Hi all,

Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.

GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.

Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!

GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)

LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")

LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")

LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")

LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")

LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")

LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")

LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")

LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")

LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")

LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")

LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")

LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")

LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")

LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")

A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

UPDATE LEVEL: MAJOR / IMPORTANCE: VERY HIGH

CHANGELOG:

Oh god, have I abandoned this thread this long? So many changes, sorry, I can't list them all.

A lot of things are now even better than ever. Trust me.

[#GLKITKATCOMMONUPDATE]
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
EMERGENCY NOTICE, etc.

For some unknown reason I cannot access my DevDB variables at this time. Though G Flex is not on the list of supported devices right now, it IS supported.

* For those who have waited for a long time, sorry for being late, and thank you very much.
[LG G Flex] dmifsud44:
Will we see a port to d959 ever? If so and you need a tester pm me!

EDIT: For those wanting to try it did install, but very few bloat was actually removed and no gomdo apps were installed.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
I'm not sure yet, but it may not be necessary. Because gomdolight is a large-scale patch mainly focusing on script-driven features, just three of system apks are overwritten:

- /system/framework/framework-res.apk

- /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk

- /system/priv-app/LGCameraApp.apk

Camera should be compatible for all variants, and only the FRAMEWORK RESOURCE and the SYSTEM UI might have compatibility issue.

You can first take a Nandroid backup, and try installing GomdoLight all the way to the end over your stock firmware, and see if it boots (and operates without crashes)

For model selection just choose LG-F340K.

1) If it works well: CONGRATULATIONS! You have fully-working GomdoLight.

2) If it fails: Restore Nandroid, and reinstall GomdoLight. However this time choose the 4TH option for battery percentage indicator. (Do not change) This options leaves both framework-res and SystemUI unchanged, so it will work 100%.
[LG G Flex] podagee:
Wheres the download?
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
in the download/manual page. section 10. (see the first post) be sure to read the installation guide.
[LG G Flex] Maikeu Locatelli:
I installed in my d-958, well, some force closes in the settings, app manager and gallery sometimes, but everything else, at least the main functions, works well
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
do they CONSISTENTLY force close by certain actions? or just randomly?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I'm downloading now and will test it for the D95920s firmware. T-Mobile D959 on the latest KitKat 4.4.2 D95920s. Will report back later. I need my phone till at least 4pm central time so I can reach my son but I'll flash after that.
[LG G Flex] felacio:
This intrigues me. Sprint supported? I don't feel like dealing with force closes mentioned in previous post in different variant.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
good luck. if it crashes revert to stock via nandroid backup and reinstall gomdolight, this time choosing the 4th option (do not overwrite the status bar) with battery percentage indicator.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
probably. the script set is practically compatible with all current LGE devices with JB or KK. only few apks should be troublesome.

if not sure, choose not to change the status bar during installation. then it will not overwrite both framework-res and systemui.
[LG G Flex] podagee:
Gonna try it on my d950

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

Mahh nothing different.... install went perfect,so far no force closes. What is this supposed to be? I dont see any difference. I used the f340u+. Nothing special going on with this. Restoring my back up now.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
Don't you see messages like 'GomdoLight: System starting up'?

You usually don't see visible differences after installing GomdoLight, especially on non-Korean firmware, since it does not know what apps to debloat. You would have to debloat the system yourself. However its extensive startup script set provides very unique and useful functions. These functions are explained in the simplified user manual that is automatically displayed after installing. If you did not see the manual opening, and if you do not see the startup messages either, probably something is wrong.
[LG G Flex] podagee:
I seen all the startups and everything. Gomdo warning of superuser, a major lag on my phone for abot 3-5 minutes of lag. It only uninstalled vutalj. I honestly havent noticed anything special. I even tried it with that status bar selection and it went through fine.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
gomdolight's optimizations are not much visually noticable, without drastic changes. if you expect a whole new experience this is not your type of rom.

or, you could install another stock-based rom that will bring significant changes, and install gomdolight over it (without status bar selection) to further aid with its performance.

think gomdolight as a special tool to streamline and 'properly' reorganize the stock firmware (or, stock-based roms). changes are not noticable at first sight, but they surely benefit the user somehow in the long run, and give you better control and (sometimes) superior disaster handling capabilities.

anyway, thank you for letting me know that selecting LGU+ model increases compatibility with non-Korean firmwares.
[LG G Flex] podagee:
Okay. I will reinstall again and run it for a while to see its benefits. Thanks
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
the built-in user manual explains some of its advantages... take a look at it, especially the section for what is called gomdolight flags. :)

At last some working KK custom rom..

