Ah, thanks for the replies.

I'll see what I can do...

How hard is it to create a zippable? Could a luddite like me do it?

What tools would I need after ripping out the necessary files?

Or ... is it as simple as unzipping the debloat script, opening up Notepad++, commenting out the VVM deletes, re-zipp and flash?

Second thoughts, moving some files and setting permissions seems like the path of least effort.

Thanks [MENTION=5672224]jurington[/MENTION] [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
I've never made a flashable zip before, so can't really give you any help there. The extent of what I've done is just move stuff to the appropriate folder and made sure permissions where correct.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Concerning changing the debloat zip, yes it's basically that simple. The script is called updater-script and is semi-deep in some nested folders. If you open the zip and dig around you'll find it easy enough. That part of all zips is all the same as far as I'm aware, but I've only copied the methods of others and so have only learned by following their examples.

Personally I change all the zip files right on my Android device(s) themselves using X-plore File Manager without extracting the zip. You can expand a zip in that file manager just like a folder - I navigate to the file I'm going to replace, delete it, and copy the new file in there. I think I had the experience where trying to overwrite the old one with the new didn't work as planned.

You'd have to dirty flash whatever ROM you're using first (along with anything else you've flashed before like Xposed...), and then flash the new debloat zip.

But yeah, if you're the least bit not comfortable, stick to the other methods. Actually, looks like [MENTION=6795073]joshua70448[/MENTION] 's online tool to make a custom debloat zip is back up. http://jfsoftware.com/android/lgg3/debloat.php.

if u can give me 8 hrs will post a link to a flashable vvm zip.... :)

This is the link that I have... Originally shared by Roxanna Schram . The flashable zip was designed around the AZADI Rom which is also Stock based.

Also the 35B VVM from xdabbeb https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086993283
[Verizon LG G3] joshua70448:
Yeah, my web host had a bad couple of days. They had a script go haywire and delete most of their clients' databases, and when they went to restore a backup they found that the backup script had died a week ago. On top of all that, I had to change some configurations because of changes they had made :rolleyes:. The dust seems to have settled, thankfully.

AWESOME! [XPOSED][6.0+] Marshmallow SD Fix - save files in external sd card!

Have only installed, activated, selected a couple of apps and rebooted. Haven't actually tested SD writes yet.

[XPOSED][6.0+] Marshmallow SD Fix - save files in external sd card!

You can select which apps you want to have access, and the setting is supposed to stick even through app updates. Perfect! I didn't want to give all apps access to it.
[Verizon LG G3] baldybill:
I came to this from another stock rooted rom. I have nothing set up different. However at times this rom seems to lock up for a couple minutes, not letting the screen turn on or off. Seems to happen when using the net, like uploading to dropbox and downloading play store updates. Any thoughts on fixing this?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Are you using the kernel the ROM came with? Any custom kernel settings/apps?

Use the built-in LG Backup and backup all your user apps, user data and limited system data, then from TWRP wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data and try the ROM without your user apps/settings. If it seems fine, restore half of your apps and test. Keep restoring half of what apps you haven't restored yet and testing until you find the culprit. You can do TWRP backups after you've restored apps if you find you're not having trouble yet.

Otherwise, I'd TOT back to 10B, re-root with the Stump app, put TWRP on with TWRP Manager from the Play Store, wipe all and re-flash this ROM and 35B Bootstack.
[Verizon LG G3] baldybill:
No custom kernel. I was wondering if I needed to install one.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Shouldn't have to. I never noticed any difference from the stock 47A kernel when I tried "[Kernel] [APR10] Upstream] Buttery Smooth *KernelCraft Series*" in the Original Development section.
[Verizon LG G3] baldybill:
I'll try that. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
Have you are anyone tried giving SD access yet? It did nothing after I installed and set it to give SD access to some apps. I'm curious as to whether I did something wrong or if it just doesn't work on this ROM for some reason.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just tried with X-plore File Manager that I had given permissions and it worked. Did you enable the module in Xposed and reboot?
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
I did enable and reboot. I was trying different programs, so maybe it works with some and not others.
[Verizon LG G3] Specter597:
47A, Exposed, and LG Weater

Here is a link to the changelog: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66681910&postcount=32

I almost missed this. It might be worth mentioned for the OP and for [MENTION=6795073]joshua70448[/MENTION]

Xposed isn't the OP's responsibility, but if it works and doesn't need to be stripped by [MENTION=6795073]joshua70448[/MENTION] 's awesome script it could be cool.

