Well after being plauged with all kinds of issues on various 5.0.x ROMs I think I'm ready to head back to kk. Everything from Bluetooth issues to dropping calls to message duplicates to no messages to no group MMS and everything in between has occurred on my poor G3. I'm just wondering if there's any issue with downgrading. Right now I'm running a rooted stock 20B.
If anybody has suggestions of a super stable 5.0 ROM I'm all ears but I've tried CM12 (nightlies) which I had the most faith in and then the stock thinking "there's no way this could be messed up". Clean flashed them both multiple times and still having an array of issues.
Sorry for the rant just frustrated right now with a fantastic phone because I had to go and mess with it lol
Cheers
Well anything other than stock is based on CM. So bluetooth is basically useless on those roms if you use a headset for calls. If one rom has an issue than most likely they all will so I generally stay away.
Stock 20b has been just fine for me though. I would suggest a kdz to 20b if your still having issues. Are you using stock messaging because the issues could be with your 3rd party app with texting issues?
Its basically CM, 20b or 10r. If you can't get 20b to work right for you then your best bet is to go back to 10r and be done with it till 20c is released.
I pesonally don't use CM based roms due to the camera and bluetooth. Too many issues with those yet.
I might kdz to 20b and see if that helps. I was reading about that last night. I've tried all messenging apps including stock. No luck. I've messed with the APN settings and then gone back to stock. No luck. Kinda banging my head against a wall here lol. I'll probably kdz tonight when I get home and fingers crossed that'll work. Thanks

I am in the same boat as you. I wanted all the bells and whistles of the CM12 roms but so many problems.
Planning to throw in the towel and get the Note 4.
I am currently on LP xTreme v1.0 and everything works on it so far. (Bluetooth, Wifi calling, Messaging, LTE sticks)
Did have a minor hiccup when sending SMS while connected on Wifi but it hasn't lately.
This will have to do for now until I go back to Samsung, they seem to have a lot of nice roms over there :crying:
Good luck to you.

krowley3 has released his version of LP rom based on stock LP. i have been running his v3.5 (kitkat) since it came out as I see no enhancements and too many issues with LP roms that have been released since. I will probably try his new LP version out in next week or 2 myself. Judging by the past year almost of running his rom...absolutely no issues and the most stable experience I have ever has with a custom rom...
Thanks for the info... Maybe I'll give that a shot before heading back to good ol KK

How Do I Downgrade back to KK??? I need to go back to KK because WiFi Tether Router does not work on LP and I absolutely need it.
I tried in TWRP wipe all / factory reset and restore KK from backup, but my modem DID not work.
What do I do? Please help

Unless you backed up your efs in twrp the modem will stay at lollipop. That is the only way to get back the KK modem. But hopefully others can chime if there is an alternative way that was recently discovered.
just flash the 10r kdz and it will take u back to stock and just re-root.... what i did..

I've been using NH7 with a stock Kit Kat rom but this ****ing TW rom is **** and keeps crashing. All of these outages are costing me. I know I'm going to either revert or switch to a different rom tonight but does anybody know if the modem sucks too?
Modem is probably the best so far , as far as the crashes something is probably borked somewhere , flashing the stock firmware will probably fix your issues.
After flash resist installing any junk apps or games and run phone with stock apps for a while and verify that you have no more issues .
Rooted stock / debloatted is pure and simple with no issues .
That's all I ever run.
Pp.
Thanks for the heads up man. I'm going to switch to a GPE edition rom and see if things get any better.
Hello,
So I've flashed before Slimbean, but had problems with the "can't connect to camera" problem, so I decided to flash Slimkat 4.4.4 which fixed the camera problem.
New problem now is that i can't get any gps signal. I can turn it on, but no signal. Anyone have a solution to this, or is experiencing the same problem?

Hi, the link you provided points to build 4. You can find build 9 which is the latest slimkat here http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1183-d2lte
This is the one I have for my Koodo I747M. *note camera seemed a little buggy in some instances, so I installed open camera. Seemed to work a lot better.
I'll give it a try, thanks for the help. Quick question, will this work on my phone model without bricking? I only tried the at&t not the d2lte.
Also can you send me the link for this open camera you were talking about for my device as well?

I'd imagine it should be ok, since we have the same phone pretty much I'm on koodo which is pretty much telus without the customer service hehe. for kitkat at the end of development they basically lumped a d2att, d2tmo etc together. (this has reverted for the lollipop builds out there).
The last OTA I got was FOB1, so you may want to go to stock to ota to the latest updates from telus. Just so you have the latest bootloader/firmware. But that's up to you of course.
It's a google play app open source, the slimkat one I had seemed to lockup when switching from front to back camera and from camera to video. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
What are you using to flash them?

