Buddy , shouldn't External Path should be "storage/sdcard1" instead of "storage/external_SD"?

m gonna implement this in g3 port to see if this can fix external sd & mtp or not , so please tell me the changes you made in ramdisk :)

Delighted to have MTP support, thanks for all the hosting and help!

As long as the paths all match up between the boot.img and framework-res.apk I think you should be fine, but I will agree that in the OTA update pushed by Artur (author of the original mod), he has it set as sdcard1 instead external_SD which is working fine for me currently. I have not tried [MENTION=3814993]RohanAJoshi[/MENTION] 's 5.2.1 flashable E970 patch he posted. I'll give it a try and see if there are any problems switching to external_SD. Correct me if I'm wrong Rohan but your patch is meant to be applied after you flash the 5.2.1 OTA update in order for it to play nice on our E970 phones?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sjk971005:
Works great

This is better than the 5.0 Patch that we had. I flashed this over the previous version and now stock apps recognise the external sd. Music app shows songs and camera app shows option to save to sd which previously wasn't there :good: :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
[MENTION=5468289]CrustyCrack[/MENTION] : as far as know, stock lg apps like gallery, music etc. reads only from external_sd path..

.

for fix, here is what i did :

took kernel from final fix (LGviet link).

mixed up all permission files from various sd fixes..

took framework-res.apk from latest artmod and modified with storage xml from final fix file..

so here we got proper artmod framework-res.apk with sd support..

.

for your port, took framework from your rom and just replace storage.xml file..

this will do trick..

.

I am wondering which kernel is this we are using for fix ?

stock LG 4.1 (20j) kernel or other modified kernel ?

also is there possible to port official lv 4.4 kernel of e975 ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sam_0829:
Yeah , will give it a go ...

& we are using Stock KK kernel of E975 in all KK Rom for e970. Paulicat & some other guy modified E975 kernel for E970

.Go to stock camera app & check resolution , it'll say 13 MP. that proves we are using E975 kernel ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Can I get some help? No matter how I flash the combination of rom+patch, I get a systemui FC.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gysper:
What recovery are you using?

I would recommend Philz: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2693628
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I was using TWRP. I'll try Philz.

Nope. Still the same issue.

I've tried: wiping, flashing all at once, wiping. Combinations of wiping. Flashing rom, rebooting, flashing patch. Nothing works. On TWRP, CWM, and Philz.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sam_0829:
Post a logcat of crash .. we might get a clue from it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
SystemUI fc prevents me from using adb since I can't get the popup to verify my USB connection.

Artmod flashes fine, it is the patch causing the issue. Gonna see if I can try some edits.

EDIT: It's something in framework-res.apk causing the issue. Gonna make the edits myself and see if it works.

I GOT IT!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO

If anyone else has trouble, I will mirror the framework-res.apk for them to add into the patch.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gysper:
Good to hear :)

I just tried this ROM and I didn't run into any problems you did >.<

Philz, full wipe, ROM, then patch.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
I got the system ui force close but a re flash corrected it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I was able to recreate it several times, and you're right, a reflash works. For some reason the script from the zip is the issue when it flashes framework-res.apk
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
That makes sense.. Hmmm I will have to take a look at the script and se if I can figure out what is going on there.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hbawlz:
...:rolleyes::confused:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] phrozenwire:
Is it necessary to go through all the steps if we want to install 5.2.1 ?

The 4.1 ArtMod file size is same as the 5.2.1. Can we not directly flash 5.2.1 and then the SD fixes ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gysper:
Yes just download and flash the last 3 files, the first list of steps is just for version 4.1-4.2 same setup as before.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
So I found out the issue. Removing, or having no SD card causes the SystemUI FC's.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
I can confirm that this happens to me on pretty much every version of ARTMOD. To be honest, I'm very new to android as a whole so call me out on anything I say here as false, but I presume there is a log (Is logcat what I'm talking about?) that will display a detailed error every time systemUI would force close. If you can adb pull the log onto your PC and give it a read I'm sure it will point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, I have very little internet access ATM as I moved house this week and just settling in. My local ISP is lazy in setting up and enabling DSL for my new house, so Optimus G WiFi tethering to the rescue! :silly:

Here are two things that spring to my mind for the issue:

Is it a permission issue? When you flash a file, the flashable zip's update script doesn't set the right permissions for the overwritten file and therefore when you boot; systemUI is denied access to it, and will constantly poll it in some sort of loop (hence the constant force closes).

Presumably because it is stock KK 4.4 for E975 which wouldn't normally have the mount points and paths in place for the SD card; I'm going to assume it wouldn't have to worry about a "safe removal" implementation for SD cards, and maybe it is case of simply adding a line or two into the init/event.rc files declaring how to "handle" a SD card removal event/exception.

I'll look into it as much as I can, but my internet access is limited and Google is my mentor! :laugh:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
Can we use the OTA update app, flash the geehrc update then the e970 patch, or do we have to download the full 5.2.2 file? I'm currently on 5.2.1.

