A Useful Wakelock Tweak by cpshelley2

Be sure to Thank [MENTION=3970420]cpshelley2[/MENTION] for this nice little tweak! :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Thanks for pulling that, I forgot to when I installed custom. :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajiema:
I acually got it fro UnjustifiedDeveloper last night. I think he said he got it from u. It was in the zv4...zip. I just renamed it and put .img on it. I know pretty ballsy right. But i was having the same problems the other guy was, would not go past TWRP and figured what else do i got to lose. But it worked for me so i figured it would work for him. The only problem i have now is if i flash TWRP i get the same problem as before. So no custom recovery is installed on my phone which sucks cause i would like to test the modded rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Oh so that was the boot.img I sent him that you linked and not the original stock recovery.img from the phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajiema:
I'm not sure i flashed it to recovery and nothing happened then i flashed it to boot and my phone loaded normally. I could press vol down and power and i showed "Restoring Factory settings". So im not sure whats goin on with it just knew it would get him back up and goin again. I will make a video tonight showing what happened and what i did a link it to u cause i still can't install TWRP without it getting stuck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Yeah that was the stock boot.img I gave him. Apparently its been saving phones! :D Hope the post Thanks! roll in! LOL jk :cool:

Like I said though, I forgot to pull the stock recovery.img before I switched to custom. So if anyone did do that or can still pull the Stock Recovery for us, please feel free to leave that here in this thread as it might be useful to someone. Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajiema:
Does this phone have recovery or is it just a factory restore thing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Yes there is a Stock Recovery when you first get your phone and [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] ported over a Custom one.

I forgot to make a backup of the Stock one. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiddenis1144:
If you don't like the lg tribute why do you have it? And if you are smart enough you can install a custom ROM onto it to get android 5.0 lollipop. I originally use the galaxy s4 but now that I installed a custom ROM I'm more interested in the lg tribute than my galaxy. The custom ROM makes the phone look like the nexus 6 and multitasking is way better. Lg software eats too much ram so that's why it can be slow with the stock rom.

CM 12 on Tribute development

Hey I just flashed CM12 on my Lg Tribute (ls660) and its running smoothly it has a few bugs but based on what I have seen they seem fairly simple to work out. Someone should really develop this Cyanogen CM12 for this device. Current issues that I have seen so far are:

GPS

Camera

Video Player Force Close when rotated

Will continue using it and will see which else bugs i can find. Use the following links to download the stable version along with gapps 5.0 do not download the cm 12.1 it is very unstable and does not boot.

Link for CM12 and 12.1: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=27368

*Do not download CM 12.1

Link for Gaaps 5.0.1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2z50nbOcFrZQTZEOUlzcVJqNFU/view

I think everyone would appreciate if an experienced dev looked into this to work out the kinks. I mean based on what I am experiencing with it so far its super smooth and common its lollipop people

I installed it to and really surprising method . I'm shocked im not stuck in a loop . I rooted with king root / installed root explorer / mounted r/w / flashed twrp via the app however I don't recal the variant as its not specified or if I down loaded a zip. Reason my memory is foggy is it took a while to work up the nerve to flash the cm ROM with such shaky root and recovery I'm not a expert just a hobiest . I also no longer have a PC for pushing with adb . / booted to twrp / wiped cash and dalvic only / flashed ROM / let ROM boot / from hear I got nervous ROM took a while to get stable but finally it did / went back to twrp flashed gapps and so far great tweek and I still have root with no king root app .

Custom Recovery Lg ls660zv6

Is there a tested method for installing a custom recovery on the Sprint LG ls660 zv6? I can't find it in the threads if there is one. The device is rooted. Only the zv4 and zv5 methods come up when searches were done on this and other websites. Does it matter? It doesn't seem safe to try those methods on this device. Apps used for installing custom recoveries and roms do not support this version of the phone.

This is my first rooted device. I am a noob. This is my first post on a very informative website. Hopefully this is the correct thread.

Yeah I've been searching for the same thing. I have boost mobile lgls660 on 4.4.2 with the zv6 build and I'm afraid to try the methods for installing twrp on this device because I've been reading about people getting bootloop after updating. Maybe it's possible to flash the same twrp file with rashr. I'm not going to try though because I don't have a computer to flash the stock Rom back with. If i did have a computer though i would just try to flash a zv5 or zv4 build and try it then

VM Tribute - Data & WiFi Not Working, PLEASE HELP

For Christmas my mom bought me the LG Tribute with Virgin Mobile. She didn't trust me with an iPhone yet, so here I am with an LG Tribute (BTW LG stands for Life's Good and life is not good when you have an LG, life is bad.) ANYWAYS, this is really urgent because if my mom found out that I basically broke my phone, she'll freak.

So I rooted my phone last night. Everything was going fine. I rooted my phone to get storage on my SD and for freedom and such. So, I downloaded an app remover. I deleted a few things, (it told me what I should keep, and what is useless) including Mobile ID. I think that has something to do with it, I'm not sure. After I deleted those I felt the app had no use anymore so I deleted it. It did not happen immediately after, but I couldn't connect to any WiFi, and my mobile data wasn't working. Now my phone is pretty much useless, because all but one of the apps on my phone require WiFi. My grandma called me this morning, and it just said her contact name and no option to answer or decline.

PLEASE HELP!!! Before it stopped working, I downloaded ROM Manager. I used it to get a ROM called Cerberus. I didn't know what it did, so I just deleted the app. I didn't backup or anything (UGH) but my wifi and stuff didn't stop working until a little later. When I try to open the Virgin Mobile app it says "The System is restarting, please try back a little later." It would also help if I didn't have to restart my phone. I did reboot it a few times. My data runs out in 10 days, and my birthday is in 3 weeks (I think I'll be getting an iPhone) so if I absolutely needed to, it wouldn't be SO horrible.

Thanks so much!!!!!! If you need any other info on the issue, ask and I'd be happy to help.

Update File

Hey,

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I need to get the update file for the LG Tribute so that I can get all the apps that were preinstalled on the device back.

UPDATE:

I basically have a similar problem as DonaldKrump. Everything works on my phone except Google Play Services and almost all built-in apps. I don't even have a keyboard that is installed on the phone so I can't really do much. Even after doing a factory reset it still has the same problems. I would think that forcing an update on the system would help but I'm not sure if that's how it works. If anyone could help me that would be AWESOME!

PS: Do you know a good backup app that I can use to restore my system in case this happens again?

Update 2

Hey, thanks for trying to help me!

I have to managed to get almost everything back to normal on my phone. I backed up all of my apps using TitaniumBackup to Google drive. I was able to then download them on my PC and move them go my tribute and install them. I did this for Chrome and a few games (to get me through the day). The app store and Google play services didn't work at all at that point. I force uninstalled Google play services and reinstalled it and it worked! Play store still didn't work because if had some connection errors or something. I was able to connect to my Google account thou and get the calendar and contacts back. The next day, play store started working for no reason. So now everything is pretty much OK but I'm sure there's something lurking in the background just waiting to destroy my phone. Data connection also took a day or two go start working which is really odd.

Sorry if I have a lot of run-on sentences, but I am just trying to describe all this to you guys. If this helps at all then great!
