I dont know who's the idiot that makes naver.com intentionally user-unfriendly, but here's the contents of the post:
제 기기 상태가 너무 불안해서 많은 테스트는 못해봤습니다.
몇몇분한테 테스트 요청했는데 급하게 장기 출장을 가게 되어 부랴부랴 업로드 합니다. (그동안 작업한게 아까워서...)
앞전 CM7&MIUI롬에 오류가 있어서 그부분에 대해 픽스하고 올렸는데 글세요...
아무튼 마지막 선물? 잘쓰시고요.. 행복하세요~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
꼭! 아래글 정독하시길 바랍니다. (최대한 초보자 입장에서 글씁니다.)
1. hPa님 기반 CM7 & DSC 커널
2. 전버전에 오류 최대한 잡는다고 잡았는데 원본롬의 문제는 저도 어쩔수 없더군요.
3. 홈런처 변경. (MIUI아닙니다)
4. 잡다한 트윅.
5. 설치방법( 권장사항 꼭!! 지켜줬으면 해요.)
1) 롬업전 풀와잎.
---풀와잎? 1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
2) 1_DS5_CM7_GiHoo-Last 리커버리 설치. <<<<<롬파일1번 다운로드 (7/18수정 인터넷 관련)
3) 곧바로 2_gapps streak 리커버리 설치. <<<<<롬파일2번 다운로드
4) 롬업후 풀와잎.
5) 부팅후 안정화 하신후 재부팅 2~3번 하세요.
6. 배터리 캘리브레이션 하세요.(어플실행 해보면 알아요)
7. 설정 (제 롬에만 해당사항)
- MIUI파일탐색기 실행하면 업데이트창 뜨는데 업데이트 하지마세요.
(MIUI파일탐색기 실행하시면 상단탭에 설정(톱니모양)에 들어가 "자동업데이트" 체크해제
"언어선택"에서 "Korean"선택
- SPare Parts 실행해서 "Window animations", "Transition animations" 각각 "Fast" 설정
- 키보드 설정
시스템 설정 > 언어및키보드 > 반츄 키보드 > 레이아웃 > 스킨설정 > 선택하고싶은것 고르고("Dark Orange" 권장)
> 세로모드 버튼 높이 > 키보드 높이 조절 등등.. 설정
8. 마켓에 "Holo Locker" 설치해보세요. (선택사항)
- CyanogenMod설정
1.통신사 중복표시
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 환경 - 상태 표시줄 조정 - Carrier lable type - Show SPN
2. 배터리 페센트
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 환경 - 상태 표시줄 조정 - Battery status style - Percentage
3.상단바 토글설정
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 환경 - 알림 전원 위젯 - 위젯버튼 설정
4.트윅
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 성능 - 화면 디더링 사용 - 체크 해제
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 성능 - Use 16bit transparency - 체크
5.잠금화면 (패턴락 안쓰시는분)
설정 - CyanogenMod설정- 잠금화면 - 모양설정 - Ring-Lock style - Holo style(체크) - Minimal Ring Style - 체크

DS5_CM7_GiHoo-Last
gapps streak
If you do decide to use it, I would recommend using my version of gapps, as theirs is "2.3.5" and mine is "2.3.7".
Edit: It's just a repack of CM7.2-rc0-HDPI that was originally made by hPa.
All he did was slap his name on it and make some changes.
(I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but it's not a fundimentally different rom)

Hey!
Your fast man, good beta tester.
@cyceron
Can you include LG keyboard on your 20 mins update? update to 2.3.6 market and remove titanium backup its useless.
Maybe this will make this rom different from UA.

Your ROM is simply sensational!
It's the best ROM I tested so far and that has the best sound.
I'm listening to my musics with much more pleasure.
I use the Player Poweramp + DSP Equalizer. This combination makes the bass more defined. Congratulations!

TransX = don't like the name after I create it. I think like the name of porn site....

