I got a notification this morning telling me zv6 was available. I installed it, and battery life seems awesome! The ota was 70 something megabytes. Seems pretty good so far. And there i was downloading the source and whatnot! Lol!
I flashed the update on my wifes "Data Done Right", lost root, got root, and now working okay. Tried using Xposed and a number of modules (the same ones I use on my VM Tribute) and caused a bootloop. I couldn't use the Xposed disabler, for some reason stock recovery replaced TWRP, so I factory reset (still had root). Reflashed recovery through Flashify. Tried Xposed and modules again. This time bad, bad system freezes. Lags like crazy, plus 10 min to boot up. So no Xposed for now until I can do some more testing on individual modules to see which one(s) is/are the culprit (when she stops playing Hay Day).
As far as the update itself I didnt notice any performance enhancements at all. Not battery either. Think I'll hold off on updating my VM Tribute for awhile.
Also on a side note, after the update on the wifes "Wally World" phone. Virgin Mobile sent an "official software update" which caused the phone to bootloop back to recovery. Anybody running into that problem, check out my thread for that at the link below. The commands work perfectly, phone booted right up.

/cacheSo the update downloaded, but I don't want to update as of right now. I would like to delete the update, but can't find it. Any one know where it downloads to?
I would just like to see some Vanilla AOSP or other custom ROM, something without any of LG intrusion. They almost have it locked down like HTC Sense.Yup! Hash_Brown's right...everything is fixable!
Flashed original,unmodded zv5 rom..then stock recovery. After loading the zv6 update, lost root, rerooted & flashed TWRP. Got GAPPS bootlooping and I gave up on zv6. Wiped & reflashed Deodexed zv5 V2 rom. Everything quit FCing after that. Back to normal now! Still holding hope for a zv6 deodex rom....or maybe CM12!
A girl's gotta have a dream!
The only thing I is see is the "radio.img" @ ~60 mb, haven't figured if its a good thing yet. Also the update breaks the "Tether Fix". ...
I'm not sure, but the radio.img probably is the culprit.Does the radio.img break the tether, or the entire system patch? Wondering if I should do the radio.img install or not, since I'd rather not de-bloat my phone again. Thanks!
