Lollipop 5.0 Roms! Experiences/Bugs/Advice - T-Mobile LG G3

Hi friends!
I've been around the forums the past few days and noticed several Android 5.0 lollipop roms for our device. I've tried out a few of them and have been very impressed with how good they are. So I'd like to ask you guys, what are your experiences with any of these Lollipop Roms? Is there any you prefer? What are any bugs you've come across? Is there any advice you'd like to give on flashing or using these roms?
I think this could be a great way to gather our thoughts and keep track of how development is going.
Thanks!

I am eagerly waiting to make one of these roms my daily. Flash every nightly of the cm12 and play around for about an hour but then nandroid back. Not that many issues but still seem buggy and things that i use daily like the IR blaster dont work. I find it amazing how fast the devs were able to get us 5.0 roms so quick! And almost fully functional to! Maybe you can list the roms? To my knowledge the only 5.0 roms iv seen are 2 cm12s and a 5.0 pac.

I think all 3 builds are based on CM12. The 3 lollipop Roms I know of are:
Unofficial-cm12.0-ANDROID 5.0-beta by $droyd$
[Unofficial] PAC-ROM 4.4.4.RC-3 & 5.0 Alpha by Asianflavor
CyanogenMod 12.0 by Phantomphreak53
If anyone finds other 5.0 Roms please let us know here!
Thanks!

So far I've found Phantomphreak53's CM rom to be the most stable. Only thing not working is video recording which is a common issue amongst all of the lollipop roms. All in all these builds hold up extremely well for Alphas.

I am currently using the CM-12-Unofficial by PhantomPhreak53 and here are my thoughts so far:
I clean flashed the 11/21 build after formatting data (I know this is not required or necessary) and a wipe. With a clean slate, it worked very well with the exception of NFC, double tap to wake, video recording and the resolution was off. Double tap to wake was fixed by editing a file, resolution was fixed with build prop, and I didn't need NFC or video so it was fine.
I dirty flashed the 11/23 build and NFC has been fixed. The video recording still doesn't work and the error "can't connect to camera" pops up after you try. The 11/23 build also fixed double tap to wake, added privacy settings, and fixed the resolution. Some people have noticed battery drain, but I get just about the same I got with stock. I will get about 3-4 hours of SoT with roughly 12-15 hours off the charger. This is all LTE on T-Mobile. Overall, I think 11/23 is good enough for a daily and I am currently using these "nightlies" as my dailies. There are some reports of crashing, but I haven't had any so far.

I was running the Pac Rom build for a few days, but it seems the developer has switched to a nexus 6 and stopped further development. Pac Rom worked extremely well for me, the only issue I ran into was Documents force closing. I switched to the CM12 (11/24) by Phantomphreak53 today. Hopefully it holds up as well as Pac. Phantomphreak53 has been doing an excellent job with updates almost everyday. I'll check in again after spending some more time with this rom. Thanks for the input everybody!

I tried CM12 11/19 and 11/22, but ended up going back to a 4.4.4 rom because of battery life issues (namely NFC service using up my battery), video issues (opening a video in snapchat caused the phone to crash), and some other various instabilities. Is the video issue fixed in 11/24?

It looks like they are working on the video issue, or they changed something because now I don't get a force close but the video freezes and you have to reboot.
As for battery, I would try clean flashing a new ROM, maybe even the 11/25, because I have no misc or NFC battery issues. NFC did show up on the 11/23 rom, but it was very low and I got about the same battery life as I got from CM-11 and stock. Let's see if 11/25 fixes it for good.
EDIT: Scratch that. Taking a video still causes the camera apps to crash. Nothing has changed there.

I'd much rather have the app crash than have to reboot. I guess i'll have to check out 11/25.

I must have done something to cause the reboot. Every time I have tried since it just crashes. I haven't had any reboot issues at all on any of the roms, and I am currently on 11/25. I apologize if my post was confusing.

Things get a bit funky with these roms sometimes. The other day I lost all audio playback on my phone for absolutely no reason. I kept rebooting, but still no sound. I suggest you get everything working as best as you can and make a recovery from it. That way if things get wacky you can just restore and have everything back to how it was.

That's probably a good idea. I have seen some inconsistencies between devices as well. Some people have weird battery drain while others don't, some have problems with AUX and others don't etc. I wonder how much is the ROM, how much was how it was flashed and how much was related to different apps and settings. So far I have had a great experience though, so no complaints here.

