Hi,
The OnePlus One really impresses me with there cm11s and cm12 roms, I like the stock Android feel with customization. The G3 stock feels a bit to slow and laggy to me. So the question is, how does the G3 holds up in the stable roms department against the OnePlus? Is there any stabel CM11 or CM12 roms? And is it as simple to install as on the OnePlus?
[ROM][Lollipop][Unofficial]Cyanogenmod 12 [D855]
Official CM12 is planned.
And there is plenty other AOSP roms.
It is easy to flash custom ROMs on G3. Just click flash in recovery.
Depending on the LG G3 you have, if it's a 2GB or 3GB, the experience is pretty much the same.
I have a one plus one and an LG G3 and i find the LG G3 software to be more colourfull, which is great on the screen.
The customization that the LG G3 offers without being rooted is huge, you can change almost everything.
In terms of speed, i have the 2GB. My LG doesn't seem so slow, I'm using a Custom Rom (AndroidNow) and it feels great.
Overall, i prefer the LG because the phone is more customizable and the quality of the product is a little bit better.

Sounds easy, how will my version of phone hold up with custom roms(see version below)? What you are saying is really that there is not a big diffrence between the scene of custom roms for OnePlus One and the G3?

The version I got is LG-D855 32 GB. The software is Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4, Versionnumber : KVT49L.A1412000029, Softwareversion : V10I-EUR-XX, will this be a problem for the custom rom scene?
I haven´t used the G3 much yet but I have heard that the battery life are really bad? like a day or less of "normal" use and there is random restarts that probably depends on the hardware!? If thay only went with a regular 1080p screen
Im on the fenc about the OnePlus One, have a friend that got it with custom Lollipop rom and its REALLY smooth and fast! Much like the Nexus 5. But Im not so sure about the suport and the missing wireless chargin. The LTE are also not adapten to the Swedish LTE from what I read so problem with reception outside big cities will probably be a fact.

Check for yourself which ROMs you have mate. We will not write ROM by ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development
You have D855 as you said. That is international version and it has biggest ROM collection of all G3 variants.

Is there any sable rom that do bring something "better" but still dont break for example video recording?
Plenty of the is stable and support video recording. Plenty of stock based and aosp based.
Don't understand what do you mean by "do bring something better". Video recording is the same. Only difference on stock you can shoot slowmotion.

Nice to hear that there is stable alternative roms for the g3!
It sounds like you have tested some of them, will some of the custom roms remove the lag that the stock have? How long do your batteri last?

Lag is not present in stock rom even. Lag was there on first batches of firmware, but it is solved.
Battery, I get 5 hours SOT always. It can only goes up, never got less then 5 hours.

I got lag in my updated stock for sure. Its micro lagg but noticable. For example if I open up the programs list and scrolls I will notice that it laggs, nut much but its there. This did never happen on my old Samsung S3.
What suprises me is that my old Samsung S3 on stock are a bit faster then the G3 on opening apps and switching between them. I supose that the screen takes a lot of power and this is one of the resons I have looked at the OnePlus One.
If I wanted to try a custom rom before deciding if I should return the phone, is this possible? I need to be able to return it to the stock exacly as it was. What custom firmware would you suggest? Is there maybe a stable cm11 rom for the G3 international?
So my Dad decided he doesn't like his G3 - I know, he's crazy. So we have decided to swap phones. I had a Nexus 5 which I loved. I'm looking to get the G3 as close to stock lollipop as I possibly can as my Fun Prevention Officer (wife) has the Gold G3 and I'm less than impressed with the standard ROM.
I've had a look through the threads here searching about for a stock ROM and it seems there are plenty available but I wanted to get some opinions on what you guys think is the most stable.
I'm well up on ADB, rooting etc so I don't need help with the method, just your opinions on the 'best' , most stable closest to stock Lollipop ROM.
Cheers dudes and dudesses.

Hello, I'm new on the formus but I have tried several stock rom versions for my variant (D855). I think that Cloudy G 2.1 is one of the best lollipop stock rom version you can try. It is updated to the latest (20F) version, it's debloated and bumped and it is pretty stable (the only bug I know is the bluetooth issues present in all stock versions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
Finally keep in mind that we have a Official CM 12 build in the Android Original development section that works flawless in case you like (much more like AOSP).