Sent from my AT&T LG Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
OTA then Patch works mostly..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I can pull a logcat, but when systemUI starts fc'ing I can't access the popup to approve ADB (new as of KK). I guess I can reproduce it multiple times and see if the ADB will just stick while it FC's.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sjk971005:
Patch

Hi, I am currently using this ROM on an e970 model.

This is not 100% related to the rom, but since it is built for the e975 and we flash the patch to make it work, does it mean we can flash solid kernel on our phone if we flash the patch afterwards?

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
I believe the patch flashes a compatible kernel. In that case, no.

Sent from my AT&T LG Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
Yep, the E970 patch essentially flashes a kernel that Paulicat ported from the stock kitkat E975 ROM for his/her similar E970 "stock" ROM if I remember. Flashing any E975 kernel over the patch will overwrite the adapted E970 kernel and probably break your ROM at boot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sjk971005:
Oh, okay. Thanks for your help :)

I was hoping we could because our device doesn't have a customisable kernel for stock roms
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Luisaguilera13:
Good evenings to everybody, i've the OG e977 with this Rom, all perfect execs one thing, I don't making tap in the android version, the process finish, please artur try to correct this bug, the community appreciate your help, congratulations for the work with this awesome Rom, many people will donate you, I'm sure.

Does any one have volume issues. I am having very low volume on the handset. I have to try real hard to listen to the person talking. I was on CM previously and had applied to Volume mod by changing the values in mixer_paths.xml file. Same is the issue with the Mic. Can someone help
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
I did. I was able to increase external speaker volume using trickster. It didn't affect the earpiece volume.

Sent from my AT&T LG Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] phrozenwire:
Is there a way we can tweak the MIC quality and also the speaker? Can we flash a different kernel on this rom? Will it work.. I m thinking of going back to CM.. Else this rom is awesome.. Just need some help in audio..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
Viper4Android can sort out your speaker woes, it involves installing an app and installing a sound driver in the app. Normally tricksterMOD would have support modifying the mic and the rest if I remember, but without access to the low-level kernel it can't do much.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] sacomais:
i haven't used the camera since the day i flashed v5.3 until this day and i notice that i can't switch from front cam to back cam. it only switches resolutions (1mp to 8mp supposedly). anyone else having this problem?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lpranal:
Don't have any camera issues here - although I haven't tried flashing the SD Fix yet. I can see my external SD in file managers etc., but gallery / music doesn't see the card and I don't have the option to save to external card from the camera.

On another note - this is by far the best rom for this phone I've tried. Speed and battery life of stock 4.4, cool features / aesthetic of the g3 rom. best of both worlds!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I just decided to try this ROM tonight. I tried the 5.22 build and got systemui FCs with the patch. fought through them and downloaded the 5.3 update. Can run 5.3 with no patches, and don't get systemui FCs, but have no external SD, and no back camera. Once I apply any of the patches to fix the SD card, I am back to systemui FCs again, and don't seem to have an SD card either.

Edit: OK, with 5.3 plus the 5.0 and 5.21 patches installed, I'm working OK with an 8GB SD card formatted Fat32. No systemui FCs, and both cameras work. Apparently the phone won't see my 64GB exfat card, so it thinks it has no card and triggers the FCs. This card works ok in other ROMs, and on my PC, so I suspect it's a lack of exfat support in the ROM, rather than bad hardware.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sacomais:
that's what i was talking about!

so, it's either having ext-sd and systemui fc's or having no systemui fc's but also no ext-sd nor back cam.. one or the other, right?

where are those patches (5.0 & 5.21)?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Patches are a couple pages back, or you might be fine with the stuff posted in the OP. I tried a bunch of different combos trying to get functional. Didn't try to streamline the process cause I need to get some sleep.

No guarantees, but it appears the key is a SD card that is not formatted exfat. I have no systemui FCs as long as my fat32 card is in the slot. It appears to be readable. Both cameras are working.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
I've had no internet for the last month (Eircom broadband are useless) so it makes it hard for me to chip in and help. But I'll "dismantle" that 5.3 patch and see what has changed and make a new flashable e970 zip for 5.3 (unless a new version is released) when the engineer comes out and sorts out the DSL line in my house and it's up and running.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
Okay, so I managed to download the ARTMOD 5.3 patch when I was in college and took a peek at the changes made. Artur seemed to replace a lot of apks in order to fix them, one of which was framework-res. Opening up the framework-res.apk and peeking into the storage_list.xml showed a similar problem with a lack of external SD and USB OTG storage mount points. I never took a look at what else he changed in the apk but I recompiled and signed it with the small fix in place.

