Greetings people. Just curious... not complaining at all. Development for this device seems to be very slow. Is there something about the GN2 that is causing this or is that just how it is? I came from the GN from Sprint and the GSII also Sprint before that and there were new ROMS and rom updates constantly. Anybody have any insight? Once again, not complaining, just curious. I have nothing but total respect for the work time and effort that the devs put in to make our lives awesome and a could never thank them enough. I'm liking Jedi X12 the most so far, Toasted Marshmallow was ok as well. I'd like to know what you guys are running and what you feel is the best ROM and Kernel combo for performance and battery.
Thanks!
I think part of the issue is we already have one of the best stock roms, so there aren't really any to port over.

Yes I kind of feel the same way.. Came from gs2 tmo and there was a new ROM seemed like every day likewise with updates.. But yes we do have a surprisingly great stock ROM when I first got my device I thought I would be flashing all kinds of awesome ROMs but I started stock rooted for a while before I flagged a custom ROM.. my first custom ROM was Tweaked by dwith. Being a big fan of aosp on my gs2 I looked the fact that I was able to still take advantage of our awesome touch wiz stock and have the benefits of an aosp ROM. I am currently running Tweaked 2.0 (wip) but even in beta stage it's pretty much flawless! In combo with the persius kernel I'm think I'm am a happy camper! Lol I think as the s4 development comes along we will have some more mods for our device (of course W.E. is software and can be modified).. Although I loved aosp on my gs2 I think touch wiz based custom ROMs are a better for our phone as of now.. I think if a Dev could someone combine P.A.C. man aosp and a touch wiz based ROM, that would be steller!! Haha although we know that can't happen..

Like what? You can do a bunch of mods by just editing a text file. Besides Nexus devices Samsung is probably the easiest to mod

Some CM devs have stated they may not work on the S4. Google it.... I had the Nexus 1, Nexus S and the GN.

Okay, we're talking about development on the Note 2 not s4. So what hurdles did Samsung put in devs ways? If you compare anything to a Nexus device development will be lacking.
I've owned almost every high end phone from htc, Motorola, lg and Nexus devices. This one is the easiest to mod after the Nexus of course

Okay and that's some members of the cm team not official cm. That's also AOSP you know there are other ROMs which are easier and it seems many people prefer. Plus we can use a lot of cross platform ROMs too. By the way I read that already. My point is compare it to other devices and Samsung is pretty darn good. Go check out lg, they won't even release source code.

"While the Galaxy S4 is not specifically mentioned in that post – back then we only had sporadic rumors detailing the fourth-gen Galaxy S model – it’s clear from the length of that series of posts and his tone of voice that developing for Galaxy devices is harder and sometimes annoying. Here are some of his words from a November 28 lengthy update that best describe his frustration:
So, after all that has happened – I am mentally exhausted and pretty much burned out. Since BABBQ I’ve barely had the motivation to touch my CM source trees, because I’ve gotten tired of constantly bashing my head against the devices I own to make them more attractive to a given subset of users, when the manufacturer of said devices has done almost nothing to help answer technical questions or solve other issues. [...]"
My point was as stated .... Samsung does not make it easy for devs. Sure they can mod the stock ROM but that is why XDA divides regular development from original development. There is a difference between moding stock ROMs and original development.
My original comment was:
Samsung puts a lot of hurdles for devs. This is my first non Nexus phone and my last.

Wow.. I had no intentions of stiring things up.. I was just making convo in response to OP.. For the record I respect ALL the work that goes into custom ROMs, mods, pretty much the environment of customizing your phone the way you want it.. That goes for aosp, touch wiz, or any other form of dev.. I hope I didn't seem as though I was disrespectful.. As that was not my intention at all... :what:

Just some fun debating.
If you're looking for AOSP Nexus devices are the way to go. I see your point ruff. I personally like TW and this is the easiest stock based to modify. ..and I love odin!
On a plus side we just have great AOSP devs because compared to other devices I've run (except gnex) the AOSP seems pretty solid already.

If you have the t mobile version you're in luck for romanb and another member got the t mobile sgs3 (source is twitter) so maybe an AOKP ics rom or they'll wait it out till jelly bean comes out and either way after that the other variants should get there aokp hopefully with no problem

That's what I was thinking at first, but after using CM10, it manages to be a smoother experience for me. I especially like that the XDA Premium app no longer has problems. I also prefer the new notification bar over the TW bar.
None of this really matters in CM10 vs. MIUI, though. It'll be a tough choice.

We won't have too many ROM options, besides AOSP and TouchWiz, until CM10 is officially released. It's out for the international version, but only time will tell how long it takes to reach our version of the device.
If you want to take a giant risk, go ahead and flash ParanoidAndroid for the international version, but it'll probably hard-brick your device.

Maybe so, but I've heard stories of people hard-bricking their devices by flashing kernels made for different devices.
If anyone really wants this type of ROM, go to TMO GN2 forums and look at DaGR8s ROM. Or join #saurom on freenode. I asked if he could bring it over but he would rather have me maintain it but I know zero when it comes to modifying stock roms, smali, etc lol.

No offense, but I don't understand what you're asking. I say this because Android 4 is the same on phones and tablets. I have ASUS Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and this phone, and both are running Android 4.1. The difference are more device specific about screen size and particular hardware.
The mods I've seen are more about squeezing more functionality out the device, such a WiFi tether and mutli-app. They don't bring a more tablet experience than what the device already is in my use thus far.

Your cruelty knows no bonds. Making me search, LOL. Took me a while to find something that showed it. Most just videos on found on Youtube left in the ROM(s) in phone phone mode. This one showed it best that I was able find first.
But yes, I get it now. The sad part, only a few apps I use really have tablet interfaces. I like a similar interface across devices if possible. Although, it would be nice if K9 had a tablet UI. But I digress....
Haha sorry.

