I'm about to switch to this phone since I broke my S4 and needed something that's decent while I save up to fix my S4 (aka my parents felt pity on my soul and offered to buy me a cheap replacement phone while I save up money to fix my phone :p ) and I just want to confirm some of my thoughts.

Is playing video broken? As in snapchats, youtube app, using mx player, etc? I use snapchat and youtube a lot so I'm just curious.

From what I read, GPS is still a little flaky as in it takes a long time to lock. Once it locks, can I use it for google maps navigation flawlessly?

Video recording is apparently broken but that is whatever since I don't really record videos on my phone (never did on my S4 unless it was snapchat video recording)

IR Blaster is whatever. It'll be nice to get it working but I don't have a TV in my dorm anyway :p

The first two points are serious enough to make me consider holding out until it's fixed (or I might struggle through it since I love AOSP :victory:)
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
No, video playback isn't completely broken. MX Player works great. I've tested with YouTube via stock browser also. Viedo recording appears to be broken for some.

GPS is no so good inside now. Not sure about how accurate it is when traveling either. I don't use GPS, LOL...
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
also any chance to c wifi calling like on stock with no signal?
[LG Optimus L90] bunu:
I guess I'll try it out when I walk around campus before I decide to drive the 3 hrs back home. haha

Also, can anyone link to me a way to unlock the bootloader for the T-Mo variant of this phone? I looked around the forum but the only way I saw was to flash some .kbz file or something using LG's software tools. I'm used to ODIN and not having to unlock bootloaders and I don't want to brick my device once it comes in. :silly:
[LG Optimus L90] janejunx:
Fairly well-known that wifi calling is a stock-only feature for all phones.
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
I guess we are at the beginning of rom development for this phone. As time goes by. All the secrets will be revealed. This is a good phone indeed specially because of its battery. It's hard to have a phone that last this long this days
[LG Optimus L90] ppillow:
I've noticed USB tethering doesn't work. At least for me. Also GPS works. But at times I'm about 2 blocks away from where I really am lol
[LG Optimus L90] Andronote3:
i managed to get a lock for the first time after installing fastergps. it took about 4 minutes to get locked. didn't navigate so i can't say anything about that. I've had 2 D415s and both sucked getting locks and navigating. (stock and cm)
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
I used this app on stock, it's helped lock on time a lot?
[LG Optimus L90] Andronote3:
that's the one im using but it still takes a long while to get a lock.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
You will have to set the date and time. That's one bug and I'm not sure if it's because it's not getting the time and date correctly or something else. So don't depend on this recovery for daily use.
[LG Optimus L90] xantanion:
Do you mean it makes the system time screwy or just in ecovery?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Just in the recovery.
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
An individual thread for CM for the D415?! This is freaking awesome! You're the best shinobisoft (and Quarx of course)! :victory: I have a question though, I of course have a 4G plan but no matter what rom I run, whether it be CM or Pac or Gummy or what have you, the device only seems to be picking up 3G. I am not the best with this kind of stuff so don't be too harsh! :silly: But is it possible to enable the 4G? (Oh and happy birthday!!)
[LG Optimus L90] k2wl:
i dont think d415 have lte i.e 4g radio.
[LG Optimus L90] Andronote3:
I just want to let you know that your Gapps link is no longer useful, the guy running the thread closed it and killed the links.

Here is the new source for Gapps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Just a question about the ROM, does it support the L90's IR Blaster? I can't seem to get any IR Remote app to work.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
No. IR is broken at the moment.
[LG Optimus L90] zenconcepts:
Wow, thanks. :good:
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
What do you mean? On the stock rom, the status bar displayed 4G, indicating that 4G was in use. So I know this phone is capable of 4G. :silly: In the status bar in CM however, the 3G indicator is displayed, and when I go Settings>Mobile Networks>Preferred network type, I can change the network type from 3G to 2G, but not 4G?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I don't believe there is 4g radio option in CM. Haven't seen it in any ROM.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
D415 is sold as a 4g device. As I just stated tho, I've never seen a 4g option in any CM ROM.
[LG Optimus L90] Andronote3:
Does that mean we lose 4g or just that it's not displayed in status bar and settings?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Honestly not sure. Haven't done a speed test. I don't have full time 4g anyway. I only get 250 or 500 MB at 4g then it drops down to 3g.
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
My brother has a d415 too running stock! I can compare my phone running your 9/10 build to his stock rom. Will be back with results shortly.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Okay, unfortunately my device for what ever reason will not connect to wifi and when I try to use the "3G" it wont connect to the play store :eek: So I can not compare it with my device directly. Perhaps someone else can run the test and compare? However, I ran the speed test using 4G on the stock phone and this is what I got...

