Hi, new to the forum, I tired to figure out this problem on youtube to no avail. So I have a rooted g3 with twrp. After the botting process, it takes me to the setup screen. But after getting to the point where I pick the look of the onscreen home buttons etc, the wizard crashes, I press 'OK" and it starts over. So then I found a link here about going into twrp and deleting the setupwizard.apk file which is supposed to 'fix" the problem(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2668851). Did that then I rebooted but still same issue remains. What else can be done about this?
Can't you just skip it and do it manually

I had the same issue when flashing "Lonely Rom" and "Zone Rom" (come to find out my original out of the box rom crashed also if I went back into it and tried to do the set up again). 2 apks need to be deleted (4 if still odexed) LgStartUpWizard in system app folder and LgSetupWizard in priv-app folder. I edited my zip before flashing with all the updated Google equivalents plus some other stuff I normally do. The Google set up process worked like a charm and everything is running better than stock (better battery life and no noticeable lags) even though it's a "stock rom", I also run Xposed with several modules for my needs with no adverse effects here.

Hello,
I am new to the site, and fairly inexperienced with rooting. I used KingRoot to root my LG G3 and then did a factory reset so that I could re update to the current android version before rooting. Now I get stuck at the same point in the setup process. However, I do not have TWRP or CWM installed. What are my options?
Thanks

Hello there everybody. I'm kind of new to modding my T-mobile G2.
I tried running the Pyromod 1.6 on my phone and I followed directions to the T. At first startup everything was running normally. On my previous rom (Villianrom) I used titanium backup to back up all my apps and some data. I was reinstalling my old apps using titanium and then I ran into some issues.
First, I kept getting force close issues with the android media process. I was also unable to download or update any of my apps via the android market.
Second, whenever I tried setting up a widget, I get even more force close issues with the media process and a couple others.
In an attempt to remedy this, I rebooted my phone and now its stuck on the startup of the mod. ( the blue hexagon beehive like flashing and graphic)
I'm not too sure if this is a brick or not and I'm currently just letting it run to see if time is what it needs to start up.
Any help or suggestions would be a great help and appreciated. =)
When it ran the first time it was a really cool mod so i'd like to keep it if possible.
Thanks!
if you can get into recovery i think you are ok, try to wipe cache/dalvik and run fix permissions
You're better off just wiping the phone, reflashing the ROM (and don't flash any other kernels on top of it), and then just select "restore apps with data" from Titanium's batch window.
So, I'll lay this out in bullet form to be more organised. I'm using the VZW G3.
1. I rooted my phone with IORoot, everything worked fine
2. Downloaded SuperSU from the Play Store, installed using normal mode.
3. Rebooted
4. Decided with my new fancy root I can install a pretty font, so...
5. I downloaded Fontster from the Play Store. Installed Roboto Light or Thin I forgot. Something then happened, I forgot what, but I restarted my phone as it felt right.
6. It would bring up a popup with a crazy comic-sans font, saying system ui has stopped responding. It made everything impossible to use, only allowing shutting off via holding power button.
7. Having just purchased the phone, I decided to reset via the menu you get when you turn it on by volume down + power. Everything seemed fine other than the phone missing the default font, and just using the comic-y one instead.
8. I decided to root again, and I did, but when I did that the error from #6 shows up.
9. Now, even when I factory reset, the error just keeps happening making the phone impossible to use.
How can I fix this phone is resetting doesn't work? I'm not very savvy with these things, but with a well written guide I'm usually good.