I like the idea of picking some apps to use in Tablet form. NFL Game Pass has a good tablet app; but I believe it's designed for 10" tablets, not the small ones such as Nexus 7. I like Chrome's interface on the tablet over the phone as well.
I have the ASUS Transformer Inifinity. Needless, some apps are interesting with their user interface.
Unfortunately, most apps on Android are still designed for the phone interface. As Android tablet get more popular, we'll see design interface incorporate the larger screens.
At the moment, I'm just happy to have a larger screen so I can see without having to zoom everything.
I hear ya but im constantly in settings and everywhere else hitting the back button a lot. Would be nice to have it all on 1 screen. Im gonna try and port PA. I would of bought or stayed with my evo. I want to see just how far I can take this lil big thing.

I tried talking to the developer of PA, and all he said was to wait for CM10 to come out.

My coworker saw my GN2 and I heard a "GOD DAMN!!!!" Another coworker (Sprint GS3) and I like to tease another about his iPhone4 since he complains a lot about it.
Yea, the settings is a nicer setup on my tablet. Switching tasks is a lot faster too. I just hit one button instead of holding it down. But I like this phone's recent task list. It actually closes the programs. I really like the clear memory option too. Why they can't incorporate a clear cache, is beyond me, but something I would like in that menu area.
Im so impatient. I want to buy n7100 just to flash it. Lol but I guess I'll have too

I was just in version playin wit DNA and it feels like im on gingerbread. Ran quadrant. 8000...

Was recently at an indoor waterpark resort in PA mts and there was starbucks in there. 1st time I paid the baristas where like, hell yea a screen I can read bar code. Couple workers few days later where like, ah your the guy with the note 2? Can we see it.. lol

Did something new come out? Have we hit a brick wall? At one point the roms and updates were being cranked out.. now nothing. What's going on?

I think a lot of pressure was for us to get jelly bean. We got it and things calmed down. We still have development. But, this device just isn't in enough hands. When CM get finished that should give us a pretty stable foundation for other popular AOSP roms. So, at this point that seems to be what is the most important milestone. I don't know how that is progressing though.

I'm really glad the first response wasn't a "hey stop asking, flame flame flame."
But yeah, I feel the same. The camera and other fixes in CM will make it stable and people will build on top of that. Why bother making new ROMs if your old ones are good and why build on CM if the camera (a pretty popular use of smartphones nowadays) isn't working?

I think I've been around here long enough to warrant asking a question like that. I've done my fair amount of contribution. Kc thanks for the answer. Megamaster, I agree, although I love aosp it would be nice to see a highly optimized, highly stable, and heavily themed LG based ROM too. For some people it's just their cup of tea.

What's needed most is themes. Good, full themes. I would kill to see somebody port Myn's Warm over to the LGOG. I'm sure somebody would like to see a TW or the new Moto look as well. Nobody has even bothered to mod any of the theme apks that come built in to the LG software. It may not be CM theme manager level of awesome but our phones does have a theme manager built in.
Except for base ROMs like AOSP/CM there really isn't a reason for new ROMs. To be honest, Imperium Initiative isn't even a ROM, I simply released it as one because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to write the script for it. If I had, it only would have been around a 50-60MB DL.

Definitely planning on that. I ported it to my epic and once I get sense working, I will go for it.

I'm content with what we have for the moment. And I've been poking around with some files myself trying to get features we should have (QSlide apps) working and other things of interest.
What languages/scripts and what do you guys make/bake and mod/theme Roms with and in? I know just some of the stepping stones, but have lots of time to learn. With a bit of self study I don't see myself being able to make roms, but surely theming/modding.
can anybody port iOS? Totally kidding.
I'm looking forward to what is coming, but at the same time, we do have some very good, stable ROMs. Something that can be said for our device that cannot be said for many others is that all of our ROMs that are not in testing are stable. Quality before quantity and all that. I was looking through the GS3 forums for a friend yesterday and they have so many options you simply could not possibly know what is good and what is not without reading pages upon pages of posts. It was awful!
Anyway, I think it's a valid question but from my POV I'm pretty happy with where we are at.
Plus, the roms we have are their own build your own rom kits. The possibilities are pretty endless.

Even if someone could get it fully working, they couldn't release it because Apple would sue their ass.

I definitely would like to see our theme manager utilized. Even if we had an inverted stock theme. All the menus are so damn bright, wouldn't mind seeing a dark theme. Maybe a blue theme... I just think for a device of this caliber we should have more.

Ahhh yes!! Myn's roms were the most beautiful and elegant I've ever used. I had the OG Evo and the Evo 3D and his work was always top notch. Donated to him more than anyone else. I would love to see his work on the Optimus G.

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.
Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Well like mrdsl said cm10 is the base for many of the good rom anyway and its almost done so I would expect to see development pick up soon. Especially as att keeps dropping the price makeing this easily the cheapest snapdragon600 device making it very appealing to many more people we should see the community for this phone grow a lot.

Not cracked, just bypassed makes a world of difference and according to what I've been told from LG reps they have no plans on unlocking the bootloader or releasing any source code

My understanding is the source that came from Samsung was leaked so hopefully something similar will happen with LG.

I enjoy mine and it's running stock but rooted. I've been able to do what I want with just root like getting rid of pesky qslides bar. It's cool but I don't use it and the apps are still there so ya. If you get this phone you'll enjoy it. Either way good luck with whatever you choose!
IMHO, a phone that good, stock rom is good enough!:laugh:
Stock ROM of Gpro is great.....and optimized.
I didnt miss CM or PA at all.
Exactly . Best rom by any android company released
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)
I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

do u kno if theres a black theme where the dialerpad, contact list and system settings are dark?
Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.
