Hi guys
I'm now running LG 4X HD. It has so much dev support and like p880's devs very much. But battery life, heat from Tegra and bugs and lags in AOSP roms are making me tired. All bugs are introduced because of the fact that p880 stopped at 4.1.2 android and sources provided by LG along with it. But devs made 4.4.4 happren anyway
I can exchange my p880 for LG optimus G without paying for it. Question is: is it worth it ?
I would like to know what do you think of dev support of OG:
-Are there good kernel available ?
-Are there bug free 4.4 ROMs ? (p880 have CM, PA, SlimKat, Nameless, OMNI and many others )
-Are the sources of LG 4.4 android available ?
Thank you for answers, I must make the decision, to jump or to stay
EDIT : **** ! I thought I was in Q&A section sorry ! If mod would move this thread I would be happy
DO IT!

I had an Optimus 4X HD 2 months ago, and I was tired and frustrated by this phone, the battery life is terrible, the performance should be more for what it says on paper, the only thing I loved about this phone was the flash
One month I have the Optimus G, coming from 4X HD, and it was the best decision I could make this phone FLIES is very buttery, the battery life is decent, what does a real smartphone and from like 2 weeks ago I was upgraded to KITKAT by LG, is the best phone I've ever had, excellent gaming performance, the only flaw I see so is the camera.
DO IT NOW, you will not regret
Sorry for my english, Google translate.
Thank for info !
But what with the ROMs ?
This shouldn't even be the question. OG is superb phone even today (of course despite camera but 4X has even worse ) and 4X was outdated when it came out.
Damn, I've just read that the phone is so cheap because it is f180 version...
Anyway I can flash custom roms made for e975 ? I know I can convert , but does this mean that I will be able to run e975 ROMs ?
from some points of view G is even prefereable over G2. let alone 4xhd. Do not hesitate a second. and yeah, dev support is better than any other G serie phones.

Yes!, The F180 is the same E975, just having a different modem, but you can convert it to a 975 with no problems, but I tell you now, make a backup of the EFS folder, to avoid problems with the imei, I I can help you with everything you need!, no problem
About the ROMS, Omni, Carbon, Lego ROM (it is very good), among others that are also quite good, however, I liked more the rom stock, it is very fast, smooth and stable as any, and the life of the battery is amazing, hope I've helped

So no real difference beetwen F180 and E975 ? Just flash ROM and F180 baseband after it ? Are there any problems after conversion ? One thing that puts me off about LG stock is the looks of it, so that's why I wanted to know about custom ROMs, if they're stable and smooth.
I also do not care for radio ,Thanks for all the help !
I used to have an LG optimus 4x HD 1 month ago, and change it for an optimus g, and the difference is brutal, the only flat point on this optimus g, is that camera haven't flash aided focus, so low light photos are terrible blurred

If the optimus g is in good condition i say do it. Just know that the roms on the optimus g are no better tho, our roms are not buggy but devs always abandon the projects and leave us with one or two major bugs, aside from cyanogenmod tho most 4.4 roms are pretty stable, then again also a lot of devs always overclock gpu and cpu and disable thermal throttling -_- which is completely unmecesary on this device seriously, that wont compensate for the lag on the rom, but im just bwing butthurt. I say do it, better specs and shares a lot with the Nexus 4.

The baseband is the only difference, for the rest, the optimus G has the best utility which can have any LG, called Freegee (need root), with this application you can make backup of EFS, unlock bootloader, restore EFS, install CWM , EVERYTHING!.
It can be rooted with Towelroot or framaroot, is very easy, if you are installing a new rom, and you have no signal, restores EFS and go!
else you have not mentioned is that there are several models of Optimus G, and each model has different roms, you need to read the guides and tutorials, roms to understand that to serve models.

