[Verizon LG G4] CyberManiaK:
That is because the dpi is moded on this rom, If you want to keep the dpi moded to 560 install exposed and the module app settings for lollipop if i remember right is around post #8240 from the oficial thread and that would let you change the dpi to 640 for the camera alone.

[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Yes I'm sure there are other issues yet to surface by using a lower DPI. But so far I haven't encountered any that are really convincing me to go back to the stock 640. I love being able to see so much more info on one screen, especially in the browser. Or even in the settings menu, which I have on tab view, so many more options on one screen.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
So can anyone tell me if I'm already on 13b no root, can I flash this rooted img with the LG flash tool just like the kdz? What's the difference between a system img and a kdz cuz I'm looking everywhere and cannot get a clear answer
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
Thanks, that was it. As suggested, I installed Xposed App Settings module now so that I can reset the dpi to 640 selectively for certain apps, such as the camera.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Well I have figured out what to do and got the phone talking to the PC and the option for a command window disappeared outta the right click menu...I had adb functioning with the fast installer , then that happened I installed the full adb and same problem ..that is why I wanna know about using the flash tool, I'm not lazy hell just spent many hours on it. Very Frustrating, might just trade one of my two g4's for a nexus 5, g3, something easy with roms to play with lol
[Verizon LG G4] z3pp3lin:
No, you cannot use the LG Flash Tool to flash an img. The KDZ is a tool LG uses. http://www.file-extensions.org/article/install-kdz-fimware-to-lg-smartphone Other manufacturers have thier own versions. http://www.xda-developers.com/how-t...e-from-android-4-4-2-kdz-file-for-your-lg-g2/. Since we have a locked boot loader, we don't have a recovery to make a nandroid backup of our system, so we have to make an img backup instead....as explained in the low effort root thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3164765
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know. Once again a locked bootloader has a hand in ruining the fun, that makes several devices I have that are boring as hell. Wish someone could bump a recovery to trick our locked BL like on my L70 (which just quit working right before getting official cm13), and I have a gpad 10.1 but it's the lte version...yep regular one has a bumped recovery, not mine but at least king root with supersume gets root..not the luckiest cat huh[emoji1]
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Ok sorry for bugging you guys so much I know how annoying dumb questions can be, but I'm going to attempt one more time to get adb working on my dads PC this afternoon. To use this image with the low effort root, how should I name the file in the command to replace the original rooted img? I'm just learning what all this is and using adb is the next step and I easily fly past things (the beauty of adhd) so if there's the answers somewhere in sorry for having to ask i promise I looked..thanx guys

[MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION] I was wondering if there's a way to add the voice recorder back when I try to open it I get an error. I didn't notice it wasn't there till today. Thanks
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
As specified in the OP, the reason you are getting this error is due to the fact that that DPI has been changed from 640 to 560. If you change the DPI back to 640, Voice Recorder will function as intended.

Merry Christmas everyone.
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
My bad I missed that. Merry Christmas

So just to get this straight, I'm on 11a rooted right now. All i need to do is flash that 13b kdz file, then flash this 13b image on top of it and I'm good to go?
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
You would be correct. Use LGFlashTool for the KDZ and the DD commands to flash the img file.
[Verizon LG G4] vaeevictiss:
Cool thanks!

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

oh one other thing. Im guessing the kdz filename can be left as it was dowloaded (VS98613B_00_ARB02.kdz), but do i need to change this image file name to that "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" that i had to do to originally root my 11a as shown here http://xdaforums.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/

just wanted to be sure. i know filenames are the difference between a phone and a brick.

thanks again.
[Verizon LG G4] DAXX:
Can anyone keep me posted for the upcoming Marshmallow update? It should be released by early 2016 for LG G4 according to both Verizon and Google (Google's plan was to have every major phone company running Android M by the end of 2015).
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
It's common sense and has been covered in the thread, most recently by yours truly.

Just keep the file name and the filename parameters the exact same when running the command.

Either change the actual file name or change the filename in the command. As simple as that.

Please read the entire threads before posting questions maybe.

[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Go back a few pages and read the post where I describe doing it by flashing the kdz and the root image with no loss of data. Simple as can be. Don't need to unroot.

