Having real problems upgrading via dirty flash. If I am using the latest Banks Dynamic GAPPS (8-15) and upgrading from 8-13 to 8-16. If I flash just the update, I get lots of google app force closes on boot. I also lose Google now launcher, and if I try to switch to Trebuchet, (settings>home), I still have no launcher. This persists on re-boot.

If I update, and re-flash gapps, I retain the launcher, but I am missing Play Store, and receive lots of play services errors.

The only way I can currently update is to clean flash.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
i have had similar issue using Banks Gaaps.

I do not have an issue using the 8.1.15 version though. i tried flashing the 8.12 version and got a whole bunch of errors too.
[Verizon LG G2] DirgeExtinction:
The only negative I have with this rom is that the volume is super low. Way lower than what I had previously. To get a decent hearable volume, it needs to be about 70% high.

getting an error message in hangouts when sending pictures (via SMS/MMS)

MMS Cannot Be Stored.

anyone else getting this?
[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
MMS is broken in Hangouts 4.0, apparently Google is looking into it.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
ah. well isnt that lovely.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I was able to successfully send an MMS just now with Hangounts 4.0, I'm on PACRom though...You guys sure it's not a CM issue?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
so i was testing it with a friend earlier. i can send MMS, but i get an error message saying "message cannot be stored"

i also cannot receive MMS.

going to try flashing a new build to see if the issue persists
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I'm not having any issues/errors sending and receiving mms with Hangouts 4.0. Hopefully the new build fixes the issue for you :good:
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
think it did. can't be too sure yet though

Edit:

Issue appears to be reasoned on the 8/19 build. I was on the 8/14 previously
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Advanced Mode. Does anyone have access to it in Settings-> About Phone
[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
I haven't tried sending one, but I'm completely unable to receive them using Hangouts 4.0. I had to revert to 3.3 in order to fix it (I tried resetting APNs and various other things to no effect). I don't think it's just a CM or Verizon thing though, based on this support thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/hangouts/GI_GoaFWzRI
[Verizon LG G2] DirgeExtinction:
When we flash a more recent nightly, do we also have to flash the recovery that's available with that nightly?

Ex: 8/20 recovery with 8/20 nightly. I current have the 8/15 recovery.
[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
No you don't, and you don't actually have to use the CM recovery at all if you don't want to.
[Verizon LG G2] DirgeExtinction:
Thanks. :)

Anyone else experiencing and LTE disconnect and the only way to get it back is using the APN/airplane mode trick.

It wouldn't be so bad but my phone doesn't even hold LTE for a minute anymore. Max 30-45 seconds.

[Verizon LG G2] DirgeExtinction:
I wonder if there's any news on the very low volume levels
[Verizon LG G2] TooYellow:
So far everything has been working great. The only issue I have is that the battery life isnt as good as stock (1 day vs 2 days) but I can deal with that to have CM! I wish the camera were faster but I'm assuming that's a problem with LG.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] Nandrew:
Does anyone have a secret decoder ring to decipher my baseband? Lol

Its almost the same as stock. The only difference is stock has "VS98039A-" in front of all of that.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
That's good to know, but unfortunately still facing the issue where LTE will disconnect and can't get it back with the APN/airplane mode trick. Is there some type of log I can provide?

So yeah, haven't bothered to update since the 8/10 build since things were going so well with it, and now that i'm updated to 8/26 Chrome now gives a non-stop "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped." error. Fantastic.
[Verizon LG G2] viper909:
That'll be fixed in tomorrow's nightly. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/107747/
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
Any word on the APN or Bluetooth caused reboot problems?
[Verizon LG G2] S51B14:
Does anybody else have problems with Google Play Music stopping randomly, after a minute or two when playing music?

I have had this problem with CM12 and because of that I switched to Cloudy G2. With this Rom I did not have any issues, but after coming back to cyanogen the problem came back.

I enjoy this Rom overall but this thing makes me crazy. Especially because I use the all inclusive option, which I pay for.
[Verizon LG G2] zborn:
I'm not on CM12.1 but on RR 5.5.4. I had something like that some time ago and it turned out to be some defective files on my phone. Did you by any chance check that? If so, and you continue to have the same then i wouldn't know what it might be.

[Verizon LG G2] S51B14:
[MENTION=2156307]zborn[/MENTION]

What kind of defective files do you mean?

Like .mp3s and stuff like that?

