Sorry for the delayed response... I'm betting the issue was that root access is disabled in developer options by default. You have to set it to apps and adb. Flalshing supersu in recovery works too tho lol.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
Sorry but i have to ask - how come the the vs980 roms in this sub forum are plagued with the data issues, but not the ones in the other development subforums (original dev, android dev). That's literally the only thing from keeping this rom right now.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
What rom are you running? I'll check it's source...
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Honestly, any of the cm based roms for the vs980 will have the issue. If you know of one that doesn't, let me know.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
I could be wrong, but many do not have a mention of the issue in the threads. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-lpalpha-t2969200 http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-blisspop-team-blissmust-12b-t2985536 http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/orig-development/aospa-5-paranoid-android-t2962766

It could be they just don't make any mention of it in the threads.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
If they're using the official (or unofficial for that matter) caf 39a sources for vs980 then they probably have it. If you know of one that doesn't I'll definitely check into it.
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
After using this for a few days I will say this is a pretty solid rom, glad to have an active developer. Yes, there is the data issue but it does seem to be pretty sporadic and not too frequent. By default, it doesn't seem like the wakelock issue is too bad either. I did start using render kernel, but for the most part it seems to be pretty sluggish.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Thanks for the feedback.

I noticed they seemed to fix the unknown baseband hours after I synced for the last build uploaded. While it's a minor thing, I'm tempted to sync and make a new build just to mark one little bug off the list. Any thoughts from anyone?
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
What's the downside to having a unknown baseband?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Absolutely nothing. Its purely cosmetic.
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
Go for it.. I'll flash it :). Might even fix the Bluetooth call volume :)
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Haha thanks. I'll start the sync and build then.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
When I was testing the 5.0 aicp on the caf kernel, there was one build where drgravy fixed it, but the next build was back to unknown.

If you end up not being able to figure out what the commit is to fix it, toss him a message on hangouts.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
8/24 build uploaded. Baseband is known now... tho its a little off. It doesn't show "VS98039A-" at the beginning...
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
Any other commits besides the baseband version fix from the 8/22 release?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Nothing special that I could find...

flashed dirty with no problems..
[Verizon LG G2] afextwin:
[MENTION=1314215]da_reeseboy[/MENTION] Is flashing this ROM really as easy as "flash rom then flash gapps" ? No need to wipe data/cache/dalvik or anything else? This is my first time doing custom ROMs on the G2, tho I've owned nearly every VZW CDMA and 4G device worth talking about and have successfully modded all of them (ye, safestrap when it was the only option for those few devices). So I was just wanting to make sure that there is no need for any wipes. Would you recomend wiping /userdata (factory reset) prior to flashing this ROM?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I would recommend wiping before flashing if you're coming from a different ROM, which I'm assuming you are.

Some have success without wiping when jumping between cm based roms, but I doubt dirty flashing this over something stock based will go very well.
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
also make sure you are on the 39a modem and your sensors work prior to flashing.. If on stock, then you should be good to go. If you were on at 4.4 rom take a look at xdabbeb's modem sticky on how to get to 39a

when I came from stock, I wiped everything but internal storage. Now I just dirty flash and wipe only dalvik and cache. When I clean flash, I wipe everything but internal.
[Verizon LG G2] afextwin:
Where I'm at so far

1. factory 39a.kdz back to stock.

2. disabled vzw apps

3. downloaded a few of my apps

5. rooted (involved use of SendCommand.exe)

6. installed twrp (had to type the commands from LAUNCH-FREEDOM-39A-BUMPED.bat because i didn't have path set for adb, i think this updated my boot to 28a?)

7. posted here. i still have 39a modem, do i need to flash the 39a bootstack from http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/vs980-resources-bootstacks-unofficial-t3050777 before flashing this rom?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
You should be good to proceed with wiping data, dalvik, cache, and flashing rom and gapps.
[Verizon LG G2] afextwin:
1st boot took half as long as a normal 39A boot. LOL!

