Downloading and flashing now. Does this come with a new modem/firmware like ZV6 did?

Thanks for all your hard work on this!
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Not my day. Forgot to add that too. I'll update the OP. Modem and Kernel are included.

BTW. The modem doesn't seem to be backwards compatible. It works, but shows as "Unknown".
[Sprint LG G3] T10NAZ:
Edit: Its doing its thing. Thanks!

Im used to HTC devices so some things are new to me :P
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Sorry for the silly question but should there be any problem restoring my backup?? Just in case something goes wrong...
[Sprint LG G3] lim-popo:
No... There will be no any problem to restore it. JDI

Sim card

Doesn't recognize my gsm SIM card
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Just installed. Very smooth so far!
[Sprint LG G3] l_4Fhit_l:
I have the same problem. I feel like everything is being treated as an ext SD card and nothing will write.

I also had the same problem. I went the whole day without data today :laugh::laugh: :laugh: . PRL updates and reboots did me no good.
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
I'm also having a problem downloading things. Whenever I try it fails, whether it be the oversharpening zip or a simple image. Fails every time. Could be a deal breaker for me.
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
So I was looking at the files in the OTA update.zip and noticed everything has .p extension on it. Tried opening system_font.xml.p and can't read it. Googled p files and means they are "protected" and cannot be read/edited. WTF, some sort of lockdown. This can't be good
[Sprint LG G3] j.anderson618:
Lol, p means they are "patches"
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Just idle curiosity, has anyone used "adb pull", done a "dd if=/path.to/system of=/sdcard/system.img" or managed to open a TWRP backup of the system partition to start yanking files out for comparison and insertion into AOSP roms?

I started screwing with my TWRP backup today, but the system partition is REALLY weird once you cat all the files together and open it as a zip. It's a 2.1gb file that extracts to something like 15mb. Obviously, I'm missing something big here :)
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
dd is how I'm having to make the Roms. There are no more simple apks. libs and arm folders are attached to them.

What is it that you need? I'll do what I can.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
[MENTION=3053466]RandomPooka[/MENTION] In Linux, DL Archikitchen. Then use my system.img and boot.img. it'll break down the system.img into folders you might be able to work with.

It doesn't do much else though. Yet
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Yeah, that sounds far preferable to reflashing zv8 just to dd the system partition so I can get a filesystem on my PC.

I've been messing around with jholtom's blob utility for tracing dependencies and figuring out what proprietary files might need to be included in AOSP builds. It can't hurt. He got the VZW g2 working stable and quickly using it back in the day.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

That tool just requires a mirror of the /system filesystem to follow the calls made by apks and libs.
[Sprint LG G3] fredox19:
Is voicemate working for anyone
[Sprint LG G3] BreakingVZW:
Lol wtf. Sprint's rom is out for a day and has rooted stock flashable and I have had the 5.0 update on my AT&T LG G3 for over a week and we have nothing. Yaaaaaaaaaay =/
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
We were lucky enough to have a leaked tot file. This isn't pulled from the OTA zip
[Sprint LG G3] BreakingVZW:
I know. How was it rooted though? Modified KitKat kernel?
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
Wizardry. Beyond that, I'm not sure how engine95 (and others) pulled it off.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

I'm guessing that it was something like yanking the partitions from the tot, pushing them to the appropriate places via command line in recovery, flashing root in recovery after making sure it booted, then making a backup of the system partition and packaging it into a zip.

That might explain why I saw android's app optimization screen on first boot after a clean install of zv8
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Funny you should say that cause I remember sprint users were the last ones to get root and all the goodies when the G3 came out..
[Sprint LG G3] BreakingVZW:
Lol I know right? AT&T dropped it first and Sprint gets root first. Bizarro world.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Indubitably! I almost got the m8, engine having the g3 was my deciding factor in getting it. He's the man. We are all cogs in the machine but he made me far less apprehensive about future development for this device.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
We definitely were on the wait list for a lot longer. We still don't have a lot of things functioning in AOSP, either. Can't recognize the sim card, apn issues because of that. Our NFC doesn't work, Bluetooth only half works with some accessories. The Sprint G3 doesn't have the same hardware in it that other variants have, and Sprint has a weird way to connect to the network, or something. I vaguely recall reading a while back that it's a lot of Sprint devices with the SIM/APN problems, not just the G3.
[Sprint LG G3] BreakingVZW:
Lol Sprint has network issues because their network is a 6 square foot radius at the heart of major cities and cell signal bounces off their tower (singular) which is a guy hold a coat hanger bent at a 90 degree angle. ;)
[Sprint LG G3] jkcpsal:
Anyone else notice reboot not working? I haven't done the ##786# yet. Also can't download anything as well as have no data after I try to reboot, I power down and reboot and it's back
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
No, that's a signal strength issue. It's completely unrelated.
[Sprint LG G3] BreakingVZW:
Oh thanks for clearing that up. I obviously wasn't making a joke. smh
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
For those of you having data issues, try something for me.

