@rebar71 That's pretty goodnews, but I also think they will deliver it since even their low end devices are getting the G3 UI and the G2 didnt reached the 18 months yet so there should be an update remaining. It would be even better if LG would give an unlock tool then the G3 UI update will get released. If the UI gets simplified so must be the bootloader just simplify it and allow bootloader unlock :good:
Is there really a need to open a new thread everytime someone finds this on the web?
I'm happy with cyanogenmod 11 and by the time this update comes out cyanogenmod 13 will of been out for a few months ????????

I like CM a lot as well. I ran it and its variants on my last phone. But on this device, I haven't use it yet because I've decided that I like having everything work. No disrespect meant to the CM team and other AOSP devs. You can only do so much without OEM drivers. And they do a fantastic job with what they have.
If the Nexus 5 had been more competitive in a couple of key areas, I would've bought that phone instead.

the only thing i dont like about the AOSP is the camera. I've tried different camera apps and none of them was comparable with the stock one(xcam). The AOSP based roms would otherwise be perfect for me.
I use the play store Google camera, now HDR works it's brilliant, I don't really miss the lg camera as it's a pain to have to keep switching modes for different situations, I much prefer the lg g3 camera though as it's flat, quick and one setting does all.
It's great news but we already have Cloudy G3.

Yes, we do have a G3 ported ROM. But like I said, I've found that I like having everything working. And there is one pretty cool feature exclusive to T-Mobile devices that does not exist on any custom ROM... WiFi calling.

Really? It has to do with getting the G3 UI and having everything working as it should. I thought I made that clear already. Considering that pretty much all custom ROMs are built around the D802 variant, the rest of us invariably have stuff that doesn't work with those ROMs. Some of those things are important to some of us.
getting a new ui doesn't get you new apps and stability... it's just the looks of the user interface and i doubt that has anything to do with system apps update... (although, it would be nice to see an update to this as well)
it's just like you change the theme in the rom that supports themes...
what i see here is that LG will update the UI only - if we get both UI update and new android version, that would be nice though

You can have the G3 UI with G2 "everything working as it should" stuff with Xposed and G2 Tweaksbox.

How?
The thing is, while we might get the UI look, I'm sure as hell we won't get split sceen, hide front touch buttons and other cool stuff. That's LG, folks - and it's somewhat understandable since they want your money.
that's why ported g3 roms exist... with a bit of help from xposed here and there

Xposed modules take care of the tweaks I need. Hell, I would think you guys would be stoked about this. With the OEM delivering it, you wouldn't need to use a ported hack - and everything would work. We wouldn't need a semi-stable port. Maybe they throw in the split screen, maybe they don't. Who cares. It's just software. You can add it later just like we do now.
I seriously don't understand the hate on display here. If I was an LG rep and came across this thread, I might be inclined to say, "screw those guys. I guess they don't want it." But the fact that a lot of you are running the G3 port says you do want it.
Sent from my LG-D801
no hate, but knowing LG so far, we'll likely get just an UI update while Android L will remain for their newer devices only...
sure, developers will do their best to port L to G2... but official LG Android L - i doubt...
i hope i'm wrong and LG surprises us all for the 1st time

Any idea on when at&t LG optimus g will be getting the 4.1.2 update? Or even just a 4.1 jellybean. I'm guessing it'll be 4.1.2. Since sprints version just got. Also I'm guessing this is why this device. Doesn't have so many. Roms as of yet.. maybe everyone is just waiting for. A. Ota. Jellybean
noone knows when AT&T will roll out the jelly bean update. there are some jelly bean roms in development section you can try out.
Yeah I'm so eager to try it out but I just got my phone yesterday lol I'm.probably gonna wait alil bit til I root and rom my phone
I'm waiting for keylime pie.

What I ment was I'm guessing the devs for this device are waiting for the jellybean update. That's why there's not to many roms,I'm sure once jellybean hits this device everyone will start making roms. There's really no point in making roms since its on 4.0.4 make a rom jellybean hits then devs have to rebase and remake there whole rom so might as well wait.. hopefully its true though chus this is a really nice device to not have any support/roms

Have you looked st the developer section? There's ROMs already out that are based on native code. The part where you say to not have any support or ROMs is far from true.

