I think that some of the issues I'm having are being caused by ads (XDA Free app seems particularly bad).

And easy to get a decent ad blocker? Or can someone share a link to a hosts file?

(Or should I just install BarePop?)
[Sprint LG G3] mistermidas:
Just flashed this ROM..figured I'd go ahead once i actually got the official update notification. Everything is working perfectly. Seems smoother but i hate they got rid of lockscreen widgets. And don't really like how EVERY notification shows on the lockscreen either. I'll just be glad once xposed is officially working...not just the alpha. Im missing some g3 tweakbox big-time!

Edit: I also never got the Sprint boot animations...still just the lg ones. Everything works as it should though, no issues.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
If you go to the Bump thread you will find the correct recovery image. I would stick to TWRP. Works really well.

This rom is great. Does anyone know how to customize the 4 (default) apps that are already on the lockscreen. I do not like these particular apps, would like to change, thanks. I went into settings - lockscreen but there is not a option.
[Sprint LG G3] kljohnson05:
You were in the right section, just look for "shortcuts"
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
There is no option for shortcuts, only:

select screen lock

smart lock

pattern effect

hidden pattern

make pattern visable

wallpaper

weather animation

contact info for lost phone

lock timer

power button instantly locks
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
The option is not there unless your lockscreen is set to swipe/slide/whatever, I think. Try setting your lock to the swipe to open lock and look again?
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
You were right, changed to slide and the option appeared. Thanks

I changed it back to pattern and I now have the shortcuts I wanted. On another note, I have a star ? in my status bar and I don't know what it's for. I pulled the drop down window down and there is no notification for it. Never seen this notification before. Anyone know what this is for?
[Sprint LG G3] CYNICALifornia:
So, let's say, theoretically, you're a dumb-a like me, and with your fat fingers you accidentally wipe the internal storage. Then, when you flash this ROM, and apps have trouble writing to internal storage (for example, Swiftkey can't save language packs). Then you try the ##687# deal (since you didn't have the Sprint boot animation anyway), but it doesn't fix it. So you try restoring ZV6 (with its modem, which works just fine) and reflashing ZV8, only to have the same problem, over and over again...

What, my friends, would you do?

Just remember, nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. :eek:

ROM seems to be running fine (until I jacked it up trying to install Xposed Lollipop and had to start over again, smh). Anyway, does anyone know if it's possible to recover wifi/bluetooth pairings between KitKat and Lollipop? Been trying all morning and haven't had any luck. (Couldn't find anything about it on Google or XDA, either.)

If you've restored your wifi/bluetooth settings, what method did you use? I'm only asking because I have a lot of wifi access points in particular to restore.

Thanks for another great ROM!
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
Tethering not there?

Did they remove the WiFi Tethering option on the Share & Connect settings? I also can't seem to get WiFi Tether Router to work anymore. I was working fine on ZV4. Now my other devices can't seem to see my phone's SSID.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
I don't see them in my system anymore but I know they are working because wherever I go it pairs up right away and does not prompt me for passwords. So they must be stored somewhere within Google's greatness.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Google saves those when you have it set to sync app data. Titanium backup can save them and restore them. The paid version of Titanium will let you restore apps and data from a nandroid on the sdcard.

THIS is the kind of stuff you use Titanium for. It is not for restoring system apps from one ROM to another completely different ROM. That is to say restoring a kk LG system app on a lollipop AOSP ROM, or something like that. Don't do that.

[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Hi, can you link to the correct xposed you used with no issues. I would like to install that but I want to make sure I have the right version. Also, did you have to do anything extra to install, or just clear caches and flash via recovery. Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
You're running it on ZV4/ZV6 I believe. This does not work on ZV8 (Lollipop) because there's no "Wi-Fi hotspot" option.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
I am using this on ZV8, works fine. There is a wifi hotspot option, under more, in settings.

Of course it does it has everything. You better check your install because your screenshot is way off.

[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
And there is a wifi hotspot option on mine. I did exactly what the you tube video suggests and it works perfectly.
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
That is so weird. Are you using this build (stock zv8 l odexed)? Because I did everything on the OP and I didn't get the Wi-fi hotspot option.
[Sprint LG G3] Gatito2008:
I have the same problem. If you are using a GSM SIM, the WIFI Hotspot option does not appear. I think... that is the problem.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
Yes totally on this build all stock, clean install.

Check the post above this also are you using GSM SIM.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
I am running on a GSM SIM (though it wasn't a problem on ZV4/ZV6 builds). I just tried running without the sim and that didn't work. Also played around the Mobile networks settings, switching it between Global, LTE/CDMA amd CDMA and that didn't work as well. I'm all out of options on tethering, since 3rd Party tethering app doesn't work yet either. Thanks guys.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
Re download the rom. Reflash it all clean. Only thing I can think of is that you have a bad Download or flash.

[Sprint LG G3] Mdknight:
Yeah, I'm aware of all that. Been using it for a while, restoring my pairings didn't work when I hopped over to Lollipop. I'll live, but I'll try again, later, anyway.
[Sprint LG G3] dannieloco:
have you tried this!?

