Hello. Here are the applications that work for our Lg G Pro 2.
Just follow these steps:
1. Copy into system/priv-apps all G3 apps
- LGAlarmClockG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGContacts_signedGpro2.apk
- LGContactsProvider_signedGpro2.apk
- LGFavouriteContactsWidgetG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGGalleryG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LgMusicG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LgMusicWidgetG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGCalendarG3_signed_signedGpro2.apk will be installed as a normal apk , after you delete LGCalendar.apk and LgCalendar.odex from system/priv-app.
2. Delete old items from system/priv-app using a manager (i use root explorer)
- LGAlarmClock.apk
- LGAlarmClock.odex
- LGCalendar.apk
- LGCalendar.odex
- LGContacts.apk
- LGContacts.odex
- LGContactsProvider.apk
- LGContactsProvider.odex
- LGFavouriteContactsWidget.apk
- LGFavouriteContactsWidget.odex
- LGGallery.apk
- LGGallery.odex
- LGMusic.apk
- LGMusic.odex
- LGMusicWidget.apk
- LGMusicWidget.odex
3. Set permissions to rw-r-r
4. Change owner to root (if neccesary)
5. Reboot the phone and enjoy
Known issues
- The statusbar color inside these applications is black (for now) ... i have hope that there will be a way to fix that (i'm already collaborating with the XDA member UserXP_ and he will try to fix this)
- The callendar works only if it's installed as a normal apk (after you deleted the old app from system/priv-app )
- The LgMessage.apk isn't working yet, UserXP_ it's trying to fix the bugs.
- This is what we have for now.. maybe we will get more apps in the future. If anyone else have more, post in this thread. Many thanks

Extra info and Credits
This port was possible only with the generous help of the great XDA member UserXP_ , so all thanks and credits must go his way. I'm only glad i can share his work with the rest G Pro 2 owners(i hope this community will grow up someday). I am sure that people who will use this apps can at least go at his main topic here and hit thanks. These apps will probably work with any 4.4.2 stock rom , i tried on v10b Hong Kong(be careful , i'm almost sure these apps won't work on other devices , so don't try or try at your own risk ,and don't try the apps from UserXP_'s topic , they won't work on our device). The preliminary result it's in the atachments.
Works perfect
Thank you guys
Can't wait for status bar color
And more apps?
Works perfectly too thanks you
New Gallery is nice. Thanks.
Very good.

G3 apps
Hi, is it possible for you to share other G3 apps like QTheatre or QTranslate? I saw some custom ROMs have them included. Thanks for answering.
Hello. I don't know. You may ask UserXP_ since he is porting a lot of apps from g3 and he helped with g pro 2 apps.

Yes sir! I did try those steps. But they dont seem to work. On the reboot it says preparing new apps but still nothing works. I tried to restore the backup of the apps into system\priv-apps folder but even they dont work now.
I just am trying to replace the default LG phone and contacts app. But unable to.
If you can't restore your files, in this program LG Phone From you will find link with .kdz for your phone. Download .kdz to your PC and use LG Flash tool 2014 to flash your phone. Use "Normal flash", not "CSE flash". About 3 minutes and you have stock phone. Root it again with Stump root and try those steps in first post of this topic. But you need to delete both .apk and .odex files.
10 minutes of work and done.
I dare not do this thing, it will crash my phone.
I am not responsible for flash this ROM, do it at your own risk!!
Hi, I found this LP ROM on vietnam web site if you are interested. I did not make the Rom, all credits go to the developer.
It got some nice features like theme G5, S7, LG home. UI is mix G4+G5, Audio come with Viper4AndroidFX + ExtremeMusic AudioFx. The web site is in vietnamese if you want to read you can use Google translate.
Vietnamese Tread link, you should look under section: A. LOLLIPOP_END, I think the rom based on D83820c firmware.

Awesome ROM. Very fast. Slim navigation bar enabling maximum usable display. Pre-rooted with SuperSU. Only what I dont like is the blue color of its notification panel. All else is great.
Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I used LOLLIPOP END MINI ROM from the different ones mentioned. And another brilliant thing about it is its inbuilt Samsung S7 theme!! Attaching screenshots...
LITE ROMLite ROM is my first ever ROM project with many help from @sujisurjithshankar there is no big changes in this ROM graphically instead some of the best features that I could get is added into this ROM im just a normal college student who happens to use C7pro
UPDATES AND ROM GUIDE
Updates in this ROM will be as I get any new stuff that are worth adding for like edge features and all. There is no specific reason for the name LITE ROM it just came to my mind and I named it
As per the update comes the naming of the ROM version will be in the following format
vr-<month number>dot<date>BUILD<number of times I made that ROM in that day>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This idea was mainly combination of how substratum engine version are named + Linux Ubuntu version naming
PREREQUISITE
Any idea about ROM flashing
Ready to wipe phone now and then if u make mistakes with magisk or xposed
FYI
LITE ROM is won't be updated now and then
Tried to decrease the size of ROM to the minimum and 1.5 was all I could get
If ur expecting many features this is not the ROM
Changelog:
Onedot27BUILD3
force encryption removed by default
root by magisk 15.3 dont expect supersu
added all those things i could do with kitchen tool
floating feature mods by surji
AOD multiple options
speed meter in status bar
and few more things and thats it...
INSTALLATION
Enter into recovery
Wipe everything with advanced wipe select all except external and otg
go back to home and click install
select rom file and then flash it
Reboot
Screenshots in post 2
Haven't made ROM logo nor changed ROM name in settings next update I can fix that
If u see any error in twrp just wipe everything and reboot recovery
Thumbs up is appreciated

@phenodev Great work my friend ! And Thank you for Mentioning me.
Dear C7 Pro ians... Please try this ROM. After all, don't expect much as a custom ROM. Main Focus is the smoothness and speed of ROM.
DEBLOATED : Makes ROM more Lite
DEKNOXED : Security issues and restrictions removed.
DEODEXED : The thing u need. U can flash any stuff u need. No
bootloops.
If do something wrong with the ROM zip and u mess up your phone, the developers aren't the cause. Point to yourselves.
And... Don't ask a dev for the time for next release.....
I think u all will be just happy with this ROM.
Thanks everyone. ??????

Any chance to install google camera ported in c7 pro
Is there any chance of porting aosp pie rom or stock tw rom ?
I wish man I'm not the dev actually aosp related is done by Aapav he is busy with his work and so I have no big hopes for anything like that and even if aosp comes there won't be volte too so that's a bummer and btw after Oreo update this project is kinda dead cuz I did all my research to mod Oreo but none works so....that's that
Thank you very much. This ROM perfectly resurrected my phone C7010. After upgrading to Android 8.0, my phone boot loop on the Samsung logo. I thought the motherboard was broken and almost gave up until I saw this post. I try it out, it really works on my phone and the charging problem was fixed.

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.

Dear Forum members,
I have lineae 15.1 on my Samsung S2 GT-19100 Running Oreo 8.1.0.
WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community
Tim

Looking at Whatsapp's FAQ it seems like Whatsapp doesn't support custom roms and/or rooted devices. And if I understood your question right, you are currently running Lineage OS. So I would think your best hope would be finding an mod that supports rooted/custom rom devices or modding the app yourself.
If my answer helped you please upvote it to show your appreciation,
Jamie
Did you download that apk from the WhatsApp official website? Is it the latest version, v2.21.23.17 or later?
The common prompt 'the date is wrong' means that the version you are using is too old.
The version I installed is 2.18.92...

Your question got answered by WhatsApp themselves:

Try using the latest WhatsApp apk from apkmirror. I think it has more to do with the version you have installed. WhatsApp tends to disable the old APKs.
Also, although they say they don't support custom roms, it's just a pop-up that says you may face issues because you are on a custom rom which you can just click 'ok' and move forward.

Dear Forum members,
I have lineae 15.1 on my Samsung S2 GT-19100 Running Oreo 8.1.0.
WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community

Get the lastest apk of v2.21.23.25 from the WhatsApp official website or update it through Google Play Store at first.
I loaded the latest version and it restored all my conversations and content. What a refreshing simple answer ! So easy..
I was assuming all sorts of mismatches but it worked a treat. Usually I avoid the lates versions because of matching issues.
Thanks for the guidance, I should have spotted that myself.. ! Enjoy your day.
