I got it figured out as well and so here's my method. I honestly think, though, that its every man for himself out there on this and that what works for one is unlikely to work for another.

Mine does not use XPosed, I don't have it installed. Requires use of SuperSU as your superuser manager and be currently rooted. I am running BarePapA-TE_V3 and NavelA-V1.6.

Download RootCloak Plus (Cydia) and Cydia Substrate from the Play Store.

Open Substrate. It tells me "Note: something about your device made it impossible for Substrate to perform its internal safety check; can you please contact saurik via e-mail?". Doesn't seem to effect anything.

Open RootCloak Plus (Cydia). Here you are going to be adding apps to a list of ones you don't want knowing you have root. There are a bunch of defaults already which you can leave. Add AndroidPay (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel). Now beyond that, I went ahead and added a number of other Google Apps and be certain any of them are required, but its what I did. I added the new Wallet app, Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Partner Setup, Google Account Manager, and Google Services Framework. Basically, my reasoning was that given the commitment to blocking rooted devices from using AndroidPay, it'd be useful to cloak any of the other financial apps and core GAPPS as well . . . because who knows how they are checking for root?

Reboot device.

Open SuperSU and uninstall superuser.

Reboot device. AndroidPay now works, buy yourself an Oreo McFlurry with your phone you clever hacker.

Obviously, your rooted apps won't work. So, if you want them back you will have to open SuperSU and reinstall superuser. That is going to break AndroidPay. Each time you want to use it again, you have to repeat the last two steps. So, there's the compromise . . . you can either leave your phone unrooted or have to reboot every time you want to use it.

This was a real PITA to figure out. It took me two days of going into Walgreens, trying to buy something with AndroidPay, it failing, but not wanting to be a total **** I bought it anyway. Then I'd go to my car for about a half hour, tweak things, and go back in for another try. Took about nine to ten tries for it to work, and I now have enough chapstick to last the winter. I've tested it successfully half a dozen times at Walgreen's and McDonald's so far and it is reliable (for me). Annoyingly, I am certain that this won't work on the Nexus 6P I'm getting next month, but I just love you guys that much ;) And it also really really pisses me the **** off when someone tells me I can't do something I want to do with my phone. Shout out to the good folks of Walgreen's for not asking me to leave or calling the police due to my weird and shady behavior.

I want to know if anyone else tries this method. If you do, please post a reply saying whether or not it worked.
[Sprint LG G3] memnochlv:
I followed the above instructions and I do have Xposed, still can not verify my cards. Going to try removing Xposed as well. BTW, when you say remove superuser, you mean uncheck it being enabled in SuperSU? I added all the same apps to both RootCloak the app as well as the Xposed module.
[Sprint LG G3] memnochlv:
I tried with Xposed removed and still I can't add any cards. Also, I'd read there may be a problem with "unlocked" bootloaders. Would TWRP count / read as an unlocked bootloader?
[Sprint LG G3] Srambo217:
I'd go with 'BarePapB' simply for legacy's sake. Changing the name entirely may throw off user who run this as a daily driver but don't visit the boards often.
[Sprint LG G3] stopeject:
Is it possible to remove the OTA notification without doing the upgrade?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I can't remember how now. But if you look through some of the older rom threads, you'll probably find some suggestions towards the end of the threads.
[Sprint LG G3] stopeject:
Found this video https://youtu.be/bUGOKsyb0I8 It worked.
[Sprint LG G3] Ripley22:
Do you have location set to device only? I had the same problem and changed that to improved location access and magically have pinpoint accuracy. Good luck cabbieBot.
[Sprint LG G3] ruthlessptizzle:
ive been on this rom forever and i want to upgrade it but i dont want to start from scratch and do a fresh install...any of the new bare roms able to be upgraded to just dirty flashing
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Actually the stock one probably can. But as for the others.... No. I've moved things from /system to / data.

