HOT!!!

So with help I managed to get UNBRICKED and back to running (actually USING) xdabbeb v2.3.0 on vs980

Have had some issues with the phone getting REALLY hot.... once when my kid was running facebook, and later on when I was talking (Voice) on the phone. I know "Hot" means battery draining.

I am wondering isit normal? How hot should the phone get if your speaking on it for 30 minutes?

THANKS

Never moved to 2.3, simply installed his latest camera and saw no reason to leave 2.2, will prob make the jump to 2.5 here soon. Having said that, had no vpn issues on any of his Roms so far. Use open vpn allot for work, used others too... no issues. I would not expect to break either as it's pretty basic to the os.
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
You guys keep mentioning 2.5, he hasn't released a 2.5 version of this ROM yet. He has his vs982.5 ROM, which is what i think you mean.

Anyway, has anyone tried Onavo or Opera data saver? It's not working on a clean install of 2.3.0 with no other apps installed.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
[MENTION=5111270]markml0528[/MENTION], it does work for you on other roms?

[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
It used to work on older versions of xdabbeb's ROM, although I don't remember which.

Another issue, why is it when you plug in a USB cable to charge, the animation is choppy and laggy.
[Verizon LG G2] elite001mm:
For everyone complaining about their phones getting hot, stock kernels ALWAYS make my phone get really hot (and consequentially have bad battery life) even under what I would consider normal usage (this includes xdabbebs kernel). Flashing another kernel is the only way I could fix it. I also undervolted -50mv (runs cooler, more efficient, slight chance of a random reboot), which is something xdabbebs kernel does not allow. I'm using latest dorimanx. Battery life and heat is still gonna suck out of the box but you can tweak it to your liking. I use this: yankactive governor, CPU temp capped at 60c, 2 cores online at all times (more power/performance efficient than the second core hotplugging nonstop), conservative GPU governor, and using an init.d script to undervolted -50mv on boot. Now it runs cool and I get good battery life. No real performance hit either.

No idea what you're on about. Xdabbeb's stock kernels always give me the best results. My phone rarely gets hot and I net crazy SoT.
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
Does anyone notice when you plug in your phone to charge that the USB animation on the screen is very stuttery and laggy?

Is there a way to disable the USB plug in animation in settings somewhere?? (without xposed)
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
I do believe it worked on 2.2.0, but on 2.3.0 it's definitely broken. I don't know if open vpn uses the built in OS VPN or if it's working similar to the way Hola Free VPN works. Hola Free VPN works, but that's because it's not using Android's built in VPN service.

He hasn't actually released a 2.5 version yet, you're probably on his other vs982.5 v1.0.0 ROM. I tested VPNs on his vs982.5 ROM and they work fine, but when testing it on his vs980 v2.3.0 ROM they certainly do not work. I tried to test Private Internet Access but it looks like it costs money, so I wasn't able to test it. I'd take a guess and say it's probably not using the OS's built in VPN, and that it's actually using something similar to Hola Free VPN.

I'll post the logs and screenshot here for everyone to see for themselves. Log 1 has the whole system logged. Log 2 only logged Onavo.

You could disable plug and pop/lg tangibleio.

I've never had an issue with it on either rom. You might have something rise going on...Change kernels? Change kernel settings?

LG G2 xdabbeb's vs982.5
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
It happens for certain on his vs980 ROMs, but not on his newer vs982.5 ROM. Are you sure you've paid attention to the USB plug in animation? I think it's there but you just haven't noticed it. It's been present on every version of his vs980 ROMs as far back as I can remember, which is april or may I believe. Compare it to the animation on his vs982.5 ROM, which has a smooth animation. I don't mess with any kernel settings or different kernels. Always the stock kernel, and it's always been present on a clean install without even installing a single app.

If you're still skeptical, I can try installing a screen recording app and uploading it somewhere.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Without Xposed you'd need to use a root explorer and rename the plug and pop app, I believe.

LG G2 VS980
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
Went ahead and made a screen recording of the USB animation bug. https://vid.me/vHbg

Now, compare it to the one on your phone. If your'e on the vs980 v2.3.0 ROM or earlier, it'll look like stuttery and laggy like in the video I just linked. If you're on the his new vs982.5 ROM, it'll be a smooth animation.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I wouldn't think it would make a difference, but does it do it regardless of art, dalvik, launcher, app, etc? I seriously don't recall having a stutter on that rom (maybe it was there, but I just ignored it), but then again in not sure what I did last week. ☺

LG G2 xdabbeb's vs982.5
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
I don't use ART, I've found that a few games don't work with ART (back when I tried it out) so I use Dalvik to ensure compatibility with everything. The animation bug has never been fixed, regardless of any settings or apps. Anyway, like I said, after wiping everything, then clean installing the ROM, the USB animation bug is present.

