Do you think this will be an easy port to bring a ROM to our T-Mobile devices, or will we need a radio update (like the TW 4.3 ROMs are requiring)?

I think it will be an easy port.
There are already 4.4 roms for the S4 coming out. All of the custom roms like CM and AOKP are ultimately based on the 4.4 source.

Sweet! That's what I assumed as well. I won't say I can't wait because I can, but I am certainly anxious. Kit Kat runs very lovely on my Nexus 7 'S, both 2012 & 2013.
Ok, so I got a G3 (UK SIM-free). Comes with KK 4.4.2. I've Rooted, installed recovery (with modem/EFS support and backed up everything) and customised with Xposed modules. New lollipop ROM has been released but I'm not sure I can do the things I need or want to do with Xposed on KK with the Lollipop custom ROMs currently available, like Gravitybox's expanded desktop options to remove dock or DS battery saver's tasty battery life gains..
Trouble is most of the custom ROMs that look good Android Now or Chupa Chups etc. only list Lollipop ROMs now and I can't find the last KK versions of these custom ROMs for download.
So what do I do? Do I stick with my customised 4.4.2? Do I go for a custom Lollipop ROM and risk losing the look and feel I like? Does any one know where a list of the last (most stable?) 4.4.4 KK versions of the good custom ROMs would be?
KK + Xposed for the win. Don't look back.
LP is not impressive enough for me to give up my Xposed. Running 45-50 modules (yes, 45-50) I refuse to give up my Xposed.

There aren't actually any good custom 4.4.x roms for G3. They all were prematurely terminated bc of 5.0 release.
Well, most Xposed modifications aren't doable without it. Try to live without it for a week, see what it's like.

SlimKat is pretty much as good as KK is going to get for these phones. Not supported or updated anymore, but the best all-around ROM for the G3's wanting 4.4.x
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CM 11 is still supported / updated via nightlies (even if fewer and farther between updates now with CM 12 up and running)? Unless things have changed in the past couple of weeks...

It is, but AFAIK there are no official builds for G3, so you'll have to compile it yourself. Plus, the device layer (HAL, etc) is incomplete, so there will be bugs.

Really? How good can the Lollipop ROMs be then? They really are immature.
I really need Xposed, don't like the dock, at all. Use PIE via LMT.

Sorry, I probably should have said I am only considering modified stock custom ROMs. I didn't buy a phone with such a good camera to lose the majority of the function.

I never said that lolipop roms are good, i said that all G3 rom makers forgot about 4.4 and moved on to buggy future. Current 5.0 roms suck, they drain battery twice as fast, they lag, they have inferior memory management, etc...
We have to wait for good stock-based customs. At least until 20L and apktool 2.0 RC4 release. After that, we will have a good base and will be able to decompile and recompile any LG apk, which would allow for some serious mods.
Exposed until L is ironed out. The G3 camera is excellent. Xcam for me.
Don't leave home without it.
Long story short, custom ROM'S never be good as official ESPECIALLY for LG G3, you just need to understand that, for some people it's ok but for some don't. All you need is a root and MAYBE a custom kernel. PEACE.
I found lollipop is faster especially with chrome, yes, I gave up xposed but worth it
Sorry, I have been pretty dumb. So LG went from 4.4.2 to 5.0 with the G3 and there are no customised stock 4.4.4 ROMs? That being the case, I might as well stay on 4.4.2, get to debloating and sort out the annoying boot animation and sound.
Any prefered/recommended method for debloating? Anything else I should look into doing to my stock 4.4.2 ROM?
I have a question, are any of the lolipop roms working fairly well on the 5110? And if so which ones?
Also if not what kitkat roms does anyone recommend?

Try Cm and Pac.
Both are stable and working well beyond the, "fairly well" level that you are looking for.
I just flash my 5110 w/ PACman Rom. It's ok. A little hiccups here and there.
CM 12.1 has been flawless for me.
Does S-Pen work with w/ PACman Rom?
Been checking everyday hoping for some release based off of the official Sprint MM rom.
Very discouraging. Has everyone moved on to the S7 or some other phone?

Hey bro!
Check this thread out, make sure to read EVERYTHING!!! (Page 1 - Whatever it is..)

The reason i have not built a custom MM ROM for the N4 (PC1 or PD1) is because I have been working on a N5 MM port. I would much rather run the N5/S7 MM port rom than our outdated TW of the PC1/PD1 roms. It's hard to go back to the older TW software without theme engine support etc.

Great thanks for this news, I found my MM is having some issues, and keep waiting for your MM ROM everyday!:fingers-crossed:
The N5 MM port has some unique challenges in framework which is a bit different than Lollipop. It takes a lot of time to port these things and i do what i can when i can. I also have to take extended breaks due to how mental this task is at times. But i'll get it sorted out as soon as i can. In the meantime freeza has been working on a custom PC1/PD1 rom that will be a nice change from the pure stock rom.
Thank You for continuing to support the N4 with your talent. Very excited and looking forward to your release.

Right now I am on TW 4.4 and I am looking for a rom that has good battery performance and that is less laggy. I need BT to work because I heard some don't work. Also, what is the difference between official and unofficial roms? Anyways, thanks for the help and I hope we can find the right rom for me.