Democracy for my Democracy rom. I try make as easy as I can. Accept every comments here! with no hard feeling.
bla...bla..bla... I don't know much to tell with word...

What font? From Apocalypse? What Theme, ICS again? Sorry your rom is quite beautiful but there are many ICS Themed CM7 ROMS with same features, just some addition of apps. Why don't you try some new ones for a change? You know, think out of the box, that just maybe attract some more users in your ROM. Just my opinion though.

What font? From Apocalypse? What Theme, ICS again? Sorry your rom is quite beautiful but there are many ICS Themed CM7 ROMS with same features, just some addition of apps. Why don't you try some new ones for a change? You know, think out of the box, that just maybe attract some more users in your ROM. Just my opinion though.

Great work!!!
I've flashed the TW series and I've found this bug: if I activate the Call tabs, in the Favourites tab I see the recents call, not the favourites contacts.
Please can you check this?
Another bug: the brightness slide in the status bar stays at minimum or at max, not remains in intermediate value (it returns to min position).
How can I switch off the sound of camera? I set it from CM parameters, but it seems to hve no effects on camera sound.

[GUIDE] [INDEX] ★ Complete guide to G3 ★ [4 OCT]

This thread will always be a Work In Progress. Please be patient, as we receive new development it will be posted here. Thank you very much!
Do subscribe to this thread to get notified on any new updates.
If you own a G4, please proceed to this thread instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-complete-steps-to-root-flash-t3100478. This thread also includes G4's ROM Index.
Own a V10? Proceed to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/wip-complete-guide-to-v10-t3217373
First things first, this guide is made mainly for our great LG G3 D85x. Some steps may or may not work for other phones...
Please note that the results of the following methods may vary. I would advice you don't do this on a daily driver or corporate phone.
Also note that these steps WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For increased chances of these working, update your KDZ to Lollipop first using OTA or Flash Tool.
If you don’t know what rooting, flashing and blah blah blah means, this probably isn’t the thread for you.
I do not own much of this stuff, credit really does go to the folks stated below. Do give them a shoutout!
Enjoy!
Complete guide to all things G3:
NOTE: The chapters are in chronological order, meaning everything after Chapter 2 assumes you already have root and unlock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 0: TERMINOLOGY (in my own words)
- Terms
- Tidbit
(To be honest, if you need to even look at this, this thread isn't for you.)
- Root: Gaining full administrative control of your device. "Jailbreaking" in terms of Android.
- ROM: The customized operating system that your Android runs on.
- Kernel: The thingy that links software and hardware
- Radio: The thingy that sends and receives messages, calls and data.
- Flash: Installing a zipped file in Recovery Mode
- Recovery: The software that allows tweaking and flashing, and other weird stuff that will destroy your phone.
- Fastboot: The thingy that allows recovery mode to happen.
- Brick: The term says it all.
- Bootloader: Quite literal; loads the phone for bootup.
- Nandroid backup: A backup-ed image of your current system
- ADB: Android Debug Bridge; some command line tool that sends information from and to the phone to, and from the computer
- CWM: ClockWorkMod; a recovery system
- XDA: The holy website that is full of weird stuff that makes your phone wayyyy better.
Now let's paint a picture:
Imagine you are your Android phone.
Before "rooting", you are trapped in jail.
Upon "rooting and unlocking", you are released from jail.
You go to a shopping mall named "XDA".
You find a credit card lying on the floor from the company "Recovery". On the back, it says there is no passcode required, and there is a infinite amount of money inside.
You enter a store and get a sweatshirt with the word "ROM" on it.
You didn't buy the shirt, the shirt just happens to be free, but still requires you to swipe your credit card anyways.
You keep the receipt as a "backup", just in case the shirt spoils.
Just then, you get greedy and get all the badges in the store.
Stupidly, you pin all the badges on your shirt, turning it as heavy as a "brick".
Then, the shirt rips, unable to put (it rhymes with boot) it back together again.
Luckily you still have the receipt to return the shirt, and return back to your good old disgusting shirt.

