First off, I'm not by any remote chance a developer or anything of the sort, I'm just your typical flashaholic enthusiast who thought he bought the wrong model phone, as development for the Canadian D801/D803 is seriously lacking. All I'm trying to do in this thread is trying to bring every bit and pieces of its development into a single thread. I'll try and give credit where credit is due, so please, if you believe you are the one to credit for something I post, let me know so I can give you the corresponding credit.
I cannot stress enough, please do a Nandroid backup before you attempt ANYTHING! I will not be held responsible for anything you do to destroy your phone! You have been warned!
Phone models compatible with this thread:
*Claro PR D801
*Wind Mobile D801
*Videotron D801
*Rogers D803
*Bell D803
*Telus D803
T-Mobile D801 is NOT compatible
Install TWRP Recovery on LG G2 Running Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM (All Models))
If you lose knock on/off feature, just dial 3845#*80x# (change x for phone version)
Then go to setting and update touchscreen firmware. Thanks to @Rotopeon for the heads up!
Now to the good stuff!
I'll first post the kernels that are compatible with this phone; to me, this piece of the puzzle alone is the most important to me, as this allows you to basically flash any rom you like to this phone.
Unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 for the LG G2 D803
Say thanks to @zr239 in his thread for this!
Kernels
1- Wootever kernel
Just click the one that reads (d803-custom-05) [Canada]. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.
2-Furnace kernel
Download the one that says D803 (for BOTH, do NOT download the one that says D801!) This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same.
3- Dorimanx kernel
Download the one that says D803, flash in recovery
4- Stock Claro PR (D801) kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D801 phones and D803. This kernel has the generic connectivity icons (no LTE icon etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!
5- Stock D803 kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D803 phones and D801. This kernel has the stock (your company issued) connectivity icons (4G LTE icons etc). Merely cosmetic, LTE speeds remains the same. Thanks @prking07 for the repack!
6- Houstonn's D803 AOSP Kernel 01-20-2014
7- Simple Kernel (Kit Kat compatible kernel)
Root
1- Kingo ROOT
This is how I personally have rooted various LG G2 phones; to me, it's the single, most easiest way to root almost ANY JB device. Try and see if this works for you.
2- Alternate root method
Try this if Kingo fails for you
Modems
By cross compatibility, it's implied that you will not cripple your phone if you flash any of these modems to a compatible phone: signal quality and end user experience may vary, so test whichever is better for you. If LTE goes missing on your phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, and in phone info, and select the LTE option. There's also apps in the Play Store that can do this for you.. Although these have been tested already, you never know when the planets will align and make thing go awry, so always make a nandroid, and please BACKUP YOUR EFS IF YOU'RE GOING TO MESS WITH MODEMS!
1- Stock D801 Claro PR modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
2- Rogers stock D803 modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
3- Stock Bell D803 Modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery.
4- T-Mobile stock modem
Flash this radio to you D801/D803, if, after flashing a T Mobile based rom, you get lousy signal. Will not brick/erase/destroy your phone. Flash via recovery.
5- KK Baseband If you're planning on upgrading to Kit Kat from 4.2.2 JB or AOSP, FLASH this file (baseband) before flashing the kit kat rom of your choice
Roms
Just download your favorite rom file, flash it via recovery, and IMMEDIATELY afterwards, flash one of the provided kernels in this thread! If you don't do this, you'll end up in fastboot!
1- Stock Bell Rom (rooted)
2- AOSP Roms: sweet compilation by @Dene_Bluesman!
3- Stock Claro PR Kit Kat KDZ file (Flash stock Claro ROM 4.2.2 JB, then flash this; if you do not, you'll be stuck on 49%)
4- Flashable Bell stock Kitkat D803B20e
5- Flashable Rogers stock Kit Kat D803R20D
6- Liquid Smooth AOSP
Recovery
1- TWRP 2.6.3.2
Bell Mobile
Roger Mobile (Also compatible with Claro PR)
2- TWRP 2.6.3.4
Download the file named (d803-twrp-recovery) [Canada], and flash it via custom recovery
3- Philz Recovery
To flash:
Download the above file and place it in /sdcard on your device. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!
Or if you comfortable with it, just Flashify the file
Here's a D803 Build prop just in case you need it
D803 Stock Build Prop
I'll add more stuff as needed, let me know if you need anything else and I'll post it here!

