One simple question.
The builds from aospa are 4.4 sources or 4.2?
Thanks in advance.

@houstonn was originally developing but stopped in June due to computer failures which is being resolved soon. His last build of 6/29 was on 4.4 sources and required the modem of stock 4.4.
The current builds supplied by @ayysir and now @jakew02 are on 4.2 sources which would require that specific modem.
Which ones exactly not sure as I am not familiar with every carrier version only sprint.

It has been stated in the ROM thread multiple times that you must use a 4.2 STOCK JB MODEM for best compatibility. Any other modems you guys use is solely at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. @MeestaAytch they should know what to use at this point but thanks for clarifying again for those who don't want to search before posting :highfive:
@jakew02 no problem. I know it's tiring repeating the same information but from what I've seen in my time using XDA.... It'll never change.
I'm glad you devs still continue doing what you're doing for us though knowing this nonsense goes on.

A few bugs
Hi,
The thread is too big for me to go thru it post by post so I'll just make a few questions and hopefully I'll get some answers. I flashed this ROM and it was working flawlessly. I only found very few bugs like not being able to set up multiple recurrent alarms because the app would freeze and there was another bug but I can't remember. The problem I find frustrating is with the text messages or SMSs. At first I was not receiving SMSs. Then I was receiving them but I couldn't send any. I returned back to stock VS98024a and I'm still having the same problem but at least I'm getting a pop-up when "General problems: cause code 96". I have googled this several times in several ways and can't seem to find a solution, not even on the Verizon site or help app on the phone. I need help with this please.
How to keep the back home task manager buttor on the screen?
battery life? i want to install on lg d800 and its beta only..
dori kernel
Hi,
From where you get Dorimanx kernel for AOSP ROMs ?
My phone says it can't connect to the camera, and the torch. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Please state exact filename and order of wipe/flash.
Just tried the test build for D802. Booted at LG logo for a while then screen turned black with 2 red lines and one green vertical line. I was so sure I was gonna get the permanent black lines but then again I read that the damaged screens are caused by already faulty hardware under high heat.
Anyways, I panicked and then I restarted the phone by pressing power + down. Then I got the weird boot sequence like everyone above describes and it boots into the OS. Thank God I got no black lines! However it wasn't stable for me as the phone rebooted itself twice within the span of 20 minutes. I'm going back to 13/10 build for now.
Any d802 users flashing latest twitter released rom can you please report here if jdi or lgd and whether or not weird logo appeared?
I'm on jdi and had weird logo appeared after clean flash. I did not let the rom boot and reflashed previous version without further problems
FYI, houston's latest works great so far on the VS980. Clean flash, using RenderKernel R24.
So i have the vs980 and i currently have xdabbebs rom on my phone, but i want to try PA. Can someone explain how to flash a rom over another rom, or is there something else i should do. i tried it once by flashing with twrp and it just hung on the lg sreen. luckily i had a back up

Migrating from one ROM to another is for me like this:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Wipe all except sdcard (yes, wipe system)
3. Flash new ROM
Be sure to always have a Nandroid backup!
And always check what baseband (aka radios or modem) your new ROM is requiring.
-___-
If you are UPDATING your current ROM, I.e. flashing a new build of let's say paranoid android, you can flash the updated file right on top of your old system. That is called DIRTY FLASHING and it's actually risky, so please, always do Nandroid backups!
-____-
Peace
Thank you for the reply. I tried doing it the way you suggested again and i get the same results. I wipe everything that is necessary and when i try to install the zip it immediately says failed

Ok
I would;
Update my custom recovery to the latest
Download recommended baseband, to be on the safe side
Redownload the ROM
Check the md5-checksum
Retry to install it
Flash the recommended baseband, better safe than sorry
Never give up
Peace
Hi guys i just flashed the newest build and out of all the roms i have flashed i have never seen this problem. After i flashed i have no sim service at all. Done a clean install still no good.

Just recently flashed a friend's phone with Energy Rom. The rom looks amazing and is very well designed. There are just a few issues that he is having and I have not seen anyone else experience these problems in the tread. (Too few posts to post there)
Her camera is not working and I guess her Hotspot gave her a "timed out" message. . . . If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know if you were able to resolve this and how.
Thanks!

