[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
Is there a way to extract system.img and make a zip file of the rom after removing stuff? I also like to add my own ringtone etc, all that is much easier before flashing. Of course the script would also need to be modified to not flash system.img.

I'd request xdadebb to have a version without system.img if possible.
[Verizon LG G2] Jimi Mack:
Not that I am comfortable with. You can add your own ringtones by having them on your internal drive listed in a folders called ringtones, notifications and alarms and they would show up as a choice in what ever app would use them. Then go into Systems/media/ringtones etc... and delete the ones you do not want. I normally strip all audio from a rom myself.
[Verizon LG G2] chewy74:
Why can't you remove them after flashing with tibu?

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Ring tones you can store in a folder on your internal Storage on your phone and any rom you flash should pickup the files for ring tone selection

No, it'll fix DPI errors with Isis. If you've changed the phones DPI and try to set up Isis it'll still give you errors after applying Rootcloak.

This is what you need for Isis to work given you've rooted and customized;

Enhanced SIM

Xposed with AppSettings and Rootcloak

Use Rootcloak to get passed root requirements and use AppSettings to change Isis to its default DPI of 480. Isis functions perfectly after that.

If we take the 24A OTA and root, do we loose download mode? Also when installing TWRP thru ADB we are on 2.3.3, to get to 2.7 we must use OTG to get the 2.7 zip?

GPS and black apps

I've seen a few others mention slow GPS. I'm one of those as well. After a reboot it takes my phone 5 minutes give or take to get a good lock. It's fine until the next time I reboot my phone. I tried JC's CM11 and I can't even get a lock after waiting more than 10 minutes :/ On older phones I've had, there were GPS conf flashes that would fix this issue. I found one and tried to flash it with TWRP but it failed. Any ideas?

I'm also curious if there is an easy way to make gmail and the stock email black with white text. I prefer AOSP/CM11 and I use BlackOut themes/apps there.

I used FasterGPS app with these settings:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21453-optimal-gps-settings-for-galaxy-nexus/page-18#entry943421

However, FasterGPS requires root as it writes over your gps config. I left my phone alone with GPS Status on in the background for the first few locks. After that, I used FasterGPS to write that new config and the results weren't instant. I let it sit without GPS on for a few hours and then tried it again. First lock was in 10 seconds outside my house, and 20 seconds inside my house.

Hey guys .... running Stock VS98024A that I did 'verbatim' per OP ..... I have custom recovery as well via installing the recovery app that Cloudyfa created (I believe) ..... I finally (& carefully) debloated the ROM then rebooted into recovery, made a nandroid backup and well, I guess I removed or have an app 'frozen' that causes my device to boot BUT then it goes to a smaller LG icon that says 'Security Flaw' and bootloops ..... Ironically, I have since found that my PRE-debloated backup is not there any more .... although I do have the TWRP backup of that nandroid copied to my laptop .....

HOW SHOULD I PROGRESS FROM HERE ???? I have a couple 24A ROMs on my sdcard, 24A kernels, PA Gapps.zip & LG Apps.zip >>>

SHOULD I ..... COMPLETELY WIPE AS IF INSTALLING NEW ROM > INSTALL ONE OF THE ROMS (Malludus 2.0.1, CloudyPro II ....) GAPPS, LG APPS, etc ???? .... OR WHAT ?!

Is the xcam different than xdabbeb's camera mod? I upgraded from 1.2.1 to 2.2 and well let's just say not to thrilled about the camera difference. This thing couldn't catch an elephant if it were sitting still. How can I revert back to xdabbebs camera mod.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
This is the same camera mod. Why would xdabbeb not put the camera into his own ROM? Did you flash his 26A bootstack?
[Verizon LG G2] timenewton:
I dont know why he would if he did put a different camera. You are asking questions neither of us know. I had to flash 26a bootstack to flash 2.2.0.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
In the OP states it has 5.1.2 camera which I think is the same one as the other thread. Not sure why your camera picture quality is lower.
[Verizon LG G2] timenewton:
Yeah the camera has to be different. No wayif jumps from 3.2 to 5.0 on one update. I could be wrong though. I just can't get this thing to not be blurry. It is blurry in videos. So I have to hold it for any given time to make it unblurry. Same for pictures.

