Any idea on when at&t LG optimus g will be getting the 4.1.2 update? Or even just a 4.1 jellybean. I'm guessing it'll be 4.1.2. Since sprints version just got. Also I'm guessing this is why this device. Doesn't have so many. Roms as of yet.. maybe everyone is just waiting for. A. Ota. Jellybean
noone knows when AT&T will roll out the jelly bean update. there are some jelly bean roms in development section you can try out.
Yeah I'm so eager to try it out but I just got my phone yesterday lol I'm.probably gonna wait alil bit til I root and rom my phone
I'm waiting for keylime pie.

I'm waiting for Lemon Meringue
What I ment was I'm guessing the devs for this device are waiting for the jellybean update. That's why there's not to many roms,I'm sure once jellybean hits this device everyone will start making roms. There's really no point in making roms since its on 4.0.4 make a rom jellybean hits then devs have to rebase and remake there whole rom so might as well wait.. hopefully its true though chus this is a really nice device to not have any support/roms

Have you looked st the developer section? There's ROMs already out that are based on native code. The part where you say to not have any support or ROMs is far from true.

Have you? Last time I checked converting your phone into a nexus 4 is a mod not a rom and if you check again there's only 2 roms available that's currently about up to date everything else has stoped,that's what I ment with more support/roms.yeah I can see there roms available but for this device I think it deserves way more support than that

Stop whining about AT&T and do something about it. As in, try the Original Android Development forum. We have AOSP, AOKP, and CM10.1 mostly functional. I agree some more ROMs would be neat, but really, what are you so desperate for?
That said, I have an honest question: Aside from maybe PA, what are we still missing out on ROM-wise? 30 reskins of AOKP?
Edit: Sorry about the tone, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing this thread over and over again. Official 4.1.2 will come when it comes, but why not run an 80% functional 4.2.2 today?

Buy a phone for what it can do today, not for what it might do tomorrow.
nobody is whining about anything,I can't give my honest opinion? Is there really something wrong with me speaking out? You ppl are are bashing on this device just chus it s made by lg with lg's u.I. I bet all the money in the world that if this device had htcs name on it or samsung this phone would be filled with roms and support. But no that's not the case just chus its lg and so many ppl hating on lg it has lack of support that's all I'm saying with this awsome device it has potential to have way more support

X2. There's a fully functioning 4.1.2 that SnowLeopardJB created, in addition to the ones mentioned above. The 4.2.3 roms don't have fully functioning GPS or camera, but they will have them shortly. Synergye's created an AOSP rom, that's using the latest Android developments, that will put this device ahead of the N4, once the quirks are worked out. Reskins aren't ROM's, so leaving that nuance out, what ROM are you looking for that you can't run today?
One addition: If you bought this phone thinking that AT&T was going to support it, you didn't do your research. Apple and Samsung are the only devices that receive any support from AT&T. That's because the former does it's own device support and the latter has enough market share that they can enforce their will on AT&T.

yes i have. i have jelly bean on my LGOG right now and it is fully functional. you're saying there's no support or roms out for this device when that just isnt true. there's even a 4.2.2 rom out that can do everything except camera and GPS. and those will be fixed soon. so what i'm saying is if you say there's little support then you just arent seeing everything in this forum that is out. if you refuse to flash jelly bean on your phone right now then that's the choice you make to stick with ICS. you have the chance to get jelly bean on your LGOG right now, you're just deciding not to.

That was the core of my question. AOSP, AOKP, CM10.1, and ParanoidAndroid are the only major ROMs I've heard of, and we have all but the last one. This is my first Android device, so I wasn't sure if there was really something big we were still missing.
As for why this phone if I knew AT&T sucked? I needed a new phone when there was still no idea when the Nexus 4 would come back in stock, so I got what was thought to be the next best thing. Honestly, with AOSP, this will be even better than the N4 once the GPS and camera are working.
And I can always convert a year down the road when everyone moves on.

As you've said in your other thread, you are new to this phone. Which means others have had this phone for a while. Whatever question(s) you might have probably has been asked and answered or at least discussed before already.

Correction:saying what I want to say in my opinion is not whining in the comandments that's called "freedom of speech" not whining. You have a problem with that go rewrite the comandment with whining instead of freedom of speech chus I'm just stating my own opinion
Commandments? Are you referring to the Bill of Rights? You do know that that same freedom of speech is also extended to anyone who wants to say you are whining, right?
Anyway, enough of the childish back and forth. As stated myriad times in this forum, as is usually the case, no one knows for sure when we'll get JB from AT&T. We have some great devs working on giving us fully functional CM, AOKP and CFX. Patience is a virtue, and we'll be getting some more love soon.
In the meantime, what's missing from the stock experience? You want Google Now? You can get it. Other than that it's just as smooth as JB.

