[Q] Should I downgrade to ZV8? - Sprint LG G2

Whats up guys!
So Ive been fiddling around with this phone since Ive gotten it, had my fair share of good and bad moments but all good now. However, Ive been realizing that I dont live in a Spark area so these new updates dont seem to have anything worthwile. I also heard that recent OTAs have been affecting the phones data, sometimes knocking people to 3G when they know they are in a 4G area. So for me, I want an opinion. Should I drop down to ZV8? The reason I ask is people dont seem to complain much about it AND people have been able to install CyanogenMod on that radio. Im on ZVD now, and the stock android experience has always been my favorite.

I was just on zv8 seeing if I liked it...
I'm not in a spark area either. But LTE still drops constantly here in Cincinnati anyway. There's also some other little issues with zv8 such as no immersive mode while watching video, the screen tends to do a weird dimming too depending on what's on your screen (with autobrightness off even).
Personally I'd stick with KK.
CM isn't that stable. If your gonna try other aosp based Roms give slimkat a go its been the best/bugfree for me...and no need to downgrade your baseband

Id be able to move up to KK with CM no? And I know its not very stable, even when I had it on my old Optimus G it still had its quirks but nothing I couldnt deal with. But those bugs with ZV8 do sound annoying, and I did stumble upon slimkat but for some reason I was turned off by it. I guess Ill give it a try.

Cm is kk yes I believe...but you need the old zv8 baseband still to get it to boot which breaks autorotation. There may be a hacked radio somewhere on these forums but I forget. Personally it scares me changing radios as I've seen devices get hard bricked from it.

Yeah I was going to downgrade through a ZV8 tot, that would work correct?

Yes it should.

Oops, wrong thread

could read through this,, dont think you have to downgrade..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765

I did and had attempted that before with no luck. I was able to install CM but had no service as the radio was not compatible still.

Will rooting help my 4g single?

I've been getting really frustrated with the service on my LG. Basically what my problem is I work in a warehouse building and I'm constantly switching between 3g and 4g. It's driving me crazy. Now I was wondering if I was to root my phone would there be a way to increase my data speeds? Or just a overall better single?

If you root, unlock, flash the JB radio updates, and flash one of the JB roms it may help. From what I've read people have been getting a better signal after flashing the radio update. I haven't been able to flash the radio update or a JB rom yet, but once I do, I'll have a more reliable opinion on the subject. If you flash the radio update, be sure that you also upgrade to Jelly Bean, the update doesn’t work well with ICS.
Part of the lack of signal problem has to do with Sprint sucking at providing reliable service.
Radio updates?? Will sprint ever release that to everyone? Cuz I'm kinda scared to root. I rooted my htc evo but it seems a lot more difficult these days.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I just flashed the JB radios and stock rooted ROM and I noticed my signals had a dramatic spike in quality. As far as being nervous to root I'd say you're more than capable. Prior to my LGOG I also had the EVO 4G like you. I've rooted both and flashed multiple ROMs. By no means am I a wizard with the gadgets, but I'm fairly tech-savvy. Since you are in these threads I'd bet you and I are pretty similar so if I didn't have much difficulty I am suspecting you won't be very troubled either. Good luck!
Sounds like I need to root this bad boy then. Also thanks for your reply. Could someone post a good link with step by step instructions for rooting. My htc evo I ran that baby into the ground by flashing different Roms. Lol

[GUIDE] 3-13-13- ROOT, UNLOCK- zvb/jb, zv9, zv8, zv7

Sprint LG G2 no love?

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?
I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).
Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.
I ain't skeeerid

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD

Gunshy after 2 bricked phones

Really want to flash some of these newer asop roms but i am gunshy after bricking 2 Htc one's after installing CM 10.2 and Carbon Rom on phone #2.
I frequently flashed tons of roms on my gs3 and gs4 and never had a brick i couldn't recover from.
Can someone give me some reassurance that its ok to try asop roms again? Really itching to flash them again!
Thanks in advance for any advice.

how are you brcking them? i'm not trying to be a ****, but it sounds like it's more you than the roms or devices.
First one i was fiddling with dsp manager on cm10.2 and the phone cut off in the middle of a song. 2nd time is more my fault
I messed with transition settimgs and sweep to wake kernal settings on carbon rom. The phone overheated and the speakers and data were broken.
I havent done anything i hadn't done on my s3 or s4. Maybe this phone is more delicate? Maybe it was the asop roms? Maybe i have terrible luck? Im kinda stumped.

as far as i'm aware, and somebody please correct me if i'm wrong, but AOSP doesn't play perfectly well htc phones. that's why officially there's GPE vs AOSP.
but, as long as you can get back your bootloader you'll be fine on trying AOSP.
right now you can try santod's tiktak 4.4 rom. it works amazingly well and uses 4.4's launcher and lock screen so you get more or less the AOSP/GPE experience.
You have to be careful running ROMs not meant for the phone, meaning AOSP ROMs, MIUI, ect.. anything not HTC Sense.
That's the beauty of S-OFF as well.
We luckily have an RUU for S-OFF users if you do want to dig into AOSP ROMs, some.. not all are bound to have issues, such as data, when returning back to HTC ROMs. Flash the RUU and problem will be solved.
You need to be careful running custom ROMs that run anything but stock kernel also. Custom kernels can over heat, every phone is different.
I flashed between sense and CM10.2 with zero problems. And I did it frequently. I liked both so much I could never decide. Have settled on sense........for now.