Anyway, you do notice the difference in smoothness in the video I posted compared to your phone right? (You are using the vs982.5 ROM, right?)
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I do see the stutter in the video and I don't have any on this rom as you said.

I don't think it's an issue that would need to be fixed, but if it bothers you (apparently it does) disable plug and pop and/or tangibleio, try different animation scale (sometimes 0.5 scale does odd things to animations; I use 0.75) in developer settings, or use the vs982.5 rom.

LG G2 xdabbeb's vs982.5
[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
It's not a huge deal, but on xdabbeb's post it says to submit bug reports and request features for his ROM. This is a bug, so I'd bet he'd be interested in fixing it. He fixed it on his vs982.5 ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
Sorry for the late reply and sorry nobody got to you a lot sooner and this possibly may be way too late but may help someone else out.

I haven't used XDABBEB yet with the patched ART but will as soon as I can get my phone restored (library computer bandwith is miserable) but in theory no apps should need to be changed to be compatible with ART. The issue is (or was...it's been some time and ART has evolved) that some apps take or took advantage of DALVIK hacks to accomplish certain tasks. These apps won't run in ART and will crash as you describe.

Secondly, let's compare DALVIK to a bunch of gifted 6th graders who are brilliant. Well most are, but I'm sure some slipped through the cracks and are only barely managing to hold down the courses. Now imagine taking these same students and sticking them into a first or second year Economics class in college. Sure the truly gifted 6th graders will probably hang in there admirably but the ones that were struggling before won't likely last a week or two.

Point is, ART demands that the code be written correctly and any shortcuts or other workarounds that may have worked in DALVIK, ART may not like and decide not to run the code at all. Again though a lot of time has passed and ART has had updated libraries and developers time to rewrite any of their "gifted but not so gifted" code (or stop relying on DALVIK hacks). Most apps should work fine by now (Xposed still doesn't so I hear which is cool I'd rather manually tweak what I need anyways if the devs can't bother getting it working in ART) and again technically no developer who had well written apps out there should even had to have done a thing to their code for it to work.

If anyone is still having trouble with their apps I'd suggest contacting the app dev and asking if the app still relies on old DALVIK tricks and politely ask if it will ever be updated. If not, I'd find another app instead or just stop using the one that stopped working (or just switch back to DALVIK if you really need that certain app). You can try the ART patch and also try reverting the ART patch to see if that does anything or find newer ART library files but truthfully, crashes like you describe are likely due to the app itself misbehaving with ART.

I ran ART on an older other ROM for quite some time back in 2014 and only ran into one maybe two apps that didn't work and xposed was one of them. Apps that were coded mostly in native code (using the NDK) won't see much if any of any performance gains from ART. These are apps that were written in C already so already are compiled to begin with. Many games use the NDK heavily as well as benchmark apps so I don't see why your games would have crashed like that except for the reasons stated earlier.

again can someone tell me why there is a xdabbeb 2.2, 2.3 and 2.5?

i know something has to be different as there are just to many Active posts in each thread

this 2.3 thread is the most active and its older then the 2.5?

i cant seem to find the xdabbeb 2.2 rom anymore can someone link me as i did like it.

please again....

if 2.5 is the newest why are there more people on 2.3 (activity in this forum on this thread)
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
He has two ROMs, VS980 (v)ersion 2.3, which is based off VZWs G2 stock fw and VS985.2 (v)ersion 1.0, which is based off VZWs G3 stock fw. Both for our G2.

If there isn't a link to VS980 v2.2 in this thread, then no one else should post it without the devs permission. I guess you could ask the dev for that version but why wouldn't you want to use the latest update.

VS985.2 v1.0 has a Q&A that is active.

Try them both out and see what you like better.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I think some of the confusion might be coming from the q&a thread for the 2.3.0 rom still has 2.2.0 in the title. That and since the majority of the activity, as you said, for the vs982.5 rom is in its q&a thread rather than the development thread. If one didn't know that, it almost appears that that thread is dead. And, since the development thread doesn't see much activity, the thread gets buried in the Verizon G2 development forum. I'm not a big fan on how xda implemented the q&a feature (at least on mobile). The q&a thread should stay with the rom development thread imo; it's been so long since I've used xda on a pc, is q&a another tab (like bug reports, feature requests, etc)?

