Lollipop Rolling out to Verizon VS980 today! 3/30/15 - G2 General

Got the update notification today on my Verizon VS 980 but my battery is not fully charged. The update is Lollipop!
Connected to my laptop now and running it through the LG software update app. Nice! Verizon pushed it out before all the other carriers.
And Some Screen Shots:
David

Can't wait for this to be debloated and made into a flashable zip

Please note OPEN SOURCE DISTRIBUTION LG Channel, they released Lollipop sources (i think, i'm not a dev):
- Open source LGE

That's awesome! How exactly would that help? Would it be easier to make more stable Roms?

Huh, well sadly I am no good at all with kernel anything. Do you know if the kernel source was released for the Korean variant?
We will have to wait for someone to get us a modified kernel or wait for an official KK rom for E970 , because of the difference b/w other variants. "Camera/SDCard"
But thanks a lot for getting a rom though.
There's apparently enough changes between JB and KK stock kernels, and the AOSP kernel source, that we can't get working camera or SD until LG releases the kernel source.
Dont mind my inquisitiveness , but Can't we get the camera codes ported from nexus 4 ? They share the same hardware when it comes to camera module ?
I am very skeptical about any KK release for our variant. AT&T has already given the release for G Pro , if our device were to get any update at least there would have been some word about it from ATT.

All we need is the F180 kitkat kernel source and we'll be fine.
LG is good at releasing their sources, just give it some time.
Thanks a lot mannn, for the ROM. We will wait for the kernel modification.

JB for E971 is ok now, not sure upon initial release so you could be right.

Hello OP,
Can you please post a link to the back up image of the boot only. My internet connection is too slow to download 1.5gb. Currently i am working on a zip. but boot looping. want to try with your kernel
Thanks in advance.:good:
could carry without the kernel or modify a kernel cm 11 for that fence watching the adjustments needed as recovery, translations of app, screen size, and go compacting the rom image of more?

It has been posted here, but camera and SD won't work until LG releases the kernel sources.
If the past is any indication, we'll probably see an update for the E970 in about another 2 months.
action packed e975 based on stock kit kat
Hi all,
out of curiosity, I headed down to the lg optimus G thread (e975 international) and it is loaded with action.
Many have installed the modded stock rom and testing out the kit kat released to the Korean phone.
Surely, some developers of e970 will be able to work forward or port that version to us!!
cheers
milind
We still need kernel source code for some functions to work.
There's a thread there in our forum itself for E970 KK rom ported from F180 , but like it has been mentioned earlier the Camera and SD Card won't work , because of the difference in H/W between the variants.
Lets hope its soon. There is a new version in the developers section that has the camera working but no sd card (they're working on it) that i have been using. Very snappy and great battery life.
sdcard works now....the rom is pretty solid now

That ROM really kick ass. Excellent battery life (on my E971, it seems better than the Omni and Carbon 4.4.2), Android Kitkat, and still all the LG's nice skin and addons. The o/s feels a bit more reactive than the previous ROMs I tried. Everything seems to work, even the notification LEDs.
- You need a recent CWM recovery to install it. I previously had TWM and it did not work. I got CWM-Touch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443041
- Then flash the zip that correspond to your phone (one for E970 with SD card port, one for E971 and E973).
- Boot, select a skin for the weather app if you need it.
- Then flash the AT&T Build.prop mod. Don't do that before the previous step.
Has at&t ever released more than one android update for any LG phone?

[ROM] UltimaROM-Shamu - LMY47Z - 5.1.1 - 20150630

UltimaROM-Shamu​
Information
Welcome to UltimaROM. Some of you may know me from the S3 and S4, some of you may not. This is the first time I've managed to get UltimaROM on an actual Nexus device, despite spending a long time on TouchWiz devices, making them more AOSP-like.
I got this device a couple of days ago, so bare with me while I acclimatise!
Features
OTA Updates (handled by RomHut)
Forced encryption disabled (requires data wipe once)
Stock kernel (for now, you may choose another)
Xposed
Xposed is not supported. You may install it. It may work. But I will not support any Xposed related questions or requests. I will never bundle it with the ROM.
Download
Android Lollipop 5.1.1
Download UltimaROM-Shamu 20150630 here
fda5706978e91c17109cfc18a29ce751
Github: here
Note:
SuperSU is not included by default. I toyed with this idea, and figured it best to leave that up to you to root if you so wish. Many of the intended features of this ROM will work ok without root.
Installation instructions
TWRP 2.8.7.1 or greater is preferred. CWM should be considered "abandoned" these days
Copy the ROM files to your device (I prefer to keep a folder especially for anything ROM related)
Choose "install" in TWRP
Locate this ROM
(Optional) Queue up some other files like SuperSU
Flash

:highfive:
It's literally just a stock ROM right now, as you can see from the changelog. But you have the OTA app if you install and will get OTA's as and when I update with newer features I will deodex, debloat and start adding some proper features soon, I was just excited to post an UltimaROM thread again!
I'm in!
Loved your stuff for my old S4. Awesome to see you in a N6 now!
Think I'm going to give this a go. One question in future of the development are you going to be a adding a theme engine. If so will it be CM or Layers. I only ask as I almost always use layers. Many thanks

Yep, but I really need to get the LYZ28E build deodexed to be able to do anything meaningful with the ROM. Hoping the guys that did the three Deodex'd build will be willing to share their method.

I didn't, but I have now. Erm, AFAIK, there is no way to use CM Theme Engine on these ROMs. I'd like to get Layers working as I intend on theming some apps myself.

If you add layers to it then I will 100% stick with you for it. The guy who brought layers to android is on G+ and from all accounts a really good guy. I'll link you to his community so you can have a look.

Matt, too the best of my knowledge, it would be an almost insurmountable challenge to get stock 5.1.1 in a position to support layers...it's either hard coded themed stock apps or an AOSP based rom if you want a theme platform.
With the advent of M, all of this changes, as RRO appears to be inclusive, so Layers and other platforms that take advantage RRO will work natively.
Ask @daveyannihilation, as I'm certain that he'd love to drone on endlessly about what an incredible guy he is.

It's the latest and greatest of course! I'm on stock, so I'll just wait for OTA but if you're bootloader unlocked it's best to flash these via adb so your device stays up to date at least with the BL, radio, and vendor.

This is meant for custom ROM users - we no longer need to download the *full* factory image even if we're just updating our /vendor monthly.
I personally am grateful for such a collection, not only because of the data flow it saved me, but also because of its convenience (Google is not accessible by normal means in China).

Does it meant that if I want just to get security updates (running stock rom) I just need to flash vendor.img? No system.img is needed?

Nope. ROMs and the partitions supplied here needs to be updated hand in hand. It's the ROM itself (the kernel) that contains the patches.

Agreed. I have all the previous ones for backup, just in case one day I were to flash a ROM developed at a past date. Having a collection thread for that from you (@DHO ) would be nice.

I thought they were backwards compatible?

Radio and Bootloader are backward compatible. However, for some, an older radio version could work better than the most recent one, on the latest update. So you may regard Radio as subjective.
As for vendors, they should be flashed corresponding to their build numbers, so you could say that these are NOT backward compatible
I hope I got your question right. :good:
