[Q] Stock Android - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone!
I wasn't able to find anything yet but is there a way to get a stock android on the LG G3? Or is anyone working on it?

If its not in the development forum, thats a good indication that it is not up 100% yet

Well it probably won't be 100% pure stock Android like on Nexus devices. It will be another ROM such as Cyanogen, PA, AOKP etc.

Why do you automatically assume it will be buggy?
CM is used as stock roms on quite a few phones these days, its far from buggy.
There is a chance that it might not play well with the hardware on some phones, but you cannot automatically assume that this will be the case.

I thought there is a Google Play Store edition of the LG G3? If so, we would have a stock Android ROM made for this device, or am i misunderstanding something here?

Your theory would be correct.... Except there is no GPE G3.

Thirsty for a Google Edition S 3.

Am I the only one that's thirsty for a Google Edition S 3?
Anybody think it would be actually possible to port a 4.2.2 (Google Edition S 4) ROM to our S3?
There both based on 4.2.2, just a thought! I flashed the Google Edition S 4 ROM and it said optimizing xx/88 apps so some things have to be compatible with our ROM!

The whole ROM didn't flash, like no changes.. I did a dirty flash and it said optimizing apps.
Not sure what apps it flashed.
Why though? Its a touchwiz ROM with touch wiz framework with aosp looks and apps, there are like 5 different ROMs for outlr phone like that already...

Because, I want a Google Edition ROM.
It's different from any other ROM, don't find anything that looks the same.

4.3 Google Edition ROM got leaked, it even got ported to the T-Mobile GS 4.
What are the new features. And it won't happen for a port for us. But AOSP 4.3 will be pushed soon then

Why won't it happen? Porting 4.3 or 4.2.2 isn't possible?
I'm not sure about the new features, It's still Jelly Bean that's all I know.
So has anyone got 4.3 running on our device?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It's not possible because the TW Kernel source is not available. Therefore, the devs cannot create a working kernel to support 4.2.2 TW on our phone (or 4.3 for that matter).
Isn't the "Google Edition" just a complied AOSP build for said device? You could just built it for the d2tmo from the sources.
EDIT: I was thinking of the Nexus series devices, I believe that they are straight AOSP.

Nope, Google Edition still has Touchwiz in it.
Google Edition isn't pure AOSP.

People already have ported 4.2.2 and 4.3 Google Edition which both have Touchwiz in them though.
Even though the Kernel Source isn't available, they've still been ported..

Do research before you actually think it's a bad idea.
It's Touchwiz with Touchwiz removed, only a small piece of TW is in it, rest is AOSP.

No, not on our phone! Just asking if it was possible, but I got a few answers and I heard "No".

Is 4.3 on the G pad?

Sorry if this an obvious question, but I'd really like to know if I'd have to root/unlock it to flash some more recent Android version.
Speaking of which, how difficult is it to flash/unroot?
At least put an effort into researching.

No there are no roms for this tablet at this time.

Lmao post with no answer.. put some effort its just 2-3 keys "no" then "yes" WOOT!
No man not yet. They do have plans to.
It's true that the answer is a simple no. But I had to learn the hard way when I first jumped into this site a few years ago that people do not like to be asked questions that are easy to answer. You don't even have to look on this website. Simply look at the spec sheet on LG's website and you will see that it comes with 4.2 .2. There is already a rootkit out for the device but no roms at this time. I honestly don't think you need a newer version at this time. 4.2 .2 jelly bean does everything you need in my opinion. Otherwise get a Nexus device. I have a Nexus 4 running Kit Kat Paranoid Android and Franco kernel and I couldn't be happier. But when it comes to my tablet I just wanted for basic consumption and a stock Android is perfectly fine. Just my opinion.

What is it that you are going to gain from updating to 4.3? The bigger number? There is a lot more that can be improved in the ROM than going to 4.3

How can I get CM11 on the 8.4 or any other custom rom

I guess since the device just came out there is not much to customize other than plain rooting, am I right or is there another place I can look for such stuff?

The unofficial CM 11 linked above is actually quite stable. There's some missing features and a couple things that don't quite work (BT, camcorder) but it doesn't crash or run poorly.

Ahhh! I didn't even think of the GPe...
Yes there are two versions of the HTC One M8, one running Android 4.4.2 with HTC's Sense 6 overlay and the other running Android 4.4.2 with the stock Google Now Launcher (basically looks like Android on the Nexus 5). As for which is better, some will say stock Android others will say Sense but with HTC making their apps available for the GPe it might be worth getting that and then adding the HTC apps you want
Thanks for the info all

Yep. We'll probably get a heck of a lot quicker via a ROM.

HTC has confirmed it will arrive on the M7 and M8 within 90 days of public release.

Well when you say "stock" it could mean many different things. "stock" htc rom is sense. "stock" google is AOSP.
but i know what you mean, that's why I'm glad buck still works on his AOSP rom. It's built really well for AOSP on the M7

GPE is nice, and its cool that @santod040 released 4.4.4.(props for being fast and first to do so) might have to try this. 4.4.4 runs great on my N7
As for the over heating, those that were on CM were getting the over heating problem and although CM is technically AOSP its still highly modified AOSP. All the AOSP roms we have, besides bucks, uses CM tree. So they all inherit the same problems.

Yeah, it's still not the full source code for the 'L" platform though.
So it would take some hackery to make it work on the m7 and without "L" binaries and proprietaries for the m7, it wouldn't be all that functional, in my opinion.

Patiently Waiting
I've enjoyed experimenting with the current custom ROMS available now. Can't wait to see what comes about once Android L is officially out. Until then, I'll be patiently waiting.
Not Official
I have been using CyanogenMod 12, so it isn't "official" but I have enjoyed using it
