I've been waiting for Google to release the phone and it has finally happened. Once Google releases the code will this improve the stock ROMs put out by the developer community? Will it even be used to build those ROMs?
I'm not a developer so I was wondering if it would happen. Thanks guys!

Yes it will happend I think we need is a port of the google s4 edition firmware and we're good

There is already a ROM for the T-Mobile one that someone made from the system dump. So I'm assuming that we should get a ROM very soon
Awesome that's good news, I heard the lag is significantly decreased on stock, can't wait!

Don't post here very much because I've been mostly on an iPhone the past year, but just got my S4 today, and im super juiced to see a rom develop from the Google Editions! Hopefully the stuff that doesnt work on the aosp roms will be functional.
There was a thread on someone testing this ROM. Now I can't find it, does anyone know where it is?

Any clue what happened to nito's build? I thought he said he was going to post something yesterday or the day before with the fixed signal bars. Then the thread got deleted for some reason?? Now nothing.

One person over there asked whether it is 4.3 but no one answered that. Not sure if it is just the 4.2.2

Hi,
intresting, I have heard that Google Jelly bean 4.3 is here with S4 google edition, it is specifically aimed only at developers and is only with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition (GT-I9505G) compatible
Unless someone did something special within the last few hours 4.3 is not working for vzw currently.
And cannot be rooted currently.

I was doing some reading and came across this interesting article. I hope our devs can UN dm-verify our stock kernel.
It may make rooting future devices much more difficult. I wonder what bug crawled up Google's butt.

There always seems to be work around on every new version but this looks like bad news. Read the whole thing. Scary stuff for locked bootloaders.

So do we get the pitchforks out and commence advance on LGs social media, etc? To get them to churn out an official build, of course.
It's a great phone and I bought it knowing they might not be quick on the draw. Didn't consider that 4.4 might make all these ROMs all for naught. Still, I needed a faster phone and this certainly fits the bill!
At same time I did know that short of a GSM Nexus that I couldn't have guarantee of latest Android.
I'm stuck on Verizon until March 2013. I can then slap a GSM Sim in, hopefully. But I paid retail so it's not like I want to buy a new phone anytime soon.
Well. I have myself to blame. Again. But I am off contract in March and this will never happen to me again!

I am hopeful that when 4.4 comes out our devs will be able find a way for us to upgrade from 4.2 to a custom rooted 4.4 with out any issues. I do think that even stock unrooted this phone is fantastic it is carrier iq that is killing me. I'm sure att will put it in 4.4 also. Even though it was the carriers idea LG allows it to happen so I blame them also.

Are all G2s bootloader locked? Including the international D802? Or only the carrier branded ones?

LG to my knowledge locks the bootloader on all its devices regardless of carrier.
This is troubling. The reason I chose the G2 was because it was the closest thing to the Nexus 5 on Verizon and had good developer support. Hopefully our fantastic developers will figure out a solution.
From what I understand, unless we upgrade to the official 4.4 LG ROM, there is no chance of this happening. Is that correct ?
I guess I'm selling the g2 for the nexus 5

That's my take on it. It is built into the 4.4 kernel. I wonder if this had anything to do with Google buying Motorola in August. Lock the phones way down for the carriers.

If there will not be a 4.4 rom within 3 months guess it is a dirty shot for those who bought it and want to buy it like me
Looks like I'll be rolling with Nexus devices from now on. I guess it was bound to happen though, I'm sure OEM's wanted another security layer because of bootloader work a rounds. On the upside though, there will be less threads on device release days asking for root and ROM ETA's!

the funny thing even though android are opensource, the phones and hardware are not. Thats where improvement is. If you create an abstraction layer, where due to propriatary stuff its closed and updateable by vendor. Another layer, the OS can go on top, thusly eliminating hardware dependancy as well as increasing updatability. OS and security issues can then more easily be adressed, without the now unduable vendor involvement needed in integrating the new OS with all the hardware specifics. Given the entropy rate of new phones coming out, its undoable. This last, as wel as commercial reasons is why updates and fixes for security holes dont come fast. As of yet.
Right now we see the true devs juggling various devices as the rate of entropy in new devices is higher then more true devs coming in. Devices not even picket up by community cause there are no devs for it. The breaking point has come.
A new design must be made for this momentum, a new standard

The bootloader may be locked, but since custom recovery is available our kernel can be modified...so we should be okay...right?

right. as long as you can flash custom kernels all this stuff should not be a problem.
it's about time to build some kitkat
KitKat has been out for like 5 days. Let's give the developers some time before everyone starts freaking out for no reason. They always find a way.

I think people who are already rooted will be ok , they will just need to avoid the official 4.4 until a custom rom is built. The bigger problem will be for new unrooted owners. I would imagine it being tricky to flash a custom kernel without the ability to root. I also agree in time the devs will figure something out.

I just uninstalled recovery and was about to unroot and return to store, you guys gave me the slap in face I needed. Going to keep my badass phone now, thanks, drinks on me.
"Confirmed by LG."
I wonder if and when the At&t variant will get the update.

That link had a link to their Source, but the source didn't say where they got it from, unless I missed it. I can just as easily say LG confirmed we don't get an update but if you don't have source you don't have proof until you see what actually happens

SFR said that LG confirmed the update. Either way, this is pretty great news. Let's hope it makes it's way to the AT&T variant
I dont care if the carrier releases it(it would be nice tho) just as long as an official LG optimus G rom is out there I will put it on my phone. I just love the LG UI. I am using a cm11 which is pretty good
Actually, E970 should get Kit Kat earlier than the other variants
LG has already updated the User Agent Profile on its official website:
Old http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M6-D1.xml
New http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M10-D1-KK.xml
G Pro now has a similar profile and it has been updated recently:
http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E980-M10-D1-KK.xml
You can try to put different numbers instead of "970" and check corresponding UAPs

Basically, these links detail backend support details about the system for the official E970 KitKat ROM. It doesn't really contain anything particularly useful per se, but the fact that it exists shows that official KitKat Does exist for the E970.

This is awesome. I sure hope AT&T delivers on this one.
Yeah, I don't expect this at all, with how bad LG is with updating their phones, plus AT&T pushing an update out on a phone this old. I really hope they do, but I have no hope they will.
Still no news about the update for e970. :/
But the official kitkat port is really smooth and stable. I'm grateful that we have such awesome developers working for our device.
im having trouble with messaging threads on Paulicat's but other than that and wifi shutting off every once and a while the rom is better than an lg/att release of it. Their release would have too much bloatware.

I had to send my v10 to LG for warranty repair. When I got it back in the mail it had been updated to latest mm 6.0. I got the bootloader unlocked using root methods posted but can't get twrp to flash using standard adb. Is there any possible way to root on this software version?? If not I'm gonna have to get another phone can't stand no root. Screenshot attached shows my software version. Thanks.
There is currently no method to root on the official 6.0 update. Unfortunately there is also no way to rollback to LP.
You're stuck with a lot of other good people who are waiting and hoping for someone to get this figured out hopefully soon... Including those with the tmobile version of the G5.
The general idea and hope seems to be that the method will be the same for both and it will be found/released soon!

Last I heard they were going to release to public on the 15th. Not sure if that was May. Keep your fingers crossed
