OMG you guys figured that out! Amazing. I was wondering about the carrier part. I went from release two then clean flashed 8-11. Never tried any in between.

And [MENTION=3305208]dwielunski[/MENTION] seriously, tons of thanks for figuring out the update FCs. I tried renaming and deleting all kinds of apks and lines in some update xml's and whatnot. The fact that you figured that out and got them to stop is great. Thanks again to [MENTION=3305208]dwielunski[/MENTION] [MENTION=5124706]ThatKawaiiGuy[/MENTION] [MENTION=5095490]Kevinjoa[/MENTION].

Has anyone else tried this?

Seems like it would help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I am very pleased to be rid of the update device FC! Also this may be my first actual meaningful contribution on xda so there's a milestone.

I saw the note about the NFC service. I don't use Titanium, but I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Disable Service and used that to disable "Nfc service". I assume it's the same thing? (Not entirely clear on what the issue is with NFC.)

For 3G data, I think have a more sensible fix that doesn't require flashing multiple versions of the ROM. If you are getting LTE but not 3G, you probably need to add "default" to the the plain vanilla Sprint APN. I will post a guide on how to do this with screenshots in a minute.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
I agree since when booting release 3 for the first time there is no mobile network because it tries for global. I have no type of service at boot and have a feeling that if I could get through setup it would say I have no prl, min, meid information listed. I saw this problem with release 2 but was able to get through setup using wifi. I cannot do that at work. Also, once past that part I still could get nothing for data. I seriously think it is due to having EvDo and not eHRPD in this area.

On the note of NFC, I am thinking it can be removed or renamed much like the oma file. I found nfcnci.apk and renamed it to bak, also there is an nfc_nci.mako.so file here \system\lib\hw so maybe that can be removed or edited even. I don't know how NFC polls things but maybe those files are useful. I don't think using an extra app is useful all the time.

I tried this again while at work but still had nothing at boot on rel3 it sets the network to sim mode or something.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
All right. You only need one APN. (Others are for ota updates which we don't want, and separating eHRPD & LTE appears to create problems with handoff.) See screenshots for how it should look.

Now, to edit the APNs:

1) am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.ApnSettings from terminal emulator; or

2) download an app from the play store like quickshortcutmaker or various APN editor apps (can't tell you which will work though).

We could make a flashable zip out of it, or build into the ROM. Until then, for those trying to activate the ROM over 3G, maybe use a tool like aromafm to edit/swap out the APN XML file after flashing but before first boot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Do you have or can you share the apn config file after you edited it? Keep in mind that if you give only one apn and it is for sprint then this is no longer a gee rom, that's why it shouldn't be included in the rom. Just my 2 cents. but if you can share the xml then us here in the sprint section can replace it before flashing.

Also, whatever you do, do not rename the nfcnci.apk because you will no longer have access to settings for the phone.

EDIT: However, your idea works. I am using 3G, I sent a pic and went on chrome with it. I have EvDo rev a not eHRPD and can confirm it works. You're on a roll today.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Yes, it would be bad if we were deleting all the other carriers' APNs. But editing the APNs within system settings as I described does not alter or delete anything from the APN xml files in /system/etc/, it sits on top of those somehow. And also, though I didn't show this, the only APNs I am proposing to remove are unnecessary Sprint APNs (not other carriers). I am experimenting with editing apns-conf.xml in order to try to get it up and running from first boot and I will post the edited xml if it works.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
I see. I thought you meant to place only one APN in the ROM file. But what I did was use APN manager and add the information you provided as a new APN. Thanks for the settings info BTW.

Does anybody know if "start thermald" in any spot of android terminal emulator is OK or do I need special permissions or to be in a certain folder. I typed that and pressed enter but nothing happened visually.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
No luck on incorporating the APN into the XML file. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Try again tomorrow.

