Looks like we're getting the Latest Version on our G4!
Q3 Release
If it's not rootable many people won't be interested, myself included. But it's good to know for those people that don't like their phone to be as awesome as possible. :good: But who knows, maybe someone will figure out how to root it where they couldn't marshmallow.

They said specifically that it will be available for The Nexus 7 2013 edition
Sadly not the 2012 edition
I hope that I can side load Android L on my Nexus 7 2013. I'm not a developer, but I really hope to enjoy that new interface. As far I can judge from google io live stream it looks very nice
Looks like we are getting it don't know when though can't wait!
You can install it tomorrow if you want to. Not as an update, but as a factory image. Of course the 2012 version will get it as well.
Will wait for the deva to get ahold of it first
That will probably be several months, I don't think they are releasing the source code tomorrow. Not to hate on any devs, but I'm pretty sure an official (albeit "preview") build, like the one that will be released tomorrow will be just as good as any custom ROM from a developer. Pretty sure the actual developers know what they are doing...
True-dat
Somebody will make it available for the 2012 version.
Tomorrow people are going to have their hands on the developer edition so things are looking good!

LG has just informed us via a press release that they will be rolling out the Lollipop upgrade to the LG G3 next week. Starting in Poland. LG is claiming to be first to roll out the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. While Motorola has started their soak test for Lollipop on the Moto X (2014), they haven’t started the official rollout just yet. While LG is starting the rollout in Poland we should be seeing it in other countries shortly later on. For those of us in the US, it’ll be closer to December, due to the carriers.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a ton of new features. But for the LG G3, the most notable ones will be the battery and camera features that Google has added. Like Project Volta. The battery life on the Nexus 6 is pretty good, and I’m interested to see how the LG G3 does with the Lollipop update.
It looks like the developer preview at Google I/O this year really helped out the OEMs as we’re already seeing leaks of the LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and other devices with Lollipop on board and this is the third device slated to get Lollipop this month that’s not a Nexus. Wonder if LG is going to beat the Nexus devices this year? It’s quite possible as the Nexus 5 isn’t going to be getting the update til at least November 12th.
Too bad it will look nothing like Lollipop.

That's true. Lollipop is really nice looking on my nexus 7. But won't it help developers to base their roms on the release to make it look like stock?
Yeah that really upset me. Lollipop looks fantastic and doesn't look anything like it.

Nice, despite the whiners and crybabies talking about how it doesn't look like lollipop, they should have known that when they bought the skinned LG g3,why would this update be any different lol... I'm happy LG is doing this update right! Can't wait!
Sent from my LG-D851
Rooted but not a custom rom here...any idea how the upgrade for us is going to go? Do we need to go back to stock to upgrade?
It doesn't look like Lollipop, IE: it doesn't look like a Nexus device. That's a shocking revelation, and I am appalled. I figured that LG would completely scrap their own UI, and just stick AOSP lollipop on the phone, simply shocking. That said, until ART works with xposed, I'll be rocking KK. Not a big deal either way, and in all seriousness, you folks can't be shocked that LG is keeping their UI, right? Right? Just like every other OEM who skins android.
Got a Nexus 6 ordered so just unrooted and returned to stock awaiting 4.4.4, then will put the LG G3 up for sale.
Damn. And I just ordered my Note 4.
My question is when will there be a stock AOSP 5.0 rom for the G3? This phone is a monster in the spec field, and I want to keep it. I would like to flash a vanilla lollipop rom, however.
So apparently the D855 variant has a leaked build of lollipop booting with no issues...wondering what needs to be done for it to work on the D851? Are the firmwares even compatible?
+1 ....are there any d851 devs alive out there? This feels like the Jedi's are damn near extinct in our neck of the woods.

That leaked build was paid for by donations. The guy bought the build from LGBB with donations from other forum members. Be patient, CM12 is being worked on and it will be out when its ready.

