The camera on this ROM takes better low light pics then the one in the android thread because of chroma flash.

The ROM also runs very smooth.

[Verizon LG G2] TPS_Reports:
I have not moved off of this rom for the camera alone. It's just that good. And I used to change roms nearly every day!!
[Verizon LG G2] ryandubbz:
so it works with flash on or off
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Does this ROM have the Play Music bug where it just stops playing music randomly? Malladus seems to have this issue.
[Verizon LG G2] greekmanx:
I myself have not experienced this bug nor any other bugs for that matter great rom.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
It happens to me just about every time I use it.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
What exactly happens? Play Music is unplayable, or you periodically have to go hit play or something like that?
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I forget the exact wording but it says something like the song you're trying to play isn't available.
[Verizon LG G2] in_dmand:
other than slight camera changes (I was running xdabbeb's camera on malladus) there isn't really any that I have notices other than slight ui changes.

for instance... Here google says that a part of the update to 4.4 is that you don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.

^ this just isn't true, at least with this 24a update. I am sure other things aren't working as well but i haven't verified anything. I definitely haven't noticed any "speed or smoothness" changes from the ART... weird huh

Is anyone else having poor battery life with this ROM? I did a full clean wipe and install and my battery drains very quickly. For example, I'm at 67% battery with only 1 hour SOT. I have a few email accounts, Facebook, etc. But I've never seen my battery drain so rapidly.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
"OK Google" only works in the GEL launcher.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I have two email accounts syncing as well as Tapatalk and a few other apps. I'm getting about 4-5 hours of screen time. The other day I was unplugged for 22 hours with 4 hours of screen time and still had 23% left when I plugged in. I do use boot manager as well as greenify to keep things in check.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Is that over mobile data or WiFi?
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Mobile probably 15 hours of that. Especially the most intensive usage. I forgot to mention to the original question, download wake lock detector and CPU spy. See what's keeping it awake and how much it's deep sleeping.
[Verizon LG G2] sdube3:
It's over mobile data. Nothing in Wake lock Detector seems out of the ordinary or excessive.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Ah okay, that sounds about right.

How is your signal in the area your battery drained the most? Signal plays a huge role in battery life. Also, were you on WiFi? Some WiFi networks can keep your phone awake and drain battery like crazy.
[Verizon LG G2] zeroxia:
Battery life is also poor on my phone. The phone is awake all the time, BetterBatteryStats screenthos attached. Anybody having these "GCM'-related wakelocks?
[Verizon LG G2] jamminjon82:
You probably have Picassa web albums synching under your Google account
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I have facebook picasa, gmail, all syncing. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on always, even when not connected. Poor signal and no Wi-Fi at work. Still getting good battery life. So something is wrong if you're not.

Downloading now to give this a try. I am running Malladus 2.0.2 now but heard good things about this rom. Question for those running it, stock Kernel or other? What do you recommend?
[Verizon LG G2] mrchambo:
You will not be disappointed. I am using the linaro based kernel, which I believe is what's included.
[Verizon LG G2] in_dmand:
Didn't find anything in the play store by that name... Google Experience Launcher doesn't either. you got a link?
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Sorry, GEL was the codename. It's called the Google Now Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher

That won't work for me.

Try this.

[Verizon LG G2] JustSomeDude:
Thanks for the ROM - just got back from a long vacation, where I used your camera mod for 4.2.2 extensively, so was excited to find this as an option to get to KitKat.

I've been reading all the posts about the unlikelihood of the AOSP lockscreen working in KitKat via Xposed or otherwise, which is a bummer... so I was wondering, has anyone maybe themed the PIN entry on the LG lockscreen so it isn't so intrusive (i.e. made the dialpad and entry box transparent)? Is that possible?
[Verizon LG G2] qwirked:
PLEASE!

For the love of all that's holy and profane include a note that when installing the ROM after flashing the bootstack you may get a red lettered "failed" after the ROM installs but all is actually fine.
[Verizon LG G2] mulderato:
Hmm.. may try it. Currently on Malladus 2.0.2. To flash all i need to do is download the rom right and flash as usual? No need for the bootstacks or restore download modes? also.. if I decided to go back to malladus... can i just restore back or will there be an issue with the kernel?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Also.. what are some of the UI changes? I really miss that AOSP feel. Parts of the LG stock rom make me feel like I am on froyo or gingerbread.
[Verizon LG G2] Jivetime:
For all that is proly and hofane, how do you know this isn't an isolated incident? and are you sure everything is fine?
[Verizon LG G2] Ray3rd:
Been running this ROM since April 13th with absolutely no problems . None. And the camera is phenomenal !!! Great job !!!
[Verizon LG G2] qwirked:
Because I chanced the reboot and all is actually fine, and after being in the Android modding community for the past 5 years you kind of get a sense for **** that Devs might forget and just assume people know.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I don't think after reading this thread since it's conception, that I have seen anyone else have that issue.

I have flashed this on four occasions and have not had it state it failed.

