I am not getting the same battery life as kitkat. It is very annoying
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
How are you calibrating it? I've heard varying reports for and against draining to zero, full charge, and draining to zero again as the best way to calibrate it. I honestly stopped caring a couple years ago. It's gonna be what it is. Wakelock detector and BetterBatteryStats help track down battery eaters, but other than stomping those flat, there's not much to be done for battery life anyway. Then again, coming from the Moto DroidX and Bionic back in the wayback, I was lucky to get 7-10 hours idle for a while. DroidX eventually was getting 18+ idle, but those kind of battery life cycles got me in the habit of feeling like I needed to be by a charger 24/7. To get the G2 and now the G3, I'm looking at multiple times that sort of battery life. Even if it's crappy compared to other G3 ROMs, it's so much better than what I was weaned on.

Is this after letting it run for a few days and building up app caches and what not? First day or two are always different than regular use a week down the road.
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
My phone i get 14 to 16 hours battery life...when i do battery calibration i charge 100% disconnect from charger then calibrate....never let battery completely die i get to 2 or 4% then plug in and full charge without disconnecting....my battery charges from dead to full in an hour and a half after proper calibration....i use greenify as well and hibernate everything becides some basics
[Sprint LG G3] lim-popo:
Do you use Sprint sim-card??? If not, then forget it (for a while... Untill some of ROM builders will release the ROM with working GSM for other operators... Like Cloudyfa for D855)
[Sprint LG G3] egeek1:
u rock engine95!
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
I want to flash the ROM, but hate to go clean. I'm thinking the xposed framework will create dirty flash issues. Maybe uninstall KK xposed, dirty flash and install xposed alpha? Tough decisions.
[Sprint LG G3] succumbtothegreater:
So i tried installing xposed on this and i get constant LG SmartCover force closes, ive looked pretty much anywhere and cant find this app or anything to get rid of it, i dont use a smart cover anyways.
[Sprint LG G3] appledroid:
Any chance to get this working on T-Mo (D851)
[Sprint LG G3] autoprime:
no u need an updated d851 kernel. just wait a few more days :good:
[Sprint LG G3] budeone:
I just have to flash this.. Thanks a ton guys.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
You can always restore your nandroid you're gonna make before installing this. ;)

I'm not sure how to answer this one.

Make sure you're installing the Lollipop version, first off.

Does it still do it when you turn it off? I mean, if you're not using it.

ART/Lollipop xposed, is still too new in my opinion, and is going to cause us some problems.

Too many new things and the bugs are just starting to shake out.

Edit: I'm outta thanks again for the day. So to all of you....Thanks you

Gsm sim unlocked

wrong ,LS 990 rooted working fine.
[Sprint LG G3] jao36:
I froze SmartCover with Titanium Backup and it went away.
[Sprint LG G3] The_Big_H:
Works great, thanks for the hard work!
[Sprint LG G3] cashvillain:
thank bro

Can i use tweakbox and xpose?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I honestly don't know.

Tweakbox was built for KK, and L uses different ways of doing things.

I guess you could try it. But make sure you nandroid backup first.
[Sprint LG G3] Daruniafx:
Wow!!! it works with GSM network in El Salvador, the only issue is that the apn option doesnt appear, i have to change manually the apn with apn changer from playstore.
[Sprint LG G3] geeksmurf:
Follow this thread and remember that the xposed is a alpha release.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
I'm not really in any hurry to install Lollipop, but you gotta love the developers here, who have rooted ZV8 available even before Sprint releases the OTA. Way to go, guys.
[Sprint LG G3] bhint15:
Going to have to do dialer reset since didn't have the Sprint bootani but am excited. A fresh wipe was probably overdue anyway!
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Fair point and thank you for the excellent work you do
[Sprint LG G3] rocket31337:
I do not have WiFi calling on mine after doing the update. I did the dialer wipe and no dice. The WiFi calling option is there but it says enabling service and gives an error after a few minutes.
[Sprint LG G3] bhint15:
Did the dialer reset and it booted quickly into TWRP - then did something but was so quick couldn't see. Got the LG splash screen and a fresh boot again. Did not get Sprint bootani back. Doesn't bother me really as long as phone is fully functional. Wifi calling never worked for me and really don't have interest in using it anyways but it might work now. I'll try it sometime for fun.

After the phone booted and got hand free activation done I did get the shutdown animation back. I'll wait and see if startup comes back too!

I have the extra spare battery from LG so I let one run down and then pop in my spare.
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
I have the extra spare battery from LG so I let one run down and then pop in my spare.

