We still don't have our own Device dedicated Section :crying: :( , what we have is a special LG G Stylo TAG / Discussion which that's why everything is mix...

P.S. I'll be Updating OP with 5.1.1 Root Procedure/Method. ( Thanks [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] )

Dtakenfx, do you anything about making roms? Or can you point me in the right direction of how to start?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
I've built ROMs and such on my old device. I'm willing to lend a hand in your journey. If you want to take me up on the offer just pm me

Id love to see a rom like liquid smooth or carbon on this device inc. Pie controls to take control of the 5.7 in. Display

Only major problem is you have wifi calling that i dont know if it can be programmed into a custom rom
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] southphillysean:
I sure will. Let me do some more research. Find the correct Kitchen and so on.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
I'm working on AICP but haven't had much time

The WiFi calling is currently an alpha or beta feature in cm and like roms

Edit! According to some research CM has an SIP function buried In the dialer app. BUT T-Mobile makes a lot of system side edits for there WiFi calling to work so although its there its very difficult to intergate tmobilea WiFi calling
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] southphillysean:
Gravity box has pie controls. As long as the rom isnt CM or ASOP , international base and some others. You will always have wifi calling.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

I wish we could habe MIUI. I sure do miss that OS. Anyways i got the kitchen downloaded. I look more into it a little later.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] brucedroid031:
Yea but its buggy with the google shortcut being the same gesture (swipe up from bottom) even though nav bar is disabled (probably set to "0") the shortcut is still implemented

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

Thats an awesome rom! Good choice. And yeah i read about that thats why i said something just to warn people that the wifi calling may or may not be integrated into a custom rom due to the system they use to enable it (hard coded into there stock os?)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Pretty much. They have to release the binary source under GPL but its a lot of the stock binaries being modified and that may break the system
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
I updated the 5.1.1 v10i guide that [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] has linked in the first post.

It's now a universal guide for updating to the latest v10i firmware with kdz and for unbricking. (metro & t-mo)

It's a modified "LG Flash Tool" so you have to select "cdma" even on gsm phones. That's how the tool works. Just follow the guide.

I thoroughly tested the guide on my phone on windows 10 and works perfectly.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Restore without bootloader locked.?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
If you already have Root+TWRP don't need to worry about Restoring using KDZ, the rest you can read OP if you Full Restore using KDZ.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Cool i understand.. Just in case I need to dobitvfor someone or even my self. I just want to knw. If we would still have control over bootloader by doing this
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Yeah bootloader will be fine. This is the best way to update so that you get the new modem. The other method was without modem. This will be for both updating firmware and unbricking. The guide walks you through everything.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Cool thanks... Now do you think we should do this to get new modem set.up...?

I notice that tcp.buffer in dcm.settings were updated on this new v10i so i have to rewrite the mod tweaks i did.

And if we wanna build any rom should be on v10i firmware or we can build on any version?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
I updated with the kdz on my phone. Just update with kdz then restore data only from twrp backup to get your apps back.

Stock based roms should be made from v10i.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Ok just backup data... Update through kdz then restore data? What about root?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
The guide points you to everything you need. There will be a root for 5.1.1 at the end of the guide which DrakenFX has in the first post also.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Krlypumaa:
Got it thanks...

Thanks [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] too
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
If you do a backup before you go flash the KDZ you can restore back the backup just dont restore boot from restore and those mod will still there assuming you are on 10i, only mod needed is " Fix SDcard " so can write or safe on external SdCard
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
oh so if i already updated to v10i the first way ( and thus didnt get the new modem/kernel) this will get me the new modem? how about the kernel? still being worked on?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Yep you'll get the modem and kernel.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
cool im gonna have to look at this more tomorrow way too tired to try it now.

just a couple of other questions...i assume flashing this kdz over my current stock rooted 5.11 v10i will get rid of twrp and put the stock recovery back? also have you noticed any data speed improvements from the modem? better performance from the kernel?

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

also i just noticed this from the op under

New LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 Update v10i for LG G Stylo T-Mobile (H631) and Metro (MS631) Variant ONLY Flashable Zip

so should i restore my 5.02 backup before flashing the v10i kdz or does that not matter?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
Yes you'll have to install twrp and the 5.1.1 root.

Haven't paid any attention to notice improvements.

The guide is to update to v10i no matter which android version you're coming from (can also be used for unbricking). I updated the guide today so maybe DrakenFX hasn't had a chance to adjust the label yet.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
well you've been so busy helping us with this phone im surprised you have time to sleep. thanks again to you and everyone else involved

yeah i just re read through everything i missed and it sounds simple enough im sure i can figure it out:good:
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
worked perfectly other than a little hiccup flashing the kdz, tried it again and it did its thing. now im rooted 511 v10i with new kernel and modem....now i just have to put xposed back on...

The name editing mod doesnt work for us using Xposed. Did you try this?