Its an isolated issue

Sent from my Vs989 running Malladus 2.0.2
[Verizon LG G2] Jivetime:
Just because you rebooted doesn't mean EVERYTHING is fine. If it said "failed", then chances are something did not install as it was supposed to. And if you've been in the community for 5 years, you would know that it takes more than a single report from a demanding individual to determine if something should be added by the OP.
[Verizon LG G2] qwirked:
Well I'm reporting it then.

After flashing the bootstack and then rebooting rocovery I flashed the ROM, after it extracted and wrote (about 3-5 mins, blue status bar reached completion) it said "failed" however I contuined on and it asked me if I wanted to flash the superuser/root which I declined (after seeing that that bit was also left out of the process and someone encountered and had questions) rebooted and am now on 4.4.2

No complaints so far beyond I hate setting **** back up (which is why I hadn't done this yet) but It's worth mentioning.
[Verizon LG G2] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
I had something similar happen to me when trying to try a stock-based 4.2.2 ROM when I was on CM11. It took like 20 minutes to flash, said it failed, and asked it I wanted to restore root, but every time I tried to boot it would just go straight to the recovery. I seemed to be the only person in that ROM thread having the issue. MD5 was fine and I never tried flashing a non-AOSP ROM since...
[Verizon LG G2] tattooz305:
Loaded this up, no problem. I love how everything is included in 1 zip. Running smooth so far. Thanks for the Rom!
[Verizon LG G2] mrchambo:
Tolja!
[Verizon LG G2] Nandrew:
FWIW I was receiving the failed message after the progress bar reached about 25% over and over until I moved the Rom.zip to data/media. I didn't take chances and kept moving the Rom.zip around using the file manager found under advanced in twrp.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

These are the posts that gave me insurance I wasn't alone.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Actually I believe this is in this thread where the rom said failed and it wasn't related to wrong md5 or improper flashing procedure. And I think also though he might have been the first one brave enough to reboot anyways. While I agree

something can't be right. It'd be interesting to see if the next user says failed if he reboots he'll be fine.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
That was me. After it failed I just flashed the 12b bootstack back and restored my previous ROM. What can I say, I live on the edge. ;)
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
By all means people, if you have an issue report it. Everything helps, and no worries on looking stupid.

I make myself look stupid on a daily basis.

I had no idea people were having flashing issues.

Sent from my Vs989 running Malladus 2.0.2
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
I posted it that day. For some reason I had to move the ROM to root for it to flash.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I thought you had posted that the 12b revert failed on you. I wasn't aware you meant the ROM.

Sent from my Vs989 running Malladus 2.0.2

Nah, the revert worked flawless. As did the ROM once I moved it. It makes no sense to me at all but I'm happy I did it. Been running great since then.

Google Wallet Force Closes after a restart

Hi All,

I got this rom setup and its lovely by the way.

I installed Google Wallet from the Play Store and got it setup with no problems. However, after I restart my phone, google wallet force closes upon reboot and when I try to open the app.

If I wipe data and set it up again, its fine until I reboot my phone.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] kaluna00:
XDAbbeb - Thank you for all of your hard work. Been using your ROM for a couple days now. Nothing but greatness! Keep up the good work.

[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
I posted about the failed flash issue as well. I was in irc with xdabbeb and we determined that my system partition want mounting correctly. I tried moving the files around the sdcard but it didn't fix it. I also was unable to restore a previous backup from twrp. Reflashed the boot stack file and then the ROM then it worked. But I just tried to wrote and reflash the ROM today and it's back to failed again. No idea what made it work that one time or what is making my system partition not mount.

I flashed the beta of Mahdi 4.4.2 without a problem today.
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
I was wondering the same thing but I didn't want to ask and find out I'm the only one not aware of it. Here's to hoping there's more than just us two.
[Verizon LG G2] ryandubbz:
I'm going to guess it's the same as fast reboot or hot boot better yet I'll try it :)

Edit. Yes it's a hot boot :)
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
I will eventually get around to it. Okibi already extracted and deodexed the KK HotspotProvision mod, but I'll make a flashable one as soon as I have time. The others may have to wait a bit as I'm busy with RL and working on the next version of the rom. As for the camera, I don't have plans to make a flashable zip of it at this time.

I haven't tested it, but from reading the thread apparently some have with no problems. That said, if you flash the bootstack you'll have twrp anyway.

I don't know if you resolved this, but I have always used (and prefer) LMT, but I have it on the right side where my thumb is. I suppose there could be a problem with the navbar ring, however.

I had issues with the swiping funtion of it in hangouts and have seen others experience the same in KK, but as I use swype I didn't bother looking into it more.

All phones using this sensor/soc (and apple with the iphone) are doing upsampling.

Sounds like you've got a few weird issues going on that don't make much sense. My suggestion would be to back up your data off the phone and then do a complete wipe (including full data format) and reinstall.

This is a bug in Google Music running on a number of KK builds. Other online streaming services work fine. I have experienced it myself, though not as often as some have reported. There is currently no fix.

I use BBS all the time, but I think this would be better asked in that thread. There is nothing in this rom that would cause that, but you've definitely got something bad going on. I've seen google account/sync issues cause high wakelocks like that before.

