I prefer a more AOSP look with the statusbar icons. I don't like the persistent data icon even when using wifi and I prefer my clock centered (although I use Nova to hide it on my main screen). I also prefer to have long-press actions for the navbar icons, and again, a more AOSP look. Just my preference and in no way am I complaining about the work you've done. I'm perfectly fine keeping dalvik. Thanks for the reply though.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Oh, no worries, dude. I didn't think you were complaining at all. I like the data icon (as I just like knowing 3g/4g), but I may make a mod that centers the clock and changes the bar to black. If I do I'll post it. The long-press and modified navbar is doable as well, but having a nice gui to change/configure it all is another story.

For all who updated to 2.0, question. I am running stock 24a and very happy with it but the flash-a-holic in me is saying give this a go. Is it worth it? Any downside? I guess I could I always go back to 24a stock, if I wanted, right?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I see no downside for you. The bootstack is a behind-the-scenes improvement, and, as you say, you can go back or use a different rom and keep the updated baseband.

Art and Xdabbeb's 5.0 camera app. Downsides... Weird SuperSU behavior (fixed with beta). Overall, I'd say update.

This rom is awesome and no downsides yet that I have noticed. Many are having problems with su but I am not.

You can load 2.0 and use Dalvik and Xposed. I switched back to Art just to see how it runs. So far so good for the 1st day.

Make a nandroid and try it, why would xdabbeb know if you can run simple kernel? Worse case, it bombs and then you restore your nandroid.

Hello, I just flashed this rom, I came fro 24a, flashed the proper bootstack. installed the rom g apps and lg apps, Everything seem to be working fine but i am having a problem with usb debugging, I turn it on under developer options, but it does not seem to show up in the status bar not does it show, if i try adb command adb devices it shows no devices attached. I have the proper drivers installed, I was able to get access to adb and usb debugging on the previous rom i was on (aosb). I have no custom kernels installed just the one that came with this rom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Just Curious if any one has flashed the bootstack for 25A and stayed while on aosp and then instead of wiping just boot back into your current aosp rom. I seen where a few have restored backups of 24A aosp without issue.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Might be asking for problems there. I just flashed it then wiped and flashed aicp.

I would clean flash, I'm a slim lover when I'm not on stock. Slim runs just fine on 25A.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Well that's close enough though. The bootstack shouldn't affect the rom. At least that's my theory. Hmm... Might have to test it. Of course this could be like the temptation to touch an electric fence to see if it's on...
[Verizon LG G2] LTunez:
Up & running on 2.0, clean flash. Everything is working really well, as expected, but I saw someone post having issues with slow Sms earlier. Now, while I can't speak to seeing slow Sms, I did have a friend send a long text message today (on AT & T, with a G2) & it was broken up into several 66 character pieces. I've gotten long texts from this friend in the past & before this new version of the ROM, it broke the messages into the usual 160 character pieces. I sent myself a long text message as a test & it correctly broke up the message in 160 characters. So, it appears that it may only be an issue from other carriers, or maybe just a fluke. Anybody else seeing similar issues?
[Verizon LG G2] ncwildcat:
This exactly.. Flashed back to my 1.2.1 nandroid and the issue was gone.. I also saw where the broken up messages came in very slow... Sending sms seemed fine. The rest of the rom is very snappy and works well, but that sms thing was killing it for me.

Has anyone else experienced severe delays in the screen turning on for incoming calls?

I have a password on the lockscreen, always have. I noticed it started occurring more frequently on 1.2.1 in the days before 2.0.0, and continues on 2.0.0.

One thing I noticed is that I didn't have the issue when I put the phone on ART. Once I switched back to Dalvik, the issue persisted.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
2nd Post updated with the latest version of the G3 keyboard (5.0.18). You can either install it as an update to the one included in the rom (if you want to test it first) or flash it to system. Seems to be a little more responsive and the predictive text actually works.
[Verizon LG G2] Esteway.619:
Thanks dude.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
When you plug your phone in, say to copy stuff back and forth, are you able to use mtp (or whatever mode that's called that enables copying stuff)? What about charging mode? When you plug it in does your computer recognize your phone at all?
[Verizon LG G2] sojrner:
Stock does suck with auto brightness adjustments. Horrible really. I've been using lux and have never looked back. Tweak settings to the way you use things and then never have issues. IMO, best app this side of xposed for the G2.
[Verizon LG G2] Jimi Mack:
I had the same issue, I tried installing twice and each time my PC would not see the phone. But after restoring to the prior version and returning to the 24a baseband, no issue.

[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
The guy a few above yours said he had the same issue but fixed it by flashing back to the previous bootstack and rom. So if nothing works, try that.

Do you have debugging on when you plug the phone in? If so, untick debugging, plug it in, then tick the box.

Have you accepted the pop-up that allows rsa (I think it's rsa, I can't remember)? I know this is essential, so if you haven't, that could be the cause.

Battery life has always been stellar on this ROM without a custom kernel. If you're not getting at least 5.5 hours SoT with around 25-30 hours per charge, you're not doing something right.

