My g3 has some serious lag lately and from what I understand LG released an update that specificly corrects it. I'm not rooted or Bumped yet (waiting for stable ROM). Should I get the update, or will that screw up my chances of rooting and bumping?

I would, root, unlock, and install Jasmine ROM. The ROM is quite snappy, and battery life much improved. Forget about the update. I haven't heard about any update, anyway.
Just checked my system update and nothing. Where is this update?

I haven't received notification of update from Verizon or anything. I just read this a couple of days ago and figured eventually (in a year or so) Verizon would get it and send it out. Here's one of the places that talks about it:

Thanks I'm gonna check that out. My last phone was a gnex and i ran Shiny ROM on it. Was very stable (minor issues) till the last 4.4.4 update when I switched to the G3. Pretty much stock android and that's what I'm looking for for the G3. Thanks again.
Jasmine ROM ftw !!!!
Use a different Launcher if you have the stock one. Nova is pretty good. Use something other than the LG keyboard, and enable developer options and set your animation scales at .5x (window animation,transition animation, and animation duration).
If you have any intention of ever using custom ROM's, then I think it best to stay far, far away from, OTA "updates". They just update the degree of control placed over the use of the phone.
Jasmine is pretty stable and works quite well.

My v10d Firmware Optimus One just got a new v10E firmware update notification today. Has anyone updated their phones to this version? Are there any new features in this update?

It's not new, but evidently for some regions it is. It's merely the 2.2.2 update which fixes some bugs (security related).
Actually we got our Android 2.2.2 update with firmware v10d update last month. So this is obviously something different. Anyone tried it yet?
Havent tried it yet...
Some people still running stock
Just kidding No offense.
Custom roms require that you have time learn how to install them and also void the guarantee. Not all people have the time or skills or want to put their phone at risk. In fact, most regular phone users do not.
it could be ginger bread, early surprise!

Yup, because they like to root their devices. It seems 2.2.X is not happily rootable.

The problem that i see with using ROMS is that they come with many bugs. Especially CM7 comes with buggy GPS. I might start using custom ROMS when LG stops upgrading Android for us but up till then, Happy with stocks.
Now, has anyone tried the new update?

I am on a very slow net connection not to mention constant disconnection. It will take me forever to download the update.
did a big big big mistake by updating it....will downgrade it in a day or two
Why? Could you post the firmware info after the update?
why do you call it a mistake? is the firmware bad?
it laggy & slow,
if u use Launcher pro or SE Arc launcher it became hell slow , & now it take even more time 2 boot the devices,
few improvement is opening sms & coanct is faster than before ,
main thing it lag only in stock launcher is good,
is the touch screen bug still there? what about sd card unmounts?
my battery is draining faster with the new update!! goes only 7-8 hrs... earlier it used to go 14-15 hrs.... and the sad thing is it still draining after i downgraded to 2.2..
plz help...
After giving us a very good phone, LG is f**king things up. On my stock rom 2.2, I had 48.5 neocore.
Then LG updated to 2.2.1. Neocore dropped to 38.
Then LG updated to 2.2.2. Neocore. Dropped to 32.
You know what's happening? Neocore has limits of about 60. And we already touched 60 in cm7 by mik and in Andy's gb also.
Their highest end phone optimus 2x, coming for triple the price, has, I guess almost this much Neocore only. So, they don't want to offend the owners and prospects of their high end phones. So, I think, they are systematically downgrading O1 instead of upgrading.
Lets see what happens with official gingerbread.
I wish I am proved wrong.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Good thing I am still on v10b. The original stock that came with it. Never upgraded, never will till Gingerbread comes out.
And I may be wrong but not even the developers here have been able to get a permanent solution for phone reboots and / or SD card unmounts have they?
Also gingerbread upgrade won't be marked as E after D. It will be marked with v11 or such probably as it is a huge upgrade and V10b/c/d/e just seem minor updates as they are.
if u want something different on ur device then just flash this rom n still i think something upgrade for that rom like Gingerbread theme but still its awesome without any bugsjust try

I just got back home with my shiny new S4 and I can't wait to get the thing rooted and rom'd. But! Before I take the dive, I'd like to test the waters of this lovely phone's community.
If you have a few minutes to spare:
- What rom/kernel are you using? Why?
- What is one thing that you wish you knew about the S4 before flashing?
Thanks!

