Hey All,
I've tried about every LP AOSP Rom for the Verizon VS985 variant of the G3 and think I've narrowed down the culprit. First let me explain the issue. The Amazon Music App won't stream music, giving exception 181. I've chatted with amazon tech support and now here I am. It works fine with the stock ROM and Jasmine. It also works with Fusion 5.0 and Slim Alpha - I believe both of these to be Slip based. But for the life of me, I can't get it to work with any CM based ROM including but not limited to Illusion, Vanir, Fusion 5.1... more than I'd like to admit.
Anyone know how to fix this issue so I'm not so limited? I don't need many, just one good daily driver. After gong to AOSP, back to stock is so slow.
Thanks,
bagz

it's been a while since i updated my rom (or been on this forum) and am curious what works best. i am more concerned about everything being buttery smooth than having the latest and greatest from aokp or cm. however if one or the other of those is running well i'd love to do that. so yeah, what are you guys using these days and how is it treating you?

Bump.. I just picked up one of these and am interested in the answer to your question
Been using [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2 )Task650 (3.19.2013) (WIFI ONLY) for a day and everything works even my samsung keyboard dock. Really impressed with it, before that I had Task650 ICS Rom for the longest with everything running smoothly and no crashes. Netflix, Direct TV NFL ticket and others worked with no issues. I don't think you can get the Tasks650 ICS Rom anymore since he only supports his newest releases .

sounds pretty good. thanks for the info.
I've personally always enjoyed Infamous ICS, and the latest CM10.1 builds have been great. Try any of the recent ROMs and see which one fits you the best.
I've been experimenting with a few ROM's lately.
So far, imo, the best has been. CM10 (4.1.2) and Infamous ICS 3.0
Smooth and responsive all around. CM10 is Jelly Bean smooth but doesn't have the Samsung stuff....
Hey guys,
I've been running Cyanogenmod 10.something on my HTC One T-Mobile since I got it. I am blown away by the customization and the tweaks it has to offer but I've been coming across a lot of problems. Media messaging seems to be unstable, I get picture texts almost a couple days later after someone sends them. The battery also seems to be draining really fast (not sure if its just the HTC One or the CM itself). Despite being a pretty snappy ROM there still seems to be a lot of memory usage, ironically running a launcher with HTC Sense used 35% of memory on average while under CM its typically as high as 65% running the exact same apps and widgets.
Naturally I would like to switch to Google Play edition for the stability, it seems to be what the CM team were trying to emulate with more user control of course. I just want to know what kind of features I would be losing if I do so. Does anyone here have any insight on both ROMs?
Any advice/suggestions here would be very helpful. I haven't been able to find a thread that puts CM against GPE.
Thanks
I'd put my money in any CM custom ROM especially soon as they become more stable.
Couple of things to consider... T-Mobile may be pushing the 4.2.2 upgrade soon. Also, you could try this stock 4.2.2 International ROM here on XDA. I ran this same ROM on an AT&T HTC One with root, S-OFF. Absolutely bug free,
Sorry, I cannot address CM vs GPE,
-T
i would suggest viper rom as it has all the customization you would ever need but sense based. so you will not lose zoe and other sense features.
Here are some screenshots with the venom red theme and some other tweaks

Hi my name is Rob and I'm a flashaholic I have to admit with every new phone I get I probably flash every custom ROM made for it I'm not much for stock based roms but I got my lg g2 about a month ago and have flashed to try out just about every ROM built for it so far and I can't wait to see more kitkat ROMs
I pretty much like to flash the latest versions of android to just waiting on more kit kat ROMs
Over the past two days I've flashed 6 different ROMs but keep coming back to ose even though it's not that stable it has all the features I'm looking for
What about you
Figured I'd start a thread for fun let's hear your confessions
am afraid its a completely normal condition bought on by a very complicated organism designated lgg2 i'm afraid the prognosis is not good as the disease is very fast and progressive with episodes of high euphoria followed by intervals of extreme anxiousness- we can only hope that the research into this worrying condition will be continued
and that maybe in the distant future there may be a cure.
I myself find I've been able to avoid the flashaholism by knowing how I like my phone
I'm on pa currently awaiting cm to finish fixing the lte issues.
But I my self know I like a build of the latest cm, stripped down, debloated to it's bare minimum, with a good kernel, and a few tweaks

Hello, flashaholic here as well.
Love the g2, Flashed cm, PA rom, slimkat and others. Unfortunately I'm soft-bricked at the moment. Hoping to find a resolution.
However with that being said I love the flexibility and the customization.

