Oh yea. Actually started with the original Google Nexus One way back in the day. So tempted to pull the trigger on the new Pixel 4 XL. But $43 a month for the next two years is not something I look forward too. lol

I don't. But only thing left is My Verizon, Voicemail, Youtube, Maps, LG Health, Google Photos, Google Music, Google Pay, Gmail, and basic apps. Got rid of all the bloat junk though like Facebook that nobody in their right might uses anymore if you value your privacy.
Your room is real smooth. Thanks for this!
I too remember you from G2

Hi, whats the difference in between your and this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-lg-v30-joan-vs996-verizon-30c-t3974139
your download size is bigger than his stock rom
Would there be any way to enable native tethering on this rom?

Hi, I got strange issue, everything works fine, but when I'm trying to send the text it won't go , look at the picture I tried over Wi-Fi, and data. I can receive it but I couldn't and I'm running on your latest build. Any help?

Make a phone call, then see if texting works? I'm not joking. That's a workaround for wonky Verizon service.
On AOSP ROMS every time users reboot they have to make a phone call for texting to work. Don't know why you would need to do this on stock firmware, but give it a shot.
Also try toggling on/off airplane mode.

In my experience, the issues on Verizon regarding texts deals only with not *receiving* texts before making/receiving a call. I've never had issues with sending texts.
Side note: Facebook messenger seems to also play a roll in this...but it doesn't look like you're using it so idk.

No FB at all, turning on/off flight mode didn't do anything, neither calling someone. Still stuck with no sending text. I might try another ROM to see if I can fix it.

It didn't work, so I called the Verizon support and tech told me he has to refresh the 4g data signals servers once he does it that, it started to work, and I was able to send the text, but if I get disconnected due to connecting to Wi-Fi, restarting the phone then texting will stop again and I have to call them to refresh the server.
I'm on pie do you think going back to Oreo should have fix this issues?
I use US Mobile (Verizon MVNO). Will this ROM allow me to use tethering without having to sign in through My Verizon? Or is there some way to disable that verification step?
I used this debloated rom for a couple of days. I thought it ran very well. But, because I need the Hotspot functionality that the US99830b twrp version has, I had to go back to that rom. Thx, for it.
You might want to see if the old hack to disable the subscription check works on the VZW rom.
* Open "build.prop" in the system folder.
* Look for or add at the bottom
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
* Reboot and see if you can enable hotspot/tether without a subscription check.

Thanks for the tip, that worked great for me! Now I can continue to be lazy and stay on VS996 (even though I'm not on VZ directly anymore - I'm on TotalWireless).
Note of clarification - I used FX file manager and FX text edit for this, and the build.prop was located in System/system (not at the root of "system")... in case anyone couldn't find it.

Does the md5 match?
Listed right below the download link:
MD5: bc5b479c92c59d9ee0c6b22e45dcee19
If it matches, then it's not corrupt. There are free md5 tools to download to generate the md5 number and match against the one listed by the dev.
Long explanation guys but I'm using some old tech! Kind of a combo of Droid Turbo, Laptop, and trying to get a new V30 up and running since my little boy slobbered into the charge port of my last one (and dropped it numerous times) and finally my touch screen quit.
I tried checking the MD5 a few times on the old Droid Turbo (which I used to download the zip) but the poor bastard is so wore out that it was having issues with various apps and the size of the zip I think. Story short, I downloaded the Debloat zip from a different mirror and flashed it again and bam! Working awesome. Thanks to all for your awesome work and even more awesome help.
I have a dilemma I would like to ask everyone their opinion on but I will start a new thread. I am looking for native tether solutions for the VS996 rom on the V30 because as @ChazzMatt has pointed out, Volte is going to be needed by the end of the year and US998 won't work correct? And I absolutely need tethering, am still on grandfathered unlimited data.

Hoy hoy, my point and goal in this post is to get an answer for my question here. As well as a quick result to a Google search for anyone looking.
Text now is selling a galaxy s 3 for 99$. I had the T 999 model for T-Mobile and had good luck. But I know all too well the hazards of root.
So according to the info here, in the attached photos would I be in the right place. Also text now runs all the calling and texting thru data 4Glte so data is gone at 2Gb at that point there its all gotta be WiFi. Yam

You're in the right place
Im unsure if I will be able to use the native dialer. The stock Rom from this carrier always routes the calls thru the text now app. I have the bars for tower signal but it seems I won't be able to make calls unless I've a data connection, which will shut off completely once the allowed data is used. Then only works on wifi.
Am I doing something wrong or am I stuck with volte voice over lte?
And will this be changed during flash.
Any known hazards?

That you have modified the system
Okay well that makes sense because the phone number in settings and about phone is different than the phone number in text now and text now has rerouted any dials even from the native dialer over to their app to make calls. I wonder if I flash different ROM that has a native dialer allowed that I would call from the number in settings?
This root and flash will be very interesting I wonder what will happen I will definitely be posting the outcome.
I'll try and flash is stable rom and hope for the best

I went ahead and flashed an older Rom from 2013 the APN was not working properly. I should've pulled a log but didn't think of it. So I nand restored via cwm. Upon reboot I had two impassable errors logs providers stoped and android prosses.acore stopped surely the apn and latter issues are unrelated. Still I'm going to try and find a way around the apn issue. If it happens again (likely so) ill be sure to have a logcat .zip to flash as so not wasting time. Any suggestions for apn backup/restore apk's are helpfull. Thanks and sorry for the faulty question with no log for help to go on. Ill make sure I have one if I post again.

Disable VoLTE , go to dialer and it should be in settings..reboot and it will be fixed ! also i do have wifi calling disabled so either one fixed it.

I've never had the standby drain since getting this phone and I disabled wifi calling out the box voLTE isn't the issue
Try clearing cache (go to settings>storage>hold on cache and select clear) then reboot and go to recovery and I believe it will say no command so hold volume up and then select clear cache partition and it should fix the issue
Edit: after updates you should manually clear cache always well I do it aha
Cell Standby and Android System is on the top of the list chewing up 50% or more of the battery. I really want to root my phone so I can delete all the samsung crap running in the background but there's not a stable custom kernel now , g.lewarne kernel got bootloop and Arter97 has too much bug since it's in a early stage. I prefered Stock root kernel but after seeing how slow and quiet the forum is, guess it's time to jump ship. If I know Samsung don't release the source for their Exynos I won't be buying this device. I learn the hard way by paying a hefty price for this phone.
What kinda bugs you talking about in Arter kernel?

Ahh i see well try everything else but keep wifi calling and try that. download aptoide and download package disabler pro for free, I am using it and it actually does a pretty good job removing bloatware. There is also another method using your computer to remove bloatware , not sure if this is the one but check it out: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-from-your-android-device-xda-tv/
it keeps telling me i have it, but can not activate it.
i just kdz-d back to stock rom. advanced calling is still not working.
update. after making several phone calls and restarting the phone a few times, the advanced calling came back on stock.
update 2. after making sure i had advanced calling on stock, rooted it with low effort root and the advanced calling stayed. it was the root img from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814/page58.
i am going to try to flash the pure lg on top of it.
update 3. i did a dd of pure lg (low effort method) on top of the other rooted image and maintained advanced calling. it's a bit cumbersome, but the only way i could get it to work.
update 4. more problems. advanced calling is turned on but there is no data during the call. something is still screwed up.
update 5. flashed back to the previous rooted image, and i have data while calling as well as video. the problem is with the pure lg. also, lg backup didn't work on that.
Kdz back to stock (13b).
Set your phone up like usual.
Get advanced calling activated and make a test call to make sure it's working.
I install all of my apps and set everything up just like I want it.
Then extract your own system image, inject root, then flash the rooted system image. It should keep advanced calling functioning. Your using your own system.img not someone elses. That's why it works. Its worked for me and everyone I know that's tried it.
If you don't know how follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Good luck.
I went to the Verizon site, removed advanced calling, waited a few minutes, then added it back again. It's been working for me ever since.

