i was looking to buy one
where can i get one?
is it better then bells or others?
any flaws?
any good stuff about it thats different from the others?
korean edition has 13mp camera and 4.1.2.but no root.
I am just wondering how come there is such a lack of development for the OG, no kernels, not many ROMs, etc seems soo unlike android, and makes me kind of regret getting this phone. I love it, but with a nice custom ROM tweaked out id love it even more. Not trying to *****, cause i am in no way capable of doing what many of the cooks do on xda, just inquiring.
How can you say there's no development going on? The following are available:
- LG 4.1.2
- CM 10.1
- AOSP 4.2.1
- AOKP 4.2.1
- AOKP 4.2.2
- CarbonROM 4.2.something
- RootBox 4.2.2
- and several of the N4 ROMs are known to work with the right incantations and sacrifices.
Sent through the telekinetic powers of an Optimus G (E971) running AOKP 4.2.1.
Seriously? Can you point me at them?
Need the CM10.1

Dunno if there's CM10.1 support for Korean/ international devices, some cooked up for US/ Cdn devices.

Check the following three sub-forums to the LG Optimus G forums:
Optimus G Android Development
Optimus G Original Android Development
Optimus G E973 (Canada) Android Development
If you can find this here Q&A forum, I'm pretty sure you can find those three. They're all part of the same LG Optimus G forum, afterall.
EDIT: Add links for the truly lazy.
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
What's the best alternative for a Galaxy Nexus?
My wish list:
- full support and documentation of phone HW and kernel drivers (better if source code of HW drivers is available);
- An active community of 3rd party kernel build/patches/mod and AOSP ROMs. I'm not a fan of Cyanogen and customized ROMs. With my GNex I'm a fan of ShinyROM and FML, I like Fancy Kernel and Franko Kernel;
- LTE ready;
- SuperAMOLED or similar display technology;
- better battery life;
- same dimensions;
- price under 300 USD/EUR;
- European warranty and/or European GSM model (I live in Europe);
- vanilla AOSP Android like Nexus devices. I don't like Touchwiz or vendor ROMs;
- ideal for development and hacking;
Possible candidates, actually, are Motorola Moto G and LG Nexus 5.
Any suggestions?
Moto G, Moto X, or Nexus 5. If you can handle a bigger phone the Nexus 6 is pretty sweet too. It reminds me a lot of my Gnex, but twice the size.

Moto X and Nexus 6 and Nexus 5 are too much expensive.
I can buy Moto G 2nd gen LTE for about 180 EUR (200 USD) minus a cashback of 30 EUR.
What do you think?
Wait for moto g 3rd gen then. Same price, better specs, coming in a week or two...

Maybe in USA...
Will be the same story for Europe at the same time? I doubt
LG G2...

I wait for Oneplus 2 reviews but i think that also Xiaomi Mi3 is a best buy at 166,46€
Hy guys,
I have some questions.
I love my LG Optimus G.
Switched from the LG Gpro back to the G because the G is much better.
But i thought there would come some more official updates.
If you look inside our G the specs are nearly the same like the new phones.
If you oc a bit and play with kernel.
The G is better then Gpro and OG2 for shure.
But where are the new firmwares?
Is no cool dev out there who can port a new G4 rom?
Is that not possible?
I treyd the new cm and aosp roms but they are not really stable for me.
It would be great if someone could make a LAST Super Cool LG Rom.
Maybe we could find some nice devs???

Note: As a long time lurker who never posts my response is not just to your post but to other lurkers who may be less knowledgeable.
What MasterFURQAN said! I appreciate LG's proprietary overlay for Jellybean and Kitkat as well but wanted my still quality hardware to have more current software.
The last LG based firmware which I used until about three weeks ago was Sling Kahroba. It is based on the last official LG version of Android for our device which was not released in America. I am not a developer or ROM porter but I imagine the significant hardware differences like much higher screen resolution, fingerprint reader, camera resolution, ROM size etc make porting from an essentially unrelated platform (CPU, GPU, Camera libs) too complicated.
You do not specify what Optimus G model you have but my American version (E970) is running fine with Nitrogen M 6.0.1 (Jan 25 build) with the E970 kernel flashed after. I am not much of a gamer and can't quote Antutu scores but it is stable and fully functional with one small camera related exception. The fine focus on print within a 18 inches or so is not quite there and I use another free camera app, not Google's, because it is more stable in video mode.
I skipped Lollipop and tried other Marshmallow ROMs in this forum but Nitrogen seems to work best for me now.
I used e975, nitrogen works fine for me too. I didn't find big issue with and this rom updated continuously. I am very happy that my old phone can have android 6.0. Even the new phone that I bought for my wife and daughter still in kitkat and lollipop..
