Optimus G Pro Versions - LG Optimus G Pro

hi. im a hardcore samsung fan but now im kinda bored of it. just sold my galaxy S4 yesterday. now i wanted to jump to LG and see if its good or not.
i have heard a lot good about this phone. im kinda power user (if thats a thing ) cause i like to try new roms and tweak a lot with my phone. every body knows samsung gets the most love from developers because of so many users and there are tens of roms to choose from for sammy phones.
its my first time with LG phone so, im confused like HELL! cause i see there are like 5 versions of Optimus G pro.
my question here is which version should i buy which has easy Rooting and the most number of roms?
as i have already said i dont use the phone much for other things like TV (i guess there is TV antenna in the korean model) i just keep changing and trying out new roms. so which version should i get which had the most love of devs here? should i get the E980, E986 or E988
and how to check the EXACT MODEL NO while buying?
thanks

I would get an e980. They can use almost every ROM on here flawlessly. The f240x models don't get nearly as much love.

Just got my e980 today rooted with Kingo and threw cm10.2 on it and its pretty nice actually. I've been running Samsung for a while with my note i717 and my Mega i9205...so glad I made the move. It was different not using Odin but I'm all set now and this phone is blazing fast. No Sammy has felt like this for me..props to the e980

I think it depend on where you live. Which version is available in your country. Here in Indonesia, only the E988 version is available. Since myself is a new LG OGP user, i don't know much about custom ROM yet.

My is an E989

Man if I were in your place I wouldn't have sold the s4 ull be underwhelmed by the contrast of this screen like I was when I switched to this phone and also the contrast of the camera but it has much better build quality than s4
Its a really good phone no doubt but the s4 is just better including the developer support if I were you I would get the new HTC one or wait until the s5 comes out but if that's not in your budget. The g2 is a lot better than this and not much more expensive either I would recommend that it also has a much better camera another option is the note 3 but that is also quite expensive
But if your set on getting this phone I won't stop you cause I literally can't
You can confirm the version by going to the settings > about phone> phone identity
You can also confirm it by taking off the back cover and battery u will find the imei number and version of this phone

N7100 vs N7105 Support

Hello all,
I just bought a Galaxy Note II N7105, and i need to ask the xda communiti one very important for me question:
I love flashing ROMs and experimenting with my device, but sadly when i came back home with my new toy, i realised that the 4G version of the device has A LOT less support from the xda developers, meaning ALOT less ROMs, MODs and so on.
I have the option to change my device for an N7100 one, so should I change it? Is really the support that much less ?

I recently upgraded from the Note 1 and was just as disappointed when I got to the forums especially as I was looking forward to using Indie's Omega Rom again since my GSG2 days. The 4G version definitely has a lot less support, but the silver lining is that a lot of the T-Mobile and AT&T roms are compatible with the N7105, you just have to make sure you keep you have the right modem for your carrier.
I think there's a thread on here somewhere that lists some of the compatible roms that others have tested, you might have to google it.

Maybe getting this phone.

I have questions because I might get this phone. Is this the most active forum for this phone?
-do you guys see a lot more development coming?
-is this the forum for the ATT version of this phone?
-how long will it be before anyone actually starts working with this phone? I'm scared to leave my current phone. For a dead one.
-does this take a micro SIM and does it have a SD card slot?
Please answer these questions with the best of your ability. I know I can't ask about development but I wanna know what you guys know before I get a dead cell phone. I understand it's new and will take time. But I wanna know what's going on behind the scenes.

Do you think the development will extend? I'm on an HTC one x and I'd hate to leave all of the options I have :thumbdown:

I don't have this phone ... I have LG Optimus 4X .
As you know , Optimus 4X is exactly the same as your phone (one x) . But we don't have any developments .
In a general view , LG Phones don't have a high developers (frankly speaking , don't have any developers) .
LG phones is very cheap with a high performance & excellent hardware , stylish . But I don't know why it's dead in development .
If you want to change from one x to optimus G and want some development, I don't think you will get that .
You can get Root , Unlock BL , Recovery ... but after that you won't get that much of ROMs or Kernels .
I always check one x forum and there are millions ROMs & Kernels . While we aren't even if we have the same RAM , GPU & CPU .
But I'm not sure of Optimus G .
I hope this helped .

Why?optimus g> hox anytime.
The phone is great.we already have cm 10.1,but this phone is flawless on stock too.
It's true,there aren't many devs,but those working here are great.to be honest,not the devs is the problem,but the users.we are not many.i bet all my money if this phone would've been made by sammy or htc,this section would've been different,with much users and devs.but it's not the case.
Regarding your criteria for choosing this phone,wow,i'm surprised,i mean,if nokia 3310 has more devs ,youl'd choose that?.
Like i said ,lgog beats hox by a mile.

