Hello, I've recently bought a LG G3 Korean model F400s . I successfully rooted, install recovery and then went for the latest build of xposed modules.
So, now that I have some "freedom", is it possible to flash an European .kdz on my device?I say European because they are similar on specs apart from the extra ram for the Korean model.
It could also be an US .kdz if it's working...anything but Korean. I would like stock .kdz in any case.
I'm willing to try anything really and not afraid to brick it.
Hi,
No, you can't flash a EU KDZ on your device.
I'll recommended to find a custom Rom suitable for your device.
I think Cloudy had an specific Rom suitable for your device.
Regards
Thanks for your reply. Could you recommend a Rom based on stock heavily. A stock Rom?
CloudyG3, SlickROM, XtraLite
Is it possible to flash one of these and then into it so that I can use my banking app?

Can you explain? Sorry, but your question doesnt make sense..

Apologies, what I meant was can any of the above mentioned roms be installed and then can the rom be unrooted.
The reason I cant have a rooted rom is because my banking app that I regularly use won't run on a rooted device.
I have an F400s and rom updates are few and far between. Their are some niggles with the current official LG rom such as problems with dropped calls, but because it's an F400s I can't exactly ring LG and complain because the phone is an import.
I'd like to run a custom rom that has decent support but I need to be unrooted for my banking app.

Did you try to use Root Cloak to hide root from your banking app?
Otherwise, if you flash the non-rooted ROM you lose root again..
I read some threads a while ago which suggested that the Barclays Mobile Banking rom originally worked with Root Cloak but then didn't answer never versions of the banking app were released.
I might try flashing another Rom and try Root Cloak for myself, but to be honest I don't 'need' root these days to be honest.
Out of the roms mentioned above, is there one in particular which you would recommend?
CloudyG3 is probably the best when starting off as it's the least modified.
SlickROM is the smallest in size so is probably the most optimized.
Though, if you don't care about the camera, BlissPop or Resurrection Remix offer the most customisability & performance..
Thank you for your advice.
Typical though, the thread I'm reading through at the moment isn't one that's on your list. What do you think of XtraLite?
....Under their feature list I'm trying to find out what the 'LTE / 4G Mod' is.
I haven't used it myself..

That doesn't inspire me to use it then. You obviously know a lot more about the current roms than I do hence I'll probably go with Cloudy.
I've rooted and used custom roms from the G1 right up to getting my Nexus 4 but it's just not something I've down with my G3 F400s but I feel like I should having had it for a year now.
Which rom are you running at the moment?
Sent from my LG-F400S using Tapatalk
I think it would be safer to flash Cloudy first, as either XtraLite or SlickROM need a 20P ROM to be flashed first. Can't remember which one tho.
The only downside with Cloudy is that you have to flash the CTT mod after, as its are not built in...
I flashed Cloudy on mine, only received it a week ago via Aliexpress, and it's going great, but will probably try both XtraLite & SlickROM in the next few weeks to check the differences
Happy flashing
I flashed both XtraLite & SlickROM, and must say I prefer XtraLite.
The DPI fits better

Hi,
I’m waiting for my LG G Pad 8.3 (still in the mail, should be here by the end of the week!!!) and I have a few questions about it. I plan to root it but I would like to know a few things before doing this as I’m not an expert with “rooting devices”…
1) If I root the device but not install any custom ROM or custom Recovery, will I still receive the automatic OTA update from LG? Of what I understood, if you don’t modify any “system” files, install custom ROM or Recovery, you should be able to get OTA update?
2) If I decide to install a custom ROM/Recovery and then want to go back to the stock ROM, Is it available for download? I checked (quickly) on the forum and I didn't see any link to download it (stock ROM from LG).
Thanks in advance!

1)you probably can not update ota on stock rooted fw. I had asked the same question to the developer of the root method for our devices and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

Thanks for your reply! If the update from LG will be available for download so I can flash it, this work with me! I might not keep the stock ROM too... I never had an android device from LG so I'm not sure how it look like... If there is too much bloatware (like Samsung), I won't keep it.