I mean does the roms have reboots, freezes ? What kinda bugs ? Thought CM would be most stable, how is liquid smooth you are running ?
Official CM, thought it would be rock solid :/

1 - Root with towelroot or framaroot
2 - install Freegee from the play store
3 - Backup EFS
4 - Unlock Bootloader (Mako method)
5 - go to recovery with volume up + power, then move the options with the volume keys and select "Recovery mode" then press power
6 - Install your favorite rom, then the baseband, and enjoy
If you do not run into signal restores EFS with freegee and that's it

Hahaha Nah in my opinion CM sucks, **** always has bugs here and there in every release, reboots and battery drain. Irecommend unofficial omni rom, its the only bugless rom ive tried other than stock, theres a lot to try from tho, most of the bugs our roms have are minor so dont worry, also you can jist use stock kitkat, stable, battery life is amazing and it is pretty fast.

I 100% agree with this. Moved on to official KK Sling on my optimus G when my phone locked up for about 2 hours and when I tried to turn it on again, its screen kept ghosting for 2 or 3 hours I dunno.... I had to keep it turned off in my Fridge and luckily the screen was cleared off again.. Not moving on to any rom containing Custom/CM kernel ever. Damn that almost threw me off the edge about owning an LG phone right there but trouble was the rom.
I'd say Prefer Optimus G over anything (except if the hardware is more recent and powerful and u got wallet for that). Especially, with latest official KK release from LG and its mods, battery life is rock solid and phone doesnt burn your hands.

Okay it seems I will not have to sell my p880
I can buy "damaged" f180 (someone bricked it , it stays at download mode) for around 30 $ I'll just reflash it and use it for some time , try different ROMs and decide whether to stay on p880 If it boots into download mode there's no reason not to be able to unbrick it, yes ?

If it boots into DL mode, you have a VERY good chance of restoring it to stock; basically, it's not bricked. For 30 bucks, what do you have to lose, anyway? Lucky bastard! I always buy my phones cheap, but this is as good as free...
Hi Guys,
G3 has been out for quote a while now but still absolutely no AOSP ROM support it has ? G2 had a lot including CM...any idea if CM or other aosp roms will make it to G3
Thanks

We need a recovery first, then we can wrap our heads around AOSP/CM Roms.

See my response to another thread below:
mrfeuss said:
If these are things that you need then you'll have to be patient. Right now @autoprime @thecubed and @jcase (and probably others) are working on getting root for all devices. There is also only one variant known to have an unlocked bootloader (US T-Mobile, D851) and it has a working TWRP recovery, but no custom ROMs. An unlock or bypass will be required for the other variants before we can expect much more.
Here's a link to the progress by the members I listed above.

well technically its been out nearly a month outside of the USA (and even longer if you count Korea), but even a month is not very long!
So guys still no sign of aosp... G3 stock UI is so heavily modified that it feel laggy and bloated

LG skin isn't that much different from stock Android. Its probably the best out of all the custom skins... Go spend some time with Touchwiz...
Also no lag for me but that's for another thread.
But I can't see there being any custom ROMs for some time.

Actually I believe that the temp recovery hack that was found (TWRP), means it should be possible, its not a matter of recovery, its more a matter of devs, shouldn't be long I believe, since hardware is similar to the G2 (except the screen resolution and camera laser), it won't be long until a device config is ready and then all us ROM builders can bring you guys great roms!

then we eagerly await your release of the first AOSP ROM
until then quit being entitled. . .
so i was using stock kitkat rom for almost a year now. yes i havent updated to lollipop cause i was rooted.
and now im planning to install a custom rom, because stock rom are not as smooth as they were as they first were.
and im looking for a change, lollipop roms preferably.
so which roms suits me the most, cloudy or cyanidel rom? the important thing of course is battery life and performance.
thank you!
Cloudy all the way may have to do a few tweaks to get to your liking on top of xcam for replacent for stock app i flash all kinds of roms and crap and always come back to cloudy xposed works pretty good there are a few modules i have probs with but no major deal breakers
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------
My opinion of coarse i like almost all the roms out for g3 multi varients all of them have there own special quirks i like
Cloudy is based on stock so you have all the advantages of the stock rom like:
-Camera driver
-Good battery life
-Stability
And for cyanide, its based on cyanogenmod, the adventages are:
-Smooth like butter
-Features
The choice is up to you depending of what you really want. Personally I'd go with a stock based rom because of the camera driver and the stability, I add xposed and I can have a lot of features.
But you can try one, do a nandroid backup, try the other and go back if you don't like it!
okay i think im gonna go for cloudy since i actually prefer stock feelings too.
one more question, can cloudy use lgg3tweakbox, Xinsta, Xstana using xposed without no problem?
some people says lg g3 on lollipop cant use some modules for e.g lgg3tweakbox
I use grav box tweekbox major one that dont work for me is advanced power menu
When u setup cloudy make sure u click in aroma installer to use exposed also you havento manually install the framework after u flash framwork zip youll thing u bootlooped but first boot after exposed takes a couple on min

