IMA see if phen will make a camera fix flash zip

That's awesome. I'd prefer not to test it on my personal F3 because I've done a lot to optimize the software running very well on my phone, but if the camera fix zip is confirmed to be working, I'll flash CM 11 and hopefully enjoy the upgrade to 4.4.4. Thanks for your time. :-)
 
Na, I've tried that. I think its missing a few things from the kernel. Things I can't enable without it throwing errors
 
xclusive36 just a question, but you mentioned that the External SD works on this rom. For some reason I can't mount the SD Card when I use the rom. Or if already is mounted, I can't find it anywhere using File Explorers like ES File Explorer. I ran into a similar problem when trying out PhenomX's KK Rom for the LG Optimus F3 - Wasn't able to find the SD Card at all using the file explorer and when I tried to mount it/enable MTP on my LG, it wouldn't work.
 
Also another random question. Is 4G working on the CDMA LG Optimus F3's? For some reason I never get any signal at all when I have LTE on - there is only signal when I have set the settings to 3G as the preferred network. Just wanted to clarify because I think you listed 4G as working on your last update to this rom.

The external sdcard is mounted. It's located at /storage/sdcard1 The same location in Phenomx4's ls-kk rom. If you plug your phone into your computer, mtp should automaticly work.

If you're unable to load the external card on your phone, the problem is on your phone.

For some reason it's not displaying a signal in the rom. To get a signal, go to System>Mobile network>CDMA Subscription and switch to RUIM/SIM. But doing so will make it unstable.

I'll reformat my SD Card and try it out. I originally had it partitioned into two sectors w/ one ext2 and one FAT32 because I was using it for Link2SD on the stock rom so maybe the two partitions was creating a problem.
 
@xclusive36 Update: I was able to get the SD Card to be detected!!!! :) It was a problem with the two partitions I had on the SD Card from my Link2SD setup with the stock rom I was using previously. Also 4G seems to work actually now that I followed your instructions and swapped to the RUIM/SIM. I was able to get 4G coverage in my area as I should. Will continue using the rom to see for myself how unstable the 4G is!
 
I am having an issue I was hoping someone could help me with. I followed all the instructions here, I rooted, then installed TWRP, then went into TWRP and went into the wipe tab and swiped the slider, then went to the install tab and flash the cm11 zip then the gapps zip. After all this was done I rebooted my phone, to discover that it wouldn't boot past the first lg screen. I am still able to get into twrp, but I can't use my phone. I tried doing the unbrick method with the lgflash tool but I couldn't find the dll for it because the site said 404 error.

If you could help me with this and tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks!

@jadedkittycat I used this URL - http://mcdojf.wix.com/optimus-f3#!unbrick/chta

I unbricked my LG Optimus F3 once when I accidentally allowed the OTA update after I was testing out some stuff with one of the deodexed stock V7 roms that was already prerooted. This webpage's instructions are pretty clear and thorough and I successfully restored my LG Optimus F3 to working condition using them. I wish you the best of luck!

P.S. All of the download links on this URL work too for the files you need to use the LG Unbrick Tool :)

This thread assumes that you install twrp using the provided install.bat file which includes a specific file that is required to run this rom. Not using flashify or something else.

This question is being asked over and over.. go back and read through the last few pages to get the answer. (*hint, zv5 aboot)

Hate to see you go... Thank you for all your time and efforts making this phone enjoyable for the community ! It was a pleasure testing for you way back in the beginning of cm10...[emoji3]

I know a developer for OctOs that agreed to help me try and get the camera working for this rom but it will be on his free time so hopefully with his help u will be snapping pics soon.

Any word from him? (I'm the developer of the T-Mobile version of this rom)
 
The fix for the vibration and vsync time out honestly, is to disable vibration, i never found a fully working fix for the F6 when building, it has to do with timed output, i hasd tried this.. https://github.com/Varcain/android_kernel_lge_d605/commit/0aa7d56e87c119b8e3d25d52f06edc5ceedf50cf

vibe was still broken on the f6, only way to make it work was by having vibrator_implementation set in boardconfig, and then the black screens return.

if it will help you at all, ive been the primary dev for the f6 along with hroark13, you can use my github for references.

I've been keeping tabs on you guys for awhile. I had disabled vibration a few months ago for i'm sure the same reasons why you did. You say 'black screens return' I'm guessing it was wakelock, and sleep of death you were experiencing. I noticed them too as well as instability issues with it enabled.

I appreciate your input. I did uses your carbon git tree for reference with 4g/lte. It helped make this phone a little more stable.

As a matter of fact, allot of the f6 device tree's footprint went into the f3 tree's including vibration.
