Since the main CloudyG3 thread is for devs only or something.
For those wanting to try it out and you use the D800, I just wanted to say that I have no issues at all, and I mean none as far as normal phone function, now if some particular app does not work or if when pushing on screen with your elbow while drinking water I can not comment on. Battery seems great so far too, it is pretty cool that we get to have G3 stuff on our G2. Have not played with the smart tips stuff much, but split screen worked.
Only bug is I do not have a QHD screen, hopefully CloudyFa can fix that in next release, lol, I know that's not a bug, calm down.
Ok so im looking to buy a secondary phone to my S5 and im very interested in getting a G2 back (this will be my 5th G2) because of the new Optimus UI. So is this cloudyG3 rom awesome? What do u guys think of the new Optimus UI? Are you guys planning in getting the G3 now or it isnt worth it? Thanks in advance. Im looking to buy it tomorrow probably so your answers would be much appreciated

Coming from a HTC one and nexus lines this LG is my first and I must say it has given me a different learning cure thats for sure, I have bricked this g2 a few times "in the early days of owning" This gave me a bit of a challenge but that's what we all like right ?. But one thing is for sure it's a great phone for a small price. Buy one sure you won't be disappointed!
I'm tempted to get the G2 now instead of the G3 as I found the size of G2 to be perfect and I prefer the display.
Heard the FM Radio doesn't work and the photo quality isn't very good as the app is meant for the G3 camera. But it's a fantasic that it works so well so soon. Hopefully can load G2 camera app.

There are a couple of camera mods in the G3 dev section. I know that at least one of them has a version for G2 running a G3 port.

I am loving this rom, I can not see flashing anymore unless new version of this G3 is released. Battery is insanely good.

I am under the impression that only two versions of the G2 have functional FM radio out of box, I know my At&t D800 does not have the chip needed for this function.

I'll be buying the D802 International version which has FM radio, sim-free only S$530 (~US$424) here in Singapore. The G3 is S$770 (~US$616) which is actually quite tempting but I feel that comfort is more important than latest specs. The G2, for me, is just much easier to use single-handed. Really dislike the glossy plastic back cover though.
Looking forward to flashing this ROM straight away!
I love the g3 port but i havent been able to change any of my data settings mainly my roaming settings on my ls980. Do you guys have the same issue on other variants?
Just as the title says .. Also how is the hifi dac and front cameras ?

Is the hifi dac actually that much more noticeable ? Does it have a lot of bass? And does Lg have a equalizer for the hifi mode ? Thanks ! I had a s6 edge plus and didn't like that so tried a iPhone 6s Plus and I'm getting bored of it now , not sure if I should get the v10 now or wait for 2016 phones
Maybe wait a bit. Mwc is coming up
As much as I hate to say it, I traded in my T-Mobile V10 for something else today. I really did try to like it, but it was problem after problem. I feel like LG really should have thought things through before releasing it.

Y'all may hate me for it, but I ended up with an iphone 6s
I went back and got a s6 active and v10 listed 300 locally....
My boyfriend has one of those and really likes it. I wish you the best with it!
I love it so far. What's even better is the "your v10 isn't even worth 250" lmfao

Hello guys! I was thinking on buying a new device. Currently I have Galaxy S6, but before this device I always had LG phones(LG G2, G3). I didn't like G4 mostly because of lack of fingerprint sensor silly reason but I use it alot. So now I was thinking on buying LG G5 or LG V10. I don't think I will use the modulars in LG G5(except maybe I will get an extra battery). So which one do you suggest for me?(you can make other suggestions also) Thank you in advance

Honestly, if you like custom ROMs at all, I would vote no on both LG phones.
I would rather be running CM versus a stock ROM + Xposed. Xposed just seems to have too many issues where apps or tweaks stop working.
I previously had a V10, then via a warranty exchange, they gave me a G5. I accepted the G5 since I decided the V10 was just too big and bulky and the G5 was newer.
Comparing the two, I prefer my G5 over the V10 still. I do feel like the G5 is much more fragile. It is just more plastic-y versus my steel-railed V10. Additionally, the latest software on the G5 is much more feature-filled and polished versus the V10. Don't quite understand why the V10 doesn't have a very similar build of MM, but w/e.
Alternatives? Maybe wait until Oct 4th so we can get a look at Google's phone?
I am probably a bad person for suggestions as it seems like no phone can meet proper standards for me... Now if say the S7 was built by HTC, unlocked, water-resistant, nice 5.1" size... Maybe I would have a new phone myself!

Well, I guess I am a believer that all high-end device cameras are pretty darn good now; Isn't much of a noticeable difference between most of them.
Looking at some lengthy comparisons- http://www.androidcentral.com/camera-showdown-s7-vs-6s-vs-6p-vs-950, looks like it is kind of a toss-up.
What I can't speak for is how fast it is... When comparing my last few phones, Nexus 5 vs V10 vs G5; I would say the order is G5, N5, V10. For whatever reason, from launch to snap took FOREVER on my V10. I LOVE how fast the G5 is, I can take a photo in like 2 seconds, which is a big advantage to me.

