In the future, will it be possible to extract Nexus5 rom/updates and apply them directly to G2 ?
Just asking, because G2 and Nexus are sharing a lot of same hardware.
It'll probably be easier to port Nexus5 rom, instead of having a lot of work on a common 10.2CM ?

Its fairly easy to port ROMS from Nexus 5. However reading log cats is the main thing here. Thankfully most people can't read log cats so it stops the noobs flood the place with terrible ports. To answer your question yes it can.

Thx for answering.
Just asking, because i'm really fan of AOSP/light roms.
We don't know availability of Nexus5 (already out of stock), so G2 could be a great alternative to Nexus5 (with better battery lol)

We have AOSP already. Just Original Android Development

Yes, but is it better to port rom from Nexus5 directly (with probably minor adaptations), or to adapt a common CM10.2 tree to G2 devices ?

CM is CM, AOSP is AOSP. It's close, but it's not AOSP, especially these days.

Was getting ready to say the same thing... It does have some changes, which I think are generally for the better.
CM is AOSP based, very enhanced thou with tweaks and major overhaul thanks to gerrit submissions and great dev community.

Exactly, CM is built from AOSP.
there is a guy with a video on youtube that says he has files to download to the g2 to make it a virtual nexus 5. he demos it and says the files are in the description but I did not see them there. He says no root is required and it does look like a nexus 5, but I don't know if it is kitkat or not. it also looked like he was getting some FCs too.

Yea the Optimus G Pro already received 4.4 based off the N4. I'm suprised we haven't got 4.4 based off the N5 yet. Perhaps the devs are still getting comfortable with the new hardware.
Real good to know about the N5/G2 ease of porting. I'm particularly curious about the kernels and how similar they are to one another. Moving forward with newer versions of Android, the kernels are the important thing.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to port roms over. The only concern I have is whether or not they'd work with the VZW version. Not sure if you could use the RIL from the G2 or a new file from scratch would have to be made to be able to get working data.

The n5 carries many similar radio bands both CDMA and lte so it should be fine

of course it's possible to port franco kernel to the g2. the kernel sources are released from lg afaik.
but someone has to do it which is really bad with that many different device configurations.
give it some time and you will see kernels coming, i'm sure

There is already some kernels in the original dev forums. He is porting all sorts of stuff over.

Hey guys,
First off. Mahdi rom is Amazing! I love all the features and it had just the right amount of features for my new G2! Thanks Doc for maintaining this for us!
Second, I am a kernel dev and am working on my own kernel for the G2. I have essentially made my base Savoca's Furnace Kernel (With his permission of course) and will be adding in features as I go. Currently I build for the Moto G but wanted to buy a higher end device and love this phone. I have the D800 (AT&T) so as it stands I only have a test kernel for the D800/JDI. You may be able to use Savoca's new panel tool that you flash after flashing the kernel to swap screen support. I would love for some others to test it out and let me know. I will be bringing a different perspective to kernel Dev'n than normal. I like to be hands on about the process and to instigate discussion so others can learn. Let me know if anyone is interested.I will be building for all variants that Furnace kernel supports.
Note to ALL: I will open an official thread when I am satisfied with testing. Thanks for your interest! Hope I can bring something new to the G2!
Right now I have added:
Custom Hotplug from Blechd0se (Moto G) Falcon Hotplug - Ultra simplified and efficient.
Sl(auo)b optimizations
frandom
ETC
Check source for more indepth info!
Just pm me if you are interested. Everything looks to be going pretty good so I should be opening a thread pretty soon. Remember this is still in Beta. Still I would love to hear from others out there. Thanks!

Not 100% sure but give it a try. Should hurt anything. I am fairly new to the G2 and don't know every single in and out yet. I do know that the source base is pretty fractured but I am hoping to bridge the gap a bit. Let me know so I can let others know in the future. Thanks!
OK just flashed. Booted fine but froze and that is my fault
..I started playing around and enabled intellidemand. From what I remember for some reason that gov is a problems. Rebooted and left the kernel stock. Now running fine and no problems. I'll update on battery and perf.

