Is there a specific reason for the absence of custom roms based on stock KK for the LS980? Or based on other device but made for the LS980...?
Is something in particular holding devs back?
I would really like to try some of the G Pro II ports... or maybe an updated justins rom KK...

Don't quote me on this but I believe it has to do with kernel issues. I'm running stock rooted ZVC but savoca had to make a special file to be able to keep twrp and still load the rom

Its not kernel issues its more of getting a custom recovery on the phone after the kit kat update LG blocked an exploit used to install and use recoveries like TRWP. It gives you a verification issue when you try booting to recovery im pretty sure thats the main reason. Having said that there are ways to get around it but i believe you have to have ubuntu which half the people cant get and the process is so risky many users reported soft bricking and hard bricking their devices and at the moment rooting is about as far as you can go after kit kat our phones basically took on "samsung knox" in LGs form

There are also simpler ways to install twrp but then your kernel breaks and you have to flash something else which eventually breaks twrp so you are stuck at stage 1 all over again

OK just confirmed that you can get it to work and boot with twrp but it breaks download mode check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702007

I get all this. But whats the point right now to do all this if there still isnt an actual custom rom to flash...? Besides all this. Is something different that no developer has actually made or released a rom for us... i thought it would just have been a patch for th is phone and hats it. But it seems like theres more to it. Besides the whole recovery thing.

Then do it. Show us your mad dev skillz. Because obviously you know what needs to be done. You don't even need to completely customize the rom. Just port a different one like the ones your interested in.
Or do just part of the work to help the others out. Compile a new kernel so that we don't need to use stock. Release your hack to make it so we don't break download mode when we make it still possible to bypass loki. Get real creative and make the ZVC radio work on Jellybean!
And if you don't feel like doing the actual work to get it working, why don't you get involved in the threads where they are talking about issues, and help out the ones that ARE doing the work. Jump on IRC and give them a heads up on how you fixed it so they can put release it for everyone to use.
And your sig says your on an LG-D801, so nothing here would work for your phone anyway!
Yeah.. i tried once and got stuck at the part to download sources... but thats not hat i mean. Im asking this. Because devs said that once a kernel and sourco came out they would make a patch. Obviously something is different for us that this patch hasn't been possible for us... if it was as simple as they thought it would have been done already.
But i dont think the recovery problems are delaying this. Or are they? Maybe they are to prevent bricks? But ive seen plenty of devs release either way with obvious disclaimers only for advanced users.

You obviously missed my point. The point was, if it was possible with the current state of the phone, there would be at least THREE out by now (stock rooted, Optimus, and d3rp). Since you don't see those 3 released yet, that means that there are other issues. So if you can fix those issues, let the community know how to fix them. If you can't fix the issues, then be patient and realize that all threads like this do is annoy the people that are working hard trying to fix them. Because it comes off as being very ungrateful and demanding of people that are volunteering their time to make things better for everyone. If you can help, do it. If you can't help, be patient.
Update. I memtioned that im on justiins rom, well thats because i use my ls980 for tmobile. Well i decided to flash cloudyproii 1.2 after following the autoboot instuctions specified by the person who uploaded the zvc tot. And saw no harm so i backed up everything and wiped everything and flashed cloudy then flashed s avocas ls980 kernel then autoboot again. Then i had to wipe cache again and it boot up. And its running great. The only thing is i cant currently record at 120fps or 4k.... but this rom is great.

I was really wanting a custom rom, but with the xposed modules and Furnace kernel, i'm getting most of just about all the customization I'd get anyway.
The thing is that with the Sprint rom it is so much hassle to use with gsm. That's why I used Justin's first. And now this cloudyproii. Rom is great.