I'm guessing none of these lollipop roms have wifi calling?

Go read any single one of the lollipop threads and that question will be answered for you. Literally, any single one of them.

Every other post asks that same question. Gets frustrating even going through the threads anymore. Every other post mentions the video not working too. It even states in the CM12 OP by phantom that the video doesn't work. It always helps to read the entire thread before even flashing the ROM. That way when you flash it and stuff doesn't work you really have no one to blame but yourself. If you use the video camera a lot, just don't flash the ROM. That way when you try and use the video camera and it crashes, you won't go straight back to the thread and complain or mention it doesn't work. The moderators are gonna start going through and clearing all the repeat posts. They shouldn't have to if you just do your research people. That is all.

No rom not based on t-mobile stock will have wifi calling, it is baked in low level. However, if you have a Google voice number and you integrate it with hangouts you can make a call over data with hangouts, if you're on wifi then boom, wifi calling. Can't be done with your carrier number though.

I've tried all three. Was hesitant to try PhantonPhreak53's build but I finally did and haven't left. Updates have been consistent and this rom has been my daily for about a week now. Not really worried about the video recording. I take Photos on Snapchat majority of the time anyway so I can wait patiently for the video recording fix. I'm just glad to have a stable 5.0 lollipop build.

Looks great

Anyone using these roms with QI charging? Does it still work?
Knocked off my LG-D851

Finally flashed a 5.0 rom and have discovered that QI charging still works, though it feels like it takes longer to charge.

4.2.1 CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone has had chance to install CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM and if it's good? I'd imagine it to be quite buggy at the moment due to the fact that it's only just been released. Quite keen to update to latest android 4.2.1 but don't want to update to a buggy ROM.
Links: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...oid421-jellybean-galaxy-note2-n7100-cm101.htm
http://get.cm/?device=n7100
I just flashed this rom to test it out. Lots of graphical bugs(especially when using the camera) and all of the S-pen features DO NOT WORK. And i also have noticed that my power off button whenever i click it , it does not turn off the screen to go in lockscreen. Other then that..man i was so happy to see AOSP i love it so damn much but..this is just not for me i wish these bugs were fixed and then AOSP is on!!! Thanks for the link though.
No worries for the link . I was surprised no one had been talking about it on here before when in posted it. Cyanogen seems that be the most popular ROM because it's Google stock and optimised. currently using ParanoidAndroid which is great. I highly recommend. Hopefully they'll release a 4.2.1 version of that soon!!

Are there graphical like bugs on PA , I think the S-Pen features dont work on that too but you can get some apps to have like features and can i have the link to the version you are currently using please, Also hows the battery life on it ? Thanks!

No graphical bugs in PA at all (as far as I am aware). I'm really pleased with it. I'd recommend it to anyone. Tablet apps on this phone also work beautifully well. Like YouTube for instance.
Battery life is SLIGHTLY (we're talking marginal) decreased from Samsung ROM. However, to give you an example of how good the battery life still is - I go to work and use my phone throughout the day for Spotify. It's always connected to wifi at work as I have hardly any signal. I am also always connected to GPS so i can get the most out of things like google now etc. I unplug at 8:30 and get home for about 6:30 every night. My battery when I get home is usually 60%. So I can't complain. When I had my iPhone I used to have to stay constantly tethered!!

Some issues with AOKP rom

I just updated my LGOG with spleef's AOKP 9/08 rom (4.3), and while some issues were fixed (i.e., camera focus, finally!), some new issues came up:
Colors seem washed out; not by much, but noticeably so.
Camera only goes to 8 MP, also no HDR (may be an issue with the GApps I flashed)
Kernel crash when recording video. (also may be GApps issue)
I guess I can live with the colors issue, since it might just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Hopefully this is just me flashing the wrong GApps.
Btw, I have gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
Any help is greatly appreciated:laugh:
Yeah I'm working on it my man, the Camera is a weird one cause I'm using same sources in all but only aokp build with 8mp... the video stood in thinking is related to the hardware qcom sources they are being changed and updated daily.... Only advice I can offer is to try to be patient... these 4.3 ROMs are in early stages so as they progress things will be added/removed, fixed/broken, but you can rest assured these bugs will be worked out eventually.... I use these gapps
http://db.tt/3liRIaze...try them next time you do a fresh flash ... sorry for new issues I know they are an inconvenience but with everyone working together like we do they will be squashed
Alright, sounds good. Also, I tried benchmarking with Epic Citadel, and that also caused a kernel crash.

