Notes
QuickMemo will not work - need orig lge-res.apk
Smart Notice may be broken, or not fully functioning.

TE to V3
Gotta have my QuickMemo :p - This converts TE to an odexed ROM.
Basically the same as TE-V1. Guest mode works in this version also.


Downloads:
BarePapA-V1 - Mostly just the bloat removed. Concierge, Weather, Smartcards are still in this one.
BarePapA -V2 - All extras removed
BarePapA-TE-V1 Themers Edition - somewhat deodexed
BarePapA -V3 - ODEXED - This requires installing TE-V1 CLEAN. Then dirty flash this. It is not a complete ROM! If you have TE already installed, then dirty flash should be fine. This is in-between V1 and V2 as far as apps are concerned. Guest mode is fully working.

Files and info​

ZVA_Modem
All modems in this folder

Just cuz ya never know.....
ZVA_rpm,tz partitions
ZV4/6 rpm,tz partitions


If you still have Sprint boot ani and want to remove it:
If you want to remove the Sprint bootani. Or just be able to install a custom bootani. You will need to do this:
1. In a rooted explorer, go to /carrier/cust/poweron/ and delete those files so the folder is empty.
2. Then do the same with /carrier/cust/poweroff.
3. Go to /system/media and delete the "Sprint_bootanimation.zip". Make sure you leave the "bootanimation.zip" in there.
4. If you don't have anything in the /carrier/cust/ poweron/poweroff folders, don't worry.
If you use Flashtool, they will be there again. That's the only way to get Sprintbootanimation back.

Backup your EFS first!!! Just to be safe - In the FAQ
A dialer reset may be required for a lot of the issues. In order, easy to most invasive.....
##UPDATE#
or
##SCRTN#
or the biggie - which fixes bootani and Wifi calling
##RTN# - requires your MSL. You will need to either call Sprint. Or, follow THIS

I must flash the modem after flashing the rom?

Your decision really. I don't think there's much difference between them. But who knows.
At least we have 2 choices now for lollipop.

Is Wifi Calling removed in this? I see WifiOffloader was removed, but not sure what that is.
It's still there. Don't go by the apps removed.

Edit. It's enabled in the status bar. No longer an app. So to speak.
If you don't have it, read the OP in the stock zva thread, I think.

Awesome I didn't install it yet lol I was concerned because I have to use Wi-Fi calling if I need to use my phone at work. I generally have no signal otherwise. :)

Now we just need nAvel Kernel! :) lol

WifiOffloader is Sprint Connection Optimizer. Be glad it's gone. It's a RAM hungry beast :silly:

Also, props for this. Exactly what I wanted. Slimmed down a bit but everything working.
If I wanted to add LG Health back in, do you know what files I would need for that? It's the only LG app I actually use/like.

You would need at least...
lifetracker
Concierge
My Heath
At the minimum.
It's probably easier to install V1, then remove the apps I have listed. But be careful of any of the overlay files and the LIA....
along either LG AP???

Ok check this out. I have been thru hell and back rooting and activating this G3 to ATT ST sim the last 24 hours - not to mention the damn edits for apns and network swaps and finally I got Twrped... In all the volumes of threads I have read I haven't seen where to store our .zips prior to flashing a new rom. I have been out of the game for a minute and although it's good to be back I am wary because I am used to always having my external sd and a computer with Wi-Fi. I am Zv8 but 5.0.1 so is this even the right rom or should I dig deeper...? I just need stability and a wee bit of guidance. Twrp recovery is awesome but Damn is it trippy and if I know where to store the Rom.zip and modem I will feel more comfortable wiping everything as my nandroid is at least a functio ing rom with signal...

I know it's totally noob and shiz but my poor brain cannot digest anymore. But I am so look close! Anybody? And thanks for the patience AND understanding!

Thank you for this! Just flashed and everything went smooth. I did flash the ZVA modem after the ROM and now that I'm attempting to re-install my apps, I have noticed the data is horribly slow. Took ~90 seconds to down Titanium Back Up which is only 7mb. I'm flashing back to ZV8 (fairly sure I had ZV8 prior) now and data should be back to normal.

EDIT: Flashed ZV8 modem, still really slow data. Not sure what the deal is, going to let the phone settle and see if that helps any.

Anything gsm, I can't help you with that. Maybe for you, pull the ext sd out just to take it out of the equation.
Then do everything with internal sd.
Just a quick question

Version on my phone is reading as 5.0.1, but IIRC this was a slight bump to 5.0.2. Is that normal?
As far as I know, this is just a patch update. 5.0.1.

Make sure you update profile/prl after installing the modem. My reception always sucks. So I never know if it's better or worse.
Maybe try flashing the zva rpm,tz partitions? I haven't even messed with those. I just made then flashable just in case.
You can revert back to the zv4/6 ones if need be. I think they're in the zv8 threads.

I did update the PRL/profile afterwards, both after ZVA and after I went back to ZV8. No real change in speed. The LTE star almost never stops spinning... I tried to install the Nest and takes forever to start actually showing it downloading, finally it did and least 1min into it I'm at 448KB. I'm fixing to flash the ZV8 partition and see if that helps. If nothing, I'll do another full wipe and install again. :) BTW I'm coming form latest BarePop prior to BarePapA

Well, you can always try, ##UPDATE# in the dialer. If no luck, then, ##SCRTN#. These 2 are pretty safe. But always make sure you have a backup EFS.

Work computer is having hicups, can't copy anything via USB to phone. Flashed back to BarePop and all is good (still can't USB to work computer). Going to full wipe and install BarePapA and see what happens. Thanks for the quick replies!