Thanks straim. I'm looking for something closer to the Nexus 5 really. I saw the Official CM12 had been released but wasn't sure on the stability being a nightly.

If you want stock close to LG: Cloudy: stable
If you want stock close to "naked" android: CM12: I would not use it as a daily driver yet, but i'll sure do in a more stable state.
Thanks raptor. I guess stability would come above stock Android in my priorities list. I'll give Cloudy a whirl...

That's for sure, CM is fantastic but they need a bit of time to make it good. Cloudy is a good transition phase. Guess LG's rom is pretty good.
There are other Roms in the dev section, but I haven't really looked at them.

Cloudy it is then. At least until CM gets an M release out....

The bug causes audio glitches and sometimes is necessary to unlink an link the device to avoid issues like battery drain. You can seek something like "Bluetooth|car audio issues" in general or q&a forums for more information.
Ps: I use cm 12 as daily driver.
What about for me that I use wireless headphones, will that affect me?

I recommend you stick with stock roms (Cloudy or ChupaChups), as the AOSP roms like CyanogenMod have dreadful camera software and quality. It's like you're back from LG G3 to a Nexus 4 camera, it's s**t! Sound volumes are also lower on AOSP, has something to do with drivers i think... But for the rest, cyanogenmod is stable, quick, light on the battery, and real pleasing to the eyes as it's one of the best looking roms on the market with themes support and all... But if you want to make the best out of your G3, use Cloudy G3 2.1. It's as fast and light on resources as cyanogenmod 12, as good looking if you flash the Lollipop theme (link on the first page of Cloudy thread), but you get to keep the amazing camera quality and sound volumes of the stock rom. After 2 months of flashing and testing roms on my G3, i can say, Cloudy has the winner here, hands down!

Thanks! What does ChupaChups have that cloudy doesn't?

So what's the latest on Cyanogenmod? Is it stable yet? I used it for a while a few months ago but would have random locks and have to do a battery pull.
I have Cloudy 2.2 at the moment but honestly, I'm not a fan. I really want CM12 but only if it's stable.
What's the verdict?
can't go past full stock ( regular updates with http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073 ), and G3 TweaksBox. works like a charm even though TweaksBox and the Xposed framework are both in alpha
Does someone compare the last versions of Cloudy and Chupa Chups ?
Hey guys,
I wanna stay on stock Rom (without root) and I'm running now kitkat 4.4.4
Do I go for update or do I stay on kitkat? (Will performancmce be reduced and will battery llife be worst on 5.0.1?)

First of all, I would update. I'm enjoying Lolly myself. No performance problems, and batter life is as good or maybe better that Kit-Kat.
Second of all, What carrier/version are you running? If you have the OTA downloaded and not installed yet, it could be valuable to other users.
It's eu version. I heard that lot of users complain about lollipop battery drain...
that's why have I concerned

The problem with lollipop is that the kernel and system eat a lot of battery, or at least more than on kitkat. If battery life is your concern, I personally would not recommend going on lollipop till 5.1 hits and see if it's fixed
though how you use your phone will still make the biggest impact
That being said you can still get great battery. Usage for me never goes bellow 5 hours of screen time with games and 4g and around 7 hours without games and wifi. I could do better on kitkat but I'm satisfied. Check this thread for battery life. I enjoy lollipop though since I upgraded, but I can't wait for an update to 5.1 and better battery

I have had no problems with drain, whatsoever. I'm not stock though, but on the stock kernel.
This isn't the best news.

Nougat is not ready for prime time. Not impressed at all. My custom MM rom works perfectly. I tried Nougat. Uninstalled.
Looks like soon it would be the US unlocked users getting angry : why the heck we're using a buggy version??
Even now it's EU users are complaining : when the heck could we taste nougat...??

