my second question (just out of curiosity) can you turn off the capacitive buttons ? so they dont light up at all ?

About what is the model your question?
Optimus G have many models like: 970,971,972,973 or docomo(japan,australian,korean).
I think for all models u can find stock roms and to any JB Roms.

They are working on 4.2 AOSP and CyanogenMod 10.1. The Koreans are already on Jellybean. Team Nocturnal is also doing work on stock android roms. There was a problem with the LGOG having the older kernel then the N4, but it has recently been resolved after the Koreans got the new kernel. So now development is very fast and roms are being ported from the n4 as well.

Hi Guys/Gals
How would one go about upgrading the software of the Docomo LG Optimus G L-01E from the stock standard rubbish it will come with ie 4.0 Ice Cream with skin to the latest clean 4.1 version?
Note that the Korean and Japanese versions of the Optimus G do have differences vs other international models including built in one seg TV antenna.
Im assuming cyanogenmod would not be an option.
Im hoping the bootloader will be unlocked as I remember reading somewhere that Docomo will not lock its bootloaders or the phones (to a network) any longer in 2012???
Thanks
mmmm beautiful beast
Loving it!
Now how do I get rid of all this clutter and up it to latest JB rom without losing functions? eg tv, nfc, infrared etc?
also is there an app that can do the LG tweaked features eg voice shutter, multi shot, video PIP and transparency etc?
I'd love to know as well before I buy one myself ! Have you found anything yet ?
I have this same version on its way to me now, does it fly like the wind? What are your initial thoughts?

This thing FLYS.
I have the phone, and the quad core and better GPU definitely make this phone run buttery smooth.
It also has an amazing screen with a nice, crisp, display.
Its a 10/10 in my opinion.

no official JB release for Optimus G until December.
http:// www.engadget.com/2012/10/15/lg-outs-jelly-bean-update-itinerary-for-korea/ <remove space>
dude..being someone who already has this(mine will be next week) what are your thoughts/opinions about this phone? by buying it..hav i made the right decision? i mean, compared with the other variants ofcourse
Overall its a fantastic phone. What else can I say?
All phones have mods and cons. Biggest con for me so far is waiting for a rooting method and JB rom so I can wipe all the docomo crap and have a clean updated rom etc.
Youll receive 4.1 some day as official Docomo update.
But im afraid you wont be able to get cm10 or 4.2 cause the L-01E really differs from other versions, as owners says, even the optimus g root patch doesnt work on it. Also its just rare outside of japan.
So you should compile the custom rom by yourself
yeah Im hoping there is enough users of the phone here to be able to do it. Maybe there is a japanese forum that has already done it?
I would have no clue as to how to do it.
Im assuming though that it shouldnt be very difficult and would probably require saving of drivers that are specific to this model and might not be included in standard JB.
hope someone help to root it soon
will get my device soon
can't wait enjoying it

When LG release a firmware, they release a firmware, not just an android update.
Try installing CM10.1 after flashing LG 4.1.2 firmware and you ll see a big difference on battery consumption.
I get 6h of web browsing instead of 4h with the same CM10.1 on the same phone... only thing that changed is the firmware that have been flashed before.
Personnaly I dont think LG will release a 4.2, but I would take it as a firmware update anytime if it gives me another 1.5x battery
I let myself be surprised by LG.
Speculate that, yes or no, brings nothing
In any case, I am very satisfied with the G

New to lg, but on samsung, CM is way better than TW and that's a fact.Unfortunatelly lg doesn't have all the support samsung has.It will take some time, but,in the end, CM will be better than lg fw.
LG patches pure vanilla with Gesture UI and adds specific apps(like q-slide)..how do you call that?
All manufacturers do it(samsung with TW, HTC with sense and motorola with motoblur).

