[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
I've got one kinda newbishly stupid question, how do I get GApp's from Play Store, is the play store already installed?

Get my G Stylo tomorrow will be KDZ'ing it to hopefully fix a Activation Protection Lock, I got the phone for $55 bucks because a eBay seller couldn't fix this issue, otherwise clean metroPCS IMEI mint condition physically and all that, so hopefully LG Flash Tools and the latest KDZ will fix that issue and leave me with a good working phone in which then I'll be flashing this rom.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
You get the play store and the few things it needs to run. You can always flash a gapps package if you like.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
Okay ? cool yeah it's sort of contradictory explanation, you need play store to get gapps but in order to get play store you need gapps. LMAO!
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pmacevad:
Would it be possible to get a zip of the kernel for this rom that I could use with the stock rom that is posted, or could someone kindly help me on a how to do it myself (with devs permission, of course). Tia
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lerner17:
Not a lot of activity on this thread lately, kind of concerning. I understand with the holidays everyone has been busy and I'm not asking for a specific ETA because that's just rude, but I'm wondering not when it will be released but if the ROM is still being worked on.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bradym512:
Definitely bring worked on. T Mac, I, and Sirhc are working on CM13 and within the next few days a new cm12 build fixing the remaining known bugs except color Calibration and the black screen on the older Stylos.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lerner17:
Sweet. Thanks for the update, fam.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Vinsane:
For those of us still running stock...should we go ahead and flash or wait for the update?
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
Might not be for a couple months, so might as well flash who knows we might get a version beforehand that's able to be flashed via custom recovery so why not all it takes is a KDZ flash.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
Yeah man if you want to try it out don't let the marshmallow thing stop you, like n1nj4Lo said, cross that bridge when you come to it.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Vinsane:
Did it...oddly enough i can't get my network internet working. Was fine before I flashed..i entered the same settings as before and nothing. I can make calls..but no internet. I flashed the metro files too (metro phone) and all works except that. Any ideas before i flash my oem backup?
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lerner17:
By that do you mean LTE or from a router? I would think flashing the Metro bootstack would clear the issue if you mean mobile network. Check your APN settings and see if there's one selected. If you mean WiFi I'm not sure what to do about that, sorry
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Vinsane:
It's the LTE not working. I guess I could try to reclassified the metro bootstack. I just reverted and haven't messed with it again today

Working great here. Just got my phone a few days ago and installed this Rom and it's great. Everything working, and none of the mess I have always tried to clean up on my other phones with no roms available.

Big Thanks to GT
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] canofale:
Hi Folks. Thank you for all the great discussions going on here in this forum. I wanted to confirm one thing before I flash this Katana Rom just to be sure. I have a Metro Stylo that I'm using on T-Mo. Its rooted and TWRP'd & everything is working great. After I flash the Katana Rom, do I flash the partitions for which carrier I will be using the phone on (T-Mo)? or the the carrier that the phone comes from (Metro)? Thanks again for your support and I am super excited to use this Rom, It looks killer!
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
He means the carrier it's branded to, so yes metroPCS Partitions.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] canofale:
Thank you n1nj4Lo. What do these partitions do exactly? I thought the phones the same. Would flashing the T-mobile partition zip turn it into a H631 and cause it to operate on that network better or just cause problems? Sorry for the dumb questions I just don't understand and this is the first time flashing partitions has ever been mentioned. I am coming from the nexus platform and there was never anything like this.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
Nope it wouldn't unlock the phone, not sure what they do either first time seeing them too and one user reported that flashing the t-mobile partitions on his metro model made it connect faster and better signal et cetera, so IDK Really. LoL

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/flash-ms631-to-h631-t3283927

Like they said these newer devices don't have any unlock codes and so the only way you can sim unlock it is to pay 3 months and use the app then to get metro to unlock it for ya.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] canofale:
Strange. Mine was already unlocked. Do you think I still need to flash the partitions?

I guess also that if I ever need to go back to stock that I should flash the Metro stock zip vs. the T-mo stock zip because mine is the ms631?

I think maybe If I do need to flash the partitions that Ill flash the metro partition zip, make sure everything is working and then flash the t-mo partition zip to see if anything is better. I guess I can always flash the metro back over the t-mo if I have problems.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
Yea to be on the safe side, I think the partitions are system side stuff, like lte bands, bootloaders, efs and modems and so on to be used maybe carrier ware too.

Is there a way to turn off the battery % in the battery icon on the nav bar?
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
I think you'd need to use xposed for that

[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lerner17:
Use an Xposed module (Xposed is already baked into the ROM itself) called Gravity Box [LP] and you can do status bar tweaks there

Not a big issue but one thing I noticed is I can't buy a app on my pc and get it to go through. No problems on free apps or previously installed paid apps, but for a new paid app I have to do from my device.

I didn't install any GAPPS package just put on the apps that I want, but guessing there is some google app not installed.

Idea's or suggestions. Thanks for your help
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pmacevad:
Stupid question but i just don't know. How do you boot to recovery if you bootloop? What's the button combo? Tia
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
From powered off press and hold volume down and power until it vibrates and the lg logo appears, then quickly release and then press and hold those two buttons again. It's going to say you're about to do a factory reset blah blah, if you have twrp it won't touch anything and just boot into recovery.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pmacevad:
So, don't worry about that factory reset mumbo jumbo its warning me about then since i have twrp? Thanks for the info.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
Yes pretty much

is it a most to flash metro partitions?, I'm on metro /rooted/ twrp/ and didn't flash the partitions n every thing seems fine
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
I personally think he put them there for a reason but I'm not sure what that is and you're not the only one that's not had problems avoiding the partition flash so, if it works or works I guess?

