Root [T-Mobile] [ROM][F6] Xperion ROM **Updated 2/11/15**

[GameTheory]

I noticed that my phone barly charges 20% evevery hour.

I looked through your post history and it seems you have issues with everything you install. I advise you keep your phone stock till you really know what you're doing.

ROM Updated

Changes:

• Added AOSP lockscreen and disabled stock lockscreen
• Added Android L keyboard (Go to keyboard settings/Advanced/Color scheme/Material)
• Added Cyanogen weather widget (Chronus - use the flex widget)
• Changed blue accents in Camera & the icon to google camera icon
• Added google icon in settings menu for accounts & sync like aosp

Follow the same install instructions that are already listed.

NOTE:
AOSP lockscreen is way better than stock so I disabled stock lockscreen completely and it will never work again in this rom. If you do not like AOSP lockscreen, do not update.

Apollo and Netflix lockscreen controls are pretty awesome, netflix especially when using chromecast.

Have you ever thought about making the notification bar like this? http://myandroidchief.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/1e5cgalaxy-note-2-vs-nexus-4-113.jpg .... I'm really craving that notification/status bar, don't get me wrong, I prefer your notification bar over the stock one any time, but I would like the simple notification bar if possible. I'm just requesting this, I'm not commanding you, but it would be nice to have something like this considering your rom is very efficient and has a freedom kernel that not any other LG F6 roms has this yet (from what I've searched).

I dont think u can but that would look nice

Very nice update GT. Thanks mate. Really appreciate your work once again.

First off, GT, I have got to thank you for making this ROM, it's excellent in every way. Just one thing, though... How, if at all, would I go about changing the power control widget at the top of the notification shade? I'm really hoping to get one that looks close to stock Android, but I've only been able to find widgets that sit directly underneath the one I'm trying to replace.

Edit: meant to post this with the MetroPCS thread

Only way is to learn to modify apk's and edit smali code. Google has lots of info for all that.

I have a previous build installed with CWM. I see up above you recommend TWRP now (recently added to our phone). Are there issues with CWM in flashing the new build? I'm fine switching recoveries, but was just curious. Also, when coming from a previous version, can we just "dirty flash" or do we need to do a full wipe? What about partial wipes (cache/etc)? It took me several weeks to get my phone all set up with apps, Link2SD, etc. That will factor into my decision to upgrade.

I have only flashed the rom with TWRP so I couldn't tell you on CWM. TWRP is much better than CWM though.

Yes, full wipe is required.

Hey GT rom i have to say its the best one out their. If you are able too can you make the rom look more stock android

 

[gamesindians]

If my understanding is correct, generally one would want to unlock it to make changes to the kernel. I also know that the Metro and T-Mobile versions are essentially compatible. I have the T-Mobile D500, and haven't yet found a viable method of unlocking the bootloader. Do I need to unlock? Is there a viable way to do it?

We have bypassed the locked bootloader with "loki" (google loki). You can just flash any of the roms and kernels made for this phone without issue as long as you're rooted with recovery installed.

Excellent! But I use the CWM Touch 2nd init recovery which is temporary. Is there a permanent option for this phone? I only worry because I recently softbricked my phone, and had to factory upgrade/restore to get it to stock, and then root and reinstall CWM.

The TWRP recovery link is listed in the first post.

I recently noticed that whenever I turn off Bluetooth, it will turn it off but the phone still thinks its on and gets stuck saying "turning Bluetooth off" in the settings. This isn't a big deal since a restart fixes the problem but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if there is a way to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried turning off BT then exiting the settings menu and waiting a couple minutes before you check the settings menu again?

 

[ksjd0414]

How can I edit lock screen for full screen album art instead of half ? ... And I have not had one lock up , lag , or bug period with his latest

 

[redsfan27]

Yes, last night i turned it off at 10:30 or so and it still says turning off at 6:50 this morning. This afternoon i was going to try and flash the new rom with the 9/2 update so maybe that'll fix it.

 

[gamesindians]

Finally Loaded the rom up fresh, but then apps just started crashing, before and during operation of apps, then flashed the kernel to see if it helped. No dice. The F6 is my daily so I had to restore back. Seemed like a smooth mod on top of stock outside of the crashes.

ROM Updated

CHANGES:

• Removed Android L keyboard just in case it causes the rom to lag (replaced with LG keyboard).
• Added "Build number" date to system info - see screenshot below
• Speed tweak to Frandom

NOTE:
I also included a link to the previous rom version dated 8/19/2014 for those that like that version more than the latest.

Well I was able to install the latest update this afternoon (love the lock screen btw) and it seems like it fixed the problem. Thanks for the updates!

When just updating the rom do i still have to wipe and last time i didnt and it still deleted everything

The last time I had it wipe everything automatically because of the noobs that don't wipe even if the instructions say to wipe.

On the latest version you don't have to wipe, but if you're coming from a version of the rom prior to the 8/19/2014 version or from another rom then you do need to wipe.

Also note, if you decide "not to wipe" and end up with bugs then you'll have to go back and wipe and reinstall.

Hey GT thanks for the rom. I have the t-mobile f6 version.

After wiping and then installing the rom all of the apps works except the gravity box which pops up with the error "the framework is not responding then closes."

The phone also takes a long time to charge. i've had it plug in into an outlet for almost 2 hrs and it only gone 13 to 50%. Also when having data on, even when in standby with zero apps using internet, the phone seems to drain way faster than the stock rom. But other than that it does hold charge well only lost 1 or 2% overnight.

Didnt know if you mention this earlier but does t-mobile apps like visual voicemail work on this rom?

Keep up the good work.

 

[GameTheory]

You have to open Xposed app and enable it and then you can enable GravityBox. GravityBox is a module for the Xposed framework.

There's no reason for charging issues. All I can suggest is to download the rom again then wipe and reflash.

I don't have a t-mobile f6 so I don't know if t-mobile specific apps work. This rom is based on Metro pcs firmware. Try the apps if you like.
