You just need to make a nandroid and try it...asking a bunch of people that don't have your device won't tell you anything. What carrier is that? I've seen you ask about this device about 10 times now if I'm not mistaken....It may need its own boot.img it may not....I would at least go into the zip first and edit the updater script to 852g from 852....save...then flash the build and see if it works...simple enough. If it doesn't boot past the lg logo you need to find a dev willing to build for your device. If it boots...great. If it doesn't boot, restoring your backup(nandroid) is easy...just pull your battery, put it back in.... then hold power/volume down together until the lg logo appears, then let go of power while still holding vol down and then repress power again and hold both til you see the factory reset screen. Choose yes and yes and that will take you back to twrp where you can go and restore your backup...

Oh i know...i wasn't doubting that the kernel was older. I actually ran a super alpha aospa build that was never made public that used that dated kernel and both data and wifi worked...but when i flashed that fix zip (d855 to 852) i had no working wifi on 3 different 855 roms that i tried it on. SO something to do with the wifi between the 855 and 852 is a little different or something. It was bizarre because it said it was connected with excellent connection on all 3, but i couldn't even open google plus without getting the "failed to load data" error....if i turned lte on all was well....

I dont think ports are the way to go. We just need to wait for these issues to be ironed out...they will be fixed with time. Patience is key. Im just glad im not stuck on stock anymore....being able to run 5.0 ROMs is better than nothing....

In other news i should have a new Validus build for you all in the next few hours here...its building now.....Viper sound added back, status bar tweaks, among a few other features...and its a dark build....so no ugly white settings background....just patiently waiting to test it out before making it public...

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

There are also 5.0 builds of Validus and AICP available in this thread....I have asked the mod to update the OP and it hasn't been done.....brand new build dark build of Validus coming today after testing if all is well....
[G3 General] Kaldrak:
D852g is from Videotron.

You are mistaken, it's my first time asking about this phone.

I'll probably end up and try to flash it anyway. I'll keep you updated.
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
This is great man, we really appreciate that. Where are you building this from? Is the source linked in any way to the repository where other devs are working on fixes? Like the video record fix cm12 guys accomplished?
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Download new Build HERE: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473397178 [VALIDUS LOLLIPOP] [BETA 12/04] (DARK VERSION)

Re-added features include:

LCD Settings (in display settings)

Expanded desktop (in display settings)

Status bar tweaks (Network traffic, clock&date, Battery options)

System/Listview animations

Viper Sound

Dark settings UI

and maybe more that i haven't discovered yet.

If testing goes well, i may make the first official thread for our ROM. At that point i will post all the sources used etc. I will have to get all that information from my dev that's building for me. I know we are using partial CM sources and the aospa kernel....other than that, i will need to grab links from him. I will post some screenshots once I'm set up. Im not sure about the video thing, but i will also try it once im set up....

Feel free to take it for a spin and give me your feedback/thoughts...

Enjoy!

Ok, well there was another user asking about the same device over and over in the other canadian users thread on here....maybe jump in there and see if he has tried anything or made any progress...good luck!

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Getting a few Settings FC's in sound&Notifications but all features still work on the 2nd try. strange but taking a log to figure it out...

Performance controls also added back. And navbar height.....still browsing/setting up...Very very nice so far though....starting to feel like a proper DD now!!

Video is still fc after recording...tried aosp and google camera...
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Will the new validus have the cm theme engine bro?
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
LoL...no. First things first man...we need to get all the basics back....there are no cm12 themes yet anyway...I doubt we will see a theme engine in these ROMs anytime soon ...hopefully they can make cm11 themes work on cm12 eventually, but that remains to be seen...
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Screenshots of the new 5.0.1 Validus build...running beautiful...
[G3 General] RIPPER03:
Works good,flashed her up..no problems..fast and appealing to the eyes..did not solve my cellular issues.

Splash screen is wicked. Thx for your effort.
[G3 General] Tesla77:
Download Validus 12/01 and flashed a few days ago. I haven't seen a rom move so fast in awhile. Everything I use on a daily driver works flawlessly. Well done for a beta indeed.
[G3 General] Syn3rgetic:
Just posting to say rogers d852 with validus is working fine, much better than AICP. still letting her settle but yeah i like what im seeing so far.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Grab 12/04 ...Its a lot better...

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

what cellular issues are you having?
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Which gapps is most recommended for 5.0? I've only seen alpha builds from pa
[G3 General] dmeinder:
If anyone tries out a non stock Rom with working ir blaster can they please report it. Thanks
[G3 General] shahkam:
We finally got some good dev support and nice roms just wondering how long will it take before we see some custom kernels ? Is there any sort of limitation currently that does not allow devs to make one ? Curious...
[G3 General] stevesin:
Getting no service for Bell with the 1204 validus build. Weird, had no issues with aicp

Weird. A 3rd reboot fixed it.
[G3 General] johnkabou:
Hello ARIES. May I ask what camera app you are using for VALIDUS? Only issue that I have is with Video Recording (after stop recording "can't connect to the camera").

