I would be careful there, if you plan on porting roms, try and stick with D802 and yes you need a kernel, however thats for ports
Most custom roms support our beloved D803 now anyway so really no need to port. So find a rom you like and most like a D803 variant will be available.

the hottest atm are lollipop roms. Currently running AICP nightlies. There is an extra step as lollipop roms are based on JB sources and require a JB baseband(radio, modem) for rotation to work. Be sure to bavk up efs when missing with basebands and stick with D803. Good luck. cheers

Hi Dene. I've recently switched to the AICP LP Nightly and am liking it so far (don't love it yet, but it'll grow on my I'm sure and it fixes a couple problems I had with the KK releases.) Switching back to the ClaroPR JB baseband has brought back the echo problem I had before. Do you know if I can use the Rogers baseband, since the phones are physically the same? It really sucks that we can't use the KK baseband because the signal is better with it.

Its actually hard to find dr87 files these days. dr87 aosp kk basebands worked great when i had the g2. even on the jb required lollipop roms for the d803. I am no longer on G2 so messages and questions are forwared to the wife ha GL

Hi Dene,

Just came across this, and perhaps this might be answer to my issues. Perhaps you can verify if this is my issue. Im currently using the Vanir lollipop rom which i think is great, but I cant for the life of me get any MMS pictures. I had resurrection remix and had the same problem so i flashed new rom. But its not been resolved. Above your talk of using a JB baseband seems very odd and I have to backup EFS b4 I flash a new one? Will this solve the MMS issue? What I dont get is I can send MMS. Just cant recieve. No issues with texting.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for quick reply! I did check the APN and actually deleted it and reentered everything. Verified settings according to whats online. Been using chomp sms as well. Never had a problem before LP roms.

Is this not the reason why we have to download D803 specific roms so that these baseband issues are correct for D803?

Ill try hangouts.

I actually feel for the claro users, i have been used to choices. but bare in mjnd that we do share the same variant and such should be downloading the same variant roms and kernels. Oh and btw i fired up my pc today and found a flashable claro jb rom lol

it sucks they didnt upgrade to kk but luckily lollipop roms are based on jb sources so its a win win for claro users. D803 FTW @Hightower68 pm me please

Go figure. Been a while since using JB.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware you had changed phones. I haven't done anything, but ever since that first day other phone calls seem to be fine. No one else has complained about echoes. As far as LP goes, I'm liking it so far even though there is less customization available on it so far. I'm on AICP nightly. I've thought about upgrading my phone as I seem to have a penchant for acquiring red headed stepchild devices lol. My first Android was an HTC Amaze 4G, which was a great phone but apparently was only a holdover between the Sensation and the One series, so support was dropped pretty quickly. Anyway, I'm going to stay with this one for now as it is a great phone and there is active development for it still. Maybe I'll get a Nexus 6 in a few months when the prices come down.

ClaroPR G2 on Cloudy ROM issues, Lolli update?

I decided to to donate my G2 to cousin from Peru. Reverted to stock Claro KK from AOSP Lollipop and then flashed CloudyROM. It worked fine for her for a while, full spanish support, great camera app and so forth. Recently she brought it to me because keyboard stopped working correctly, some letters are not working ("r", "x", some others and randomly). I tried the most obvious to install some keyboard apps and it didn't work. It might be an issue of the touch screen. Still I want to try to update it up to stock Lollipop and to check if the issue disappears. So the question is what is the most reliable (bugless) stock based ROM with spanish language support? Thanks in advance, Alex!

Does anyone know if Lollipop is going to be released for the D803 devices ? Already the 980 G2 have gotten official updates, the D802/801 have received open source kernel code (and ROM update is imminent). The code for the kernels have been released for many weeks now... but nothing for the D803. Does anyone know what's the deal ?

Telus has it planned for "a near future" and Rogers won't tell anything yet... I don't think it will be available for Q1 since only a month left till Q2. Can't find more info anywhere yet.

    First off, I'm not by any remote chance a developer or anything of the sort, I'm just your typical flashaholic enthusiast who thought he bought the wrong model phone, as development for the Canadian D801/D803 is seriously lacking. All I'm trying to do in this thread is trying to bring every bit and pieces of its development into a single thread. I'll try and give credit where credit is due, so please, if you believe you are the one to credit for something I post, let me know so I can give you the corresponding credit.

    I cannot stress enough, please do a Nandroid backup before you attempt ANYTHING! I will not be held responsible for anything you do to destroy your phone! You have been warned!

    Phone models compatible with this thread:

    *Claro PR D801
    *Wind Mobile D801
    *Videotron D801
    *Rogers D803
    *Bell D803
    *Telus D803
    T-Mobile D801 is NOT compatible




    Install TWRP Recovery on LG G2 Running Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM (All Models))

    If you lose knock on/off feature, just dial 3845#*80x# (change x for phone version)
    Then go to setting and update touchscreen firmware. Thanks to @Rotopeon for the heads up!



    Now to the good stuff!


    I'll first post the kernels that are compatible with this phone; to me, this piece of the puzzle alone is the most important to me, as this allows you to basically flash any rom you like to this phone.



    Unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 for the LG G2 D803

    Say thanks to @zr239 in his thread for this!




    Kernels

    1- Wootever kernel
    Just click the one that reads (d803-custom-05) [Canada]. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.

    2-Furnace kernel
    Download the one that says D803 (for BOTH, do NOT download the one that says D801!) This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.

    3- Dorimanx kernel
    Download the one that says D803, flash in recovery

    4- Stock Claro PR (D801) kernel
    File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D801 phones and D803. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!

    5- Stock D803 kernel
    File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D803 phones and D801. This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!

    6- Houstonn's D803 AOSP Kernel 01-20-2014

    7- Simple Kernel (Kit Kat compatible kernel)


    Root


    1- Kingo ROOT
    This is how I personally have rooted various LG G2 phones; to me, it's the single, most easiest way to root almost ANY JB device. Try and see if this works for you.

    2- Alternate root method
    Try this if Kingo fails for you

    Modems


    By cross compatibility, it's implied that you will not cripple your phone if you flash any of these modems to a compatible phone: signal quality and end user experience may vary, so test whichever is better for you. If LTE goes missing on your phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, and in phone info, and select the LTE option. There's also apps in the Play Store that can do this for you.. Although these have been tested already, you never know when the planets will align and make thing go awry, so always make a nandroid, and please BACKUP YOUR EFS IF YOU'RE GOING TO MESS WITH MODEMS!


    1- Stock D801 Claro PR modem
    Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.


    2- Rogers stock D803 modem
    Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.


    3- Stock Bell D803 Modem
    Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.


    4- T-Mobile stock modem
    Flash this radio to you D801/D803, if, after flashing a T Mobile based rom, you get lousy signal. Will not brick/erase/destroy your phone. Flash via recovery.


    5- KK Baseband If you're planning on upgrading to Kit Kat from 4.2.2 JB or AOSP, FLASH this file (baseband) before flashing the kit kat rom of your choice




    Roms

    Just download your favorite rom file, flash it via recovery, and IMMEDIATELY afterwards, flash one of the provided kernels in this thread! If you don't do this, you'll end up in fastboot!

    1- Stock Bell Rom (rooted)

    2- AOSP Roms: sweet compilation by @Dene_Bluesman!

    3- Stock Claro PR Kit Kat KDZ file (Flash stock Claro ROM 4.2.2 JB, then flash this; if you do not, you'll be stuck on 49%)

    4- Flashable Bell stock Kitkat D803B20e

    5- Flashable Rogers stock Kit Kat D803R20D

    6- Liquid Smooth AOSP


    Recovery


    1- TWRP 2.6.3.2

    Bell Mobile

    Roger Mobile (Also compatible with Claro PR)


    2- TWRP 2.6.3.4
    Download the file named (d803-twrp-recovery) [Canada], and flash it via custom recovery


    3- Philz Recovery



    To flash:

    Download the above file and place it in /sdcard on your device. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:

    su

    dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

    Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!


    Or if you comfortable with it, just Flashify the file :)


    Here's a D803 Build prop just in case you need it

    D803 Stock Build Prop





    I'll add more stuff as needed, let me know if you need anything else and I'll post it here!

    Took me a while to find this on my old posts, but here it is. This should work with EVERY d802 kitkat aosp based ROM out there so here it goes:

    All you have to do is look for the Meta-inf folder>Com>Google>Android and the updater-script file should be there. Download Notepad ++ and open the updater script with it.

    The first lines that you have to edit should look like this:



    assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d802" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d802" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "g2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "g2" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "galbi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galbi" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "d800" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d800" || abort("This package is for \"d802,g2,galbi,d800\"
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Edit them so it looks exactly like this, and make sure to keep the same format. All you have to do is change the "d802" and "galbi" for "d803"

    Like this:
    assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d803" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d803" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "g2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "g2" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "d803" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d803" ||
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "d800" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d800" || abort("This package is for \"d802,g2,galbi,d800\"
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    After that, replace the boot.img with the Furnace Kernel boot.img (the one made for aosp, it works with most 4.4 roms), save and close the zip. Put it in your phone and flash, along with the G-apps and optionally the QuickRemote.zip if you want to get remote functionality.

    If you don't feel comfortable with replacing the boot.IMG yourself, skip the boot.IMG replacing part and go straight ahead and flash the modified ROM.zip and afterwards flash the furnacekernel.zip

    If I didn't make things understandable, just say it and I'll take the time to explain more when I get home. I'm replying from the phone and its kinda hard to do quotes and stuff on chrome :)

    Cyanogenmod11 M3

    Hi All

    I have put together a D803 version of CM11 M3 snapshot release based on the D802 version of CM11. I replaced the kernel with the D803 furnace 1.52 kernel (not OC). I also edited the build.prop to allow for mutliple users. I just installed it myself and it seems to be working OK.

    Going forward I will store my CM11 Canadian versions here and I will probably port some of the nightlies over (not every night, but maybe weekly or so):

    http://d-h.st/users/peliopoulos/?fld_id=32811#files

    At some point I might put out an unofficial D803 thread.
