I came from JasmineROM v9.1 with stock kernel, Nova Launcher, and TWRP 3 and everything went pretty smoothly! Here's what I did:

1) Make backups using LG Backup and Titanium Backup (copied onto my computer just in case) and backup preferences in G3_TweaksBox

2) Boot into TWRP

3) Make a Nandroid backup of boot, data, and system (also copied onto my computer just in case)

4) Wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system partitions

5) Flash the 35B bootstack

6) Flash the 46A firmware

7) Flash the debloat script (I customized mine, just got rid of Verizon bloat and LG Weather)

8) Flash Xposed v80 (xposed-v80-sdk23-arm)

9) Reboot system and go through the initialization process

10) Restore LG Backup from earlier

11) Get Titanium Backup working correctly (I put backups on my external storage, so I had to go into Backup Folder Location settings, change the Storage Provider to DocumentProvider Storage, and select my SD card's root folder) (thanks to Robshr for that one)

12) Uninstall and reinstall Swype keyboard (it wasn't showing up in the list of keyboards) and restore app data from Titanium Backup (Swype decided to wipe it for some reason)

13) Install G4 TweaksBox and import settings from G3 TweaksBox (in Internal Storage, make a copy of the G3_TweaksBox folder and call it G4_TweaksBox, then change the it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox_preferences.xml file to it.ptoti.g4_tweaksbox_preferences.xml) (it doesn't work perfectly, my brightness notification panel is missing and the 4-way power button doesn't work, but it'll work until G3TB is updated; that's also why I saved the G3_TweaksBox folder, for when it's updated)

14) Adjust DPI and fix my LG settings (LG Backup refused to pull those over)

I've had no problems with 4G service on Verizon (it came up right when I started the phone) or maintaining a wifi connection. I've even got my AGPS working correctly again (I'm pretty sure it broke when I installed JasmineROM, my smart locations wouldn't work and net-based locations in Tasker wouldn't trigger properly anymore). We'll see how much battery life improvement I get, it's pretty drained from all of my work today. (I also learned that LG Backup's Restore function won't let you turn the screen off while it's running, so my phone got nice and hot and ate some battery...)

I've noticed that the screen-off effects were removed in this version, I was previously using the retro TV effect but now the option is completely missing from the Display Settings. Anyone know how to disable the installer mode when connecting via USB? I lost that ability with JasmineROM also and it still seems to be broken, when I use the Feature Enable/Disable screen (via dialing ##3328873) all of the options are unchecked already but it's still coming up.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
Thanks for letting us know. I still never knew what it was that finally got it working for me. I guess I must have allowed permissions somewhere along the way.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Do you know how to make a bootanimation.zip file? I've followed EVERY thread and video I can find but can't seem to get it to display on boot...
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Thanks for this. I love the Motorola style dialer.

However, I Have one problem, the voicemail side doesn't work it's actually not there at all. I think it Works off of another apk that's not installed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
YES! I discovered this about an hour ago. That ONLY is available if you use Google Voice for your voicemail and install the actual "Google Voice" app. Once you install and configure it, go in the app, then settings. You'll see an option, "Voicemail Display." Enable that option. You can have Hangouts installed to. I have have Google Voice app installed, configured and then hid it with the launcher.
[Verizon LG G3] tattooz305:
Can't get XCam to work. Love that camera. Anyone?
[Verizon LG G3] Edde3d:
It doesn't work with MM yet. From what I hear he's working on it.

Kickin it on my VS985
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Thanks,

This partially Works. It shows the vm icon... But my New issue, Google voice wont auto configure for vm settings and it won't let me manually configure.

I'll keep fooling around with it.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
xCam is built per API of Android. If you look at the stock page, the dev has a build for KK and LL. Keep your eye on that page and he MAY release a MM version.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

REMEMBER! Verizon doesn't allow Google Voice to auto configure the settings. You'll have to do that manually. When it gets to the page that has 3 buttons, one will be skip, one is configure and the other is back I think. Press skip. When you have completed that part and you are looking at Google Voice inbox screen. Go to the phones dialer. Type *71[Your Google Voice number] *90[Your Google Voice number] and *92[Your Google Voice number]. In 'call settings' of the phone's dialer, you'll see an option for voicemail carrier, make sure it's on "your carrier" not google voice.
[Verizon LG G3] tattooz305:
Found it, he released it a couple days ago. Thank you xdabbeb!

