Since the rom dpi is different than stock, play store "thinks" apps are not compatible. You can restore a back up with titanium with out restoring data.

Sent from my LG-VS980
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Change the dog back to stock 480, then after reboot the store will let you install. Afterwards, if you prefer the smaller dpi you can change it back. There are free apps in Play to change it, be sure to backup first.

[Verizon LG G2] Lamski:
I used texdroider dpi to change the dpi. It said I was already at 480 and I changed it to 423 then rebooted but it still did not allow me to download the my Verizon app. I changed it back to 480 again and rebooted but it still wont allow me to download it. What dpi do I need to be at to download it from the play store?
[Verizon LG G2] TEXASMADE1978:
Stock DPI is 480
[Verizon LG G2] Lamski:
There must be some other issue causing it because I have tried several different dpi settings and nothing worked. Would sideloading an apk work instead of using the play store?

Been having similar issues recently. Phone has been slow, running real hot and awful battery (2 hrs SOT max), apps have been crashing a bunch (especially google music). I am going to clean flash 3.1.2 and see how it goes. I'm expecting my issues to be resolved as I have never had any issues with a XDABBEB ROM
[Verizon LG G2] Shujja Haider:
I am facing exactly the same issue.. many main folders like Android folder where files of all apps installed are stored shown to be deleted or corrupt. the size of the files and folders are 0 KB.. and also the roms i have kept are shown to be of 0 KB but when i flash them. .. they are okay..

Whatsapp . the backup is not being restored at all .. infact it takes a long time to register back to Whatsapp..

Screenshots are not being taken..

Would you will tell me step by step what you had adopted to resolve the issue cuz 0KB thing is really annoying .. plus Whatsapp restore not working is also very prolematic.. further.. after new whatsapp resgistration .. no media is being downloaded :(

[Verizon LG G2] moonpie28:

[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
I just want to drop a HUGE "Thank You" to xdabbeb for this ROM.

A couple of months ago I was running his KitKat version on my G2, when the screen started to go. A section across the screen about an inch wide and about an inch down from the top just stopped working. After trying different things to fix the issue I finally gave up sent the phone back for a warranty replacement.

The new G2 came with the latest update--39a and Lollipop. I'd tried that on my original phone, but battery was terrible and I went back to xdabbeb's KitKat ROM.

Well, stock 39a was just as bad with battery. I could (barely) get through the day on a charge, and if I did have something like 20% left at the end of the night the phone would be dead by morning if I didn't plug it in.

I put up with that for a couple of weeks, but then said screw it, I'm rooting this thing and going back to 26a (or whatever it was).

Well, I rooted and came here for the ROM I remembered, and saw that xdabbeb had gone to the 39a base. That worried me, because I figured part of the reason battery had been with stock was because signal was weaker with 39a. But, I tried it anyway just to see.

Wow! With xdabbeb's ROM, my first charge lasted 36 hours! That's nearly as good as the old Jellybean days! I haven't let the battery run close to all the way down since, but I've never been less that 50% at the end of the night, either.

So xdabbeb, thank you very much. I don't know how you made 39a so much better, but whatever you did it is amazing. I don't know if it would have been as obvious if I hadn't had to go back completely stock, but it is a night and day difference!

how is it possible?

[Verizon LG G2] Bobaroo:
Been running 3.1.2 for the past week and its been great. Fantastic battery life and performance. Was on the verge of getting a new phone, but this just extended the life of my G2
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
I agree, it definitely is a great ROM, and wish I could say the same thing... but GPS issues on many phones are unfixable. I could keep this phone for a long time if not for that.
[Verizon LG G2] Zackptg5:
Download assisted GPS injector from the app store
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
I def have tried that... I get no satellite lock at all.
[Verizon LG G2] Zackptg5:
GPS is notoriouslly bad on this phone but if you get no lock at all with assisted gps injector or with any other rom, then it sounds like a hardware issue
[Verizon LG G2] Cobalt2012:
I do like my LG G2 a whole lot ... But I have the same problem. No GPS lock at all on my LG G2. I've tried a bunch of those GPS Injectors, A-GPS downloaders, etc.

I even tried removing the backplate and doing the tape under the contacts trick to see if it was simply a backplate to phone body metal contact issue.

Just gonna wait a month for the new MotoX and be done.
[Verizon LG G2] Nafon:
Sorry for OT post, but when you did the tape trick, did you just take off the main back plate or did you also remove the upper internal back plate that has the screws, volume/power buttons, and camera lens cover? There was a thread and post that incorrectly said that the GPS antenna is the one on the main back cover of the phone.