Are you on the 4.1.2 update? If so you will need to flash back down to 4.1.1 kernel because the new kernel is not compatible with the 4.1.1 camera

Energy ROM is based off of the the 4.1.1 build, the latest update has the XT907 at 4.1.2. So if her phone was previously on 4.1.2, then flashing this ROM could cause problems as the previous poster mentioned due to the new kernel. Not sure if the developer will update his ROM any time soon (which I loved by the way, and keep checking his thread for any updates),
also, Energy ROM can only be installed via SS right now, and given that the bootloader has been unlocked, I believe that all ROMs will be flashable via TWRP/CWM going forward - thus making SS obsolete for the XT907.
Here's what I suggest though:
unlock bootloader
install TWRP recovery
try out the DeadRage ROM, which is based on the 4.1.2 build: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/17778-romretail-deadrage-v12a-05092013-412-base/
if you really want to stick with Energy ROM with working camera, then you still can:
flash back to stock (4.1.1)
root
install SS
unlock bootloader
install TWRP
install Energy ROM on Slot 1
backup Energy ROM via SS
move Energy ROM to stock slot via SS
backup Energy ROM via TWRP (basically making a nandroid, and this can be installed going forward as a backup)
uninstall SS
Thanks!

Kernel?
Any clue of where I can find just the kernel I need to download and flash?
Sorry for coming across as a newbie, but I am used to other phones that have a bit larger of a community. Thanks again.

no worries - we all were newbies at some point in time.
I have not seen a thread dedicated to the stock 4.1.1 kernel, but I did find this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017200
my advice at this point is to backup your apps/data via TiBu (and then copy that backup folder to your mnt/external1 directory).
so that way, after you pick your ROM, you can re-download your apps from the market (I always recommend doing this as opposed to letting TiBu restore them), then you can use TiBu to restore data ONLY from your apps. I do NOT recommend restore system data though when switching ROMs (however, I do restore WiFi settings and bluetooth pairings).
hope this helps.
All worked out great! I appreciate the help. I ended going with Energy 4.1.1 I have that stupid grateful dead image stuck on first power up due to rage. -Annoying!!

Hi,
After installing PARANOIDANDROID following this post . The baseband isn't recognised inside PA, so i tried to flash it after the rom but no change. I read a lot about loosing the Partition where the IMEI is stored an got really scare xD After unroot and going back to stock Rom everything is fine. So PA didn't recognise either the partition or the baseband ? Am I doing anything wrong because in no faq was my problem explanded or mentioned.
Sorry for my bad english.
Regards,
Zardorac
nobody ?
You most likely did not do anything wrong, I've been seeing a lot of issues lately with the radio after people flash PA 3.99. I had an issue too last time I installed PA where my radio stopped working completely no matter what the ROM, and I wound up having to use the LG download tool to fix it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
so best option wait for next release or is there any other option.
Regards,
Zardorac

updating from 11-2
Hi
If I'm already on R11-2, how do I update? Do I just flash this to the same slot (after backing it up)? Do I need to flash the NI2 firmware tar again?
Thanks

Flashing From Stock
Sorry for a total noob question, but I'm new to flashing and I'm paranoid
It says in the first post to do a full wipe if coming from a different ROM... Would stock TW count as a different rom? Or can I dirty flash this to the stock slot without doing anything else?

No worries ask away. Yes stock TW would be considered a different ROM.
Not sure if anyone is having this similar problem, but I cannot seem to get the flashlight toggle to work. I flashed the fix file multiple times and still nothing. Any ideas? (I'm on R12-2)
S Health Crash
I'm having healthservices crash constantly. I went from "stock" rooted 4.4.4 to your 12-2 release with a dirty flash. Do I need to wipe anything? For now I turned off S health and everything else seems to be working fine.

As stated in the OP, flashing from a different ROM (stock is a different ROM) you need to clean flash.

NI2 Firmware
So, what happens if I don't flash the NI2 firmware with ODIN after flashing the ROM with safestrap? In my haste to get this up and running I may have run out of the house before flashing the firmware. As of now it's running fine and it says my build is OptimalRom. I can see Viper has installed and the volume up flashlight tweak is working. It seems to be mostly there short of the extra toggles in notifications.
Chances are I'm going to get home later and fix this, but I was just curious because at the moment my phone is running great.

It would probably work on other firmwares (since rooting NI2 requires downgrading), just not 100% stable and you'll probably get many FCs. What's your baseband say? If it ends in NI2, then you're fine. If it says NE9 or NCG or NHA, then you'll want to flash the NI2 firmware.

Baseband ends in NI2. But, like I said, it's running pretty much flawlessly. Being paranoid of something down the line not working correctly I'm probably just going to fix it later tonight though. Thanks for the quick response! If this is not 100% than I'm going to be extremely happy when I re-do it later and get it working correctly. Cheers.