Using Justin's, and working in gsm mode. Probably made it so you can use the cloudy pro 2. Sprint users can't use it yet as it isn't altered to work with us.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Justins had nothing to do with it. Its just that cloudyproii doesnt have cdma support so it defaulted to gsm.
I actually flashed the zvc tot to upgrade so i was using sprint, then flashed cloudyproii... i just had to flash an ls980 kernel and then autoboot.

so how is CloudyPro working for you after you flashed it. does it work well enough for a daily driver?
Sent from my Sprint LG G2 using Tapatalk
Its great. Totally a DD. But obviously only for GSM... im using it on tmobile. Its better than justins rom because i have the custom goods. The only things not working are NFC and the 4K and 120FPS but i ddnt have them before either...

CloudyPro 2 doesn't show support for ls980. How did u get it to work? What version did u flash in recovery?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
It doesnt show support because there is no CDMA software... and since I use tmobile i selected d801 in aroma

And after flashed ls980 kernel and autoboot

Can this be done with other roms? I use t mobile also. Can I flash any 801 rom as long as I change the kernel?

Well I tried cloudy pro because its for multiple variants... I think if you try a d801 specifically it will probably say that your phone isn't a d801 and it probably won't. let you...

Earlier today I updated my rooted nexus 7 (2013) from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, and then to 4.4.4 using the method described in this article
nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/update-your-rooted-nexus-android-4-4-4-without-losing-any-data-update-0155334
It seemed that everything went perfectly. Then I changed to franco.kernel r16. I'm not sure if it was before or after I changed my kernel, but now my WiFi will not turn on! I go into settings and flick the switch to turn it on, but it just stays grey and gets stuck if I don't close out of settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Had the same problem, and I found out my kernel was for 4.4.2 and I was running a custom ROM 4.4.3...
That was my problem but I hope it helps

Lg g2 ls980, build kot49I.LS980ZVC-kernal 3.4.0 - KK4.4.2 Using twrp 7.3.5
I have no problem backing up or installing ls980 zvc roms but when rebooting it only gets to the logo then reboots. I have searched for solution and I'm sure it's here but I have already bricked one G2 and fear being off one step then bricking again. Thx for any advice.

Which twrp? Should be 2.7.0.1 is latest. How did you install twrp. If you were already on zvc you should have used auto-rec.
Sounds like your bootloader may not be downgraded with proper kennel.

Yeah I did use the Auto rec. I was doing back flips actually when I was finally able to do a nand backup. But about this bootloader thing I don't have a clue. Please give me noob instructional advice I suffered With the LG Esteem and all the pipe dreams of Cm9/10 back then. And really need a new rom fix.
Thx Curster (droid drunky)

I have tried many actually. cm11 regular and the latest nightly, Pacman I'm not sure of them all but I am using the latest twrp and it says install successful so I don't know really.
I'm not sure aosp is compatible yet with zvc. Best to at least get up and running is either super g2, or optimus.
Sounds like mostly aosp builds.
Try one of those stock base first

Thx I will try that then report my findings. Has anyone else had this problem? And I suppose I should start a new thread for this question.... But is the LG G2 LS980 from sprint able to be unlocked and transferred to another carrier?
Actually yes. It is through build prop edits. But in doing so if you mess something up you could be stuck.

Yeah, you have to wait. It's killing me too. However, I don't really want to be one of the first users of a custom ROM either. So I would have to bear it out for a few months. This may be the longest I have been on a stock rom.

There are still no custom ROMs or much kernels for this version and others because the bootloaders are sadly still locked. We have to wait and see if and when LG comes up with and official solution Or maybe someone else comes up with something.

It seems F400 is popular?
Locked Bootloader
It's been such a long time since I've had a phone with an unlockable bootloader... It is ridiculous that at this time and age we have an OEM that still locks it's bootloader hard...
Last time I had to deal with this was back in the Xperia x10 days... It still gives me the chills...
At least the G3 is a great phone which doesn't make me want a custom rom THAT bad... Unlike the x10 with 1.6 android rom on it...
Now since the LG G3 has a custom recovery how long until we will see AOSP Roms? i know the bump recovery was just released, but im just wondering ? because i cant wait to run them on my Verizon G3
