[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Using xdabbeb's included kernel on both g2's. One on dalvik and the other on art; both are seeing the same battery life as I've expected. The only change I made was adding the toochboost file to both, but that would theoretically hurt battery life (actual affect to battery is negligible).

[Verizon LG G2] ANTLAY:
What/where is the file your referring to? I've really been slacking on keeping up with phone stuff lately..
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
From the op:

" Turn on CAF touchboost by creating /sdcard/touchboost file. If the file is empty, boost freq is 1036800 Hz. If you want a different one, just put the value inside the text file (no spaces). Valid options are (422400, 652800, 729600, 883200, 960000, 1036800, 1190400, 1267200, 1497600, 1574400, 1728000, 1958400, 2265600)"

Just use a file explorer (I used es) to create the file (not folder) in sdcard folder.

Right now I have TWRP 2.7.9, baseband 24A, phone is rooted and running a AOSP rom (also ran previous stock rooted). I want to switch to xdabebb 2.3 or CloudyG3 and TWRP 2.8.2.0. But its very confusing - will I need to root again, using AutoRec or not?

If I just follow the install steps for xdabebb and also flash the newest TWRP, am I going to lose root? And how does this compare to CloudyG3? I just want a little but more modern looking rom than stock, and I don't think there are any themes for stock.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Sorry if this is ot but it has to so with the bootstack zips xdabebb created. Would flashing the 26a bootstack give me the KitKat modem AND the KitKat boot loader? Because since bump is being used a lot now does that mean if a kernel is bumped I can use it with the 26a bootstack and have the KitKat boot loader instead of the jerky bean one? Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
If you reread to op carefully, there are a few options. The 26a bootstack is intended to be used with the jerky(sorry, had to [emoji4]) bean 12b aboot. The 26a bootstack has the 26a kit kat modem and a thermally governed 2.8.0.1 twrp. There is however at the bottom of the op a recently added bump'd kernel/twrp/26a bootloader. So, it's your choice; Xdadebb provided both options.

One more thing I didn't see in the op while we're talking about this is there a way to get just the boot loader? I don't want the recovery or kernel. Should I just flash it then reflash my current recovery and kernel? Sorry for not going in q&a thread but don't want to try and reexplain. Thanks

im currently on the latest xdabbed and i do like it.

in the 1st post it says

dont i have a 26a aboot if im on the latest xdabbed as of this writing?

im wanting to go back to stock 26a (i have the kdz file) but i cant get into download mode?

do i just go ahead and install "xdabbeb_restore_dl_mode.zip" and i can then do a complete factory install or is 12b incorrect since im on 26a?

thanks

just want to double check before i mess something up.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=5073918]en11gma[/MENTION]

Yep, flash the zip and you'll get dl mode back
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
thanks much.

during the (very short time in which you were replying) i decided to chance it and it was flashing as i came back here to read.

thats great to know its ok to downgrade to aboot 12b so that 26a stock will flash correctly.

on my samsungs i could boot to download mode and look at my aboot version there but i cant seem to figure out how to do it on this vs980.

where can i check if my aboot got upgraded to 26a when i flashed this stock 26a kdz file?

thanks again
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=5073918]en11gma[/MENTION]

Check your baseband to verify its using the 26a radio.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
baseband = 26a but baseband (Modem) is different then aboot right?

i know they are probably the same or phone would have problems i bet but how do we actually check aboot?

one more question.

now that i am stock 26a and phone says "unrooted" in status how and where do i get twrp 2.8.1.0 that has the governor fix included and better yet is there some instructions on how to flash that recovery?

after i get the recovery installed ill most likely just install the latest SuperSU if thats ok too.

everything i keep reading says we cant root from 26a but i not sure if thats old new or new news.

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=258766]enigma[/MENTION]

Going to the 26a aboot is currently the only way to obtain the 26a radio, modem, baseband, whatever you want to call it.

That is unless autoprime updated his flashible radios with the 26a radio, that's why its a good indication that you're on the 26a bootstack.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to check your bootstack, less [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] can chime in.

