mobile hotspot

I can't get mobile hotspot application to open. Two Clean installs including reinstalling the 35b bootstack. I have attached a photo of the error message and logcat. The only application I've added is the logcat application. I set my mobile data to LTE CDMA instead of the default global and did not change the default name or password for the hotspot. Perhaps no one is having issues with this because they have a strong LTE connection but at the cabin where I live in I only have a 3G signal. My phone is a Verizon LG 3 from 2014 and has never taken a ota update from verizon. I'M using latest TWRP to flash.

Thanks XDABBEB FOR SHARING YOUR MM BUILD WITH US.

I had the same error and installed his 46a hotspot mod (which is the same in this rom) and it works like it should.
[Verizon LG G3] Supashawn:
No sir. I don't use anything like that. Phone is very basic. Today is my first day on 3.1, been on 2.0 for.... Long time. It only happened while talking on the phone. I am using Bluetooth and first I tried reviewing my contacts, then Google photos did the same thing. I will update if I figure anything out.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would try starting from scratch with the 10B TOT. TOTs fix things that nothing else can.

Did you use LG Backup, Titanium Backup or anything else to restore data other than just Google's restore?

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

Did you flash any of debloat zips?

Please delete. Posted in wrong forum.

Had the same issue when I installed from 2.0 without a wipe. I initially thought it was an Xposed issue. I since then did a full wipe (data, internal memory, system and all Cache) and installed this again and no issues with screen overlay now. Still have not installed Xposed again.
[Verizon LG G3] slopenut:
No sir no debloat zip no back up of data just use Google for my contacts no other app backups from Google or any other app/service. I assume mobile hotspot works for you. I will try flashing the 46a hotspot mod later today. I thought it is already part of the rom. I forgot to post this is XDABBEB 3.1 that l am flashing.
[Verizon LG G3] slopenut:
mobile hotspot

To fix my mobile hotspot error message I flashed Xdabebbs 46a hotspot mod. Thanks to the member that suggested that. I will give you a thanks after this post.

Now it's time to load this amazing rom up with apps and use my unlimited verizon data plan.....and donate to XDABBEB for his work

As mentioned, the hostpotprovision.apk in my other thread is the same exact one as included here. Verizon/LG haven't changed that app since 46A, so while flashing it seems to have gotten rid of the error, it isn't the root cause/fix. Do either of you remember how many apps showed as being optimized on first boot after flashing this? 151? 152? I think what may be going on is a lazy first dex2oat pass that isn't properly creating an oat for this for some people. If someone else is having this error, send me an email before flashing/doing anything so I can track it down.

EDIT: No need to get in touch. Figured out what was going on...I'll upload a new fw package shortly that should take care of it.

EDIT2: 3.1.1 is uploaded. Two minor fixes. Details in OP. Dirty flash is fine over 3.x.x with the usual caveats. No real need to update from 3.1.0 if you've already gotten hotspot provision working and are staying at 560dpi.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Jam up awesome. I'm glad I won't have to see the Damn ota pop up any more. I've gotten slack on the whole flashing thing.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Another +1 thanking [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] for this build. I'm three days in and it's just a stellar feat of software excellence. It's the first time on Marshmallow that I haven't felt an immediate urge to return to AOSP for smoothness reasons. Well done sir!
[Verizon LG G3] reliant_turbo:
this rom rocks! super smooth. even google chrome scrolling is smooth.

are all the file toggles still applicable?

i turned on sharpfix, battery, adrenoidler and turned up touchboost a little to 1190400.

i also use Greenify and turn on aggressive doze and doze on the go. im guessing this and the battery toggle wont interfere negatively.

also hotspot works on straight talk with the verizon compatible sim..... well once i changed the APN from VZWINTERNET to tracfone.vzwentp :) but i have to do that anyway.

thanks for a great rom.

