Any card over 64gb doesn't play nice when trying to format to Fat32 using windows 8. I have tried a half dozen different methods from programs to Command Prompt extensions and nothing works. Short of Virtual box with Linux or an earlier version of Windows you are probably out of luck.

However there is a possible workaround. It won't be recognized by many apps including ES File Explorer (I haven't tried other root browsers), but you can format the card via TWRP to ext4 (a Linux formating option). Windows will no longer recognize it on its own, but AOSP might. Again, many apps probably won't recognize it as support may not have been built in to them.

My advice: unless you have a ton of music you keep stored on your card, switch back to a 32gb and use a cloud. When you think about it we get practically 25gb of space if you flash all your gapps on initial install, plus 30gb from the small card. close to 60gb of storage is a lot on a phone (again, unless you have a ton of music).
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Yeah windows blows giving in to the proprietary exfat format and not allowing easy fat32 re-formatting. Use this tool on windows to format any exfat to fat32: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

And for your own knowledge, Linux handles this issue seamlessly.
[Verizon LG G3] Kris Nelson:
Thank you for posting that link.. I was searching for it for people having this issue!!!
[Verizon LG G3] dodgem2012:
I agree with you about these options being in the ROM, but I also agree with Kris about being able to get most of this with apps from the play store to be able to customize your own phone.

For exchange it would be nice to have security bypass baked in but I've been using MailWise it has the ability to bypass security pin and has its own exchange service. I use it for my work email, works great.

It's weird because after 1 day I started to get the misc battery drain that chewed through my battery. This might have been because I loaded the most recent version with the widget fix because before that I didn't have it. I've since tried another 5.0 ROM (LS) and it so far no misc battery drain. Anyone else? I really liked Illusion more
[Verizon LG G3] SteveC485:
I found this a while back when I was looking for a way to get past the 4 GB available internal memory on my Razr M. Needed to partition an SD card to get Apps to SD to work. The basic edition is free. There is a premium edition you can purchase.

http://www.partitionwizard.com/

Download and install. Insert the SD card into the PC, and the wizard will show you the SD card at the bottom of the menu. Right click the SD and it gives you an extensive menu of stuff. You can make multiple partitions of your desired size, designate them as all primary partitions, format however you want, etc. Will do way more than just let you into an SD card.

You can figure this out with a little caution, if I can do it...so can you :). Just remember when you select whatever stuff you want done to the SD card, you have to go to the top left of the main menu and click apply.

The high end of my SD card assortment is a class 10 Samsung 64 GB. I checked the file format on it before putting it in my Galaxy Tab S. It was FAT 32, so I left it alone.
[Verizon LG G3] Kris Nelson:
It's really not chewing thru your battery.. I know it says like 25% but if you look at Google play services or os etc you'll see they are only at 2 & 3% when they should be like 15%.. Mine hit on the widget fix too but my battery and sot were both about 5.5 hrs...

But i do believe it will be fixed in the next update :)
[Verizon LG G3] itch808:
My battery went from 55% -> 13% overnight, back on stock LG I would lose 2-3% overnight
[Verizon LG G3] Kris Nelson:
I don't think that's from the misc though.. Mine slept like baby with the misc bug popping up when it hit 20% battery.. Anyway, it will get worked out

[Verizon LG G3] pitbull8265:
I am loving the battery life on this rom, and all of the features.. cant wait until the next update..
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
you should use GSAM w/root companion to get a better idea of where the power is going etc.

i dont have that misc line in my stock stats, although i do have one with no description, but its only 8% of 50%. i think it may be the hotspot though, the description just mentions packets sent and received.
[Verizon LG G3] mpetruzz:
Flashed today and am very impressed, loving it so far! One question, any way to press the volume down button to launch the camera when the screen is off like on stock? I went through all the settings and couldn't find anything. I tried searching too, hopefully I didn't miss it haha.

Thanks

Hey guys, im new the lg g3 stuff. Just installed illusion. Any way to get the stock camera (with external SD save)?

