Also, how to use ART
MikeEx Posted (Couldn't quote or it wouldn't show red on XDA app):
Remove your phone from any case and place in front of a fan where the top front and back receive air flow.
The phone will get extremely hot (80*C+) if left uncooled while ART compiles everything. This could be a total brick hazard.
Having around 200 apps could take well over 10 minutes.
ART will recompile every time you flash a new nightly.

Do I have to use CWM to flash this? Has anybody used flashify on our phone? How's Wi-Fi? I'm full of Qs but I'm dying to run a 4.4 that isn't from mako sources.

Use CWM, I believe there's an updated version that someone built (it's in the cwm recovery thread towards the last couple pages). Flashify works on LGOG as that's what I used to flash the cwm touch img file. Wifi works on my end. I flashed the 11/30 build and then dirty flashed 12/03 build.

I realize this is probably buggy but is it worth the switch from 10.2 to use as a dd? What if I want to go back? All my backups are TWRP

Use online nandroid backup to make a CWM backup without CWM

WiFi is hit or miss for certain people. You must use clockworkmod recovery. I will add links to op here in a min. I use flashify and it worked just fine.

Hey add a warning to OP for using ART. Red bold letters. something like:
Remove your phone from any case and place in front of a fan where the top front and back receive air flow.
The phone will get extremely hot (80*C+) if left uncooled while ART compiles everything. This could be a total brick hazard.
Having around 200 apps could take well over 10 minutes.
ART will recompile every time you flash a new nightly.

Wifi works fine for me at home but at work it will not connect.

Basically everything worked for me except video recording and playback. Try recording a video in snapchat and see what happens.
That said, the camera works better than on the other 4.4 ROMs. No autofocus issues and no weird coloration issues, no capture rate issues either.

Still can't connect to my work wifi after a dirty flash. Going to try clean here in a minute. Strange though how I can connect to some routers but not others.... They are both WPA security

Ran the 12/3 build all night last night - dirty flashed up from the latest 10.2 build just for kicks.
Initial boot the OS was just crawling (likely dirty flash issue) - 2nd boot brought everything back to life and been fine since.
Not running ART just yet - need to verify and trim down my 200 app list lol (plus I don't want to lose Xposed just yet)
3G/4G both work great
Wifi worked fine at 3 different locations
GPS worked great
Auto Focus of course works fine
USB Tether works (woot!) and no long kills my phones USB connection when un-tethering (double woot!)
BT worked fine
NFC Works
Audio book played without any audio distortions/glitches (issue in another KK rom)
Google Nav/Maps is still using the wrong voice - an issue I had in the 10.2 build which may have carried over due to dirty flashing. The other KK rom I use uses the correct voice.
Using the PA Gapps Mini-Mod package
Had to reset my battery meter setting since the 10.2 option doesn't exist (yet) in 11 - had me confused for a bit since I had >no< battery meter lol
Aside from having to use CWM, this is pretty dang slick so far.

has the updater been implemented? The one really cool thing I liked about CM

What is ART? Is it optional?

i've never had these issues myself, but i can see why they would arise. i think a warning or piece of advice should be mentioned stating that if someone plans on using ART, they should enable it immediately upon rom installation, before other apps are installed. that way, optimization isn't as tedious of a process

I'm having issues with it as well. Sometimes it sits there thinking it works, other times it waits a few seconds and then crashes. It worked for a day...not sure what I did past that to break it.

Is there anyway to overclock the latest update? I know I can't install a new kernel with this ROM.
Also, any option for Volume Rocker unlock? I'm new to this ROM, coming from CM. I kinda rely on that option, since my power button is kinda on the fritz.

Which gapps package are you using? I'm using the modular mini. Try another clean flash (sorry) and use a different package than you are now.

aaa

I've tried a lot of KitKat ROMs, but each one with a lot of issues. So I came back to the 4.3, it surprised me for his stability (1 year with bugged ROM make you feel that your phone sucks more than it actually does [no, it doesn't, I love it!]) and I decided to don't try your FML. Now I can't wait for Lollipop, and even if I haven't tried your ROM, I trust in it and I think it will be the best choice. Good work and thanks!

