Oct-L on LG G3 Sprint ls990

Oct-L on LG G3 Sprint ls990 - Sprint LG G3

Hi - I've been lurking and reading about Oct-L OS on xda. I have LG G3 ls990 from Sprint. It's currently rooted, has Xposed, on 4.4.2 zv4 and has a bump'd TWRP. I realize I will lose Xposed, but I just wanted to add any info that may impact a ROM switch. My questions are can I flash Oct-L straight from the OctOS site or do I need to find a Bump'd Oct-L somewhere else? Are there any other upgrades needed, i.e. to zv6?
Thanks,
JB

Oct-l is bumped, all you'd need is the lollipop gapps, I recommend banks gapps, they to me are the best, and xposed, there is xposed for any 5.1.1 rom, so, if you want to go to Oct-l, you shouldn't have any issues, just backup your current rom, and do a wipe of system, both caches, and data, then install Oct-l, then the gapps, it'll take a few minutes to boot... And if you want to install xposed, let it boot, get it set up, then flash xposed, The reason why I know this is because I'm constantly changing roms... Plus I'm also a tester for octos... So I know lol

Excellent! Thanks for the info!
Any bugs I should be on the lookout for?

Not that I know of, it should be running just fine, team octos won't post a rom unless it's tested vigorously, so you should be fine

Great! I'm looking forward to a better Android experience. Love the LG, had it for the past year, but miss my Nexus and its simplicity.

[Q] Why are there no vanilla Android 5.1 ROMs?

This is something I've always wanted for my G3, a vanilla ROM that's always up to date with the latest Android version, but without any "extras" and "features" seen in typical ROMs. I don't like having to deal with frequent ROM updates that add new features/create new problems. I just want a clean ROM that works like a Nexus device.
Why does this not exist?
(If it already exists I have not come across it yet)

When you say vanilla I'm assuming you mean AOSP, in that case we do have cm12.1, but I don't know if that's what you mean when it comes to "frequent ROM updates"
But if you're asking as to why we don't have a stock 5.1 ROM, that would be because LG hasn't released a base for it yet

CM is not aosp based, it's cm based.
Yes, the argument could be made that everything starts with aosp, but AFAIK there is little true aosp left in cm, and mostly custom cm code.
As for the op,
You get what devs decide to build. Your question is borderline offensive.

Well, you could always start a stock rom, root it, and use Titanium Backup to remove any feature you don't want and arrive to a "vanilla ROM". The ROM development is a hobby for the dev, so of course there are "frequent ROM updates". By the way, LG has not released the 5.1 yet, they are still on 5.0.1 (23c).

Been using validus for days. Works great. No freezes. Don't use the features if you don't want em.

will the ls990 get official cm14

so will us sprint variants vet cm14 as well? What do you think

anyone??????

Yes, it most likely will. Still working through some issues but I would expect it at some point in the future.

You might get better exposure and more answers if this thread was in the Sprint Q&A section.

no idea but we have CypherOS which is pretty mush stable if your on sprint and has a few bugs if on Boost Mobile

i tried grabbing that here- http://get.cypheros.co -but the ls990 says--> No downloads available <--
The XDA page links there as well (it's incorrectly listed as the ls900)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-cypheros-3-0-1-cheesecake-t3490515
luckily the mirror link works...
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125844
i'm going to try it out, thanks for mentioning it (odd that the downloads are so hard to come by though)
*** just an update ... tried it but miracast didn't work, so i wiped it, i'm about to test the newest cm14 unofficial build to see if miracast works (it doesn't work on cm13 builds for me on both d851 & ls990) The official cm14.1 builds for the T-Mobile d851 has Miracast working if that helps anyone.

Official builds are now available. (https://download.lineageos.org/ls990)
Make sure you follow the recommendations on http://lineageos.org/Update-and-Build-Prep/ if you plan to install the official nightly.
Regarding installation, we recommend that users wipe when switching to LineageOS, and reinstall their gapps. However, we recognize that this can be time consuming, so we are offering an EXPERIMENTAL (read as, if it fails, you’ll have to wipe anyways) solution.
•Alongside the ‘weekly’ release for your supported device, we’ll provide an EXPERIMENTAL data migration build.
•This build will allow you to ‘upgrade’ from CM to the signed LineageOS weekly
•This build may wipe permissions (you’ll have to re-allow app permissions), but should retain all user data
•This build will be watermarked with an ugly banner to ensure that you don’t permanently run this EXPERIMENTAL release, and upgrade to a normal weekly after.
•The process for this installation will be as follows:
◦Install EXPERIMENTAL migration build on top of cm-14.1 build (don’t try to install LineageOS 13.0 on top of CM 14.1, that will not work).
◦Reboot
◦Install LineageOS weekly build
◦Reboot
◦Re-setup your application permissions

I finally got around to creating a dedicated thread for the ls990 on LineageOS 14.1

[ROM][CM14.1][UNOFFICIAL] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE SM-T285

*** This project is now abandoned in favor of the LineageOS variant ***
This is a port of Cyanogenmod 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. Cyanogenmod needs no introduction, it is one of the most popular aftermarket ROM distributions around.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
As this is the first CM-14.1 release, I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on Cyanogenmod 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.

