[Q] Vk810 CM11 Suggestions - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, for some reason xda won't let me post to the development forums, so I'm posting this here, and I hope paperWastage sees it. I am curious if we could make something happen with CM11 by porting parts from the LG Optimus G PRO. It has the same processor and gpu, and I assume some other similar stuff. Just a thought for those more inclined.

[REQUEST] LG Optimus S and T forums

Well, since the other thread doesnt appear to be getting any sort of attention, is there any way we can get an LG Optimus S and T forum here? This is becoming a pretty popular phone, and anyone who has actually used one, will admit it is a very under rated phone.
Its not the same as the P500, so i think it deserves its own forum??? Thanks in advance!!

[Q] No LG Vortex forum?

So, i'm pretty new here. i figured that this would be the best place to find stuff out about my phone, as i'm really into hacking my devices. however, thought this site has sections for almost every device, the LG Vortex is not a device i can find almost anywhere on this site. Is there a subforum i'm completely missing, or something i don't know? Or do i just have to ask for the section to be created?
Thanks for helping a noob out.

Rooted LG Vortex, 2.2.2
um, hello?
If I'm not mistaken, the LG Vortex is a variant of the LG Optimus One released under a different name for Verizon.
so then, its would be ok to discuss it in the optimums one forum(s)?
Bump?

Google your phone. See if it has any other names. Look for those on here.

I know, and i have. I am now fairly certain the Vortex and the Optimums One are the same, however, I would like proof from someone a little more qualified than me. I just don't want to brick this thing. I can't replace it, and I depend on it for day-to-day life.

Haven't seen anything about the Vortex there. Its on of the reasons I'm hesitant.

Optimus G for developmental purposes

I was recently talking with a fellow xda friend about expanding my developmental work to more/different devices and it was recently suggested that the LG Optimus G would be a good place to start. So, what im asking for is either a lg optimus g phone that someone is willing to donate or an optimus g that someone would like to let me borrow for a bit. I do not believe in 'blind porting' or putting out work for devices that i can not personally test myself to ensure that they are up to par before release. I have been developing for about a year now and have contributed to the Samsung Infuse4g forums during that time. You can check out my work from the links in the signature or by visiting the samsung infuse4g threads. You can also take a look at my source files at http://www.github.com/scotthartbti. Please rest assured that if a phone is donated, I will put in work so that the optimus G community benefits. Please PM me with any questions or concerns you may have.
The problem is, there's quite a few Optimus G out there, so which one do you want? Location is an issue too.
You can get a Optimus G for $300 of Kijiji.

Since im asking for developmental purposes, im not going to be picky... Doesnt really matter... the point of asking for a developmental phone for donation is so that i can develop for the Optimus G and not take a hit in the wallet doing so... Im located in the USA.

I believe he means there a god only knows how many versions of the handset, and they are not completely compatible.
So if you buy an E973 for example, rest 80% Optimus G users will be out.
The best choice, would be the E975 EU model. Im sure, it supports more languages ( i guess ). Its pretty new in EU.
We really need a CM dev or aokp/aosp dev here.
I know LG is knowen for slow updates to their phones. But with some gr8 devs, thats not a problem
Im getting this phone tomorrow and im a bit scared of the lack of devs here. I really hope, there will be some more activity in the devs section soon. Or els im sure im going back to HTC again. This is lg's last chance with me

Lg optimus G e975 10a,good!!

Thanks for the info. Thats why I started this thread asking for a donator optimus. I have gotten the infuse to the cm10 stage unofficially and have been maintaining it since day one. You guys need developers, find me a phone. That way the community will have more variety and I'll be able to develop on a different device. Check out the infuse forums and you will see that I'm definitely capable.
Hopefully that doesn't come off sounding to cocky.

I'd rather see some LG based ROMs... Stock ROMs are nice and all, but the LG has done a very good job with their software.

[Q] Is there no Android 5.0 development possible from the Nexus 5 preview code?

I can't think of any other way to ask the question so forgive me for that convoluted topic, but I'm honestly curious. I just got a G2 yesterday, spent hours getting it figured out, read a few hundred posts and dozens of threads, finally got CloudyG3 running great on it and now I figured I'd pose the question.
Because the Nexus 5 preview of Android 5.0 has been out for a while, and there are quite a few ROMs based on that, and because the LG G2 and the Nexus 5 share basically the same hardware across the board, I'm really wondering why there doesn't seem to be any interest whatosever (or from what I can tell) in potentially porting that over to the LG G2? Is this device really that far out of bounds at this point in time - I say that because I know the "crowds" flock to the most popular devices for ROM development by nature, and that's fine.
I'm not knocking the amazing work of each and every dev here at XDA Developers - it is after all a forum for them, not casual users like myself, so I'm happy to be able to partake of the products and ROMs they create for so many of us to actually put to use.
It just seems a bit odd to me I suppose that the G2 and the N5 are basically the same devices when you really dig into the hardware specs (with some differences, obviously, but they share far more in common than they don't). I mean, I remember when the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G came out and there was a ton of stuff you could do between them since again they were basically the same devices in different packaging much like the N5 and the G2 happen to be also.
Is there something I'm missing here, something that flat out makes porting over any version of that Nexus 5 Android 5.0 preview code to the G2 impossible? Or is it just not worth the time for whoever to do it - I'm not a dev at all, don't have nearly the talent for this kind of stuff that so many others do so, I'm a dead end myself.
This CloudyG3 port of the G3 stock ROM is damned nice, it really is, it's like a totally different device in many respects with enhanced features the G2 has always been capable of anyway (the 4K video recording, etc) and this ROM brings that out.
I'm just wondering now what LG has in mind for their initial G2 Android 5.0 release after the first of the year.
Anyway, just thought I'd toss the question out there as I can't find a single thing related to this here or at the LG G2 subforum either. If it's absolutely not possible, I can comprehend that - it's just that the hardware is so similar I have to wonder why nobody has put forth any effort at all, I guess.
Comments and discussion are always welcome...
We don't need or want to port the preview lollipop version from the nexus. The g2 is going to have have an update to lollipop 5.0 either Jan or Feb. The lg g3 will be getting 5.0 before us so a dev may port that rom before our official update. Also cm12 should be coming out this month so we will have a 5.0 lollipop very soon. Hope that answers your question

It's a start I suppose, just seemed weird that the preview code has been available for quite some time and apparently nobody considered it worthy of a porting attempt.
And yes, I realize that when Lollipop drops for the G3 someone (Cloudyfa, hopefully, because of his excellent CloudyG3 for the G2) will most likely do their best to port it over fast, probably before we even see the official G2 build appear which will be pretty cool.
Fun times ahead...
I also think it is due to it being just a preview. No developers feel it is solid enough to work with.
I also agree that it is strange that the g2 and nexus 5 are almost completely alike except camera of course. But no real change of Roms.
Look into the non sprint development. And you will find many support the ls980. You just have to look hard. Being that every carrier and international worldwide have this phone.
