[Verizon LG G2] 9646gt:
Does changing to nova launcher prevent the weather animations on lock screen from working? Because I haven't exactly seen them work yet and I don't have xposed installed. Also how is battery life for everyone? Every time I flash this ROM I get crappy battery. But same usage on aosp or cm12 I get stellar battery life. Would also be great if Dev would give us a list of all the apps that were removed:)
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Lockscreen animations never worked for me even when using the stock launcher. Also my battery life got much better after using xposed with greenify and a couple other modules. Averaged 4 1/2 to 5 hours screen on time on auto brightness
[Verizon LG G2] 9646gt:
Did you test the animations on the non debloated version by chance? Also can you provide details on which other closed modules you used? Of animations don't work I might as well install xposed to save on battery lol. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon LG G2] 9646gt:
Just wanted to confirm that luck screen animations do work using nova launcher
[Verizon LG G2] ang1dust:
I went back to stock to give this phone to my girl friend, I'm on att and have been using cm12 based roms before getting HSPA data via GSM. after installing this I get radio but no data. I have the SIM card icon with the question mark. It also has the greyed out data icon of an H meaning HSPA. I set the APN but it did nothing. Any ideas on how to get data on this wrong or do I need to go back to a generic LG g2 ROM?

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

after multiple reboots I finally got data to work on HSPA but I still have the icon of a SIM card and a?.
[Verizon LG G2] 9646gt:
I have never paid attention to how long a fresh install takes to boot. I just did a complete wipe (data,cache,dalvik,system and internal storage) and flashed 39a bootstack and ROM so I can get my sensors and things all working again. But it has been sitting at the Verizon boot screen for a really long time with the led pulsing. how long should I be expecting to wait? Maybe I did something wrong but never had this issue before with a clean wipe I don't think.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I never really timed it, but about 10 minutes or so...
[Verizon LG G2] sydtrakked:
Every time I try to download this Mega says there is a temporary error and it says it's attempting to retry the download but it doesn't do anything. Is there another mirror or anywhere else I can download this ROM from?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You using the app?
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
Great ROM guys! I am experiencing something odd and wondering if anyone else has or is...

Everything works fine, but when I place a call, I cannot hear anyone and they cannot hear me unless the phone is on speaker. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Verizon LG G2] biggiesmalls657:
Yes I have the same issue but only after a while of talking on the phone.

I was going to flash another Rom to see if that fixed it but I'm not sure yet.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I get this sometimes, but only because I'm with T-Mobile!!! :D Move to another area of house and it works good.

Does your mic work on another rom? Maybe mic bad on phone.
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION], the mic was working fine on the XDABebbs ROM...not really sure what is causing the issue. If I try to talk through the mic, there's no response...

I found online that other with VZW are having the issue on Lollipop.

<EDIT> Here's a link to what I am talking about.

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/4...-5-0-lollipop-bugs-and-performance-issues.htm

Thoughts?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Were u using his G3 rom port to G2? I was working on a LP G3 port that has the same mic issue. That made me abondon it. I ended up doing a kdz to 39a. Try that n see.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Is your G3 LP port altogether abandoned or just for now?
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION], I was using his debloated kk ROM. I'm going to flash your debloated lollipop and see if that fixes it
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Try MicroMod's xtreme 1.1 rom. It's the same as the debloated but with a couple subtle but practical tweaks and for me just works better.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I abandoned it. Didn't feel like messing with it. Though the camera app on the G3 is so much better.
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
So no dice guys, flashed both [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] ROMs and still no working mic on phone calls...

I googled it and a lot of people are having it on lollipop...anyone else have any ideas on a fix?

Thanks in advance dev!
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
I wonder if it's device specific in some way? I haven't the slightest clue. My mic works great on all lollipop roms. I'm currently running this one and I make several rather lengthy calls every day without a single issue. Wish I could help.
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
I really appreciate all the help guys, I am trying one last thing...clean flashing [MENTION=950509]xdabe[/MENTION]bbs I had before. Just to see if the mic works there.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Was there anything specific that happened when this first took place? Did you have advanced calling activated at all? I heard that is nothing but trouble. Also have you flashed any sound enhancement zips or edited mixer paths? Something like this has to have a cause as this must be an effect of some change and/or action! I once messed up editing mixer_paths.xml and lost my mic but a kdz was a quick fix. Only other thing I can think of is a hardware issue at this point but if it works on kitkat I am at a loss. Can you think back to when you first realized the mic was inoperable?
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
Its crazy, it worked fine on [MENTION=950509]xdabe[/MENTION]bb ROM. All I did was flash this ROM and load my contacts. I'm lost.
[Verizon LG G2] :
It very well could be. While I was digging through the source trying to find if they listed the sound registers, I saw one of the files probes a min/max impedence for things, it could be that some people's are out of tolerance. Not sure if they changed the threshholds in lollipop though... I'd check, but it didn't matter to me at the time so I didn't really pay attention to the file.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Maybe thats exactly what it is. Maybe some vs980's made by or before a certain period have a different tolerance or something. I know my device is newer as I had screen issues and received a new device back in September and mine has never (knock on wood) had any issue with the mic. Also I have never had issues with echoing on certain roms even when others were complaining about it. Strange that they would make the same devives different.
[Verizon LG G2] :
Me either, and Ive had mine since ... ****, 6 months after it came out?

BTW, There's a chatroom.... irc, freenode, #xda-devs.... if anyone's ever bored.
[Verizon LG G2] vt.thomaso:
[MENTION=6089420]schwem[/MENTION] thanks for the help, I got a replacement from VZW and the mic works perfect. Just flashed this ROM again and everything works perfectly! Thanks for all the help and for all the handwork [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] put into this ROM!
[Verizon LG G2] tonochito:
Noob question, can it be installed on LS980?
[Verizon LG G2] :
Can a stock based rom from the vs980 ota be used on something else?

No... Probably not.
[Verizon LG G2] tonochito:
I don't know that's the reason i asked because as in kitkat there are a lot of roms that can be installed on any of the variants like Cloudy i was thinking that i could be installed in the ls980
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
No but sprint just released lollipop for the G2 so why don't use kdz it, root it and debloat it yourself? It's the same firmware basically!
[Verizon LG G2] :
Cloudy was built off the international rom, which is what have it the vast compatability it had... Which is also the reason that vs980 users always had bugs with it.
[Verizon LG G2] tonochito:
Well actually dear mate, is not so easy as it sound i mean, it needs to be on stock rom without root, download the update zip (in my case it didn't show up as ota) after that it takes around 20 minutes (i hate lollipop updates they are so long) i had an m7 and lawd it takes so much time here, are 149 apps that need to be updated. After that it needs to be rooted well is very easy buti for the simcard unlock method with the ota disappears and i was doing in the wrong way, almost all post of unlocking says just "copy" the carpets and for a reason that i don't know if those folders are just copied the unlocking does not work, they need to be erased and it is weird the 2 folders that are already has the same thing that the one from unlocking method. And after all of that i found that there is no hotspot funcion and i asked another member in Spain and he says the same thing, also i have checked root explorer and there is no folder related with hotspot. In Kitkat it was on the options of more but now is gone. So that's the reason that i was looking a stock based rom, but also it seems that with this update there is no twrp i tried the AutorRec and what i get was the boot security method, other users seems that have the same problem and it seems that devs are preparing the twrp recovery so for now there is no way to flash custom roms or nothing,

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

actually i was thinking in flash it because it's very annoying not to have a tot file and have to going back to kitkat in order to update, and for no reason with lollipop there is no hotspot option
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Sounds like you need to be talking to people in the sprint G2 threads as us VS980 users don't have any of the issues you're talking about! Sorry
[Verizon LG G2] tonochito:
yes i did for the moment everything is working fine but with no native hotspot :eek: does the Verizon has one?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Yes it does
[Verizon LG G2] tonochito:
Could you give me the apk to try if tworks here?
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:

Did this on wife's phone and found a funny glitch - any time a pic is open facebook app shows that pic for a brief second before force closing the app. Stock runs fine. Any idea what might be causing this? I didn't freeze anything else on this rom
[Verizon LG G2] Masterx9:
This is a rooted stock image correct?
[Verizon LG G2] cuteq:

[Verizon LG G2] cuteq:
Hi. maybe you still have that rom - can you please share it? please send new link if possible. old link is dead(
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
@cuteq

No, sorry. I haven't had this phone for quite a while.
[Verizon LG G2] cuteq:
Understood. Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Cool. I wish Google Translate worked better though.

I already had the boot image before I found the guide, but I had no clue about the modem.

Great job on the guide though. I may try it out later when I get some time.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I used to have that issue but don't have it on the ota. I had this issue on cloudy g2. When I'd go under the blankets and try to turn it on it would shut off right away again. But now it stays on. I thought there was a setting for it but I can't seem to find it, it should say something like prevent accidental screen on. It uses the proximity sensor to see if the phones in your pocket so it doesn't accidentally turn on so I guess completely dark room emulates your pocket :p

[Verizon LG G2] DoctorB0NG:
Both IMS and consequently advanced calling are borked on this build likely due to the modified baseband.

I have looked and tried every possible setting. Any other suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] jin5:
the rear notification stays off, if you turn off the notification lights all together . (just turning off the rear light doesn't do it)

i've reverted to my backup, but i'll wait patiently for a fully working build or kdz. it does run great.
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Press down somewhat hard at the top left edge of the screen where the sensor is.
[Verizon LG G2] Nugg14:
Thanks for the suggestion but no luck. This problem has had me stumped on all stock lollipop roms I've tried on this phone. I'm beginning to wonder if it's an issue with just my sensors or phone only? If any others that have the problem lmk so I feel better and can determine if my phone only...lol
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
The following is what I did.

Rebooted to recovery

Backed up whole Rom

Wiped everything but internal storage x2

Flashed the vs98039a test 3 zip with the modified boot.omg

Flashed bouchiga busybox and init.d support zip

Flashed updatesuperuser 2.46

Flashed debloater_lg_g2_39a-extra

Rebooted until fully booted

Setup my phone

Checked my signal

Rebooted to recovery and flashed signalfix. Zip

Rebooted and all is well. Only one issue i cant seem to disable sim with question mark.

Anyone know if xposed will work under 39a with the lgtweakbox mod?
[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
Does the modded mobile hotspot app for 27A also work on this rom/39A?
[Verizon LG G2] JDROIDS:
[MENTION=5556366]tsjanda[/MENTION] Tweaksbox didn't work for me but G2 gravitybox worked. Make a backup and give it a shot. I'm currently using it now and everything works well.
[Verizon LG G2] dtomlin:
No it doesn't, but xdabbeb said he'd look at modding the one for 39a this weekend if he has time.
[Verizon LG G2] NyPlaya513:
yea ill wait for the kdz because of things like this...
[Verizon LG G2] koftheworld:
Does anyone mind posting the radio?

[Verizon LG G2] lonestarranger:
I'm on XDABEBB's VS98026A KK. Want to upgrade to stock LP through this method.

How exactly do I flash 27a bootstrap/bootstack if I'm on KK?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Flash in recovery then reboot recovery it may say you're not rooted. Just hit ignore and recovery will reboot. Then do normal wipe everything except internal and flash rom and supersu zip and you're good to go
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You already have it. It's in the 39A zip. It's called "modem.img", but I don't what see else you'd need it for, other than this Rom...
[Verizon LG G2] lonestarranger:
Thsnks schwem! Much appreciated. I'm now on stock LP 5.0.2 :D (I had TWRP 2.8 recovery).

I'm liking it so far. Any links to the debloater to remove all the VZW crap?
[Verizon LG G2] jjosph:
Do I still need to flash the 39 modem if I'm on xenonhd ROM 5.0.2?

It's in alpha so don't expect to much yet. Besides reading the whole xposed OP, you should read "the other thread" and if you do a search for module, you'll find a post that has a link to a thread on what modules work, don't work, and if they will be updated.

To get xposed to work on this, read here.

Oh yeah, you might have to use a module in alpha or beta to get what you want.

And this is the last I'll mention xposed here since it should have it's own thread.
[Verizon LG G2] davebeneteau:
Proximity Sensor seems to be acting up on my phone while I am on a call. I havent had any problems with pushing buttons with my face on other versions, but this rom seems to do it a lot?

Any good ideas on how to fix this?

(Sorry if this should be in general, I thought maybe it might be a bug)

thanks

[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Mine seems normal but there's bound to be more bugs as it still an experimental Rom, not using full vs980 sources.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Can somebody try this out? It's the fix for the Hotspot.

It seems to be working on my phone, but I want to see what other's results are.

Here is the fix, just flash it in twrp: http://www.mediafire.com/download/r158d9qeha8re97/Hotspot_Fix_VS980-39A.zip

EDIT:

Just so everyone knows, I was able to accomplish this mod by looking at the previous mod by the orignator of the hotspot hack/mod [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION], and applying the same concept to the new apk. Feel free to thank him as we wouldn't have this without him.
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
Works for me. Thanks!

I can confirm this works. Tethered on my laptop now and tested on an old phone I use for the kids and was able to stream videos on netflix. thank you for this!
[Verizon LG G2] puothy:
Charging

I have been on this ROM for about 18 hours and everything seems functional.....thank you all for your work! I have noted that charging time seems to be pretty slow and was not sure if others have experienced the same thing. I pulled a log and can add to my post if that is useful.
[Verizon LG G2] waleedshiekh:
+1

Same issue with me. It's fully functional for me also after flashing Hotspot Fix, but charging speed is extremely slow. It would be great if there is some solution for that also. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
I don't think it will be that useful as this is not a true ROM, in the sense that it will be maintained. It's a leaked version that was modified for us to have root - to play around with - to see what we can look forward to when it's official.

