Just recently flashed a friend's phone with Energy Rom. The rom looks amazing and is very well designed. There are just a few issues that he is having and I have not seen anyone else experience these problems in the tread. (Too few posts to post there)
Her camera is not working and I guess her Hotspot gave her a "timed out" message. . . . If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know if you were able to resolve this and how.
Thanks!

Are you on the 4.1.2 update? If so you will need to flash back down to 4.1.1 kernel because the new kernel is not compatible with the 4.1.1 camera

Energy ROM is based off of the the 4.1.1 build, the latest update has the XT907 at 4.1.2. So if her phone was previously on 4.1.2, then flashing this ROM could cause problems as the previous poster mentioned due to the new kernel. Not sure if the developer will update his ROM any time soon (which I loved by the way, and keep checking his thread for any updates),
also, Energy ROM can only be installed via SS right now, and given that the bootloader has been unlocked, I believe that all ROMs will be flashable via TWRP/CWM going forward - thus making SS obsolete for the XT907.
Here's what I suggest though:
unlock bootloader
install TWRP recovery
try out the DeadRage ROM, which is based on the 4.1.2 build: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/17778-romretail-deadrage-v12a-05092013-412-base/
if you really want to stick with Energy ROM with working camera, then you still can:
flash back to stock (4.1.1)
root
install SS
unlock bootloader
install TWRP
install Energy ROM on Slot 1
backup Energy ROM via SS
move Energy ROM to stock slot via SS
backup Energy ROM via TWRP (basically making a nandroid, and this can be installed going forward as a backup)
uninstall SS
Thanks!

Kernel?
Any clue of where I can find just the kernel I need to download and flash?
Sorry for coming across as a newbie, but I am used to other phones that have a bit larger of a community. Thanks again.

no worries - we all were newbies at some point in time.
I have not seen a thread dedicated to the stock 4.1.1 kernel, but I did find this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017200
my advice at this point is to backup your apps/data via TiBu (and then copy that backup folder to your mnt/external1 directory).
so that way, after you pick your ROM, you can re-download your apps from the market (I always recommend doing this as opposed to letting TiBu restore them), then you can use TiBu to restore data ONLY from your apps. I do NOT recommend restore system data though when switching ROMs (however, I do restore WiFi settings and bluetooth pairings).
hope this helps.
All worked out great! I appreciate the help. I ended going with Energy 4.1.1 I have that stupid grateful dead image stuck on first power up due to rage. -Annoying!!

i know there are serious problems happening when downgrading from 4.3
it happened to me a week ago on my i9500
i flash MIUI V5 and lost my imei , had to send it to a friend which fixed it in his lab
im not giving up though, i really like and used to MIUI and still want it, the question is how to avoid that from happening again, what did i do wrong ?
and worst case scenario it happens again, what should i backup exactly ?
ive installed andromizer and backed up my EFS , does this backup include both my IMEI and SN ? should i do anything else before trying again ?

I think it's a matter baseband
Stock-based MIUI rom touchwiz 4.2.2
And you are of 4.3,
Already trying to restore a EFS backup?
Note: sorry if im wrong

Baseband=modem?
Anyway i tried flashing miui, couple of versions of it, and ended up with the same results
No outgoing calls when on miui, incoming ok, sms, internet, just no outgoing
Imei and sn are intact, things got back to normal only when i flash stock 4.3 rom
I want miui :-\ what am i doing wrong?
There is no turning back. Install the MI launcher instead or any MIUI theme for launchers.
P.S. I have tried MIUI. Good but not as good as what they say.

