Root PAC ROM/PA/Carbon interest?

Ya that's what I was asking U. If u were talking about a ROM compatible for my LGMS500? this pac ROM u speak of my friend_?
No it is not. If you try flashing it on your f6 the best thing that could happen is that it will give you a soft brick and cause you to have to restore a backup or re-flash the factory firmware. In a worst case scenario there is always the possibility that it could hard brick your phone and leave you with an unfixable paperweight.

Yea I know I was going too. Originally I was reading to contradictory guides.but I think I found a Good one
XDA university should be a great place to start learning. It's a collection of tutorials written by top developers who in some cases work on official releases of the big name custom roms like CM PAC DU PA and Carbon.

someone use it as a base for you own ROM if you want, I dont want to support it, maybe I can answer some questions here and there
I did a factory restore form TWRP, then flashed the Carbon ROM and GAPPS (only installed the TWRP app). Every two hours, the phone turns off and the notification light flashes red and green. Then I have to hold the power button to boot up again. When it boots back up, it works for 2 more hours then the same happens. Is there anyway to solve this? I have the MetroPCS variant. Thanks in advance. It's been happening since yesterday.

Do another factory reset and delete the android folder on your internal storage. You shouldn't be having those problems. I only had that happen once in the last 3 days and I think it was because of one of the Xposed modules I'm using. Also, if you are using Xposed then reflash the ROM & gapps too and do a clean install and don't install Xposed.

I have this happen too on Carbon, but only when auto rotation is enabled while watching YouTube streaming audio over Bluetooth.
When I disable auto rotation it stops doing it.
Your mileage may vary.

The only issue I've been having is with notifications. Sometimes they look normal and sometimes they look like the screenshot below. Also, heads up notifications sometimes have white text on a black background and sometimes have black text on a white background. It all seems pretty random.

Honestly, I have no idea how to reproduce it. I just got done formatting data and then flashing PAC ROM. Maybe I'll try a clean install next time. When I say clean install I mean formatting system cache and data before flashing. I think the last time I installed carbon I just did a plain factory reset which leaves /sdcard/android untouched. Its possible that I still had some incompatible data laying around.

maybe someone could see if they can have the lock screen change wallpaper
Go into themes and select android system default for wallpapers and lock wallpapers. Then whatever wallpaper you choose after that will be applied to the lock screen and home screens. If you want to use a different lock wallpaper than what shows on the home screen then you have to use a wallpaper that is built into a theme as your lock screen wallpaper.

Yes I was hoping we could change the wallpaper in the lock screen its self, so there would be different wallpaper