As I can install this ROM from ROM cloudyg3 my ls980?
scary voice in voip calls (Skype etc....)
I have experience this thing with every the AOSP lollipop builds i have tried till date.
What VZW baseband does this ROM work with?
NVM FOUND IT... JB baseband for anyone else looking....
D802 Skype etc.
Been having problems with skype, viber and such apps on both CM12 unofficial and PA on my d802. would appreciate if it was listed as a known problem if its happening to other dudes.
Guys really waited for this rom! I used it on older devices and is one of the best!
Can we have a bug list or there are no bugs?
Can't wait for full PA features!
vs980 dialer locking up
clean flashed on jb baseband on vs980 and when make first call can't make another as if call is still in progress is there any help for would like to test rom

It seems that battery life on my D802, 2014-12-05 build is seemingly better.
Placebo or real - who knows?
AND! Pull-down-on-right to get all toggles and settings works also.
I love the work by Mike and the Gang!
First off, thanks to the devs for all the hard work!
But I have a quick question.
On the latest LS980 build, I can't seem to access APN settings. And I also get 3G but no LTE. Any advice?
If we're using a bumped kernel and recovery can we use this with KitKat boot loader or do we still need to use jelly bean boot loader unless the ROM is bumped as well?
Just using this for 1 hour ...wiped everything before install...installed 4 times to be sure.this rom is lagging a lot and force closing some apps...i was using cm 12 04/12 with no problem ...installed this cause of 5.0.1 update ...i ll try it a little more and see if the problem is fixed.

What device are you using and what bootloader and baseband?
How can we get the battery charging led turned off? It's really annoying at night when using the phone while charging. Or is that not possible yet? I tried doing it through an app like light flow and another one called led control but it didn't do anything so I don't think they work on lollipop yet.
So anyway to shut it off through ROM or not yet?
Just for giggles I updated my TWRP to 2.8.1.9, flashed D802 2014-12-08 build and gapps and supersu, all in one strike.
-Works well! Recent Apps-list now functioning and all is HappyPuppy.
Peace
Edit: Clean flashed today's update and all's good now
Why it say binery error on lg g2 d803 ??
Very low audio output to car
I first noticed this issue with cm12, and now still occurs here on PA.
With my volumes maxed on both my stereo and phone, it is still fairly quiet. I have tried multiple different volume boosters, zips, and nothing fixes it. On CM12, it was working amazing for a day then just stopped again, and i have no idea why lol.
It may be a general lolipop issue, but ive been googling for days on this and im stumped.
Is anyone else having an issue with overheating when SuperSU is flashed? I'm on D800 and have tried several modems and only seem to have the problem when rooted.
Sorry for such a noob question but I have no idea what a baseband is and I've been having this auto-rotate issue with my 5.0.2 ROM and its really annoying me and I would like to fix it.. But from my understanding I would have to flash a certain baseband BUT I've always thought that was risky business(?) and also I switch back from stock KK lg ROM and lollipop.. Wouldn't I run into same issue with stock ROM if I flash a new baseband?? Once again sorry for such a noob question. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
The baseband is responsible for radio connection etc and the auto rotate. Depending on your variant you need a special one for each rom. For all cm roms the jb baseband they start with a 10 for kk roms with a 20 and stock lp will have 30
God bless you! Lol. Seriously though.. I have two more questions if you don't mind.. Is it true you cannot backup a baseband? And is it true if I were to flash a baseband for lollipop, whenever I would want to flash back down I would have to flash KK baseband or else I would run into same issues as before? Auto-rotate, connection issues etc? Thanks again!
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
Baseband is commonly referred to as "radio" and also "modem" as well, it just refers to the specific version/build of the firmware responsible for controlling the actual cellular radio (and ties into some other aspects of the overall operation of the phone).
Yes, you can back up baseband/radio/modem files relatively easily on most cellular devices these days and flash new(er) ones at will using custom recovery. Recovery tools like TWRP (in more current versions) allow you to back up most any aspect of the installation (baseband/radio/modem, EFS, etc).
With respect to the Lollipop question, well, it's not officially available yet so what we're dealing with are basically modified kernels to some degrees to get the actual builds functional on the G2. In time we'll have full stock Lollipop kernels, baseband/radio/modems, everything and then things will progress further.
Thanks, I appreciate your help! Question, how does one back up baseband and are you running lollipop on your g2? If so where did you get the kernel to fix auto-rotate? Thanks again.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
The latest TWRP recovery (2.8.4.0) can easily do a baseband/radio/modem backup or restore operation, or flash a new one easily. It has its own thread here, just do a search in the G2 forum for TWRP (in the topic title) and you'll find it.
As for a kernel fix, I have no idea, I can't stand Lollipop and have no intentions of using it anytime soon but since all the current ROMs are basically ports (it's still not really official on anything but the Korean variant afaik) then all the development happening right now is just working with what they can, you might be "stuck' with the auto-rotate issue for a while unless such a kernel exists.
The specific thread(s) for a given Lollipop ROM or kernel would obviously be the place you should be asking such questions, just for the record.