Awesome work [MENTION=1314215]da_reeseboy[/MENTION] , thank you for this ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
Works great for me, as always! Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Going to start a new build this morning. A couple little things I noticed is that they've now stepped it to beta 3 and I think they added the arrows back on either side of the nav bar when typing... tho I could be reading that wrong. I started the sync at 11, so anything before that in the commits should be included - http://review.pac-rom.com/#/q/status:merged
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
8/29 build uploaded.
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
Thanks da_Reese! Dirty flash all good!
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
You can fix that if you wanted. You will have to modify a file in g2-common:
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Would it be devices/lge/g2-common/rootdir/etc/init.qcom.sh? Did you modify the grep command or just enter in what it should say? Do share so I can correct it on this rom if you don't mind. :)
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yeah, that's the file, but I didn't modify the grep command. I just made the grep command a variable value (if that's the correct term) of mstring (you can call it whatever you want really), and added the VS98039A in front of it. I separated the ls980 from the vs980 so only the vs980 is affected.

Like this:

product=`getprop ro.build.product`
# grep the modem partition for baseband version and set it
case "$product" in
"ls980")
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^MPSS.DI" | head -1`
;;
"vs980")
mstring=`strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^MPSS.DI" | head -1`
setprop gsm.version.baseband VS98039A-$mstring
;;
"d800" | "d801" | "d802" | "d803" | "f320" | "l01f")
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /firmware/image/modem.b21 | grep "^M8974A-" | head -1`
;;
esac
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Thanks for the response. While I was waiting, I started playing around and ended up with this:

product=`getprop ro.build.product`
# grep the modem partition for baseband version and set it
case "$product" in
"vs980")
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^VS980" | head -1`-`strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^MPSS.DI" | head -1`
;;
"ls980")
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^LS980" | head -1`-`strings /firmware/image/modem.b18 | grep "^MPSS.DI" | head -1`
;;
"d800" | "d801" | "d802" | "d803" | "f320" | "l01f")
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /firmware/image/modem.b21 | grep "^M8974A-" | head -1`
;;
esac

Works great also
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Cool, I'm sure there's plenty of ways to make it work :good:
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Definitely
[Verizon LG G2] kallell:
Flashed the latest. I noticed you can no longer add the menu to the navigation bar. There a reason for this?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
It's there, but it was moved. Standby... I'll find it again.

Settings > pac settings > navigation > buttons > buttons and layout > menu visibility.

Do cm roms have a legit camera yet?

Not yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon :)
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Hey everyone, I don't know if there will be an update this weekend. I'm getting an error when I try to build so something isn't right, but its Dragoncon weekend so thats taking my time for the next 4 days. (I know I know... I'm weird) If it doesn't build this weekend I'll dig into it next week.

Potential Bug....

So after running Lollipop Extreme (the Stock-LG based ROM), I have come back to PAC. I just tonight flashed the lastest build and GApps and I have found a bug. When going into the nav bar settings, I tried to set the long-press action for the back button to function to kill app. However, upon doing so, I got stuck in a system ui fc loop. I tried a soft reboot, stick stuck. Tried full reboot, still stuck. As far as I was concerned it was botched. Luckily, whenever I fresh clean install a new rom I make a nandroid backup of the clean install before messing with anything, and since I had just installed this maybe a half hour prior (I hadn't even dl'd the apps yet), I was fine. But I just wanted to point out this bug that could be devastating to someone who hasn't made a backup in a while, and I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to stress the importance of nandroid backups. Other than this, and the stupid LTE-APN problem, all is well so far. I have been a fan in the past, and many new updates have come recently to the overall UI of pac, and they seem smooth so far. Keep up the good work! :)
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
I can confirm this bug.
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
Thanks for checking and confirming on that. Question, for you or anyone who may know the answer... If I ever get in a system ui fc loop like that, is all ruined to the point of restoring a nandroid or is there a special trick I don't know about?
[Verizon LG G2] zzandrewst:
I don't know of a trick and also had to restore a Nandroid.
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
I believe I've found another bug. Its not a major concern though, as it is merely cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality whatsoever. Whenever the keyboard pops up I've noticed it is common for CM based ROMs to change the back button into a down arrow to be used for dismissing the keyboard. For some reason whenever this goes to happen I can still see both icons.... I have attached a screenshot to illustrate this. Doesn't make a difference what the input field is, either. And the button still functions just fine. It just looks funny. Just thought I'd mention this with the hopes that its an easy fix...I just don't know how...lol. Still beem a great ROM though. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I noticed that too the other day. It's quit doing it to me since then... Probably one of the reboots.

