LG G2, eleven basic question - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
tomorrow I will get LG G2 D802 International version 16 GB and have few basic qestion
1. Do I need root to put CyanogenMod 11 ?
2. Which recovery should I use to flash costum rom? I see TWRP, CWM and philz. Can I just download one of these from google play or have to install from .img file?
3. Is bootloader factory unlocked in d802 international version or should I do something to be able to root my phone?
4. Should I do a backup (EFS folder?) my original stock room with all detalis (IMEI etc.) or could i really use LG link update with put original IMEI at the end of this link
HTML:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...heck2.jsp?esn=
If need to backup, then how? I mean when i will need to use my warranty
5. What is Xposed for G2?
6. Which gapps should I install for cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-d802 it's 4.4.2 or 4.4?
7. What is diffrence between TWRP image version install and version from google play?
8. it would be beneficial to install a different kernel in cyanogenmod than original one?
9. Im looking for fastest camera app (I used iPhone 4 before and camera was pretty fast, about 3 pics per second and i really love it) speed is more important than quality. [speed > quality]
10. How could I root and install recovery to put costum rom when I get my G2 and android 4.4.2 KK will be installed? should i downgrade to 4.2.2 ore something else?
11. I heard that camera lens is susceptible to scratches, how can I protect it (I dont like any cases, I ve never used any) Maybe foil or something? I'm looking for something that does not affect the optimal image quality
sorry for english btw.
THANKS FOR HELP
feeling

1. Yes.
2. Your choice.
3. No, it is locked.
4. I didn't but it is advised.
5. It is an app full of Xposed framework tweaks to go along with the Xposed framework.
6. 4.4.2.
7. No difference in terms of the recovery, just a different install method.
8. it depends on what you want a custom kernel for, overclocking etc. The CM11 kernel is stable.
9. The stock LG camera app is pretty speedy imo, but so is the stock CM11 camera app.
10. If it comes pre installed with 4.4.2 (which it shouldn't at this time) you can either downgrade to 4.2.2 or wait for a root and recovery install for 4.4.2.
11. I've had mine months without a case and i don't nave any scratches.

You are supposed to read the forum. Your thread is about you being too lazy to do some work for yourself.

Thanks for all your help, I have already got my LG G2 and with CyanogenMod it works great and smooth! Didnt like this ugly LG stock ROM.
But now I can report few issues with CyanogenMod 11 M5 version for my D802
Sometimes I got Trebuchet suspended, it looks like here: [to fix it I need to settings > homescreen > search bar > deselect and select again]

Second issue is that in quick settings is not in the middle and i have space from the right which looks not good ( I know this is a small detail but in CM 10 worked good).
Third issue is probems with bluetooth, when i turned it on and off and again on, bluetooth was not able to start and resulting suspended.
Also had some problems with transfer files from my laptop to G2 by MTP USB cable [Windows 7 x64] Many many times transfer just stopped at copying]

That's kind of mean. It looks like he already did a lot of research as he's asking the right questions, it looks like he just needs some reassurance/confirmation as to what his idea of the process is correct. He asked in the right section too, so not too bad.
As for OP, I can't comment on your CM11 questions as I use SlimKat personally, but I have the same issue with transferring files where it looks like it just stops and hangs. Weird thing is, it actually still transfers the file correctly even though it hangs and you have to close it. Just leave it be and wait for it to close.
I was trying to transfer a new ROM and it hanged, but upon checking the MD5 it looks like it fully transferred. Enjoy your new G2!

I tried root my LG G2 sprint and superuser installed. I continued then to use Root Checker and it said my phone wasn't rooted. I tried a couple more times and it still isn't working.... Help????

Add Memory to my N10

Hi there,
I got the N10 and I have run out of space already, so I bought a OTG cable and a 256GB USB stick, so I can load all the music and movies I need on the drive.
So I connect everything and no luck, so I try and std. 8GB stick and same issue.
Then I start reading and find that the best solution for me is probably Stickmount, or something similar, but I need to root my device to use it.
So here is my question:
I am happy to have the stock N10 SW installed and do not really need to load custom ROMs.
I would like to receive future std. OTA updates
So how do I root my device and maintain the requisites above. I have never rooted a device and do not know much about the process, so I would really appreciate detailed info/step-by-step info... I have access to a PC, but use a mac, so is there a SW solution for mac to root?
Ps. what are the downsides of rooting, if done as I requested? and What are the typical Nuub mistakes?
Many thanks,
Nick
You can use an app called Nexus Media Importer to mount an external USB drive without root.
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938.
This gives you root without unlocking and OTA should works.
Don't bother part that unlock is necessary - is not (for me and others is not - you must try by yourself).
For drivers use Universal Naked one.
Good luck!