I agree with the previous posts. Probably not much development for this because LG makes a good phone.
If google picked them this year to make their Nexus phone, then they got to be doing something right.

Nah, it's pretty quiet hear. A nice getaway from the usual hustle-bustle of XDA traffic. Well, Samsung, HTC, and even Sony, they all have a good amount of developers. The XPERIA Z was released after the Optimus G, yet it's got much more developers than the former. I guess LG phones, even though this is a really good device, don't sell that well, and this puts off developers from developing. So, if it's development that you want, I'd advise you to move to another option or even brand.
You already have the 3 main developpement: CM, AOSP, AOKP.
Comming from HTC, I can understand the need for "more roms", since the OEM does totally blows. But honnestly, LG roms aren't half as bad as HTC!

For the Canadian variant, maybe, but development's seriously lacking for the international E975. We just have CM, but that's a little buggy at present.
Well,chad's version has the call bug and the 8mpx camera,but official cm,with kernel based on lg source,is bugfree.
I tried them both.now i'm looking for a dual boot system,so i can run both official and chad's version untill they decide to merge the projects.if this happens,it will be the best decision.

It's a nightly, not the final, polished version. So, it's surely got to have some bugs. By the way, is GAPPS included, because 180 MB seems a little too small for a ROM? And is there a risk of the EFS partition being erased? How do you work around it if there is?
gapps are never included in CM since version 9
you have to flash it manually

That's what I thought. There were no GAPPS on CM for the XPERIA Arc. Where can you find GAPPS for CM10.1, though?

I had the exactly same question before buying OG.
In my case, the painful experience with my Optimus 2X made me circumspect about another LG phone. I look up for Nexus 4 and I found that it has many problems... so I asked myself the question what is the closest best phone to Nexus 4?
It turns out it was OG. Hardware is identical but OG is faster, better built, has an powerful stock ROM, better camera and radio.
This two phones are so identical that can share 99.9% of N4 kernel. So I guess future android versions will be ported to OG with close to none problems.
E975 is recently launched so development is in its infancy but as you can see, we already have official CM support!
My bet is on OG.

Nexus 4 officialy gets Android L - what it means to us?

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/android-be-together-not-same.html - i hope magicans from XDA are going to port it or smth - its almost same device as Nexus 4 IMO.
It means we should have better port's for our G.
Don't expect an update from LG because that isn't happening.

I'm not expecting update from LG - did i say so?
You didn't but I also wasn't being rude writing that.
Writing can't express many things.
Sorry if i sounded rude by saying that ?
Easy man
From now on, our beloved optimus g, has died with android KitKat, now the life of this device depends on the developers, I have a feeling that the community optimus g will be more active from android lollipop output, this device will still is much war, as their specifications in my opinion are excellent even for these dates.
Long live optimus G
Sorry my bad english.
I mean, if someone does multi device rom port for Nexus 4, it shouldn't be hard to port it to Optimus G as it is almost same device. I even saw tutorial that changed your Optimus to Nexus, but idk if it is still working, maybe i'm wrong
I'm almost sure that all Optimus G variants will get working Lollipop ROMs all within due time.
From what I'd seen I actually don't doubt of it getting an official update around next year. Tho i bet that if it happens, it'll have less features of LG software than a g2 mini.
LG would show how different they are if they St least help officially with a aosp project as Sony does often.
I can dream, right? Lmao
Heeeeeeeeey, We don't need to port anything. Devs can build it from source. Kernel wise good efforts by devs are in action now. Don't worry. We've always been a step forward and we will be. N4 sucks
I am not expecting any official update coming for e975 from lg for Android L. However relying on xda developers to port nexus 4 build for gee like they did for preview release.
Thanks
If Nexus 4 are getting it.
There must be a way to port it Optimus G.

Release 14.4 mobile data doesnt work? Using E975 here
seems no one is excited by the output of Android Lollipop like me, usually in the release of a new version of android, all developers are put to work to carry the latest version of android, I know that developers are human, and have their own life, but it seems that the community of this device is dying, yes, we have many roms and very good developers, but as there is no such feeling of excitement for having "the most updated".
I do not know about android development at all, that is the reason of why I have not done my own port of Android Lollipop.
Sorry if I sound angry, but it's not lol, it's just my opinion.
And I apologize for my English, my knowledge is very basic

Heeey, devs are working on it. Don't worry. The great Dirty Unicorns team is one of them. And maybe having a ported preview build ceased our excitement. If you see other communities are too excited that's because they've never had the luck to try lollipop.