Truth is i generally wait a couple days....thats because i purely forget to calibrate....and then once in a blue moon i calibrate it again but thats just me...ill be calibrating tomorrow in the morning and when i go to bed ill post my battery stats...ive ran it all day and hit calibrate but havent let is almost die which will result in a bad calibrate.so ill do it right in the morning...but calibrate also states it doesnt matter i just do it like i have for years
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Regardless of how many batteries you swap out, the device itself is what's controlling how well it uses that battery (given that the battery isn't bad). The OS needs to build up a cache of frequently used apps and data, which can take a few hours of crazy hard use to a few days of use. If you're familiar with compiling code, it's a lot like ccache in that respect. The way ccache works is that it takes all these frequently used bits and pieces from compiling and stores them in a cache on your hard drive. When a bit of code is to be compiled, it will just feed the right result back instead of compiling the same thing over. Saves a wee bit of time over each instance it can be used, but that can add up to an awful lot when you're working with something large (like building android, for example).
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
Yeah seems like i just let it settle in before calibrating battery let the system learn your habits first then calibrate
[Sprint LG G3] sqb33:
Ok will do. Thanks for the knowledge. Really appreciate it

Plz help!

After flash rom, my wifi tether not shown in setting, how can i fix that?

I had edited my apn but not working, i using g3 sprint from outside USA, my country network mobile is gsm. Plz help
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
A couple people came to me with that and we havent had a response back on how to fix
[Sprint LG G3] winsettr:
This may be obvious to those who have used CDMA devices before, or maybe this is completely random, but I found that I didn't get the Sprint boot ani or wifi calling app unless I skipped wifi setup and allowed the phone to connect to Sprint before I touched anything else. On first boot it connected to Sprint, then reboot with the Sprint shutdown/boot ani, then I setup everything else.
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
Fyi, I tried the ,dun hack and I still can't use WiFi tether. I get a message that I'm not subscribed.
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:

[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
Awesome. Don't know what I did wrong the first time, but working now.

Thanked.
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
Make sure you have the laterst version of twrp installed. you may also need to redownload the rom
[Sprint LG G3] zhr47:
How can I flash this rom on a completely stock not rooted 5.0.1? I have been googling with no luck, I am so lost....
[Sprint LG G3] ucallmebobby:
wifi connection issue?

Hi,

I thought I saw this issue somewhere but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I updated my Sprint G3 and all is good except wifi. It sees my home wifi network, says connected, but I have that little exclamation mark on the wifi icon indicating something's wrong.

I know the wifi is fine because I'm using my laptop on wifi right now.

Any suggestions on what to do? I vaguely recall something about changing my router settings, but again I can't seem to find my answer in search now. :(
[Sprint LG G3] airintak25:
will this work on verizon

hi will this work on verizon
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Try turning on airplane mode, rebooting, turning airplane mode off, then you should have wifi /data. This has always worked for me.
[Sprint LG G3] ucallmebobby:
Wow that worked! To think I've gone days without wifi... not that I minded so much since I'm on Sprint unlimited data and have LTE at home. :p
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
You will have to use LG flashtool to downgrade to zv4/kit kat and use stump root, then you can install twrp. Search the Sprint g3 threads for details/instructions on each part. Zv6 and zv8 are currently unrootable so you have to downgrade before you can do anything like that.
[Sprint LG G3] jaymcp:
I'm having the same issue as well. I've searched for a fix but I must be missing something. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G3] jcwxguy:
nope
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
Just to kinda show battery life when u calibrate right
[Sprint LG G3] jaymcp:
I'm having problems with MMS messages failing to download. I've searched for a possible fix but I must not be seeing it. Does anyone know a fix for this?
[Sprint LG G3] 2348z:
Try using a different texting app. Like textra, gosms, 8sms...
[Sprint LG G3] jimmotoxxx:
I was having problems until I did a profile update, rebooted, then I sent a MMS (I use Textra). After mine sent I received all the ones that were failing to download and it's been working fine since.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Depends a lot on your usage, too. I can pick mine up from letting it sit overnight and it says 12 days remaining. No joke, when I first got this phone (ZV4), It would read something like 138 days remaining. For a long time.

This morning, I looked at it after average use for about 8 hours yesterday, then 10 hours idle, and it said 23 hours remaining. I think it was at 80 when I fell asleep and was 65-68 when I looked at it.

