In answer #4 of the second post of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 thread. :)

You're welcome!

In further detail:

1. Unless a ROM you flash from custom recovery for some reason includes a non-custom (stock) recovery, you'll always have custom recovery to flash whatever you want (i.e. even if a ROM itself isn't rooted, that doesn't mean you won't have custom recovery, and therefore the easy ability to become rooted again).

2. It's pretty much a given that any custom ROM you flash already contains root. Some ROM first posts will specifically say it does. The "norm" is unless the ROM first post says it's not rooted, then it's rooted.

Edit: and yes, you can use whatever you want.

The debloated xdaddeb ROM for 5.1.1 seems to missing files to allow Advanced Calling and the LG Quick Circle case to work, and I haven't found anyone who knew how to fix either of these yet, and I've spents way, way too much time on my vacation that's now ending, figuring out how to myself :(

As well as that ROM runs missing these features is a deal breaker for me. Looks like I need a new ROM. I am not sure what 5.1.1 ROM would support both these features, other than stock? If you know of one please let me know!

If I have to flash stock 5.1.1, what's the best way to re-root it?

Thanks in advance.

when i upgraded to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]'s 47a rom, i lost advanced calling too. to get it back i logged into my verizon account, turned off advanced hd calling, waited a day, and then enabled it again. my phone automatically recognized that i had advanced calling, so there was nothing else to do on the phone end to get it working again. you may not have to wait a day. i figured it was more than enough for the change to propagate through verizon's system.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've been wanting to report that I swear I tested HD/Advanced Calling on [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 ROM way back when he first released it, but it's been such a long time ago and I'm currently running 47A so I don't have enough certainty to swear by it, although [MENTION=6251809]altwu[/MENTION] 's response makes me even more sure.

There's only two other 35B-based ROMs that I'm aware of. JasmineROM 9.0 + 9.1, and SkyDragon 6.x.

Other than stock? I don't think any ROM other than a stock ROM would support Verizon's HD/Advanced Calling.

If you wanted stock 35B, I'd flash JasmineROM 9.x and any of the additional debloating I link to in my signature below (for best affect, flash the debloat zips before booting the ROM the first time). With both JasmineROM 9.x and SkyDragon 6.x, you MUST either flash the 24B bootstack (either before or after flashing the ROM) or flash the 35B bootstack (only AFTER the flashing the ROM). Failure to do so will result in a brick requiring you to temporarily return to stock unrooted, preferably via the 10B TOT because of it's ease to be rooted and install TWRP via the Stump and TWRP Manager apps.

I always root and install TWRP while on 10B, and recommend everyone do so. I'm not sure if anything besides Kingroot will root 35B and higher, and Kingroot is very untrustworty - @ xdabbeb did a lot of digging and found out just how entrenced Kingroot is after you use it to root. Also, at least on 46A and 47A - don't know about 35B, you had to re-root after every reboot when using Kingroot.
[Verizon LG G3] Protonus:
Hi [MENTION=6251809]altwu[/MENTION] - thanks for the suggestion. I tried this again. Waited overnight to enable it again thru the website. It did not work. I tried a call before and after a shutdown after re-activation, and it didn't work either time. I then tried to "Activate Advanced Calling" thru the phone again, and it said it was already active, asking me to do another power cycle, which didn't work.

To be clear, this is what I'm seeing exactly: At first the "Activate Advanced Calling" option did nothing on click. Installing the My Verizon app fixed that. After that, it asks you to activate, when I click that it says the feature is already active on my account as expected, and asks me to power off/on my device. The "Activate Advanced Calling" option becomes grayed out as expected, and it says the service has been upgraded underneath.

However, after power cycle, the option is back to normal (not grayed out). I also never get the "Advanced Calling - turn on/off HD Voice and Video Call" option in this menu that I've seen on other phones post activation. And, it doesn't work either. :(

I believe that missing "Advanced Calling" toggle in the menu, is indicative of what is missing or not working. I'm guessing there is an APK or service this ROM is missing that allows that option to show up, and for Advanced Calling to function.