[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
[MENTION=2012949]jkloeker[/MENTION], the first screenshot looks like you started at 30%, not 100. This rom (and phone) have excellent battery life. If you don't, either something's wrong with your apps or your expectations.
[Verizon LG G2] jkloeker:
No, I started at 100%. I've had the phone since it came out and know what battery life should be like, but I'm not seeing it now. Had to send the phone in to have the screen replaced and installed this ROM the first day I got it back. I've tried pinpointing apps but can find anything on that end. I guess I'll just try a fresh install and if that doesn't fix it, assume the battery is going bad.
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
RIF...The camera is the same....it's updated more frequently than the ROM. Some were actually using XCam before it was integrated into the ROM and version 4 is only for G3 ROMs.

[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
Maybe it's just me but Android OS and Android System percentages seem awfully high. Check things like location settings since that can drain battery pretty quickly.

Also, if you're using Chrome you may want to Greenify it or maybe switch browsers for a while and see if it makes a difference. Although it never showed up high on the list (by name, anyway) switching from Chrome to stock improved my battery quite a bit. Dunno what it was doing in the background but it must have been doing something.

LG (Germany) announced that the g2 will be getting 5.0 after the g3 (fourth quarter 2014).

lg g2 xdabbeb's vs980 v2.2.0
[Verizon LG G2] heymoe:
I asked a similar question about F2FS a few pages back. I would assume that some tweaks to the ROM's install script would be needed to keep it from formatting things EXT4 and would also have to install a different Kernel after the ROM is installed that supports F2FS. Dorimanx 8.5+ seems to have F2FS in it now. There might need to be some changes to the init / fstab so that the OS will mount the partitions correctly as F2FS as well.

Other that that, I don't know if there is anything that might break with this ROM if it's running on F2FS. I never got any feedback to my post.
[Verizon LG G2] Stbrightman:

I've had Google voice since its inception and have used it off and on for voicemail and have never kept it. Lots of issues with it. Transcribed has never worked well for me, and I use it for a business line. I always have to listen to the audio because it's so jumbled. Maybe it's better now but I think I still prefer the vz app, especially since the basic is free now. Thx

Hi guys. Just noticed location is always on for me. Even if I shut it off, the icon stays. Anyone else having this issue? Clean wiped.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
It's not leaving it on...it's just a ui glitch caused by a program that isn't playing nice with art. I've run into one or two that do that (bleacher report and a dashclock plugin). If it bothers you, just open up the maps app and it will clear it...either that or remove the offending app's location permission in App ops.

Yea, it has been happening to me for awhile, so I'm guessing it's a minor bug with Play Services. Opening and closing Maps always clears it.

Bluetooth and Art

I seem to have run into an issue with bluetooth connectivity and art. Basically when i play a song or video on a bluetooth speaker or headphones the audio cuts in and out for the first minute. it seems to cut in and out of the song so i only catch portions of it. it also happens on streams so it seems any type of audio. I made sure my visibiity timeout was set to never and still had the issue.

I have since reverted back to Dalvik so not too big of an issue for me, just wanted to put it out there and see if anyone else is having that issue.

[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
You have no idea what I'm doing, bud. I'm doing everything fine, and reckon I'm probably better at fiddling with phones than you are (ever swapped processors on a Blackberry model?) I was also the first person at the time to attain S-OFF on my old DNA back when people thought it was impossible. So no, I'm not doing anything wrong. The battery life of the previous version was not up to my expectations after coming from my tweaked Malladus ROM, and was only sufficient after flashing a new kernel and/or underclocking the phone with XDABBEB's earlier release.

With that, this ROM's battery life is much improved, but again fairly average in comparison with others. I also modified the keyboard and how it worked with word predictions because it was not nearly as precise as previous keyboards on this ROM.