It may not fix the Quick Circle Issues.
[Verizon LG G3] postal302:
Is this safe? "/su/xbin_bind" makes up about 77% of the "/SU" folder file size. I'd be a little nervous that SuperSU wouldn't work correctly after gutting the folder that much and Android Pay started working (not recognizing root).
[Verizon LG G3] dwhitehead:
I've not had any problems with TiBu, and that's usually where you get problems. I don't run xposed, but if you are concerned you could back the folder up or snap a backup of the phone first. That's what I did.
[Verizon LG G3] appzstarxda:
I am using this rom since few days. It is quite stable and awesome however I found couple of following problems in group messaging:

1- Only 20 contacts can be selected in group messaging

2- Text messages start to get converted in MMS and then messages stop being sent to selected contacts in group messaging.

Is their any way to fix these problems, it would be a great help for me.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you tried Verizon Messages or another text app?

I've been happy with Verizon Messages but I've never sent a group message to that many people so I can't report on that aspect.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Hello, and thanks for this!

I'm currently running Skydragon 6.0.2 with skydragon kernel 5.0.4 and xdabbeb's 35B bootstack.

I read the OP, but want to get confirmation before I flash...

Can I just flash this as described in the OP, or do I need to revert to an earlier version?

Thanks!

Abe
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hey man!

Wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data, flash the ROM and then flash the 35B Bootstack and any optional debloating zips from the third post. Flash the 35B Bootstack even if you think you are on the 35B Bootstack now. Always flash the Bootstack.

FYI, in the case of JasmineROM and SkyDragon, always flash the appropriate Bootstack after flashing the ROM - flashing before can cause a brick.

You can optionally use the built in LG Backup to backup your user apps, user data and limited system data, then restore it on the new ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Thanks! I'll give this a go after I look into which debloat zip I want to use...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I highly encourage you to take a look at [MENTION=6795073]joshua70448[/MENTION] 's online tool to make a custom debloat zip at http://jfsoftware.com/android/lgg3/debloat.php. Thank him at http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=238.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Thanks, I'll do that!

Another Q...I have TWRP 2.8.6.1...should I get a later version before doing this?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would. I use 3.0.0. Haven't tested [MENTION=3792100]dadi11[/MENTION] 's latest unofficial build of 3.0.2 that he released today. I had problems with overheating and black screens (only in recovery) when using his previous unofficial builds but his latest build is supposed to not go as fast and therefore hopefully not overheat as easily. 3.0.0 worked just fine for me since it came out months ago, albeit changing the screen brightness in official TWRP 3.0.0 doesn't do anything.

To find [MENTION=3792100]dadi11[/MENTION] 's thread just Google for:

dadi11 TWRP
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Once again...Thanks!

So, here's my plan:

Install TWRP 3.0.0 from TWRP manager

Make a TWRP backup

Make LG Backup

Reboot TWRP recovery and wipe cache, dalvik,data and then flash:

47A

35B bootstack

debloat script (might do this after)

Reboot system
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sounds good. Personally, I flash the latest official TWRP .img directly from my existing TWRP version, downloaded from twrp.me (when choosing to flash, change to Image mode instead of Zip mode, to show the .img file), and then choose Reboot Recovery from TWRP. I only use TWRP Manager to put the initial TWRP on from 10B, but that's just my personal preference.

Also, keep in mind that flashing a debloat zip will be more effective if you do it before booting the ROM the first time for several reasons. Of course, you can boot the ROM, check it out, and then wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik/ART, flash the debloat zip and boot the ROM again for the "first time".
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
So far so good.

Do you know if the small nav bar will work with this?

and...I forgot how to fix the "usb debugging keeps getting unchecked" issue...

and titanium backup only shows me the "overview" screen...don't see the backup/restore screens

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
As for the USB debugging not sticking, you can make sure it's turned on then connect it to your computer then go through and click all the options of mtp, media, and USB debugging. Then reboot after you've done that it should stick after reboots. As for the other things I'm not sure
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Thanks! I don't see options for mtp, media, and USB debugging...
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
When you connect your phone to your computer up in the notification area you should get a connection prompt. And if you click on it you should see those options.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
ok...I do see that, but I can only select one at a time...not all at the same time.
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Sorry I didn't mean all at the same time. You'll click one let it switch over then click the next one then do it again till you gone through all of them. Then reboot the phone and it should stick now.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
that did the trick! thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Awesome!! I'm glad that worked.

As for titanium backup, when you first start it it goes to the overview page first. But you should have a button that says backup/restore up at the top you can click on for backups.
[Verizon LG G3] Bramton1:
So running xdabbeb's 46A, and having a problem with missing SIM card messages. I've heard of some people having this problem on the G3 after upgrading to Marshmallow. Curious if anyone has had this issue on 46A, and if upgrading to 47A fixed the problem. Or if anyone has had these problems with 47A.
[Verizon LG G3] :
Did you follow the install instructions in the post? Even if 47a doesn't fix your issue it would be good to update anyway. I've heard its faster and it probably is more secure too.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
I only had the one choice along the top...overview.

