I *think* I've figured out that "geeb" refers to the ATT E970*, but sometimes it seems to mean any of the E97x series. How/why/what? Am I mis-understanding something?
*Which I have, and have run a couple version of CM and now SlimKat.

Geeb is the codename for only the LG Optimus G E970

It's the E970's codename, just like Mako is N4, and N5 is Hammerhead.

Thank you! I did search both the forums and google-wide for a definition. I did later in an unrelated thread find someone asking a similar question about other variants, something like "geeah" and such. I wish folks would stick w/ the E970 name.
Trying to track down what's in a release is tricky, when dealing w/ base level OS version, ASOP, a mod-team name, and line or particular model of phone, a kernel version with a fancy pet-named add-on pack...

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.

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?

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTKE0sSulKc
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.

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

Any chance of us getting this ported over? Seeing as how OG and Nexus 4 goodies have been shared back and forth etc.:victory:

If you have a converted LGOG it's just as simple as flashing it directly, but I'm sure as time passes we'll get a proper ROM based on 4.4 soon enough.

There's nothing in the original development subforum *here* for the LGOG, are you meaning some other location, like the Nexus 4 subforum perhaps?

In the future, will it be possible to extract Nexus5 rom/updates and apply them directly to G2 ?
Just asking, because G2 and Nexus are sharing a lot of same hardware.
It'll probably be easier to port Nexus5 rom, instead of having a lot of work on a common 10.2CM ?

Its fairly easy to port ROMS from Nexus 5. However reading log cats is the main thing here. Thankfully most people can't read log cats so it stops the noobs flood the place with terrible ports. To answer your question yes it can.

We don't know availability of Nexus5 (already out of stock), so G2 could be a great alternative to Nexus5 (with better battery lol)

Yes, but is it better to port rom from Nexus5 directly (with probably minor adaptations), or to adapt a common CM10.2 tree to G2 devices ?

Exactly, CM is built from AOSP.
there is a guy with a video on youtube that says he has files to download to the g2 to make it a virtual nexus 5. he demos it and says the files are in the description but I did not see them there. He says no root is required and it does look like a nexus 5, but I don't know if it is kitkat or not. it also looked like he was getting some FCs too.

Yea the Optimus G Pro already received 4.4 based off the N4. I'm suprised we haven't got 4.4 based off the N5 yet. Perhaps the devs are still getting comfortable with the new hardware.
Real good to know about the N5/G2 ease of porting. I'm particularly curious about the kernels and how similar they are to one another. Moving forward with newer versions of Android, the kernels are the important thing.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to port roms over. The only concern I have is whether or not they'd work with the VZW version. Not sure if you could use the RIL from the G2 or a new file from scratch would have to be made to be able to get working data.

of course it's possible to port franco kernel to the g2. the kernel sources are released from lg afaik.
but someone has to do it which is really bad with that many different device configurations.
give it some time and you will see kernels coming, i'm sure

Still trying to understand this. All these phones are getting ports but there are people saying we need a whole new kernel. Yet the bigger devs are supposedly already working on a port?

Yeah I don't know either, wish a Dev could explain this to me... The Optimum G has a mostly functioning Lollipop ROM according to a post I saw on G+ yesterday... Why would it be harder to build for us? Especially since so much of our hardware is similar to the Nexus 5...

You do not need a 5.0 kernel for the G2, older devices have newer versions of android w/o having the corresponding source. I'm using 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S1 just like my G2 (except the S1 obviously didn't receive 4.4.x).

I dont know if anyone is aware, the sprint LG G3 subforum is lacking in kernels and roms. If you want other roms or kernels go to the LG G3 Android Development. not sprint. Almost all of the roms and kernels support LS990. I'm using Xenon HD with the AOSP 777 kernel. Euphoria OS 1.1 also works fine. They are not GSM only and most of them support all variants.
