No worries, and thank you for the kind words. Either should work, but some people seemed to be confused that there was an option last time. Since 28A became official I just updated the directions to make it easier. It's the one I've been using.

And for the dirty flashers (ha)...yes this is one of those circumstances that will lead to problems.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
WiFi is working here. I also did not dirty flash , but you do have to re-enter your WiFi password.
[Verizon LG G2] TEXASMADE1978:
Definitely no need for the TY to me for the kind words cause you deserved them for all the hard work you put in. And yes sir they both work just fine. You are a Beast in the best sense of the word. Oh and thanks for the quick reply
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
Here's how I dirty flashed:

1) Clean wipe system, data, cache, dalvik-cache

2) Install 28A bootstack from XDABBEB's resource thread stickied at top of Verizon G2 Android Dev forum (came from 12B)

3) Reboot back to recovery

4) Install VS982.5 v1.2.0 and "My Patch"

5) Reboot "system" to load rom for first time

6) Get through standard new phone setup including WiFi connection

7) Reboot back to recovery via hardware button or specialized app (Flashify is what I use)

8) Restore "DATA" partition from VS982.5 v1.1.0 nandroid backup

9) Reboot "system" to reload rom (since it uses ART, may take 5 min to load old apps)

No problem for me :D

Do we need to uninstall the previous XCam updates that were available with v1.10 release when we install v1.20?
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
The newer XCAM comes with 1.2
[Verizon LG G2] heymoe:
If you ran Dalvik on v1.1.0, the updated XCAM apk in the OP (for v1.1.0) was v6.1.2. I think the ART one was v5.4.0. Those XCAM apks have been removed from the OP for v1.2.0 thus me wondering if the XCAM apk updates from v1.1.0 may contain a bug or something that was corrected with the XCAM provided with the v1.2.0 rom since those updated XCAM apks were specifically for this rom..

If those updated XCAM apks do contain a flaw that were fixed in v1.2.0, people running ART might be OK the new system XCAM apk is the same version as the ART updated apk from v1.1.0 so Android would likely use the system one but if you run Dalvik, the updated apk from v1.1.0 is a major version higher than the XCAM included with the v1.2.0 rom so Android will use the updated apk which may or may not have a bug that is now fixed.

It's also possible that I'm just over thinking this whole thing

Running this on 29a bootstack and having a tough time locking in 4G like when I was on v1 and 26a

It keeps connecting to 3G... Not 4G.

Anyone else having that issue?
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
You are mistaken. XCam 5.4 is what comes with this ROM regardless if we run Dalvik or ART. If you run Dalvik and want the latest XCam, you need to get it from that thread. The only difference in the XCam apk that was separately provided with v1.1.0 was the ui, which was fixed in v1.2.0

What 29a bootstack? This ROM won't work with 39a, if that's what you mean. 27a or 28a only.
[Verizon LG G2] edwards6246:
I installed this 3 days ago and everything works fine untill i leave my house. When i'm home, I can send texts and recieve them and everything, but as soon as i leave my house and get connected to 4g or H+ i cannot send texts I can recieve them but I cannot send them. any idea on a fix? i've searched and searched I just cant find what I'm looking for. Thank you in advanced.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
1.2 was released yesterday. Either way, I've had no issues texting (or calls) with dalvik, art, 1x, 3g, 4g, or roaming.

If you're using art, don't forget to flash the ART patch or if returning to dalvik from art, to flash the revert patch.

Maybe it was the other one I started to install but couldnt get working I did do an upgrade to this one late lastnight I believe (i've flashed so many I loose track) But i know i'm on this one right now., but either way the other rom I was running which was an earlier iteration of this I still had the same issue, My apn is accurate and I've tried kdzing back to stock and starting over 30 times I swear, and I've tried the TOT method a hand full of times to get the texting to work, and I cant think of anything to fix it.

*EDIT* I'm on dalvik and have never used ART.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Sounds like you're trying to hard! Jk

If you're on 28a bootstack, clean flash, messaging should work with no adjustments what so ever. I used three different messaging apps (stock, hangouts, and evolve) and never had a problem.

I've tried a clean flash about 4 times. And If I'm not mistaken for you gotta be on a 28a bootstack any way? maybe if i just throw it, it will work..lol

I'm not trying to hard I'm determined :D

yup my bad 28a bootstack! its having trouble locking in 4G now. do i need to upgrade my radios or something?

[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
H+ isn't Verizon. This rom was designed, I believe, specifically for Verizon users. Maybe try one of the other G3 roms.

[Verizon LG G2] edwards6246:
only problem with that is every other rom i've tried I end up getting no signal to my phone either verizon or tmobile.

is there ablock on verizon phones with the 4.4.x roms? when trying to use alternate carriers?:confused:
[Verizon LG G2] tholmes8291:
If you're not sure which bootstack you're on go ahead and flash it. Won't hurt anything. My experience is that the ROM will run on 39A but won't hold 4G. Be sure to reboot to recovery after flashing then reboot system.