On the bright side, I realized you can fire up the APN settings menu over ADB, so you can complete the setup without WiFi or LTE...if you have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
Is the included kernel the only one we can use? I can't live without s2w2 (my power button is almost unresponsive at this point....)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] manups4e:
sorry for the question...how did you get working data and wifi? we are porting the L for htc one (here http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/development/port-android-l-developer-preview-htc-one-t2812816) but even if the libril-qc-qmi-1.so is working we have unknown baseband and so no sim reading...any help? ^^
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Has anyone been able to set a text alert other than the default hangouts alert? I tried and when it is anything other than default I don't get anything. I tried a bunch. I even tried another sms app and tried disabling and enabling notifications but I still get no alert.

Here is what I tried:

1) changing default = no notification sound

2) using different SMS app, no changes to settings of hangouts = no notification sound

3) disabling notifications in hangouts and still using other app = no notification sound
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I have tested with a lot of clean flashes and replacing apns-conf.xml before first boot and it is totally inconsistent as to whether I get data or not. Yesterday I got LTE on a clean flash of release11 with no changes, today I do not. So I am sticking with the manual edit of the APNs in system settings after boot as the recommendation to get data working.

Now, onto MMS. Anyone having success with MMS send or receive? If you do please post your APNs. Again, you can view these by running in terminal "am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.ApnSettings". There are also APNs viewable within Hangouts that might help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
I have sent a few using whatever is defaulted in hangouts and by adding the information you provided to my system and setting as default (active). But I used an apn manager to do it.

I haven't had anyone send ME an mms yet so I'm not sure. I will ask someone to and report back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
This device is literally the same as N4, so not as much work is needed to port things from them
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
I'm not sure, I'd run L to test but it screws up my phone
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
I too can send MMS but cannot download when I receive it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
Here's a screenshot of my APN through hangouts.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Mine sits and then eventually fails. It took quite some time to even receive the message that there is one to download but once it got to my phone and I chose download it wouldn't.

I chalked it up to having bad reception, but now that I am not the only one it could be setting/rom related.

On another note, on release 3 I have a baseband, but when I flash 11 over it the baseband goes away and I get tons of FCs and the appearance of random UI restarts. It flashes and doesn't want to load the notification bar.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
Just a few init file changes? And maybe fstab?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Yes, changes in uevented and don't even necessarily in init.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
U shouldn't have to do anything in ueventd if you are using the new init, the entire ramdisk was made from aosp and those changes where made for the direction that google is going with L. Or do you mean the device specific version?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Hmm I think I need this change in there: https://github.com/cm-kang/Android-L-Gee/commit/fcb3392c5bb68c465d280f91492c57c6dd31f694
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
It is better to have the changes there, yes but it would work without them with the permissive sepolicy I think
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Maybe you are right, but I will just take them every time with me, when we haven't had selinux working it wouldn't work without it .
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
Hmmmm. I didn't know that and never had a problem with them before
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jhienk:
Is this thread dead?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Obvious it is not :P
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jhienk:
Glad to see that! Just noticed that there hasn't been much action lately. Are you still working on it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nchc:
Dude if you keep on questioning devs if a project is dead, it soon will be. Surely you could see from the posts just prior to yours that he's still working on it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jhienk:
Dude just asking a question. If asking one question is gonna stop all development than i guess XDA will be shutting down today." There are no stupid questions , just stupid answers."
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jooprzol:
Jhienk, consider this... You may not be the only person asking that question. So an innocent question x 100 will become quite irritating, and make it appear to the developer that there is no thanks amongst the group he is developing for, so why even continue to provide this for them? If he still decides to continue developing, it may be that he decides to take it private and not distribute with anybody. The best course of action in this case would be to for us to think of the developer before ourselves (Do I really understand the level of effort the Dev is putting into this? Is this question urgently important as well as a question that no one else is asking, be it in this forum or elsewhere?) There may be no stupid questions, but innocent questions all day long will drive anyone mad, just ask any parent of a 3 year old.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jhienk:
Agreed. The only reason for asking was that there had been no activity in this thread for a week. I understand the time and effort that goes into this, and that is definitely appreciated. I'm not badgering anyone. It just really erks me when a question is asked and people jump down other members throats. This is a community and people should be treated as such. Thank You all for everything that has been been accomplished with this Rom. Everyones input is what makes XDA work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Guess we need to try this again with the new Hangouts stuff that came out today...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
You don't need L for it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I know. I mean that we never got mms over hangouts working on L, now there is a new version and it might work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
It doesn't