It's driving me crazy that I can't get it to build.
[Verizon LG G2] darkharbinger81:
OK so I just flashed this on my vzw g2, looks great I'm still using my s3 right now so I haven't popped in my sim card are there still data issues or has it been resolved?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
The random apn issues still exist. Search for apn in this thread and you should find the info on it.
[Verizon LG G2] darkharbinger81:
Will do thank you da_reeseboy I'll be putting my sim into here in a few minutes after i find the apn thread
[Verizon LG G2] darkharbinger81:
OK so heres an update since flashing, remember I've had my sim card out coming from stock lollipop for g2 after downloading the ROM and gapps I had quick reboot installed I reboot to recovery, did a full wipe excluding the internal storage. I wiped the system, data, cache and dalvik cache. Installed ROM using twrp backed out to main recovery went back into install and flashed gapps . I reboot the phone set up everything using the WiFi Google account etc etc turned the phone off insert the sim card powered back on I have data working with out issues

found a something that said disable root access and try it again.. no luck with that either.. oh well.. used to work fine on the old google wallet..
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
FYI for all that still are watching this thread: I should have a new build this evening finally. I found my old vm from when I was playing with building in June and I successfully built a new pac rom this morning on it. I forgot to set selinux to permissive tho so I'm restarting the build and it should be done by the time I get home.
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
nice!

still rockin the g2.. looking at the nexus 5x or even a nextbit... but until then the g2 is a fine phone
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
Reading through the reviews of the app on the play store shows dozens of others with the same problem... Might be on Google's end??
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
What about Google wallet?
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
the new google wallet does not have tap to pay (yet?) - old google wallet with tap to pay worked fine
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I must still have the old one then.
[Verizon LG G2] darby427:
yep.. if wallet has tap to pay, its the old one.. dont upgrade :) - I have the old version backed up .. I may restore it and see what happens
[Verizon LG G2] darkharbinger81:
Looking forward to new build loving version I'm on now
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
The new build successfully booted on the spare so I'm uploading it.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:

Sweet will downland and flash tonight dirty or clean flash?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Dirty *should* be OK, but I won't know until the end of the day when I can dirty flash to my daily driver. Make a backup to be safe :)
[Verizon LG G2] darkharbinger81:
Thank you sir and dirty is just the data, dalvik and ,the cache right leave the system alone?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Dirty is wiping only dalvik and cache. Leave data.

6p too big, 5x no wireless charging.. damn..

You can find the G2 on ebay for $120-130 in decent shape all day. I'll just keep snagging these until a good device with the snapdragon 820 is released personally.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I've been running the 9/30 build for 24hrs now, and I just realized in the 5 or 6 times I've rebooted data had been solid. It's seems like the apn/data issues have at least improved.
[Verizon LG G2] jsight:
I basically agree, although the Nexus 6P is more tempting than I expected it to be. That will be especially true if the battery turns out to be as good as it should be. I'll probably still stick with the G2, though.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
It finally had an issue that I had to switch apn's to get data again. The issue is still there but its improving.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
The 6p is nice, its just too freaking big for me. Thats just my personal opinion though...
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
I agree! I'm glad someone finally does! It seems that everyone loves the bigger phones... But I don't! Anything more than 5.5" is too large for me...
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
Ok, so first off I want to say that I have this problem in every CM ROM I run, but since this is the one I'm running now and you all are so active on here I thought I'd post this question here.

