Hey there,
I'm not that n00b when it comes to Android (battery calibration is no secret to me, my phone is rooted, I can use CWM, etc/whatever) but I've never flashed any ROM or Kernel. But after buying an MHL cable and noticing that my phone (T999V) is not fast-charging even though the usb cable is connected to a power adapter, I felt the need to flash a custom kernel which supports fast-charging (don't wanna get another cable!).
After a bit of research, I decided to settle on Leankernel. BUT...then I learned that it wouldn't work with the stock, Touchwiz ROM (only CM10 or AOSP, and maybe AOKP). To make it worse, I learned that NFC on CM10 is broken, and that since Qualcomm's code is not open source, using CM10 will result in the CPU working at only about 60% of its full capacity...
Could anybody help me a bit on this confusing endeavor? I do have to advise that I won't be turning flash-crazy, flashing nightlies and etc, I want something fast and stable, that I'll be keeping for a while (got at least 55 apps installed...don't wanna re-install them several times a month...and not even every month).

so what is your question exactly? are you looking for a recommendation on what ROM you should run?
if that is the case, i would recommend infamous. and check out my thread here in Q and A about flashing ROMs...
good luck

Yes, I was looking for a recommendation. Sorry, I realized that the title of my thread was not the best but it was too late...! In the best of worlds, I basically want to flash a kernel that has USB fast-charge that can work on stock touchwiz. I would want to use Leankernel but I would have to flash AOSP on my phone. By the way, is there anything such as pure un-modded AOSP and where can I find it?
I came across a used G Pad 8.3 about 10 days ago for a $130, so I decided to snag it based on the cheap price. It was rooted & running CM11 and I used it as it was for the first week as I've installed CM on many of my older devices and enjoy it. Since day one I've noticed that wifi download speeds have not been good, though Web pages, YouTube videos and the like don't seem to have any real problems? When downloading a 200mb file I see speeds of 50-130kbps and it takes roughly 20mins to finish. The same file on other Android devices I own are finishing six or seven minutes. I've tested it with various files and devices. Thinking the problem may have been related to the Rom installation by the previous owner, I downloaded "CM 11 by Infected", reflashed the base and tested with the included kernel as well as "Red Kernel". Still, the problem has remained. I haven't tried returning to the stock LG Rom since I really prefer AOSP, but I'm afraid that may be my only resort? Is this a known issue with AOSP or CM for the V500? The device is in excellent condition with no signs of wear, so I don't believe the hardware itself could be damaged. I've searched the forums thoroughly and I've seen the problem reported by another user but no one provided any replies. I'm posting as a last resort before flashing LG's official firmware, and hoping someone is familiar with this problem. Is anyone using AOSP based Roms with no wifi problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help, or offer any personal experience.
Sincerely,
Androholic
My v500 is running slimkat with redkernel and it runs at the same speed as my other devices for downloads. I have heard of certain devices not playing nice with certain routers before... Can you try a different WiFi access point to see if it only occurs with the one you normally use?
I had the same problem: turns out it was my router's fault, an old Thomson.
Try the download speed with different access points
Well I ended up flashing 4.4.2 stock rooted rom, and the wifi seems to be functioning as normal now. I never take the tablet out of the house with me, as I have an ipad air with LTE I use outside of the house. Either way I've found that after some tweaking and debloating the stock LG Rom is not so bad. I may eventually do some testing on a different router using CM, but for now at least I'll just stick with the stock rom. Thank you both for your replies, it's much appreciated.
So my Dad decided he doesn't like his G3 - I know, he's crazy. So we have decided to swap phones. I had a Nexus 5 which I loved. I'm looking to get the G3 as close to stock lollipop as I possibly can as my Fun Prevention Officer (wife) has the Gold G3 and I'm less than impressed with the standard ROM.
I've had a look through the threads here searching about for a stock ROM and it seems there are plenty available but I wanted to get some opinions on what you guys think is the most stable.
I'm well up on ADB, rooting etc so I don't need help with the method, just your opinions on the 'best' , most stable closest to stock Lollipop ROM.
Cheers dudes and dudesses.

Hello, I'm new on the formus but I have tried several stock rom versions for my variant (D855). I think that Cloudy G 2.1 is one of the best lollipop stock rom version you can try. It is updated to the latest (20F) version, it's debloated and bumped and it is pretty stable (the only bug I know is the bluetooth issues present in all stock versions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
Finally keep in mind that we have a Official CM 12 build in the Android Original development section that works flawless in case you like (much more like AOSP).

Thanks straim. I'm looking for something closer to the Nexus 5 really. I saw the Official CM12 had been released but wasn't sure on the stability being a nightly.

If you want stock close to LG: Cloudy: stable
If you want stock close to "naked" android: CM12: I would not use it as a daily driver yet, but i'll sure do in a more stable state.
Thanks raptor. I guess stability would come above stock Android in my priorities list. I'll give Cloudy a whirl...

