[Q] How Come We Haven't Seen Stock KitKat Roms? - Sprint LG G2

Maybe this has been asked, but I've noticed that there aren't any stock KitKat Roms. Is this due to a loki issue or just a lack of interest? Thanks!

KitKat has just been an issue of being torn apart. It is getting closer.. A little longer

I agree and wounder myself. I seen other models get roms already. I am starting to wounder if I bought the wrong phone.

You have to remember kit Kat came out for ours last so. And they did some funky stuff.

Help no in call audio with any 4.3 rom

I have tried numerous times with numerous roms same problem....no in call audio
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
I've had the same problem. I think I saw a thread that had a link to an app that would help or fix the problem but I can't find it anywhere. Every Rom I've tried had the same problem, no call audio. They can't hear me and I can't hear them. I gave up looking after a few hrs of searching

What are the variables involved? It doesn't seem to impact everyone, so there's got to be something going on here, since it has happed to more than one person. Can anyone with the problem share their steps to produce it in detail?
I remembered reading that some of the AT&T E980 has a different audio chip than regular E980.I've tried the Alsamixer but it open as a blank screen with no option to change the audio.
Same for me opens with black screen

How can we tell which audio chip it has? Is it only some of the AT&T E980s or all of them?
That sucks because I've just purchased this specifically for CM/AOSP use!
E980 no sound bug.
Please reply if some one is looking into this, as it looks it has been washed under the rug. no one is even talking about it.
Much appreciated

Fix
The only thing that make the call bug goes away is plug in your headphone before answering or making a phone call. It's too much of a hassle so I went back to the Unofficial CM 10.1 ROM. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's been very stable.

What can you tell us about your device? Where and when did you purchase? What ROM did you flash to CM from? Do you know what baseband, etc.?
I also had the same problem when I used the BeanStalk Harmony 4.3 ROM...Only solution from me was to use the speaker..never tried the headphones method though.

Was it the only ROM AOSP ROM you tried? Again, what are your specs here? I'm asking folks to submit their details to try to clear up what it might actually be, if it's fixable, and instead, a few are just responding with general answers.
Details help fix things, if they are fixable.

I bought it from ebay so I don't know the date it was bought. I flash from the stock April ROM and using the same baseband from the stock rom. I've also tried to flash from the July ROM but it still has the same issue.

Base band would be BM9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.113012 . I'm using CM 10.1 for now so I don't have the firmware anymore. Yes, it's the AT&T E980 Version

OGP 4.2 Update deatils

Helo guys , I have just got off a friendly chat with my close friend who works for the LG Android Team in India and who are testing currently the software..
as per him the OGP E988 ( for now ) will recieve the 4.2 update by last week of Jan or 3rd week
This is confirmed info .. so another 2-3 weeks..
As he said all of the engineers are asked to prioritise updates for G2 than Gpro .. be it work or anything and engineers are working weekends to deliver for G2 first..
Such a shame after all this time we only get 4.2 (They should at least give us 4.3 with Trim function)
SO only 4.2 but no KitKit??
Can't tell Its a good or bad news ???
Better 4.2 than nothing
its bad news that take them too long
but 4.2.2 is nice update after all better then nothing
and maybe it will help our great devs port KK from lg g2
4.2 too bad
Sent from my LG-E980h using xda app-developers app

I think it's bad news considering we are on 4.4.2 now on CM official nightly. And yes could bring great performance and New apps, but won't you still feel like **** knowing you are on jelly bean while all other phones are on kitkat, maybe even better 5.0 by June next year(2014). I say join custom rooms and forget official outdated outdates.

I know being on 4.1.2 right now seems like left behind. But I have used 4.4.2 and not so impressed. The LG stock as modified in these forums is much better than other brand stock roms and the performance is better than my experience with the 4.4.2 custom roms.

One can't just undermine the lg stock 4.1.2. With root access and xposed frameworks it works like a charm. Never had a random reboot or any freeze for the first few weeks i used it. Heck at one time i had 500+ hours uptime.
Though i have moved on to slimkat now. That's another beauty. Most stable kitkat rom IMO

So from what am seeing seems like we are stuck once again..... Samsung keeps making it impossible for us to flash without using the new bootloaders.... Seems like the guys on the 9505 already made a Flashable for 4.4.2 leak but if you are not on their latest bootloader wifi doesn't work...... & You know tmobile won't be giving us this update till probably the s6 comes out lol

Any big difference between TW 4.3 vs TW 4.4.2 ?
I know that the 4.4.2 Google Edition Roms absolutely scream as far as real world performance goes. But somehow I doubt the TW 4.4.2 will offer a huge performance boost vs its earlier counterpart. Anyone have any insight into this?
@^ I recently checked some videos of the new kitkat update for the galaxy S4 on youtube and there isn't quite many changes. The only changes are some of the notification icons and also the settings now says 4.4.2, that's the only difference that I saw. There might be some performance boost on this update, but nothing really changed.

It performs pretty well actually and it also has some big features like the new location settings, tap and pay working out of the box, printing without a third party app and they revamped some lock screen settings, keyboard, and also now has AUTO high touch sensitivity so now it can actually sense when you're wearing gloves ( which I have tested and works great)

According to this, Verizon has approved the 4.4 update, and we should be expecting the OTA rollout "shortly".

I'm debating on taking it or not. It doesn't look like 4.3 Root/S-Off will be happening at all, so I guess at this point, I might as well take it, as there probably won't be another major software overhaul anytime soon.
I'm sure one of our great devs will have a stock rooted Rom available shortly after the ota just like santod did with 4.3

Wha?!? Man.. I suppose I've just been stuck in the rumrunner thread awaiting updates.
I saw Firewater mentioned, but thought that was just another 4.2 root.
I suppose I should check that out. I was getting anxious here.
Really hope this update helps with the purple camera hue. "Improved low light performance" seems pretty good.

Update is live and rolling out! See my post in the main general thread. My wife is downloading now. I am in SW Missouri. Have fun!
Do we know or suspect anything yet in regard to
1) keeping root through the 4.4 OTA?
2) the negative impact of accepting the OTA on a rooted device running TWRP? I read something today that seemed to indicate that you needed the stock recovery to accept the OTA, so perhaps this is a moot point.
Related Note:
Why do I care if I am rooted? Why don't I just wait and flash a custom Sense 5.5 based on the new OTA firmware when it becomes available? It's interesting - I keep going back to my stock, rooted, original rom after flashing multiple roms available here on XDA, even some very good ones. HTC has done a pretty darn good job with Sense 5, and while I had no qualms leaving 3.6 behind for stock AOSP Android when available, I find myself missing Sense features when I use AOSP or GPE on my One. I've messed around with a couple of Sense custom roms, and I keep returning to the original firmware. I appreciate the ability to remove apps entirely through TiBu, so keeping root is good, and I reserve the ability to flash a custom rom if I get itchy want to, but I look at the fact that we are soon to receive an OTA, and I am torn. I know that it will be likely a matter of hours before someone Santod posts a stock rooted Verizon 4.4, but I've already set mine up exactly the way I wanted it. It's funny, after spending a couple of months not flashing new roms, both on the last month of my Bolt when there was nothing new and in the first month of having the One when 4.3 couldn't be rooted, I got really annoyed at the amount of time I was spending setting up accounts and preferences and mods and whatnot during the last week of flashing custom One roms. /rambling

Not to make you worry or anything, because chances are you're fine...but, it took my One about 3 months to develop camera issue. I'm not sure if they started putting updated hardware in the later builds or not. They very well could have and you'll be good to go.

I'm a CM fan. Strange we don't have a thread for it here..
Try Carbon. If you want to flash a kernel make sure you use a 4.4.2 based kernel or else WiFi won't work
Similar to Pokemen, the only correct answer to this question is:
"You gotta try em all!!"