Will try it..
[LG G Flex] DracoPiece:
how can i flash this? via lg flash tool?
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
no, gomdolight is quite different from other roms, so read the manual carefully. everything is explained there.

in summary:

1) install the latest kitkat stock firmware (if you'r not on stock)

2) root

3) install custom recovery

4) flash gomdolight, done.
[LG G Flex] DracoPiece:
how can i flash this? i've been downloading f340k v20d kdz. how can i flash this on custom recovery?

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

is the f340k v20d cse is the official stock roms or what?
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
that's the right one. if you're already on stock v20d, you're just good to go.

however if you're not, you need to flash v20d first. (using a kdz tool, e.g. lg flash tool 2014)

v20d firmware file (kdz) is provided in the manual.
[LG G Flex] DracoPiece:
oh nice . thank you so much for confirmation i've been searching for stock kitkat kdz of my f340k. i will try the rom in the next few days
[LG G Flex] Karo.:
does it work on d958 international version?
[LG G Flex] mengfei:
will this work the the Japanese version of Flex L23 with all functionality?

thanks.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
i'm not sure, but you can just try, since you already have a fully-functional custom recovery. take a nandroid backup before trying.
[LG G Flex] daminux:

Problem

Hello,

I can't download the file yet. Could you please upload on Google Drive or other place? When I click at the "GomdoLight Download / Manual Page", the webpage doesn't load :(
[LG G Flex] spyne82:
Hi there. Stupid question. Will this work with european model of G Flex (D955) too? Thanks for awnsers:o
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
please check : http://gomdolight.com - if english manual or download links are inaccessible, refer to the korean manual for download.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
not a stupid question, i would like to know too. in other words, i'm not sure, and you should try it yourself. (and because the system will not be debloated by the gomdolight installer, you should debloat it yourself)
[LG G Flex] daminux:
Still wont load
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
does http://gomdolight.com not work? NOT the download page link on the first post
[LG G Flex] hieutthh:
Yup! I've tried Godomlight.com either download page link on the #1 post, can not be load!
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
okay, i moved the english manual to the separate server, go to http://gomdolight.com/?page_id=518 !

[LG G Flex] juniecho:
UPDATE - Wave 2, revision 9

UPDATE LEVEL: MAJOR / IMPORTANCE: CRITICAL

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

Use the clear.root flag to unroot before upgrading if you're rooted (IMPORTANT)

You can always re-root using the enable.root flag (SEE http://gomdolight.flags.usage.gomdoli.us for details)

You do not need to revert to stock, but choose the 'FRESH INSTALLATION' option at the Installer's main menu even though you're actually upgrading. (You will go through the reconfiguration process)

CHANGELOG:

Greatly improved GomdoLight Engine scripts

Added support for a new flag: reboot.recovery - reboots into recovery environment (automatically into 2nd-init recovery if installed)

Added support for a new flag: auto.install.xposed.framework - automatically schedule installation of Xposed framework when the Xposed Installer app is installed but the Xposed Framework is not.

Improved stability and battery efficiency

Automatically restores GomdoLight Engine functionality when GomdoLight Engine can't be initialized

Removed IM+ from the Update Center

Added 'LG Tag+', and 'Privilege Terminal' to the Update Center

'Update Center' components updated

(G2, Gpro, Vu3, Gflex) Now the clock/date indicator shown when the status bar is expanded will NOT do anything if you click on it, instead of taking you to the Date/Time Settings screen.

(G2, Gpro2, G3, G3A, G3cat6, Gflex) Now you can choose between stock navbar thickness and reduced (by about 25%) navbar thickness

(Gpro2, G3, G3cat6, Gflex) Better DualWindow (SplitWindow) app support

(G3, G3A, G3cat6) Improved QuickRemote (Q Remote), now you can control some air conditioners and audio systems.
[LG G Flex] Djentgod:
Works on 955 with just 2 little bugs!

Hello,

I can confirm that it works, but i have 2 bugs! (i choosed the U+ variant in the installer and i have an European 955 too)

1. My brightness sensor is not working anymore (now i need to set it manuelly, but it works on calls)

2. When i go to appmanagment and click on an app to delete the cache it force cloce settings.

But thats totally fine for me, the battery and performance is really much better now but a fix would be great! :D
[LG G Flex] Murshad007:
Can some one post installation instructions here for new instalation in Stock rom?
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
UPDATE - Wave 4, initial release

UPDATE LEVEL: MAJOR / IMPORTANCE: CRITICAL

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

Revert to stock firmware first, then perform a fresh install

CHANGELOG:

Too many improvements to list here.

