Thanks
Waiting eagerly to learn some new stuff
As mentioned before I have started with my own guide few weeks ago. The main priority of this thread is to give you a really good battery performance combined with some necessary tweaks to stabilize and optimize your current system.
This guide isn't finished at all! So please let me time to finish my work with great results.
If you got some questions, problems or any hints just post it
Regards
This is a modding guide for all those with special needs!
First at all....
Thanks everbody for supporting me!
I know how hard it is to find the perfect settings for your own usage. Over the years i learned much about Android and now finaly i started to go deeper into it. I wanna share my earned knowledge with you with little guide.....
What to expect:
1. Flashable ZIP File-Real_Pac's_Debloater
Are you sick and tired for deleting all this unneeded stuff every new install or manually over Root or apps like Titanium?
Then, just flash this Zip file after installing your new Rom.
You're gonna deleting these files:
BasicDreams(Like a Screensaver for Android)

2. Flashable ZIP file-Real_Pac's Viper4Android Profile/U]
It is unbelieveable which possibilities @zhuhang gave us to blast out ours ears with great sound!
The second part of this job is our!
I got some good knowledge with producing songs and all kind of stuff like that. Made music for years.
This Zip file will turn your stock sound into a other level!!!
Useable with every style of music.

3. AK-Kernel Real_Pacs_Allday-Profile
The most of us are looking for a stable, fast and also battery friendly kernel setting.
In fact, all these points are addicted to your personal usage, your Rom settings and the kernel you have chosen.
So, I'd started to find the optimal balance between those requirements.
If you're still looking for a generell profile like mine then just try 
Real_Pac's Allday Profiles for CM12 and Caf AK-Kernel credits to @ak for his great work!
- Made for Multitasking and daily usage
- Fast Ui, No lags, no freezes
- Each build has been tested by me personally
- Balanced battery consumption

4. Real_Pac's Back up File for MyAndroid Tools (pro)-Fix to solve Wakelock issues caused by Google Play Services
+ also disabling unnecessary Services to save more battery!!!
We all heard about wakelocks and generally about services which drains the battery of our phones immediately.
To disable them without knowledge could damage your running system.
I made a Back Up for "MyAndroid Tools (pro)" to find on Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=de to make that procedure very easy for you.
You will be able to disable more than 150!!! services with just one tap.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
2. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage.
3. Now open the app "MyAndroidTools" and tap on "about".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).
Standard Zip:
After restoring this file you won't be able to use Google fitness gadgets, streamcasts, Google Kids and also Google Wear.
Light Zip:
This Zip file wont disable any of the above mentioned services.
Alternative method if "MyAndroidtools Pro" doesn't work.-@daltonhrrll Big thanks for his alternative method!
1. Download the app "Disable Service" from Playstore- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
2. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
3. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage
4. Rename the file"myandroidtoolspro_backup.txt" to "DS_backup.txt".
3. Now open the app "Disable Service" and tap on "settings".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).

5a. Amplify Settings-Restorable Titanium Backup File
Warning!
[LP5.1.x User be careful!Amplify will only work if your current Rom supports unofficial Xposed]
One chapter before I was talking about disabling services to save battery. The. most battery drain was caused by "Google Services".
But some of them are really important for your running system. So, now we gonna change their delay time to fix the wakelock problems and to save battery.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" over years. To find on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=de
You also need xposed framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 [email protected] and
Amplify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce&hl=de
Just few steps and you're done.
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Amplify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Amplify.
4. Confirm
That's all.

