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!!!!

Reflashed, and now it seems to work, sorry. Could have been a botched gapps zip I had installed prior

Yeah I was gonna say, I had that issue before as well and knew I fixed it(took me FOREVER and I refused to release even a beta until the basics work) but remnants are a serious pain particularly on LG products.

Had the same issue with SMS.
I've tried the GAPPS Mini Modular Package and that doesn't seem to work. I don't have any Google apps.
Gonna try the Full Gapps and report back

Another strange thing is the End Call button wont work. I have honestly never experienced that one before

Maybe a bad upload? Give me about 15 minutes and I will reupload and change the link.

Cool thanks a lot, I tried to reflash and TWRP said it was a bad zip.

Ok new upload and link has simply been changed behind the scenes. I downloaded that one and got the same problem when flashing. The one I uploaded I also flashed and everything was fine so hopefully this one uploaded correctly.

Works great now! This ROM is sweet, you do great work! I haven't noticed any issues yet. SMS is working, calls work now as well. Thanks again!

 

[aheeejd]

Rom has been running great guys. I use hangouts, so I never have any problems sending or receiving. Thanks so much for these kk builds. To me LP is just to boring at the moment.

Glad to see you got this up and running. Congrats

Oh yeah, Idk if it would be the same for lollipop, but resync, everything. lol. That's what I did. And used cm/the muppets updated sources for device and vendor. Then change cm.mk and cm.dependencies to liquid.mk, etc and change the files themselves(switch cm to liquid in those) and voila! Hope it helps you buddy!

EDIT: Oh, under vendor you need atleast g3-common and lss990, under devices you need those AND qcom, possibly samsung as well but definitely qcom and g3/ls990. Good luck.

What is your apn set to under mobile network? It should be Sprint LTE. If it is then I'm guessing there is still an issue with the eri.xml file but it should just be a label error. It doesn't mean you are actually roaming or should incur roaming charges, particularly if you have data not working while roaming(under the same mobile network menu in settings). I'll look into it but mine says Sprint.

 

[scottspa74]

Damn, you've been busy HP. Thanks so much for all this. Won't be able to try til Monday, but looking forward to it.

It's weird because even though I think I may know what the issue is, mine and aheeejd's said Sprint. These phones are too picky. I'm gonna try something and rebuild anyway. New build probably won't be up til tomorrow though.