No, you're not stuck. I've been using MIUI v5 and stock 4.3 back and forth testing which one is better. Personally, i like the interface of MIUI especially the icons BUT there's so much jitter and random reboots every now and then. Wait for the Kitkat release of MIUI.
Why would you change the baseband? o.o

Hello every one ...I got new problem in my new phone s4 i9500 ..suddenly loss vibrat touch during using the phone in custom rom ...I flash sokp at first custom rom and got that issue then flash hassan rom based on stock at first flash the issue present but flash it again and then work after that flashed aicp rom and after some days today the vibrat gone even in recovery mode ...what can be the problem ? My phone still new 1month ago ..can it be from kernal philiz ?? Thanks for any suggestion
any suggestion or throw my phone from window ......software or hardware problem ?????
Hi Ammar,
I think your problem is in software. If I were you, I install cwm or twrp recovery, do all wipes including system, preload and internal memory, then flash the latest official firmware with Odin. If problem stands still, I do all wipes agaün and install the latest official firmware again. Even if this is does not work then I decide the problem is hardware based.

Well I cant comment on what went wrong.
I was on slim rom once and my vibration Intensity was tooo too low. Because of that was missing calls.
Or you can download an app for checking vibration. Once my proximity sensor and speaker stopped working, i ran a test and everything was back to normal.
Try test you android from the playstore and see if that test works.
Well here is the app
But again as I said, let us know if this is happening on the stock rom.

Once my Wi-Fi stopped working on a Cyanogenmod based rom. I flased stock firmware many times but it didn't work. Then I installed cwm recovery and do all wipes then it worked. As you understand, such wierd things might happen sometimes that we couldn't understand.
i sent my phone to company and told me that vibrate engine is broken and they change it and now work good but what is the problem that caused this i dont know exactly ...as they said either by drop the phone or by water but non of these happend with my new phone
thanks guys for help

Q&A for [AOSPA 4.4.4 KTU84P] ParanoidAndroid 4.4+ G2 [06/28]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
One simple question.
The builds from aospa are 4.4 sources or 4.2?
Thanks in advance.

@houstonn was originally developing but stopped in June due to computer failures which is being resolved soon. His last build of 6/29 was on 4.4 sources and required the modem of stock 4.4.
The current builds supplied by @ayysir and now @jakew02 are on 4.2 sources which would require that specific modem.
Which ones exactly not sure as I am not familiar with every carrier version only sprint.

It has been stated in the ROM thread multiple times that you must use a 4.2 STOCK JB MODEM for best compatibility. Any other modems you guys use is solely at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. @MeestaAytch they should know what to use at this point but thanks for clarifying again for those who don't want to search before posting :highfive:
@jakew02 no problem. I know it's tiring repeating the same information but from what I've seen in my time using XDA.... It'll never change.
I'm glad you devs still continue doing what you're doing for us though knowing this nonsense goes on.

A few bugs
Hi,
The thread is too big for me to go thru it post by post so I'll just make a few questions and hopefully I'll get some answers. I flashed this ROM and it was working flawlessly. I only found very few bugs like not being able to set up multiple recurrent alarms because the app would freeze and there was another bug but I can't remember. The problem I find frustrating is with the text messages or SMSs. At first I was not receiving SMSs. Then I was receiving them but I couldn't send any. I returned back to stock VS98024a and I'm still having the same problem but at least I'm getting a pop-up when "General problems: cause code 96". I have googled this several times in several ways and can't seem to find a solution, not even on the Verizon site or help app on the phone. I need help with this please.

Please state exact filename and order of wipe/flash.
Just tried the test build for D802. Booted at LG logo for a while then screen turned black with 2 red lines and one green vertical line. I was so sure I was gonna get the permanent black lines but then again I read that the damaged screens are caused by already faulty hardware under high heat.
Anyways, I panicked and then I restarted the phone by pressing power + down. Then I got the weird boot sequence like everyone above describes and it boots into the OS. Thank God I got no black lines! However it wasn't stable for me as the phone rebooted itself twice within the span of 20 minutes. I'm going back to 13/10 build for now.
Any d802 users flashing latest twitter released rom can you please report here if jdi or lgd and whether or not weird logo appeared?
I'm on jdi and had weird logo appeared after clean flash. I did not let the rom boot and reflashed previous version without further problems
FYI, houston's latest works great so far on the VS980. Clean flash, using RenderKernel R24.
So i have the vs980 and i currently have xdabbebs rom on my phone, but i want to try PA. Can someone explain how to flash a rom over another rom, or is there something else i should do. i tried it once by flashing with twrp and it just hung on the lg sreen. luckily i had a back up

