What is the file size for the ROM you downloaded? You'd only get a corrupted error if the file never finished downloading.

just wanted to say that this ROM has improved my experience with the LG Leon so much that I have decided to use this phone as my daily driver. it is so much snappier than stock or CM12, and that being said it is about as snappy as my Note4 with SlimRemix was, which is saying a lot considering the differences in specs. props to the dev and to all of us for this gift. amazing that i got this phone for $29 and it just as pleasant to use as my $600 Note4 and my $800 Note5 were.

First off, I just wanna say thank you. This is a fast, smooth ROM & I registered here so I could do this.

Second, aside from the random GPS failures & the video recording issue, I've noticed one other issue. Mounting loop devices doesn't work when the image is stored on vfat-based filesystems like the internal (emulated) storage & an external SD card. It gives an "invalid operation" error when I try. It works fine on ext4 partitions, however, so it seems an issue with the vfat/sdcardfs kernel module.

Anyway, assuming this ROM is still in development (I hope it's not dead!), if you need a tester, I have a spare MS345 I can test on without worry, as I only use my H345.

Hey Sorry For my grammar, but anyhow I love this ROM it worked better than The unofficial Cyanogen from Cm12.1 I have the C50 I have but one question Is It possible for you to make a Marshmallow build for the c50 I know it would be hard work but the latest update for the lg Leon Does not allow us to root sadly But It would he very appreciated also Can you direct me to a kernel that isn't limited because I can't get any Artificial ram via swap file because I have a "Limited kernel And that I cant have over 100 Mbs more" even though I erased the swap file and made a new one with 50 and still got the same message.

Thank You.

I'm working on building cm13, but that is taking forever and a half with life getting in the way.
I saw that xenon HD was built with marshmallow for the G3 so if I can get even the framework for cm13 to build for my h345, I'll do my best to port xenon 6.0 over.

Does anyone know if this is related to the phone rebooting whenever the USB SD mount to a PC connection is made? Seems to work fine when USB is set to Charge only or PTP but selecting MTP seems to force the phone to reboot. Selecting it again after it reboots causes it to do so again. Any ideas?

Just Finally rooted my LG Leon.

Want to replace this stock ROM. Is the Twrp in the OP the only one that can be used to flash this ROM?

Is this the only reliable custom ROM for the Leon?

Go on the internet and look for TWRP 2.8.7.0 for ms345, that one worked for me. And yes it is better than CM12.1. For the camera you may want to use snapdragon camera or h2oOS camera instead of stock and the GPS issues resolve by themselves.

Thanks, I used the TWRP that was posted in the OP.

I"m not using as a daily driver just a backup. This ROM Really works well.

The camera blows regardless of app since you cannot focus. Not using it anyways so it doesn't matter.

what do you mean by "the GPS issues resolve by themselves"? my issue is that signal is really good but never actually get a fix.

Yes, they all work. Two notes, however:
1. You might need to adjust APN settings. For example, the "T-Mobile (IPv6)" APN needs to be changed to use "IPv4/IPv6", since it's really slow otherwise.
2. GPS might cause random reboots, but usually works fine. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's likely the GPS acting up. Enable Airplane mode from the quick settings, then disable Location in main settings to stop it. Then you can use an app to reset the GPS. I've used this one with success: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
