Hey, so my friend has a sprint OG and I've got a nexus 4... The internal hardware is practically identical so I was wondering why there are no good ROMs based off of the N4?

The problem is the source.
We have ics and ics source. No one wants to waste time making ics aosp when jb has been out going on a year soon.
They just got source for the Korean jb version of our phone this week. They are working on it but it has some differences.
None of the phones are the same. Different cameras, radios, nfc chips, modems....
That is why.

Love this phone, love the hardware, but we've been hearing it's coming "soon" for months now. LG either did this on purpose, or miraculously made this the hardest phone to develop for. I'm now regretting switching away from Samsung...who seems to be much more in tune with the Dev community and providing what's needed to let developers have their way with the phones. I wish LG would get it together and give the dev's what they need.

I'm honestly so glad I switched from my bb to this. I don't have the crazy desire for JB. Just glad I got rid of the Bb

I swear I am not trolling.
But you said your happy you got rid of the BlackBerry and I on the other hand really want to check out the new bb10. I don't think I will buy it. As much as it has to offer it still won't compare. It does feel a niche in the community.
I think it will do well in the older market (30+ professional outside of IT). There is also a tremendous gap now in phone sizes. The only phone with a halfway normal size seems to be the iPhone and most of us still assume the phone as trendy and a fancy feature phone. Not a mini laptop like the Android.
And the reason we want JB is a lot of us downgraded on the software to get a phone with superior hardware. Furthermore, most of us thought the software would catch up sooner than it has. ICS is great but it is like the first production year of a new model of car. Jelly Bean is more refined. There are also additions in performance, battery life, smoothness, and apps.
For example, my wife's phone will tell her what the expected drive time is to work. She didn't program it. It just knows do to her normal schedule. ICS is great software. JB brings with it the very early stages of AI that adapts to your needs.
Just think what Key Lime will bring us. Eventually it will be so advanced it will go one of two ways. One, to hard to develop. Or the other which I hope for, full integration. The software will know what screen you have and radio you use. You just install and go. We won't have to count in manufacturers to release the source. The software will adapt for your nfc chip and gpu.
I honestly don't know why it has taken so long already. The SOC should do a simple handshake with the OS and be in its way.
Um, what was I taking about.

Actually scratch that. I had the 8530 so I know the pain of waiting for an os bb6, and in the end we did get it lol
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Only reason i got rid of photon was because of moto's lack of drive to update phones that are more than capable of running ICS or JB.
The photon's performance would have been greatly improved

From an update standpiont, yes, Moto bites. From a general software standpoint, LG is the worst of the big names. Their OTA's run more like alphas, maybe betas. Have yet to see an LG without major software mistakes and I've worked on a fair number of them.
That being said, I know as soon as JB source drops joker, th3bill and myself are going to try to get as far away from LG's code as possible. This is mainly for our sanity.

Correct. Once Sprint JB source drops (hopefully after my move) I want to get all the devs together and go over how to approach future ROMs. I see a stock based, aosp and N4 based. Also see hybrids of all three as well as ports like Paranoid at that point.
I know we all have our strong and week points and think we should build off that for the end users. How is everybody doing for web space and domains? After the move I plan to restructure/rebuild Martian Imperium as a more multi-dev website and already have some folks on board for the change.

I did it before rohan on the sprint variant and it is mostly working, but I don't plan to release it. Flashing all n4 partitions is not a great idea and could brick your phone. Cm is coming. Just waiting on the Korean jb source.

Unless everything works like update PRL/Profile, LTE, reading all 32gb internal sdcard, etc., I wouldn't recommend going the N4 route.
Better to just wait for AOSP based roms once JB source is released.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I would feel guilty releasing this when I know that the repartition could kill your phone. I know the phone has been out and you guys have had to wait awhile, but you've waited this long, why screw your phone up when legitimate cm is close. With korean 3.4 kernel source, we will be able to have cm done fairly quickly. It's not up yet but will be soon. Also, I have some exciting stuff planned for after cm (sense, miui, and whatever else you guys want).

Hey, xbox, with the source would it be easy to port the Korean version of 4.1 too? I am not knocking CM. I just don't see what you gain.
I only ask because it might be a few months before we get updated from Sprint.

What bad reputation? Other variants of the optimus g have jellybean already and the att version has been successfully converted to a nexus 4. The only issue we are facing is how sprint has theirs set up. Has nothing to do with LG. Lg pretty much has jellybean for our phone completed. Just waiting for sprint to do their thing and release it OTA. This phone is by far the closest you will get to a nexus device without actually being a nexus and even then give it a few months and you can slap a nexus sticker on it and I swear you won't notice a difference.

Only the Korean version has JB. ATT is running a port of Korean version. Also, I guess you haven't heard some of the things the devs said about LG. Their code is all jacked up and how this is pretty much a beta phone they released. The devs are having so much problems due to the poor code by LG.
LG has reputation of not supporting their devices with software updates and it's showing.

