Hi,
I'm pretty new on XDA, and pretty new on the Android customization world (I only installed CM10 on my old HTC M7) and i'm currently looking for a good ROM - kernel - theme to install on my LG G3 D855 (European version - 16GO / 2GO Ram). I want a rom pretty clean, if possible in Lollipop, with good performance because i'm playing some power consuming game (X-COM, which in mt stock version frequently shut down my phone because of overheating) and customization capability. I did look heavily on different guide , ROM list, etc ... but i'm having trouble to find what each ROM really improve from stock experience.
Plus, considering i don't have many experience here, i probably don't know where to look exactly to have some review for each ROM.
Side question, i want to do all root / install / flash from my work, where i work on Ubuntu 14, will i have some trouble to intall drivers / software used to flash / root ?

Hi,
As you can see I have a small performance issue.
Both my mother and my sister own a Huawei Acend P6. I have upgraded both to B132 via the update.app method.
Now I come to the point:
- My sisters device keeps getting stuck on random moments.. Most of those happen on games like Farm Heroes Saga and Candy Crush
- My mother device has a score of 16000+ but my siter only got 10426?
I am not familiar with the root and update and custom rom process of this device. However I have read some things about rooting, going to kitkat and using TWRP V2.7.0.0.0.
My questions:
- Any tips to stay stock and have a better performance? (I know this device is not like a Sony Xperia Z1)
- Is there any good How to about rooting, and using custom recoveries? I havent found one
- Any stable ROMS I should look into? (I know this question is not really allowed here but I ask it anyway)....
Regards,
Mrjraider
The device should be in "normal" performance mode and not smart or battery saving mode.

In my opinion stock rom is bad because it has a lot of bloat.

Because you are running JB the best AOSP roms imo are Cyanogenmod 10.1 or PAC-Man rom by surdu but you need to be on 118 CN or 120 CN or unlock the bootloader via this method ( if you dont want to install the chenease verison of the stock roms becouse there is a chance of bricking your phone ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666116 .

There is also the MIUI v5 rom from Ry09iu for JB which is good - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480396
And if you like the stock fell there is HYD52ROM V5 from husen4u but development is dropped cause the op lost his phone :/ (you have to be on the chinease stock rom ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570602 ( This rom has a lot of tweaks implemented in it)
If you want to update to KK there are good stable roms like Omni, LightningKat and Cyanogenmod 11 ( not stable but its a work in progress )
Hope i helped :laugh:

to answer some stuff quick:
-KK is a hell lot faster than ANY ics rom with & without apps on it. maybe currently its a bit sluggish but thats because ION is in ACTIVE development. but its getting better & better every update. for latest version of LX im really amazed. if you know that ''It's Can't Be Lighting Fast & Cool ROM'' you know nothing about KK experience & bro KK is even optimized for low end HW. your sentence is wrong. KK runs a lot faster & stabler than stock ICS!!!! the thing is that some drivers are not meant for KK & make some things not work superb like wifi. i have much app installed & phone still super fast. i dont use fackbook & i guess its fb fault that phone become laggy. (fb works good on ICS?? did you making jokes?? )
you should try KK instead just only talking about it. i think u have no idea (what u talking about ) also use some good rom like LX, to many half baked roms out there
- dev porting apps mostly to their systems using. mostly they use the newest.
- sony apps porting to same os KK apps port to KK is MUCH easier than to JB (very hard many code changed / missing in JB)
try KK bro & report me bak
Thanks For The Right Answer..
hi there bro... thanks for useful reply... i don't have much experience in KK roms... i will definitely try it later... so what rom do you use?
Legacy Xperia 443? >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545354
is that optimized rom? i just can't imagine how KK can be better then ICS... maybe it's really optimized for 2011 xperias...