Maximus HD is based on leaked EU update. And I am not talking about that.
Maybe you haven't seen what does the dev of Maximus say about the upcoming EU OTA?
No one has specified what "buggy" even means... is it something minor like a laggy UI or a major security vulnerability like stagefright?
*bugs* is a bull excuse in regards to no updates
while while they're fixing these bugs *with N then why didnt they continue to update our devices on MM with the monthly security updates ?
Europe unlocked devices haven't had an update since October & that came with the august 2016 security patch what happened too September, November , December, January
this fixed version of N will be out in February according to llabtoofer will likely be 7.0, we probably wont see 7.1 until spring (htc ultra hasn't even released yet & thats on 7.0)

I'm taking about you said US users now will be angry about why they were left with a buggy firmware, and I'm telling you I used it with the stock ROM and I'm not angry about it. He said the EU build was more stable, that doesn't mean that the US was a bad build though and yes, it may be based on such firmware but I'm using it with the US one

Come on man, I am not saying US update isn't good. I am saying compare to EU update, US one is less responsive and less smooth. Been treated differently might make some users angry. #sense of humour#...
I am sure the US will also get the equivalent matching update around the same time
7.0 has been a mess, and even 7.1.1 has alot of problems, even on nexus/pixel devices. It would suck to be on 7.x and have that 30% battery bugg that alot of people experience. And thats just the obvious buggs.
7.x does not offer enough of a upgrade to make it worth having a buggy release. Esp if one is stuck with that buggy version for months.
I have the Nougat update on my T-Mobile HTC 10 completely stock not rooted and have experienced a few bugs.the day after I updated I took a picture and the phone froze went into a reboot and actually rebooted itself 4 times before it went back into the system. Had a random reboot another time and had an instance where my phone would not charge but a reboot fixed the issue

And please remember there's no OS nor app is bug free in the world. It is an excuse but also the truth.
I bought iPhone 7 last just want to experience a "smooth OS", but it freezed while taking a picture, battery drops very quickly and phone got every hot randomly... So yeah, back to HTC.

I tried N for a bit on Viper and had bad battery drain so I went back to MM and still had that battery drain, I found out Facebook has been causing bad battery so I uninstalled it and Messenger and seems to be much better. I was wondering if Facebook was my issue on N as well or if it was Android N causing it. Guess I will stick with MM for now.
I've been on Nougat for some time now (unlocked) and I have noticed any issues. What exactly is the problem?

Is your device US unlocked ? Do all your apps that auto sync or update do so while you're using battery saver, or while you're on data? Only way I can get gmail and other similarly syncing apps is on Wi-Fi without using battery saver

i meant to say that I haven't noticed any issues, but clearly you understood me. ?
Anyway, I get push gmail notifications as usual, no issues there. I'm almost always only on mobile data, and rarely ever use battery saver. I have an unlocked stock US model.
The only minor issue I've noticed is that sometimes I don't get notified of whatsapp messages (via the notification shade), if multiple are received at around the same time.
The only bug i've found was in the Settings.
If you enter it, press back button and then try to enter again, it'll take some seconds to show up.
Everything else is ok.

I recently purchased a HTC 10.
I have it rooted and s-off. I find the battery life rather poor, again it was kind of expected as my old HTC 7 and 8 were pretty poor. The 10 came with the latest and last sense firmware which is Oreo.
Last week I downgraded to Nougat firmware and installed the last Nougat version of Maximus. I was hoping this would offer up better battery life.
Seems to be the general consensus that Oreo has the worst battery life for our phones, does this include both Sense and AOSP roms?
What is the opinion of Marshmallow Sense based roms, could I squeak a little more out of my battery if I downgrade to Marshmallow?
Would really like some ideas to maximise the best from my battery. Not too bothered about tons of features, however I would prefer to remain with Sense.

I found that N firmware and lineage based roms, lineageOS16, crdroid, etc is best for battery.
If you want Sense, then I highly suggest Leedroid ROM, or just flash the N RUU and keep it stock with Root if wanted flash Magisk.
There's also some nice stock Verizon ROMs in Verizon 10 section by Santod.
Download accubattery application from Playstore and see what your battery capacity is at..
I bet if used its not that great unfortunately. QC3.0 didn't help at all..
I'm at around 2,000-2,200mAh outta the 3,000mAh.
It takes a few charge sessions to get an accurate reading. Also I've found on P ROMs it's telling me 66% but on N it's 74%
Hope this helps.
A Nougat release of Leedroid would you suggest?
Thanks.