Last time I checked converting your phone into a nexus 4 is a mod not a rom and if you check again there's only 2 roms available that's currently about up to date everything else has stoped,that's what I ment with more support/roms.yeah I can see there roms available but for this device I think it deserves way more support than that

Stop whining about AT&T and do something about it. As in, try the Original Android Development forum. We have AOSP, AOKP, and CM10.1 mostly functional. I agree some more ROMs would be neat, but really, what are you so desperate for?
That said, I have an honest question: Aside from maybe PA, what are we still missing out on ROM-wise? 30 reskins of AOKP?
Edit: Sorry about the tone, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing this thread over and over again. Official 4.1.2 will come when it comes, but why not run an 80% functional 4.2.2 today?

I bet all the money in the world that if this device had htcs name on it or samsung this phone would be filled with roms and support. But no that's not the case just chus its lg and so many ppl hating on lg it has lack of support that's all I'm saying with this awsome device it has potential to have way more support

X2. There's a fully functioning 4.1.2 that SnowLeopardJB created, in addition to the ones mentioned above. The 4.2.3 roms don't have fully functioning GPS or camera, but they will have them shortly. Synergye's created an AOSP rom, that's using the latest Android developments, that will put this device ahead of the N4, once the quirks are worked out. Reskins aren't ROM's, so leaving that nuance out, what ROM are you looking for that you can't run today?
One addition: If you bought this phone thinking that AT&T was going to support it, you didn't do your research. Apple and Samsung are the only devices that receive any support from AT&T. That's because the former does it's own device support and the latter has enough market share that they can enforce their will on AT&T.

yes i have. i have jelly bean on my LGOG right now and it is fully functional. you're saying there's no support or roms out for this device when that just isnt true. there's even a 4.2.2 rom out that can do everything except camera and GPS. and those will be fixed soon. so what i'm saying is if you say there's little support then you just arent seeing everything in this forum that is out. if you refuse to flash jelly bean on your phone right now then that's the choice you make to stick with ICS. you have the chance to get jelly bean on your LGOG right now, you're just deciding not to.

That was the core of my question. AOSP, AOKP, CM10.1, and ParanoidAndroid are the only major ROMs I've heard of, and we have all but the last one. This is my first Android device, so I wasn't sure if there was really something big we were still missing.
As for why this phone if I knew AT&T sucked? I needed a new phone when there was still no idea when the Nexus 4 would come back in stock, so I got what was thought to be the next best thing. Honestly, with AOSP, this will be even better than the N4 once the GPS and camera are working.
And I can always convert a year down the road when everyone moves on.

As you've said in your other thread, you are new to this phone. Which means others have had this phone for a while. Whatever question(s) you might have probably has been asked and answered or at least discussed before already.

Correction:saying what I want to say in my opinion is not whining in the comandments that's called "freedom of speech" not whining. You have a problem with that go rewrite the comandment with whining instead of freedom of speech chus I'm just stating my own opinion
Commandments? Are you referring to the Bill of Rights? You do know that that same freedom of speech is also extended to anyone who wants to say you are whining, right?
Anyway, enough of the childish back and forth. As stated myriad times in this forum, as is usually the case, no one knows for sure when we'll get JB from AT&T. We have some great devs working on giving us fully functional CM, AOKP and CFX. Patience is a virtue, and we'll be getting some more love soon.
In the meantime, what's missing from the stock experience? You want Google Now? You can get it. Other than that it's just as smooth as JB.

But when you're opinion is wrong, then that would be considered either a) not knowledgable of the facts, or b) whining...as others have said, if you want 10 different versions of AOSP or CM10.1, or 15 versions of the current kernel, then this may not be the phone for you. I could say that my opinion is that the sky is red, but just because I've stated that's my opinion doesn't make it correct. The current version of JB on this device works 100% and is smooth as any phone I've ever used...ever (and I've had all the latest and greatest). You never answered someone's earlier question...what is it exactly that you want that is not being offered at this time?
You may be new to the phone, but you're not new to the forums. So I'm hoping within the last ~2.5 years you've noticed that there's a search feature. Considering this phone has been out for 5-6 months?, correct me if I'm wrong, this question was bound to be asked several times. If you don't want people complaining about your complaining, then it's advised to look through the forums. Feel free to be ungrateful for what the devs of this community has given us, but it's not like you've made anything. If you're in such a hurry, build a rom yourself.
Hey guys/devs,
I'm coming from the HTC One and the community was top. I'm not a dev and always appreciated their/your work. I'm not serious if the LG G2 could be my daily partner or if I should keep my love with the One alive. A big tip in balance is how the LG G2 is supported by it's community/devs. I know this phone is new and that I have to be patient with.
But the only thing making me sad is seeing other mods and roms rising (!) in the Verizon and AT&T section of XDA. What about the International G2 (D802)? Don't get me wrong, I would like to thank all those guys who uploaded their stuff for the D802. But for me the community keeps a phone alive. The International G2 seems not to be that much supported or do you have plans for mods and (especially) custom roms?
Thank you!