It's much more likely to get fully working CM on a Qualcomm device like the G5 than on an Exynos device like the SGS6 or SGS7.
The Nexus 6p is outdated, I wouldn't buy a Snapdragon 810 device now.
The G5 is lightning-fast and has a very good camera. Also the battery runtime is good IMO. With CM or AOSP it would be a tremendous smartphone, let's see if the camera issue will be solved.
But however you decide, you have to buy what you like most.

Sorry for asking all these questions : but is there any development going on on AOSP ROMS for G5? If so what variant should I get?
Depends on you. If you like stock. G5 is a great buy. I don't mind if the H860 has no custom ROM for now as long as the stock official ROM is stable and usable and runs great. To be honest the stock ROM is great. Battery is good, performance is good and everything else. I'm happy that I bought G5. A big leap from my LG G2. Camera, gaming, video and the like are great. Custom ROM's are optional and depends on the user. I do like custom ROM but I'm satisfied with my current state of my G5. :victory:
If it's not too expensive I would go for the LG V20. I am happy with my G5, but I have an european H850 with unlocked bootloader and for a great price
Look into the V20 if you don't mind a larger phone
The phone hardware is amazing but it doesn't have many roms on the software side. I would still get it if I were you. I've had big problems with the Cam+ module I got as a preorder. 3rd one works fine though.
Honestly if you are going to get the LG G5. Get the V20 instead.

I can get a used one, or bad esn from US(which are very cheap) and unlock it(because I currently live in europe)
I really like it. It took some time getting used to it but I got it on prime day really cheap, so cheap in fact that once I sell it in 2 years I probably will not have lost any money
Battery life is good the cameras are awesome and it is really fast. If you can get a good deal on it, go for it
Hi everyone, as we all know the LG G6 is out and will soon be available to buy. So here in this thread you can talk about anything: Expectations,advices, battery life, user experience...etc. Enjoy :good:
Great. Who's getting one first? lol

LG never had this kind of issues, but it had the bootloop issue for example which is way less serious/dangerous

I am interested in the G6. I think the pricing is going to be a lot more than last years G5 potentially. I am a bit miffed that the UK model won't get wireless charging or the Hi-Fi Dac and only comes in 32gb base storage.
Yeah hi-fi would do it for me. Gui looks decent but need to see it in action.

No so. I have a Verizon LG G2 with wireless charging built in and non removable battery. LG's done this before. Best phone I ever had.

Yes. G2 actually is/was one of the best phone I had. And it still has many support here in xda.
I recently bought lg V20 and I feel there is no much difference between g6 and v20. Unless someone can show me otherwise. I think I'll probably wait for v30 or g7.
The new SD 385 really seems tempting, and those battery and performance improvements would really help a lot as I am a power user.

I stand corrected. However, batteries have gotten way more volatile in the last couple years. I don't think it's gonna be an issue with that heat pipe tho. Still, root is needed for sure.

LG phones never had problems with root and similar stuff hope the G6 wont be an exception
I will not buy one for the same reason I did not buy G5 - they removed everything that made G4 stand out:
-curved screen
-volume buttons on the back (seriously, this alone is enough for me not to buy the phone)
-app drawer (please don't say that there are launchers - launchers suck bad and slow down the phone)
-bigger screen (G5 had smaller display, while the size of the phone was pretty much the same as G4)
-I can now add - removable battery
It was always amazing to me how big companies like LG remove features from their devices, then wonder why people do not buy the new version. My G4 works flawlessly and I do not think that the bump in cpu power has any real use for me. So no, thank you. G6 will be a flop.
So when the big launch date? March 10th???

That's the big question! FCC has had a look, I think:

So maybe sometime soon we'll get an announcement.
I decided to get a mint black HTC 10 from swappa, sooo much smaller and everything else is just as great. miss HDR+ but love everything about it. thanks for all your help everyone!
ORIGINAL POST BELOW
So I love my 6P, battery life if not so great but I absolutely love the camera! as do most friends and family always saying my pics look amazing!
Anyway, I really hate having a large brick (nexus 6p) in my pocket. I thought in time I would adjust but it's been over a year and I still dislike how large it is -__- so question is simple.... what phone 5 inch ish would you switch too? as far as camera's go, right now I think Moto G5 Plus is the closest thing (with wide pixels 1.4um) but it seems the phone is kinda big also.
Fire away and help a brother out with phone recommendations! Thanks!
I've had my eyes on OnePlus, but I'm waiting for the 5.

I don't think I could go back to a screen any smaller than 5.5 inches now. It can be unwieldy for sure, so I get that it isn't for everyone. I did love my s6 edge size wise though, and that was only 5.1 inches.

Well every single review says otherwise, and as someone who takes a lot of photos in different conditions, even my s6 edge blew it out of the water. You can subjectively feel how you want, but you're factually wrong.

if u can afford a google pixel then go ahead if not i advice with the Nexus 5x, it has a wonderful camera especially with the HDR+ . but if u want a bigger size then go for the Oneplus 3T. but staying in google phones would be better to keep having the latest software updates.