These flashing issues are isolated, but not unique (to this rom, even). I have flashed this rom dozens of times without issue, but one thing I have noted is that due to the incredibly large size, it is that much more likely to show any file-system level corruption or delay problems. The one thing that I do that I know many don't is to actually do a thorough format of all partitions (system, cache, and data). This means not just erasing data while leaving your internal data, but actually formatting the full data partition (where you have to type "yes" in twrp). I'm not saying you absolutely must do this, but if you want to make sure you have a clean system, that's the way to do so. I believe this (and leftover external data) are also the reasons for certain other individual app weirdness. You could always run an e2fsck -nfv from recovery to check first.

It does just that...restarts the shell. I've never liked the term fast-boot as it's a misnomer...also the way I have implemented the shell restart is a bit safer and doesn't require busybox.

Sorry I haven't been able to post as much, but I'm still busy working on this and other things!
[Verizon LG G2] qwirked:
When you've been doing it for this long...

You get a feel of what to watch for, it was making full progress. And I would know if my phone isn't working and yet everything is functioning quite well.

In short, in the words of the great Kimi Raikonnen "Leave me alone, I know what I am doing."

First time it failed I was nervous because I didn't actually watch it flash, second time I watched it the entire time and saw that it seemed to fully progress. Recoveries aren't perfect, **** happens. If it were bricked I'd fix it. (I've already bootlopped/bricked the phone two or three times)

Checked the MD5 sums etc. I didn't place the files to be flashed on the root directory though, so that could be the source of the issue?
[Verizon LG G2] seang:
its wasnt much, but have a beer on me
[Verizon LG G2] trav06:
I'm having this problem right now. MD5's were good and I followed the flashing procedure exactly. I moved the ROM install file to the sdcard folder per some of the suggestions and still not working. Any suggestions?

After flashing the 24A bootstack zip and rebooting into recovery, it asks if I want to install root -- do I?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
yes:good:

try to put rom.zip in root folder of phone
[Verizon LG G2] duke69111:
Thanks kaluna for the reply, however that did not work. I tried the version from the play store and the xposed mod version and neither worked. I can get into the app when I first open it and set it up, but after I restart my phone for any reason it force closes from that point on. Everything else is working fine.
[Verizon LG G2] Nandrew:
I sayed no and all is good (have root too). /Data/media worked for me after half a dozen fail attempts. It's a big file! It will eventually work- don't give up its worth it.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
At the risk of being flamed, I'd suggest switching to twrp 2.6.3.3.

I was having various issues from not having backups restore to being asked if I want to root when I already am. No problems since reverting.

I also posted awhile ago about the failed message when flashing this rom. It'd say failed then asked to install root before rebooting. I'd select no but the rom would still but up ok but didn't wanna take the chance of running it. I also tried moving the rom to the root of the sd card to no avail.

[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
I was afraid it was possible corruption, but hopefully its just a lack of "full" formatting.

Id be interested to know: those of us having issues flashing it, did we check mark the "rm -rf" option in TWRP? I know when custom stuff came out for the G2 initially, that option was the only way to make flashing a rom not take forever. Im wondering if that is not leaving a perfectly clean state for your ROM.

I know you mentioned your install flashes /system directly....how is that different from other ROMs? As I mentioned, Ive installed other ROMs recently without any issues. But just for the heck of it I might format EVERYTHING (even internal storage) the long way (uncheck rm -rf option) then try to reflash your ROM and see if it works reliably. I still cant figure out why it eventually DID flash correctly though.
[Verizon LG G2] Mindrocket:
Yes. That's what I did and I'm currently running this Rom.
[Verizon LG G2] jurington:
Yes I did and I was on 2.0.2 and this rom has been working perfect for me.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
The ROM does work very well... almost just makes me curious as to what XDABBEB has in mind for future releases. Like I've said before, I'm only really missing Splitview (xMultiWindow and xHaloFloatingWindow just don't do it for me). Other than that, it runs great.

Well... maybe some more battery life optimizations.

I have to ask. Is everyone's stock voicemail working? When someone or I call it, I get "call cannot be completed" Someone posted a flashable which shows the app, but it doesn't update and the same message is the response. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] DeaconBoogie:
Potential bug:

When playing high-bitrate audio, the Music app no longer shows the "HIFI" symbol when headphones are connected. It still disables the audio effects UI when playing high-bitrate material, however.

Did anything in the semi-custom kernel change that might cause the hardware to disallow 24/96 or 24/192 audio and force down-sampling?
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
I honestly don't know why anyone would use the stock voicemail. Why not use Google Voice for voicemail?
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
FWIW I completely wiped my phone today. Format data (had to type "yes") thru TWRP, then the standard wipe caches, system. Pushed the ROM zip to the sdcard, and the flash worked first try. Didnt reflash the bootstack first (since I had done it when I initially had problems flashing the ROM)

Took a backup. Later I will try to wipe the phone and reflash the ROM again, since I was never able to do it successfully twice in a row.

I also unchecked the rm -rf option in TWRP, not sure if that made a difference or not.
