It works fine. Charge over 1.5A with any compatible base/cable.

I'm seeing the same issue with Google Play Music. Stops mid song with a playback error.

I just renamed the music2.apk and odex and installed it straight from the Play Store, going to see if that helps any.
[Verizon LG G2] Ainvar:
Let me know if that solves the issue for you.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
No go. It's weird because I've used this app on other 4.4.2 roms without issue, not sure what LG is doing to break it in this one.
[Verizon LG G2] tkuligowski:
Is it just me or does kit Kat bring the brightness down? I'm guessing its the auto brightness working differently. I have mine set at 60% and auto brightness enabled. This is the stock out of the box setting. After updating to kit Kat it seems a lot darker.
