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

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.

Good info to start. I have work to do now. Will be around for a while. Thanks!! :good:
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

Look for Mahdi under original lg2 development. It's on there. Just follow the steps
We are witnessing the great activities of developers and the appearance of more custom ROMs in the last time. All of them are lolipop custom roms and I wonder why there is so little KK cusom ROM (only Microkat ). It would be nice if some of the developers made a decent kk custom rom, because I think kk is much more appropriate for our phone. What do you think?
I don't think KK is more appropriate for our phone.
The memory issue is quite annoying. i cant even play music while browsing the web in google chrome.
And the main reason actually is because the rollout of lollipop. I bet most people are interested in the newest version of Android then a older one.

KitKat is much smoother and faster on our phone than lollipop, some people say lollipop is more smoother on our phone and i say WTF.

Why do You think so? Yes , RAM managment in Kitkat is bad , but I found that in lollipop is even worse.
With all other bugs from lollipom I think that is KK better option for now.
I still hope we will see CM 11 or PA based on KK for our device.

Sure we don't get much KK roms. I'm not interested in porting & fixing CM11 so I guess no one will do it XD
I have received the new lollipop update today, and I must say that it's faster and smoother than kitkat. Oh and battery live is also better.

It's not smoother and faster on my phone. Lollipop is just as smooth and fast on my Moto as KtKat was.

A LOT of the poor performance issues of Lollipop can be cured by either a clean flash or factory reset
- can be a pain to reload stuff but can improve Lollipop no end
- battery use can be masked by clean flash - no apps etc
- once you load everything you had on kitkat it is the same or worse, depends on usage.
Lollipop use ART , Kitkat uses DALVIK, in time DALVIK will be phased out or not supported by apps

Yes i know , and thank You for hard work on CM 12.
If I had enough knowledge to do it myself it would be nice.
But who knows, hope dies last.
my 2012 khd7 is running 7.5.1 currently and it already constantly crashes immediately after i factoryreset it. i cant imagine loading anything else. i am interested in lp 5 but would load 4.x if it performs more stable.
thanks!

Right now the most stable is CM11 and Beanstalk for KitKat,and CM12 and LiquidSmooth for Lollipop. But LP still has bugs but it runs better than KK for its ART runtime.
thx. when you say lp runs 'better' do you mean faster or just more stable? i cant decide what to go with... i'll test it with cm11
cm11 m12

Hello, if you would like to get a custom ROM, you have to downgrade and download twrp recovery to access that. Also, can your device be recognized over adb? If it can, then make a Google search "freedom boot IMG. 7.5.1 and press on the webpage akauntu.blogspot and follow his tutorial. Also currently there are no official cm12 lollipop roms, so just download and flash a cm11 snapshot and gapps from the links on the website. I'm currently running cm11 m12, the latest update, and it runs quite smooth (a lot faster than 7.5.1 please tell me if everything went well! Oh, and remember before flashing, make a factory reset
excellent. that was the response i was looking for. thank you! i dont have time yet... but when i do... i'll sit down and iron through it.
at the very least, it ought to get rid of the bloatware that comes with amazon eco systems.

Currently running CM12 but can't find ART in dev options. I found it in CM11. Is it not supported?
*never mind. I guess it runs art and there is no dalvik. That's disappointing. Thought it might've helped with lp stability on kfhd.
Hey all,
So I recently developed an Xposed module while running KitKat. I released it and users are having trouble getting it to work correctly when running Lollipop 5.1.1 - can someone recommend me a stable ROM with working Bluetooth, SMS, and support for Xposed?

There are many great ROMs on every variant of the HTC One M7 that run well on 5.1.1. My personal favorite is Candy5, which can be found here.
In terms of Xposed itself, as long as you flash the correct framework flashable for the version of Android you're running, (in your case, 5.1.1) then everything will work.
For the correct framework files to flash on top of your 5.1.1 ROM of choice, here they are.
Get the arm version, NOT arm64. Arm is the compatible version for our phone.
On top of this, you need to install the .apk for Xposed as well to utilize the framework modules (this shouldn't be a surprise to you, as you've used Xposed on KitKat)

Thanks for the reply! I ended up trying out Candy and AICP... both are kinda buggy, though. AICP doesn't find my cell network, and Candy makes weird static noises randomly Which ROM do you use?

I use Candy5 as a daily driver and actually, I helped the ROM developer fix the static noise you mentioned. The link for the full ROM with that fix can be found here. It's by far the smoothest (and most stable) stock-like ROM on the m7spr because of the wonderful Candy Kernel baked in.

Awesome, I'll check that link out. How is the battery life for you? Last time I actually "tried" Lollipop ROMs were a few months ago, and battery life was pretty bad which kept me on KitKat.

You're right in that Lollipop ROMs have pretty terrible battery life. This one has much better battery than any other ROM on stock Android. It's not great, but it is rather good once your battery is optimized to it, considering.
For example, I went to a theme park with this ROM and I would check my phone just about every ten minutes. When I got to the park itself, it was only on 10% (reason being because I didn't charge it overnight, haha!). With power saver mode enabled, it lasted over three hours before dying, which is impressive for any ROM, let alone a Lollipop ROM.
It's a fine accomplishment of the CandyROM team for sure.