My phone has developed ghost touches and dead zone right over the back and home button, and it has spread into the area of the screen where the keyboard is.. Sadly the G2 is on its last legs for me even though it is otherwise still a great phone. Looking out for new Nexuses. xdabbeb's Roms always gave me the best stock-based experience, but sadly in my usage, stock battery life was significantly less than AOSP and CM based roms.
[Verizon LG G2] Bwangster12:
Yeah, I made that mistake the first time... but the second time did take off the top back plate and tried inserting a few different things in the antenna on the top left. For about a minute the first time I did it, the GPS worked... but went totally dead after that. The antenna didn't break off, so I don't know what happened. I get 0 lock now.

I had a problem with my first G2 and did a warranty replacement. This phone was fine for a long time, then a few months ago it started acting up. Now it doesn't work at all.

If I can buy the Moto X Pure for $399 and flip my very well conditioned G2 on Swappa for at least $100... I'm moving on.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
You can pickup g2's on eBay for $130 all the time.
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
I get no GPS lock on a fresh install of 3.1.2 (and various other stock based roms) but it works fine on CM 12.1 official.

I was able to get it to work with a "GPS fix" app from the Play Store, but it only would lock 5 or so satellites and drop out.

On CM based ROMS, I lock 15+ satellites with no performance issues.

Despite all the info out there about this being a hardware problem, I am more inclined to believe it is a firmware incompatibility.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
Is there a way to hide persistent notifications from lockscreen like Lux and 1weather?
[Verizon LG G2] kimush:
Tried this rom on my sprint g2 with LP bootloader and i got it to boot, it has very useful custom and stock features that other lollipop roms don't have. I would definitely use it as daily driver but this rom is not meant for other variants so it has a couple of issues like rotation doesn't work, gps, wifi etc. It would be awesome if this gets ported to other variants.
[Verizon LG G2] psychic99:
Folks,

I was having substantial GPS issues when I went to this ROM. The old kitkat ones were spot on, so it wasn't the hardware. I was about to get rid of it (LG in general are horrible for GPS), however a savior posted a gps conf file that entirely fixed my issue, in fact it is faster than ever was before and typically locks in under 5 seconds ALL the time.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61972093&postcount=208

Now, the trick is to remove ALL GPS injector products, sets perms correctly and reboot. In any case this has saved my day.

Note: If you come from an AOSP to one stockish ROM, you must fully flash an old Verizon ROM for the sensors to work properly.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
where do you stick the file?

Edit: system/etc.

How long is it taking to get a lock using a GPS testing app? Still is taking a pretty long time for me.
[Verizon LG G2] psychic99:
I use GPS status app only. You don't want active GPS tool (like GPS fix). I did try and it "fought" with the new settings.

Typically lock takes less than 5 seconds AND it doesn't lose it. It's GREAT. I tried just now and I am inside (bad location) and it took like 2 seconds.

The first time I reset GPS then get xtra data.

Make sure your gps.conf permissions (owner, chmod) are correct and in /system/etc according to the thread. I set own to gps, but the original was root. I don't believe that makes a difference, but I followed directions just in case.
[Verizon LG G2] sojrner:
For lux, just disable the notification... I'm assuming the weather app has a similar setting. It's in app info.

Hope that helps.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
well you can set priority to min, but it'll disable stuff in the status bar as well. Best solution i found was to use a 3rd party lockscreen - cm locker. Really intuitive and simple.
[Verizon LG G2] sojrner:
I wasn't meaning to reduce priority, I was meaning in App Info in main settings of Android, you can uncheck "show notifications" and it will remove the persistent alert altogether but it does not affect priority of the app. The settings within Lux itself will lead you to this location as well. It does not affect app operation and personally, I don't need the notification. It runs automatically just fine. If you feel you want something explicitly to keep Lux open that you can see, you can always run their widget on your desktop... I just like it to be fully in the background so I turned off the notification. YMMV

Has anyone had any issues with Bluetooth draining their battery on this rom? Today a strange thing happened... My phone died just sitting on the table with very little use. I charged it a bit, powered it up and checked the battery usage and Bluetooth shows 28% use and is the first line on the usage list. I've never seen the Bluetooth use so much battery on the phone prior to today. It wasn't connected to any Bluetooth devices at any point today. Any idea what caused this? My phone was Bluetooth "hidden" all day as it always is.