Fixed GPS, Wifi Hotspot, Graphics issues, Calls, Camera,sdcard is now marked as adoptable.
Works:
- Wifi/SMS
- Audio
- Graphics with glitches (minor screen tearing, blank screen showing up on overlays)
- GPS
- Wifi Hotspot
- Incoming/Outgoing Calls
- MTP
Does not work:
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- LTE (Due to APN issues)
- Battery Meter not updating
Bugs/Known Issues
* Problems recording video
Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section.
BUILD12032016
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Nice job!!!

Great job! The ROM is impressively fluid, and I particularly love the way it renders fine text, which I appreciate because I prefer DPIs of 140 to 160. Unfortunately, just like in the early iterations of OmniROM 6.0, the tablet will not connect to the internet over cellular networks no matter how much I tinker with APNs. It's a great build, nevertheless, and I look forward to future releases.

Thank you !! Will give it a try.

posting here too (as did on omni - realized this is the cm 14.1 board)...
"briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)
noticed here too the signal tends to drop in and out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work"
keyboard much better here too
on both cm14.1 and the omni, the dialer tends to be have some lag when pressing the numbers (do it too fast and can get many errors)-minor thing understand this is an alpha and the omni is a beta
thanks

I can't get Soft Keys to work, worked fine on the Omni ROM, only problem I have come across so far.

needs some xml changes that needs to be compiled into the framework for that I believe. Though there are more critical bugs I need to fix with this 7.1 rom.

I wish I could help in some way, appreciate your work.

thank for your awesome work, but i cant download any app from Playstore, it's downloading for a long time, i tried many way to force it works but nothing change. Have any one meet this trouble?

Thank Jedld, i has tried 27th,october version and it WORKS, thank.

I used the version as recommended in the Omni ROM, which was from the 9th of November, no problems with the app store or downloading apps either.

Any closer to another release ?

Those patches didn't help unfortunately Though I've fixed network type selection in CM-14.1 already, unfortunately data connection still won't come online due to errors related to APNs. Seeing as this was working perfectly in CM-13 this could be a CM-14 or Nougat related change, it will take a while to figure out what that is. As for bluetooth I was able to get it to turn on, however it is still unable to detect/pair to any device, this is also something that was working in CM-13.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for the Verizon LG G3 (vs985)

I'm not sure what the holdup is on the
Official Lineage Verizon builds for the G3,
(as of this writing that directory is still empty), but I just switched over to Verizon with their new Unlimited data plan and I decided to build my own this morning. I saw that a few people had been wanting this, so I figured I'd put it up here.
** Note that I compiled this with 'export WITH_SU=true' so there is no need to use the 'addonsu-arm-signed.zip' (root addon) that they provide, as it's built into this rom already.

sure, it has plenty of bugs, but no more than any other current lineage 14.1 build (I've tested lineage on a samsung galaxy s5, htc one m8, lg g3 (ls990), lg g3 (d851), and an lg g3 (d855)... this build works virtually identical to those.
cm13 is still the best way to go for now if you need stability, i just wish miracast worked better... lineage 14.1 did improve miracast quite a bit, but theres other problems... like conflicts with certain apps (like power toggles, the hotspot won't function properly, you have to enable that via lineage menus, might be an issue with their new su/root implementation) stuff like that.
but... it runs just as well as any of the 'official' builds if that helps answer your question

good work thank you

Upload
Thank you for this, been waiting.
Uploaded with Banks Dynamic Mini Gapps and 35B modem. Everything is clean and seems to be working great. Will you continue to keep it updated with the latest from lineage as they continue to update the rom.

Great rom, but when I enable encryption and reboot the phone hangs on the LG logo and bootloops.
Edit: Encryption is broken in Lineage 14.1 currently

the bot builds on fridays

Been using 307 Rom for two days and am impressed. Great battery life, smooth, and good calling on 35b.
Thanks for your work.

looks like it's finally been added to the official builds,
i'll continue to do builds of lineage 13.0 for this phone, as thats what i'm using,
but no sense in continuing this thread....
here's the first official build:

Has anyone used the official build for the G3?
My fiance has one, and I may steal her phone and flash it. Battery life would be nice, as well as getting rid of the VZ bloat. Any bugs? App compatibility? Thanks!

yes im using nice rom

I have used Bailx 304 and 307 roms, and loaded the official Lineage 310 rom today. Lineage had done a great job with 14.1 with excellent battery life, smoothness, and speed. I have tried all the 7.1 roms for the G-3, and all are exceptional in how far they have come with reliability. I basically use my phone for that purpose, a few texts, and a few photos, so I'm not much into a lot of mods. The only one I really use is Nova Launcher to set up the way I like. The Gapps I used were the Banks Dynamic Mini and by the time I had finished setting my phone up I had used 5.9 gig of 32.

any chance these builds can have volte on vs985? Is that feasible at all? Please let me know.

and how is the camera quality of this rom as compared to stock and other aosp/cm based rom?