5b. Calkulin's [MOD] [v7.x] Google Play Services with System Update Wake Lock Fix
thanks to: @Calkulin @abhi08638 (for the hint)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082
5c. Real_Pac's Greenify-Restorable Titanium Backup File
We all know "Greenify" is a great tool to hiberante active user apps and system apps. But which system-apps are safe to hibernate?
I made a restorable "Titanium Backup"- file which one includes almost every stock system-app.
Please hibernate all your user-apps manually.
Important:
- Android 5.1.x user's should activate the greenify module in xposed settings only then if the unofficial xposed build for 5.1.x works on your current Rom . Otherwise your phone will stuck
on bootscreen
- Do not hibernate apps with push-services if you wanna still receive "push-messages".
- Android 5.0 user should switch to "Boost-mode".
- Android 5.1.x user should switch to "Root-mode" if "Boost-mode" isn't supported.
Both can apply this file without any problems.
I'm also gonna make a restorable file for "boost-mode". Be patient
Hints:
I recommend to buy the "paid-version". The expermential features will allow you to hibernate more apps, specially system apps.
If you tap on the "3-dot symbol" you will be able to find the entry "create hibernation shortcut". It makes an shortcut on your homescreen which will allow you to hibernate all selected apps before with just one click.
Instruction:
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Greenify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Greenify.
4. Confirm
That's all

6. Fixes, Mods and Tweaks
As the title says, tested by me:
[FIX] Low Mic Call V1_Final [ALL ROMS] credits: @tazzkiller
Great fix to solve the mic problem of our Oneplus One.
-Just download the newest Zip file and unzip to the root of your internal storage.
-Both files have to be on same path
-Now flash over recovery
You're done!

[MOD][Jan/26/2015] OnePlus One Audio Mods Collection

Great mod to give you a new sound experience on your Oneplus One.
Combine it with my Viper4android profile.

Warning!
Please control your general sound values before applying any sound mod or setting. Otherwise you could damage your speakers.

[Flashable[ROOT]Omniswitch instead recent panel for LP5.1.x
credits: @kikuto for "Toggle Omniswitch"
I hate the stock recent panel. The best alternative for me was Omniswitch. But some Custom Roms doesnt't have this inside.
Found some "solutions" before but with no possibility to use it instead of stock recent panels.
A Xda-User called @kikuto https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch made a toggle apk.
It will allow you to open omniswitch but the stock recent panel in navbar will still exist.
I made a flashable Zip which already included the newest "Omniswitch" and "Toggle Omniswitch".
Just flash it and follow this....
Now, there are 2 ways to change it:
If your current roms supports custom navbar settings, follow instruction 1. If not, follow instruction 2.
1:
A. Go to Navbar settings
B. Open "buttons" settings
C. Delete the recent panel menu button
D. Add a new button and choose "Toggle Omni Switch"
2:
A. Install "Gravity Box for LP". http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
B. Open it and tap on "Navigation Bar tweaks".
C. Now tap on "Custom key settings".
D. Enable it and also tap on " Swap with menu key".
E Tap on "Single-tap action" and choose "Toggle Omniswitch"
Now open "Omniswitch and activate it"
Reboot-Done!

[APP]Intelli3G -Restorable Titanium Backup File
Setup to auto toggle between network modes helping maximize your standby
credits: @daltonhrrll -Thank you for the idea and the creation of the Manual!
What is it?
It's an xposed module that toggles between 2 user defined network modes based on current conditions. For example when your screen goes off or you connect to wifi it will switch to power saving mode, Which is 2G if you're using my profile. When your screen comes on or you disconnect from Wi-Fi it will switch you to fast network mode which will be 3G by default but you can switch it to 4G if you prefer.
Intelli3G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Instruction:
1. Make sure you have xposed installed.
2. Follow the link above to download Intelli3G.
3. Once it's been installed head over into your xposed app and activate the module.
4. Reboot
5. Download my titanium backup restorable file of Intelli3G and place it into the titanium backup folder on the root of your sd card.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_HWCBYTD4HGWjV6QUZFVEpLdnM/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Open up titanium backup find Intelli3G and restore "DATA ONLY".
7. Reboot, it may not actually be needed but do it anyways.
8. Enjoy your new battery life.
***NOTE***
By default the slow network is 2G and the fast network is 3G. If you wish to change it to 4G, open intelli3G select fast network and select LTE GSM/WCDMA. This will connect to LTE when available but use any bands it can to keep signal. My configuration you'll be restoring will not disrupt downloads or streaming as it's setup so if there is more than 15 kbps of traffic it won't switch modes until the traffic is below the threshold. There is also a 1 minute delay after screen off before it will switch to power saving mode that way if you turn your screen off then back on quickly it won't cause loss of signal which is a known issue the Dev is working on. If you do for some reason experience a loss of signal simply lock and unlock your device or toggle airplane mode on and off to fix.

