I was wondering if installing a custom rom even worth it? Also I wanted to know if their was a bug free CyanogenMod software to download and install on the V10?
Eliminator74's Marshmallow ROM is OK. Andy Zhang released another MM ROM which has a few performance tweaks and has more bloat removed (and has slightly better battery life, if you ask me). I personally am running a 100% stock ROM, flashed with LGUP, and rooted with Magisk and systemless phh Superuser (Magisk version), installed from TWRP.
If you're still on Lollipop then Evil Yummy Gumdrop is probably your best bet, it also has a custom kernel (the newer MM ROMs use the stock kernel).
As far as AOSP/CM, everything works for the most part, except the camera and 2nd screen functionality. If that bothers you, use a stock-based ROM, if not then go for it. For Lollipop your option is CM12, for Marshmallow your options are CM13, BlissPop, and Resurrection Remix (rated in that order by me on a scale of best to worst, although all are good).
My advice, if you need everything to "just work", go for stock, if you don't mind a few things not working or more bugs, go for AOSP/CM. It's also important to note that none of the AOSP/CM ROMs for our device are currently being maintained. The guy that was in charge of maintaining them dropped off not too long ago.

Just search for Magisk in Google. There is an XDA thread there. It has all the info you need. Root, Xposed,some other mods, there are Magisk versions of all these. There's alot to read, follow instructions to the letter.

Just curious, when is Magisk worth it. I've always been one to root and rom my device but i'm enjoying stock rooted right now and don't feel like i'm missing much. Thanks in advance!
Edit: NVM - http://www.howtogeek.com/249162/what-is-systemless-root-on-android-and-why-is-it-better/
Root and Xposed via Magisk is def worth it because it allows you to have these things without modding the system partition (which also means you can take OTAs as well). SuperSU is also available via Magisk, as well as other things like Viper4Android, BusyBox, etc. I've had no issues, just follow instructions and you'll be fine. You can even create your own Magisk modules for other mods that aren't yet available.

Hi all
I have one application which tells me it has to run in an unroot ROM in order to work. I'd like to be able to dual boot between RR and an unrooted stock ROM; my guess is that this will not be possible (each time I've tried the stock has ended up being rooted), but I'd just like the experts to confirm this?
Its not a major issue if I can't do this, its just nagging me that despite looking through the forums (and the rest of the 'net) for some days I can't figure out the "can the stock ROM be unroot" bit....
Many thanks
Ian

I know HOW to do this thing!!!!
- First of all install the stock ROM on the phone as primary rom.
- Root with relative CF-ROOT the stock ROM.
- Flash Dorimanx kernel latest version via CWM.
- Clone primary on secondary.
- WIPE and format the primary ROM without format Internal memory entirely.
- Install RR as primary ROM
- Flash Dorimanx kernel latest version via CWM.
- Boot the phone in secondary ROM (Stock ROM).
- As soon as you get in stock ROM open exTweaks.
- Go in MISC tab on the bottom.
- There you'll find the REMOVE ROOT button.
- Press IT.
- Reboot and then you've done what you wanted
- Enjoy
Unfortunately that doesn't work, the app I want to run somehow knows the system has been rooted before. Thanks for the help as I'm sure that works for other apps. The app I'm trying to use is called DME.

I think the dual boot method doesn't work because both roms still share the same kernel. If that kernel is rooted in the primary rom then the second rom is also rooted. Seems like the DME app developers purposely removed root functionality to enhance the security of their app. Read somewhere that your DME server admin can allow it to work with rooted phones, whatever that means. If not, then it seems like you may need to use another app on your rooted phone, or just unroot the phone and use DME. Unless maybe someone has another suggestion?

Many thanks for this - until that simple explanation I never understood that the ROMs would share the same kernel!
I'm guessing this problem only has one answer; to go back to a single stock ROM.

Just asked permission to put apk downloads in my thread for ease of access. Also asked if it would be possible to use an automatic modem switcher depending on if you are on stock KK or LP ROM which needs jb modem.
Wow this is fantastic! Really great news! I'm stoked. I can't help with testing but this has to be the best thing I have read all day.
I have a D802 and everything (except for 4.2 roms) uns on the KitKat modem, so I think it would be easier for D802 users due to no modem change.

