[VS995 (VZW)][ROM + Kernel] NRD90M Modded NotSoStock ROM v5.5 1/1/2017 - LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm

[QRCODE][/QRCODE]Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**Multi-user working!
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR4
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Thanks to @imucarmen for getting me the IMG files, and for testing.
Latest: v5.6
The only change in 5.6 is the addition of LGMessage. Somehow this ROM did not include a text messaging app... WTF? So I added it in from my H918. v5.6 is a full ROM, not just an update. You do not need to be on 5.1 first. Just flash 5.6 and good to go.
v5.5 changes below
v5.5 is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup. 5.5 is an update only! You must first flash 5.1, then 5.5. You can tell TWRP to flash files in sequence, so it's no hassle. ZIP no longer checks your device, so be sure that you are flashing for the model the sticker on the phone says that it is.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you are able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what.
Used more independent defconfig lines, hopefully static will go away... I highly doubt it, might even cause a no-boot issue. If it does, just tell me and I'll fix it up.
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Can confirm Pokemon GO and Android Pay work perfectly. Just need to hide root.
Use the app attached.
Checkmark where it says "Stop all su daemons"
Reboot
Open RootSwitch again, and the checkmark should still be there, click disable root, and test with an app called SafetyNet Helper Sample from Play Store. When root is disabled, SafetyNet test will pass with a full green screen.
When you are done playing, you can enable root again. The game checks every so often, so root needs to be disabled to play for X amount of time.
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Updated to latest Super SU
No need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 68
Value 129
Contrast 127
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Having issues? Read below.
I need you guys to hear me out on this...
I do not have this phone, I cannot do any sort of testing, nor do I keep up with your rooting method.
That said, I cannot fix things that were broken due to the bootloader (such as Static Boot), so if WiFi calling did not work for you after flashing the custom bootloader, please don't ask if it is fixed... I do not know how to fix it. When/if it is fixed, I will let you guys know that it is fixed and who to thank for said fix.
Additionally, I need you to tell me things that do not work. I might not be able to get to all messages, or questions, so if you see that I did not reply, ask again and again until I do... I will reply and answer (obviously don't spam). Be sure to quote me, mention me, or message me. I do not check-in with these threads, just the H918 thread. If you do not send me a notice, I will not know that my attention is needed.
What issues that are ROM-related, not user-related can you report? You will know it is user-related if you modified anything in the phone/ROM.
If you flashed a different kernel, I cannot help you; flash back to the NSS kernel, and re-test.
If you are unsure about an issue, do a clean flash (in TWRP: Wipe-->Advanced-->select Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE OR SDCARD)-->Swipe to wipe-->Install ROM-->boot phone, do not change or install anything. Retry your issue, if it is fixed, great. If it persists, go into your SD Card, and Internal Storage, remove the folders called "Android" and ".android_secure", reboot and try again. Still doesn't work? Mention me and post it here.
Remember, you can backup your USER apps in Titanium Backup (do NOT backup system apps, or restore system apps/system data).
You can also backup your existing setup and apps in TWRP so you can flash back to your original setup. This is good if you did a clean flash, and your problem is still there, you can restore your backup and be like nothing was changed.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!

Note to all. You will notice that the theming option is missing from the settings under home. Don't fret! Theming is still in the Rom you just need to add a shortcut for it. I'm personally using Nova Prime and assigning an activity for the theming app so it makes an app icon. There are independent apps in the store that can do this as well.
Just a heads up for those of you using themes and wondering how to apply them.
@Tilde88 so a hot reboot let's you see the boot animation and I wanted to let you know it needs scaled down. It's way too large and actually is blurry because of it.

The bootanimation is the right size, as it is the same that I use for the other models. There is something fishy with your bootloaders after doing that conversion thing. I don't fully understand it.

I see. Just letting you know the things I'm seeing. I hot reboot on the US996 rom and the boot animation was normal size. On the vs995 the word android is gigantic. It spans from edge to edge of the display and looks like a size 26 font lol

Kernel crashed @Tilde88 I was using some custom settings so maybe that's why. I was underclocking and using the Blu Active gov and the zen hotplug.

Any chance of a Sprint ROM?

I don't understand what you are saying. Lot's of typos. Also, over/underclocking does not stick, as it is not unlocked in the kernel.

lol it was only one typo. Made should have been maybe.
According to Kernel Adiutor it's sticking. I have the cpu max clock set to 1920 and it never goes above it.

Perhaps. Definitely, I would try downloading a new copy. I didn't have any issues flashing.

Can you guys tell me if you are having USB issues when plugging in to your PC. Trying to figure out if the ROM has a bug or if someone has a driver issue.
Thanks.

No issues here connecting to computer through usb.

Um, this ROM and kernel is built for the VS995, so if the sticker on your phone says VS995, flash it.

Current Events
Dodo released! This means this ROM is now extinct. Sorry! If links below fail, try this one!
OTA is in Beta. Will be included in CM 13 release once both are stable. OTA will be available before full-sized versions due to the testing process (updates are tested first).
SnapChat will not work without some help. This is entirely SnapChat's fault for trying to control your device. Please read this thread before flashing and how you can make it work. Or just open Xposed installer, install Snapprefs and reboot.
Introduction
Welcome to the fastest and most stable ROM for your OnePlus. This thread is mainly a support thread for Jgcaap's awesome work, allowing him to spend more time working on "M" and less time answering questions. His latest builds will be tested by me, hand selected for stability, and the best of the crop will be repackaged, enhanced, and placed here. If you are new to this ROM, check the screen shots for benchmark results and battery life screenshots. Be amazed, then download the ROM and be even more amazed! Smooth as glass and flows like water! As one person has said, "Disgustingly Fast!"
Please read this entire post! Check back often for updates. Also, current jgcaap users will get additional information and tips that can be useful. Check out all the links! And if you want to try some Bacon wrapped Marshmallow, click the bent arrow in the Announcement's line.
Wildlife
Each ROM will be named by an animal, starting at A for Aardvark. A picture of the animal will be placed here so you can see at a glance which release is current. The original jgcaap ROMs often have multiple releases in a single day, and every country has a different date format, so the animal names will allow us to represent specific "official" releases with memorable names.

