[Q] Am I the last person on 4.2.2? - Verizon LG G2

Anyone else still on 4.2.2 12b? My phone is rooted but I am using the stock ROM. All I needed root for was the hotspot provisioning fix and Titanium Backup Pro so I could freeze a bunch of stuff.
Other than that, my battery is amazing. The phone works perfectly with the exception of the camera. Its not bad, but I heard a fix was out in 4.4.2
I'm not sure I'll ever upgrade!! This version is totally workable.

Yep, on 4.2.2
Froze the updater app after it tried and failed the OTA a few times.
Rooted and removed as much VZW bloatapps as I wanted.
I'm curious about the new stuff, but I will wait until the smart guys on here make the update smooth/painless.

Tjats my thought too!!

As am I. Just been too lazy to backup everything and update to 4.4.2. The Google Music bug is also making me hesitant

That bug sucks, I switched to AOSP because of it. I don't get why it's taking LG/Google so long to fix it.

Ok then, I have a question. You can see I posted a thread earlier using another method from LifeHacker, how do I go about getting this one instead?
i posted a link to a youtube video how-to
Guess this only works for deodexed roms or deodexed versions of stock ics roms?
Worked great. Rooted Stock OTA ICS on Droid 4. However, it says there is an update available, and play store will not install it.
Any idea how to get it?
EDIT: Ok, Most of it worked great, right up until I tried to use my blutooth headset to initiate a call. The voice recognition here was all messed up. Nothing I tried worked, and I tried for 3 days to get a solution. Because I use this function so often, I had to remove this and go back to the standard ICS search. Also noticed it was a serious battery drain. Unfortunate. I really liked it.

Very bothersome Play Store error

Error retrieving information from server. (RPC: S-5: AEC-0) - This is the error that greets me any time I try to download anything on ANY of my Google accounts on play store. I can temporarily remedy the problem by removing my Google account and then adding it back, but after one or two app purchases, whether it be free or paid, the problem comes back. If it could cause an issue, I do have about 3 apps that I didn't get from Play Store, but rather downloaded the APK through the internet and installed on my phone (these were free). I decided to start doing this instead because this Play Store issue is becoming so tiresome. Any solutions? I am running Jellybean leak 4.1.1 with the OTA.
I had the same problem on my phone while I was on the leak...I couldn't figure out how to fix it...Luckily the official JB came out and I RSD'd back to official ICS so I could get the official JB update OTA. Haven't had the problem since being on the official JB. good luck

I was under the impression you couldn't roll back to ICS even with RSD while you were on the JB OTA? ... I do have a restore file from my 4.0.4, could I try restoring to this or would it bork the phone up hard? If I am stuck with this error until 4.2 comes out or something I can update to at least, I will be pretty upset but at least I will have my answer!

You could roll back on the very first JB leak, as long as you didn't take the OTA for it.
Since then, no rollback using anything

Thanks a lot for the replies guys. I will look on that link when I get home and see if I can resolve anything. As to ATGAdmin, thanks alot for clearing things up. I am on the OTA so i can't roll back, sadly. Will get back to you with results.

[Q] Upgrade to Official JB OTA from leaked ICS ota

I have tried my best to search the forums for this so if I missed it being mentioned somewhere I do apologize. I'm trying to be extra careful because the only reason I even have a Bionic is because my friend gave me her used one after my Rezound died and I don't want to lose another phone. Basically, when she had it she updated it to ICS using a leaked ota because of data connection issues. It fixed the issues, but now the phone can't be updated using the official JB OTA. My question is can the ota be flashed somehow. I don't need the phone to be rooted (my Rezound was so if I absolutely have to I can do it), I would prefer just to be on stock 4.1.2. I'm including a screen shot so everyone can see what version I am running. I've only had the phone a day so I appreciate the info. I'm not a develeoper, but I can certainly flash ROM's no problem.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Flashing 4.2.2 over 4.3

Hi guys,
I just want to ask if it is possible to flash any 4.2.2 Rom over a 4.3 one without changing the Bootloader or Modem (as far as I know kernel there are no other things updated in 4.3 except some features in stock Rom and kernel). I'm sorry if there is a thread like this one out there but I couldn't find it on my phone app
Thanks in advance for your time and help

It's because I like to have all the possibilities to personalise nz phone, and Roms like MIUI won't get 4.3 support in the next time it's just my opinion

4.3's stock kernel sucks hard. I've experienced "unexpectedly closed" errors with certain apps and the device sometimes reboots itself without apparent reason. Had to flash the latest franco's nightly kernel in order to get this faulty release somewhat stable.
Nice GoinGoogle.

It is possible with custom recovery, not possible with fastboot without updating the bootloader. You may use any modem. You need 4.3 kernel.
EDIT: my bad, it was other way around. Yes, it is possible.
4.3 stinks like hot garbage. I'm not upgrading, and I'm going to downgrade my new N7 to 4.2.2 if possible. 4.3 is like windows ME.
I still have 4.2.2 on my N4 and have only tried 4.3 on my Kindle Fire. From my experience I have little interest in upgrading my N4 for the time being, since 4.3.x will likely fix all the JSS and JWR issues.

I think your problem is caused by your usage pattern / apps which are not updated for 4.3, combined with unstable root. Don't blame Google unless you experience the same behaviour on unrooted stock.

Wrong.
I experienced those crashes while on stock, even with google applications. that's a faulty release, not faulty device nor usage. for god sake, even "settings" menu has "unexpectedly closed" on me once.

