Known Issues & Fixes:

Boot loop when booting into TWRP with USB plugged in

FIX: Install TWRP 2.7.0.1 for 4.4.2, this fixes bootloop while USB plugged in, and also fixes screen dimming issue.

Workaround: If running TWRP 2.7.0.0 for 4.2.2 - Unplug USB after device reboots. It should boot into Recovery without issue. Replug USB after TWRP has booted.

LG Update Center Force Closes when trying to update LG Apps

Code:
FIX:

Method 1:
Use Flashable zip to toggle between EU and US build.prop
It will detect what build.prop you currently have and swap it.
Note: If you have made any other changes to your build.prop, they will be lost using this. Use the other manual method instead.

Download and Flash LG-V500_KOT49I.V50018a_buildprop-toggle.zip in TWRP Recovery

Reboot

Update All LG Apps in LG Update Center

Flash the same LG-V500_KOT49I.V50018a_buildprop-toggle.zip in Recovery again to revert to US

Reboot

Method 2:

Using Root Explorer or BuildProp Editor from Play Store, change the following properties:

Code:

ro.product.locale.region=EU ro.build.target_country=CIS ro.build.target_region=EU

Reboot

Update All LG Apps in LG Update Center

Using Root Explorer or BuildProp Editor from Play Store, change the following entries back:

Code:

ro.product.locale.region=US ro.build.target_country=NA ro.build.target_region=NA

Reboot

Still figuring out

Just noticed LG Update Center force closes.. Weird because it updated a few apps first, now it refuses to open.

Doesn't seem to affect any of the LG apps though... they are running just fine.

If i'm not the only one seeing this behavior I'll add it to the list of Known Issues and try and find a fix.

OK.. figured this out.. looks like changing the region settings in build.prop breaks the updater..
I used the original unmodified EU build.prop and was able to update all the apps.. then I just switched back to the US build.prop from my zip and all is good. :good:

Dude, you are the freaking man. Thanks a lot for this.:good:

Same here. My update center keeps force closing. I changed the build prop ro.product.locale.region to EU and rebooted but no luck. Do you have the build prop you replaced it with?

Thanks op! What are the advantages with 4.4 over 4.2? What I really want is to get a better remote app working!

Feels a lot smoother, new Kitkat features etc... LG upped the brightness much brighter now at %75 than it was at %90 . Gamma also seems to have been corrected. Some users reported better batter life.

Is it just me or Wifi isn't working on this build. I'm literally less 2 feet away from my router and wifi shows full signal yet nothing is loading. I can't even access the market. Turned airplane on and off a few times, rebooted my device, still no internet service
