Word of caution using folder mount like apps....

When you move the apps and data on the first FAT partition,and connect your phone to pc as a mass storage device,android will mount the first fat partition and your apps can not be accessed.

Has anybody tried switching ART on this phone?i tried last night and had to factory reset as phone became unresponsive because of low internal space..i think i should have tried back after factory reset but just ended up restoring apps from the backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMedina559:
I tried it after a factory rest after I rooted. everything was pretty good. I could tell a difference. but I switched it back to dalvik since I read art cant be enabled if you're going to be using xposed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
ART eats up more space than our little 1gb and change of user storage can handle. ART precompiles all your apks, while dalvik does just-in-time compilation and caches only frequently used compiled objects.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshsr:
so what happens if I do the factory reset, change to ART and then one by one, restore my apps and move to the external storage by using say Link2SD? will the app be pre-compiled and moved? or ART takes into consideration the apps that are only available when you change from delvik?

The other guy doesnt give clear instructions to noobs to flashing lg as i was. So i broke my D415 locked bootloader tried other kdz flash guides and it didnt work. maybe cause the kdz was greater than 1gb or lg changed some flashing policies, so i search in g2 forum as its similar to my phone and followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625044 and bam my phone was fixed.

You really don't need to follow offline flashing method if you want to go stock,just download latest lg firmware update tool and connect your phone in download mode as i mentioned in post 400 and the tool would detect your phone model etc ,download the appropriate firmware and flash it.

LG Mobile Tool upgrading error

I tried tried again with the upgrade and it stopped again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshsr:
Yes,when you'r phone is in download mode and connected to pc, you should not get any driver related errors.

If you have another pc, i recommend using that and Install the drivers and then lg support tool. If you dont have another pc, uninstall all the lg specific stuff and start from scratch.

Most likely the things you installed earlier for offline kdz flash is causing this driver error.

EDIT: If you are still getting error with the LG Support tool, try flashing the TOT file as follows:

1)install LG Flash tool from post 6

2)download the LGMS323_20140328_LGFLASHv160.dll and LGMS323AT-02-V10b-310-160-APR-07-2014.tot files from

http://oudhitsquad.com/android/?dir=LGE/Firmware/MS323

and paste put the files in C:\LG\LGFlashTool folder(folder is created when you follow step 1)

3)put your phone in download mode and then open LG Flash tool. you will be asked to select the .dll and .tot files, select the files you downloaded in step 2

and click OK

4)on the main screen of LG flash tool, click on => button and wait, you should see captions changed to "Ready"

5)now unplug your phone and plug back and the TOT file will start flashing.once the flashing process is complete, you will see factory reset status=3 on the screen. disconnect your phone, take the battery out and start the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricki13th:
I will start from stratch

Ok I don't own another PC but I guess I have to delete all other tools such as kdz and lg flash tool. Then uninstall all the phone related drivers in the device driver manager in windows as well as the lg mobile driver. Do you think that the file I downloaded in lg mobile support tool will still be there? cause it took about 3 hours to download thanks to my slow internet speeds. That would save time so I can go straight to just the upgrading process. Thank you for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshsr:
nope, the tool downloads the file in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX folder(or one of the sub folders here) and it deletes the file when flashing is done, or there are errors in flashing. usually when people want to flash KDZ file with another methods, as soon as the kdz is downloaded, they disconnect the USB and that way, the kdz will stay in above folder. but there is no way to flash the kdz from LG support tool, as every time it tries to download the file.

if the LG support tool doesnt work, try flashing the TOT file, I have explained the same above in post 493

EDIT:let me take that back, just realized your internet speed is very slow. try the TOT flashing method first...

My Dell laptop could be at fault.

My model number is the LG MS323 optimus L70 from Metro pcs. I think its also my laptop. When I enter device manager and check on the drivers I found that when I click on the LGE Modem driver the window freezes and force close. I also switch the usb port that I use to another and still nothing. Is there a way to fix the drivers not work when I connect my phone to the PC (which is a Dell Inspiron Notebook. My pc does have a history of not install certain drivers correctly. I also had usb debugging off before my device bricked could that affect it in anyway. I do have another computer but its older and I haven't used it in a while but it runs windows vista is there a way to transfer files to that computer and see if it can work. Otherwise I would just have to use my old phone till I have enough money to buy a F6. Thank you for all your help and have a good 4th of July.