I looked at a different guide earlier, luckily this one seems easier. I'll try in the morning.
I have seen so many people reporting this crash after messing with fonts over the last 24 hours.
I believe its because changing fonts deleted/removed/other the stock fonts on the device and then the whole thing decides to crash on you - probably due to the way the particular app you were using to change fonts decided to do it.
Your options are to use LG PC Suite, or "Flashtool 2014" to flash a KDZ file.
I had this yesterday. Fonster was the issue. Factory reset didn't help, nor did adding the affected fonts back to system/fonts.
In the end I followed @Lennyuk's thread to use LG PC suite to restore the rom, worked a treat.
I want to start off that I was not involved in the development of Xposed. I am simply providing a step-by-step guide with photos to make it easier to follow, as some people have expressed concern over which file they need to flash and so forth.
The guide is based off of the original G4 Xposed thread here.
*Before you get started, make sure your phone is fully charged and you have at least 30 minutes where you can be without your phone, as this process takes 20-30 minutes to complete. You also need root for this to work. There is always a chance your phone may need to be restored, so insure all your data is backed up, however this should not wipe any data.*
UPDATE 10/9/15:
The instructions below have been updated to reflect the latest official version of Xposed for Lollipop 5.1.
If you've installed the earlier v71 version of Xposed and would like to upgrade, all you need to do is flash the latest xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip file using FlashFire.
Step 1:
Download the Xposed Framework (xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip) from here.
Download the Xposed installer (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) from here.
Download FlashFire* from here.
*You will need to follow the links in the first post to join the FlashFire community, wait a few minutes, then click the Play Store link to become a tester. After ~5 minutes the download link will become live for you to download FlashFire.
Step 2:
Copy the two Xposed files to your internal storage (not MicroSD card!)
Step 3:
Install FlashFire on your phone.
Step 4:
Launch FlashFire
Grant root permissions
Click on the "+" in the bottom right
Click "Flash ZIP or OTA"
Select the path to where you downloaded the Xposed framework, and click on the file.
DO NOT select Auto-Mount, leave it unchecked.
Step 5:
Click "FLASH". Note, this may take ~30 minutes. After you click flash, your phone will appear to shut off. DO NOT touch your phone during this process. Around 15 minutes later, you will see commands being run and files copying, then it will appear to be off for another 15 minutes. Afterwards it will boot back into the OS.
Step 6:
Once you are booted back into the OS, install the Xposed Installer that you previously downloaded by launching it.
Finished!
You now have Xposed!
FlashFire is an amazing tool!
I jumped on the beta when it first came out.
Thank you for doing a roll up to include all files and instructions in a single thread!
I too have this working on my VS986!
Thanks for the screenshots and concise instructions! Helped being re-assured of the steps I needed to take throughout the entire process. You cannot go wrong if you follow these steps.
Thanks again!

Glad to help! I find screenshots and detailed instructions are easier to follow, than simple being told "Flash the zip with FlashFire".
Great write up. When i read the thread in the lg g4 general page i was concern because it took forever but eventually worked.

That's awesome that we can get this installed with the locked bootloader. But do any modules work? What are you guys using it for so far? I only ever used xposed for the pandora patcher module. Anything else out there worth trying?
Thanks for the write up on this by the way. Details are always a good thing.
Is anyone else getting the "updating apps" dialogue after each reboot?
Thanks a million!!! Has anyone tried GravityBox yet? It says it only works on vanilla Android. Just curious if anyone has it working on their VS986's? Thanks again!

Just an FYI, I'm running at DPI 540 and I only got "updating apps" once.

That makes sense.
I ended up switching back to stock dpi (modified dpi messed up my lock screen quick buttons, settings crashed constantly, camera wasn't happy and sense i would have to spend all that time adjusting them back to stock, I decided to do the opposite) I found it faster to leave dpi stock and adjust per app with AppSettings to achieve a better dpi setting for the apps that were driving me nuts. Like Google +, gmail, etc.
Be careful though the email app doesn't like to go below 560 dpi.
I have followed this exactly and tried several times now, but continue to have an issue with xposed actually recognizing that the framework is installed. It says the framework is not active. Anyone else experienced this and been able to correct it?
Edit: I should mention, I have indeed rebooted several times also.

Does the process fail on you anywhere? Does it take ~10 minutes both times to fully boot, or does it start back up immediately?