Are you using a different App? I tried and downloaded Google Cam, Camera ICS and a bunch of others but I always get the same error
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
Hey guys, i just read in another thread that one guy installed the AndroidNow HD V20D for the D855 in his D852 and it worked, no signal thou because it has the wrong modem.

I think its worth the try flashing that rom and then flashing the D852 modem!

I am at work now so i cant do anything, but do any of you guys have a flashable D852 modem link? I plan on testing this tonight...
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
I made it clear that the video camera DOES NOT WORK a few posts ago. It is Kernel related and has been fixed on some g3 devices but not ours as these builds are using a different kernel than all the others. The main thing holding us back is kernel support. As soon as we have a good stable kernel everything will get a lot better.

This 12/04 validus build is great for me as a DD but it is still VERY beta. That is why it is in this thread and doesn't have its own thread yet. I posted it here for users to play around with, and to give you an idea of what 5.0 ROMs are looking/feeling like...

After a full 24 hours running this 12/04 build these are the issues i have came across...

1. A couple random reboots that resulted in a lime green warning screen, then a black warning screen...i couldn't read the font either time and it's only happened twice...pressing power/vol down made the phone reboot and all is fine...

2. Video Camera does not work, nor do Facebook videos... (youtube and others seem to be fine)

3. Force Closes in sound/notification settings...mostly advanced settings and battery light...All settings still work but may force close once or twice..

4. You tell us...

These builds are meant for experienced users that understand that beta means things will be weird...If you are expecting perfection and no issues stay on stock or kk builds for now...Things will work themselves out over time...
[G3 General] RIPPER03:
I posted my cellular issues at the end of the other Canadian Thread..They are not related to your ROM.
[G3 General] johnkabou:
I do know what BETA means. Reason I was asking was if there was any substitute App that could do the trick and not because I did not understood.

Anyway, I remember when I had the P990 Optimus 2X and we had issue with CM9. Camcorder had the same issue. Back then we had found a (temp) solution. This solution works for LG G3 as well (already tried it with VALIDUS)

App name is VIDEOCAM ILLUSION. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidillusion.videocamillusion&hl=en)

Default res is 640x480 but you can choose whatever you like and check what the highest resolution you can use is, without issues.

At least it's something we can use until the issue is fixed. Hope I helped a little bit
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
So as ariesdroid mentioned those bugs are really present.

I could only reoccur one, notification settings fc. Here's the logcat if anyone is able to debug.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-1vhaBTqFHXWGx4UXBVbkpxZ0k/edit?usp=docslist_api

As for the black screen, its a kernel panic which you can test and see by running

#su

#echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

The thing about lg is that they actually have a crash handler, so when there's a kernel panic we get a message and it tells us what went wrong. Now for Samsung, Nexus, HTC it'll just reboot without any debugging screens.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Thanks...I will try that out...and sorry i didn't mean to cone across as a jerk or anything...I made that post for everyone reading this in general...not just you :)

Just want to give people a heads up so there are no surprises and people panicking...lol...

And that's good to know about the kernel panic...I did play with my performance settings a bit..changed to on demand...and set min freq to 1100 ish....Can anybody recommend a good setting to keep min freq at?? has anyone tried any of the other governors??

**EDIT

This kernel is WEIRD. I have tried setting my min frequency to 300, 1190 and so on just to see what happens and everytime i open performance settings its back to 1728 as a minimum by default. O_O ....Why in the world would my min frequency need to be that high?
[G3 General] johnkabou:
Do not mention it man. I wasn't offended at all :)
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
Its not, the min-max changes according to what you're doing. Its being controlled by the mp-decision hotplugging module. Try setting the min-max using Trickster Mod app and tick Lock Frequencies.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Yea i tried trickster and kernel tweaker... no matter which app my min was staying between 1190 and 1728...even lock freq in trickster didnt help.

I also realized that calls were dropping sound on the 12/04 build and i couldn't use automated menus where the dialpad was necessary. Called my carrier and lost sound 4 times in a row trying to get through the automated menus... Also lost sound a fdw times while in a call... call was still active but sound on both ends cut in and out...

needless to say im back on stock again until things get more stable... I need my phone to work..
[G3 General] androiduser9999:
2 questions

Made an account just to ask this, did anyone else notice that their model number changed to d850 (in settings - about phone)? And how would we update to new versions of the nightly, would we have to reflash?
[G3 General] karendar:
Considering there's no actual dev thread or OTA system, flashing the rom over would be the best way of upgrading
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Candy5 for the d852 will be released officially today. Posting here first. Gimme some feedback. Everything seems to work. Signal can fade in and out like every other ROM at this point. But seems really consistent for me on rogers.