Overall this is a very good ROM and the camera is the best I've seen yet. I have no had any issues with it and am running it on my daily driver G2.

Anyone else having youtube freeze when trying to watch HD content with a Bluetooth headset? It only happens on 1080p videos, but I 'm not running out of RAM and turning off things like sync don't fix the issue.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but a couple rom updates (25a and b I believe) were released with the stock LG kernel. Once lg finally released the source for 26a (2.2.0), xdabbeb updated the kernel as well. If you previously ran 25a or b, I wouldn't be surprised if battery life (and performance) wasn't as good as 24a or other roms and/or kernels. Quite a few flashed xdabbeb's older kernel on top of 25a and b updates.

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I'm not sure why you'd expect this to work on T-Mobile. This is a verizon rom and the hotspot hack is also for verizon. You're better off using a D801 base with certain VS980-specific driver/kernel/fw changes. I've done so both times I travelled internationally lately. You can even enable a couple more LTE bands that are used in Europe.

I removed them (always have). They're in the removed LG apps zip in the OP if you need them.

I don't know why it was necessary to quote a post from two months ago, but regardless I'd ask that you keep things pleasant. As you've been around for a while I'm sure you know that complaining about battery life issues without any data/logging is generally looked on negatively in a development thread. The response you received was in kind. Given your accomplishments I'm sure you know how to use the available tools to get to the bottom of what is causing it. Generally speaking, [MENTION=5540304]theclash150[/MENTION] was correct. I have helped a number of people track down mysterious battery issues and without fail it was due to something specific they had changed, installed, disabled, etc. I'm also sure you're familiar with the negative cumulative effect on cell capacity that elevated voltage/heat and charging under a parasitic load have on lithium ion based batteries. In other words...unless you have been very careful with how you charged your phone all this time, you aren't going to get the same life from it a year later. Also, what [MENTION=5073488]ffejy462[/MENTION] said is true. 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 did not have my custom kernel as the source had not been released yet.

I haven't, but my bluetooth headset isn't anything fancy either (mono).

Thank you for the reponse and fix. I appreciate it. I was using art so I switched back to Dalvik and installed xposed and the proximity disabler module and that seems to have done the trick. So I guess I can't run art on this. For some reason a select few of us has this proximty sensor on this rom but it's the best rom for my phone so running dalvik and disabling the proximity sensor is no big deal.

Thanks again.

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
If you're getting weirdness with your proximity sensor, I'd recommend contacting verizon for a replacement if you're under warranty. What you're describing sounds like hw failure, and I've heard of a few people on other variants having the same issue. Good luck.

Enough about F2FS, guys. There's a reason why I haven't included it. I'll look into it again when/if I have time, but I did so months ago when it was tech du jour and didn't find it particularly compelling. Its purported performance gains are largely due to aggressive caching/write gathering and infrequent syncing. Yes, that means it may seem a bit faster, but it also means you're more susceptible to errors/corruption. In addition I also read multiple reports of instability with its fsck. No thank you. It may become something great, but I didn't think the benefits outweighed the risks at the time. I'm also not much for including every flavor of the week governor, fs, etc...just as I don't put a bunch of build.prop edits that do nothing in a rom and call it tweaking/tuning so please don't ask. It's not my style, but if you're into that, there are lot of options for you out there.

That said, you're entirely free to install whatever kernel you want, edit your fstab, and format data...which is where you'd potentially see more benefit anyway. System will stay as it is for now. Btw, it's not being "formatted" in the install script (nothing is). It's an entire ext4 image.

A logcat won't help with that. Your best bet is to go to the better battery stats thread and read up on how to use it. There's a bit to learn in order to use it properly, but it's good knowledge to have. Still the best tool for that.

The stock gallery app is the same one included in every stock LG rom and is referenced in many apps. If you delete it, it will obviously cause problems. It doesn't hurt anything or hog memory, so just leave it. I personally use quickpic and they coexist just fine.