Flashed the D803 modem for the heck of it on my Bell D803, Lost LTE on stock, CleanRom 2.0, and PA. Just to be sure if speeds retained I did a speed test on each rom. Worse speeds ever. Flashed back to bell modem and all was well. I was bored lol

I can see that lol. I wouldn't mess around with radios too much, it's super easy to cripple your phone if you do. Now kernels, you can mess with them all you want. Bad comes to worse, you'll end up in fastboot, but just flash a working kernel and you're game.

Hey nice thread, very helpful and with everything they basically need to know for a head start. Just a few recommendations though.
I like to install the custom recovery first cuz that way I can make a nandroid of my phone's stock unrooted ROM. I'm not sure if that will clear the root check when restored but anyways is good to have a stock unrooted backup. That's a life saver for when you decide to root you phone and start playing with new ROMs and kernels. Then when you finally find a good ROM that you love and is stable you can delete it to free some space.
Also if you can edit the title to something like "[Canadian & Claro PR d803] Development" so that people looking for a thread with Claro info can know it's here. Our phones are actually 803s so maybe having 801/803 can confuse people; IDK. The stock ROM says 801 but I really have no idea why. Maybe they made their ROM kanging the T-Mo 801
Anyways anything I can help with I'm always here. Anyone can PM me when needed
So just to be clear, I can flash ANY Rom as long as I flash my stock kernel in recovery right after?

Doesnt break lte per se, if you dial *#*#4636#*#* phone info, and select lte it will work.
At least, me personally have tried every single d801/d803 modem on my phone, all work the same. Even the tmo one.

Your stock kernel or a kernel designed for your phone (custom or not). So far all roms work using this method; if you find a Rom that does not work, please let us know, as this would pretty much be the first one. Always have a nandroid ready just in case.

Hi all,
First, i would like to thanks omegajester for this great post
Next, my device is a LG G2 D801V11B LG-801 variant on Videotron canada.
I am confused as to which kernel, modem, recovery, roms i should put on my device, as all I really see is information for d803 or (one that i didn't know about) Claro Puerto Rico:
from the kernel section
1- Wootever kernel
Just click the one that reads (d803-custom-05) [Canada] ...
2-Furnace kernel
Download the one that says D803 ...
3- Stock Claro PR (D801) kernel
File was repacked correctly to not break Wifi, cross compatible with other D801 phones and D803 ...
4- Stock D803 kernel
Same confusion goes for the modem section :
1- Stock D801 Claro PR modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
2- Rogers stock D803 modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
3- Stock Bell D803 Modem
Retains cross compatibility. Flash via recovery. ...
4- T-Mobile stock modem
Flash this radio to you D801/D803 ...
I know this is very crucial. I know mine is label under the basband version : M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036
I got my phone rooted using the Chinese root method which worked well. I think I have tried installing all the TWRP version I could find and the only i got working is the 2.6.3.2 which if I am not mistaken prevent you from installing 4.4 rom (SELinux protection... ) By talking with Dees_troy he was able to provide me with a 2.6.3.3 test version of TWRP which is great but still can't install 4.4 roms.
My question is as follow:
At the end of the day, will I be able to install 4.4 rom on a twrp 4.4 on my canadian videotron version of the G2?
Thanks in advance
and sorry if I missed something or did not correctly understood something in the OP I have read it multiple time but still unsure as to what install/flash

