New to LG G3

I've been using Moto and samsung phones for a long time. I've become very familiar with sammys odin and loaded and modified many roms.
I just got the LG G3 851 (TMO) phone and have it running on cricket wireless. Did some research and have some questions if you can help out.
1)Can i flash 855 (international) roms?
2)No official Cyanogen roms but a couple CM based ones seem to be out there. Anyone use it as a daily driver? Known major issues? camera, wifi, sd card?
thanks

I just came to my first LG about a week ago after HTC EVO series, then S3, Note 3 and 4. Right now, I would recommend stock rooted, with SkyDragon kernel untouched. I froze about 67 elements, use xposed with gravity box, greenify, and a few other modules. On T-mo 10r, and tried several AOSP/CM/PA based, as well as a modified stock. It seems to me that until the official 5.02 official image is released, we are stuck with new problems with lolli, and old problems with old stock based. Best to setup what ya got the way you like it for now. Don't know if this is applicable to you on cricket, just sharing my experience/opinion. Good thing is that even full stock LG is around 700Mb smaller than Touchwiz. Just had to deal with locked bootloader for the first time in a while. Good luck!:good:

thanks, good advice. My phone came with illusion and its quirky but fast on Lolli. I'm glad recovery was already on it so i didn't have to go through your unlocking.

Firmware is not compatible. You will brick your phone.

All the G3 variants have slightly different internals, so no, flashing anything that specifically doesn't say it will work for 851 is very bad and will give you a pretty new paper weight. The cyanogen site should have 851 on it to download.

Never used Trickstermod, so I can't tell you how it works on the G3. I know it's not on their official support list, but that doesn't mean it won't work either. No reason you can't install busybox if you are rooted.

Yes. Make sure you do a full backup (make sure your backup has EFS) Then you can also just flash back to your backup.

Flash SkyDragon kernel, and use paid trickster, set according to OP kernel forum. I have 67 elements frozen via Titanium, use greenify, and SkyDragon on stock rooted. Get 30-64 hours depending. YMMV :good:

We have a T-Mobile Kernel now, What ROMS can we install?

now that we have a working kernel for our device, what roms are we able to flash with out kernel and have good results?
Will regular S6 roms work or will we have to stick to edge only? I dont mind about losing the edge function too much.

We had a kernel for a while lol....... You could regular s6 roms but u will lose all the edge functions.... international roms still don't work,

Nothing catches my eye more than a KT kernel though. Thanks for the suggestion of regular s6 roms.
You said international roms won't work, what does that include? Does Canadian versions work on our device?

I tried tmobile S6 rom which is XtreStoLite Pure Edition 1.0c with our custom kernel.....and is not working...(on full wipe)
I mean is working but when you switch screen OFF you can't switch ON back...
(PS screen is flashing looks like white/black colors)
So what do you mean we can flash other roms?
Come guys post links !

What recovery did you use? There's a user in the 5.1.1 rom thread who has had success using v2 TWRP in the same the ad. Really hope your wrong or using an old recovery, because I was looking forward to flashing that rom.

v2 recovery of cause.
I flashed stock rom via odin, flashed latest recovery via odin (v2 twrp)
Boot up the phone. After that restarted to recovery, full wiped, flashed that rom, flashes kernel.
Restarted. It's working until u will switch screen off.

Did u flashed on 5.1.1? Or on 5.0.2 ?

While on 5.0.2 would be the safest way to go, would be my best assumption, though I've tried neither yet. If you flashed while on 5.1.1, might be worth trying over 5.0.2 instead of waiting for others to reply and sitting idly! Just my $.02. :good:

Tested

Huh... So you haven't done over top of 5.1.1, then, I re-assume? Wouldn't have ever imagined that first... Might be worth trying 5.1.1, then if it doesn't work, we'll have to wait for the others. Hope you get it working, bud! :highfive:

5.0.2, i don't think they even have a 5.1.1 version of that rom.

Sprint Rom Choice Question

Hello I just got my Note 4 yesterday and already rooted it. What do you guys recommend for a stable ROM for someone coming from using Josh Beach's Jellybomb/KitKat Killer for so many years.

Not familiar with either of those but I'm using Alliance as my DD and highly recommend it along with Emotion kernel.

I would suggest either the Alliance ROM or the Noterized ROM, and use the Emotion kernel with whichever you choose.

If you take OE1 update you will be stuck. Fyi. Until further notice. Enjoy aosp and any oe1 build until then or until a hybrid is hopefully made.

I had already installed allience rom before you posted this. Today i recieved a text that stated i needed to perform a system update to avoid service interuption. Is this the oe1 you were talking about ? Should i do a factory reset and then update ?

No! OE1 is at this time a pair of handcuffs. Look around at some of the threads such as don't take the update

and stock rooted ob7.

You'll see what I mean. Glad I didn't go stock just because I could. A lot of users have learned that lesson the hard way.

U can still unlock your device under the developer options n I just need a nandrod back up of oe1

Stock deodexed rom

Anyone make a deodexed version of the this rom specific to our phones? Would like to use xposed but also want to keep all the edge features not just edge people.

fyi, your performance will be lost by ~10,000 points using Quadrant Standard; well on mines it did.

I may just wait and try the stock rooted rom. Thanks for input.

I love Xposed, but not worth it to lose my phone performance.
Hopefully someone will make a Rom for our phone that is not for the "Note 5"; but for the actual "S6 edge +"

Non on 7.1. You need root to use it. 8.0 will allow for non root.

That sucks

on 8.0 also it has to be a stable build (not beta) and then also it's not 100% guaranteed it will work, depends on the rom.

Thats crazyy i figure op5 would be more compatible since its pretty stock

Some misinformation in this thread.
Stock OxygenOS (whether with or without root) has issues with MOST themes for Substratum. A couple that are actually built for OxygenOS will work with minor glitches.
Substratum does NOT NEED ROOT to work, even on 7.1. However, the firmware has to be build with some specific features to accomplish this. Most OMS firmwares (AOSP) do not need root to be themed. This is why Oreo stock firmware works without root because it has these prerequisites.
I would wait before trying to theme your stock OP5T until either a themed builds one specifically for it (would still need root), or until a good AOSP firmware comes out that you can theme without root.

yeah , i'd also recommend waiting at this point. OxygenOS is really terrible when it comes to themeing/skinning (it's never been really standard when it comes to that), Oreo should change this quite a bit by bringing OMS to the table for all roms finally (tho i'm sure some manufacturers will start to remove it from their android port *sigh*).
Once Oreo is well deployed on most big brand names, you'll see substratum take off even more, i'm sure (in fact i'm assuming once OMS is everywhere, there will be some competition too, but we'll see about that...).
