Optimus G and Nexus Roms?

I'm considering buying this phone since the 16 gb on the nexus are not enough for me. But I don't trust LG's update policy and launching it with ics confirms they are still behind in that departments. My question is, since the hw is almost identical, will devs be able to port roms from the nexus to the G?

Yes. Assuming that the bootloader gets unlocked. That's being worked on now.

Yep. It will be very easy as well, since the devices are even more similar than the Galaxy S and Nexus S. Should only take a few files to port from one to the other.

I'm considering the same phone too, just because it's so close to the nexus. Do you think the lte will still work?

Yes. It may not work immediately but, it should be doable.

never not giving you my p6

P6 instead of your N5 or using them side by side?

I was all for getting the nexus 5 when it came out after having the P6 a few months, but heard bad things about the battery. On a full charge I get 2 days easily, sometimes more. Doubt the nexus 5 could match that.
I eventually got a hold of one in a shop last week and I was impressed, but after getting used to the thinness of the P6 i think i'll stick with it!
roll on january and kitkat.

I maybe could, because the lack of custom stuff on the P6

How is the quality of the p6 does it feel it well made like the iPhone 5 ?

I received the P6, used it for couple of days, and I compared it to Nexus 5. So this is what I think. P6 is the Best looking and very high quality android phone right now. But it has some flaws with ergonomics. The sides feel very sharp and because of that it feels very uncomfortable in hands. I feel like I'm going to drop it all the time ( when trying to unlock the screen or take pictures). And the software looks interesting like mix of iOS and Android, but its slow very slow if I compared it to Nexus 5. I even updated the software to b111 and it got smoother but not that much, and I think right now if I wait for Huawei to upgrade the software to make it more smoother its still is going to have glitches. Something is wrong with the processor or the GPU. So I decides to return it . thank all of u for replying and answering some questions. But its better to own the device and use it yourself to know which is better for yourself.

Well clearly it wouldn't be as smooth as the Snapdragon 800 powering a kitkat, on the Nexus 5. The CPU and GPU are no comparison.
But compared to other launcher skins coming on devices of other brands, the launcher is impressive and smooth enough. The b111 rom you used was 3 months older and there was some newer roms that provide better speed, but nonetheless it wouldn't be equal as the Nexus 5 as of yet, although i haven't used a Nexus 5. Hopefully the Kitkat+emui 2.0 upgrade coming January would provide better performance in terms of UI and daily usage.

LG G3 or hold out for Nexus 6?

Not sure what to do. Should I jump to G3 or hold out for nexus 6. I have a nexus 5 and love it. I have been going cross-eyed from over thinking this and would love some opinions. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Even if there is Nexus 6, it probably won't be released until early November late October

Get the g3, the Nexus 6 will probably be fantastic, but if you put off for that one, you'll put off for whatever comes up next. Get the phone and enjoy it. Life is short, get many phones.

I'm getting the g3 and I'm wanting to see what Samsung has in line for the note 4 but the nexus 6 is on my radar as well

I am unimpressed with the G3, and plan on shipping it back tomorrow. The "amazing" screen looks like garbage next to my iphone 5s. I'm holding out for the Nexus 6.

BTW The iPhone 5s has a 640p screen I.e. not even standard HD which is 720p and the S5 is 1080p so I hope it looks better. I never understood iphones 'retina' anyway. To me it's more of a marketing ploy but I digress.
The N6 isn't really confirmed or even leaked so we may not know until right before a possible release. I would stick with the G3 and or read through the topic I linked above.

If you are a nexus fanboy I'd say wait because the nexus 6 could very possibly be the very last nexus phone.

Get the g3. I have the n4 and had the n3. Wasn't too interested in the n5. One thing I am certain is that the n6 will NOT have a sdcard

Why not both? Buy and enjoy the G3 now and sell it when the N6 comes out. You can probably sell it for near the price of the N6.

I've had almost all the NEXUS phones, the last two really didn't impress me at all. Too much compromise in the software for the "pure Android" experience. It might have been cool a couple years ago when manufacturers would bloat the phone down like crazy, well... Samsung's TouchJizz is still a major offender but other manufactures have really slimmed and optimized their UI's while adding a ton of useful features. It's now to the point where I feel pure Android is lacking way too much. Also I never had a good camera experience nor good battery life with ANY of my Nexus phones. It also seems like Nexus devices uses lower end components to meet their price quota, lower quality LCD panels, lower binned CPU/GPU's that thermal throttle like crazy, mediocre camera sensors, small batteries ect...
No more Nexus phones for me, unless they release something really extraordinary but I really doubt it with their budget price cap. After owning both the Nexus 5 and G2, it was incredible how much better the G2 was in everything from software, battery life, screen quality and camera. The G2 just seemed way better engineered and thought out, sure it was "almost" twice as much off contract as the Nexus 5 but this really was a case of "you get what you pay for".

I came from the Nexus 5 to G3 couldn't be more happy! Had enough of terrible battery life from the Nexus 5, will not be getting a Nexus phone ever again.

Agreed, I was also pretty unimpressed by both the Nexus 4 and 5. So the OP should just go ahead and get the G3 now. Then he can wait for the N6 release, and when everyone and their mother has reviewed it to death and found any faults, he can then proceed by selling the G3 and buying the N6 if he think it's worth it That's my plan anyway.

i have the n5 as well..it wont last me not even 2 hours...just using instagram snapchat..texts and facebook..sometimes browsing..ive had the n4 before and i dont think i will get the n6..as far as i heard..it is going to have a 5.2 screen..no sd..no ir blaster..the battery will suck..non removable battery it will probably not top out the g3

Iv seen a Nexus 6 on Craigslist for $600. Im thinking, my G3 is everything that is. Im running Lollipop fast and stable. The display isnt as big but 6" is too much for pocket
Resolution and pixel count are on par. Ram and Rom is on par, plus I can add micro sd and change battery. I love my G3 and Im on freakin Verizon. G3 is the best phone out right now....