I am in the same boat. Always looking to see if my circle or ROMS have updated versions. At this point I cannot go back to stock I think I like the latest 4.4.2 performance. Stock just feels slow to me though it's been a while. Maybe ill check out the Flex..
Using PA Houstonn's 4.4.2, Beanstalk 4.4.2, PacMan 4.3 nightlies, and 4.4.2 SlimKat weeklies.
Good luck with your addiction.

me too, this week i flash my first stock rom, and no good, aosp is way faster, if you think in test more there is carbom rom now!
I've always been a flashaholic. This is the first phone I've been completely satisfied with just root. I couldn't care less about flashing now, and its pretty sweet not having to set my accounts up and restore backups once a day.
Yes I like this subject since it reflects my internal war
I'm gonna copy a reply I wrote due days ago on similar topic to avoid writing the whole essay :
"My friend THIS is my biggest issue currently!
I'm gonna be THOROUGH so BEWARE 
I come from many phones history (see signature) where I always flashed PA or CM especially on touchwiz phones.
However on the G2, I liked stock at first and kept using it for around 2 months.
Then, having ORD decease (  see signature again) I kept my eye on PA and tried it on Christmas vacation. It caused me such a big confusion to the extent where I went between stock and PA like 5 times confused on which is BETTER and which I LIKE most.
Currently I returned 2 days ago to stock but still thinking about PA... 
Yes stock is nice with all features and stability, but I just HATE the nonconformity in design (even when using Xposed heavily to stabilize things and theme others).
-Also PA gave me such a smooth experience (much faster) with a lot more RAM and great simple looks. About RAM I greenified most system and installed apps that hogs RAM and still barely have about 500mb of free RAM while I have around 900mb on AOSP roms without any greenifying.
-Most importantly I had crazy battery life on PA while it's lower on stock even when nearly disabling every feature (except knock on of course).
-The thing that made me return to stock, believe it or not, was mainly camera (I know there's a mod for stock camera on AOSP but it's not that functional) and non-intrusive call notification which is a life saver when playing games. I tried "call heads", "call popout" from playstore but none worked nicely all the time.
Even when Omni gives that feature, I cannot install Halo (via Xhalo xposed module) on this ROM bcz it conflicts heavily with multiwindow feature in their rom which I cannot care less about it.
-I hate stock lockscreen and I love AOSP lockscreen.
-I hate AOSP camera and I like stock camera.
-I love AOSP calendar which options of colouring the events but hate its lack of features. I love stock calendar and its widget and snooze option while I hate its lack of colouring events feature.
-Although stock launcher is great it keeps redrawing (reloading) when quitting apps (heavy ones) which is annoying. AOSP laucher doesn't but lack features.
-Sound quality TILL NOW is better on stock.
-Immersive mode and the ability to always see notification bar even when in heavy games is awesome on AOSP.
-Quick memo is awesome for screenshots and editing on the run and sharing. I still couldn't find an app that does all that, that simple and quick on AOSP.
-Call voice recorder (G2 tweakbox) gives amazing sound and recording quality while call recorders on AOSP suck.
-NO FM radio on AOSP till now (maybe spirit fm will change that eventually).
Although most times I think that I don't need all those "useless" features on stock and that I need the quickness, smoothness of AOSP. I end up thinking that I did not pay 650$ (yes in my country) for a 32GB G2 to dump all those and run AOSP on it. If so, it would have been smarter ( and cheaper) if I kept my nexus 4 (or get a cheaper nexus 5 rather a G2). However I really like the feel and looks of AOSP. However  it's those small/silly/gimmick/nice cool features that stock ROM gives you that make you feel that you own a SMARTphone and not any simple phone. It's the fact that you know that they are THERE when you need them that makes you feel satisfied even when you really rarely use them.
As you can see, it's a REALLY very TOUGH decision which always makes me feel confused. One day I wanna use AOSP, the other stock.
I really hate that phone for that.  On samsung phones I really didn't give a thought about it.