You can try it. Others have. Just make a backup first and if there's issues, then clean install or restore.
[Sprint LG G3] cabbieBot:
I do not have it set to Device Only, I've had it set it to High Accuracy w/ Accelerated Location . . . but that seems like it might be worth a try. A friend of mine with the LS990 (stock, unrooted) has the same problem I do it seems, so we aren't crazy it turns out! I have found a workaround, though YMMV. I've been using this free app and it seems to iron out the issue: GPS Status & Toolbox. The way it seems to work is that you install it and forget it, and whenever an app uses GPS, it activates this app and gets a really quick and accurate GPS lock.

[Sprint LG G3] shabydog:
Hi,

Is it GMS compatible?

Thank you.
[Sprint LG G3] shabydog:
Anyone can plz tell me if it's a GMS compatible rom?

Thank you.
[Sprint LG G3] cabbieBot:
Sprint's 3G network is CDMA. You'd be asking for trouble flashing this, and would likely brick the device if you flashed the radios for whatever crazy reason.

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

hello from Nexus 6P land folks :D just dropping in to see if there's anything new to flash, I'm still on barebum_v2 so doesn't look like anything big is ready. At this point, my LS990 has taken so much abuse its difficult to seat the micro-USB port to take a charge, and the battery compartment plate doesn't even latch at the bottom. It's held together by bubblegum and duct-tape (and otterbox), and I basically rotate in externally charged batteries. It wants to retire to a non-demanding life of unrooted stock but I'm mean and won't let it. I was pleased to see the G3 is getting Marshmallow, as I'm still keeping this as my backup device.

In news shocking to no one, I attempted my AndroidPay workaround for the G3 on the N6P and it didn't work. It sucks.
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
I have a patched navel - zva kernel, wouldn't boot in zv8 but, when I rebuild it, will post to be tested
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Sounds good. I may still start from scratch just so git would be a little better and easier to build from.
[Sprint LG G3] InfiniteReality:
Did a full wipe and fresh install. Used wifi to add back apps at home and on data at works seems to work normal again! I'm on ZV8 modem, I think it may have just needed to settle. Or maybe it was the "leap second", haha!

Thanks again for this, everything is smooth!
[Sprint LG G3] israphil622:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] Thanks for keeping us current. Quick question about WiFi calling. I recently received a new device from sprint. I have it rooted and unlocked however WiFi calling isn't present. I have my MSL. By doing ##RTN# will it cause me loose root or will I just loose data?
[Sprint LG G3] galaxyhero:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] hey thanks for your work have used your barepop zv8 deodexed and loved it also tried your stock zva odexed and works well. Ive seen in other g3 forums such as for d-855 they have currently working roms with full g4 port. Looks really nice, but since it is based on v20p d-855 it doesnt have the best sprint network support. I am currently on cloudyrom g3 2.4. But i do have most stuff working except voicemail and wifi calling. My question is can we get a g4 port for our sprint ls990. Thanks again.
[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
Flashed cleanly over stock rooted zv4 and I received no data. Tried updating prl but it took forever just to give me a "network error".

Help?!
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
you probably need zva modem, post #2, title says rom and kernel only. you currently have zv4 modem
[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
Thank you, I'll give it a try
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Hey engine, I recently flashed zva from Fusion 6 and I've always loved your roms but after flashing it, I had full signal bars but my conversations were always broken up like I was in a bad cell area. So, I flashed the zva modem and it didn't help. Actually I flashed back to the zv8 modem and got better data connectivity but still have the voice quality issue. Any ideas? Thanks for your appreciated very hard work!!! GREAT job bro!!!
[Sprint LG G3] jcfunk:
Here is a test kernel Navel-Kernel-V4.3-zva.zip
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
If that dialer code works for that phone. G3 works, others may not.

As far as root, I've never heard of anybody losing root. I've done it a few times with no issues.

I'm not sure. We'll see. But my past ports haven't gone well.
[Sprint LG G3] dyliho:
Man the Rom is amazing!!! I worked on it and tested it all day and its my daily driver, hell man its so sweet and clean its permanent. I flashed it a couple times having to get my apps and some fixes from my stock nandroid so my data would work but that's because I went through heck figuring out data problems on my AT&T ST Sim... Excellent Job my friend and here is a couple Screen Shots from my PocketWizard...
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I flashed it but no luck. Secure boot error, and fastboot. I'll mess with it too. Are your adds in it?