- Restoring backups
BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
Use “Titanium Backup” batch backup
1. Menu -> Batch
2. Run -> Backup user apps + system data
OR:
Manual Non-Root Method:
- Messages: “SMS Backup & Restore”
- Contacts: should be synced with the cloud, if not: Export to SIM card or SD card
- Calendar: should be synced with the cloud
- Notes: use “Google Keep”, it will be synced with the cloud

- Apps: “Helium” or any other app
- Nandroid Backup
store all backups in external SD card or transfer to your computer
ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
(kudos to @avicohh)
1. Connect to your computer and mount MTP
2. Open “LG_One_Click_Root”
3. Press start
4. DONE!
5. To check: Download “Root Checker Basic” or any other app from the Google Play Store
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER + TWRP RECOVERY:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd855
(kudos to neko_dugacko_ime, bender_007 & ingoljosh)
1. Download the app on the Google Play Store
2. Open the app
3. It should automatically start to do a backup, so you just wait
4. Tap “Flash TWRP”
5. DONE!
6. To check:
a. Turn off the phone
b. Press and hold the ‘Power’ and ‘Volume Down’ keys at the same time once the phone is fully turned off
c. Release the keys once the LG logo appears
OR: Download “Flashify” or any other app from the Google Play Store
OR: (doesn’t apply to everyone) The splash screen’s “powered by android” should appear to be in a smaller font than before
FLASHING:
Clean Flash:
1. Backup your data!
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
3. Go into settings and enable “Use Aroma File Manager”
4. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System & Data
5. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
6. Flash any GApps package. (the one I use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798; kudos to @raulx222 & @slim Team)
7. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
8. Reboot
9. DONE!
OR:
Dirty Flash: (flashing without wiping anything, used for updating to newer ROMs or reflashing)
1. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
2. ONLY wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
4. Flash any NEWER GApps package. If you manually installed/updated through Play Store, skip this step.
5. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
6. Reboot
7. DONE!
It is perfectly fine if the first bootup takes a while, that is perfectly normal. Upon boot, Android will optimize itself so just let it do it’s work. Do put the phone under a fan as it does tend to get hot when optimizing since it is at max brightness or some dumb reason.
If it takes ages (like over 5-10mins) to boot up, it means you have luckily bricked your phone! Do source the XDA indices for any unbricking tutorial, or keep a lookout for an update on this page for instructions. (I don’t have any/don’t need to find any as I have never bricked any Android, so ya.)

DO NOT dirty flash if your newer ROM:
- Doesn't allow/support it
- Has a major update
- Has a Android version jump (e.g. from Lollipop to M)
- Is a totally different ROM from the previous one (e.g. from Stock to Cyanogenmod)
If after dirty flashing you experience any ROM issues (e.g. battery drain, lag etc.), I would advice you to do a clean flash instead.

RESTORING BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
1. Use “Titanium Backup” batch restore
2. Menu -> Batch
3. Run -> Restore missing apps with data (*NOTE*: DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA)
4. Once done, go to Backup/Restore on the main app interface
5. Restore manually: Calendar Storage, Internet Bookmarks, Messaging SMS/MMS Prefs, Phone SMS/MMS/APN, User Dictionary, Wi-Fi Access Points**
6. Launcher Settings: (assuming you use Nova Launcher) Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
**What can I manually restore?**
Red: DO NOT RESTORE, YOU’LL END UP BRICKING/BOOTLOOPING YOUR PHONE!!!
White: 99% safe, go ahead
Green: 70% safe, beware of potential brick
Grey Stirkethrough: DO NOT RESTORE

Honestly, I don't encourage battery managers such as "Battery Doctor" or "Clean Master (Speed Booster)" as realistically, it takes up more battery or RAM in trying to keep the app open to "properly manage the battery". Yes there are benefits such a having a zippier G3, but there are better methods out there.