It is a issue with WiFi, turn it off and you can send and receive MMS
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Oh that's good. My recollection was that mms worked for for messaging apps like textra or hello sms, but never worked in hangouts. Regardless, I'm probably not going to flash back just to try that out, unless there is anything new in the rom itself
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
Textra turns WiFi off to send the MMS, that is why it works. Not sure about hellosms though but probably the same
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
It's great to learn why these things work they way they do, thank you for explaining.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
Well that I will explain a bit more so you can fully understand the MMS issue.

Previously on android, you could only have one data connection at a time, the default function would be that MMS would automatically disconnect WiFi and reconnect to a cellular network to send a MMS.

Users on T-Mobile with wifi calling were afflicted by the same exact bug as we are facing on L so that is why apps like textra have a disconnect WiFi feature.

Now in L, there comes a overhauled connection manager that allows it to maintain multiple connections at a time like WiFi and cellular which is a great improvement.

The problem is though, that is functionality is not working correctly so it is why we are seeing things like the WiFi MMS bug, location battery saver mode not working and other such network bugs.

It will be working correctly come official L but I have been trying to correct this unworking feature on the n4 and n5 with no avail and it seems it will be one of the persistent bug like multiple Bluetooth connections not working properly
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
That's great, I had noticed that when I drove away from my house it would still appear as connected to the home WiFi until I manually flipped it off. The simultaneous connection feature will be very helpful for cases like walking the dog around the neighborhood where I repeatedly cross in and out of WiFi range. Similarly could allow me to use the Time Warner Cable WiFi hot spots if they won't break the cellular connection each time they try to connect.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
It's possible to make a compatible Android L kernel with faust93 camera patch?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MaRkuS_538:
How can I flash this? Can I flash it just seems over KK stock? Or I must be on CM, Paranoid,.....?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
No, you need to wipe fresh, wipe data and system
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
Can you ma ke a Android L gee kernel with a camera patch. This rom is very fast and stable. A perfect camera will be perfect.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
I can't remember who recommended textra in the previous pages but it's a good temporary solution to the mms WiFi issue. The only other step that I had to make was to manually input APN settings in the app. I'm on AT&T.

The rest of the ROM is working pretty well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shadow2by4:
e970 ext sd

Any other AT&T E970 users not able to use a micro SD or am I doing something very wrong? Everything else, NFC being the obvious exclusion, works great.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
Download link don't work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Will fix tomorrow and work on an update soon. :)

Waiting for the next update... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
Is there a way to disable NFC completely? I've tried titanium backup that someone mentioned earlier but NFC service is still draining battery
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
What type of update are you working?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Minor update (new base from nexus 5 and 4), I am trying to fix some issues like NFC but no luck as of yet.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
Sorry for question, can you ma ke a new L kernel with stock camera driver?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Not possible
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
It's OK. Thanks for your great work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] andrea68:
I've problem to Connect with my car's bluetooth.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Common known problem also on N4, we haven't found a fix yet. :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamesadalpiaz:
Take your time with the update, been rocking release 12 for over a month without any issues (besides no NFC).

Just have to figure out why TWRP keeps giving me errors when I try to format the system partition.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Did you have to add APN or anything or everything works pretty well?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
If you're on Sprint, add the APN as I described in the 6th post. The main quirk that affected my daily usage was with WiFi, you have to manually toggle it on and off, i.e. it does not hand off to mobile data properly. Otherwise it is stable, though I would advise that it is not yet performing at the same level of the best KitKat roms, so I do not use it as my daily driver. But you could if you wanted to.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamesadalpiaz:
Only problem I have is I can't send/receive MMS messages.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I think I used hello SMS and it worked fine. Hangouts should work if you turn off WiFi
[Sprint LG Optimus G] supaflyx3:
Any kernels that work on L for geeb? Would love to try out L.