Let me know if you want me to be a test dummy lol
[Sprint LG G3] InfiniteReality:
I've confirmed ZV8 modem will work with it. In my case it works better than ZVA modem.

I've also installed Xposed for Lollipop, works like a charm!
[Sprint LG G3] myxmastrmike:
Currently on BarRin_D_V3...

Do I just need to do the wipe, flash the ROM, flash ZVA_Modem, boot and update profile/prl?

Or will I need to flash the ZVA_rpm,tz partitions as well?

Alternatively, if perhaps I don't like BarePapA and want to go back to BarRin, will I just need to flash my backup, then flash the ZV6 modem?

Thats all I had to do when going back to BarRin when I had issues with the ZV8 BarePop... Just want to know if that still applies JUUUUSSST in case ;)

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] myxmastrmike:
UPDATE!

I took the plunge since it's hella slow at the office today...

Flashed the ROM, rebooted made sure it installed fine, then I went back to recovery and installed both the ZVA rpm/tz and the modem and everything works great.. my data speeds fly.

This didn't give me the SD card issue that BarePop ZV8 did (I tried everything I could to get it to fix with the help of people in the thread but it just wouldn't go away, so I went back to BarRin)

So i'm going to run it going forward and as long as the test drive is good i'll keep it.

Installed xposed/Tweaksbox and that is running fine... Installing all my apps right now so by the time I head home everything should be all set up.

I'll report back with any issues ;)
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Should I still flash V2 if I want to use Xposed or should I flash V1 and delete the lg apk(s) with a root explorer? Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] TekWarren:
I flashed today at work as well! Followed the instructions to the letter and no issues I've seen so far. I did flash the zva modem right after flashing the ROM (no system boot between). Should I/do I need to flash the partitions as well? -I guess honestly I'm not sure what that does or if I need it.

Seems to be working fine as is!
[Sprint LG G3] DHSoccer4:
do you have the link on what xposed you are using? Im runnning sprint ls990 and on BarePaPa ZVA and have held off using xposed until its been safer to use, and it sounds likes it is now.
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Does anyone know how to delete the weather app after installing xposed? I deleted the smart cover apk and the concierge apk but cant find the weather services. Anyone know where its hiding and if I can delete it?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
I didn't include the modem, so you have the option to stay on zv8 modem.

As for the rpm,tz partitions, I'm not fishing them, but it's your option. I really don't know if we need them.

Dig through the OP for the apps I removed. I think there's one more you need. But I don't run xposed, so I don't know for sure.

Here is test #3 Navel-Kernel-V4.3-zva-v3.zip
[Sprint LG G3] asacado:
I keep getting an error 16 when trying to make calls and no texts go out, even though I get data.
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Should I be using V1 or V2? Also, I've had several people tell me that they've been calling me all day and my phone never rings. I have half to full bars all day long.
[Sprint LG G3] asacado:
For anyone experiencing no calls or texts and get an error 16, call sprint, they will provision your phone and then reflash stock, flash barepapa. You wont need to flash the modem since the stock rom does. Also do this if you format your internal storage.
[Sprint LG G3] djerick3:
Im flashed to Boost Mobile so that option is out for me but thanks anyway. There has to be another way. I did ota again and to no avail.
[Sprint LG G3] BonezMontana:
If this is ok to post, try flashing this guy's file. This is what I've been using since ZV8 and it works for ZVA.

Is there a way to change the dpi to around 560 or 570??

[Sprint LG G3] gff1stof3:
Nice so far, good work Engine!!!

Just loaded BarePopAV2, I followed instructions exactly with one exception, I flashed the ZVA modem right afterward before the reboot. Updated PRL and profile afterward. Loading apps now will check back if I have any issues. May try the new kernel as well after a backup. Really nice to get this out so fast man, absolutely awesome!
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
I got security error on this one too. Is it possibly because I'm on the stock rooted zva, not BarePapA? I would think it would work the same on either unless there is a difference in them on some security setting?

