I like the stock layout of my L90 D415. It's different than my other phones. I also like the WIFI calling. I've had CM11 on one of my old phones and I liked that too. I used to tether using CM11 on my old phone with 4G LTE on an unlimited plan with Sprint. I had faster download speeds than most people get with their cable modems. Now the carrier, phone, and plan is different. I have a T-Mobile plan with 2.5 GB of highspeed(hotspot) data, then unlimited 2G. If I flashed CM11 would it not trigger T-Mobile to limit my high speed data? What are the trade offs for going with a custom ROM like CM11 over the stock ROM?
[LG Optimus L90] voxluna:
Currently with this CM11 ROM on a D415 (specifically), there are a few things that don't work right. Here's what I know of.

The camera can't take video with stock apps (but VideoFX supposedly will)

I wanna say the camera is claimed to be worse quality (it's not so great to begin with)

GPS is "flaky at best" (but Maps for example can help you out a little with WiFi positioning)

you'll lose WiFi calling (but I use GrooveIP and ring.to to do it)

Video playback is somehow messed up, but I use MX Player without any issues.

The QuickRemote won't work, although it was much more limited on the L90 than on my G2. Use ZappIR instead.

On the plus side, you're gaining a lot of free memory because the ROM is cleaner, it'll be faster without the visual bloat, and of course you can tweak it six ways to Sunday. Also, if you have a D415, only use the builds specific to that model, which are available earlier in this thread. [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION] is the maintainer.

As for your hotspot: Without the stock app keeping track of when you turn it on, TMo probably won't notice if you tether. That's been my experience, at least -- YMMV. I have unlimited data, and have been known to use 35 GB in a month. Thankfully I don't get throttled down to EDGE when I go data crazy. Also, I have something like a 5 GB hotspot allowance, but I've noticed that not all of my tethering gets counted toward that limit now, if any.

In my opinion, unless they do traffic analysis, there's no easy way to know whether the phone or a laptop is using the bandwidth, when you start a hotspot with a custom ROM. Your plan is different than mine, so take this experience with a grain of salt and watch your caps.
[LG Optimus L90] ppillow:
I used about 180 GB a month. Lol

I just switched to a n5 so I might see that go up :P
[LG Optimus L90] guest_2011:
Would fasterfix or similar apps help with GPS?
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
Thank you for that information., it's very helpful. Say you would go over your 5GB allowance, would you then get throttled down to 2G(EDGE) like me? Where can I find the latest version of CM11 for the LG D-415? Is there a stable version of CM11? I had CM11 on my last phone. I only used the snapshot builds because I thought that they were safer and would have less of a chance damaging my device. My phone would make a high pitch sound when I would make calls. I think it made that sound during calls too. I flashed back to stock and it would still happen, I'm not sure why.
[LG Optimus L90] voxluna:
I've only been throttled once, and that was when I had a 500MB prepaid plan on one of my phones last year. And yes, it was EDGE the rest of the month, ugh. Besides that one experience, I pay for unlimited everything -- data, minutes, text is US$80. Worth every penny. I also think there's a good plan for $30 hidden in there, look for that one if you don't use talk minutes much.

A couple years ago, I had 4 lines. If I reached my data limit, TMo would actually just bump me up to the next highest data limit. So let's say if I was a 2.5GB customer, they'd push me up to a 5GB data plan, and begin charging me however much more that bigger plan cost... so, no throttling, no overage charges. Dunno if they still do that, and/or if having that many lines affected their behavior. Because on that prepaid line above, instead of me paying the extra $10 for the next plan up, they wanted me to pay an entire month ($60) all over again, when I had just paid $50 for the 500MB plan two days before.

Specifically for a D415, the latest we have is [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION]'s CM11 dated 12-02-2014, and some prior versions as well (10/22 worked well for me too). I'm not sure what their status would be relative to S or M versioning. I'm also not sure if anyone's working on CM12 for this phone yet, but if they are, it'll be quite tentative, I imagine. As long as you do a Nandroid-type backup, you can test it and see how you like it, and if not, just restore your previous ROM.