ART vs. Dalvik

I have a dumb question. So, I activated ART when I flash this rom the first day it came out. So today, I decided to switch back to Dalvik. I wanted to try some xposed tweaks. Anyway, I noticed that I had about >1GB swing in storage space, after moving back to Dalvik. Can this be right? Did I do something wrong when switching to ART?
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
From what I understand about art is that it's able to load apps faster and better on battery because it stores pertinent information about the apps that allows the system to retrieve the information faster. So the downside is that it uses space, upside is speed.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
You didn't do anything wrong. With art the app is compiled to native ahead of time vs just in time (dalvik). This results in much faster execution, but an increased use of space due to all of it being done beforehand.
[Verizon LG G2] TPS_Reports:
That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
[Verizon LG G2] DoubleDeuce22:
One thing I did notice is that if you are in an app that keeps the screen from timing out (I used candy crush) and you use the button on the back to shut the screen off. Then if you bring up the lock screen (maybe an accidental double tap from the pocket) the screen will not time out. This could kill the battery just something to watch for. Other than that on art this thing sleeps like a baby. I think I am going to have to learn a little about smali as I need a few in app tweets like forced rotation and dpi changes that I previously relied on xposed for. Great job xdabbeb!
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
That screen-on thing happens regardless of the rom or art. I have a stopwatch app I use when pulling espresso shots that keeps the screen on and did it myself plenty of times in the past :eek:

As for rotation...no need to do that in smali. You can just add android:screenOrientation="portrait" (or landscape) to whatever activity you want in the manifest. Dpi changes would also be in resources. Give it a whirl.
[Verizon LG G2] jurington:
First off 2.0 rocks!! I don't know how you do it but keep up the amazing work please :) Secondly is there any apps out there that will let you tweak things in the status bar that are art compatible? Or can someone send some links to where I can read up on how to tweak things, I'm always up for learning new things.
[Verizon LG G2] JDROIDS:
I think there are many factors that go into individual battery life. For one, your screen brightness level can seriously affect the battery life/ screen on time.

Knock code

I've seen mention of knock code, but can't tell if it's available and/or working on this rom (just installed 2.0.0). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Verizon LG G2] vastateofmind:
Amen, brother. I don't know what theclash150 is doing on their setup, but I don't get anywhere NEAR the stats that they do -- in fact, I'm lucky to get 2.5 to 3 hours SoT, and around 17-18 hours total from one charge cycle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not *****ing -- that's a huge improvement over what I used to get on the Galaxy Nexus... :)

Trav06, knock code is not available on this ROM. Personally, I don't need or want it. Double tap on and off is fine for me.
[Verizon LG G2] trav06:
Thanks. I agree, it's not needed, but if it combines the double tap to wake and pattern lock steps then I would be all for it.

Don't disagree with that, trav.

It doesn't. Knock code removes knock on, that's why so many people post about knock on breaking.

So I did flash bootstack and rebooted into aosp just fine. But have since installed 2.0. Enabled art. Runs great. Except the sms thing which is maddening sometimes. I did notice as well that 4g was hanging on alot better on edge signal. Have 4g in my yard. Never did before. 1x signal is about the same. But I did compare signal strength against a G3 today. Looking @ db the G3 was amazingly better on average - 10db better for 1x. 4G was about the same.

[Verizon LG G2] gotwillk:
about to update to 2.0 from 1.1.1. i know, i'm a few versions behind. just wondering if ART is playing nice with everyone so far. i've never tried ART before and wanted to stay away until the apps were more stable and more supported. also, i shouldn't have any issues coming from 1.1.1 as long as i flash the 25a bootstack first right?
[Verizon LG G2] kmcrane:
I would flash 25a bootstack (I rebooted recovery but may not be needed). Then wipe everything, and install rom. When it boots up sign in and choose to NOT restore apps. Once it's completely up go to developers section and enable art. Wait for it to boot. Then install your apps manually. That should ensure that everything goes smoothly.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Yep. Just got done updating wife's g2 and running art. Download all zips, verify md5 of all, reboot to recovery, flash 25a bootstack, reboot back to recovery (option in reboot menu on home screen of twrp), wipe cache, Dalvik, data, system, but not sdcard, flash ver 2.0.0, wipe cache and Dalvik (probably not necessary, but I always do), reboot system. Once booted, sign in but uncheck if you want Google to backup and restore app data, go to settings, about phone, tap on build number a few times to enable developer options, go to developer options, select art as run time. It'll reboot (takes a while). Once booted you can reboot back to recovery to flash lg or Google Apps (or anything else). I restored wife's apps with TiBU. The only one that had issues (so far at least) was timely. Unistalled and reinstalled and it's fine.

First of all, great rom. Just put it on last night and it's loads faster and has better battery life than stock.

On another note, is anyone having trouble getting the microphone back onto the stock keyboard? It's got the settings button on it and, normally, you can hold that button down and select the microphone. While doing that allows me to use the microphone (talk to text), what I'm after is to get the microphone to replace the settings icon on the keyboard. I was able to do that before and can't anymore.

Can someone else try it and verify what I'm saying or give me an idea for a solution?