Features & Changes
The ROM gets repackaged so that new users don't have to go about tracking down which files they need and which order to flash things. The firmware is included and everything is set and ready to go. For legal reasons, just add your own GApps and go. This ROM currently has the following feature's prepackaged and already included with the ROM ...
SuperSU (pre roooted)
Xposed (special jgcaap version)
Moab Ad Blocker
--- ZooKeeper can configure this!
ColorOS Camera
--- with manual focus option
Viper (Audio Eargasm)
Dolby ATMOS! (Dodo+)
Send Reduced (send small pics)
CatLog (for bug reports)
Show On Lockscreen (wallpaper)
OmniSwitcher (optional)
Init.d Support (Badger+)
Governor: blu-active (Badger+)
Low call volume fix
OTA Support (coming soon!)
Support, Questions, Feature Requests and Bugs
Please report all bugs for CM12.1/Lollipop based Jgcaap ROMs to this thread. Even if you didn't download one of the Wildlife pre-packaged ROM sets! Feel free to ask questions. This thread will have the same warm inviting atmosphere that jgcaap's development thread has always had. Newb-friendly and all are welcome!
Getting Started
There will be two ROM images available. The update packages will be designed with a smaller download size with only the files that have actually been changed. The installer will not remove things you have added nor re-install programs you have removed. If you are already using a WildLife ROM, use the Update packages to upgrade. This does not apply to full versions. The full versions should be clean flashed.
The next post will have Step-by-Step instructions telling you exactly what you need to do and how to go about flashing your phone or upgrading. The post after that will have all the tips and tricks for maximum tweaker power. Finally, we'll have instructions on how to rescue your phone when something goes wrong.

