[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
how about the battery performace of this rom?

24A stock system (rooted) is aweful. ~93% @ 9:00pm, only ~67% @ 7:00am next day. (data, wifi, bluetooth off)

and cell standby and phone idle cost 60-70% of all. is it caused by baseband or kernel?

i think this rom is great and i'd like to try, but i'm new to LG smartphones. so, if i'm right, flash this by installing twrp recovery, right?

thx
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
[MENTION=4355299]feyWANG[/MENTION], yes, use twrp to flash the 25A bootstack. Be careful to reboot into recovery after that, then flash the rom. Then reboot into system and go to developer settings, enable ART. Battery has been amazing for me with art on this rom!

Is anyone else getting infinite reboots when switching to Interactive governor? I'm using Trickster Mod on a clean flash. Is this a known bug? There's only one post about it when i ran a search but it really didn't say much.

Maybe he wants to video his cat doing something funny, but the app sounds spook the cat and the shot is ruined. Don't assume everyone's a perv.....
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yes it reboots. Infinite if you have set on boot.

Xdabbeb is using the stock kernel ATM versus his linaro built kernel, so there is not much you can tweek with it currently.

thanks for your help. i'll try it tonight, the comsuption is freaking me out.

btw, there won't be any data loss during flashing?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
There will be if you wipe data. I would recommend a clean flash but your choice.

[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
okay i'll do backup, the only thing keeps me from wiping is a navi app which is more than 3G...

thx again
[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
just flash xdabbeb 2.00 sucessfully, step by step according to the thread, from 24A stock rom rooted.

1 question:

1. 2 camera apps with the same name in drawer, are they the same? and how to get rid of one?

//2. i saw "unrooted" in system settings, but i do have supersu left in drawer, so still rooted or not?

still rooted, confirmed, but in About Phone, Status, it says "unrooted"

and one suggestion, please add one file management app in your future work, that would be easier for person like me to install apps left in my storage. thx a lot.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
1. One is the stock LG camera app xdabbeb left it in case you wanted it. The other is his modified camera app that he put a Ton of work in that fixes and improves the short comings of the stock camera. If you don't want one or the other use a root Explorer to delete both the apk and odex file and reboot, the file I believe is in system /app.

2. It's cosmetic, it is rooted. I wouldn't worry about it.

3.no file Explorer because there are a ton in the play store. ES file Explorer is very popular and functional. There is no point to include a stock version when any number from the play store are so much better.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
1) you can freeze (or delete altogether) the app you don't want with Titanium Backup or go to settings, application manager, all, find app you don't want, press disable. XCam is Xdabbeb's camera app, the other is lg's.

2) you are rooted; the indicator in about phone is cosmetic.

3) I believe the lg apps zip has lg's file explorer, but it's not going to have root access (you won't be able to navigate to system folders). I'd recommend ES file explorer or Root explorer.

Edit: I need to type faster! Thanks [MENTION=5272154]Mightycaptain[/MENTION]!

ART or dalvik

Could someone enlighten me on the difference. I think I saw some funny behavior on ART, first time using it, just double checking now... since I'm changing back to dalvik just for some testing.

Are there advantages going with ART versus Dalvik.

I think I found an issue...

Open Settings - > Tethering & networks -> Mobile networks -> System select ...

screen starts to flicker and you can only hit the home button to get back out of the menu.

[Verizon LG G2] Gogaldo:
The reason for flicker of screen is that you have not flashed the 25A bootstack which is necessary for V2.0.0.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
So I just switched back to give ART a whirl. Is there a way to put the screenshot in the power menu without using xposed? Sorry for the noob question, been awhile.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
No but hitting power and vol down at the same time will take a screen shot also.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
You can't run Xposed using ART. Just add the quick memo option to the QSlide bar.

My batty drained at a significant rate compared to past usage. So inswitched back to dalvik and it just ran as smooth and crisp as xdebbs past roms on this thread.
[Verizon LG G2] chevycam94:
Im going to assume that v2.0.0 still has the modified tethering? Changelog wasnt clear on it. Going on vacation where I will have no WiFi whatsoever, so I have to use the phones connection.

Your assumption would be correct.
[Verizon LG G2] mbarry55:
I'm guessing 25a didn't have anything hidden in it for voLTE did it? I'm wondering when or how this will get enabled on the g2. Read this morning the g2 and the s5 will be the two launch devices for it.

I think you're referring to XLTE....not VoLTE.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Either way 4g signal for me definitely got better in terms of holding edge signal. I'm staying on 4g in places I never did before. So that was a nice surprise. It was worth flashing the bootstack for me. Supposedly xlte is on in my area now but speed tests are the same for me.
[Verizon LG G2] LTunez:
I've been on 2.0.0 using Dalvik, because I really like the ability to use Xposed, but in the interest of science, am giving ART a whirl.

