Just wondering what your thoughts are compared with the two batteries and also camera. I can't decide which to keep now that both are rooted.
If there is anyone who has switches from. The g5 that is
You have both? Why bother with someone else's opinion if you have both lol

Well. I had the m9 so that left a very bad battery experience. I may have a bad. M10 cause the camera only focuses about a quarter of the time and also flashes the whatever thing is blocked when my finger is no where near it

That can be easily fixed by a software update. From my experience, lg ui isn't very good and sometimes lags over time like touchwiz. Htc sense is the closest to stock Android fluidity

Definitely check if you're updated. This was a known issue with the earlier builds but seems to have subsided for most people.
One thing to keep in mind is that it'll be easier to use custom ROMs at least in the near future since the G5 only just achieved root.

Don't.. it's quite terrible really. I'm not seeing anything special over stock Android. I don't see any of those neat features shown in the screenshots.
So either this dump isn't a real dump of the shipping phone or I'm not looking in the right places.
I've got 3G working and most everything else working, but am having serious gfx issues making the ROM unusable.
I'm not really terribly interested in Meizu M9 but was bored and up for a challenge. If I can't get it working fully tonight, I'll post what I have and someone else can takeover.

No idea, I wasn't impressed months ago when they announced it. Only reason I am doing this is because I figured it would be pretty easy to do. I was partly right.
I'm not sure what is really going on with the gfx.. but there is a new M9 firmware released a few days ago.
http://www.meizume.com/meizu-m9-firmware/12641-meizu-m9-firmware-v1-0-2-14504-a.html
Gonna try using that to see if it's any better and if not, just release as-is cuz I'm kinda over it.
Graphics issues are fixed... I should be able to release this sometime tonight once I fix up a few other issues and update it to the latest m9 release.

There is no all-purpose porting method. Sure some things work on most AOSP roms (kernel, drivers, etc.) but every ROM is different and it really just comes down to experience and troubleshooting skill.
Is it just me or is anyone else here really impressed with Sense 6.0? I mean theres still a lot of bloat, but the level of polish on the UI is wonderful. I feel like they have really improved since my ol' Thunderbolt!
I really like Sense 6. I prefer Stock android, but Sense is pretty good. Definitely better than Touchwiz.

I agree with this. After having a samsung device for 3 years and seeing it the same on multiple devices, I had no idea how much I was missing out on. Samsung likes to throw so much in your face. I like Sense 6's cleanness.
What roms are you guys running? I just got this phone, S-OFF'd / rooted and all that. Im actually on AT&T's network, if that makes any difference. Anything cool you could suggest for this phone in particular? Also do you know of a way besides reflashing the rom to fix blinkfeed if you removed the facebook app?
I've still got the m7 and since it updated from sense 5 to 6 it's been really buggy and slow. It's probably a different story for the m8 though :/

switched from a note 3 yesterday and I have to say that Sense is miles and miles better than touchwiz and infinitely better than it used to be back in the days of the G2 and similar phones from the period. Still adjusting to the smaller screen but that will soon pass. overall a very well designed and built phone. Hopefully they give us VoLTE soon.

Perhaps so, but
1. That says more about Touchwiz than anything.
2. This is my first LG smartphone, so I have no other frame of reference to compare, and the G3 UI is actually tolerable. Which is more than I can say for most of the other phones I've owned.

Yeah I own almost every phone that comes out.... currently I own the M8, One plus One and G3 from the android side. I keep switching between all three and still I can't pick a clear winner since they all are awesome to use it on a daily basis. From the LG side this is the first phone I actually like and planning to keep for little long because their previous UI was horrible and cartoonish and this one feels so much better polished. As far as the S5 and touchwiz I couldn't tolerate the damn thing even for a week.

You can potentially get a few extra minutes with a custom kernel, but battery life is primarily determined by usage habits, which varies with each person.

I did it, made a smart switch backup, update via side load, restore backup. There was some re doing of a lot of stuff but I'm running MM.
Honestly, in my opinion MM is better in every regards. I miss weather on the lockscreen and the lock screen swipe effects, but those are a small price to pay for the battery life and performance improvements

I'm getting tired of my g5 with no root

I root, Xposed, rom and adblock. Nothing special.

Thank you for the reply. I'll probably pick my m10 up today. I'm done screwing with LG g5 no root ☺
http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g5-on-t-mobile-bears-unlockable-bootloader-afterall/
G5 has an unlockable bootloader (and thus root is possible if not out already.) In fact, the process is basically the same as the Nexus phones. The G4 and V10 were the same way.
OP, the devs over at the G5 T-Mobile subforum just achieved root+twrp last night. Take a look if you're still holding on to the phone.

Ya the s7 has the easiest to use camera too. I still haven't made my mind up. The g5 camera is much easier to use. I am no expect, I just point and shoot. The battery on the g5 seems to be okay but you can swap it out unlike the m10.

Going back to S-ON is a bit trickier without a RUU. If anything is messed up, you brick the phone. I wouldn't set the secure flag just in case. T-Mobile takes Knox tripped phones and that's permanent so I don't see why they wouldn't take S-OFF which is not.