As far as I know (which I'm not 100%sure since I'm on mdk) you cannot flash custom roms yet if on the latest update (mj7 with Android 4.3) If you're lucky enough (unlikely) to get one with me7 firmware, you can flash custom roms with safestrap. This phone is not doing so well in the development area as I expected it would before release. Hopefully someone can figure out a way around the locked down bootloader

That makes it painfully obvious that you haven't read much around here.
What you first need to know is what firmware version you have. That determines what you can do.
What you asked is equivalent to saying that you have a car then asking what you can do to improve it - no data on what year or model, or what you want to do. Without that info, how can anyone help you? If you can't even be bothered to figure out what build you have to start with, nobody can suggest anything to help you.

I managed to figure that out a couple minutes ago. I actually got pushed to ME7 while I was rooting my S4 (ironic?) and was able to stop it after that. So, it seems I was one of the lucky(ish) ones. Would've been nice to stay at MDK, but SafeStrap seems to be one hell of a tool.

Hey there... I remember you from the Fascinate forums. I finally ended up getting an S4 about 2 1/2 months ago and for the most part it's a great device, but you can't expect near the same freedom as you had with the Fascinate.
When I got mine I ended up with ME7 so it sounds like you're in the same boat. I have mine rooted, but decided not to use Safestrap because of the limitations it brings (mainly the storage issue). I'm pretty happy with how I have mine set up and it's pretty snappy overall, but I really do wish I had gotten an MDK in order to really flash roms like I used to on my Fascinate.
If you choose to use Safestrap then go nuts and I hope you find some roms you like (Hyperdrive seems to get the most love around here from what I've noticed). I'll just quickly list off the modifications I did to mine that got it to where I like it:
-Froze all bloat with Titanium, including the SDM 1.0 (to prevent unwanted updates)
-Got rid of e911 icon and ongoing WiFi notification
-Installed the International Voice Dialer with call recording
-Installed Volume Boost mod (increased it around 50% over stock)
-Installed Xposed Framework so I could use Greenify features
-Used Greenify to hibernate all misbehaving apps (examples would be Facebook and Google Play Store) (... this increased battery life A LOT)
-Installed AdAway (adblocker)
-Turned all animations down to .5 in developer options and disabled all hovering effects on the lock screen
Doing all that really made this thing a lot better than it was, but I'm still hoping for a true bootloader unlock to start playing with it more. I have found a lot of the Touchwiz features to be quite useful, like the voice control stuff, camera app, etc, so I would probably stick with a modded Touchwiz rom if I had the option. Good luck.
edit: Oh and another thing you might not be aware of - the camera is set to 9.5MP by default in the app, you need to go into settings to use the native 13MP resolution.
One thing to note that no one mentioned (and in case you didn't read elsewhere) is that with SafeStrap you can not use ROMs with custom kernels. So that means no AOSP based ROMs like CM, Carbon, PACman and others since they are all using a custom kernel. At least until they get KEXEC working with SafeStrap (if they get it working). So basically you can only use modded TW roms with a stock kernel.
I just wanted to find out if everyone is going to do the Lollipop update when it finally does become available for Verizon or not. Or will you just keep what version you have or stay rooted? I have been hearing that the AT&T update does not really improve anything and it does not look much different.

Nope. I have my phone setup perfectly. I'm on 10B, haven't even updated to 12B/C/D or whatever. I would update to deodexed 12B if there was good enough reason, but I definitely wouldn't jump to lollypop. I won't use lollypop until my next phone (G4 once it gains root).
I will once there is a stock based ROM to flash.

According to Drippler, LG3 users in the US on ATT system are not being able to defer the Lollipop update. If they select no to the update, it updates the phone anyway. Just putting this out FYI and confirmation.

