FAQ

FIRST AND FOREMOST
HOW TO PROPERLY POST A BUG - Guide to logcats, dmesg and last_kmsg.
Coming in and saying "XYZ isn't working", isn't as helpful as some might think. Even if your intentions are good i.e., making this rom better, I (and any developer for that matter)needs more info. Logcats are the way to do this. If it's a kernel panic, last_kmsg is where it's at. Without supplying me with proper logs I may not be able to help and you may be ignored. Sorry to be harsh but we all have lives outside of xda(hopefully) and time is pretty precious.

1. GPS isn't working! HELP!
   While it works for me, this has been a known issue on LG phones and AOSP roms since I owned my LGOG. First thing to try is to restore your stock backup, get a lock for a few minutes then restore the rom. The only other issue may be with your particular version of GAPPS. Sometimes Google Services can act funny with location services. I use PA Nano and have had zero issues with GPS.
   
   
2. Why won't NFC work?
   This is a bug for pretty much every rom right now. We are all working on a fix and as soon as one is available, I will rebuild and reupload the rom.
   
   
3. My 64gb+ sd card won't work!!
   While exFAT is usually preferred over FAT32, exFAT has been hit or miss so USE A COMPUTER to format your sd card to FAT32 if exFAT doesn't work for you. DO NOT USE TWRP OR STOCK LG - USE A COMPUTER!!!!

You will be or are you asking if I will be? Lol - I didn't have any plans too. Building and maintaining 3 roms, a stock kernel as well as doing themes, bootanimations and who knows what else will keep me pretty busy.

Do you ever sleep?

Exactly this^^^^^^^^

"Einstein slept 3 hours a year - look what he accomplished" LMAO

Exactly this^^^^^^^^

I wondered how long it would take you to chime in.

 

[RandomPooka]

Nice work on both of these!

Wait. Three? I saw LS and Carbon. What's the third one?

 

[zachdees]

I wanted to see if anyone would build an aosp kernel that is uv supported toxics kernel is beyond retarded nothing works right with that kernel

Vanir. I posted that awhile ago and the vanir team is fully supporting us via their server and google+ page. They've moved onto lollipop but I'm still tinkering with kit kat.
Only other rom I'd like to get going is Omni but it's a much different beast.

Edit: And ty btw.

Tectas is working on rin kernel for both lollipop and aosp. We still have a few slight bugs to iron out on the stock version but as soon as an aosp version is available - chances are I'll build it.

I think that might have been 3 hours a day.

Actually he slept 10 hours a day, reportedly. I was paraphrasing a joke from Iron Man 3.

Ah, gotcha. I missed that.

Loving the rom, I havent had any issues. Super smooth & battery life is really good.
Can I use the Vanir Mixer Paths on this rom?, for headphones and speaker.

If they're both 4.4 based, then yes. The audio backend should be identical.

Make a backup first, of course.

As was already stated, absolutely. The next build I upload will include them, I always forget to add them!

It recognizes mine - have you read the FAQ(Second post)? Even if it was formatted as FAT32, we've been finding that it's best to copy your card to your pc, format it again on a computer then put everything back. This has been an issue with switching roms and using sd cards, even if you haven't experienced it yet. Remnants left behind will do everything from not allowing it to be read to interferring with other aspects of the system.