I've managed to do some tweaks to the LGSystemUI.apk to make up for some of the mods I lost using Xposed, but there are a couple things that I haven't quite figured out yet.

In the status bar, I'd like to hide the "data" (4G/3G/1X) icon while on Wifi, and also hide the status bar system clock on the lockscreen. I did find a thread from last October where someone made a flashable zip to do some of what I'd like, but couldn't figure out where/how to achieve my goal through reverse engineering the mod.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? If this takes us too off topic, please PM me.

So messing around with the camera, which is the better camera and what is the difference between the Camera and the XCam LG?
[Verizon LG G2] ilhe1s:
XDABEBB I was wondering will you be able to add VZW's new HDVoice to your ROM when they roll it out? According to the article below it is just a toggle on the G2 under Mobile Networks.

Once again Thank You for such a wonderful ROM.

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/08/26/verizon-volte-launch-details-hd-voice/
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
If you read the article, this device will be one of the first to use VoLTE...so VZW will get an update out...and if you read this thread, you'll know this is based off of stock. ART was on the latest leaked update so we have it on this ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I believe that's what the 25a update included. Once you sign up for volte/Hd voice through Verizon, then that setting will be active/visible.

Edit: took a while to find... An earlier post from [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]

Actually, the art update was/is a pretty big one as it requires touching every apk/jar. The knock-code and lockscreen updates are much smaller by comparison. I was actually kind of surprised they left the basics for it in there as this makes them the only ones outside of Korea to do so. They certainly didn't intend for us to use it as the dev options menu was missing and there were a number of core system services that didn't work right out of the box, but I'm happy with what they did provide. It was enough for me to take it the rest of the way and make it useable. I also saw a lot more LTE Voice integration as well as a number of bug fixes. In addition there's a new baseband and kernel. It may not be a long changelog, but there's a lot there.<br/>
[Verizon LG G2] bengals1975:
Guilty.

My bad.
[Verizon LG G2] Silvaire:
I would like to upgrade to the latest version and start using the ART runtime but it seems that it clashes with XPosed. I only run it for one reason: to make the soft navbar into the android default (back, home, multitask). Is there any way to accomplish this on the latest version using ART without xposed or am I stuck with LG's dubious implementation? Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
You can use the apk's from here, or other threads under themes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52813597.

If you want them to show on the home screen, you must uncheck the transparent option under display/front touch buttons.

VS980 LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] ilhe1s:
You response did not contribute anything to my question. I was asking how easy is it for XDABBEB to include it in the ROM once released from VZW and if this 2.0 (which I have been running this ROM since the beginning) is a recent leak why didn't it include the toggle?
[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
thx for you both.

1.Camera the thing is, two icons seems to be directed to the same app, and i belive it is XDABBEB's XCAMLG (tried seperately and compared those two icons, and can't tell the difference). so i think maybe it's a minor mistake or something, now i hide one using drawer menu.

2.okay, since it's kept rooted, it works for me.

3.yeah, about the file explorer thing, my problem is i don't usually have a fine connetion (data or wifi), furthermore, i collect some apps apk file in the phone. and the file manager in "LG App Package" doesnot have root access as you mentioned. anyway, it's maybe only a problem for guys like me. and i solved it using adb to install one.

And, there are three more minor problems i found:

1. every time i switch on/off data connection, i got a mobile data confirmation about connetion charges or something, it's pretty annoying and there's no checkbox for "not showing next time". is it any way to make it go away?

2. the clipboard's problem seems to be more "problem". every time i copy something using the long press menu, it goes to clipborad twice. that means there are tow copies of the same in the clipboard.

3. in R.E explorer, (ART), when scrolling apps with differnt icons, it got flicker.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Trust me they are different apps. XCam is better than stock app.

I understand no data connection issues. Go to data/apps copy the apk for what ever file Explorer your using now and save it to your downloads folder or something on the sdcard. Then you'll have the apk for a file Explorer when you need it. That's one work around.

Your data message... Are you roaming?

Clipboard? No issue here. Works like it should. So I can't offer any advice there.

The root Explorer flicker is the root Explorer I think and not the rom. I bet once you get to the bottom of the list scrolling if you scrolled back to the top and down again it wouldn't flicker. Once the file manager caches those images it'll be fine.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
You may wanna look at this about the XCam - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
yeah, no doubt XCam is better, but the two apps have the same UI, same settings, can't tell the difference except the icons (XCam's icon is the rough one, with blue color) so i'm confused if the two icons are directed to the same app.

the problem is, when you flash the rom, you did a full wipe except the internal storage, i put a R.E Exploerer there, but don't have any way to access the internal storage. (and maybe the download archive is a good way to go, but i forgot to do that). anyway, glad i have a notebook to install that by ADB. so that only would be an issue for person who don't have data connection and an available computer.

no, i'm not on roaming and no roaming signal "R" in the signal strenth. it shows up everytime when i switch on/off, anyway to make it go away?

