Hello,
I've been on the forums for awhile but never posted. I tried searching but hadn't found a thread for it yet. Would it be possible to port the Sailfish OS from Jolla to the LG G2? The hardware adaptation development kit has been released by Jolla. I would try it myself but have no programming experience whatsoever. Just curious! Thanks!
Would also like to know this

I would guess that we would need to have an unlocked bootloader. I may be wrong but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

According to the Jolla guide for the build (I'd post links, but I'm unable to yet) all that's needed for an install is a phone that has official CM 10.1.x releases. Like I said, I have no programming experience so I don't know how feasible the build would be for our phone. I have high hopes for it though because the launcher is great and the interface looks fantastic.
If we did it would be unstable atleast on my variant we don't even have sound with a 24a baseband and if were 24a everything it just bootloops

I am not sure exactly when this phone was released for ATT USA. I am guessing it was not long ago, judging by the forums.
My wishlist item is a Stock D800 based, deodexed rom. (vs the D802 based)
4 Way Reboot.
Tethering enabled.
Anyone else feel the same way? If I were a dev, I would do this myself and share it, but I am not. And even if it didn't come with the 4way reboot and tethering enabled, there are other solutions for these.
Thanks.
Hmm all that's available with clean room xe except the base

Right. I'd prefer to stay on the D800 base. I had a previous issue because I installed a TWRP version that changed the kernel to a d802. Was fine until I got into a problem with the phone and wanted to return to stock....that wouldn't work because the phone was reporting both D800 and D80210 or whatever and would then report incorrect version and abort. Never got it fixed and eventually bricked the phone trying. Fortunately it bricked so bad and was only my third day with it....the store replaced it for me. Don't want to repeat
I honor your wishes and wants, but do you realize that you are in dev forum? You can post your wants in general section.

My apologies for the incorrect section. I will be expecting an email from a moderator that they have moved it. I will be more careful in the future.
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043 but it is D802 build. It won't report as D802 since the build prop has all the D800 entries. Has everything you are looking for.
Or
You can download the full stock ROM and deodex it yourself and what options you want. You don't need to a be dev to do that, just a hacker or moder.
My wishlist is a million bucks...wanna help with that

I am probably just being paranoid about the D802 thing and my problem most likely happened due to me using the twrp install that changes the kernel to a D802 kernel. I no longer not nor ever will touch that one again
As to the $Million, I probably have a better chance of deodexing myself than that happening.
1) What are the benefits of CyanogenMod over stock?
2) Is CyanogenMod rooted or do you have to root it separately?
3) Does anyone know if they implemented TextSecure in their stock messaging yet?
4) Is switching back as simple as flashing the stock rom?
Cyanogenmod is better than stock for so many reasons that I'm not going to type them all out. Google that one.
It is a rooted rom.
I have no idea. Check the changelogs at www.get.cm
Yes.
Keep in mind that Cyanogenmod is only available on a very limited number of S4's running <MF3 firmware. For the majority of users who own thus device, it's not even an option.

Googling it came up with conflicting info. My about device page says I337MVLUEMK6, so I should be fine, right?
No. That's a 4.3 OS if I'm correct.

Yup I misread the less than sign. What would happen if I flashed it? Would the device just be bricked?

Just bricked sounds a little light hearted. Yes probably a paperweight. You aren't even going to get as far as putting the custom recovery on it. If you flashed in safestrap you would wind up with a black screen because no kernel support yet.

Having more experience with CM, do you think a version will come out anytime soon for I337MVLUEMK6 or not?

Not until hashcode can get the custom kernel hand off to work with safestrap. Then they could do something. Until then no AOSP Roms will work.

Hello i have a G2 and i also rooted it and have a hotspot mod on it but was wondering about the new update "Va being released i know i cannot update due to me being rooted, but will there be a stock rooted version of the new software and will i be able to install it via flashify? Thanks ahead for the answer!
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
There will always be a stock rooted version of any release. Someone always cooks one up.

Chances are, there will be a root exploit for the new 4.4 update. But ultimately, we'll just have to wait and see.
As I'm sure you're aware if you've looked through the Dev section, there are plenty of 4.4 ROM's already available for the G2. You may want to look into some of those for the time being to hold you over until the official 4.4 release.
Great thanks but the update i was referring too is the "Spark" update to enable the Spark icons and extra bands for LTE!

Does Sprint even take the time to patch root exploits?
Kidding. However, from everything I've read, Sprint doesn't seem to be bothered with root exploits on their devices. But someone with actual Sprint experience would likely know better than I.
Any working TWRP or CWM recovery for KK?
Nope might not be for awhile

You can flash one of the stock rooted Kk custom roms with the patched kernel that keeps recovery, but you can't root or install recovery over already installed Kk. Kk? :laugh:
Wonder how long it will be.