Hi @real_pac , thanks a lot for sharing your optimization methods, I'm using MyAndroidTools to restore your backup, it's been an hour, the MyAndroidTools logo is still spinning, I'm not sure if the process's hung. Usually how long does it take to restore your backup?

VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace
As I have mentioned previously, this isn’t the magical custom ROM you have all been waiting for, YET. It’s a base that I have created in order for me to work on over the next few days/weeks/months. As I have said a few times now, don’t expect it to be HUGELY different to stock KPE at this stage.
- Based on Samsung’s XXPE Gingerbread build
- Pre-rooted with Superuser installed
- De-odexed (improving free space on /system)
- All APKs PNG optimized and zip-aligned
- A few minor tweaks which should improve free memory – please let me know
- Full battery alert removed (no more 3am wake ups!)
- Added GenieWidget (News and Weather)
- Added Gallery3D
- Added Stock Gingerbread Launcher and REMOVED TouchWizLauncher.apk
- Menu key will now unlock the phone on the lock screen
- SOME bloatware removed
- Huge APN list
- Annoying boot sound removed
- Light weight – stripped down the build a bit without losing functionality
See.. as I said, it’s lightweight and just a base at this stage. My work will continue over the next couple of weeks, so expect to see (COMING SOON):
- Custom OC/UV kernel
- ClockWorkMod Recovery
- Add advanced power menu options (Reboot, Recovery, Download and Wipe Data (+ confirmation)
- 2.3.4 additions
Please use this thread for any requests you may have regarding this ROM in the following thread. Please don’t spam it, this is purely for requests only. I will look into each request and let you know if/when it will be implemented.
Instructions:
RECOMMENDED BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Perform a full wipe of data/cache. Dial *#*#7780#*#* from your current ROM, and this will wipe data and perform a factory reset.
1. Download the zip file from the bottom of this thread and extract it
2. Boot your phone into download mode, and connect it to the PC
3. Open ODIN – you should see a COM port in yellow.
4. Click Ops and select Cooper
5. Click Boot and select APB_Bootxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)
6. Click Phone and select Modem_xxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)
7. Click PDA and select AceVR.tar.md5
IGNORE THE 2 POP-UP ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT INVALID BINARY – THIS IS NORMAL.
8. Once complete, the phone will reboot.
Now, please post any opinions, comments or feedback in this thread, and any requests here.

1. Thank you! I guess I'm gonna give this a try tomorrow.
2. Did you build in Darktremor a2sd?

1. You're welcome
2. No I didn't but if you could link the post for me I will happily include it as an option
3. Wifi driver stops responding with certain SD cards - it doesn't seem to affect me with most of my SD cards, but I don't use this phone as a daily - I work full time in Android and have access to most android phones. I just felt sorry for you guys having no ROM and support whatsoever.
There's also quite a lot of you that own the phone, so it's crazy that not many have picked it up yet from a development perspective.
Anyway, I'll try to get you to a level that you're happy with (custom kernels, CWM, and a rom or two), then I'll move along.
Hopefully, by then, many of you guys will start experimenting with ROMs yourself. It becomes a lot easier when you've got a custom recovery image in place!
The link to Darktremor's apps2sd is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116.
I definitely want to start trying to play about with custom ROMs but I'm totally new to Android. So far I've managed to unpack and repack the boot.img in order to modify init.rc but I haven't built anything as such. I'd love to get involved in trying to port CWM to the SGA but I don't know where to start. Happy to help though if I can.

COMPATABILITY: Tested on Cyanogenmod Alpha 2 and the CM9 nightlies, may/may not work on other ROMs!
If you install this with ROMs other than CM9, then you will see many side effects in the Settings app, such as it displaying you are running CM9 when really you are running some other ROM. The build.prop is built off of the latest official nightly, 20120404.