Yeah exactly. Dual booting lollipop and a stable stock rom with great camera and stability would be the ideal scenario. I just don't quite have the time to test it out (well it's mostly if something goes sour) but I'll be waiting for feedback from other people before jumping into it. But once again it's great you found and tried this.
No problems at all with the slim ROM that he provided through the automatic apk patcher. Or the gapps. All installed correctly to the correct spots /system/dual/ and /data/dual/ going to be testing lollipop though. I tried doing it myself lol. See how it goes.
Is this dual boot only avaliable for D800? I don't see the option for a D802

Can you be a little more clear to your question please?
Why can't I use other ROM?
Nice this dualbooting although we can replace it with multirom if LG finally unlocks the bootloader or if somebody hacks the bootloader. This reminds me of the lg optimus 2x dualboot method also using a dualboot app switcher.
It's a nice alpha thing but I wont be using it cause 16gb and a full system/internal storage isnt so nice with dualbooting but maybe I will look into the script/app later to add more support or update it a bit :]

Because any other ROM that isn't SLIMRom isn't directly supported in the apk version of the patcher. It would have to be patched manually. Refer to original Dev thread at top of Op
Thank you for the information
Great news! Just patched a 5.0 ROM using the latest snapshot of the apk. Flashing and will report back
This is the error I get when patching 5.0 files
Mhhh???
Excuse me if there is a thread already for this, but do we have any stock rooted ROMs for the Lollipop builds? Stock LG rom that is.
I know there is the restore tools, I am just looking for a basic stock rooted for my device.
In Development (non-original). JasmineROM 9.1 and SkyDragon 6.0x.
Sorry I was looking more of stock unmodified other then root.

If you don't flash the optional debloat zip for JasmineROM, then other than root, there's very, very little that's modified about it, and nothing noticeable at all. The biggest modification is to make it work with Xposed if you decide to flash the latest Xposed for 5.1.1.
The second biggest modifcation(s) can't be reasonably helped. Both JasmineROM and SkyDragon have the bootloader from 12B and the modem from 24B. The reason it has the old bootloader is because that's the only way currently to still get into TWRP, and it has the 24B modem because the 35B modem doesn't work with the 12B bootloader.
One or two people have had success getting Advanced Calling working in this configuration, but most have not - so you'll likely have to uncheck the option in the ROM and disable it as it comes enabled by default.
I have figured out nearly everything to get my phone setup. What is eluding me at the moment is how to get from where I am to where the latest custom roms are. Below has been my process:
Started on 24B stock
TOT method to 10B
Stump Root
SuperSU
TWRP
10B to 12B using TWRP (retaining root)
At this point I would like to get to a custom ROM, for example SkyDragon, Resurrection, Turbo, etc. Is it as simple as downloading the rom and GAPPS, then flashing with TWRP, or do I need to move forward from 12B before I try and get to the next step? Aside, should XDABBEB's VS985 be part of my process? I'm getting a bit lost in the muck between 12B and 47A; where I should be and how to get there.
Overall, I'd like the simplest route to not having issues with advanced calling and wireless charging. It that mean not touching marshmallow quite yet, cool with me. I look forward to hearing back, and thanks to everyone who put in the hard work to package these projects together, as well as those who detail their steps and results along the way.

Just as long as you keep in mind that stock LG-based ROMs like SkyDragon, JasmineROM and @xdabbeb 's already have GApps, so you would only need GApps for CyanogenMod or CM-based ROMs like Resurrection. Personally, I stick with stock LG-based ROMs because they just work.
You also need to be on the correct Bootstack. 12B for KitKat, 24B for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow. Get used to flashing the bootstack AFTER flashing the ROM because if you ever flash JasmineROM or SkyDragon and you flash the bootstack before instead of after, the ROM will overwrite part of the bootstack and depending on some other variables you can brick your phone. Recoverable, but bricked.
or do I need to move forward from 12B before I try and get to the next step?

Nope.

Only if you want to be on his ROM. Personally, his VS985 v2.0 ROM is my overall favorite although I'm currently using his stock 47A firmware completely debloated.

Advanced/HD Calling works fine for me on 47A. I thought I tested it fine on @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 too, but it's been such a long time ago I can't say for sure. Advanced Calling isn't available on CM-based ROMs like Resurrection, only stock LG-based ROMs. Wireless charging might be the same, but I don't know for sure and never used it.
Help please read my question..

I replied to one of the two new threads you created.
Hey all,
I picked up an H932 and the rooting process seemed easy enough. I have TWRP installed and I got through the whole tutorial without a hitch.
However, I've read elsewhere of people upgrading to different versions of stock before installing a custom rom? I guess I'd still be on 10d, and I'm thinking to install Havoc OS unofficial as it runs great on my H930.
Edit: Nevermind I guess. I installed 20s fullstock and that worked fine, rebooted into recovery and installed Havoc. Don't really have a way to test it though.

The problem was fingerprint sensor didn't work right on custom ROMs if you stayed on Nougat after root. You had to upgrade back to Oreo before installing custom ROMs.

Yeah I did some more reading then found the 20s thread. I installed 20s and went straight to Havoc.
I need to do some testing though.