Since we have to edit a system file (build.prop),*root access*is required.Get Build Prop Editor from Play Store. You can also utilize a file explorer app that allows read/write system files, such as ES File Explorer.Locate for this line (AT&T model):

ro.product.device=jflteatt

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

ro.product.name=jflteuc

And change it to:

ro.product.device=jflte

ro.product.model=GT-I9505

ro.product.name=jfltexx

Before the changes can be saved, a reboot is necessary.

in my buildprop it says

do you still think changing it to what you have will get rid of the carrier text on the lock screen?

you have to change it to a non carrier specific one...we just have to wait for our phone to have a international model
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
oh that sucks...you cant just make them blank? or change them to OPEN? ive already tried doing that (unsuccessfully) in the other lines of the buildprop that say "MetroPCS" or "MPCS" but i have never tried editing those 3 particular lines that [MENTION=1602214]southphillysean[/MENTION] mentioned

i removed it but the lockscreen text is still there :(

edit there are a couple of places where it says MetroPCS which is what it says on the lockscreen...should i make those blank in addition? ive already tried blanking those out on their own but not with that other line changed...ugh this is driving me nuts how can there not be a way to get rid of it...

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] amoblox:
Hey guys! So I'm going to move from a Note 4 to the Stylo on T-Mobile. I'm fully aware of the sacrifice in features and power but I'm only really concerned with my ability to play Hearthstone on the device. Hearthstone is a game made by Blizzard and can be found on the Google Play store as well as the Amazon App store. If anyone has a World of Warcraft / Diablo / Hearthstone / other Blizzard login, I'd REALLY appreciate a review of the performance of the game on the Stylo. It is my deciding factor in purchasing this device.

Since I'm sure a few will be curious, I'm switching because I'm hard pressed financially and my Note 4 adds $30 a month to my bill, while the Stylo is only $12 a month. Just trying to save where I can. I don't fully utilize the feature set of the Note 4. I literally only browse reddit, stream music, watch YouTube, and play Hearthstone with my phone.

Hoping for the best!

Sadly my stylo bricked today after attempting to restore a twrp backup. I wasnt able to recover it. So im back on my nexus 5. Good luck guys but im out for now.

sorry to heard that Fix, you try LG Tools (i bet you did but just asking) does the phone turn on at all? just trying to get little more info and see if someone or my self can find a solution for you.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
How's your GPS?

I was out and about today with the Stylo, and I'm finding that the GPS (on mine at least) is atrocious. It can take over a minute to lock on (even when GPS Tools is reporting 20+ satellites in view), and was often losing its lock, causing Maps in navigation mode to freeze and announce "GPS signal lost." Forget about getting your photos accurately geotagged; it just uses the approximate tower location (which often is VERY approximate).

My Galaxy Avant gets a GPS lock in seconds, even indoors. Is LG that bad at making GPS receivers, or did I get a bum unit, or is the Avant GPS unusually good? I'm considering returning the Stylo, but I'm not sure yet whether for exchange or for refund, since a bad GPS is a showstopper for my purposes. What a shame, because I've loved the photo quality.

It's not rooted, so I at least have that going for me if I return it. ;)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
ok a minute after reading this i tested mine for at least 15 min just while i was going up and down around the area i was and didn't have any problem while using either Google Maps or Google Earth the GPS lock in about 2 to 3 secs after turning on and if it was on already was in a heartbeat...... i may do another test for longer time cuz im kinda stuck in a single place right now so :p

Have you tried GPS status and tools app or similar? I remember my L90 "GPS signal lost" every minute in any weather. No data, no WiFi. Hardware GPS. Downloaded one of those apps and it worked better than my S3, which never loses signal but takes a while to lock on. Will test on Monday.

sadly i could not recovery no matter what i did. even with the advice of unjustified trying to help. i took it into tmob for a exchange and they were on backorder. had to pay the restock fee and got a refund. kinda shady on my part but i needed a device. had to buy my wife a s6 and i took my nexus 5 back. it seems twrp wiped my entire device and i could not push the system.img to the device for some reason. so i think from now on ill leave the building and compiling up to a real dev. ill revisit buying a stylo later this summer.

all of my work i did was uploaded to unjustified, maybe he and dees troy can get twrp working. i do know neither of them have a stylo in hand. its cool, i knew the risks of trying to do this and be a guinea pig.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

the stylo is a good device for the price but i think your going to be disappointed coming from a note 4. the biggest downfall of the stylo is the lcd and pixelation. just warning you now.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Now I'm leaning more towards "refund" than "exchange." In my case, clouds were not a factor. Yesterday, the skies were clear in my area (and we're talking rural Illinois flatlands, not downtown Chicago).

I tried again this morning (outdoors in an open area with light overcast), and the problems had not gone away. With the Avant and the Stylo right next to one another, the Avant had a GPS lock in about one second, with an accuracy of 10 feet. The Stylo took 2m38s, and when it finally reported a position, the accuracy was 810 feet, and then it quickly got worse. After about 28 more seconds, it lost the fix, and then gained it again (still with ~800 ft error). I've made a video of it to show to the store personnel if they give me grief.

The kicker: my Avant can get a lock in about 10 seconds indoors, in my house. The Stylo won't get a lock at all under those circumstances.

One other thing that bugged me, though I could live with it: the magnetic compass is ridiculous. I could be sitting at a traffic light with navigation running, and watch the map spin and reroute as if I had suddenly done a 180. That reminds me of my old Relay; the Avant compass is pretty stable.

The GPS, on this Stylo at least, is unacceptable. I've yanked the SIM and SD card and put them back into my Avant (with the H2O SIM going back into my Relay), and given the Stylo a factory reset in preparation for return. It's back in the box and ready to go. If one is available for exchange, I'll give it one more chance, but if that one turns bad, I want my money back (as always, I bought the phone outright).
