Paranoid or Cyanogenmod ROM for Korean G2 F320L ?

Hi,
I am a Android newbie and have Korean LG G2 F320L. And I want to install custom Paranoid ROM.
But the links I have found so far are for international models D801, D802, D803 etc. So can I install these ROMs on my Korean phone ? and if not, any one knows from where can I get the Paranoid ROM for the Korean G2 F320L ?
One more thing, in terms of security and any malware/spyware threat which ROM is better one :
Paranoid
Cyanogenmod
?
Thanks,
Wasim

Any help please......

I'm skeptical about trying non-official LG based roms due to the suddenly bumped, black-lines-on-screen hype.
I'm running Cloudy G3 rom on my LG G2 F320L (contains all the essentials I want but gagged on customization).
For the case of installing cyanogenmod / PA (KitKat based roms), I think you will have to flash F32L Baseband before flashing any of those roms. (Probably modify updater-script in meta info of the rom in case you are barred from Flashing the zip file due to your phone being F320 and not D80x).
In terms of security, official rom will work for you, there are not that much perks of CM/PA over official to me as an end-user. Before G2, I had Optimus G F180 before and I loved look, feel and customizability of Cyanogenmod 11 (MOKEE). PA is no different with tad bit more utility perks.

I am newbie to Android and custom ROM business....but have technical background....so my reason of looking for custom ROM is the performance I am getting on mine G2. I think my iPhone 4S was much more snappy than G2 and it was even 50% of hardware what G2 has. So thats why I want to have Stock Android ROM to get rid of any unnecessary stuff and improve the performance.
Could you please suggest any valid tutorial to follow to install good Stock Android ROM on my F320L G2 ?
Thanks,
Wasim

enable developer tools by going to Settings > about phone > software info > and click software version 6 times.
Then go to settings > Developer Tools > Enable USB Debugging
Root your phone using ioroot method (connect your phone to ur PC first and make sure u have correct drivers installed)
Install AutoRec software (Make sure you have correct phone model, which is F320L in your case). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
Dont run AutoRec yet, download KK Baseband file for your phone from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880
Download Cyanogenmod flashable zip + gapps. Put all 3 zip files on your SD Card
Run AutoRec software (Not sure but connect ur phone to internet over wifi), Install recovery > reboot into recovery
Now in Recovery goto Wipe > Swipe to wipe (Factory Reset)
Go back > Install Zip
Install zips in this order
KK BaseBand > CM > Gapps
wipe/Factory Reset again and Reboot. Hopefully you will have a working Cyanogenmod bootup.
Then Install Zip

[Q] Can I install Omni KK over the stock Rooted Lolipop Nexus 7 (2013) FLO

Hey guys I have not seen this in the Q&A section and I want to make sure I do it right.
I only recently rooted my Nexus 7, been running stock but decided I wanted to have Multi Windows like I have on my Note 4. I have not decided on a ROM as I was looking for the best one so I am still running Stock Rooted 5.0.2 I saw Omni ROM and I think that this would be the best ROM to attempt this as I tried the Xposed method and of course got the boot loop.
I see that currently on OmniROM.com that this device is still running on KK 4.4.4 according to the nightlies. I assume I would need to find a KK stock ROM and flash it on to my Nexus to downgrade back to KK in order to install this ROM, or will this install with TWRP even though I'm running Lollipop?
If so does someone have a quick link to the Stock KK files? I used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to root my device as I did not feel like going through the same hassel as when I rooted my Droid RAZR so I would just tell that to use those files instead.
I am always flashing ROMs on my Note 4 but I have never gone backwards and I think it was possible to install KK ROM once you upgrade to lolly but not use a lolly ROM if your still on KK.

I don't think anyone has done a compatibility check to see what happens if you run a 4.4 build on a device with 5.x bootloaders. It might work, it might do weird things (usually with sensors/wifi)
Multiwindow never got merged, if you want it you'll have to build for yourself and cherrypick it. There were some remaining issues with the patch we never had time to fix, we got too busy with other stuff, and xplodwild wants to rewrite the whole thing after finding a better way to implement it.

Help needed for upgrade

Hi there,
I'm using 4.4.2 wanamlite 2.9 rom on a i9505 with twrp 2.8.
Recently I encountered lot of problems like modem not working properly, rebooting, videos playing in slowmo, no sound etc... weird stuff...
I'm convinced to upgrade to (lets say) marshmallow (any custom rom) but I dunno how to do it properly. So here my questions:
- should I flash the stock rom and start again with root / custom rom etc? Or...
- should I upgrade with odin to stock modem and bootloader first, and after that install a custom rom via twrp? Which way is the correct one?
Btw. Should I upgrade to lolli, marsh or 7.x? Dunno whats better. I'm using touchwiz with xposed framework. I dont need tw but i find xposed very helpful. Any advice or link to guides?
Thanx

Upgrade the individual components. In your case, that means recovery, bootloader, and modem via Odin. Your copy of TWRP is ancient and the newer versions of Android need a newer version of TWRP to properly flash them. Once you've upgraded the components, download any Android 6.x ROM for your device - since you want Xposed - and flash it via TWRP. Android 7.x ROMs are available for your device, but Xposed does not work on them, and I don't expect it to work any time soon.

