Root [ROM][MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Katana ROM Updated 11-16-2015

zimlokks · Jan 7, 2016

Just do it per usual, perhaps it isn't the ROM but something server side as well.

Little mod I just figured out, by changing the values of the txt file Lcd_on.txt here

to all zeros like so

disables that annoying led when you use knock on or knock off.

Heyo Blu8, I'm having trouble watching videos on a browser with this rom. Whenever I click where it says to use the device's video player, it instead takes me to this googlevideo.com/videoplayback site instead of using the lg video app. It then says the video is corrupted. The lg app on its own works fine and I set it as the default video player using a default manager app. Halp??

Rom nice thanks! Downloaded before I bought this phone today. I read each page and didn't see anyone metion this. So asking you all I guess who flashed? When people call, I can barely hear them. I made few calls to gf before flash and volume level was normal. Anyone else having this issue?

P.S. Shout out to Blue8 and masterchief! I didnt post much was in the shadows. But I remember the struggle with Samsung Avant

Ohh so this is sorta thought to be a g4tweaksbox issue, but you haven't used said app? If so it might be a small random bug, it happens when ever it wants. I have no idea about a fix or why it even happens.

Nickforever216 · Jan 18, 2016

Anyone have the issue I metion earlier? With low audio in call. Anyone?

SantitasHeart · Jan 18, 2016

Did you enable the modules in Xposed? Did you reboot after enabling them?

Yes yes ive used xposed on other roms

Blu8 · Jan 18, 2016

Well its user error because the xposed that comes packaged with the ROM works 100%

Maybe xposed is disabled? I remember I disabled it by spamming the volume - button because I got caught in a boot loop ._.

I installed GApps nano package to possibly fix a problem with buying a app for the first time on my PC and having it go to my phone. Not a real big deal because everything else work with Google play and apps being installed from my PC. Anyway, I haven't bought any apps so I don't know if it fixed anything but I do see a big change in battery life. Still not bad but drains faster them without it.
Can I remove the GApps nano package or to I have to re-flash the Rom and start over?
Thanks

Just flash the ROM again, don't wipe data, you'll be fine. Although gapps doesn't/shouldn't drain more battery.

First off love your rom, thank you! I turned the FM transmission on through Prop editor. The FM works on stock through this method. Blu8 suggested change the DPI to 320 (stock DPI.) Still won't work. Any ideals this is the case? Any way to get it to work?

you got the fm radio working? are you on metro or tmobile? and what app are you using to listen to the radio?

Blu8 · Jan 20, 2016

He's on MetroPCS I think but yeah enabling FM is just a build.prop edit, look for the line and change it from false to true. His problem is he can't get it work on Katana
Also if you do turn it on its on all the time so keep that in mind.

Nickforever216 · Jan 20, 2016

Yeah basically all of what blu8 said. The app is on the play store and it's called 'NextRadio.' Hey blu8 does that constant FM being on cause a lot of battery drain? I would think it would be less then data and wifi constant on.

yeah i knew about the buildprop edit and how it just stayed on all the time once it was enabled...but i thought i had read in another thread that it was only working on boost stylos

Blu8 · Jan 20, 2016

Couldn't really tell ya about the battery drain man, I never enabled it and never used FM radio on a phone before.
@AP2FTW well I think I saw someone say that they were using it with next radio and it worked for them, but again it's not something I've done.

Nickforever216 · Jan 20, 2016

Same^

If im not mistaking either boost or Att stylo comes with fm.apk stock ... That means it was enabled in the kernel by carrier.
And when you have it enabled n the app.. That allows you to turn it on and off so it dont drain battery

DB225 · Jan 22, 2016

Did GT give up on us?

AP2FTW · Jan 22, 2016

i sure hope not :/

THEMUDKIP12 · Jan 22, 2016