But when you're opinion is wrong, then that would be considered either a) not knowledgable of the facts, or b) whining...as others have said, if you want 10 different versions of AOSP or CM10.1, or 15 versions of the current kernel, then this may not be the phone for you. I could say that my opinion is that the sky is red, but just because I've stated that's my opinion doesn't make it correct. The current version of JB on this device works 100% and is smooth as any phone I've ever used...ever (and I've had all the latest and greatest). You never answered someone's earlier question...what is it exactly that you want that is not being offered at this time?
You may be new to the phone, but you're not new to the forums. So I'm hoping within the last ~2.5 years you've noticed that there's a search feature. Considering this phone has been out for 5-6 months?, correct me if I'm wrong, this question was bound to be asked several times. If you don't want people complaining about your complaining, then it's advised to look through the forums. Feel free to be ungrateful for what the devs of this community has given us, but it's not like you've made anything. If you're in such a hurry, build a rom yourself.
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 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.

I agree with you... It would be nice to have a compilation thread with links to all the separate mod threads. I was actually thinking about making such a thread but I haven't had the time yet, and I'm not sure I have a good enough handle on all the little details yet to get it right.

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!

Hey guys I've had my DNA since launch weekend. I've become interested now that I've seen there are methods for S-OFF and then now return to stock methods.
I am fully stock with the most recent OTA update. So I need help in figuring out which methods of S-OFF are easiest as I know I've seen different requirements for each one and it seems they keep changing so I can't keep up with them.
Also with the ROM's, are there any fully complete ones that work 99.9999% with the phones features. I have used CM 10 on my Incredible 2. Any thoughts as to which ROM's to start out with?
I know I could search the $hit out of this, but I read into things too much and then just get frustrated when trying to find a ROM or a method and never pick something.
**********Update**********
I moonshined my phone this weekend, so now it's time to look at each of the ROM's that you guys mentioned! Thanks again for the help in this!!
I really would appreciate any help on the matter and I thank you in advance!!
NOS7 seems to be my most fav all around so far. Very complete
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
like viper Dna the best no bugs at all very smooth and you can have tweaks and customize it to your liking. Moonshine to achieve s off worked flawlessly for me and it can now be run on windows so it's very simple.

I personally think Revone method is the easiest way to get S-off .
If you want 99% bug free I would recommend NOS7
Moonshine -> TWRP -> Carbon -> Win

I'd probably suggest PAC or carbon. I'm on PAC right now, but next time I clean flash a rom, carbon is going on my phone.

I'd suggest not asking users as you will get a different answer from every single one of them. Research each ROM and make a decision based on what you want.
As for S-Off, both methods are insanely easy. Pick one and go with it.

I understand that different people will like different ROM's, but their suggestions do help with making a starting choice in figuring out which ones to give a shot first. I just tend to over research stuff and never making a choice as I can't decide which to pick. Sometimes it's easier to just start off with suggestions from others who have already done what I was trying to do.
Again thanks everyone for your inputs and suggestions! I'm going to research the methods for getting S-Off and pick one. I will most likely get this done this weekend.
If you are a fan of Sense 5 and okay with using android 4.1, then go for newt's NOS7 rom, it's essentially bug-free and super smooth.
If you're an AOSP kind of guy, I would highly suggest flyhalf's CM10.1 build paired with crpalmer's aosp kernel. Keep in mind that it is a WIP, so there is plenty of room for optimization, and some features (such as bluetooth audio) may not be working.. it is android 4.2.2, so you do have some features over 4.1, but it's whatever you prefer. There are more updates on CM based roms for the DNA because it is still generally new, and the developers are active on their respective roms.
I definitely would go with a Sense 5 Rom. I had nothing with problems with CyanogenMod on this phone. I take a lot of the talk of good things about it on this phone as circle jerking. I really had quite a few problems, even on the later versions that came out earlier this month.
Switched to NOS M7 and have had no problems what-so-ever.

I wasnt trying to be offensive by any means. I understand the work that goes in to these roms and I appreciate it immensely. BUT I wanted to give this guy my most honest opinion from my experience. I don't want him to end up Rom swapping like mad if he doesn't have to, I've had zero problems with NOS M7. On Cyanogen I had force quits, bluetooth cutting in and out, wireless tether dropping constantly, now I have none of that.