That's for sure, CM is fantastic but they need a bit of time to make it good. Cloudy is a good transition phase. Guess LG's rom is pretty good.
There are other Roms in the dev section, but I haven't really looked at them.

Yeah I had a glance through them.
Cloudy it is then. At least until CM gets an M release out....
Thanks again all.

The bug causes audio glitches and sometimes is necessary to unlink an link the device to avoid issues like battery drain. You can seek something like "Bluetooth|car audio issues" in general or q&a forums for more information.
Ps: I use cm 12 as daily driver.
What about for me that I use wireless headphones, will that affect me?

I recommend you stick with stock roms (Cloudy or ChupaChups), as the AOSP roms like CyanogenMod have dreadful camera software and quality. It's like you're back from LG G3 to a Nexus 4 camera, it's s**t! Sound volumes are also lower on AOSP, has something to do with drivers i think... But for the rest, cyanogenmod is stable, quick, light on the battery, and real pleasing to the eyes as it's one of the best looking roms on the market with themes support and all... But if you want to make the best out of your G3, use Cloudy G3 2.1. It's as fast and light on resources as cyanogenmod 12, as good looking if you flash the Lollipop theme (link on the first page of Cloudy thread), but you get to keep the amazing camera quality and sound volumes of the stock rom. After 2 months of flashing and testing roms on my G3, i can say, Cloudy has the winner here, hands down!

Thanks! What does ChupaChups have that cloudy doesn't?

So what's the latest on Cyanogenmod? Is it stable yet? I used it for a while a few months ago but would have random locks and have to do a battery pull.
I have Cloudy 2.2 at the moment but honestly, I'm not a fan. I really want CM12 but only if it's stable.
What's the verdict?
can't go past full stock ( regular updates with http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073 ), and G3 TweaksBox. works like a charm even though TweaksBox and the Xposed framework are both in alpha
Does someone compare the last versions of Cloudy and Chupa Chups ?
Hi there, G Pad folks!
May I ask for some ROM recommendations? Since I use my G Pad mostly for watching movies & YouTube in bed and sometimes gaming in my yard, I see no reason to still use the stock KK ROM.
So, which ROM is the most powerfull? Also I'll be glad if I could get some recommendations on some performance kernels (if there are any) too. I don't really care about power consumption since my lovely G Pad is almost always docked, so if OverClocking is possible too, I'm not affraid of it either!
Many thanks in advance!
Hi! I expect you probably have the V500 variant, but there are other incompatible variants of the G Pad 8.3, like my VK810 4G. You should specify which you have. If you do did and I missed it, ignore me. ?
Oh, please excuse my mistake! Here is my current "setup":
V500 model, stock KK 4.4.2, build KOT49I.V50020d, rooted and TWRP flashed (probably outdated, haven't updated since 2013 lol)
Generally speaking, LiquidSmooth is actually a nice ROM for the V500. It's not officially supported so you will use a beta build. Also, please clarify on "Powerful". Do you mean the fastest ROM, the one with the most feature? etc.. It would help a lot.
I would use mine...

I meant the fastest, without any useless features, just raw power As I stated, it will be used for gaming, watching movies/youtube and other multimedia stuff (music etc.). Also I would be glad if I could get rid of that really bad gamma, so a kernel with OC and display correction capabilities would be nice
Also, is there any big performance difference between KK and 5.1 LP? (in meaning of G Pad ROMs)
IMHO, Lollipop is generally much smoother and faster for me. However, I went from Lg Stock 4.4.2. to CM 12 and a few other L roms so I can't really say. For you use case, LiquidSmooth and Paranoid Android would probably be your best bet. If you want to stay with KitKat, I think there may be a Slimbean ROM out somewhere but don't quote me on it. However, for your use case, I think CM would be a pretty safe bet. It's fast with a good amount of quality features and the V500 is officially supported. Also, I'm not really sure what games really stress out the G Pad but I play Real Racing 3, Modern Combat 5, and a few other games without any noticeable lag.
Hello XDA,
I'm experiencing some issues with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T). I am currently running Resurrection Remix (v.5.7.3) with Dynamic Gapps 6.x.x 20160812, You might be wondering why I'm telling you this. Well, just recently I decided to install a custom ROM on my phone and now I'm running in "charging slowly" issues.
I have tried factory wipe and clear cache partition. Then reinstalling the ROM, and same issue. A quick look up on Resurrection Roms websites and I could tell I'm the only one experiencing this issue, because no one else is complaining. Any help would be appreciated. I'm starting to think it might be hardware related / physical damage to the phone? But then again, I wasn't experiencing this issue with the stock ROM / TouchWiz, and I haven't dropped the phone.
You might want to try another kernel?
I bought my Note 3 when it was first released. Since then, I've bought a couple of new cables. Anytime that I've had issues with the device charging slowly and/or discharging while plugged in, it was resolved with a new cable. Your mileage may vary, but something to consider anyhow.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Labs
It showed me the same thing when I flashed Resurrection 6.0.1
Always showed that it was charging slowly. It's probably normal, idk