My old G4 bootlooped on me so I'm in process of setting up my new refurb. I believe LGDMSClient must not be blocked for you to enable hd voice. This will also enable ota's, but you should be able to disable it again right away.
That seemed to do the trick for me anyway. I was adding and removing hd voice on the website to no avail until I unblocked LGDMSClient, and then bang, the hd voice option was there.
I had Advanced Calling on my original rooted G4 but after it bootlooped, I couldn't figure out how to activate it on my replacement until today. I can confirm that what finally worked was going to the VZW website to deactivate AC, unfreeze System Updates (aka LGDMSClient), reboot, activate AC on my phone, reboot. I have the latest My VZW installed and RootCloaked.

I have a VZW LG G4 and had the same exact problem. After scouring the XDA forums for like ever, I also threw my arms up in the air admitting defeat. Not completely falling into submission, I decided to give it one more shot and called my wife. As I had her on the phone, I tinkered with the option button in the top right of the screen and noticed that the "Noise Suppression" box was checked. I unchecked it and BAM!!! All is well. That is what did it for me. I thought I'd share. Good Luck All.

That just seems like such a bizarre/obscure feature. Maybe noise suppression isn't 'available' in advanced calling, and that's why?
I'll give that a shot. I'm gonna put the G4 up onto 27c -- but I'm not sure if I can KDZ straight from 13b to 27c. I don't want to wipe everything out -- so I figured I'd try to find out the answer first.
I had the same issue. What worked for me was first make sure that you have advanced calling activated on your account. Then I kdz'd back to stock. I went through the normal setup. I verified that I still had advanced calling on my account. I went into settings and clicked on advanced settings and then clicked on activate and when it was greyed out I factory reset the phone. When I went through all the normal setup again advanced calling was working.
Hi,
after using the CM13 for awhile, I need to find working replacement.
Honestly CM13 was slower and less responsive compared to CM12 on the Maguro.
However I need working and up to date ROM to install Android Auto, working GPS, ability to use Play Store.
I'm not keen to use latest the greatest as I have also Nexus 6, where I run 7.1.1
Maguro is mainly used for car navigation, I need at least Android 5 based one.
Thanks all!

I have a pair of recommendations for you and your maguro GNex; both are N-based, at that.
There is Unlegacy 7.1 (AOSP-based 7.1), which is - for now - the ONLY 7.1 or later-based ROM that can be reliably installed clean. The usual prerequisites apply (root and third-party recovery - I've used TWRP extensively with this ROM, and all versions from 2.7.1.0 to 3.0.2.0 will work with it). My other recommendation is PureNexus 7.1.1; contrary to Unlegacy, it should be installed as an upgrade - in other words, do NOT wipe before installing. You can install the newer GApps along with the ROM the same way, or let the update process handle GApp upgrading - both methods, in fact, work.
Which you should choose may well depend on whether or not you want either GoogleAssistant and/or Pixel Launcher. Pixel Launcher is, in fact, included with PureNexus 7.1.1 - as is Google Assistant; Google Assistant is addable to Unlegacy 7.1; however, I could not get Pixel Launcher to install on it. Pixel Launcher WILL work with Google Assistant - PureNexus is plenty of hard data on that front. What I like about PureNexus is that it has a lot of customization designed-in - including options that no other firmware offers; it reminds me a lot of Object Desktop for Windows, to be honest.
Both Unlegacy and PureNexus are unified; they will install the same way on any version of tuna-based hardware - maguro, toro, and toroplus (GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA/Sprint, respectively) You would no more lose features by not running on toro hardware than I do by not running on maguro hardware..

The original developer has maguro; however, it was developed as neutral; there are (literally) no maguro-isms in the code (I myself have toro hardware, and the phone in question is ex-VZW and is on the VZW-powered half of Tracfone's network).

The same main developers created CM 12, CM 13, and Unlegacy 7.1, so those are what I would suggest! Not many choices!
So far Unlegacy 7.1 is far better handling than CM13. I'm impressed

How's mobile network stuff working for you? I've got a toro on Page Plus (which is now also using 'the VZW-powered half of Tracfone's network'). I had been trying to get mobile data working on unlegacy-7.1, but I gave up a while ago. My daily driver had been cm13, but when Page Plus changed their APNs to tracfone, it broke mobile data and it took me better than a week to figure out what was going on. I got sick of it and switched to unlegacy-4.4 (which is a great ROM, by the way).
tl;dr: Do mobile data and mms work for you on a toro on tracfone?