I made a 5.3 patch w/ E970 edits included in a flashable zip and so far no SystemUI FCs and no camera switch problems for me. This was flashed from ARTMOD 5.22 using TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery. The changes in this E970 edit are:

Paulicat's kernel

a modified 5.3 framework-res.apk

XML etc/permissions files

The rest of the ARTMOD 5.3 patch

Slightly modified update-script for setting extra permission for platform.xml (just in case)

Modified AROMA splash screen, to differentiate between E975/E970 edit and to thank all involved.

I'd like to get approval from preferably [MENTION=4572763]artur0588[/MENTION] [MENTION=5168758]Paulicat[/MENTION] [MENTION=5906953]knight4frat[/MENTION] just so they know I used their mod/files/tweaks in advance and maybe [MENTION=3814993]RohanAJoshi[/MENTION] to test it before I hand it out for others to use, nobody likes a broken fix! :silly: BTW I will make a 5.3 E970 fix without the whole patch included too.

Eco~Mode toggle disappears upon flashing 5.3.0 patch for E970.. Battery life takes a toll as well.. Anybody else noticed this ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lpranal:
There's something weird going on with some of the patches for Artmod. I had installed the 5.3 patch from this site http://customlgoptimusg.blogspot.com/2014/08/rom-tutorial-instalar-rom-artmod-v41_7.html on top of the 5.2.2 rom before I realized there was an OTA update app built in.

This is going to sound made up, but it really freaked me out.

Everything was fine until I noticed my battery completely draining a couple nights. One morning, my gf and I decided to have some fun (yeah, that kind) and I started hearing the camera shutter. Looked in the gallery and there were a bunch of random photos and short videos in the gallery which leads me to believe someone was listening to our sexytime (!!!) and trying to get photos. Really freaked both of us out. When I checked chrome, there was a tab open with a spanish login page for facebook. Guessing maybe they were trying to upload the recordings? Was pretty pissed at this point so I did a complete wipe and battery life has been fine since. Just wondering if anyone's had any similar weirdness...

And that's one of the reasons why my E970 is placed in Airplane mode during the night... :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lpranal:
LOL I never understood why people were so paranoid about phone security until this happened. I should also note that I had Cerberus installed when the "hack" happened... debating whether or not I want to install it again
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jervisd:
I use Cerberus and have not experienced any problem like the one you described. Is it possible that the issue could have resulted from a malicious app installed from a secondary app store or even a freeware app with spyware encoded in it? There are quite a few fake antivirus apps for Android these days too.

I remember many years ago there was a windows application which made use of persons web camera in a similar manner - it was a "free" screensaver application which turned on the camera, made recordings and sent the file to its creator once there was an Internet connection.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrustyCrack:
Whoa, that sounds pretty extreme. I wouldn't feel safe at all after that. You should check the permissions that were set by the flashable zip's update script to see if the guy providing it is opening up "free access" to system critical files and folders on your phone.

Only issue is: have no back camera, i think thats a kernel problem, but thats the thing. I love the kernel it's what's. Keeping my phone lasting this long, and it's. So fast and smooth. I'll.

So we are at the artmod v5.31 which really is Great rom thank you , I have AT&T e970 , with v5.22 artmod ,cam not working and sd card

I have been through this theard

Another gentalman has installed the jollamans 11.1 kernel (maybe this was for Sprint version) .? I just wanted the sd card fixed and camera issue can anybody confirm the 3.51 patch does work with the 3.51 rom if not will proberly go back to stoick rom again

Hello greetings.

Do this steps (if you have done them, never mind):

0) Insert a working micro SD card in your phone.

0.1) Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and if you want the data.

1) Install first the full 5.3.1 ROM (800+ Megas)

2) Boot the ROM.

3) Play with it/configure it out to your needs.

4) Install the patch. 5.3.1.

5) Boot the phone.

That worked for me.

Artmod 5.4 for the E970.

Party time people Artmod 5.4 for the E970

I used TWRP 2.8.0.0 but it should work with CWM and PhilZ Touch

I already tested this before posting.

WARNING: YOU NEED A WORKING SD CARD INSERTED IN YOUR DEVICE BEFORE DOING THIS.

Download the ROM here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=Artur0588&dl=Artur0588/ARTMOD+v5.4_e975.zip

Download the patch here: https://mega.co.nz/#!oNFGSaQK!DUQU-BxErla2cr_Tr9_VUAq7PntcJtyFj6umNkgi3D8

1. Make your backups.

2. Perform a factory reset.

3. Wipe cache partition.

4. Wipe dalvik cache.

5. Go to mount and storage (depends on what recovery you're using), mount system then wipe that partition.

6. Flash the ROM (ARTMOD v5.4_e975.zip) Once Aroma Installer finishes the installation and it asks you to reboot select NO, I repeat DO NOT REBOOT your device or your SD card won't work and you have to do all the process again.

7. Go back the main screen then flash the patch (ARTMOD_5.4_PATCH.zip)

8. Now select reboot system or whatever the option is on your recovery to boot your device.

9. ???

10. PROFIT!!!