Any issues with calls?? which kernel is used with this build?
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
No issues with calls or sound. Stock cm kernel.
[G3 General] pyro224:
everything works including camera and video recording?
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Camera works great. Video camera is broken on every variant so that's still broken.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Video camera was fixed by invisiblek a couple days ago... It works on a few variants that ive seen.... As for this build i get no data period and fc in data settings when trying to manually enter apn... :(

It doesnt default to Canada (english) upon boot like it should, then searches for signal (setting up cellular service) forever.. i let it sit on that screen for at least 20 min while cooking breakfast... no dice.. Im on Sasktel... and this is the exact same issue i have had on any cm 12 build ive flashed...
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Reboot a couple times
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
I did reboot twice... and still same issue... I read before that people were fixing data by rebooting...haha.. Im already back on stock though... aint nobody got time for that.. lol.. I will wait til things are working without issue...thx for your efforts though..
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Working without issue. Something is wrong with your setup.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Well maybe someone else on my carrier will come along and have the same issue... I have been flashing ROMs for 4 years and know what im doing. There cant be anything wrong with my "setup" when all i did was flash and try to "setup"... right? Like i said, each time i have flashed a 5.0 rom with the cm kernel, this happens. This is my 4th or 5th try... when that aospa kernel is used, everything works and connects within seconds upon boot. But on this kernel, it doesnt recognize my device period, and doesnt even default to Canada(english) on boot.. it stays on United States(english)... Im guessing its carrier related.. I dont understand why i get FC in data settings though... I cant even attempt to fix it.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I didn't mean your setup. I guess that was the wrong choice of words. Carrier setup, APN_configs.XML and what not.
[G3 General] Soursamo:
Tried flashing but this is saying my Rogers LG G3 is a D852g and it won't continue...
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Well i restored it and dirty flashed the rom again that time data popped up instantly... STRANGE... but then i started setting up and im still getting this weird 505 error when trying to install certain root apps... It happens with rom toolbox pro and a few others that i use daily... tried clearing data/cache on playstore, rebooting and a few other things but still no dice... I dont get how i can use the same gapps on other ROMs and all apps install without issue. I have tried latest banks and PA gapps... same issue on all gapps...
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
ROM toolbox pro has done that since 5.0 dropped. It happens on my stick nexus 9 too. Have you got these apps to work on other 5.0 builds?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

I never said it was compatible with the g. I really don't see you guys getting ROMs any time soon.
[G3 General] Soursamo:
But im not on 852g, Rogers 852 currebtly running the other AICP rom?
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Did you factory reset before flashing. Try manually wiping system in twrp before flashing.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Yea, all the apps that dont work have installed fine on aicp and validus... and that very first aospa build i flashed .. its only the cm builds that dont work...

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

This might be a dumb question, but is it possible to make this cm kernel into a flashable zip?? Id love to flash it over my Validus nandroid and see if it fixes call sound...
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Take it out of the zip
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Ive never done stuff like that... what would i have to grab and how do i make it flashable??

or is it just a bad idea? lol
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Extract both ROMs zips and move the candy kernel to the other ROM folder. Zip it back up. I use the PA defconfig for this kernel its just cm source is more up to date. So I don't see this making a difference anyways.
[G3 General] Soursamo:
Tried before without it, just did a full wipe and get the same error.

Went back to cloudy, here is a shot showing my model number
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Go to advanced wipe in twrp and manually wipe system, data, cache. Also retry a download. I have a rogers d852 and it flashes fine.
[G3 General] Soursamo:
Advance wiped, no luck.

Redownloaded and copied over, advanced wipe, same thing.

Dunno!
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
This Candy 5 release is the BEST so far, hands down...

First time my LG G3 is faster thatn my old Nexus 5, cant wait for nightlies.

Will you guys create a thread for that????
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Yes there will be a thread shortly. Found a video camera fix so want to wait for that to finish and test before I go official. We don't do night lies but weeklies for sure. Thank you for the positives feedback. Its nice not to just here all the problems lol. Its very good for a beta if I do say so myself.
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
Lol, i imagine it can be frustrating!

Yes this is GREAT for a beta, i am sure this one will have a bright future...