I've done it before, but it's been almost two years since the last time, and it was for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. I haven't looked into doing it at all for the G3, although I'm sure they're all similar, just different resolution, etc. But maybe not since you're having trouble. I don't think I remember anything off the top of my head unfortunately. I'd have to re-research the subject myself. Have you taken a look at the stock G3 boot animations as an example?
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Dang! I need to get this sorted out. It's driving me crazy!!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good luck! Get some sleep!!! :P
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Thanks. I'm still not feeling tired. >.<
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Thanks, but unfortunately my phone belongs to my company. And my number is already set up on a google voice that is linked with other phones (multiple phones ring all at once off of one single call in, and if nobody answers it goes to one united VM. I can't have my phone number on its own separate google voice, other wise it pulls it off of the other google voice...

I don't guess there is any way to get the aosp dialer with regular VVM?
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Check Post #3 of this thread, there is the stock VVM. Give it a try.
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Tried that long ago.. It FC's as soon as it opens. I don't know what it depends on or why it does that though.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
It could rely on having the stock dialer or stock verizon messages app. I'll see if I can find one that is standalone for you.
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
Sorry if it's been answered somewhere else, not much on the vs985 running MM, but I'm guessing that the systemless root method is the only way to root MM for now?
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Thanks I am looking as well. I don't have the stock messages app but I am using Messages+ I guess it relies on the stock dialer.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Are you running the stock MM rom?

Both this ROM and the one I released is rooted already. CM13 has builtin root, you just have to activated.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

So I found a Verizon VVM app that is stand alone, and installs. But when I open it, it says not supported. I'm going to keep looking but also if you want to ask someone to try and port the app you can or give me a day and I'll have a flash on my ROM's thread that you can flash on this one and mine to get the stock dialer back so you can install the VVM app
[Verizon LG G3] brotherandyslb:
Mind sharing that VVM standalone app? I may be able to put it into the system folder and make it work.

[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
If you have a BUMPED! recovery you can flash SuperSu 2.6.7 Beta available in it's proper thread. Flashing it to THIS rom will still install systemless

Fixed

Question I'm having an issue with installing apks. When I first installed the ROM I

noticed that when the white screen comes up to hit either install or cancel the cancel button works all the time, but the install I'd have to press 4 or 5 times and has gradually gotten worse it's too the point now it won't even click the only other thing this happens with is when SU asked for permission. Same thing happened since my first install I done a complete wipe to see if that would fix it but it comes back over a couple of days

Figured it out it was luxlight it seems every time I'd link a brightness it would get worse
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, programs that apply a screen filter like Lux does sometimes cause that problem.

Rebooting usually temporarily fixes the problem.

[MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] could you help me up neither someone else about flashing the custom recovery if it's needed and then flashing your rom?

LG G3 VS985 running stock 35B LP 5.1.1.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You mean flashing [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's ROM, right? ?

Downgrade to 10B using the TOT method with the 35B .DLL. Look for the stickied return to stock thread in the General section. Use the Stump app to root, TWRP Manager to put TWRP on, then follow the directions to flash this ROM.

Rooting and putting TWRP on ROMs after 10B get more complex.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Typically flashing a recovery is part of the rooting process... Have you rooted your phone yet? If not, which version are you on?
[Verizon LG G3] elmanolette:
it is already root, i've done it using kingroot and i tryed by flashing TWRP_3.0.0-0-VS985.img with flashify flash tool and i got bricked
[Verizon LG G3] Lenster45:
I normally use Quickboot to reboot into recovery. It no longer works. I get the message that it has been granted superuser permissions but then nothing happens. I have tried other reboot apps also.

When I run the reboot recovery script in Busybox, I get: Setprop: Failed to set property "ctl.start" to pre-recovery followed by reboot: Operation not permitted.