Rom's just don't feel stable tho, official kernel source released and no one bats an eye, maybe two debs working with it, and it just doesn't feel like I could tweak some roms without everything getting screwed up.

Help me decide LG G4 vs Oneplus 2

Hey guys,
I need to decide between the LG G4 and the Oneplus 2. I really like the expandable memory and battery life of the G4, but the Oneplus has a great processor and lots of development. So I'm interested to know what you like and don't like about the G4. What should I know about the phone in considering it? There isn't much ROM or Kernel development from what I see here, how do you like what is available? How easy is it to root compared to Samsung, HTC, and Oneplus? How customizable is it? Can you simply OV/UC?
Any feedback is appreciated!
I had the same choice has you. I choosed G4 two weeks ago for a lot of reasons. (I had a Note4)
Problem : Touch default which will be correct in the next update
I prefer G4 against Oneplus2 for : Expandable memory, battery removable, more stable CPU/GPU, great screen, great photos/videos. Good battery.
I haven't root the phone actually, but I have downloaded the bootloader unlocker key on LG website. In fact root seems very easy.
Root is pretty simple and with an unlockable bootloader coming for most if not all variants the g4 development will be booming soon...i love the camera and the overall smoothness of my g4 and plan on keeping it for a long while

Unlockable bootloader...usually draws devs as a workaround is not needed to install custom roms/kernels...also root is an easy process...also i owned the original optimus g the g2 g3 and all had great developement...i will probably be an lg mobile buyer for life...plus an unlocked bootloader on such a powerful device just screams for attention
I highly doubt there'll be much development for the g4. And obviously there'll be way more for the op2. So if you buy a phone to flash roms all day long I think the decision is simple. For me the g4 with root and Xposed is perfect. I wouldn't flash anything else than stock on it if I got payed for it.

I dont flash ROMs everyday. Before my OPO got stolen. I hadnt flashed anything in about two months. I just want to make the phone run the way I want. Why do you think there wont be much development? And how do you think it would compare to g2 and g3 development?

It has been a long time since I used Xposed, but if I remember correctly you cant really tweak the voltages, clock speed, governors, io scheduler, Etc. Plus I'm concerned about development after LG ends support

Agreed.
The reason we used to flash roms daily was to fix faults and improve things which usually broke other things...
G4 on latest update seems pretty much perfect.
More time spent doing fun stuff now.

Agreed.
The reason we used to flash roms daily was to fix faults and improve things which usually broke other things...
G4 on latest update seems pretty much perfect.
More time spent doing fun stuff now.

That's great, for now. But when Lg stops supporting the G4 in about a year, I'd like there to be continued dev.
Additionally, there are things I'd like to tweak to make the phone more suited for my use (gov/io, clock speed, processor voltage, wifi seek interval, etc) that I dont think I can do with xposed or with stock.
How much customizability is there with lg stock? What about the Kernels already available?

I'm happy leaving voltages etc alone. It works great as it is for me. Maybe check the dev section for progress but sounds like one plus 2 might suit you better.
The plan I'm on allows a new phone yearly so so fading dev support was never an issue.

It has been a long time since I used Xposed, but if I remember correctly you cant really tweak the voltages, clock speed, governors, io scheduler, Etc. Plus I'm concerned about development after LG ends support

