Hi, I may not be posting this in the right place, but here goes. I have a lg g2 and the phone works great, but the top left corner of the screen is unresponsive. The phone is in great condition, but I'm thinking it's a software problem? I read some forms people have rooted and flashed roms on their lgg2, whom had the same problem as me, and poof! Dead space in screen gone. Is is true? Should I root my phone and try flashing some Rom? How do I root and what Rom would you guys recommend? I'm new, so any help would be super appreciated! Thanks in advance!
P.s.: I have the AT&T version lg g2 on 4.4.2 if this helps.
Rooting does clear up the touch screen problem in some cases.
Ok so if you want to root your G2, here are the steps.
1. Go to settings and make your phone accept unknown apps.
2. Download Towelroot and install it on your phone.
3. Download Autorec and install it.
4. Now install a kernel you want.
5. Download a rom that matches with your kernel. It can be a AOSP rom, or a G3 rom. Run both and see what you like.
6. Always look and read each of the rom posts carefully and download GApps.
When downloading a rom, you should do a factory reset ALWAYS so information doesn't get mixed up.
I know this is a short list and im missing other items but there are tons of posts on how to do these steps in much more detail. And if you need help, ask away. :highfive:

I don't think your problem will be solved with rooting the phone as far as I can tell it is a problem with your phone's digitizer like it was mine check this http://youtu.be/XYxNPFwD6gY you can try flashing an other Rom and if it doesn't work take it to service if you still have warranty or else you can do it by yourself there are some videos in YouTube to guide you.
My edit is that this thread is extemely outdated so alot of this information is bad now use with a grain of salt, i recommend looking at more recent threads.
As the G3 just became free on a 2 year plan from many Canadian carriers I decided to start a come here first thread that includes everything you need to know for the Canadian version, mostly because i myself found it hard to get going as there are so many variants and not alot of clear info as to what is supported and which roms are stable (there aren't any stable roms yet except stock KK/L.
I take no credit for any of this work just trying to organize some info.
Youtube video that shows how to get stump root and install bumped twrp
1st things first... ROOT.
Available rooting options for the D852:
- Stump - Suggested Method no computer required one click method - Verified working on KitKat (the method i used)
- Purpledrake - Verified working on KitKat. Have not tried this myself but several reports of this method working
- IORoot/towelroot - not known if these methods are working if anyone has tested please drop a message
2nd things 2nd... TWRP Recovery. thanks to the BUMP team Codefire.
- I used flashify to backup original recovery and flash the recovery listen above. I THINK the d852 is for bell and rogers and the d852g is for videotron.. i couldn't find reliable info to confirm this but i can confirm the file: twrp-2.8.0.0_d852-signed.img seems to be working on my bell version of the G3 although I haven't started flashing roms yet because from what i have been reading about the custom roms available for the 852, they aren't stable, and aren't better than the stock rom YET. (this should change very soon Candy, Validus and CM12 are making good progress towards stable versions). Right now though, they all have bugs with some basic functionality.
Recoveries:
Latest TWRP 2.8.3 with modem support
Roms:
-Solution for returning to stock ROM for Rogers or Bell (kdz available for both versions)
-Nothing custom yet that i'm convinced is stable enough to run as a main rom; only a bunch of roms in development that you can try if want to be a bug reporter/beta tester.
-Here is a link to some organized info on these development/beta versions
Working Mods:
-App for changing kernel settings (free version but also a paid version available) Trickster Mod Settings (once you find stable settings you like make sure to check set on boot or you'll lose settings after reboot)
-Thermal throttling mod (does not remove throttling just makes it slightly less restrictive; more info on the main thread.)
-RAM Management MOD (will give you slightly more RAM for multitasking)
-Xposed Framework installer (click show older versions and use 2.6.1 (worked alot better for me than the experimental build))
-LG G3 Tweakbox Module (everything worked that i tried but did not try every single feature only most of them) xda thread
-SD Card Fix app that will allow more programs to write to external sdcard folders that don't belong to it. (like pre kit-kat)
-Sixaxis Controller (PS3 Controller via bluetooth) mod. This mod has never worked for my other phones stock rom, but works on g3! there is a compatibility checker to test before buying paid version. check the act as android gamepack and enable in language and input to be able to use this app with most emulators.
-Remove OTA software update notification on stock roms.
- this handle little widget allows you to switch out to a custom launcher but keep the double tap on homescreen to turn off screen feature that works so well with knock code to unlock. the only catch is that you have to have a transparent widget in the location that you want to tap to turn off screen. (on my homescreen wallpaper i have a waterfall so i put it on the waterfall so i tap the waterfall to turn screen off)
- I highly recommend APEX LAUNCHER, i've tried almost every launcher out there IMO it's by far the best.
If you have a project or work you think should be included in the 852 repository please pm me or link your work; if it's stable and functional I will add it. If i made any mistakes let me know so i can fix, I've had the phone for a few days and by no means am I an expert, just trying to organize info and start a repository to get the ball rolling for people who are going to get this phone for Christmas or the near future.
A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS DEVELOP THE D852.
Build.prop tweaks (i recommend using build.prop editor from playstore to do these, if you manually edit it and make mistakes can cause bootloop (also possible if you put bad values into build.prop editor))
ro.sf.lcd_density=560 (this will give you more visible space on your screen, since the screen is massive i like this option) (on a smaller screen it would make things too small)
(default value is 640, obviously if you want to try a medium settings put in a value inbetween these too like 600)
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true (enable all apps in splitwindow mode)
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150 (this is the amount of time between wifi scans in seconds, larger number will slightly increase battery life but take longer to find new networks without manual scan)
there are also lots more that i'm not going to put here because most of the other ones aren't phone specific (ie like the wifi one the same settings can be used on any phone)
reserved.
current highest antuntu benchmark : 40286 (with only the thermal throttling mod and stock kitkat)
if you change io sced to ondemand and gov to performance u can get 44000, battery life will drop a bit tho - trickster mod settings is a good app for this (free version available)
bump because several mods were added
Has anyone successfully applied Hello00 kitkat 4.4.2 theme mods to the D852? I tried both the dialer and the settings mods and they sent my phone into a bootloop... I tried on Cloudy 1.2 and stock ROM.

