Root Just throwing this out there: Cm13 for g2 mini sources

Sorry guys, I uploaded it here in resources thinking everything was cool. It says it's waiting to be verified, guess I won't use Android forums to host my files from now on since I have to jump through hurdles just to get files to you guys.

I'm away from my computer so I can't upload to androidfilehost at the moment but I'll get it up tomorrow. Check back at that resources link, hopefully they get it approved quicker than not.

Damn that was quick! Beat me to figuring it out. Does this new build also include OTG support?

there we go guys, teamviewer to the rescue.



not yet but i can add it in from what you posted in your thread to see if it works.

Please if you can, I'd appreciate it.

Any reasons why I shouldn't install SuperSU at this point? I saw some posts mentioning issues. Also is unified storage working?

Going to install it now, I'll post dmesg and logcat logs of any issues as I see them if I can.

Su is built into the rom, go to developer options and tell it whichever configuration you choose, i choose "apps and adb" for testing purposes but if you dont use adb just turn it on for apps.

Unified storage from what i could see was willing to work, i just dont have a spare sd card handy to test it out at the moment. let us know if you decide to test it and what happens
 
just to show you guys what goes into the little things in this rom, i had to sit and figure out the exact pieces needed to get the baseband from a random modem file. the following is now the contents of init.qcom.ril.sh in our local x5 repo:

#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH

setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings -n 25 /firmware/image/modem.b21 | grep -E -o 'MPSS.DI.*\w' | head -1| cut -d "_" -f-1`

i had to run strings on modem.b21, and then figure out the regex (or whatever you wanna call it in this case) to display our baseband. about an hour spent messing with things until i got it right. all to output this: "MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1-00003-M8926DAAAANAZM-1" or whichever matching string for the modem version you are on. i should have just cheated and assumed you were all on zv6 prior to flashing cm13, lol i could have just hardcoded it and called it a day.

im rebuilding now, hopefully it works. i have to also reflash my volt since this is the 2nd time im getting hit with the rebooting twrp 3 problem. gonna have to look into that one too.

Much appreciated my friend. I can test on my extra volt anytime you need me too, I'm no dev but I'd love to help. Thanks a lot for all the work you and all the other devs do! Much love! [emoji1]
 
i fixed baseband display, and am still working on nfc. g3 has the same setup as we do in terms of nfc (pn544) but their kernel has something ours doesnt. still looking into it, and i will push my changes to github.
 
video camera recording fixed, may also help the choppyness of videos, only testing will tell. all commits were to android_device_lge_x5 branch master and vendor_lge_x5 branch cm-13.0

so that leaves button backlights, nfc, possibly cleanup and make ril more functional and video choppyness. we are getting closer guys.

Daily driver in a couple of days maybe?
 
hopefully, actually it could probably be now for some depending on how you use it. im on a mission to get this done so im throwing everything i have at getting things working.
NFC and the video choppyness will make it my daily. I'm probably going to move into it in a little after I research some stuff about CM 13. Thanks man! Loving the hard work you're putting in. :))))))
 
Downloaded and will flash once I get to school. Hopefully dirty flashing over cm11 will work since titanium backup seems to be iffy with CMs built in root

Just got the boot loop again so I know it wasn't a issue of whatever bad kernel I flashed like I thought it was before. Interestingly I found you can still use adb during the boot loop of TWRP v3.0.0 so I used that to downgrade to TWRP v2.8.7.0 which seems alright for now.

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere but if anyone bootloops on TWRP v3.0.0 the below instructions should downgrade TWRP without erasing the OS or /data. This worked for me, however use extreme caution when entering these commands below, I'm not responsible for bricked devices.

Code:
# First download a copy of TWRP v2.8.7.0 from bad_mofo https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347771339
# Connect your boot looping LG VOLT and adb push the resulting downloaded img file to somewhere in the LG Volt like so. /sdcard/Download should be a safe place.

adb push twrp_2.8.7.0_volt.img /sdcard/Download

# Then open a shell and dd copy the img to the correct recovery partition.

adb shell

# Verify the correct recovery partition by listing all possible partitions.

ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

# Should be recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
# Then dd clone the TWRP img in place

dd if=/sdcard/Download/twrp_2.8.7.0_volt-LOLLIPOP.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p
17

# Wait for completion and then type the command.

reboot

# It should reboot into the older TWRP v2.8.7.0  from here you can ask it to continue booting to the system or flash something else if you want.

Unified storage appears to work here! Yes, no more awkward multi-partition stuff like with Link2SD. It however incorrectly identified my Micro SD as a "Lexar" when it's a "PNY" branded card but that doesn't appear to affect anything. Look at all that nice storage, thank you for the rom @whoshotjr2006

Guys I'm having a problem, I may sound as a noob but I need your help. So my data fell off so I went into installing the univ. APN fix but once I clicked install in recovery it froze. BTW my phone had the SD as internal storage. Moreover, it didn't flash so I installed flashify, it flashed but no good, no lte. Now I flashed twrp 3.0 and now I can't find the files I downloaded so I can flash it. I hope you all know what I can do as the phone I did it on is my daily. I'm currently in a college class rn. Hope to hear a fix soon please. Thank you.