According to lgs website the g2 is about to get 5.1...they may even get m...the support from lg is pretty amazing for an oem...i also had my g3 break out of warranty but it was a known issue and lg fixed it free of charge...thats why i stick to lg
I got a private message that really helped me a lot from Zilol. I'm posting it here for others who may be considering the same thing, with Zilol's permission of course
I would choose the G4 if it was overall experience and stability. But root and everything about KDZ is horrible if u are used to nexus-like devices, the G4 is way more trouble and all about being careful and a lot of more work as well. TWRP got erased and if u boot into recovery (stock), it automatically does a factory reset with wiping media too (I didnt know neither of those 2 factors) and I lost my internal storage. I was so mad, I gave the 1+2 a shot. Well, compared to the G4 the 1+2 feels like a unfinished buisness. The battery life isnt really above average. I would guess the SD810 to be the culprit but thats not the case. Its something about standby time, not OST but I guess that could be fixed by a software update. OxygenOS feels like an unfinished buisness, lacking several important features and a certain degree of stability. When I updated to 2.0.2, I lost the search bar in "recents" and "clear all apps" was gone as well, which just makes no sense, since u dont have an option to activate it, at least I didnt found it. The next thing is camera. On short distance its fine and compareable to the G4 but under low lights its another story. the photos arent as sharp as on the G4 when zoomed in but that could be the difference in megapixel count. but the biggest problem (just discovered like 2 mins ago) its just bad when it comes to distance shots. Because the infinite focus doesnt seem to work. When I manually focus, there is a short period where its sharp but when the focus is fixated its not sharp at all. I like in the 27th floor with a whole city to my feet and the picture quality differences speaks for themselves, especially at low light. otherwise the 1+2 cam is fine but not to take picture in the distance properly is an issue, maybe it will get fixed through an update.
I recommend the G4. I like stock android but in my opinion the LG UX was good to go. Its really not that much of a big deal. The cam is great, the battery life fair and u can swap battery and expand storage. The 1+2 does better at flashing and u dont loose warranty through BL unlock, only time will tell. Once they fix fingerprint for CM roms or until M is out and FP becomes native, I cant recommend 1+2 over G4. Or atleast they have to update oxygenos bc the current state is problematic, maybe CM roms are better but right now they lack laser-autofocus and fingerprint so thats a no-go for me. On the other hand OOS 2.1 will be out by the mid of the month, so maybe its worth the wait since its a 2.1 bigger update. Im positive 1+ will give their best but at the end of the day only real life performance counts even if they put much effort in it.
When it comes to build quali I prefer the 1+2 over the G4. The leather back is awesome but the chrome finish on the sides isnt my thing. both feel really good in the hand tho but the alu sides of the 1+2 makes it feel more premium. If u choose the 1+2 btw, be aware of the style swap covers. I bought it in china in the experience store, so Im talking about oem accessories. I bought the rosewood and kevlar back but they are thicker and make the phone more bulky. The standard sandstone covers finishes with the alu sides but the others stand out a little bit. Could be an aestethic problem.

And I love LG because I never won a phone b4. They gave me a brand LG G4 H815 for Trial and to keep.
@shiboby
And I just brought a G Flex 2 H959 FLAMINGOS RED SD810 run great with the latest LG firmware 5.1.1. No overheating or lagging whatsoever issue. A great phone with a good price now. This also the one you should consider.

cm13

Why not have cm 13 for lg gpro ??????
That´s the reason why my next phone will definitely be a Nexus...
Because our Cyanogenmod maintainer has not updated our phone's kernel (probably missing) and we don't have info on what google_msm kernel/CAF kernel repos or anything we need to update to MM..

There is Marshmallow for LG Optimus G (E975). Also there is Android 6 for Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One (M7) both on Snapdragon 600 so why not for our Optimus G Pro? Is there any hope for our phones?

I don't want to float anyone's boat, but E975 is much widely used... and is basically Nexus 4, so they use everything from there. S4 and M7 are much much more popular than this damn device, so yeah... that's pretty much why
I'm working on 6.0 bringup, but I have issues - not only from software side, but from hardware side too: my battery is slowly dying (and I can't find proper replacement), and looks like my usb board (or connector, let's hope its connector) died this morning, I can't do anything but charge it with all four cables I have and thats it... no serial connection means no data transfer, no adb access, no logs. It basically renders phone useless for any work.
I'm kind of sick of this phone, so I'm not sure I'll even keep this phone anymore... so my efforts towards M bringup are halted for undetermined period.

This phone is at the end of it's development life. We had a good run while it lasted. I ordered a Nexus 6 this week and will be moving on shortly. I'm keeping the E980 as a backup so I'll still try to tinker around with it but for daily use it is time to move on.

Why? I bought my G Pro last year for 240 euro brand new . Its in perfectly good condition, I don't see any reason to replace it . Screen is still fantastic, it has good enough performance, battery life is good - I menage to use it for 2-2,5 day.

While that is great you enjoy your device, the only reason we have custom ROMs on this device in first place is basically a complete hack, and also we have gotten no support from LG at all. All of this combined makes for a very unsatisfactory reputation for this device and hence why development is no longer very active and I do not expect it to pick up activity any time soon or ever (I could bbe be mistaken but this is just my opinion).
Yes, so sad for gpro
So, do you think the same level of support as the G Pro (i.e. minimal to non existent) can be expected on the V10?

Maybe not even that, because OEMs are getting really good about locking bootloaders and such nowadays.
Well as an owner of an E986 for about 2years 9 months and using it a lot of time every day I can confirm that this device is a beast, good performance, good battery,quality... and its like I bought it yesterday! Its so sad seeing G Pro slowly dying... I really hope it will be lucky with cm13
There might be a vietnamese marshmallow/6.0 project. @duongthinh441 mentioned it.