Just kidding.
It's very easy to both root and unlock. You also open up a whole other side of apps that aren't available to you on stock
Good luck :beer:

Awesome... Love it... thanks for sharing..
Please can you let me know what I am missing not rooting it? Is there a good write up somewhere?
Many thanks,

OK, I followed the thread and rooted my gn10.. I also downloaded an app that let's me lock and unlock my boot loader without wiping the device...
If I still want to get the ota updates, what do I need to do/what mode do I need to leave it in to make sure I get them? Locked or unlocked? And will it be an issue the my device is rooted?
Also, what is the latest gn10 ROM available? I have 4.2.1. Is it worth upgrading and if so, which is the best ROM out there and how do I find it and install it?
Many thanks for all your help!

To receive the OTA updates you don't have to do anything except check when they're available! 4.2.2 is the latest, within you may want to check if it's available.
Rooting simply lets you access the root of the device, it won't stop updates or anything similar. If you update to 4.2.2 OTA you may lose root, you can easily get it back by using the same instructions as you followed to root it in the first place, or use the toolkit. Or you might not lose it, and either way it's no big deal, you can always check to see if you have it anyway.
Custom roms are more daunting but they're really not that hard, if you feel up to the task you will have to make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed, then it's just a case of wiping the device and installing it. There are loads of videos on YouTube that can help you do it, and and countless threads on here. Paranoid android is my favourite, if you install a custom rom kiss OTA updates goodbye, when a new version is released it usually comes with all the updates. :laugh:
Question directed at OP: Where/which OTG cable did you get? I'm considering one so I can hook into my external media HDD.

i see you most likely have an outdated kernel try flashing this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816087
tell me what happens
can somebody give me another link for download, i am unable to download the rom, have tried multiple times... it just stops in the middle.
thankyou.
My efs folder became blank after installing this ROM. I do have a backup but when I copy it to the root of the phone and restart it my IMEI stays unknown, and cant get service? Am I supposed to set some permissions or something?
I came from 4.1.2 MIUI ROM, now I flashed back to that ROM and everything is fine. This is really weird.

yeah that happens..
whenever you flash 4.3 over 4.1.2 or 4.0.4 then the IMEI no becomes invalid..
In your case you need to flash the rom again after you restored the files in the efs folder..
that is why your IMEI no got restored when you flashed back to MIUI....
:laugh:
I wont be able to do it for a while, but is it possible anyone can upload their own screenshots? i will post it on the OP, and give credit to you. thanks in advanced

OmniROM Gerrit Review
This thread is intended for questions, troubleshooting, etc. NOT related to the DEVELOPMENT OF OmniROM
With the added support for ALL variants of the jf family (Galaxy S 4), I am going to open this thread up to Q&A related to ALL jflte devices :good:
So those with questions regarding OmniROM, post em up here and they'll be answered to the best of our ability! :good:
Frequently Asked Questions will be posted in Post #2, and VERY Frequently Asked Questions will be posted in Post #3 of the ROM thread ​
Frequently Asked Questions​
Q: Why don't I have root access after installing OmniROM?
A: OmniROM does not have an official, prebuilt root method yet, so you'll just need to flash SuperSU in recovery and you'll have 100% working root access. SuperSU can be found here: SuperSU
Q: Where is <insert feature here>, like CM/AOKP/PA/etc have??
A: Omni is still very early in development, but moving at an incredibly fast rate. New feature, bug fixes, and device support are added just about daily. Check it out here: OmniROM Gerrit Review for the latest and greatest
Q: How do I start/stop screen recording?
A: Volume UP + Power will start screen recording. Simply drag the notification bar down and click the button to stop.
Q: HALP NFC doesn't work!!
A: We know.

I wouldn't touch the DevTools app. It's mainly for developers to be able to see process and other things to make sure that their apps/ROMs are running properly "behind the scenes".
I am planning on hiding it from the AppDrawer, I just haven't gotten around to it yet, sorry!

SD card Error
Whenever I install this ROM it never reads my SD card. I have wiped data/system, cache and dalvich and still won't read it.

You'll have to do some searching but it has to do with the way the SD is formatted. There was a lot of talk in the CM11 thread about that. Sorry, can't offer up any more...
Does this occur with certain apps?
I know with apps like Titanium backup or Hide it pro I have to go into settings and point the app back to the SD card before info can be recognized. For example go into Titanium backup and under preferences choose SD card and the info is then read from it.