Brian
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, and at least one in the list is new (toggling the USB autorun installer).
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Looks like our esteemed dev snuck a 3.1.1 update in there somewhere. :)
[Verizon LG G3] Đặng Đình Ngọc:
i can't use mobile internet , i can turn on it, but it's not working . the problem's simcard is not of vezion . i live in viet viem. some one can fix it ?. sorry my english too bad :(
[Verizon LG G3] b00ster23:
Have you tried using the international APN config file? ..also you may need to change the ro.target.operator to your carrier. Please keep in mind that this rom was developed as a VERIZON compatible variant. Always do a backup! Good luck :)
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Anyone else having issues with 3.1.1 and your phone reporting it's data roaming? I keep getting this every so often.

I did factory reset, then flashed the 35B bootstack, then wiped dalvik and cache, and then installed the ROM. It worked pretty well out of the gate, but now I'm getting these data roaming notifications every so often throughout the day. Not sure if ti's due to weak LTE signal or what. I never saw this with stock 48A, so I'm not sure if I missed something?

This also seems to cause issue with NFL Mobile. I have access to the live games, as well as the NFL network, but when the data goes haywire, NFL mobile tells me there was a connection error and that I need to check that I have mobile network connectivity which I do (I see three to four bars). I get this either with LTE or WiFi. A reboot seems to clear it and then it's fine for awhile, and then it goes all screwy again.

I'm going to reflash it all from scratch. I did restore some user apps from LG Backup tool. So, I'm not sure if that's the issue. However, the NFL Mobile app I installed from scratch from Google Play. I didn't restore system settings, just downloaded apps and their settings only. So when I reflash, I'm going to avoid restoring anything to see if that fixes it. Hate to have to install everything from scratch and lose my settings, but maybe a restore did something.

Otherwise, love the slimmed down ROM and would hate to have to go back to full stock. Especially since this has fixed a number of issues for me, including where I cannot play the Google Play version of Game of War because the keyboard hides the entire chat input window (ever since Marshmallow update). With this ROM, that issue has gone away. Must be something specific to LG's core code that has been removed (maybe the screen overlay stuff?) I know that the Amazon version of GoW works just fine though in stock ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No issues here this week. I don't use either of those apps. Did you restore data via any way other than Google or app's built-in backup/restore function? Such as through Titanium Backup or LG Backup? If so, try everything from a fresh start again without restoring data through those and see what happens.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I'm wondering if the radio or something is going bad in my phone. Not sure, but I still was having issues even without installing anything from backups (Google, TiBu, LG Backup Tool). Also, definitely NFL Mobile won't allow me to watch live games or the NFL Network. That could be more because of root, just like Android Pay. But, the triangle started coming up again in the notifications area, so something is going on, but it might be my phone. Not sure.

Since this is my daily phone, I need to ensure I always have cellular and data, so I'm going to be going back to 48A for now. But since it appears to be working for other people, that's why I think it might be my phone.

Still appreciate the help as well as appreciate the dev making this available. Hopefully, I can figure this one out as well.
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
Try changing to the following in your build.prop:

ro.build.target_operator=GLOBAL

ro.build.target_country=COM

And perhaps edit your APN as mentioned

I'd suspect a failing SIM before that. Also, the SIM slots on these phones are quite weak and prone to failure.
[Verizon LG G3] bjoestanley:
Thanks for the ROM [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]. Breathed new life into my G3.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Might be that, but two things that tell me it might not be that issue is:

I don't have this issue under pure stock

I just had the SIM card replaced by Verizon a few days ago when I couldn't get my IMEI written back to my phone (issue resolved since then).

So I'm not sure if it is that or not. I would think I would see the same issue running full unrooted, stock 48A.
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
As I said, the poor SIM slot itself can cause intermittent issues. Perhaps your phone or the towers in your area don't like the 35b modem, but I'd suspect the aforementioned, data you restored, or just plain coincidence as I know there's nothing in this fw that would cause what you're describing.

