I know this forum is not specifically for tmobile lg g4
Can i flash any lg g4 811 rom to my tmobile lg g4 811 20v marshmallow phone?
Does the custom rom have to be 20v? Can it be nougat?
I'm not completely certain, but as far as I know can any H811 rom be flashed on any H811 device. Even nougat roms. I'll say it again just in case: I am not sure, I have 0 experience with non-h815 devices

yes you can. if its says stock based means its stock with some goodies if its says LAOS lienage OS or AOSP this are not stock and not from LG itself.
so we only have stock MM rom. if you want nougatyou need aosp or lineage.
have in mind that picture quality is not the same on aosp or lineage roms.
as for 0-p-q-r -v. yes you can .. but best its to stay uptodate.. but if you go with O then i think some kernels had sound problems rom and kernele had to be on same version.
Thank you sir for your reply.
Now if you could recommend a a great rom for battery life and dark theme
Not really a fan of stock rom.... if were talking about lgs icons layout etc...
Would loose picture quality to get rid of this lg theme for better battery and dark ui
I am rooted and have twrp just have not flashed custom rom yet

Hi guys. I have a LG G3 16GB D855 with rooted stock lollipop rom.
Which is the best rom for it at the moment?
I'm looking for a Rom that fix the annoying LG G3 lags and mantain the original camera quality.
Thank you in advance
Stock 6.0 Marshmallow. You can KDZ that. Or try Fulmics, it's really close to stock experience and smooth.

Are there known problems with these? Official Mm isn't public released, right? Fulmics instead mantain the original camera quality?
Hey guys, My dad is willing to update his LG G4'S version (Currently running Lollipop), I do understand a thing or two in rooting, custom roms and recoverys , however, I own a galaxy s6 - it has no AOSP Roms, only stock based. and my father is used to his phone as it is, I don't think flashing cyanogenmod will be a good idea, he likes the functions LG added and stuff like that( Yeah, I don't understand it too ). Are there any good MM stock based roms?
Thanks and sorry for my English

Sorry for not mentioning - H815, Also, what is the newest official MM version (carrier-free)? I don't have any OTA's in my place currently unfortunately.
I use the stock MM ROM ver 20D listed in Android Development section, and it is lightning fast and smooth!

Well good news, you got the bootloader unlockable variant!
To be honest anything with H815 in it is what you can do.
You can flash stock MM (I'd reccomend v20h its located in the general section)
You can flash cm13,
Be free little birdy!
I was using a phone with a stock android before I got my lg g4, and I very much prefer the stock android experience over the lg custom version. I got a the duel sim version of the lg g4 (h818p), unfortunately Cyanogenmod hasn't been released for this version yet (maybe will never be)! So, is there any chance that they will do it in the future? Or are there any other roms that I can run on my lg g4 that can give the stock android experience or something close?

maybe one day maybe not.. not unless you have bootloader unlock.
I originally upgraded to the custom Freedom rom which is based on the stock H815 7.0 from stock marshmallow 20v. I had problems so I clean flashed the same developer's Despacito rom, also based on H815 stock 7.0. The problems persisted so I clean flashed LOS 14.1.
I would prefer to downgrade back to 20v but I'm confused about whether arb issues affect this scenario.
Update: I took a chance on downgrading since I couldn't live with the radio issues on the unofficial Nougat roms. Flashed a zipped stock official T-Mobile 20v and so far no problems. I'd still like to know why this worked but "rolling back" bricks the G4 on "official" stock.

Thanks for the arb specifics. Good to make a note of.
After I successfully downgraded to 20v stock I heard from the developer of the custom stock ROMs I'd had problems with. Turns out he (wisely) uses the 20v baseband and bootloader along with stock 7.0 ported from the H815. I would have relaxed more if I'd known that from the beginning. It's my understanding that developers who base their ROMs on Legacy or AOSP *do not* usually replace the baseband and bootloader when they flash a later version so that it is safe to drop back (within the type of parameters you describe above). I guess he followed that model.
It's always something.

actually we use korean port not h815 we tried and it gives lots of error and FC. i think h815 does flash bootloader.. us we didnt get any beta we use korean KDZ edited to work on h811 volte is missing 4G icon is missing at least on my end it is. and h815 had a beta wich is better then use korean port.
what issues were you facing.? am using h811 port because despacito has black on black text if you use dark theme.

The developer of Despacito, etc. contacted me and confirmed that he uses the Marshmallow radio and bootloader so that is why I was able to go back to H811 6.0 20v. I had intermittent issues with the sd card not being recognized and forcing a re-format.

Was wondering if I flash a 5.1 rom with an untouched stock lollipop boot image onto my G4 what the outcome would be?
Is there any lollipop custom rom that this would work with? I have tried this on my locked lg g4 BTW and no dice

1)
The 5.1 Rom is the stockrom for the G4 Series came out in 2015.
You can flash a 5.1 and it will be run, why not? But MM (6.0) is more G4 friendly, works more fluid...
2)
The only thing you must looking for is the correkt Modell, H815-H818 and so on....
What Android is on the G4 now and what is locked on it? The Bootloader or have a Provider Lock..?

It's a H815T with a locked bootloader and I root all my devices
I was hoping that imperium or some other stockbased rom with notable differences would have released a 5.1 version, but I think they started on MM. I actually tried to flash cm12.1 then my stock boot image lol. Had to wipe and restore plain old Genisys rom
It's network unlocked and I use Twrpinfish by @steadfasterX
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
My wish is at least to have a more 'stock android' ui and ability to theme (cmte,etc)
If I could boot a cm12.1 rom it would awesome :highfive:
