Yes, it happens on every G2 ROM I've ever run except ones with xdabbebs advanced camera binaries. It's like the sensor thinks its really dark and so it compensates by dramatically decreasing the "shutter speed" instead of the iso resulting in almost unusable results in low light.. Which is a shame because the hardware is there. It's fine in bright light. I've also noticed colors aren't captured as well without the binaries installed.. But they aren't supposed to work on anything but KitKat. The attachment is the blur I'm talking about.

That was in relatively normal-low light. If its dark its really bad. On Motorola phones (and maybe others, but I'm familiar with moto, the shutter speed usually doesn't seem to vary much. Its more the ISO doing the work. I think lg was pushing the low light features of the camera too much and did whatever they could to keep noise out of the pictures..and ended up going too far. Which is fine in the camera app... But not for general apps like Snapchat or whatever. It would be great if there was a way to give apps more direct access to the camera(which is what I kinda assumed the adv. binary package did?). The image quality is as if its running on aosp (great in good light, but bad and blurry if any motion is introduced in low light). Like I said, I'd investigate myself, but I don't have knowledge on the matter and honestly wouldnt know where to start. Sorry for any typos/not well thought out sentences, I'm posting from a mobile browser

[Verizon LG G2] psychic99:
Optimizations now under 1% per hour

Folks,

I thought I would start out that I have been though almost a hlf dozen ROMs in the last few weeks, and think I have finally settled on this. I am not really disgusted by the LG tweaks, and the LP Roms seem to be much better in simultaneous bluetooth use (I use all the time), which was a problem for me with kitkat.

In any case I have noticed a few things on this drop, namely the default 3-4% per hour battery drop, and all of the LP Roms now picky on USB charging w/ my Anker chargers. So I have decided to just get charge only cables w/ the D+- shorted to fix. Interestingly my Amazon fire HDX wart (9W) seems to have these shorted so I was getting 1600 mAH charging.

So now I have gotten my idle drain (with emails, messages, etc coming in) to .7% to 0.8% (kitkatish) by doing the following (this is w/ wifi, bt running):

1. Stop synching of unneded GF services

2. Increasing Gmail intervals for email polling

3. Freezing a bunch of unneded services

These got me about 0.5, but the big one I noticed when I was hunting through all the wakelocks and frequencies I noticed that the default governor for the GPU adreno was set to msm-adreno-tz and that was locking the GPU at 350 Mhz from the 200 Mhz minimum. I went into GIT and looked at the drivers in LP (5.0.2) and noticed that this driver is no longer in the LP branch and then I took a look at the code. It has copious usage of spinlocks versus mutex where the powersave governor I switched it to. I haven't dissected the LP kernel but I know the scheduling has changed dramatically and spinlocks may not be the best method, and in this case it looks like they are looking to scale up for 60FPS material of which I could care less. I tested the powersave and the GPU immediately went down to 200. I tried some games and some YT video and see no lag, so I am happy. I tried the simple_ondemand and that SB so that was a no go. That shaved about 2% per hour off the drain!

In any case with that change I am now well under 1% per hour. For instance today from 7-12 I'm at 96% with 20+ minutes of calls over BT and 20 minutes of onscreen time.

For the camera, I found the default setting to cause the aperture to misread and meter on bright objects (messing up typical exposure). I fixed that for the most part by changing the mode to intelligent auto (from normal), auto flash (it's off by default for me). If I want more control I put it in normal mode, pick the ISO, and put face detection on.

Hope this helps. The drop is very nice and I look forward to fiddling w/ Viper once I figure it out

Not sure if amazon music is as good because I don't really use it though I do have it but you might want to consider it instead of Google play music if it has all the music you like. It's free with an amazon prime member ship and you get lots of other benefits from prime as well. Also if you have a student account (.edu email) you get half off from prime. So only 40$ a year rather than 10$ a month and you get the amazon music with all the prime stuff like amazon instant video and free 2 day shipping and only 4$ one day shipping. Plus they keep adding more.

Edit: forgot to mention unlimited photo cloud storage though not videos it's still great since Google photos has a limit unless you get a subscription.

And I'm not working for amazon lol I just love all the awesome stuff I get from them for only 40$ a year. And students get first 6 months free so you might as well try it

Battery life has been pretty good for me, around 2% lost per hour when it's just sitting here on LTE and maybe 12% per hour when browsing 9gag on wifi with brightness at 60% or so. This is with Battery Saver disabled. I am using Greenify and Amplify to help control stuff. I didn't watch my battery drain much on KitKat, so I can't compare it much, though I know I would lose about 1%/hr at night without using Greenify or Amplify or anything.

Overall I'm loving the ROM.

(EDIT: Sorry, don't wanna muck up the thread with problems and troubleshooting. I had a problem getting the hotspot to work so I checked out logcat while trying to enable hotspot and it referenced dalvik cache. I rebooted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache, which causes "Android is upgrading..." where it's compiling 187 apps for ART or whatever. Hopefully the hotspot will work after this, but I have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for this process to finish now.)
[Verizon LG G2] sunkim50:
How ironic.. I was just going to post that hotspot is not working. Although I am running xposed and I am not sure if this is the cause. Hotspot will turn on and stay on and can't turn off. I pulled a logcat as well but can't post on XDA app. I can post if it is needed.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
It's not xposed. Hotspot works fine for me with xposed installed.

Does anyone have a copy of any of the debloated apps? It turns out I have been paying fir caller name ID since I bought the phone but only used it until I flashed my first rom, over a year ago! Haha. I cant find a downloadable apk online and was hoping someone on here has it! Anyone?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] How were you able to incorporate V4A into this rom? I am using your debloated rom and tried flashing test lolliviper but it force closed alot and when I finally got the firce closes to stop I moved it to system/apps instead of system/priv-apps and it's not showing up at all in my apps. Not sure if I need to use another version of lolliviper or what I need to do. I wanna switch to this rom but I'm not sure how many more apps you've removed from the rom as I use voicemail and all the LG apps like qmemo and qremote. Any help would be appreciated

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

If I dirty flash this over [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION]'s debloated rom will I lose any system apps?
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
Refer to the op it clearly indicated that version 1.1 have viper4android installed
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Just install xdabbeb's Rom, it's fully stock, and rooted :good: (not sure if MicroMod has a stock, non-debloated Rom out). Then you can remove what you want from it, and add Viper. Put Viper in /system/priv-app. Make the necessary folders for it in there, and set permissions. That's all you really need to do.

Just make sure busybox is installed properly.

EDIT:

v1.1 of this Rom already has Viper working.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Why can't I just add viper to micromod's debloated rom? It's the same only debloated right? I am happy with the rom and all I just cannot get lolliviper to work. I put it in priv-app and set proper permissions. Does his debloated rom not include busybox?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Can I dirty flash version 1.1 over his debloated rom?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yes you can, and I'm pretty sure it includes busybox, or init.d, and viper wouldn't be working.

What exactly did flashing lolliviper change? Did it mess with library files? I've haven't used lolliviper, so I don't know what it does, it could have messed things up.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Yes.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
It didn't seem to change anything as far as I can tell. It force closed about 5 times after initially rebooting but I can reboot now and no force closes. It doesn't show up in my apps either though. Not sure what happened. Testlolliviper is supposed to set buildprops or something so I'm sure that changed but it didn't seem to mess anything up
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You don't need to change anything in the bulild.prop to get Viper working.

Just saw that test lolliviper is for the N5. I wouldn't be using that on this phone. I also see that it's adding library files, it may even be replacing stock library files too. All that is not necessary.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
I know that but I was just reading the viper page and the one I picked (test lolliviper) apparently changes build props for whatever reason. Not sure why, it says it does though. Anyway, I shouldn't lose Qmemo or anything if I drty flash this rom over the debloated rom will I?

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Darn it figures I pronanly screwed something up. I used it on all the cm12 roms just fine. Thought it'd be fine on this as well. One more question. If I'm using xposed. Should I disable that before flashing this over the debloated rom or is it ok to leave it active?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You will loose it, unless v1.1 has QMemo in there; I don't know what apks are, or are not removed because I'm running my own de-bloated setup. It will completely overwrite your system, with the system.img included in the v1.1 zip.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Ok, thanks for the help
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
The extream lollipop 1.1 is debloated, and has both busybox and viper install and working perfectly.
[Verizon LG G2] Masterx9:
alright just to double check. Wife is still on rooted kk 27a. Essentially I should full wipe flash the bootstack then the modem then the rom and everything is good to go correct?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
The modem is included in the bootstack, so flash bootstack and reboot your recovery only. Then flash the rom and you'll be good to go!
[Verizon LG G2] Masterx9:
Cool
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I kept vvm, and remote. Viper4Android was very difficult to get integrated into rom and working. I don't have a clear cut way to get it done except by trial and error till it finally worked.

But I would recommend is flash xdabbeb's stock 39a firmware rom, then download selinux and buxybox from playstore and install. Set selinux on permissive. Then install the Viper app and use root explorer and transfer it from data/app to system/priv-app. Reboot, and install drivers from viper app. It might and might not work. I spent hours going crazy for that app.
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Yeah I just simply gave up. In the future I may download and debloat the rom xdabbeb posted but for now I am happy with your debloated rom as it still contains some apps I believe are not in the extrene rom that I do not want to be without. I am no fan of debloating as I have no idea what I should delete as not all apps are apparent and visible to users and I'll more than likely muck something up. The one app I want though is the caller name ID which can't be downloaded from anywhere and I've been paying for it it turns out for over a year and haven't even had it. Haha. No big deal about the V4A as I just edited my mixer_paths.xml file to increase speaker and headphone volume. The one thing that viper does that I do not know how to do is increase bluetooth streaming volume with the mixer_paths. If anyone can assist with that, I would be eternally greatful!

[Verizon LG G2] :
I have two G2s. On one of them I took the OTA and on the other I'm running Extreme v1.1. I have all the stock apps backed up from the OTA :good:. Here's the one you requested

Here's a quick tip on how to back up all your apps from any ROM onto your computer.

Assuming your phone is attached and detected using the command ADB devices

These are the three commands we will be using.

adb pull /system/app

adb pull /system/priv-app

adb pull /data/app

Apps will be placed wherever ADB is installed at executing the above command, so to put all your apps in a place that's easy to find do this..

adb pull /system/app C:\Android\G2systemapps

adb pull /system/priv-app C:\Android\G2privapps

adb pull /data/app C:\Android\Playapps (This should pull the playstore apps but I cant get it to work so I just copy and paste with root browser)

If everything is setup correctly then it should start pulling all your apps from your phone on to your computer. It takes a few so be patient.

To find all your apps navigate to your local hard drive ( C: ) and you will see the Android folder that contains both the folders filled with every apk from your G2.

Let me know if someone is able to pull play apps from data/app Edit: I was able to pull all my play apps. Adbd has to be running in insecure mode.

Thank you for this information! One question though, can you also adb push these apps back onto the phone? For example, could I pull the apps off of a full ROM, then push the ones I want to keep back to a debloated ROM? Sorry if that is a stupid question...
[Verizon LG G2] wsw1640:
[MENTION=6071759]techguy1216[/MENTION] yeah I read through that earlier today and that made me freeze it. However that didn't help at all.
[Verizon LG G2] :
[MENTION=6071759]techguy1216[/MENTION] You're welcome. Yes you can use adb push to push apps back to your phone but it can be tricky. I literally just finally successfully pushed an app to my phone right before writing this without any friggin errors. ADB is in secure mode and the only way I've found to fix it is the app adbd insecure and it costs $1.85. The app was made by chainfire, the same dude that made supersu... If I were to push an App back to my phone's priv-app folder using the same locations as I did to pull them I would use these commands

1. Type adb root and make sure you're in root mode

2. Type adb remount and make sure you remount successfully (this will change the file system to read/write instead of read only)

3. Now I would type adb push C:\Android\G2privapps "name of app here" /system/priv-app

4. Hopefully no protocol errors. Good luck!

If you get a protocol error then keep trying til it works lol :silly:
[Verizon LG G2] slow66:
How do you setup tether without a security key? When I select "none" the default key remains. I select wpa2 and clear the key out, change back to none, save. But the setting only sticks for that instance. When I use tether again I have to redo the steps.

but my mms does not work. I am with cricket wireless. any thoughts??

I had the same issue with stock lollipop messaging app, i removed it and installed the default kk app and this resolved my mms issue. Another solution is to check apn settings. And if they are correctly set.

[MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] Nice work! Nice to see you're still working for LG. I remember the nice debloated roms you had out for the spectrum. Glad you have a G2! Thanks again. :) :good:

I know I'm a little late here too but, looking at the mods posted for the lollipop thread in themes and apps, there's a zip downloadable to flash the stock LG nav keys. Here is the link

It won't work on this of course because it's made for the multi variant LG lollipop roms however I did download the zip and see what it changes, it appears:

System -> Priv-app -> LG Settings -> LGSettings.apk

System -> Priv-app -> LG SystemUI -> LGSystemUI.apk

I don't necessarily know the specific edits made to them. Just thought i'd help out. If you do manage to get the nav keys to LG, please post them. I'm not much of a fan of the new Lollipop nav keys either. :p
[Verizon LG G2] Lttlwing16:
Hey man great ROM! Really enjoying what you've done. That said, the default apn ("phone") for Cricket sim in the ROM is dated and incorrect. I've updated the etc/apn_config.xml file to reflect the appropriate apn settings for a modern Cricket sim card, as described here: https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html

That said, I am still unable to receive in MMS, but can send out fine. I was told by Cricket rep, it can take up to three days for MMS to work themselves out when switching phones. I think it may also have to do with what the appropriate network type is, i.e. Global vs LTE/GSM/UTMS etc etc.

I'll play around and post anything I find.

Instructions for Cricket users:

1. Download apn_config.xml (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxif9nkc9xzkzd1/apns-conf.xml?dl=0) to phone

2. Use a root explorer to copy and paste the the file to /etc

3. Fix the permissions to rw-r-r--

4. power off and pull sim

5. power on

6. put sim back in and power on

7. go to apn settings and select ndo

8. reboot

Maybe [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] will update the file in the next build and above won't be necessary.

EDIT: Didn't realize [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] developed the Cricket ROM for VS980. Are you still using VS980 with Cricket? Have you experienced the same issues? What network settings (global, LTE/GSM/UMTS etc) are you using, seeing as they are slightly different than from KK.

I'm assuming you are installing Xposed correctly. Installing the alpha2, and xposed-arm-20150308.zip in twrp, and renaming/deleteing/freezing LGCover.apk, LGWeather.apk, and LGWeatherService.apk.

What HotspotProvision.apk are you using?

It's cool, I got it working by freezing them in TB. The main thing I want is the power menu stuff which isn't working.
