[INFO]LG G2 - Android 4.4.3 - G2 General

Does anyone know if it will be possibile to have Android 4.4.3 on LG G2 D802?
Google release it today according to this article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-4-3-ktu48f-to-begin-rolling-out-to-nexus-5-today/
So maybe the developers could work on a custom ROM with Android 4.4.3 for the next month?
What do you think guys?

My understanding is 4.4.3 is more of a fix for nexus devices that suffer from the camera bug, which apparently drains battery like crazy. It may also be for other devices that have the same bug, however I have yet to hear of anything for the G2.

You'll probably find it pushed upstream from an aosp ROM like Cyanogen, Omni and PA to name a few...

How is this an info thread when ask I see are questions in OP?

Thanks for your answers.
What I understand now is that Anroid 4.4.3 will be a "big fix update package" for the Nexus devices. Perfect !
Ok as usually the big name such as Cyanogen, Omni and PA will probably push it upstream.
wargreymon89: It is right that I ask something and I don't give any details or info about something in specific.
But it is an info topic, in my opinion, because everyone here can write what they know about this version of Android and the possibility to have it for LG G2.
I think for some people on XDA will be interesting to know more about the future of our device. I also hope that LG don't stop the development at Android 4.4.2 so maybe we can have Android 4.4.3 or even better Android 5.0. Who knows ?
In the meantime if you have some useuful information about this particular version of Android of our device, you can wrtie here and everyone will know what you know
It is simple !

Forget it
Based on my experience LG always skip minor upgrade. This phone will jump to 5.0 (probably)
Optimus G 4.1.2 to 4.4.2
G Pro 4.1.2 to 4.4.2
G2 4.2.2 to 4.4.2
And Lseries II (started from L5 i guess) 4.1.2 to 4.4.2

Who knows, we might just see a 21A or so...

The next step is 4.5 MOONSHINE, just announced by Google, probably fall time frame knowing Google's usually time frames.

4.4.3
The Only way to know if LG release 4.4.3 or not is to take a look at LG F320 Variant(Korean Variants) becuz that's what LG release software update first to these devices.

guys its got a lot of fixes

Pffff ;p
Yeh its better to wait for 5.0! :fingers-crossed:

Week is gone, still no 4.4.3, even F320 had not got it. No sign of movement in LG's trenches so far

LG G2 to the next Android version (L Version)
According to sources from Italia, one of 2013's best smartphones - the LG G2 - will be graced by the new, radically different user interface, which debuted in its successor, the LG G3
@AndroidTechEd

so you didn't already see the thread about this just on top of the general section?

I dont know if LG is going to release 4.3. I think LG is just going to wait until 4.4 before providing an update. I just dont trust LG yet to provide multiple software updates because they havent built that reputation.

lol well if someone can see into the future to answer this... forget 4.4 and go right for 5.0 Android Lemon-aid... or lolly-pop?
My amazement is the fact that you are asking to speculate on a release date for our phone, when the Version hasn't even launched yet. That's like asking the exact release date of a phone that hasn't been announced yet

I'd think that would be the smart choice for them, especially considering that the g2 is the basis for the nexus 5. I'd imagine they're developing both in parallel.

Relax dude. Until samsung or htc comes out with a stock 4.4 rom, LG would not be considered behind. I am confident that LG is working on a 4.4 rom and skipped 4.3 completely.

LG G2 Korea version will launch 4.4
From China website "bbs.gfan.com" thread said 4.4 is being in private test (F320L17F_00.kdz) for Korea version F320L so high likely will get stock rom 4.4 update (F320L20X_00.kdz).

晕死了。G2出4.4是肯定的,并且今天就会发正式4.4.目前已经开始内测了,现在是17,然后是18、19,到20的时候就发布正式版。目前的17F就是4.4

Just a reminder to those involved...
This is not a thread for comparing phones (that is how arguments get started). This thread is for the discussion of Android 4.4 only, so please keep it on topic.
Thank you.

I hope that LG in their Android 4.4 KitKat update for LG G2 includes the multiwindow feature similar to Samsungs as shown in this Youtube video below. Watch the 0:50 - 1:20 mark. It looks like this LG multiwindow feature will be headed to the LG G Flex.

That looks amazing!. Normally I don't care much about all those fancy features, but this one I can really see myself using it. If it will work with all apps, and not just with some apps chosen by LG, as it is with the current floating window feature.

I don't think that you even read the article, it was published on 14 Nov and discussed the claims of French carrier SFR that the LG G2 Android 4.4 KitKat update would roll out in either November or December of this year. The author concluded that LG G2 users will be waiting until next year for an Android 4.4 KitKat update.

G2 Mini receiving Android L Update?

Wandering on the internet i found this link : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/556100/20140618/android-4-5-lollipop-update-htc-lg.htm#.U9F7_PmSwj8
It says that LG G2 and G3 will get the update and most likely also G2 Mini will get one to :victory: .
Very nice.
But we will have to wait until October or later, since Android L will be released around September.
BTW, I think that it is Android 5.0 , because it has so many changes.

I do agree with this thought and I think that's exactly what's going to happen. :crying:
I still disagree.
I am pretty sure that LG will release Android L for G2 Mini.
Not sure about next year's Android update, though.
G2 mini is a new phone. It only have a few months. 7 I think. Also on some pages i see that some people asked LG and they say Yes. See Here.

true... today, our old Optimus 2x runs kitkat 4.4.4 almost without a problem (depending if you use HDMI and some other minor stuff)
G2 was my choice for upgrade mainly because of the screen size and quality, it looks nicer than other devices i was considering to buy and most important of all - i got it for a bargain for extending my contract with my provider...
and i don't like samsung or especially iStuff (and HTC ruined their flagships with enormous bezels)

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).
