Lollipop Update

Why arent they functional now? Just curious
Most of the proprietary features don't work in our current CM ROMs, like the remote, there's no guest mode like the stock software has. I know there's guest mode apps, but they don't work as smoothly as the integrated LG one. LTE is glitchy too. These 3 things have kept me from using any of the ROMs.

Just some info. LG posted an firmware update - Ls740zv6.
On the Sprint website for the Volt it says:

LS740ZV6 09/02/2015
  • Patch for critical security vulnerability ('Stagefright')
So unfortunately it seems it is just a patch and not an OS update to Lollipop.
Correct, it's just a security patch. It's posted in a thread in the Volt Rooting section. :)

I can't recall my source (it was just a few months back, but here I can't remember what I had for breakfast) but do recall that it seemed reliable enough to take fairly seriously

it stated a volt lollipop update should be rolled out in the third quarter of the year

So Oct 1 should be a good guestimate