Yeah issue was either kernel related or hardware both have been updated so maybe won't happen again on today's builds

Yeah, I'm currently downloading a 9/05 build of spleef's Carbon ROM. I backed up everything last night also, so if all else fails, I can just revert to that old AOKP backup.
Ok, so I have the Carbon rom installed now, and I tried to flash my data (apps, etc.) back using TWRP. So I did, and stuff kept crashing left and right. I wiped and reflashed Carbon, and everythings fine. Is it not possible to restore my apps if I switched from AOKP to Carbon?

Apps yes system apps no system data no some apps data no id wait though for today's carbon it has several major fixes... Well worth waiting for... Lol, aokp source hasn't updated in two days ( the parts we use at least) but when I build it tonight I'm going to make sure those sabre fixes are in there I've never restored with twrp though I use titanium for my apps
So I updated the Carbon rom to the 9/09 one. After a day of use, there were no glitches, force-closes, crashes... pretty much flawless :good: I actually like it so much that I think I'll stick with your Carbon (over AOKP) for a while.
EDIT: I noticed that HDR isn't in the default camera application, and the HDR in the Focal camera app didn't apply HDR to the picture. Would it be possible for it to be added in? It worked well enough in 4.2.

Mokee e98X 2016-06-02

Is anybody using Mokee over here?
If I'm not wrong, in the past the rom was CM based. However, now it seems to be AOSP based.
What can you comment on its quality and community support?
Thx

On official CM 12.1 black screen bug is very annoying,everything else is quite good.

Sorry , because I am a Vietnamese , so my english is not perfect
Well, I decided to test the rom. Up to now I only noticed the following :
When I set Open Camera to HDR, after about 5 seconds the screen goes black and I found no way to get back at it without rebooting. Maybe, that's what @ShadySquirrel was working on before his device had USB problems.
On both Bliss and Slim, if you reboot while on LTE, when you get back at the home screen you'll notice you have no signal. Thus, the best way is changing to 3G before rebooting, and then changing again to LTE after the phone has restarted.
Mokee still has this same problem. However, up to now, it seems to be more stable.
For the rest, I'd say it's pretty smooth. No screen glitches whatsoever.
It has most feature Slim does, but what I miss is more about some design details that I eventually could try to request them later...
I really recommend moving to it as it seems like it has been developed and tested up to the last release. So, you'll surely find a level of stability we didn't have on lollipop.

If that happens in other apps, you have your culprit: PCC commit for kernel/updates for LiveDisplay in device tree.

I was until some days ago. But I had problems with the screen going black in some inconvenient moments. For example when I was driving somewhere I didn't know very well and had to reboot to get back with waze.
Thus, I went back to bliss but then I had sudden reboots that had the same effects as black screens while I was driving.
Well, to wrap up I'd recommend Mokee as long as your needs won't be much affected if a reboot is needed. It really is a smooth rom.
Oh, I didn't test bluetooth...
Anyway, I am posting to their g+ community right now pointing at that bug. Maybe they can do something about it.
BTW, if anybody decides to test Vanir, please share the experience.
Since yesterday I've decided to try the latest wild kernel with mokee again.
Up to now no black screens.
If something else happens I'll report back.
hello g0at1 i dont know if you been using an lg optimus g pro for a long time but i have buts its like all roms for the e980 have flashes for black screen and i wonder if does the mokee for the e980 also causes ur screen to get hot too cuz for my lg e980 screen gets hot near the home button from the different roms such as carbon rom which is the current rom im using and other roms such as cynogenmod and resurrection remix and please reply quickly becuz im so frustrated with this phone for a while now even though i have a big battery for it for 9300mah
Hey!
I have my G Pro since 2013.
Different from other roms, Mokee doesn't overheat. Even if you don't use it with wild kernel. However, with wild kernel I have had no black screens in a week.
Then, you should try it.
Well, I'm back to report that although I didn't have black screens in two weeks, I did have some screen flickering and they would only go away after a reboot.
I now think they've been blind building Mokee for our device for some time. Thus, I'm back at slim following @ShadySquirrel advice to try different governors in order to avoid rebooting.
I'm using Intelimm right now. Let's see if it'll reboot some time.
Previously I had tried Inteliactive and intelidemand... Both rebooted. Then, I checked kmsg and I did not find any dsp subsystem error.
As of right now I'm convinced that lg ogp doesn't react too well with the lollipop, regardless what flavor of rom. If it's not one problem, then it's another. As much I love this device, I really don't think it can be a stable device running anything more than the kitkat. Because with the lollipop, all the issues were never really fixed. Instead, they're merely are patched over, as if they're "duct taped" together to keep from falling apart. Which can't hide any of the problems for long. So as much as I hate to admit and tell you, no matter what combo you try, there is no way to make this device run well, while it's running any of the lollipop rom.

