Ok, thanx, but do i need to dl and install a recovery? Or can i just flash the rom, an if so how exactly do i do that, thru the stock recovery?

Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Free mobile app

You would need to install a custom recovery. Check out the android dev section for cloudyfa's autorec.

Since you're on kitkat your bootloader would need to be rolled back to 4.2 because Loki was patched in kitkat. And his program will do it for you.

If you're not rooted, I think you need to use towlroot for kitkat. Do some reading up on it. I've been rooted and with a recovery since 10b

Malladus 2.0.3 works fine on 26A bootstack for me though the option to chose "Global" vs. "CDMA/LTE" is not working as it's designed for 24A radio/bootstack. I get 4G data, calls, SMS/MMS, WiFi, rotation, GPS, etc. It's very light weight for stock and fast. It plays well with latest Dorimanx 8.0.1 also. which fixes reboots on interactive governor on Malladus. :good:

Knock On

Hi guys,

Just got this G2 and flashed some ROM's, with all other ROM's knock on was working fine but now I flashed Malladus ROM and knock on is not working. I flashed hidden menu apk via recovery. When I tap hidden menu app to install, it says could not install. How to proceed further please guide. I am able to go in ##PROGRAM980 menu but I do not find option to update the firmware. Please help further.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Guys I am in this advanced menu using command in emulator but I do see "setting > update touch firmware". Where to go from here?

Sup guys. How's this ROM? Been eyeing it but I've been on XDABBEB's stock and running well. Wanted to get an opinion before I take the plunge.
 
Guess you're right, had no idea he was making posts lol

It has been 4 months since he was working on 2.0.4, but there is so much new out there, I guess we may be drifting into Malladus obsolescence, sigh.

I did drift away to a 26A stock that is rootable, with TWRP and ran some cleanup scripts to get rid of bloat. It is pretty nice, but I would rather come back here with updates.

Cool, thanks for the input. I was wondering if there was going to be any movement from Okibi on this. Didn't know he was working on wear.

    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!!!

    Just a heads up, I've been focusing my efforts on a 4.4 build for our device. I'm running a test build on my phone and it's looking good so far. Just need to fix a reboot issue and will have a preview build up!
