Something with this ROM is ****ing up (can't remember if cussing is allowed here, I'll edit if not) extSDs guys. I ended up booting into TWRP and copying the new music I put on my extSD this morning to my internal storage, and then just booting without the extSD. No big deal I don't have all my music today, as I'm trying to go through the masses of what I have downloaded anyways. Well, once I started listening somehow sections of completely unrelated songs have gotten written over sections of the songs I'd copied to my extSD this morning, and now have on my internal. I'm listening to the first song on Sun Electric's Kitchen and then 45 seconds in, bam ****ing B.O.B. of all artists. Happens on the next song too. Turns out, it's happening on every song in all five folders. I don't even have the songs it's playing sections of in the middle, on my internal, they're all on my external. So I go back to TWRP, delete all the new folders I've copied over this morning, and now it still won't boot right which I'm assuming means my extSD has somehow been corrupted again.

I had issues w extSD SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC on my G3 back in November, used this method and have not had issues since. Hope it helps if you want to try, or may want to send it to manufacturer for replacement. I had a SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDXC that had issues in my wife's Note II, I sent it to Sandisk and they replaced it under warranty, took 2-3weeks but now have a working one again. (I have only ran stock and BarRin v4/6 since i got the phone and have not had reboots, not once. Thanks engine95! I have not tried any AOSP roms yet)
[Sprint LG G3] savannahmick:
Hey just need a little info before I flash ROM . Thanks!

I have been using Candy 5 newest version but not really digging the lack of my old features on stock LG ROM. Please tell me what I need to do before I flash ROM. I never ran the ota from Sprint that I kept seeing in notifications before I flashed the Candy 5 ROM. I only rooted and flashed the TWRP 2.8.3.0. Do I need to flash a different/older version first of BarRin or anything else? I am sorry for the noob question but just want to get my camera, IR remote, and etc back also i hear good things about this Rom. Thanks for any advice!
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Ok.....

Try what [MENTION=5203705]Valsorim[/MENTION] suggested above me, or you've got some options.

If you think your SD card is good then try it running Stock Rom. Either ZV6 or ZV4 it doesn't matter. See if your card still messes up.

If it still doesn't work then it's your phone or the SD Card.

You're the only one I've heard of with this persistent issue. Everyone here has been trying to help you and give you options. But you seem to think your SD card is good even though when you pull it, everything works fine. I don't know what else to tell you.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Nothing special. Just make a backup in TWRP before doing anything.

This post explains what/how to install. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58001854&postcount=665

You need to install V2 first because it includes the kernel and ZV6 modem/radio. The other updates are at your discretion.
[Sprint LG G3] savannahmick:
So I need to flash v2 then flash newest version over it? Thanks! I will give it a go here in a few!
[Sprint LG G3] nohart:
The ap from the Google Play store SD Insight, retrieves information about flash memory storage from the controller chip it does not "test" the card. If the controller chip is a digitally altered one, it has been reprogrammed to lie! Some of these cards will report false info. Just because it comes back with info does not make your card legit. So if the controller chip has been re-programmed with this info the SD Card will show this info but it will not be reliable. The only way to actually tell if the card is the rated size is to actually test it. That is what H2testw does. You came on here with problems and I tried to help you but with your ungrateful attitude you deserve all the problems you have. What you give out in this world comes back to you. If you want to really test your card use H2testw it is considered the Gold Standard right now and it takes time to run depending on the size of the card. There is also another program called FakeFlashTest.exe it is not as thorough but it is faster.
[Sprint LG G3] murkstylez:
This is odd just restored back to 2.3 and got this 10 mins later. Shoud i install never saw this while rooted b4
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
like this if you are looking to be most current

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

did your backup include the modem? might be why?
[Sprint LG G3] murkstylez:
I believe so i came off vanir i am going to try wipe then restore did not do that upon restore i always back up everything
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
i havent tried any AOSP roms yet but when I do i think i'm going to use a different microSD card for each-one for AOSP and one for stock/LG. When I had my EvoLTE and currently on my Nexus 7 every time I flash a new rom I wipe everything including internal and data format in twrp, kept everything on microSD/OTG. And i never had issues that i've been reading about. I havent wiped internal and data format on the G3 yet, and reluctant to do so bc of what i read in OP's. Had some issues on LG OG that I rooted was daughters old phone.