Shouldn't be a problem if you've frozen or removed the updater like a good boy should ?
Coming from the Moto X 2014, I enjoyed 3 months of Lollipop unrooted. On a Verizon phone at that, go figure. I'm hoping to take 5.0 or whatever version is served up to us asap...
Battery life seems to have taken a bit of a plunge in LP according to this
http://blog.gsmarena.com/benchmarking-android-5-0-lollipop-battery-life-samsung-galaxy-s5-lg-g3/
What is the updater file name? I run a custom Rom but want to make sure it isn't enabled. I searched the system files for anything with OTA in it and didn't see it. But I have had to TOT back to 10B twice since I bumped the phone and don't want to be vulnerable if I should ever have to do it again. Thanks.

On VZW you should freeze the following, not sure on a custom rom
com.lge.lgfota.permission
System Updates
It depends on whether or not LP fixes the audio hiss issue. My phone is my portable mp3 player, and although I love having root, it's gotta be a good phone and good music player first. So frustrating hearing hiss while listening to music... I'd lose root in a heartbeat if they fixed this.
Lollipop is super sweet... Kinda hard not to want it on my g3 after using on my Nexus 7 2013. I mean basically with me running a ROM I have a Nexus 6 with removable battery and expandable memory lol...
I am a little disappointed in Stock lollipop on the other carriers. I do like the new notifications, task mgr, users, etc but I just like the status bar toggles as they are in Stock lollipop...
Luckily xposed is now slowly creeping into lollipop so I'd say in a month life will be sweet!
Although, real talk, if the g4 comes out with 4gbs of ram (yes I know it's not needed but I want it for future proofing) I'd probably sell my g3. But honestly lol I really do love my g3, g watch, etc and am very content hanging on!
some people still use Polaroid instant cameras.
I will update at the first second available.
Depends on if I can keep root across the OTA. I've been able to keep it from 10b to 12b, we'll see what the reports are out there. If I can keep it, and if I can downgrade back to 10b if needs be, then I'll probably try it out.
LP on my Nexus 7 (2012) has been hit or miss. After it's been up and running for awhile, my Nexus 7 will just freeze and I'll have to reboot. I don't have that issue with KK, especially on my G3. The G3 currently runs smooth and I rarely reboot it, ever. And it runs just fine.
So, I'll have to wait and see how things go with LP on this device. As it is, there is a memory leak in the latest version and no word yet from Google on if/when that gets fixed.

No good reason except to keep up with the latest and greatest. It has a couple of nice features but is still a little buggy according to several threads I've read.
I'm staying on 4.4.2 until 5.02 comes out to fix some of the little bugs and Xposed module is stable and works correctly.

Good idea. I did the upgrade and immediately my battery life was cut by a quarter. Instead of going from 6am to 11 pm I now have to recharge by 3pm. Samsung, of course, doens't have an answer. I did a factory reset and that didn't have an effect. One support guy told me to wait til the phone 'adjusted' to the new OS. It's a phone, not a living thing! It works or it does not. And because of some mojo stuff the update did to the phone rumor says you can't go back to KitKat.
I'd wait until this is worked out before I upgraded.
If your rooted try changing the governor/scheduler to Powersave and CFQ ..
My battery life has doubled.
At 10pm my phone is still 50 to 60 % left.
Also turn-off animations and De-bloat it.
Not rooted so that's out. Did all the rest and still bad battery life.
The good news is that Omega Rom is coming out with a Lollipop version shortly. That's the Rom I've been on for years over several different devices and their releases are pretty stable. So I'll give it a shot when the new Omega is released.
I went back to KitKat yesterday and my battery life is excellent again. I'll think long and hard before I upgrade again. All things considered equal if your battery doesn't last any additionally functionality is a waste. Poor move, Goggle.

