Which would be your preference? I have a trade option to 16 gb nexus 4 for my E970 with 32 gb.
I don't care much for drop in storage but wanted to see what you guys think if this is a good idea. Lack of LTE concerns me a bit as I have LTE in my town and around but hoping to be able to adjust with that.

I'm not you, but this would be a no-brainer for me. Keep swapped LGOG.

I keep hearing a thing or two don't work 100% after N4 conversion. Modem issues, GPS issues or Camera, occasional Calls drop etc.
Why is N4 conversion still an unsupported mod as far as senior devs in the forum?
To get 100% pure google and 100% working, if the conversion works, I'll go down that route as well.

Everything is working perfectly for me on the latest PA. Camera, LTE, GPS, internal / external SD, NFC, etc etc. I'd say give the N4 conversion a try. Chances are, the guy you're doing the trade with is going for the N4 conversion lol. I was dead set against it until the 16gb internal was fixed. Since that's been done, I'm definitely loving my LGOG more than I did before.

Im on converted and 100% working. Gps, LTE, NFC, 16gb + 64gb ext, no FC, no reboots, good battery life, etc.
I respect the original dev for LGOP but they are months behind the converted in features, bugs, etc. Maybe when they catch up I'll go back to unconverted.
I recommend the modded CM 10.1 found in LGOP Dev forum.

Conversion works great but for whatever reason the few devs hate it and will not support it. I have been running the conversion since day 1 and my phone still working great, I have my partitions backed up just in case but I have never used them anyway.
I agree original dev for the lgog is way behind because they choose to not support the future(N4 conversion).
Mark my words: When key lime pie drops guess which dev side will run it first? N4 conversion of course... by that time all the original devs would have moved on... they probably already did as I'm yet to see 100% fully working rom on the original section...
Ultimately do what you want since you were the one that paid for the phone and you are entitled to do whatever you please with it. Dont let poeple scare you about the conversion as it is the best option available for us.

So once we are converted to N4. What are the other Mod(s) you did for everything to work (Stock n4 Not CM or other)? Just curious... or may be I will take a plunge today. Also can you please let us know if we need to do any other backup;s other than our Personal data like Partitions etc... Not new to Flashing or Rom Dev.. But its just so many threads in here in the dev area.. Just want to save some time and bricks.
It would be really helpful if you can link them... Like n4, Then do this Link and then etc etc.. This way other's can also use this info.
In no way I'm asking to spoon feed.. It's just I searched around and its all over the place. If you or any other person help create a new post with simple instructions that would be great. Again if you guy's are busy or don't want to create its OK too.
At the outset thanks a lot.

Without a doubt keep the converted OG. There's no good reason not to tbh.
I would love to do the stable conversion, but I tried twice last night and got stuck at Nexus boot logo. I did fastboot -w many times but it was always getting stuck there. Plus my recovery started asking me for password etc, (weird). I did lgnpst and am back to 100% stock and Bootloader locked, no root etc.

That's Exactly what I meant. The only Reason I asked was.... there are so many small tiny mod(s) which can be applied on some and cannot be on something else.
E.g.
A complete guide for N4 Conversion...
Prerequisites.
Should be rooted
Backups:
1.Backup using Titanium backup all you personal data including Call logs,SMS. etc etc.
2. Backup your current partitions.
3. Other Stuff like (It can be any thing) Pics... Or through CWM complete Nand backup.
Now the Actual Stuff
Steps:
1. Go to this thread <Link here> and follow the steps. (Now your phone is N4 Converted)
2. Flash This version of CWM using this thread <Link here>
3. Now you have 8GB N4. To make it 16GB Go to this <Link> and Follow the steps.
4. Now you have N4 With 16GB but your Radio Still sucks (No LTE + APN's etc) cos you need At&T radio .. Go to this <Link> and Flash this to get At&T modem
5. Now you have everything But... Now of the captivate buttons works.. So flash this <Link>
NOW you have completely converted LGOG to N4
For Custom Rom
Go to this <LInk>
To Revert back to original LGOG:
1. Run this <Link> Lgpnst
2. Get back your OLD partitions (E.g. This Link)
Etc etc.
it would be good.. If someone who has done it successfully and have "EVERYTHING WORKING" Fill in the blanks.