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/how-to-xposed-running-properly-stock-t3030261

yeah just flash the Zip and install the xposed apk
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
It wasn't the download. I spent some time re-downloading this stocked ZV8 and installing again and I still didn't get the wi-fi hotspot setting. After that I downloaded Barepop and tried that as well and still no wi-fi hotspot setting. So I guess I'm at the mercy of the OP to see what's going on and possibly have a solution for this problem. And/or also having wifi tether router fixed as a 3rd party alternative. I'll keep playing with it though.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Ddn't mean to sound like I was lecturing you on how to use TiBu. I just know that TiBu gets a LOT of crap from people about being a system ruiner, and I was trying to put out some general ish on what to do and not to do with it
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
This isn't so much for you specifically, but for everybody with these grayed out/missing options.

I do know that if you use LGFlashtool with the ZV4 tot, and work your way back to root/unlock, everything works as it should. A few people with weird issues have done this and it's fixed all their problems.

This makes me think that it's the internal sd's that are messed up.

When we use Flashtool, it wipes internal sd along with everything else. The only partitions we've changed with this update is the /system.

If you want to stay away from Flashtool, then you can try this:

Remove your External SD

Backup your files on your Internal SD

In TWRP, "Wipe" > "Advanced" and select /system, /cache, /dalvic, /data

Install the ROM

Before rebooting, go back to Wipe, and select "Format Data". It'll have you type "yes" to wipe it

Then reboot system.

After you do the setup, give it a couple minutes to settle. And add the SDCard fix from post #2 and reboot to TWRP.

Install the SDCard fix

Reboot

Done

Now go check to make sure nothing is grayed out in the phone. And/or if you have WiFi Calling. If no WiFi Calling, you'll need to do the ##RTN# in the dialer. You'll need your MSL. get it from Sprint or here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54912206&postcount=4.

Now you can add you External SD

If you've flashed the rpm,tz partitions, that seems to be creating another issue. Mostly having to do with reboots/power off freezes.

So as of now, lets go back to the ZV4/6 rpm,tz partitions and see if it does eliminate some of these issues.
[Sprint LG G3] dannieloco:
Are there any Kernel options for this ROM?
[Sprint LG G3] Mdknight:
Oh no, I didn't take it that way. Ha. The only crap TiBu gets from me is the out-of-date interface, but what it does, it does well. Very well. I only asked to see what other's results were, so I can see if the mistake was mine or a compatibility issue. It's all good. Something I backed up started the "process.android.acore error," so I've gotta start over anyway. (The usual contacts fix methods didn't work, so I'm proper-installing all my apps this time around. Thank goodness for AppBrain to help track them all or I'd be here through the next two days. I'm a little bit of an app-whore. lol)

Looking forward to more from this ROM. Developers here never cease to amaze.
[Sprint LG G3] blarg:
does this touch the bootloader? I'm still running on the old unlocked KK bootloader and would like to keep it.

Is this image bump'd?
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
The boot loader is not unlocked on this device. There is a code which works around the boot loader (bumped) .

Yes this rom and everything which flashes through TWRP is bumped in. As the recovery itself is bumped.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
Thanks you so very much. It worked, which I believe it's the ##786# resets. I think I did the reset twice, because the first one didn't restore the options, which was kind of weird, so I thought I did it wrong and tried again. The second time worked.

Now I have a new problem now though. The album art on all the mp3s loaded doesn't show anymore. I cleared the data of the Media Storage and also restarted and waited for a couple of hours. Still the cover arts aren't showing up anymore. This isn't too trivial though. Has anyone ran into this problem?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Well said. The only reason we can get TWRP to load is also because it's bumped. It more or less spoofs the signature that the bootloader looks for. Same with ROMs. You can flash a ROM that hasn't been bumped, but it won't boot. Trust me, I've made that mistake before I got around to automating the bump process at build time. Shortly after that, a change got pushed to CM code that did just that thing, so now most any build that is based on CM's source is bumped during compile.
[Sprint LG G3] Knightbird68:
Tot?

I know TWRP is the preferred method, but since I got the OTA that messed my root and my TWRP, I had to reload the Stock TOT file using the LG Flash tool. And I am back in business..

So my question is, how difficult would it be to package this image together as a TOT file, that could then be loaded (Root, TWRP and all) with LG Flash? :confused:

(...and let the flaming begin...)
[Sprint LG G3] Wickster:
I figured this one out. Somehow my permissions for the /sdcard directory got all messed up. I tried fix permission from twrp but I ended up with a bootloop. To make the long story short, Format Data fixed everything up again. Just have to restore my files again through Titanium.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Give it some time. Lollipop is not being easy to work with. Yet

No flaming here. :p

I don't know if we can even make a tot. That's a factory thing I think.

As far as I know, all we have are a bunch of hacks that allow us to do things with factory ROM's. I'm good with that. :D
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I think we'd need lg keys even if someone managed to piece a tot file together
[Sprint LG G3] Srambo217:
Oof, had a rough experience with this. I think the dev did a great job but I started getting slammed with that smartlock and weather force closes as well as a major data drop.