(Oops sorry it's a different thread) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64266811&postcount=78

[Verizon LG G4] wtfmate913:
Sorry to bump myself, but I'm still having this issue, anyone have any ideas? I tried doing a factory reset with no luck, about to try the stock rooted 13b in the other thread I guess if I can't get this working.
[Verizon LG G4] joebrady119:
I have the same issue. It's not just you.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Wow issues!

I was on 11a, I went to 13b via the kdz method. Everything went flawlessly. Everything worked perfectly including advanced calling.

I let everything settle and then I flashed the rootedsystem.img from this thread. It wouldn't work, it went to the Android boot animation and just sat there. I let it sit for about 30 minutes. Restarted and tried again, no luck. So I redid everything but still no luck on the rooted image.

So I tried the system.img from the pure LG Rom. It loaded but it never would connect to my Google account, play store wouldn't download.

I used the other system.img on another thread and it worked...or so I thought. There is no in call ui (i installed Google dialer and it works), the gallery doesn't load any pictures (quicpic works fine), the system doesn't recognize any sounds even though they're in the appropriate folders. I can't set any ringtones or notifications.

I made a system.img of my 11a setup but when I tried to flash it, it didn't work.

I followed the OP exactly. I'm out of ideas.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
If you made a system.img after 13B KDZ, I would try that. If not, maybe KDZ back to 13B, then backup that 13B system image, then consider rooting your own 13B image following instructions in another thread.

Posting what thread you got that other system.img from may be a clue for someone to help you.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Sorry. I guess that would help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3258794

I tried rooting my own stock 13b .img but all the root methods require putting a 2-4 gig .img file on the internal SD and using the dd method. That's where things go wrong. I shoulda stayed on 11a.
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
Try not to flash any variant of 11 again.

Downgrading is certain to brick your device to an extent that only lg warranty claim can fix. Quite likely you're bricked but try the solution the previous poster suggested.

Covered in another thread on g4 boards here.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I'm not bricked. I'm using the phone now.

As far as the instructions to root 13b kdz, which thread are you referring to?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Use this http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

to root your own 13B system image or find a 13B rooted system image that doesn't have all the mods like the one in the OP.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Thanks!

That did the trick. I've never had that much problem with a root before and I'm not a noob.
[Verizon LG G4] wtfmate913:
Is this an issue for everyone? Default apps not saving?

I was going to try the download in this thread:

But the MD5 I get is always not a match.

[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
[MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION] you do f..kin man bro thank you, I totally just rooted my older g4 first shot too... .now I might put a stock img on my new one lol that was so much easier than I thought man, now to some badass developer... Please unlock dis bootie so we can TWRP!! LOL
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Well I love the lower dpi reminds me of slim roms looks more professional too..I can't get it to save a default browser either but the lil extra tap or two is worth having my battery lasting 4 to 5 times longer, I've never gotten this time in a single charge and it's fast as he'll too, again thanks ...still blows my mind that low effort root is what everyone was so scared of , had me paranoid cuz I'd never used adb or even a pc to root at all..actually hadn't touched a pc in over 10 years...yes laugh it's sad I know lol??
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Is anyone else having issues with quick charge not working?

On 11a my phone would charge from 50% to full in ~30 minutes.

Now on 13b it takes much longer.

I've checked the cable and it's fine.

Curious.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Mine still charges fine, just the default browser thing and I don't know if it is intentional but every reboot the brightness sets to 100 but no real problem
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Hey [MENTION=5972487]rustypie[/MENTION] , quick question.. The usage manager (only accessible using a custom shortcut for some reason) is completely different from before, did you change it yourself or did I totally miss something before? I am not complaining I actually like it and it still shows battery usage, just the running services has been replaced with a more basic running apps task manager. But I still use a shortcut to running services so it's actually better now having a separate running apps only.. Thanks again man
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Interesting.... I remember on first boot after I last reset my device, it would jump to full brightness but I toggled auto brightness off and on a couple times and it never did it again. It's odd how the same device reacts differently for different people on the same rom, or system image in this case...
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
Short answer, no, I did not modify anything in regards to task or app manager. You say it's different from before; as in different from stock 13B or different from 11A or 12A? I only ask because the change you see may be something that LG or big red implemented.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
That's why I asked is I don't know... I can't remember if I went into the usage manager after I took the 13b update. I did find where they hid the oem unlock lol anyway use the activities in Nova launcher or the app quick shortcut maker and under settings there's Sooo much that's been hidden or removed by Verizon... I could use the users or FM radio lol oh yeah I have the gpad10.1 vk700 Verizon butchered too, can I get this LG browser to work on it? And I see why you like it, it's become my favorite browser of all its badass faster than puffin with Chrome's smoothness.. I can't comprehend why it would be removed
[Verizon LG G4] Naemion:
You got the users and fm radio working???
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Lol lord no , I wish it did work those two would be good for me especially. But by using a custom shortcut to access the apps activities, and the settings app is Sooo long, Lol, and there's so much tweaks and adjustments normally hidden. You can also re enable the home launcher themes, access/content lock (list of all apps and permissions can be blocked)etc... So many features they hoard from us....just be careful some are potentially dangerous, do not touch "shutdown monitor" it sucks and will scare the sh.t outta ya lol