Edit: I'm on TWRP 2.8.7.0

Let me know if there is anything else I can try. I appreciate the effort, and will crash test all the test kernels I see lol. :)
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Dpi can also be done through the build.prop. But you have to make sure permissions are rw-r-r before you reboot or you end up in a bootloop.

As for reception, I'll post this again. Dialer codes:

##UPDATE#

or

##SCRTN#

but probably need

##RTN# along with your MSL number. Or call Sprint as suggested above.

There are 2 choices for roms. V1 or V2. Your choice.
[Sprint LG G3] dyliho:
So check this out... For two days now my battery life, signal, and data, apps, calls and texts have all been working fantastic... However - when I go to power off and restart it does not restart and I have to do a battery pull... It wont respond to my plugging it in to charge or anything but will boot normally after the battery pull. I havent tried to straight power and and then restart as I am a bit worried but everything else is top notch. Any ideas on this and a possible fix anyone? Thanx for any guidance...
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
What rpm,tz partitions do you have? I would guess it's if it's anything other than zv4/6, that's your issue.
[Sprint LG G3] dyliho:
I actually did flash the zva partitions yesterday. Never thought about that being the problem. So I will try flashing the zv4/6 partitions. Do I need to do a full wipe before hand or any wipe to revert?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Nope. Just flash them

Edit: You may need to update profile/prl after
[Sprint LG G3] dyliho:
Heck Yeah the ZV4/6 rpm and partitions worked! Rebooted fine and dandy...

I honestly had no idea what they even mean and flashed the ZVA.zip just thinking if everything matched it would be better. Thanks a million engine95 and keep up the awesome work bro!!!!
[Sprint LG G3] galaxyhero:
Can someone please send me the the apn-conf.xml and possibly activation folder thanks
[Sprint LG G3] Jguff5:
Quick question

If I did a a full wipe and flashed this ROM coming from a stock ROM, then I did the##873283# and updated, DO I need to flash the ZV4/ZV6/ZV8/ZVA zips??

Thanks in advance

Anyone having battery drain from WiFi Calling? Mine is huge and I don't use it. I only went in there once to make sure it wasn't on after I checked my battery stats.
[Sprint LG G3] goatman101:
Yep, was killing me too. I froze it with titanium backup. I never use it.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Just a little reading guys, but I'll post it again. ;)

##UPDATE# in the dialer will fix it
[Sprint LG G3] Valsorim:
for those who like me

1.did not have tethering/wifi hotspot/bluetooth tethering show up in settings>more>wireless and networks AND

2.use Textra and APN was not figured automagically, had to be manually edited

using ##RTN# fixed both these for me, you will need your MSL to reset phone. if you dont have it yet, go here http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042 and follow directions in post #4, or call Sprint to get it.

P.S. ALSO this will facory reset your phone
[Sprint LG G3] Lurien:
So the best combination is ZVA modem with the ZV4/6 partitions?? Thanks.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Ymmv. But it seems to be.

I think because most of us still use/have the zv4 bootloader, that the higher numbered rpm,tz partitions will give use issues.

Also, and I've said this before, those that are rooting ZV8 and ZVA, may end up with issues with roms and kernels, because they're built for the older bootloader. Just an FYI.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
Maybe that's why I get the security error trying the kernel's jcfunk uploaded? Is there a way to find out what partitions and bootloader my phone is on? I have never done the rpm,tz's before, I have just flashed pre-rooted stock since I originally rooted with stump, and bump?
[Sprint LG G3] Psycario:
Just flashed with ZVA modem and partitions. Noticing a nice little increase in data speeds. Thanks for this. Can we use the ZV8 extreme mixer paths with this?
[Sprint LG G3] samepic:
Is there a reason why we can't select "Global" under Mobile Network per OP's instructions? I ask because my Mobile setting was changed to Global by Sprint to enable free International roaming.

I am currently on rooted ZV6 stock. Can I go straight to this ROM?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
No, I think it's a ramdisk issue. But I haven't had much time to mess with it yet.

I do have a new kernel I'm working on though. So look for it in about a week ish.

You might. I made the one in the rom from ZVA. I don't know for sure if there were changes between ZV8 and ZVA.