EDIT: since you've been having IMEI issues as well, that could also indicate something with your hw.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
The IMEI issue was when I flashed the 10B tot. It seems to always do that for some reason. It's just I forgot how to set Modem mode in 10B. Once I figured that out, I was able to write my IMEI back. :)

Otherwise, I've had the 35b modem before and never had an issue. Oh well. I'll stick with stock for now.
[Verizon LG G3] reliant_turbo:
So I have xcam LG installed as a system app on this rom, and I was trying to use app settings to change the DPI so that it fills the whole screen.

It isn't taking and app settings isn't asking for root access.

Do I need to convert xcam lg to a non system app first before it will rescale?

Thanks, Brian
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Whoa, I just FUBAR'd myself and flashed this over the 47A baseband, and rebooted. Boy, did my G3 not like that!

Now that I am back up and running, after the bricky bootloop with flashy lights: can I flash Baseband Booststack 35B over 47A stock, then flash 3.1.1?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just follow the directions in the first post. Flash the 35B Bootstack. The ROM needs the entire Bootstack contained in that package, not just the baseband (modem).

How were you using the 47A baseband (modem), or did you mean something else? The 46A and higher modem require the 46A and higher sbl1 partition, and the 46A+ sbl1 in combination with the 12B or lower aboot (bootloader) - which is required to be able to get into TWRP - bricks the device requiring, IIRC, the QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode recovery method. I'm just curious exactly what configuration you were coming from since I'm respectful incredulous that you were on the 47A modem, yet had TWRP installed/working.

If you mean coming from [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's stock pre-rooted 47A firmware, you have to flash the 35B Bootstack for that ROM too. Not to be confused with 100% completely stock (unrooted) 47A.

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
I'm sorry, i was a bit of an idiot in that post. I meant Bootstack, not baseband.

And, yes, I was on XDABBEB's Stock 47A package. I did recover with hardware factory reset mode, which got me to TWRP, and then I could re-flash the Stock Rooted 47A package (which correlates to the Bootstack I had installed). I guess I will leave good enough alone and not mess with it. I just thought I would try something different, but skipped the flashing step of the 35B Bootstack to go backwards.

Well, at least bricking recovery from this condition is possible.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No sweat, its a common confusion. Glad you recovered easily. Both his 47A rooted firmware and this ROM use the same 35B Bootstack - the reason being what I described in my previous post: the 47A modem/sbl1 and 12B aboot brick. Despite that they both use the same Bootstack, I tell users to always flash the correct Bootstack even if you think you're on the correct one. This isn't snake oil, paranoia or anything, its because some users think they're on the right Bootstack, but they've forgotten they did something out of the ordinary or what have you so if I just blanket tell everyone to always flash the correct Bootstack, its just to avoid the confusion or mayhem that occasionally happens. Its a good habit, and if you always flash the appropriate Bootstack after flashing a ROM, you'll never be wrong.

When you flashed this ROM had you wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART first? Sorry if you already mentioned - too lazy to look back now :)

I highly recommend you give this ROM another try. The difference in how this runs due to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's customizations is even much more noticeably smooth than the stock 47A or 35B. If you make a TWRP Backup you can always restore it after trying this ROM again if you have any problems again or just don't like it. FYI, always flash the appropriate Bootstack after restoring a TWRP Backup as well.
[Verizon LG G3] pistacios:
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here but it seems the built in toggles are not working for me. They all result in empty files after reboot. Files are there in /sdcard/_file here_, but they don't contain anything (0 file size).

I've created them using 2 different file managers, same result.

Any ideas?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Almost all of them should be empty. You create a file by those names - they're empty to begin with and stay that way. What makes you say they're not working? What ones are you using and specifically which ones aren't working and how did you determine that they're not working unless you're only saying they're not working because you expected the files not to be empty.

With almost all of the toggles, and the exception(s) are noted in the how to install section as you know, you're creating an empty file of a particular name. In at least one case the empty file you create will disappear after a reboot - the "disableapps" toggle, so that it doesn't bother re-disabling them every time you reboot.
[Verizon LG G3] pistacios:
The "touchboost" file instructions led me to believe all should have some sort of value/configuration in each file.

" Tune CAF touchboost by creating /sdcard/touchboost file and rebooting. If the file is empty, boost freq is 1036800 Hz. If you want a different one, just put the value inside the text file (no spaces)."

My misunderstanding, sorry.

I did confirm that the permissive toggle worked, so they should all be.

see screenshot:

Thanks for the reply.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! No sweat; yep, they'll only have values if you type them in. :)

For anyone interested, I am working on trying to add Circle Case support back to 3.1.1. I have edited lge-res.apk and have the circle case back in settings and have the cover apk and weather apks back where they need to go, but I have not getting the display to change when case is closed. Also when going in and selecting what apps appear in circle case it is blank, so still working through a few bugs. But if I can get it I will post a zip for anyone who would like to have this feature back.
[Verizon LG G3] jadams161:
Downloading now. Loved your rom on my G2. Tired of LP on the G3!

Install went perfect. I forgot how amazing your rom's are. Thanks a million!

I had busy box pro installed with my old rom. Any need to use it with this one?
[Verizon LG G3] Supashawn:
Well I finally got around to fixing my prob. Wiped everything, installed 35b and 3.1.1 and no more overlay issues. Wooohoooo
[Verizon LG G3] Specter597:
Cosmetic question:

On 2.0 the clock is centered and the Notification Bar is slightly smaller. I'd this the case with 3.1.1 as well?

Is there an in system way to revert/change this?

Mod Question:

Does the 2.0 Verizon VVM File work with 3.1.1?

Also, has anyone tried LG Tweaksbox (xposed) with this ROM?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, it's still the case.

I believe if you use the search field at the top right, others have talked about the solutions to changing the clock location and the size of the notification bar, which is merely changed by reverting to the stock DPI.

Texdroider is one app for changing the DPI which would make the notification bar larger. I always forget which direction this ROM takes us, either this ROM is 640 DPI and stock is 560 or the other way around. I don't play around with DPI enough to remember which would be the way that makes things smaller, as it does the way the ROM is set up.

Whoops, I stand corrected! That's what I get for not running without mods for long - a faulty memory! Thanks!

I use Flat Style Bar Indicators to make my status bar including the clock be exactly the way I want. I pay for the Pro version. It requires Xposed. I use G3TweaksBox too. G3TweaksBox might have the capability to fix that too - at least in Pro - not sure since I pay for Pro anyway but I don't use it's theming/status bar customization since FSBI does more.

I believe [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] told me that he didn't debloat the VVM out of this ROM since that was one complaint with v2.0.0 but I could be wrong. Confirmed, it's still in 3.1.1.
[Verizon LG G3] tholmes8291:
Weird. Mine is on the right with normal size status bar. No DPI changes or mods.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Whoops, I stand corrected! That's what I get for not running without mods for long - a faulty memory! Thanks!

[MENTION=4459530]Specter597[/MENTION] take note.
[Verizon LG G3] tholmes8291:
Meh, no prob. Thought I had screwed something up! Wish you were right tho cause I actually like it that way without mods
[Verizon LG G3] 011292:
I've recently noticed that wifi is turning off when the screen is off causing spikes in data, i haven't done anything to change settings or mod, is there a way to make that stop happening?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you checked in WIFI Advanced settings is set to not keep WIFI on when the screen is off? Long-press the WIFI toggle in the notification bar, click the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner, choose Advanced WIFI and look a the option halfway down the screen "Keep Wi-Fi on when screen is off". It defaults to Yes and I don't think the option is synced by Google, so if it set to "No" and you didn't change it and didn't set to that before, or if it's set to "Yes" and it still turns off, something else is causing the issue. An app, a mod, maybe even aggressive doze in Greenify or one of my debloat zips (don't know if either of those could do that). I don't keep Mobile Data nor WIFI on all the time, although I have turned the screen off with WIFI on and it's stayed on for me (with the option set to Yes).
[Verizon LG G3] pistacios:
Do you have the option checked in Wi-Fi settings?

