Hi all,

I was using xdabbeb's VS982.5 v1.0.0 ROM up until the update just a few days ago. I cleared the Dalvik and Cache, then installed the v1.1.0 ROM over my 1.0.0 installation (dirty flash, keeping my files and whatnot). Everything is great, however, the proximity sensor seems a bit messed up. Put my finger near it, and the screen turns off until I move my finger away. It's troublesome whenever I try to use my left hand to swipe down from the top.

I'm in a country with very slow internet and don't want to do a full wipe and reflash, since it'll take hours/days to re-download my apps and data. Is there anything I can try to fix this? Or is a full wipe the only thing I can do? Or, is it an issue with the v1.1.0 ROM? Thanks in advanced for any help :)

[Verizon LG G2] svensudels:
Also, when updating from 26 bootstack to 28a bootstack, it is needed to reboot back into recovery after flashing 28a bootstack because a new version of TWRP is flashed in the 28a bootstack and this new version of TWRP is to be used in flashing the new 1.1 fw...right?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Do the new bootstacks restore the laf partition or do we need to restore it on 26a, then flash the newer bootstacks in order to have download mode if we have fastboot as of now?
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
I apologize if I sound rude, but if you choose not to follow op instructions (not just here, but anywhere), don't bother reporting bugs or issues.

1) titanium backup or similar (but use some common sense and don't restore system apps and in some (most) cases app data). Quite a few apps have a settings backup option (Nova launcher, poweramp, gravitybox, g3 tweaks box, to name a few). The op does warn about tibu usage, but used intelligently, it's a useful tool (just don't rely on it).

2) full wipe is recommended and instructed

3) it's not a rom issue

xdabbeb's vs982.5 1.1.0
[Verizon LG G2] Zackptg5:
You can flash the rom immediately after the bootstack without reboot. The old version of twrp works fine. The new bootstack does flash a new version of twrp.

As xdabbeb stated on the op of the vs980 resources thread, the new bootstacks have the download mode with the laf partiton as many ppl felt uncomfortable with fast boot so flashing them should bring back download mode.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Yes, reboot to recovery after flashing bootstacks is necessary. Not due to the recovery, no.

If you have Fastboot now, then use the restore download mode zip before flashing the 27A/28A bootstack. Assuming you want download mode as opposed to Fastboot.

I'm sorry, I thought this was [Q&A] (which means Questions and Answers), not the Bug Report Page. So I asked a question. I fixed it by repairing permissions, which I've tried to lay off on doing frequently since I've read it doesn't have many benefits.

Also, a full wipe isn't instructed in the post, even when updating. Simply says "Wipe data/cache within twrp. You should leave internal storage alone." which I did. Most other ROMs I've flashed are okay to dirty flash unless it's a major revision, such as v1.0.0 to v.2.0.0.

Anyways, again problem fixed after repairing permissions in TWRP. Sorry for asking a question that I couldn't figure out in a Q&A thread.

XCam: Focus crosshairs / boxes overlapping

Coming from v2.3.0:

I've done a full wipe (cache, system, data, etc..) Installed the 28a bootstack, rebooted back into recovery, installed the Rom and then booted into into system. I'm NOT running ART.

I basically skipped all the setup wizard stuff, didn't even add my Google account.

I didn't install any software other than what was installed by the rom. No DPI mods or anything else. This is straight up first boot after a complete wipe and install of the rom. The only thing I didn't wipe is my sdcard / internal storage.

Loading XCam everything looks fine. The W10M image size preview fills the entire screen including behind the transparent nav buttons. All controls line up, etc.. but still the focus [ ] are all overlapping each other.

Loading the Stock G3 cam the focus spots look fine.

I've clear the data / cache on XCAM and still have the same results.

XCam in XDABBEBs v2.3.0 worked fine.

I know from searching that this typically happens when changing the NAV bar size and/or the using a different non-stock DPI of the OS but as I said, this is happening after a first time boot and no other software or changes being made.

Any ideas?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
@heymoe you're worrying over nothing. The mw-AF points for a G3 driver are different, and this is the only G2 fw that uses a G3 driver. You said you looked at the stock app, but you failed to see that they're in the same location/pattern there as well....they're just smaller boxes.

@igacek You are correct that this is the Q&A section, and that you did post in the right place. The problem is that you ignored the install instructions. If you want to dirty flash, go right ahead. It will likely work MOST of the time. Despite the baseless claims made on either extreme of this argument, there ARE circumstances where problems will arise, however (namely, system db/settings issues). Your options, then, are to do a clean install or track down the exact conflict yourself and make the change manually. In no case should you suggest that it's a "bug" or ask others how to fix it until you've followed the instructions. I appreciate that you don't want to download your apps again, but you always have the option of backing them up and the restoring one-by-one to determine the culprit.

@kempi as others suggested, just install AdAway. I removed the blocking hosts file because a few people were whining about it. As for the battery drain/heating in ART, it's likely because you didn't follow the install directions and apply the ART patch.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
In your first post you indicated that you did not wipe data, now you say that you did...

You are right, I misquoted the op slightly, but only because system is wiped, just not by the user directly (wiped during rom flash).

I still stand by my original comment about not reporting a bug or issue if op isn't followed regardless of thread.

I did answer your questions...

I'm glad that your issue had a relatively easy solution and again did not intend for tension or misunderstanding. ☺

[Verizon LG G2] igacek:
Thanks for the reply. I love the ROM. Apologies on the instructions, I looked all over the main thread and must have misesd them. I fixed the issue by running "Repair Permissions" in TWRP. Any idea why permissions would wonk the proximity sensor like that? Or is it just a "oh well, it's fixed, no need to think about why it was broken"? Thanks again for the ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] heymoe:
Fair enough. I didn't see any mention that this was the expected behavior from XCam in this thread and the overlapping was reported as being an issue in others due to DPI or what not so I figured I would report it here. I did notice the smaller boxes in the Stock Cam but figured that just showed there was a problem with XCam. Thanks for the info

I'm having a problem with GPS on every ROM I've tried on this phone. The only time it worked was on complete stock. It finds my location but will not keep up when I use Google maps. I've tried everything that I've been able to find on the forums but it acts the same on every ROM. Any help or ides would be appreciated. This has been my favorite ROM and I can't find any problems with it except the maps issue.

Hey guys,

When I call people I can sometimes hear myself through the headset, rebooting sometimes helps, other times it doesnt. I would like to get your guy's thoughts on this. I have been having this issue randomly for a while, not sure if it is rom related. I had vs982.5 1.0.0 installed before and 1.10 now installed clean (wiped data/dalvik/cache/system). Thanks

Just clean flashed version 1.1.0 and ut works great using 28a radios and bootstack. One thing thats weird is that im not able to download the Amazon Shopping app off the market. Anyone else having this issue on thsi rom? Reason i ask is because ive noticed on other roms, i would have similiar issues to this but with different apps. Whenever i go to try and download amazon, it tells me that the app isnt compatible with device. I know for a fact it is because i was using the amazon app on version 1.0.0 of this rom.

I'm very happy to report that the bluetooth calling issues seem to be resolved, at least for now (since they didn't happen on the last build at first, either). I've been able to make several calls after a bluetooth call and no one has had trouble hearing me.

Thanks!

Okay here's the deal. Clean install, using Dalvik. Somehow lost root but rebooted and it was back. And USB debugging is check but when the phone reboots its uncheck again. Not sure why its not sticking. Don't know if this is an isolated incident or not. Thanks for the great work.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
While plugged in computer go thru all the connection options (make sure debugging checked first). After enabling all the different connections IE charge, mtp, modem, etc... Make sure debugging is still checked and reboot phone. You can then unplug from PC and it should stay checked from now on.

Fwiw, i just had the BT call issue on 1.1... Xdabbeb said he thinks its ap realated.... I experienced the bug after i installed too many aps to recall... I booted to recovery and clean flashed (again). Since i have reflashed i have yet 2 experience the bug. i also test BT calls and then reg calls after each and every apk install. I will report back when and if i locate the rouge apk....
[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
Hmm. Well, I reinstalled most of the apps I had before. Might have missed a couple. The only thing I'm using different now is stock messaging instead of evolve since evolve was keeping the phone awake and draining battery for some reason. Will keep note of what I install from here on out to see what could do it.
[Verizon LG G2] hsypsufan:
Having the same issue with 1.1 after I dirty flashed over 1.0. I started experiencing the problem with 1.0 and then I dirty flashed 1.1 in hopes of it fixing the issue. Did you have to do a clean flash? I am hoping not and that's why I am asking. Thanks in a advance.
[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
Yeah, I clean flashed and flashed 28a first. I usually clean flash just to be safe, but in this case I also gave MicroMod's Lollipop ROM a try first (it was nice but I missed the dual window and other things from xdabbeb's) so it was a necessity.