Or any better camera apps?
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
At the moment, the camera is one of the areas of aosp on the g3 that can leave a little to be desired, depending on how much you're wanting out of it. I'm not sure on "better" apps, I just make do with the one that comes with it. But unfortunately no, there is no way currently to get the stock g3 camera app on aosp.
[Verizon LG G3] kevlo911:
I found that the Lenovo Super Camera is decent - lets me do SD save and it has a bunch of settings/features.

Not sure if it is as crisp as the stock app but it will do for now..

But now i have this dreaded miscellaneous battery use :(

may I ask how the camera quality is with this ROM ? I'm currently using hendrickson's camera mod, so I'm wondering how this rom's camera quality is compared to that mod ?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Subjectively speaking, to me it's good but not as good as stock. Unfortunately nothing can be unless someone can port the stock drivers and camera to work with AOSP. It's a trade off....great ROM, ok camera or best possible camera with stock based ROM. That's why I keep switching between the two...because I'm so torn on that choice!

I've never used that.. I use the Motorola camera with the LG mods and very happy with it..
[Verizon LG G3] p2im0:
I've started to notice odd BT behavior on a clean flash of 6.0 - where if I disconnect from a device (by being out of range or the BT device being powered off) and reconnect to that device - the phone and music app think music is playing but there's no sound.

Here's the scenario - power on BT, connect to Jeep UCONNECT BT system for media and phone. Start playing audio via Google Play Music. Power off Jeep and BT disconnects but remains enabled on the phone - music naturally stops playing. Then when I restart my Jeep the phone will reconnect to the Jeep's bluetooth automatically, as expected. Now, Play Music starts automatically playing according to both the phone and the Jeep but there is no audio. I've had a couple instances where pausing music playback on the phone and playing will cause audio to come from the phone speaker even when the "Cast to" in button in Play Music says I'm connected to a BT device.

Only way I've been able to fix it is, quickly toggle off/on BT on the phone and let it reconnect. All is peachy until the next time I disconnect/reconnect to the Jeep. I've also tried this using a Jabra Supreme wireless headset and get the same result.

A minor inconvenience but figured I'd share.
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
I have the exact same issue as you described.

I have bluetooth on 24/7 as I also have a G Watch R paired. After listening to music in my car, I will turn my car off, go to work, and leaving bluetooth enabled on my phone. When I get back to my car, it connects to my phone, and both the phone and car say the audio is playing (I see the track title and the seconds are progressing), but no audio. I find that if I press play on Google Play Music before going in my car, it usually works, however sometimes it will stop half-way through that song and I'll need to toggle bluetooth off and back on to get it to work.
[Verizon LG G3] p2im0:
Glad I'm not the only one. I think it might have done it on Illusion 5.5 as well, but I only really started to use BT again on 6.0. Maybe it's just a NH thing :p

Just to ask what radio are you using, you can flash version 12b, i think this rom comes with 10b here is the link to it

cheers

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

here is the link to the radio

hope that helps

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Ok I ask any who would know. Will your radio ( baseband )affect your BT ....... if so is that the issue some people are having.

I personally have not noticed any BT issues , but I'm on the 12b radio ( transferred files to and from several other phones and a tablet or two without any issues....) and upgrading to the 23b in a few mins.

info anyone.

What xposed modules do you guys use on this ROM?
[Verizon LG G3] Kris Nelson:
I haven't noticed this or heard anyother reports..

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

When you install a custom rom you aren't installing on top of.. You're installing in place of. That's why you clean flash.. You wipe the previous firmware and replace it.

Illusion is built on pure Androids current version 5.0.2..

Now your LG firmware was 4.4.. So if you want to go back to stock LG you can certainly update it..

Hope that makes sense for you.

Good call quality and pretty decent signal strength. Not much different from 11c or 12b but it's cool that it's working.
[Verizon LG G3] kidruk:
I def noticed an improvement is signal.... Especially with LTE.
[Verizon LG G3] Tech_Savvy:

I'll have to give it a shot, backing up now. Where did you download the modem?