Given the OPs requirements a sense 5 ROM, NOS M7 in particular would seem to best fit his requirements, which also seems to fit yours, no reason to talk like that about our work OR the users that support and enjoy it enough to recommend another user give it a try, even though they really don't meet the OPs stated needs in a ROM. Everyone has their opinion, especially on XDA, there's no reason to be insulting because you disagree with their ROM choice.

Bad terminology, you're correct. It's been a looooooong day, and lots of work, lots of redditting, saw the term and used it. I should have re-read my post before I said I wasn't trying be insulting because that totally was. I'm sorry.

I wasnt trying to be offensive by any means. I understand the work that goes in to these roms and I appreciate it immensely. BUT I wanted to give this guy my most honest opinion from my experience. I don't want him to end up Rom swapping like mad if he doesn't have to, I've had zero problems with NOS M7. On Cyanogen I had force quits, bluetooth cutting in and out, wireless tether dropping constantly, now I have none of that.

Carbon is my daily driver and I've had zero problems. Granted I don't use blue tooth or tether, but I haven't had a single force close. I had some connection issues, but due to a bad flash.

I personally used the Moonshine method. It was very simple. I already use a Linux distribution so my PCs OS wasn't an issue. Just run the exploit and, for me at least, everything went very smoothly. I tried out CM10.1, Revolt, Carbon, Rootbox (one of the earlier more buggy builds), and Hatka Supreme. I'm currently running CarbonROM (the 6/11 build) with stock kernel and am loving it! I've considered trying the latest build of Rootbox, but not sure if I want to go through the setup process again. Its all a matter at personal opinion, just my $0.02 USD!

I just moonshined my phone, so now it's time to look at each of the ROM's that you guys mentioned! Thanks again for the help in this!!
+1 for NOS M7 haven't had a single issue with it. Only issues I have had are with mods or themes for it. Can't speak for an AOSP ROM as I haven't tried one yet. Also FYI I would recommend using crpalmer's kernel.
I'm in the same boat OP. I tried Viper's rom and it was too much of a change for me. I wasn't ready to ditch the stock (or a stock-like) interface yet. Been researching roms, but it's tough like mentioned earlier, b/c it's very subjective.
I just want everything to work, debloat, hotspot capabilities and some customization options. I like the stock look and I haven't had the phone long enough to tire of it just yet.
I've had a rooted phone before and I do get bored with things after a while, so I know I'll run through roms over the next time period before I buy a new phone. I want to get my mileage out of each one.
I tried to download Hatka (sp?) earlier today, but I guess it's unavailable atm.
Downloading Nos7 now. It's going EXTREMELY slow though. I even switched to wifi and still at 5% after 4 minutes.

Droid DNA
In March I took a break from Android and got an iPhone. However, I've already had enough of it and my DNA is shipping tomorrow. I have some questions and I'd love it if someone could help me. Thanks in advance!
1. How's the battery life? I plan on turning the GPS off and NFC and any other unnecessary settings. I'm sure it'll be better than the iPhone's battery, but I'm still curious. I couldn't get a good answer from Google.
2. I plan on unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone right away. Does it matter which tutorial I use? Are any of them outdated and dangerous to use on the newer update? If it's possible, could I have a link to the best tutorial for both of those things?
3. What's the best AOSP ROM to use? Are the AOSP ROMs even any good? I want them to be just as fast and snappy and battery-friendly as the stock ROM, if not more. I was looking at this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392799
Again, thanks so much ahead of time
I usually end up with about 50-60% battery life left at the end of the day. On my rezound I only had 20-30%.
As far as root goes moonshine is I believe the only working method with the latest OTA, someone please correct me if im wrong on that.
As far as asop not sure on that. Best is always very subjective.

1) Sense: Battery life I would say is good, I can get through a day with some youtube vids (20 minutes or so), surfing the internet (2 hours or so), many calls/texts all day, by the end of the day its ready for a charge. 14~18 hours
AOSP: Battery life is ok/average, get about 12~14 hours
2) Use Moonshine, probably the easiest method right now, given there are two different methods out right now.
3) Best AOSP, well just try them all to see which one you find best for you, I personally love CyanFox (but that's only because I build/maintain/contribute to it)
Just as a little thing to keep in mind GPE ROM is not the same kind of AOSP that are found in the Original Dev Section where CM is... From what I understand GPE is still sense based like its backbone. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
My personal suggestions: NOS ROM Sense 5, and CyanFox

To more or less echo the two gentlemen above me...
1. Battery is decent enough. I'm coming from the Thunderbolt so everything is an improvement!
2. Yes, Moonshine is the way to go.
3. Agree to just try all of them. They all have their own special sauce.
Have fun.

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!

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.