In post #4, flash the rpm/tz partitions. Reboot and update profile/prl. Reboot again and give it some time to settle in. See if that helps. This is all based on clean installs.

The only caveat is, if you're still using kk roms they may not have data. If that's the case, then just flash the zv4/6 partitions.

Just make sure you read all of that post.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
It made me laugh, for the record. I like sprint but often have similar thoughts lol.
[Sprint LG G3] thedigitel:
Anyone else notice that color saturation is down on this release like it was on ZV6? ZV4 is still much more vibrant looking to my eyes. Going back for now unless there is a fix for ZV8. Yes, I have the sharpening mod installed.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Under settings->accessibilty-> is color adjustment still there? That's what I did originally on zv4 to play with color saturation.
[Sprint LG G3] thedigitel:
Yeah that's still there but it's not a real fix.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Idk then I thought saturation and contrast were both bunk on zv4. I just played with that til it looked better to me. Lol.
[Sprint LG G3] RandomPooka:
I know you were, I was in a literal mood when I replied.

And I got a laugh out of it either way
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
I went through TBP and found that I could restore sms/mms and only lost one day. No call logs, but that's ok. Might not mess with with My Backup anymore. TBP also restored messages with time stamps, MB doesn't.

MS:L

When calling sprint to get the MSL , what should I say?
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
So no one else knows what to make of the not being able to download anything bug?
[Sprint LG G3] fredox19:
I told them I had issues with wifi calling after a hard reset and they give it to me with no problem
[Sprint LG G3] FrankBooth86:
So I am not seeing a sprint boot up screen (I get the regular LG one and a new secondary one)

Everything seems to be working though, including wi-fi calling.

Do I still need to do that dialer reset?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
I would like to know if I need it as well?^^^^

What do you mean by not downloading anything? You mean apps or pics? or ??
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Apps download fine, but everything else just fails. Files or images on chrome, Zedge pictures or ringtones. Pretty much anything that downloads to internal storage fails every time.
[Sprint LG G3] Vidfreek:
Thats interesting, did you try re-downloading the rom and re-flashing? I have no issues at all with this, just used Zedge to test it out. I did have to do the SDFix to get my SD card writable and I used NextApp SDFix for that, worked great not sure if that might somehow fix this problem too?
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Just tried the nextapp thing, didn't work. I'll try redownloading and refreshing.
[Sprint LG G3] toolband92:
I was having this issue as well and for whatever reason the downloads folder on the int sd is locked or you can't change permissions (even through root explorer). I just changed went to browser settings , then advanced and scrolled down to the download storage option and changed it to sd card. Seems to have worked.
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
I could see how that would work, and I would do it but I'm a dedicated chrome user and plus that doesn't solve my problem with Zedge and other apps downloading, I just don't understand why I'm having this problem and others aren't. I made sure my md5 checks out on the download and everything. Everything else works fine, just this problem is keeping me from making it my DD.
[Sprint LG G3] caballon:
multiroom

can this room can be use as a internal base in multiroom!!!!
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
Need Help

Flashed this rom. With the addtional zip files and it just hangs at the LG screen. any ideas? Yes I did a clean wipe. Was using Euphiora rom before this.

Also when it gets to the end of the flash, the screen fuzzy out then the recomvery screen comes back up

Forgot to flash the modem. Should I flash the modem and then the rom?
[Sprint LG G3] rAndroid3:
I fix it, but I dunno if it will work for you, make a wipe/data/cache/system/dalvik and install the ROM , and make a wipe/data/cache. Restart.

That worked for me, don't lose nothing to try.

[MENTION=774801]shaun0207[/MENTION] Try this.

Otherwise, which recovery version are you using?
[Sprint LG G3] j.anderson618:
Can't wait for a custom lollipop kernel!
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:

[Sprint LG G3] rAndroid3:
Ah good, i flashed the ROM, and after I flashed mixer n prop. Good to know it's working now.
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
Thank you very much for the help. Just going through the rom now and I Dont see many changes
[Sprint LG G3] rAndroid3:
You're right, but it's smooth and fast and I know that developmers are going to make a great job with this ROM.