Radios are included with the bootstack
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Maybe a failing sim card? Doesn't sound right.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
No reason to update; 28a has the latest of everything we need for this ROM. Does it have locking issues on 4G everywhere? I have issues at my house sometimes (since VZW upgraded to XLTE) but a mile away it's great.
[Verizon LG G2] edwards6246:
I thought maybe a failing sim, but when I put it into my Verizon variant G3 it works 100% mms, sms, web, phone anything I want. Its just the G2.
[Verizon LG G2] UrbanBounca:
I've been using 1.2.0 since about 10 minutes after release, and I haven't had a single issue on Dalvik, clean flash. Since the demise of crDroid, this has easily been my go to. Hell, even when crDroid was around, this was my go to because GPS worked every single time.
[Verizon LG G2] shahsmerdis:
Hi there,

I didn't see a Q/A thread for this ROM in the Q/A section, but does anyone notice that sometimes the recent apps don't show up properly? I'll have to hit the home screen a few times then the recent apps menu to actually see the recent apps.

Other than that I feel like I have a new phone :) I see no reason upgrading my phone after putting this rom on it.

Thanks for your work!

So I found a bug. Whats the best android logger app to use? I have CatLog installed but cant find how to save/export the log file.

Here's the bug. In the browser, when I'm at a site that has a video that plays in the stock browser video player, like it opens a new window to play the video (not youtube or anything like that). When I click on the video, the whole browser force closes. I use to be on xdabbeb's 2.3.0 rom with stock browser and never had this problem, same site, same videos.

And then once I get a good log app, do I just let it run in the background and recreate the instance of the error and then the log app will record the whole event right? Then just export and post here?

Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I'd recommend syslog.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog

Reboot, recreate error with as few steps as you can, open syslog, tap take log.

Syslog will immediately ask you to send/share logs or you can go sdcard/syslog folder and choose log(s). The modem log may contain your imei and phone number so I wouldn't share publicly.

Don't forget to list steps to recreate error.

First of, thanks of putting together a great rom. I am using this on Vs980 running on ATT network.

So far, I have no complaints , haven't found any major bugs or inconsistencies. Battery life is amazing. :confused::confused: I got 14 hrs of stand by time with over 4:45 hours of SOT. WTF ? :laugh:

I have 6 email accounts and almost countless push notification services going on. I have also set brightness to zero with auto brightness on.

Ps: If you are using Vs980 on GSM network, do not, I repeat do not touch HD calling functionality. I learned that hard way.

Hello guys,

[Verizon LG G2] protfire:
this rom

So this rom is really a g2 rom with a few g3 apps?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I didn't use the extras zip, nor do I use any of the LG apps so I don't know about that. I do know I prefer this rom over any other, including lollipop. With G3 Tweekbox it looks nicer and performs better and it's stable as hell!
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Its like cloudyfa's g3 port but better, and optimized for our device, so MMS work on stock messenger, no roaming signal ect.
[Verizon LG G2] protfire:
But it is missing some apps. The gallery locking app for one. The lg smart card and a few others. Just think it needs to be stated that this is not a g3 rom.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
I don't think it was ever stated it was an G3 ROM, it has some parts of it. For the apps you listed, have you checked the LG zip in the OP?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
It's not missing any apps, as it has precisely what I intended. It's not a straight G2 or G3 firmware, nor is any claim made as such so I don't need to state anything. It contains code from many sources (including my own). I don't know what you're after, but I know it has nothing to do with development so please take it elsewhere, thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] mrdunn:
Well, I tried a number of Lollipop ROMS including stock, and although I really liked some of the features, such as the notifications, the battery life really sucked for me on my Verizon LG G2. Back to this ROM, great battery life again, no more problems. Thanks again, xdabbeb.
[Verizon LG G2] Xer0 WindKey:
Man I wish 39A worked like this ROM, this ROM was/is the pinnacle of sweet greatness for the VS980. :D
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Thanks, guys. Though I'm still running this 90% of the time, I have a 39A-based fw that I've been using for the past few months while I tested the camera, etc. I've added just about everything from this fw to it, so feature-wise it's about the same...just the usual KK vs LP stuff. I haven't spent as much time on the kernel as I did here, but it's still running a lot better than stock 39a. Give me a week or so to tidy/package it all up and I'll post it in the VS980 fw thread (where it belongs).
[Verizon LG G2] mrdunn:
Wow!! Thanks and I just flashed your My Patch zip and saw it had the L-type navigation bars too. I am looking forward to your new ROM, and I know it will be great also.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
?This, exactly! Same here. But I found it was more than the battery. This rom just has so much to offer beyond even aosp. I'm just stuck (in a very good way) with xdabbeb! ??
[Verizon LG G2] lash444:
This rom does seem to be very nice. My only issue is that I notice when I am tethering that I have very high latency spikes.

