[Q] Some questions about E975 - LG Optimus G (International)

First to say hello!
Im using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 for about year and half and I decided to change phone. My first choice was Nexus4 but i prefer Optimus G due to bigger internal memory, better camera, hardware buttons(back, home and menu)...
So my question is: does the Optimus G E975 have released source codes like Nexus 4 ?
I9100 doesn't have released source codes so coustom roms for s2 are good but we doesn't have proper hardware acceleration(project butter) and FM radio and some other stuffs on AOSP roms.
I have read somewhere that E975 can use sources from Nexus 4 and they works as it should, is that true? I like to flash custom roms and this thing is very important for me

Anyone?
Seems that optimus g community is way smaller than i9100 community

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 !

I wonder to have MIUI on E975!
Indeed I wonder to have MIUI on LG G E975. It's infact very strange that still doesn't exist, and that nobody tried to port it.
Let's immagine that the very old LG P500 Optimus One, 640x320 pix, 512 ram and 729mhz cpu, with latest stock Android of just 2.3.5, have a huge choice of roms.
MIUI 2.3.7
MIUI V4 on ICS and on JB, ICS veru stable.
CM 10.1 with Android 4.2.2
CM 7 and 9 very very fast and stable
I really not figue out why this amazing G is still left so alone ...

I'm guessing you haven't even bothered to try to scan the thread titles in the various development forums here. There are more ROMs available for the LGOG variants than you can shake a stick at:
CM 10.1
Carbon
RootBox
Xylon
LiquidSmooth
AOKP
Avatar
ThinkingBridge
variations on stock
And probably a bunch more that I haven't listed as I tend to ignore the E975-based ones as I have an E971.
IOW, we have more ROMs available for the LGOG than the P-whatever you're going on about.
phoenix_rizzen, you are right, but I do have bothered to scan all the threads ...
I, for sure, express in a wrong way... when I wrote; "still left so alone". I wound say: "still left so alone from Xiaomi developers and/or MIUI lovers developers (to try to port it) ...
Sorry for that. I'll pay more attenction.
I am very MIUI oriented, so I think is a mess not to have even just one porting of it.
I recognize LG G have many roms, and I am subsribed to some of their threads in order to follow the future development.
About the P500, it have many MIUI unofficial portings. 5 or 6!|
I really not figue out why this amazing G is still left without official MIUI, but even with any MIUI unofficial portings...
That's it.
Try Avatar Rom, it's the closest you can get to MIUI for this device.pretty nifty too.
In korean naver cafe, there is a miui rom!

Il'' try Avatar for sure. I'm folloing the thread also, but ...
But I'm still chosing my new phone evaluating the modding possibilities.
I still do not own this wonderful G!! I'd prefer better phones MIUI compatibile just because I am accustomed to it. For that I am uncertain if doing an ecception or not.
Miui V5
I found this topic on AT&T version

It's not possible to know that for sure. I doubt LG will update us to the latest version of android, honestly. Latest custom roms? Sure. Until Dec 2014? I'm not a psychic so I don't know haha
And in theory yes, you can port roms...but I don't know how so...

If you care so much about updates or a zillion of custom roms yeah.
If you want more storage, no on-screen buttons, LTE, better battery life, the possibilty to use a 100% LG Firmware with its fully functional gimmicks ( QSlide, etc. Might sound stupid but there's people that don't like AOSP ), you prefer the looks of the G, or simply you don't care about a zillion roms because you'll end up using a few at best, then not so much.
Also, I've had both phones on my hand and I don't know why ( because in theory they share the same display ) the Optimus G looked much sharper. Both were on stock, so I wonder if the N4 just has a ****ty calibration and needs a custom kernel to adjust it.
Thanks bro, I just change my rom once in 2 months or something like that but that rom had to be perfect..,

[Q] Chances of LG updating the G Pro at all?

What do you guys think, will LG even update this phone anymore? to any version, or even another OTA value pack that will bring the cool updated features of the LG G2. The reason I'm asking is because I'm fine with stock right now, but I would love to have the speed boost of a newer version of android, that's the only thing keeping me from rooting and "Roming"? again if they still plan on updating this awesome phone than I have no reason to root and rom. What do you guys think?

If I'm honest, I'd say we MIGHT, slim chance MIGHT, see an update to 4.2. Or maybe just a Value Pack update to bring over some features of the G2.
The advertising for our device was botched, and LG even admitted to it. So, the popularity of this device, isn't as high as it should. I wouldn't expect another update, but then again, LG has surprised me before.

I don't see Lg updating the gpro specially with the Lg g X soon to be out for sell, which is exactly the same phone as the gpro spec wise. I hope Lg proves me wrong but for now Im planning on rooting my gpro rather soon. It's a shame the phone was only an at&t exclusive here in the states or else it would have been much more popular and had more support from at&t.
Is there good support for CM out there? Because of the missing sources I assume, because LG isn't releasing them, I guess.

There is a leaked version on 4.2.2 China version floating around the forums, but it is way too buggy to try on other variants. We may see an official 4.2.2 update in the near future, but due to US carriers like AT&T who do like like pushing updates to phones that are not their flagship device, we may nit see that update. But, we can only hope and wait.

You can get certain features that are available in custom ROMs such as Nav bars, Advanced power menus, tweaks to the status bar, tweaks to lockscreen, you name it. Be careful though some of these won't be compatible so I suggest using the gravity box module. It has everything you may need

[Q]G Pro Lollipop ROM Port

Hello. I think many OG owners waiting for LP update, so i want to ask devs - is it possible to port G Pro Lollipop ROM? Hardware is almost similar (except resolution, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Camera). One of G Pro LP ROM even have KK kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3043779 . I've tried to boot rom, but it was unsuccessful. So, what do you think about it?

talked bit with mike (e970 user) dont know if hes on xda and name..
first step is to DL f240 sources and mod it with e975 one
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=f240
so we need first L kernel
atm we have some kernel devs. i dont like to tag one but who is feeling free?
there are some great people who can port roms but dont much about kernel so if someone can start to bring L kernel it would be great and starts the stone to roll