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Make a nandroid backup before downloading this!
If something goes wrong (even though it has been tested numerous times) its always good to have a backup! I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device as a result of this!
1. Download the .zip from goo-inside.me linked below
2. Reboot into ClockworkMod
3. Install zip from SD Card -> Browse for zip you just downloaded
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (in advanced menu)
4. Reboot
5. Heres the decision point: you can either end here, or you can continue on to install the V6 ICS Supercharger script. The process is a little bit involved, so if you don't want to continue, you don't have to. I reccomend you do continue though, as the Supercharger script makes a very big difference in terms of speed! For those of you who choose not to continue, thanks for installing the SUPREME Modpack! Enjoy your Touchpad! For those that want the ICS Supercharger too, continue below!
=======================================================
6. Download the latest Supercharger script from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 to your /Download folder (the file is called "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt") (Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
7. Continuing to install the supercharger script... open up a file manager and rename the file to get rid of the .txt extension (so that it becomes a .sh extension)
8. Open up the app called Terminal Emulator on your Touchpad. If its not already installed (it should have come with CM9) then just install it from the market.
7. In the Terminal, type the following.
Code:
su
Then accept the Superuser request that opens up.
8. Then type:
Code:
sh /Download/V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh
(Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
9. The screen will display some text as the script loads up. Be patient and wait.
10. After loading, it will come to a thing where it detects what launcher you are running. Press the enter key to confirm your launcher.
11. The script will do some more stuff and then ask for what type of scrolling you want. Type in "1" without quotes to confirm you want fast scrolling to make the install process quicker and then press enter.
12. It will do some more stuff and then ask about integration. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want integration and then press enter.
13. It will do some more stuff and then ask about animations. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want to disable the animation and then press enter.
14. It will do some more stuff and then ask about what type of Supercharger you want. Type "9" without quotes confirming you want the highest and most aggressive tweaks (they work the best for the Touchpad) and then press enter.
15. The script will finish up and then ask if you want to super clean your system. Type "y" without quotes and then press enter. Your system will reboot.
16. Go to this link: http://android.mimic.ca/
17. Upload your services.jar file from the /system/framework/ directory
18. Patch the file using the online patcher
19. Download the CWM file it gives you (the .zip). Don't worry about what it says about being for Nexus S.
20. Reboot to recovery and flash the CWM file it just gave you.
Congrats, you have the SUPREME Modpack and the ICS Supercharger scripts installed! Reboot normally and enjoy!
To update, just follow the same instructions as the install directions! You will also need to install every time you install a new ROM.

this sounds amazing but i am just wondering if i could edit this so it doesnt touch the dpi at all? i use 132 right now and dont want to mess with it, other then that this sounds amazing
First time posting in the touchpad forums...
I applied this mod and attempted to install 9mm but still got a "not compatible with this device" error. Unless I'm in error of some sorts I believe this game still has issues running on our devices. I at least had to give this a shot to maybe see if it would help with me getting this game installed.
Nonetheless excellent work and thank you for your contribution!

I added the build.prop text in the OP near the bottom, in a pastebin link. Copy the text from there, paste it into your build.prop, and then find the line for the density and edit that back to 132 before saving.

I don't own the game so I was not able to test it, sorry! I know this change has worked for Modern Combat 3, Asphalt, and a couple other games. I will look into making 9mm work, since this might be a problem across multiple games!
Testing now, will let you know how it goes over the next few days

Install the zip file from the link in the first post in clockwork recovery mode after you have installed Alpha 2.
I'm on Classicnerd Butta 0.1.1-v3.2 and will definitely flash this at work to test it out.

Im really looking forward to a smoother scrolling experience. I love my tp immensely but I've always found the very subtle studder of scrolling to be a little displeasing when it comes to scrolling in between home screens. Does this "smooth scrolling" enhancement effect web browsing scrolling?
I am definitely going to give this a shot bud, brb with thoughts and opinions. Thanks again for your work in this community.

