Root [MetroPCS] [ROM] KitKat 4.4.2 NEW BETA 4

thanx for the link!

i'm sorry for all my dots when i type...i type like i think..only in a more understandable form...sorta....


i found a universal version of Acid Audio...and it werx nice..getting a txt or a call is easier to catch before it's hours later because i have Tinnitus....SO..in the nature of all my other qwerx i can hear high tones real easy..

so using a real loud high pitched scream sample is more audible ...if it's loud enough ...

Acid Audio made things crazy loud...

thanx again ...the support in these forums is amazing
 
Well seems I have bricked my phone. I installed this ROM. and attempted to do the cwm sd hack. and now I get the blue screen of death. I have tried to use the kdz but it will not even start to install it. I have also tried the vol. down, power but it still gives me the blue screen.
 
Hmm this has happens to me a lot of times if I were you I would try holding the power button and home button and when the lg screen appears for the second time let go of the power button and start clicking the home button until the recovery you flashed appears

You have to download & install the 'jb wifi tether' app from the play store, it adjusts some iptables entries, which is needed to routing the packets correctly.

Nope. Still doesn't work. I notice when I use the app, in the notification boxes that come up, it says stuff like " iptables, invalid - j DROP" and things of the nature. :'(
 
I can't figure out the issue with getting lte to work i did everything kidryanpz said. I think it might be something with the build prop because I don't see the lte option coming up. Anyone else having this issue?

Ok, I just noticed the same issue on another LG F3 from stock ROM. I deleted these apps from /system/app, one of them prevented tether IP routing, they're unused bloatware anyway, safe to delete, but better to move to /sdcard/tmp or something. Must be rooted, & mount /system in 'rw' mode.

/system/app/ECID-release.*
/system/app/gba-service.*
/system/app/ims-service.*
/system/app/IPService.*
/system/app/MLT.*
/system/app/MyMetro.*
/system/app/Upsell.*
/system/app/WAPPushManager.*
/system/app/WapService.*
/system/app/WfdP2pService.*

I tried it and it didn't work. Most of the things listed I couldn't find. And some were in sperate folders. :(

Are you using beta 4 or 5?
I use beta 4 and my lte works without having to do any tinkering. If youre on beta 5 then you have to follow the instructions in the OP to get lte working. Go into the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* and set the preferred network type to lte/wcdma(i had to to this every time i booted the phone up.) Fyi, the statusbar icon for lte just says "4G". When you are on "regular 4g"(hsdpa+) the statusbar icon will say "H".

hroark13, thanks for the great work! I'm currently running Beta 4 since I liked the stripped down version more. The LTE fix (changing OPEN to TMO) worked for me.

Some bugs that I'm currently experiencing:

  1. lock screen wallpaper resets every reboot
  2. "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." error message when I try to go into the "Home screen" settings
  3. the settings menu switches between the one with toggles at the top (networks/sound/display/general) and the long style where everything is on one page
  4. "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped." error when I click on the edit image icon
  5. knock-on/off is intermittent

Thanks again for the hard work.

The lock screen wallpaper resets every time you reboot the phone because the stock lg launcher is not included in this version. If you reinstall the stock lg launcher for this rom along with the lg home theme, the lockscreen wallpaper wont reset to default every time you restart the phone.
Reinstalling the LG Home Launcher will also fix the problem with the home screen settings force closing. The home screen settings option is just for the stock LG Home Launcher.
For setting custom icons the stock gallery app works perfectly so adding it back into the rom will fix this problem.
Try opening the settings then pressing the menu key and select switch to list view. This might fix the issue with having two different layouts for the settings.
The knock on feature works like its supposed to. It may seem intermittent because it uses the touch sensor to sense when you tap the screen to turn it off, but when the screen is off the touch sensor is off. Since the touch sensor isnt working when the screen isn't on it actually uses the phone's accelerometer to tell when you tap it, by sensing vibration rather than touch when the screen isnt on. If you want to see what im talking about, turn the screen off then firmly tap twice anywhere on the phone(front, back, sides, it doesnt matter where) and the screen will turn on. You can even get the phone to turn on by shaking it if you do it hard enough. Also, if the phone is sitting on a hard surface you have to tap it even harder for it to be able to sense the vibration. The knock on feature works better when you are holding the phone in your hand.
I hope that you find this information helpful.

Has anyone found a working solution for using the hotspot? Bluetooth and usb tethering work fine but wifi tethering is a no go.

I have tethering working on MetroPCS. Here are the steps:

*This may also work on Stock rooted 12b*

1.) Install busybox, jota text editor, terminal emulator, script manager, and smwidgets.

2.) Edit /system/build.prop

Set ro.build.target_operator=TMO so you will have the LTE option in settings.

3.) Open terminal emulator.

su -

mount -o remount,rw /system /system

mount -o remount,rw / /

4.) Edit /etc/apns-conf.xml in jota text editor.

replace every instance of the word "pcweb" with "fast".

example: pcweb.metropcs.com should be fast.metropcs.com

5.) Open terminal emulator.

su -

chmod +i /etc/apns-conf.xml

*This prevents your carrier from editing this file remotely.

6.) Create a script /sdcard/tether_enable.sh

#!/system/bin/sh
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit

7.) Add a smwidget widget to your home screen and point it to the script /sdcard/tether_enable.sh
Click to expand...

8.) Run the script using the widget before enabling tethering. Good luck. Hope it works for everyone. :)

PS: Don't forget to enable LTE in settings after rebooting.

Um do you have an easier way to put it or something? I'm kind of new to all this scripting and such. :/