I have tried dozens of keyboards, and I really like the stock Google keyboard (be it the one from the play store or the one included with this ROM, same thing as far as I can tell...). However, after using it for a while the predictions get all screwed up... For example, if I type "ypu", the suggestions I get are "ypi", " yoi", but never "you" as I'm of course intending. This happens with a lot of words, but I don't know why. I don't type that incorrectly that often, and I've checked the personal dictionary and there is nothing in it. So I thought maybe I'll clear the cache and/or data from the keyboard...well I can't find it anywhere.... So my question is, is there an easy solution to this problem OTHER THAN downloading a different keyboard app? I otherwise like this one, and the alternatives are too slow, clunky, have different layouts, or otherwise just don't suit my taste. Any input would really helpful, thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I honestly switched to TouchPal a long time ago, but I just noticed the other night that my wife is having the same issue as you do I'll probably be screwing with it this weekend.
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
Thanks for your quick response! I've used all the other keyboards and just don't like 'em that much. But I appreciate you being willing to look into it. Keep me posted! Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Can't say that I've noticed it myself. Aosp keyboard is pretty good at fixing my screw ups, and there are a ton.

Bryan Owens updates super swift key with a ton of keyboard skins if you want to try that out.

It messes me up because I'm so used to the layout of aosp/Google, but it might have better predictions. He has something like 50 skins he made and baked into the apk

[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I dunno... Stuff? [emoji14]

I noticed in one of those articles I read on the 820 last night that the clock speed has been dropped. Back in July they were shooting for 3ghz, but the more recent articles all say 2.2ghz.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Well that's going to be even better for battery consumption then.

That's probably why it's being changed... Hopefully not because of heat issues.

I did a build tonight but I'm getting constant location service fc's so I'm doing a clean build overnight to see if its something in my build environment... I'll know in the morning. I'll post the results...
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
So they're seeing that in cm also? Thanks for letting me know. I noticed the xposed issue, but I didn't see any other complaints in that thread...
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Location services is working fine for me on my build, and I synced up about 3 hours ago. Xposed is working fine too, you just have to use the the new version 75.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
What source are you using for the kernel - JPC, lg-devs, or cm?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I'm using JPC's source.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Clean build still has Location Services FC's. Starting a clean build using older caf sources...
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Just fyi, new builds are still getting the location services fc. It is linked to the caf sources and has been reported on cm's website - https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-1899

I can share new builds if you want me to but you will have to make sure that you have adb su access to your phone from a pc before upgrading so you can adb shell to your phone on first boot and disable the com.qualcomm.services.location process, otherwise the pop up makes your phone unusable.
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
I personally only have one G2 and it's my daily driver (for now, really thinking about the G4...), so I don't need/want to run any builds that don't work right. However, if others want them and you do post them, please ensure to adequately identify them, just as you have been explaining everything so far, to avoid major complaints and confusion from any users that aren't as savvy with flashing ROMs and/or using adb shells.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Rashed just marked the issue as resolved, so I will be building this evening and testing it out.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
All the apks just needed removed. They apparently didn't do anything.

Why you never hit me up on hangouts when I usually have the answers I'll never know lol

Edit: also hopefully rashed fixed whatever issue he caused with battery drain. All cm builds after the location issue was taken care of, have a reatardedly high battery drain.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I tried removing them since I didn't see them anywhere else besides g2 and g3 common folders. I kept getting build errors. So then I tried to find everything referencing them but I couldn't seem to get it right... Finally just gave up.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Check my edit.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
I noticed that freaking drain too. I had to charge my phone twice yesterday after having fully charged it the night before.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Yup, I was reading around and it sounds like the issue might have been taken care of.

But I went from 2% drain overnight to 20% lol
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
The stupid location services fc is gone so I'm uploading. I'll comment tomorrow afternoon on the battery life... after running it for a day. Supposedly that has been fixed too tho.