When I converted, I did not flash a new radio. I've never flashed a radio on this device (besides the one that comes with the N4 conversion). All I had to do was change the APN to ATT LTE and now I have LTE and GPS.
The new Jelly Bean radio for the optimus G is supposed to fixed with dropped calls in an LTE area. Check it out, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39899645&postcount=429

The conversion is nice and its fun because I've learned a lot, but the reason I got this phone was because of the bonuses over the N4 and service is way better.
As for the devs being pissed, I don't blame them because as you can see, this community is dead. There is nothing to do for this phone when the conversion is complete. No LG Optimus G development, no LG Optimus G Roms or mods; ports, hacks or app hacks(yes i used a super comma).Where do you have to go? The N4 community; for N4 hacks and ROMs and mods and so on, so this community suffers more and more. Its like CM10.1 being the only ROM available and everyone modding it the same way over and over.
This phone is better in every way than the N4, even with the exception of AOSP. I think of the conversion like this, why buy the Nissan skyline and turn around to make it look like a Nissan maxima. But like I said, the conversion is fun, and you learn a lot.
My 2¢…keep your LGOG no matter what kind of crappy development the community has now, it will take off.………Hopefully!

Howdy all,
I am looking at the Crash ROM for my Note 2, mostly because it seems to be the best at supporting the S-pen and the features that make the Note 2 more than just an oversized S3. Question though... I cant find anywhere that states if the ROM does or does not support the Verizon version of the Note 2, SCH-I605. The offical ROM posting is in one of the other dev forums, and the only post I could find asking for Vzw support wasnt answered.
Does anyone know if Crash ROM will work for me?
If not, is there a similar ROM everyone uses to maintain maximum use of the S-pen and other features?
Thanks
Why don't you link the thread? Also you could just make a backup and give it a shot. If it didn't work just restore.

This is true... I am something of a noob when it comes to this, as I've only rooted one phone and it was a few years ago, so I am hesitant to experiment too much. Especially if something is specifically NOT designed for my device. You make a good point though. Could easily Nandroid myself right back to stock.

Understandable. I personally wouldn't try it because it seems to have a modem flash built in. I'm sure it would be okay, but I don't like to play with the modem.
I'm not sure what it does special with the s pen though? Any of the Verizon touch wiz bard ROMs keep use of it. So check out Eclipse (my personal choice), clean vROM, Jedi (crazy fast), or Beans
Sent from the dark on a Note 2
Thanks for the recommends! I will check those out. I had just read several posts and seen some vids which indicated Crash maintained more support for the pen and other Note 2 features. Some ROMs apparently dont. Im still getting up to speed on what my options are. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I've got a question. Our situation with the whole N4 roms and kernel stuff sometimes working "But Dont Do It" but it works "but it doesn't" thing is confusing. So, we have JB, 4.1, all that. What's safe to flash? Like, one place says Now we can use N4 Kernel Sources, then the next line says "Dont flash n4 kernel or face perma brick". All I really want to know short term is Can I flash Paranoid Android from the N4, and long term, whats safe to flash? Thanks guys

If you are converted then you can flash PA on your phone.
I know its a bit confusing when you have people say all kinds of stuff about the conversion but let me put it to you in a way a lot of people can relate. Doing the conversion is like when my mom used to tell me not to have girls spend the night, but I did it anyway because it was awesome.
So basically is up to you... and as you can see they tell you not to convert because the chance of a brick, and then if you do not convert you will still be a risk of a brick for flashing other stuff. You paid for the phone with your own money and you happen to live in a free country so you can pretty much do what ever you want with the phone that you paid for!
Here's what you need to remember. On non converted phones mako aka nexus 4 kernels are compatible but can't just be flashed from the nexus 4 forums because on a nexus 4 the partition map is different and the installer will put the kernel where it expects to find the boot img on a Nexus 4. Our boot partition is not in the same location