I've never calibrated anything other than those older Moto devices I owned. To be honest, I was under the impression that the G2 and G3 had an actual dedicated voltage meter for battery levels. Those moto phones didn't, and they gave you percentage of remaining battery based on some F&^#$d up voodoo that was baked into the Moto firmware. This phone has always been accurate for me because it reads the battery directly (Again, that's the way I'm understanding it. Could be wrong)

I'm not really an advocate of apps that are supposed to tune your system memory or battery readings. If they seem to work for others, I won't slam them. They have just never made noticeable difference for me. I don't mean so much the apps like greenify or juice defender. Those actually disable data and background syncing except for a schedule you choose. That's an effective way to save battery, but it kind of defeats the point of having a phone that's purpose is to be connected 24/7
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
I remember on my evo if it wasnt calibrated right then the battery read wrong and seemed to die fast unless calibrated right
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
That *is* kind of odd.

L removed the ability to change nav bar themes thru settings?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
It's in there somewhere, must have been moved. Display or home settings, maybe?

[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
I think he means the design choice. We can only change color and position now not the look of the soft button itself.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
If memory serves, I never changed theme anywhere else. There were apps to install that contained themes to them, but you changed them by selecting the new "color scheme" it installed in the settings menu.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
ZV4 and ZV6 had the options of two different styles of softbuttons. One was the hook arrow and the triangular back button we see now.

I can only see this Triangular back button now as a choice. I can not find anywhere to switch to the the hooked arrow as a choice. Which is my personal choice.

Maybe I am missing something? All I see is either black/white and position choices.

Here is what the other options where and I preferred over the square/circle/triangle we have now with L

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] Visionikz03:
Yes we used to be able to install system ui apks and select them under settings. But they don't show in that menu once u install them.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Kids?

Anyway, L changed the icons. You can't pick that back arrow anymore. You may still be able to flash the themes and use one of those, though. I wouldn't put money on it, but it might be worth making a backup and trying it.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Just reread Visionikz post and caught that they don't work anymore. My bad.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
Lol I have no idea where that came from or even notice it. Lol...thanks for pointing that out I just edited. Only thing I can think I was texting wife at same time.

Safer alternative to ##786#

Hey guys most of you probably know but I don't see it anywhere. If you don't want to lose all you data after you flash this rom, you can just use ##72786# and that will make the device do OTA programming on wifi or cellular. Hope that helps!

[Sprint LG G3] shivaagarwal1:
I am experiencing a weird problem. Not able to download whatsapp media but am able to send them. I got back to kk to check if it was whatsapp problem, but it worked fine on ZV6. Any help will be highly appreciated.

P.S. I even factory restored the phone by flashing ZV4 to restore all partitions.
[Sprint LG G3] Jageroth:
Works perfect

Amazing job guys! It´s working perfect for me, im from Costa Rica and im using Movistar carrier atm!

Everything working fine atm :good: . :):good:
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Hi, I have installed this rom and so far, works perfectly. Only issue is that it does not recognize the ext sd card which I will run the sd card fix and see if that helps. On another note, I forgot to grab a couple phone numbers before I flashed to this new rom. Has anyone flashed one of their backups and returned to this rom and had any issues?? I would like to flash to my backup, grab those numbers, then flash back to this backup. Thanks for the feedback. Didn't know since this has different partitions and modems if that changes the playing field for going back to backups.

I installed this and love it. But I can't fig out how to disable the hands free activation. It's getting very annoying. Can anyone help? I looked for lgsetupwizard.apk in sys/app but it's not there.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Do you have a screenshot of the thing you're trying to disable? I'm not overly familiar with stock settings, and I don't know what that one even is. Just by the sound of it, I'd start with accessibility settings

That should be a one time app. Unless you manually activate it.

Something must be wrong. Try the ##UPDATE# in the dialer and see if that makes it go away.

I am having a issue with google voice on this rom. I have installed it and when I go to ringtones, it only shows the default ringtones, not my custom ringtones even though I have the same custom ringtones on my int sd and ext sd. When I was on the bliss pop rom, voice always showed my custom ringtones. I tried going into app info and clearing the defaults but it was not highlighted, not as a option. I tried uninstalling the app, reinstalling but it only recognizes the default ringtones. Please help.

Also, does anyone have any feedback on the restoring a backup of another rom after installing this new rom? Will I have issues coming back to this rom, because of different modems, partitions, operating systems?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G3] hiphopgamer26:
for what it's worth....i installed barepop yesterday, found it a bit unstable (and no menu button) and tried to restore a twrp backup... after backup restored i was getting no signal errors....flashed stock ZV6 then i got "Unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped" bootloop....restored my backup again and have had no issues so far yet