Download: 6.32 Mbps

Upload: 1.55 Mbps

(XDA will not allow me to post an ss because the file is too big. Sorry.)
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
My bill is due tomorrow so I'll have 4G service for a week or so. If no one else posts any results I'll look in to it myself.
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
Sounds good. If I can get mine online, I'll make sure to post the comparison. :)
[LG Optimus L90] zxcv888:
it's sold as 4G but, not LTE. When Tmobile says 4G, they mean H+. Not LTE
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
CWM 6.0.5.0 added to post #2
[LG Optimus L90] xantanion:
I'll stick with the philz that you put up, no issues with it at all And I like the feel of it better. Also for the speed thing, I'm pretty sure CM doesn't have the frequencies of the 4G/H+ networks built into their radio coding, but I could be wrong.
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
Also, in regards to the IR blaster...

Turning off TVs in restaurants while people are watching sports games is the BEST!
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
Bruhh, you just gave me an idea c;
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
about ir quickremote. is there an workin one for custom roms like cm11.???

greets shoxxy
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Yep. G2 forums has one. But I think there's something missing. I see a PERMISSION DENIED error for irrc in logcats.
[LG Optimus L90] Aly3n:
Otg working
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Can't say. Nothing to test with. LOL. It's configured in the kernel tho. ;)
[LG Optimus L90] Aly3n:
Lol just tried it and idk if its a problem with otg cable or with the phone
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
This phone supports otg?
[LG Optimus L90] Aly3n:
Not for me :l
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
Same here that's why I was confused..
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
According to LGs own kernel configs it does
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
That's awesome, nice find!
[LG Optimus L90] 1Emerson1:
Was it enabled by default or did you enabled it?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Already enabled ;)
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Yet another feature I had no idea about. Yet another reason why my money was well spent on this phone.
[LG Optimus L90] 1Emerson1:
It's not working for me, I know this phone supports mouse and keyboard but I believe you need addition power. Maybe it's the same situation for USB OTG.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
It may be. I know nothing of OTG personally.
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
Actually that was the first idea I had after I got this phone. With the right driver we can install third party app to give more compatibility with tons of new devices ☺?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Hey, [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION], I found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596104 Maybe it can work for us too?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Yeah that ones a no go. Plus it only offers TVs or Cable Boxes :confused: I'll eventually get around, unless someone beats me to it, to deodexing the D415 QuickRemote app.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Yeah....I just tried and it doesn't work. At least I'm enjoying CM 11!!!!! [emoji4]
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
We all are :D Much better than the L9, huh? :p:silly::D:D
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
I'm curious, has anyone flashed your builds and then for whatever reason restore a nandroid backup without any problems on quarx twrp?

If memory serves some people that went back to stock after flashing cm11 had touch issues on stock..

That's what's kinda holding me back on trying this out aha, well that and I'm to lazy to restore every app one by one on titanium backup lol
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I do. No touch issues with stock. But if there are its an easy fix.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
My build is using different display drivers ;)
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
If the fix is the hidden menu touch panel firmware thing then yeah that's easy c;

Had to use that after flashing twrp aha,

Well guess I'll be giving this a test run soon ?

Thanks for the quick reply to btw ?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
YES!!!! Everything is so much more responsive and the internet doesn't lag as much!
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
There are still even better apps to ir blaster that can work with thousands of devices. And it's compatible with cm's roms. We only need the correct drivers to make it work, like for instance smart ir remote. They said it's compatible with cm's roms we only need the right drivers nothing more and it's a normal apk
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
nfc service is draining most of my battery its even more than screen... not letting my phone sleep, any ideas?

I just used file explorer to locate nfc.apk and renamed it to nfc.apk.bak and it seems to fix this.. no problems so far.. i dont use it anyway
[LG Optimus L90] Aly3n:
is the proximity/light sensor working or just the auto brightness not working :p
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
No auto brightness support for this device. There is an Ambient light sensor tho.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
After doing some more research, I found that the reason the manufacturer list isn't showing up has something to do with the 10QuickRemote script in the init.d folder. Here are the contents.....

