    My battery life has improved significantly. I get a whole day of constant use. 7-8 hours SOT. Heavy Data usage. Even running Xposed. Although my VPN eats battery like nothing now. It'll out suck the screen on juice

    You're absolutely correct.

     

    My fear isn't rooting, it is the endless customization and availability of different Roms, which makes choosing the correct one difficult for somebody that doesn't follow this stuff everyday. It is slightly overwhelming.

     

    I just want a bone stock Android L ROM that I can tweak from there, rooted obviously.

    AOSP has a long way to go to be stable on this. IMO stock is best for now, until all the major bugs get worked out of AOSP. It's actually been about a month since I checked in on it tho too.

     

    Personally Im just waiting for our awesome theme guy to theme up the stock L rom and I'll be happy. I've always prefered AOSP based ROMs to anything stock, until this phone. There is no speed difference anymore and LG doesn't add a whole lot to their stock roms so they are pretty aospish anyway.

    Rooted running 5.0.1 debloated. Sounds like LG needs to brush up on their OTAs. Glad I don't ever do stock. 4 months of it was bad enough waiting for root after release day. With the level of savvy in this community I often wonder why any one of you run stock. Rooting is all but idiot proof, and with a stock TOT file and a computer, nothing can stop you but hardware failure which root is not going to cause unless you mess with the CPU.

     

    And Coors is correct. 4.4.2 ZV4 is the only rootable version. ZV6 and ZV8 cannot be rooted and likely never will be.

     

    Sprint needs to hurry up with VoLTE and Carrier Aggregation. Although LTE in Denver area is pretty good minus Highlands Ranch.

    Im rooted and running the leak. No battery issues here. It's giving me 2-3 more hours SOT. Plus insane stand by. Maybe 1/2 a percent drain per hour. And it's still settling in. Any rooted users having battery issues can reset your battery stats. That almost always does the trick.

    It's ok. It took a lot of tinkering with build.prop to get phones calls ans SMS to stop crashing. But its SIM unlocked and Native Tether capable.

    If you're rooted there is an easy sound boost mod that works great. It with Viper is on par with your Note. I'll post the link when I can track it down.

    I thought that the SIM was only used for LTE. 1X/eHRPD is still connecting to Sprint. Try calling 611 and see if it's Verizon or Sprint.

    I didn't need too. The 3G switched to the network sim I had in. Caller ID showed as the number assigned to the test sims. And if it wasn't unlocked those sims wouldn't have worked at all......

     

    And yes my phone is rooted and I hacked the unlock myself. It's not something I can share yet as I have some bugs to work out like having to dial 1 before any US number or phone app crashes. I also need to remember what I did exactly as it was a combo of 4 methods from around the internet. I'm probably gonna return to stock and start over because my system is heavily modified and Im running custom UI components. Need to make sure none of that is giving me the phone crash issue.

    It works on Verizon but only 3G. I just popped in my friends sim. Completed phone calls and texts. Will be trying ATT shortly, and TMO later this week when I get my other sim. Its prepaid tho so I dunno. I also will be trying a Net10 sim. I hacked the unlock myself from a combination of methods from around the internet and some creative ShortCut Master work. If I had to list all steps I couldn't because I don't remember everything. Ive heard conflicting reports about these radios. I might try some different PRLs. And also gonna try to access the gsm main menu with a gsm sim but Im not very hopeful there.

    It's carrier unlocked for sure. I have to get my TMO sim from my daughters phone and try it.

    My understanding is all GSM Bands are covered but LTE is only three bands that Sprint owns so LTE won't work on any bands but those three.

     

    Not trying to argue so I hope it doesn't seem like that. Im just trying to learn/understand.

    So if the G3s radio is the same across all variants, should we not be able to hack an unlock that allowed me to use my prepaid sims in this phone? One is a piggyback on Sprint and the other is TMO prepaid. I just want one device to rule them all. This phone should be capable of running any sim unless Ive missed something?....

     

    Sprint wants to freak out about it being capable of running any sim cuz they are convinced Im gonna run away to some other carrier. I just wanna sell my secondary devices and keep the sims active but I need to use them sometimes. They are active after all. This device can run them all, it should be pretty simple coding somewhere that says not to allow all radio bands?

    I Bumped ASAP. Flashed new SU Binary. But mainly Bumped so I can flash AOSP as soon as it's out. I've been chomping at the bit thinking about how amazing this phone will be running CM.

    I got approved for the extra battery after getting this on opening day. They denied me so I said pretty please so they said ok. I'm not kidding either. LoL.
