Are you serious?
Touchwiz is the last thing would want to see on my G2.

Haha no offense, to each his own
Oh, the g2 UI is too fast? I get it , yes if we had touchwiz we could slow it down.
, you've got s5 theme but it's not touchwiz ofc.
The only people I've seen that want TouchWiz, aren't currently on Touchwiz...Trust me, it's better this way.

the reason i bought LG is due to TouchWiz ... enough said
I've tried an S4 and found hardly any major differences between its UI, stock and LG's. people seem to really overblow its impact. speed wise there was also no perceptible difference.

On 4.4.2 there is a minor diff. But on 4.3 (s4) a lot.

Ohh, you make my day
Understanding people own preference but I don't know why some people hate it. I personally think TW is just fine if not great, I was on SGS2 shoman ROM and enjoy TW very much. I didn't see any problem with that. I was on Task's AOKP too. They were all great.
I'm sure here and there I see someone claim " I hate TW or i hate Sense or i hate ASOP , ......"
I guess each framework/launcher has its own advantages and disadvantages and people just find something to hate.
Imho the LG's ui is better than I've ever thougt, i came from dhd and hox. Sense is beautiful but LG has done a very big job during these years.

Any flashable themes that achieve that ?
As much as I love the superiority of the hardware of this device , I am not a big fan of its aesthetics software wise and loves the ICS look on my old Galaxy nexus .

I will simply sell this one and get the nexus ..
I love the pure android experience without the stupid bloatware, but their hardware isn't the best ..

Agree about the hardware. I can live with some bloat thou.. I don't mind touchwiz either... It's mostly theming etc, but cm9 isn't that far of either..

Maybe one of the ROMs is ICS themed.. haven't checked myself, been enjoying stock rooted. But I too loved the new look if ICS and that nice blue, and icecream like contacts
*edit* looks like Omega ROM has an ICS theme available. Maybe that will work for you! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693318

Hi, I think is good that we have LG's UI.
Because I have a Galaxy Nexus with a CM10 and there is nothing else. All the ROMs look exactly the same. With LG we will get mix of LG and CM or Aosp and that will look better.
What you guys think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I agree. I'm not to fond of all the Roms and how they are all the same. They all look the same and to me that's boring. I really like the ui.

I would tend to agree with you. Having different UIs are a nice change of pace while other roms that mimic AOSP are visually boring after a while. However, I think the UI is taking up too much resources that causes the significant battery drain that many reviewers seem to complain about. Personally, once CM10 comes to the Optimus G, I will be using that instead.
With external SD u can have mutiple roms with different flavours
Biggest advantage that I feel which is pushing me for upgrade to this one , obiviously apart from monstorous horsepower underneath is the external SD card. I kinda liked having two roms simultaneously installed in my galaxy S2, always kept one TW based and other CM based.
With One X ,Lost this flexiblity. I hope we get good Devs derived to buy this powerhouse and can provide alot on rom options , both with LG UI and CM/AOKP. This is one of the reason I'm looking for this one.
Cheers to all who are already enjoying this !
noob question here, almost too embarrassed to ask, but how do you add/remove screens? Haven't figured it out yet :\
Yeah.. that's definitely not gonna happen.

It just all depends on what u want. For me I'm a aosp user and hate every other overlay so for me it doesn't bother me if ROMs look the same. If it bothers someone then learn to theme or buy a device that u like the manufacturers skin on but no skin will ever perform as well as aosp.

That's not always true. While aosp uses less resources, since it is geared to work on everything, it may not be as optimized as stock is. Apparently, the nexus 4 performs worse than the optimus g, which could mean that lg did a good job of optimizing it for the device in a way that aosp did not.

Good argument but these manufacturers just take aosp and add **** on top. So your still getting the same aosp as a google phone with **** added on that always makes it slower and there's no way in hell an optimus outperforms the new nexus. Whoever said that (I don't care if it was a 100) is crazy.

I believe it only outperformed it because the benchmarks weren't optimized for 4.2 yet. Who knows what kinda of framework changes Google has done. Also keep in mind that all the Nexus 4 right now have pre-release software. All of them are bound to have bugs.
I really am happy with the roms for our device up to date. Its not just the powerful hardware that gets me. I have plenty of other devices. Aosp, sense, touchwiz, blur. Out of all of the available roms. I'm really digging these LG roms. The launcher. Q-slide. Its all very functional for me. Oh and the calculator especially.
I think even though I'm dying to try Aosp on this phone like every one else. I think at the end of the day ill still be rockin an LG based rom. I was wondering if anyone else is thinking like me?

But seriously, LG did a great job with keeping stock from bogging down the phone.

according to some people in these forums, being here and liking stock is a sin. You run AOSP or anything else non-stock or GTFO.