I went back to SlimLP. Only this time I'm using adaptative governor.
Also, I'm using Kernel Adiutor v2.0 and LMK set to aggressive.
I noticed that in my device this combination worked well.
After that, no more random reboots.
But I have it pretty clear, my next phone will be a nexus again...
Just don't know yet if I'll opt for the 6P or nexus 2016...

Anyone here still using CM11?

Just got a bit tired of little bugs in the CM13 based roms and thinking about switching back to CM11. The only concern is the lack of security updates after the maintainers abandoned the projects for newer android versions.
Did anyone here try downgrading? Or maybe never upgraded? Is it wise to do so?
Some of my issues with CM13 based roms which have put me off:
Insane lag when reciving calls
Adopting Storage doesn't work half the time
Front Camera crashes
Mobile Data issues
Lock Screen Wallpaper Issue
Music suspend bug
Battery drain Issue
LOL brother. I am still using CM 11 build 14/11/15 with Xcelerate kernel build 4/12/15.
I still used this OS as it gives me atleast 500+mb ram which I require a lot for gaming.
At battery 100%............(with airplane mode on)...wifi on After 3hrs of continuous wifi gaming my battery drops to around 20%.
So I guess battery life is good.......though i haven't activated any sim cards(that would be a different story)
I don't have any voice(call) related problem though. Only bug is HDR. Once a picture is clicked with HDR on, you have to exit camera to click again in HDR mode
I actually need a CM 13 rom which provide such performance.(I was thinking about Slim rom 0.4 by Aniket Lamba)
So if anyone can suggest me better rom then please let me know. For me stability & usability matters more than recent builds.
I always will appreciate any information whether good or bad
I used to like KK as it was last in the line of the Holo interface and it was the only 4.x available for our phone, so I used it for fairly long and didn't switch to LP until MM came around. Along with Xcelerate it was really good: decent battery life, smooth experience and fast charging. But now that I've grown to like the Material interface as well, I've been using MM more often these few months, especially Slim6, which I feel gives the same feel I used to get on KK: stability and smoothness.
KK is still one of my more favourite ROMs, but given that KK is mostly dead by now and there are more developments and features in LP and MM, I think I'll just stick to Slim6.

Some of my issues with CM13 based roms which have put me off:
Insane lag when reciving calls
Adopting Storage doesn't work half the time
Front Camera crashes
Mobile Data issues
Lock Screen Wallpaper Issue
Music suspend bug
Battery drain Issue

1) I don't get this
2) I don't use Adoptive Storage, heard it screws with WiFi
3) I don't get this (it has been fixed recently)
4) Depends on ROM
5) GravityBox (for AOSP MM), or this guide (which also works on CM13)
6) Disable MPDecision. Strangely when I downgraded to CM11 I was still getting the bug.
7) Depends on ROM
The issues I had with CM11 were generally the use of Apollo and the HDR issue as stated in the post before mine. And the music bug after downgrading. Apart from those I was happy with it, and I wouldn't mind a single bit to change back to it. I just don't understand the hate regarding KK, especially in the MIUI 8 thread...

Hate towards KK is only because most of the apps are working great in >LP than in KK. If MIUI with LP is given then it can be easily a great choice for armani. MIUI ram issues have sorted out but only thing is standby time(wifi on) is low.

