Fonts are in SYSTEM > Fonts , i was checking the Font Zip file from [MENTION=5365841]AP2FTW[/MENTION] and what it does is replace the Roboto Fonts from System Font folder... i try but had to system restore....i'm trying to find out a way how to install new fonts so will take some time :(
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
dang so it didnt work :(

so if fonts are in system > fonts, its not as easy as just putting the desired font ttf file in there, setting the permissions and rebooting?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Unfortunately things never are. Try this app. I used it a lot on other devices without a hitch. See if it work's https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] universeisgr8:
I am confused.

Installation of recovery flashable 5.1.1 zip requires Twrp 2.8.7.0. And installation of Twrp 2.8.7.0 requires flashify. And installation of flashify requires root. But how do you root the 5.1.1 rom at the first place?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
You must root first then install recovery with flashify and then flash the 5.1.1 zip in recovery. Just click the 5.1.1 link in the first post and it will walk you through everything in order. You'll see a twrp link there that will have a guide to install it.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
You can't root 5.1.1 at the moment. Someone may have the 5.0.2 kdz you can use to downgrade then root. Also make sure you know that twrp is for the Metro and T-Mobile variants only!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
you used that app to flash new fonts on other phones? i dont see why i cant just use twrp?

also there are only 6 different font choices in the display settings, but there are like 144 .ttf font files in the system>font folder...wtf?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Right and this dosentflash them it installs and does it all. Its built for devices with no custom recovery
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] universeisgr8:
I there a way to downgrade this phone from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2? If so, can someone provide a link to the instructions please.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
If there's a kdz for 5.02
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
If someone has it me <3 u long time for metro
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Imnot on metro but I'll see if i can dig up a kdz for ya. Gotta be somewhere on the web.... Do you know how to restore from a kdz?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] liesnomore:
It works

Rooting, flashing the twrp and update flawless and quick. No problems at all. Thanks
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
Soi may have found a different way to do this. But I need a bit of help. Some of it you can do. The rest I need from someone on metro who was on 5.0.2 aka the unlocked bootloader
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] OldAzzNoob:
Can you post a link for cm 12.1 for LGMS631 please.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
I'm hurt you dont remember me. :p Of course i do i just have had a heck of a time finding a 5.0.2 kdz
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
well sorry to say this but 5.0.2 KDZ doesn't exist just the 5.1.1 for both Metro and Tmo (yeah i know sucks but well :crying::()
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
I didn't think they did. Buuuut I may have a way to fix that. Just need some files from metro. I'll probably test it with T-Mobile to see what happens.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasauce:
is there a safe way to tell if the tmobile (family mobile) version that is in store right now is on 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 before buying it?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] devynbf:
You can try asking the sales rep but that's about it. My guess is the only ones that would be updated are the newer ones they get from the manufacturer. Try asking for their old models? Not sure haha.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasauce:
I wonder if they would have a different "model number"
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
So slightly off topic but for those of you who are still interested in my custom kernel I almost have the alpha ready. And to keep this thread uncluttered for all my stuff (the kernel AICP etc) that I do between now and when we get a thread from cluttering the thread Im going to keep all of it on http://demonslayer12349.Github.io currently still debugging the code a bit because HTML/CSS is finicky as h3ll but I finally have a day off work so I'll have plenty of time to get it working!

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] [MENTION=2639577]GameTheory[/MENTION] or anyone else.

i came across your TWRP for the Tmo G4 Thread [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]) and i was wondering if the OEM Unlock will work the same way for the Metro/Tmo Stylo with the LP 5.1.1 (unrooted) and try flash TWRP using "dd" and if this works having just need to boot to TWRP and Flash SU Binaries to have root access?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbox23:
Very comfortable, I'm a UNIX junkie.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Yes, it works and has been done already.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
for the LG G Stylo? i know is been done for the G4 (tmo variant) but not sure for Stylo
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
May i inquire how one does this sir
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Follow my root guide using send command but instead of pushing root files just start the send command program. Once you have TWRP in your internal sdcard run the commands after the # sign dd if=/data/media/0/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery . Make sure you enabled OEM unlock first. Once in TWRP flash latest supersu zip I don't recommend rooting with TWRP.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
Will do this tonight sir and report back
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
ugh i tried the xposed and now it wont boot...im trying to hold the volume button to get into recovery but its not working? can someone help me boot into recovery? i thought i was supposed to hold the volume button down and then release it at the lg logo, then press it again for a few seconds...is this correct?

edit nevermind figured out how to get back into recovery
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Steps

------

1. Press and hold Volume down + Power

2. When LG logo appears release them press and hold quick manner again

3. Keep them press + hold till Factory Reset screen shows

That will be all.

Other method you can do if you have USB DEBUGGING enable nefore flashing Xposed is connect to PC and see if detects it if it does just do a " adb reboot recovery "

Edit: you already figured out lol
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
yeah but what i did was press and hold volume down and power > when lg logo appears release the power button keep holding volume down > then a couple seconds later press and hold the power button (while still holding volume down) until the factory reset screen showed

edit im wondering why the xposed wouldnt let me boot...it took forever on the lg screen and then finally went to the metro screen...but it stayed on the metro screen for what seemed like an eternity so i finally gave up and yanked the battery...maybe i just should have waited longer?

also i read somewhere that you need busybox installed and i dont think i do...maybe ill install that and try again...

