So I just got an LS980 and immediately got it unlocked. The unlocker put TWRP on it and installed Cloudy G3 4.4.2 rom. The issue that im having is that the phone will randomly force close apps and restarts when ever it feels like it. Im not sure if its because its a sprint unlocked for GSM use (its on cricket) or if there is some sort of other software issue. What im thinking it could be is that any old stuff that is on the internal storage could be effect it now, but then again I dont know what im talking about.

Ive tried Factory resetting, installing 3rd party messenger and keyboard. Ive used different browsers and tried it with no apps installed. The physical condition is fantastic, I feel like its not a hardware issue. I think what it may be is the rom, the only thing is, ive tried another rom and that one had more issues and it locked it back to sprint.

If it could be a rom issue, which rom could I get for it that wouldnt relock the carrier? I dont want to completely whipe the phone as that could interfere with either the unlocking, or the internal storage which holds the rom install files and gapps. Then again, could I wipe internal storage on the cloudy g3 rom and not relock the phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check to see if the phone is over or under clocked and also check to see if it is undervolted. It could be a custom kernel or even Cloudy's rom causing the issue. As long as it's not a hardware issue you can always go back to stock an unlock it your self easily.

awesome. im going to try that now. Ive found that its cloudys rom. do you know if I would be able to install a custom rom after the unlocking process? I was looking into the pacman rom, but i dont know if thatll undo any of these changes