Oh yeah they actually physically removed the hardware for the FM radio so, that's why Verizon really sucks
[Verizon LG G4] Naemion:
What does it do that will scare you?

And how do you know they removed it and didn't just disable it?
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:

[Verizon LG G4] JJT211:
Is it really necessary to make a backup img to unroot? Wouldnt that be exactly the same as autoprime's rootable 13b img, given thats what I used to go from 11a to 13b in the first place?
[Verizon LG G4] Dyscalculic:
Not necessary, but some people prefer to use the actual phone's image to go back to stock or it helps them sleep better.
[Verizon LG G4] xdadevnube:
Not sure if this has much to do with the ROM, but upon rebooting each time I get the notification "The SU binary needs to be updated!". When I click on the notification, it just opens the SuperSU app but nothing else happens. I wonder what is happening and whether I actually should update the binaries somehow.

Anybody else experience this?
[Verizon LG G4] is_there_pie:
Can anyone direct me on how to enable advanced calling? I went straight through 13b kdz upgrade and rooted before activating the phone. Now when I try to activate it in settings, nothing happens.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
You might want to search this thread, because IIRC someone else had the same issue when they used the image from the OP, so I suggested they make their own pure rooted image vs using the OP one that has lots of mods and IIRC that fixed their advanced calling problem. :)
[Verizon LG G4] is_there_pie:
Thanks, hurray! such a noob. There was mention in the thread but no explanation that I could see how they rectified it. Is the vs986 the only one with a single radio? I want to home in on a H811 and unlock to bring to verizon. I'm gonna be traveling for a while out of country and have a feeling the vs986 is gonna be more problems than anything.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Dude trust me, DO NOT get a verizon model if you can help it, they butchered this phone like they always do removing good features that come standard on every other model and lock the sh.t outta the bootloader all to squeeze as much money outta you as possible.. I'm still paying an extra monthly fee for a 1000$ bill they know I did not do several years ago...also they tricked my mom into basically paying double for half the data and we've been customers over 20 years... I'm bailing soon as my contract is up lol
[Verizon LG G4] is_there_pie:
I agree, but show me a recent phone with a removable battery and sd card slot that can compete with the G4 and I'll grab it. There isn't any, especially with this cdma crap. I've been pouring over everything I can. I'm a grandfathered unlimited data person. I gave up on Samsung when they got greedy like Apple. I thought I found the last dodo in the G4 and hoped all this stuff I hear about unlocked phones, I thought it had gotten better than my old S4 running rooted 4.3 for the past year. After I learned about this bs volte, forcing single cdma antennas on all new generation phones, a white list where I can't bring other phones (like TMO's H811) in no matter how much I unlock it, jacking up the rate for unlimited data... it goes on and on. I chat with Verizon to try and find solutions and they always turn me to, 'but we have the same model right here'. Damn sheeple. Sorry, sorry, just the soap box of a long long time customer too.