[MENTION=6251809]altwu[/MENTION] - I'm assuming you have this second, "Advanced Calling" toggle on your phone, right? And the first option for "Activate Advanced Calling" is grayed out?
[Verizon LG G3] altwu:
yup, that's what i'm seeing.

prior to upgrading to 47a, i was running jasmine 4.0, which was 4.4.2 based also. advanced calling was enabled and worked. i downgraded to 10b and then went through the all the steps to upgrade to 47a. after i installed 47a, "Activate Advanced Calling" was not grayed out and it was clickable, but i didn't click it. also, there was no fine print saying that the service was upgraded. my verizon account on the website said that advanced calling was enabled, so my phone and my account were not in sync regarding this feature. disabling the feature in my account got my account to match my phone. from there i could enable it and my phone and account would still match.

it sounds like your phone thinks you don't have advanced calling enabled. does that match with the setting in your account on the website? if not, disable it again in your account so it matches your phone, wait a while, and enable again. i wouldn't bother with the My Verizon app, since it's one more variable in the mix. but if you want a challenge and somehow get your phone, account, and My Verizon app to all show the same advanced calling status, then i'd say you're golden.

as a last resort, call verizon for help. i know it's painful to talk to them. they should be able to push advanced calling enable/disable signals to your phone right away so you don't have to play the waiting game.
[Verizon LG G3] Protonus:
One of the things I wondered is if the 35B bootstack or modem was to blame for HD Voice not working on XDABBEB's 35B ROM, since both Jasmine and SkyDragon used 24B bootstacks.

I tried JUST flashing the 24B modem over top of my already working XDABBEB's 35B ROM. Sadly this resulted in me having no signal whatsoever. I had to flash the 35B modem to get signal back. But I wonder if there is a way to use the 24B modem on XDABBEB's ROM? That if it even matters. I'm grasping as straws here. I'm still leaning toward the line of thinking that XDABBEB debloated something in his ROM that broke this, especially since I can't find any reports of someone confirming ever having had HD Voice working on his 35 B ROM :(

BTW - is it worth even trying the 6.0 based ROM's at this point? I figured you're the guy to ask. I want to maintain ROOT and Xposed. Is there a ROM that's basically stock worth trying that support both without crazy hoops?

Basically, disabling/enabling the feature on the Verizon website seems to have no effect on my phone, EXCEPT, if I disable it on the website, I can then Activate it on my phone, after which, it asks me to wait 5 minutes and reboot. So it DOES recognize the service status, for the purpose of the Activate setting, which, seems to use the My Verizon App for functionality (because without the My Verizon app, this setting does nothing).

However, even after activating it on the phone, and rebooting as instructed, it still doesn't work. It goes right back to Activate again, without being grayed out anymore, I'm still missing the HD Voice toggle, and it doesn't actually work.

Calling Verizon I believe will be a very frustrating dead end considering I'm not running a stock ROM and I'm rooted.

I'm rather convinced that XDABBEB's 35B ROM has something debloated in it that's preventing this from working, some APK or service it's missing. I just wish I knew WHAT, so I could sideload it from another image ,ugh.

There's precious little info out there that I've found, on what exactly, Verizon's HD Voice functionality uses, in terms of apk's and services etc.

I'd really like to solve this, but I lack the base knowledge on how this operates to figure it out, which is why I'm leaning towards changing ROM's to be done with it. But I hate giving up, and I otherwise really love [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's 35b ROM. If only I could make it work :(
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, quite the opposite. [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION] couldn't get Advanced/HD Calling working without the 35B modem, and they couldn't get the 35B modem working at all because the 35B modem requires the 35B sbl1, and neither ROM includes that. The Bootstacks include the appropriate sbl1 partition. It wasn't until [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] revealed his bootstacks and that information that we were able to use Advanced/HD Calling on a 35B ROM.

The 24B modem probably requires the 24B sbl1. You can flash the 24B bootstack on his ROM if you feel like it, but Advanced/HD Calling on a 35B ROM won't work without the 35B modem.

Depends on what you mean by worth trying. First of all, [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] distinguishes the 47A firmware from his VS985 v2.0 ROM (as opposed to the 47A one being v3.0) in that it's as completely stock as possible, while still being rooted and being capable of getting into TWRP. The 47A firmware uses the 35B Bootstack because the 47A modem requires the 47A sbl1, and the 47A sbl1 doesn't get along with the 12B aboot (bootloader) - it causes a QHSUSB_BULK 9008 brick, which can be recovered (I did twice during testing when [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] tried to work around the issue). The 12B aboot is required in order to be able to get into TWRP.

The 35B sbl1 and modem are the most recent ones that get along with the 12B aboot.

I've tested Advanced/HD Calling on 47A (I'm pretty sure even after my full debloating available in the third post of the 47A firmware thread, or in my signature below, although I'd have to verify that). It definitely worked fine for me without debloating although I didn't try the video part.

For what it's worth, I don't think it's an APK - unsure about anything else. Sorry if I've already asked this, but have you implemented any of [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's further option "switches" on that ROM? Like the further debloating or anything else? If so, have you tried the re-bloat switch, etc?
[Verizon LG G3] Protonus:
I haven't tried any of his switches or further debloating, no. Before I switch to another ROM (I'm leaning towards giving Jasmine 9.1 a whirl, when I work up the desire to screw with a working phone again), I'm going to try flashing xdabbeb's 35A ROM again, and trying advanced calling before installing or doing anything else. I suppose there is a chance that an app or setting I've loaded could be at at fault, somehow. Though in a way that's almost worse, trying to figure out after what one it was, lol ugh.

