I've been playing around with it for a bit. This so far has been the only cm11 that seems to boot for me.
Bugs I've noticed so far:
-Settings<PAC Settings<Init.d force closes evrytime you press it.
-random reboots.
-sometimes when you lock the phone, it takes a couple clicks of the power button to wake the phone.
-Settings<WiFi force closes whenever you press it so you can't add any new wifi
-you can't sideload apps or accept superuser requests. It might be because I'm using the nav bar ? Not because of nav bar
-torch doesn't work
I'll add more as I encounter them.
Also, you added Root Explorer, you can't have paid apps in a ROM.Just a heads up. Don't want you getting in trouble. :)

I can only get to the loading screen and it hangs. I'm coming from 4.4.2. Should I be coming from a CM11 version? Also are we to expect the other roms mentioned? Is there even going to be anymore development for this one?

Development depends on the developers, really the community as a whole. There are still people working on the F6 but dev would be much faster, and more devs if we had a stable 4.4.4 kernal for the US version.

As the months pass it looks like LG won't be releasing a US version, although it appears they already have it ready. As we are approaching the holiday season people will be shopping more, and you might just buy a new phone if your stuck back on a old version.


They may just toss it out there at some random find. Like here, open sourced, years later

Random boots is also a problem on CM11.

The black screen is also a problem on CM11. Changing the launcher seems to fix this although your launcher may hang a second on turning the screen on. Uninstall or at the least freeze the other launchers you may have installed. Every time the phone has to check what launcher gives it another opportunity to mess up. Remove the launcher, no problems.


But very happy to see another ROM come out on this.

Unfortunately I actually use my phone, and I don't have a test device (well I do but I can't get root, and custom ROM's. It's the HTC Sensation 4g TMobile if anyone actually knows a working method, especially on linux.) Combine that with the fact that the file system is so messed up that switching ROM's isn't easy. I have to back everything up, format, partition, and my SD card reader doesn't work so I have to rely on other methods to move the files. (Copy from one partition to another, then to backup drive).

I will however add this to my queue and see what happens.

OK my problem I'm having with this ROM is that my led on my phone just keeps going off can ya help

That's it? As I've heard since this is the same as the other cm11 then led won't work and its due to locked bootloader? Kernal? Reason I'm asking is my main problem is the reboots. That is what bothers me the most followed by echo/in call sound problem and speaker phone.

I wonder if I flash this "dirty" style will the random reboots not happen since they are not now. Well, I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'll report back my findings. This is my favorite ROM, on F6 anyways, if it wasn't so buggy.