Are these leftovers the ghosts in the machines? lol
[Sprint LG G3] murkstylez:
Lol i do not know I've tried just about every rom for the g3 but this is the first time I've seen this i wiped and restored and its back I always come back to barrin it is by far the best for this phone in my opinion a little rattled though with this update popping up
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Well that peaked my interest.

At first I thought it was the data optimizer update. But that's been removed.

I have no idea what that is. Never seen it before.

Are you running v2.3.1? Or v2.3? Just to make sure.

Don't install it! Just to be safe.
[Sprint LG G3] murkstylez:
Just 2.3 I'm gonna wipe and reinstall maybe i screwed something up in my flash happy ways
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
in notification pulldown, if you press and hold the update, it will open up an app (something like google services), untick the notifications, and shouldn't be getting update reminder anymore. Or at least until you come back from another rom (unless you make a new backup, of course)
[Sprint LG G3] TravisH997:
I really didn't mean it in the way you seem to have taken it. I've tried all the options except doing the intensive test on my extSD, and the formatting info about formatting fat32 twice with 32k cluster sizes. I was just frustrated, I never meant it in a way blaming you or anyone else for the problem. More just a "wtf, why is this happening way"

The thing is, I've had this card for about 1.5-2 years now, on three separate phones, formatted multiple multiple times. I don't see how it could be anything besides the phone or ROM, and the issues weren't present until this ROM was flashed. Given, I wasn't on stock for more than a couple days. Again, I'm not placing blame or frustrated with you or anyone else, I'm simply frustrated at the situation at hand and doing everything I can to fix it. I posted everything that led to this failing today in the hopes of shedding more light on the situation, and maybe that wasn't good when in the state of mind I was in. Is there a chance that the issues could be coming from doing multiple quick formats and not doing a full format in a very long time? If somehow old blocks of data that were "deleted" but still there, are superimposing on the actual data? I know how data storage works for the most part, but have no idea if this is possible.

Ah I see. I was not aware of that (although I should have guessed it possible) thus when I saw your comment it struck me the wrong way. I do apologize for my comment, I was not in any way being ungrateful, simply ignorant.
[Sprint LG G3] fgcchevy:
Anyone confirm hotspot working on this newest beta? Tia
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
It's working for me I use The ,DUN method

[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] just flashed beta lastnight

So far so good will give more info on how things are running SAT/SUN I can confirm slight internet connection improvement,
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
fstrim is a terminal command, part of busybox if its been compiled with it.

There is an app on play store to run the command for /system and /data, but that's it.

in terminal

fstrim -v <mountpoint>

Here's my version of busybox

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

If the files are replaceable, or backed up. I would zero the sdcard then partition and format.

If sdcard is going to stay in phone then I would use ext4 file system.

To zero card

Windows. download do a low level format

http://www.flashdrive-repair.com/2014/03/10-best-memory-card-format-software.html?m=1

Linux/Android

in terminal

be very carefull!!! These commands can zero everything

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

Android

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1

where sdX is your sd device. It will zero out you sd card so you can start over

This will zero everything, you will have to partition. Then format.
[Sprint LG G3] TravisH997:
So do you think it's possible that old blocks of data somehow "stayed" and were superimposed on the new data, corrupting the files?
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
I'd say hi lee possible with all the different mount to the same files and been a fat 32 or exfat, also mtp plus all of androids new securities.

Best to start out as clean as possible.
[Sprint LG G3] thznutz87:
I put that guide up, thanks for the plug! My girls phone has an issue with that method, hotspot just stopped giving data on this ROM. If that issue comes up for you post t to the thread and we will figure it out. Goes for anyone using the ,dun method.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Are you using 2.3.1 beta? Or an earlier version? Just so I know.
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
Yeah because it worked for me on every version now on beta, I say this again I might be crazy but I don't have a computer right now, for the time of having the g3 I have not had any problems with me or my wife's she on 2.3 while I test the beta. 16g SD card could be another factor, but everything I've done on this phone has worked. Flashed different roms, themes flashed, modules, flashed kernel, no issues to actually complain about, one twrp restore and that was my error, that's a lot for the simple question, just curious?
[Sprint LG G3] scottspa74:
I hear ya. I hear all these problems, and yet I never experience any of them. (Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). And it makes me realize, in the 7yrs I've been in Xda, somehow, I don't get all the crazy I see others report.

I still think it's good practice to pull ext SD before flashing anything. That said, last few flashes of carbon 4.4.4 and back to barrin, still no issue.
[Sprint LG G3] MasterScat:
May I ask what you use for hotspot with this rom?

Please disregard my question. I googled DUN method and found the thread in Sprint G3 General.
[Sprint LG G3] Krayzie101:
Testing 2.3.1

So far, so good. I can confirm WiFi hotspot is working with WiFi Tether app. I used flashify to flash the zip over 2.3. I did wipe dalvick and cache.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Which WiFi Tether app is that? Thanks.
[Sprint LG G3] slyest12:
Does anyone know of a bypass method for Exchange on this ROM? Some of the AOSP roms have this but I can't find anything for this one.
[Sprint LG G3] Krayzie101:
WiFi App

To I use WiFi Tether Router from the play store. Works perfectly and always has since I've been rooted.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Do you mean a way to bypass Exchange requiring a pin lock and/or encryption? There are a couple of Xposed modules that do that, but there's nothing built in to this ROM. Search this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541
[Sprint LG G3] adamdelozier:
Trying to use the Optimum app. Installed irdeto fix xposed module, but still doesn't work right. Not sure what to modify in the build.prop too make it seem like it's a stock phone.
[Sprint LG G3] slyest12:
That's what I'm looking for. The few Xposed modules are either Nexus devices or AOSP only, and I don't feel like any extra work right now ?. No biggie, I don't mind not being able to check my work email easily.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I've never had issues with either of the exchange emails I have.

On CM/AOSP Roms though I had to manually make it accept "any" certificate and then it would work.

I know there is another workaround for it, I just can't remember where.

TWRP Backup

Does somebody can made backup on latest BarRin_2.3.1_beta???:eek:
[Sprint LG G3] seanskiT!:
Huh?
[Sprint LG G3] lim-popo:
I have always same issue... Something like: Can't create E:\0\media\TWRP.... bla,bla,bla...

Does I'm only one so special person, or this is an issue of BarRin_2.3.1_beta update???
[Sprint LG G3] roc342:
I running 2.3.1 great without Concierge/Weather

Is there anyway to add it now? Or do I have to start over go to version 1 all the Back up to 2.3.1 with Concierge/Weather V1 to V2 installed.

I just want to lockscreen weather animations. Is there any other way to achieve that.
[Sprint LG G3] tourbound129:
I was able to make a nandroid in TWRP 2.8.2.0 for the beta just fine.
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
Did you keep your nandroid of the 2.2 you may have some may start backing up the beta version, and if anything goes wrong they will have a clean version and not have to start fresh.
[Sprint LG G3] tourbound129:
I keep quite a few nandroids on hand. I have 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Maybe try pointing TWRP to Internal sd and see if that works. If so, Then it's your card

You don't have to flash from V1 at all.

To add Concierge now, you MIGHT be able to dirty flash it, then 2.3, then the beta.

If not then clean flash V2, Concierge, v2.3 then beta if you want.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
I have a quick question. I installed ver 1 a few weeks ago. I have since tried a lollipop rom but they have too many issues, so I would like to go back to bar rin can I flash ver D2, then flash to the current version, which is 2.3 or do I need to flash every update to get to 2.3. Or could I just flash 2.3 altogether?? I'm a little confused about this. Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Yup. Flash v2, then v2.3, it's has everything since v2, then the beta if you want.

