I installed v12, when using links2sd, it is saying my ext2 partition is not mounted. Any idea how to get it to read? I ran the mount script, but got an error

sandix · Nov 2, 2014

I have never used links2sd, but im sure my sdcard swapper app is not compatible yet, i would suggest only using one of them. To use links2sd, or make an attempt to fix it, try following the steps to set it up again, minus formatting that partition.

Works well, other than the known "google search" issue. Its my new daily driver. Thanks again

sandix · Nov 3, 2014

I found a way to fix the google search issue, but now after doing one search, voice search does not work anymore. Hot Word detection works before voice search crashes. I should be able to fix this before tonight.

sandix · Nov 3, 2014

Well some bad news guys: Hot Word Detection will never work right on our device until we get an update for android 4.2 or better. (At least google's hot word detection, 3rd party detection should still work) This is an issue on googles end, and I cannot fix it without LG updating our device.

sandix · Nov 3, 2014

Version 14 released:
Since Google Now Launcher and Search will never "properly" work (As in Hot Word Detection) I removed it from the ROM. I replaced it with apex launcher.

Now you can install Voice search if you want that feature, that will still work. But Hot Words will not.

Also new download size is 289MB meaning with a fresh flash, no updates, or 3rd party apps installed you get 1.01GB FREE SPACE FOR APPS!!!!!! Enjoy!

Screen of storage:

Also, as of version 14, you can now donate to me through the settings application if you so choose to do so.

Any amount is fine with me

Awesome work! After the nightmare I experienced when I updated to v8 this is a refreshing experience. I'll follow the thread closely if you need anymore testing on our end and post any bugs I come across (if I ever do).

Thanks man!

Right now I am looking for anyone running AdvancedStock7 Version 14, and I need to know if they are getting update notifications.

Downloading v14 atm, I'll post back with any results I have.

sweg · Nov 3, 2014

Got the same update has stopped message as before. No issues as of yet.

for now that's normal as I removed anything I could find that had ota in the name. I'd just ignore it for now.

I thought you were referring to the stock OTA updates in your earlier post. What update notifications are you referring to?

sandix · Nov 3, 2014

Stock ota not my custom OpenOTA. Its no big deal though

sweg · Nov 3, 2014

Yeah, nothing. Rebooted a few times to be sure and still nothing. Sorry for the confusion.

sandix · Nov 3, 2014

Its all good. Just glad to get some type of feed back on the ROM

kgjohns · Nov 4, 2014

Are you able to get to the system settings using the menu hotkey with V14? V13 just took me to some Google settings.

Version 14 fixes that issue by using apex launcher instead. So Yes

Am I doing something wrong that with the sd swap, apps still go to the actual internal memory, not the swapped out SD card?

Because of the way android mounts the partitions, the physical apk (or app) is always going to be on the internal storage.

Only app data (game data, downloads, obb data, etc) will go to the sdcard, not internal storage.

I hope I explained this well.

Having quite a few issues with this ROM.

-- Can't use Widget Locker. Get an error message when starting app to setup the lock screen: 'Unfortunately, Widget Locker has stopped'.
-- Every time phone is rebooted, an error is displayed: 'Unfortunately, update Device has stopped.' Press 'OK' and all is good. Very annoying, however to see this when phone is rebooted.
-- Can't use Link2SD. When opened, Link2SD asks what the partition type of SD card is. Choosing the partition type brings up an error message: Mount script cannot be created. /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/init-link2sd.sh: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied).
-- Also getting Sync errors under Settings --> Accounts & sync
-- Can't use Palmery Weather. Force Closes.

Can these things be fixed?

sandix · Nov 6, 2014

Links2SD is having permission issues because you either A) didnt give it root perms, check SuperSU to see if it was denied. Or B) allowed the sdcard swapper to run (sd card swapper is not compatible with links2SD) the error whwn the phone reboots is because i removed LG's OTA app from the phone (To disable it, see a previous comment in this thread)
Sync errors? Can you be more descriptive please

IDK what palmery weather is, but see if you can update google play services( google can help with that as i am not home so i cannot look it up from my phone)
for widget locker, i can look into that tomorrow afternoon and i will take a look at the others as well at that time.

I would also like to note a couple things:
1. In mt OP i made mention of a lot of these errors people might see (more specifically the update force close error)
This ROM, though based on stock, has had a lot of modifications, custom apps written for it by myself, and a lot of items removed to save space (To get as much space as possible for apps
because LG decided this phone didnt need space)

Some apps might crash because of this. I usually fix these kinds of things pretty quickly, so dont worry about that!

Also, i do not have any sync errors.

If yoy have anymore feed back let me know!

I disabled the SDSwap app and still have errors with Link2SD.

When going into Settings --> Accounts & Sync then pressing on the 'Google' Account, the next screen shows 'Sync error' below the Gmail email address. When going into that account, all items, i.e., App Data, Calendar, Drive, People Data, etc, show a date and time last synced. Not sure I understand why.

Also noticed shortcuts don't show on the default lockscreen.

kgjohns · Nov 6, 2014

I was also getting the sync error, but it seems to have fixed itself...syncs fine now.

Using Links2SD and not having any issues. I uninstalled SDSwapper and rebooted first, then re-partitioned my SD card, and had to recreate mount scripts for it to recognize the partition.
