Now that all G3s can be bootloader unlocked via Bump!! When do you guys think ROMS like PA, Vanir, AOKP and an official release of CM be available to us?
More info about bump > http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Lmao. Dude you do realize our boot loader was never locked. Good luck waiting. I think most devs are turned off to this phone.
g3 soon to be NOTE 4
Tmos was always unlocked, but we're not much to the entire development community. With all variants unlocked, devs have more of an incentive to make roms. Plain and simple.

Be patient grasshopper now that the bootloader is unlocked it could be any day now for new rom releases
I'm thinking some developers might not want to mess with KitKat when Andorid L is coming out.

To what? That ****astic note 4 with that dumpster fire of a UI? This phone will see development pick up. Most of the community is waiting on the new nexus line to be released.

The only LG phone I seen with plenty of development wast the LG Nexus 4 and LG Nexus 5 and those werent really full LG projects.
The phones with the most development are usually the HTC / Samsung / Nexus devices.
I knew that when I purchased the G3 but this phone is now going to my phone and il be on Note 4.
The best thing to hit this G3 was Auto Prime HotSpot Tethering hack. Something I hope comes to the Note 4.
I like trying new roms but I'm so happy with this phone that I'm content with Zone, tweaksbox, and xposed.
I love the functions out of the box... Plus 32gb, awesomeness. I'll most likely pick up the g4 as my next phone. Nexus 6 looks tempting but that would be just to play with and use every now and then. I'm almost positive that the camera app won't be nearly as good as the G3.
Luckily they are out right now! Woot woot
New rooms every day out seems, but the cm based ones still have camera and bt issues not for long I suppose!

Were still on beta's with missing features, I'd say hopefully within the new year we'll have full functionally custom roms.

Hey everyone I'm thinking of getting the LG Optimus G when it releases but the reason I'm not 100% sure yet due to their lack of updates.
So I was wondering how good is the developer community at rooting, creating ROMs, etc for past LG devices? Does LG give enough documentation to help developers or have developers been doing a pretty decent job in general?
I know this is a vague question, was just hoping someone with past LG experiences could shed some light. Thanks.

Based on how they treated my g2x... I wouldnt buy any phone by them ever again.
And even though they got a nexus line coming out at the end of the month... Im just gonna wait for one of the other 4 before I bite. LG can bite me.
If its like the 4xhd bad, 4xhd had locked boot loader and has never been unlocked
So if you want a device for development this will probably be a no go.

How big was the development community for the 4xhd?
I know there have been a number of "challenging" bootloaders that have been defeated.
In the off chance the Optimus G is a big enough hit, there is a good chance locked bootloaders will be overcome.
This seems like it will be a popular device, so a lot of dev support. If I get one in December I will do some custom romsfor the phone.

4xhd doesn't have one rom, its rooted and has cwm but no kernels or roms. Its sad really hopefully this isn't like it or it'll be a bummer
I'm hoping for some good news on the bootloader and rooting for this phone.
I'm going to wait a while and see what happens before I upgrade. If it's locked up tight, I'll be disappointed, and buy something else.
If CWM and CM10 are "quickly" in the works...
Hmm... The Korean model has been rooted. I'm crossing my fingers.
I already pre ordered mine with sprint. I'm hoping to run aosp asap
I have my fingers crossed as well.
I think the LG Optimus G has the specs and pricing to warrant a big community, although I do have to say that LG could have made more hype about it. With the SGs3 and the HOX, people are extremely interested in it, even though the US versions bring very little new to the table. Developers flocked to the devices and now you've got a humongous community.
Also, I think this is a flagship phone for the US, until the HOX+ and the new nexus devices are released, and even then it'll still be a great contender (to the HOX+ at least, not sure what the new Nexus' will bring). It's got a lot of things going it's way for a large community...
Maybe contact LG Mobile to make it unlockable for the phone to sell more and become developer friendly...

I have feeling that the LG Optimus G will be plagued with a locked bootloader. Part of LG's strategies. "If you want a more dev friendly phone, then buy our new LG Nexus 4!"

I don't think I would consider that very good, the One X+ or the GS3 are much better options to be honest. The Note 2 would be the best, but it also looks like the new nexus is coming as well.
Personally I would go with a one X or GS3 and save some cash.
Cyanogen mod doesn't support htc devices so I wouldn't go there.
*if* the optimus g gets unlocked bootloaders then we may see amazing dev support.

My mistake then, I incorrectly read somewhere that Cyanogen support had been dropped for HTC devices due to the trouble with sources and such.

That has happened partially for the Exynos Galaxy S III devices. They have broken source code for the HW acceleration driver, so codeworkx and entropy512 may abandon it.

I'll just keep mine or upgrade to the 32GB TMO version when it comes out. I'm guessing its the US Snapdragon version (compatible w/ AT&T & TMO) & we should be able to install it on ours w/o any issues. I'm all guessing here.

You shouldn't feel bad about your purchase. I'm quite happy with mine so far (except the overheating issue lately).
I don't have the AOSP version yet, so I can't really speak of the features that are/aren't going to be there.
I'm guessing if they make it true stock Android, there will be no Samsung bloat at all.
So it's basically a much more powerful version than any Nexus phone will ever be,
and as such the price is quite high. Personally, I would not consider it at that price.
I'm happy with my T-Mo, and with a few customization here or there, I can always get stock.
This is really geared toward the hard-core Android fans/developers. You can't doubt the S4 has the best internal hardware
of any phone out there, and there lies possibilities.
I also heard the news from google I/O. Does this mean that this version of the S4 will be as open as a nexus and easy for developers to make their custom ROMs for it?

Sony basically did the same thing with the ZR, took complaints and made a new phone out of it
Just purchased a 600$ Ip57 phone? Well there's IP58 now! (Waterproof not resistant)
It's good to have options, but honestly most people that buy pure vanilla Android are experienced users. Most will have no clue rather it's Vanilla or not.
So there in lies the questions. Why put this out after and most that come here that have an s4 already hacked it to death no? So I don't see the point of the users here who want to upgrade to this when you just put a vanilla type ROM on it.

CM only has bugs on non aosp devices. Its just as stable as stock on my galaxy nexus. Having an aosp s4 will allow all the snapdragon s4's to have stable aosp.

Not true. my nexus 4 gets bugs every once in a while.
If the hardware is identical to the tmoble version then you should just be able to flash the image through Odin right? Seems kind of like the galaxy nexus where you flash takju from yakju or whatever and boom, you are getting the Google play version of updates, wallet functionality etc. If anything it says Samsung has opened their flagship to aosp right?
Even if you think $650 is too much this means that potentially, Samsung will get touch wiz updates to new versions faster as there will be nexus level compatibility with each new android update. I'm not saying immediate but they will have an inside track based on the fact that Google will actively update their device through AOSP for at least 2 years.

CM will always have bugs due to the way they change the Android coding. Where it is stable and great work people should never look for a bug free OS

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.

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.

My Note is so beat up at this point I need AOSP for on screen navigation bar and other things. I had to use ADB to get into recovery because the home key doesn't work. So glad that open source exists to continue updates for our phone and computers (I use Linux for old laptops too). Awesome.
