Porting the final Lollipop "preview" to our G2 - G2 General

Hey guys,
Google just posted the updated preview of L to the Nexus 5 and 7 WiFi yesterday.
Now I know that it's not really the last build, but everyone on the internet are saying that it looks like the code is almost final.
So I wanted to ask - Are there developers here who's maybe working on a port for the LG G2?
I'd be really excited and happy to see a Lollipop port to our device, and if someone could do that, well...
Thanks.

Patience...
The SDK was released late yesterday. Our fantastic devs will port Android L to us sometime. Just have patience and wait.

Ohh but It's soooo hard to wait.
But say what you don't say, our developers are the best!
I just wanted to know if someone's working or will work soon on it.
Because there's at least until December for CyanogenMod's team to release CM12, and no one wants to wait that long.

Port it yourself, then.
It takes time for a port to get stable - it's not about getting Android L first. And devs won't release a half baked build, because some people will start complaining and crying.
So if you're really in a hurry, start porting yourself.

I wish I knew how to port.
And it's not that I didn't try learning, I just never got to understand how. This whole subject is hard for me.
And I'm not complaining or something, so don't get me wrong. I just wanted to see if some developers are working on it. I respect them and I know that it takes time.

Just wait a bit for the Lollisauce, and you'll get it pretty fast

the new lollipop preview is very close to final build.there is no major bug.so any developer please give porting a try.please.whole g2 community will be very thankful to you guys @fabioio @savoca @Cloudyfa @OptimusRs @bender_007 @dr87
and a request to those,who are going to say me to port it yourself,that i dont have any knowledge in porting

Guys you also have to know that porting like that is dangerous in somethings, it is harder since its an higher android version and its probably unstable also with alot of bugs. So I suggest just to wait until android L source is out , Cyanogenmod12.

I would advise against it.there is no lg reference device (like last year), and you would be working off an sdk with no device specific bits. I don't think a functional port would be worth the effort involved.just wait and you'll have something before the end of the year (probably sooner).

But the source is out already, isn't it?
And Cyanogenmod 12 will be out no sooner than December...
I have no problem testing on my device and helping in anything else that needed.

There are a lot of ROMs for older devices which has no official support on the specific version. And from what I know Cyanogenmod are releasing new versions for devices even before any references appear, without any support.

CM my a**. CM11 is on M11 and you can still find bugs.
LG update is what matters. Rest is just meh.

Does one of you know a developer who would maybe take that quest?
Our G2 is a great device, I'm sure it's gonna live longer!

I'd love to see someone port it but then again communities these days are awfull. It would be a fun project if there weren't people complaining about bugs and demanding fixes..

They have stopped CM9 dev for all devices thats what I heard last from them.
They are concentrating on CM10.
As for your question, like everywhere else our good old Venue is invisible for the world no one seems to get it.

I've been using the CM7 firmware and it's been a while explore more of its capabilities.
Thank you in advance.
i felt bad for this device. it has so many potential but due to lack of devs its going no where. i mean we are stuck at cm7 and miui but even my samsung galaxy mini a super cheap ph of onl 600mhz a armv6 runs jelly bean /cyanogen mod 10. this is possible coz of dedicated devs we got for that mobile. so for venue we need some dedicated dev and helping hand then its possible.:crying:

It's mainly that, we dont have any devs that are willing/able to work on the V long-term.
If you want CM support, donate a dozen or so V's to the CM teams and hope someone is willing to play with it. Otherwise you cant realistically port to a device you dont have access to.
Only reason the S5/S7/S10 have CM9 ports are because someone went though the trouble of porting the kernel for each respective device.

Other thing I think we could think about is porting CM9/10/7 to Venue ourselves (modifying the CM's sourcecode), and then submit changes to CM code repos. We will need approval, and have to maintain this device's code base thereafter. However if changes are OK then it can be considered an official support. I once heard "be the change you want to see in this world", this might be the best thing that can describe Venue's situation so far.
The problem is, exactly like what Manii has said, there are too few developers who is willing to work with this device for long term. There are very few devices on Amazon left also, as I checked!

Yes you are right but I think you first need an unofficial working rom first before you submit ur work to the official cm site. And they take years before accepting as official..for galaxy mini after tj style submit his work to cm team they accept it officially nearly after one years and more.
My point is that official or not I dont know but its true we have very less dev willing to work with this device so we need some joined contribution towards develppment from our side.

There's no point in asking this question. Do you really think there's devs who start building the latest cm for the g2 because you say pretty, pretty please, while if you hadn't asked, they wouldn't build it? I really can't understand why people start threds like this.

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.

more complete theming is what I was hoping for...so far the dialer and messaging apps don't change when I apply themes. Not like the old MIUI, say, on the D2G, used to.