Temporary fix for 'Stagefright' exploit
Now, as we wait anxiously for our beloved OEMs to slowly update their softwares to patch for Stagefright, we are still vulnerable... UNTIL NOW! Here's a temporary protection for us, living in the slow ring of OTAs:

My Official Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/lg-g4-s-weather-widget-launcher-phone-t3135381
Here's how to get the UNOFFICIAL G4's weather widget on ANY launcher, including Smart Notice.
These steps do require paid apps, so as to prevent piracy, I will not provide download links for these apps.
1. Download "Zooper Widget Pro" from the Play Store. *note: it must be PRO to make it work*
2. Download "UX 4.0 G4 for Zooper" from the Play Store.
3. Add a 4x2 Zooper Widget to any home screen.
4. Tap the widget to start.
5. Choose "UX 4.0 by N.A Dev".
6. Scroll down and choose "5x2 UX 4.0 Smart Notice."
7. Widget OnTap Action -> App List -> Weather App
8. Location -> Choose accordingly
9. Global Preferences -> Weather Provider -> Yahoo!
10. Calendar to display -> Deselect all events
... now for the complicated bits. Do follow explicitly.
11. Check the 1st Rich Text (it should be "Rect, W:388 H:192 R:0")
- Tap the pencil edit icon (most top right)
- Module OnTap -> App List -> Weather
12. Check the 2nd Rich Text ("Rect, W:400...")
- Edit
- Module -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Smart Notice
13. Rich Text: (date, e.g. Monday, 15 June)
- Edit
- X Offset 181, Y Offset -5
- Module -> App -> Calendar
- Edit Text Manually -> Remove what's there and type this in: #DEEEE#, (enter next line) #DMMMM d#
- Lines -> 2
14. Rich Text: (location)
- X Offset -186, Y Offset -30
- Module -> App -> Maps
- Edit text manually -> Remove what's there and type this in: @ #LLOC#, (enter next line) #LCN#
- Lines -> 2
15. Rich Text: (updated on (time))
- Edit text manually -> Remove what's there and type this in: #BSTAT#: #BLEV#, #BTEMP#, #BLEFT#
16. Rich Text: "]"
- Blur 0
17. Add a Rich Text
- X Offset 0, Y Offset 4
- Edit text manually -> Remove what's there and type this in: #WCCOND#
- Size 14
... at least it's over.
18. Go back
19. Turn on Wi-Fi/Data & Location Services (if needed) & Force Update
20. Save
21. Quit Zooper App
22. Go to your home screen and tap "Refresh button".
23. Finally done!!
- Do remember to put Zooper on the Ignore List for any battery or task killer app!
---------------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
- Any battery impacts?
Shouldn't be, so long as you follow the steps correctly.
- What if my weather shows "??" or "Unknown"
Go into the Widget Settings and Force Update
- My location isn't accurate!
Manually tell the widget your location, don't use auto.
- The weather isn't accurate!
For now, there's no choice as it isn't powered by the all mighty Google or AccuWeather.
Anything else, do PM me or leave a comment below!

Bumping = Unlocking with TWRP, so yes it is!
So long as you use the app accordingly, most probably you won't get any issues regarding the bootloader or recovery.

[GUIDE] [INDEX] ★ Complete guide to G4 + WIP/ROM Index ★ [4 OCT]