Lmao.
Plug in your device. Then Go to: settings, then click on storage on the left. then on the top right you will see 3 vertical dots, click it for more options. "USB computer connections" will be available. Select it. Then check mark the "media device (MDP)" field.
If you're using windows, ignore the driver installer error prompt. Your TP should still be visible when you go to my computer.
Push Thanks if I helped. i hope I did. >.> lol
thanks it's working now.

This really works! I was stuck using 160dpi on Alpha2 because 120 or 132dpi both were not smooth, they had a small skip or judder when transitioning screens. Bugged the heck out of me so I set it to 160dpi where it is smooooth.
I flash this build.prop this morning and 132 is now just as smooth! Not sure what else it fixed but it didn't break anything which is always a good thing. Me happy
Thanks Rohan!
Nice one
Changed the build.prop in notepad to 160dpi then saved over the top and just flashed, now I'm playing BackStab HD! Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing this but I have a question. In your OP, you listed:
disables error checking (may have side effects)
Does this affect the SD card error checking (fsck_msdos) that the TP does on boot, which shows up as Preparing SD card on notifications?
Btw, just a suggestion that it might be a good idea to put a line in your OP and recommend doing a nandroid backup or at least backing up of the original build prop file before flashing this. Thanks again.

Hi guys, sorry, just got back from school. I've answered some of your questions below.
Also, just wanted to say that tonight I will be adding a whole boatload of improvements via the init.d file. I worked on it at school today for a little bit at lunch and it should bring a whole host of speed improvements and smoother aspects to CM.
@Mr.Quipster Yes, this also affects the web pages. It increases the screen's refresh rate when scrolling, thus allowing a "smoother" experience.
@ruthienu I've changed it so that StageFright, the media streaming tool in Android 2.2+ scans meta tags, as well as HTTP filesystems for media. It doesn't hurt to have these lines in there if you aren't using media streaming. It also doesn't interfere with anything else. If you want to delete it, flash the zip and delete lines 101-104 [the ones starting with media.stagefright(...)]
@webdroidmt Nope, this disables something called CheckJNI. It basically scans the system every now and then for things such as invalid variables and arrays, bad buffers, and some UTF-8 errrors. None of the errors it catches are system-threatening and disabling it frees up a substantial amount of RAM. If you do not want this to be enabled as a feature then simply flash the zip, then edit your build.prop and delete the line "ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0". And thanks for the suggestion, added a warning
Hello there guys!
Please Read:
From next week, I won't have much free time, so this is something like a goodbye thread to xda community. This is maybe one of the last mods(if not the last I upload). Of course I will visit the forums every once in a while but probably I won't have much free time available to mod ROMS. Anyway. Let's see the new ROM features
Special Notes - Please Read:
This ROM is based on Final Full B928 ICS Baseband as uploaded by Broxnitas here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793014) on xda and is using Official ICS Baseband(404029). Make perfectly sure that you have a working CWM backup, or that you have a copy of your GB amss.mbn file. Alternatively download this flashable CWM .zip that returns your phone back to GB Baseband from here(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_kPUrNkk3T0QmRkTld5SFh5Vm8/edit?pli=1). If you use any GB based ROM while on ICS Baseband you won't have network access so keep that in mind.Also this ROM is as small as 170mb so you don't need to repartition your system by flashing step1 from official upgrade.Finally System Language is English. Change it like usual from settings(I disabled the annoying to me feature that adapts network's language).
Changes:
1) Removed lots of apps. As usual with my release,you only get a basic system. Install every app you want from PlayStore. This time Sync is perfectly working(tested it personally). Stock Browser is also there.
2) Added Volume Rocker Wake & Search Button Locks Screen
3) Updated hosts file. No more ads in free apps!
4) Added DSP Manager and Trebuchet Launcher (Official CM9 Apps)
5) Removed almost all media files (in order to save space) and disabled camera sounds.
6) Changed default CPU Governor to userspace. System seems more smooth in my opinion.
7) Added init.d (added battery and Wi-Fi network tweaks)
8) Using kamatozko boot.img for better multitasking & unlocked fps by default
9) Zipalign
10) Added Battery Percentage in status bar
11) Updated media_profiles.xml for better HD video recording quality
12) Slightly Jelly Bean themed (Added Default JB Wallpaper + Galaxy Nexus JB Boot Animation). Optionally you can also install Holo Locker from Play Store if you want a JB lockscreen.
Installation Instructions:
1) Copy ROM .zip file to your sd card
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe data/factory reset
4) Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Install .zip from sd card
Reboot & Enjoy!
Note:
You may not need to do Wipe data/factory reset while in recovery in an attempt to keep your apps and not having to reinstall them. However, if ROM does not boot after installation complete, then this is probably the cause.
First Boot is gonna take a while. You'll even get bored But as long as you see the soft buttons light up, then everything went fine.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zreoo9noqqcrqpb
3G & data usage fix:
Only do the following if you want 3g & data plan internet usage.
Open /system/build.prop with a root explorer
change this line(number 100) from: ro.use_data_netmgrd=false to ro.use_data_netmgrd=true
I've changed this value when I was testing the ROM in order not to waste any money, since the phone gets the time from network and this costs me 1 euro!!!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hope you enjoy now!
Thanks To:
Giris for porting newest ics baseband to gb baseband
Broxnitas for the same reason + the actual ROM in which this mod is based on + GB amss.mbn flashable CWM .zip
eng.stk for his CM9 DSP Manager port
matt5eo for his Trebuchet Launcher mirror
kamatozko for modified boot.img
sr21 for Galaxy Nexus JB boot animation
Happy Flashing

