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.

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

With the agonizing teeth-pulling feeling we all had waiting for JB on our phones, does anyone expect or think that we will get another update from LG for this phone?
Whether an incremental bugfix or a JB update to 4.2.2, just curious who thinks they'll officially release another update for us LGOG users. Discuss...

I cant imagine seeing 4.2 until at least the GS4 drops. At this point, only the N4 has 4.2, right?
I thought the note 2 was rocking 4.2?

No smartphone has 4.2 at this point but Nexus devices. I do believe there is a tablet or two that have them(Asus I think is one of them).
S4 will ship with it in the US in May. Htc One will update to it around June. At that point we might have Key Lime Pie in the new Motorola being rumored. I would assume LG will update this device to 4.2 in June or July....maybe later. This phone will still be LG's flagship phone then. Only recently has it had a global launch.
The only way a device can stay relevant when phones with superior hardware are available is better software(Apple's philosophy on phones & computers). It is also cheaper than making a new flagship phone every quarter. So even if LG doesn't update, it would probably be wise for them to.

When asking about 4.2 on twitter, LG Nordic replied "More info about updates for Optimus G coming soon". So with some luck ^^

maybe we'll see a pro pack upgrade like the Optimus G Pro got... and they bring 4.2.2 with it. unless KLP drops very soon... I dont think this phone will ever see a KLP update(officially).
AOSP will surely carry us along for the good updates.

From what I got from my LG rep, The LGOG will see some type of Pro Pack Update. Didn't get anything else though.
What is this pro pack you speak of?

Why would anyone answer this without any source...
The REAL answer is not Yes or No, it's juste "unkown" until LG release a statement saying anything...

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!

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.

And does this one work on Optimus G? And how to install on stock or CM .. just flash as normal?
You do realize it's lg stuff,so it will only on lg framework,not cm/aosp/aokp/miui.
Same is happening with every other manufacturer.what's the point in releasing updates?tu use them with other software?

But how do we install it on stock? Flash it or ...?
Is this a working ROM for E975 with the Value Pack included or is it just the .apk`s from LG Optimus G Pro extracted?
How to flash or install this value pack?
Can we flash this via TWRP or do we have to re-kdz ?
Edit: okay we can't twrp this..
Does it work on E975?
Ok,where in the world did you guys read anything related to G getting this value pack?it's for g pro only.so stop asking when it will work on g.right now it can't even be ported,since g pro has 4.2.2.
We'll have something from those features,but not the full package,but only after the g gets the 4.2 update

Same here. The phone runs super smooth the way it is. Pick up a spare battery and you're good to go in case of emergency or extreme high usage.

Optimus G Pro Value Pack camera
Hi guys!
Since I'm interested by the LG OG Pro Value Pack features (especially VR Panorama and Dual Camera), I searched for some solutions to install the Value Pack camera on my stock rooted OG runing Android 4.1.2.
I recently discovered main.develoid.com and found in its files, the OG Pro system dump.
I extracted the CameraApp3b APK from the downloaded ZIP and pushed it to /system/app. After a reboot, the LG camera was a little bit different: I have the Panorama and VR Panorama options but unfortunately, when I try to launch them, it crashes.
I think it crashes because of some missing LG libs. The system dump I have could be helpful for anyone having a better experience than mine on Android customization.
Could you please make some tries and give some advice and help ?
Sorry for no posting direct links, I'm new here ! But if I can help you in some other way, say me !
Update to Value Pack but NO OTA
Gentlemen, is there any way to install the "Value Pack" in the LG Optimus G Pro that is NOT OTA? Please ... Help me! I have no AT & T and use my smartphone to another operator, but when I try to update via OTA says I'm not registered and will not let me update
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.

Ok, that was really helpfull.
But how do you think the g compares to htc one ?

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.

So far I havent heard anything about it. If you do decide to flash a rom I reccomend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880
I've been using it since yesterday morning and its been nothing but awesome. I'm sure you do know that unlocking bootloaders and rooting voids warranty so it is a use at your own risk method.