My guess is that there's something wrong with the phone, independent of whatever ROM you're using.
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
Does the bootloader have to be unlocked in order to install CM11? I rooted my phone with Towel Root, then followed Sadcamp's youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGM-TtlRbM and installed TWRP through the terminal emulator. I booted into TWRP recovery through the terminal emulator by typing "reboot recovery". Is there a way to access TRWP by powering off the phone and then pressing a combination of keys? I tried to load TWRP Recovery by turning off the phone then pressing the volume down button and the power button, but I got the factory hard reset instead. I exited that menu.
[LG Optimus L90] whodisname:
If you have a custom recovery don't worry about your bootloader

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Turn phone off.

Press the power and the volume up at the same time for 3 seconds . release for 2 seconds. Hold both together again. Continue to hold until you get a white screen asking a yes or no question release look. Answer yes then yes if you have stock or philztouch it will wipe and give you no options. If you have cwm or twrp you will boot into that hope this helps.
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
Thank you for the instructions. I did get it into twrp last night by that method. I followed a youtube video for twrp for the LG 3. What threw me is that I have to select yes when it asked for the factory reset. What you said is more descriptive and helpful.
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
I want to make a backup of the stock rom before I flash CM11. Would I have all the check boxes selected in TWRP's backup selection: Data, Cache, System, Boot, Android Secure(0MB), No Encryption, Enable Compression, Skip MD5 generation during backup?

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

I just tried to download CM11 for LG L90 LG-D415 from both Download links that are located in post #4 to my PC. I got several malware warnings from my antivirus. It made a new home screen on my web browsers too that also signaled my antivirus to warn me of malware infections on the web page. Is this typical? It did not download correctly.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
No that's not typical. I don't hear of this often but its not the first time. Unfortunately that's what we get with free file hosting. I'll be looking in to alternative hosting very soon.
[LG Optimus L90] voxluna:
ROM download has malware/virus?

I think I know what's going on here. You probably clicked on the first "Download" tab, which is dark blue. The one you want is the second button below it, which is a lighter blue, showing an arrow and the text "Download Now".

Unfortunately, I've seen as many as 3 or 4 buttons masquerading as the download link before. This is typical behavior for free hosting sites, it's not just dev-host. The way I try to determine which button is the "real" download: hover over it and look at the link in your status bar (the bottom line in Chrome, for example) -- if it ends in d-h.st, it's the right one.

BTW, the file that the bad link will download is called cm-11-20141202-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415.zip.exe. This is classic malware behavior, trying to trick the user by appearing to be a ZIP file (because Windows by default hides the file extension, which is a flat-out terrible idea).

Does anyone know how to disable keyboard on lock screen? If I lock with keyboard up, it stays there until I touch the weather info on cLock.
[LG Optimus L90] voxluna:
I want to say I've seen this in GravityBox or something, but I'm not sure. In any case, this question is off-topic in a thread about ROMs, so be careful about that in the future -- you might get yelled (typed?) at. Even so, you'll get a much broader audience for this question in a more appropriate forum (such as Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting) anyway.
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
Sorry, I was thinking it may have been something that was happening only on this ROM. See ss attached to see what I mean.

But your mention of xposed gave me another idea, which was actually the correct issue. It was the Flat Style mod config button. I can't reproduce without that turned on. Thanks!

You don't know your limits until you break them. Even then, your tolerance will be reset higher if you are still alive.
[LG Optimus L90] bocondo:
I was using 1022 ROM for some time last night I downloaded and installed 1202 update and all beep l video playback stopped working including YouTube, Netflix etc... So I tried installing 1202 with complete wipe... It still doesn't work... None of the videos... Can someone help? Should I go back to 1022 build?
[LG Optimus L90] JTC3:
Nevermind, I used philz instead
[LG Optimus L90] jb3p76:
I did clean wipe and installed 1202, no problems with YouTube, though I don't have Netflix.
[LG Optimus L90] Dukenukemx:
Any fix for Video recording? YouTube playback works fine for me.