3G signal works fine in my phone.
Maybe you didn't change mobile network settings, or you have low 3g signal in the region you live.
You can more easily control your mobile network's type by doing this:
*#*#4636#*#*
>Phone Information
>Set Preferred Network Type
if you see in network type saying HSPA than your are on 3G. If it says GPRS you are on 2G.
Choose WCDMA only if you only want 3g network.
For more information on networks, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966172
Anyway,I just want to say that the ROM can use 3G. The problem is with your settings

....for me same problem...
I really don't know what is the cause of this.
Have you however see your network type in *#*#4636#*#* menu?
If it's HSPA it's 3g. Here it works ok. Maybe it also works ok for you also, but because framework-res.apk and systemui.apk are modded for battery percentage, maybe 3g icon in statubar somehow "broke".

I check network and it's UMTS but data network doesn't work... I'm at home, my son has the same operator and his phone has HSPA and data network are ok... may be this issue is because i didn't make wipe data/factory reset to not reinstall my apps (my previous rom is yours B927)... tomorrow i'll try to reinstall your ROM but first performing all wipe (data, factory reset, cache and cahce dalvik) and system format...
however thanks for your fantastic job (now i use your rom B927, perfect for me)

open qwerty.kl as text
change: key 217 POWER WAKE
change to: key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

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!

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.

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.

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:
1. Open your messaging app.
2. Open your messenger's settings.
3. Disable "Auto receive MMS".
4. Repeat for all your other messaging apps.
5. DONE!
- If you're plainly lazy, download "Textra" messaging app which comes with in-built Stagefright protection!

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.---------------------------------------------------------

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
DebloatedX ROM for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime! (MOD/SCRIPT)By: ShaDisNX255!
Based on Xtreme ROMXtreme ROM by: @Misma13
Warnings!:
* Flashing this zip will factory reset your phone!
* PLEASE CHECK THE LIST OF APPS REMOVED DOWN BELOW!!!!!
* I am removing apps that I don't need! Key word being "I". So by flashing this you are accepting my conditions. In other words, I get to choose what apps are being deleted. If you have a request of an app you don't want removed, you can easily search for the apk file on the internet or on Google Playstore. If you have a request of an app you want removed but is not included in my zip, and enough people request it, I can update my file (or you can update it yourself, if you want) to delete extra apps or exclude them from being deleted.
* Since there are a lot of apps that I am removing, there's a big possibility that I may break something like a feature YOU may be interested in. Be warned that you may experience sudden FC or a feature you want not to work. Please report if anything that YOU use is not working so I can add it to the not working list. So far, of what I've used I have not encountered any FC or any bugs, but there is always a possibility that it can happen
* I can't stress this out enough, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!
* Both these Scripts/Mods eliminate quite a few system apps. If you are planning on returning to stock, change ROMs or switch between V1 and V2 of my Script, it is NECESSARY to re-flash stock via Odin and then try the new ROM/Script
Apps that are being deleted:

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!