The music bug persisting after the downgrade is what's keeping me back. I, too, don't use Adoptive storage for all the bugs it brings - even on AOSP. But this means I'm running out of space by the end of the month because of necessary evils like WhatsCrap.
The gravitybox mod is good to know, although I don't use xposed, but really is simply a hassle to effectively change your wallpaper - especially when I'm changing them every other week.
I've recently tried disabling MPDecision - the music seems to be playing fine but I can't help but notice sightly degraded performance all around.

Adoptive Storage is a hassle to set up: you need to format your SD card (which meant I had to shift everything out before converting it), and TWRP has no way to read such encrypted storage, so I didn't use it after the first time I tried it. Also you could do with regular housekeeping of your phone's storage; usually I keep WhatsApp images for a year before deleting them (after keeping the important ones and archiving the rest).

Xposed is very helpful, but if you don't want to use it then I won't force you.
Generally in those CM12/13 ROMs if I wanted to switch between lockscreen wallpapers I would leave a couple of those wallpapers in the /data/system/users/0 folder, just renamed to let me know which file is which wallpaper. Whenever I wanted to change them I just renamed them to the proper filename.

You don't have to leave MPDecision off the whole time: just disable it when listening to music, and re-enable it afterward.
Thank you everyone for your valuable comments:good:. It seems I can finally move on to CM 13:fingers-crossed:.(mostly slim6 version)
Note: I don't have music stop bug in CM11 though( may be related to firmware version or kernel. don't know why different people have different bugs:silly

What I think is that the KK firmware/modem we all flashed for CM13 builds has something to do with the music suspend bug. This is probably the reason why downgrading back to CM11/12.1 doesn't seem to fix this issue.
Anyway, seems like I'll just stick with CM13 for now.

Well not really, as the same v7.0.5.0 is used for CM11, 12 and early 13 builds. It's most likely a kernel issue, given that disabling MPDecision fixes it somewhat.

Most stable N7 ROM?

I've seen several N7 ROMs for N900T, but they all seem to have bugs and/or stability problems.
Which N7 ROM works best for everyone?
Darklord? AryaMOD? Mag-Ma-NX? Phronesis? Other? Thanks for all replies and especially any detailed experiences!

It depends on your preferences really. AryaMod and Phronesis are customizable, where Mag-Ma-Nx is a pure Note 7 ROM. For me personally I use Mag-Ma-NX because to me it's the most stable and complete Note 7 experience. I could never get mobile data to work with DarkLord so I never got to experience it to provide feedback. NFC doesn't work on any of them as we have a different baseband. Also the other ROMs do not have Flipboard Breifing. There are a few fix zips you need for Bluetooth and smart stay as well as Ultradata savings amd smart manager. I am also using DarkLord kernel as it is one of the only kernels that allow you to enable greyscale. But don't use DarkLord Kernal if you like to overclock or tweak because DarkLord isn't tweakable. Mag-Ma still has Dev support the others haven't seen updates for months. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I guess Darklord Kernel plays well with MagMa? That's the ROM I ended up with. Couple issues (camera keeps FC'ing, something keeps waking the screen, couple other small gripes) but I'm new to it so there might be fixes.
Does DarkLord Kernel have solid performance and battery on MagMa? Thanks!

Dark Lord Kernel does well for my use. The kernel that comes with MagMa would do better for you if you have knowledge of over clocking and tweaking for performance and better battery life. I'm not a gamer so I have no need for that. The camera issue seems to be more stable when selecting the S7edge version from aroma installer. The Note 7 camera is sketchy. I haven't experienced the screen waking issue but I do know there is a Smart Stay zip fix floating around in that thread that could help with that. There is also a setting, Keep Screen Turned Off, that you could activate under the Dispay setting that may help too. Good luck to you bro.

Great to know. i don't game either, just want stable performance and battery. I'll try Dark Lord Kernel. Yeah, the N7 or S7E cameras gave me nothing but problems in MagMa. I listed them out there, but basically they crashed too much and didn't give real benefit over N4 camera. NXTeam vastly improved the N7 camera in the latest MagMa release (UX), but it still has a delay on tap focus. That ruins it for me. Only the N4 camera does instant tap focus. Also, MagMa has an issue right now with resizing videos for text. Can't do it unless you record the video in text quality directly from Messages. Surprised at that, but hopefully it'll get fixed in a future release.
I'll try the kernel. Thanks!
Seems everyone I try, I get a bootloop once the SIM is in. I'm on att with n900t phone. Any ideas?