Can't wait to see xposed fully workings on 5.0
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
I saw a post that Xposed was released for the 5.0 http://www.slashgear.com/xposed-framework-lollipop-update-released-to-public-13369044/
[Sprint LG G3] mrj0087:
I'm having the issue as well, tried the next app but no luck :\
[Sprint LG G3] Vidfreek:
Its an Alpha right now, I'd probably wait for something like that to get more stable first. I honestly never use Xposed and havent really found a need to, so I'm not too worried :)
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
I'm just trying to see if this is a consistent bug across the build, so I know whether or not to try and redownload the ROM, because I already did and the md5 checks out, can't imagine downloading it again will change anything. Everything else is working perfectly.
[Sprint LG G3] jkcpsal:
I have the same downloads issue, not sure if it could be related but no Sprint boot also. It seems like it is treating internal storage like ext sd cards were treated possibly because the folder structure gets really convoluted, storage-emulated- legacy, sd card0, all get me to the same place although emulated shows I have much less space
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
No Sprint bootani just lgs but everything it's working proper like

Thanks great job
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
Thank you
[Sprint LG G3] rAndroid3:
I try this one but in my phone, didn't worked. Its an Alpha yet.

I miss G3tweaks :crying:
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
For everyone having the Bootani issue, did you flash Z8 mixer and RPM and partitions from Post #2 & 4? I flashed everything back to back and then rebooted the systems After updating the PRL, and Profile, I entered my Gmail information tapped wifi-calling and it did a self-dianostic and installed then installed the wifi-calling perfectly. 2mins later all the sprint boot stuff started downloading . Maybe you guys should try my method,
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
All I know is I can't wait for someone to find a fix. I'm gonna miss using chrome.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

I don't have a boot animation, but literally everything else works. Did doing all this fix downloading to internal sd for you? If so I'll do it.
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
I just opened Chrome, went to facebook and just downloaded a friend on mines picture and it worked fine. Waiting for TB to finish reinstalling my apps now. What else are you trying to download and I will try it?
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Like anything, man. I can't even download a picture of a cat from google images using chrome.
[Sprint LG G3] shaun0207:
Just went to google now and pulled up pics of the walking dead to download. works fine. Only thing I notices it TB is taking forever to restore apps.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Don't worry if you don't get the Sprint boot animation. That's probably because you had BarRin installed or another bootani.

As long as you have WiFi calling, all is good.

Those of you with SD issues, are you restoring with Titanium? Or another backup.

DO not restore anything. Start out clean. Remember, this is a brand new OS.

There are over 1000 DL's already, and only a few of you are having issues. Something tells me its from restoring.

I'm having zero issues with everything I've thrown at it. I don't use TiVo or Chromecast though so I can't help there.
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
I'm not using TB, or restoring anything, it's just the downloading to internal storage I'm having. I'm gonna try Shaun's method and if it works I'd suggest throwing it in OP.
[Sprint LG G3] jkcpsal:
Yeah no restoring here either. When I get home I will back up my internal storage so I can wipe it to hopefully clear up any leftover folder structures and hopefully all will be well
[Sprint LG G3] Lookuhs:
I had trouble downloading from chrome but I installed SELinux Mode Changer and set it to permissive. Problem solved.
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Holy crap, that worked. Thank you sir!
[Sprint LG G3] Visionikz03:
Battery life is incredible! I streamed Bluetooth for about 4 hours... Better than kit Kat hands down.
[Sprint LG G3] jkcpsal:
Nice, was just backing everything ready to try downloading and flashing again when I saw the post about selinux. Worked perfectly. thanks
[Sprint LG G3] Trident:
So far, other than a few F/Cs when not everything was installed yesterday, this is spectacular. I only restored messages (data), no apps.

No mods done yet, but I'm curious to see if I get any sdcard issues when I install XCam or other apps. So far none.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
I can't speak for engine and I had zero to do with this but still glad people are enjoying it. I've been far too quiet lately and that's about to change. I miss this place(xda) even tho it can be frustrating. More development is coming......
[Sprint LG G3] mrj0087:
yeah I restored a barin rom v3 then flashed the lollipop version. but before I did I went head and wiped delvick/cache/data/..etc. no ext or int wipe and it's giving me the sd card problem

[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
This is interesting and Thanks for a fix for some people. Meaning not everyone needs it.

