I was and am still very impressed with this phone. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when my phone arrived and I opened the box for the first time. This phone is still among the best of them even a year after being released.

This is common for him, he's one the best devs his roms are stable advanced and usually ahead of the times for like a month of other roms but every phone I have ever owned that he made a Rom for usual gets a few builds and when its 100% stable he's gone foreve.

He's like kaiser soce - poof, he's gone... I used the Ariel ROM on my SGS3 and it was the best of the (tons of) stock-based ROMs. He put it up and after a few tweaks, that was about it. As was said earlier, he didn't seem to care much about making an update just to add a minor feature. Once it was solid, he let it be.
I just picked up an LGOG last night and am definitely flashing this ROM.
As long as he comes back and makes a JB version of The Base (once we get JB), I'll be happy.

Quite off-topic - closed.

1 concern.

So I ended up caving in and buying this phone thanks to your xda feedback. You may have responded to my topic before. I love this phone, man is it a beast of a phone for its contract price.
But anyway, only one small concern. This phone gets pretty damn hot. Is this safe at all? I mean for the phone.

When I first rooted, mine got scalding hot in recovery, so hot that it would shut itself off and not turn on until cooling off. Given that, it hasn't done it since the first couple weeks, and my phone is still running excellently with no signs of slowing. I would say don't worry about it.
Eco mode helps with that.

i've only had mine get hot on big downloads (or big uploads thru google+) i run hotspot at work sometimes i'm on bluetooth all day, texts and calls all day, using the internet a lot (ifunny! :laugh: haha) and it doesnt get too hot. i've run nocturnal, slick rom, stock, and currently running the 4.1.2 rom and so far so good...great battery life compared to my old phones too

Knock Knock speed.....

Hey guys, I suppose everyone has seen the g2 commercials, u notice the speed they do the knock knock at the end of the commercial, I started doing my knock at that speed, and its been damn near 100% reliable. Might give it a shot....

I have always been doing it that way and it is as close to 100% as you can get. People just like to cry about things without trying different ways first. :thumbup:

Great find!!! Attempted same speed to put in "sleep" mode though in this scenario the quicker succession works better.

Vzw g2 and Sony smart watch2

I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.
First off pro and con
* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.
Pros
* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.
* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.
*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving
Con's
* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.
*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

So this is a smart watch that works with other phones not just Sony. Was just gonna start researching this. Love the galaxy gear but didn't want the note 3. So I got G2. Are there other manufacturers doing this.

Yes this one work with all androids. I like the fact that I don't have to go to my pocket to check to see about a message. I don't always feel it when it vibrates since I don't like the sound. Its really easy to see it sun light just not in the dark with out turning on the back light

Letting y'all know I'll be returning the smart watch just the few days I've had it the watches battery got better but my phones battery dropped from 5 hours of screen on to 1-1/12 hrs. I'm not around a charger that often. I can't have it die on me that quick. I loved it just thought it would help battery life since I wouldn't be turning the screen on that often

No. Yes.
Best phone overall I've ever owned. And the development on here is awesome. I'm like a kid in a geeky candy store.
coming from HTC and sense I have to say the gui is really nice. stock Wetherclock is ugly as hell... just change.
the camera sux when using flash other then that it's amazing best phone ever
miss not being able to fully unlock bootloader but there is actually no point in doing that when stick Rom is near perfect. just root and disable som blotware

Dont flash cm/pa only because you want to flash something. Stock is faster and easy adjustable.

Come on, faster?
Noooo. 4.4 debloated and running in art mode on this thing is ridiculous fast, and the extra free ram and fewer running processes make for much better multitasking.
I did love the stock rom, but a properly setup aosp rom will always be faster.

LG G2 and Paranoid Android 4.0 is a match made in geek heaven. I love this phone and haven't even thought of trading it (coming from a guy that has had the S4, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5s all in the past 7 months because he wasn't satisfied.)

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

There is no point repeating this, mate. There will always be "smarter" people who will claim that free RAM is good as if our phones were running Windows 95.
How do you like your new G2, OP?

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.
How do you think the infamous v6 supercharger script worked?

That article was written 2 years ago and was incorrect when it was written. Do you understand that an article isn't definitive proof? You just linked me to the opinion of another because you're not intelligent enough to articulate the idea your self.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.