My point is : install lg latest firmware before installing CM and you ll see a big difference IN CM
CM and the others are good options for those who don't like LG UI. But I have never been a fan of CM on any of my phones cause it's never perfect!
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
maybe now,lg roms are better,because cm is still young for our phones.but,with a proper dev team,cm will wipe off lg roms.
imagine,pure vanilla running on g.but there is a long way.unfortunately,lg does not have 5he same support community like samsung

Maybe but even on GNEX, CM was nowhere as stable as stock or AOSP.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
I think LG will release android 5 instead of 4.2, because our G have strong hardware. Now we just pray for it!
lol, KLP will be released later this year.until then, we will have 4.2
My source told me 4.2.2 will be available at the end of may,begining of june.But it's possible to have it earlier.

I´d just be glad for a update with stuff from G Pro, but 4.2.2 and KLP sounds nice also ^^
Soo im going to my self a new device tomorow and got my eye on the optimus g and nexus 4
Wich one should i get???
On one hand i get all the latest and greatest and i like the stock android rather than lg's ui and with the optimus g i get LTE and an extra 16 gb of storage...
I also have some concernes... Ive seen complaints on the web about the optimus g overheating.. Any of you experiencing it ?
Lg ui gesture is the most fluid and smooth ui.far better than tw and sense.not so much bloat and most of those apps you will find them useful.we already have 4.2.2,with almost no bugs,but it can be a daily driver.i don't have heating problems and i'm a power user,runing this phone like crazy.didn't notice to get hotter than my previous devices.
The only advantage of n4 is the vanilla.but g is over n4 on every other aspect.better cpu,better camera,bigger storage,even microsd slot in some cases.
Of course the final call is yours.

A stock OG only has 4.1.2 at the moment. You can flash a custom rom after rooting and unlocking and get 4.2.2 though.
I may be wrong but before I flashed a 4.2 ROM yesterday, the last update put me up to 4.1.2.

I wonder to have MIUI on E975!
Indeed I wonder to have MIUI on LG G E975. It's infact very strange that still doesn't exist, and that nobody tried to port it.
Let's immagine that the very old LG P500 Optimus One, 640x320 pix, 512 ram and 729mhz cpu, with latest stock Android of just 2.3.5, have a huge choice of roms.
MIUI 2.3.7
MIUI V4 on ICS and on JB, ICS veru stable.
CM 10.1 with Android 4.2.2
CM 7 and 9 very very fast and stable
I really not figue out why this amazing G is still left so alone ...

I'm guessing you haven't even bothered to try to scan the thread titles in the various development forums here. There are more ROMs available for the LGOG variants than you can shake a stick at:
CM 10.1
Carbon
RootBox
Xylon
LiquidSmooth
AOKP
Avatar
ThinkingBridge
variations on stock
And probably a bunch more that I haven't listed as I tend to ignore the E975-based ones as I have an E971.
IOW, we have more ROMs available for the LGOG than the P-whatever you're going on about.
phoenix_rizzen, you are right, but I do have bothered to scan all the threads ...
I, for sure, express in a wrong way... when I wrote; "still left so alone". I wound say: "still left so alone from Xiaomi developers and/or MIUI lovers developers (to try to port it) ...
Sorry for that. I'll pay more attenction.
I am very MIUI oriented, so I think is a mess not to have even just one porting of it.
I recognize LG G have many roms, and I am subsribed to some of their threads in order to follow the future development.
About the P500, it have many MIUI unofficial portings. 5 or 6!|
I really not figue out why this amazing G is still left without official MIUI, but even with any MIUI unofficial portings...
That's it.
Try Avatar Rom, it's the closest you can get to MIUI for this device.pretty nifty too.
In korean naver cafe, there is a miui rom!

Il'' try Avatar for sure. I'm folloing the thread also, but ...
But I'm still chosing my new phone evaluating the modding possibilities.
I still do not own this wonderful G!! I'd prefer better phones MIUI compatibile just because I am accustomed to it. For that I am uncertain if doing an ecception or not.

One of G Pro LP ROM even have KK kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3043779 . I've tried to boot rom, but it was unsuccessful. So, what do you think about it?

first step is to DL f240 sources and mod it with e975 one
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=f240
so we need first L kernel
atm we have some kernel devs. i dont like to tag one but who is feeling free?
there are some great people who can port roms but dont much about kernel so if someone can start to bring L kernel it would be great and starts the stone to roll