TLDR: if you flash the stock ROM and end up with the 26a radio, you're on the 26a bootstack/aboot

Edit: you can get the latest twrp, (a riced one I might add) in the themes and apps section. There's a thread for the holofied twrp)
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
so there isnt any problems rooting 26a and also installing a custom recovery like twrp that has the governor fix included...hope someone has a link.....

you can get the multi-colored lines on your screen if it dont have the governor to my understanding as it pegs out the cpu or gpu....im thinking gpu for some reason.

this isnt the only device with that problem.

i also had to have a custom twrp for my note 3 (also it was a governor thing)

just want to make sure i dont mess anything up while putting root and cust recovery on.

so i want need to downgrade the bootstack to do either one of those or is that just standard procedure to downgrade bootstack first?

or do we have to flash a stock 24a and then downgrade the bootstack even more.

on the cm111 26a thread it says we have to downgrade to 24a then 12b bootstack then......well i forget but i know there is quite a few hoops to jump through but that thread was started before 26a was out so not sure if the op updated the instructions or if they are old instructions.

i know its getting OT in this thread but there is quite a bit of info on the forums about recoveries and rooting but not to much if you are already on 26a

thanks again

Whenever I set the phone on my leg, my legfat blocks the GPS signals. Pick it back up and the GPS immediately refixes itself.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
It helps to update the agps occasionally. Gps test and/or Gps status apps both work well. I leave location services on (usually high accuracy) and have gps status app set to automatically update agps. A reboot seems to help after updating, but that may be placebo. Before updating agps, I couldn't get more than three satellites, and after I was getting 10-15 with <5s lock.

[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
as i mentioned before

i have two vs980's

both are on stock 26a and neither are currently rooted or anything

one was rooted and had cust recovery but i since put 26a on it and it says its unrooted in status

both phones have no sim and i have no verizon service at the moment. (just bought the phones and not sure what i gonna do with them as far as a carrier)

could you or someone do a test

put phone in airplane mode (you could take sim out to reproduce exact test)

no wifi or any radios

keep location reporting to on and on for google reporting and set to "Device Only"

power off phone

start phone up and open gps status or the same gps app your using now

here is what mine looks like with everything on and a used verizon sim inserted. not mine and not active

wifi is connected

location = high accuracy

location sharing = yes

when switching from google maps to gps status i will get a green signal bar in gps status and then it resets really quick and i loose it.

i have seen green signal bars in gps status but only when switching from google maps. i think im going to have to leave this thread and find another gps thread or make one but i still want to install cust recovery and root.

i think there is something messing with both my phones gps.

they both show exact same thing.

im in iowa in the country and have pretty clear views.

when i go outside its still the same low signal strength yellow bars.

so you cant get a lock even with 7 sats when data = off?

i think this has to do with google location stuff.

gps status app is waiting for info from the data connection.

i think*
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
GPS on the g2 hasn't been the best. There are more than a few threads dedicated to the issue. Some have even had the phones replaced. I've noticed that my other g2 consistently has a better gps signal than the g2 I use. I'm guessing slight variations in hardware or build. I've had the best luck keeping location services on all of the time (battery hit is negligible) and using the two apps previously mentioned to update agps occasionally. Fellow Iowegian btw ☺.

I have the G2, wife has the m8. I like them both for different reasons, but while I do like this screen and build, nothing compares to the build on that HTC. I love me that aluminum. Sound quality beats the G2 as well. As in no contest, even with the sound chip we have. (And for external speakers there is no phone that can touch it) Running Scott's clean Rom and love it.

All that, but I'm not complaining about our phone, I've been pleased. Especially with this Rom... just thought I'd say that I wish the designers from both camps would mash these together to give the best of both. Lol.

i got a few more questions about his rom :)

i flashed the stock 26a kdz file and rooted with stumproot 1.2 and i installed twrp 2.8.2.0 thermally throttled.

1st Question

isnt there a version of this rom that we can just install from twrp 2.8.2.0 that dont flash a custom recovery and modem and anything else that dont really need flashing since alot of just flash the stock 26a and then root and install cust recovery?

