[Q] E975 kit kat roms - LG Optimus G (International)

Hello are there any more kit kat roms for E975, apart from CM11 and houstonn's aosp?
currently i am using houstonn's aosp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47061171&postcount=1
it is working flawlessly. but some camera issues. compared to newer phones the optimus g's 13mp camera is a bit crappy, but after the aosp rom yesterday it has gone from "ok" to looking like a 2mp feature phone i am serious. it is such a shame that i might have to go back to stock just because of it, but everything else is perfect: responsiveness, speed, battery life (appears to be longer now but need a few days to know).
also this is really weird the display appears to have changed its color profile dramatically, stock lg was cold color hues, but after the rom it is more saturated almost like amoled.

also why does this index thread not include any kit kat roms?

try mokee it is perfect 4.4 kit kat rom

thanks for the responses, i am using cm11 nightly + faust93's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528556
the outcome is near-perfect, no huge issues. maybe drains battery a bit faster than aosp, and upon boot there is always a popup saying that the
calendar has closed.
the camera focus is pretty much fixed, and i think the picture quality is comparable to stock, but the camera app itself sometimes closes.
the volume buttons are backwards
rocket player's widget don't display the track and pic of song playing
can't get dashclock to work
does anyone know how to use stock roms' apks? i tried to use the camera app ripped from G2 stock rom, but it seems to be a more complicated matter, not as easy as copying and running a ripped apk. i would like to use the stock LG music app, its pretty good you can delete tracks from the phone in the playlist view. most players just let you delete tracks from playlist but not from phone.

If i'm not wrong, if u want to use stock apps u must find ported apps for CM11, and if u want try Mokee with their kernel, it battery friendly and it's damn stable.

What about TV out on kit-kat roms?

If you mean MHL, yes it's working. But on cm only in latest nightlies.

oh my god thanks for the tip on mokee, it is the best i've ever used out of 3 roms, it looks like a winner and will be staying for nightlies from now on.
the camera seems to be back to its capabilities as stock.
i especially love how mokee retains some elements from stock like scrolling effects and some icons!

i'm on mokee but i saw few people on dokdo rom and they say everything nice about that rom, but i didn't try it for now mokee is the best

Did you try Commotio? It's a slightly different version of Vanir. I am using it as my Main Rom for daily use and I am very satisfied until now.
Though I have no experience with houstonn's aosp Rom.

now using Mokee but seem like battery life is not as good as 4.3 liquid solid

Zzz any issues with Mooke, tethering, gps?

well it depends on how you use it, i think mokee battery life is not great but still better than stock. there is only so much you can do with 2100mah, and i think ips panels just use more battery.
a few days ago i put in the f93 kernel by houstonn but it didn't work.
so i put in the next nightly but i lost 13mp camera, only 8 mp now (but at least auto-focus is functioning)... think i downloaded the wrong one
there is also some baidu and their own mokee market, you cannot uninstall it. but it is fair, as they have the right to administer their work the way they see fit.

Can anyone dry on kitkat rom droidcam app (make your phone in to webcamera with USB cable)). I've tried in every kitkat rom, and the wideo is not ok. Maybe it's only my problem?

i mean 4.2.1 ( CM10.1) is gonna come out soon... im excited for that staying with aokp 4.1.2 for now
I was on TW ICS and now on TW JB. My battery life is worse on JB. I think I'm going to give AOKP or CM10 a try this weekend for the first time.
I have brand new att s3 and 4.0
should I root it then get official update, or update it and then root?
the official update breaks root so it won't matter. you can root the new JB update though no problem.
Sticking with cm10 because it's awesome!

Cm10 ROM is truly amazing. What do you really loose? You loose all the motion gestures that, well personally I didn't use except the *stay awake* one, the stock video player, ability to save camera to extsd(which I actually hate not having)
What do you gain? You gain speeds on a phone I never imagined, you gain the absolute absence of bloatware, you gain an awesome camera, total systematic customization, far less app freezes(if rarely any), beautiful lock screen, notification bar from heaven, longer battery, performance control and sooooo much more. So far the S3 with a CM ROM on it, is longest phone I have ever kept.
Is there a way to update CM 10 nightly automatically? Or is it by flashing as if it was another rom? Where do we get 10.1? Thanks

I go to "system settings /about phone /Cm10 updates " you should be able to update there.

