why are there few roms for the lg g2 mini? as compared the galaxy s4 mini (about 50 custom roms), the lg g2 mini has only 2-3 alpha unstable roms... can we expect more roms or it is just that lg g2 mini is not very popular and bootloader is locked..so we cannot expect more roms coming..?
Because S4 mini released in july 2013. G2 mini released in april 2014, so wait 8 months and then will se

ah ok i didnt know the s4 mini was that old. Ok thx. That said any idea if lg g2 mini will get official android l update?
Well rather than just sitting on your butt, you could start doing some research into how to built roms from sources, zaaap, has luckily for us made a lot of possibilities, so it's just about getting started. I myself am far from a developer, android expert or anything like that... But still I'm trying to find a possible way to create a miui rom from source, I'm not saying it's going good , but atleast it's worth a try.
So don't just wait, try to do something yourself and help the community

Are you referring to the Nexus 5? Because of course that'll have more development than a non-Nexus device.
This phone does NOT lac dev support.
It is included as an officially supported device by CM
It WILL get cm11 soon.
Hell even the exnyos 4 devices got it.so why can't this device get it?duh....

But back to topic..I'm ready,able, and willing to test any unofficial cm11 rom
How does my s3 and the s4 and s3 mini have cm11 already and lg g2 which is basically a nexus no ****ty exynos cpu still doesnt i bought a lg g2 thinking it would be like a super nexus but i was wrong my s3 still get updates quicker and is as far away from a nexus you can get, i have 4 days to decide if i want to return the lg g2 so i can get a nexus 5 or keep the G2 so im really stuck with what to do.

Get the nexus 5 .if ur gonna keep complaining about lac of dev support.
This phone is new and will take a while for development
As for the s3,the device may have cm11 but it has plenty of bugs because of exnyos
And s4 is based on Qualcomm 600 which I think Devs are pretty familiar with
So plz if u really want to stay here and discourage others I would request u to kindly buy the nexus 5 and get what u want

As for the Galaxies, they have been out longer, have a wider breadth of developers so more people have eyes on it, more people familiar with the kernel etc. Also, the Nexus 5 is different enough from the G2 that I really don't think we're going to see simply ports to our hardware. Just like the Optimus G and Nexus 4.
If you want a Nexus-like experience, get a Nexus. Simple as that.

almost of the smartphone has CM11 already, but G2 still nothing.. how sad..
Not just sad, but unbelievable. Guess we need to gift a LG G2 32gb to a Cm developer.
I think its possible to compile CM11 with what is currently available. I'll try and setup my build environment later this evening. I'll give it a shot. Bugs guaranteed but ... we need more bleeding edge stuff for this phone to attract more recognised devs to develop for this device.
Its people like these impatient dou***bags that make devs not want to build for us..if you want it go build it yourself and stop trolling this isn't Google+. If you want to troll do it there like everyone else.

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.

Very nice.
But we will have to wait until October or later, since Android L will be released around September.
BTW, I think that it is Android 5.0 , because it has so many changes.

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)

You do not need a 5.0 kernel for the G2, older devices have newer versions of android w/o having the corresponding source. I'm using 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S1 just like my G2 (except the S1 obviously didn't receive 4.4.x).
