reetings forum. I have owned the D682 for quite a while but i am very much interested in trying some custom roms that can help me experience lollipop on my device. Could there be any roms that were made for the D682??

I have an offer through Kijiji to buy the Rogers LG G3 (D852). I am currently an owner of a Nexus 5. A lot of things about the G3 are very tempting for me especially in regards to camera and screen size with small bezels. However I also like trying out what third party development has to offer. After going through these forums most of what I see is simply for D855 and D850. So, a couple of questions:
1. Rooting and "unlocking" bootloader: Is Purpledrake compatible with the d852 and can the d852 be "bumped" to have TWRP?
2. Lollipop: I'm aware that LG G3 now has Lollipop but are any builds compatible with the d852?
3. "Stock Android": By this I mean "not LG's skin", is there any way to get stock android or anything similar (CM12/PA/etc.) onto the the LG G3? I plan to use LG's firmware for the most part but the option to load an AOSP rom would be nice.
4. Backwards compatibility with AT&T model: Would ROMs that are available for the D850 work with the D852 since both are similar hardware?
5. Debloating: After rooting, can the phone be debloated to increase performance? I'm assuming LG has added a fair share of bloated software onto the stock ROM.
I really want to own this phone (the Nexus 5 just has HORRENDOUS battery life and camera for me) but the only thing pushing me away is the lack of development, if these questions can be answered and I can at least be provided with some hope for the future I will definitely consider buying the G3, thank you for any help in advance!
1. You can root it with Stump root
2. At the moment no.
3. There is CM12 but for D855. Carbon and Mahdi are also for D855. For D852 there is no AOSP rom.
4. No, it is not compatible.
5. Of course it can.
My D852 is rooted with Purpledrake and also BUMPED with TWRP recovery.
In the General section, read the Canadian Users thread and there are some converted D855 ROMS for D852.
ROMS are slowly but surely gaining traction. [I think there's a bit of a pause now as devs have moved from KK roms and now working on Lollipop ROMS]
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.
Hi Guys,
Like to hear some inputs from users that went from KitKat to Lollipop, or vice versa.
From what I have read so far, KitKat seems to be the smoother ROM and some users have reported lag and performance issues with Lollipop?
What are the KitKat ROMs that are available? It seems most developers are moving onto Lollipop now?
Thanks much!
Personally, I don't have any problems w/ lag using LP (5.0.1) on a D851. There are a number of 4.4.x based ROMS for the G3 that can be found here...

Scroll down about 3/4 of the page to the "KitKat, Android 4.4x" section.
Do folks mostly use ROMs cooked specifically for the D851, or are the ones in the general G3 section considered fair game without compromises? I'm coming from the S4 which was picky about models/ROM matching...
You can only flash ROMs that are compatible w/ your phones model, for ex. D851, D852, D855, etc.
I have no problem with lollipop ? and like it more than kitkat. I've noticed with L I get more battery life and it's smoother. All the xposed mods that I've used on kitkat now work fine on L. I have no plans to go back to kitkat. Currently using cloudy rom
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.
Hello Good People!
.
I'm new to the world of Custom Rom and Never tried before.
I want to hear about your experiences about custom roms for Oppo A52.
there are no custom ROMs for Oppo devices, because the bootloader can't be unlocked