Always check the md5 signature of your downloaded ROM before flashing in recovery, to make sure you dont have a bad download.
Also, sometimes what may seem to be a bricked phone can be recovered by using the RUU to put everything back stock. If you can get to your phone's boot loader screen by turning on with power plus volume down, you probably aren't hard bricked.
If you are worried about changing system settings that result in boot loops, try keeping a stable nandroid backup on your phone that you can revert to if anything goes wrong.

Thanks! The first brick was completely dead after cm10.2 flash 10.16 nightly. I read later that that nightly had problems with dsp, which i was fiddling with when it bricked. Maybe the dsp issue will never happen again i dunno.
2nd brick was on carbon rom after i messed with kernal settings (swipe to wake). Did the ruu but it didn't bring back speakers or data. Maybe i need to stay away from kernal settings period. Thx for the advice!

Yeah, like many others like Andy have said, anything AOSP is a bit riskier because it isn't the original. For me I always stick to sense based roms, and I've never had a problem

KK 4.4.2 Issues

Kinda made this to be a catch-all KK issue thread.
I've been on this forum for many years and would you believe my post count <10. Anyways....
I have flashed the Liquidsmooth LS-KK-v3.0-2014-03-18 with the dr87 kernel. Great ROM. Quick. Speedy. Best battery life I've ever had on a smartphone.
Having issues with random reboots also with A2DP. I know A2DP hasn't been right for a long time. Also having issues with the updater nagging about a new update even though I'm on the latest release. The download usually fails a MD5 check anyways.
Thoughts?
yea im on AOKP 4.4.2 for about 3 weeks now. since its my favorite rom. Anyways i have experienced random reboots and poor data connections.
This has been discussed for months. All AOSP 4.4 ROMs suffer from random reboots/freezes, poor sound quality, etc. It's the kernel, once devs incorporate the new LG KK kernel source, these issues should be fixed. Before that though, Sprint has to release the damn update.
Patience, grasshoppers. It will all be well soon enough. :good:
Source DROP!
It's here, it's here... well the source at least!

I've been running this rom [ROM] [VECTUS] GN5 Project AOSP [V0.0] 4.4.2 (03-22-2014) since release and it doesn't have any of the problems they you've mentioned. The only thing that has occurred is the screen randomly turning on. no freezing, reboots, or lockups.

CM/AOKP/AOSPA kernel source will usually vary from "stock" source that LG provides for various reasons. Changes are more fluid on those AOSP projects as they're keeping up usually with sources like CAF.
I tried with Furnace kernel and with the exception of losing data after trying to tether it was great. So your mileage may vary.

I've found my bluetooth button that used to activate voice mate now does nothing. Seems to be an issue with Nexus phones as well read? I'm on stock 4.4.2.
I've also noticed wifi seems flaky and I have to toggle it to get internet working after it seems to hang.

My data connection on 3g is slower than dial up no matter where I am, battery life is not that amazing either. Also the sound is very low, like I am still running an aosp rom. Music player in lockscreen is not full screen like it was on kk roms before. Not super impressed honestly.

He seemed like he really didn't know what to do. He got it working again but I had frequent data drops and battery sucked. Kit Kat didn't fix any of these problems after resets. I finally two nights ago used the tot on my own and now battery is phenomenal. I got 6 hours sot yesterday. Only problem I'm having now is that I don't use Bluetooth and its off. It's my number one battery hog. Any suggestions? I thought the info about the tot might be helpful for those with battery issues where factory reset hasn't helped.

Mokee has been quietly making lollipop roms without us knowing this whole time. It is so fast, I had to go back to stock kitkat. I had to install cwm touch then install mokee RELEASE (not nightly) you can ota update later. Then install gapps, I installed stock. I swear, this is amazing. Give it a chance. I promise it will impress you! My have MTP issues.

The 2nd snapshot of CM12.1 (10/7) is rock solid. Since they released the first snapshot, I haven't even messed with the nightly game. Works so well it finally got me off CM11, which I didn't think would ever happen.
WiFi interferes with bluetooth, and the animations are broken. I'll give it another try though.

The only time Wifi interferes with bluetooth for me is when I'm using Hotspot function (and actually it's the opposite -- the hotspot won't allow anyone to connect to the internet if bluetooth is on), but that's true even on TouchWiz ROMs I've used. Of course, I'm not using the native hotspot on TouchWiz ROMs, so that could be my problem there. Otherwise, I use a bluetooth headset with wifi on all day with no issues. If you try it again, I hope it works for you. I'm pretty happy with it.

Do the broken Netflix, YouTube playback (video loading error), and scrolling bugs still occur on the cm12.1 snapshot? What bugs are there in the snapshot? Thinking about switching from the nightly and doing a fresh install but only if it's worth it.

I haven't encountered a YouTube playback error or any scrolling bug. From what I've read about the scrolling bug, it seems to be an across the board Lollipop issue...??? I've never encountered it, though. I do know that Netflix doesn't work, but that always seems to be the case with Netflix and custom ROMs on whatever phone I own, so I've pretty much given up watching Netflix on my phone...haha.
I just replaced my aging Note 2 yesterday with an unlocked Nexus 6 64GB. Got tired of the whole Samsung update infinite wait thing (we're now two major OS versions behind), as well as didn't want to have go under another 2 year contract with Sprint. It's going to be nice to always be the first to get the updates now (for a change!).
Use freedompop, its free cell service on the sprint network. I have the YouTube issue and all the ones that I had on the nightly, the nightly was a big jump of small bug fixes though.

I'm probably going to end up on Project Fi.
I really enjoyed seeing Lollipop on the Note 2 and it worked really well for me. I always get way too attached to my phones! Haha. First my HTC Evo 4G and then the Note 2. I tend to hold on to them way too long.
can anybody assist me on obtaining a good rom, kernel, and gapps? please? will be greatly appreciated