The ability to save camera images to EXT SD is something I wasn't aware CM10 didn't have. Hmm, I usually keep all my media on the EXT SD. I guess that's not a deal breaker more than it is an annoyance. The other thing I expect to lose is S Planner and the related widgets. I thought they were very useful. I wonder if the AOSP Calendar app has a similar widget? Can you or anyone confirm?
I look forward to the performance improvements even though I have no complaints with the TW JB in that area. The battery life is what I am hoping will improve quite a bit.
I was running CM10 since the stable release. I loved it. Battery life was great. I missed a lot of the TW features so i went to Bacon. Personally i wish there was a hybrid of both. BT works better in TW, but CM is so damn fast! Its just a preference, but try them out. Thats the beauty of owning these devices. .

I agree. I tried CM10 for a few days and I loved it, but I had to go back to stock (and happened to get the official JB update the same day). I use Bluetooth in my car, so it's a really important feature for me. The CM Bluetooth support just isn't as solid as the stock ROM. It sometimes had trouble connecting, the volume was lower, and there was a bug where there was no bass. Also, the stock ROM has some nice Samsung features that I'd like to try out for a bit longer (I just got the phone last week).
If CM can resolve the BT issues, then I might go back. However, I had similar issues on CM6/7 on my old Sony Ericsson X10. I wanted to throw that phone out the window of my car.

I flashed blackjellyv.0.9.1 and got everything stock had to offer with the cm10 feel and more. So amazing that tw should mimic it. But, weirdly I got so used the phone ability to swipe from dialer over that having to two hand it to the top to select things really irritated me. The cm10.0 is a bit faster, BUT u can DL pics right to SDCard on camera!!! The lock screen is the ripple stock which I wish were the jellybean lock instead, and the dialer flashes greens and blues etc while it is call out or coming in if you do not have a pic defaulted. I couldn't stand that part. The BlackJelly though IS the stock version of CM10 IMO

4.2.1 CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone has had chance to install CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM and if it's good? I'd imagine it to be quite buggy at the moment due to the fact that it's only just been released. Quite keen to update to latest android 4.2.1 but don't want to update to a buggy ROM.
Links: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...oid421-jellybean-galaxy-note2-n7100-cm101.htm
http://get.cm/?device=n7100
I just flashed this rom to test it out. Lots of graphical bugs(especially when using the camera) and all of the S-pen features DO NOT WORK. And i also have noticed that my power off button whenever i click it , it does not turn off the screen to go in lockscreen. Other then that..man i was so happy to see AOSP i love it so damn much but..this is just not for me i wish these bugs were fixed and then AOSP is on!!! Thanks for the link though.
No worries for the link . I was surprised no one had been talking about it on here before when in posted it. Cyanogen seems that be the most popular ROM because it's Google stock and optimised. currently using ParanoidAndroid which is great. I highly recommend. Hopefully they'll release a 4.2.1 version of that soon!!

Are there graphical like bugs on PA , I think the S-Pen features dont work on that too but you can get some apps to have like features and can i have the link to the version you are currently using please, Also hows the battery life on it ? Thanks!

No graphical bugs in PA at all (as far as I am aware). I'm really pleased with it. I'd recommend it to anyone. Tablet apps on this phone also work beautifully well. Like YouTube for instance.
Battery life is SLIGHTLY (we're talking marginal) decreased from Samsung ROM. However, to give you an example of how good the battery life still is - I go to work and use my phone throughout the day for Spotify. It's always connected to wifi at work as I have hardly any signal. I am also always connected to GPS so i can get the most out of things like google now etc. I unplug at 8:30 and get home for about 6:30 every night. My battery when I get home is usually 60%. So I can't complain. When I had my iPhone I used to have to stay constantly tethered!!

stable aosp rom?

hi all.
tried a few aosp roms. all great. just some annoying random reboots. im not a heavy customizer. i just like the feel of vanilla android. and also i like smaller dpi settings. currently running ptmr3's jedi rom. excellent rom, havent experienced any reboots. though its a nice rom, i like aosp roms. any out there without random reboots?
also with the kitkat update our note3 is getting, will future roms be more random reboots less or none at all? im suppose to meet someone this coming wednesday to trade my note3 for his nexus5. or should i wait til new roms are cooked up based on the kitkat update for better aosp roms?
also trying to figure out how to remove this damn widget on lockscreen. cant seem to get rid of it.
thanks all