Did this work? Unjustified Devs 5.1.1 unofficial method.

Grasshopper, the words and works of Unjustified Dev are sacred...never to be questioned!

We are so lucky in this thread to have several devs answering mundane questions(yours is not)...elsewhere we'd be ignored + , the occasional chastising exasperation.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
This did not work for me. I just bought a Family Mobile G Stylo (T-Mobile version), and it already had 5.1.1 on it, I didn't update it. I installed drivers, enabled ADB and OEM Unlock from Developer Options, put TWRP img on the device (didn't change the name to recovery.img, left it as it was), ran send_command on the diag port from download mode. Ran this command:

dd if=/data/media/0/twrp-2.8.7.0-test-omni.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

No errors or anything. Pulled the battery, booted fine, rebooted into recovery via adb and the stock recovery is still there. Shows the dead android with "No Command".

I also tried writing directly to mmcblk0p19 and that didn't work either.

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION], I'm happy to help you test something to make this work, but right now it doesn't seem to.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
If=/data/media/0/twrp-2.8.7.0-test-omni.img
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
Corrected in my edit, that's what I ran.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Hmmm...I was able to flash the stock recovery.img in 5.0.2 try renaming the TWRP to recovery and run the command again but with recovery...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
Tried that as well, doesn't work. I'm sure the file name doesn't matter, it's the changes in 5.1.1 that's causing it not to work, I'd assume.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
possibly since i did do it on a locked bootloader on the Boost Variant sooo...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Move the recovery.img to External SDcard root directory and try this

dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

That work for me when i got soft-brick while back and i wasn't able to boot recovery.

I Ithank [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for the help

Hey did you get the chance to build cm12.1 with GPS test fix? :)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
His latest build have everything fix but LED...i believe is build 07-14-2015
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
Nope, same result. Recovery is the dead Android with "No Command." below it.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Sorry for my ignorance on this method but you are Download Mode using send_command

With Enable OEM Unlock? Just to make sure we are in the same page.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
Yes, download mode, OEM unlock enabled, using the diag com port. The command doesn't say success or failure or anything, but doing an ls -l on /dev/block doesn't show any new time stamp, so it appears that it's just not modifying the partition at all.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if it is sending the image the area where you type will blink for a bit but if it lets you type right away then it didn't work or the file is pretty small

Okay so... I'm using wifi tether router on the stylo with metro pcs and as soon as my "unlimited Hotspot" from Metro ends I get a text saying my unlimited Hotspot data has all been used. When using wifi tether router, I thought it hid my Hotspot usage. My hot spot speeds slow to around 125 kbs which is HORRIBLE. is anyone else experiencing this? And is there a work around for this? I never had this annoying problem until I got this phone. I used to have the f6 and always had good speeds on this stylo I don't. I tried going through a VPN after they slowed my Hotspot down and it's still the same. So... Mayday Mayday! Help! =)

Have you uncheck "Allow WiFi Scanning" on WiFi Advanced Settings on your phone? and deleted all APN and created one with IPv4 instead of IPv6? and Enable WiFi before using the app?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] KennebellGT:
Allow wifi scanning is unchecked, I haven't deleted the apn but called metro and they gave me a new t-mobile apn that didn't work. I haven't created one using lpv4. Thanks for the reply

edit: also I leave wifi off while using the tether router
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
i recommend you to go to Secret/Hiding Menu 277634#*# and Click ApnUnlock that will allow you to deleted any existent APN on your device but instead of deleted the current APN edit that APN and change IPv6 to IPv4. that will work too.

Are you T-Mobile or metro? See bottom ↓

Two birds with one stone we can not root 5.1.1 but I've found a method that (if it works) will let me make a custom kdz. With that I can have it with the 5.0.2 bootloader/laf so the 5.0.2 method will work then it should be smooth sailing from there
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] liesnomore:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
It's locked by default enabling OEM unlock in developer options unlocks it again. Without root you can't really do much with it. You should be able to flash recovery from download mode but I don't yet know how to calculate the bs, count, and seek values to use dd in newer download mode.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
That might explain the unknown status. Oem unlock is ena led on mine and if you wish for a test subject let me know. I have bricked this thing at least 30 times poking around trying on my own by playing with stuff from the g4 root thread

But I am so disappointed when I found out that there is not root for this phone for 5.1.1 because the bootloader is locked now. I called LG technical department and they had no idea what rooting is and what locked bootloader is...... Well I really want to root this phone so that I can install custom roms on it.

which Variant you have?

if you have Tmo or Metro you are safe even if you get brick cuz we have the KDZ file, only variant is not safe is Boost/Sprint they dont have a KDZ file.

if you are going to give it a go to this new method make sure you have done first the " Enable OEM Unlock " Check under Developer Options
