need custom recovery in stock 4.4.2 rooted

Hi guys
I just got my Verizon G2 2days ago and was able to root but all the threads that I find are confusing. I need a custom recovery to start flashing ROMS but don't know what to install. I have searched. How can I install TWRP 2.7.0.0?
Thanks
Mario

Excellent! Thank you very much. Did my first nandroid backup and here I go XDABBEB's VS98024A v1.1.1 !!!!
Thanks again
Mario

Other question how do I know if I have a full 24A bootstack already. I got the phone 3 days ago. I installed the 4.4.2 update (2 updates) and then I rooted and installed the last recovery. I am ready for flashing but I don't know if I have 24A bootstack. Can anybody clarify? I am new to LG world coming from the Galaxy S4, S5 and then HTC One M8. I am liking better the LG G2.
Thanks
Mario

If you took the OTA to 4.4.2 you're on the 24A bootstack. You're all set. When you start flashing ROMs be sure they are for 24A before you flash. If they're not they won't boot without the 12B radios.

Great! I can't wait to start flashing. Thanks! Any recommendations on ROMs?. I like stock look but is a little slow. I guess if I have the same system just faster I would be happy.
Thanks again. Enjoying my new forum and phone so far.
Best

For 24A we have the stock based ROMs. Like Malladus, Cloudy and a few others. AOSP for 24A is currently Carbon, there's a CM11 build for 24A in the VZW development section. C-Rom, Resurrection Remix and Mahdi. Which I highly recommend, so much closer to AOSP than CM and the others as dr87 pulls in stuff from the N5 to make our G2 as awesome as possible. Personally its my favorite. I'd keep an eye on the thread and wait til the next build for that one though. Should be coming soon.

AOSP ROM Suggestions

Currently using the 3/1 CM 11 build, and since it's not really being updated and there were so many issues with it, i'm trying to see if it's possible to get a completely AOSP very stable build on the G2. I'm talking google boot animation and the whole 9. Any suggestions would be nice. Kinda getting annoyed with random reboots, especially while i'm on the phone, along with the screen coming on during phone calls. Thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of any that are going to be completely AOSP with no tweaks. C-ROM, CarbonROM, and Mahdi, come to mind for light-weight AOSP, but even they have built-in tweaks.

light tweaking is ok, as long as there's no major color changes or anything. i do like being able to have an NFC toggle in the quick settings

vanir is good

You can try JackpotClavin's CM11 builds for the 24A OTA release. I haven't had a single crash since I switched to his build.

Vanir is beyond stable, and is 4.4.3.

Mahdi is based on n5

You need to stop using AOSP roms built on the JB source if you want to get away from the SOD's. Update your bootstack following the steps in JackPotClavin's CM11 based on 24A thread and you're free to install any of the AOSP roms built on top of 24A.

There are many 24a based roms that run perfect:
Vanir, Beanstalk, carbonrom, crom, and gummyrom just to name a few.

thanks for the input everyone. i think i'm gonna try updating the bootstack and trying out either mahdi or vanir after work. just looking for the closest ROM to a nexus 5

AOSB Project [1.3.6] [07/24] All Linaro toolchains

July 24: this is my build with Dorimanx kernel compiled with Linaro 4.9 arm-eabi and the rest compiled with Linaro 4.9 arm-linux-eabi. In short, all facets of this ROM are compiled with Linaro 4.9.
Link here: AOSB_All_Linaro
I use this as my daily driver. Works perfectly so far!
As always, I'm not responsible for any damage or problems you may experience with this ROM

Flashed the JC version. So far so good. Still loading up apps.

@ishyesh
Thanks again for the builds. Still haven't flashed your jackpotclavin build, I downloaded the dorimanx version, I'll give that a flash first.
Edit, nvm, I forgot Mahdi uses n5 sounds versus lg

So far the JC build is great. I forget how much I miss AOSP. I'm loving the hover and having Halo again. I installed V4A and the volume is great.
After running for awhile, I wasn't able to get the ROM to sleep at all. Wakelock detector really didn't show anything and neither did better battery stats.

I can confirm on the dorimanx build, that the same thing is keeping it from sleeping as well.
Seems like a lot of cm base Roms are having the issue. Gotta love cm butchering commits.

Do core 3 and 4 not respond to any changes in CPU frequency governors? The best way to test would be to try and change the governor from conservative to performance. What should happen is that core 3 and 4 should be going full blast on the performance governor but not the conservative governor.
Thanks!

