LG OG Cross-Compatibility Between Variants (Specifically e973 -> e975) - LG Optimus G (International)

I have searched and scoured various threads on here to find a variety of answers. Quite frankly, I'm surprised this isn't on the FAQ thread.
I just want a clear answer as to whether or not Canadian users (e973) can install e975 ROMs. If there's compatibility issues, what are they?
It just seems like a shame that the e973 area seems fairly dead, while development on e975 ROMs still appears to be alive and well.

[REQUEST] LG Optimus S and T forums

Well, since the other thread doesnt appear to be getting any sort of attention, is there any way we can get an LG Optimus S and T forum here? This is becoming a pretty popular phone, and anyone who has actually used one, will admit it is a very under rated phone.
Its not the same as the P500, so i think it deserves its own forum??? Thanks in advance!!

Optimus G for developmental purposes

I was recently talking with a fellow xda friend about expanding my developmental work to more/different devices and it was recently suggested that the LG Optimus G would be a good place to start. So, what im asking for is either a lg optimus g phone that someone is willing to donate or an optimus g that someone would like to let me borrow for a bit. I do not believe in 'blind porting' or putting out work for devices that i can not personally test myself to ensure that they are up to par before release. I have been developing for about a year now and have contributed to the Samsung Infuse4g forums during that time. You can check out my work from the links in the signature or by visiting the samsung infuse4g threads. You can also take a look at my source files at http://www.github.com/scotthartbti. Please rest assured that if a phone is donated, I will put in work so that the optimus G community benefits. Please PM me with any questions or concerns you may have.
The problem is, there's quite a few Optimus G out there, so which one do you want? Location is an issue too.
You can get a Optimus G for $300 of Kijiji.

Since im asking for developmental purposes, im not going to be picky... Doesnt really matter... the point of asking for a developmental phone for donation is so that i can develop for the Optimus G and not take a hit in the wallet doing so... Im located in the USA.

I believe he means there a god only knows how many versions of the handset, and they are not completely compatible.
So if you buy an E973 for example, rest 80% Optimus G users will be out.
The best choice, would be the E975 EU model. Im sure, it supports more languages ( i guess ). Its pretty new in EU.
We really need a CM dev or aokp/aosp dev here.
I know LG is knowen for slow updates to their phones. But with some gr8 devs, thats not a problem
Im getting this phone tomorrow and im a bit scared of the lack of devs here. I really hope, there will be some more activity in the devs section soon. Or els im sure im going back to HTC again. This is lg's last chance with me

Thanks for the info. Thats why I started this thread asking for a donator optimus. I have gotten the infuse to the cm10 stage unofficially and have been maintaining it since day one. You guys need developers, find me a phone. That way the community will have more variety and I'll be able to develop on a different device. Check out the infuse forums and you will see that I'm definitely capable.
Hopefully that doesn't come off sounding to cocky.

I'd rather see some LG based ROMs... Stock ROMs are nice and all, but the LG has done a very good job with their software.

[Q] F240 vs E980

Hi Guys!
I am getting a good deal on used e980. Just needed to ask if I should buy it. Price of F240 variants is a little more. Please tell me if I should go for E980 or F240.
I have tried to look in forums but cant find exactly maybe i haven't searched in detail. Please also tell if E980/E985/F240 Roms are interchangeable?
I will be really grateful
Regards
The E98X models have a broader development community on XDA while there are Chinese sites and Vietnamese sites that also support it. For F240, there is very little here on XDA so you'd have to rely on the Chinese and Vietnamese sites for your flashing needs.
If you live in the states, go for the E980 as I don't think the F240 would get GSM LTE, here.

[Q] Why lesser roms for LG G3 being a flagship phone?

Hi Friends, I just got my LG G3 yesterday D855 model. I was pretty excited as it was one of the flagship phones this year, but when I checked the forums there are pretty less roms as compared to other flagships. Is there any particular reason behind it, will we ever see more roms coming for this phone??
We may see more Roms for the device when Lollipop comes out for it, by the end of 2014
Sent from my LG-D855
Well this has been really due to the limitations that were present due to carriers not wanting to unlock the bootloader on the g3 (except T-Mobile) A Devs are some of the best people around because they dedicate their time to help the entire community and they have really tried but its been difficult.Also Look @ the Tmo Orig Dev Forum and just look over the CM rom... all the arguing and fighting is a reason why no dev is being made.

VZW OTA

Any reports on the recent vzw ota? I have refused to take it because my phone is working well, but I also don't want to lose the ability to update later if 5.1, or M become available at some point. I'm not seeing any threads regarding it, so I was kinda looking for peoples feedback good or bad.

Look in the VZW forums that are specific to that model. Here's the thread talking about 24B:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/24b-update-t3154374
That should hopefully answer any questions you might have and if you others concerning it, that would be the best place to ask since most VZW people post in those forums. I myself peruse these forums because there still can be good diamonds found for the VS985 G3 in the "all other variants" G3 forums, but I mainly hang out in the VS985 forums for the G3 since the latest info specific to that phone will be found there first more than likely.