Just to make sure... Stock Kernel = Stock ROM? So the "LG G Pad Sock Kernel.img" is the latest version of the stock ROM from LG?

There is too much bloatware in this tablet just like the Samsung ones. In my opinion the stock rom is worthy if you want maximum stability or you need the lg apps.
No, kernel with rom are different things, google rom vs kernel. The stock kernel is for people who have flashed custom kernels and want to revert back to stock. If you look in the original android development section of these forums you ll see that there are 2 custom kernels and more custom roms available for our tablet atm.

Thanks for the info! I'm not very familiar with this but I'm getting there! I'm reading related post/subject (rooting device) on the xda-developers forum so this help me a lot! I should receive my tablet tomorrow or Thursday so I'll test/inspect it to make sure everything is ok with it and than try to root it.
Did you root yours? Are you using a custom ROM on it?

I had rooted it when dalingrin released the adb root method as I couldn't trust the kingo root method. Adaway and titanium backup are some of the top apps but these apps need root. Also you won't be able to move apps or games to SD without root. I flashed cyanogen mod 11 some days ago and I'm totally satisfied with it. The gpad became faster, with more ram available and with less battery consumption.

I'll use the root method of dalingrin then! I installed CM on my old device and I liked it so I might test it on my G Pad! There is no big issues with it? I know that it still in "Nightlies status so it might not be "stable". I'm looking forward to receive my G Pad!

CM runs stable on G Pad as of now. Very few features are lacking and you can check the CM thread nad if you have half an hour to spare you can go through the change log as well.
For the love of God, do not mistake a rom for a kernel. And remember that a kernel is usually made for a specific ROM. Kernels will improve performance on specific ROM's.. And enable new features under the hood and so on. But if you install a stock kernel onto a CM rom, it would be like filling a car with the wrong fuel and it would most likely get stuck in bootloop until you reflash a compatible kernel. - As stated above there are 2 custom kernels, one is ported for a few of the custom roms.. The other one as far as I know is pretty empty atm. and is aiming at becoming Play Edition-"like", I don't remember for what ROM. On certain mainstream devices you will find many a kernel and usually something that will suit your needs. Perhaps this will happen with the G Pad at some point.
Good luck on your rooting adventures and feel free to ask anything if you hit a wall at some point.
I received my G Pad yesterday! I rooted it by using the “dalingrin” method, installed TWRP and then CM11 (the stock ROM had too much bloatware for me!). Everything worked without any issue so now I can enjoy my new toys! I was hesitating between the Nexus 7 and the G Pad and I’m very happy that I chose the G Pad!
Thanks again for your replies/help guys!

I told you that it has too much bloatware, you did the right thing! I was also balancing between nexus 7 fhd and gpad and i picked the gpad for its 8.3" screen.
I am new to android. I got the g3 after having many apple products. So far i love it. I have it rooted and am wondering if there are any custom roms. I have done a lot if reading but cant tell if my version has any stable roms yet. It is att d850. Also, what else should i do now that im rooted. I have tweaksbox and xposed installer. What else? Thanks.

First and foremost, go to the at&t thread for the g3. There you will be able to see if there are any stable roms for your variant. Also you will find the thread for bump! Which will give you a custom recovery in order to flash roms.

as yet no roms. twrp recovery via bump'd is available as are several mods ( blacked out system/dialer/contacts) available. some mods aren't actually made for our variant (d850) but work. with twrp i have been able to completely wipe my phone and then be rooted/bump'd and had my system restored to my liking in close to half the time as without custom recovery. progress is happening ::good::

As long as you have tweaksbox and xposed .. you can change many things without flashing a rom Just enjoy your device and get used to the phone You can check out this to change your icons and status bar signals.. It has beautiful icons and also check out Unicon from the PlayStore if you have any issues using those gorgeous icons :good:
I need some stock 4.1.2 stock debloated rom for E980 from AT&T, I'm tired of dealing with the bugs on KK roms, all kk roms for the ATT E980 sucks!!!!
I've searched the forum for some 4.1.2 stock debloated rom and I can not find it.
Thanks for any help!!!
Saying that all kk roms for this phone suck is really a big insult to the developers here. I understand its your opinion but perhaps if you were a little less aggresive you might get a response for what you're looking for.