One issue just popped up today with Mobile Hotspot, I searched and couldn't find anything similar.

It seems that encrypted traffic is blocked to my Windows 8 laptop while tethering. I switch to a different wifi network and everything works.

Over the VZW hotspot, however, only unencrypted traffic works (http but not https). VPN, and secure MS exchange ports are also failing.

Thanks for any insight!
[Verizon LG G2] DADER:
To anyone knows a solution for my issue please help...

I was running the Rom with one flaw I wanted to get rid off (android is upgrading) so I wiped data cache and dalvik .the Problem is now after one reboot a message shows "com.android.phone has stopped working" along with the messaging without showing signal indicator.

Xposed is installed

Greenify with "state always ignored for phone and messaging)

Could be that the problem?

Since you wiped data, you might want to flash the firmware again. Then you can Reflash Xposed after you establish there's no problem with the rom.

If you have a good Wi-Fi or big data limit you could download from the phone.

This is my second time back to this Rom. Everything works including GPS and MMS but my phone is really slow. Just having a few things running causes it to lag drastically.

[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Cm has changed to using the 39a bootstack now. The error that you were getting in twrp is as a result of it running a check on the currently installed Rom to confirm it is Cm before allowing it to flash. Cm no longer allows you to flash it over a different rom - it's forcing you to clean flash in that circumstance.
[Verizon LG G2] shaka411:
I guess that would explain why Jack Pot Calvin's wasn't working either. That's a darn shame, I wouldn't have went back to KDZ. Now the steps to get TWRP back on and do the 12B exploit doesn't seem worth the hassle. Maybe I should just pick up the Nexus 5X.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
The autorec app in the play store will get you rooted. Make sure you use the one for your particular device. If the play version only is for 39A firmware then use the older apk from xda.

[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
when you say we must flash an "old Verizon rom" what do you mean.

EDIT: 10/05/2015 - SOLVED!

I have tested this process twice and it gives me working GPS on this build. Can anyone else having GPS issues test/confirm?

I am using TWRP.

1. Flash 39A bootstack and the 3.1.2 rom...boot and set up.

2. Make nandroid backup of davlik/cache/system/data

3. Wipe (factory reset)

4. Flash CM12 nightly...boot and confirm working GPS.

5. Reboot to recovery

3 wipe again (just the default "factory reset" wipe)

6. Restore nandroid from step 2

7. Confirm GPS works.

---original post---

GPS works perfectly in every other ROM I try...KK or LP, stock or AOSP/CM.

I can't understand why we can not solve this 100% instead of workaround.

My gut tells me that we need to be coming from a certain stock sensor base for this flash to work...but which is it?

UPDATE:

Just tested these to see if version or bootstack matters... it does not. All of these have working GPS out of the box:

(24A) CM11 4.4.2

(26A) CM11 Beanstalk 4.4.4

(24A) Stock Verizon 4.4.4

(39A) CM12 5.1.1

VS982.5 1.2.0

Paranoid 4.6 Beta 5

Tesla

Wipe and clean flash to either 3.1.2 or the 39A stock lollipop firmware, and GPS fails. I also tried restoring a nandroid of 3.1.2 without restoring sensors, and that also failed.

Seems that the GPS problem is specific to this build and the lollipop firmware that it is built on. It works on 5.1.1 based builds...so maybe it is a 5.0.x problem??
[Verizon LG G2] frackingdren:
In addition to battery drain issues, I'm having major issues when using Mobile Hotspot with 3.1..2 ROM. The hotspot appears to work fine and everything seems to work when it is on. However, as soon as I turn off hotspot within a minute, everything is very unresponsive with it lagging. I suspect something is utilizing 100% CPU after the hotspot is turned off and I have to reboot the phone to get everything to be responsive again. This can be reproduced repeatedly. I only use the hotspot once or twice a week so it isn't that much of an issue but very annoying. I remember this happening when I first updated the ROM and turned on mobile hotspot and thought it was still doing updates so I dismissed it early on. Anyone else having the same issue?
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Is there any way to restore the "roaming mode" menu? I know VZW did not include it i the base, but I think most users moving forward are going to be MVNO users, and it is important to be able to set to "home only" networks.

Now that I have figured out GPS, this is hands-down the best performing ROM for the G2 in my experience... but the simple lack of roaming control in any stock based rom has driven me back to the CM11...where video encoding does not work. Ugh.

Cant find one ROM where everything works. I think finding a way to add roaming control for stock may become my new obsession. :)