Making new build as I make this post. I believe I've enabled LG's Knock Code thanks to [MENTION=6121686]BigMajster[/MENTION] :D I'll upload in 6 - 7 hours when the build has finished and I've had a chance to test.
[LG Optimus L90] judas1977:
@up

We can fix manual network search too, using custom RIL. I have it in my unreleased CPA 8.5 ROM. with tap to wake feature we have almost bugs free KitKat ROMs :). Maybe I'll update some of my KK ROMs in the future
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
Now if only we could get video recording working for all :p

Also, is it Knock Code, or (Knock On)?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
From the info I was given and the code I reviewed, it's LGs Knock On, not CMs Tap to Wake.
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
Yeah, I meant to put Knock Code, or Knock On, thanks though :D
[LG Optimus L90] BigMajster:
Knock On = CMs Double Tap to Wake. If you go in display settings you can disable this. Knock Code not supported yet. I will try once ported Tap2Wake it is very similar to Knock Code.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I stand corrected :eek::p
[LG Optimus L90] killer5000:
So what the good word
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Sadly, none at the moment. Build took almost 4 hrs longer than usual, I have no clue why, but Tap to Wake is NOT working.

I just got home from work. I'll look at my logcat to see if the double tap events are even being posted. I probably won't get around to it this evening tho. My knee is killing me and sitting at my desk aggravates it too.

Is that how big the backup file is supposed to be?
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
It is all down to how many apps you have installed. My backups are usually around 3000mb
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
Is there a way to shrink or zip the backup so that it does not take up as much space?
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
If you use TWRP there is a option for compression, on CWM I am not sure if that would work. You could zip it on your SD card, but then if you needed to use it, you would need to unzip it on a pc first.
[LG Optimus L90] msal:
Sorry if this has been asked..

But does this rom work with TWPR or do I have to use CWM?

So I just flashed this using CWM. It was surprisingly easy to set up although it took me a while to figure it out. I tried unlocking the bootloader but then I realized I didn't have to. For anyone who's struggling:

- Root with Towelroot

- Don't worry about the bootloader - it's already unlocked

- Use Flashify to flash custom recovery

- Put custom rom and gapps on phone (I put mine on SD card since I wiped everything)

- Flash

*Of course this is only for the D415*

Everything is working great although I notice a few bugs.

- Can't record videos at all

- Can't play any videos on the phone. Rebooting fixes this temporarily but then it goes back to being laggy and unstable when watching videos of any kind. I'm using MXPlayer at the moment.

- Also this might just be me, but my screen doesn't seem to get as bright as before. I bring this up because on the stock rom, I would always have to turn down the brightness when I'm indoors.

- This one might not be a 'bug' but it's something that I notice. There seems to be the slightest lag when moving throughout the UI. It mostly comes up in the recent apps, notification shade and when clicking the home button after having an app open. It's not fair to call it lag because it's not anything that slows down the phone but it's noticeable. I'm not sure how to explain it. The only reason I bring it up is because the rest of the ROM is smooth and works well.
[LG Optimus L90] JTC3:
Thanks a ton for explaining that man! Really helped clear things out for me! ! ;)
[LG Optimus L90] guest_2011:
Video recording 720/1080 works fine in the stock 4.4.2 :P I'm waiting for a miracle that it will work in cm12 for all my devices. If not, i'm going back to stock or official upgrades. I don't expect cm12 to be 100% functional ever but i dream.
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
In the app called "file manager"(that debuted on XDA) I saw that I can compress files. What would this do?
[LG Optimus L90] Dukenukemx:
What would compression do? Packs a file tighter to take up less space.
[LG Optimus L90] DevoutDevelopment:
Compressing a backup from cwm or twrp would render them basically useless. You would need to uncompress them in order to have the recovery be able to use them.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Stock is too slow for my taste :P
[LG Optimus L90] Dukenukemx:
Stock means you risk accidentally upgrading the phone to a newer more locked down phone. Look what happens with Samsung owners. Their bootloaders are locked and can't install custom roms.

I can live without video recording for a while longer.
[LG Optimus L90] xxv:
Root?

Hello all!

I've got a p415 that I'm trying to get going with this sweet ROM, but am a bit stuck at the starting gate. It appears that while the bootloader is unlocked, there's no good way to get an image on without rooting the device in some way. Unfortunately, towelroot doesn't seem to be working on this particular device. When I run towelroot (I tried v3), it says helpfully, "This phone isn't currently supported".

Normally I'd just use fastboot, but there's an LG tool that comes up instead (triggered by powering off the phone, unplugging any USB cables, holding down the volume key, and plugging it back in). Is there a way to install custom images using this mode? I tried using the LG tool, but it seems that it doesn't have any option for providing images.

I know you can activate fastboot, but of course that requires root first.

