What is Omnirom?
A new Android custom rom has been announced at the BABBQ (Big Android BBQ) by @XpLoDWilD, @Chainfire, @Dees_Troy & Team. For more information go to omnirom's website


Code:
#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 * If you dont like this rom, Stay away from this thread! 
 */

DISCLAIMER: I do not own a Sprint LG G2. I ported this because a friend asked me to. Thought that others might want to enjoy it as well.

It would be very appreciated if you guys could help me try and get a bad ESN Sprint G2. Can't do much testing without a device. But please don't feel obligated.

The big question is, do calls/messages on LTE work? I've waited a while for working Omni, this would be awesome if it works!

Did you not read the OP? I asked him to build it with the call fix and he nicely decided to post it for the rest of you. He probably wont continue to update this. He just posted what is probably a better working version for the moment.

Less being being grumpy to people, more respect and thanks.

For some reason I lost root access. I did a factory reset and install a few times. Still no root. superuser.apk is installed. I even tried reinstalling superuser in cwm. Still no go. Can anyone help me?

You could try reflashing the rom or try flashing another rom and see if you can still get root access on another rom. You can always use root checker apk or try running a application that requires root access.

As far as restoring root access you will want to see if you get root access on another rom; if you do not you will probably need to go back to factory and re root. Hopefully this is not the case.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong I can't seem to get this ROM to flash. Its stuck at formatting system and freezes there. I've tried it on twrp 2.6.3.3 and 2.6.3.4 as well as philz touch. If anybody can help me and be very greatful. I see that their is an updated version of philz touch I don't know if that would do it though. What are you guys using?

I flashed Mahdi and root is working. I haven't tried again since then. I will wait for the next update.

    I cherry-picked http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57035/ into the ROM.

    So theoretically it should. But like I said, since I don't own this device. There's absoluely no way for me to test anything. :/