Could some1 possibly upload a video of this good work ? Got a maguro and I'm very curious
thx in advance!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus FML Lollipop
Hello. I hope this is the right place to post this. I have less than 10 posts so I have to post here...
I've tried to install your FML rom (the lollipop beta) on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I seem to be having the same issue that coleburns is having. Namely, I flashed the rom from recovery, but when I reboot the phone, it shows the Google splash screen and then keep rebooting over and over again.
I understand that the first boot is supposed to take some time, but I've left it for over an hour and it still won't boot into the OS. Is there a step I'm missing?
I'm using the custom version of TWRP that you linked to in the first post. I also formatted all the partitions to ext4. Before flashing the rom, I performed the factory reset from recovery and also cleared the /system folder.
I've managed to load on the KitKat version of your ROM just fine...I can't work out what I'm doing wrong!
Anyway, if you need some logs or something to help debug the issue, let me know. Or, if I'm doing something wrong, could you please let me know? I'm very keen to try Lollipop!
Thanks.

lollipop build 2
Haven't seen anybody ask... In your changelog for lollipop you said the rom takes a VERY LENGTHY FLASH TIME. Are we looking at 5 minutes or more?
edit: VERY LONG... over 5 minutes for me

This is the best rom ever!
When you said, "These builds are very early! They aren't daily-driver-stable, but they are progressing extremely fast." I was expecting junk, then I tried it. I was a big fan of your kit kat rom as well but once I tried this android l rom I fell in love. I have used this all day and it is extremly stable. The only bug I have to report that isnt even a need is the app drawer is the app drawer animation is very laggy. I tried enableing 2d gpu acceleration just in case that had something to do with it but it still didnt help. Any suggestions would be great. Oh and yes I have tried closing other apps, multitasking is no issue with this rom, the memory management is great. I thank you so much for such a great rom, keep up the amazing work.

Installing TWRP Problem
So I am currently on CWM and am trying to switch over to TWRP. I'm have a slight problem. When I install TWRP (via twrp manager app), I am also using the recommended custom twrp from the first post. It installs successfully, then I go into reboot options and reboot into recovery...and it's still CWM. I've tried it multiple times. I am rooted, I do have busybox installed, I can't figure out what the problem is. IM STUCK WITH CWM, HALP!

Download the file in the OP for FML (twrp 2.7.1). Flash with Flashify. Reboot to recovery.

Don't worry too much about it not working. It's fully working for me but it's pretty slow when you actually need to use it. If you get it going it will pick up the pace, but it's far from usable, being in an app for longer than a minute and touching the home screen button will freeze it up for 10 seconds before it takes you to an empty screen that takes another few seconds to load all the apps and widgets back in. I'd wait for a newer release.

Feedback
Hello i have tried the older version and it was great but i really need my camera so i went back to 4.4 but i appreciate you so much thanks !
Please fix the camera asap and i will definitely install this rom ! and i tried to install the new version but it said Error Binary something in TWRP recovery what can i do thanks!

Q
Is the camera fixed yet?

Notification Light
Is there a way to disable the notification light while the phone is plugged in via USB? It's a little annoying to be on while I'm sleeping. It's not a huge issue though.

I don't think so.

I found that the miscellaneous section of the battery stats was taking up most of the battery usage. I don't have any apps installed other than the stock standard.

[Q] Is there a stable version of Cyanogenmod for Xperia M?

Sorry if i make any errors or mistakes. I just spent the last 20 minutes on creating this thread and in the end, made me login again and guess what - everything i typed went away.
My phone is sony Xperia M C1904 single sim, running android 4.3 stock(latest).
This is the first time i am rooting.
I am doing it because
1) Low free space thanks to Sony's bloatware.
2) Expected them to atleast give Kitkat as they were supposed to.
3) Need app to sd
I need a stable version of cyanogenmod for my phone.
Does updating work like normal? Like, do i just use update center and download the new version updates(like perform all steps and install once, then use as usual), or do i have to flash again and again?
Is there any feature that i won't be able to use? It will only be better right?
Can the process be done on the phone itself via sd card after downloading everything necesary, or do i have to install/flash it while connected to pc?
Please explain in detail.