Flashing WildLife
Flashing Instructions - Full ROM
Step 1 - Backup
If you don't have a backup program, you can grab a really fast and free one, Backup+. XDA Forum | My Mirror - Direct Download. Be sure you keep the APK on your Internal Storage so you can install it easily and restore the rest of your apps. Also, I strongly recommend you copy your internal storage (or at least the backup directory) onto a PC, a harddrive, a flash drive, or cloud storage such as Google Drive. Get it off your phone and make it safe.
Step 2 - Boot into Recovery
Even if your reboot menu doesn't have a Recovery option, you can always just hold down the Volume Down button when your phone boots and you're good. I recommend Philz Recovery from this XDA thread or you can download the exact ZIP I use.
Step 3 - Wipe Carefully
This step is what is known as a "clean flash". Do not perform this step if you are flashing an upgrade or addition. If this is the first time you've flashed this ROM, you want the full version and you want to do it cleanly. Failure to clean flash leads to odd problems. For example, Agent stopped reading my calendar, or my Camera plugins would start to disappear.
You do not want to do a Factory wipe or anything like that or you'll lose all your data. Do not format /data. Here's where it gets confusing. Many recovery systems treat /data and Internal Storage as if they were separate partitions, but they are not. Your internal storage is on the same partition as /data. If you are from Windows, image your /system is your C: drive, and /data (where your apps are at) and your internal storage are both on D:. Your recovery has a specific wipe designed to safely wipe /data without wiping out your internal storage by erase directories individually, yet automatically.
Philz makes this simple and direct. Select Wipe and Format Options, then select Clean to Install a New ROM. Confirm the wipe, and you are ready to go.
Step 4 - Flash the ZIP
This is pretty easy. Select the option to flash it, find it on your device, and away it goes. If you downloaded the file to your PC (or wiped your internal storage and now have no files on your phone), you can use the "sideload" option you see in the menu. Just plug in a USB cable and type: adb sideload Aardvark.zip This does require that you have adb drivers set up on your PC, but you needed that to unlock your bootloader, right? More tips like this in a later post!
Step 5 - Flash your Gapps
The most important part of Gapps is making sure its for Lollipop. The more up to date, the better. You should download the smallest GApps that fits your needs, just so you don't have to download so much. You can specifically control which Gapps are installed with a config file. Just drop the gapps-config.txt into the same directory as your gapps ZIP file. This file can even delete crufty Cyanogen apps that you don't need or want (you have better ones from Play store right?) and reduce bloat considerably.
About the Gapps Config | OpenGapps is the recommended Gapps package | Newer Sources for Gapps | My gapps-config.txt ... note: you might not want to use my config unless you want almost all your Cyanogen apps to go away. When the system comes up, you won't have a file manager to install Backup+. I install it with "adb install BackupPlus.apk" or if its on the phone, you can log in with adb shell and then install with pm install $PWD/BackupPlus.apk
TIP: If you have Chrome installed from Gapps, you can open it and type "file:///sdcard" in the URL window and then select your Backup+ or Titanium Backup APK to install it. Be sure you have "Install from unknown sources" turned on. Now you can restore your good File Manager (like FX File Manager mentioned in Post #5) from your Backup and don't need Cyanogen's!
NOTE: If you have trouble with OpenGapps, then you can try my stable mirror or SlimGapps (which is now recommended by jgcaap, but I've not tried it myself yet ... but expect it to be the new recommended after I run it through the paces).
Step 6 - Reboot your Phone
After flashing, the first time your phone comes up, its going to optimize itself and you should expect it to take awhile. Don't panic, and wait a few minutes. I refuse the CyanogenMod account (you already have a Google one, and Cyanogen doesn't offer anything extra and defintely do NOT send bug reports or analytics to Cyanogen!). I also go into Settings, About Phone, tap the Build Number like a mad monkey to turn on Developer options, and from there, I enable the Reboot Menu, Fast Boot, Cut the animations down to below 0.5, and turn on ADB since I'll be installing Backup+ over ADB.
Step 7 - Restore your Backup
Use your file manager (or ADB) to install your backup program and then restore the rest of the apps from your backup. I keep my Wifi off so that Google Play won't freak out and try upgrading stuff while its restoring. Do not use ROM Settings Backups to try to move settings from one ROM to another (thats what Update files are for). You can usually restore your Desktop with Backup+ by restoring the data for Trebuchet if you formerly used another Cyanogen release. The next reboot I go to Play Store and upgrade any apps that need it.
Step 8 - Final Config / Updates
I haven't found a perfect way to back up Trebuchet and my desktop ... but Backup+'s system backup tool (paid feature) can be used to restore the Trebuchet data, which gets everything but the widgets. If you use OmniSwitcher, just turn it on. If you use Xposed, it should already be working and active. If you don't use Xposed, jgcaap's version won't slow down your phone or cause glitches. However, if you really don't want it on your phone, you can flash this to deinstall it and can reinstall it without flashing the whole ROM by flashing this file.
MaxxAudio is gone ... use Viper. Set it to Super Audio Quality and reboot when it says to (Aardvark only, no reboot required for Badger and above). More about Viper here. I strongly recommend reading as there are a lot of optional add-ons (convolvers and such for emulating other tones and systems) but many of these will use significant battery power. I don't even use it for the built-in speaker. You can control it per output device, and have different profiles, such as if you have multiple pairs of headphones or different USB Audio devices.
Please Donate to the developers when you use an app. It is only through your support that you get to use high quality apps. This ROM has ads blocked, so developers of free apps will go poor and hungry since they won't be getting any revenue from your ad clicks!
Flashing Instructions - Updates
An update is a slimmed down version without any apps (unless they've been updated), no firmware, no media files, etc. And it avoids flashing over files you may have changed or deinstalled, like the hosts file or various bundled apps. It doesn't touch your settings, you don't need to wipe anything, and it just upgrades in-place. All you need to do is Steps 2 and 4 and 6!! Updates are clearly labelled. Never wipe your phone when installing an update! No OTA yet.
Tweaking
Tweaking, Trimming and Theming
Kernel
There is a UKM for jgcaap's kernel which is in the download area. You'll need Synapse from Play store to use it. I don't recommend tweaking the kernel, but if you want the option it is there. Just download the ZIP, flash it in recovery, and you can start tweaking some kernel parameters! Personally, I use 3C Android Tuner (see below) because it can tune more than just the kernel, but you might find something UKM does that 3C doesn't. As as Badger, you can use the init.d script option for restoring settings imposed by kernel tweakers.,
Governor
Your governor controlls when your CPU is at full blast, when it throttles down, and how quickly it changes and by how much. This will affect battery and performance (and "lag") considerably. As of Badger, the default CPU governor is "blu_active". You won't need to ever change to "Performance" mode to squeeze out more power, its runs even more fluid than before, and battery life is as good as ever. There are a couple ways to select the governor. The one I use is 3C (below). The only source of lag is memory. If you run out and Android has to swap stuff out, there will be a noticeable delay. If you rarely get lag, but get it rather severely, I bet its when you have 20 apps open and a million installed with their own background services and content providers! Suddenly the OOM (Out Of Memory) killer attacks and your phone stops for a second or two. I'm testing a possible solution, but everyone's phone is different.
CPU Temp
How hot does your CPU get? If you run Cardboard like me, you might be concerned. If you have to switch to an app to find out, then your CPU will have already cooled by the time you see the temp. This CPUTemp App displays an overlay anywhere you want that will show you your exact temperature. It can also save the data and give you in-depth graphs of CPU speed, load, and temperature. Alternately, you can just use this Xposed module to always show the CPU temperature in your status bar. (WARNING: I've not tested this Xposed module myself).
Xposed
Wildlife already has Xposed installed. If you have heard of requirements that your ROM must be deodexed or odex or and that you will have compatibility issues or slowdown, the current news is that the latest Xposed works on odexed ROMs and jgcaap has personally blessed some modifications to increase speed and compatibility with this ROM, and final result is packed into Wildlife. However, until you install some Xposed modules, it lies dormant. Fire up the Xposed Installer and you can start searching for tools to tweak how your phone looks, how it acts, how it sounds, and tweak some more battery life. Once you install a module, activate it, and then reboot.
Please be aware that not all Xposed modules are compatible with Lollipop and not all modules are created equal. I have heard mixed reports on GravityBox in particular. If for some reason your phone gets horribly confused and won't boot because of some Xposed module you have installed, or if you just hate the idea of having Xposed and want it gone. There is a solution! Flash this Xposed Uninstaller and if you flash this and want Xposed to come back, just Flash Jgcaap's modified v75 Xposed framework.
Ones I use are the 3C Toolbox helper, Clarity (makes your contacts in better definition), No Device Check (privacy), RootCloak (hides root), Smart Network (auto switches between 3G and LTE to conserve battery).
3C ToolBox
If you like tweaking, this toolbox has a little bit of everything. You can view logs, including last kernel boot log (the one that ran before you crashed), open a terminal, set a firewall, change CPU and GPU governors, disable services, remove programs from the start-up list, change network congestion control ... the list goes on and on!
Here is the XDA thread (with download links) for this tweaker's toolbox.
Battery Extensions
The first step to checking battery problems is Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats. These tools will tell you where your juice is going. If an app is holding a wakelock, ditch the app or alert the developer. Once you see what is chewing the most battery you can launch an assault on it with these tools:
Xposed Modules - Again, I'm going to defer to an expert source, @V7 's Extreme Battery Life Thread for all the goodies on PowerNap, Greenify, Amplify, and all the others that you've heard about.
Underclocking - I simply do NOT recommend this. Why? Well I checked Better Battery Stats! And my CPU had only been at full speed for 6% of the time. The next speed was under 2Ghz. So, is it worth slowing down your phone by 20% in order to achieve an overall savings of about 1.2% battery? The reason for this is that your system has what's called a governor that predicts how much CPU you need at any given moment and adjusts accordingly. This means you only use max CPU when you need it! If you underclock, then you are slowing down your phone when you need it most. You might even waste more battery because you'll be keeping your screen on longer waiting for your phone to finish!
Undervolting - I don't like this idea either. Basically, the voltage is how much strength it takes to open the transistor gates, like little doors. When your CPU gets busy, the voltage can fluctuate by small amounts, and if you undervolt your CPU, you can occasionally get a gate that doesn't open, and your get a CPU doing really crazy things and some app with crash or your whole system will crash. Generally, higher speeds require higher voltage to keep your CPU stable, and less voltage at lower speeds. Imagine trying to open and shut a door really fast ... you'll need more force than just shutting the door gently.
Can I get 9hrs SOT? - Sure! See the screen shot, but here's the secret. WASTE battery power! If you have a flip-case, remove it. Take your screen timer and set it REALLY high and don't turn off your screen. Let it BURN! This will ensure that your screen is on for a really long time. Cheating? Well, yes and no. The point is that someone who is chatting on their phone over Wifi and rarely touches it, but leave the screen on while doing so will get great SOT. The guy streaming Bluetooth audio all day long and has their phone tethered to use LTE internet with a low signal will waste tons of battery and may not have the screen on at all. The 9hr screen on time was done while doing all the above, plus some web browsing using ....
Ultimate Browser - This browser is said to use less battery than Chrome and others. You can check it out and see for yourself on The Ultimate Browser XDA thread.
Themes
Many people ask about the themes pictured in the screenshots. This is the Deep Darkness Overhauled Theme but with the thinner fonts from Cosmos CM12. Just select which parts of each theme you like before clicking the Update button.
I'm now using an Add-On package for this theme that gives icons that aren't so dark. It has a cool font, too, but I don't know if I like the Cosmos or Deep Darkness Add-On better. I'm also using a compromise between the 400 DPI (real) and 480 DPI (stock) of 440 DPI. This still gives me 5 icons wide on the home screens without throwing off apps that expect stock DPI (much).

Recommended Apps
Please note that these are some of the best of the best, and most of them are not free!
Email - [email protected] Mail This is a fork of K-9, which is the Android Mutt (from Dr Who) .. mutt being a classic Unix mail program. I love Dr Who, but [email protected] was such a big improvement, I had to go with it. If you need full folder support, multiple accounts, and support for email cryptographic signing and encryption, multiple identities, and html editing of email and html signatures!
Music Player - PowerAmp - this is by the best music player I've used, bar none. If you don't want it messing with your custom lockscreen wallpaper, you can tell it not to, or add a whole second/custom lockscreen over the original. It has its own EQ, but I don't need it with Viper. To make PowerAmp compatible with Viper, simply turn off the direct volume control. You can use Xposed to add more volume steps if you like the extra control that PowerAmp's default has.
Video Player - VLC Video Lan Client Plays everything, does everything, streams videos, and has remote control apps to connect to other VLCs anywhere on your network.
QuickPic - QuickPic is a replacement for the stock Cyanogen Gallery. It works and acts much the same only its much much faster. Another good choice is Piktures, but new users may find it a bit more complicated, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as fast.
Agent - While much of what Agent does can be duplicated with other tools, the ease of use and flexibility of this tool can't be beat. It monitors your calendar for meetings and silences your phone, knows when you are driving and responds to your texts (and/or reads them to you), detects when your sleeping and makes your phone quiet (even if you sleep at different times). Has a battery saver mode, and can even remember where you parked. The Meeting agent works best if your calendar supports the "Busy" flag, which Google removed about a year ago, so ...
Today Calendar - The Today Calendar is just a really beautiful app and has some nice widgets (although I just use cLock from Cyanogen to show my calendar and make appointments via Voice commands, so I don't see Today much, I still bought it). It has the Busy flag and all sorts of features. If you want one a little less flashy (and free), try Boxer Calendar.
File Manager - The FX File Manager is by far the greatest file manager. It has everything built in, including SMB to network with Windows and SFTP to network with any machines running SSH. App Management, Media Refresh, and nice clean material design! Bloat free!
FXR Wifi Repair - Get this app and install it NOW! You will thank me the day you end up needing it!

Don't know if 10/30 needs deodex or not but if its before jgcaaps hacks you'll need the older Xposed. I have it and Ill upload it for you to my site (Eddon Systems Download Page ... link in first post). Viper is already there (look for LolliViper).
If you don't mind taking the time to do a clean flash, Aardvark is based on the 11/08 build with the Apple code. All works out of the box Dirty flash possible, but can lead to weird problems.
I'll upload Xposed v75 right now
More about me at https://eddon.systems
Ok so it is possible to run odexed version and have Xposed working? I've heard that I need deodexed version for exposed that's why I'm on 20151030.
Thanks a lot for fast response!

Deodex and Xposed
The newer builds are made in such a way that you can use them with Odex builds without problems. We even have a special "Hacked" version of Xposed that prevents the possible slowdown issues and bypassing jgcaap's ART improvements.
So yes, use Odex and new builds and preferably the "Hacked ZIP" for the framework, although normal v75 still works. Or flash Aardvark. I've got maybe a dozen Xposed modules active.
The reason you don't see newer Deodex is because they aren't needed anymore

It varies based on date and jgcaap's whim. The 11/08 builds do. I don't think any deodex builds do because he stopped making those before the Apple assembler code experiments.
Since 11/08 has it, Aardvark has it.
Bionic isn't a ROM build, its the Android low level C library to which the Apple code is being added.

Well this came around at a perfect time! I haven't been actively flashing my phone much this year and my current ROM is from July 5th lol. So I'm not really new, but could use something pre made like this. Reading, backing up, and downloading this afternoon, then flash later tonight. Thanks for putting this up.
Is the rom ok to flash on system/data/cache on f2fs ?

[UNIVERSAL] ParrotMod - SPEED UP the 2012 Nexus 7! FULL FLASH STORAGE SPEED FIX!

