hey guys! I just flashed this rom and lost the root. I tried to install superuser and it's not installing due to binary not upto date or something. I came from rootbox rom. Please help.

Manually installed Phil's cwm. Directions are in the link on his thread.

Also I had to install busybox to get root apps to work. This can be easily done from the busy box app in play store after supersu is flashed.

You have to flash supersu. Link in OP.

If root still fails you needs to flash Phil's cwm. Sk8 cwm will not flash supersu1.65 correctly

Everything worked well. Thanks to all.

It would seem with launcher3 Google now features do not work. "OK Google" is not recognized and the settings option accessed from the menu hardware button does nothing.

Just uninstall it using TiBu (mentioned in Houston's original thread by someone, sorry) and reinstall from Play Store.

This will indeed fix the FC problem, but the calendar will not sync without that file. My calendar sync settings will not stick.

houstonn this is why I love your work. You are one of the only devs that I have seen that gets things out this quick. Thank you for all of the hard work man, I am download right now and I can't wait to flash this bad boy. Though I do have a question. Does this have the navbar installed, and if it does can you deactivate it?

There are no onscreen nav buttons; just the native capacitive ones on the LGOG are functional.

Some notes:

- with the V2 build NFC was something I could disable/enable by checkbox, and I did disable it almost immediately because within a minute of first installing that build I checked the battery usage and it was pulling 27%!!! However, in the V3 build the NFC is enabled and ghosted - it can't be disabled and it just chugs that battery for whatever reason so it needs to be addressed I suppose

- the ART thing is known so I'm not going to even bother enabling it at this point or else I'll find myself with 100+ FCs when I reboot; I'm sure that'll work itself out as time passes and more is learned about ART (the newer compiler that is set to replace Dalvik)

Aside from that everything seems to be working that I can test. I don't use Bluetooth much so someone else can report on that aspect, Wi-Fi connects fast and seems fine. Still can't get my damned LTE on T-Mobile but that's another thread or two all by itself and not related to this ROM at all. Screenshots are working fine (some below), no visual tearing noted with the newer kernel houstonn created, etc. Funny thing is that

If you want to add widgets, tap Menu from the Home screen and select it - there's no way to get to it from the apps menu anymore, must be a change in KitKat I suppose.

When you tap Menu from the Home screen you'll see Wallpapers/Widgets/Settings - Settings doesn't actually open the full settings menu, it opens the Search & Now card settings (I guess that's Google Now related stuff that I don't use). So to get to the actual settings, it's either Home then the Settings icon in the apps drawer, or pull down from the Notification bar and select the icon as usual.

That's all I've noted for this build so far... thanks again, houstonn.

I was able to disable NFC. Some times on the first boot after flashing a new ROM on this device, you have to disable NFC and then reboot for the setting to stick. Also disable beam before disabling NFC.

I get all that, but it was never an option to disable it - ever since I installed V3 about 1.5 hours ago, the NFC/Android beam option has been ghosted and non-selectable. I figured "Ok, even though I can't select it I'll tap it anyway then reboot..." and still it shows checked, still it shows the NFC service running, and still it is chugging away that battery.

Will probably reflash here in a bit and check it out a second time and see what happens.

NFC works fine for me (clean flashed v2 with NFC fix, dirty flashed v3).

My only issue is with Calendar. I uninstalled it and resintalled from the market, but when I open it, it prompts me to sign in, and then refuses to do so.

Edit: One other thing, BetterBatteryStats doesn't seem to want to work, it just gives me an error reading "The 'batteryinfo' service could not be accessed. If this error persists after a reboot please contact the dev and provide your ROM/Kernel versions". I googled around a bit, and it seems like a common thing with Kitkat.

Has anyone else encountered this, or, Has anyone Not gotten an error trying to run BBS?

When you try to uncheck NFC, it looks like it's freezing up and doesn't do anything. It still shows checked but greyed out. Reboot.

For the calendar issue just select not now when it asks to sign in. You will have access to calendar but sync will now work. I believe certain sync files are missing.

As for apps like BBS, I'm sure many apps may not work for 4.4 yet. It's usually always like that for a few weeks after a major os upgrade as the app devs need to add support for them to work.

In the gapps folder there seems to be two files, gapps-kk-4.4-20131031.zip and pa_gapps-mini-4.4-20131101a-signed.zip. Should I flash both? Or which one specifically?

houstonn recommends the pa_gapps iirc.

How do I set my lockscreen wallpaper separate of my home screen. I can't find the option.

Edit: Also does this ROM support LTE or do I need to download a radio?

If you want to fix calendar sync here is a link to the missing apk. All I did was download and install it and now my calendar syncs correctly.

Note I had uninstalled the system version of the calendar via titanium backup and installed the playstore version prior to doing this so I have no idea if this will work on the system calendar or not.

This ROM is a basic as it gets. So it probably does not have that feature.

As long as you have a LTE capable radio and the correct apns, LTE should work unless you have T-Mobile... Then its hit or miss. Regardless LTE should have nothing to do with the ROM.

If you're using AT&T or whatever the stock JB AT&T radio should (and does) still work fine. If you're using T-Mobile, as just noted above, it's hit or miss - there are a few people including myself that had and I repeat HAD LTE working with my/our T-Mobile service, for a short period of time, using the stock JB AT&T radio on the device just by adding the proper APN for T-Mobile (fast.t-mobile.com) and then for some unknown reason we can't figure out it just stops working after a random period of time.

So, again, if you're using T-Mobile, you may or may not get T-Mobile LTE working with any given radio (as long it supports LTE, that is), there's no way to know without trying I suppose. The stock JB AT&T radio on my LGOG picks up the T-Mobile LTE RAT but won't do anything with it anymore...
