Why would anyone answer this without any source...
The REAL answer is not Yes or No, it's juste "unkown" until LG release a statement saying anything...

Don't you know? Everyone on XDA is a brand ambassador and know more than the manufacturer themselves!

When LG release a firmware, they release a firmware, not just an android update.
Try installing CM10.1 after flashing LG 4.1.2 firmware and you ll see a big difference on battery consumption.
I get 6h of web browsing instead of 4h with the same CM10.1 on the same phone... only thing that changed is the firmware that have been flashed before.
Personnaly I dont think LG will release a 4.2, but I would take it as a firmware update anytime if it gives me another 1.5x battery
I let myself be surprised by LG.
Speculate that, yes or no, brings nothing
In any case, I am very satisfied with the G

yeah, I saw that the battery of every 4.2.2 custom rom is not as good as 4.1.2 stock rom
New to lg, but on samsung, CM is way better than TW and that's a fact.Unfortunatelly lg doesn't have all the support samsung has.It will take some time, but,in the end, CM will be better than lg fw.
LG patches pure vanilla with Gesture UI and adds specific apps(like q-slide)..how do you call that?
All manufacturers do it(samsung with TW, HTC with sense and motorola with motoblur).

My point is : install lg latest firmware before installing CM and you ll see a big difference IN CM
CM and the others are good options for those who don't like LG UI. But I have never been a fan of CM on any of my phones cause it's never perfect!
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
maybe now,lg roms are better,because cm is still young for our phones.but,with a proper dev team,cm will wipe off lg roms.
imagine,pure vanilla running on g.but there is a long way.unfortunately,lg does not have 5he same support community like samsung

Maybe but even on GNEX, CM was nowhere as stable as stock or AOSP.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
I think LG will release android 5 instead of 4.2, because our G have strong hardware. Now we just pray for it!
lol, KLP will be released later this year.until then, we will have 4.2
My source told me 4.2.2 will be available at the end of may,begining of june.But it's possible to have it earlier.

I´d just be glad for a update with stuff from G Pro, but 4.2.2 and KLP sounds nice also ^^
Soo im going to my self a new device tomorow and got my eye on the optimus g and nexus 4
Wich one should i get???
On one hand i get all the latest and greatest and i like the stock android rather than lg's ui and with the optimus g i get LTE and an extra 16 gb of storage...
I also have some concernes... Ive seen complaints on the web about the optimus g overheating.. Any of you experiencing it ?
Lg ui gesture is the most fluid and smooth ui.far better than tw and sense.not so much bloat and most of those apps you will find them useful.we already have 4.2.2,with almost no bugs,but it can be a daily driver.i don't have heating problems and i'm a power user,runing this phone like crazy.didn't notice to get hotter than my previous devices.
The only advantage of n4 is the vanilla.but g is over n4 on every other aspect.better cpu,better camera,bigger storage,even microsd slot in some cases.
Of course the final call is yours.

A stock OG only has 4.1.2 at the moment. You can flash a custom rom after rooting and unlocking and get 4.2.2 though.
I may be wrong but before I flashed a 4.2 ROM yesterday, the last update put me up to 4.1.2.

So far I havent heard anything about it. If you do decide to flash a rom I reccomend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880
I've been using it since yesterday morning and its been nothing but awesome. I'm sure you do know that unlocking bootloaders and rooting voids warranty so it is a use at your own risk method.
Just a newbie question..
What are the odds of seeing a ported pure lollipop ROM from the developer previews to the G3? Is that even possible at this stage?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd imagine some devs are beginning to port it as we speak. The source code just dropped a few days ago if Im not mistaken so It will take a while to adapt to the G3. Also note, that we have to wait till we can bump our ROMs, because without that, we might as well be carrying around a laptop in our back pocket to fastboot it. Don't worry, im as excited as you are. Also note that I do believe LG is working hard on their Optimus skin for Lollipop as well. So that should be on it's way next month if we are being optimistic.
Thanx for your answer.
I'm very excited on what's coming next for us.
I saw the Dev build on a nexus and it was jaw dropping.
Optimus UI along with 5.0 is sweet idea yes, but not as close to an AOSP.
Currently running CM11 tethered, loving each second of it lol

i have worked on a port of lollypop since last month and the main problem is kernel that's not working with rom.. (kernel panic) we need lollipop sources for kernel at least
Isn't the source release helping you with that?

Depends on what you're looking for Skydragon is pretty good if you wanna stick with KK, but need g3 tweaksbox to customize it. I'm currently running Blisspop. I've also ran cm12 wich bliss is based of off. Most pages have a decent number of features the rom provides. So my advice is just have a look around. Although keep in mind you won't have wifi calling on some I think, and the quick remote notification widget on all. You can get a port of the QR app for some roms though if you need it.

I was wondering if there was any developers out there working on a stock-based ROM which was UX 6.0 for our G3. Around this time last year Fulmics 5.0 released which was based on UX 5.0 and it became hugely popular but now its developement has ceased and it would be great if someone else bought out a new ROM to make our G3 feel fresh again.
If there is no one working on it, I would like to know if there is any particular reason why it wouldn't work - such as the aspect ratio.

No. And it is simple. UX 6 is for android 7. There are many changes, framework stuff. It is not compatible with out LG G3 still in android 6. That was already discussed in the Fulmics thread.

But the G2 did get a UX 5.0 themed ROM and that was running on lollipop.

But how come some of the older Samsung Galaxy phones still get new Touchwiz based roms? Surely the latest version of Touchwiz is based on Nougat api