Coming from the galaxy nexus this phone is really nice. Super fast, nice screen, and overall a great feel. The factory interface isn't too bad, but I do still prefer vanilla android. I'm on T-Mobile and there is a lot of bloatware on here. Does anyone foresee this phone getting much attention from devs?

Just curious, what exactly makes you prefer vanilla Android over LG's UI on the G2?
I'll be joining the G2 community soon. Can tell you now... My plan is to root, stay on stock system and heavily debloat and tweak the system myself. Personally I'm tired of flashing roms and dealing with fixes, workaround and bugs. That's why I'm now on stock on my S2....And plan to keep it that way. After the tweaking and debloating it's smoother, better battery life and bugless.. Unlike just about any custom rom I've ever ran. I totally get the fun of flashing stuff and all that tho..... I'm just personally done with it. I just want a super stable device.

I believe he is asking why you like AOSP over LG's skin, not bloatware related since that can be removed either way.

Root it. Freeze and or remove bloatware. You can also remove the bottom software keys.

I don't want or need the bells and whistles LG baked into their launcher/home app. 7 gigs for a phone OS is pure crap. Just my opinion.
How big is the N5 ROM?

give it a try, you might find yourself sold on the stock ui, its much smoother then any custom rom I have seen, even with all the bloat. This is coming from an recovered flasher.

I just installed CleanROM XE 2.0 - more details in the AT&T dev thread. I've the AT&T LG G2, but it looks like it's set up to work on the T-Mobile variant too. Two days in and I think it's a keeper - performs really well and battery life seems just a bit better than stock. The way that the dev set up the install allows you to cherry pick the features that you want to keep from stock, as well as some of the stock software. It's a pretty slick install and I'm happy with this stock mod. Check out the details - the big draw for me is no Carrier IQ - and see if you like it.
I recently bought a Gs4 on verizon running the latest 4.3 mk2 software and I hate touchwiz. Its just so packed with useless stuff that makes the phone slow. Since I cannot install a custom recovery on this phone I was thinking of trading it for an lg g2 and wiping the os and installing kit kat on it from cyanogen mod. What do you guys think should I do the trade?

You'll have to define "slow." My S4 on the stock unrooted ROM was not what I'd consider to be slow. Rooted on Hyperdrive, it is not slow. I had a Blackberry Storm. That was slow.
KitKat is scheduled to be released this month or next for this phone. I would imagine that our devs will have custom ROMS fairly quickly afterward, if there's not a leak released before.
You might be better posting your question in the G2 forum. You'll probably find more people there with experience on both phones.
There are a lot of nice ROMS for safestrap users... I'm on MK2 ..currently running foxhound diamond dogs and eclipse. Both are pretty close to a aosp experience ( I also despise touchwiz)

I agree with charliepan69. I would safestrap flash a ROM before making the switch
I would keep my S4. LG sucks. The LG g2 looks nice but I'm sure there isn't much development for that device. Pretty soon I'm sure someone will figure out how to flash aosp roms. I remember running safestrap when I had the DROID RAZR and devs made aosp roms compatible with safestrap

I'm with you there... I had the RAZR too. I've thought about the g2 a few times as well and just couldn't do it. By the sounds of it kexec for SafeStrap may be close to coming out and that would change everything. There were a ton of aosp ROMs for the razr I'm sure the s4 will have even more. I couldn't wait myself that's why I just got rid of the mj7 s4.

Touchwiz does suck
Just throw a different launcher on it. I'm running Apex pro. It's quick... usually have between 700 and 800 megs free memory. Not exactly what I'd call a slow phone. I looked at getting the G2 when I got this S4. Very happy with the choice.
Another good point. I use Nova on any an all ROMs I use. I'd say apex an Nova would be the two to choose from in my opinion
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk
Definitely safestrap it and stick with the S4 for now.....
S4 slow? You must've been using Nova, apex, or whatever launcher people use nowadays. My stock unrooted is screaming fast...

No way, there's a huge delay in touch response when tapping an icon. I guess I'm one of the only ones who can notice that. I even bought the prime version a while back and don't use it because I can't stand the lag.

I do not experience that with nova. Although I'll agree stock launcher is faster just because it was optimized for the phone, especially with animations off, but nova is plenty fast and worth having real control over the lajncher

Well I really think it depends on the ROM... and the settings etc. As well.
I'm running Liquid Smooth with Nova right now. and I have no delay at all with touch response and it was so fast I ended up slowing things down a little so I could enjoy the animations from xuimod as well.
Like I said it depends if u ask me.

You must have too much apps running, hold down on the home button for like 3 second and then let go. Close all of the apps you don't need by swiping them to the side. Then see how fast your s4 is. I had my s4 for at least 3 month now, still as fast as out the box (until i rooted and flashed it, now it's even faster with greenify).