I'm getting better battery life on Lollipop and like it so far. ::Indie:: does a great job with the Omega ROM. His Lollipop ROM is no exception.
I don't really like the white background on everything but I'm sure there will be themes out shortly.
I'm really enjoying lollipop. Running http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/mods-lolliozop-t3036068 everything customizable and smooth. Only missing xposed

After 6.0 Im done good news
Sweet! all we need to do is wait 6 months to get it ;=\
Android versions are moving so fast now developers can barely keep up, every new version has less features than the last and by time they start added some a new version is out. Granted 5.1.1 was SOOO bad I'm on cyanogenmod and at my house I don't even have service, id rather deal with that than the phone lagging to the point I have to pull the battery. I'm going to be switching carriers and sticking with cm but this is definitely my last Samsung phone.
I must be one of the ucky few who have almost 0 issues with 0G6, the errors (bugs / problems) I do have are easily fixed by a simple reboot. As for Marshmallow, I've knows for days as I asked a store associate at my carrier store whether or not I was getting it. He checked android central (of all things) to conclude that I was receiving it. And he was right. Now the waiting commences. My only question is, how long does it take for the official firmware to be released after the OTA becomes available?
The phone is unusable on 5.1.1 I don't see it getting better on android m . I always will try a new firmware but my experience has been that any thing after dob1 is crap. and cnk2 is faster than dob1
One other thing . dont hold your breath. I remember samsung saying the gt-19300 was going to get jellybean and then they changed their mind because of not enough ram. the motorola atrix was supposed to get Ice cream sandwich and that was also rescinded due to ram issues. I will believe it when I see it.
i'm too kind of done with samsung they pack the phone with goodies that you can't enjoy if the signal issue is not fix i will change phone brand i've read motorala are excellent with signal
one more bad software and my phone will end up like a marshmallow when i get done with it.LOL

On my phone after installing fog6 it runs OK for a day or two. Then It gets very laggy. To the point where the screen completely locks up and becomes unresponsive. It freezes.once I reboot the phone it is fine for a few hours but eventually it will freeze again. Typing is hard because of lag. I will type several characters and they won't appear until several seconds later. Often times when the phone rings I try to answer it but the phone becomes unresponsive and I miss the call. I then reboot and find out who called and call them back. This almost always happens if I am using the browser or an app when the phone rings. My phone is rooted and my wife's phone is not but we both have had these lag and performance issues on fog6 and fof6. I even debloated the phones and that still didn't help the lag. A reboot will fix it for a while but the phone will always lag again and freeze up when I need it the most. This is why I reverted to dob1. It is nowhere near as laggy . But even better than dob1 in my opinion is cnk2 . It is kit Kat but runs like a dream with no lag and all apps running no need to debloat. This phone was made for kitkat. It has 2 gigs of ram. That is why it is having problems on lollipop. I don't know how your phone seems to be OK maybe you are just lucky but I use my phone heavily and sad to say it can't perform on lollipop the way it does on 442 kitkat

You just explained mine AND my girls phone exactly!!!!! Stock did it so I DE bloated both phones, same issue, Installed shinys kernel and made all the tweaks, same crap. It has nothing to do with the ram, its a software issue and to my knowledge is limited to Tmobile!
afaik the other carriers are on 5.0 which is definitely not as laggy . anyway I am on cnk2 rooted twrp recovery with xposed and everything is running awesome. i could stay with this till the s7 comes out.
5.1.1 has never been laggy and I'm on db01 running cyanideL. Ran Blisspop forever and never any lag. I've seen these post and they are mostly from the same people who have jumped on every firmware update the moment it came out and got jocked everytime! They have caused the issue themselves trying every tweak in the book; the phone final said enough

Not sure I agree with this. I moved from at ATT S4 running KK to the S5 running 5.1.1. S4 ran fine but just a tad slow. So I figured I'd "upgrade". BTW, I'm as stock as one can be and have the same type of issues.

My girls phone came stock with fof6 and she couldn't deal with the non stop lag so I tried debloating it for her which didn't help, At that time I was running the sickness rom and happy. Later the fog6 came out and I told her Id update her phone clean with odin to it and do mine as well as I wanted the stagefright patched and hoped that since I was several radios behind I may get better signal at my house. After that we remained stock and within days it was not usable so I began debloating both phones, which didn't help. Shinys kernel was the only thing that helped but the lag out still occurs daily. I agree updating the phone is what caused the lag, but that's what people buy new phones for and update them, to stay current!
Let's hope that the bugs are worked out in 6.0. I believe samsung knows what to do with this phone if they are updating it. We all love touchwiz and deserve the same experience, newer device owners have. All I'm saying is be thankful, because if the Korean company was right about the prediction of 6.0, we wouldn't be receiving this update at all
