The update isn't working for me, even after reflashing the stock recovery. Did you have to do anything special to get it to work, or have you not modified the ROM at all?

I had the stock 4.4.3 ROM rooted and with the Xposed Framework installed. No custom recovery or custom kernel ever installed (I always used "fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img" rather than installing a recovery). The update worked fine for me. All I had to do was (after updating to 4.4.4) go into the Xposed framework installer, tell it to update/install the framework. I installed the 4.4.4 update through the OTA notification I received, not through the link in this thread. For me, the update was 41.1MB not 45MB. I downloaded the OTA over WiFi.
Before I installed the update, I booted ClockworkMod Recovery (again, booted not flashed) and made a nandroid backup. It couldn't backup my /data partition because it's encrypted, so I also made a full backup with Titanium Backup.

Full stock, no mods yet

I had same problem
I was on 4.3.3 stock using exposed installer, I used MotoToolAioV3 to restore stock recovery then took OTA, during install I kept getting an error.
The solution for me was to download stock recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53702274&postcount=268
extract the recovery then use MotoToolAioV3 to flash it, then accept the OTA and it should work, then if you're using exposed installer do what the other poster said and re-install xposed. Hope this helps.

Giving this a try, will report back

i just sad, I didn't mod anything because there is not yet full working ROM without bugs, mean the big one.
Anyway my One+ is on the way, Moto G is a good phone after breaking down my N4, going to sell soon

As I understand it, the main changes from 4.4.3 are compatibility with more SD cards, and some security updates to things like OpenSSL. I'm now able to use my 64GB Samsung EVO class 10 (MB-MP64DA/AM).

I managed to get the update installed after completely reflashing to stock (leaving the bootloader unlocked.)

The dialer is not buggy if you enable the animations in developer options (reset them to their default setting).

Thanks dude
I turned it off because I hate it

New update is pretty great. Previously on 4.4.3 the radio would drop all connections seemingly at random when starting up a music app or YouTube, but after upgrading to 4.4.4 the radio seems to hold a much more consistent connection with fewer drops (none so far) . I previously thought this might have been a faulty SIM

This is a link to GameTheory's rom. It wasn't showing up under Lg Stylo in the device search.
I recommend giving it a try.

Cool, and if you like you can report back in the Katana rom development thread.

ROM updated rev_11-16-2015
The rom is blazing fast now.
Head to the main rom thread here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-g-stylo-ms631-katana-rom-t3231399
ROM Changes:
Many performance improvements
Barebones debloated (Get Gapps from play store & LG bloat apps from my deodexed bloat zips)
Kernel Changes:
GPU overclocked to 450 mhz (for improved gaming performance)
CPU undervolt on lower frequencies (for saving battery when idle or screen off)
Added HyperX governor and set to default (very fast)
Added Conservative governor (for battery saving)
Added SIO and FIOPS schedulers
Lowered transition latency for Ondemand governor from 10mil to 9mil (for smoothness)
Running kernel mode NEON
-O2 optimized (might go -O3 on next update)
New logger interface "/sys/kernel/logger_mode" (0 = disable & 1 = enabled) 0 is default. Ask on forum how to use.
cflags optimizations (-mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -fgraphite -mfloat-abi=hard) and many more.
Make sure to follow the new install instructions. This is a major revision so make sure to clean wipe and flash.
LG deodexed bloat apps can be found in the "Optional Flashable Extras" section of the download page. You'll also find Cyanogen AudioFX and Dolby Atmos equalizers there.
Change log in post #2 will be updated shortly.
Enjoy folks.

So, i apologize in advance, but im om currently on "TURBO'S" latest build, but trtryingo flash to the latest "KATANA" build, but when I try, in TWRP, It IMMEDIATELY reboots back into TWRP, and I have TRIED EVERYTHING other that going all the way back to stock, so anybody know a trick ??

1. Boot into twrp and make a backup if you don't have one.
2. click on wipe and do the factory wipe not the advanced wipe.
3. Install and flash the Katana rom don't reboot yet.
4. Make sure you flash the correct one of these zips for the MetroPCS or T-Mobile partitions from HERE.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=43660
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache and reboot. It can take up to 5 mins
6. Enjoy

I have followed every step in the process, I even restored it to stock using the 10j KDZ file, re-rooted, installed TWRP, but the problem im having is really specific, and sounds like it could be something simple that im missing.
Lirerally ANY time i attempt to flash ANY .ZIP, it just reboots into recovery immediately. I still have the device working fine on the old turbo rom backup that I made, But i really want to flash KATANA. So can it be the wrong version of TWRP maybe ? I only flashed the TWRP version listed in the rom install instructions.
If has any clue what this could be, please let me know, thank you in advance.

Uninstall Instagram and reinstall. I was on Katana for a long time and I use Instagram alot.
Also, is it freezing when using the camera on Instagram or just when opening and browsing Instagram?

