AWESOME_SAUCE!!!
So after hours of combing through source files, I was finally able to get sound working:) Based on Quarx2k MSM8226 kernel.

As of now I need to edit some more, to fix camera.
Not sure if Data is working or not Im sure ya'll let me know.

I take no responsibility for anything you do to your device
As always, be sure to make a backup before flashing
This Rom is nearly Beta stage.

Thanks to everyone here and at our IRC channel ##LG_VOLT

I think you have to download it from a PC cause it doesn't show the download button on mobile. At least not for me on chrome

Just request the desktop site from your browser on your phone, the download arrow will now be at the top of the page.
 
Way to go man, this is a breakthrough. I assume all you other custom ROMs will now have sound too? No sound was the main reason I wasn't using any ROMs as a daily driver.

Yeah once the bugs are fixed, will convert the other ROMs to caf.
 
I use cwm androidforums.com/threads/cwm-recovery-touch.885605/
Or you should make sure zip verification is disabled in twrp or try redownload
 
Also I tested, boots well and sound works well but since all of the hardware buttons work fine could you next build remove the software back home and menu buttons, also a gapps zip would be nice but having put so much time into it I get it could take a while so whenever you get to it.
 
# MTP
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

i think if you add that to system.prop in /device/lge/x5 it will make mtp work. also to get torch working once i got camera working i set <bool name="useCameraInterface">true</bool> in overlay/packages/apps/Torch/res/values/config.xml because i couldnt get it to work using the native flash something or other in sys. as far as camera goes, thats a good question, but try using stock libbinder.so for data because my ril was missing it, seems like adding it is a step in the right direction.

good luck and awesome job!

edit: also take a look at this to fix art if you have not already seen it: https://github.com/Quarx2k/proprietary_vendor_lge/commit/d4790f4128770ee1de19bf3640c66a4a8fc5fe7e
 
I ran this for an hour or so and my battery got down to about 10, went to plug it in and it would not recognize a charger was attached and did not charge. Rebooted to twrp and it was charging while there. I have since restored my stock backup until i can charge it fully.

Also videos would not play for me, but that probably has something to do with camera i guess.

Thanks for the awesome stuff

I am getting a zip signature verification error when I try to flash from TWRP
Click to expand...

unpack that zip, and add updater-script to meta-inf/com/google/android in bad mofo's zip and it will flash on twrp. all i did was remove the device check at the top.

also, damn its nice to hear music on a custom rom. truly excellent sir and i look forward to combing through your github!

I am interested in trying to port paranoid android to this device but as I have no experience at all with building android I was wondering where some good literature might be found as to building, I an very familiar with linux but I just never got arround to building android.

Xda and androidforums are your best friends in that. I cant speak for bad mofo but I can say that I learned the most by google searching the crap out of whatever problem I had, which led either here or xda most times. Study the heck out of quarx2k's github, Bad_MOFO_33's github, and my github and google search everything you find until you have an understanding of what does what in /device/lge/x5, the changes shouldnt be that much from what we have now to getting paranoid running. and most of all, good luck and ask questions here, just use a dedicated dev thread to do so.
 
@Bad_MOFO_33 I've been using this since this morning, I flashed with twrp after taking a backup and it's been working great so far. I don't use my camera very often and torch I can live without, I just wanted to let you and others know though that if you can't charge your phone just turn it off and plug it into a wall outlet and it will charge up. Thanks so much for the hard work, my weekend is now made!! =D

edit:my phone isn't charging. I'm not really sure what to do, once it dies I'm really stuck lol, I booted into TWRP to see if that would help. I can't remember where I saw it but I thought someone here in the forums said awhile back to let the battery drain all the way and then plug it in to charge. Please help me @Bad_MOFO_33 , your my only hope :) I have a backup so I guess if draining the battery doesn't work I'll just flash back to stock but I'm really digging this rom

Cwm, would twrp make a difference in it?

its something with the way all of the recoveries are compiled and the roms are compiled. since we have multiple devs working on things right now, we all have different things set in our device files for now, but once things get more stable we will be able to collaborate and make a standard for device naming.
