Just hopped on IRC, and SnowLeopardJB says he is also working to port it. Hopefully anything useful can be merged into ROM sources like CM.
Got it booting so far. No radio yet. Can't work on it any more today, but its a start.

Sorry for the terrible pictures, but I was in a hurry.
Gents, you guys are awesome keep up the providing for the Community.
Speaking of porting, anybody have a how to? I've been searching google for how to port from mako to LGOG without any useful results. Just really want to give it a try lol.

I am also awaiting to see results of 4.3 additions to current rom projects.
But I personally think the LGOG design is much nicer than the N4, the N4 rounded top and bottom make it look like HTC wannabe and seems to add bulk to the phones.
If I had known about the Oppo Find 5 earlier, I would have gotten that instead since the lack of microSD, LTE and the terrible design on the N4 turned me off completely. So ended up with the LGOG for $49, at least the price was attractive since I already pay for the data plan.
FYI, the iPhone 4S is still $100 more at AT&T. And I see AT&T still has iPhone 4, guess Apple in their contract made AT&T buy far more phones than they were able to sell.
- I noticed some AT&T employees even had Windows 8 logo on their shirts, to promote the Nokia WP8 phones, with the shirt on, tried desperately to convince me to upgrade to the iPhone 4 .99 upgrade, not the 4S, not the 5. I found that very amusing.
Can't wait for 4.3 on our OG

Because It Is The Same As N4 Kernel Version I Am Running On My N4 Converted OG.Or Is It Just A N4 Converted OG And Flashed With 4.3,Just For Some Hype ?

You can flash it like any other rom, but you won't have external SD or hardware keys.

It is 4.3 running on a stock JB LGOG. As nygfan760 said, any mako kernel will boot on the LGOG, as long as it is updated with the jellybean partitions, which is why the kernel version is identical. I am using it because an android 4.2.2 kernel will not boot android 4.3, caused by changes in the code base between the versions, such as SEAndroid support.
Kernel modifications will be needed for a fully working device. External sd card and physical touch buttons are the main things that would require a new kernel build, and will not be possible until source is released.
Well how about that? Son of a...

Perhaps you should go get an Atrix.
Being happy has very little to do with getting what you want, but a great deal to do with wanting what you have.
Why buy an LG phone and then be upset when your not first to get JellyBean? It's not this should come as a surprise.

if the thread bothered you you didnt have to open it, so please shut up. You people over here on the LG side are a touch jerky. The SGS3 squad was much nicer. No one is offending you personally this is a forum for discussion on these things, about our phones. Its a phone not a kid stop getting so offended people
Despite great reviews people seem to treat this device like it's going to explode.
When you make a completely unrelated post about a completely unrelated device, how do you expect people to respond?

In all fairness I somewhat agree with the OP just like anybody would. You would EXPECT a phone with these specs to come out the box with jb. Especially sense the x+ has it out the box and similar specs. But what can you do? For the most part enjoy what you got! Most of the time you been running the latest android os on your device before its released official thanks to the great xda devs!
But also you don't know who is watching these threads, so all the fighting and drama queen on here not going to make somebody with the time and patience to think twice about getting or developing on this device...

Realistically the reason that LG didn't put JB on the LGOG is because they wanted to boost sales on the nexus 4.

It's like LG/AT&T/Google decided to kneecap and half-ass both devices. The Nexus has no extra storage or LTE, this has no JB or wireless charging. If they had merged it all into one phone, it would have been a beast and I promise you it would sell better than anything on the market. Every one wins. But they had to mess with the wet dream. What can you do? :banghead:

Nope a dev on here can add bloatware in a few minutes code it properly in a few day day so I'm sure an entire team of programmers at at&t can do this fast enough. It's marketing on Googles behalf.

? Hmmm I don't know, maybe because it's not carrier branded, a clean-slate version of Android, and significantly cheaper to buy off-contract... Seems to me like there's still plenty of incentive to buy the N4 regardless if the OG has JB or not.
Whatever the reason, I really like this phone and am glad I bought it. However, unless things change before my contract is up, I'll avoid LG like the plague when choosing my next device. There is no reason anyone can give to me...to me... not anyone else, that in my mind justifies this piece of hardware not having official JB released for it by now. The work the developers are doing with one hand tied behind their back is awesome, but it shouldn't have to come to this. I'll vote with my dollars next time and go back to Samsung. It's a shame, too.
Like what has been mentioned and discussed ad nauseum since December, this device very well could have shipped with JB if they wanted it to. It most certainly could have been upgraded by now, especially with international versions of JB out. That tells me it is 100% AT&T who is holding this up.
Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see what the devs have cooked up!

ATT is probably too busy updating the note, note2, s3, one x, and all the other big selling devices. That said, looking at LG open source site there is only one device showing more than one os update, and that was froyo to gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. So jellybean will probably be the end of official updates for this phone.
Hint's the reason to why I swtched from this to the note 2 plus the fact that it's just a sweet ass phone lol so smooth n fast has a better pic to than the LG sound is better everything is lol Lg just sucks on upgrading there stuff that's all it really is Stuiped SOB's lmao

In this case it's AT&T. If our developers can reverse engineer a hack to convert this to an N4, the mfg could have put JB on this device with the schematics and kernel files in their possession from day one. There are no two ways about it, simple as that. I mean they built both phones at the same time with almost identical specs for crying out loud..

But as far as I know, Google is mostly responsible for the N4 software and LG is mostly responsible for the OG.
Google shouldn't have anything to do with us not seeing an update, just like how the N4 users aren't thanking LG for their updates.

Now a little back story. My first android device was the HTC Evo for sprint. I got the phone on launch day. I rooted the device n ran cyangenmod6. A couple month later the Samsung Epic was launched. The epic is where I started to develop for a phone. I started off making some themes ( emotionless beast ) n worked my to ROM development. When I left the epic I had the best ROM available at the time. Syndicate Frozen 1.2.
I had to leave sprint n switched to metro PCs. The phone I had was the Samsung Admire. With the admire I helped with getting Odin n cwm working on the device. I then had the very first ROM available. ( no one else was working on the device at the time ). Admiral beast.
Metro PCs was short lived n I switched to T-Mobile. With T-Mobile I had the Lg MyTouch 4G ( lg-e739 ) and its still my current device until my optimus g comes in. With the e739 I helped the cyangen team with cm9 and created my own ROM n kernel ( first time ever making a kernel ). The ROM was cm9 based n I started off calling ICSyndicate. In the last update the name was changed to MyEzOs. After the release of MyEzOs I then helped with CM10 witch we just got working last week.

The conversion works fine. More stuff works with the conversion than current aosp/aokp releases. Its not that bad. It may have some long term effect but I haven't seen it and neither have other people who converted. The jellybean camera problem was fixed for those who converted back. I have converted back and forth several times. While converted I had almost everything working besides lte. After converting back I have been able to run all lgog ROMs successfully.

That might be the case and only time will tell. I'm a developer n not a hacker. I rather run/design/ build firmware that was designed for are phone.
When it comes down to its your phone n do what you want to it.

I just wanted to say hi. I switched to at&t last night n ordered an optimus g. I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. I'm excited to be part of these forums now.
Now a little back story. My first android device was the HTC Evo for sprint. I got the phone on launch day. I rooted the device n ran cyangenmod6. A couple month later the Samsung Epic was launched. The epic is where I started to develop for a phone. I started off making some themes ( emotionless beast ) n worked my to ROM development. When I left the epic I had the best ROM available at the time. Syndicate Frozen 1.2.
I had to leave sprint n switched to metro PCs. The phone I had was the Samsung Admire. With the admire I helped with getting Odin n cwm working on the device. I then had the very first ROM available. ( no one else was working on the device at the time ). Admiral beast.
Metro PCs was short lived n I switched to T-Mobile. With T-Mobile I had the Lg MyTouch 4G ( lg-e739 ) and its still my current device until my optimus g comes in. With the e739 I helped the cyangen team with cm9 and created my own ROM n kernel ( first time ever making a kernel ). The ROM was cm9 based n I started off calling ICSyndicate. In the last update the name was changed to MyEzOs. After the release of MyEzOs I then helped with CM10 witch we just got working last week.
Sorry for the long post but wanted to let you guys know how I am n what I do. I look forward to unlocking the full potential of this device with doing the dirty hack to convert it to the n4.

