[G2 Original Android Development] dr4stic:
Technically this is not the generic version, simply the international version. The D80* (800/1/2/3/4/5) variants are all GSM and almost the same hardware. The community was growing very small and it didn't make sense to spread the GSM variants across 3-4 different threads. So I consolidated them. Hell, I think the 804 and 805's just use the 802 firmware, I'm not sure how that actually works, but that's my understanding.

The US Verizon and Sprint models (vs980 and ls980) have different radios, and at least in the case of sprint other bits of different hardware. They aren't GSM, they're CDMA and thus have different needs. Also, I don't have any real contact with the Verizon guy, where as I have plenty of contact with at least one other GSM guy, hence my combining of the threads.

At the top of this thread, that first post, I don't include vs980 for a reason.

I don't have a vs980, nor have contact with the developer for it, thus I don't have a real means of supporting it. And that sucks and I do feel bad about it. But it's what it is. And the vs980 users come around and occasionally post in here and no one has direction for them because, well, this is a GSM G2 thread.

For the record, XDA is NOT the official place for CM development discussion. It's just more convenient for many of the developers and users and offers a better forum system. However in my conversations with insiders, they don't like XDA and don't monitor it for support. If you were to believe the CM folk, the proper place that they monitor for support, all support for the vs980 would be here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/forum/1005-lg-g2-cdma-vs980-ls980/

Go there, ask your questions, post your problems. That's as official a discussion area as you're gonna get. According to a conversation with them, they have a couple of moderators that go through and look for new posts / questions and try to help. I've seen them do it (for example, with the wifi bug, though no resolution found yet...)

In the past when I tried to offer help to vs980 end users on the SIM issue by collecting logs to forward to the devs, running builds, etc... I couldn't find anyone reliable to work with. I don't have the device so I can't just depend on the occasional logcat and message "hey it doesn't work" ... It needs interaction. Then there was the problem that I didn't exactly get responsive devs to deal with that issue. Because, guess what... doesn't seem like the vs980 dev cares to fix the issue.

It takes me about an hour and a half to run a single build and post it. So imagine if I'm doing a/b testing to find a solution and post two builds or more for each shot... only to have no feedback at all and yet see plenty of downloads...

I hate the situation that exists for you guys, it sucks being abandoned. But there's little I can do about that. I'm sorry.

You do realize that the "official update 5.0.2 39A" was released by LG and not by CM, right? The CM-13.0 release is developed and maintained by dedicated freelance devs. If you look back a page or two, you'll see I put up some experimental builds. I think the vs980 build I did will let your sim card work until we can get a dev to pay attention to your problem. Just don't upgrade from there and you'll be fine.