Long time. Possibly never for custom recoveries. LG is supposedly using the same security as Samsung now to block the Loki exploit. They barely have Safestrap and still no ability to flash custom AOSP ROMs 6 months later. The only way will more than likely be the workaround we have now.
Are you serious Knox you've got to be kidding me why is this a popular thing with android phone manufacturers its sad android is becoming as locked down as iOS I get the feeling that soon very few phones will be Rootable except for very few devices they really are using Knox or some variant or something similar

I'm not sure exactly what it is. Not Knox but maybe something similar. I read that somewhere anyway. I agree that soon there's going to be very few phones that can be rooted. Nexus devices and that's it I think. People these days want their devices secure. Root is essentially a flaw in the devices security. A backdoor if you will. I guess the thought process is that if there's a vulnerability, it'll be easier for hackers to get ahold of your vital information. Companies don't want the bad press of their devices being easily hacked into via a fake hot spot at Starbucks or whatever. So they lock them down. Try to patch up every possible security vulnerability there is. Sucks for power users like us, who want root, custom recoveries and all. In the end, sadly we're in the minority. We're gonna be forced to buy Google Play Edition or Nexus devices within the next few years. That's my take on it anyway.
Couldn't agree more
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
If that is the case, then the Android adventure is over for me. At least theres usually a jailbreak for every iOS version and there is only one security system to attack there as opposed to Samsungs, LGs, HTCs etc. security system on Android.
Sad.
@spinninbsod I'm hoping that since VZW now sells the N7 in store, maybe we'll have a chance at getting the next Nexus phone as well. If we do, its going to be an instabuy for me. All this locked down stuff is too much. We're just lucky we can downgrade and get back to the JB aboot, so we can still have custom recovery. Samsung won't allow downgrades, so that option is out the window for them. I'm glad LG didn't do that to us at least.
I know how the Samsung users feel I had an s4 before my g2 I hated it great hardware but to locked down I refuse to buy any Samsung or non developer friendly product hopefully the next nexus device will have better battery life

I don't see how Knox would in any way keep you from flashing a custom recovery + rom on the S4? Plenty of AOSP roms available.
That is for mdk firmware before Knox the only custom ROM available for mj7/mk2 builds with knox, firmwares is hyperdrive ROM a stock based touchwhiz ROMs trust me I know this there is no recovery other than safestrap

Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed; I bought the phone at release I am pretty sure and through att. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice. I have some recoveries but I'm concerned with having not played around on the phone's root for several years now so I'd rather not use something that may be incomplete.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp
Forgive me but I've had this phone on the shelf for a bit and am seeing now that paranoid Android is relatively dead. That'd be unfortunate since I really dug the interface! But if it really is no longer being supported would anyone have a suggestion on a ROM upgrade? Thanks again!
Cm13 or 12.1 both available with a few variants based on them just give them a whirl.

I had CM back on my s2! I could get down with checking it out again. Going through their website is a lot of helpful information, however, most of it seems to be garnered at first time users. I'm using this guide here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d800
and I'm curious if I can skip the first half (installing a custom recovery); because I'm pretty sure I have one installed already from when I flashed PA. How would I go about checking?
Just reboot into recovery to check the version.
But it would be best to update to TWRP 2.8.73 (latest version).
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
So once I've updated TWRP (which I do have installed) I can skip that first half and just do the second part? Thanks for the help btw; really trying to bring the phone back to life since I love the screen and size
If you have flashed Roms before you know the rule, read the first post then read it again then read it a third time
Make sure you have the correct bootstack, I suggest the official CM ROM to start with by Drastic then you can always try the others AICP,Bliss,ResurrectionRemix and Crdroid.
I like AICP for the customisations been on it for a couple of days to try out.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I know, being cautious to a fault here >_< I just ended up using flashify to update twrp; that was easy enough. I'll use the app to make a back up I believe and then try following instructions on the website! Thanks for all your help, hopefully I won't need to return XD but still keeping the topic open just in case!
Nope! I get an error when trying to install the CM zip file. In red it says:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'
I was able to get in what appears to be a broken CM installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be?
Bump!
Not sure to be honest,if you have followed the steps in the OP post up in the thread by @drastic and I am sure the more knowledgeable will help you solve the problem.

Ahhh thanks! Yeah I'd been doing the 12.1 downloads from the CM site but yeah that process seems to be the same. Could it be possible that my something weird had been done with the person I loaned the phone too? He liked to tinker and I wouldn't put it passed him to have done something funny with it, or even I before having loaned it. Coud the bootstack be an incorrect? Is there a way I could check?
Can you get the phone back to stock Lollipop,if you think he has played around this may be the best option.

I was thinking that'd be the best option; just to start everything over. Would that process be extensive? I'm on a work computer so I can use recovery and get the files on my phone but anything too complex or needing me to use installers I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow
