Well I have my G3 for like 3 weeks now and it is very nice. First thing I did was rooting and downgrading aboot and after that installed CloudyG3. All is working good. Battery is good. Camera is like in stock. Didn't try any other ROMs but the ones that are not based on stock have poor camera (due to OEM libs and frameworks). What I did to Cloudy G3 is adjusted DPI to 530 (because stock 640 is HUGE). My advice is go for CloudyG3. Don't restore apps make clean flash and you should be good to go.
Dude you must try this rom. you will love it for sure.
SlickRom
Super smooth and best battery backup.
Welll, I have my g3 with cloudy since i bought it because of the stock camera. Besides, its a great rom with a great support from the community.

Just saw the leaked screenshots of Android L on the LG G3. Really dissapointed in the fact that you can barely tell the difference since the home screen, again, is filled with all the LG theming like Optimus UI. I was just wondering, is it possible to install Android on the device without all that? Like, near stock Android. Same goes for KitKat, is it possible?
When the bump tool is released probably. Until then depending what variant you are on no.
im on d855, im rooted but havent gone all out with customization

I've got a d855 as well. There is a few non LG roms to try, I'm using liquid smooth at the minute and love it.

If your only issue is the homescreen try a different launcher
If you want a new rom, well every rom has an how to install in the op but close to stock roms are tethered so you will have to load the kernel via fatboot every time you reboot (for now) but that should also be covered in the op's of the roms
Hey guys, fairly new here, but I wanted to ask some people's opinions because I'm not so sure.
As the thread's name says, I'm torn between Lollipop and KitKat. At the moment I'm on KitKat, running stock ROM and Rin Kernel, rooted with TWRP.
I was previously on Lollipop but I decided to switch back to KitKat PURELY because of the soft keys (yes, I know) and the amazing G3 Tweaksbox by Pierandra Toti. (I think I spelt it right, not sure. Sorry if it's wrong.)
If you recommend me staying on KitKat, what would you recommend I change? At the moment I'm not entirely sure, because Lollipop's UI is a lot cleaner, and a bit faster in my opinion.
Please help me! ?

My opinion is this, I love lollipop because the phone seems faster and the battery life is way better and the new UI is pretty sweet. I run stock debloated rooted Rom because I love stability with a few tweaks to make it a bit faster. Tweaksbox now works for lollipop so that's great for customization. The only way I would tell you to stay on KitKat would be because the WiFi calling is sketchy with lollipop. With kitkat all Xposed modules work, as with lollipop not all work but all the once I use on KitKat work on lollipop. There's a list somewhere on XDA that will show you which ones work and which dont? Backup kitkat including efs and stick with lollipop a couple of weeks and see if you like it. ?

I think I might try Lollipop again, seeing as I switched back go KitKat just after root became available for Lollipop.

try it out but make sure to backup your Rom after flashing Xposed as some modules bootloop your device,but most of them are stable by now.
The softkeys take a little getting used to (LG making them oversized doesnt really help that ).
Other than that, I think the benefits of Lollipop in general, outweigh KitKat. Performance is notably smoother and battery life has been better in my experience.

If you change the stock DPI to 530 or 560 (mine is 530) everything gets a hell of a lot smaller

Well, I literally spent the whole day trying to install TWRP on my phone but I couldn't figure it out 'cos I'm stoopid. Someone post some sort of super easy guide and I'll go back to Lollipop. (I really want to go back to Lollipop!)

You said in the OP that you already had TWRP installed. What happened?
I said I'm on KitKat with Rin kernel and TWRP. Haven't figured out how flash it on Lollipop. Probably some super obvious way but I'm a dum dum sooo... ?

Look through the play store for autorec for your g3's model
Sorry I'm not giving a link, I'm just being lazy
I tried getting the D855 version for my D855 but Google thinks that mine isn't a D855

Kitkat!!! I upgraded my phone to 5.0.2 and it is the worst decision i have ever made stay on kitkat lolipop will rape your phone
Just an update, guys. Thanks for all your help, I decided to flash CloudyG3 straight from KitKat, and it is better in every way. If I did something seriously wrong there, help me out and tell me if I was supposed to update via LG's PC Suite and then flash.

Hello, I've recently bought a LG G3 Korean model F400s . I successfully rooted, install recovery and then went for the latest build of xposed modules.
So, now that I have some "freedom", is it possible to flash an European .kdz on my device?I say European because they are similar on specs apart from the extra ram for the Korean model.
It could also be an US .kdz if it's working...anything but Korean. I would like stock .kdz in any case.
I'm willing to try anything really and not afraid to brick it.
Hi,
No, you can't flash a EU KDZ on your device.
I'll recommended to find a custom Rom suitable for your device.
I think Cloudy had an specific Rom suitable for your device.
Regards
Thanks for your reply. Could you recommend a Rom based on stock heavily. A stock Rom?
CloudyG3, SlickROM, XtraLite
Is it possible to flash one of these and then into it so that I can use my banking app?

Can you explain? Sorry, but your question doesnt make sense..

Apologies, what I meant was can any of the above mentioned roms be installed and then can the rom be unrooted.
The reason I cant have a rooted rom is because my banking app that I regularly use won't run on a rooted device.
I have an F400s and rom updates are few and far between. Their are some niggles with the current official LG rom such as problems with dropped calls, but because it's an F400s I can't exactly ring LG and complain because the phone is an import.
I'd like to run a custom rom that has decent support but I need to be unrooted for my banking app.

Did you try to use Root Cloak to hide root from your banking app?
Otherwise, if you flash the non-rooted ROM you lose root again..
I read some threads a while ago which suggested that the Barclays Mobile Banking rom originally worked with Root Cloak but then didn't answer never versions of the banking app were released.
I might try flashing another Rom and try Root Cloak for myself, but to be honest I don't 'need' root these days to be honest.
Out of the roms mentioned above, is there one in particular which you would recommend?
CloudyG3 is probably the best when starting off as it's the least modified.
SlickROM is the smallest in size so is probably the most optimized.
Though, if you don't care about the camera, BlissPop or Resurrection Remix offer the most customisability & performance..
Thank you for your advice.
Typical though, the thread I'm reading through at the moment isn't one that's on your list. What do you think of XtraLite?
....Under their feature list I'm trying to find out what the 'LTE / 4G Mod' is.
I haven't used it myself..

That doesn't inspire me to use it then. You obviously know a lot more about the current roms than I do hence I'll probably go with Cloudy.
I've rooted and used custom roms from the G1 right up to getting my Nexus 4 but it's just not something I've down with my G3 F400s but I feel like I should having had it for a year now.
Which rom are you running at the moment?
Sent from my LG-F400S using Tapatalk
I think it would be safer to flash Cloudy first, as either XtraLite or SlickROM need a 20P ROM to be flashed first. Can't remember which one tho.
The only downside with Cloudy is that you have to flash the CTT mod after, as its are not built in...
I flashed Cloudy on mine, only received it a week ago via Aliexpress, and it's going great, but will probably try both XtraLite & SlickROM in the next few weeks to check the differences
Happy flashing
I flashed both XtraLite & SlickROM, and must say I prefer XtraLite.
The DPI fits better
I´m currently on Cloudy 2.5 and very pleased with it. I´m told that the Cloudy ROMs are as close to stock as it gets. Well... not regarding the looks... I miss the stock Weather and icons
However... I would like to go back to totally Stock and still not having to go through the KDZ or TOT method... I feel it´s to complicated for me right now. Reason? Well, I like the stock icons and weather better...
Is there any Stock LG G3 Lollipop ROMs out there that is flashable with TWRP?
Only for the T-Mobile D851 variant AFAIK.
Allright... and ROM´s for T-Mobile D851 variant won´t work with International 16gb D855?
Correct
Allright!
I just have to learn about flashing the stock firmware the "hard" way...
