I've noticed quite a few aosp based Roms for d855 that are not for d851. Is it possible to use them if we flashed a d851 kernel right after? Or is there more to it then that? Since hardware is basicly the same would it work?

Are all the ROMs available flashable in this model? my phone is from Dubai and i was wondering if it is ok to flash all the ROMs without causing bootloops
Hi i am a big fan of pac rom and i know many other people are as well however sadly there is no build for the G3 except the sprint version so im wondering is it easy to port the rom to the d855? and maybe other variants?
Hey guys, I've been looking for something to upgrade to from my old e970, and I've had nothing but great experiences with LG phones. I have a question regarding the different model's of this phone, and potential development limitations. I would be getting the D851 (Tmo variant) and wondering if there are compatibility issues among the roms? For example, in original development, official CM13 is listed for d855, does that mean there's no way I wouldn't be able to use it on a D851? I understand for my e970 if I use an international variant rom I'd lose camera and sd card support.
Thanks!
You can only use D851 roms in that instance. That is the reason why D851, D852, D855 etc. have separate forum categories for rom developments.
Flashing rom that is intended for other model than your phone causes it to brick or boot loop (I'm not sure what of those two since I've never done that)

Thanks! I found the seperate forum for the D851 and CM13 does have an official version. This should make building other roms much simpler. Thank you again!
Hello,
Since we have received android Marshmallow update for LG G3 D855 (international version), I am wondering if anyone has tried to install D855 stock firmware file (android 6.0) on D850 (AT&T) version and had any success? I am hoping D855 and D850 are not too different because both use same processor.
I am asking this because I used to have a SONY phone from AT&T and I flashed international version firmware on it and it worked perfectly fine. This was about two years ago.

It will brick the device they are not as similar as you think. Only flash D850 firmware on the D850 phone.

Supposedly, the D855 firmware can be modified/patched to run on D850. At least, there is a Lollipop D855 ROM that runs of D850. So in theory, maybe the D855 ROM can be modified to run on D850.

Thank you. That's what I was thinking. LG G3 is my daily use phone so I can't take a risk. That's why I was wondering if someone has tried it. I know folks at XDA are talented and someone probably have found a solution.
I know this forum is not specifically for tmobile lg g4
Can i flash any lg g4 811 rom to my tmobile lg g4 811 20v marshmallow phone?
Does the custom rom have to be 20v? Can it be nougat?
I'm not completely certain, but as far as I know can any H811 rom be flashed on any H811 device. Even nougat roms. I'll say it again just in case: I am not sure, I have 0 experience with non-h815 devices

yes you can. if its says stock based means its stock with some goodies if its says LAOS lienage OS or AOSP this are not stock and not from LG itself.
so we only have stock MM rom. if you want nougatyou need aosp or lineage.
have in mind that picture quality is not the same on aosp or lineage roms.
as for 0-p-q-r -v. yes you can .. but best its to stay uptodate.. but if you go with O then i think some kernels had sound problems rom and kernele had to be on same version.
Thank you sir for your reply.
Now if you could recommend a a great rom for battery life and dark theme
Not really a fan of stock rom.... if were talking about lgs icons layout etc...
Would loose picture quality to get rid of this lg theme for better battery and dark ui
I am rooted and have twrp just have not flashed custom rom yet
