Qbutton

Is Qbutton functional in conjunction with a secured lock screen? I'd like to use it to trigger the flashlight, but the best it will do is briefly flash and then go off until i unlock the screen.

I've tested with a few different flashlight apps.

IIRC, this worked on xdabbeb's vs980 rom. I can provide a log if it will help, but I'm guessing it's a security block by the lock screen.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Yes. Use it nearly constantly (it's been on since Friday). Works very well.

You can set torch as volume button action with g3 tweaks box. Works perfectly with secured lock screen.

Any way to do it without xposed? I've been trying to make the switch to ART.

But now that you mention it, this may have been how i did this with the old rom.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Not that I'm aware of. Qbutton only launches the app, not any activity within.

I guess you could, it'd be less than ideal, use volume button to launch camera and turn on video flash/torch.

I've been fiddling with the Qbutton and was able to get it to launch a flashlight. I'm using Tiny Flashlight + LED with default action set to "on".

However during the course of my fiddling i was unable to get most other apps to launch with the button, including Internet or camera which is in the list of recommended apps to set.

Here is a log for trying to launch internet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/110216/2014-12-22-23-08-27.txt . And here is a log for successfully launching the flashlight app: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/110216/2014-12-23-09-28-38.txt .
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
It actually works just fine with most 3rd party apps I've tried...it's just certain built-in LG apps that aren't launching. It may be that they have a blacklist somewhere, and if so I can bypass it. Keep in mind, the QButton functionality isn't something that LG included in any of the stock G2 or G3 firmware.

EDIT: LG's stock camera works fine as well. This may have more to do with apps that are also QSlide capable. Will look into it more later.
[Verizon LG G2] ATgiant:
It makes sense to prevent some apps from bypassing the lock screen. It was kind of lame of LG not to make the shortcut buttons programmable though, so thanks for including the qbutton.

BTW, thanks a ton for getting knock code working. I didn't expect to see that until verizon pushed it out.
[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
Ok so I've done some reading on loki, bump, etc and want to summarize/confirm my findings, which might also help others until xdabbeb posts his guide.

Loki:

-Requires the 12b aboot/bootloader (24A+ are patched against it)

-Requires a loki'd recovery/boot image

-If you used Autorec to install TWRP, this is what it did (downgraded to 12b and flashed the patched recovery/images)

Bump:

-Works on any aboot/bootloader (most ROMs will probably suggest the latest 26A)

-Requires a bumped recovery

-Requires the ROM to have a bumped boot.img

-Following the install instructions and flashing this ROM does this for you

Once you've flashed this ROM:

-To flash a non-bumped ROM, you must go back to the 12b bootloader/aboot and loki'd recovery. Flashing Xdabbeb's 26A bootstack zip will do this for you.

-To go back to stock (KDZ/TOT) you need to restore download mode on your laf partition because it gets wiped for fastboot. Use the 26A Restore Download Mode zip to do this. If you've already gone back to 12b, you will need to use the 12b download mode zip in Xdabbeb's 2.3.0 thread.

Other Notes:

-When restoring a backup in TWRP, you will also need to install the matching aboot/bootloader or it won't boot (ex: Loki backup = 12b bootloader)

-You can install a bumped ROM from a Loki'd recovery but you also have to install a bumped recovery or you won't be able to get back into recovery

Please let me know if anything above is incorrect. Hope this helps.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Looks good to me. Technically, the laf partition isn't replaced...but that's being picky.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51698049 Good job!

Lack of data after on wifi

I have had the same problem...quite often actually...but toggling airplane mode fixes it. I will try the WIFI signal weak fix....
[Verizon LG G2] svensudels:
Ive had same problem! Ive tried to record some logs of it. Once i get home tonight, will try to upload logs to pastebin and then post a link here...
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
This is excellent! Thanks so much for writing it up. The only (minor) corrections would be:

1) under Bump...it technically doesn't require 26A aboot as the method works with older versions as well, but it's the first that allows us to use the latest (which is why I prefer it).

2) under Other Notes...you can restore whatever you'd like (TWRP is ignorant to the exploit), but if you want to be able to boot it you better make sure it matches your current exploit/aboot.

Logs are always welcome. I may have resolved this as I haven't seen it in over a week, but I only saw it once or twice in the first place. As I've said, I think this has more to do with current tower conditions where you are when you boot.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
From op:

"In addition, this many aspects of this firmware will NOT function properly with another kernel, so stick with the included one."

This is the first I've seen or heard of camera issues... Camera(s) work great with included kernel. If you still have issues with included kernel, reboot, reproduce steps for error, take log(s). Syslog works great.

Is there any way to make it show your data connection while connected to wifi? I realize xdabbeb purposely changes the ROM so it doesn't do this but sometimes when I'm on campus I'm on the fringe of 1X, 3G, LTE and it's nice to see what I have currently.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Hey dude...on this firmware I didn't need to hide it, so what you're seeing is how LG is doing it with their FlatUI. I'll see if there's a way to make it like stock G2 and if so I'll send you a separate patch.