There aren't any failures anywhere that I can see, and it does take about 10 minutes both times.
Just to confirm with others, you have followed this guide without issues correct? I want to make sure there wasn't a mistake in my directions.
@jv, I would try to redownload all the files from the attachments and give it another go.
Just so you all know I did this ONE time on THREE different phones and every time I WAITED for it to finish. It WILL seem that the phone is off or dead or not doing jack **** but it is in fact booting to flashfire it just takes forever.
Thank you,
confirming - I followed the guide exactly and it worked with no issues. thanks!
one small thing - at the end of step 5, before booting back into the OS, there was another screen that did some fancy stuff
I didn't have any issues installing. I did get worried because it took longer than expected though. From flash to reboot to about 45 minutes. It was all I could do not to tank the battery out.
Greenify (donation) with xposed made the biggest difference as far as battery life. As for now, I'm 14hrs off the charger, 1hr 20 mins screen time, not on WiFi, and still at 70%.
So, i installed kingroot on my lg g2 and i figured i should try to get rid of some bloatware. I didnt make a backup of any apps. So i uninstalled a couple apps that that looked safe to delete and anyways it all works fine, until i restart my phone. Im getting like 3 error messages system UI is not working and a couple other apps, i cant navigate anywhere. The settings on the boot screen and i can navigate through them. I tried to flash the stock rom but since i have the sprint version and it has a different file type. All lg flash programs use kdz. I dont know how to reinstall the built in apps. Help, i know i was stupid for doing this and its all ny fault but can someone help me get it back to its original state. Thanks!

Finally figured out how to install Lineage... I think... it's installed for sure but not working. When at first startup it asked to choose a launcher, I picked PIXEL because had no idea which was which, and now I have no desktop, just the wallpaper and every 10sec the message pops up saying Pixel Launcher Keeps Stopping.
Went into the app, force stop, cleared cache and data, reboot and no change. No icons or anything so can't get into Play and download another launcher either.
Any ideas? I have 0 rooting/image/lineage type experience. My old tablet was a Nexus10 and Wugfresh did everything for me so, kinda new to this.
Thanks

Looks like you have a strange lineageOS version. Normally there is only trebuchet launcher. You can always restart installation at the step in twrp wipe system and data.

I followed howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android (I'm too new to post links).
Maybe it's the GApps? was vague on that stuff and were like 8 options and no idea which to choose so went for the Stock version
I need to redo it again anyways... followed directions but SuperSU not working right... tablet does show rooted but when I went to install Pokemon Go, immediately says won't work on rooted devices. Stupid Niantic. Doesn't matter, I never used anything that needed Root anyways. I'm a pretty basic user. Just want the games and Chrome to work really... but ever since 7.1 downloaded to the tablet, quite a few people with the same tablet can no longer play Marvel Contest of Champions because of the insanely long load screens and lag. From what I tried so far, this fixed it.
I'll try the install of LineageOS again but leaving out SuperSU and GApps.

All working now... tried without GApps and didn't like it, couldn't figure out where Google app store button was etc... so redid it again, same way as before with GApps but, left out the SuperSU which is what rooted the tablet, and works fine now. Just made sure when started up, not to choose Pixel as a launcher.
Need to figure out a few things... hoping a way to switch around the clock... time in the top/left corner is weird... never had a phone/tablet where it wasn't top/right. But small issues like that... just happy that certain apps are running properly again. Have playing games on a phone, I have big hands.
One issue I can't sort out yet... when I hold down on the background I get options for home settings, widgets and wallpaper...when I click to change wallpaper it just says app not installed

How did you get it to work all over again? I have a similar problem with no idea of how to boot my phone back in recovery mode (TWRP) and flash another GApps/ROM. I was using ADB command and honestly, I'm green on this.

Can't recall... spent hours on this thing to make it work and now that it does I haven't touched the installer since.
Fixed
I rebooted into TWRP, copied on my computer the file "/data/system/packages.xml" edited under <package name="com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher" ... and <perms>, I added the following lines:
<item name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR" granted="true" flags="0" />
<item name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACTIVITY_STACKS" granted="true" flags="0" />
(watch the screenshot)
saved the new xml and put back in /data/system/ with TWRP file manager... and the crash was fixed, no need to install other stuff!