1. stable CM12 yet to be released, please go to cyanogenmod site and look for device Nicki
2. from my personal exp. updating work like normal update. you need to enable root and other feature from setting.
3. i am using link2sd and successfully managed to cap the space <800 MB. currently 1.2+GB is free on my XMS.
4. only thing i hate, after update you need to grant access to link2sd so that your app can comes back.
5. you can check change log in cm site for each nightly, i.e. 12-20150322 nightly has an issue on mobile network check/uncheck while using wifi.
6. you need to flash cm12 and gapps on each update.

CM11 seems to be quite stable.
Sometimes Google Play Services crash but it got better after I switched from dalvik cache to art. If you reboot your phone once or twice a week CM11 works great.
Battery life on the other side is really bad compared to stock 4.3 rom. (On Stock Rom I had to charge every 5 days, with CM11 every 2)
There are no updates for CM11 anymore, so no need for that.
If you want something that just works, go for CM11 and wait until CM12 gets a final realease. Otherwise you have to deal with bugs, even worse battery life and flash your stuff again after an update.

Thanks, but what exactly does this disable? No idea what DroidGuardService is and how it is needed....
Are you using your phone a lot of times during the day? If yes, there is not much difference for me either.
But often times during a busy week at work I barely use it and in this situations stock did last way longer than CM11.

So my experience so far. If you disable this, most apps can't get your location over Wifi anymore or if they do, it is not really exact.
Had some Llama rules with Wifi which are not working anymore and my weather app can't find my location when connected to Wifi.
Had to enable it again...

Bumping?

Hi everyone.
I'm a bit confusing after reading a lot of threads in LG G3 about bumping... I've tried to make my mind, but can't understand properly how that works, coming to a LG G3 from a Nexus 4 (who has suddenly died after a fall), and a couple of Samsung tablets, where I had just to install a custom recovery to flash new roms/kernels, root, nandroid, etc.
Is this different in LG phones?
I've saw a thread with a bumped TWRP, and another one that seems to give instructions to install usual TWRP. There are roms/kernels that seem to be bumped an other ones that say nothing about that...
Can't be just flashed a recovery on a rooted phone and then used to flash anything else?
Bumped TWRP admits just bumped rom/kernels?
Usual TWRP admits bumped rom/kernels or just non-bumped ones?
Which are the advantages/risks of using a bumped or not TWRP?
I'm really lost about all that that seems to be just LG related...
And another set of questions (that will be more a question of preferences, though...):
I like to have my phone set to my taste. I can see 3 options. I would like to know, not so much which one is better (each one will say the option he's using, as logical), but which are the advantages/risks/problems with any of them in this concrete phone:
a) Using stock (rooted, with a custom kernel -which one?-, and with the xposed LG G3 set of options).
b) An AOSP derived ROM (non CM... there are few, it seems), with quick circle module, and any camera that improves AOSP one. And a kernel if that improves the one in the ROM
c) A CM based ROM (seem to be more of that) with same additions.
After some reading, I see many people complaining that the nice camera in this phone is only working fine in stock. But I don't know if that's really so much worse as to stick on stock, even if xposed enables a lot of customization... When I want serious photos, I use my DSLR... so I just want the camera to behave nice, and do a good work when I'm just doing occasional photo. But I don't want a nearly broken camera, of course...
On the other side, AOSP based ROM's seem to be, not only more clean and customizable, but better in battery management (and less overheating). But some people says CM based ones are no so much so... Don't know what to think about that.
And I'm not sure how the quick circle mod is working on AOSP or CM ROMs (I have an original case, so, it would be nice to use it...)
Sorry for so many questions, but I have the feeling that LG is a bit "another world" from Nexus (freedom......) or Samsung, where everything is like just flash and go...
And thanks everyone reading this!
:good::good::good:

Hi,
It is not that complicated.
First part. Root the phone and then install TWRP. There are few threads about how to do it.
Second part. Stock based roms work fine. AOSP based roms are smoother but camera quality and battery performance are worse. Depends on what you need.

So, bumping question is nothing to think about? That's good news, then is just setting TWRP and done, like any other device. Thanks for that!

Yes, for the most part, as all of the custom/aftermarket recovery images and ROMs are already 'bumped', and 'bumping', in the context of LG smartphone and tablets, is simply appending a signature key to make sure that the bootloader gives the custom recovery/ROM package the approval to be installed.
You ONLY need to 'bump' an image if the image you want to install has not been signed, which is rare as like I said, almost all of the custom recovery/ROM images are 'bumped', and if you do come across a situation that requires you to 'bump' an image, there's an offline tool that works on Microsoft Windows that is simply called 'Bump!!!', which can sign, or 'bump' an unsigned image and it only takes a few seconds to do that as it is easy to do.
As for setting up your LG device, in the case of the LG G3, root your phone first - rooting an LG device on the stock Lollipop ROM can be done with this script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
After you have rooted your phone, Install AutoRec for your LG device and remember to choose the version that matches your phone model number (e.g. LG G3 D855) - this will Install the TeamWin Recovery Project recovery image onto your phone.
Once that is done, you can now choose a ROM that you want to install - most ROMs obviously come in flashable ZIP form, so pick your poison and Install via recovery mode - most people love the certain blue poison that is Cyanogenmod but others may try CloudyG3, which is an LG ROM-based custom ROM - like ypsmav said, it depends what features you are after the most - if you prioritise unlimited tethering and Miracast over other features, choose CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based custom ROM, or if you prioritise camera quality and vendor-exclusive features over other features, then choose Cloudy ROM or any other vendor-based custom ROM.
Have fun!

Thanks for your time and counsels, @aha360 and @ypsmav
Now, I know what we are talking about
:good:
from Nexus 4

I'm still unable to update from TWRP 2.8.6.0 to anything newer - I have an Lg G3 F400K on Android 5.0, stock rooted. I was able to use AutoRec to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0, but then flashing 3.0.2.0 gives me the 'secure boot' error when trying to boot into recovery. I've tried:
1) flashing through TWRP
2) Rashr
3) Flashify
Any further ideas? Will it work if I change roms? Is it related to the SD card? (I saw something on this thread which I didn't quite understand)

Question Opinions about preferred custom roms differences and why do you choose it ?

Wanted to keep a thread for each one opinion on custom roms and why do you choose the rom you are using?
i have tried al custom roms and i always love to flash different ones,
What do you notice regarding stability? performance? battery ? bugs? etc in the rom you are using.
Love to hear all your opinions on this matter.

last time i flashed a custom ROM 10years ago. No need to flash anything since. All factory stock.
All i did for every phone is bloatware removal via ADB

I've only ever used the stock rom since I've had this phone. Using A11, A12 and now A13.
Only 1 annoyances during my time with this phone and stock ROM. ( Camera related blue light bleeding in a very bright artificially lit scenario )

Always stock rom with Root these days

Holy smokes. It's ok to not answer a question if it doesn't apply. Pardon my double negative.
I've been contemplating moving on from to stock to custom, when I came across this thread and thought, well this will be great; several viewpoints about several custom roms, but instead came across a few responses that didn't answer the question that was asked.
It's hard to sift though the roms' threads because, in most cases, you'll see "this is a great rom, everything works perfectly", almost immediately followed by "stuck in a boot loop", "looks like msm again", or "xyz is borked, please fix".
So, to reiterate og's question, what are the thoughts on the custom roms (not stock) for the 1+9pro (not a device from your past)?