You should just need to flash the rom and modem and be good to go.

Global should still be available. You may need to update profile/prl. And/or do a dialer reset.
[Sprint LG G3] Psycario:
Extreme_ZV8_mixer works with this. Thanks again!

will i lose anything if i flash rpm/tz? i am curious to test them out.... but i've never flashed rpm/tz partitions...
[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
Figured this awhile back but you can get your sprint boot animation back by backing up and restoring your rom in twrp recovery.
[Sprint LG G3] TekWarren:
This ROM seems great for battery life so far. I put a full charge on my phone Thursday morning and flashed later morning shortly before noon. I put my apps back on set it up (I run fairly light) and I did have it plugged in for an hour on the drive home...but I didn't plug it in to charge again until this morning (Monday)! I was around the house most of the weekend connected to wifi with wifi calling on, my cell signal sucks at home. Anyway, I wasn't getting this much battery life previously even with the phone most in standby not being used. -And I used barrin kernal with tweaks including under volting 300mhz as low as it would go and be stable.
[Sprint LG G3] myxmastrmike:
I skimmed the other posts to see if this was answered but, just in case...

Go HERE and DL xposed-v66-sdk21-arm.zip and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

Go HERE and DL xposed_helper.zip from "my zip"

Boot to recovery and flash BOTH xposed-v66-sdk21-arm.zip and xposed_helper.zip

Reboot and install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk.

Next go HERE and DL [LP]G3_TWB_1.4.1(RC3).apk and install it

And you will be good to go.

As stated I was on BarRin ZV6, and I made a backup of my G3 Tweaks Box settings (using the backup option in G3TB itself) and I was able to successfully restore that backup on the LP version of G3TB and have it restore 99% of my tweaks (the only thing that didn't restore was the battery icon I like, but that took me 10secs and a reboot to set on my own...

Hope this helps!

Can this be dirty flashed over ZV8? (currently running BarePop)

Does the factory reset protection work if I'm still on the older bootloader or do I have to update to the ZVA bootloader for it to work?

[Sprint LG G3] drancid:
Can we use smart cover with xposed now?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Not really. Its new source. But it's up to you.

Most of us are still on the old bootloader. That's what's recommended. The update still works. At least as far as wiping int sd at least. Well, it didn't wipe it the only time I tried it anyway.

All the removed apps are in the op.

What is the downside to leaving the network on Global? I am finally getting phone calls at in places that my phone wouldn't ring. Its either a coincidence that they fixed the towers the same time I flashed this ROM, or something with the update made a difference. I just don't want to mess it up by switching to LTE/CDMA if i don't have to. I'm loving BarePapA, the battery life is great even with the stock kernel. Thanks again engine

This rom is great! I get the same standby time as if I were on kitkat. I leave my phone on overnight and it doesn't lose any % but instead, GAINZZ 1%. Good job packing/creating this rom Dev!
[Sprint LG G3] myxmastrmike:
So, I realized that I had not done the 'Go to "Settings, More, Mobile network, and select anything but "Global' stated in the OP...

But when I go to do it, as soon as I hit 'More...' I get this

I am not having any connection issues (as a matter of fact my data speeds are fantastic)

But, I still have to wonder WHY? lol...
[Sprint LG G3] stopeject:
I have the same issue. It existed since ZV8.
[Sprint LG G3] cabbieBot:
This is a known issue with the Bare ROMs and Xposed without a fix.

It also unfortunately keeps one from directly accessing the hotspot menu, since it is also in the 'More' submenu. In case anyone is running into that issue with Bare + Xposed, an effective workaround is installing Wi-Fi Tethering Widget. It's a simple toggle widget that will turn on the hotspot and give you access to the Hotspot menu directly to configure its settings (ssid, password, etc) when you tap the notification, thus skipping past the 'More' menu that crashes settings.

Another issue with Bare ROMs and Xposed is that screenshot taking is borked. You can still take screenshots, but when you do so you get a toast message saying "Cannot Take Screenshot" and then a notification that says "Saving screenshot..." that cannot be dismissed unless you reboot.
