Root [ROM][MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Katana ROM *Updated 11-16-2015*

No biggie, i have chronos running now. I just find the the real estate on the stylo screen is so weird nive a spacious something other then lg wouldn't look right at all. Maybe i can find the ge note 5 or 4 weather widget on xda.
 
@GameTheory and all others
i'm creating a Custom Bootanimation for Katana which is almost ready, have full animation from Initial Animation, Loop Animation to End Animation... here is a little Sneak Peak i'll upload for those who want to use it.

PS. still WIP so expect some changes...

Thank you,

question, your rom have the Bootanimation Binary Fix?

Nah didn't need the binary fix for my bootanimation, but I'll add it in the next update so that folks can flash all types of bootanimations without leak.

If you want to post your bootanimation before then, just include the binary inside your bootanimation zip.

i try that once and didn't work for some reason,
do i need to set permissions?

P.S. Animation is ready i'll upload flashable zip either later tonight or tomorrow

Assuming you're using the aosp 32bit binary, flash it to "/system/bin/bootanimation" and include the following in your updater-script after package_extract_dir("system", "/system");...
Code: 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chown", "root.root", "/system/bin/bootanimation");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "755", "/system/bin/bootanimation");

Before you do the above rename the original to "/system/bin/bootanimation.bak" just in case.
If this doesn't work for you then it won't work for me either and will be no point in including it in the next rom update.

Boot animation is fire!! My rom booted uo in 53 seconds though is that normal?
Click to expand...

that's depends on initial process your system/device (Xposed Modules and things like that) mine doesn't take that long and i use just 4 exposed modules + 3 more apps and any default inital process from system.....this bootanimation binary fix notice that let you since the first day i started using it that let all those process start before booting to home/lock screen...that why you don't feel any lag when you hit home screen after booting your device.
 
Hey GameTheory i have been using your roms since the optimus f6 and they have all been AMAZING. I just wanna know i just got this phone not a bad phone in my opinion are there any problems or differences from stock that i should be aware of ?

Thanks :)

I remember you from the f6 forum. Congrats on your new stylo, it's definitely a capable device well worth the price.

No problems on my end. Your best bet would be to make a backup and then flash the rom and see if you like it. If you don't like it you can always restore your backup and no harm done.
 
Nice boot animation @DrakenFX
And GT thanks for this ROM so far everything's been great and I never knew the what a stock based unblocked ROM felt like. Also I did some tweaking with the three battery saving apps (Greenify donation/Xposed, Amplify donation, & PowerNap) Holy smokes I got 7h30 mins of screen on time! Not only is this a battery monster but it's smooth and very responsive :)Screenshot_2015-11-26-14-15-26.png Screenshot_2015-11-26-14-15-23.png
 
Hey guys just curious as to a good config for kernel for gaming speed...also GT you plan on making a separate thread for your kernel is O/C possible ?
 
The rom is indeed great. If you want the stock launcher or any of the stock lg bloatware you can find it on his site, down where the downloads for his rom are he has links to optional zips you can flash.
 
Huge fan of your work, I'm loving this rom, but I had one weird question, is it possible to completely remove all traces of gapps (problably via a script through recovery?) so I can install my favorite gapps package (Open GApps)?