Tons of bugfixes.
[LG G Flex] juniecho:
For the newest 4.0, you have to fallback to STOCK first, and then do a FRESH INSTALL.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StLewi:
My WiFi is intermittently disconnecting when my device is asleep. I wake it up and the WiFi is often 'disconnected', but connects automatically once it's awake.

When I wake my phone, there's no WiFi connection and there's a little '?' next to the mobile signal icon - but when I wake it up, the WiFi connects and the '?' on the mobile signal disappeared.

'Keep WiFi on during the sleep' is toggled to 'always', so I really can't understand why it's doing this.

I've had Lollipop for about a month now, but it's only started happening today. I've 'forgot' the network, restarted the device and reconnected, but it's still dropping out when my phone's asleep.

I've been having this issue as well. I've contacted google and they've sent me three replacements. Same issue on all of them.

I thought it could be my router, but this isn't happening to any of my other 8 devices. I also see this problem when I'm on different Wifi in different locations. They're getting a specialist to look into my case now :confused:

Same issue in Marshmallow

Well ever since i updated to Marshmallow i am facing this on my N5.

First i thought its because defult battery optimization that comes with this. So i removed "Google connectivity service" from optimization but it din't help.

"Keep wifi on during sleep" flag is set to 'always' as you guys..

Can't say bug or feature but its annoying..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0wiz0o:
I managed to root the Note 3 with CF- Root. Currently on 4.4.2 EE. That was easy. I then installed CWM and it advised I needed to update the app which I do. If I then ask it to make a back up it reboots in to recovery but does not appear to do anything? If I then reboot the device the App's all crash one at a time. The only way to resolve is to wipe/Factory reset.

I am not sure what I have done wrong here? This is not a boot loop....It just bombs the current rom. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0wiz0o:
Nothing? No advice? As this is not a boot loop searching has not really helped.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
Who do you ask to make a backup ? Which app have you installed ? Cwm Rom manager ? Did you even install cwm recovery within the app ? If you updated the app, with that you didn't install the recovery.

You must power off your phone and reboot to recovery with the 3 button combo. Then, when in recovery, make a backup (if you have a custom recovery installed ?). Don't use any "boot to recovery and make a backup" apps or such, it can screw things up.

But my advice, install the latest twrp recovery. Definitely better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0wiz0o:
Thankyou for taking the time to answer.

Yes I installed clockwork Mod. It said it was installing Cwm and offered the option to reboot and make a current backup. Which it then seems to fail. I see no manual option to make a back either when in the boot menu.

I'll try twerp and see what happens. I used to use Cwm a long time ago on a first gen galaxy and it was great. Something is just amiss this time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
Yeah, it didn't install cwm recovery, otherwise you would have the option to backup. Stock recovery doesn't have that option.

Last time i checked, this cwm manager wasn't the best option to manage your backups and restores. The 3 button combo to boot into recovery and then make a backup or restore is the way to go.

I too had problems with cwm in the past, but then i went for twrp and all is good. Plus, imo, it has a nicer touch interface.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:
That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvveith:
Has some bugs.

Yes it does indeed hide the nav bar on the programs you want it to but it has many undesired side effects. Mainly, not being able to call up the keyboard when needed after clicking a text entry point. You have to swipe up to expose the Nav bar and then it will show. Also, some games won't even launch unless you first swipe up the nav bar to launch game. Also if you are using a custom launcher, and you use a dock with a folder editor program, the shortcuts will not appear until you swipe up the nav bar. Some programs like Pandora and Maps do not display correctly and will be distorted until you expose the Nav bar. I have had the Pro version for months and the developer has not offered any update to it at all, so buyer beware. Cheap enough not to be to upset but it's not a perfect solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelias2k:
Hello,

I've had 4 phones stolen from my store during a break-in and one of them is still configured with our account, so I can install software through the Play Store. I also have the Life360 locator activated.

But even with these features the police can't seem to find reason to look into it.

Is there a way for me to install any software/app that can either record conversations or take/upload pictures from the people who stole it?

I'd like to recover the phones, especially since my insurance won't pay for them.

Thanks in advance.