Hi
I got my lg g3 from koodo lollipop 5.0.1
Rooting was tricky but worked by this new method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
I tried cm12.1, exodus-5.1, Mk5.1, Tesla-5.1. However I am on Cloudyg3-2.5 right now.
Unable to install xposed and I need help as you mentioned you were able to use almost all of the functions of G3 tweakbox.
When I tried installing it, I did as shown in most tutorials that installed the latest xposed-installer.apk then open grant root permission and then click on the warning and then click on framework and then click install button but the thing is that install button is not active and on some that I also tried older version it is disabled and the it says disabled manual only by recovery.
I tried flashing through recovery xposed-v74-sdk21-x86.zip but I got error saying error executing updater binary in zip. I checked through build.prop it says ro.build.version.sdk=21, ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a.
Also installed xpi.apk but no use.
When I use g3 tweakbox it requires xposed and the error is enable module in xposed.
When open xposed it say it is currently not active. did you install the framework and reboot.
A little confused. Can you help.

LG G3 canadian. NEED HELP
Hey man. seen u posted about the canadian versions. I want to UN ROOT, but have been given my LG G3 D852 from a MOBILE STORE in the Canadian Superstore so like a little kiosk.. My official service provider is KOODO, but can only find a STOCK ROM for BELL ROGERS AND VIDEOTRON. Not sure how to boot to stock without one for telus as KOODO is owned by Telus.

Is there no Telus rom? I know with fido you can just install the Rogers rom. Maybe look for a Telus rom. I could swear I saw one, it might be in a different folder from the other ones. There is a kdz and a tot method. Check out both of those servers.
You can find theTelus Stock Rom here. Dont' know for sure, but I think it works with Koodo as well.
Thank you so much for the list there. Is there a .ToT file as thats the only way i know how to stock flash is with the LG Flash tool and you need a .DLL and a .TOT file. unless im mistaken.

Did you wipe your /system/ before re-installing the rom? You just need a full wipe (data, cache and system), then install a rom that you like on top of that.
Thanks , just reinstalled the rom
Everything working fine now

Hi. Yesterday I installed new rom on my LG G2 D802. I have installed official lollipop 5.0.2 Spanish 32GB. Everything work fantastic but I miss one important option in gallery and that is option for locking images and videos. I have searched xda forum and didn't found any similar thread for that issue. I have tried to install gallery app from my previous rom Cloudy Rom 2.2 with success but still didn't get that lock option. Than I have tried to install also LGPrivacyLock app but still no lock option in gallery.
Please help me with that. How to get that option back? I have also lost my previous locked pictures. I have made backup of that locked pictures but can't open them. I hope that they are not lost.
Is there a way to get that lock function back? Please help
Hi everyone. Sorry if I've went about this the wrong way, but hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction. I have a Verizon Note 3 with lollipop 5.0 OF1 and it is rooted with arabictool. I am trying to get the Google dialer installed but haven't had any success except for one older version ( 1.01 ) I found. It says installed but does not create an icon and also after install , the only option is to tap DONE.... the open button is greyed out. All other versions say not installed. Can someone please help me please. If this is not possible , is there any way I can get exposed installed so that I can change the colors on the stock TouchWiz dialer? I would really like to install exposed.