What Was Your Prior Smartphone & Are You Keeping The G3?

I have a S5 and I will not keep both. It is early yet but after a few days I think the S5 is the goner.
I just cannot put the G3 down. Is is very comfortable to use, the feel is great, and the weight is neglible as far as I'm concerned. It hasn't given me any problems yet, I have enjoyed everything I have tried so far, the display is very good, and I'm happy with the battery life.
Well done LG, bravo!

M8. Definitely keeping the G3.

Galaxy S3. Definitely keeping the G3, it's an upgrade in every way.

I sold my n5 to buy the g3, hoping it would help me stop wanting to keep flashing roms every couple days. I loved doing it but it got out of control. But now I'm just hoping for a stock Rom that gets rid of the lag I experience typing and using the recents.

EVO 4G LTE. I'm loving the G3, first non-HTC smartphone I've ever owned. I still like my EVO and I'll keep it for a while unless I get a good offer to sell it, but I definitely wouldn't have any other phone on the market right now.

Came from an S5. Like everything about the G3 more EXCEPT for the camera.

What makes it better? Looking at a lot of pictures from both on phonearena, I felt the G3 was better overall. It seemed to be just as good at most things, but then was much better at night and a little bit better in HDR. But they also don't have much motion in the pictures, etc.

I had a GS5. I am on AT&T but had a T-Mobile version rooted and custom rom. I couple of things for me are making me lean towards the G3. The screen obviously. Second is the UI. With a custom rom you still couldn't get the AOSP feel to the GS5. You are already closer with a stock G3 UI. With Nova and a few tweaks you are very close. Finally I am thinking we will get the bootloader unlocked and be in heaven. Still though, its a close call. The amoled on the S5 was a better screen overall and with the capacitive buttons the size advantage is not that great. The S5 didn't have the humming issue with headphones and AUX cables. Overall though I think the G3 will stay.

Coming from a m7 and I'm about 99% I'm keeping my g3. 11 more days to decide if I can live with a locked boot loader

Nexus 5 here. Almost definitely keeping the G3. Better screen and better battery life are key. LG's it's definitely the best skin I've encountered.
Plus, my Nexus 5 just feels so tiny now.

Nexus 5x vs samsung galaxy s6

Please give me opinion i have LG G3 but i want to change device and dont want to pay to much for latest flagships and whant to ask you guys what you think about this 2 phones.What you think about nexus 5x is it better phone over s6.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I prefer a Nexus over any other phone. Not for the design, not for the specs, ... Freedom is everything for me in a phone. Freedom to root, to unlock bootloader, to relock bootloader... and still with warranty. Plus, N5X has an incredible camera this year.

But is ois big problem can you focus easy ?

The camera is one of the 5x's best features. It focuses easily and pictures are taken effortlessly. At close distances (2m or less I believe) it uses laser auto focus such as your LG device.

Camera takes great pictures, but lacks support of recording [email protected] fps. This is an disadvantage comparing to G3.

It all depends what you like. If you like Samsung type devices with overlays then get the S6. If you like a wide variety of custom roms and kernels and all run wonderfully then get the Nex. I used to always get the latest flashship from Samsung back in the day and after experiencing Nexus and XDA I'm all Nex. In my opinion Nexus has the best devs and fact is roms run ALOT better on a Nexus vs anything else. Less bugs, no bugs. I've had many devices since Android began and I love my Nexus's more than any! Now they are making Nexus phones with beefed up specs and cameras. I'm happier than ever. ?
Ps: If I was you I'd wait a few more months and grab one of the next Nexus devices.

Stock Android (supported til end of 17) vs TouchWiz

S6 slightly more expensive than N5x (at least in Germany atm)
comparable hardware specs and quality incl camera
I think both devices are different enough to make a decision if you answer what's more important for you.

I want to ask about the birtgtness about nexus 5x is it good for sunlight in day because on lg g3 its a litbe bit hard to see.

Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's not the brighest of all displays, but it's alright. Comes down to what you want to do with it in bright sunlight.
I only miss OIS when recording 4k vids, there's no way for me to get them shake-free unless using a tripod or resting the phone somewhere. Rest of the time there are no problems. There's also a hack to enable EIS on the N5x (it's a N6p feature, but they share camera), needs root though iirc.

Is nexus 5x with android N a beast or no.I think the s6 will be best choice and for sure it will be updated to android N the s6.

If you don't care about root (Verizon S6 doesn't have root past lollipop) and just want a solid reliable basic phone, I would go with the S6. I have both and the S6 is my daily driver. Main reason is I am on Verizon and they don't really support unlocked devices and when i tried my Nexus it was dropping calls. However, i didn't put any effort to make it better. I'm on my Nexus flashing all the time and i need my S6 in case I get a phone call. Nexus however is far more fun and I would get rid of my S6 before I got rid of my Nexus.

I want phone with nice and smooth performance and nice camera and i hope s6 will get android N btw i will buy international s6.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I have just exchanged from a unlocked s6 to the nx5, best move I have ever contemplated and done. I have until getting a gs6 always been a Nexus fan, from a Nexus one all the way till a Nexus 5 they have always been the device that suits me. Until the s6 came out with the new shiny glass casing I thought well this new device needs a try ? god I was so wrong to take the GS route the software is SH-IT! I rapidly traded my device back to a N5X and have never looked back ??

But for sure s6 will have better performance than nexus 5x