YMMV
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Does anyone know how to change the lockscreen shortcuts? Theres 4 default apps on there and I would like to change them. I went into settings-lockscreen but I didn't see a option in there to customize?
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
For me, the modem was the issue. Restoring my backup was fine except I lost signal. So I flashed the zv6 modem and all was well. The modems do not seem to be compatible. When restoring any zv8 based back up from zv6/zv4 I had to flash zv8 modem and vice versa.
[Sprint LG G3] Vidfreek:
The newer versions of TWRP have an option to back up the modem as well, I didnt notice that before, does make any difference. I havent had need to come off of this rom yet as its working great and I debloated everything myself. But in case I do, I made a backup of everything including the modem before I flashed this, will that work as a restore and bring back the ZV6 modem? I assume thats what its supposed to do, but you never know ;)
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Some very strange are going on. This morning my texting was working. Since that time was having issues with it not recognizing my external sd. I tried the zip, didn't work, tried the selinux to permissive, that worked. Then for some reason I google voice my custom Ringtones wouldn't show up. Then I decided to do a backup via twrp, and my custom Ringtones magically appeared and now my texting is not working, it appears to send but no one gets them and am not receiving any back. What the heck is going on? This is not mms but regular texts. Anyone shine some light on what is going on. I changed selinux back and forth between enforcing and permissive and rebooting in between thinking that may have something to do with it didn't fix.

Update - I found out that i accidentally switched receive notifications in text to receive them in voice in Google voice. I switched it back and I'm now getting texts. Sorry for the unnecessary posts.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Yes it absolutely should, I have been so busy I haven't even upgraded my twrp - but I remember multirom twrp had the modem option as well. I know efs backup via twrp wasn't 100% for the LG Optimus g. Hopefully both it and modem are for the g3.

In either case having the flashable zip for both is a good backup and don't take up much storage space.
[Sprint LG G3] csansom:
I'm on stock rooted ZV4 and wifi calling works.
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
A couple of apps are starting to give me issues. I don't know if it's the app, Lollipop, this ROM or something to do with the install.

I'm getting a bunch of freezing and Words With Friends is giving me black screens on certain conditions. Gmail and my Apex launcher are also freezing up or getting laggy. Facebook and YouTube are slow or unresponsive. And the coup de grace is that the XDA app seems to be having similar symptoms. I'm also getting some very aggressive ad behavior on WWF and XDA.
[Sprint LG G3] scottspa74:
This. This is what I've been reading the last 18pages to try to find before asking.

So, the radios are backward compatible? Meaning, if I try the radio / modem update and get poor results, I can flash the older radios again?

Much thanks. I just couldn't keep reading to see if addressed further, already been reading this for 30min lookin. Lol.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
From what i read, the modems are not interchangeable between lollipop and older operating systems. If you flash to a previous bu that has, say, kit kat, you have to use one of the compatible modems. To my knowledge, lollipop modems don't work with kit kat, correct me if I'm wrong. Try doing the profile prl update again.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
No, when I installed lollipop it installed the zv8 modem and worked fine but when I went BACK to a zv6 nandroid, I had to flash the zv6 modem - otherwise I had no service. If using updated twrp, it should save the modem partition but I was using an older version.
[Sprint LG G3] j.anderson618:
Just broke 100%.. Aftermarket battery though..
[Sprint LG G3] myxmastrmike:
What version of TWRP is needed for this?

I've got v2.8.0.0 currently.. would that work?

I'm looking to flash this/BarePop and test drive the new radio, and then if it doesn't work out for me go back to BarRin_ZV6....

Being able to just flash my ZV6 nandroid would be awesome (though flashing the modem on its own too wouldn't be terrible) I just want to figure out if i HAVE to...
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
Great battery life
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
Engine95 usually includes modem/radios with his rom zips.

Easier for some of you is to just reflash the version of rom KK or L that you want then restore your backup as the rom flash will include everything you need for that particular version.

This way your not trying to figure out what modem do i have flash modem then worry about partition or what rom was I on which nandroid am I restoring etc...

Have a great day!

[Sprint LG G3] crazygerz:
Friend need help, I come from samsumg environment and I'm not very familiar with the LG environment, and I'm crazy with the phone stock without root.

will have to return to Zv4, and what is done already, but I have a series of questions.

to flash this rom not understand this

See Post # 4 for modems, rpm / tz partitions, and info.

See Post # 2 for addons / additional files

them I have to make a backup ?, because I am currently in stock zv8, not that I have to blink. that I have to do a backup. or is it just a matter of flashing your rom and ready ?. parpaderar sesi not need a modem or unlock the bootloader.

Thanks before hand, a doubt more are these rpm / tz partitions.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
All you need is to take the phone back ZV4 then root and install TWRP recovery.

At which time you can make a back up of your ZV4.

Download this ZV8 and flash everything is included in zip. You will then be on rooted ZV8.

Make sure you do a clean flash as engine95 explains in the OP.

You do not need to worry about anything else.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