[Verizon LG G3] Protonus:
I finally gave up on xdaddeb's ROM. No matter what I did I couldn't get the Quick Circle case, or Advanced Calling to work on it. I'm convinced he debloated some files necessary for both to work.

However, I'm happy to report, that I have BOTH features working great, on Jasmine ROM 9.1 - even with using his Moderate Debloat script; and reinstalling all my apps/settings! That just further cements my belief that it was the ROM at fault as everything is (finally) back to how I had it on xdaddeb's ROM.

I'm just happy to finally be on a stable, well performing ROM that is bug free; and supports all the features I use. Yay! I can finally move on with my life, lol.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, I'm sure you'll be very happy on 35B now that you got the things you wanted working. Glad to hear it.

Hi, today I accidently poke the microphone hole (correct me if i am wrong) on top because mistaken it for the sd slot as i was rushing. I think i break a seal or something because i felt like it went through something. Will it have huge effect on my phone? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
You probably broke the microphone, which is used for noise reduction when making a phone call. I can only guess about the effects, but I would assume noise reduction will no longer work. It may have compromised the water resistance, too, but without seeing teardown of how the phone is assembled there's no way to be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] helenmvas:
Hi, the same thing just happened to me. I also heard something pop when I pushed it, but it turns out the functionality of the microphone is intact. I was wondering about the waterproofing though. Have you tested your device? I use my phone around water quite often and really want to know if it will compromise the waterproofing.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tom289:
Mine arrived too. I listed it for sale right away before the market is flooded.

My Oculus Rift CV1 arrives next week and HTC Vive perhaps a week after that :)

The GearVR is gimmicky at best, nothing compared to the full-blown VR experience because it doesn't have positional tracking. When you lean in closer to objects, nothing happens. The FOV also is too narrow so you see black bars at the edge of your screen. The 360 videos are a blurry mess. I had a GearVR last year and sold it after using it once (I already had an Oculus DK2 for a full year before trying that).

Oculus Home is very slick though, but it'll be on the Rift CV1 as well.

If you try your GearVR and are disappointed, just remember that the full-blown PC version is at least twice as more immersive. I think mobile VR will catch up within a few years.

Hi ppl,

I've collected all the tools I use to translate roms from our chefs (God bless them). I don't want to steal anyone's work so the most of the credit should go to the creator of the tools I've packed, so all but Muiver, 2bytecut, Go.bat that were made by me.

It should be easy for everyone to make a translation following these steps (it's easier to do than to read ...):

1) Download and install windows PROFESSIONAL image in your language (source language) from here

2) Download your preferred foreign language (destination language) ROM (i.e. TNT or OCATIVOI or whatever ... )

3) copy the images over microwave dir, go to the command prompt and run GO "your language image file" "foreign language nbf file":

4) Let it run ... When Muiver opens up, set the right languages, pick your preferred options and hit GO.

MuiVer automatically looks for the right directories in the MS dump and copies it over the image that needs to be translated, modifying some files and making things you don't have to care about. At this stage you only have to choose, based on your (future) experience, what you want to copy and what not. The options are : Mui directories (OS), Other Mui files (OEMapplications), Other non MUI files (other language related files like staticdict); The more you copy, the most will be translated, more problem you may experience (missing texts, or applications that goes blank screen).

I suggest to always copy the MUI directories and experiment with other options.

5) You're nearly done only have to edit initflashfiles.dat according to your language. This file contains the localized name of some system directories and especially the start menu and start menu items names.

When wincmp opens up you will see two child windows: the left one is the file you have to edit, The right pane c0ntains the initflashfiles localized for your language. Edit the left one, according to what you can see in the right one and then "save source" from File menu. Take big care to the name of the "startup" dir (i.e. in italian it must be changed in "Esecuzione automatica") otherwise your rom won't start the customization (no screen alignment, no initial settings .. etc etc..). I suggest not to change the name of the links in the appbutton section however.

6) When nb2nbf opens up, set everything like always (look at the picture) and hit "translate" button

Flash your new translated rom (tools included) ;)

It's a beta, just test .. I am quite happy with it. I'll update the script to run with other devices.

DOWNLOAD links beta3:

Rapidshare Download link

Mediafire Download link

Fixed beta3:

- Added a new tool to speed up initflashfiles.dat editing

Fixed beta2:

- Before flashing move or delete manually the file nk-old.nbf or the Updater could reflash that one in place of the translated one