Not wasted maybe. I need help fixing nfc, tried on older version without luck. My git project is here: https://github.com/team-og/Gee-L-Rebase
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jholtom:
I'll look at it, on sprint I was having trouble with 3g/4g coming from the upgrade. Doing a full wipe now to see how it goes.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Sorin90:
Contains camera patch?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sam_0829:
Downloading your port at this moment, i'll look about NFC .
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jholtom:
Mobile data is messed up on release 14, at least for me

Baseband is now nonexistent, am on sprint

Can anyone else corrobate?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Will make another (nightly), merging all mako changes

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

In few minutes available under 14.1 release.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
While it says baseband unknown in settings about phone, that is just quoting a line from the build.prop. Calls work so clearly there is a working radio (it is highly unusual for a Rom to overwrite the baseband). We probably just have to make some edits to build.prop and APNs like we always do. Look at posts earlier in the thread when we first got this working on Sprint, that's what everyone will be trying.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Yea, international is working fine, baseband has some problem to display, fetch-swv script doesn't work as it should.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jholtom:
I attempted the changes to get it going on Sprint again, no dice with APN's.

It connects fine according to Settings, however the errors it throws all have to do with DNS. The APN's are identical to the working data on release 12.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
Is root possible?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Yes, you have to flash latest super su.

BTW: Nightly 14.2 is up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] htomasz:
For me e975 mobile data not work range bars with !
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Maybe 14.2 build has fixed it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
The camera app is missing from the app drawer but it works from the lockscreen. Can someone confirm this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] htomasz:
:( Still the same. Trying adjust APN but no luck
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kevinjoa:
Issue is also there for some mako users. Let's see when the fix arrives. :D

Yes it appears it is deeper than a simple build.prop tweak. Above my pay grade! I'll fiddle around with it a bit but more likely the real developers will figure it out sooner. Usually once they have everything working on Nexus 4 or E975 we can get it running on Sprint without too much difficulty
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
I can confirm mobile data isn't working on AT&T. It's strange though because it worked on build 12. Has anyone got mobile data working on the latest build?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sykopompos:
Ip6 works but ip4 is being screwy on mako. Still trying to trace it down

Sent from my LG-D851
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Build 14 is totally new, based off the updated developer preview images posted by Google on Friday, so it's not surprising that things like data need to be straightened out all over again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] samuel3mn2:
Is the SD and camera working on e970 on 14.2?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aznracer62:
I haven't tested sd but the camera does work only if you flash the kernel from the e970 General forum.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] samuel3mn2:
ok is just missing a fix for SD card
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Just to be clear, there's data problems on the newest build for Sprint as well, right?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Correct. On mako the word is it works on ipv6 but not ipv4. I do not know if Sprint does ipv6 in certain areas, it might work, but at least where I am mobile data does not work for me

Hey anyone knows why my Google play store, Google search, play services, and almost everything gapps force closes every second or two?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
There's a script floating around the nexus 4 thread that gets mobile data, but when wifi is turned on, mobile data goes away again... I think the fix is getting near.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Annnd data is fixed in mako!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
For me, that happened when I first connected with my Google account and restored apps from backup. Eventually had to force a reboot, after which everything worked fine. Restored all the apps and everything, no more FC's.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] matthiastan5:
Hmm that didn't seem to work for me?I tried fixing permissions too but it still didn't work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
I see there's 14.3 build from today. Will test it and report back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jholtom:
I merged in the final updates from the mako project built, and installed, data workaround fixes things with a script. Not technically a perfect fix but it works well. Only problems are sensors (I think) and NFC.

I'll upload it in a few.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
I'm still not getting data in latest 14.3 from today. Should it be fixed?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jholtom:
Its fixed in the build that I'm uploading right now.

I do not believe so since there are some tweaks for the L kernel.