Great, Thanks for the info, I will most likely be removing it anyways. I have inherited Savoca's source and am laying mine down ontop. He did all the amazing groundwork that will allow me to support numerous devices much much sooner. Thanks and let me know how it continues to work for you!
@RenderBroken booted up just fine. Running smooth. I'll report back tomorrow as well. Thanks again for building for us. ?
Render, since I cleaned the kernel and left it stock I'm getting the SOD. If I let the screen go off and try to turn the screen back on it just lights up black. Tried and tried but just a black screen. Unfortunately I had to go back for now. Can't wait to try it once it gets cleaned up.

Link to source ?
I looked at Savoca source and it appeared to have no FM support in audio driver, same as Mahdi now.
I'll copy my post from Mahdi thread, in case your interested in enabling FM:
I've concluded that sound/soc/msm/msm8974.c needs to be patched with the "#ifdef CONFIG_SND_FM_RADIO" code seen here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_msm8974/blob/cm-11.0/sound/soc/msm/msm8974.c
Unless you're up for that, I'll presume I'll try it myself.
Any tips for kernel building for a JDI LS980 ? I built a few Android kernels in 2013, but never even tried flashing them.
That said, I've been doing embedded linux professionally since 1997.
Thanks !
1 question. Why didn't you post the kernel in one of the development sections??

At first it could be in Original Dev section. I can test something on d802 LGD. @mikereidis u have a G2? if yes then it's great to see more devs here

hi, thank you for supporting our beloved g2 we all appreciate it, i just have a request. you see , only the Qremote can control the IR on our device, lg didnt use the real android open source drivers for it . so we cant use apps like smartIR whereas samsung n htc are compatible. im just suggesting if you can try and implement open source IR drivers to the g2 ? so that we can use all these apps that utilize that api i know this is gonna be an insanely though part as you'd have to figure out which hw IR we are using and then implement a compatible driver for it. but im just suggesting that this is perhaps the only bad part of the g2 till now

I will go ahead and push the latest changes and post link. Also I am fairly new to the G2 scene and just how fractured the source code is for it. I would love to take a look at this if its simple enough to add in. I am not against trying though. If you could, remind me when I open up the main thrad in the next few days. I am heading to the beach with my wife and son so will not be able to do much in the next 2 days but when I get back and I get some good word about the builds, I will open the thread and kick in to overdrive.

Weird, I am pretty certain I build to LGD variant. Sorry brother. Try using Savoca's panel changer that you flash after the kernel. I even used Savoca's build script so not sure what the problem is but I am pretty sure that it's not a SoD problem you are having but a panel issue.
Now who want can porto a stable version for nexus5, but this post, is not to brake developers balls, but because i want to know if the problem to port is in the kernel.

Still trying to understand this. All these phones are getting ports but there are people saying we need a whole new kernel. Yet the bigger devs are supposedly already working on a port?
Jackpotclalvin got lollipop to boot on the Verizon g2! No ROM yet, but eventually its gonna happen. Be sure to thank him for his hard work too!

Yeah I don't know either, wish a Dev could explain this to me... The Optimum G has a mostly functioning Lollipop ROM according to a post I saw on G+ yesterday... Why would it be harder to build for us? Especially since so much of our hardware is similar to the Nexus 5...

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).

Is there any sort of resource to kind of get an idea of what all of the different CM12 based ROMs offer?
I do not like flashing on this phone, it seems really fussy, so trying to do some homework before I choose.
Best thing to do would be to traverse all the 5.0 threads and just browse them for the features, bugs, etc.

Also, if you check the T-Mobile g3 sub-forum, there are threads for most if the Roms to give you an idea. But, yes, I agree, it would be nice to have some dedicated threads. That said, I'm certainly not complaining. Pump ac7ion is doing great AOSP stuff here, as are others.