You will be welcomed to the dark side > we have working sd cards! Haha
Edit: just saw you changed your mind on the converting, sad day. I really think it is the best way forward, getting newest android versions first and being able to do everything the top of the line developer phone can do! Just my opinion though if you want to keep your phone pure I understand

Hi everyone !!! soon i'm going to buy an Optimus G and i read in the forums that since is the same hardware (virtually) as the nexus 4, it can be converted into a nexus 4, i've been reading quite a while about the subject and learning how things work on the Optimus G, but i can't find any users opinion about it and i can't find any videos of the conversion working so i created this thread so anyone who wants to share his expierence about the conversion or anyone who wants to share videos or photos of the conversion working it can be posted here
No need to do the conversion as we can run mako kernel natively now.

Modified mako kernels, not ones from n4 forums.

The 4.1 update gave the tz and rpm that was needed.

so are you saying that the rom's like PA3.15 in the android development section work on the optimus g as they would work on a nexus 4, but still why don't turn the optimus g into a nexus 4 completely and install all the nexus 4 goodies ?

We are referring to all the 4.2 ROMs in the optimus g android dev section like root box, chaos, aokp, liquid smooth and cm10.1 in original dev section.
Why deal with all the problems that converting can bring if you decide to swotch back to stock partitons?
Sent from my Optimus G using xda premium
As everyone has said, during the last several weeks there's been an explosion of new ROMs. No need for n4 conversion!
it seems that i chose the right moment to buy an optimus g, so with this new modified kernels for the cellphone it would be one of the best devices to run an AOSP rom, thanks for the info
soo i bough the phone and the first thing i said when i held it was :HOLYY SH*T is gorgeous and its freaakin fast, now im going to install PA3.15 i will tell my experience with the rom later
I love it. Stock 4.2.2, rooted and deodexed with .33 modem. Everything I need works no problem.

so i was tempted to convert and i did it lol
so i converted my lgog into a nexus 4 and this device its amazing i did all the fixes and the device is running well, great battery life, amazing speed and a pretty cool Google bootloader splash lol, i made a video just for showing you guys my phone in it's actual state

How'd you come to the decision to convert and go to a n4 ROM? To each his own, but there's some pretty good Roms in the android Dev section and who knows what else to come.
And lolol what is with the random flexing..
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
i like the feeling that im using a 100% stock AOSP ROM and if the device is almost like 98% identical as the Nexus 4 why not do it, its a shame that the developers do not support the conversion no more, and with the flexing lol i was bored lol
It's not supported because the long-run effects aren't known, and there's nothing wrong with the AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA ROMs we have. But good luck with it!
I ditched 33 modem. Now using 24 & 27 interchangeably. They are holding Att reception much better. No issues thus far.

How are your antutu benchmarks ?
Homeboy is brave for converting^
And you say you have no issues? *bravo*

I enjoyed the conversion for a couple of weeks until it started getting screwy for me. Overheating, GPS stopped working, constant signal drop and bootlooped daily. Loving RootBox, though. All the advantages of AOKP, PA and CM in one.

I was tempted to convert for the longest time. Finally got the nerve the day we got AOSP, so no need in my book. I used rootbox for a while, but it started acting screwy on me recently. Switched to liquid smooth tonight and seems even better.
Turns out, I didn't need the AOKP/PA bloat, and this kernel feels even better than Houcha's did