Report No. 1
first of all... thank you for a great job. your rom-mod-script turn the device from a piece of sh*t to a usable smartphone these days...
camera, bluetooth, wifi, mtp, all work like a charm but i find some strange things with the software so far:
- i had a loop with the "samsung weather location" in the config menu (in the first boot, when we introduce our google account) it don't let me agree whit the terms. i had to disagree to enter to home screen.
- when i change the value on "app screen grid" (4x4 5x5 6x6) it does change it but don't show the icons... i need to reboot device to see the changes.
- i can't delete the second home screen. it don't show the garbage icon when i long-hold the side screen.
- "home screen settings > home screen layout > home screen only" crash.. force to close.
i know this are software bugs. but i'm just reporting it.
again... thanks for you work and for keeping this device alive.

Thank you for reporting this so I can add this to the OP
Use the files of the XTreme rom truth, but it does not matter
I have a question, is it installed on the stock of the j2 prime or does a complete cleaning including system?

The script factory resets your phone, deteles bloatware, and then installs S8 icons and launcher. It is still stock settings, it just replaces a few things.

Yes, it seems that location is set to "Device only". Weather location tries to change it to change it to "high accuracy" but it crashes the app. You need to change to "High accuracy" manually and then try to set up weather via the widget.

This is a known "bug" among ports of the S8 home app drawer ports. To avoid rebooting the device to see the effects, just keep swiping right and it should update itself

Yeah, it's an inherited problem thanks to the S8 drawer I put on this device :/
I found that the S8 icons break Samsung e-mail. On my V2 version I will remove S8 icons because Samsung e-mail is important to me
Until I get them to work together, I will not add them back
thanks for your work OP

thanks for the comments OP.
I don't wanna be rude or misunderstood but i edit your script and delete all the s8 part... i prefer the 100% the debloated rom + nova launcher (it looks more like stock android).
thanks for all your help and hope you can develop some custom rom in the near future.
i see you already had the knowledge and still waiting for the version 2 of this thead.
Cheers.

Hello OP.
i have a question so maybe you can help me.
I edit your script and added some lines to delete in system and priv-app (samsung contacts, email, fbinstaller, etc.) but i end up somehow erasing the dialer app (my guess is that is connected to samsungcontacts app). Trying to find de apk of the dialer i found this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-google-pixel-contact-dialer-t3479715 ) and it works great to me... so my questions is:
If i want to add to your script the google dialer&contact apk, i just need to copy the respective files in the "priv-app" folder? substituting the "samsungInCallUI" folder?
thanks in advance for your comments.
-edit-
Also, i saw you have 2 files in the META-INF folder: 1.-updater-script and 2.-WORKING... wich one is the one? or it need the two file to debloat device?
thanks for your comments.

I'm almost sure you don't have to replace "SamsungInCallUI" as I think that's specific with the Samsung dialer, or so I would think.
I would go ahead and delete that folder
Yes, all you would need to do is copy the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in the priv-app folder
And as for the updater-script, you can ignore the one that says "WORKING"
When I was testing the script, I couldn't get the format /data function to work properly and it kept making some apps crash
The "WORKING" script was the first version of the script I got to work on this device. After that, I kept editing the script until I got it to work
So, "updater-script" formats /data correctly and "WORKING" just factory resets without formatting /data

:in Matthew McConaughey voice: alright alright alright:
thanks for the comments... i will try and delete "working" file.
by the way, do you think i'll f*ck up the device if i add the line "system/priv-app/SmartManager_v4" (device maintenance) to your debloat script?
sorry for all the questions.. its just that i like purging bloatware.
again...thanks for your comments.

Well, I really can't tell for sure. I mean all that it really does is eliminate temporary files and close background apps. You can certainly try, but again, I always recommend a backup first