This thread will always be a Work In Progress. Please be patient, as we receive new development it will be posted here. Thank you very much!
Do subscribe to this thread to get notified on any new updates.
If you own a G3, please proceed to this thread instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-complete-tutorial-to-root-flash-t3098959
Own a V10? Proceed to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/wip-complete-guide-to-v10-t3217373
First things first, this guide is made mainly for our great LG G4 D815. Some steps may or may not work for other phones...
Please note that the results of the following methods may vary. I would advice you don't do this on a daily driver or corporate phone.
Also note that these steps WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For increased chances of these working, update your KDZ to Lollipop first using OTA or Flash Tool.
If you don’t know what rooting, flashing and blah blah blah means, this probably isn’t the thread for you.
I do not own much of this stuff, credit really does go to the folks stated below. Do give them a shoutout!
Enjoy!
Complete guide to all things G4:
NOTE: The chapters are in chronological order, meaning everything after Chapter 2 assumes you already have root and unlock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 0: TERMINOLOGY (in my own words)
- Terms
- Tidbit
(To be honest, if you need to even look at this, this thread isn't for you.)
- Root: Gaining full administrative control of your device. "Jailbreaking" in terms of Android.
- ROM: The customized operating system that your Android runs on.
- Kernel: The thingy that links software and hardware
- Radio: The thingy that sends and receives messages, calls and data.
- Flash: Installing a zipped file in Recovery Mode
- Recovery: The software that allows tweaking and flashing, and other weird stuff that will destroy your phone.
- Fastboot: The thingy that allows recovery mode to happen.
- Brick: The term says it all.
- Bootloader: Quite literal; loads the phone for bootup.
- Nandroid backup: A backup-ed image of your current system
- ADB: Android Debug Bridge; some command line tool that sends information from and to the phone to, and from the computer
- CWM: ClockWorkMod; a recovery system
- XDA: The holy website that is full of weird stuff that makes your phone wayyyy better.
Now let's paint a picture:
Imagine you are your Android phone.
Before "rooting", you are trapped in jail.
Upon "rooting and unlocking", you are released from jail.
You go to a shopping mall named "XDA".
You find a credit card lying on the floor from the company "Recovery". On the back, it says there is no passcode required, and there is a infinite amount of money inside.
You enter a store and get a sweatshirt with the word "ROM" on it.
You didn't buy the shirt, the shirt just happens to be free, but still requires you to swipe your credit card anyways.
You keep the receipt as a "backup", just in case the shirt spoils.
Just then, you get greedy and get all the badges in the store.
Stupidly, you pin all the badges on your shirt, turning it as heavy as a "brick".
Then, the shirt rips, unable to put (it rhymes with boot) it back together again.
Luckily you still have the receipt to return the shirt, and return back to your good old disgusting shirt.
---------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 1: PREREQUISITES
- The newest LG drivers are installed on your computer
- A proper and working Wi-Fi network
- Enable Developer Options
- Enable USB Debugging
- Ensure G4 is charged to at least 50%
- Original and genuine LG G4 in-box USB cable
- Backup all files!
---------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 2: ESSENTIALS
- Backup
- Unlock
- TWRP
- Flashing
- Restoring Backup
BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
Use “Titanium Backup” batch backup
1. Menu -> Batch
2. Run -> Backup user apps + system data
OR:
Manual Non-Root Method:
- Messages: “SMS Backup & Restore”
- Contacts: should be synced with the cloud, if not: Export to SIM card or SD card
- Calendar: should be synced with the cloud
- Notes: use “Google Keep”, it will be synced with the cloud
- User Dictionary: “User Dictionary Backup”
- Call Logs: “Call Logs Backup & Restore”
- Launcher (assuming you use Nova Launcher): Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
- Apps: “Helium” or any other app
- Nandroid Backup
store all backups in external SD card or transfer to your computer
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER (official!):
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
(direct link from LG Developer Resource Center!)
NOTE: THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE!
TWRP Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3125859
(kudos to @Dees_Troy & TeamWin)
1. Download "TWRP Manager" app from the Google Play Store
2. Advanced -> Install Recovery
3. DONE!
FLASHING:
Clean Flash:
1. Backup your data!
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
3. Go into settings and enable “Use Aroma File Manager”
4. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System & Data
5. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
6. Flash any GApps package. (the one I use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798; kudos to @raulx222 & @slim Team)
7. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
8. Reboot
9. DONE!
OR:
Dirty Flash: (flashing without wiping anything, used for updating to newer ROMs or reflashing)
1. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
2. ONLY wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
4. Flash any NEWER GApps package. If you manually installed/updated through Play Store, skip this step.
5. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
6. Reboot
7. DONE!
It is perfectly fine if the first bootup takes a while, that is perfectly normal. Upon boot, Android will optimize itself so just let it do it’s work. Do put the phone under a fan as it does tend to get hot when optimizing since it is at max brightness or some dumb reason.
If it takes ages (like over 5-10mins) to boot up, it means you have luckily bricked your phone! Do source the XDA indices for any unbricking tutorial, or keep a lookout for an update on this page for instructions. (I don’t have any/don’t need to find any as I have never bricked any Android, so ya.)