Ok, that makes sense. So, The PA build from N4 probably has their kernel built in, and I should wait till someone brings it over here. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
On the Convert/don't convert issue I agree with what else has been said in this thread. It's your phone, you own it, you can decide whether or not you want to risk something going horribly wrong ™.
I converted my phone and ran N4 stock 4.2.2 for a while. everything worked as expected.
Currently I'm on stock Jellybean, trying to decide if I should stick with it or install one of the AOSP based ROMS.
I like the stock LG camera better for some reason.
Yeah whatever you do, if you do not convert, stick to ROMs posted in the OG forums.

Hello
I am new to LGOG, got one for wife, and I am going to get another one for me
Here is the plan, all I want is N4 experience, period, no MOD ROM on top of N4
I just want to use it like N4 and get all the OTA N4 gets
So I think here are the steps I will take
1.Do the N4 conversion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099784
2.Fix the Keys/NFC/LTE/SD/GPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117576
3.Convert 8GB to 16 GB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160124
please correct me if i put the steps wrong
And my question is
1. can i get all the N4 ota just like N4?
2. do i need to do all the fixes (Keys/SD....8G>16G) every time I get the OTA?
3. help me to understand the experience on this path, stable enough?
thank you!
There is no need to do the N4 conversion anymore. There are now fully functional AOSP ROMs available without converting.

To be honest, I think the N4 conversion is more trouble than it's worth. While it's an awesome hack, there's just too many things involved to get it to work correctly. But to answer your question- you will get updates directly from Google, and more than likely you may have to flash all those fixes again. Just a friendly tip, try out the Aosp Roms that are already available to the community. They are just as good, if not better, because it runs natively to our device.
Good luck!
Edit - I misread a bit, you don't have to do the 8-16gb conversion.

I remember the HTC Evo days. Boy, I spent hours-a-day browsing the development section on XDA to get my flash fix. That carried over with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and then the S3. Now that I'm considering coming back to HTC for a fresher experience, I found myself jaw-dropped at how ghostly the development forums are. I figured this could be a result of the phone being so young; so I went to the GS4 to see if that holds true. Wow... what a difference. Those forums seem busier than hell. And it's only been about a month since it was released as well.
Anyone have any idea why that is? I've been trying to convince myself to get the HTC One. I got over the fact that it lacks a replaceable battery, a MicroSD card, and recently, I got over the fact that the images are just not all that it's hyped up to be. I figured I'd be transitioning to the Moto X Phone when that comes out later in the year, so I might as well put-up with these shortcomings. But not having the development support that I experienced with the earlier HTC devices, and recently with the Samsung devices is just not something I think I can get over.
I am constantly thinking of the word "potential" when referring to this phone. What a shame. HTC had all the tools to flip the market on its feet, but it seems as if they came up short... again.
Check out the non-carrier-specific forum...it's pretty active.
EDIT: HTC didn't come up short, this phone is considered quite a success.
My theory for this specific forum being dead is that T-Mobile's national release of this phone was yesterday (06/05/2013). Before that, it was only available in their "high-volume" locations.
Oh wow. And all of those will work with the Tmo version?

yea all the development is in the international forum. all roms on that forum will work on the tmo htc one and they work very well. i have flashed every sense based rom and most of the aosp roms. definitely not a ghost town over there:good:

As you've noticed by now, there's plenty of developer support for the HTC One. It's all just confined to the general HTC One forums, which makes sense, as the various roms can be used on the AT&T, T-Mobile, and international HTC One's. Most developers don't want to have to maintain 3 or more separate threads for the same thing.
As was pointed out though, if you're looking for T-Mobile wifi calling compatibility, be careful about the ROMs you flash. Since the 4.2.2 OTA for T-Mobile isn't out yet, no 4.2.2 ROM is going to support it. I'd suggest Android Revolution 9.4, or a similar 4.1.2 ROM if WIFI calling is essential to you.
Also, since a Google edition of the phone is going to be coming out in the near future, developer support is likely going to expand even further.
So I think it's safe to say you can put your fears to rest and buy an HTC One. I don't think you'll regret it.
Yea I've been hanging out in the International One forums as almost all their ROMs work for us.
This forum really shouldn't even have a development section since there's not really any specific T-Mo stuff that needs to be done.
Every single ROM in the GSM section will work for T-Mo. There isn't a single one that won't work. The only thing you lose is T-Mo's branded stuff and T-Mo's wifi calling (as they are the only ones who do Wifi calling)/

