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...

There's already a good number os ports from Nexus 4 (Carbon, slim, xylon, EOS, Orca, PA, etc...) you can find them here:
http://main.develoid.com:82/lg/Optimus G/CustomRom/
So, probably you don't need to port ...Maybe update them

I'd love to help you with the port question but honestly I have no idea about how that works haha
Maybe this will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223690

Thank you guys!! Seriously i had no idea i would get so many replies! Thank You

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..,

Hey! Just wanted to ask
Will this phone last me a year from now without any lag on games and stuff?? Is 18,000 a good enough score?? Will it get all crappy in one year like my dads s3??? Please I need these answers.
Thank you guys
Please reply asap as I'd like to buy my new phone this week

[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.

Yeah download DOT cyanogenmod DOT org/?device=e980&type= there is a stable release for CM 10.2 right now which is 4.3.1. and nightlies for CM 11 which is 4.4.2 or Kit Kat.

And can I flash them if they are not for my device anyway? Because the LG Optimus G Pro isn't supported yet is it?

Another option, if you don't want to flash a custom rom: stock rom + root + xposed framework ☺

What can I do with this xposed-framework?
Gesendet von meinem LG-E986 mit Tapatalk

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

Custom ROM? Or Wait and Pray?

Hey guys I love the stock but I'm in the mood for something new. So I'm wondering what do people think? Should I flash a ROM and which are good? Or wait and pray the AT&T and LG release the update soon? The only problem I have is last time I had a cyanogen mod I had trouble updating when I used a back up so should I leave everything stock how it is or install a ROM?

HD2 is legendary. I still have mine and occasionally stop by the HD2 forums to check whats up... This phone is a different league but the likes of HD2 Dev support is too much to ask I guess.

For some people.Some think stock is better...and some like CM like myself......it's user preference. Stability or features ? That's what people choose sides for....oh the life of android:beer:

G3 L Port?

Recently the LG Optimus G got an Android L Port. Do you think we'll get a port of L, and if so, when?

Developer Preview had been released. That's what they have been porting over to other devices.

The phone doesn't have any similarities other than being from the same company. It will be very hard to port something like that**

If they got it from N5 to G, then the possibilities (with great devs) are pretty limitless.

They didn't get it from the nexus 5, they got it from the nexus 4 that got it from the nexus 5. The nexus 4 and optimus G are soo close together as far as internals that there is a mod that you can change an optimus G to a nexus 4 (as far as software). Where you can actually flash nexus 4 roms onto a Optimus G. Which is why that phone is able to get android L because it's fairly easy to port to.
This phone is great but it has little devwork (yet). So I wouldn't expect a port at all because by the time development really starts android L will already be out.

Optimus G to Nexus 4 link.
Also most of the variants of the LG G3 bootloaders are locked with no solution yet. So things are going to be slow until then as well. As of now it's only the international and that's not enough to spark things.

Ah OK that makes more sense. But the BL's are very close to being unlocked, according to autoprimes Twitter, so hopefully soon!

I have to agree with misterowl, I'd doubt it for a while at least. I mean, we don't even have AOSP/CM/PA yet, so a L port is almost out of the question. But damn, Id love a Cm port. that would be nice.

I'm sure when everything is situated you don't have to wish for a CM port because we'll probably have official support due to it being a current flagship.

I hope your right. Even though stock LG rom isn't terribly bad, I do miss my Aokp.

lets first get AOSP 4.4.2, then we can talk about android L, its way too early to talk about that when the bootloader is still lock and there aren't any device configurations on github for devs to build the ROMS

[Q] Stability of GPE ROMs?

Hey, so I'm currently using Insane Kit Kat v4. It's good, nothing really worth keeping it for over stock is there? I just read about Lollipop GPE being available in a few weeks, what's the stability of the GPE Roms when they first come to the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 forums?
The Kit Kat GPE ROM hasn't been updated since August, but it came out several months earlier, what was the stability of that ROM when it first came out? This might give me an idea of the upcoming stability of Lollipop.
Any degradation of data speeds or call quality? (I know pictures will be slightly less clear)
Thanks!

To me there a little sketchy because it is a new rom but as time goes they fix the bugs but its totally up to you

Uhhh... the Google Play Edition ROMS are pretty much solid as a rock. They aren't source-built AOSP with weekly and nightly builds that creates 5 bugs to fix one, they are factory made images for release. You can't go wrong with any of them, whether it's stock theme, modded, from Android 4.2.2 through 4.4.4, regardless of what developer released it, they are all pretty stable.
