LG has just informed us via a press release that they will be rolling out the Lollipop upgrade to the LG G3 next week. Starting in Poland. LG is claiming to be first to roll out the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. While Motorola has started their soak test for Lollipop on the Moto X (2014), they haven’t started the official rollout just yet. While LG is starting the rollout in Poland we should be seeing it in other countries shortly later on. For those of us in the US, it’ll be closer to December, due to the carriers.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a ton of new features. But for the LG G3, the most notable ones will be the battery and camera features that Google has added. Like Project Volta. The battery life on the Nexus 6 is pretty good, and I’m interested to see how the LG G3 does with the Lollipop update.
It looks like the developer preview at Google I/O this year really helped out the OEMs as we’re already seeing leaks of the LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and other devices with Lollipop on board and this is the third device slated to get Lollipop this month that’s not a Nexus. Wonder if LG is going to beat the Nexus devices this year? It’s quite possible as the Nexus 5 isn’t going to be getting the update til at least November 12th.
Too bad it will look nothing like Lollipop.

That's true. Lollipop is really nice looking on my nexus 7. But won't it help developers to base their roms on the release to make it look like stock?
Yeah that really upset me. Lollipop looks fantastic and doesn't look anything like it.

Nice, despite the whiners and crybabies talking about how it doesn't look like lollipop, they should have known that when they bought the skinned LG g3,why would this update be any different lol... I'm happy LG is doing this update right! Can't wait!

Rooted but not a custom rom here...any idea how the upgrade for us is going to go? Do we need to go back to stock to upgrade?
It doesn't look like Lollipop, IE: it doesn't look like a Nexus device. That's a shocking revelation, and I am appalled. I figured that LG would completely scrap their own UI, and just stick AOSP lollipop on the phone, simply shocking. That said, until ART works with xposed, I'll be rocking KK. Not a big deal either way, and in all seriousness, you folks can't be shocked that LG is keeping their UI, right? Right? Just like every other OEM who skins android.
Got a Nexus 6 ordered so just unrooted and returned to stock awaiting 4.4.4, then will put the LG G3 up for sale.
Damn. And I just ordered my Note 4.
My question is when will there be a stock AOSP 5.0 rom for the G3? This phone is a monster in the spec field, and I want to keep it. I would like to flash a vanilla lollipop rom, however.
So apparently the D855 variant has a leaked build of lollipop booting with no issues...wondering what needs to be done for it to work on the D851? Are the firmwares even compatible?
+1 ....are there any d851 devs alive out there? This feels like the Jedi's are damn near extinct in our neck of the woods.

That leaked build was paid for by donations. The guy bought the build from LGBB with donations from other forum members. Be patient, CM12 is being worked on and it will be out when its ready.

I wasn't being impatient. I was merely asking questions. Of which you answered none. But thanks for the info anyways.
I would also like to see lollipop ported over to the d851 seems like theres no love on our side can a dev plz port this over for our beloved device willing to donate im sure a lot off us will ...
Really! ? The nexus doesn't even have it yet. These things take time. I can't imagine any of the devs are just sitting around saying they aren't interested in 5.0. If you really want it, s start building! Or wait quietly, but don't criticize the folks who do this for you for free!

Hoping the wi-fi calling source code is included in the upcoming updates to Lollipop.
I dont understand why some folks on xda feel the need to add useless comments in response to a question.. Would it not be better to just (putting it nicely) not respond if you can't help, instead of insulting..
You can consider my comment useless if you want. But you would be better off telling it to someone who cares about what you think.
Can't wait for lollipop!
Sammobile and other sites have leaked recently that the Note II will be getting Android 5.0. Anyone giving any credence to this claim?
Search is your best friend. https://carbonrom.org/on-to-sweeter...l&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Ummm... thanks, I think. I'd already searched, that's how I saw the Sammobile article. The link you provided talks about a Carbon ROM -- nothing to do with Android 5.0. My purpose in starting this thread was to solicit other peoples' opinions on the likelihood of getting Android 5.0 on our TMOS Note IIs.
note 2 may get android l 5.0 but i got a feeling it's gonna be a long time before t-mobile drops it if they drop it at all

Didn't the Note 2 reach EOL for Stock OEM development ?
Hope we get an international or AOSP Android 5 ROM for XMAS!
As the owner of a Nexus 7 2013 LTE (deb), I can't help but feel as if nobody - especially not El Goog, actually give a frak about this device:
No Lollipop OTA yet
No Lollipop Factory Images
Hardly any roms
And not a single word from Google about the first two. Nada.
Now I've been using the one of two Lollipop roms actually available for the device, and I'm liking it, but I would have liked CM or Slimrom or any other custom variation (GROGG88's version is excellent, but I like to have variation to choose form - and now that we don't have xposed it's more important than ever).
I'd like to hear from you users and developers: Until Google step up their game (and even when they do), what do you think we can do to improve deb compatibility and rom variation?
Developers, is there any specific reason you develop for flo exclusively? (other than - I'm assuming - that it's the only device you've got?)
Bare in mind that this is an open discussion thread, I'm not blaming or requesting anything from anyone. Let's just talk about it.
I own a deb device. And agree that support is limited. I have grogg88's rom installed and must say it's one of the best available. I do also have cm installed. But wish there was more available. Hopefully Google will release the update soon
Of course it's not abandonware. Stupid question. Lollipop only came out 1 month ago and still has major problems on the devices running it.

This. With all the issues being reported on this forum alone, I have no desire to update to 5.0 or 5.0.1. I want all the new bells, whistles, and pretty colors, but 4.4.4 does everything I need and want.
I'm really hoping the GravityBox devs will find a way to get it to work with ART soonish.
So back in June of this year (only 4 months ago) there was an article on XDA about how Google had released open source coding for Wifi calling, ( http://www.xda-developers.com/google-open-source-code-for-wi-fi-calling/ ) So I am asking if this project has moved forward in any way over the last 4 months, and could any of the AOSP based Roms here have the T-Mobie wifi calling feature anytime soon? I don't know where else to check and can't find any additional info. Thanks for any input you may have.
I would also like to know if this is possible
I was hopeful some of the devs would respond here, but no luck so far. I have heard from one Slim Rom dev (@aclegg2011) that he didn't think any development was being done using this Google released coding. He said it was possible when Marshmallow came out. My question is if Google released the code back in June in a version of 5.1.1, I am just wondering why the devs are ignoring that development. Its puzzling to me that here 5 months later, nothing other than stock has implemented this feature even though Wifi Calling is T-Mo's bread and butter and really one of their main claims to fame. I think Google admitted that when they released this coding back in June. Maybe more response will come in. Thanks to everyone.
Its, sad to hear that some devices like S3 Neo got the Lollipop but our not, but the real answer is that S3 Neo will not get Lollipop update, maybe future updates based on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 will come but Lollipop update not, just stop to hope to get an official Lollipop update from Samsung.
I just wanted to share it with you! I hoped it as well, but it will not come!

It will get lollipop youmobile is only uk...
Germany samsung told me that it is likely we are going to get it he didn't say no uk will not likely get it
that tweet is from July . that's old news. also there is a GT-I9301i ( aka neo+ in some regions ) that has 1.5 ram and good processor. That may get updated. Also. i don't care any more They can shove the update when the sun don't shine. They released 50 phone variants and now they can't update all of them and playing the : it can't run that android version bull**** . This will probably be my first and last Samsung device.