#!/system/bin/sh

#open access to IR for all apps

chmod 666 /dev/ttyHSL1

#try to set target country

country=$(getprop persist.sys.country)

setprop ro.build.target_country $country

#set operator

device=$(getprop ro.product.device)

operator="OPEN"

if grep -qi 800 <<<$device; then

operator="ATT"

fi

if grep -qi vs <<<$device; then

operator="VZW"

fi

setprop ro.build.target_operator $operator

Maybe it just needs to be altered?
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Chmod 666 :eek:
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
If I knew linux I could fix this unfortunately only vba
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Unfortunately there's more to it than just that script. [emoji6]

Hey I flashed the latest but still need MX to play videos. Also I'm unable to record. Anyone else have this issue?
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
I have tried to flash Philz Touch Recovery using Flashify, but it doesn't boot to recovery probably owing to the fact that my bootloader isn't unlocked and it refuses to boot on crc check, how can I overcome this?
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
Successful unlocked bootloader but I have lost root capabilities, one problem solved another enters.

I used this guided

http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-guide-to-unlocking-bootloader-l90-t2852917

, but it doesn't matter now my phone is ready to flash new pre rooted roms.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
that's really weird. You shouldn't have lost root just by unlocking the bootloader.
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
My friend had something similar happen. He flashed a CM ROM to his Verizon Galaxy S3, and when he booted up the ROM it lost root.

I'd say just re-root it.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
Everything's working great, [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION]! It felt so good showing off to my brother! LMAO!
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
As far I'm concerned only purpledrake can root the latest stock rom from LG.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

More problems for me, since purpledark is only intended to work with stock recovery, now I have Philz, the only way was to flash the stock recovey, reroot and flash again Philz, the correct order is this is, unlock bootloader, root, and only install custom recovery, does anyone here knows another method of rooting?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I used TowelRoot and rooted weeks before unlocking bootloader. I never lost root.
[LG Optimus L90] ruzell:
I haven't even unlocked bootloader and everything works fine. Is there a risk or something?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Probably not. I just wanted to be sure ;)
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
You don't have any risk simply you can't install any custom recovery, hence not be able to install any custom rom, when I had bootloader locked it won't load custom recovery because CRC doesn't match with the original one.
[LG Optimus L90] ruzell:
Just pointing out bootloader being unlocked might not be as important as i thought. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.0 and have not faced a single problem flashing a ROM :laugh:
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
D415 is a little different than the other variants. Unlocked bootloader not required to install custom recovery.
[LG Optimus L90] Viggen66:
On my D410 it doesn't boot the custom recovery, it appears a purple screen telling about the error
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Are we sure the D415 doesn't actually COME bootloader unlocked? I hear tmobile is really good with keeping their products open to mods. I think someone told me the T-Mobile S5 came unlocked, maybe they did the same for this.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I've heard it came unlocked out of the box. I went thru the motions anyway.

The L9 P769, two models previous of the Optimus line, is practically unlockable. Very few people had luck unlocking it. However, I also have two first gen Optimus One models, P506 & P509, that didn't have a bootloader to lock or unlock.
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Sorry for being off topic, but you just brought back memories of my P506 :) I could never get a working custom recovery on it. But it's too late now, the thing has long since broken from a faulty KDZ flash...

...Okay fine, it was actually because I was dumb enough to flash a P505 KDZ and it got stuck in emergency mode.

That was a good week.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I had 2 P506, both stuck in Emergency mode. Took 2 years to find a successful restore method. Revived both of them. :) Still have one of them.
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
I wish I knew about this 2 years ago ;)

Mine was absolutely destroyed, though. Couldn't even detect a radio, IMEI, or anything. It wouldn't even recognize when I plugged it in. If I remember correctly, Windows wouldn't even see anything, and the LG Emergency Restore just saw an Unknown.

If that thing still worked, I guarantee I'd still be using it today. It was my first android phone, and I only had it for 5 measly days before returning to sender...
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
After coming from an L9, trust me, they had the boot loader LOCKED DOWN as if it had top secret nuke launch codes...
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
No top secret launch codes, definitely something even MORE secret...

... Like the bootloader unlock plans for the Photon 4g.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

So anyway, is there any way to prevent PhilZ from factory resetting when I do the power on key combo for recovery (the dialog that asks for factory reset confirmation). I like PhilZ more than TWRP, but I use TWRP because the key combo doesn't trigger factory reset it just brings me to the main menu, where I can then choose to do what I want.