Here's a link to resurrection remix. It's pretty good. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-resurrectionremix-m-v5-7-4-t3542355. Most N roms are stable. You have instructions how to install the rom and what gapps to use in the first post on the rom thread. It's also pre rooted.
For the future, when you want to install root just flash this: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk

Heyyo, for the most stable Nougat ROM? I'd recommend OmniROM. It's not as bleeding edge in changes such as BlackX or Resurrection Remix but it is built for stability upon OmniROM and Darkobas kernel. Depending as well on the build of Resurrection Remix it could have battery drain issues as you'll see on and off in the thread.
OmniROM also has the advantage of signed builds by Google so they come with official SafetyNet Certification. No need of Magisk and Magisk module workarounds so things like fingerprint unlock with your banking app should work without issue unlike any other ROM I've tried with RBC app... That also means if the Le Max 2 had built in NFC that android pay would have worked without a hitch...
I believe the only other custom ROM with signed builds by Google for official SafetyNet Certification is Paranoid Android but sadly there isn't official builds for the Le Max 2 (yet). Maybe once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 we will see that and built upon is custom kernel as well!
I tried porting it but I suck at it and failed haha oh well at least it turns out I'm good at vehicle repairs
If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend. Good device tree and vendor stacks and built with Blackscreen kernel for a good balance between performance and battery life.
Also, Resurrection Remix for Nougat has reached final versions so it won't be receiving updates. As far as I know for Nougat ROMs I think Slimroms and BlackX are the only ones receiving updates still as andr68rus and I believe the same with Shivatejapeddi have both changed focus to Oreo.

whoa, thanks alot for the detailed explanation.....
you really spoke highly of OmniROM (which i like) and you also said this: If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend
so which will you advise me to go for out of the three? plus which is pre-rooted or can be easily rooted?
i want to have a feel of a rooted device and see how it goes
would like to go for OmniROM (plus pls help me with links on how to get it) but let me have you final conclusion.
thanks alot for the helpful replies.

You're welcome
It's up to you which path you wish to go. As mentioned OmniROM is definitely the most stable ROM as it tends to not receive major changes as quickly as other ROMs.
The official signed builds are found here:
http://dl.omnirom.org/x2/
Any ROM is super easy to root. Only requires flashing Magisk via TWRP. I'd easily recommend it over any other form of root since it's fully open source software (FOSS) and the modules capabilities is amazing with stuff like Universal SafetyNet fix or other mods like enabling 60fps recording on the Google Camera Mod. I also really enjoy the ART Optimization mod for a little extra performance.
Magisk is found here on XDA and I'd recommend v14.3 right now because v14.0 stable has actually given me more grief heh
You can download and read up on Magisk right here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74158225&postcount=31
BlackX ROM is actually maintained by that other dude who posted here, KuranKaname and definitely has the most optimizations of the buch that I recommended. His builds are based on LineageOS with Blackscreen 3.6 kernel which is really nice. His ROM does require special Gapps which can be found in his thread with the ROM downloads as well.

Slimroms was the third I mentioned which is kind of is a balance between the stability of OmniROM but some of the optimization of BlackX.

Since there isn't any limit on ROMs to flash you can always try out a ROM for a few days and if it doesn't quite suit your needs you can try swapping to a different ROM to see how it feels. In the end only you will know which of the three I mentioned is to your liking the most.

It's up to you which path you wish to go. As mentioned OmniROM is definitely the most stable ROM as it tends to not receive major changes as quickly as other ROMs.
The official signed builds are found here:

Any ROM is super easy to root. Only requires flashing Magisk via TWRP. I'd easily recommend it over any other form of root since it's fully open source software (FOSS) and the modules capabilities is amazing with stuff like Universal SafetyNet fix or other mods like enabling 60fps recording on the Google Camera Mod. I also really enjoy the ART Optimization mod for a little extra performance.
Magisk is found here on XDA and I'd recommend v14.3 right now because v14.0 stable has actually given me more grief heh
You can download and read up on Magisk right here

BlackX ROM is actually maintained by that other dude who posted here, KuranKaname and definitely has the most optimizations of the buch that I recommended. His builds are based on LineageOS with Blackscreen 3.6 kernel which is really nice. His ROM does require special Gapps which can be found in his thread with the ROM downloads as well.
