Hey all, just read that the Nexus 5x made by LG has a stock Android ROM.
Would this mean the laser focus and other camera quality enhanchments could be ported for us G3 users. Or am i to enthousiastic.

You clearly dont have a understanding of how android development works
If you want camera quality enhancements you have to recode the drivers for it from scratch and its not as easy as you think
Offcourse i understand that it is not easy. But due to the closed source framework of the official g3 ROM. Porting is impossible. Now what i ment or intented was, the Nexus would be plain Android. And sources would be availble. So would it be 'more' possible to get it to run.

Hey guys,
So a while ago flyme released an official port for the Nexus 5, which works pretty well on my N5.
I was wondering if it possible to port this over the the G3 (D855). Hardware is very similar and its CM based, so you would think its possible without any big headaches.
I've had a go at porting it, but no luck so far. Anyone with some developer experience want to give this a go?
They also have the new MX4 Pro flyme rom on their website, which is made for our screen res, but im assuming that will be a lot harder to port?
Cheers.
Tom
++ that would be nice to see on G3:good:

Nope, no changes on stock ROMs.
Probably you will see any change if you flash AOSP rom but thats normal because AOSP dont have LG camera drivers, modules, etc..
Hy guys,
I have some questions.
I love my LG Optimus G.
Switched from the LG Gpro back to the G because the G is much better.
But i thought there would come some more official updates.
If you look inside our G the specs are nearly the same like the new phones.
If you oc a bit and play with kernel.
The G is better then Gpro and OG2 for shure.
But where are the new firmwares?
Is no cool dev out there who can port a new G4 rom?
Is that not possible?
I treyd the new cm and aosp roms but they are not really stable for me.
It would be great if someone could make a LAST Super Cool LG Rom.
Maybe we could find some nice devs???

Note: As a long time lurker who never posts my response is not just to your post but to other lurkers who may be less knowledgeable.
What MasterFURQAN said! I appreciate LG's proprietary overlay for Jellybean and Kitkat as well but wanted my still quality hardware to have more current software.
The last LG based firmware which I used until about three weeks ago was Sling Kahroba. It is based on the last official LG version of Android for our device which was not released in America. I am not a developer or ROM porter but I imagine the significant hardware differences like much higher screen resolution, fingerprint reader, camera resolution, ROM size etc make porting from an essentially unrelated platform (CPU, GPU, Camera libs) too complicated.
You do not specify what Optimus G model you have but my American version (E970) is running fine with Nitrogen M 6.0.1 (Jan 25 build) with the E970 kernel flashed after. I am not much of a gamer and can't quote Antutu scores but it is stable and fully functional with one small camera related exception. The fine focus on print within a 18 inches or so is not quite there and I use another free camera app, not Google's, because it is more stable in video mode.
I skipped Lollipop and tried other Marshmallow ROMs in this forum but Nitrogen seems to work best for me now.
I used e975, nitrogen works fine for me too. I didn't find big issue with and this rom updated continuously. I am very happy that my old phone can have android 6.0. Even the new phone that I bought for my wife and daughter still in kitkat and lollipop..

Hello everyone. I'm currently running LOS 14.1 on my D855 and loving it. I know that you cannot get the same camera quality in CM/LOS based ROMs as with stock but I'm not a big camera user therefore I don't mind that much.
However, I will be travelling abroad next week to various cities and I know I will be using my phone's camera quite a lot. Therefore I would like to install (just for this week) a stock based ROM with the best possible camera quality. Doesn't matter if it's Lollipop or Marshmallow.
I'm waiting for your suggestions.

Try Fulmics 6.9, its a great ROM and has all the original camera drivers so the picture quality is excellent

Thanks for the reply.
Doesn't it matter that Fulmics 6.9 is based on LG G5? What I mean is: will it have the same camera quality (and original camera drivers) as a stock-based LG G3 ROM?

Almost same camera Quality with 4k recording

I prefer Stock type camera rather than CM, because it has 60fps mode and the user interface looks better for me IMHO. I don't think you'll get noticeable better quality photos with ROM changing as you do not change the optic and actual camera hardware.
We expect these LG devices will be treated to Nougat soon:
LG G4
LG G5
LG Magna
LG Spirit
LG V10

The article does say about it.
I don't think so, but i would like it

While this does sound great, it does sound a bit too great imo. The article doesn't say if it was announced, or even rumoured from the inside - it's just their own speculation. Nevertheless, hope it pans out.
There's no way we're getting Nougat. Also 1GB is a bit too low for Nougat. I hope I'm wrong though. I noticed that they "expect" OP2 and X to get Nougat, but it's widely known by now that they're doomed in terms of official software updates.
I don't think we're getting nougat update at all. They've released many devices after spirit with mm on them ,so they'll prioritize them first and lg never gave more than a single os update to their mid range devices.
LG Stylo 2, that phone got Nougat update, but hw is a bit same with spirit, also there are config files in kernel. They could made it as I was managed to boot Nougat on Spirit! :d