What is ParrotMod?
This is a mod to greatly improve the performance of the 2012 Nexus 7, on ANY rooted Android 4.3+ ROM.
It doesn't work on Nougat. I can't fix it, because I don't own this device anymore - I gave it to a friend's little brother.
Feel free to fork it and fix that.
(Got a 2013 Nexus 7? Use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...eta-1-parrotmod-improve-2013-nexus-7-t3375928)
Download:
https://parrotgeek.com/dl.php?file=ParrotMod_Universal_2016-08-31.zip
Use this one if the other one doesn't improve the speed: https://parrotgeek.com/dl.php?file=ParrotMod_Universal_2016-10-17.zip
GitHub:
https://github.com/parrotgeek1/ParrotMod_Nexus_7_2012
Feel free to fork/pull request! But always credit me if you make something based on it and tell me in a PM or email.
IMPORTANT NOTE
ParrotMod needs 8MB of free space on the system partition. Don't use huge gapps packages.
ParrotMod requires a recovery that has BusyBox built in. (All versions of TWRP do. CWM does not.)
PLEASE disable IO scheduler/RAM/read ahead tweaks in kernel apps. They override ParrotMod's meticulously optimized settings.
REQUIRES LATEST SUPERSU INSTALLED FIRST https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
EVEN IF YOUR ROM HAS BUILT IN ROOT LIKE CYANOGENMOD, TURN IT OFF IN SETTINGS, THEN FLASH SUPERSU!!
Does NOT support PHH/MagiskSU, ONLY SUPERSU
If the installer warns you about TRIM on boot being disabled, it's a good idea to schedule TRIM using an app like Trimmer, or just leave your tablet on overnight (on silent) instead of turning it off, so it can automatically trim.
You can tell if ParrotMod is working by checking if the file /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb contains "0", using a root explorer. Do NOT use ROM Toolbox or Root Browser, otherwise you will not be able to see the folders. Use Solid Explorer or FX.
Features:
FLASH MEMORY SPEED INCREASE! up to 4x better performance WITHOUT F2FS OR DYNAMIC FSYNC
Auto trim at boot, but ONLY for Samsung flash storage (it is too slow for Hynix/Kingston)
Uses ext4 but can use data/cache f2fs
Audio stutter and multitasking fix
Miracast enabled (but it freezes on disconnect unless you unplug from the receiver end)
Can set up device without Wi-Fi
Bluetooth 4.0 enabled (BLE/GATT/SMP), CVE vulnerabilities fixed (for 5.x)
More apps open at once (minfree tweak, scheduler tweaks, 64k log buffers, zram optimized)
LCD color fix (no Nvidia smartdimmer/Prism)
Internet optimizations
Can use more storage space before it doesn't let you download things
Survives ROM updates with addon.d
Tethering without carrier checks on 3G Nexus 7
Speed up full disk encryption
GPU optimizations (without OC!) and hardware acceleration properties, decrease GPU RAM usage by 4.4mb per app!
Reverted to dlmalloc for reducing ram usage / ART_USE_HSPACE_COMPACT enabled for better garbage collection [Not on 5.0.x]
Instructions - From unrooted stock 5.1.1
Download the KingRoot apk from here on your tablet, install it, ignore the warnings about the app being unsafe, and tap Root. If it says root failed, try again. It will eventually work.
Install Flashify from the Play Store
Download the latest Universal zip in the download link above on your tablet
Download the SuperSU zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable on your tablet
Open Flashify and install TWRP recovery, the latest version
Open the KingRoot app, tap Menu 3 dots icon, General settings, uninstall KingRoot
Delete the KingRoot and Purify apps
Plug your tablet into a computer! (not even a charger) otherwise it will freeze on the next step. This is a bug in the tablet itself.
Reboot your tablet while holding the power and volume down buttons. If this does not work power on while holding BOTH volume UP and DOWN.
Scroll with volume buttons to Recovery mode and tap power button
You will see a Google screen and then TeamWin logo, just wait
Tap Never show this screen again and Swipe to allow modification
Tap Install
You will see the files on your internal storage, go to Download folder
Tap on ParrotMod_XXXXXXX.zip
Tap add more zips
You will see the files on your internal storage, go to Download folder
Tap on UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip
Swipe to confirm flash
When it finishes installing tap Reboot System
Your tablet will reboot
Wait 30 seconds for the device to settle
Enjoy the improved speed! (You can delete ParrotMod_XXXXXXX.zip now)
Extras
Fix for speaker/headphone buzzing while charging: https://parrotgeek.com/dl.php?file=ParrotMod_ChargingNoiseFix.zip
Upgrade notes
It is safe to flash new ParrotMod versions without wiping data.
IF YOU UPGRADE MAJOR ANDROID VERSIONS YOU MUST WIPE SYSTEM, FLASH THE WHOLE ROM, AND REINSTALL PARROTMOD.
UPGRADING ROM BUILDS WORKS FINE! In ROMs with addon.d support, it will even keep ParrotMod installed.
Please don't use with ParrotMod:
L Speed/any other "supercharger" like tweaks. I will ignore any support requests if you use them. Most are very badly programmed/full of placebos.
Disable journaling zip (it conflicts with my script, and doesn't improve performance)
Don't limit background processes, it might even make the tablet SLOWER. As of version 2016-04-30, the installer script removes this setting from build.prop automatically.
Known Bugs
Doesn't work on most Nougat ROMs
Miracast will freeze the tablet on disconnection unless you disconnect from the TV/dongle side. This is a common Tegra issue.
The optimizations to the ART runtime do not work when Xposed is installed, and you will see reduced performance! They also don't work on 4.4.x or 5.0.x.

Thanks
Thanks to bangsergio on XDA for testing several dozen beta versions.
Thanks to @nereis for showing me a zram tweak.
How ParrotMod Works
ParrotMod works by trying to counteract the slow flash storage speed, by decreasing unnecessary reads and writes, and also optimizing how well processes share the bandwidth.
To optimize RAM, it also changes minfree values, replaces libart and libc with optimized versions (reverting to the memory allocator that was in 4.4.4), and enables zram (but in a less CPU intensive compression mode).
It also enables GPU clock scaling instead of throttling based on CPU speed, to improve performance in GPU-bound games. It also disables Nvidia PRISM adaptive backlight to fix washed out screen in videos.
It increases the CPU priority of audio players, and the hd-audio0 kernel thread, to fix sound stutter when multitasking.
Finally, it increases wifi transmit power and noise filter in nvram.txt to increase wifi range.
I also made my own patch to enable Miracast.
Looks nice :3 Sounds like a very good ROM for newbies, I'd be happy if you'd do the same ROM with the 3.4 kernel when it comes out and CM13/Android 6.0 AOSP.

Maybe if I have beta testers. The Nexus 7 is now in the hands of its (much happier) original owner. Almost all of the mods in this zip except /system/lib and mira4u apk should work M though. Also probably tilapia if you remove the assert in updater script which I will do soon
To make it even simpler for newbies, why not use Wugfresh to root from stock 5.1.1? It's so much easier than your method.

Is this a rom or a simple mod to install over stock lollipop, because the downloadable zip only has 13mb?

[This post was for a test feature which has been merged into the mod]
well this is my personal experience with this rom
coming from virgin unrooted, locked bootloader, never been into the darkside with my given by best friend nexus 7 (2012 and 16gb)
always OTA updated until 5.1.1
can't stand with lag and everythings else.
a litte bit google and found this thread.
so i factory reset my nexus
download parrot rom (saved in download folder)
download kingroot (saved in download folder too)
install es file manager from playstore, browse to download folder, install kingroot
running kingroot
download super SU
install flashify from play store
running flashify and choose recovery, choose TWRP, download and flash TWRP. after finish press back button
uninstall kingroot and purify
reboot into recovery (power off first. power on while holding BOTH volume UP and DOWN) until boot screen appear. -in firstpost say just power and vol down, well is not working for me. i have to hold both volume keys.
in TWRP recovery backup my current rom (just in case no body knows whatt would happend in the future)
after that select install
select parrot
add super SU
and waitt........
viola everything running smooth as butter. no more delay.
will stay in this rom for now.
just hoping may be in the future just add playstore. so we can download everything else we need and no redundancy.
thank you for your effort making this rom

Yes, if you open the zip and delete the contents of /system/priv-app and /system/app. Also delete any thing in the updater script that has delete(...) or delete_recursive, and the line in the patch prop.sh that has lmy47v in it. Then rezip
if you use it on marshmallow it will bootloop unless you delete libstagefright_wfd and libMira4U. But then miracast won't work
If your rom has stagefright fixed delete libstagefright_EVERYTHING-BUT-wfd.so and libutils and libcutils
I'm going to make a universal version later, sorry
EDIT: you have to flash SuperSU even if your rom includes built in su

Sorry for OT. I know this issue and I know how to resolve it. It's a problem with the flat cable of the micro USB port. With a little tear down you can resolve the problem. Take off the back cover, screw the speakers and USB board, detach flat cable and put a piece of transparent tape above it in order to make more pressure on pins. Reassemble all the components and take a look if the problem still here
Interesting.

Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it
could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
--WiFi calling is fixed. (thanks @lordodin912 . Turned out to be the defconfig after all. Netfilter/netlink )
--Built with the latest -old v6 Uber Toolchain cross-compiler (ubertc 7 is bugged, and latest v6 doesn't boot after compile)
--Kernel optimization flags added in for Uber (thanks @lordodin912 for the info on this)
--Better 3g/4g connectivity. Which should hopefully lead to less polls to satellites, and hopefully reduce battery consumption (May need to upgrade to latest bootloader and radio).
--ConservativeX governor and a few others added in
--ConservativeX is default
--ROM tweaks to init.qcom.post_boot to do the following : ensure min CPU freq is at 307mhz for all cpus, 133mhz for GPU, modified cpu_boost and other tunables for bettery battery usage, other small tweaks.
--GPU gov set to simple_ondemand by default
--Many TCP congestion algorithms enabled, westwood+ is default, and recommended.
--Small tweak to ZEN_DECISION hotplug
More things fixed/tuned
*testing* AutoSMP hotplug added to kernel. (idk wtf it is though--likely not working)
--Force current charge. Ability to override charging rate. Might set to max rate (1500mAh) by default. This means your cable+charge combo will charge as fast as it can.
6.5 will not force wipe, but if you have bugs with wifi calling, texting, or rootswitch freezing, this is an indication you have to do a Factory Reset within recovery.
Wifi calling fixed, sms fixed. No bugs that I can find.
You can turn off WiFi while on a WiFi call also. It will stay connected and switch to 4g. First connection may take up to 10 seconds, but it's just the first time.
Your phone will be very slow for the initial setup. Once you finish setting up your email, and fingerprint and all that, reboot your device.
If you have factory reset, you will need to update Google Assistant, and Google Play Services. Both of those updates can be done from opening Google Assistant. She won't work until these are installed/updated. SafetyNet bypass also requires Google Play Services, so just be sure to have all updates installed from play store.
LG Music is back in. I added back in the LG update center and the weather lockscreen thing, but they doesn't show up. I'll make a separate zip that works later in the future. For now, you can download smartworld and other things from LGs website.
One more thing, once your battery goes down to 10%, your phone will slow down and be as conservative as possible. I don't believe at 10% anyone will be worried about a smooth experience, but rather that their phone can last them enough time (it will!!). The savings is even greater if you enable Battery Saver at 15%.
Here is v6.5--perfected
You don't have to wipe anything.
However, if you get one of the following bugs, you will have to factory reset in recovery:
**Rootswitch disable freezes phone
**SMS dont always send, or won't send with root disabled
**No call connection or sound when calling after disabling wifi
**Literally any other bug
Development for NSS H918 will come to a halt as of 6.5, as I need to make an update for the other carriers. Additionally, IRL will be taking over for a month or two.
========================================================
Sidebar:
Here is the 6.5 kernel. Note : this is not an update for v6.0, this is only a kernel to be used on other ROMs.
v6 info below
(old in from previous update)
v6 NSS ROM has been rebased on the latest build from LG (10j). The kernel for v6 has also been built from source from the 10j sources. If you want the stock source for 10j kernel download it frmo my thread in the dev section. The one release by LG does not work as-is. I had to go through it and fix multiple errors preventing compile.
v6 WILL wipe your phone. All your apps, settings, games, and save states will be erased! This will not wipe your SD card, nor internal storage.
v6 is heavily debloated. ROM size is a mere 1.06 GB.
There is no kernel-only zip for v6, nor will there be.
I am also not releasing a way to flash v6 without wiping. The wipe is intended to clear any corrupted caches and/or other issues.
In v6, everything you need to pass SafetyNet is already included. Just disable root with Rootswitch, and you can play Pokemon Go, use Android Pay, and any other app that uses Google SafetyNet.
This ROM and kernel have been heavily modified for speed, stability, and battery.
I have changed the default CPU governor to Bioshock.
Here are some changes for v6
v6 will wipe your data!
Based off LGs latest build (V10j). Comes with matching kernel from 10j as well.
Kernel optimizations to the cpu. CPU ramps down quicker, is more conservative (probably best if you leave CPU settings as they come).
Cancun and triton disabled. Triton removed entirely.
Core Control Helper disabled.
New governors have been added! The default governor is now Bioshock.
You have a choice from ElementalX, Despair, Darkness, Alucard, Wheatley, blu_active, uhh prob 1 or 2 others. Note that not all governors are optimized for this chipset and may cause high CPU usage. Bioshock and blu_active work great! Note that the Darkness driver is outdated. Alucard24 did update it a few days ago, but for now, I don't recommend the Darkness driver.
V6 WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE EVERY TIME YOU FLASH IT!
This new version is going to WIPE your PHONE! This means that your apps, save states for games, games, and custom settings will be deleted.
You can backup your call logs and text+mms messages. My favorite app is called SMS Backup and Restore (by Carbonite).
If you have games and/or apps that you have to backup, you can use Titanium Backup. DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APPS! Basically if the app is not white in the Titanium Backup list, do not back it up. If it is green, or red, do not back it up, and certainly don't restore it on the new ROM!!!
ROM is much smaller now. ZIP is only 1.06GB. Lots more stuff ripped out of it. Shouldn't download new stock updates either. Will post a full debloat list tomorrow. No features were harmed in the making of this ROM.
I personally prefer to just use Google Assistant for pretty much everything, including Weather and Weather notifications. So the LG Weather has been removed.
I have 2 rebloat zips.
The LG only zip restores LG Weather, LE QMemoPlus (quickcapture), LG Music, and LG Update center.
The full rebloat zip restores everything minus carrier spyware, and lookout. I do not recommend flashing the full rebloat zip, and if you must, be sure to open the ZIP and delete anything out of it you do not specifically want to re-add. Don't flash the whole 450MB zip just to get LG Backup or something like that.
Phone likes to sleep, sometimes it goes hours without dropping 1%... It's weird... Idk .
Remember, if you don't use NFC, turn it off and save a little extra battery.
Also, phone does not have OK Google....
It only has Google Assistant . She is really awesome! It does not identify as a Pixel either.
Here is the link to v6. It will wipe your phone any time that you flash it! Note that the .ZIP says (fixed). This is because it already includes the fix for WiFi calling, SMS, and hotspot. I used some of the active members as guinea pigs, sue me
So once you flash your phone, just wait... It will take a long time. Once it boots, it will ask for your SIM card. Just wait a minute, and it will come on.
Go through the initial setup, make sure to give Color Control and Rootswitch SU access when prompted (will be really early, if you miss it just open SuperSU app and force grant permission).
Once you finish initial setup with fingerprint and all that stuff let it download whatever Google Play apps it finds, then get to your home screen and reboot the phone to complete setup.
Note, you must manually install Google Play Services. If you hold your Home button, it will activate Google Assistant (same as before with OK Google), and it will get a Services download.
Also, be sure to open Maps, it too will ask you to do a Google Play Services download.
If SafetyNet fails, you do not have Google Play Services, or you forgot to disable root.
SafetyNet passes root check, and unlocked bootloader check.
Here is everything that was ripped out of the ROM
Here is a ZIP to restore some of the removed LG apps on v6 for the 10j build.
This only includes
LG Music app + widget
LG Weather + everything related to it
LG Qmemoplus
LG UpdateCenter