TiBu couldn't find my ext-sd card as it was renamed during the 47a flash.

I redirected TiBu to the newly named ext-sd card and now it's back to normal...
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Is this still the way to get xposed working with this rom?

...and where can I find Xposed Support for D855-v30b patch + xposed-v79 files?

TIA!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You shouldn't need anything special any more. From what I hear, the latest Xposed takes care of incompatibilities it had with LG Weather. v85 is the latest and that's what you'll want. Haven't tried the latest versions myself - I'm still on v7x.

Just Google for:

Xposed Marshmallow

Has all the info and files you need right there. He even finally added info about what the different SDK levels mean. :) The G3 does not have a 64-bit or x86 compatible CPU, so that leaves "arm".
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Once again...THANKS! Got it working...

Restore nandroid Backup

I flashed VS985 47A firmware from this thread according to instructions. (I flashed bootstack 35B first, then 47A Rom)

Now, I want restore Full nandroid backup, I was doing before flashing 47A Rom. (my previus Rom was VS985 12B stock rooted)

but, now I don't know before I restore backup I must flash bootstack 12B or not? sorry for my english
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes. Before or after restoring any backup, flash the appropriate Bootstack. 12B for KitKat, 24B for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow 6.0.

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I'm not sure if it's UX 4.0 (not sure what all that entails), but the UI is vastly improved over Lollipop builds. It's cleaner and more modern in the dialer, settings, reboot menu, and clock to mention a few. This is what L should have been like, but better late than never I suppose!

One annoyance is that it is still too dark when auto brightness is on in a dim room. Aside from that I don't have any complaints.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just checked and both are loading quickly for myself (2-3 seconds max).
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
I'm having an issue...

Sometimes I get no internet connection. Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or 4g. Web pages wont load. A reboot fixes it. I can't really pinpoint when it happens but it's only once or twice a day that I notice it.

Anyone else see this?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't had this issue.
[Verizon LG G3] rcchusid:
While I haven't had this anywhere near as much as you are, on rare occasions I have found that I lost my internet connection over WiFi. Turning WiFi on and off often fixes that, and on very rare occasions I have had to reboot. (My 4G service at home is pretty weak so it is common to lose internet connection due to that).

However, my wife has an LG G3 and she is using the stock ROM. On rare occasions this has also happened with her phone. Therefore I wonder if it is not an issue related to this ROM. Either way, if it is happening at least daily it is a far more serious matter than what I have experienced.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
Hmmmm.....

Before rebooting, I've tried cycling wifi on/off, 4g data on/off and even airplane mode on/off...none of those fixed it. Only the reboot worked...
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Now that I think about it - I seem to recall, possibly quite a while ago (read: up to a year and a half ago), some threads regarding others having WIFI problems. What comes to mind is the 2.5 GHz and 5.0 GHz range - try disabling one in your router settings and try the other. No idea if the old stuff concerning it would be relevant now.

Thinking further, I believe I either disabled 5 GHz on my router or at least started connecting specifically to my 2.5 GHz WIFI because even though 5 GHz is supposed to be a less-crowded frequency than 2.5 and should therefore be better, I often had dropouts when I connected to the 5 GHz one, which I had set up with a different WIFI name than my 2.5 GHz one. My previous router blew up so this could've been as long ago as 2+ years, so take all this with a grain of salt and might not apply to you.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
In my case, I don't think it's wifi related because I can turn off wifi and pages still won't load while using 4g.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I see. I hope you can find a solution! If it were me (as always a broken record), after I'd do a new LG Backup, I'd start back with a fresh 10B TOT flash, root, TWRP and flash of the ROM, Bootstack and debloating. I'd stick with the stock ROM for a day as is if you can help it and see how everything behaves, then maybe step up to upgrading all the apps and try again for another day, etc etc.
[Verizon LG G3] Abe_Frohman:
I'm not sure I'm up to all that...

But...this just happened again while on 4g. I decided to wait before rebooting to see if it would fix itself. After a few minutes it came back...

Auto GPS script for it from their community through the app, although I tend to make my scripts from scratch or heavily modify ones I download from their community to do exactly what I want.

Other people use Tasker for such scripts, but Automate fits me better. I work very visually.

[Verizon LG G3] joshua70448:
I'm not sure what happened, but my phone recently started getting amnesia whenever I had to yank the battery to restart after it freezes up. A handful of apps would disappear and I'd have to reinstall (thank goodness for Titanium Backup, although even then a few apps refused to restore). The other day it got even worse, I started losing apps every time I restarted the phone. At first I just dirty-flashed 47A (even wiped my internal storage just to be sure), but after restoring apps and system data then restarting the phone I got stuck in an "Unfortunately the Process.com.android.phone Has Stopped" loop. After clean-flashing 47A and only restoring apps, it looks like the problem is gone for now but that was a giant pain.