I am not a fan of mobile data (as I don't get that much of it) - in fact, I prefer wi-fi (not mobile data) as I am almost ALWAYS near either a hotspot or a router; for that reason, I can't really reply to that question. I've never had issues with either SMS or MMS on Unlegacy or PureNexus for Tuna (which I installed as an upgrade from Unlegacy). Are you, in fact, aware that MMS and SMS CAN be used over wi-fi (yes; Google Hangouts supports the feature)?

Sure, I can send MMS from hangouts over WiFi, but when people send group messages / MMS to my mobile phone number? Only way to receive them is over mobile data. Unless I'm missing something, and there's a way to receive MMS's to your phone number over WiFi with Page Plus? But even if I could, I don't have access to WiFi at my day job.
Ouch

If you are in a situation where you can only be called (job-wise), usually, calling you would ALSO be a bad move - basically, if you can only be reached via mobile (voice or data), unless it's work-related, doing so would ALSO be of the bad - correct? It's also why if someone wants to MMS/SMS me, via my e-mail address (which is the default) is preferable to using my phone number - also, there are people that actually find easier to MMS/SMS me that I would rather NOT have call me. (It's an old habit from using older MMS/SMS clients - such as Yahoo Messenger - I only give out my phone number to those I am willing to actually talk to on a phone. In other words, instead of phone-number-based MMS/SMS, use your GMail-based address instead - which will help keep your mobile-data bill down. There SHOULD be a setting - either in Messaging or Hangouts - as to which to use by default. (Such a setting is NOT in Messenger.)

Of course you are right, and the phone gets ignored while I'm at work unless it's something urgent. But I'm not about to change my cell number to an 'unlisted number' that only a select few people know, and force all my friends and acquaintances to use another service to contact me. And people WILL send MMS's, usually apple users who cannot grasp why I wouldn't be able to get their 'group messages'. "You didn't get the message? Why not? You should just get an iphone!" Makes me sick.
But saying "you can mostly replace MMS with another service that uses WiFi" is different than saying "You can send and receive MMS over WiFi". And last I checked, neither mobile data nor MMS works on unlegacy-7.1 on toro.
So for now, I've replaced cm13 with unlegacy-4.4 and everything is working great. Once the SELinux stuff is straightened out with unlegacy-7.1 I will probably revisit that and see if I can get everything working.

That is why I asked what APP are you using for MMS. If you are using a phone-specific MMS app, it won't work over wi-fi (Messaging is such an example). Hangouts, however, does work over wi-fi (I have Hangouts on my tablet because it WORKS on it; Messaging does not). For messaging (and especially because I have both an Android tablet AND an Android phone - and I've had the tablet the longest) I tend to go with tablet-capable messaging apps - not ones that only work with phones. (Phone-specific apps in general are, in fact, my biggest gripe with Android as a platform.) MMS and SMS are not platform-specific in and of themselves - individual apps, however, can be. (Messaging is phone-specific; however, Hangouts isn't. That is, in fact, why I recommend Hangouts as a Messaging replacement - it's not limited to phones.) Messenger isn't limited to phones, either (not Facebook Messenger, but Google Messenger). This is, unfortunately why both app choice AND platform choice can matter. Therefore I can recommend either Hangouts or Google Messenger (for two reasons - neither is limited to phones OR to mobile data). So don't change your firmware; that's not the problem. - just use a different MMS and/or SMS app.