KK (aswell as JB) is better because it uses the new 3.4 kernel. this is a power pack. ICS still rocks stoneage 2.6.2xx kernel.also its CM based which is hold close to stock android = more power for you. one of kitkats pros was project sveltje which wanted to make sure that the latest OS of android even run smooth on low end device (512 mb ram) it also benefits our devices.
personally i use latest LX 4.4.3 rom (with sony home, media apps & sliglthy sony style framework by me) because its keeped clean & its updated frequently (not abdonned after 2 builds ) but the newest versions (after 19/3 build) are all ION based & with hints . some bugs here & there, new bugs comming (because of active development) if you want just check out kitkat, use the 19/3 build as it is the last PMEM one & gives most stability in kitkat on our device.
if you just want to upgrade your rom to use it as daily driver & dont care to allways have the neewest, then use CM10.1 (also LX) will give you best mix of speed from new kernel & its the most stable of all JB roms for our devices.
just to mention in coparsion to ICS: battery will get down faster & wifi isnt perfect (i have no problems). also camera is much better on ICS. (mostly due to lack of proper drivers.)
take 2 hrs time, do a backup of current rom (recovery), the flash LX kernel ROM & gapps of choice. N# experiece yourself. im really amazed how far our phones got . in case you dont like you can just flash old kernel & restore backup (or go to stockkernel via falshing stock ICS ftf via flashtool, then install xparts, install CWM --> restore backup)
dont forget to follow LX install instruction EXACTLY good luck

I know you're no newbie.
It pains me to see that you've not tried out any kitkat ROMs all this while.
May I suggest a particular ROM.
C-Rom version 5.6 KitKat 4.4.2
Try it.You will like it.

My smartphone is a Blu Life Pure Mini with mt6589t SoC.
I was reaserching ways to port and flash a custom rom with Android Kitkat at least in it, because I want to be able to play Pokemon Go. (please, you must help me haha)
Anyway, I found that I need to update not only the rom, but yet to Root it, to update the Kernel and to install a kitkat compatbile custom Recovery. THEN, I will be able to port and flash the rom in my phone.
As far as I know, Blu released a kikat update for Blu Life Play, that uses mt6589 SoC, but not for Blu Life Pure Mini (mt6589t ... is it compatible with a mt6589 rom without the T?).
I was able to install custom roms before in popular old phones like Samsumg Galaxy S and Ace, and a random Sony device before, but because everything was almost premade by some mercyfull souls arround the internet. The problem is that Blu Life Pure Mini is a not a very popular device, so nobody did that things to make my life easier yet.
Then I decided I could go arround and, maybe with a lot of help of cool guys of the android community, make it for this device and help other people that have it and can't update their phones.
So, what do I need?
- A mt6589t Kernel compatible with Android Kitkat or higher;
- A custom recovery. To make it faster and easier, I found a topic of a guy that did some work arround it in 2014, but I can't understand how to port it by myself very well in his post. And to do it his way, I must have the kernel that I can't find anywere.
His topic here in XDA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...based-t2970004
- A root tutorial for Blu Life Pure mini. My googling habilities are failling on me, then maybe you could help me doing it faster and better. ><

Hey, I just started this thread to give an idea about how I've been thinking these days and how I can see that this phone isn't an old phone anymore...
LG G3 is a popular phone ... well that means developement on our G3 is huge, we have a plenty of custom ROMs out there waiting for you, stock or AOSP one and from kitkat to android N the latest version of android, well we may be confused about what is the best choice for us ( battery life, performance, beauty ....), well I've been thinking : I am a man who really love AOSP ROM for it's design, but camera is really bad on it (comparing to stock ROM), on Stock ROMs I can't install or get other android updates (since it is stopped for our G3 )
well I have an idea : I can install them both using MultiROM and I am using Fulmics 6.6 as primary with cm13 and miui 8 and I am testing cm14.1 (unofficial)
so guys what do you think about the best combination that you can get using MultiROM or Dualboot app ?

I have a D855 v30n - and I have a few questions.
1. Is this device worth rooting?
2. If so what is the best way of rooting this device?
2. Is it worth flashing a custom rom onto this device?
3. If so, which custom rom works the best on this device?
Any help is appreciated - Thanks in advance.
In my opinion it is worth rooting assuming you will install a custom rom so this answers two questions.
Now as for the rom it is a matter of taste but i find fulmics rom 6.7 to be working perfect with zero bugs. It improves the overall speed and user interface also addessing some overheating issues.
The other choices are cm/ aosp based roms that alters ur phone completelly, losing some functionality and gain some other.
After a cycle of trying many roms stock based or aosp i prefer stock based but u have to make ur own opinion on that.
As for the method i wont answer as i dont remember the steps, its not hard but if you are not familiar with the concept of rooting then think carefully before you proceed and do alot of research.

Thanks for responding, I have already previously rooted an LG G3 D855 but it was running on an older firmware and was stuck on android lollipop. I was running cloudy g3 on that one and it worked fine for a few months and then out of nowhere the device was completely bricked (this is why I'm asking if it's worth flashing a cutom ROM again)