Im not very experienced lol and got lost on:
"The last OTA I got was FOB1, so you may want to go to stock to ota to the latest updates from telus. Just so you have the latest bootloader/firmware. But that's up to you of course. "
I'm using TWRP
Ah, ok I just keep a backup in case anything goes bad flashing roms. If you use TWRP to flash them it only affects the boot image, data and system. So if you have problems you can restore from backup nice and easy.
I'm swapping between a few right now. So far my only uh oh experience was when I tried to upgrade TWRP, no problems with roms. But I use TWRP as well, works great.
Basically the baseband version on our phone, it's the radio and bootloader. Before I had rooted it I had gotten the latest updates by checking for updates. It downloaded and upgraded to FOB1 (Baseband I747MVLUFOB1), then I rooted and played with flashing. Not sure if you made a backup of your original install before trying another rom. But it's not a necessity for slimkat, I don't believe.

First thing to try for GPS problems is taking off the back cover and snugging up all the little screws around the phone. Sometimes they work their way loose and the GPS antenna seems to be the first thing to suffer from it.
If that doesn't cure it you might need to flash a stock or at least stock based ROM and rebuild the nvram. Here's a link that describes how to do that if you need to.
Someone showed me the thread with the 12.1 cm rom and the .img for the recovery is it okay if I use flashify to put the recovery on my phone instead of using odin after rooting? Or does someone have a .tar recovery for the L520 in a drop box somewhere? also do I need to update my firmware before flashing a rom? I think I'm on firmware na7 on 4.2.2
it's fine, trust me use flashify. Odin doesn't flash .img files. No, you don't need to update your firmware, it's going to be flashed over anyways.
Seemed to work fine. That cm 12.1 rom still working okay for you?
There's a few little annoyances but it's working okay otherwise. I get an exclamation point by my bars sometimes and have to reset the apn to fix it. GPS has some issues so it's become more a roadmap than actual guidance and I can't send mms but that's not really an issue as I have unlimited data and can just facebook messenger as a workaround. I hope that these issues get fixed but I understand that alot of 5.1 roms have issues with the exclamation point thing and even some unrooted 5.1 phones have the problem. It would be nice to see a fix for these issues but I don't see anyone making any more roms for this phone and the guy that made this rom seems to have landed a job with cyanogenmod and is too busy to update this rom. What a shame but at least I have 5.1 now.
Hmm I suppose I'll stay at 4.2.2 till I feel like flashing 12.1 thanks for all the info. You don't have any overheating issues or random restarts right? Also how does the GPS not work well?
No overheating or random restarts. All things considered its a pretty smooth rom if just a little incomplete. I only tried using the GPS once and it came up with my location and the route for where I needed to go but when i was driving along the GLS was not updating my location. It may have been just a one time thing, idk, I havent needed to use GPS since.
Cool do you know a way to go back to stock if I don't like the cm 12.1 rom?
Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone could maybe figure out this issue which has been troubling me for about a month or so.
I have ran marshmellow before absolutely fine however decided to flash lollipop back on my phone as I felt the battery life was better.
Anyway, whenever I come back to any version of the Marshmallow roms, i'm greeted with not being able to set a lockscreen (lockscreen has crashed), I cannot uninstall apps without a force reboot and I cannot access the security settings on the phone without it crashing.
I've tried wiping pretty much everything and it seems to be on all roms. I've tried multiple from fresh.
Any ideas?
Much Appreciated

DO you know if flashing back works on verizon? I loved this phone until MM...
Also any insight on the steps, did you just use LGUP and get the KDZ off Sotragecow?

@zwalk - sorry for the late response. I did exactly that. Seemed to fix everything. I recommend trying 20f or 20g if it works with your phone as it seems to fix battery issues.
Hi there! So, I couldnt find the Cyanogenmod thread, so i figured this place was better than any other.
Anyway, I have an LG G4 H815 on T-Mobile and so recently I downgraded from Cyanogenmod 14 to 13 because I wasnt a fan, and ever since my mobile data has been throwing a fit. If I go back to stock LG MM it at least has some data connection, but its on "E", but if I try and go to any custom ROM it gets pissed and decided it doesnt need data and it doesnt want service half of the time. Any suggestions? Ive been working on it all day and its kinda really super frustrating. Thanks!!

Greetings and welcome to assist. This appears to be the correct thread for CM on your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/general/cm14-t3464339/page10
If you can't find any help there I would reflash a complete stock rom for your device, it souns like modem/apn issue. Returning to the full stock rom for your device should fix any issues
Good Luck

I've already tried flashing stock rom, and it works when I just flash the LG MM, but Cyanogenmod is still broken with a clean reflash. I've played with the apn settings to no avail. How would you reconfigure the modem settings?

AFAIK you can't configure your modem only change it for one from a different firmware. It does sound like a CM bug which is quite common especially on cm14 hopefully they'll fix it soon