I went to the HTC One and also working on the Nexus 5 and possible LGG2 which is my new primary phone...As for the MIUI on this, I havent forgot anyone here. I will try my best to support everything I can. after my drive crashed, I lost a lot of my changes, and between the other 3 other devices (N7G2 as well), family, and work, This one is been kinda on the back burner.
There are some more improvments that MIUI is pushing out as someone has stated, but for the most part, its not really changing much. Its more under the hood improvments then user improvments. Not saying that they dont or wont make user improvments, its not just not as dramatic as for say android has been know to go through
I wont make a promise, but im shooting for the begining of the year for an update on this!!! but please..please dont hold your breath to that.im doing the best that i can with all that i have going on.
So Happy Holidays and Happy New Years to you and your families

This is XDA, right. XDA is made for developers, hackers, modders, device-increasers,... but definitly NOT for people like you, who use the work from others without being a bit thankful. I mean we're really investing a LOT of time in developing, modding, porting, WITHOUT being payed! This is our hobby, not our job, so dont blame us for it. If you really want CM11 on your player, why don't you develop and learn everything on your own? You may now say "I don't have time for that, I got too much to do" , but we devs also got jobs, other hobbys, girlfriends and families. So maybe start it on your own (that's how I and a lot of other devs began) or don't tell us what to do.

Dude they are different devices plus the 4.2 was released AFTER the 4.0. So the support for it isn't as much as the 4.0 and 5.0. I heard that some devs are working hard to port cm11 to the 3.6 and 4.2. I'm grateful that they are. Might be a while but we will likely get it. Until then look at the "holofrenzy ROM" by drakonizer. Its awesome. Reskins your gingerbread to look like cm11 and KitKat. Brought some life to my old galaxy player.
Sent from my LG-LG870 using XDA Free mobile app
VASTLY different devices. If the 4.2 and 3.6 had been using an Exynos3 CPU then they would be getting ROMs in no time, but using OMAP3 CPU effectively limits their processing power and ROM arsenal. You might wanna try porting from Galaxy SL, though.

Devs are working hard to build it, but there seems to be issues building it from source and flashing it. Some Quincyatt users tried to flash it when a dev build it, but failed to flash. Be patient . You might have to wait until February or earlier, because other devs that make roms for other phones are already building Lollipop 5.0.2, which is major fixes,

What kind of proof do we have that we aren't waiting on a ghost?
There is no proof. The original Note is a very aged device now, but very reliable. As reliable as the talent of the developers that exist on XDA. You only have a few choices.
Trust and be patient
Develop yourself
Buy another device.
Don't be so quick to throw the first option away. Sorry, I haven't looked at your stats, but I have been here a while with several devices. One thing I have learned, this device won't die.
Good things come to those who wait. They said the Note wouldn't get JB. They said it wouldn't run KK.

Good things come to those who wait. They said the Note wouldn't get JB. They said it wouldn't run KK.

Was using a Note 3 for a while. Awesome device, but because of the locked bootloder and the fact that safestrap is no longer supported, I just went back to the Note. I'll settle for a slower device as long as I have the flexibility to customize it. I have a hard time understanding why OEMs force consumers into using their ROMs.
P.S. - It's Motorola

There is no proof. The original Note is a very aged device now, but very reliable. As reliable as the talent of the developers that exist on XDA. You only have a few choices.
Trust and be patient
Develop yourself

That's all fine and dandy, I just wish these mystery developers, could at least Identify themselves and make a note (no pun intended) that they do in fact have intention on porting 5.0 to the note, and are in fact at some stage of development (no eta required). I prefer to have this than to having someone, who isn't claiming to be one of these "undercover developers", tell me "yeah someone is probably working on it, and it's probably going to be out in February." for all I know you may be getting your information from talking to a horses butt hole (no flame intended). Even a link to an non-credible noob from some backwater internet forum saying he's in the beginning development stages would be better than "yeah someone is probably working on it, and it's probably going to be out in February."

I'd encourage you to check out the "AT&T Galaxy Note I717 Android Development" and take note of some of the users who have contributed in the past. Those individuals would most likely be building for our device.
Well, I am sorry that I am not your developer in shining armor. Its people like you and your lack of patience which keep developers lurking in the shadows.
No flame intended.
Why don't you try yourself then?

Lol to tell you the truth, I didn't care who or when 5.0 was coming out, I wouldn't have cared up until someone deliberately said:
Devs are working hard to build it, but there seems to be issues building it from source and flashing it. Some Quincyatt users tried to flash it when a dev build it, but failed to flash. Be patient . You might have to wait until February or earlier, because other devs that make roms for other phones are already building Lollipop 5.0.2, which is major fixes,

Which was fine with me, but he DID make it seem like he knew of something going on behind the scenes, so the "proof" I wanted in this case would be a link to some sort of bug report thread or actual development thread. (I wish you could quote me on badgering anyone for a release date LOL) and I voiced this into a reply to the so condescendingly put:
And the Jedi Knight said,
Better late than never. Patience young one

The proof I wanted was in no way shape or form a request for an ETA, but then you had to go ahead and post this

Like we are an angry mob begging you (someone who is not developing for the note, or knows nothing of the matter) for the release date like our lives depend on it.
Ps. I would hardly call what KitKat does on the Note, "running".

Lulz. I've had a great experience with select KK ROMs, particularly Unofficial AOKP and SlimKat. Maybe you just need to know what you're doing. Just passing by to say that and off with you now.
P.S. Thanks devs

Really? I've been running Kit Kat on both of my notes since release! At release there was some bugs, but I'd say sounds like you haven't tried too many distros of it lol! Any newer CM11 runs pretty damn good. And Liquid runs well! I personally found BrokenOS to be practically flawless and I'm running the newest release of Spirit ROM right now and damn its killer! So I'd love to know how you can say Kit Kat is hardly running? LMAO!