Keep up the good work and thanks for helping us!
[G3 General] androiduser9999:
Anyone have this problem? Cannot receive incoming calls (phone app crashes when they attempt to call) and my model number in about phone is d850 when i know i am a d852. Cm12 btw.
[G3 General] y2whisper:
You can ignore the d850. Rom was likely a port from the d850 or from source and that build prop entry wasn't changed
[G3 General] topscorer17:
Anyone know if streaming from Google play music works in this ROM? haven't been able to get it working in any lollipop ROM so far.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Dude there are like 10 roms posted on this thread. You need to be specific
[G3 General] topscorer17:
Sorry, i was referring to the recent Candy ROM.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Than yes, it works fine for me. I don't have all access but music I uploaded streams fine.
[G3 General] topscorer17:
Awesome, decided to give it a try, no problems what so ever other then launcher3 crashing. installed a different launcher and the problem went away. Most complete Lollipop Rom I've used, thanks!
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I fixed the video camera but broke ril [emoji22] This device has been a nightmare to develop for.
[G3 General] luizffgarcia:
Don't give up man! You are our best hope of getting this damn D852 variant to run properly :D
[G3 General] stevesin:
Is YouTube working on candy5? Gonna check it out when I get home. Thanks Cuzz1369
[G3 General] topscorer17:
Youtube is working fine for me with this ROM.
[G3 General] karendar:
Installed Candy 5 yesterday by sheer curiosity... Works surprisingly well. Came across two annoyances though:

I can't install unknown source apps. Can't click "install" button...

SuperSU toast notifications are totally unclickable either.

Weird bugs to be honest... But stops me from using this ROM for now. Clean installed as well, so you know it's not a bug I transferred over from the other ROM. ;)

Thanks for the effort though, glad to see Lollipop on this device!
[G3 General] timmytim:
You broke ril again! lol, anything I can help with?
[G3 General] y2whisper:
Thanks for the efforts. So far the rom has been quite good.. Some wonkyness with cell signal Bluetooth calling works just some freak outs with volume level going crazy high after notifications. Putting the notifications on vibrate fixes that (was listening to music in the car so don't really need to have notifications coming through the speaker.)

Hopefully you can figure the video recording problem.

Again thanks for the effort. It's stuff like this that make me miss Nexus... But that price though...
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I don't have either of those issues
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Good news, smart case screen off/on will work on the next release of candy5 for the d852. NOT circle apps yet. Just sleep and wake.
[G3 General] Helloworld294:
So a random app was crashing and I thought fixing permissions through twrp would fix that but instead it drove me into a bootloop.. What could be the problem and how can I fix that?

New Validus Test Build

Whats up guys? Here's a new test build of Validus Lollipop for the d852. We re-based to Slim now and everything is great! So far everything that wasn't working before is working. Video Camera is now working, No more FC's, Prox sensor works properly during calls, Data and wifi are both strong and working and so on....Take it for a spin and please take logs and post them here if you find anything wrong.

Download the build here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22485

I am using the 12/10 baNKs gapps and all is well. All apps installed without issue....

Enjoy!
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
No d852 files in that link.
[G3 General] karendar:
I second this: Wrong link
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Link is fixed...not sure what happened...lol...all good now...I was half asleep last night when i posted...
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I am curious to know how the fixed proximity sensor on calls?
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
I'm not sure...might have just been a cm thing...The ROM is totally re-based to slim now...and he used the cm kernel, but the d855 deconfig with it...

The overall speed of this ROM is nutty...this is hands down the best my g3 has ever ran...very pleased...
[G3 General] karendar:
Thanks, gonna try this out whenever I have a chance... I just wish they'd release the LG stock ROM so we can pull out the radio changes.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
Radio is fine on candy5 just the prox sensor needs some help.
[G3 General] crzygrmn:
Gonna go ahead and dirty flash. And will post results for anybody who has old validus from a week ago .

Edit: OK dirty flashed over old validus lp just a bunch fc's

Clean flashed validus lp. Works fine and its fast. Just signal keeps dropping, and its not usable to make any long lasting calls, I even tried 4g 3g lte . but even with full reception it just drops to nothing.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
...

Yea the radio's and modem are great on validus now as well.... As for Prox sensor, I just flashed a test build of AOSPA as well for the dev, and prox sensor is fixed on his build as well.....Try rebuilding now with the new updates Cuzz....should be fixed.....Or try what i said about the d855 deconfig/cm kernel.....but the aospa one should work as well now....
[G3 General] karendar:
By experience, on other devices/ROMs, whenever a version bump occurs, you're better off having latest radio if any specific improvements to signal/battery usage are included... And also, there's still a potential of errors which aren't perceptible to us by using an older radio with a new build.

Even though I know it works, I'd rather have everything Lollipop build level just to be on par... EXCEPT bootloader. ;) haha.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
I agree with wanting the latest but the old work "alright" for now. And at this time I am more concerned about the things that are completely broken.