What keeps me? Employee discount and downloading gigs and gigs of stuff ALL the time. Xmas we forgot a copy of Christmas Vacation for the family. Ten minutes of searching and downloading, had three copies to choose from with no dcma threats.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
In response to the Advanced calling issue, something I found that worked for me was logging into my account on Verizon's web-site, disabling advanced calling for the line in question, turn it back on, reboot the phone and all was well with the world.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
That's odd because I specifically made sure the binaries were updated before I extracted the system image. I've flashed this on several of my friend's G4s and it's never once prompted me. But I always flash on a empty phone and even after flashing I do a factory reset just to make sure there are no issues. Did you do a dirty flash with this or a clean one?
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Yep that exactly why I didnt get the n6 , I feel naked without an a sdcard and non removable batteries is one of the dumbest damn things ice ever seen lol we were one of Verizon's first customers literally they were Cell One before that and a smart phone had a coiled cord, a carrying handle or shoulder strap, weighs in the double didgets and we called it a car phone lol ah nostalgic day today[emoji23] [emoji23]
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
They were known as GTE MobillNet, later GTE Wireless over here in California. I've been with them since 1988 as a tester and later a customer on January 6, 1996. CellularOne over here is what is known as AT&T Wireless. Verizon Wireless was formed by GTE Wireless/BellAtlanticMobility, PrimeCo which owned the 54% of the original VZW when there was the BellAtlantic/GTE merger. The other 46% was owned by Vodafone Airtouch of England (AirTouch was basically the new name for Pacific Telesis which owned Pacific Bell/Nevada Bell before Vodafone bought it), Airtouch was the one who owned 60% of AT&T Wireless and sold the 60% to AT&T Wireless because of the GTE/BellAtlantic merger. What you mentioned is basically Transportable phones with 3 watt output, I still have 2 Mitsubishi Model 800's transportables here.

Oh wow that's crazy man, bout the same time we started. I was just a lil bastard in 88 I was like 5 or 6 lol but my parents and grandparents were totally connected. Yea I got them mixed up cuz they changed several times, but stuck with what is Verizon now unfortunately. They made so much off us over the years and the past 5 has been a disaster with them forcing us to pay a 1500$ bill they knew strait up wasn't us or our fault, lately they keep accidentally cutting out lines off and charging an 80 dollar re connect fee they promise to credit back.. Now the last couple times they accidentally didn't put the more in the computer so of course no dice lol
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
I was a freshman in high school as I was 14 at the time. LOL. As for the bill, you should probably contact Executive Escalations or Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon Communications to resolve the issue. I placed a $1000 order for accessories from verizonwireless.com and they shipped the wrong items, package was 12 lbs. The USPS First Class Package Returns label was only good for 13 ounces max so contacted Verizon Wireless Sales and got sent through 20 departments in the company within 30 minutes who promised to send me a shipping label in the mail and not to worry. After 20 days was gone which was over the return period of 14 days, I emailed Lowell McAdam who had Executive Escalations send me a FedEx Express overnight shipping label to drop off the package and they will inspect the items to make sure it's new and then a few days later, they sent the refund back to my credit card.
[Verizon LG G4] rustypie:
I PM'd this to another member but thought it might be useful for someone who wants to clean flash my system image. Following this method, I think, gives you the cleanest possible flash without actually allowing the system to boot first before you've had the chance to flash the image.

Put my IMG file in the root directory of your sdcard folder (internal storage) BEFORE you flash the 13B KDZ.

Boot into download mode

Flash the KDZ.

As soon as the KDZ flash process reaches 100%, the phone will reboot automatically and when it does, AS SOON as the screen goes black, hold PWR+VOL DOWN which will bring up the stock recovery screen.

UNPLUG the USB cable then select Power Down (turn off) from the menu.

Once it powers off, Hold PWR+VOL UP and plug in the USB cable. This will take you back to Download mode.

Flash the IMG file. It's actually still on the phone. It wasn't deleted during the KDZ flash process. When it's done flashing, type LEAVE and the phone will reboot and come up with the little android robot for a second or two then reboot again. At that point it will boot normally.

I found that during that KDZ flash process, it doesn't erase any data on the phone until it's done and reboots. The phase where the Android robot appears for a couple seconds is where it actually wipes the data, including the system image you just flashed a few moments earlier. This allows you to get the cleanest flash possible by doing the KDZ and then flashing the rooted system image before it even has a chance to do a first boot. It took a lot of playing around before I figured out I could do that.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
So does anyone seen a mm update from Verizon yet? I'm curious if it's gonna get rooted but hell could already be I'm not good at digging around these forums lol..