This is an LG-D415 running SW version:

D41510e

Build:

KOT49I.D41510e
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
Okay. I know we have another root method. I'll check that out for a link
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
As you've stated, ROOT is required to do any customizations on the device. You're only option at this point is to downgrade via KDZ to V10C then root and so on... Currently there is NO root exploit available for V10E. Sorry.
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
Thought there was. Well then.
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
about root.....

i think this one should work ??? :

[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
Worth a shot. I almost rooted my phone with a kindle fire vuln before towel root
[LG Optimus L90] xxv:
Unfortunately, Stump did not work. While it quite effectively played a cute chiptune, it did not—in fact—root the device. Error was, "ERROR: Unsupported device".
[LG Optimus L90] shoxxy:
ah ok i dont know that....

because our stock rom in germany is just 10c ;)
[LG Optimus L90] jasonmerc:
[MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION], if I may make a suggestion for the next upcoming ROM build of yours, it would be to include Cyanogenmod's WhisperPush app/service. If it's too much of a hassle to do then don't worry about it, but I would assume (probably not accurate since I have no experience with these kinds of things) that since WhisperPush is normally included in CM ROMs that it wouldn't be too hard to put it in this D415 version of CM.

Again, this is just a minor suggestion/request. I really appreciate the work you are doing for this ROM already, and you don't have to take my request if you don't want to :)

EDIT: Just scrolled through the Apps menu and found that WhisperPush IS actually in the ROM already, but for some reason it is not showing up in the menu of my launcher. It's running in the background and isn't disabled, but the launcher doesn't acknowledge that it exists...

None of the Camera is working

This is wasn't easy as I thought it would be. Took me almost 3 hours to figure out installing cm11 on to D415(unlocked L90).

I didn't know CM11 for D405/D410 does not work with D415 from the below link.

(https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...Qgk4f5O0-umsrfaGw&sig2=7yLnb_Qw0jCG06QGtqQdPQ)

I had to specifically use the cm11 from this post and I got it work.

However none of my camera seem to be working.

I don't even see the camera app.

Am I doing something wrong?

:confused:
[LG Optimus L90] guest_2011:
I don't get update notifications anymore hopefully because of the fotakill, but i didn't have enough space anyway for 274mb update. What model/carrier samsung got locked bl update? If samsung is doing it on purpose i'll have to look into other brands in the future.

This is your first rom?? Wow. I'm impressed, and you of course have my full support. Although I'm not nearly experienced at any of this stuff compared to you, I am happy and willing to help in any way possible.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] got the ball rolling, so all credit really goes to him. I just had an idea as to what the issue was with the D415 which turned out to be correct. The only way I could implement my theory was to build the ROM myself. And here we are now... LOL
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Synced with CM11 sources. Reverted back to CAF kernel. Rebuilding now. I'll know in about 2 hours or so if this is gonna work or not. That's about half way thru the build which is where it failed early this morning.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Hope I don't jinx it but it looks like the build is gonna complete :D We'll find out in the next hour or so!
[LG Optimus L90] slamdunksaliby:
Awesome! :) so in theory the main things that don't work should be fixed because of this new kernel?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Err... Well... that was the original idea. I was unable to change kernel sources so we're stuck with the CAF kernel, :mad: until I find out or figure out how to switch kernels.

I do believe that switching to LG's kernel will fix most of the issues we're currently facing but the ROM will more than likely perform more along the lines of the device running stock 4.4.2. Maybe a tad bit faster.
[LG Optimus L90] slamdunksaliby:
No worries thanks for trying...so you're saying things will work better but it may be slower cuz its on stock kernel?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Yep. When I can switch to and build the stock kernel.

Actually just had a thought... it will unfortunately take some time to test. Not gonna spill the beans just yet...
[LG Optimus L90] slamdunksaliby:
Alright any help just let me know in terms of testing...got two devices available :)
[LG Optimus L90] Pippinkid:
Am happily willing as well to test any rom you crank out. :)
[LG Optimus L90] slamdunksaliby:
Do you think maybe the stock kernel just isn't compatible with AOSP ROMs?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
No, I don't believe that's the issue I was having.

I have an idea that will most likely work but I need to test it first. But, I gotta wait for my current build to finish building before I can do anything :silly:

Might be time to invest in another monitor so I can run my other PC while by build PC is building...
