Just like the title says......I'm looking for a quadcore phone and for the price, can't really beat this but sadly to say, it's been released since November and have not seen very much action going on here.
Is the LG phone pretty much just the way it is?
Thank you,
Roderick

We will have some stuff very soon. I hope before February, if not then, hopefully in Feb. There are people working on both CM10 and AOKP. The devs haven't had source so are sort of flying blind. They have mentioned they think source will drop soon.

oh very nice......that's what I was thinking too maybe that the source was just not available at this point. Honestly, at this point, this phone is a monster and would love to see some development go on this. lol

What more do you want, the devs don't want to spend to much time on building ICS ROMs when jelly Bean is right around the corner. Once the source drops expect things to pick up.

I don't see why everyone is getting mad at the guy for saying it sucks because, compared to the other devices, it isn't getting much support. That's a fact. It sucks in the sense we don't have much support. It's awesome though that from the support this device DOES have, they seem to be really committed and knowledgeable and I truly believe this device is gonna have some awesome stuff in the coming months.
To the OP, it is getting better. When I first came here, devs were just working on getting the bootloader unlocked. And now we have quite a few ROMs and quite a few mods thanks to the awesome and devoted people in this section. This is still a brand new device and it's only getting better. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for this device!
I'm actually listing this on eBay to sale because I've tried my hand at bringing cm and without sources to go off of its extremely difficult. The phone itself has potential, but don't think it will get the support it deserves due to LG. I'm going back to Samsung and will live my days out there unfortunately.

As for that comment you should go give it a whirl I've spent last week working on a port package to bring 4.1 roms from n4 to this device but piecing together a kernel when that's not my forte is painful and ended in frustration...just ask my wife lol she didn't see my face much.

This....sold my OG and back on my S3. Inferior device....superior user experience. Kind of like the old school apple android days. By the time this thing gets any support, the S4 will be out and undoubtedly destroy the OG...

Source is coming within the month most likely, and honestly I don't miss much from when I had JB on my old phone, but since we are getting JB soon anyways, and some of the devs have CM10 booting....

I think everyone is mad at LG for craptacular support of their device but taking it out on the poster because he is insinuating that the problem is with the developers. They are doing the best they can but only a very small handful of devs have the knowledge, time, and resources to overcome the obstacles in our way, again, because of LG. Once those roadblocks come down, then it will be much, much easier for the garden variety developer to customize and build ROM's for the LGOG, and things should take off.

Development for this phone is non existent. Selling mine to a coworker.
Not the developers faults though. It's LG...and don't plan on buying anything from them again whether it's their TVs or phones. Just took 2 LG TVs back to the store that I bought for my office. I refuse to support a subpar company.
I just think it is insulting to the devs that are working on the device. And everyone thinks nothing is happening since the devs don't post their work here but on the irc Chanel. Is as of everyone expects a CM ROM to be available with in a week of the device dropping, even though we don't have kernel source.

You east coast? I get free UPS shipping thru my business. PM me an offer. I won't cry losing this phone. It was the first S4 Pro phone... Now they're about to be a dime a dozen. I hope you guys end up with a wonderful development scene. However, it's LG, not any dev here.
I just can't believe all the negativity. Every new device takes time. I also don't miss JB at all. This device is faster than all the other ones I've had.
I also can't believe that there is another thread asking about development. There's a section for that. All you have to do is look there.

I don't believe they are trying to talk bad about the great work this entire Dev community has done, but rather about LG. You guys have done a great job with what you were given. The OG components wise is a great product, but the fact that LG released it obviously will hinder its progress and potential. GL to you guys and I am sure you will release a great product with exceptional support unlike LG

Not anywhere near a $99 price point, but I agree. Would've waited but I can't afford an upgrade being in college, and I managed to get this phone for free.
Not to be pessimistic, but LG takes their sweet time releasing source. Coming from a G2X and 03D.

I am due for an upgrade June 1st, and one of the biggest things I am looking at is the dev communities for each. I absolutely despise Touchwiz, which means, if I get the S4, I'm unlocking it literally the second it is in my hand, On the flipside, I would like to keep up with Android versions, so the 4.1.2 on the HTC One irks me a bit(so I'd unlock that as well). Anyway, I was wondering if any of the devs here are working on, or planning to get and work on, either of these devices. It would be kind of nice to keep the same ROMs across devices if possible. Thanks!