Nameless seems to be the most stable out of the custom roms, but lacks more in depth customization. CrDroid and Watchdog are better for customization, but more features usually means more bugs.
I've tried tons of the roms on here and will probably continue to do so as stock OOS just doesn't do it for me. Battery isn't ideal, and aesthetically it's hard to configure to what I like. It definitely works for a lot of people as it has many features and is mostly stable.

You favor nameless I'm guessing?

It depends on the day honestly. I have a disease, haha. As of right now that's what I'm using. But I'm sure I will flash something else here in the next week.

I'm currently on stag os 13, beta from october with a pair of important bugs... however probably I will flash another one tomorrow. I have to decide first which one xD
However I would ask you what are the steps now for flashing another android 13 rom, considering I'm on android 13 and I prefer not do a clean install (dont want to do any wipes as I have my phone tweaked and fully oriented for privacy)

Los20 Google free
Without gapps, store and ps apps

been on nameless for about 6 months, no complaints

Running my own fork of LineageOS 19 with features cherry-picked from other ROMs (nothing against them but I don't need the extra 30 fazillion features they offer when a handful of features I want does the job just fine). Once LineageOS 20 builds resume with fixes for some of the major issues in place (see the LOS 20 thread for OP9Pro), I'll be upgrading to the New Hotness (I've already made the necessary changes and tested them on my OP7Pro test phone, I'm just waiting for the all-clear for the OP9Pro).

Oof, that's a tough one. You could *attempt* to do a dirty flash of the rom you're wanting to flash. Although, I wouldn't recommend. I've read that people do it with little side effects, but I've also seen people with lots of bugs.
What I typically do is use swiftbackup for SMS and apps, then just restore those on the new rom. But, depending on what tweaks you've applied, that might make things more difficult. As far as I know, there's not a way to restore everything, especially if the tweaks are specific to the rom. Maybe someone else might know a way?

I kept mine as stock w/root since I got it. Just reflashed and I was blown away with how much nicer it feels. Even with the amount of work I'd done to kill bloatware, background processes, etc on the stock rom.

thanks for your answer mate
I didn't touch anything specific to the rom nor kernel. Only much app config and some processes freezing.
So I will save apps+data with my old friend titanium backup pro, don't know another method to do :/
By the way, I will lose root if I do clean flash or can I save that any way?
I guess a clean flash instructions should be something like this?
Extract recovery package zip
Reboot to bootloader & connect your phone to PC
Double click on flash.bat
Reboot to recovery home page & tap Factory reset > Format data/factory reset
Back to recovery home page & tap > Apply update > Apply from ADB
Now sideload rom using command adb sideload <rom_filename>.zip
Now reboot to system.

Of course, glad I could contribute. Swiftbackup will do data for apps as well, but titanium backup should work too if that's what you prefer.
Yep, there's a couple ways to do it, and that will work. As far as root, you will definitely lose it, but you can either sideload magisk:
- download magisk APK and rename to .zip file
- after sideloading rom finishes, reboot to recovery
- sideload magisk.zip
Or
- follow root guide on this forum

Tried about every rom posted that I can find. A lot of nice roms, depends on what you want for customization. The one I prefer is Xtended. Been back and forth since A11 each one a little nicer. The latest -- v5 is best for me. I always go back to it. Currently on stock OOS13. Not all that bad with little tweaking. My disappointment is the lack of kernel development for the phone after A11. I guess the sources released by OnePlus a mess. Waiting for Ancient to be released. Could be nice.

really appreciate your help man, I had forgotten the steps to do root in only 3 months hahaha, my memory is awesome
I followed the method u mention and worked fine
For my words seems I am a newbie but only old hahahah, don't blame on me. I'm on this world of customization/tweaking phones since the old htc one and the first iPhone, so every day it costs me more as I increase my laziness year every passing year xD

Haha, glad I could help! Memory is my biggest downfall as well, so you're not alone lol

Other backup options I like - tarb and Neo Backup. Swift I don't like because it only stores the latest backup, and the google play tied licensing is annoying when bouncing between various devices.
Used to love titanium backup but it never works successfully for me anymore