Settings>Wi-Fi>3 dot menu(top right)>advanced Wi-Fi>keep Wi-Fi on when screen is off

Edit: Didn't see the reply above
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Thanks WRT (TRW?) for encouraging me to correct my problems and flash this ROM. And thanks yet again to XDABBEB for producing another stellar, smooth ROM to keep this hardware humming.

I'm really enjoying having this ROM on the G3. It seems a bit smoother than the 47A Stock rooted. I've had zero problems, and an added appreciation for the G3. Props to the author and OP!
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
Have you tried to install Xposed? That's when I start having the overlay issues.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
I use the default messenger app for all my texts -- how do I save all my texts if I want to flash 3.1.1? Not even sure where they're saved or if there's a cloud-based backup option for the app.
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
I've been using an app from the playstore for a few years now called SMS backup. And it works great and will also back up your call log, there is also the option to send your backup to different cloud places too. Super simple and can also setup automatic backups.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
I see like 10 different ones that all look the same. Can you link me the one you're referring to?

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Or use the built-in LG Backup.
[Verizon LG G3] Supashawn:
No xposed here. I just like the stripped down Bare necessities. I wiped everything including internal, flashed the boot and 3.1.1 and no more issues.
[Verizon LG G3] jadams161:
Edit
[Verizon LG G3] schwem:
Yes. The vs985 is carrier unlocked by default and has the gsm bands imcluded. Some say the fastest gsm bands aren't enabled by default and need to be enabled through the hidden menu but that's a whole other topic I haven't the full knowledge to explain. As far as I know all you need is a gsm sim card and you will be good to go.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You are right, this is off topic since the question has nothing to do specifically with this ROM. In the future, please post question threads in the Q&A section if you don't find the answer there or in the General section. There are threads about unlocking radio bands in this phone in the General section that will answer your question in a roundabout way.

If you Google for:

vs985 gsmarena

You'll find your answer on there, and you can click to expand the Network section to find more specifics about what radio bands this phone handles.
[Verizon LG G3] Specter597:
This. ROM. I Love it.

Huge difference in usability and stability over stock 47A.

Does anyone use any of the touchboost/Adriano idler/etc. Mods for tuning?

Right now, without any turned on, it seems just great.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm using the disableapps, battery, and adrenoidler switches. What works best for you depends on your usage, though. Also using Greenify's Xposed module with its Aggressive Doze option.
[Verizon LG G3] Specter597:
Is there any functional difference between using disableapps vs. just freezing them in TiBu?
[Verizon LG G3] matt1285:
straight talk

Can someone tell me how I would go about getting the LTE data working on this ROM if on straight talk? On other ROMs it usually picks the network up right away. This one will not and when I go to edit the APN it doesn't give me complete access to it???
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, it just freezes them. It's exactly the same except does a bunch at once and [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] knows of some things that can be frozen that some people might not think of. I believe the OP says you can edit a file to determine what gets frozen in case you want to customize it. If you use disableapps and then look in TB, you can unfreeze them there, and some you might be able to unfreeze through the Settings / Apps menu.
[Verizon LG G3] pimpmaneaton:
For anyone wanting to use the Circle case with 3.1.1 I have created a zip that will allow it to work and adds the option in settings. The zip must be installed on a clean flash as things will not get setup properly on an existing install. This will also install a new build.prop and revert the dpi back to stock 640, as the circle case does not display properly at 560 dpi. [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] feel free to add it to the mods section, thanks for the great rom.

[Verizon LG G3] reliant_turbo:
you shouldnt need full apn access if you are using straight talk on vzw towers.

edit the apn name from VZWINTERNET to tracfone.vzwentp and hit save.

your data should kick on and work properly then and will also stay connected after each months refill if you are on auto refill.