I am running xposed but the only exposed module I am using is The LGG4 tweakbox.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Kingroot isn't a full root... It's designed for people who want root access but not flash custom roms. You'll need to research if you can downgrade to a bumpable version like 12B.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can downgrade from stock 35B and 46A to 10B via the TOT method with the 35B .DLL.

I need some major help here...

Suddenly, my Google contacts won't display on my phone. In the Accounts settings, it's showing Google's "People Details" as being synced successfully. See here: http://i.imgur.com/6nnR4hK.png

When I go to Contacts > Contacts settings > Contacts to display, it doesn't even show Google as an option. See here: http://i.imgur.com/jCtiNQn.png

And furthermore, when I got to Contacts > Manage Contacts > "Copy contacts from and to accounts" I just get a popup that says "Online account is required to copy contacts."

All of my other Google apps are syncing just fine. Does anybody know what would possibly cause this? This is a new issue, my Google contacts were syncing just fine to my phone before, this only started happening in the past few days. I tried to remove and re-add my Google account, but no luck.

Under the Google sync settings, should there be a 'Contacts' option? Is that different from 'People details'?

EDIT: Oh, I figured out that 'Contacts' and 'People details' are two different things. So my Google sync settings isn't even showing Contacts as an option. WTF
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Did you manage to debloat or disable something you shouldn't have? I'd try a ROM reflash, maybe a dirty flash at first. You'd have to reflash any debloat zips you do want to implement. I've always wondered what "People" is for, but never wondered enough to find out since I knew Contacts was what I cared about.

I'd even do a TWRP backup first, and maybe even an LG Backup of, which you could restore on a clean flash of the ROM if you decide to do that instead.
[Verizon LG G3] harry_seaward:
Huh, I managed to fix it. I went to Apps > "Google Contacts Sync" and cleared data and disabled it, then enabled it. Now "Contacts" appears in my Google sync menu and they're all synced to my Contacts app now.

Weird error, I'm glad it was an easy fix.
[Verizon LG G3] elmanolette:

Just curious, you have installed the LG G3 for Verizon device drivers?
[Verizon LG G3] elmanolette:
yup, i did.
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
Okay, then what you will need to do is find device manager, and on the list of system devices if there is something that is "other" or "unknown", you need to manually tell it which driver to install. I remember when I had to do that the driver was label something about LGE Android usb comm vzw something another. The list shouldn't be long.

This might be a stupid question but is this image the official Verizon 46a update?

No, they added root. Otherwise, there is no difference.

Was no one able to gain root on the ota or did they just do it to make things simple?
[Verizon LG G3] RoxanaSchram:
35A/B & 46A have to be downgraded to root. I'm not sure about 23C or 24B. I rooted on 12B.

As i have read brother you are very helpful, kindly guide me how to install xposed on this 46A with files accordingly... what i have to flash first and then after that what..

I have bootstack 35B with 46A firmware, need to install xposed to reduce the navigation bar DPI or if you can reduce the DPI without it then please make it 32DPI for navigation bar (Softkeys)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The installation of Xposed is the same as was on Lollipop. Flash the correct Xposed flashable zip, and install the correct Xposed apk.

You'll find the thread for them if you Google for:

XDA xposed Lollipop

Even though 46A is Marshmallow, the thread you'll find is for Lollipop and higher (because of the change from Dalvik to ART). Further instructions will be there if necessary.

Here's a link to an earlier post I made to help you figure out what SDK/API level version of Xposed you need to flash:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65168998&postcount=345

The VS985 uses an arm type processor.

I prefer to show people how to find what they need themselves later, rather than just say "flash this". :)

I rooted 35b using kingroot then replaced it with su thru terminal emulator and a zip. I haven't had a problem.
[Verizon LG G3] H4MM3RD0WN:
I'm running the official 35b that I had to flash because I'm rooted. I've also since then went to straight talk (it's just a different sim and I still have the Verizon sim) and while the Verizon upgrade tool will work even without a Verizon sim I don't know if it will take because of root. Anyone know or do I have to take this image/wait for the official kdz?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not clear on what your present situation is or what your objective is.

If you're on 35B rooted with custom recovery (TWRP) you can flash this ROM.

