I have used LOS 14.1 on both a Moto G (2015) and a Moto X (2014) and am a big fan of this ROM (also used CM 12 on a Nook back in the day.) I recently acquired a used Moto G4 (not plus) for use as my daily driver. I have decided to stick with stock Nougat until LOS 15 is stable. Having not really followed development threads much, I'm curious if there's a typical amount of time from an initial build to a stable ROM. I know there's no exact answer but I wonder if there's a range that often applies. E.g., 3-6 months or 6-12 months or ??
If this is a stupid question, don't call me an idiot, just don't respond!

Hi guys,
I'm looking to getting an LG G Pad 8.3 but I need to know which one I should get. I'm currently debating the GPE edition or flashing the V500 to run CM11. I already have a S4 device with CM 10.2 and am very happy with it but after I upgraded to CM 11, I noticed problems with games such as plants vs zombies 2 which is an already a known issue.
Should I buy GPE or risk running CM 11? Does anyone know which version of the nightly has the least amount of issues on CM11?

Depends, i dont game at all on my G Pad so i have no issues there, if you do then you might not want to go with CM11 and go with the GPe, also depends on how much you have to pay, having seen some great deals on the regular G Pad it makes it tempting (if they are still available) and CM11 will only improve, it seems to be perfectly stable for everything else, but if you cannot get a deal on the regular G Pad and have to pay the same price and like stock then i would just go for the GPe, but the other thing to consider is as of right now the Rom community is all for the V500 non GPe edition, doesnt seem to be anything for the GPe.
TL : DR if you can get the regular cheap enough (i paid $259) id go with that and do the conversion to CM11 and wait on the updates, if its the same price id go with the GPe as im sure its more stock your looking for, 100% everything will work and you will get timely updates

I had the same dilemma. I decided on the V500. The choice is pretty simple. Do you plan on having the device for 18 months or more? If only 18 months, then consider the V510, if more, then consider the V500. With the V500, you already have the blessing of cyanogenmod, which has often kept updates for 3 years after a device's release. I'm pretty sure CM will also bless the v510, but you really never know...
Newegg also has the device on sale for $280.
Wow. Thank you guys for the feed backs. I really didn't think much about the device after 18 months as I normally just keep all my devices in good condition and replace it only if I can sell it or if it dies.
Is anyone running CM11? I need to know which build is currently the most stable out of the nightlies.

If only 18 months, then consider the V510, if more, then consider the V500. The V510 has a locked bootloader, so if it never get unlocked, after the 10 months, you're stuck with whatever OS is last released.

What do you mean the V510 has a locked bootloader? As far as I know, the LG V510 (G Pad 8.3 GPE) is completely unlockable. Do you have information to the contrary?

I'll edit my post after replying. You're completely right! No one has taken the type to port a ROM to it yet. With time, I'm sure it'll get done. With time, I'm sure the V510 rom will get ported over to the V500.
The V500 is 280, then V510 is around 370 (i'm including tax). That's a 33% price difference...
Present benefits...
V500 more rom support
V510, better at having the latest OS for the next 18 months
In 3 months, I'm sure they'll both be the same, however.
Hello old friends! A long time since I've posted on here, have happily had a Nexus 5 for the last year. Bought an LG G3 D855 and am horrified by the non-stock-android experience - give me my nexus 5 back!
I've seen that the LG G3 officially supported cyanogenmod nightlies are out - how long do you think it will be before the first stable is released? I am rusty on the ol' custom ROM scene and would rather stick to Stable releases.
Thanks!
already some time the CM12 roms are working, the only thing that has not been resolved is the video recording in 4K, but the rest is great, lasting battery well, is not heating up too much, and has no lags, the rom is fluid unlike the stock rOMs. can install that will not regret it. :good:
Why would you knowingly post in the wrong section?

Nightlies are stable enough to use...
Hy guys,
I have some questions.
I love my LG Optimus G.
Switched from the LG Gpro back to the G because the G is much better.
But i thought there would come some more official updates.
If you look inside our G the specs are nearly the same like the new phones.
If you oc a bit and play with kernel.
The G is better then Gpro and OG2 for shure.
But where are the new firmwares?
Is no cool dev out there who can port a new G4 rom?
Is that not possible?
I treyd the new cm and aosp roms but they are not really stable for me.
It would be great if someone could make a LAST Super Cool LG Rom.
Maybe we could find some nice devs???

Note: As a long time lurker who never posts my response is not just to your post but to other lurkers who may be less knowledgeable.
What MasterFURQAN said! I appreciate LG's proprietary overlay for Jellybean and Kitkat as well but wanted my still quality hardware to have more current software.
The last LG based firmware which I used until about three weeks ago was Sling Kahroba. It is based on the last official LG version of Android for our device which was not released in America. I am not a developer or ROM porter but I imagine the significant hardware differences like much higher screen resolution, fingerprint reader, camera resolution, ROM size etc make porting from an essentially unrelated platform (CPU, GPU, Camera libs) too complicated.
You do not specify what Optimus G model you have but my American version (E970) is running fine with Nitrogen M 6.0.1 (Jan 25 build) with the E970 kernel flashed after. I am not much of a gamer and can't quote Antutu scores but it is stable and fully functional with one small camera related exception. The fine focus on print within a 18 inches or so is not quite there and I use another free camera app, not Google's, because it is more stable in video mode.
I skipped Lollipop and tried other Marshmallow ROMs in this forum but Nitrogen seems to work best for me now.
I used e975, nitrogen works fine for me too. I didn't find big issue with and this rom updated continuously. I am very happy that my old phone can have android 6.0. Even the new phone that I bought for my wife and daughter still in kitkat and lollipop..

Hi
I'm a CM/Lineage user since 2012, I'm currently using a M8 with LOS14.1 but I need a new phone and having a Lineage Official Rom is a must for me. It obviously needs to be better than the one I have right now (specially the camera and battery) and the rom bug free.
I've been looking into the left bar on the downloads page trying to figure out the best phones running LOS officially but it's not easy, there are too many phones and opening the threads to figure out if the rom is stable or not, then searching for specs and prices takes a lot of time, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.
Moto z, x pure, x play, g4, in that order!
Enviado desde mi SM-G531H mediante Tapatalk
Thanks. X pure (or style in my area) wasn't in my list but I will definitely check it out. Better camera, best SOC, screen, bigger battery, I can keep the front facing speakers and save a few bucks.
The Z is not an option, it's over my budget and I'm not a fan of the design.
How about Xiaomi Mi5

The Mi5 was my first option, I ordered one two day ago but I had to cancel the order when I noticed the lack of LTE band20, it is completely useless in my area.
I'm really tempted to buy the 5t since returning my pixel 2 xl due to screen issues. Coming from a Nexus 6, I really enjoy the availability of some of the most current Android versions through community built ROMs even when the version of Android was never made available for the phone (i.e. Oreo 8.1 on Nexus 6). Can some of the long time One Plus users comment on the availability of the newest Android versions for One Plus phones even if it requires installing community built ROMs? How soon after the release of the Android version do you generally see ROMs based on those versions available for One Plus phones?

Check Ground Zero ROMs, I'm running Validus based on Oreo 8.0 on my OP5 and it's really awesome with pure Android feeling. I read @martinusbe the head Dev will be getting the OP5T.

The community support is great. There are Oreo builds for even OnePlus One (Released in 2014).