2nd question

this rom does not recognize other carrier sims besides verizon right?

i read somewhere that people were flashing a tmobile rom on this vs980 phone and then using a flex patch that came from the flex rom that enabled other sims to work.

can that same flex patch from the flex rom work with this rom in this thread?

thanks
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
You only need to flash the rom zip at this point, you'll be good to go, unless you want anything extra from the google or LG zips. But they aren't necessary, you'll have play store and search and, I think, gmail with the rom zip alone.

The second question I have no clue.
[Verizon LG G2] macman159:

[Verizon LG G2] macman159:
I am not sure about other US carriers like AT&T and Tmobile, all I know is that this rom worked for vodafone (another carrier beside verizon) when I went overseas. I don't know if it will work for the carriers I said before, but I don't see any reason why they might not run. If you have a friend on att or tmo then ask for their sim card (if they have a micro-sim) and see if it works, or get the free iPhone for 7 days from tmo and see if the sim works on your phone (I don't know what size is on the iPhone).

im having a problem

im trying to get download mode to work so i can flash 26a kdz but download mode is only 1/2 working.

i had xdabbeb 2.3 working fine but i installed the 26a bootstack to get download mode to work but it didnt

so i tried to install the 26a laf file from 1st post also

that got me dload mode but the little dots arent moving and lg flash tool dont see the phone.

iwindows 8.1 device manager dont see it either.

i think i can get xdabbeb working again but why cant i flash the stock 26a kdz file to flash

i must have something wrong on the phone.

when i try to restore my stock 26a (that was rooted with stumproot 1.2 and twrp 2.8.2.0 it just stays at the lg logo screen

no errors

ok i guess im gonna wipe all again

install xdabbeb 2.3 and not anything else.

no 26a bootstack

no 26a laf

ill report when that finishes

yep xdabbeb booted back up and i havent done anything

what do i need to do to get download mode working from this point because i just want to start with a fresh install from 26a stock rom

something not right cause when i power phone off and then hold vol+ and plug in usb it goes to download mode (still dont work) but its download mode.

its supposed to be fastboot at this point isnt it?

Please try to at least search for this. I have asked my fair share of dumb questions, but the one you have asked has been answered millions of times. Did you flash a kernel? If so that's why.

[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
please tell me its not that simple :)

i swear i thought i was doing that when i installed the 26a bootstack and if not when i installed the 26a laf.

it gets worse.

the other vs980 i have has xdabbeb 2.3.0 with no problems and download mode works great.

i did it on one phone but totally forgot on this phone.

must have missed that file when i was doing file transfers and im pretty organized.

made a folder on my desktop with all the correct files but i think i forgot to put the restore download mode into it in between flashing xdabbeb on 1st phone and xdabbeb on 2nd phone.

doing a fresh install of xdabbeb right now

thanks

hope this works

i dont think that would stop my nandroid from restoring correctly though would it?

i just flashed the resrtore download mode and yep that fixed it.

i swear i thought i had a bad brew when flipping from the 2 different roms and trying different laf and bootstacks.

ok gonna try and restore that stock rooted 26a nandroid after i flash the twrp 2.8.2.0 that i made the nandroid with since xdabbeb puts 2.8.0.1 twrp i think.

hope it restores good

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

yes my nandroid is not restoring.

i do have something wrong.

anyone help as it was a perfect backup.

all updates and settings adjusted with a nicely dont stumproot and twrp 2.8.2.0 and working perfect.

you know what?

when i made the nandroid i was in nv_only mode and the phone is now in ruim_only while trying to restore.

think that do anything?

wiping the stuff puts phone into like a factory reset where it should swtch to ruim_only too though shouldnt it?

just decided to flash to stock 26a

that recovery download mode you reminded me of was great.

thanks.

at least im getting somewhere now as i just flashed to stock 26a.

i think i probably should have flashed to 24a as i think i got some roms to work with it

Is there an existing skin or addon that would safely "theme" the UI (specifically to change LG's white menus to something more battery and eyeball friendly), or does the fact that this is stock based mean that I must manually learn how to modify SystemUI?

I'm fine with having to do it manually, but I'd just like to get confirmation, having found information that essentially confirms but doesn't specifically state that answer. I already use G2Tweaksbox and G2 Xposed, and I know that the what I want is beyond those apks.