I wasn't being impatient. I was merely asking questions. Of which you answered none. But thanks for the info anyways.
I would also like to see lollipop ported over to the d851 seems like theres no love on our side can a dev plz port this over for our beloved device willing to donate im sure a lot off us will ...
Really! ? The nexus doesn't even have it yet. These things take time. I can't imagine any of the devs are just sitting around saying they aren't interested in 5.0. If you really want it, s start building! Or wait quietly, but don't criticize the folks who do this for you for free!

Hoping the wi-fi calling source code is included in the upcoming updates to Lollipop.
I dont understand why some folks on xda feel the need to add useless comments in response to a question.. Would it not be better to just (putting it nicely) not respond if you can't help, instead of insulting..
You can consider my comment useless if you want. But you would be better off telling it to someone who cares about what you think.
Can't wait for lollipop!
Hello,
I have a question on what is needed by developers to make Lollipop ROMs for our S3.
I have been following the releases and know that the images for the Nexus devices are up and that OTAs have begun. Is that what developers need as a starting point?
As you can tell I'm fairly clueless about this so I appreciate any information because I like to follow along.
Thanks!
Devs need the actual sources to build, which have been released. Unfortunately they can't work with the factory images for Nexus devices.
If I remember correctly, it took 2 or 3 months to get a usable KitKat build from Slim. (the first ones to do it, I recall.) We'd be lucky to see it by the new year, in my opinion.
Thank you for the info.
So they take the Nexus sources and then build it for our devices and then figure out how to add drivers for our hardware, etc?
Thank you for the timeline. I'm hoping it will be sooner, but your estimate is more realistic
I saw this in the S3 international forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/rom-namelessrom-t2939673
And
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/wip-cyanogenmod-12-t2936990
Looks like they are hard at work on lollipop for their devices. I wonder if anyone is working on it for ours yet?

I haven't seen anything yet in the forums, but I'm still hopeful that someone will!

Yeah I been on the ROM since it was provided.
So with marshmallow releasing recently on the note 4, (for most) whats the opinion of staying stock or rooting and rom'ing for Nougat? If not already possible im sure it will be very soon. I did like a few features of 7 so if there was a stable ROM i might consider finding a daily driver myself. Otherwise i have been very happy with 6.0.1
Maybe ask the same question in a month. I think the code was barely released.
I'm pretty sure N is out for Nexus devices.
Actually I just saw this: http://techxat.com/android-devices-getting-cm14-nougat-rom-big-list/
So we are getting CM 14/Nougat. It's a matter of, when. Trust me, don't ask that. It'll happen when it happens. Everyone around here basically works for free. Some take donations. If someone comes up with a Nougat ROM sooner than someone else, whenever that is, then great, but we'll see at least CM 14 at some point, maybe another Nougat ROM as well from another author.
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to ask a couple questions and start another discussion thread for those of us that have Oreo installed on our devices.
Questions:
With twrp on oreo, what's the status on the flashable version?
Anyone currently or thinking about creating new roms, kernels, etc for the device?
Lastly, what are some things that the nondevs here can do to help us all out?
Hope to see some good discussions
Thanks in advance!
Idk anything about the status of TWRP, so I can't help you there. Overall, I know there was an effort to get a device to a dev, and it was successful. Invisiblek now has one. Looks like he's working on lineage, which is super awesome.
The device now has a repo on the lineage github, so you can see work is being done. As for a timeframe, no clue, just have patience and know that it'll be released once it's ready. We're fortunate that Moto has already updated us to Oreo and it's a pretty stock interface. Only way they could've done better in my view would have been to update the device to support project treble, but that's an entirely different story.
That's about all I know, hope it helps somewhat.
Patience indeed. It'll move along at some point. Next to Sony, I think Moto has one of the cleanest implementations of Android, so it's definitely bearable.
Plus, with the price dropping into "steal" territory, I see more smart ppl coming this way.
Yea thank you guys! I'm being as patient as can be and I just wanted to have a thread here were any and all of us curious folks can have a place to talk about the upcoming of this device and the near future development holds for it. I didn't know it was on lineages repo so that's awesome to hear! That's a perfect example of why I created this post, just to spread the word into one forum and just have a couple chats with everyone about the moto.
Cheers guys, hope to hear more from others too!