Thanks you guys so much for your replies. I'm happy to see that the development forums for the One is indeed thriving. I'm more confident in snagging a one over the GS4 now.
Indeed, I don't see a reason as to why even bother with a Tmo specific section.

9.4 definitely has wifi-calling. I'm on 9.3 at the moment and wifi-calling works perfectly for me on T-Mobile. In the installer, just be sure to select T-Mobile as your carrier and it will install all the necessary files for wifi calling.
Also, note that S-Off isn't required to flash this ROM. All you need to do is unlock your device through HTC Dev, located at the HTC Dev site. I'd give you a direct link, but asinine restrictions in place on this forum are preventing that at the moment. Just Google HTC Dev and it will be the first result. You can't miss it.
Anyway, unlike with earlier HTC devices, this unlock method allows you to flash everything you need to update the ROM. Only some of the "black box" partitions like the radio and bootloader aren't flashable when it's unlocked with this method, but to my knowledge, no ROM requires that, and furthermore, the Nexus devices are very similar in that respect.
The only real advantage to S-Off is if you plan on flashing a different carrier's RUU, altering the radio, or changing your CID. Anyway, just something to be aware of.
Good luck.

Sweet, thanks I'll definitely try 9.4 then! Reception in my office all day is terrible so I'm excited to try wi-fi calling.
I think I understand in theory why S-OFF would not be needed. but the nerd in me wants full control with S-OFF.. Also, if I use S-OFF, i can return my phone to bone-stock and keep warranty right? As amazing as the hardware on the HTC One is (I've gotten used to sub-standard hardware with the Nexus line), I'm not 100% sure yet I want to keep it.
Any chance you could educate me on what CID is for? Evidently it may restrict/allow flashing ROMS from certain regions?
Also, I believe I have a basic understanding of what an RUU is, but could you elaborate for me by any chance? I believe it's basically an all i one installer for a full stock ROM?
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but this T-Mo sub forum seems a bit more forgiving than some other areas

It's worth doing to S-OFF. If you do, you'll have the ability to relock the phone and put it back to S-ON with zero indication that you ever messed with it. Also, CIDs are used to restrict ROMs from certain carriers to only be installed on certain devices. It's really only a stock or stock-leak ROM limitation, I don't think a single ROM in either the regular or original development section is CID-locked. Either way, if you are S-OFF, you can change your CID code to whatever you want it to be (the code "111111") is referred to as "SuperCID" because that allows you to in theory run an RUU/OTA from ANY Carrier regardless.
You are correct about what an RUU is. However, each RUU is specific to a build of Android made by the carrier, and so far, I think only the Sprint RUU is out. No one has a T-Mo RUU yet (but you really don't need one, all you have to do is flash the stock rooted ROM from our section here and then unroot from the SU app options).
Enjoy tinkering.

Perfect, thanks for confirming all that. I think I'm ready to get the HTC-noob stink off of me The phone feels so amazing in hand, it's making me look at all these Nexus devices (Nexi?) I have in a bit of a different light.. And once the Google Experience software drops, hopefully I won't miss having a Nexus as my daily driver!
You guys are so awesome. I'm counting down the days until July 1st now when I'll get my hands on my own HTC One. =)

You're going to enjoy the One. It's the first Android phone to have the build quality of an iPhone with specs that beat the pants off it
The only thing that sucks about the One is that because it has such a high pixel density, you will be extremely sensitive and aware of pixels in all your other displays (laptop/desktop/tablet etc).
I own an ASUS Zenbook, which is a 13" ultrabook with a full 1920x1080p display which is retina-levels of dense on such a small screen (I think it's almost 170 pixels per inch). The One? The one is a whopping ~470 pixels per inch. It is stupidly dense and I promise you won't find a single pixel no matter how hard you look.