I have done several (partially not on purpose) factory resets, since I encountered this issue for the first time and even wiped the whole data partition.
[Verizon LG G2] zborn:
Yes. Mp3 files. Some of them were corrupted and were making the player stop playing and skip the song and even FC sometimes...

[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Just curious tho. Not that I want to kill the vibe as I hope it fixes it.

But curious as to how that commit fix our issues?

It's not the only APN commit being merged tho so I really hope so!!
[Verizon LG G2] Nandrew:
It's for Rogers, roger. I got all excited. Is it possible to wear you out your APN settings by switching it at all the time? Dur dur dur...
[Verizon LG G2] jrk190:
Just found this, pretty excited to try it... Someone said this still has the issue with 4g/lte not working?
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
LTE works on this build but for some (I know of myself and another) we have had issues where LTE will cut out/disconnect and stay on 3G.

The only way I've been able to get LTE back is by toggling the APN's/putting phone into airplane mode.

There have been several commits related to APN's merged that are hopefully included in the next nightly (unfortunately we weren't signed off for a snapshot build) and might fix the issues.
[Verizon LG G2] jrk190:
Sweet. That's what I meant.
[Verizon LG G2] jrk190:
Have noticed this has killer performance but the battery has taken a toll.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Installed latest nightly and still encountering the issue unfortunately.

And I sure hope not. I do that often. Except when I'm on WiFi.

Anyone out there having issues with your device not showing up in windows explorer to transfer files to it?

Interestingly enough the driver is installed correctly, it shows up in device manager, and I even get the option to eject the phone but I can't see the contents of it via windows explorer. I've tried on both a windows 7 and 10 machine and at first I thought it was my specific phone but then I tried to plug in my nexus 7(also running official cm12.1) and I get the same result.

So I'm wondering if this could potentially be a CyanogenMod issue?

Thanks in advance!

[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
Nope, working fine over here. Plug the phone in go into storage in settings and tap the 3 dot menu and toggle media device, make sure the other 2 (camera and charge only) are off. If that doesn't work then try a different cable, that cable may work with your nexus 7 but I've had weird issues where certain cables work with certain devices but not others in the past.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
Tried that.

But what I find completely weird is that it shows up in device manager as installed correctly.

It shows up in the menu to "safely remove hardware"

But it won't show up in file explorer. So its not like the my pc isn't recognizing it's just not in explorer.

Has anyone else seen the android pay issue where it won't add cards because it doesn't recognize the version? I've followed another xda thread and their solutions didn't work. I haven't tried xposed yet. Ideas?

[MENTION=1584289]Nandrew[/MENTION]

That's what my baseband says too- Are you having issues with no data/ no LTE....My APN settings list 7 or 8 different options....and none of them work? I am coming from stock rom- rooted- twrp 2.7.x.x- twrp 2.8.7.1- flashed the 39a radio files just to see if it would change anything....no dice!.....at a loss here- everything else is running super smooth- but can't use rom without DATA!!- any insights are welcome!
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
Yes. Nothing I have done has gotten android pay to work for me.
[Verizon LG G2] TooYellow:
I'm having the same issue with LTE dropping, sometimes to just an ! and not 3G.

Is everyone still having to reinstall gapps each time they flash?

Things are otherwise good.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
Yes, you have to reflash gapps each update. To fix lte just toggle APNs and it should come back. Sometimes you need a reboot, and then toggle APNs

This seems to be an ongoing issue on many devices with CM12.1... I have this bug on both Moto G and LG G2.

Anyone notice that the system keeps switching the roaming mode back to "Automatic"?? I set it to "Home Only" and some time later I end up roaming and find it is back on Automatic. It also reverts to Automatic on every reboot.

Are you talking about this?

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146

Were you able to get it working on the VS980 without the troubleshooting steps? And I assume this would have to be reflashed after every CM update correct?
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
looks about right

you have to install an init.d enabler app and change the selinux status or else it wont work i think
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
yes, works fine for me on 12.1 just by installing these two apps and then flashing the zip

(by apps, i mean init.d enabler and selinux status changer

Anyone know of a way to get Android Pay working with CM12.1 Yet?
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
I've tried the SuperSU method, rootcloak Xposed module (new lollipop one) and the no device check Xposed module and all have failed for me.

So my guess is that Android pay is checking to see if your on cm software.
[Verizon LG G2] rockcipher:
I've read around a bunch, and I've not seen anyone on cyanogenmod report success.