Your D801 is basically a D803 in disguise. This being said, you should be able to flash any D803 branded piece to your phone. Example, my Claro PR D801 worked wonderfully with Roger's D803 TWRP version; also, kernels branded with D803 should work with your phone too (as they do with mine). Modems, unless you're experiencing crappy signal, should be left alone, unless you feel like testing different modems; usually LTE goes away, but can be reactivated with the methods posted in the OP. You should be able to flash the 2.6.3.4 TWRP on your phone without too much problem, and be able to, in fact, flash a 4.4.2 rom (as I have before- I end up always going back to a stock LG based rom though). Try it out and let us know how it goes!
PS: If you wish, you can leave us your stock modem and kernel files and we'll uploaded it here for the benefit of everyone, and gladly give you the credit for it :good:

just realized i posted this in the original android development thread, oops. mods please feel free to move to appropriate thread.
made a small change in the updater script to wipe cache.
after realizing that all apks and jars on 4.4+ have classes.dex files, even the odexed ones, i edited the updater-script to remove dalvik-cache entries for the vzw odexed files. this *should* be the final release of this mod afaict, at least for this build version.
Flashing now to give this a whirl. thanks
Just the fix I was looking for .... Beautiful

here's a small flashable zip i made that removes the vzw bloat and branding, and unlocks tethering (thanks dymmeh!).
it also replaces the moto setup process with the aosp one, which is only noticeable if doing a factory reset after installing; a side effect of hiding the setup launcher icon.

Can't say enough about how nice this all aspects of this.zip work. I've been running it over a day now and have absolutely no issues! It's so nice to have a tool that removes the VZW BS and enables native tethering all in one package. I hope future development on this package might include a "Return to stock .zip". with 4.4.2 ota in the near future.
Assuming this is only for the DE?

Perfect I assume the

dalvik-cache entries will be created on first boot, not the odex files; but they are included in the undo zip.
interestingly, odex files are not needed on 4.4+ as each apk and jar has a classes.dex file. you can safely delete all odex files, though there isn't really anything to gain by doing so unless you want to modify the smali code. also, deleting odex files will probably break ART capability.

Also, the dev asked that we only link to the thread, not the ROM itself.
Anyway, glad to see this MOD. It's exactly what I was looking for and likely what others wanted after the Eclipse ROM drama from a couple days ago... Stock and Xposed Framework friendly.

Rooting Information
Thanks to Chainfire's assistance a CF Auto Root package is available for this build.
You can download it by clicking here.
During testing SuperSU did not pick up that it stuck properly initially.
After KNOX started throwing the warnings it finally settled in. So you may need to play with it to get it to work.
This will likely be the case until an official Lollipop build is released so again, you're warned in advance.
Also, please note that unless it has been corrected the 5.0 compatible version of CFAR is not compatible with earlier versions.
You'll need to find an older version if you want to root on KitKat this way.

This ROM is the work of all of the above (and Sony of course), all that I have done is download the software and other files provided from the sources above, ran the programs, and uploaded the result for you to use.
If you have access to a Windows computer, there's nothing stopping you from doing the same for your specific Z Ultra model or region, if you download and use this ROM, thank each and every one of the XDA members above, not me.
In fact, If you have the above on your computer, you could probably build your own in less time that it would take for you to download this one.

Yes, how do we flash this?
OK so I flashed the 136 kitkat, and it let me flash this in recovery, runs smooth!
I flashed it, it completes in 1 second and doesn't work. Help please
Sounds like a bad download.
Check the MD5 checksum of the zip file that you have downloaded against the one that I have added to the first post.

