Lg Optimus G Pro STOCK Android

Hello,
I see a lot of work being done in Original Android Development and that is really exacting to see!
I'm planing to buy a new smartphone and I was waiting to see what the Note 3 has to bring to the table, and I don't think we need 3gb of ram in any near future, and Super Amoled on Note 3 is pentile.
So for me there are only 2 options Note II or G Pro. I really like the G Pro because of Full HD screen, 13mpx camera, and Snapdragon 600 processor.
No matter what phone will I buy I will install custom rom on it (Pure Android AOSP, cm10.1 / 2...)
Now I have one question for you and one request;
Do you believe that G Pro will get fully stable 4.3 rom, and as far as the roms are at the moment are they fluid, and fast? I would totally buy Nexus device but it has to small screen for me, so speed and fluidity is a factor for me. Note II has Exynos processor but we all know how is Samsung with the source release, they just don't release it so the Note II will newer get used to the full potential...
How is LG in that department?
And I have one request. Can someone make a video of any pure Android based rom running on G Pro, so i can see that phone in action?
Thank you from hope to be soon user of G Pro!

even when I'm typing this, we're already having SlimBean 4.3 Beta. that's we can stay pretty stable. But what version u gonna buy? that's the big question. Development is in quicker pace fro E980 version, but the pace is still very slow (or can I say no go) for other variants such as E988. So, check out which version is compatible with the carrier you're using, and how many custom roms available for that version of handset. just my 2 cents

[Q] Which LG Optimus G has 8MP camera?

I'm confused on which one has the 8MP camera, I've been told it's E973 (Canada?) one before. I plan to port the LG Optimus G stock ROM to the Nexus 4 when 4.2.2 comes out. Any help is appreciated.

Also if anyone has a stock ICS and stock 4.1.2 from the 8 MP model that would be helpful as well o.o

As for firmware,only canadian and korean models came with ICS. You can figure out the rest. For such an active member of this community....no comment.

To buy or not to buy Pro 8.4

I'm shopping for a 8" tablet. I'm considering either Samsung pro 8.4 or LG Pad 8.3 google play edition.
It seems that the 8.4 Pro stock ROM is sluggish compared with a google play edition LG G Pad 8.3. Will installing debloated ROM make Pro 8.4 as fast as LG G 8.3? Or its about high screen resolution on Samsung where customized ROMs can only help a little bit?

if you looking for pro8 , why not Samsung Tab S ?
Im using Tab Pro8, it works great, didn't flash any custom rom, just get root and install greenify, system tuner etc , i can del what i want even app in rom after root (Deboat), so it works very great. Of course it still can't compare with Note3 ( I swapped Note3 to TabPro this year) , i feel like just a bit slower while swapping apps. But, I like the menu button change, and installed GMD for faster app switching

I have the Tab S 8.4 unrooted with stock ROM and I bought my girlfriend the 8.4 Pro and immediately installed Cyanogenmod 11 M9 on it. The Tab Pro is much, much smoother. I don't know about gaming but for general surfing, reading and videos the CM11 is definitely fast enough. I just wish it was also available for my Tab S so I could get rid of the Touchwiz lagfest because the Amoled screen in the Tab S blows away the Tab Pro.

I bought it 250 euros. for that price there is no competition. on the other hand there must be a reason that in 6 months it went down to 250 from 450...!
so far it is great but - yes there is a but... - it feels like it begs you to flash the "samsung" out of it...
so you will get a great tablet either way, which you can root or flash and make it awesome

The gpad 8.3 has two disadvantages over the Samsung tablets (pro or s)
- display. The display is arguably the most important tablet component -good tablet or bad, you'll be looking at that display! The gpad had a very disappointing display. Much dimmer than Samsung and the colors were a lot worse to my eye. Definitely compare them side by side before making a choice.
- the infrared remote: Samsung lets other developers make apps that work with the IR. The gpad, at least when I had it shortly after release, could not be accessed by most IR apps. That was down to its use of a proprietary, encrypted signal channel as I understand it.
I don't like Touchwiz, so I don't run it. You can run another launcher and do much better on feel of the UI, or you can go whole hog and install CM11 - the build for the device is quite good and is beginning to do very nice things for battery life.
The upside for the gpad is that it's going to get official releases of updates much faster than the pro or s series Samsung tabs will.
For me, the benefits of the Samsung are well worth it.

Where did you get it for 250 eur?

Defenitly go for Samsung's 8.4, i've heard really bad recensions about LG's 8 inch tablets .
There is cyanogenmod and slimkat available for Pro 8.4 and they are working lovely.
Sound system is incredible on Pro 8.4, screen resolution is beautiful.

Haven't tried the LG tablet, so I couldn't compare the two. But to me, all the sluggishness was within the TouchWiz launcher (going between home screens, app drawer, etc.). Going to a CM-based ROM, the tablet feels very smooth to me.

Its just the way it is with Android tablets. The masses are drawn to the cheaper devices, and the higher end tablets really don't sell much, and drop price quickly. Although I am glad the higher end Android tablets are being offered. It was pretty bad, for a while there wasn't anything but feature gimped cheap tablets in the smaller 7-8 inch form factor.

Look at the release date for each tablet - I'd personally go with the newer

Do you care about the physical home button? That was a contributing factor to my Tab Pro purchase.

Calling all my fellow "phone junkies"!

I currently have the LG G3 and I'm wanting the note 4. I need to here from the one's that have left the g3 for the n4. Is it worth it? Do you think I will regret not waiting for the g4?

I had a GS 3 for about 2 or 3 years and I really loved it. I especially love my Note 4 even though it doesn't have root. Still hoping!

I think he is talking about LG G3 not Galaxy S3

My wife went from lg g3 to the note 4 and she says there's nothing she misses about the g3 that the note doesn't have...get the Note 4, you won't regret it.

Back volume buttons slightly smaller....and root Note 4 not enough of an upgrade I am waiting for the G4

Wat size do you think the G4 will be? I've seen a possible 5'3 and then I've seen a possible 5'7.

I would imagine it would stay at least the 5.5 of the G3.

[Q] LG Optimus G E970 vs LG Leon LTE

Hello xdavelopers. I have a big question about these cellphones.
So, i was looking for a Optimus G E970 but now i see the New LG Leon LTE and is very modern. Which one would you recommend and why? Compare the years, Optimus G released 2012, LG Leon 2015 april. What do you say about this or what is your opinion. Thanks so much for reading and hope your for your help!

I own the leon. It's a great phone. Stock scores a 22000 benchmark on antutu. (Which is very good for a lowend phone.)
Lollipop and cache surviving reboots make it snappy. Battery is meh, but we have root and twrp.