DO NOT dirty flash if your newer ROM:
- Doesn't allow/support it
- Has a major update
- Has a Android version jump (e.g. from Lollipop to M)
- Is a totally different ROM from the previous one (e.g. from Stock to Cyanogenmod)
If after dirty flashing you experience any ROM issues (e.g. battery drain, lag etc.), I would advice you to do a clean flash instead.

RESTORING BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
1. Use “Titanium Backup” batch restore

5. Restore manually: Calendar Storage, Internet Bookmarks, Messaging SMS/MMS Prefs, Phone SMS/MMS/APN, User Dictionary, Wi-Fi Access Points**
6. Launcher Settings: (assuming you use Nova Launcher) Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
**What can I manually restore?**
Red: DO NOT RESTORE, YOU’LL END UP BRICKING/BOOTLOOPING YOUR PHONE!!!
White: 99% safe, go ahead
Green: 70% safe, beware of potential brick
Grey Stirkethrough: DO NOT RESTORE

Go into the Widget Settings and Force Update

Honestly, I don't encourage battery managers such as "Battery Doctor" or "Clean Master (Speed Booster)" as realistically, it takes up more battery or RAM in trying to keep the app open to "properly manage the battery". Yes there are benefits such a having a zippier G3, but there are better methods out there.

My Comment
Coming soon.

Several of the steps you list in here require root.
Many of the steps you list in message #1 require root priviledges:
Titanium Backup, any process using Root Explorer, Xposed, Greenify, AdAway all require root access. Maybe that requirement should be mentioned in each chapter.

eagerly waiting for any possible root methods.
i haven't got my hands on my G4, but it would be good to know that when my phone arrived i can root the hell out of it

i get my G4 v23-24, hopefully there is a root already then!!
*root is essential.

I would like to add a request for "enable wifi hotspot" to be added to the first post, when possible.
This is my first LG phone and I hope I can get the wifi hotspot working on Sprint once I get the G4 rooted.
Thanks a lot.

This gets added to almost any ROM anyways, so you should be fine.

Has anyone found a reliable place to get the LG G4 USB drivers? I've connected my G4 to the Mac, installed the drivers through the popup that appears, and doesn't work. The Mac can't detect the G4, and neither can adb.
EDIT: Never mind. Using LG PC suite seems to work. Adb connected.

True. Most of us just want root then we can use xposed to get the rest of the function we want.

Xposed going to require custom recovery also

Can we helps devs to get more info for root? I have the G4 currently

I'm an LG newbie. It would be nice if you could link drivers and flashing software in your post.
I've owned just about every Motorola, some HTCs and Samsung phones and rooted and rom'd for years. This will be my first LG. Motorola has just become too much a pain in this area though rumor is the BL is locked on the LG too. Even root and xposed would be enough to protect my privacy.

ordered mine today
now we wait for root

Hi guys
Got my G4 earlier today. Just love it! One problem, my music on sd card doas not show up in the music app. And also when using MX player videos on sd card do not show up.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app

Have you tried PowerAmp or other non-stock music player? This would kill the deal for me. I suspect there are options and would love to know PowerAmp, in particular, works with the external card. I have way too much music I need to have with me which is why I require sdcard support.

I did not try the stock, because I have the full version of poweramp and it is working very well. My music is on the exsternal sd card
