Have a quick question. I recently tried another ROM which required me to flash 25a bootstack. Wasnt really to impressed compared to this ROM. So i flashed my back up of this. It's been acting a little funny. Lagging here and there. Should i have taken a different route to come back to this ROM?

Did you flash back to 24a before flashing?

Flash normally, if you have issues with SMS, WiFi/data, signal, or calls, then reduce your baseband to 24a

    Download

    Get Malladus from Android File Host

    You need the ROM and Gapps, LG Apps are optional!!!

    Instructions
    1. wipe data (if coming from ANY other rom)
    2. wipe cache
    3. flash ROM
    4. flash LG Apps (optional)
    5. flash GApps
    6. let phone sit for a few minutes once booted to settle (a lot is done on first boot)

    If you get an encryption message on first boot, just reboot and it will fix itself.

    Keep in mind that the first boot can take up to 10 minutes and may seem to hang on either the Google logo or the Boot Animation. Just give it time, it will boot.

    Malladus 2.0 (modified stock 4.4.2) for VS980 Public Beta

    The below link contains the information you need as well as flashing procedure and links to files. Please read the instructions carefully!

    This has been successfully flashed from 11a, 12b, 17f, and 24a. If you are on 10b, IT WON'T WORK. I will try to get 10b working at a later point. If you've ever taken an actual OTA, this process should work just fine for you. If you are hesitant, PLEASE ASK BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

    Malladus 2.0 Public Beta:
    http://goo.gl/xN1Cq1

    For those who didn't know, I've been in and out of the hospital lately with some issues I'm working through. My son was recently in and out of the hospital as well. If you like any of the work I do, please feel free to donate to help us out! :)

    Quick update!

    While 2.0 is working for some, other testers uncovered some scenarios where you could experience soft brick. I believe I have this fixed and am in the process of re-uploading 2.0 right now. I'll have it back in the testers hands by lunch and hopefully we'll be able to release tonight instead.

    Thanks for your patience!!!