Hi xdabbeb, you mentioned you'll be making some changes for the next version. Is that coming soon? Not really asking for exact ETA, just an idea since I wanted to get back to stock rom from AOSP and yours is the best option I think.

Logs for toggle of WiFi/MD and APN question

OK, so, here r 3 links to debug logs I created with Catlog. I hope/think I included ALL relevant data that was occurring while I was toggling my WiFi off, and mobile data just would not connect. This always happens when I go outside at work and want to use my mobile data whilst I smk a cigarette. U c, WiFi doesn't reach far enough outside the building where I have to go to smoke and I NEED my mobile data to browse the interwebs!!!! Anywho, I know xdabbeb said that he thinks very specific conditions need to be met for this to occur and maybe I just work in the vortex of these certain conditions....IDK.... But, in the interest of community, I figured I'd at least try to participate in an effort to correct this. This really isn't a big deal, all that's needed to correct this problem is a simple toggle of mobile data off then back on. Takes 2 seconds. It just drives me CRAZY for the 5 seconds that it happens!

Also, I was perusing through my APN settings and there's only 1 APN. I thought I remember having multiple APNs on other ROMs. Furthermore, when I go In to try to edit the APN, I can't! I mean, I never would have even seen this if I was digging around the settings looking for a solution to the above mentioned problem. I've attached screenshots to describe my APN(s?). When I open the menu on the main APN screen there is no "add APN" option. Then when I click on the single, existing APN there is only 1 value that is available to edit, the name of the APN.

These are the ONLY 2 things that my neurotic mind takes issue with regarding this otherwise FANTASTIC ROM!

Not sure if it a clue to the data connection problem or not but I was on Wifi when I read this and saw the 4g LTE icon at the same time. Turned off wifi and did not have data. Toggled airplane mode.

I have a vs980 but I'm using a GSM network, in the previous xdabbeb rom It showed that I was "roaming" (data and everything worked, just that my signal was weak) . I'm pretty sure I'll experience the same bug when I flash this

Is there any way to turn it to "gsm"?
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
[MENTION=2892915]svensudels[/MENTION] thanks for the thorough post/logs. I still have yet to be able to reproduce it reliably myself, but one of my regular testers finally has and got me sine logs that led to a patch. If you're also able to reliably reproduce it, shoot me an email and I can get it to you as well.

EDIT: Also, this does seem to only happen when coming out of Wi-Fi as I had originally said, but apparently isn't relegated to initial boot (for my tester at least). The way your apn settings look is totally normal.

since this is a q&a thread I guess I'll ask... My sot is nothing to write home about and I don't seem to have any unusual wakelocks. Before I jump to another kernel, because this one is rock solid stable, has anyone messed with the default settings? Care to share? Any other recommendations on tweaks?

Lastly, can anyone report how dori's kernel is running with xdabbeb vs982.5 should I go that route?
[Verizon LG G2] DoctorB0NG:
I'm getting roughly the same battery life in this as xdabbeb's VS980 ROM. I have autosync of my inbox on, autosync of my school email is on, location is off, 70% brightness, hooked up to a moto360. I switched network mode to LTE/CDMA although I don't know whether or not that actually does anything. All kernel settings are their defaults.
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
Even though I hate battery stats since we all use our devices differently, you should let us know what your SOT is if you're not happy with it. Mine is fine...over 4 hrs at 54% last week and now over 3 hrs at 56%.

Read the OP and /or post 199 of the Q&A about other kernels.
[Verizon LG G2] DoctorB0NG:
I would highly recommend against changing kernels. DorimanX will just lead to bad battery life, poor UI performance and more than likely, SoDs. Furnace gives decent battery but nothing any more or less that the stock kernel.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
You can't use other kernels with this rom. My battery life is fine.

Try interactive without touchboost. Refer to op for instructions (it's very very easy). You don't even need kernel tweaking app.

upgrade

I learned to ask before I flash, so I will ask the noob question:

What is the proper step to upgrade from xdabbeb's v2.3.0 ROM? Can I skip the 26A bootstack flash here?
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
You can skip the bootstack if you've already flashed the 26a bootstack on 2.3.

"If you already have a full 26A bootstack and are running TWRP 2.7.1.0 or higher, you may skip to step 5."

just wanted to say thanks for this rom.

nice work

seems to run smooth from what i tested.

only been messing with it for about 15-20mins but seems great.

instead of making a whole new thread shouldnt this have just been an update to the original xdabbeb thread with a new changelog?

if not please explain why.

