Hi all,
Since the official update to Android M for G3 will arrive sometime next year, I have an inquiry regarding the rooted devices.
First - sorry for my ignorance. I have never developed a ROM, but I believe that's a pretty difficult process.
My question is, what do you think how long would it take for devs to develop the stock-based Android M ROMs for G3?
I'm asking because I'm not sure will I decide to unroot or wait for the first stock ROMs based on M.
Thanks
Shouldnt be too long considering the Cyanogenmod team can port most of their work from their Lollipop builds on G3 over to Android M
Lollipop was long because most G3 devices had to be coded from scratch up
as for stock-based custom roms, they should be available pretty soon after the official LG release. Many devs would debloat, add mods, etc, to stock roms as soon as LG releases the stock firmwares for Android M, which will probably be sometime Q1 2016
Thanks for the answers guys.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there are any developers around willing start working on a Lollipop ROM for our T2 Ultra.
Btw, I'm a software developer (Java, etc, etc) but with no experience in building mobile OSes before but if any dev out there needs help to work on a 5.0 rom for the T2 Ultra and can help me get started I'm on it 100%!
Let me know!
The Lolipop OS is still fresh bro, i don't think there will be any dev working on it right now.. beside that, the update to lolipop version still not released right now...
I just read that many devs already started working on it, including for the Xperia Z.

Perhaps these drivers will make our life easier?

i'm a little impatient actually , since 4.6 beta 5 was the best rom i have ever used on my s4 .
would like to know around when can we expect 5.0 lollipop on the i9505 jflte ??
We don't officially support that device. You would need to keep an eye on the legacy community for an update. Asking for an ETA is really not going to get you an answer either.

I know we will have to see what the future brings but, are there any developers willing to develop custom roms for us Tab S owners?
I know CM12 is Available for the Non-LTE Variants, i am an LTE owner so, i dont have any sort of Lollipop on my T705, was just wondering, since Custom Development for T705 has stopped for a while (besides IronRom which is mainly a 805, and SkyHigh, which is my daily driver)

CM12 is based on Lollipop.
Lollipop was Officially released quite a few months ago, what hasnt been released is Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Product Line.
So my question was, if we are to expect custom development from the current developers for the Tab S when Samsung releases its base rom for the Tab S, since this is a no-so-popular device.

Cm12 is based on lollipop/stock android. Why? Because someone ported/built a working build to make it work. Samsung takes ages to release lollipop.

We will get custom rom development and maybe themes since samsung switched to png format.

See, this was something I was afraid of hearing because wouldn't there be a difference between ported/built working vs official samsung bult that is fully functional? Not saying the other cm12 isn't functional, my insecurity says theres ought to be something between developing a working carbon copy and the real version.

What do you mean with the "real and carbon copy" versions?
Samsung implements a framework on top of android called Touchwiz for their devices, it's more than just a skin, and the personalization takes time. Samsung decides which devices to be updated first based on the sales of the device or if it's a new device as a magnet for sales.
CM(XX) is much closer to the The Stock Android Experience (AOSP), but since Samsung uses a closed code, and drivers, an implementation is never as perfect as an "Official" one. This is mainly due to the fact that CM implementations are more ports than direct implementations, but neither is a copy or the other, just two different approaches, and different outcomes.
I will still continue development of my SkyHigh kernels for LP TouchWiz based firmware. It's what I'll be using ..... unless I manage a miracle to scrounge the cash for the upcoming 8" Tab S2
Once firmware and LP kernel source is released, then I can start .
Hey guys at xda-developers!
So before christmas I recieved an update for my G3 to upgrade to Android L from a rooted KitKat and I want to become rooted again. So can anylne advise me on what to do.
If there is any simple rooting method for LG Android L update.
I want to keep all my data btw.
Thanks. Ask any questions
Im new to the android world and xda so i dont know too much about ANDROID but i know a good amount
Thanks!
You can't root on lollipop, no root available as of yet. If you want root you have to downgrade to kitkat with the flashtool.
Use the LG Flash Tool to downgrade to kitkat (with a 10r build). There are a plethora of guides on how to do this.
Then you root, and install a custom ROM to get back to Lollipop. Cyanogenmod 12 works amazingly well on my D851. It's smoother than the stock ROM. However, you might be able to do the CloudyG3 ROM, which is essentially just what you have now with added features. Assuming that you got the Lollipop update a little while back, your phone sounds compatible. However, if you don't use the QuickCircle Case, I would highly suggest Cyanogenmod 12. I used the case, but made that small sacrifice for this amazing ROM.
Hope I helped!
Hi !
I'm wondering if there will be a ported rom from LG G5 running 7.0 Nougat for our LG G3 ?

Of course, there will. It's only a few 100MB of closed-source binaries compiled for different and more powerful hardware. Every pre-school kid could port to that in just one weekend, just do it.
However, there actually are Nougat custom ROMs based on AOSP or Cyanogen/Lineage for the G3. Not the best time to try that out these days though, with developers being busy collecting and gluing together the remains of what once was cyanogenmod.