we will get there eventually, keep in mind the devs are not evil and they are just normal people like us. So if they have the choice between a subsidized phone (or branded or any word wich applies) for around 100 to 200 $ or an international version for around 5-600 $ ... i'll let the answer to you..
The international g2 is just released .. and that you doesnt see here anything doesnt mean that there is no WIP .
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk 4
I like options as much as anyone but I'll have to say that the stock rom is tight. And the built in features are definately something that ppl want in a complete custom rom. We are mostly waiting for the Nexus 5 because if it is based mostly on the G2, ports will happen on every rom worth using. This phone isn't exactly open source with binaries and even great devs are struggling to reverse engineer the sound. ..to be understood though as the are only 2 phones out right now with a 24 bit DAC so other code doesn't exist to sample from. Cyanogen is in the works but like I said without knock on at the very least, devs don't want to down grade there own phone to support something that's doughy in the center.

There is lots of development going on behind the scenes. D802 has been out 8 days. I own it, I'm testing on it and I hope to be able to release ROM's for it, but it takes time.

its just math/time. 802 will probablly outnumber all other.
You have to remember a few things about the D802:
1) It is just released, so those of us with the D802 are playing catch up.
2) We love our phones, but our lives take precedent when needed.
3) The LG is not HTC or Samsung. They have legions of people because they are the most popular (IMO). That doesn't make them the best, but what it gives them is a larger group of dedicated devs.
4) Lastly, there is a lot in the works for the D802. I myself want to work on a D802 project I have been thinking about since I bought the phone, but as stated above, my life takes precedent when needed.
Wow. I have the exact same dilemma eating my mind up from the inside. I also own an HTC One and yes, the developers do absolutely love that device (it's even been featured by the official XDA editors in several videos and articles on the main XDA page). I also want to get the LG G2 especially since it has the more powerful Snapdragon 800 SoC but i keep checking back in here everyday and there is still zero ROMs for the international version (model: D802). I know that it's been barely a week since the international version was released, but comparatively, if you have a look at the other forums, especially the Galaxy Note 3 dev forum is already bustling with activity; several ROMs, scripts and whatnots. I just hope the G2 developers catch up soon and even if they take their time, i like to believe that quality is what matters! :highfive:

I don't think anyone has done any new fixes for 4.3 conversion, as there's really not much point anymore. Some of the old fixes might still work, but you're probably better off converting back. Is there a particular ROM you want that hasn't been ported? If not, what's your reason to stay converted?

There are plenty of 4.3 ROM available for non converted devices which are non stock, and which yield excellent battery life. I recommend you try some of them before dismissing them.

I saw this and I figured I'd jump in, I'm also converted and I'm wondering about a GPS fix- I've easily applied the fixes for Ext SD, Cap Keys, etc, however GPS seems to aloud me- I can't find a way to make it work in a normal fashion, Maybe if I'd give it like a long time it would work but then what's the point?
So, I was wondering, what was a way that worked for you to make GPS work?
Additionally, I will say that in all my time doing android (hasn't been long, but I've gone through at least 7-8 devices including most of the flagships) I've never seen any version of CM run as smooth and stable as a stock nexus 4, but that's just me- I like roms who work fairly quickly out of the box, not ones where you have to keep putting out fires and fixing stuff.
Anyway, regarding my question- any idea how to "fix" GPS?
Most of the experienced users and developers do not approve of the n4 conversion and a lot of us explicitly refuse to support it. So convert back, you should have just been patient and waited the wee bit of time it took to get aosp roms on here without converting.

Is that so? A developer's website which doesn't support developing? How wonderfully condescending of you!
Couple of things:
First off, I just did this conversion, after having being annoyed with the optimus UI in my optimus g which I procured from ebay at a wonderful price of 170$ for a mint in box price. I figured converting to a nexus 4 would simply grant me a wonderful stock rom to use, much like Galaxy S4 use flash the GPe rom for their own use.
The fact that this very simple process (honestly, just use the tot file provided in LGNPST, god almighty, it's child's play! only ODIN is easier than this!) is not supported in my eyes just goes to show the truly awful state in which we found ourselves in- Instead of exploring new avenues, we fear advancement and change and are told to "stick to our pre-approved roms".
Well sir, perhaps I'm not your idea of an "experienced user" but I will not be kow-towed! I'll just figure this out on my own, as I did with most things I needed to figure out while helping my friends with their android devices for the last couple of years.
Not to bash the devs of course, they offer us choice and we choose to put our heads in the sand.
In any case, have a wonderful day, let me know of anything else you don't approve of so I can immediately remove it from my life-
Electricity? Running Water? Breathing Air?
Good day!
Missunderstanding..

You're completely missing the point. It wasn't about being condescending at all, but to inform the user that no one with E970s are working on the converted version anymore, as you can run the ASOP perfectly fine "natively". So, since all development is going into working with the latest releases on non-converted E970, why should we recommend N4 converting your E970?? No one will help you should anything go wrong.
That's not being condescending, just a statement of facts. Sorry.
This issue could be avoided if people would just do a bit more reading before jumping into the conversion. I agree there is no real point to convert anymore.

Well sir, perhaps I'm not your idea of an "experienced user" but I will not be kow-towed! I'll just figure this out on my own, as I did with most things I needed to figure out while helping my friends with their android devices for the last couple of years.
Not to bash the devs of course, they offer us choice and we choose to put our heads in the sand.
In any case, have a wonderful day, let me know of anything else you don't approve of so I can immediately remove it from my life-
Electricity? Running Water? Breathing Air?
Good day!

Something is off about you. I informed you of by far the path of least resistance to put 4.3 on your phone. Instead you suggest I am kowtowing you. That doesn't make any sense.

The conversion was a hack released against the wishes of those who discovered it, then left unsupported. Dvhexer released some patches until 4.1 update made the whole thing pointless. If you convert your phone so you can feel like a rebel that's fine, but it will be pointed out how silly it is if support is asked for.
Hey!
I had a question about the"New G3 Optimus UI" for a week now for LG, and today i managed to speak with LG Mobile.
They said that "We got the information about the new UI will come to the successful LG G2, but for now we can't say any date for that, but soon" :good:
Hope, everybody will be happy cuz i am :fingers-crossed:

Yeah I love how the G3 UI looks, and even though I'm rooted I never flashed the Cloudy G3 rom or whatever on. I'M GOING TO WAIT IT OUT, C'MON LG DON'T LET ME DOWN! :good:
Good news!

I think we will get Android L update, make sense, if a Samsung S4 with Snapdragon 600 getting it...
I also texted to LG Hngary about the new ui. Got the same information also. If you want to translate its Hungarian language
Next time, ask if we can expect it to arrive before 2015
I chatted with them few days ago but was told they had no info about futute updates -,-

G2 is not an old device. Optimus G is an old device. Why would they say, that they got an info about UI update... Makes no sense. Anyway we have to sit and wait.
I know that Sony always updates most of their devices to a new UI introduced with a new device, so it makes sense for LG to do that to.

Not just Sony... Samsung have done the same thing on S2, S Advance, Ace 2 etc etc. But the new ui comes up with the new android version. Maybe we will get the g3 ui with the android l

After Release LG Optimus UI 3.0, LG will update their new skin to old devices ( LG Optimus 2X, Optimus Black etc ).

Yep, maybe with new version. If LG decide that we will skip, 4.4.3/4.4.4 then we jump to L right away. But UI update can come with a simple update also, without version upgrade, anyway... We must wait.
maybe the G2 users will get the G3 UI for Android L that would be good better as 4.4.4 but i aint sure about it

Can post screenshots with that conversation between you and LG?
Hey guys, legitimate question here. It seems that there is no development being done for this and other of the 2015 flagships. Am I missing something?
Imo phone is solid out of the box. I have a 6p to mess around with.

What "development" do you expect? With Xposed and a plethora of modules, there really is no need for specialized custom ROMs. All you need is a rock-solid base and off you go. You can even theme everything in the phone with the LG Apps Theme Engine.