[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
you sir are 100% correct.

i am getting confused with xdabbeb naming/number system when the forums are set with the Q&A threads

the xdabbeb 2.3 and the 2.5.1 or 1.0.0 is bad enough but when combined with the forum layout i get lost or confused

+1 on keeping the the threads all in one.

yea they are a pain to keep clean but i see some threads with over 500pages and that is at 50 or 100 page i forget so i know it can be done (Viper32 flash to pageplus thread is huge) but it is the proper way to do it

so xdabbebs vs982.5 is based on the G3 rom which your saying is based off lollipop then?

G3 shipped with LP right?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yes G3, no, it's not lollipop, it's kit kat.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
and the xdabbeb 2.3 is probably the more stable as its kitkat based all the way compared to the xdabbeb vs982.5 as its kitkat based with G3 UI?

It's kit kat.

[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
The vs980 v2.3.0 ROM seemed more stable to me. Same for performance, it seemed a bit better on the v2.3.0 ROM. Not sure if I just imagined it or what, but the vs982.5 ROM seemed a bit laggier and more stuttery than the vs980 ROM.

Do I need to flash the 26A bootstack if I am in 27A?

Hi. I am a bit new to flashing my G2 (and this thing is awesome and I love it) I've reading all the info and posts but am still confused about the 26A bootstack as I just returned to stock (12B) and got the update all the way to 27A.

Can anyone assist me a bit with it?

Thanks you and sorry to bother.
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
I have not experience with 27A, but there should be no reason you can't flash the 26A Bootstack and since the OP states you need to be on 26A Bootstack I wouldn't mess around with 27A. Probably wouldn't cause any real issue than you phone not booting up but nothing you couldn't fix by going back into recovery and flashing 26A. I have floated back and forth on 26A and 12B ROMs with no issue.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

I am guessing you don't have an appropriate bootstack on your phone for your D802. Best I can think of is to restore a nandroid and cross your fingers b/c if not you have to probably KDZ your way back to stock and start over.

EDIT - Also it is just good practice to always keep one set of all the things you need to make your phone function in the case of a disaster. For me...I always keep ROM, and Bootstack I know works so I can get my phone up and running in case something goes wrong.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Great advice! And, to add, have everything not only on phone, but also on an easily accessible computer, and an otg drive (~$15 for 32gb) handy when a computer is unavailable.

Signal Issues

I've been using this ROM, with no complaints, for about a month. In the past few days, I have run into an issue where I have 4G signal and access to mobile data, but when I attempt to send/ receive a phone call, the device simply will not do so.

Most of the time, the dialer screen will show Dialing... and never actually connects and eventually timeout. Sometimes, the device screen goes black and everything becomes unresponsive until the timeout and then I can push the power button for the screen to come back. This only seems to happen in my "home" cell tower and various ones throughout the city. The phone works flawlessly in my "work" cell tower.

Any ideas on what is causing this, or how I could go about fixing it?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
^ Verizon has been having intermittent issues with their VoLTE service over the past month. Try disabling it if you haven't already done so. It's in beta for a reason :)
[Verizon LG G2] HotSauce Pwns:
Possibly a stupid question - where in your ROM is the setting to toggle this?

I don't see it under call settings.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Enable hdvoice via verizon website. Reboot phone and settings will reflect the change.
[Verizon LG G2] HotSauce Pwns:
Ah, now I see it as "Voice Calling" under call settings. Odd thing is that it seems to have fixed the issue by enabling this feature.

Appreciate the response from you and xdabbeb.
[Verizon LG G2] Ronin3178:
Probably a dumb question, but..

Ok, so long story, but I will try and keep it short.

G2 with pressure cracks in LCD (not glass) began having problems with people hearing me when I called them, wasn't mic as "OK Google" and other apps worked, plus when I received a call they could hear me. Ended up getting a Nexus 6.

A data reset fixed the problem for about a day, so I think it's software related.

Have the 27A OTA running and was just now able to root using Stump, but I'm not sure if I can install any of the ROMs using Clockwork now with 27A or do I need to do something else. I was into the custom nightlies back when I had the original DROID and Droid RAZR, but haven't kept up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] Joeful:
I'm trying to restore to stock to upgrade to Lollipop. I'm on XDA 2.3.0 (26A), and I've already flashed the correct download mode restore file, but my device manager will not find my device when booted into download mode, even having the correct LG/Verizon drivers. Blarg. Or do I need to flash the 11A bootstack if that is the stock firmware I am trying to get to?
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
Check out post #9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45705102 and your issue should have been asked there or here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53728658 And no, flashing another bootstack won't make a difference. It just takes time/patience to get the drivers installed correctly.
[Verizon LG G2] Tsip85:
I'd like to try this ROM out, but before I screw anything up, thought I'd ask a quick question or two. Hopefully someone will see this. I'm currently on 4.4.2 version 24A. I understand that I need the 27A bootstack and 12b bootloader (which I assume I also don't have). But I think I also read somewhere in that 380+ thread something about needing TWRP 2.7.1.0 to flash this ROM. My current recovery is 2.7.0.0. Will this work, or do I need to find a different recovery first?

