I currently have a nexus 5 and I'm looking to upgrade. The G4 looks like a great option as it have more RAM better processor, better screen and mainly an SD SLOT!!!! I currently am getting by with 16GB which is then around 10GB usuable. My question is is this phone worth getting considering I would like a custom ROM. I'd be happy with CM12 but there doesn't look like much support, I can get this phone pretty cheap but I'm not sure as the support just doesn't seem to be here. Anyone with this phone got any advice? Look elsewhere or buy it?

I recently switched to the G4 (H811) from the S6 Edge back in October. I would consider it a good upgrade. The official CM updates are already rolled out and I've been using it as a daily driver even through the buggy (not complaining) Alpha and Beta stages. As a lot of other users have already stated, most of us considered the stock ROM good enough, especially with Marshmallow rolling out pretty soon. The only reason I switched to CM 12.1 was for the near stock look and the lag in the stock ROM. I've heard good things about the CTT MOD, eliminating lag involving thermal throttling. I used MicroMod777's debloated stock ROM. It ran smoother than stock in my experience. I'll be happy to answer anymore questions you have, given my experience with the device.

Thanks a lot. I really like this phone however I don't like stock. I am happy with CM12 though as it has all the features I use. How stable is CM? Are the bugs ironed out now? How is battery life and heat issues? What type of lag is it? Scrolling lag or gaming? I saw the mod but didn't read too much into it, also is over clocking an option via kernels?
Thank again for answering my questions, it will save me a lot of time searching the forums

CM is pretty stable so far, good enough for a daily driver. Trebuchet crashes every now and then and I've noticed some issues with the camera (besides the actual camera app, that's just AOSP camera in general). I'm not complaining, nor rushing the devs, but it's easily usable as a daily driver. To sum it up, bugs are present, but not bad. Battery life is iffy, I can get through an entire day with 2 batteries and sometimes a charge. I'd say it's around 3 hours SOT. Heat issues are way worse on the stock ROM, nothing too bad so far on CM. Lag on CM is little things like scrolling or keyboard animations, and apps crashing now and then. I haven't tried much gaming. Over clocking is possible.
if you guys use CM custom rom, which app use for camera? is the CM camera apps as good as stock to use all features of the G4 camera? or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

I think the issue is because of the bootloader and the fact that there are only 2 variants which is can be unlocked on.
I know CandySix is coming to the G4 though :good:

The other features are worth losing the camera. It's still great for regular pictures but don't expect a DSLR replacement. They're still working on getting the G4 Camera ported to the ROM.

you can use other 3rd party camera apps but you lose some features like night shot which is used by front camera as well.
also shutter time will not be more than 0.5s, stock goes up to 30s.
Its not clear to me how CM will make use of the colour sensor and laser AF. Are shots as quick to take, are they as clear.
Low light on auto ? this is buggy right now from the few samples i saw.
Whether unlocking bootloader automatically disables these features is not clear. Because if it does then its a one way process. You lose it forever.
or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

You get 3h sot on cm or stock ?
regardless you should be getting more, on stock.
3-4h on data, 4-5h on wifi. If your brightness is 25% you can add an extra hour in there. This is normal with stock and greenify.
If you can't get that then you need a reset.
I've seen very little to no benefits accruing to battery life by rooting, roms or exposed. if you must go down that route its about features.

3h SOT on CM, less on stock. That's with greenify and screen at around 30% brightness. I'm not going to complain to CM development for those numbers, but I'll try one of the debloated stock ROMs and report back after a few days. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like a ghost town to me. Compare that forum to the equivalent G3 forum, even at the current date in 2014, and it was way more lively.
With every passing day it looks more and more like the G4 has been abandoned. I guess you can't blame the devs, LG are being pricks about the bootloader.

Pretty clear there is not much to choose from and even then they seem to have bugs. This was a genuine question no need to be cocky although I'm sure it makes you feel superior.
Thanks a lot guys, it was basically a choice between the G4 or a Sony Z5 both have little support, obviously the Z5 has only just been released so it's to be expected. I'm just a little disappointed as the G4 seemed so perfect for me hardware wise vs price, plus the fact the G4 uses the 808 as opposed to the 810 which has overheating problems. The Moto X pure is looking like a possibility for this reason now. I tend to keep my phones fairly long so I need something quite stable. I think I will hold off for now until support for the phones I'm interested in grows, unless I see something really cheap in the black Friday sales
Thank you for your help everyone, I appreciate it!!

I'm in the exact same boat man, G4 looks like the perfect phone in terms of hardware but the software situation is just depressing. We'll see how things pan out once Marshmallow has made it to all G4s, but if thing don't pick up I'll have to look elsewhere.

The Moto X pure has very similar hardware to the G4, if it's within your budget I'd suggest looking there once the phone has been out awhile and gained support.

if you can't get those figures in stock then Cm can't do more.
debloated if you have a carrier rom, its not necessary otherwise.
How long you had the device ?
People that can't get beyond 3h sot need a reset. something is running more than it needs to. a reset fixes it. dont just do a plain restore after, install apps in small batches and monitor.

Heavy usage. I got better in CM than stock. I've had the T-Mobile G4 since around late September. And yes, I need the debloated ROM because my stock H811 ROM is the carrier one. I've also noticed less lag on it with animations, particularly the keyboard pop-up ones.

Ah, then 3-4hrs of sot is normal.
was testing with youtube and speakers on max. 1 hr of youtube eats up around 27%. 3hrs of youtube like that and its recharge time.
With bluetooth it drops to 20%. Must be some more savings with wired speakers.
with screen off and just podcasts its 10%/hour.
So far the heaviest usage is recoding with 4k. Do that for 90 minutes and the battery is flat.

I'm actually not sure, I'm almost always using it. It drains around 10% over night (about 7 hours) if I forget to plug it in. That's on the CM ROM.
Bootloader is still annyoing to unlock for most models/ not possible, also this phone has so many different models.
On top of that we got from Lolipop to MM quite fast which may also be a reason for the lack of roms.
If I'd be a Dev I'd rather not put too much effort in Lolipop roms for the G4 if MM is right around the corner.
Dunno maybe it will get better now
Should i buy this? Otherwise the phone functions fine. If overheating is the only problem can i root the phone and a kernel to get a cool maybe and a rom? Which rom is good to recommend?

Phone is $118 on amazon for about 10 more hours (since posting this). You can purchase the tudia slim fit case and Mr.sheild screen protectors and it equal around same price without the sale. And P.s the phone doesn't overheat as much as it's given sh** for. It really just depends on your usage. I'd recomend omni rom as a superb alternative to stock rom...

Hello everyone, I am planning to buy this phone, is it still worth buying after 1 year of its launch? I did some research and found very bad reviews about this phone everywhere, many guys claimed that there are bugs in the os and can be solved using a custom rom, is it usable with a custom rom? hows the battery life on a custom rom? I want a good screen on time since my usage is heavy, not into gaming, just calls, whatsapp and streaming...
other choice is redmi 4 3gb ram version mainly because of its 4100mAh battery, please guide me.
Thanks

?，if you plan to use custom rom，it is not a bad choice.
i mean flashing other roms can solve most bugs.
but ......because you have no high request(no gaming)，device performance is wasted.and the screen is not good,enen some bad.
others are ok
So the bugs are only software related? Or are there any related to hardware too? How's the battery life on custom ROMs? Currently using Moto G3 and most of the custom ROMs provide less screen on time.
No it is not worth to buy it - please don't buy it.

The main reason is because we have more than enough people in this forum who cannot use the search function or simply look in some threads.
Second reason is because it looks like you are searching only for the "very bad" reviews about this phone. If you don't want to buy it, don't do it.
Third reason is because it looks like your thinking that only the zui firmware got some simple bugs. The other companys with their phones don't (Lol).
Please don't ask again for battery life on roms, there are so many reports of this kind of question. Go in the rom threads and search for it.
And sure your other choice would had a better battery life than the zuk. Bigger battery and sd 625 is more energy efficent but less performance in games..

Everything you have listed is covered by the 5T except wireless charging and waterproof. Without wireless charging I don't see the negative as the phone hash Dash charge which gets you from 0% to 60% in 30 minutes and to full battery in under an hour. The battery life on stock or beta is impressive. I am a heavy user and I get an average of 7hrs daily.
The custom ROM development for the 5T is great. At the moment I am on open beta 2 but I have rooted and tried several different ROMS with LiquidRemix being the best for me. The camera on ROMS is not exceptional because the drivers are proprietary which makes it difficult to get the camera as good as stock or a with all stock camera features. Having said that the camera on stock has it's downfalls anyway.
I am delighted after the first two months of owning my 128GB/8GB OP5T. I just love it and it is excellent value for money. I hope that helps you decide :good:

I actually ended up ordering it a few hours after posting this. For 559 USD delivered I really can't find a better value out there. I'd rather have a Pixel 2 XL for the same price, but unfortunately, it costs almost double.
It sounds like this will be a great phone, as the more I read about it the more people seem to rave about it. In terms of camera speed and photo/video quality, do you recommend a custom rom or going stock/beta and simply rooting?

