Right now we only have carrier specific threads for development. While those are needed and appreciated I am finding it extremely difficult to learn or locate carrier specific information on xda. The threads for general, Q&A, accessories, and themes are crossing over each other and its like wading thru a swamp of information. I am personally on sprint and I have found myself ending up in threads that have nothing to do with sprint hoping to find fixes or ideas that dont even apply to my model. Frankly, its very frustrating. I can from the photon, and my wife has the htc one. I have used xda for those models in the past, and still do, and can find informatikn specific to my carrier easily.
Can I use search? Sure I worked in the web search industry for over a decade but that doesnt help if I can choose a specific category (that category in this case being sprint). So searching for info in the lg g2 threads as they are now is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I know there are other people who must feel the same as I do about this. Id simply like my experience in the lg g2 forums to be as good as it is in other places on xda. I dont know why the g2 forums were set up like this, but frankly its a nightmare content wise. It would also help development further by breaking out info carrier by carrier.
Mods, we need carrier specific forums for the g2. Please add yourself to this post of you feel the same way. Those that dont can start a different thread to leave things the same as they are now. This if for those that feel doing this would improve their g2 experience on xda.
Blame LG for this fragmentation nightmare. ...never and i mean never had there been so many variants. ...its sickening

Not really. There's a specific GS3 forum for each variant, and other Samsung devices. XDA probably doesn't realize LG has a decent size customer base that use these forums so they don't give them the attention they deserve.
Theres fragmentation with every device specific to each carrier to one extent or another. Im not talking about throwing blame for this reason or that reason. However, I do want people to speak up on this so that XDA will address and fix the LG G2 forums. I spent time in the htc one forums for my wifes phone tonight and because its sprint specific I found what I needed in minutes. I cannot do that with the LG side of XDA. Its a mess. I dont know how developers can even follow things enough to help anyone or keep track of things.
This disorganizatikn gives me a new level of respect for them and the craziness they deal with to help the average schmoe like me.
Please this is much needed, all Samsung devices and other as well have carrier specific threads. LG G2 section is a huge mess.

Well us 803's and 805's don't even have a section. So just be happy you have a carrier section.

You should have included a poll so the mods can have some numbers to look at to see how many people would like it split into carrier specific threads.
I didnt think about a poll, but Im hoping that people will take the time to chime in here if nothing else just to show support for the idea by saying "Yes, I want to have carrier specific threads as well!"
Poll created. Please add you vote!
I'd love to have a specific section for the vzw g2. It'd make it so much easier to find things and be able to post problems/questions specifically about the Verizon version.

Seems like Sprint has a large user base here. Didn't think this device was that popular on Sprint. It's actually nice to see more users on Sprint.
I'll add my +1 here but we may have to go to the dedicated forum request thread and post there.

I already said this in a thread that got deleted... but, and no offense to anyone, but I'm personally sick of weeding through the broken English posts on here. I'd really like a Verizon specific forum, like Android central does. I've never dealt with a phone that was combined like this, and some of these posts just make me cringe lol

Where's your Rom at? Are you working on anything?
Ok, here's what happens, the devs here are great, and have the potential to be on par as any other devs that have been on xda for a long time. They are working on lots of stuff, yes, many are broken, that's mostly HTC's Fault for releasing half asked sources, and making things different, but there's another issue... The users here want all this stuff badly! So you can somehow blame the impatience of wanting something new.

I know some people will go to the development sections and be like Where is this ROM? and so on. Just a PSA about the sections in development. Currently there is a section for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. I'm not sure about the international version or Sprint.

Excellent! It's great to see so much dev work happening so quickly. Especially for those of us on Verizon since this is likely as close to the N5 as we're going to get.

I just deleted my subscription to the LG G2 forum, then re-added, and still don't see a Verizon section. On the XDA paid app. Strange.
Edit: Must be an app thing, because I definitely see it on my computer. Hope the app catches up with the changes. Anyone else see it on the XDA apps?

Guess the moderators finally recognized this as a flagship device :good: Ive been seeing this device being marketed on TV alot more lately and really all i watch is sports and thats where it is heavily promoted. Good marketing strategy LG! It used to be nothing but Samsung on ESPN but now its been thwarted by LG. I really like the demographic they are shooting for here
Dev's,
I just wanted to make a post saying that yes, there are people here interested in ROM's, and YES we do appreciate your work.
I am patiently waiting for a working CM10 or 4.4 AOSP, and don't really mind the time it takes to build as long as its solid.
i will test where i can

Well a couple of reasons for that. The G2 for Sprint came out almost a month after the other G2 variants. Also, CDMA phones have always been the step child of Android Development.
Rest assure there is development for this phone. I have personally tested a few 4.3.x and 4.4 roms. The devs don't want to release half ass stuff. When the threads start here, they will be close to perfect.
Patience grasshopper.

its actually nice to hear that someone is working on it.
I had a Gnex and the development was explosive compared to the G2 (not surprisingly), but as I'm sure you can see in this forum, it looks pretty empty.
Without a doubt i am grateful for every dev who is working on Roms for our phone, but without any forum movement, it looks pretty stagnant. Your response is nice to see, and I am sure that I'm not the only one who is happy to hear that there is someone somewhere trying to help the bastard stepchild of the G2 world out

The "best" one will be the one that's got all the features you're looking for!
These threads get shut down quick, because there's no such thing. And we (collectively, as note3 owners) can't be assed to answer a new thread about this every other day.
They're all pretty solid. You know what to do. (back it up, flash a few!)

general idea: the threads with the most activity tend to get the most fan, and usually means they're the ones that get the most dev attention.
anything by mjcollum is always good, for a start.
Best is in the eye of the beholder, as XDA is not a support site, members are expected to make this determination on their own based on reading and studying of products offered in the development threads.