EDIT: Found it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538781

Flashed 23B and I really didn't notice a difference in signal strength. SignalCheckPro reported -88dBm for 1x and -105dBm for LTE on 12B, and on 23B it reports -91dBm for 1x and -104dBm for LTE.

Updated to 6.0 with a dirty flash (although I stupidly flashed my gapps so I don't know if that wiped all my gapps data...) and everything is running fine. Also flashed the new 23B modem and I got service so that's working well.

Only thing is, I may be experiencing the wifi cutting out. Sometimes i'll be playing music via soundcloud and it will fail to stream a new song. The wifi may seemingly cut out for a bit, but then it works fine. I've really only noticed this with 6.0, and it's not even hurting functionality but it seems like a very very mild symptom of the wifi issues.

Will report back after more use with the new modem.

Loving this ROM so far, great features, hotspot works well, and looks great. Only issue/concern is VM. I don't subscribe to VVM, and I've gotten VMs in the past couple days, but no icon. Besides that, I'm getting texts from VZW about "sync" something, and will sometimes leave a number that called, but most of the time, its just random letters/numbers. Not sure if ROM issue, or I need to check to see if maybe VVM has been added, or played with. Aside from minor VM issue, best AOSP Lollipop ROM I've run thus far

[Verizon LG G3] anonymously:
He's right. Textra is great. Good enough to make you forget it's a replacement app
[Verizon LG G3] desantim:
Textra is my daily driver.... Speaking of daily drivers.

It hit me this morning, thinking how little I frequent XDA anymore... I have this ROM to blame for it. I had a warranty replacement phone sent out to me about a month back, and the only ROM that has graced my phone is Illusion. It's that good. It's probably the best single ROM I've ever used on a phone of mine, out of countless. I used to be a crack flasher, mainly due to the inability to find just the right mix of performance and stability. Illusion feels like a stock replacement, without the stock bloat. It feels like how it should have always been. Obviously I wish we had stock camera drivers, but that's in no way the Illusions fault, but the nature of the beast unfortunately.

I guess the only complaint I could have is an issue with the base itself, I went out to the woods the other day to do some target shooting, and my phone kept freezing requiring battery pulls. I was dumbfounded as to why. After 3 attempts, it hit me. I had no service. It was jumping in and out or roaming and it hit me that Androids AOSP stuff hard freezes when this happens. I threw her in airplane mode until I got out of the woods, 2 hours later no more freezes and went on with the day.

Feeling nostalgic this morning I guess, I remember just months ago before Illusion came out, I was flashing roms weekly, if not daily as I was never happy. I've upgraded every version of Illusion thus far, and every one gets better.... If that is even possible. When I got my warranty replacement, the only reason I booted up the stock rom was to get a GPS fix, before my lunch hour was over, I had Illusion on her, and haven't looked back!

Thanks again!
[Verizon LG G3] Kris Nelson:
Well if that didn't make my day.. Nothing will!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write that!! Truly..

Yeah I second this. It doesn't matter what texting app I use, the picture quality is terrible. If I receive a picture thru email the quality is normal, but anything I receive thru mms is pixilated. Tried different settings, apps, apn's but nothing works. I brought it up a while back but it seems it doesn't happen to everyone.
[Verizon LG G3] ljmunz:
If your using Hangouts and Xposed, you could try this. I've never used it, but description says "Bumped default MMS resize dimensions to 1024×1024 and quality to 80." Worth a shot.
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
Absolutely correct! I was in the same boat, but ever since about 2 weeks ago, when I finally tried out Illusion, I haven't even thought about flashing another ROM! I love it, its perfect, and my phone has never been more smooooooooooth!

My only slight annoyance is that I have been getting more kernel crashes lately (last 3 days, it happened 4 times). It reboots fine, but its something that I observe. Has anyone else noticed this?