Not that big of a deal as of now, but let's say I flash a ROM that gets stuck in a bootloop. With TWRP I just do the key combo and I restore a stable backup. But with PhilZ it just factory resets my device and reboots me to the OS again, which in this case does not work.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
The Philz-Touch in my thread by [MENTION=5429599]shoxxy[/MENTION] is supposed to have the factory reset feature disabled. I do plan on making my own builds of TWRP, Philz-Touch, and CWM.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
LMAO....either that or they were getting their kicks from our misery! [emoji35]
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Thinking about ordering an LG Thrive off eBay now. Thanks a lot shinobi.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I use my Optimus T ( P509 ) as a media player while working on the job site. I've been thinking of building a stripped down ROM, no telephony etc., to make it a full fledged media player. Only reason I bring this up is I remember that custom ROMs for the Thrive were hard to come by.
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
It comes unlocked. After my last kdz restore I never unlocked the bootloader
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Not sure if this would help us with our porting-stock-IRremote-app-to-CM11 extravaganza, but I found this on XposedFramework:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/apk-resoverloader-overload-applications-t2743634

Apparently this let's us overwrite something called a strings.XML without removing OEM signatures. I'm no dev so I have zero ides what a strings.XML is, but it looked like it might be of assistance to us.

Please don't laugh at me too hard if this has nothing to do with what we are trying to do, again I'm not a dev so I haven't the slightest idea what a strings file does. I just read "OEM Application Signatures" and "Rewrite Application File" and figured I'd let someone else know about this who actually knows what he is talking about [shinobisoft].
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
That module is for changing strings for an apk. For example, you have an app with a button labeled 'Open' and you want it to say 'Closed'.
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
Whoops... So that's what a string is...
[LG Optimus L90] mcslamer:
App to SD

Sorry if this question has been answered before but in stock rom i was able to move apps to sd and i just noticed that i cant on this version of CM 11 is that a thing for cm11 or is it just me? i know KitKat has new rules for Write to sd card but i thought maybe CM would let us do it.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I'm not sure if app2sd is incorporated in to CM or not. Out of habit, I use link2sd. Have no issues with it. It does require a secondary EXT4 partition on the sdcard tho. I also use Xposed framework with a module named HandleExternalStorage which allows read/write access for all apps to the sdcard. This can be customized on a per app basis too.
[LG Optimus L90] mcslamer:
Thanks

ive downloaded some modules from Xposed and some apps from the play store that said would help but still not seeing the option the move apps to SD card. i personally use appmanager to manage apps and move to SD card but again not seeing that optain

I've been getting a lot of touch screen issues. Mainly when I wake the device it won't register touch's and thing of that sort, and when I try to type it will not register most of my touch's. I haven't dropped it so I don't think the phone is damaged.

Any ideas what the problem is?
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
What variant
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
The D415 on T-Mobile with the 10/7 build
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Have you tried rebooting? Without logcats and dmesg logs I can't figure out what's going on. I can't use my device for logs as I'm not experiencing any issues other than those listed in the OP.
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling the ROM and many things.

I can supply the logcats and dmesg logs, but if you're too busy that's completely understandable.

It seems that NFC is causing wakelocks
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
You can freeze the NFC service then uninstall it.
[LG Optimus L90] rgill420:
Yup I think that was it ...the phone was getting bad with NFC ...hard to wake it up pushing home button or power 3-4 times ...I just went to file manager and deleted the service and restarted my phone ...back to being fast again ??
[LG Optimus L90] googlephone:
But this phone has no nfc. Why there is nfc wakelocks?
[LG Optimus L90] janejunx:
I think you just answered your own question.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
According to LG's own stock kernel configs, it does have NFC. Also according to all the logs I've reviewed for this ROM, NFC works. So how does it work if the device doesn't support it?

I have no issues with NFC other than an additional drain on the battery.

This is really confusing. Some users have no issues, like me, and others have issues. I'm beginning to think that there must be some differences in hardware for some D415 models.
[LG Optimus L90] Daisuke1988:
If there are different variants of the d415 do you think it could be the cause of some of us not being able to record?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I'd have to say so. Of course I'm just making an educated guess about it. But that's about all it can be.:confused:
