Great ROM! Feels like a new phone

I've been ready to just about ditch my LG G2. Have issues with Bluetooth dropping out, and thinking it's about time for a new phone. Decided to try this ROM, and it's great! Had to update my TWRP, bootstack to 39A, then install this ROM and also added in the custom ZIP too. Feels like a brand-new phone! My battery life is much better too. Well over a solid day of battery life, assuming casual use.

Thanks XDABBEB!

APN

Just wondering if it's the ROM (been on latest version for years), but can others go to your mobile network APN settings and have the option to add a new APN? I only have reset to default and was just wondering is it just me. Thanks in advance.

Edit: If you can't either, is there a ROM that features the ability to?

Follow to the steps "How to Install" in the main post.

1. Create Nandroid backup
2. Flash 39A Bootstack - Here
3. Wipe data/cache within twrp. You should leave internal storage alone. If you fail perform this step and have any issues while running the firmware, start this whole install process again and follow this step before posting.
4. Flash the latest firmware version below (XDABBEB's VS980 3.1.2) after verifying the md5.
4a. Optional - flash "My Patch" or Add-ons. Add them to queue AFTER firmware, not before.

Ok, so it booted up normally, thank god.

However im haaving a big problem with the "BACK" and "EXIT" button as they aren't responding to my touch.....wasn't happening before i flashed so how can i fix this?

im guessing the "patch" that i flashed last has a custom smaller button bar??? how can i get the original size of the button bar back??

Yes the "My Patch" has a smaller navbar.
My Patch - This is a zip I flash on my phone after the main install. It sets the default system dpi to 424, installs the 30dpi navbar and changes the status and navigation bars (centered clock, LP icons, battery percentage to right if on).

If you want a bigger navbar download and flash a higher dpi zip in the "Add-ons" section. The other option is to restart the flashing process completely but dont flash any add-on zips or the My patch zip, only flash the firmware.

So I just need to download one from the "add-ons", go back to recovery and flash it, right? Do I need to wipe cache and all that?

Yea, you can just wipe the cache. If you have any issues after repeat the flashing process from the beginning (re-follow the steps) and only flash the firmware, no add-ons or my patch zip.

Hi.

I've got a almost three dead zones across the screen so I'm using it with mini view option but sometimes I have to use it full screen and going back to mini view, is there any way of making a shortcut for this instead of swipe navigation buttons? Most of the time it's very annoying

Is it right way to flash this ROM from 24A

I am current on 24A, cloudy2.2, kitkat 4.4. I am thinking to flash this ROM. Am I right to go this route:

Back up >> recovery >> flash 39A or (need go to 26A first) >> recovery >> flash 12B bootloader ? >> recovery >> flash this ROM >> flash G-apps ?

Thank you !

    How to Install:
    1. Peform a full nandroid backup.
    2. If you already have the full 39A bootstack and are running TWRP 2.8.6.3 or higher, you may skip the next step.
    3. Flash the 39A bootstack found in the VS980 Resources thread in this forum and reboot back into recovery (there's a menu item in TWRP to do this).
    4. Wipe data/cache within twrp. You should leave internal storage alone. If you fail perform this step and have any issues while running the firmware, start this whole install process again and follow this step before posting.
    5. Flash the latest firmware version below after verifying the md5.
    6. Kernel/Firmware options:
      • This is a trimmed down kernel built for speed/stability/efficiency. I'm not interested in a bloated kernel with every governor/module/cherry pick du jour and never will be. I prefer using my phone, not obsessing over countless "tweaks".
      • Turn on CAF touchboost by creating /sdcard/touchboost file and rebooting. If the file is empty, boost freq is 1036800 Hz. If you want a different one, just put the value inside the text file (no spaces). Valid options are (422400, 652800, 729600, 883200, 960000, 1036800, 1190400, 1267200, 1497600, 1574400, 1728000, 1958400, 2265600). If you don't know what touchboost is, search.
      • Switch to Interactive governor by creating /sdcard/interactive file and rebooting.
      • Enable Bricked kernel-space hotplug (thanks to @show-p1984) by creating /sdcard/mpdec file and rebooting.
      • Enable SEAndroid permissive mode by creating /sdcard/permissive file and rebooting.
      • Toggle between G2/G4 Power Menu by creating /sdcard/powermenu file and rebooting.
      • Toggle MultiUser by creating /sdcard/multiuser file and rebooting TWICE
    7. If you wish to restore data using Titanium Backup or some other app, you are welcome to do so, but if you encounter problems, you must follow these steps again WITHOUT restoring data before posting.

    Version 3.1.2:
    • Fix rotation on/off when using new Power Menu

    Thank you all for the support, emails, pms, etc. It was totally unexpected, but truly appreciated and I will reply to all of you personally. It's great that the matter is resolved and that there is a system in place to allow for these situations to be corrected. Everyone (including mods) can make mistakes so no hard feelings there. That's all I will say about it.

    I will post the files in the OP as soon as I can, but I'm actually doing my taxes now. Oops.

    OP Updated with new version.

    The stock 25a as vzw delivered it definitely needed some work to get it running smoothly under the ART runtime, but it's now working quite well. I also had to redo a few of my framework/app changes to be art compatible, but it gave me the opportunity to change a few more things while I was in there. If you're going to enable art, I would recommend doing so immediately after the first boot (and before you've downloaded all your apps) as it can take some time to compile them all otherwise.

    The included kernel is just a patched stock 25a without any of my fixes/changes/commits. As soon as LG releases the 25a source I'll update the kernel as well.

    I didn't bother creating an up-to-date gapps package for this base/release as it's fairly time consuming and everything is available via the play store anyway. As such, the gapps package in the OP is just the included stock versions.

    EDIT: I'm uploading the different navbar-size zips now and will put them in the 2nd post.

    OP Updated with new version...full details in the changelog, but the highlights are:

    - Splitview ported from G Pro 2
    - A lot of work went on the new trimmed down kernel and system services
    - Bypassed all of LG/Qualcomm's root and boot checking. Freedom!
    - Separated gapps and updated/odexed all latest versions (latest GCS, search, and play store integrated)
    - Reduced bloat further and put removed apks in separate zips for those that kept asking...I won't be taking this any further, however.

    Usual rules apply...you should be able to get away with dirty flash, but clean is always better/recommended. If you do so and have problems, don't report them until clean flash.

    I'm taking a few days off now!