Actually, I use Signal as my messaging app. It uses WiFi if the messages are between Signal users. But no matter what app I use, if somebody sends an MMS to my mobile number, there's no way to get it other than to actually have mobile data and MMS working. No app that I've ever heard of can access Verizon's MMS servers and retrieve messages from there over WiFi. Except Verizon Messenger, But that's only available to on-contract customers, not prepaid MVNO users like me. When Hangouts sends messages to non-hangouts users, they are sent using a completely different phone number, and I don't want that either.
Anyway, this discussion started as a simple question of "Does MMS work for you?" which you've answered, "No." We obviously have different communications needs.
Is anyone using the early preview build as a daily driver? If so have you found any issues?
I am using it from the last 12 hrs. There are graphic/frame rate issues, app crashes if you switch device theme to "inverted " under display settings. If you keep it back to "Pixel ", things are smooth and fine.
Apple music isnt opening for some reason. No other issues noticed.
I've seen phone call issues. Android pay doesn't work yet. I think it will depend on how reliant you are on the device. It's a fun build though.

I think phone call issues would be a deal breaker for using it as a daily driver. Could you elaborate though on the phone call issues you experienced?

I flashed this on my 5x which is a data only Fi sim so I don't use it for phone or messaging, sorry. However, I did see other posts of people not being able to call or receive. I'll find the posts and link them here in a few. And then there were a few folks that were able to make calls, so I guess ymmv. Just be prepared to flash back if it doesn't work for you. brb

Gmail isn't loading emails for me. It syncs them but when I open them they don't load. Microsoft's Outlook does this too. And searches I type out via Google app never go through.

Not having issues on my end, Gmail worked perfectly before I removed it for inbox.
Searches also work fine on my end.

Gmail, phone calls, messaging, camera..All works perfect for me..As I said, only issue was when I changed the display theme to inverted..In normal settings, all works just fine..
All is working for me as well. It's been about 17 hours without a glitch. I paired my Huawei watch as well. Not using the Pixel launcher as I prefer Nova Launcher with the Dark Pixel icon pack. Using Gmail against MS Exchange server without issue. Mail, calendar and tasks are all operational.
LOL so other than bragging rights to use Android O, what is actually better than in 7.1.1/7.1.2?
Been using it on my pixel XL 128gb with several bugs, however, there is no crash when switching themes from inverted to pixel or vice versa, there is a Hangouts lag, amongst a few other things, I'm gonna keep daily driving On tho, and once root comes out flash substratum transparent theme ftwz, I just wish I could have my viper sound mods back
I am wanting to try the O software on my Pixel xl. Currently on Resurrection Remix ROM with unlocked bootloader. What's the proper way to flash the zip file I downloaded?
Developer option available? If so, is the unlock bootloader available or greyed out? Asking for a friend.

For me it was greyed out and my bootloader is already unlocked.
lots of bugs. calling issues (though I found that to be attributed to the Zedge app). Bluetooth is flaky. Random RAM dumps/reboots. UI froze a few times.
All above mentioned in the release notes, so was to be expected.
Had to take it off for daily use. Did so reluctantly, but I need it to make reliable phone calls, if nothing else.
Really like the direction it is heading however. Will definitely put the next build on and use it, as that is supposed to be the beta milestone.

Bluetooth is flaky when I was on DU ROM it was smooth..UI lag did notice at first but after few reboots & power off have not notice at all, in fact got snappier, phone calls good here.
The direction it's going I like it too, I'm still on it although some issues like game play stiil no go getting FC wifi calling but I activated thru phone app settings all good now
Battery life has been top notch heat stays low snappy Snappy that's one of reasons why still on build
I've been using the DP for the last 12 hours and so far the only problem I have had was some screen flashing when I was setting up Gmail. Other than that calls, messages, YouTube videos, etc. have all worked just fine.
I ran into one issue where the phone seemed to hand for 10-15 seconds but came right back after.
In my opinion, the best new features of O will require the apps to support it (adaptive icons, notification channels, ect.) so betweer 7.1.2 and 8, I can't say today there is something about Android O that I want enough to run a preview build.
does somebody runs into a Problem to not be able to copy files like pics, sounds (mp3) and movies (mp4) back to the phone? i get the phone connected, i can Access the store, but when i start to copy the files, the Connection get lost.. so im not able to copy my data back to the phone.. im not sure, if it's related to the dp1?
Gmail keeps crashing. Also when I am trying to use the app drawer it keeps going blacked out ? It's fun to play with but needs a lot of work.