Modified ROM with encryption and SOME Samsung functions like Edge

I want to customize my phone software to get to the following:
- Get rid of the Samsung look (found a topic on Reddit to return to pretty much vanilla Android look)
- Use encryption for /data
- Debloat, I want to get rid of sh1t like S-Planner and S-Health
- I want to keep SOME functions like Edge
- Any handy tweaks are welcome
So I have been looking at what's available. I discussed Helios and SuperStock, which both should be able to use encryption but I haven't been able to get it to work. Then there is Systemless. From what I understand it's a custom rom lite with SOME tweaks and debloating of apps that are installable from Play Store. Would this be what I'm looking for? I'm still hoping for some nice ROM that supports encryption ánd has a nice Aroma installer/debloater as it will save me a lot of time. But does anyone know of such a ROM?
Alternatively I found a script to use to debloat on command line, will take some work. I can use that, keep stock ROM with encryption and not have any usefull tweaks.
I really like the hardware but I want encryption! Advice or tips on this subject are welcome.

For some reason, a lot of people prefer to disable encryption just so they can use things like TWRP to back up data. If their phone gets stolen, welp............................their girlfriends nudes are released to everyone and possibly their own nudes but oh well lol.
Anyway, your best bet is to root a stock ROM and slowly tweak it yourself. Start off with root, then flash TWRP without disabling encryption so you can flash mods still. Then flash for example the dual speaker mod, then move on to installing xposed. Once you have root, just use Titanium to disable things you don't want. Freeze them rather than deleting them.
Most UI tweaks are nonsense which either involves using a more power hungry kernel/keeping cores at a higher speed. Most battery tweaks involve disabling some UI fluidity. Stock ROM is a good place to start.

Thanks for your input. Yes, privacy and security is an underrated subject. But not to me
I can install TWRP to flash mods but if I swipe to allow modifications in TWRP the TWRP page says I might not be able to boot? How do you use it to flash mods without causing your phone not to boot?

You can still boot but you MUST flash SuperSU before rebooting. SuperSU will patch dm-verity and you'll be fine

Some questions regarding crDroid and LineageOS ROMs

I flashed my Moto G4 Play with Lineage OS. Everything was working fine until I unlocked my phone and a linked opened automatically in Chrome. This happens everytime I unlock my phone. I also get other kind of ads. When I press the activity button to see which app is responsible, the ad disappears.
What should I do to fix this?
I was thinking about flashing crDroid but noticed "DO A DATA WIPE " in the instructions. What does this mean? How can one do this? And what are dirty and clean flashes?

Not sure exactly about what is causing your ads, but clean flashing either another rom or the same one should fix it. To answer your question, this is what you wipe in recovery mode before flashing a rom for the first time (usually in TWRP):
data, cache, dalvik, system
This is what is called a clean flash, because you also wipe the data partition (which is where all your apps and their respective data is stored); if you were to do a dirty flash, common for updating roms, this is what you would wipe before flashing:
cache, dalvik, system (I wipe system because old habits die hard, I believe most - if not all - roms do this from the zip already).
So, dirty flashing (the same or a newer/older build of the rom you're in, otherwise you're just asking for trouble) would most likely not fix your issue as it is probably caused by an app you need to get rid of. Either clean flash the same rom, or go for another one. crDroid is nice, I'm using it with the heliox kernel. It has adaway built in so even if your ads issue does come back you might still be able to get rid of it natively.
Hope I helped!

Usually the cause of this kind of ads is some app you installed, and not the rom itself.
I would uninstall apps to find out the culprit.

Turned out to be Adblock Plus. The irony.

I have some torrents downloading on the internal storage. As soon as they are downloaded I will do a clean flash as the problem has resurfaced. Except android device manager, apps like greenify have their administrator access revoked. However, the ads still come.

How do I flash a kernel? Is it safe for a noob like me? Does the kernel have adaway or the ROM? Because if the ROM has adaway I would prefer not to mess with the kernel.
Thanks a lot for explaining what a clean and dirty flash is and how they are different!

Kernel flashing is similar to rom flashing; I think the best way to flash a kernel is to flash it right after clean installing the rom (this is, do all the wipes, flash the rom, the gapps, whatever addon, and the kernel); though I wouldn't call it safe (since none of this potentially is, if you don't pay attention), I wouldn't advise against it. It's part of the whole experience, and kernels can really improve your phone. In this case, adaway's included in the rom, not the kernel. So you should be fine without Heliox. But you should try it someday! Just remember to keep a backup of your data in case anything goes sideways. Good luck!

I took no backup of the kernel (my bad), flashed it after wiping the data and then I installed wiped everything and then I flashed the kernel again, the ROM (crDroid) and gapps. Working like a charm. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this rom. Had trouble finding it since it wasnt on the development page. Ive gone through about 7 roms and none were 100% working and I had a lot of trouble finding a way to get back to stock 21s for my X522. All the custom roms Ive tried either have a broken camera, missing cell broadcast, or hangouts wouldnt work on it when trying to make a call or use video chat. This is the only stable working rom Ive came across so far.

Well, if anyone is willing to help. I removed SuperSU and tried to replace it with magisk but I can't because my internal storage isn't showing up and it ask for a password to decrypt.

Try format data to remove encryption.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I know there is an issue with zoom being forced on when the phone is rooted. However my phone is randomly switching back and forth between zoom and normal by itself and it's most obvious in both chrome and Gmail where the text being a different size when I open it up. I've tried the build prop fix but it's still switching between both modes.
