Is anyone else experiencing an extremely muffled in call mic with CM roms? I have tried several different CM/CM based roms and all are doing the same thing. Both 4.3 and 4.4 roms. Wife started complaining that she couldn't hear me soon after I flashed a CM rom, so I left myself a voicemail, flashed back to a stock based rom, and left another voicemail. Difference is night and day. I have tried reflashing the stock radio over top of the CM flash, but no noticeable difference.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have any ideas on how to fix? This is very annoying, but not enough to make me give up Kit Kat. I usually just talk louder into the phone.
Are you on T-Mobile?

It's a known issue with no fix in sight. What's worse is using the speakerphone. There's a huge amount of ocho.
After struggling with this device for some weeks, I finally sold it, and honestly, do regret that. Even with stock ROM, it was a great value for the money, but I'm sorta hoping for something similar in the future.
IF the LGOG Pro had an unlocked bootloader and was as fully supported and functional as other devices by CM/AOSP, it would probably have been the last device I ever bought until it literally could not power on anymore.
It's such a shame that LG has abandoned it the way that they have, but if you've ever wondered why LG is getting their ass handed to them in the smartphone market by Samdung, this lazy attitude toward supporting fantastic hardware is a good example to illustrate why.
Their solution is to simply leave the market and put their focus elsewhere.
So sad.
Where's the company that understands how powerfully they could position themselves in the market by being friendly with the Open Source community?
They don't exist.
Hello!
I rooted a Samsung GS3 a few years ago and loved the features that Cyanogenmod brought to the phone. However, it brought several issues to the phone...checking voicemail on Verizon was an issue. It also seemed like the actual phone functionality of the phone suffered quite a bit, but I couldn't reason why. I had some other friends do this on their phones and they noticed the same thing.
If I root my LG G3, will I have issues trying to get Verizon voicemail? Will making calls and finding towers suffer like it did on the GS3? Just wondering! I'd really like to switch to a custom ROM due to all the crappy bloatware that is on my LG G3, it's killing my battery! It's so freaking annoying...just wondering!
Thanks from a rooting noob!

Herro!? Anyone home??
Advice Please:
I have a G3 with PacMan ROM and it's freaking sweet. However, my infrared/camera (which I use hundreds of times/day for work) is not working when I shoot certain types of materials (works on leather, blurs on cloth now). I was planning on just waiting to get the G4 when more ROMs were out. However, now I'm rushed to pull the trigger. So here's my question:
I want to not activate my G4, but use it for work over wi-fi and continue to use my G3 for everything else (calls/texts). Since I had to order my G4 to get more GB, the Verizon rep is telling me that I can have the G4 and keep my service on the G3. However, they will need to 1) Activate the G4/Deactivate G3, 2) Deactivate G4/Reactivate G3. Will I have any problems reactivating my G3 since it's rooted and ROMmed? Will this cause any problems with Verizon? Will they even notice?
Also, If I'm able to do this... Can I go ahead and root/Rom the inactivated G4 and activate it once a satisfactory ROM is out (and installed on it)?
I know this is complex and doesn't do many people much good, so MANY THANKS to whoever lends a hand!!!!!
I hate being in this predicament... If only we lived in a world where all the ROMs were available to all carriers within the first month of release... if only... LOL

Yes, you can activate the G4 and go back to the G3, even with root. When you activate the G4 make sure you go through the setup process before you pull the Sim and install the Sim back into the g3. Wifi will work on the G4 without the Sim at that point. Done it many times.

I'll second this... As I just did it lol. I bought my G4 back in October and used it for a week then went back to my G3 while waiting for some more development to happen. I'm back on the 4 now. Jumping back and forth works fine.

I juump from ZTE Moto E prepaid G3 and the G4. works fine with a good standing sim.
Thanks so much for the help!
To push it a step further... Could I Root/Rom the new G4, and then return it back to Verizon in my 2 week trial period without any alarms going off? Would I just need to un-root and flash stock Rom before returning?
The guys at the Verizon store are so oblivious to android development that I wouldn't be surprised if they took a rommed and rooted G4 back without realizing it!
Unfortunately I don't think we have any roms for our verizon g4 and most likely will never have more than stock based unless someone unlocks the boot loader or comes up with another bump and I think they've about given up trying which really sucks cuz I have 2 of then lol

Grim news...
I'm stuck with Verizon since I use a company phone. What's the best Verizon phone that has sufficient ROM options?

Well I put it like this, I have 2 g4's and 2 days ago traded one for a g3 vs985 and I'm still in utter shock at how much this g3 blows those g4 outta the water in every single aspect and I've tested this thing balls out non stop and I hated lollipop and marshmallow until now that I'm running resurrection remix 6.0.1..rooting and custom recovery were a single click each and all I had to do was flash a 35b bootstack and modem to get mm running. I can't stress highly enough how much you'll regret getting rid of the g3 cuz there isn't very much to advance to with Verizon for a modder like us. The way they lock down their phones is just evil and the g3 is a rare miracle for a Verizon device. Have you done a lot of flashing yet on your g3?

That's what I was afraid of, thanks for confirming my suspicions! I have been using the PACMAN ROM for over a year now! Which ROMS do you recommend? Also note: I'm just good enough to root and flash. I've never messed with kernels or anything else.
I've run into a few quirks with my PACMAN ROM, nothing serious though (except for my camera not focusing as well anymore). Maybe a new ROM is just the change I need!
THANKS

Man on the g3 there's more Roms than I can begin to find a good start, hell I just started going down the list on Android File Host just search vs985 and there's over 400 files to start with. A good tip is to get a copy of each Android version's bootstack, modem, and kernal zips on XDA or you'll get updater script errors from the base band being off. Most likely you'll only have to stick with the latest version cuz most people go up in Android versions, not me I'm all over the place and still consider JB and kk the best and my personal favorite. But the Dirty Unicorns mm rom has really stepped up and cool as hell , especially the unique nav bar. If you run into problems finding the right bootstacks PM me and I'll hook you up

Oh yea a new ROM changes everything but unfortunately I doubt the Verizon g4 will ever have much ROM action and I'd burn my g4 before I would my g3 without hesitation lol

Hi there.
So I have an optimus G as my backup phone to my V20. But, my V20 is being a massive pain in the **** right now and I'm not going to be able to mend it unless either A: the root comes out or B: LG stops being retarded.
Neither oof these are going to happen any time soon, or at least till august, so I am going to swap to my rooted and unlocked Optimus G for a while. Yeah the decrease in storage will hurt, but nothing I can't live with as it is.
Now, Android 7, at least, runs on this thing perfectly fine. There was a port of Oxygen for the G3 and G4, and someone at some point tried to port it to the Optimus G with limited success. Mostly its just that the radio's aren't configured correctly. But, I want Lineage. I don't really know where to start with porting Lineage other than trying to blindly follow documentation. Is there anywhere I can go to start learning HOW to port it? I'm only going to use the phone for 2 or 3 months, sure, but being off kit kat would be nice. And 5 does NOT run nicely on the phone at all. It lags and crashes constantly. 7, however, runs like you would think its a brand new phone.
So, any help is nice.
Thank you!