From experience I tried 4 various modems until I found the one that works on my S4 I9505 from Australia, i even tried flashing modems with a different country code than my stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Sami.. Basically keep trying till you find what works for you
Activation??
Whnever i do a clean install of the rom - my phone tries to reactive itself by calling *22899 and then the next screen it tries to activate data. Both of these activation steps are failing and my data connection has become really weak. Anything I can do to fix this? (I updated prl and profile before installing the rom - i also wiped cache,factory reset/wipe data,format system, format dalvik cache)
I am using OmniRom on my i9505 and i recently found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2546120
Becausethe S4 is using a Qualcomm chip i am curios whether i would benefit from it. So here comes my quastion. Is OmniRom already using this, or as mentionend in the thread, another more optimzied version of bionic, dalvik or both (Quote: "don't use the bionic patch on CyanogenMod, PSX and probably others, because they already have more optimized versions!") ? Thanks

MIUI I have, but it is not on all devices installed k910 and so I did not give to the general ispolzvoaniya. There is only one sim card
And which GApps would you recommend, master_lie? Because you don't mention them, so I guess they do not come preinstalled in your ROM, right?
Edit: OK, just flashed the ROM, Google Play is there. Apart from that, seems like a really good ROM., with just a few Russian names of apps (Cleanup utility and maybe one or two more, can' remember now) and one folder (Utilities) - no big deal. Will be watching the development with great interest.

Thanks. This is my first ROM, which I give to the English-speaking forum, but in the future if there is demand I will make it possible to support labels and folders for the languages that are provided in the firmware.
After a couple days I noticed one thing that would be great to solve: if I want to use any other app for text messaging (handcent, chomp, textra etc.), the stock app doesn't wanna give up. When I set the alternative app as default in the Apps menu, it shows as set, but I still get two notifications and the alternative app keeps asking if I want it to be the default. If I click yes, it stops asking, but the menu of default apps shows the stock app as default and I get - you guessed it - two notifications. Or none - when I was testing handcent, of the 6 texts my wife sent me only 3 arrived ?
Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it? The default app is not too shabby, but it doesn't let me assign different notifications to different contacts, which I like to do.

The problem you describe is due to shell VIBEUI, since it is used by all applications umolachniyu and any changes or destination other applications for SMS or calls by default to nothing lead. To collect completely pure android and then it will be possible, that you need.
Thanks for the reply, I suspected something like that :/ I'll just have to hope for Cyanogen or something to come to this phone, maybe one day...

cyanogenmod prl update

hello
First off, I have modded with cyanogenmod quite some time ago.
I have kept that up date (cause of their nice update program), but I have never updated the carrier roaming lists (PRL?). My coverage seems to be crappy and I think it just may have to do with my newbishness.
I am running Cyanogenmod 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte
Sprint PRL = 55018
is there a retard guide for me to easily update.... any suggestions or links would be great. I have spent over an hour searching google, but I am obviously using the wrong keywords and I am getting frustrated. I keep stumbling across other models / mods and I am fearful of breaking something....
Thanks for your time

You'll need to flash a touchwiz based ROM to do a PRL update.

thanks for the detail.
I dont mean to be a turd, but there seems to be a whole lot of TouchWiz variants. Is there a specific one to use?
thanks, and best regards

Any TouchWiz should be fine, but go with stock if you want to make sure

Yes, unless you use stock rooted. But that doesn't matter since all you are doing is flashing stock ROM, updating PRL and then restoring cyanogenmod

sorry for being a pain, but as I dont do this often...
if I flash the zip here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257503
this will put me back to TouchWIz original (plus root)
then I will follow the rest of the steps
(sorry for being dense, I was incorrectly thinking that I would loose the ability to use clockworkmod recovery / restore functions once I flashed the touchwiz rom and I would have to root before I could restore cyanogen, but that is firmware not ROM..... )
Its late and I have been up forever...
Thanks
I need some help.
Using Clockworkmod recovery V 6.0.4.7.
Tried using http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-rooted-stock-roms/ >>>> "Download Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM Sprint SPH-L720 Latest MF9 "
checked the filesize and the md5 sum, all good.
WHen I tried to use CWM to install zip from SDcard1 it gave me an error (missing 4 of 5) and aborted the installation.
I tried to search somewhere else to find a .zip that would bring the Sprint SPH-L720 back to stock, however they all seem to not have .zip for CWM recovery however make use of ODIN (which i cannot use as I dont have a windows computer, I use linux)
I want to go back to stock to update the prl before going to cyanogenmod 12.1
any suggestions ?
thanks

Rough night here.
somehow I lost clockworkmod recovery and ended up being still rooted with stock mf9 recovery, but I still had cyanogenmod 11 working; I recovered by installing clockworkmod application; > model > flash clockworkmod recovery > shutdown.
In the midst of that fiasco I say this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296167
which implies that keeping the PRL as up to date is not so required.....
so I bailed after several different attempts to install a ROM that would allow me to do a prl update.
I flashed the latest cyanogenmod nightly 12.1 and I am off and running.