I was able to dig up an old link for Android Revolution 9.4 but can't find a description or list of features etc for it. Are you positive it has wi-fi calling in it?
I haven't owned an HTC since the OG Nexus One (had all Nexus devices since) so I'm reading up on S-OFF etc before I flash a new ROM. I really want to try out wifi calling though so that's why I'd like to make sure. Thanks in advance!

I don't think anyone has done any new fixes for 4.3 conversion, as there's really not much point anymore. Some of the old fixes might still work, but you're probably better off converting back. Is there a particular ROM you want that hasn't been ported? If not, what's your reason to stay converted?

There are plenty of 4.3 ROM available for non converted devices which are non stock, and which yield excellent battery life. I recommend you try some of them before dismissing them.

I saw this and I figured I'd jump in, I'm also converted and I'm wondering about a GPS fix- I've easily applied the fixes for Ext SD, Cap Keys, etc, however GPS seems to aloud me- I can't find a way to make it work in a normal fashion, Maybe if I'd give it like a long time it would work but then what's the point?
So, I was wondering, what was a way that worked for you to make GPS work?
Additionally, I will say that in all my time doing android (hasn't been long, but I've gone through at least 7-8 devices including most of the flagships) I've never seen any version of CM run as smooth and stable as a stock nexus 4, but that's just me- I like roms who work fairly quickly out of the box, not ones where you have to keep putting out fires and fixing stuff.
Anyway, regarding my question- any idea how to "fix" GPS?
Most of the experienced users and developers do not approve of the n4 conversion and a lot of us explicitly refuse to support it. So convert back, you should have just been patient and waited the wee bit of time it took to get aosp roms on here without converting.

Is that so? A developer's website which doesn't support developing? How wonderfully condescending of you!
Couple of things:
First off, I just did this conversion, after having being annoyed with the optimus UI in my optimus g which I procured from ebay at a wonderful price of 170$ for a mint in box price. I figured converting to a nexus 4 would simply grant me a wonderful stock rom to use, much like Galaxy S4 use flash the GPe rom for their own use.
The fact that this very simple process (honestly, just use the tot file provided in LGNPST, god almighty, it's child's play! only ODIN is easier than this!) is not supported in my eyes just goes to show the truly awful state in which we found ourselves in- Instead of exploring new avenues, we fear advancement and change and are told to "stick to our pre-approved roms".
Well sir, perhaps I'm not your idea of an "experienced user" but I will not be kow-towed! I'll just figure this out on my own, as I did with most things I needed to figure out while helping my friends with their android devices for the last couple of years.
Not to bash the devs of course, they offer us choice and we choose to put our heads in the sand.
In any case, have a wonderful day, let me know of anything else you don't approve of so I can immediately remove it from my life-
Electricity? Running Water? Breathing Air?
Good day!
Missunderstanding..

You're completely missing the point. It wasn't about being condescending at all, but to inform the user that no one with E970s are working on the converted version anymore, as you can run the ASOP perfectly fine "natively". So, since all development is going into working with the latest releases on non-converted E970, why should we recommend N4 converting your E970?? No one will help you should anything go wrong.
That's not being condescending, just a statement of facts. Sorry.
This issue could be avoided if people would just do a bit more reading before jumping into the conversion. I agree there is no real point to convert anymore.

Something is off about you. I informed you of by far the path of least resistance to put 4.3 on your phone. Instead you suggest I am kowtowing you. That doesn't make any sense.

The conversion was a hack released against the wishes of those who discovered it, then left unsupported. Dvhexer released some patches until 4.1 update made the whole thing pointless. If you convert your phone so you can feel like a rebel that's fine, but it will be pointed out how silly it is if support is asked for.