Thanks bud,

How is this ROM running for you?

Sorry to ask but don't want want wife to get pissed. Lol
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lerner17:
There's some things I would change if I knew how, but overall it's running much better than stock. I'm looking forward to Marshmallow coming to our devices here in a bit, whether it's through T-Mo finally releasing the update (which means going back to stock and doing the OTA...) or someone makes a kdz or a custom, stable ROM from it because I hear the battery life, even with GameTheory's improvements, is still way better than anything Lollipop.

I would recommend getting Greenify and Servicely (paid/donate version) to help your battery life even further. I get about 5 and a half hours screen time before I get around 20%
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DorkyDev:
And don't forget wakelock detector!! It's awesome in combination with use of Greenify.
[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] unbreakable360:
So far so Good minor issues when using certain apps occasionally the status bar overlaps over the top of the screen for some odd reason covering the top portion. Also I'm just realizing I didn't flash the lgbloat that might be why my clock file manager and web were missing but I don't see them in the files either .... And what exactly are the speaker and equalizer files for? Great rom though thanks

Ps: is it at all possible to implement an option to use my sd card as default storage? Great rom nonthless thanks

Xposed is already baked into the ROM. You don't have to install it, only modules. If you have flashed, check the app drawer and it should be there

[LG G Stylo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Blu8:
When you install flashify you have to download the TWRP recovery for the Stylo off XDA, its not an officially supported device so its not going to be in any lists. Once you have TWRP installed you can make a proper backup.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piupiuno:
Hey everyone,

I'm having a problem after trying to flash CM12.1 on a i8190l.

The instructions I basically followed are the ones mentioned here: novafusion.pl/tutorials/installation-guide-golden/ and I used the rom Lollipop 5.0.2 (CyanogenMod 12.0) 20150428 stable with the Odin app to install it.

All went well up to the point 12. Click on Wipe, then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.

At this point I received a FAILED message with an error message saying below that /data couldn't be mounted. After that, I rebooted the phone, and it started loading the first android screen apparently. After a few minutes, Android threw up an error saying that it couldn't encrypt the data and had to reboot. After that reboot, the system won't stop going over a loop boot that flashes TeamWin over and over again.

I can still get to the download mode, what is the recommended step to take from here? Is it possible to recover the OS? Do I have to worry about the battery running out, or does it charge up while on download mode/other mode?

Thanks for your help

PD: just noticed I used the wrong forum according to the model... I have created a thread in the correct one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sid3091:
Hey guys, ive just bought one of these and its on 4.4.2. Its not giving me a notification for the lollipop OTA, but the HTC sync software says there is one. Now my question is, Should I root and unlock bootloader before doing the update or after? Which one would be a less time consuming process? Also, are there any methods of unlocking the bootloader without using the sunshine app? I guess ill pay if i have no choice, but ill have to wait till next month before i have the money to do so and im itching to remove this godawful verzion bloat. One last thing, i bought the phone from a reseller in India, and am using it on a GSM network currently, but will use it with a CDMA one in future (its working now, tested on 2 CDMA networks). I just want to make sure that updating will not stop it from working with Indian CDMA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vladniko:
You can use the weaksauce method. Then I would flash the 5.1 lolliGPE ROM. Its a well-developed rom.

Hey,

Just rooted m8 verizon.

They only thing which is actually works right now it Sunshine.

You can purchase it for 25$ from here:

http://theroot.ninja/

After that, you download SuInstaller, then restart the phone.

Then - install from google play "SuperSu" app.

Enter it, choose - "normal", wait a few secs.

Thats it. You have permanent root.

Good luck, mate
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sid3091:
Thanks man, sunshine it is. Will probably do it next month. Just one thing, does it work on 5.0 or should i stick around on 4.4.2?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
MUCH easier to do on 4.4.2! Run Sunshine - bingo.

On 5.0.1 (and only the earlier version 4.17.605.5 - not on the latest update 4.17.605.9, you have to downgrade to .5 to get S-Off at all) you have to jump through quite a few hoops with King Root for Sunshine to gain root long enough to S-Off.

S-Off NOW.

Then update every which way you like: OTA if you didn't change anything else, flashing a RUU or just the 5.0.1 firmware and a corresponding ROM - your choic
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sid3091:
Thanks! S-off now and a 5.0 ROM seems to be the way to go!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gurm:
5.0 ROM or 5.0 OTA if you don't mind the VZW bloat. I have been putting off loading a ROM on this replacement unit because I very much like Sense and I'm waiting for some stable Sense7 ROMS that don't have a bunch of VZW caveats. Dottat has a stock ROM and a stock debloated ROM which is pretty ok.

You basically just have to pick Sense or GPE or AOSP, once you're S-OFF you really can't go wrong unless you are hasty or don't read instructions.

Hey ive finally got s-off and bootloader unlock via sunshine, but i cant seem to be able to install twrp. it just gets stuck on the entering recovery screen. Ive tried installing it via windroid and flashify(using weaksauce), but neither seems to be working. Any idea what to do?

Yes that could be possible. Did you try an older one?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sid3091:
nope. any recommendations on which version to try?