Im guessing we're back to, or still have our SD issues.

I'll need to look into the platform.xml and see if I need to apply that fix again. It still won't help with preexisting SD issues. But it may help with keeping sd working after a format. I just hate using extra apps. I'm a minimalist with my phone.
[Sprint LG G3] majedalanni:
Any idea why sprint zone said you have update version LRX21Y on this rom???
[Sprint LG G3] nwsteeze:
Did you do anything to the kernel settings? I'm running the stock settings and don't get near the life you do.
[Sprint LG G3] The_Big_H:
So I updated to TWRP 2.8.5.0 (2.8.0.0 previously), flashed the Z8 ROM and went through setup. I didnt have any data, so I rebooted, flashed the modem and rpm/tz partitions and all seems good now. Befrore I had zero data (network, wifi, nothing). I will let you know if I see any changes.
[Sprint LG G3] unrly:
Thank you! Everything is working great here. Came from ZV6, did a clean flash, and restored a backup from TB. Mistake, as you mentioned here. I ended up overwriting the Wifi Calling apps and had to ##786#, now all is well.
[Sprint LG G3] ssmercurys:
The only thing I've seen is my WiFi calling is strange at times. Sometimes it will disconnect and sit at enabling service and eventually fail. I don't use this much though so not sure if it's a WiFi thing or not.

It doesn't do this all the time though so I'm guessing a WiFi issue.

I agree about the battery life. Its pretty amazing. Way better than KK.
[Sprint LG G3] HikariNoKitsune:
I seem to have an odd issue.

I've done a complete clean install, wiped everything multiple times, flashed, reflashed, followed instructions to a T. But this seems INSANELY laggy. Pulling down the notification menu takes several seconds as it stutters down. Typing is almost impossible because after you hit more than 3 keys, it lags and wont accept further input until you wait for it to 'unfreeze'. The signal strength meter doesn't display what sort of connection I have (3G or 4G), and nothing 'google related' works. I go to the play store, and it just crashes. I try to open gmail, it crashes. I go to check the accounts settings page, and it shows errors on everything. Not a single clue what's going on... Think I'll just wait for someone to release a 'semi-stock' version... Could have greatly done without the bloatware that once you uninstall them, they just get reinstalled next time you reboot.

Edit:

Ok... that's weird.. few minutes after posting this, things seem to have 'settled'. Play Store works, gmail works, txting works. Still no signal indicator (it shows my signal strength, just still no 'service type'). Lagging seems to have died down abit, but still there. And, idk if its just me, but is the DPI changed dramatically?? Things seem so gigantic...
[Sprint LG G3] prowlingfox:
I remember thinking when I first installed it, "wow, I need to change the DPI" and so I did. So it wasn't just you.
[Sprint LG G3] HikariNoKitsune:
May sound kinda silly.. but what method did you use to change the DPI? I've never really had issues with ROMs seeming to have this large of icons before, so i've never had to change it XD
[Sprint LG G3] chewy4x4:
Can I use the KK Vanair apn fix on this. It might be a dumb question but I seem to have worse coverage now than before (and I'm fairly close to my man holding the coat hanger for my area)

QUICK HELP NEEDED

After flashing the zip I got stuck at LG logo bootloop. Can someone help?

I was able to restore my backup since the rom was not booting.
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
Same here..
[Sprint LG G3] HikariNoKitsune:
Haven't had an issue in signal strength being worse. I'm in the same boat as the last guy: my strength seems to have improved.

But, as a side note.. You do know that living closer to a tower means worse reception right? The transmitters work like an umbrella. They start high up and move closer to the ground the farther they travel. Only real upside to living closer to a tower means that your battery life improves because the cellphone doesn't have to boost its output signal to reach the tower. You should be able to transmit data alot better, but you'll receive data alot slower than most.

I live almost a mile from a two towers equally. When here, i download files from my google drive stupidly slow, but when i upload the same file, it goes 4 times as fast. But, once i get in my car and drive off about another mile, suddenly my downloads are faster. and the uploads are about even with downloads. When i first read about the way signal towers actually worked, i got curious and tested things XD was wonderfully fun seeing the varied results.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Thanks, I'll give things a shot. I haven't gotten a circle case (though i greatly want one) but i just can't find one that supports both NFC and the wireless charging. I dont have a wireless charging dock, but if i were to find a case supporting both, i'd quickly snatch up a dock. I'm quite often sitting at a desk, so it'd come in great use.

But, until i find such a thing, i'll give these dpi changers a shot.