Why not just flash the stock 4.1.2 rom of your choice, then root, and debloat it yourself from there?

I have not seen a true optimus g pro debloated rom. Which is sad, many devs kill themselves trying to get g3 or other custom ROM working well but no one cleans up & optimises the stock rom for there to be one "clean" & stable rom for all users..... Not even sure if there is one on the viet site.

Hmmm.. that would be nice, to have a clean shaven build--one that it available in TOT and/or KDZ. A fresh, stable base would be nifty for sure. I know I get annoyed at having to flash the goshdarn ATT stock roms. They are soo bloated and annoying. I suppose a thing worth doing, is worth doing mydamnself. A project, hooray!

Hey Guys,
Hope you guys and gals are doing well. I wanted to know if there is rom for LG G2 (LS980) the latest build without the sprint bloatware? The current rom installed is "ZVD" but the knock code doesn't work and the software update option is missing. I got this from a friend and I am guessing he didn't flash it properly.
so I want to know the following things:
1. Can someone or has someone worked on the ZVE rom and removed the Sprint bloatware, If yes can someone please share it?
2. Is it possible to flash a D802 rom over LS980? I know noob question but still
3. I am not in USA so if I flash the rom to ZVC will I have carrier restriction? and would I be able to update it OTA to ZVD ? even if I am not in USA?
and lastly
4. Could you guys recommend a good rom which is less bloated with custom stuff and nearer to the stock international version of the phone providing the G2 experience as it should be?
Thanks.
Try cloudyfa's ROM. It will keep you with everything you need. Do not flash a d802 ROM. You will destroy your device. You can unlock it to work. Cloudyfa's ROM will allow you to use it international as you are.
...or you can just root with StumpRoot, install Titanium Backup and debloat (frost/defrost) yourself. I've always been of the opinion that the best ROM is always a stock rooted ROM. That's just my opinion/experience, no offense to any of the custom ROMs out there.
My G2 LS980 is on ZVE, i rooted with StumpRoot and froze what i considered unnecessary with Titanium Backup. Works for me just fine.
Nice to see you still around lord lugard.
Always be careful so as to not stop something that might be necessary as you can break yourself.
So very true.

but there are plenty other option (you can flesh it as E988. I have E986 and it work)

Bump.
Anyone still active with this phone can recommend a kitkat rom or the most stable rom? i own a E986
I'm on stock 4.1, rooted and CWM by feegee
There is official kitkat 4.4.1. File name E98620A_00.kdz search on google or here. As for custom rom kitkat if I remember cyanogenmod had serious problem with camera that stop working after one use and you need to find a way around this problem for example app that reset camera after every use. But where to find Cyanogenmod after official servers were shoot down? I have no idea. Different roms I didn't test.

I'm using SEUX v2 ROM. Here is a link to where I found it. Someone else shared it in another ROM thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/op...om-ux-5-0-gpro-variants-t3351116/post67799171
Overall I really like it and I have been using it for about a week now and have had virtually no issues. I paired it with Xposed and G3 Tweaksbox and it is great. To prevent the system from saying root is detected I also installed RootCloak (Xposed module) and that stopped it from saying it (if you try the ROM you will eventually know what I am referring to here.).

Try flashing back to stock and then reroot it again and install a custom ROM. As for the battery, you may have gotten a cheap knockoff version. Try to get a zerolemon battery for it.
