Ehy everyone.
I switched from S6 to G4, bought a new one (H815) from Amazon (Italy).
Why did I switch to a new phone? Because, as much as I loved the S6's hardware I could not stand Samsung's take on Android L.
What made me switch to the G4? The fact that CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly started to roll out for it.
But now I'm asking myself if I should just wait for a Snapshot release instead of diving into the nightlies.
So... What should I do? Just wait for a Snapshot release or try out CM 12.1 Nightlies? If I do try the nightlies, is there a way to install LG's Stock 5.1.1 back (I've found the KDZ for 6.0, but not for 5.1.1).
If I decide to wait for a Snapshot, how much long do you think I'd have to 'wait' for it to release? Please understand that I'm not in a hurry, I'm just asking for advice!
Thanks and take care!
Hi,
I switched from S6 edge to G4.
First of all, if You don't like TochWiz, You will hate the Stock LG.
CM builds are Nightlies, but good enough for a daily driver. You should read the CM threds in Android Development section.

Hello old friends! A long time since I've posted on here, have happily had a Nexus 5 for the last year. Bought an LG G3 D855 and am horrified by the non-stock-android experience - give me my nexus 5 back!
I've seen that the LG G3 officially supported cyanogenmod nightlies are out - how long do you think it will be before the first stable is released? I am rusty on the ol' custom ROM scene and would rather stick to Stable releases.
Thanks!
already some time the CM12 roms are working, the only thing that has not been resolved is the video recording in 4K, but the rest is great, lasting battery well, is not heating up too much, and has no lags, the rom is fluid unlike the stock rOMs. can install that will not regret it. :good:
Why would you knowingly post in the wrong section?

Nightlies are stable enough to use...
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..

I'm new to Xiaomi & MIUI, so apologies if this is a stupid question! I've installed the Xiaomi.eu ROM on my new Mi5s, and I'm pretty happy with it, but there are a few bits and pieces that I'd just prefer to be native.
Looking at the timelines from the Mi5, it seems like there was an unofficial CM version within about 2 months of release, an then an official one in September when the kernel source was released. I'm trying to work out how the unofficial one was built without the source, and how long that might take for the 5s (especially given that the hardware is fairly similar to the 5) - I assume it's anyone's guess as to when we'll get the kernel sources?
hopefully not to long. I would prefer a new decent rom on the Phone
So the hardware on my 8.4 is still amazing, but Kitkat is getting really really old. I see many custom firmwares available, and most of them say the camera doesn't work.
So first of all, which custom ROMs better than Kitkat are stable enough to be daily drivers? And second, do any of them have the cameras working?
Thanks!

I think you'll find it's just the versions based on Nougat that the camera doesn't work on.

Hmm I see. Maybe I was looking at Marshmallow threads in which people were also talking about Nougat builds.
Any recommendations?
No reply I see...
Did you try some different firmwares? I am also looking for a good working firmware. Can you perhaps share which one works good for every day use?
Thx in advance!
Just give any you like the look of a go. I like Lineage and 14.1 is available for the SM-T320 thanks to the dedication of members here. I can't imagine being on KitKat in 2018. Even LOS 14.1 (Nougat) is a bit of a throwback these days although it remains a popular version.
Hello.
I also bought a used t320 because the Hardware is better than modern lowcost tablets and 1 h after delivery it was already rooted and twrp ed. ?
I choose vanilla unicorns which is based in Marshmallow 6.0.1 . I am quite happy with it so far.? Cameras working , pretty mich all is running fine. I found no bugs so far.

I have used LOS 14.1 on both a Moto G (2015) and a Moto X (2014) and am a big fan of this ROM (also used CM 12 on a Nook back in the day.) I recently acquired a used Moto G4 (not plus) for use as my daily driver. I have decided to stick with stock Nougat until LOS 15 is stable. Having not really followed development threads much, I'm curious if there's a typical amount of time from an initial build to a stable ROM. I know there's no exact answer but I wonder if there's a range that often applies. E.g., 3-6 months or 6-12 months or ??
If this is a stupid question, don't call me an idiot, just don't respond!