Migrating from one ROM to another is for me like this:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Wipe all except sdcard (yes, wipe system)
3. Flash new ROM
Be sure to always have a Nandroid backup!
And always check what baseband (aka radios or modem) your new ROM is requiring.
-___-
If you are UPDATING your current ROM, I.e. flashing a new build of let's say paranoid android, you can flash the updated file right on top of your old system. That is called DIRTY FLASHING and it's actually risky, so please, always do Nandroid backups!
-____-
Peace
Thank you for the reply. I tried doing it the way you suggested again and i get the same results. I wipe everything that is necessary and when i try to install the zip it immediately says failed

Ok
I would;
Update my custom recovery to the latest
Download recommended baseband, to be on the safe side
Redownload the ROM
Check the md5-checksum
Retry to install it
Flash the recommended baseband, better safe than sorry
Never give up
Peace
Hi guys i just flashed the newest build and out of all the roms i have flashed i have never seen this problem. After i flashed i have no sim service at all. Done a clean install still no good.
Sorry for such a noob question but I have no idea what a baseband is and I've been having this auto-rotate issue with my 5.0.2 ROM and its really annoying me and I would like to fix it.. But from my understanding I would have to flash a certain baseband BUT I've always thought that was risky business(?) and also I switch back from stock KK lg ROM and lollipop.. Wouldn't I run into same issue with stock ROM if I flash a new baseband?? Once again sorry for such a noob question. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
The baseband is responsible for radio connection etc and the auto rotate. Depending on your variant you need a special one for each rom. For all cm roms the jb baseband they start with a 10 for kk roms with a 20 and stock lp will have 30
God bless you! Lol. Seriously though.. I have two more questions if you don't mind.. Is it true you cannot backup a baseband? And is it true if I were to flash a baseband for lollipop, whenever I would want to flash back down I would have to flash KK baseband or else I would run into same issues as before? Auto-rotate, connection issues etc? Thanks again!
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
Baseband is commonly referred to as "radio" and also "modem" as well, it just refers to the specific version/build of the firmware responsible for controlling the actual cellular radio (and ties into some other aspects of the overall operation of the phone).
Yes, you can back up baseband/radio/modem files relatively easily on most cellular devices these days and flash new(er) ones at will using custom recovery. Recovery tools like TWRP (in more current versions) allow you to back up most any aspect of the installation (baseband/radio/modem, EFS, etc).
With respect to the Lollipop question, well, it's not officially available yet so what we're dealing with are basically modified kernels to some degrees to get the actual builds functional on the G2. In time we'll have full stock Lollipop kernels, baseband/radio/modems, everything and then things will progress further.
Thanks, I appreciate your help! Question, how does one back up baseband and are you running lollipop on your g2? If so where did you get the kernel to fix auto-rotate? Thanks again.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
The latest TWRP recovery (2.8.4.0) can easily do a baseband/radio/modem backup or restore operation, or flash a new one easily. It has its own thread here, just do a search in the G2 forum for TWRP (in the topic title) and you'll find it.
As for a kernel fix, I have no idea, I can't stand Lollipop and have no intentions of using it anytime soon but since all the current ROMs are basically ports (it's still not really official on anything but the Korean variant afaik) then all the development happening right now is just working with what they can, you might be "stuck' with the auto-rotate issue for a while unless such a kernel exists.
The specific thread(s) for a given Lollipop ROM or kernel would obviously be the place you should be asking such questions, just for the record.