I've been on the unified Note3 CM11 builds and have been enjoying them quite a bit. The only reboots (and lockups) I got were from tweaking my CPU settings...apparently the only parameter that was pissing my phone off was the conservative governor. Also clk_min won't stay at the floor...but aside from slightly compromised battery life CM11 has been near perfect. I'll take the very slight battery life reduction for AOSP...also, the ART runtime is wayyyyyy better than Dalvik. Worth it for that alone. I just enabled that "for good" today but I already expect enough battery life savings to make up the difference (which was admittedly small).
Performance is top notch (even when underclocked to 960mHz), the ART runtime seems to make scrolling, chrome, maps and all around navigation snappy as hell...and I don't have to deal with TWiz. To each their own, touchwiz ain't for me. All the important stuff appears to work (LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, 1080p video recording...I can't even remember the things I used to worry about...everything works fine, even the 'settings bug' is resolved now...)
YMMV, of course.

Thanks. I will try it out after i play around with gummy. Yah im not a fan of touchwiz either. How do i enable ART? i have never tinkered with that. Also regarding cpu tweaking. I dont really bother with that and i still get reboots and lock ups. Most times i just leave the kernel that came with the rom alone and not change it.
im a flashoholic. & i truley hate touchwiz roms. but ive been a week on AOSB v1.30 (longest ive ever stayed on one rom lol) its smooth & zippy, it has some amazing battery life. also vanir isnt a bad rom.
also switching runtimes is available in developer options under "apps"

Anyone here still using CM11?

Just got a bit tired of little bugs in the CM13 based roms and thinking about switching back to CM11. The only concern is the lack of security updates after the maintainers abandoned the projects for newer android versions.
Did anyone here try downgrading? Or maybe never upgraded? Is it wise to do so?
Some of my issues with CM13 based roms which have put me off:
Insane lag when reciving calls
Adopting Storage doesn't work half the time
Front Camera crashes
Mobile Data issues
Lock Screen Wallpaper Issue
Music suspend bug
Battery drain Issue
LOL brother. I am still using CM 11 build 14/11/15 with Xcelerate kernel build 4/12/15.
I still used this OS as it gives me atleast 500+mb ram which I require a lot for gaming.
At battery 100%............(with airplane mode on)...wifi on After 3hrs of continuous wifi gaming my battery drops to around 20%.
So I guess battery life is good.......though i haven't activated any sim cards(that would be a different story)
I don't have any voice(call) related problem though. Only bug is HDR. Once a picture is clicked with HDR on, you have to exit camera to click again in HDR mode
I actually need a CM 13 rom which provide such performance.(I was thinking about Slim rom 0.4 by Aniket Lamba)
So if anyone can suggest me better rom then please let me know. For me stability & usability matters more than recent builds.
I always will appreciate any information whether good or bad
I used to like KK as it was last in the line of the Holo interface and it was the only 4.x available for our phone, so I used it for fairly long and didn't switch to LP until MM came around. Along with Xcelerate it was really good: decent battery life, smooth experience and fast charging. But now that I've grown to like the Material interface as well, I've been using MM more often these few months, especially Slim6, which I feel gives the same feel I used to get on KK: stability and smoothness.
KK is still one of my more favourite ROMs, but given that KK is mostly dead by now and there are more developments and features in LP and MM, I think I'll just stick to Slim6.

1) I don't get this
2) I don't use Adoptive Storage, heard it screws with WiFi
3) I don't get this (it has been fixed recently)
4) Depends on ROM
5) GravityBox (for AOSP MM), or this guide (which also works on CM13)
6) Disable MPDecision. Strangely when I downgraded to CM11 I was still getting the bug.
7) Depends on ROM
The issues I had with CM11 were generally the use of Apollo and the HDR issue as stated in the post before mine. And the music bug after downgrading. Apart from those I was happy with it, and I wouldn't mind a single bit to change back to it. I just don't understand the hate regarding KK, especially in the MIUI 8 thread...

Hate towards KK is only because most of the apps are working great in >LP than in KK. If MIUI with LP is given then it can be easily a great choice for armani. MIUI ram issues have sorted out but only thing is standby time(wifi on) is low.

