Hello all! Newbie here, recently switched from an iphone to an Android (Definitely not a decision I'm regretting). I have the Sprint LS980 LG G2 on the shipping firmware (Jellybean, 4.2 I believe) I've already got it rooted, but no custom recovery nor custom ROM installed. Now, I was doing some reading and found the only way to tether (without pdanet) would be to flash a custom ROM that removes the check to see if I have the tethering plan. (Apologies if this topic is against the rules, but I don't think it is, I read the rules.)
I'm pretty well with technology and can likely get through the flashing process myself, I just have a few questions first.
1. Custom recoveries- TWRP is the only one I've heard of, and from what I understand custom recoveries are important since data can be lost during a flash, should I use TWRP or do you suggest a different one?
2. The ROM, what size are ROM files generally? I can't download super large files due to slow connection.
3. Can I get a ROM just like stock Jellybean that just has the hotspot check removed? I'm just now learning stock Android and am not ready to learn an entirely new custom ROM.
Thank you every one for help in advance. I will be doing reading on the subject while waiting on responses so I might update the post if I find an answer elsewhere. Thanks again!
