It's not possible to know that for sure. I doubt LG will update us to the latest version of android, honestly. Latest custom roms? Sure. Until Dec 2014? I'm not a psychic so I don't know haha
And in theory yes, you can port roms...but I don't know how so...

There's already a good number os ports from Nexus 4 (Carbon, slim, xylon, EOS, Orca, PA, etc...) you can find them here:
http://main.develoid.com:82/lg/Optimus G/CustomRom/
So, probably you don't need to port ...Maybe update them
I'd love to help you with the port question but honestly I have no idea about how that works haha
Maybe this will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223690
Thank you guys!! Seriously i had no idea i would get so many replies! Thank You

If you care so much about updates or a zillion of custom roms yeah.
If you want more storage, no on-screen buttons, LTE, better battery life, the possibilty to use a 100% LG Firmware with its fully functional gimmicks ( QSlide, etc. Might sound stupid but there's people that don't like AOSP ), you prefer the looks of the G, or simply you don't care about a zillion roms because you'll end up using a few at best, then not so much.
Also, I've had both phones on my hand and I don't know why ( because in theory they share the same display ) the Optimus G looked much sharper. Both were on stock, so I wonder if the N4 just has a ****ty calibration and needs a custom kernel to adjust it.
Thanks bro, I just change my rom once in 2 months or something like that but that rom had to be perfect..,

We all know now about the up and coming Nexus 5, which LG is again the manufacturer. It will be launch (according to rumor) with the latest Android version 4.4 or was it 5(?) called KitKat.
The G2 is very much here. 4.2 out-of-the-box with all it's niceties.
Now we, GPro user/owner probably wondering what LG's instore for our neglected capable device. We're still on 4.1 and should be on 4.2 by now. And one could even ask if we could still see the light with 4.3, much more with KitKat.
Will a petition be of any help from GPro user to send LG a clear voice demanding support from them? Will they listen thinking that we're just small in number?
The GPro was my first LG (smart)phone and really have no idea how they are with support. Was LG notoriously sucks with updates?
Will a PETITION work?

Don't get your hopes too high, mate. They're making some really good phones, but unfortunately, they've chosen to stick to their "no update" policy. They've abandoned the Optimus G, just like they've abandoned other flagships before. The same's the case with the G Pro. As it's going to be with the G2, too. I've been really tempted by the G Pro (LG, in my opinion, have the best displays of the lot), but seeing their poor record of updates, it makes me think twice.

You didn't do too much research if you have to ask that. Combine LG's propensity to not release updates with AT&T's 6 month vetting process after its released and you can pretty much expect that nothing north of 4.2.2 will ever hit the G Pro. I'd assume once the G2 is out for 60 days there will be a 4.2.2 International G Pro update then maybe 90 days to 6 months later an AT&T update. By then no one will care and the device will have already been EOL'ed.
If you want a newer Android version on a non Nexus phone you're going to have to flash them with a ROM. Its a sad state of affairs for the Android eco-system but at least there's an upgrade path of some sort, even if its manual.
from what I know, LG has always been very very slow with update.
Better sit and wait for it. I don't think we will be forgotten.
Read this:
LG : Just like Samsung, LG hasn't issued any official release regarding updates but since Nexus 4 is getting one, it is safe to assume that others will follow suit. Remember Optimus G is very similar to Nexus 4 on the insides. The following LG devices may get updated soon.
Optimus G
Optimus G Pro
LG Optimus L7 2 Dual
Optimus G2

There arn mucht different in JB. 4.2.2 its bugs with change files management. The 4.3 GE dont work w some games.
4.2+ finally handles group sms correctly. Not sure why it's taken this long but it's much needed.

One of my favorite books ever is Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. In it, he talks about "direct actions" and "indirect actions." Direct actions involve doing something to get what you want. Indirect actions involve trying to change someone else's mind so they'll give you what you want. Direct actions are usually quicker, easier and more reliable.
This proposed petition is a perfect example of the difference. We can either spend a lot of time and effort putting together a petition hoping to change LG's mind in a month or two, or we can just root and flash on our own and have the newest OS (4.3) today.
5 cents, please.

What do you guys think, will LG even update this phone anymore? to any version, or even another OTA value pack that will bring the cool updated features of the LG G2. The reason I'm asking is because I'm fine with stock right now, but I would love to have the speed boost of a newer version of android, that's the only thing keeping me from rooting and "Roming"? again if they still plan on updating this awesome phone than I have no reason to root and rom. What do you guys think?

If I'm honest, I'd say we MIGHT, slim chance MIGHT, see an update to 4.2. Or maybe just a Value Pack update to bring over some features of the G2.
The advertising for our device was botched, and LG even admitted to it. So, the popularity of this device, isn't as high as it should. I wouldn't expect another update, but then again, LG has surprised me before.

I don't see Lg updating the gpro specially with the Lg g X soon to be out for sell, which is exactly the same phone as the gpro spec wise. I hope Lg proves me wrong but for now Im planning on rooting my gpro rather soon. It's a shame the phone was only an at&t exclusive here in the states or else it would have been much more popular and had more support from at&t.
Is there good support for CM out there? Because of the missing sources I assume, because LG isn't releasing them, I guess.

There is a leaked version on 4.2.2 China version floating around the forums, but it is way too buggy to try on other variants. We may see an official 4.2.2 update in the near future, but due to US carriers like AT&T who do like like pushing updates to phones that are not their flagship device, we may nit see that update. But, we can only hope and wait.

You can get certain features that are available in custom ROMs such as Nav bars, Advanced power menus, tweaks to the status bar, tweaks to lockscreen, you name it. Be careful though some of these won't be compatible so I suggest using the gravity box module. It has everything you may need

Hey guys I love the stock but I'm in the mood for something new. So I'm wondering what do people think? Should I flash a ROM and which are good? Or wait and pray the AT&T and LG release the update soon? The only problem I have is last time I had a cyanogen mod I had trouble updating when I used a back up so should I leave everything stock how it is or install a ROM?

Lmao. Dude you do realize our boot loader was never locked. Good luck waiting. I think most devs are turned off to this phone.

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.

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!