Then go ask the Cyanogen devs to support the V10. Complaining here accomplishes exactly nothing.

Where in that is exactly ... "complaining"? I asked a legitimate question. Seems that you are complaining about the question I asked.

I used hyperbole. The fact remains that reaching out to devs directly will have far more effect than posting threads here.
It's not like they'll magically swoop in here and say "Oh guys, so sorry we haven't made anything for your phone yet, we'll get right on it!"
If you want to see action, post on Cyanogen's forum, open a github issue, or PM/mention devs who developed for LG phones in the past to see what their opinion is.
I can understand wanting to flash ROMs and such, it can definitely be fun, and it's good to have alternatives. But maybe i'm getting old, but i'm a bit tired of it nowadays: the bootloops, certain things not working, having to start over, the time wasted, missing phone calls from your girlfriend because you bootlooped and are constantly booted in recovery lmao. I think OEMs have come a long way since the early days of Android, so i'm usually good with rooted stock now, or a deodexed version. This phone already runs pretty great out of the box, so maybe try and enjoy it as it was made to be. And for sure with the Tmo model rootable, there's xposed, tweakbox, etc. But i definitely understand, OP, even flagship phones don't necessarily have as many custom ROMs as they used to.
The V10 is an awesome phone... But specialty development (cyanogen mod, AOSP) is going off a bit... First off development doesn't just happen... This is a brand new phone model, and although it uses a lot of the G4's hardware, there are a lot of differences, second screen being the biggest, also, t-mobiles version is currently the only one world wide with root access. Further hurting our chances. As for other flagship models, carriers and manufacturers, have been making it harder to root and modify phones... Which has been scaring development away... (why buy a phone you may never be able to modify?) if you want phones with a ton of options for development, I suggest you stick to either nexus devices, and /or something similar to the S series phones... That gets a ton of development... Plain and simple, T-Mobile is the only carrier on earth that doesn't care what you do to your phone. And from a development standpoint, this phone has only been out a little over 2 months, and currently has one model world wide with root access so unless someone Crack the bootloader on other models, or systemless root access becomes a reality with marshmallow, it's probably going to be a slow go... If you really want CM on your V10, (not sure why when you can strip this down to bare bones) you could build us all a rom... Seeing as you believe it's so easy...

Plus I'd say nowadays in many cases, you lose more than you gain by erasing the software that skilled professionals have developed for your phone. Like you said, those guys good lol. Maybe carriers and/or other corporate/financial concerns might dumb things down or limit features, but root can be plenty enough to open things up for savvy users.

I agree. Outside of Nexus devices I found that Cyanogen has never had proper quality control and the maintainers do whatever they want. Random things are constantly broken and are never acknowledged or fixed. You never know whether a new nightly would fix things or just break things more, even if you followed the commit logs. It's certainly more of an enthusiast's endeavor rather than a rock-solid daily driver OS.
Then there is the garbage camera image quality on non-Nexus phones - the proprietary image processing libraries and other stuff from stock ROMs are just unrivaled and Cyanogen has never been able to match stock camera quality.
I found that especially in the last year or so, stock ROMs have really become robust and polished and I simply do not need to flash Cyanogen anymore to "unsuck" my phone. Root and Xposed are enough to clean up and customize the stock ROM the way I like it and make my phone perfect.

It doesn't work yet? There's a thread on it, so I tried it and it did theme some stuff, but maybe it isn't fully working? Plus I could swear that my system update center broke after using the Inverted UI module

It needs in rom support, which we don't have yet, to fully work completely. Probably why it seems like it broke stuff...

LOL! Well, if I knew how to code, I could do it, but I don't... so yeah. Unless adding the support is simpler than recoding a bunch of APKs?
While more development is always great, I'm very happy with debloated and deodexed stock-based ROMs for the V10. @siraltus has done good work, and that's really all I need, the ability to root, run Xposed and be free from bloatware. I'm sort of over Cyanogenmod in terms of actually flashing it myself. The importance of CM in the history of Android can't be overstated, but for a device with such specialized hardware as the V10 (secondary display, DAC/Amp, etc.), I don't think CM would ever be as good as a stock-based ROM.
I even prefer a stock theme nowadays.... At least it's consistent throughout the system, and I know I'll be able to read any and all text on my phone lol.