Below is just old info from previous ROMs.
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR4
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Built-in DNS Ad-blocking
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Latest: v5.5
If you are already on v5.1,here is the 5.5 update. This is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol) **added assertive display which should help draw less power with screen on (not sure if it is actually working, but meh it's in there)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Can confirm Pokemon GO and Android Pay work perfectly. Just need to hide root.
Use the app attached.
Checkmark where it says "Stop all su daemons"
Reboot
Open RootSwitch again, and the checkmark should still be there, click disable root, and test with an app called SafetyNet Helper Sample from Play Store. When root is disabled, SafetyNet test will pass with a full green screen.
When you are done playing, you can enable root again. The game checks every so often, so root needs to be disabled to play for X amount of time.
Here are the changes for v5.1:
The only change in v5.1 that it has my updated kernel. It had previously been giving bugs to random people in bluetooth. Also, FM radio was broken. I am happy to announce that as of 5.1, all functions are in full working order, and there should be nothing else wrong in the ROM.
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Rebased ROM to a full system dump. Major thanks to @NotATreoFan ! His intuition was quite helpful. This should fix issues with WiFi calling, and other odd bugs that have been creeping about.
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Fully debloated. Thanks again to NATF for pointing out the files that were installing the last bit of carrier-based bloat (amazon, facebook stub installer, etc).
**Updated to latest Super SU
**Other things here and there to try and fix bugs.
**Oh, the FM module from the original ROM was also restored. This, in conjunction with the files retrieved from NATF's full dump, should fix FM!
**If you have issues on your phone, and are trying to fix them, I recommend you do a clean install.
**However, if your phone is fine and you have had no issues, you can go ahead and just dirty flash.
No need to wipe anything. The only people who had to or need to wipe, are those on my v2.0 ROM. If you are on any version below or higher (including 2.1) you do not need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 64
Value 127
Contrast 129
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!
REBLOAT
If you want to add in things I removed, flash this. It will include all apps that were removed. You can open the ZIP and simply delete anything inside the system folder that you don't want before you flash it.

Thanks to @jcadduono for the amazing original source he made for us ( you can find it here : https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_lge_msm8996/tree/android-7.0-security
Few minutes you say. Well I shall be one of the first to try it ^.^
Thanks for the hard work*.

Sorry, I noticed I missed 2 lines of scripts after I started upload. I just now started the proper upload. ETA is 15m from now.
I'll be the third to try this ... This is awesome ! Thanks dude ???

thank you so much for this. now i am using your stock deodexd rom and what will be the proper way to install this over it? is it possible for you to put up the step by step instruction on how to install this rom in op?
thanks!

Yea I'll add something to the OP tomorrow.
You can flash this without any other steps. Just copy to phone, boot to TWRP, flash. Everything else is taken care of.

Ok I'll try again later. Oh, I thought you were a different person lol.
I did try the steps in your OP. I also baked in all the files, and set all permissions accordingly with the updater script. No matter what, It always tells me that the Driver must be installed. Upon trying to install, it says IO Error. Even though root is on, and System is R/W. /shrug
I am assuming just bout to recovery and flash?
Is there any way to disable the sound mod if I wanted to?
Thank you Tilde88 for your hard work. Thats really awesome to have ROM like that.
Do you think you can also add:
1. boot animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-android-7-0-boot-shutdown-t3499524
2. 2nd screen flash on new text: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/2nd-screen-flash-text-message-tasker-t3490220
3. Also change emoji to samsung ones. Those from LG are terrible. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/aroma-1-click-emoji-changer-10-to-pick-t3499517
4. Ad blocker is the same as Ad away? I wish we could get rid of adds from apps.
Thank you again
What's the difference between this rom and the other one that you posted? This one just has mods baked in?
Can you dirty flash this over stock ROM

[H910 (AT&T)][ROM + Kernel] NRD90M Modded NotSoStock ROM v5.5 1/1/2017

Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.

Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Latest: v5.1 combined with v5.5
v5.5 is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup. 5.5 is an update only! You must first flash 5.1, then 5.5. You can tell TWRP to flash files in sequence, so it's no hassle. ZIP no longer checks your device, so be sure that you are flashing for the model the sticker on the phone says that it is.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you might be able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and perhaps apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what.
Used more independent defconfig lines, hopefully static will go away... I highly doubt it, might even cause a no-boot issue. If it does, just tell me and I'll fix it up.
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Updated to latest Super SU
If the ROM won't flash because it says you have the wrong device
This is likely due to the conversion thing you guys had to do to root. I don't have the AT&T device and I don't know about that conversion thing. To bypass it, open the ZIP, go into META-INF/com/google/android and delete only the file called updater-script. Replaced it with this one
No need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 68
Value 129
Contrast 127
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Having issues? Read below.
I need you guys to hear me out on this...
I do not have this phone, I cannot do any sort of testing, nor do I keep up with your rooting method.
That said, I cannot fix things that were broken due to the bootloader (such as Static Boot), so if WiFi calling did not work for you after flashing the custom bootloader, please don't ask if it is fixed... I do not know how to fix it. When/if it is fixed, I will let you guys know that it is fixed and who to thank for said fix.
Additionally, I need you to tell me things that do not work. I might not be able to get to all messages, or questions, so if you see that I did not reply, ask again and again until I do... I will reply and answer (obviously don't spam). Be sure to quote me, mention me, or message me. I do not check-in with these threads, just the H918 thread. If you do not send me a notice, I will not know that my attention is needed.
What issues that are ROM-related, not user-related can you report? You will know it is user-related if you modified anything in the phone/ROM.
If you flashed a different kernel, I cannot help you; flash back to the NSS kernel, and re-test.
If you are unsure about an issue, do a clean flash (in TWRP: Wipe-->Advanced-->select Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE OR SDCARD)-->Swipe to wipe-->Install ROM-->boot phone, do not change or install anything. Retry your issue, if it is fixed, great. If it persists, go into your SD Card, and Internal Storage, remove the folders called "Android" and ".android_secure", reboot and try again. Still doesn't work? Mention me and post it here.
Remember, you can backup your USER apps in Titanium Backup (do NOT backup system apps, or restore system apps/system data).
You can also backup your existing setup and apps in TWRP so you can flash back to your original setup. This is good if you did a clean flash, and your problem is still there, you can restore your backup and be like nothing was changed.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!

Everything is still working great! Thanks again @Tilde88. Those color settings are awesome, too. Much better than stock!
Glad to see this! Trying now..
UPDATE: Runs pretty smooth. Thanks again!
Yeah it worked perfectly now after replacing the updater-script (correctly). Thanks for doing this! My only request is just on adding the advanced power menu options such as reboot to recovery/bootloader Other than that - its perfect.

I second this! Advanced power menu with recovery/bootloader reboot would be great. I use ROM Toolbox Pro to boot into recovery as it is now.
Also, would like to put GApps Pico with the ability to add any extra Google features as necessary. I pretty much just use the play store and some services. I like minimal Google services and apps on my phone. For example, I use Waze instead of Google Maps, and I use Gmail, but not the app. I use a different email app but I cannot delete Maps or Gmail since they are system apps, just disable them and their services. I don't use OK Google, Google Now, Hangouts, etc... There are a lot more examples like this.

You can delete system apps by using a program such as Titanium Backup. You can also backup your apps, and restore them on other ROMs. Don't backup system apps, just user apps.
I recommend the Pro version of Titanium; I bought it years ago, and still use it today. One of, if not the actual best, backup/restore program.
With pro you can do batch files, instead of 1by1. Also good for games to save their current state.

Titanium Backup is great! I have the pro version as well and use it constantly. I guess I'm not really concerned with the apps taking up space, rather just starting with the bare minimum of necessary things and adding what is needed afterward. But I usually freeze the apps just to avoid any possible issues with deleting. Another app that is just as great is ROM Toolbox Pro. Their App Manager and Auto Start Manager have advanced freeze functions that show you every single activity, receiver, and service attached to each app and gives you full functionality over them.
@nikktrikk @twistedvip or anyone else that wants to test.
@me2151 has given me a new defconfig for the kernel which might fix the static boot thing. Can anyone try it out for me please? It can be found here. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Just flashed on my H910. Unfortunately, it still gave me the static screen upon reboot.
EDIT: It also seems to have made the phone very laggy compared to your original custom ROM.

Everything is still running great. Much better battery life than stock! Just wanted to let you know, the only thing I have found that is missing is the Screen Capture feature. On the stock AT&T ROM, it is included in the pull down menu from the top, but it is not here at all in the custom ROM. If you navigate to Settings>Display>Home touch buttons>Button combinations, you can actually see the capture icon used as an example in the help section in the bottom half of the screen showing how to rearrange the buttons. The center button shows the capture button icon, but that button is not an available button to choose from when actually rearranging the Home touch buttons.

Its also on the second screen and is very handy and much faster. I know for me my case is of some crap rubber amd hard to hit both at the same time
Got the error that I'm not a 910. Tried swapping the update script to bypass the check, but now get an error that the update binary is missing while trying to flash it. Went to check and it is still the in the zip however. Did I miss something obvious?

Sounds like you broke the ZIP. Don't modify it on your phone. copy the ZIP to your PC (don't open it from internal storage). Well, since it's broken now, download it again. When it's done downloading, open the ZIP on your PC, remove only the updater-script file, and once you have only the update-binary, re-add the updater-script.
I made a copy before I modded it. I'll try your approach and give it another go. Thanks!

Still getting bluetooth shutting off randomly.
I flashed this using no wipe, as in instructions...on Dirty Santa AT&T rooted phone. Bluetooth STILL is completely annoying and disconnects whenever it feels like it. Even Bluetooth Auto Connect and Bluetooth Keep Alive are of no use as fixes. Any ideas??? Should I wipe and just flash your rom to clear up any bugs??
[EDIT] I JUST WIPED AND FLASHED...WILL POST RESULTS!!!!!
Thanks for your awesome work and thank you for your time!!!!

[US996][ROM + Kernel] NRD90M Modded NotSoStock ROM v5.5 1/5/2017

Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG. This is for phone models US-996 (only flash this if the sticker on your phone says US-996. There is already a ROM for the H910, H918, and VS996 that I've made, use that instead if your device is different).
I have added a few mods to it.
I still need the Sprint system.img and boot.img, as well as for the Korean F800L, if you can get me those files, I can build for you.
FEATURES
**Multi-user working!
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR5
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Thanks to @imucarmen for getting me the IMG files, and for testing. whoops, thats from a different thread
Latest: v5.1 combined with v5.5
v5.5 is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup. 5.5 is an update only! You must first flash 5.1, then 5.5. You can tell TWRP to flash files in sequence, so it's no hassle. ZIP no longer checks your device, so be sure that you are flashing for the model the sticker on the phone says that it is.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you might be able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and perhaps apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what.
Used more independent defconfig lines, hopefully static will go away... I highly doubt it, might even cause a no-boot issue. If it does, just tell me and I'll fix it up.
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot.

He needs someone with the stock sprint rom to give him the system.img and the boot.img
Without those files, he can't do anything.
I'm guessing that it will fix HD calling, ## codes, wi-fi calling, FM and PRL updating.
Can someone please be kind enough to remind an old school n00b how to get to recovery please? I had my US996 rooted using the @jcadduono method if that makes a difference. But I seem to have forgotten the key combination/sequence to reboot in recovery.
On that note, just to be clear, this modded ROM can be flashed on top of @jcadduono rooted stock ROM without any other steps? (of course I'll be sure to check my TWRP version first)

On that note, just to be clear, this modded ROM can be flashed on top of @jcadduono rooted stock ROM without any other steps? (of course I'll be sure to check my TWRP version first)

Are you rooted? Just download a reboot app that will give you a recovery option.

OK that sounds simple enough. So basically that's it? I download this, reboot in recovery, flash and viola? Sorry, I came to LG from years of Samsung, so this has been a somewhat anxiety-inducing learning experience for me so far--haven't bricked, boot-looped, etc yet and trying to keep it that way if possible lol

That's the long and short of it! As long as you're sure you have the US996 variant. Tilde88 made this super easy to flash and I've seen a big improvement so far!

The button combo (which is important to know for any phone when rooting because what if you can't boot into the ROM?) is volume down + power and when you see the LG logo release power for a moment and repress and hold it until you see a white screen with a yes or no question. Answer yes to both questions and you'll be in TWRP. It will not factory reset you when you have TWRP installed.
