[ROM][4.4.2][LG G3 Port][6-29-2014]2FacedRom 1.6/1.7.1x Stock, Debloated, US GSM Unlocked

Please read everything before downloading and blindly installing!​

Firstly, this ROM does install properly, it does boot, if you brick your phone while running this ROM chances are it was something YOU did and not the ROM, do not blame me. Secondly, I will keep this as up to date and fix things or add things as often as I can there is a Requested Features tab at the top and if you want something you need to say it there. There is also a Report Bugs tab at the top, same applies. I am the only person maintaining this project right now and I cannot read every post in this thread but I will do my best to stay on top of everything.

The rom is a port from the UK LG G3 but options for GSM or CDMA capabilities are select-able in Aroma. NFC does not work currently and may not work until the LS990 is released and dumped.

The CDMA configurations is still buggy and I am working on fixing it, update 1.7 will see a lot of fixes to the CDMA configuration. The phone app crashes when trying to call out but the phone can receive calls when CDMA is selected on install. Thats the biggest problem I've found so far.

Not Working:

• NFC (Both CDMA and GSM)
• Calling Out (CDMA Only)
• Settings FC on some menus (CDMA Only)

1.7.1 Experimental!
CDMA ONLY​

• For SMS/MMS use Hangouts!
• Data does work but you cannot Enable/Disable it in settings or change network settings.
• The phone will show "Roaming" but it won't actually be roaming.
• Since this is experimental and for CDMA ONLY, only install with a clean flash.
• Do not install if you are on a GSM network, for GSM stay with 1.6

To Install if coming from other ROM or 2Faced 1.0
1. Must be coming from ZVC Rom
2. Reboot to Recovery and Perform full backup
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache
4. Install Rom
5. Customize in Aroma

7. PLEASE allow rom to settle for 10-15 minutes then restart before doing anything.


To Install if coming from 1.5x(Dirty Flash is possible):

1. Make a backup
2. Install using custom recovery
3. Select which apps you may want removed in Aroma
4. Select CDMA or GSM configuration
5. Rom will format the System partition and install updated version but you will not lose any account data or apps you have installed

Hi
Does it work with RUIMs ? Can you please test with any CDMA provider like Reliance , TATA , BSNL or MTS . I am interested in RUIM functionality in SIM slot and not interested in NV mode .

 

[ammu2016]

I need quick memo... It's not working... Any solution?

I don't have any way of testing with any of those providers but I am working on getting it to work with US CDMA Carriers, I'll do some research into your question and see if it can be put into the ROM. So far I havn't seen much outside of device limitation that cannot be achieved with Android and Custom Roms

I will most likely include a "fatter/bloated" version in my update, I do miss having Quick Memo as well as a few other niceties from a completely stock ROM. But as for now I haven't seen any flashable zip or .apk file to install for individual LG Apps. Depending on work over the next few days I should have an updated version with all of the stock LG Apps. I'm looking into using Aroma and allowing users to pick what they want on install.

Removable user identity module/subscriber identy module. Basically a new method to allow a CDMA (code division multiple access) phone use a gsm network. Our phone service is still CDMA, but 4g-lte is a GSM (global system for mobile) style network. So this format combines the two.

The RUIM card was designed to replicate many of the advantages of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the GSM network. Phones on the CDMA network that do not use RUIM cards store all of the user's information in the phone itself; if the user wants to change phones, he or she has to go to the cell phone service provider, who will transfer the information to the new handset. GSM network phones use SIM cards, which store all of the user's information, so activating a new phone is often as simple as moving the card from one handset to another.
CDMA phones that use RUIM cards share this ability to swap information between phones. The card is the same size and shape as a regular SIM card, and typically includes a version of the SIM software, which means that it can be used in GSM phones. As with switching cards between CDMA phones, however, the GSM handset must be unlocked for a RUIM card to work with it. An RUIM card in a GSM phone might not work in all locations, because different regions use different cell phone frequencies.

From what I've read, it really sounds like if you have a ROM which allows both CDMA and GSM communications you're really limited on the frequencies that the phone can use, the LG G2 uses these GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 2100* LTE CAT 3, HSPA+ 21 Mbps* EDGE, GPRS Class 10, UMTS, HSPA+, WCDMA, LTE Bands 25/26/41*. All listed frequency support is network/carrier specific. Roaming capability and network frequency support may not be available. If the carrier you wish to use the device with supports any of these then it should work to some extent, at least that's how it appears to me.

I have Sprint LS980 only . On ZV7 and ZV8 both RUIM/GSM SIM card work once you change the NV only mode in device . I asked as this functionality was disabled by Sprint in ZVC . The device already has the capability and I dont want to lose it by upgrading to Kitkat . The frequencies in GSM might not work in US in HSPA+ but works fine in other countries which have the Sprint LS980 frequencies for HSPA+ and LTE .
So when the user had commented that he had used it in GSM in India , thats why i requested him to put any RUIM and confirm whether RUIM functionality is disabled or not .

This is not a Sprint based ROM, it is T-Mobile GSM based, which is why it allows for GSM carriers to communicate with the device and it not be locked to Sprint CDMA.

Sorry my mistake , didnt check the thread properly .

White lines through screen.

After the phone goes to sleep and is woken up I get white and black lines through the screen. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off then restart the phone. But it seems to do it every time. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Yes, that means you need the modified kernel for your device. Most likely your device has the JDI panel and the kernel is built for the LGD panel.

Have you checked out this nifty tool which should patch your kernel and fix the white lines issue?

Shortly after posting I can across the jdi kernel and flashed it and all is working now. Thank you very much for the response and help.

I flashed the ROM but it won't boot ahead of LG Logo.

Seems it was a bad flash or bad download...

But, now I can't:

1. Flash TOT file of LS980 as it says incorrect model no
2. Can't boot to recovery thru key combinations.. Its really hit n miss n last time i could boot into recovery thru this combination on some other device was after 10-15 tries.

I can keep trying to boot to recovery n then restore my backup..

Before that, any other solution?

Edit... Was able to boot to recovery n then restore my ZVA backup..

What I actually did was, Flashed the rom on ZVA + flashed ZVC modem.

Was this the reason of not booting the rom? if so, do i need to be on ZVC only ??? No other way to go from ZV7/8/A?

yes it needs the ZVC Modem/Radio, there is a DLL file that will allow Flash Tools to ignore SW Version and flash it to an LG default. You can then reboot into download and flash anything else with the regular Sprint DLL if you ever get stuck again. I've used it many times, here it is.

Got it.. I am already downloading ZVC tot...

But, out of curiosity, I did flash ZVC radio along with your rom, still why didn't it allow?

Thanks for the DLL thing...
