Bump! - Unlock your LG G3 with TWRP! (ATT) | AT&T LG G3 | XDA Forums

AWESOME!!! Cant wait for stock android

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully incoming ROMs will preserve the tap to wake/sleep functionality. That'd probably be the one thing I'd miss the most.

Edit: Also, I'll probably wait for the ROMs to roll in before partaking in this endeavor.

Yup, same here! I'm happy with stock now but when the right time comes along, I'll make my way to XDA like I usually do.

I've already downloaded it and set it up via the Terminal Emulator. You can boot directly into TWRP from the 4-way reboot menu from G3TweaksBox!

Excellent. So I don't have to use my computer then! I'm just waiting for Roms before I root.

Just don't take any OTA before then.
An update could close the hole.

I have a T-Mobile G3... which was unlocked out of the box... there are a few test ROMs out there and at least one of them has the dt2w function working in the kernel they built into the ROM. I'm sure that most, if not all, will end up including that feature. The tap to sleep won't be much of an issue either.

That's very good to hear. Thanks for the info.

DT2W is built into the kernel, so as long as you use the stock, or stock-based, kernel, that should work. Double tap to turn off the screen is in the stock launcher, and doesn't work even with the stock ROM and Nova launcher or GEL. But you can simulate it with Nova.

By itself is doesn't add any extra settings, other than being able to do a nandroid (full image backup) of your device. But it opens up the phone to custom ROMs, the ability to flash various kinds of patches and mods that can add extra settings or capabilities, improve performance and more.

Just done it via flashify much easier than the adb & computer option.

Terminal emulator.

Terminal emulator.

I prefer the terminal emulator. So easy to mess something up with Flashify if you're not paying attention.

It was easy just down load the correct file, download flashify, open flashify select recovery and then your file, flash & job done
