Rooted OK! What next?? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i succesfully rooted my LG G3. The main reason for doing this is because i was back able to write to SD card with many apps. Now that is ok. But i wonderd what else i can do since i am rooted now. I am actually happy with stock ROM but i would like to get rid of all that bloatware. What do you guys recommend. Delete all apps i don't need or flash new ROM without bloatware. I read that with many ROM's we lose the quality of the camera. Let me say that i use the camera on my LG G3 ALOT! So i don't wanna lose quality on the camera. Should i stay then with stock ROM?
thanks

camera quality problems exist in non stock based roms (cm12 based) don't worry about it in stock based roms.

After rooting my stock rom I usually install Titanium Backup and remove the programs I don't use. Then I install Startup Manager and take control on what starts up with android.

Do you guys install TWRP custom recovery?

Installing a custom recovery like TWRP is good for a rooted device . It is necessary for installing a custom rom. The easiest way to insatll TWRP is by using autorec app from playstore. You just have to download the app for your device and open it.
Titanium backup or ROM toolbox are good apps for a rooted phone and both of them will allow you to remove bloatware.

Ok thanks will look at it

Looking for a simple vanilla rom

Ive rooted my phone, and now would like tto put back on the same rom that came with the phone, but keep root. Is that possible? if so which rom is it?
Thx
you can only ever install a rooted rom, if you do not then you will lose your root.
so if you install your unrooted stock rom then yes you will lose your root.
the stock rooted rom is the generic htc rom, it would be the rom that came with the phone only with root access.
yeh i know thats y im using modaco, but i wondering if there was a clean rom based off the main one?
modaco custom rom, i think its at r3.1
a cleaned up and improved version of the generic htc rom, currently using it now and is flawless
you can find it in the development section
have a problem where my widgets dont add themselves to the widget screen using that rom for some reason
thats definitely not a common issue with the rom
make sure you wipe cache/data before installing the rom
Unroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710092&postcount=4, near the end or the video tutorial at the end of the first post)
Then just follow the normal steps for root access, without flashing a new ROM once you're done.
Hey john does that still give me root access for apps such as titanium etc?

[Q] install a custom rom on a rooted rom

Hi guys. Gmaster here. First of all im using a rooted rom (not stock) and i want to replace it with a custom one. Im want to use mobile odin but im wondering if something might go wrong like root being removed during a process that requires root. I would use odin on my computer but my antivirus is...you get the point. But do i want a stock rooted one or will my other rom do it. Please tell me if it can do it or not (even if there is a soft/fixable bricking possiblility) if its hard brick possibility then i do want to know. Any answer that helps will get thanks off me.

As what you said, you are using "not stock" rom, so I assumed you did install a custom ROM in the past and it was successful. But why don't you follow the same way you did?
Alternatively, you can use adbshell to install CWM and then flash a custom ROM or zip through it.
There is Stock ROM and there is Costume ROM - bothe can be rooted or not (Coustume one almost always are).
Stock means: the original ROM from the manufactre (Samsung, HTC etc...).
you can learn more on how to back up your apps (titanium) and current ROM (CWM Recovery), and flashing a new rom from the forum threads.
I know guys but if i install a non root rom then wont cwm stop working?

My experience flashing non root stock room with cwm, the non root stock room became rooted stock rom by itself

Just the answer i need. Tnx. Just to make sure: my new custom rom will not effect cmw nor loose root access to finish it.

From stock 5.0 to a custom rom ?

Hello guys, i was wondering since I've made the 5.0 update (european) if it was possible for me to flash a custom rom like cyanogen without root (because root isn't an option since llp) ?

After flashing a ROM, flash SuperSu 2.4 to get root.

But how do I flash without root ?
It's noobish question, i can't get to recovery, I've tried with the Power and vol down keys, all i can get is a menu to erase my data, thats it.
Firsh backup your data. Then go back to EU stock ROM:
here are the stock ROMs: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2F
how to go back to your stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Now you can root your LG G3, use TWRP/CWM custom recovery and flash custom ROM.

Two options:
1) flash back to stock 4.1.2, root and install cwm via freegee
2) install gpro_recovery.apk from forums, flash recovery from there, update that dinosaur (I think it's 6.0.4.4) to something newer (Philz, which is slightly newer or latest TWRP available) and profit.
Thanks again shadi
But u mean to flash the gpro recovery using odin? (The old familiar way)?
Odin is for Samsung devices Which option confuses you?
I cant access the recovery mode so how can i flash the gprorecovery?
You download an APK called GPRO recovery, install it, and flash from there. After that, update recovery and enjoy.
To be honest with you, better option is to return back to Jellybean and start from there, possible less problems (wakelocks, deep sleep, battery drains etc.)
I did what ShadySquirrel said myself, It took a lot of looking and reading. Used the LG flash tool to go back to 4.1.2 then used I believe easy universal root where you connect the phone to the pc with charge only chosen under pc connections, then on the pc you run the bat file and it tells you what to do and roots the phone, checked root with a root checker app then used FreeGee to install cwm and twrp. So far so good. Good luck like I said it took a lot of reading.
Many thanks again for both of you...

shady i have an inquiry, do you recommend to go back to jellybean and then update the phone through the air? OTA update? or you mean to go back to JB and then start rooting and installing recovery?
as i understood from what you recommend is to go back to JB and then root and install recovery, but you mean to stay on JB??? and if not what i will get from returning back to JB, root and install recovery as im going to upgrade again to KK?

Depending on what you plan to do.
If you want to use any non-stock based ROM out there (CM, Bliss, Slim etc.) it's better to return back to stock 4.1.2, root, flash recovery (Freegee + new TWRP after that) and start flashing. This way, you have great chances to avoid random wakelocks, problems etc. , which are typical for moving from stock 4.4.2 to any other ROM.
If you want to keep using stock ROM, well, you're in a problem because freegee doesn't support Kitkat, so you'll have to root, install GPRO_recovery.apk, flash it's recovery and then try flashing recovery from freegee or try flashing new twrp. If you want to stay on stock 4.1.2, then it's the previous cycle (root, Freegee, twrp update) and that's it.
If you decide to use stock roms, DON'T install OTAs, you'll get a soft brick because of custom recovery.

Need stock lollipop rom for rooted T800

I want to install a stock lollipop rom that has nothing changed because I may have deleted some system apks that are needed for the Default App manager to work. I want to get everything back to normal as possible and then reinstall a custom rom. I am rooted and have twrp installed. I do not want to lose rooted or twrp if possible.