I have had totally different experience with 4.2.2. To be honest I didn't like it at all. I didn't find it as "rock solid" as many other users here. (I came from Galaxy Nexus. Android 4.2 compared to really rock solid jzo54k 4.1.2 was imo buggy as hell. It didn't bring any performance boost but rather did the opposite: BT, WIFI issues, mem leak etc.) Plus I found this low touch sensitivity extremaly irritating. I use rooted stock 4.3 and so far I haven't noticed any bigger issues. Even if I do I really don't see a point to go back to still buggy 4.2.2. I think my device performs much better on 4.3. Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but it feels snappier and smoother. Just my subjective opinion.
Of course I do understand people that miss their favorite custom roms, whose 4.3-versions are still unavailable.
4.2.2 had and has clearly wifi/bt issues (major data stalls, difficulties in re-enabling bt after 20-30 hours of uptime).
These issues were solved. however, I'd expect 4.3 to be as stable as it can be, especially when it took more than 5 months for its release. Unfortunately, that's not the case. not even close, which is rather embarrassing.
I really was expecting for iOS-like smoothness and stability by now.

Maybe that's been your experience but my experience has been the exact opposite. It's made my N4 even more of a pleasure to use. It's smoother, snappier, and battery life is amazing. Mind you, I've never really had any problems with 4.2.2 except maybe GPS locking problems, which 4.3 solved. The only real problem with 4.3 is this whole JWR/JSS nonsense.

Not sure what's going on your end but my phone has been rock solid with no FCs at all since upgrading to 4.3 using the factory image (I never go the OTA route)
In case you're both running a stock 4.3 (unrooted), you're more than welcomed to run "angry gran run - running game" by ace viral and watch it boldly & proudly crash. If not on beginning, after few minutes. Just only one example out of many.

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
I am on AOKP milestone 1 might update to milestone 2 soon. But what do I have to keep in mind when making the jump to 4.3? Will I be able to downgrade later without problems? I dont understand the modems and bootloader stuff. Plus if I flash 4.3 I will lose root, so how do I flash 4.3 without loosing root? do I root the phone again after flashing? or is there a shortcut?

You can flash a 4.3 rom in recovery, but its recommended to flash radio and bootloader in recovery.

Android 4.3 ROMs require radio version .84 (or a hybrid 27/84 or 33/84 radio) and bootloader version makoz20i. As Thibaultvw points out radio version .84 and bootloader version makoz20i are both available as flashable zip files and should both be installed before installing a 4.3 based ROM. In addition, Android 4.3 requires SuperSU version 1.51 for working root privileges.
After upgrading the radio and bootloader for Android 4.3, you can restore or install an Android 4.2.2 ROM without changing the bootloader or radio.

No. This really is just stock firmware package. I will be making a hotspot mod today and will share it separately.
After searching all the 39A threads and QA threads that belonged to them, I found I'm the only person who actually uses the weather animations on the lock screen, which seem to not be working for me. Just wanted to see if it was a "me" issue or just a bug of the build. Don't shun me too hard.

Doesn't matter what your current version is. Just boot into recovery, flash the 39A bootstack, wipe, and then flash the rom and you're good to go

No, read the OP. Clean flash is a must going from KK to LP
Can anyone please make a small video review. Thanks.
Just want clarification... If I'm going to flash this I will first flash the 39a bootstack, then wipe, then flash the ROM and should be all set, right?
Second question (might be stupid): If I want to restore back to CR Droid, which is on 26a bootstack, would I first need to flash the 26a bootstack before restoring in TWRP, or just restore without flashing the bootstack?
Has anyone tried flashing Cerberus as a system app on this ROM? I get a broken app icon and it force closes as soon as it opens. Running it as a user app works fine. Not sure if this is a problem with the current version of Cerberus or if 39A has something weird going on with it.
Thanks
Edit: Got it resolved. Doesn't look like it was the ROM or the app. Possibly the flash failed or there was some junk (dex file maybe) left over from previous install. Cleaning up and reinstalling worked.

Yes you will need to flash the 26a bootstack before restoring your 26a rom. And yes to your first question on flashing 39a

Did a test yesterday while I was at work. My phone stayed in my car. I had flashed this version a couple days ago. Have limited apps installed at this point. Xposed alpha installed running g3 twesksbox. Smart unlock app running. 4 email accounts set to push notifications (2 gmail, 2 stock app). Wifi, Bluetooth, nfc, location all off. Connected to a good 4g signal. Got emails on 3 accounts and a text. No incoming phone calls. Essentially no screen on time. Started at 100% at 6am after a fresh boot while plugged in. At 4pm my battery was at 99%.
Today I left my phone in the car for 6 hours today. Wifi on but not connected. Location on. Got one missed phone calls, a Google voice notification, a text, emails on 3 accounts, a Google+ notification, and an untapped notification. Hadn't rebooted since the last time mentioned above. Lost 5% in that time (40 to 35).
Started using or on my way home and dropped pretty fast. Phone calls, bad reception in target, price comparing Amazon. Lost 25% in an hour.
Maybe some aspect of lollipop is causing battery drain, but it only appears to be when actively using it. I'm going to keep playing with it. Maybe the kernel is keeping the cpu clocked higher. I'll probably install Better battery stats and amplify to see if anything is obvious.

So far, the only problem I have with this Rom is that I have no sound. I'm sitting in a veterinarians waiting room right now. What can I try? I've attached a screenshot of some info about my phone.

That does sound kind of funny. I copied a post I made in another thread when I had less information (only had the full day with no use). Was getting impatient with myself toward the end (dinner was done) and didn't do a good job editing.
Seriously though, it is curious that standby time is as good as I have ever had but seems drain faster in use. Androids battery stats don't seem to show anything standing out.