I tried the following roms for the LG G3:
crDROID (AOSP Based Rom - Android 5.1.1)
Cloudy3G 2.5 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
Fulmics 1.6 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
My opinion:
crDroid : It was the smoothest rom I've tried until now but the I was disappointed by the battery life. The camera app is not the same as the stock rom camera app so the pictures quality is inferior.
Cloudy3G 2.5 : It was laggy for me, and it has a few bugs like the UI crashing when the phone is charging. The GPS has bugs as well. Cloudy is not being developed anymore.
Fulmics 1.6 : For now is the best stock based rom I've tried. It's smooth and it's always based on the latest updated stock rom from LG. Even better, the updates are via OTA so it's faster to update to the latest version of this custom rom.
Been really enjoying cloudy and I am super picky. I think you will be impressed, the developer did a really good job. Its working better than stock for me and feels quick no lag here.

For me, Fulmics ROM is better than Cloudy. Its much smoothier and I had gps problems on Cloudy.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
so cloudy has gps problems? i used gps a lot that could be a problem for me.
i never check fulmics before.
what about cyanidel? no one mentions cyanidel?
so i switc hed to fulmics 2.0 just updated 2.1 and i love it smoother than cloudy and about the same battery life

I think it's because not a lot of people right now has been using cyanide (no updates since forever) and rr and bliss pop has taken the cm based limelight
Cloudy is okay but have some issues that will make you wanna flash another rom
Fulmics is much better but personally i've been losing data connectivity every once in a while.
Maybe try old timers like Lion, Chup Chups or Spartaxxx if you want stock
Or you can always try the cm based ones... like cyanide
Hi, I'm a bit new around here and I'd have a few quick questions.
I want to see what a few custom ROMs have to offer and I have a few spare phones to play around with.
LG G2 mini
LG G2
LG G3
Which of these should I mess with? The mini seems the most expendable and is in factory fresh condition while the other two are all set up and in use. Also I know about roughly only cryanogenmod, any other stuff I should look into?
G3 can be recovered even from hard brick.
You can easily go with that.
Go with the g3 and try exodus, its the best rom I tried!
Allright, I'll give it a try. Thanks! Exodus looks interesting, I'll think I'll be switching roms till I find one that fits. Going for something preferably barebones.

You can give a try to Fulmics 5.3. It's really awesome.
For LG G3 you have to consider Fulmics as stock-based rom: much stable and customizable.
As CM-based rom I can't forget to cite Resurrection Remix: it's absolutely the most featured rom, there is no competitor at all.
However v5.7.3 seems to be unstable. Wait for v5.7.4.
As AOSP-based rom try Dirty Unicorns: full featured but lacking some CM setting (like LiveDisplay) and CM app (File Manager and others).
Are you interested to kernels too?
The best ever is Gabriel-MM (for stock-based rom only).
You can use Kernel Adiutor, Synapse with modded UKM or modded Stweaks to customize it under many aspects.
For AOSP/CM try aCC Kernel: the worthy heir of Nebula Kernel.
Full customizable with Kernel Adiutor or its modded version purposed in thread.
However it seems suffering charging issues on v1.6. I hope to be wrong.
Gold luck with your LG G3... I forgot, as recovery you may consider not only the official TWRP, but the modded one too purposed in thread.
It provides some improvements and other backupable partitions like modem and efs.