I'm probably going to do away with the updates, as they seem to confuse people.

I just thought small updates would be easier for everyone to dl instead of full Roms.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
This may be a stupid question but I do a full wipe for each version then? I did a full wipe for v2,then another wipe for v3 but on v3,it got stick in a bootloop.
[Sprint LG G3] nohart:
If you have an SD card installed a suggestion would be to remove it when installing the rom
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Does this rom do something with the card? Just wondering because of all the flashes I've done I've never removed the card. If it does, it's good to know and I will remove it. Do you know if I have to do a full wipe between v1 to v2 to v3 to v3.2beta? I know normally is recommended to do a full wipe but if some are just updates, then it can be dirty flashed then?
[Sprint LG G3] nohart:
On the first install do a full wipe per the original post then if no problems it's OK to dirty flash the others
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
OK, so I'm already on v1 and is all setup the way I like it. Just to verify, I can just dirty flash all the other versions then? Thanks for the feedback.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
If you like V1 then I guess you can dirty flash to V2 and up. Read the OP, post #1 and #2 for the extras. But.....

In V2 I removed Concierge and a lot of other Sprint/LG apps. If you dirty flash then all those apps I removed will be left behind. And I don't support anything with Concierger since I removed it early on.

So you would need to clean flash V2, start fresh, then dirty flash v2.3 and dirty flash the beta if you want.. The scripts will wipe and remove thing already so you don't have to worry.

As for the SD Card, this has been an LG issue since ZV4. I've had a fix for it in all the Rom's I've done. But now with all the ROM choices we have now, there are "Ghosts in the machine" that MAY mess up an SD still. But the issue you've been having is unrelated to what most people have. We'll just leave it at that.
[Sprint LG G3] TravisH997:
engine95, I don't think removing the small updates because of people being confused is the solution. I for one also wondered if I needed to install v2, then 2.1, 2.2 etc. However, I think the confusion would be mitigated by a note above the update section saying something to the tune of "install v2 first, then after you may dirty flash to the latest update, or whichever update you'd like. No need to install all updates as each update has the changes from all previous..."
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
I was missing around and found zipalign binary not working it is a dynamically linked file, I don't know which lib its missing. So I decided to compile statically but that didn't work out to well. At some point I will get NDK to work on my phone.

Well I goggled and found teamwin had compiled one.

https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/utilities/zipalign/
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Ummmm in the OP with each update, it already says everything you have above.

I tried to make it as clear as I could. :)

I'm not quite sure what you're saying?

Zipalign is installed and working on this ROM. Just look in /data. You'll see ziplign.log and .db.
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] in terminal run zipalign and you should see the error

sh-4.3# zipalign
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android10VectorImpl19reservedVectorImpl6Ev" referenced by "zipalign"...
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Gotcha. I'll look into it.

V3 is in the works just so everyone knows.

SuperSU and Google are killing me though. I'm blaming it all on "L". And the same crap with LG. Lol
[Sprint LG G3] nohart:
TWRP V2.8.4.0 is up!
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
I had my first random reboot yesterday, and since then, I'm constantly getting the sd card unmounted messages.

So I just copied everything over from the card onto my hard drive and tried to format. Quick Format failed. Now I'm trying a regular format. I see why they call the other one quick.

Update: seat of my pants meter says we're running as good as ever. No sd card notifications. The one thing I haven't done that's set it off in the past is to start saving pictures to the sd card. Nervous about that.
[Sprint LG G3] israphil622:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] or the rest of you Stooges, forgive me if this isn't the proper place for this but i haven't been able to find a solution to get sprintzone back on my phone. Can you point me in the right direction?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
The only ways I can think of are....

You'd have to run the stock ROM.