hey my upgrade is June 1st as well lol
i think im going to get the S4. looks like $149.99 for Sprint?
tried last week (about 15days til 1st) said i could get can early upgrade for $100. smh
today is about 9 days i guess, wonder if they will let me upgrade without that fee
As soon as there is an unlock for the ATT Galaxy S4 I bet Ktoonsez will start making kernels for that. he has a great kernel for the S3 and I know he owns an S4 now.
*UPDATE 9/25*
Ok guys, sbreen94 spent some of his precious time and blindly built a ROM for the AT&T G2 in hopes to give you guys a taste of what would be to come. We had some trouble getting it to boot, so he is going to stop for now since he has other development projects that he can spend his time on.
The only true way for him to work his magic would be to get a device into his hands. As of now we only have CleanROM. That's great for a stock, debloated experience and it definitely serves a purpose. But if you want an experience with a tons more customization, then Hyperdrive will be a great addition to our dev community.
I have added some pics to the OP of the tweaks and customizations from his S4 that you could eventually expect here.
Please let me know if you are interested and how much you would like to donate! :thumbup:
*UPDATE*
With the recent developments today of obtaining Loki and TWRP, we are a full go for ROM development and flashing. Hopefully this bounty catches steam because Scott would be the perfect dev to get us our first super tweaked and customized ROM. Let's do this! :thumbup:
-----------------------------------------
Hey guys, I promised my good buddy Scott (sbreen94), the dev from the infamous Hyperdrive series of ROM's that I would make a bounty thread for him to try and get a G2 in his hands. For those of you not familiar with him, here is his XDA profile link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
I will quickly start off about why I am doing this. Before I moved to AT&T about two months ago, I was on Verizon and had a S4. The phone was a lagfest and sbreen94's ROM, Hyperdrive, was the only ROM that eliminated the lag on the S4. Between launcher tweaks, build.prop tweaks, etc, he was able to make that phone fly. Not only that, he adds a crazy amount of customization options. His ROM was absolutely second to none on the Verizon S4. I will 100% vouch for the quality of his ROM's and I think he would be an enormous asset to the G2 community. He is a great guy and is always willing to help. When I came to AT&T, I had a S4 for the first two months before I got my G2 last week. Scott and I were testing his ROM to try and port it to AT&T. He spent countless hours sending me test ROM's and AT&T packs. We were super close right before I got the G2.
My goal is to get an AT&T G2 in his hands and I am asking for support here in this thread. I am looking to raise $600 for Scott to get his awesome ROM on this device. And look, I totally understand that the bootloader is in question, as well as custom recovery. I am obviously asking for no money up front and if custom ROM's don't look very promising, then you can definitely go back on your pledge. All I ask is that if you are interested, please make a pledge in this thread and I will keep the tally. If and when we reach $600, you guys can send your pledge to Scott via his PayPal ([email protected]). I am in for the first $50, but I will definitely go up from there if there is a lot of interest and we get close enough to the $600.
To look at examples of his excellent work, here are links to 3 of his ROM's:
S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724
S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106830
Note 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294477
Thanks everyone for your time, and let's get this man a G2 to get a killer ROM on our shiny new devices! Please feel free to ask me any questions as I am in frequent contact with Scott. :good:

Let me chime in real quick. I am very familiar with sbreens hyperdrive ROM. I've had it on my gs3 and my fiances note 10.1. It has all the customizations anyone can ask for and it is incredibly smooth so... When I get paid I will pledge because other than the M.O.A.R ROM hyperdrive is thee most customizable rom you can get and I can understand why this bounty is brought about. Look this guy up he is an elite developer. Yes he is one of the top 5 developers in the past year. Look him up. Good idea OP
Will he be porting this over to VZN G2?
Well frankly speaking, I develop ROM for lg devices only & i'm quiet familiar with their frameworks..
I dont mind making a few for the G2
As well. But first we need to get the BL unlocked.
Consider me in for Custom ROMs as well, though I don't have this device.

I agree, but I wanted to start this thread now to get backers in anticipation for either a bootloader unlock or an exploit so we can start flashing roms.
Please make your pledges guys if you're interested. Like I said in the op, you aren't tied to your pledges if flashing custom roms won't be possible for any reason.

We don't need the bootloader unlocked to flash a custom rom. For all we know an exploit could be released today, and at least we would be ahead of the curve by taking pledges for donations. :thumbup:

All the devs I messaged will not accept a rom development donation at all until the BL is exploited/unlocked, they will however take all the help they can get to buy the device though
Edit: OP I just noticed the title of this thread is for the AT&T model, that might hinder funding here. Correct me if im wrong but doesnt Hyperdrive span across all carriers in the aroma installer? Maybe the title should be changed for all carriers? just a thought

No is the answer you always have unless you ask.

threads like this will always keep coming, best is to report it.
Here is how it is: the device is new, as always with new devices it takes time before enough people have the device to work with it. The htc one has been around for some time and enough devs have it to have "3 builders".
In about 6 month when next cm version releases and a new phone releases, guess what? This phone will get the "updates" faster than that new phone. And repeating this year after year until everyone is poor.

I wonder if the reason for that is because you have to purchase the phone outright in most cases, instead of making payments to a carrier. Maybe makes for a different mix in here than most of the other forums?

Perhaps, however I am on a contract maybe there are a lot of people who bought it outright? I think it's due to the volume of development, it paves the way for choice. When they're far and few between people tend to have shorter and less patient tempers.
Yup, great crowd in this corner of the site.
But this is off topic, so I'm going to close the thread now.
Your words are appreciated by all though I sure. :good:
