Hi!
I would like to start experimenting with my Xperia S (currently with the latest stock ROM). I rooted the smartphone, made backup of the DRM keys and unlocked the bootloader. I would like to have, just in case, the stock kernel of the Xperia. Is anyone who can share it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

First, know your model variant. Then go over the CM thread in the Dev section and follow the instructions
Note that using AOSP on the G3 will remove some stock features (4k recording, stock cam app, LG weather).

Probably have to downgrade to an earlier version of android, then:
-root
-install custom recovery
-make a full backup just in case
-flash desired ROM using custom recovery

Thanks. I bought the phone from a canadian carrier Fido
It currently runs on 4.4.2, do I still have to downgrade?

Probably depends on your build number. Post a screenshot of your "About Phone" section. It should say your model number, android version, build number, etc.
I can help you through each step if you need it.
4.4.2 is the manufacturer Kit Kat build. You will not need to downgrade.

Thanks, but before I root and flash. Is it true I will miss out on the double tap feature for screen on? and no 4k video recording on cm build correct?

Double tap feature still works on CM12. Double tap status bar to turn off screen and double tap to turn on the screen. However, there is no knockcode. Plus, 4k recording is removed, but honestly, who actually uses their phone to record in 4k?
Also, if you have a QuickCircle case there is a mod that will still allow it to work.

anyone can help out with rooting and unlocking bootloader?

Lolipop 5.0.1
thanks.
I've seen people successfully rooting G3 G2 Gpro2...ect. on stock lollipop, but still haven't seen anyone rooting Gpro 240 stock lollipop.
IS it very different than other LG phones?
Obviously someone has done it, since there are Custom roms with root. It would be awesome if someone could show a method.:good::good::good:

Work on a G4 because it's from the G2 forum?
It's only an icons pack or it's the launcher?
Any way to install UX5.0 on G4?
And what about this one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/bl-lock-ul-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3459260
Thanks for your answer!
Do you only need a theme? not a custom UX 5.0 rom....
So something like this then : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1oLfe5yO0TASk1KSmRxdjhnd00/view?usp=sharing

That one is actually a non-rooted rom. The way it works is like flashing a normal LG TOT, just u must be on the version it requires first.
Just watch the tutorials there (and yes, there are) and try to understand what your supposed to do according to that.
Its a full G5 theme, rootless.
Also you wont be voiding your warranty cause you didnt do anything that "ruins" the warranty according to the actual warranty files

OK, i don't want to root my phone anyway so that woukd be great, i prefer keep my warrantly safe & don't do anything that could "ruin" it!
But i'm not sure about "flashing a normal LG TOT" , what that mean?
When u talk about the version, it is v20a, v20c, etc ??
Do you know if it stable to use it?
And if i have any issue with this rom can i restore my phone to factory settings like i have right now?
Thanks for your help

So first thing, u need to be on version v20J, but it can be on any H815 variant.
Second of all, when i meant that its like any other TOT flash, you pretty much flash it in the same tool u flash V20J on, just you upgrade and not refurbish.
There is a tutorial in that thread, it may explain it better
And you do know how to use LG Flash Tool, right?
It`s just like installing a normal app and you can uninstall if you dont like and yes it does change the icons and also you get the G5 wallpapers. After you install it go into menu and then just change it under home screen (themes) then you will also get a preview before you apply it... :good:

Does it have the appdrawer with this thème?
Where did u found that thème link? On xda or somewhere else?
I didn't find it on the forum!
No, then you will have to get a custom rom that has ported the UX 5.0 , not just the visuals like this theme does...
I dont remember where I found it, its been a while since I downloaded it after searching both Xda and Google for new themes for the G4 as I tought the themes available in LG "store" was boring and more suitable for "kids" ..... So I searched around and found a bunch of different themes I liked and saved them
But just try it and You will see if you like it or not....... , it is easy to uninstall and will not do any "harm" to your phone :fingers-crossed:
But if You really want do customise your phone, I suggest You read up on the different ways to do it here on Xda , there are guides and descriptions of everything You need to know :good:

If you have any of the H815 variants (L/P/T/International [which means nothing after the H815] and etc) you shouldnt have an issue with the rollback. This isnt like with the carrier variants that block it.
Just make sure when you roleback on LG Flash Tool to click Refurbish on the KDZ, and not UPGRADE. I've made that mistake once = it equals soft brick, even though its MUCH easier to unbrick a non-rooted soft brick.