I actually tried both builds and it didn't sleep on either. I won't have time tonight but I'll restore tomorrow and give it a whirl.

Seems like cm pushed a fix for the sleep issue, at least on crDroid. I had an issue with it not sleeping, then after the build today, no issues at all.

Good to know. I'll flash this over when there's a new build. I'd prefer the JC kernel if possible just because I won't have to redo anything on my backup. I've commenced operation "Drink Beer" already so it won't happen today. Happy 4th to all!

Thanks for the update! I'll hunt down the commit and compile soon! Enjoy July 4th =)

I'm running though some trouble with SystemUI repetitive force closing on my latest AOSB builds...I have a hard time tracing what's wrong. Whenever I get a build running properly, I'll post it right away!

New builds!
Alright everyone, I've posted new builds for the vs980 with the Dorimanx and the Render kernels. I haven't had a chance to test these out yet, my phone is getting back from warranty replacement.
Also, you'll notice there are d800 builds present. I'm not going to start a thread in the LG G2 AT&T forums because AOSB officially supports d800. However, please feel free to use these. I haven't yet tested out the d800 builds either.
EDIT: I haven't seen any changes on the Beanstalk github page, so I'm going to focus my efforts on compiling AOSB for now.

Hi all, new build is up which is compiled with ALL linaro 4.9 toolchains. I have a vs980 in hands now, and have tested it out. ROM works flawlessly. Kernel, even more so =D

Firekat. Definitely Firekat.

Been running rapture for over a month now and is buttery smooth.
But try a few yourself, and see which one works best for your needs.

this here.
But if you want my opinion it's stock rom.

Rapture rom for me

Stock, though not a rom, is the most stable.
Stability depends on the user phone as well as what the user does with it. Rapture works great on my phone but I have seen complaints of instability. Firekat also work great on my phone, as well as dynamic and all the ports. Yet, I have seen complaints of instability. Now the AOSP based roms are truly unstable because they are in the testing, beta phase considering they are not a native build for our Touchwiz based samsung device. Not every device is made the same so flash and see which loves your phone the best.
Hope that helps.

good news everybody Official AICP nightlies are here
http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=trltetmo

Rapture ran the smoothest for me and would be my go to but I ran into signal issues for some reason. Firekat and infamous I run right now and haven't had any issues yet.

Fire Kat V8 for sure.
Be sure to follow instructions to enhance battery life too and you should be getting about 8 hours of screen time.

I see in the fire Kat OP It seems to be a little confusing as to how to install. Is there a base ROM that flashes before V8?

Mega recommends a clean flash.
Basically just wiping cache, Dalvick, and data in the team win recovery.
But you can flash firekat over anj or ank.
I finally flashed the whole ank update. Bootloader and all.
That's what I flashed firekat v8 on top of:

The additional tweaks in the op2 are tight, and increase battery life a lot, but installing firekat is just like installing any other rom.

AICP is based off of AOSP, all the custom roms that are not TouchWiz are AOSP based roms even CM. AICP (Android Ice Cold Project) is a custom rom with a lot of customization options they are not all added as of yet but they certainly are being added gradually.

Definitely stock

They are all stable for the people using them. Some minor bugs might be there, but might not be noticed by others. So by asking this you will get a list of all the popular ROMs. You need to make a backup, read the development threads to find one that has all the features YOU want and try it. If you find a bug, search that thread to see if a fix or workaraound was posted. You will find much more self satisfaction and knowledge in this path of discovery.

[Q] official cm12 nightlies have popped up for the vs980, anyone try this yet?

So I have noticed in the last two days or so that some official nightlies for CM12, anyone try this yet? Anyone have any good instructions to follow for someone using cm11?

both failed when trying to flash
hopefully @JackpotClavin can get us a working build

Are they jb or lollipop based?

Do I need to flash a different gapps version first?

You need GAPPS for 5.0. Different than cm11.

ok, just want to make sure i have the process down, I flash this new nightly, and then the new gapps? Also how is the rom working so far

Seems okay to me. I haven't tried the GPS or Bluetooth. Haven't done anything but SMS and MMS so far.

Gapps 5.0? not 5.1? I was going to download gapps fromt this thread

CM12 is 5.0.2. The nightlies aren't cm12.1, which is 5.1.1

Another dumb question. I have CWM recovery installed, is that good or should I have TWRP? Thanks in advance.

another nightly jumped on, somebody tried this new update? How cyanogen is working now that is official?

Yeah i wish we had more comments on how it is working so far, this is my only phone and don't want to brick it or be out of commission for too long of a time