Am having trouble with Google Voice international calling on this ROM since updating.

Did clean flash. Did not restore any data with tibu. After google restored my apps i noticed i can make local calls fine but not international calls since i have it selected to go through google voice for that. Screen Just starts flashing and I get a message to hold up and down on volume buttons to answer a call??

Uninstalling voice fixes the problem but i need that functionality. Is this working for everyone else? Suggestions on how to fix this? Did not have this problem on 1.0. Was using dalvic before now on ART through MY PATCH. Maybe that Has something to do with it?

Appreciate any ideas and suggestions. Still best Rom out there.

Fix for echo / feedback for other party during calls...

I'm new to the site and ROM, so I could only post this here. At some point after installing 1.0 of this ROM, the other parties of phone conversations began complaining of a bad echo (hearing their own voice come back to them). I had been playing with various mods to get more speaker volume, so I thought that was the culprit. After having no success in fixing the echo, the new ROM update came out, so I dirty flashed it, hoping it would clean up my problem... no help unfortunately. After much web searching, I found a reference to the "Google now" app causing an echo issue. I went into the Google settings and disabled the "OK Google" voice detection feature, and the echo problem totally disappeared! I was able to go back in and re-activate it later without reintroducing the problem. Something in the Google voice detection was apparently disrupting the the secondary mic(s) that are used to prevent echo. I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else runs across this problem. If it's only me, then it must've been some sequence of events that caused a conflict, but I'm sure it'll bite someone else at some point...

XDABBEB, thanks much for this great ROM!

[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Excellent discovery my friend. I actually didn't have the echo issue with 1.0 but had experienced it on 1.1 unfortunately, however I did not stumble across any threads about the google now voice detection so I almost immediately thought it was the fact I was using Viper 4 Android. After thinking that was the culpret I completely wiped and reflashed without viper and just adjusted my mixer paths.xml file for a sound boost and hadn't experienced it since. I have not set up my google now as of yet but come to think of it I had it set up when I had the same issue. I normally do not talk to my phone except on rare occasions so I think I'll just keep voice detection disabled. Thanks for the heads up and the thorough explanation of your findings.

I can second the data toggling behavior being this buggy.

Unlike the past G2 ROMs, I am asked for a "service code" when I dial in the LGservicemenu to try and update touch firmware (I'm having sensitivity issues, nothing major just annoying, though I suspect it's also partly caused by the new OtterBox case I'm using.)

WOW. I'm loving this ROM. Was running 2.2 with 26a for a long time and all I did was update to bumped TWRP as mentioned a couple posts above and clean flash of this ROM. I let Google restore my apps and used TB2 to restore data for messages and call history. Thanks for the great work on this.

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
That's a known quirk with usb debugging setting. Not unique to this rom. I think the fix is to send an adb reboot while in that menu with it selected and it will stick, buti can't remember exactly. Search around if that isn't it.

First of all, Great ROM! Thanks for all your effort. I feel like I have a new phone.

Only one issue I'm seeing so far. Not sure if it's just me, so before I go and re-flash I figured I see if anybody else is seeing the same thing... I'm trying to change the button combination in my nav bar, but can't. Go to Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Button combination crashes to "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. " I did a clean flash, coming from XDABBEB's VS980 v2.3.0 with the Bumped xdabbeb kernel 2.0.0 + TWRP + 26A BL. Anybody else having the same issue?

If you are not too far along, then just try another clean flash. Side Note: I haven't restored a lot of apps via TiBu, but the ones I have I did both app and data with no issues. Before I tried TiBu restores I did nandroid to be safe. So far so good.

Press and hold power and volume down until you see the LG logo then release and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons until reset screen appears.

it's will ask SCARY QUESTIONS!!!! if you want to hard reset your device!!!