!!! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING !!!
!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR WHILE INSTALLING/USING THIS !!!
This is a stock VS98547A firmware in flashable format. Big thanks to @roirraW "edor" ehT for getting us the 47A partitions!
FAQ:
Why isn't this debloated?
That wasn't the goal. I would HIGHLY recommend disabling OTA and all Verizon apps/services, however, as they are known to report your rooted status. There are plenty of threads here on xda describing this. You have been warned. The goal here was to distribute a full 47A base for all to do with as they please, nothing more.
Will you be updating this?
Unless I goofed and missed something on the initial upload, no.
What exactly has been modified?
I set the install up with a systemless SuperSU 2.68 beta, busybox, and removed a few LG Security checks. That's it.
Can I take an OTA with this installed?
Again, you should NOT take an OTA with this.
What bootstack should I use with this?
You should be on the 35B bootstack (located HERE). Without going into great detail, the 47A modem won't work without the corresponding 47A secondary bootloader (sbl1). Unfortunately, the 47A sbl1 doesn't play nice with the last bump-exploitable Android bootloader (aboot) we have from 12b. If you use that pairing, you'll put your device into 9008 bulk mode. So, that door is closed for now if you want a custom recovery or kernel. You are welcome to try using some of the other supporting partitions (dbi, factory, rpm, tz) to see if there are any improvements, etc. Just remember to stay away from modem and sbl1. Everything seems to work fine with the 35B set, but we'll find out one way or another as more people use this. I will look into a way to get the 47A modem working when I have time.
Will you be actively supporting this?
As this is a stock firmware package, any issues you have while using it are in LG/Google/Verizon's code. As such, I will not be supporting this. XDA has a Q&A section for general help.

Installing:
Make sure you have a backup in case anything goes wrong.
If you aren't already using it, flash the 35B bootstack zip (link above).
Wipe data & cache in TWRP (do not wipe internal storage unless you have the install zip on an external sdcard)
Flash the VS98547A FW zip below. DO NOT swipe the prompt in TWRP to install SuperSU. TWRP doesn't see SuperSU because it isn't in system, but it's still rooted. Also, the phone will reboot twice after flashing. This is a normal part of the systemless SuperSU install.

VS985 debloat scripts
Here's a link to my VS985 debloat scripts post for both the VS985 and VK810. My debloat zips have been updated and will work with both devices up to 46A for the VS985.
NEW: @@joshua70448 was kind enough to make an online tool to automate making custom debloat zips according to what a user selects to debloat:

I put together an online tool that lets you pick exactly which files to remove in a debloat script and builds the flashable ZIP and MD5 files for you (as well as a full list of deleted files).

Link to his online tool and to his original thread to thank in my thread I link to above.
These should work for 47A or any future stock ROM release as well. If they added any new bloat or changed the location of any bloat it would work for everything but what they changed.
The only things I've done to the debloat scripts every time a new stock ROM is released is added any new locations and unnecessary apps.
@RoxanaSchram linked a flashable zip of a standalone version of Verizon Visual Voicemail in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65417925&postcount=654
Here's a link to the non-flashable 46A Verizon Visual Voicemail app that the "All" and "Verizon" debloat scripts remove: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28519. You'll have to extract it (I use ZArchiver in the Play Store), move the folder to system/priv-app and give the apk the same permissions that other APKs in other subfolders of priv-app have.
Most anything else you should be able to find in the Play Store.
Y'all are truly great! I'm going to flash the hell out of this soon.
Thank you for all of your work!
Thanx, For me, you said I was a little bit difficult???. actually, 12b bootstack +24b modem, can run well.
VS985 USER
Thanks brot you are awesome... My question i can install xposed whit this rom
roirraW "edor" ehT said:
First! ☺
I probably will post debloat zips here sometime. Similar to my ones for the VK810.4G LG G Pad 8.3 I have, and have linked to in my signature below. They will partially work in the meantime, just some apps are in different places on the G3 so some won't get debloated.
My No OTA zip should definitely work though.
I'll post direct links when I'm ready.

Same precautions as usual, backup. It should work fine - mine just debloat more, but I got started by modifying @hsbadr 's with his permission. Debloating is just deleting files.

I don't understand what you're asking but they should be able to answer in the Xposed thread.

What is being asked is if the D855 Xposed support zip needs to be flashed so Xposed would work on 46A.
Will this rom remove twrp?
Advanced Calling
Anyone know if advanced calling/HD voice works with the 35B modem on this ROM, or do we need to get the 46A modem working for that? Do we need to disable it to get any call audio like we did in 35B with the 24B modem?

Okay, thanks!
No idea, haven't tried yet. Make a TWRP backup, try without and see what happens. If broke, restore backup and try with it.
