Wasn't there a dev that promised Android L back in june and has now just dissapeared?
₪LG G2₪
Now it's better to just wait for official L release. That port was fake.

Yup. My guess is LG will hand it to us in February next year. Definetly not earlier.

How is LG usually with updates? Is it as fast as HTC or slow as Samsung XD

It's very likely, we had also one report about it.
G2 has only gone from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 - 1 update from LG in total so far. We will get android L but LG are really really slow at updating firmwares, I would even say slower than Samsung.

Surprising
It'd be surprising if we got Android L update in my opinion, I don't trust manufacturers, but let's cross fingers that they'll do it! :good:
This will be my last LG device if we do not receive L.

You'd be surprised how many times LG users have said that over the years. Yet we are still writing from an LG phone.
Ask @60nine who also came from the same LG phone as me, rofl which back then received 4.0.4 when other phones were running 4.2.2 - the wait was long

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)
shh.

Source?
I wouldn't wait for AT&T release the L update. As long as LG releases source code, i'm sure dev will jump on it and get us the best out of it.

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.

VZW for sure will be the last to get it, but on the bright side, maybe the DEV's will be able what to tell what it does to those of us that are rooted.
It seems to me that LG is very eager to ensure the success of their G2 flagship phone, especially given the fact that Samsung and HTC are now a bit behind with the hardware. LG will probably provide the KitKat in order to send a message that they can also provide timely updates, which is one of the reasons that's keeping the enthusiasts adopting their phone (and the enthusiasts are powerful marketing vectors). It would be great to have the KitKat for the G2 in the same day the Nexus 5 is lauched, it would be a very powerful marketing message from LG.
Having used the Optimus 2X for a while, I find this extremely hard to believe. The Nexus 5 reportedly has lower specs than the G2. If the G2 gets 4.4 on the same day as the Nexus 5 is out, it'd seriously hurt the sales of the N5 for Google. But of course, if this is true, it'd be incredible.
How about 4.3 now? Let alone promising 4.4 when it is not even released yet.
-LG G2
Korean models will be for sure the 1st to get it,good to have one lol

Why waste time on 4.3 when they are working out the kinks on 4.2 and then do a direct jump to 4.4? Personally I hope they arent wasting anything on 4.3.
Agreed 4.3 is anyway just a hogwash, i would rather take 4.4 directly(if it brings anything good to table). 4.2.2 was the last major update for me, and anyway performance has been top notch of 4.2.2.
So iron out the kinks in 4.2.2 then upgrade directly to 4.4 and then concentrate on your next flagship.
According to recent leaks, the Nexus 5 will be almost identical (hardware wise) to the international G2! LG is making the Nexus 5 so they have access to the Android 4.4 Code for sure. They may have struck some deal with Google and be able to bring 4.4 to the G2 sooner than we think!

So:
- Different display
- Different camera
- Different battery
- Probably no FM radio
- Different circuit board (given the different button placement)
What more should be different in order to qualify the Nexus 5 as "different" from the G2 (given the fact that the CPU is a common CPU which will be used by all manufacturers in their phones) ?

Taking LG history of not updating there phones add to that the carriers lack of timelynes plus the N5 is set to drop soon i highly doubt we will see 4.4 till at least Q2
Wait, it's from a PRIVATE Facebook chat? There was once LG posted that the next major update was coming to the Optimus 2X the following month. And it never did. So no, my hopes aren't high.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
4.2.2 is running fine atm. No need to rush to 4.4.
As said before, I think Nexus 5 will have 4.4 alone for few months, after that LG will follow.
So we skip 4.3 and we get 4.4 in January or February

The Z Ultra will get 4.3 starting next month, while 4.4 will take time (which is understandable).

Why buy a G2 Mini when the G3 Mini is coming... I think you put your money on the wrong horse and there won't be that much development coming for this phone as everybody knows the G3 Mini is gonna have better specs at the same price...
I honestly do not understand why they waited so long with the G2 Mini tbh. I do hope you'll get some AOSP at least :good:

Sometimes that statement is correct sometimes it is not, depending on circumstances. Personal or not... But the G2 mini/G3 mini is a different story.
When the G2 Mini got released there were leaks already of the G3 Mini. The G2 mini got released way to late:
G2 Mini: Status Available. Released 2014, April
G2: Status Available. Released 2013, September
The first G3 Mini leaks are from april. The G3 is getting annoucned the end of this month and the G3 mini will follow quickly. The timespan between those two phones is just too short. It's not like you have to wait 8-12 months, no it's probably only 1-3 months.
This makes your argument invalid lol.