Also, out of curiosity, what's the difference between this ROM and VS982.5? This will be the first time I've flashed a custom ROM on my G2 and I keep reading how great XDABBEB's roms are, but which seems to be the preferred one at the moment?

Thanks to whomever can help me out!!
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I'll try to answer in order asked.

1) your recovery should be OK (it wouldn't hurt to update first), but to explain further on comments before question; you would flash the 26a bootstack then flash 12b bootloader. Both are found in xdabbeb's vs980 resources thread. You would reboot back into recovery (from recovery), then wipe and flash rom per op instructions. The bootstack contains an updated recovery (2.8.5.1 I believe).

2) the differences between 2.3.0 and the vs982.5 rom are: 2.3 is based on 26a Verizon g2 firmware with additional features added by xdabbeb; vs982.5 is based on international g3 firmware (+ extras) modified to work specifically on Verizon's network. There are more differences, but that is the biggest difference.

3) the vs982.5 rom is the latest that has been under development. I personally prefer the vs982.5 rom. The ui alone is a huge improvement.

To be clear, both roms are great. They have a similar, but slightly different, flashing process. All the needed information will be in the op of each rom and resources thread. It would be beneficial to research bump and loki in regards to the g2.

[Verizon LG G2] Tsip85:
Thanks for the reply. I hate feeling like a NooB all over again. I used to flash ROMs every two or three days back when I had an original Droid. But I switched to a RAZR MAXX then to the G2 and everything has changed. I'm having to re-learn all over again. I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens...hopefully I don't brick my phone too many times in the process!! Think I'm going to try the 982.5 first. What would be the quickest/simplest way to flash the needed 28A bootstrap?
[Verizon LG G2] Tsip85:
OK, reading the install directions are a bit confusing to me. Do I just need to flash the 28A bootstack? Or, do I need to download the VS98028A firmware also? And, do I need to follow all the directions in the manual OTA section? Seems like a lot to do...reverting my phone to completely stock to update the firmware to 98028A, then re-root, flash his bootstack, then start on his ROM. Surely I don't need to do ALL that, right?
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. It seems every device has different rooting, flashing, etc methods anymore. Kinda spoiled with Nexus devices. Hopefully Google doesn't think it's a good idea to lock down like every manufacturer has (To be fair, a couple have developer editions and official unlocking).

Anyway,

download 28a bootstack, vs982.5 rom, art patch if using art, extras if wanted (not required).

Verify md5 of anything you plan on flashing.

Reboot to recovery

Flash 28a bootstack

Reboot recovery (you will have a bump'd recovery now)

Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system isn't required but no harm if you do. Do not wipe SD card.

Flash rom

Flash art patch if using art

Flash extras if using them.

Reboot system.

If you are using art, enable developer options, select art (it'll reboot).

Download your apps and enjoy.

[Verizon LG G2] Tsip85:
Awesome, thanks again!! Just to be clear, I can download and flash the 28A bootstrap over my existing one (24A) without reverting my phone to stock or updating the firmware? Just download those listed and flash?

And I've seen it before but have no idea what it means...what is "art?"
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Yes. No need to revert to stock. I personally have never had to flash stock g2 firmware on either g2 I maintain. Flash 28a bootstack, reboot to recovery from recovery, then wipe and flash rom. The vs982.5 rom uses 28a (or 27a) bootstack and the 2.3.0 rom uses 26a with 12b bootloader. Do not use 28a bootstack on a rom that's intended to use 24a. Rom op will (should) have bootstack, bootloader, modem, etc requirements. xdabbeb has made it pretty easy on his roms. Some other roms....well, it can get tricky.

Yes. Download, verify md5, flash per op instructions.

ART is Android run time. It was experimental in KitKat, but has replaced Dalvik runtime in lollipop. Keep in mind that xposed is not compatible with kk art (xposed for lp art is in alpha). ART is generally "smoother" and has slightly better battery life. Some apps still don't work properly on art (they work per se, but not as good as they should, which is not a fault of art, but the app developers (Facebook and Tapatalk come to mind)).
