Hi guys I'm planning to upgrade my phone from a gnex to optimus g and do the n4 conversions because I like the custom rom buffet so much (been spoiled with my gnex) I think I'm capable of doing that
I'm currently talking to someone on Craigslist who'd sell it to me for 250 (maybe less) and i'm wondering if it's worth it? I can't find an N4 in my budget range (i dont plan on spending extra for n5)
Also does anyone have experience with the n4 conversion? I'd be able to flash any n4 rom? Or is the stock rom good enough?

You should be able to get the 16gb n4, straight from Google play, for $250.

Pretty sure they sold out.
The 8gb is sold out, still appear to have the 16gb in stock.

The lgog is pretty much the same phone and most of the same Roms are available

The 16GB Nexus 4 is a steal at $250 brand new. I'd go for that over the Optimus G at this point.

I Lrrrv <3 my 64GB SDXC card support way too much to be able to switch personally, plus I picked up the LGOG for $224 on ebay some 6 months back.
Just waiting on the G2.
But, from a pure support and warranty standpoint, brand new Nexus4 vs used LGOG for the same price, I'd get the brand new for the peace of mind alone, or lowball your friend

No one should go for an Optimus G expecting a custom AOSP-based ROM (i.e. not a modded LG ROM) to be as stable as a stock Nexus 4. Plus, any Nexus is going to be supported by both Google and the dev community for way longer than the Optimus G will be (there isn't even an official 4.2 ROM yet!).
Also would add that if OP ends up with an Optimus G, the Nexus 4 conversion is not worth the risks, especially since there are quite a few well-maintained ROMs available for the E970 (just look at the changelogs).
Thanks for the responses guys. I ended up finding a decent priced Nexus 4 which should arrive next week ^_^
I need the developer/Google support so much

Is that even an option with Verizon? As far as I knew they didn't sell any unlocked devices nor did they allow them to be connected to their network, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, I'd personally go for the Moto X or LG G2. But if you're feeling risky, wait until the release of the Nexus 5 and see if Verizon decides to carry it or not. Google and Verizon have had a tumultuous relationship over the past years, to say the least.
I'm leaving Verizon for T-Mobile and an unlocked Nexus 5 in January. I'm liking what I'm seeing out of T-Mobile and what the future holds for them as they continue to rapidly expand their 4G LTE network. Plus $70/mo for unlimited talk/text/data is unbeatable.

They just announced developer editions of both the moto x and droid maxx today, so things are looking up. The g2 was where I was leaning until I started to see how some of the Dev community was receiving it. I was hoping to get something with top specs AND Dev support too.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4
The G2 is what I was looking at. The specs are amazing. But I really like Moto. So I was looking at X and the Maxx.
Trying to do everything I can to keep my unlimited. I might jump to T-Mobile.

I like the specs and look for the Sony xperia Z1, 1 meter water resistance and shock proof could come in handy..
My brother has a moto atrix HD, pretty nice phone and unlocked.
Don't have but I've moved to a s4 and loving it. . So fast like lightning lol.. But flimsy but a decent case does the trick

Same goes for Note 3... it's really not that crazy. Amazon wants you to buy through them, so they beat other prices even on new phones sometimes. Amazon is awesome like that

Just shocking that the price came down that fast. To think I paid full retail for mine so I could keep my unlimited data.
In Singapore, a few days ago, it was about 730 dollars. It's 715 today with free OTG, screen protector and official LG window case. I'm getting a brand new one for 650 without the freebies. It would have been 700 couple of days ago. But I'm not complaining.

Who is this shocking to? Anyone who had any slight of a experiences in buying an LG device should have known that.
This was exactly the case with the Optimus G and the G pro. Hey even the HTC One went down in price the first month.
Shocking? No not really

I was reading a lot of posts on the Verizon Community form that there is a bad batch of G2's out there where folks have not been able to use their phone due to a bad SIM. I bought mine day 1 and I have not had any issues.
Par for the course, welcome to getting a phone as soon as it comes out. You wanna play early your gonna pay.

Right. Only phones that don't do that are Apple's but we already know why they don't discount any of their merchandise
I got my GS3 for $149.99 from Radioshack about a month after its release.
Note that this is the case for subsidized pricing which is simply the retailer cutting into their margin since the carrier kicks something back for the new contract or re-up. You never see msrp come down like this.

Samsung Note3 was launched in India for INR49990 with in 15 days the price has come down to INR47990. what's the big deal. if the product is good & the user is satisfied, it's worth the money else even for free, the phone is not worth it.
amazon does penny phones that are brand new too. when the dna came out, I think, or the rezound, one of them, it was a penny like a month after it came out... and they were both high end phones at the time. why is anyone complaining that there's a price drop?
hell, from day one if you went to Verizon online and used their 30 percent off code, the phone was only 140, which is what I paid for it.

But new for a lg g 150 or even 200 is the much much better deal. The lg g is a better phone. The moto g is great but for the same price u or less get the better lg g. Just not much cases for the G version from att.

Bought a G2 in October a few weeks after launch - great phone but I always change phones after about 6 months. Normally I'd have waited until after Mobile World Congress to sell but this was such a good deal for a nice device that I jumped a bit early. Now I have a phone I can tolerate for a little bit along with plenty of cash for the next big thing. Maybe the G2 Pro or something.
The lg g flex it looks pretty sick. I wonder what iPhone people feel since they always change to the same phone
I am going to buy g3, pro 2, and the flex to see which of the 3 I will like the best. Then I'll have 2 phones for sale. I currently have a g2, of and the og pro. As far as lg products are concerned I didnt like the s4 so I sold it. Phones are getting cheaper for lg compared to Samsung. Also I got a 3.00 pay raise so these new phones got affordable.

Well as it stands I currently have the e970/e980 and the g2. I will buy the other 3 when they are out and about. I will sell my g pro and g2. The e970 has a cracked digitizer up in the corner but works fine. I mill through phones very fast. Wife gets annoyed when I buy extra phones for Pandora or media remotes. So I often have 1-2 of each device.

I have an e970, been looking around for a g2 for a while now. It may be a few more months until g flex and whatever else makes it out. It'll be cool if we can make out a deal on the g2 when the time comes around

Go with the lg og you wont be disappointed. The moto g is a nice phone but is a downgrade in comparison to the og with aosp or stock. You can always root then debloat stock and have the lg goodies. Plus 2gb of ram over the motog's 1gb. 8mp camera(lg) vs 5mp camera(moto). Plus lte on the lg optimus g and sd expansion etc etc.....

Well the lg g has an 8 mega camera. A better front camera a better processor a better screen not by much but it is better and so what bitter. The lg g does has more bloatware but u can easily root it and put an cm11 ROM or so on it. U get a better speced phone with the lg g in comparison to the moto g. And it is also cheaper then the moto g. Remember the moto g is a phone made as an beginner smartphone the lg g was a flagship device and made for being a high end phone. So there is no question the lg g is better. But the moto g is a great phone but u get the lg g for a insane low price and better specs. And also has the lg g LTE and NFC what the moto g does not have.

The way I see it other than the android version lo og out classes moto g in every way... just sayin. Also the lg og may feel like it gets hot but its the fact it has a glass back. Makes the device feel hotter than most devices.
I personally think that the zenfone 2 is a great choice, and the lenovo a7000 is pretty decent too.
I'm a huawei man myself the honor line is cool.
I like my lg transpyre pretty well.

Don't. It's complete crap.
Get the moto g from Walmart then get it on straight talk (assuming that's what you use)
Moto g has flash, better phone and it's cheaper.
Just get the flash kit from Walmart for $59 and the moto g should be $59 as well