If you're on 35B, whether rooted or not, without TWRP and want to flash this ROM, you can downgrade to 10B via the TOT method using the 35B .DLL, then root with the Stump app and put TWRP on with TWRP Manager, then flash this ROM.

If you're on 35B unrooted, you want to remain stock unrooted, then put your Verizon SIM in and take the OTA. That's assuming the Verizon SIM is still activated - no idea if OTAs work with an inactive SIM. OTAs, whether actually installed through the phone or through the upgrade tool, require 100% stock unrooted, no custom kernel, no custom recovery etc.

You can use the "Repair" or "Upgrade Recovery" (depending on which official tool you use) to put your phone back to 100% stock unrooted whether you're rooted or not. All it does is download the KDZ and flash it. As of earlier this morning when I checked, it was still downloading the 35B KDZ.

I hope this answers your question.
[Verizon LG G3] H4MM3RD0WN:
Yes and no. I'm on 35b rooted. I want the 46a update to MM but still want root. I've only ever flashed thru the LG tool from the g3's original to the 35b update and that was on my comp. From what I understand TWRP is done on the device without a PC (unless I'm wrong I've never used it). So my point is I asked earlier if this image is the official 46a update and was told it's no different except it has root already built in. I've never used a custom ROM. So while I understand that the only modifications are built in root/busybox and the removal of a few LG security checks the question is - Is this image essentially the official ota update just in a flashable version but tweaked to be prerooted? And if so, me being on 35b - what steps, if any, do I have to take other than installing TWRP - I downloaded the TWRP manager from the play store and it's prompting me to pick a TWRP version to install? I've never used it before. I downloaded the firmware image from this post and copied it to my SD. So it's both there and on internal memory.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, this image is essentially the same as the official 46A OTA update.

In order to install TWRP, what I recommended earlier:

Look for the stickied return to stock thread in the General section. You can use the built-in LG Backup to back up your user apps and user data. Store it and move/copy anything you want to keep to your MicroSD card because flashing the 10B TOT will wipe all user data including internal storage.

There may be other ways to put TWRP on 35B, but the above is the simplest method to explain, and believe it or not, the most user friendly. Being that you've never used a custom ROM before I wouldn't recommend you try more complex stuff like flashing individual partitions in a terminal emulator with superuser permissions, as it's very easy to do it wrong and might soft brick your device.

Rooting and installing TWRP gets more complicated on anything after 10B.

Do NOT use TWRP Manager, Flashify or any other method to try to put TWRP on 35B. There's more to it on that on other than 10B.
[Verizon LG G3] thekrautdog:
Couple things...

I have discovered through GSAM Battery that my standby drain is being caused by something bluetooth related - thousands of wakelocks keeping the phone from going into deep sleep. Did some research last night and this morning and it is Marshmallow related and not uncommon, so if anyone else has their battery marching down even when not in use this is likely the culprit. There is no "fix" for it so to speak, it's a matter of painstaking uninstalling/reinstalling individual apps to try and find which one is causing it. They don't even have to make sense as to why that app would want bluetooth access. There are 2 or 3 apps that were causing the problem for a lot of people, but some of us never had those apps and are still getting the wakelocks. The quick fix, though not acceptable for the long term, was shutting off BT - now my battery again doesn't diminish hardly at all when I'm not using my phone.

And also I am wondering how hard it would be to customise [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION]'s debloat scripts? I am about to do my seemingly 100th full wipe and reload and was just trying to streamline the process a bit. I know my way around a pc a bit though am not a programmer or anything. Many thanks for any tips/instruction (if it is doable that is)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For about two years I had been keeping things "simple" by not bothering with optimization apps/greenify/kernel tweaking etc, but since I already had purchased Greenify before I decided to put it back on and enable the agressive doze. I've been using it for the past week or more and it seems to work quite well, but I've been restoring JasmineROM once a day to check for the new KDZ so I can't really report numbers on my battery life overall.

Yep, just edit the updater-script in the debloat zip. I recommend NotePad++ on Windows. I've done editing of them using X-Plore File Manager's text editor right from the phone, too.