I would stay stock and root. That is what I find myself doing for the camera. Then from time to time I flash ROMS to see how everything is but so far I have no come across a custom ROM with a camera as good as stock. OnePlus Beta 2 is pretty rock solid as well with great battery life. In terms of the best custom ROM imo it is LiquidRemix.

I decided now that there are several choices, I'm going to flash a custom kernel. I'm going to wait until the Dec. patch is release, so I don't have to mess with it twice (WAY too busy). But, on my Pixel 2xl, I used the Flash kernel always. I didn't try anything else. So, all the kernels for the 3xl, I don't know anything about.
So, what is your go-to and why?
No one?
try them out yourself?
Stock because I don't feel like doing all the flashing and stuff that I used to.

What is good for one person and their usage is not going to be the same for the next person. It's best just to read the features and description of each kernel and decide for yourself.
Stock for now. Have not yet decided to go for it. Really itching tho.
Speed is the most important part for me. Proton kernel is one of I'd try.

Hearing why others chose a kernel, and what it does for him or her can be helpful to those of us not so familiar with some things. And to be honest, I don't understand why no one wants to be helpful at all with this. The pixel 2xl forum has this exact type of thread, and it has a LOT of pages. Apparently no one with a 3 wants to chime in and help those of us not so familiar with all what all these custom kernels can do, outside of what the description says. Sorry, but, just being honest. I went ahead and flashed Kirisakura, so far, it seems a tad faster. And I was able to overclock the CPU. Other than that, I don't know what can be done with it, let alone any of the others.
My $0.02
I have been using ElementalX. I chose to use it because I've used it on other devices before in the past and I know that it can be trusted to be totally stable with no wonkiness. If ever something should come up I am also confidant that Flar would address.
My experience so far has been solid. Reliable, no hiccups or anything, a few extra features and I have gotten slightly improved battery life over stock. I'm going to try the Kirisakura next and see if that gives me even more battery for my usage.

Kirisakura is updated very often and has been my DD. I tried most others but the mix of performance, battery and security with Kirisakura convinced me to stop looking. But, I am pretty basic in my usage so other kernels may suit you better. Good luck!
Also, I am getting 7-8 hrs SOT with Kirisakura. Been very happy!

I'm also on the Kirisakura kernel. He has already present everything, so just flash and go. It's updated regularly and the support is excellent.

I don't need much, don't even need kernel, Im just tempted as everyone else is doing it. My main concern is speed nothing else. By not trying them out I feel like there is something good and I'm missing out on it.
What do I need to do?
Unlock boot loader
Twrp and then flash the kernel right?
Been years since I've done it
I am currently using Kirisakura Bluecross, honestly I really don't see a difference between stock and this one. I don't think my battery is lasting longer and, yes, it seems that you can do a lot with cpu clocking and such, but otherwise, tbh I don't see a difference in my device. I am tempted to try elemental x as I purchased the elemental x kernal manager and it is always bothering me to upgrade my kernal to their most up-to-date. Not sure yet.
But full disclosure: afraid to screw with CPU settings and such as I don't want to overheat or kill my phone, so I probably am not doing as much as I could with the new kernal...

I am currently using Kirisakura Bluecross, honestly I really don't see a difference between stock and this one. I don't think my battery is lasting longer and, yes, it seems that you can do a lot with cpu clocking and such, but otherwise, tbh I don't see a difference in my device. I am tempted to try elemental x as I purchased the elemental x kernal manager and it is always bothering me to upgrade my kernal to their most up-to-date. Not sure yet.
But full disclosure: afraid to screw with CPU settings and such as I don't want to overheat or kill my phone, so I probably am not doing as much as I could with the new kernal...

The kernel made my phone smoother, especially on the first few builds, with no hit to battery. RAM management is an improvement over stock, imho

You know what my OCD thing is and has been on all my Samsung phones , with is one of the reasons I've moved to pixel in hope it be gone but it's not?
Clicking on: settings , sms, phone apps. Have then load slowly. I try to tell myself it's normal but it's still pissing me off.
Thus another reason to go back on playing with kernels in hopes they could help.
Clicking on those apps I mentioned and often the window will pop up but the info will apprear later. Like there is a delay. Again my OCD thing.