The UI felt better than it has on my Nexus device but I don't feel like Lollipop is worth it yet, especially with the lack of reliable Gravitybox/Tweakbox support.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Sprint LG G3] lonewolf42:
I too havent had the best experience with this so far. I've had alot of random reboots, at times it feels much snappier but then at other times it just drags. As well as xposed not being compatible, and some issues with certain apps that i didnt have previously. im pretty sure i will flash an old back up later this weekend.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
My experience has been nothing but the opposite. The complete OS runs much smoother and snappier than previous two versions. Yes xposed and tweakbox are yet to be optimized to work with the new OS but that is to be expected. Never have I had a reboot or single issue.

I have patience and will wait until other development catches up and I can use it.

Just like a new car which they haven't made a car cover that fits right on it, I'm not going to stop driving my car because I can not get a cover that fits it right.

Been here long enough to realize all development takes time, most of you where not here during the Eclair days and the whole froyo then gingerbread craziness. This ZV8 is almost perfection and with Titbu to debloat as I wish I'm pretty much set. If your looking for lighter debloated version try engine95 custom version of ZV8 Barepop.

My 2 cents.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Started with a Cupcake phone (Moto Devour), but skipped eclair from there and jumped to a Froyo phone (Moto Droid X). It took us forever to get CM7 GB working properly on the Froyo based DX. We're talking months and months and months before all the bugs were ironed out. Sadly, I had no idea how to properly use Git at the time and didn't submit work or save it on a repo of my own on github. It was all local and when my HDD burned out, all that was both eventually lost and unavailable to other people wanting to build CM based ROMs off of the base we had working so well.

Ok. For those having native hotspot issues; this it's what I found. After installing this ROM, I set up native hotspot using the ",dun" method. It worked flawlessly. Then I installed Xposed. This when my "more" button on settings stopped working. So, I installed a hotspot toggle widget from the Playstore, now I'm back in business. Have native hotspot working and Xposed working.

An interesting thing happened that I thought I'd report.

After a recent update of SuperUser and/or BusyBox, SmartLock stopped working reliably, and then today, it wouldn't work at all. So I went into settings, deleted and then reset the locations and devices that would unlock, rebooted and now it's working perfectly.

Don't know if it was a fluke or I actually fixed something, but thought it might be helpful.

WiFi Issues

All,

Just flashed this ROM and it's awesome. Everything is working for me with the exception of WiFi. I turn it on, everything is grayed out not icon on the status bar, then just shuts back off. Any ideas.

I flashed this twice with 2 separate downloads of the ROM with the same result..

Thanks in advance...
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Try doing ##UPDATE# in the dialer. That should fix it.

[Sprint LG G3] domcarreno:
Can we apply the oversharpening fix to this rom?
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
The only way to apply the oversharpening fix is to flash the corrected kernel. You need to check if they have a Lollipop kernel for the sprint variant on that thread.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] domcarreno:
i asked here since engine95 was the creator of Barrin as well which already had this added in. The oversharpening thread only has links to kk support.
[Sprint LG G3] Ragnar:
Understandable but Barrin a is KK. So he could bake that kernel in.

This being Lollipop you would have to compare to Barepop, I do not believe there is an (L) version yet.

Edfunkycold

Have a great day!
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Not yet. Trying to fix, what I think are Lollipop bugs. But it will be shortly.

Actually, Skin1980 has a script in the International thread for KK and L. You can use that.

BarRin and BarePop both have oversharpening fix set at "20". Use the script, not the kernel. It uses Aroma installer to apply it.
[Sprint LG G3] br0adband:
As noted above, the oversharpening script (version 3.5) works for the stock ZV8 ROM this thread is all about, I applied the script earlier when I installed the ROM and set it to disabled and everything looks fantastic on my G3.

I used the test page here and it looks spectacular with the oversharpening just flat out totally disabled - that's just on my G3, of course, and with my particular eyesight - as always, YMMV.
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Yes its rooted and no as far as I know this ROM is for the LS990 only which is a CDMA G3. This will not unlock your device. The ROMs aren't capable of changing your carrier and actually has nothing to do with the service provider. I have a Sprint LS990 that I flashed to Boost Mobile and now I pay $45 month for unlimited everything and 5gb 4g LTE data before throttling to 3g. Its awesome!!! I believe that carrier unlocking is what you're looking for. Hope that helps!

Is that all you did, just flash the ROM itself and nothing more but put in a GSM SIM card and go...

or was there more the process of getting working GSM/WCDMA functionality using this stock ZV8 L rooted ROM we're discussing?

If there's more to it, some of us would like to know, obviously.

Has anyone had any issues with the native wifi tethering (in settings, share)? Mine used to work good but haven't used it in awhile, now is saying that I don't have have a subscription for it.

Its also not in my settings, share anymore, good thing I made a shortcut of it. But still not working. Another thing, when I turn on the hotspot, after about 3 seconds it turns itself off and that window pops up saying I have no subscription.
[Sprint LG G3] Jeremy6820:
My hotspot capability got blocked too, although the option in the menu didn't disappear.
