First off this a modified version of the LG G3 F400K10G build prop. Main attempt of this is to enable BOTH LED with individual Text Message tone in the stock Contacts app. IF done correctly it will allow use of message tone notifications for each of your contacts. Be warned when the mesagging app is open I think the default notification noise is used, not sure why this is but this is a temp fix really to enable this feature on the LG G3 F400K10G. I imagine it would work for most fo the F400 models but I cannot confirm as my wife only has the F400K model. This will also enable the 4G LTE icons commonly found on US phones in the status bar it also does away with the dual clock on lock screen and Roaming setting in the settings. The features are there but region specific, so on to the directions.....
1------>Device must be compatible with build prop LG G3 F400K10G recommended
2------>Device must be ROOTED and have R/W access to /system folder because this is where the build prop is located
3------>You must be able to set permissions properly or you device will not boot, usually rw-r--r-- or owner-> Read, Write Group-> Read only Others->Read Only
4------>Know what you are doing and how to restore phone from TOT or mod thru ADB just incase. I am not responsible for YOUR phone(mistakes)!!!
5------>Back up exist build prop as you see fit for example name it build.prop.bak or even copy it to SD card or PC.
6------>Download and extract the build.prop from the zip folder. ZIP Folder is NOT Flashable!
7------>Use your preferred Root Explorer to copy and paste and set permissions and back up as needed.
8------>Once you are sure everything is completed from Step 7 the reboot your phone and verify changes
9------>Feel free to mod the build prop to meet your needs for those advanced users.
Enjoy!

*Pretty please make a NANDROID backup before you do this. I know you just recently installed the ROM, so if you don't have much on there and don't mind to flash in the event that something goes wrong, then no worries. Still, it wouldn't hurt!!*
Basically, what we are doing here, is giving you the app, installing it on the phone and then copying the APK file from /data/app to /system/app. I don't know much about the Fassy, but the file system structure should be close.
There are two ways to do this. You can use ADB to execute the commands, or use a file explorer (I use Root Explorer) to move the APK file. I also picked a free APN app .
APN Manager Pro
Throw this on your external SD card. Once you have it on there, open up your File Manager.
Navigate to your external SD card(should be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or something similar, we have already established our phones are slightly different, ha ha).
Find the file ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation-1.apk and long press it. You should get a list of options. You want to select move.
Navigate back to your root directory.
Go to /system/app. Once you get there, depending on your file manager, you should have the option to set the permissions as r/w (read/write). By default, Root Explorer is always set to r/o (read only) on my phone.
Paste the APK file.
Long press the APK file and select permissions.
- You have three sets of privileges: Read/Write/Execute
- You have three sets of groups: Owner/Group/Others
- - Make sure Owner, Group and Others have checks under Read.
- - Make sure Owner has checks under Write.
- - There should not be any checks under Execute.
- - There should not be any checks on any of the special permissions.
Hit OK.
Click on the APK file and select install.
Once the install has completed (should be almost instantly) reboot the phone.
Now you have an app that is capable of setting APN information.
When the phone has booted back up, open the app and select Backup & Restore. Make a backup. If the new APN doesn't work properly, you will have a backup you can fallback to.
Enter the information and hit save. Once you have done that you can select the APN and set it as the main. If you lose functions then restore the backup.
I hope this works out!!

This MOD is for those phones which have not been activated on Sprint network.
There is a thread already present how to activate Wi-Fi tethering for non Sprint activated phones here.
Many LG G2 LS980 can tether but only one device can connect to it.
This MOD will increase the number of users that connect to your phones Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Use Root Explorer , Browse to carrier/wifi/gm --> copy "gm" file to sd card of your phone, press and hold the same file to get a secondary popup menu, select rename, rename the file to gm.txt.
Press and hold again and select Open in text editor, change the value from 1 to your desired number, 2 in my case. save and exit, now when you save this file and exit, if the value you entered has saved, it will create a new file "gm.txt.bak" if this file is created then the value you have entered in gm.txt file has saved. Rename the file back to "gm" from "gm.txt" and copy back to carrier/wifi/ folder. check if the permissions are same as the rest of the files present in the same folder, if not change it to same. NO REBOOT required. Please do test and report back.
Please proceed if you know how to modify root files. I have done this mod to my phone and currently connected 2 devices, (laptop & Note 3) both have data of hotspot from G2. :good: if helped

Max user 8 on LG V20
I am trying to do this on the LG V20 rom but cannot find the files you specified. Would you know how to change Max Users to 20 or unlimited?
When I try to edit the build.prop as soon as I start to add the following entries it starts underlining red. When I try and save it says that there was an error. I have root explorer turned on. Any ideas?
This is from the SOKP thread:
to fix the red border bug add the following lines to your build.prop using your favorite explorer:
persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0
persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1
I saw this in the SOKP thread. Not sure why that is necessary as that option is actually a part of dev tools at least in every rom I've seen to date. I'd first try Settings>Developer Options though i believe the issue is that Strict Mode is persisted and adding or editing buil.prop will be needed. Worth a try. Let us know if you can here and/or on the SOKP thread if you can post to dev forums if the dev options is all it takes.
Also many file explorers will allow you to view certain root folders, typically the root ("/") of the phone only but will not allow any write operations until several conditions are met. Of course you have to have working full root and SuperSU/Superuser installed and supersu binary updated for one. Second many explorers leave device root, /system (where your build.prop file should be) and pretty much everything other than internal and external storage, mounted -ro by default. Take for example CM's Filemanger. CM builds (official at least) come with supersu and Superuser injected in the build. This of course makes the 1st step i listed unnecess. However upon first opening CM File Mgr, access to the root of the device is restricted and no operations can be performed by the user directly at the root level. This is of course easily solved by going into the app settings and changing the mode that it operates. By default to prevent dangerous & unintended operations to sensitive files and partitions, CM File Mgr defaults to "Safe Mode". As far as File Mgr goes you have two other choices "Prompt" and "Root" modes that will allow you write access to things like build.prop at which time you will get a superuser popup to grant or deny root privledges to the app. And Just because you have recieved the superuser popup does not mean your file explorer/root browser is operating in Root mode. I recommend using root browser by jrummy,or ES File Explorer. ES is an example of a browser that requires you to elevate its privileges, root browser does not and they are both widely used.
Now I know that seems like a long answer but the idea is the same whether it CM's File Mgr or the two I just mentioned, just a little insight to common issues. This is not a fix all. Partial or buggy SELinux/SEAndroid builds will require more attention as /system stays mounted -ro except when commanded by root level apps invoked through busybox and The SELinux Contexts and other properties determine who gets access to what. Dont worry you don't have to know what any of that is just hope this helps.

If you are rooted you can try the following :
Install SQLite editor from play store.
Install any root explorer, I use ES File explorer.
Open root explorer and navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
Copy the settings.db wherever you want to and open it to be edited with SQLite editor. We have to make this workaround because the db is locked and cannot be edited in its original path.
Change register setup_wizard_nonvzwsim_enable from 0 to 1
Overwrite the original settings.db with our edited settings.db using root explorer.
reboot and enjoy your almost global phone!
Please do not leave any copy of original db in its original path, like "settings.db.bak". It might cause bootloops, in that path should be just one db named settings.db\
Please note you are doing this at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that happens to the phone so don't try this if you are not comfortable with backing up and restoring your phone. As you mentioned the notification does not interfere with the usage of the phone so you can just keep using it I guess.
thanks

thanks man ill root is ASAP. will this allow me to update the phone as well?
I know have multiple user accounts is a feature for Lollipop but seems to have been removed from Samsung. Anyone know how to enable to feature or an a workaround?
The code is in the firmware; you need to edit your build.prop. You'll see the user tab in Settings and user icon on top right of pull-down and quick toggles screens.
Add the text at bottom to end of build.prop; leave one blank line at bottom of build.prop, but no spaces in margin to right as shown if you copy all lines to paste. Alternately, you can use a root browser to do this manually or use a prop editor like this one below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
Be careful. Consider at your own risk; you can potentially harm your phone's performance or even prevent it from booting-up, requiring you to restore the original build.prop in TWRP file manager or a full TWRP restore. Make an unmodified backup up both build.prop and full TWRP backup image to be safe.
Reboot to apply after build.prop edit. You can use less users, if preferred.