damn found another rom
Well found another ROM that looks interesting downloading and flashing now beanstalk 4.4.2
Update: right now I'm torn between beanstalk and slimkat have them both on my phone and I keep switching back and fourth but I think beanstalk is winning so many customizations think in gonna stick with it for awhile
Well found my new ROM beanstalk ROM has just about everything you'll want
App Compatibility?
All those on AOSP ROMs, What about apps. I have read that most of the apps specially games don't work on AOSP on lg g2. You have that problem?
Curious what other folks like for AOSP KK on the LG G2. Specifically, I have the Verizon variant. I've tried CM11 - though not recently - and like everyone had the well documented freezes and reboots. Most recently, I've been running Mahdi-Rom 2.5 Beta 4 and it's been pretty solid with occasional lock ups most affecting my launch (TSF Shell). Anyways, what are you running and what do you like about it? How's speed, stability and battery?
We do not allow threads which compare ROMs as developers do not like seeing their work compared to that of others.Besides everyone has their own needs and what's best for one person may not be what's best for someone else.

Hi guys,
I have an old S3 i9300 I'm thinking of giving to my mother. She doesn't live locally and is pretty good with phones but certainly not close to being able flash nightlies/kernels/etc. She uses Chrome, WhatsApp and needs a fairly stable camera. She doesn't game or need high performance, stability is the most important thing. She's coming from a ropy old Huawei Y300 on 4.1.1 so even the AOSP camera on an S3 will present a significant upgrade over that!
I want to use an AOSP based ROM as when the phone was my daily driver it was far superior to Touchwiz. On balance, do you think it's better to flash a KitKat (CM11) or Lollipop (CM12.1) based ROM? I want to be able to flash a ROM and then it be stable enough for her to use for a while without any ROM updates. When the phone was my daily driver I was on SlimKat 9.0 Stable and was happy enough. My instinct is to go for SlimLP or JustArchi's unofficial CM12.1 final version as they have very few changes from AOSP.
What do people think? Or should I just sell the S3 and buy a Moto G? Haha
Stock rom. She has no need for root or custom roms.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Don't sell Try Official LiquidSmooth v3.2 KK rom with Boeffla kernel smooth & stable.

Thanks, but even when deodexed and slimmed down, for me Touchwiz is awful and stuck on 4.3 (not interested in the ported 4.4.4 TW ROMs).

If it's KitKat, I'd rather go SlimKat, but Boeffla is a good shout, I was on it when the phone was mine and it was very smooth and stable.
Can anybody verify any LP AOSP ROMs as stable and useful for a daily driver?
If you want a later 100% reliable kitkat or higher device then buy a new phone. The s3 i9300 was never designed to run kit kat and will crash due to out of memory issues all the time.
Sorry to burst your bubble but i ended up with this m9 for the very same reason and my mum has my old rooted s3. She hates it yet i cant be arsed backing it all up to set it back to stock so when her contract is up soon I'll get her a new device.

Wow, I can't believe how wrong you are. I ran SlimKat comfortably for a year on an S3 and by the final version 9 it was a MILLION TIMES better than anything Samsung came up with for the S3. Out of RAM? My Nook HD+ ran KitKat and currently runs Lollipop just fine and is never "out of memory". And the 1gb Moto Gs seemed to have handled both KitKat and Lollipop just fine. In fact, the Y300 is EASILY capable of running KitKat on just 512mb RAM. I'm closing this now, mainly because @shivadow clearly has no idea about Android at all and has p**sed all over my thread.