At least the att version can run that. Also nexus 4 conversation. Enough said
But give it some time. They will figure it out and work around the crazy code or fix it. This is a brand new phone. Has barely been out a few months. Miracles don't happen over night. Wait till we get jellybean official. The phone will explode with ROMs and devs. Right now its not important to mess with ICS too much with jellybean just right around the corner. Your referring to them trying to port jellybean to this phone from ICS and Koreans jellybean. 4.1 to 4.2 will also be a smooth transition once 4.1 is out from lg.

Even without custom roms I think I would keep my OG Pro for a daily driver,its just a solid phone... But the flash-a-Hollic in me is climbing the walls waiting for, CM 10.1, stock de-bloated, carbon, paranoid android, ECT..... I get all tingly just thinking about it....
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Problem is not many devs have this phone at all. Unfortunately on similar less than popular phones it has taken nearly a year to have a few ROMs that are worthy of being a daily driver. Happens a lot when you deviate from mainstream. I'm only interested in mods and overclocked kernals or maybe if it were really great, stock based ROMs myself. CM 10.1 is good but with any device it takes forever to have a RC, most never do. Plus the loss of the lg ir remote app would eat at me and I love love the pop up texts.
I'm doing the same thing...I keep checking around the web every few hours hoping to find some aosp to flash.

There's an Unofficial CM build in progress. I've been using it for a few days. The only problems are lack of camera, bluetooth issues (I can't confirm that) and the home button LEDs have been disabled. I'm sure once we have a solid CM base we'll start seeing more ROMs and ports.

Well it took Samsung about 8 months to release Jelly Bean on the S3. So really they are all pretty bad with updates and most of that could be blamed on the carrier.

thats not entirely true for the s3. it wasnt 8 mnths, it was like 5 - 6 mths. plus they released a couple of non-JB updates during that time before the official JB was released.

I respectfully disagree. I mean this phone came to usa in mid may to june. And in less than 2 months the value update!
I mean seriously is that not good enough?
Yes the value pack was available for korean version earlier than that but again the phone was available there first.
4.2 & 4.3 for what? its the same stuff. I was hoping from google to released a full new revamp android version..but i feel like 4.2 & 4.3 are just maintenance update to patch stuff. Yes a few things here & there...but that's it.
Now the developer support for this phone has been a little slow. But unfortunately this phone is at&t exclusive witch is stupid move from LG.
But i will buy this phone again no doubt.
I wish the camera software was better. The camera has a lot of potential but the software is not there yet.

With all the speculation of Android 4.4 Kit Kat releasing on October 14th, how long do you all think it'll take for someone to make a 4.4 ROM? I'm on 4.3 right now (CM 10.2 Linaro) and I love it...especially with this awesome kernel Neighborhoodhacker gave us. I'm just curious I guess.

Lol 4.4 is supposedly gonna have some new UI stuff too so that should be fun to play around with. Like I said though, I have faith in you guys..I love 4.3 on The Linaro build CM 10.2 and Beanstalk you guys are doing great.

CM just stated they are starting on KitKat but will continue to update/refine 10.2. I'm sure like stated before there's a bit of a jump so if we see 4.4 by Christmas that would be a tasty gift lol.

I'd like to say the same, but I will have to wait. I think this phone will handle 4.4 just as well. I also would like to see if it makes it back to my OG Evo. I've heard KitKat can run on older devices due to low memory usage.
Shel's already working on 4.4, from what I've seen. There was a zip posted in the irc, but the flash failed We're definitely getting it though, and I'm absolutely excited to see how it will run. I hope the battery doesn't drain too quickly.

Just a little update I have been using the latest official cm11 nightlies for a couple weeks and I have found no bugs with them as long as you use pa gapps they don't break the 13mp camera like regular gapps do

been using CM11 m2 and m3 snapshots with no problems
Interesting that I still don't see a listing on Cyanogenmod for the ls970 when AT&T has theirs listed. I can't believe they sold that many more lgog's than sprint.
I have two phones that I updated to Cyanogenmod CM11 snapshots that are working great so far.
Don't see any real problems with any of the apps or features, but I am not a beta tester. I am using these as my everyday phones and they work as expected.
Held my breath when I rooted/unlocked and installed the new rom's since they were mine and my wife's phones. I did this because I was so pissed LG dropped support for the phone upgrades. Such a good phone to be left at 4.1.2.
Anyone that has an LGOG's on sprint should not have a problem as long as they follow the instructions on rooting and unlocking. Can't say anything about insurance and warranty, though. I found it easier to buy a used phone when one of my other phones lost its screen. Insurance is a racket and is cheaper to just get a used on ebay.
Gave a new lease on life to my phone.
We've all heard rumors that LG is testing the KitKat update on the G and G2, and rumors that AT&T might be getting it on their models... but those are just rumors unfortunately. Nothing's happened so far.
