I like too much having a device that is different from my smartphone. The stock rom from LG have some nice custom app(maybe bloatware yes but are nice) that make the difference. (knock code, long memory save, etc..)
Now Lollipop is out, I want try it but the question is " There are any Lollipop rom for v500 that have some nice tablet feature?"
Thank you
There is only one lollipop rom ATM. It's aosp. You could have found out that for yourself very easy...
I'm currently running stock android on my VS985, and i have tried a few custom ROMs like CM, PA, Bliss Pop and a few others. The thing that always brings me back to stock no matter what is the quickcircle case. It's the reason why i bought the phone in the first place, so i need it to work. Are there any good ROMS with this functionality preserved?

That's because those are NOT stock LG ROMs. They are all based off of AOSP ROMs which is a vanilla version of Android that is not device specific. Therefore, it has none of the LG custom logic in it.
If you want to continue to use your circle case, you need to instead find any of the stock-based ROMs that are based off of the LG G3 stock ROM, not AOSP.
If you go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772658
and scroll down to the area called "LG/Stock based ROMs - Android Development", you'll see links to a list of Stock based ROMs that should work with the quickcircle case. Please do note if it's for your model of G3. Not all models might have stock-based ROMs.
So coming from a phone, with no custom roms really. I love the specs on this, and wanted to know, if anybody is porting ubuntu touch/firefox os/sailfish os? Would love to have those roms.

Hello friends,
I am quite new to this forum also new to rooting and using custom ROMs on my G3.
I have my G3 for about 8 months now and have already upgraded to android 5.0 (OTA). I want to customize my G3 as much as I can !!!
I have installed G3 Tweaksbox but its not working, it is giving me an error message "Xposed Framework is missing". I have read on some threads that Xposed has not been finalized yet for Lollipop and it is not advisable to install it. So I cannot go through G3 Tweaksbox for customizing my G3.
The second option was to install a custom ROM. For this, I have already rooted my G3 and already backed up my data. I was about to install BlissPop V3.5 when I came across a thread saying if I install a customize ROM, I will lose some cool features of my G3...like knock code, auto-focus and other specific features of LG.
I know you guys are expert in these things and therefore wanted your help on how to be able to fully customize my G3 without losing those cool features?
Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roy
There are two types of options in custom ROMs: Stock-based and AOSP/CM based.
Customizability:
Hands-down, AOSP wins the customizability contest. Many of the features you would need to use Xposed for in stock-based are already baked into AOSP.
Camera:
Stock-based lets you use the stock camera, the software and drivers for which are proprietary; it's might quick and accurate, even if it does not allow manual adjustments.
The default AOSP camera is okay. Many of us opt to replace it with a port from another device. The Motorola cam is nice and the M9 cam is fantastic (I'm working on a few tweaks to make it work better with the G3). Point is: the choice is yours.
Knock-on/off:
The knock-on code is an LG feature, so stock-based ROMs only.
Some AOSP ROMs allow you to knock on and knock off, but no pattern detection is incorporated with it.
QRemote:
This has been ported to AOSP and works great. The only thing that isn't there is having it in the pull-down menu.
So, it's a trade-off. There is no perfect ROM, unless you find something that is perfect for you. For me, although I sometimes miss the LG camera, the features and tweaking ability of a good AOSP ROM are a clear win. My suggestion is dump stock altogether, install a cleaned up stock-based ROM and play with it for a while. Then make a backup, wipe and install a good AOSP ROM like CyanideL or BlissPop to get a feel for that. Then stick with what you prefer. Heck, I've restored my Jasmine ROM just for the camera on one occasion!
Thanks epidenimus
Hi epidenimus thanks a lot. I think I will go with a stock based ROM that can still contain the g3 features . Another nice feature is the quick circle case all which I assume will still be there in the stock.
Can you suggest me which custom ROM to go for and where to get it?
Thanks again

I do not use quick circle cases, prefer something that can really protect the device. However, I can tell you that CyanideL (AOSP/CM) does have settings for it baked it, so it may well work in some of the AOSPs.

Would need to know your variant (e.g. LS990, VS985, D851...) in order to point you in the right direction. You may start by looking in the more specific thread for that device, if there is one. Generally, the stock-based ROMs are specific to a variant; AOSP sees more porting to different variants and devices.
Thanks again.....I am using LG D855....international and unlocked
Dear Friends,
I am running my LG G3 on stock lollipop and I am willing to move to a custom ROM. I learnt that there are some ROMs that have completely removed all/most LG unique features like quick circle view, camera, knock on code etc whilst there are ROMs that have preserved them.
Can you please suggest me the best ROM that has the most LG features and that is really awesome to use? I am asking you guys because you are the experts on using custom ROMs!
Thanks,
Roy