Or

You might be able to pull it from the stock rom. It's been too long now for me to remember if it has any other apps/files attached with it.
[Sprint LG G3] israphil622:
Thanks anyway. On my lgog i had pretty good success with an app i think spleef posted. Not so easy on the g3. I'm lovin barrin too much to go back to stock. The hunt continues. Btw, i do see noticeable improvements with 2.3.1. Sprint Activated a tower in my area last summer and i would still struggle for 2 bars until i flashed the bets a couple days ago.
[Sprint LG G3] RedNak71:
So for those of you on 2.3.1, how are you liking it? I'm on 2.3 and everything is working great. Would you recommend the upgrade and what's the best part of it?
[Sprint LG G3] edisepic:
there isnt any major changes, but the data switching is better and im finding more LTE areas. nothing is broken so i recommend updating it
[Sprint LG G3] RedNak71:
Well. I did it and its equally as awesome. Thanks again guys. Great work.
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
FM radio is a plus don't listen to it too much, but I like to hear new songs and add them to my spotify. Everything works and the LTE connection is better.
[Sprint LG G3] roc342:
Agreed, Been rocking since released and everything still works. 2.3.1. is great. Now I just waiting for the next release. Thanks for the work engine95
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
Something that I hope isn't ROM related. While on wifi calling for the last six hours at home, I've missed at least three calls. I only know that I missed them because I hear the voicemail notification.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I don't think it is. It's been a while for me, actually before we got unlocked, but I noticed mine would fade in and out. That's the only way I can explain it.

I haven't used it much since so I'm not sure what to tell you.

I did make a thread back in October about wifi calling while out of country. Maybe there is something in there. I think it's in General.
[Sprint LG G3] fgcchevy:
I figured out why my swipe up to screenshot wasn't working. It was an app I had installed called keyplus, latest update fixed the bug.

encryption

So I guess I screwed myself this morning when, on a whim, I decided to encrypt my phone. Now when I try to pull up the keyboard to enter my pin, I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." Does ANYONE have an idea for how i can solve this problem?
[Sprint LG G3] RedNak71:
Well maybe boot into recovery and wipe everything and install fresh...if you had a Titanium backup before you did that it should bring back all your previous preferences.
[Sprint LG G3] MadDucker:
Picture Editor

I happen to like the stock picture editor for the G3 but it's removed from Barin.

Does anyone know how to get it back, perhaps a flashable zip or apk?

Someone asked earlier and this thread and there was no reply.

Thanks for your time, awesome rom.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
You should be able to extract the apk from a stock ROM, such as the one in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-zv6-base-odex-deodex-t2949087

What I don't know is if there are any additional files that are necessary for it to run, but you can try just extracting and installing the apk.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Actually, I forgot about that.

I think it is an apk as meyerweb said above. I don't think it had any others attached with it and I don't remember what it's called ATM. I'll have to look.
[Sprint LG G3] MadDucker:
After downloading and searching through the stock rom I cam to realize that the LG G3 picture editing app is actually handled by Google+.

So, install Google+ to get it back if anyone else is interested.

Thanks for the responses.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
That is one of the options on stock ROM. But if you want the LG version.....

It's been too long now for me to remember for sure, and since you have DL the stock ROM.

There's only 2 files I can find off-hand. LGVidClip.apk MIGHT be the apk

There is another file in /system/cust/overlay/app/com.android.gallery3d.apk

These are the only 2 I could find that may give you another option. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.
[Sprint LG G3] too758:
Yeah. I had to format internal and wipe the re install everything. Luckily i put my phone on a weekly titanium backup so I didn't lose much.
[Sprint LG G3] RedNak71:
Hey engine, question for you, would Xcam work with this rom since its stock based?? It would make the default lg camera better anyway.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
That's the one I use. I think I recommended it in the Barren thread, but forgot in this one.

I can't include it because the Dev request it not be built in. Also, there is a paid version of it, for another.

Edit: It doesn't replace the stock camera. Its, it's own app.
[Sprint LG G3] patrick73csun:
I had your romance installed. It was great, I lost my backup somehow. I redownloaded it yesterday installed it without issues. When my apps were reloading, it stopped and said I didn't have enough space to install more apps. I had over 6 gig's free on my internal and 5 gigs free on my external SD card. What gives. I tried a lot of the fixes I read about to no avail. I had to give up on the rom temporarily because I couldn't even install xposed framework. Please help...
