CyanogenMod 12 for the Volt

For anyone who is interested, Bad_MOFO_33 over at Android Forums has a working beta of CM12 for our lovely little LS740. Phone/SMS capabilities don't seem to be working, nor do the vibrator and the rear camera, but other than that, it's a very smooth and stable ROM and is fun to play around with :)

You have to flash a later version of TWRP for this to work but it is compatible with the stock ROM as well.

http://androidforums.com/threads/cm12-unofficial-beta.905257/
[General Questions and Answers] Jesseferd:
I'm running the CM12 rom right now. Sms is working, phone works great... 3g and lte are both good, both cameras are working with 3rd party apps. It's much better than you gathered, but so many were having issues, I can see why. There are a bunch using it, and also candy rom, as their daily driver. So glad I stuck with this phone!
[General Questions and Answers] Ph0enix_216:
So SMS and phone do work? I spent an hour or two last night trying to get them to work, but I guess I'll just have to try again :P apart from those two issues (and no vibrator), it's a very nice daily driver. RAM consumption is so much better than on stock, too.

Will I be able to move back to stock if I don't like it?

If I do a restore from a backup (of stock) while I have cm installed will it work or would I need to flash it another way or something? What would be the process?
[General Questions and Answers] Ph0enix_216:
As long as you make a full backup of the stock ROM before flashing CM, you should be okay, TWRP will use the restore to put everything back to the way it was. However, any texts or calls you make in CM won't go back to your stock setup, which is why I suggested EasyBackup to get all that. But yeah, a full backup with TWRP will be all you need, you won't need to reflash anything else.

How can I remove system apps in cm12? I tried titanium backup but that didn't work the app either crashes or works fine

Cm12 works great by I can't make calls with hangouts dialer it rings then said call can't go through is this an APN issue?( I didn't flash the APN fix)

BTW rear camera works fine

Yes I did I Even restored apps, but in lollipop the apps are stored in /system/app/(whatever)/whatever.apk so maybe titanium didn't know to do that it's just trying /system/app/whatever.Apk

And fmradio uninstalled but only after reboot other apps just crash

....

Does hangouts dialer depend on APN to call (I didn't flash the fix) it doesn't work for calling

I wanted to try out candy so I made a backup and wiped data and cache and installed it on to of cm12 the same way I installed cm on to of stock, and now I have cm theme app and themes in strings are controlled by cm, is candy a clone of cm??

Also I did the deep sleep fix on cm (which every time the screen shut off it would just turn back on but now that's also happening in candy, is it because the developers of candy built in the deep sleep fix for cm in their ROM or did I do something wrong??

BTW the rear camera in cm12 only worked for pictures but not for videos.

I tried Google cam from play store and ucam and whatsapp and they all didn't work for video.

There is an app called az screen recorded no root (for lollipop) but it's not working is giving some sort of error that it's looking for a file and that I should retry in a few seconds but it Kris on happening, is it related to this video recording issue for the camera apps?

[General Questions and Answers] RawSlugs:
I've noticed that when the phone downloads an update it downloads it to /cache for some odd reason 2 of the same zip one with the name of the rom and another named update.zip inside both zips was a folder called recovery which had the stock updated recovery IMG inside, if I would delete that folder can I flash this zip as if I were flashing a custom rom?

And then flash supersu zip for root (I was running zv3 with the zv4 update zip but now I'm on cm12 so I'm just asking if it would work, can't try....)

Also why are stock ROMs so big they are like almost a GB but cm is like 250mb?

Not really sure why there were 2 zips, assuming that there is some difference just the root folders were the same what is the difference/why is there 2 zips? (Also I don't think they were each a GB which is the total ROM size)

Holy crap!! Literally! The last time I used kingo root it installed so much add on CRAP it was crazy. And that was after using the custom feature and removing the checks from all the add ons they will openly advise you of. I would only recommed kingo if absolutely nothing else is available. You will then need to run a full scan with something to detect and remove malware amd adware. I recommend exterminate it. It will cost you money. $30-50.00, depending on if you can get a discount. So in a nut shell......stay away from kingo, imo.

Kingo Root

I believe the danger is more to your PC using the root program, than KingUser- which gets installed onto the android device. BUT, if kingroot did install anything to the phone, removing KingUser wouldn't remove it. The only way to remove it would be wiping your data partition.

Previously rooted VM LG Volt, update from zv5 to zv6 is repeatedly failing.

I've got a question, and I'm new to xda so let me know if you need any more info (and how to find it!).

Every few days, my Virgin Mobile LG Volt notifies me that I have a system update available (zv6). I've tried several times to install it, and my phone will restart and display the system update screen with the progress bar. However when the bar reaches about 1/3 of the way across, my phone will suddenly restart and boot up into the OS like normal, and when I check the software version I still have zv5. Then a few days later, the notification pops up again and I repeat the process (with the same results).

My phone was rooted the first two times I tried this (I kept stock android, 4.4.2), and I thought that might be causing the problem so I unrooted it. But that didn't change anything, and now I'm not sure what to do. I tried to find answers online, but all I found was another person on Reddit with the same problem (I can't post outside links since I'm a new user, but you can google "LG Volt won't update from v5.7 to v6.1?" and you'll find it).