Android Pay might push me onto a Nexus 5X.
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Plenty of reddit threads with people running CM 12.1 using Android Pay...not necessarily on this device.

Personally, I am able to install the app...add a card (which it accepts), verify the card CVC and expiration... and then get a message that my card provider does not support Android Pay (which is correct as it is a PayPal card).

Nothing to suggest that it would not work with a valid card...

I know that it is required to have a secure lockscreen (PIN, pattern, password).

Some say it is required to be at stock dpi (480) and to restrict root for the app by using SuperSU to disable it...but this isn't confirmed.

I will test with a valid card tomorrow and report back
[Verizon LG G2] Zimeron:
I flashed the latest rom over JPCs and I can receive mms, but not send them. I flashed the recommended bootstack as well. LTE works and it's using the correct APN. I've tried toggling said APN as well as wifi, any other ideas? Using Google's Messenger app. Hangouts has the same issue.
[Verizon LG G2] rockcipher:
I always get the "Android pay cannot be used" error after accepting the card issuer terms of a supported card (the last step of adding a card to Android Pay).

When adding a supported card, I consistently get this logcat error: "09-21 16:02:06.511 E/QSEECOMAPI: (292): Error::Cannot open the file /vendor/firmware/widevine.mdt"

Does anyone know a way (build.prop tag?) to permanently disable roaming on CM 12.1? I can select "home only" in settings, but it does not stick. It also reverts to "Automatic" on every reboot.

I use a Verizon MVNO and want to only use Verizon towers... but my phone is constantly bouncing to different roaming partners and killing my data connection.

I believe this may be a CM-wide issue, not a VS980-specific issue. But there has to be a way to disable it completely...

Anybody on the latest nightly build have all their status bar notification icons messed up?

For example the sms notification shows as a signal bar? I dirty flashed the latest nightly build (9/23) over the previous one.

[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:

APN and LTE Research

So I have been having the issue where I periodically lose LTE. It happens on almost every reboot as well. I decided that maybe recreating the APN would help, so I removed all of them and manually recreated the "Verizon Internet" APN at the end.

In limited test, it seems that I no longer lose data, but I also no longer connect to LTE at all! It seems like it is limited to 3G for some reason. Any ideas?

I'll probably try a reinstall soon if it doesn't recover on its own.
[Verizon LG G2] El Ha$on:
This is still an issue that from my understanding [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] was working on it.

It has gotten better but the way to get LTE working again was toggling the APNs and/or airplane mode.

Slight annoyance I know, but I'm sure it will be worked out soon.

I did forget to mention this in a previous post of mine in a different thread [emoji20]
[Verizon LG G2] jsight:
Yeah, I know that it has been a common problem for some people. I was just trying to provide some details of my experience in case anything helpful could be gleaned from it.

The really odd thing is that LTE still didn't work after a wipe and reinstall. I had to wipe and run a stock rom for a few minutes to get LTE going again.

Anyway it definitely seems more reliable than it used to be. It seems like now I only lose it on a reboot and maybe not even every time then.
[Verizon LG G2] wsw1640:
Has anyone not flashed this bootstack? If so how does your phone work without it?
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
I have the same problem. I have to go back to stock to fix it. I usually wait a couple of days in case they fix it.
[Verizon LG G2] Plesk8:
Not running that bootstack seems to work great for me and my wife. I restored to stock on hers a few days back and still no loss of LTE on the 9/26 build. Although I am expecting some random needs to reset LTE via APN trick or airplane mode as I have not heard yet it is fully resolved. I'm also not running the bootstack on my phone and needing to reset LTE is rare, like every 1 in 10 reboots.

Everything else seems to work flawlessly except for the known issues others have mentioned (Android Pay, etc)

My method of flashing is:

Starting with Stock 39a - make sure GPS, LTE, and sensors all work

Root using One Click Root Gui

Fix aboot and install TWRP with free app Autorec which makes it stupid easy.

Fully wipe, then flash this ROM + CGApps

That's about all, and it works excellent.