i just tried clipboard twice with different apps, and it happened.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
They don't point to the same app, XCam is a modified version of the stock camera app, it's all under the covers. Read the thread I posted for you. The stock came is left in case you wanna use it, otherwise you can disable it in the App Manager or locate it's .apk and delete it.
[Verizon LG G2] Mightycaptain:
Back to file manager issue. You made a good point about not having one to get to it if it is in downloads. Do you know how to make a flashable zip. You could flash behind the rom. Also. You could unzip the LG apps zip that xdabbeb provided and remove what you don't want rezip and flash it. The stock file manager is there. And you would be able to get to the apk for a root Explorer in your downloads folder. The other issues I'm drawing a Blank. Refer to the others answers about the camera.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Idk. I jaunt l may be blind. But I cannot find the settings for the smart screen timeout thing and I can't find the settings for the volume up and down shortcuts while sleeping
[Verizon LG G2] feyWANG:
first of all, thx for your patience.

i've read that post and i fully understand the improvement of XCam. my bad if i haven't made it clear. it's just because i thought there will be at least some difference in UI, settings, or something, but after a rough comparison, i can't find any, so it gave me the idea maybe there are leading to the same app which is modified.

but honestly, the icon of XCam is not as good looking as the stock one, i could replace it in tray but not in app drawer or screenlocker shortcut under Flex screenlocker. so is it possible to change it with a cooler icon? or the stock's is fine.

and file manager issue, like you figured, there are plenty ways to make it work. but assuming that someone need to flash this rom with all zips ready in internal storage but without a computer or data connection. it could be an issue of some kind. of course, normally we won't have this situation. so i only wanna make a little suggestion.
[Verizon LG G2] freddie813:
The 2 cameras may have the same UI, but the difference is in the performance.

Also, depending on whether you use a different launcher or not, why not download an icon pack with a camera icon you like? I personally like the camera icons in the Moonshine icon pack, that you can download on google play.

[Verizon LG G2] SimsDelt:

[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Xposed for ART most likely will not be released until Android l is released. Even then, it may take the developer a while to work out any bugs and release xposed framework for art. Depending on when l is released, I'd estimate a month, so maybe by the end of the year. From what I've read, ART in kitkat is somewhat different than the ART in the l preview. The developer of xposed was very clear that he was not interested in having two or three versions of xposed framework to support (Dalvik, KitKat ART, and l ART).

Soooo.....has anyone else gotten a bricked phone yet? My phone has had a few hiccups since running the latest ROM, I assume from running ART (no biggie). But when I got home from dinner I pulled my phone out and it is bricked. I have attempted getting it to do anything and nothing. Plugging it in even does nothing.

I wasn't using xposed or any of type of mod except for the smaller NAV buttons. I didnt flash anything lately or have done anything to my phone.

My main question is that if it is this bricked, would VZW know I was running this rom or that I am rooted?

Thanks i am not entirely sure what happened. Took it to vzw to check insurance and the one guy was able to boot it up. I think maybe the screen took a nap or something.

Also the guy said rooting for roms is not needed with launchers and such. I dont think he understands custom roms. Lol.
[Verizon LG G2] mrdunn:
I am so glad you got it to work. when i had the problem, I restored to stock and that worked also.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
"Bricked" is a term that needs to be removed from most peoples vocabulary. You are using it in the right context, where as people talking about being put in fastboot is a brick. "Soft brick, hard brick, half brick" its not a brick unless it is a paperweight /rant.

But to answer your question, I've had this phone since October, and I've heard of maybe two or three people bricking their phone.

If it was in fact bricked, vzw would never know because they don't fix phones. They have a paper they pull out or memorize that has a half dozen troubleshooting techniques. If they don't work, it gets shipped to Lg who actually do fix the phones to use as referbs.

Lg couldn't care less if you root your phone or not, so once it gets to that point it doesn't matter.

Yeah i have never had a device that was ever bricked. Ha and the guy said there is hardware that shows root and i told him they wouldnt know and he said i probably have gotten people fired in the past. I highly doubt that. And he said data needs to be turned on all the time or it will kill your phone. Said there is stuff phones send to the mfg for verification. I highly doubt that as well.

Maybe my issue was a rogue app not working with art and it killed my screen or phone for a bit. Idk.

Just glad it fixed itself and i dont have a expensive and shiny paper weight.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Samsung's Knox is about the best detection they have for a rooted phone. If I'm not mistaken that really does have something in the hardware that flag, but I've never heard of another mfg that has anything like that.

There are some apps that's are sketchy. Vzw account manager has been reported as randomly asking for root permissions, regardless of you have it or not. (if you don't have root you would never see it)

Half the people that work for vzw are full of crap or complete idiots though.

When I got this phone i walked in and told them what I wanted. I pregamed what phone of want. And she said about me getting money for turning in my old xt912, and u told her they wouldn't want it because I flashed a ROM on it, and she acted like I was speaking hieroglyphic to her.
