[Request] Empty Flash-able Zip for VS980 - G2 General

I was wondering if anyone (dev) can make a empty flashable zip for the VS980 LG G2? I seen these on the GS3 & GS4 before and was needing one for the LG G2, it'd be greatly appreciated :highfive:

Just curious, what would be the purpose for this?

It can be used to put apks in it to flash to our phone or if we want to add a custom bootanimation, etc. Even if we want to theme our phone a certainly way. Just good to have.

Lg Browser?

Has or does any know how to get the stock lg browser to work or where even to find it?
Sent from Bad Azz VZW LG G2 Cyan Tapatalk
Probably not gonna happen. I don't think anyone ever got the Samsung browser to work on the s5 after Verizon stripped it.
Annoys me that Verizon constantly does this stuff. I hope someone gets it to work, I just kinda doubt it

Can I have a link to the stock S5 browser on a Touchwiz Rom? I still have my s5 and can't find it. I know they got it on aosp, but not touchwiz.

I'm new to Verizon the G3 is my first phone with this carrier. Why does Verizon remove the stock browsers?
I'm having trouble with Chrome's latest update causing rendering problems on Web pages with animated GIFS on them. I went to go look for the LG browser and to my surprise there was none. Did a search and found this thread...
Just weird.

Verizon removed the browser, call reject feature, LG update center, task app/widget, I'm sure there's more. It's just what they do.

It downloads the apk then mounts it and it does its thing and it will say please reboot. I hit yes and it reboots but no aosp browser. Then when I open the installer app,it just says aosp browser not installed.

Why don't you do it? Or are you the type of person who prefers to rudely badger other people into doing things for you?
(my "thanks" on your post was accidental and the Tapatalk app won't let me undo it).
Not to mention Hashcode has a TON of devices he supports for SafeStrap.
It's a lot of work to do any of these things that the devs are working on. In time we'll have something I'm sure!

[ROM] AOSP 4.4.4-R2 Geeb [19/08/2014]

Just put this together for myself and decided to share.
Its 100% pure aosp so there isn't much for me to support.
Forgot to mention when I first posted, pre-rooted and busybox pre-installed.
It is set up for Canadian geeb which has green led.
For AT&T you could try xposed and gravity box and set the notification color from there.
Latest build doesn't use touchboost and you should see some battery improvement. Also removed stock aosp recovery from install.

Thanks! Your AOSP 4.4.2 was my first ROM with the geeb, I thought the old thread got bumped until I realized the date and version. I love all the bells and whistles of CM based ROMs, but AOSP + Gravity Box is a pretty good combo.

This is a boot.img for gee I just built:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712460412
Flash the rom as is, and fastboot flash boot boot.img after should work.
Or just replace it in the rom. Whichever is easier for you.
Let me know if it works, if it does I will start a new thread in International forum for you guys and upload a zip with this boot.img in it.
Just installed, and the ROM is working smoothly. Thank you very much for this!

If you have an e975 it should work just fine.
Only difference between our phones is the camera module.

They are CDMA and not GSM right?
Maybe as simple as a build.prop edit network??

Yes, we are CDMA. One of our first KK ROMs was actually an AOSP geeb port, exactly like this ROM (but older), and it worked. So its definitely possible!

[Q] VZW G3 and edge.

I'm on Verizon's edge plan. Have been for little over a month. I want the nexus 6 when they have it in the store. I'm rooted. Would it be bad if I bump'd it and installed a Rom on my g3? Or should I just wait? How do I unroot when the time comes?

When I joined the edge program, I traded in my unlocked, rooted Galaxy S3. When I traded in my Note 3 for the LG G3, it was also rooted. All they care is that the device boots up and isn't damaged.
I'm debating jumping to the Nexus 6 when it comes out, it all depends on dev support now that the G3 has been opened up.

Okay good. I'm just more familiar with nexuses. I had a galaxy nexus, a 4 and 5. So. Yeah. And with the g3 you can't do much. If I understand correctly, you can't run a Rom with a different base as the stock Rom. So most aosp and lollipop Roms are out. And on my n5 I ran the loli dev preview. Its nice and clean. I loved it.

"Bone up"? So are you saying I'm dead wrong? I thought that was the case. It had to have the same base or something. I don't know. I figured if it was completely open I'd see things like AOKP, CM, and PA... but like I said. I'm familiar with the nexus line. The G3 made me realize how much I don't know about Android and how much a breeze nexus is. It's a learning experience.
