Well upgrading the device is the best to get the latest.
But it makes no sense if you want to test a new experimental kernel when the OS will never support it (I mean newer than 3.1, because the hox will not get any big updates anymore)

Sorry, I really ment getting a newer device since that's the case.
Ah like that. Yep....that means a new device
I've always flashed Sense ROMs but have always pondered flashing an ASOP or Google Edition ROM. I just really never use Zoe, so I'm thinking the camera fuctions won't be missed to badly. With that said, can anybody recommend a ROM to flash? I weigh stability over options, because I can always use Xposed to get most options that I want. Thanks for the feedback!

Each rom offers different things, best bet is to nandroid and try them one by one.
Most stable stock versions
bucks AOSP
Joelz GPE
Santod040 GPE
Santod040 GPE offers added tweaks on top of GPE
Santod040 Liquid offers tweaks on top of CM code
Flyhalf CM build is pretty good but sometimes when on nightlys things break.

I've never tried bucks, or heard of it actually, but I really liked CM 11 when I used it for a while. I've heard about it enough that I figured it would be one of the most stable non-stock roms and it seemed to mostly live up to the reputation, but I switched back to stock just for the sake of using the beats chip since it is closed source to sense and GPE based roms. If you can live without that, I'd go with CM because that's what I would be doing.

I actually offer two versions...
One is completely stock, and one has some mods and Xposed included.

I would also recommend JoelZ. I just updated to his latest ROM and it's solid as a rock. I'm having 1 problem right now but it isn't related specifically to his ROM, and only occurs to select users for whatever reason.

I've flashed Liquid. That is an awesome ROM. Only problem is I stream music anytime I'm driving and the bluetooth skips. Seems to be a problem that affects some but not all users of the ROM. Other than that though, it looks like a great ROM.
I'm now trying to flash a GPE ROM. I've tried both of Santod's and Joelz and after I flash them I have no cell service. If I go to about phone, it shows baseband as unknown. I've never had that issue. I'm flashing with TWRP 2.7.1.1 and my radio version is 1.13.41.0421. What am I doing wrong here?

That's the current radio, but have you flashed the full kitkat firmware or were you on it prior to unlocking?
If you are on the latest m7vzw firmware, you should not have that type of issue.
You'll also wanna make sure you are wiping prior to flashing, if you aren't.
Not sure what else to suggest, as data and calls are all working fine on tiKtaK.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I always wipe both caches, data, and system 3 times before I flash a ROM. I figured it wasn't the ROM but something on my end instead. I assume I just flash version 4.10.605.3? Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the help. I installed the new firmware and have my cell service back. I flashed your tiktak GPE ROM with the editions and so far I've been really impressed!
Ok, so I got a G3 (UK SIM-free). Comes with KK 4.4.2. I've Rooted, installed recovery (with modem/EFS support and backed up everything) and customised with Xposed modules. New lollipop ROM has been released but I'm not sure I can do the things I need or want to do with Xposed on KK with the Lollipop custom ROMs currently available, like Gravitybox's expanded desktop options to remove dock or DS battery saver's tasty battery life gains..
Trouble is most of the custom ROMs that look good Android Now or Chupa Chups etc. only list Lollipop ROMs now and I can't find the last KK versions of these custom ROMs for download.
So what do I do? Do I stick with my customised 4.4.2? Do I go for a custom Lollipop ROM and risk losing the look and feel I like? Does any one know where a list of the last (most stable?) 4.4.4 KK versions of the good custom ROMs would be?
KK + Xposed for the win. Don't look back.
LP is not impressive enough for me to give up my Xposed. Running 45-50 modules (yes, 45-50) I refuse to give up my Xposed.

There aren't actually any good custom 4.4.x roms for G3. They all were prematurely terminated bc of 5.0 release.
Well, most Xposed modifications aren't doable without it. Try to live without it for a week, see what it's like.

SlimKat is pretty much as good as KK is going to get for these phones. Not supported or updated anymore, but the best all-around ROM for the G3's wanting 4.4.x
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CM 11 is still supported / updated via nightlies (even if fewer and farther between updates now with CM 12 up and running)? Unless things have changed in the past couple of weeks...

It is, but AFAIK there are no official builds for G3, so you'll have to compile it yourself. Plus, the device layer (HAL, etc) is incomplete, so there will be bugs.

Really? How good can the Lollipop ROMs be then? They really are immature.
I really need Xposed, don't like the dock, at all. Use PIE via LMT.

Sorry, I probably should have said I am only considering modified stock custom ROMs. I didn't buy a phone with such a good camera to lose the majority of the function.

I never said that lolipop roms are good, i said that all G3 rom makers forgot about 4.4 and moved on to buggy future. Current 5.0 roms suck, they drain battery twice as fast, they lag, they have inferior memory management, etc...
We have to wait for good stock-based customs. At least until 20L and apktool 2.0 RC4 release. After that, we will have a good base and will be able to decompile and recompile any LG apk, which would allow for some serious mods.
Exposed until L is ironed out. The G3 camera is excellent. Xcam for me.
Don't leave home without it.
Long story short, custom ROM'S never be good as official ESPECIALLY for LG G3, you just need to understand that, for some people it's ok but for some don't. All you need is a root and MAYBE a custom kernel. PEACE.
I found lollipop is faster especially with chrome, yes, I gave up xposed but worth it
Sorry, I have been pretty dumb. So LG went from 4.4.2 to 5.0 with the G3 and there are no customised stock 4.4.4 ROMs? That being the case, I might as well stay on 4.4.2, get to debloating and sort out the annoying boot animation and sound.
Any prefered/recommended method for debloating? Anything else I should look into doing to my stock 4.4.2 ROM?
I just go the LG G3 and I unlocked and rooted it. Now I'm looking for a custom rom. I see there are quite a few 5.0 roms but since there is no official source, all these ROMS are pure Android and I am looking for one which has LG customization (as I really like them). I would like to know what's currently the "best" (and stable rom) for D851?

None of the stock KK Roms have been updated in awhile. I think Devs are waiting on LP to be released. Once you flash it, you'll see that there's not too much to update anyways. No reason to update Roms if there's nothing new to add.

Yep, I've actually ran both. IMO, Skydragon Rom just runs a little smoother and also with the SR Remix Rom, I was having all sorts of issues with being able to edit/delete files using any kind of File Explorer app. You'll notice in the thread for that Rom, that a lot of people were having that issue. With Skydragon Rom, I don't have that issue at all so that's also a main reason that I'm on Skydragon.
They're both pretty comparable though so pretty much just personal preference. I also like the fact that the Dev for Skydragon builds his own kernels too.

Thanks for the info. I will check out the Skydragon ROM.
Installed SkyDragon earlier today and so far everything seems to be working great. Though I wouldn't have mind at least some customization because after the first boot for few minutes I was confused if the rom was actually installed it not.

Well in case it helps anyone else, Solid Kernal v1.6 is working fine on the D851 with MM port and Kcal. FYI, version 1.7 has issues with wifi and SD cards.

But the solid kernel version 1.6 is for lollipop or marshmallow? I see in OP that is for lollipop.
I'm running Fulmics ROM 4.1 with this kernel and everything is working better than any other ROM/kernel combo that I have tried. I actually have an S7 pre-ordered and I'm second guessing that now. I had to Google the file name to locate ver 1.6