1 more question.

when the official lollipop drops for the vs980 will there be another xdabbeb thread?

i assume so as the entire bootstack will change i presume.

i can understand custom rom new threads where android gets a new revision/name change like jellybean to ice cream sandwich and ics to kitkat but dont understand xdabbeb 980 to 9802.5

so please explain as i really dont understand as to my understanding xdabbeb 980 should have just had an update to how to install and an update to the changelog but both use the same 26a bootstack dont they?
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
The 2.3.0 rom is based on stock 26a firmware for the Verizon g2.

The vs982.5 rom is based on the g3 firmware.

There are two threads because the roms are very different and maintained separately.

I have a question. I've been flashing back and forth between this rom and others without any problem.

I've had to flash and install the hiddenmenu.apk, run the commands in terminal emulator and do the touch update and all that to get knock on working again. Never really had a problem.

My question is after flashing and basically rooted stock 26a rom i can't get knock on to work no matter what i do. Tried everything nothing seems to work short of flashing custom kernel.

Any ideas on what i can do?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Have you been flashing the regular 26A bootstack before switching from this rom?

Here are all the ways I know of to restore knock on:

In Terminal:

setprop sys.lge.touchfirmware.update 1

Or:

Type ##LGSERVICEMENU into the dialer

Then

> HW Device Test > Touch Test > Touch Firmware Upgrade > click OK and wait 10-15 seconds

Or

Try running this command as root from a terminal emulator:

echo "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware

It should be the manual command to update touch firmware

Or

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/touch_gesture

[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Could any of the people that have had the mobile data not working after disconnecting/toggling WiFi issue please do the following and let me know if it resolves it for them:

Go to Settings > Click Wi-Fi > Click Menu button > Advanced Wi-Fi > Turn off "Allow Wi-Fi scanning"

Basically, what's happening is that if you have WiFi enabled (and it connects) on boot with that setting enabled, the connectivity service never gets an IP Addr for your mobile PDN. In certain situations, this setting being enabled makes the connectivity service believe that the interface is still in use and so it won't switch PDN's to mobile data and get an IP address. I have found two solutions for this so far, and the above is the simplest/cleanest so I'd prefer to stick with it if possible.

I'm loving this rom but my battery life sucks. I've been running g3 ports lately (mainly optimus and lam hoang) and this is the worst battery life...and is bot even close. I've added the touchboost and interactive files and changed touchboost to 729600 but haven't noticed any changes.

Are there any other tweaks?
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
Just saying battery life bites means nothing without stats from all ROMs. It's like saying gas mileage bites on one GTI compared to another GTI without stating what either car gets and how fast you drive both. Means absolutely nothing.

Use GSAM or Better Battery Stats to see if anything is keeping you phone awake.

Touchboost will actually drain the battery quicker.

[Verizon LG G2] s_wall98:
Anything really.

Im set up pretty much identical to where i was on lam hoang but only looking at about 4-5 SoT. Im not sure but i think i was around 6 with LH (and just a little less with optimus). I don't know.
[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
What do you consider "sucks" for battery life? How long is your battery lasting? How much SOT are you getting? What apps do you keep running? Is location on? Is it set for battery saving? Do you keep Google Now running? There's probably something keeping your phone awake when it's supposed to be sleeping. Have you checked for any rogue apps or out-of-control processes?

I came to XDABBEB's VS982.5 from OptimusG3, and I get roughly the same battery life on both. For me it's about 5 hours SOT unless I'm playing a lot of games. With light usage on OptimusG3 I've had the battery go 51 hours, but that was just 2.5 hours SOT. Looking at my phone right now on XDABBEB's VS982.5 I'm at 37% after 40 hours, but only 2 hours, 20 minutes of SOT (been busy with the holidays) and 40 minutes of calling.

Without knowing how you use your phone, I can only tell you how I have mine setup so you can see how it compares. I keep location on, but set to battery saving. Location history is off (that shouldn't make a difference anyway).

Google Now is off, but "OK Google" voice detection is on.

Brightness is on auto.

I keep WiFi and Bluetooth on.

Push notification is off on all apps (I only turn it on when I'm expecting an important email or something--I don't really need a notification every time I get some ad or somebody wants to play Candy Crush or crap like that.) I use Blue Mail instead of Gmail which may help a little bit since Gmail is always checking for mail even if you have notifications turned off. (Gmail app is nicer, though.)

Speaking of apps, I Greenify just about everything, since a lot of apps (especially Facebook) are constantly checking for things even when you tell them not to.

I do NOT add any battery saving mods or apps. On OptimusG3 I tried a few out (different kernels/kernel mods and DS Battery Saver app, etc.) but found they were actually hurting battery life quite a bit.
[Verizon LG G2] ffejy462:
Both. Especially system apps. Some of the future rom updates may include changes in system apps or system apps removed entirely. Restoring data on a modified system app will have unknown side effects and restoring a purposely removed app may create instability (more likely just inefficiency) in the updated rom.

Restoring user apps has significantly lower liability, but there is still occurrences of errors.