Connect with this rom, and a rom like the newer blisspop. Then open a command window and ping google.

On Blisspop I get < 120ms every time. Most of the time its around 55ms.

With this rom, I get spikes into the 200s, and sometimes into the 400s.

I have shut down as many apps as possible thinking it may be one of those. No dice. Other than that, I really do like this rom. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix that?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Try changing your governor to performance while tethering. You can also try changing the tcp cong back to the default (bic, I believe).
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I'm seeing normal (<120ms) latency on device and on tethered devices. I'm assuming you're using wifi ap. I did not test wired and bluetooth tethering latency.

On G2On Nexus 7 tethered to G2

Tested latency on interactive.

[Verizon LG G2] lash444:
I am using wired tethering. I don't use wifi AP.

I set it to what I use in blisspop. Cubic and noop. Tasker gave me fits with latency, so I always try to remove as much as possible in terms of apps before I complain, but I have tried everything I can with no luck. I will try bic and performance once I get home.

I believe I tried it on your 2.3.0 build with no luck either, but I loaded that one up just this morning to see what I can find. Thanks for the advice/looking into this.

On cubic/noop/performance I was using "PingTools" from the app store. Doing a ping test to google I just had a hiccup that gave me a 354ms ping. Currently have 104-106dbm signal. I test all the time at my current location. Never get anything over about 120ms.

Other roms are using 12b bootloader/modem/bootstack.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Do a larger sample. 4 pings isn't enough. Watch it for 40 pings or so. I can go 10 pings in a row sub 100ms, but then i get spurts where it hits much higher.
[Verizon LG G2] sdube3:
I've been on this amazing Rom for months now with no issues until now. Recently, I my phone will no longer connect to 4G, instead getting stuck in 3G. Initial install was a clean flash. I haven't modified anything since initial install. I replaced my SIM card yesterday just to be sure, but that didn't help. Any thoughts on if this is ROM related?
[Verizon LG G2] lash444:
So in order to test whether or not its specific LTE bands that are causing my ping issues, I have tried to find where I can set the LTE band on different firmwares. On this rom, when i go into the hiddenmenu's I don't see anything in there that looks like I can configure those settings.

Some roms its easy. Some roms it isn't. I believe that LTE 13 has a better ping for me than LTE 4. Anyway someone can tell me how to see and preferably select bands to test my hypothesis?

So I did THIS yesterday: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60978635&postcount=8

I really don't want to go through that again, and now I need to update my wife's phone.

Can someone point me to the fastest way to get to XDABBEB's 982.5 1.2.0 from his older VS980 2.2.0 ROM, which I have currently installed? I believe that old ROM is on 26A.

I don't want to have to flash to stock, take all the OTA's to 28A, ioRoot, AutoRec TWRP, and then flash this bootstack, and finally flash the ROM. Is there an easier route? Doesn't need to be detailed - I just need the landmarks to go towards.

Thanks in advance. (I did search for such an answer through this thread and the bootstrap thread, but couldn't find a specific answer).

David.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
Check the OP and down to the "How to install" portion and follow the directions. Seems you can just flash the 28A bootstack and go from there.
[Verizon LG G2] kongo101:
Yeah, I tried that yesterday on my phone. And it got the "secure boot error". And that's when the madness began.
[Verizon LG G2] greyhd:
I am not sure what went wrong, I was on 26A and just flashed the 28A bootstack and no errors.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
The 2 possibles would be a bad download (always verify md5, especially with bootstacks) or he tried rebooting to the current rom after flashing. I'm pretty sure 2.2.0 was a Loki rom.

On the next one, flash the md5 verified 28a bootstack, then reboot back to recovery (in twrp you click home > reboot > recovery) and flash the 982.5 rom. That should do it for you.
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
I can confirm that if you don't reboot back into recovery that is the error you will get. I did not get that on this ROM, but I did when I was floating between 12B AOSP's and 2.3.
[Verizon LG G2] tholmes8291:
Make sure you reboot back into recovery right after flashing any bootstack
[Verizon LG G2] kongo101:
Yes!! This is what I did wrong - NOT rebooting back into recovery. Lesson learned. (I did verify MD5's, as usual). I figured that could be the issue, once I did everything myself the hard and long way.

Thanks everyone. Will take the plunge tonight on the wife's phone.
[Verizon LG G2] kongo101:
Did my wife's phone last night. Easy as pie. Confirmed: just flash the bootstack, reboot in RECOVERY, and the do the normal ROM installation after wiping dalvik/system/data/cache.

Perfecto!

On a side note, the battery life and functionality of this ROM is AMAZING. Screen on time isn't significantly better, but when it's idling/screen off - the battery holds really, really strong.

Thanks xdabbeb!