Reaad above.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Well this may be the closest thing we get to an "official" Rooted Stock Lollipop rom for Verizon.

I am unsure the G3 has rooted Lollipop yet (or able to root on lollipop).

I am pretty positive that the notification LED and the charging speeds are both controlled via the kernel. If I remember correctly the STOCK roms are VERY picky about the right charger/cable. There is a SUPER long thread about this which basically says it will drop the speeds down to USB (slow charging) if it doesn't see the right voltage, which was determined that the cables had to be the stock LG USB 3.0 and 24awg I believe.

I have always slow charged on pretty much everything except the actual official USB cable that came with the G2 while using the stock rom. So this is probably NORMAL behavior. The only way to test is to flash the OTA and compare.

The backlight LED notification light is weird but unnecessary... but it is a shame that the Front LED must be turned off to fix it. Again, this seems like a kernel issue.

Has anyone experimented with 3rd party notification LED apps? Perhaps if we can get another "LED Manager" we can fix it that way.
[Verizon LG G2] detonation:
Looks like people are reporting back LED issues in the manual OTA thread as well, so it's probably an actual 39A issue and not just this "rom". Out of curiosity, what differs in this rom from the actual OTA, other than root obviously - the OP states it's not the full VS980 bootstack.
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
It's using the 27A modem, I believe.

VZW LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
It's missing the 39A ramdisk as well as the modem, tz, rpm, dbi, and sbl1 partitions.

Because of this, there will be bugs. Please keep that in mind before posting. Until we get a kdz or another exploit is discovered, this is the best you will get with root.
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
Anyone try stump to root, brute force method? I think ill backup and do the manuel upgrade method and try to use stump to root. Ill report back later with results.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Its been tried a million times. First the G3 guys on LP tried it, then we followed. LG has blocked root on LP. Seems like this is never gonna stop.
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Disappointing that they can't come up with a creative way to actually collaborate with devs here, rather than simply do their best to thwart them. I wonder if whatever they think they're protecting is worth the time and effort.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
All it does is make it harder for us to get root. But we'll find a way! We always do... Well I mean our awesome devs do, I just stand on the side and cheer them on lol

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Yep...That certainly seems to be the pattern. It sure it is a pity that they turn this into a battle rather than a collaboration. You'd think that somebody, in a least one of these companies, would see the potential to be reaped through a cooperative arrangement, rather than an adversarial one.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
It is getting harder though. I've been thumbing around the G3 threads and no mention of an LP root method as of yet. It's ridiculous if you ask me. I don't see the harm especially since they won't warranty a rooted modded device anyway so if you screw up and brick your device you have to buy a new one and they win anyway. In my opinion they'd make more money if they made it easier as more people who don't read and search very hard will be forced to buy more new devices. Just my opinion
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
You guys are surprised? Seriously?

We are the minority, and what do the majority want? Piece of mind, and security.

Phone companies and carriers are doing their jobs. Sure its crappy for "us" but I don't blame them.

If it was simple, and someone coded an app to inject root and installed keyloggers and whatever else, then imagine all the calls and lawsuits that would insue.

You want a device that's easy to root and unlock the bootloader? Start buying Google flagships, an htc, the only two companies that will allow you to unlock your bootloader through a website or otherwise, or buy a dev edition.

Log gone are the days of buying any phone and rooting it.

The Note 4 and turbo are still locked up with no white light on sight

And the fact that Google started hiering reputable crackers, will only make it harder.

Its been done on a vs985 to root on lollipop and they said it may unlock the bootloader.

Saw this posted in a dev hangout I'm in last night. None of them have tried it thought because it involves removing your laf partition.

Supposedly it should work on g's
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Crap... Anybody try this?
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Looks promising although it says it doesn't work on the G3 but all variants the G2 (assumed with KK).

It seems to use Download Mode to force a temporary root shell to allow the push of files into the phone. I am not sure what the second post is for? It crashes Download mode by zeroing out the LAF partition which causes it to fail and fall back to fastboot mode.... but looks like he uses Root to backup the LAF.img... then zero it out... then use fastboot mode to restore it. I am not sure what the point is unless it is for just revealing Fastboot mode for unlocking the bootloader or something.

Seems interesting.