My biggest issue is getting the right LG/Verizon drivers installed on my computer. I had a nightmare of a time the other night trying to get the LG Flash Tool to work with the KDZ method, This is needed to get back to stock with the LG Flash Tool and also for the One Click Root. I finally had to try on a different computer and it worked right away.... who knows?
[Verizon LG G2] jsight:
I am also on the 9/26 build (I assume this is what you meant as well) and have only had to do the APN thing one time, and that was on the initial boot. It is definitely a much better experience than I have seen in the past.
[Verizon LG G2] Plesk8:
Yep, meant 9/26.. (fixed my post, thx)
[Verizon LG G2] bsg273:
Yeah back when I was rooting I know I absolutely had to uninstall my existing drivers and install the latest drivers from LG's website to get One Click Root and LG Flash Tool to work. Ya know this whole thing would be a lot easier if LG just wouldn't put their dog vomit of a UX on their awesome hardware.
[Verizon LG G2] ddzado:
What all goes into getting LTE signal besides the radios? I'm assuming the apn is correct. Why does flashing stock fix it? Can I flash just a stock radio?
[Verizon LG G2] Plesk8:
Someone smarter than me would have to explain the technicals.. but it is frustrating how going back to stock is required to restore some things working. Its not just LTE, but also the GPS, if you didn't manage to get a GPS lock while on stock, you probably won't ever get one on a custom ROM... until you flash back to stock first, get the GPS lock, and then install the custom ROM again... I agree it makes no sense, and the G2 is my first phone in 4 I've modded that has ever had this nonsense.

I should add that my wife's g2's LTE was completely gone on this ROM.. 3g only, and i tried flashing radios and bootstacks and nothing helped, except going back to stock, and now it runs like a champ.
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Strange, I have had the same issues on every device I attempt to use CM12 on. I believe it has less to do with the device and almosy everything to do with CM12 being a disorganized monster of shoddy coding and hacks.

After months of trying to workaround, write patches, and make basic functions work on CM12, I installed a 175MB kitkat 4.4.4 ROM just to see how it worked... it installed in about 20 seconds, initial boot was about 30 seconds, and LTE popped up about 2 seconds after the welcome screen.... zero issues after a week. Zero. CyanogenMod as we know it appears to have died with CM12
[Verizon LG G2] Plesk8:
Do you you think certain devices are supported better than others?

Case in point: the VS980 we know and love, that still has awesome, adequate hardware for its age and price point... and the developer (OP of this thread) has yet to acknowledge the LTE issue or give any status updates on it...

I assumed the higher profile devices get the attention and the ones like ours are almost an afterthought (like, how there was no ROM and official support for VS980 on Lollipop for HOW long?)
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
CM builds are generally just "bot builds". There is not a team working to produce nightly builds for this device...just "maintainers" who submit changes every now and then.

The problems with LTE and with wifi and data connections in general are widespread and rampant. They have existed since day one of CM12. The fact that they remain shows how broken CM has become. And surely, AOSP itself has rushed to produce bigger and better systems at the expense of quality control.

The fact is that the VS980 is a Jellybean legacy device. CM12/lollipop builds are never going to be developed to the efficiency that JB/KK have been.

Honestly, try a CM11 based ROM on this device after using CM12 for a few months. It is AMAZING!
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
To be fair, KK is far more matured. It was released in Oct 2013, whereas 5.1 was released in March 2015. It was only in July/Aug 2015 that the lg-devs team worked to update all g2 sources from jellybean to a lollipop base (for the vs980 that would be from 12b to 39a), so there are bound to be some bugs hanging on, and it has gotten alot better in the last 2 weeks. Besides that, I remember lots of random reboot issues on cm11, until JPC built his own kernel source based on the KK firmware and shared it with all of us.

Also, KK was seriously focused on running nicely on lower end devices, so its bound to run GREAT on something like the G2.

I'm not trying to start any arguments here in any way, just providing some food for thought. CM11 is definitely a matured product on the g2 now and runs great, but CM12.1 is doing every bit as good for the time its been available and the only reason it might not reach full potential is because of Marshmallow's release being right around the corner.

On another note, the issues we are having with apn's I have seen before - on the xt912 with cm11.
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Yes, that is what I am saying. CM12 is not designed for this device, and the only reason most of us use it is because 12 is more than 11...not because of any improvement in function.

But beyond that, it is just a mess. The coding is fragmented and poorly commented. It looks messy and disorganized. CM7, CM9, CM10 never looked that bad. CM11 is pretty clean. But CM12 is just a mess.

If I could reliably get wifi and/or mobile data to stay on when my screen is off...on any of the four devices I have running CM12, I might stick with it. But after almost a year of waiting for a fix...and now a device with additional LTE bugs... I am heading back to old builds that actually work, and that have code that is readable.