Thanx Stephron.
Yesterday I updated via .img the recovery (TWRP 3.2).
Now I'll look for bootloader and modem. Should I use the stock ones or are on xda some threads with better modems and bootloaders?
I think I'm going for resurrection remix or for some aosp. Any experience?
Best and happy new year .

Moving to LineageOS worth it (and possible) from Cloudy G2.2?

I've been running Cloudy G2.2 for a year an a half. It's given the phone enough legs to mostly make it through 2017. However, about every other week I have to restore my latest backup when Bluetooth stops working because it saw too many devices. This wouldn't be terrible if it wasn't for Authy refusing to sync my newer 2-Factor auth accounts. I think I've convinced myself that the G6 (US997) is my next phone, but now is a silly time to buy as the price should drop like a rock as the next wave of flagships come out.
I'm hoping to make it another couple months and was wondering anyone's experiences moving from Cloudy G2.2 (or other ROMs) to the latest lineage? From what I've read, it's very stable. However, I'm on Kit Kat bootloader, so it doesn't seem like this will be a straightforward process. I was hoping to get some experiences from people who made the same move before starting.
I currently have:
LG G2 D800
Root using stumproot (I think, it's been a while) with supersu installed
TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed by autorec
Cloudy G2.2 KOT49I

So, after some research, I set off to install LineageOS. In hindsight, this might have been a bad idea since it specifically only mentions the D802 in the title. However, it listed links for D800 builds, though they were crossed out.
I updated TWRP to this version by Blastagator and that was painless. I then wiped the phone, made a fresh backup and flashed the latest nightly of LineageOS, and the latest GApps (Mini) for 7.1. That was disappointing since I got the quick "LG logo" followed by a blank screen, that I later found was mentioned in the same Lineage post. Should've read farther.
I think the issue is that I'm on the wrong bootloader. I thought I was on KitKat which the post requires, but in order to enter recovery, I have to press enter three times (rather than using volume buttons to navigate), which indicates I'm on JellyBean bootloader.
So, this is the scary step that I was hoping to avoid. My big fear is that I run Linux on my desktop, so I can't use the LG Flash Tool. As long as I can keep a working recovery, I have backups, so I'm fairly safe. Following the Blastagator bootloader post, I'm not really sure how you go back and forth between bootloaders so easily as it suggests. Is that really as simple as loading the zip file on the phone and installing it in TWRP?
Is there a safer way to handle this?

From my experience, it is that easy. Simply install the zip file and you have loaded a new boot loader. Also, I was in the same boat as you with Cloudy rom and moved to Nougat with crDroid. However it's not stable and I am considering looking for something else more stable but fast like crDroid.

When you updated your bootloader, were you still able to run the Cloudy ROM before you switched to crDroid? Once I flash the KitKat bootloader, am I only able to use the Nougat ROMs? My big concern is that there might be something a bit off with my bootloader, so I won't be able to get back to TWRP.
I think there's something a bit off with my bootloader as is, because about a year ago I flashed back to stock Jellybean, and took all the OTA updates. However, when the phone tried to take the KitKat update, it softbricked, and could only be recovered using the LG Update Tool, which I don't have access to anymore. Because of this, I'm a little worried that just dropping on the Blastagator KitKat bootloader may have some atypical issues.

i m using it for a while. u know, on Los you won't be able to use lg features such as qslide, qmemo, plug&pop, knockcode etc. Only worth it if you want your phone to look a little bit fresher and lighter or you need a newer android version for some reason. Else, don't take the risk if you can't use flashtool. You can consider installing another kitkat rom. There are lots and they are nice :]

My primary issue is that KitKat (or whatever Cloudy G2.2 is?) has the old Android bluetooth bug where once it sees too many devices, it stops connecting to anything. I have to make sure to turn off my phone if I go somewhere like an airport, and have been having to restore my clean Cloudy backup about once a month. It's getting pretty frustrating. On the other hand, I'm hoping to upgrade to an LG G6 (US997) in a month or two when the V30 release pushes down on prices. So, if it's a case of potentially hard-bricking my G2 at the worst possible time, I should hold off flashing.

I think you need hybrid bootstack for android 7.

That makes sense, but will I not be able to use my Cloudy 2.2 backup after that? It says that the hybrid bootstack will only boot CM 12.1, CM13, and LP stock roms.

These questions if this works with that or that are easier to answer for yourself by reading what goes with what.
Just Google LG G2 bootstack and you can probably find the ones you need for any available rom.
I use hybrid on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but I tried Nougat 7.1.2 too, it works.

It depends on which ROM you want to install.
If the rom that you're looking to install is built on android nougat and below, yes, you can install them, and you can simply look up guides that help you install them.
However, if the rom is built on android oreo or pie, you cannot install them as no kernels for 320s currently support oreo and pie.
Hope this helps.