The music bug persisting after the downgrade is what's keeping me back. I, too, don't use Adoptive storage for all the bugs it brings - even on AOSP. But this means I'm running out of space by the end of the month because of necessary evils like WhatsCrap.
The gravitybox mod is good to know, although I don't use xposed, but really is simply a hassle to effectively change your wallpaper - especially when I'm changing them every other week.
I've recently tried disabling MPDecision - the music seems to be playing fine but I can't help but notice sightly degraded performance all around.

Hate towards KK is only because most of the apps are working great in >LP than in KK.

Adoptive Storage is a hassle to set up: you need to format your SD card (which meant I had to shift everything out before converting it), and TWRP has no way to read such encrypted storage, so I didn't use it after the first time I tried it. Also you could do with regular housekeeping of your phone's storage; usually I keep WhatsApp images for a year before deleting them (after keeping the important ones and archiving the rest).

Xposed is very helpful, but if you don't want to use it then I won't force you.
Generally in those CM12/13 ROMs if I wanted to switch between lockscreen wallpapers I would leave a couple of those wallpapers in the /data/system/users/0 folder, just renamed to let me know which file is which wallpaper. Whenever I wanted to change them I just renamed them to the proper filename.

You don't have to leave MPDecision off the whole time: just disable it when listening to music, and re-enable it afterward.
Thank you everyone for your valuable comments:good:. It seems I can finally move on to CM 13:fingers-crossed:.(mostly slim6 version)
Note: I don't have music stop bug in CM11 though( may be related to firmware version or kernel. don't know why different people have different bugs:silly

What I think is that the KK firmware/modem we all flashed for CM13 builds has something to do with the music suspend bug. This is probably the reason why downgrading back to CM11/12.1 doesn't seem to fix this issue.
Anyway, seems like I'll just stick with CM13 for now.

Well not really, as the same v7.0.5.0 is used for CM11, 12 and early 13 builds. It's most likely a kernel issue, given that disabling MPDecision fixes it somewhat.

Stock Rom vs Custom Roms.

Today, I went back to the Stock rom, Lg G3 marshmallow... even tho i have bloatwares of Tmobile and other apps, the performance is smooth, battery is good also i found that the phone doesn't get hot on the back like when using custom roms.
I have been using different custom roms, like N&N, Fulmics 5.3 and 6.0 ... etc but all had the issue of getting my phone super hot and not smooth as stock.
Are you using a custom rom for Lg g3?
If yes, which one and why you choose it over the stock? pros and cons of the custom rom?
Thanks!

well i flashed Fulmics 6.1... the cellphone network wasn't working and wasn't able to power off the phone or restart it... so i flashed 30d modem and bootloader and everything is working fine now... i hope we get nougat.. but it seems it is going to come only as AOSP ...it is good if IR blaster and keyboard were ported, but we have to live with crappy camera :/

I been off of stock for awhile now. I rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom within two weeks. Way too much bloatware on stock. I tried a few roms. My favourite was Dirty Unicorns, but I am on Slimsabre 5.1.1. now. I am considering trying Paranoid Android to see how it is. Plus right now I am running without gapps, which is another advantage to custom roms. My battery life has greatly improved and I love it without Google Play Services. I prefer the AOSP roms over even stock roms like Fulmics. I tried Fulmics and I wasn't really impressed with it. More customization I have found, and I like the custom kernels settings that are available. Only thing I do miss is the knock code feature. It was so much easier and faster to unlock the phone that way. I had overheating issues as well. Once I lowered my resolution to 1080p the overheating woes were done.

well.. AOSP has a big disadvantage for me because of the Camera quality, a lot of force close and the lack of features, IR blaster and keyboard...but i guess some were ported?... and i guess the knock code feature can be added through xposed? i remember seeing a module there.
Also, not sure i can live without gapps, for updates and looking for apps and also the voice commands, make the phone smart, useful and fun.
overheating issues with aosp?
At the end, we are going to end up with AOSP one day because of Nougat won't be supported by snapdragon 801... and CM is doing a good job with it but it seems that what they are going to port is just some features and the UI... which makes it quiet hard to leave the full stock rom for AOSP .

Yes the camera quality suffers but for me, I don't use the camera really so I am fine with it. The knock code from xposed only works when the screen is on, which defeats the purpose of the knock code I think. There is f-droid, and apk's that I use. Plus if I switch roms, titanium backup has my apps backed up so it saves the headache of having to install each one again. I've been getting away from Google do no Gapps is the first part. I am starting to trust open source more now. I had overheating issues but once I lowered the resolution to 1080p it fixed the issue.
