I'm looking for a good setup for the LG G Watch. Which good Rom and/or Kernal should I use?
No custom roms, so just root, install TWRP, and use Invisiblek kernel.

Dear friends,
It looks like we lost few great dev so far, and face a lot of abandoned rom. Since then, i would try to use one custom ROM for my daily driver, and to use it a long time (since i would go abroad and will not flashing the device on abroad). Which custom ROM is most stable for daily use, and no need to update baseband (because i found it so hard to update). Thanks friends..

Hello.
I'm using currently Rammars Paranoid 4.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/rom-paranoidandroid-4-6-t2933958 , been using it for daily use(mostly twitter, whatsapp and instagram), no problem with that, pretty smooth fast, i suggest using Nova launcher, and if you like eye candy, get the Androidl theme from playstore, as far as you keep away from gaming, and really heavy apps, it is stable. No kernel panics, no unexpected shutdowns/reboots. All great. But the onlydownside, surprinsgly the best battery life i stumbled upon was for rammars lollipop, 5.3.2 the most stable to be exact.
Still, i`m right now about to restore CWM backup of a nandroid (v20h) to be back on stock, becaue, honestly, there won't be a more stable ROM than stock.
If you still have a stock rom installed, updating rom and baseband won't be difficult, if OTA or the LG Flash Tool won't give you anything newer than v20h(like in Europe) you need the appropiate KDZ file.
With a custom rom, seemingly the LG drivers and tools no longer recognize the phone, and getting back to stock or updating bb gets a bit complicated. I wrote down my sad story in Artas' thread, an finally I even succeeded, it's all there.

Sorry for offtopic, but getting back to stock is pretty easy if u use NANDROID, but if you want a full wiple, like the way you bought it, no CWM no nothing, KDZ flashing does the trick.
I'm sorry, didn't notice the baseband thing, on what baseband are you at?
hi i'm used 4.4.4. artas and think it's the better i have a p768
Quick background: I'm a new LG G3 owner and I've been rooting and ROMing with three previous phones going back to the OG Droid but only by following the awesome work of developers. I'm currently on the 12b build which is what the phone came with and I've rooted and installed a custom recovery.
At some point I'll try a LP Rom but I'm not quite ready yet. I was wondering if I should go ahead and flash the 23c modem and kernel now while I'm still on KK. Would that cause an issue? If that would be an issue, when would I flash those in the upgrade process?
As a side note, does anyone have a recommendation as to which LP ROM is most stable? I like customization (which the LG UI doesn't have enough of), but I value full functioning and stability more.
Thanks in advance for any help and I apologize if this info is already posted; I've been searching and reading for hours
You can't use the 23C kernel or modem on 12B.
ROMs usually include kernels so when you flash a ROM, it'll include whatever kernel's needed. I could be wrong but I think the stock LG Lollipop ROMs that have been released include the modem, too.
If they don't, flash the modem after you flash a 23C ROM.
As far as what Lollipop ROM is most stable, that's personal preference. I use my own modified Odex'd.

Hello, I am asking a couple questions today, as I cannot find all of the answers, and I have been looking for a while.
I just now rooted my Verizon G3, which has been updated to Lollipop, Software version VS98523C.
My first question is what recoveries are available, and how to install them? I would love a custom recovery to start regular backups, and install a custom Rom, which leads me to my next question, Which custom roms are there and what do you recommend installing on this device? I remember lving slimrom on my G2, until sprint ruined my phone, I have loved pac-rom on many tablets, I loved Cyanogenmod on my Samsung galaxy S2, and I am not sure which rom to use for the G3.
My final question, is what root apps are worth installing on the device? Which root apps are a must have? Any recommendations.
Thank you all for your help!
I believe you need to roll back to 10b. In other words, search xda for the tot or kdz method of returning to stock. Them you can install recoveries, root, etc. As far as I know you cannot install a bumped recovery from 23c
This program reportedly works to install TWRP on rooted lollipop: autorec
Note: I have not tried this method as I have not had the need to try it.

If you're looking for some good stock-based ROMs, you really need to check out @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon and @hsbadr 's Jasmine. I've been running SkyDragon for about a month now and have zero complaints and the performance and battery life are exceptional. If you like customizing, SkyDragon gives you the option to install the Xposed framework which allows for numerous tweaks and customizations.
As for the applications that I have found to be useful, you can't go wrong with any of the following which I use on my daily driver:
Xposed Modules;
G3 TweaksBox (a must-have)
Xposed Torch
YouTube AdAway
Root Apps;
App Ops
BusyBox Pro
Solid Explorer
SuperSU Pro
Titanium Backup Pro
LG Volume Booster
XCam LG (Pro)
After you install TWRP, keep a backup on your SD card and you've got nothing to worry about.
I would like to try out new custom roms (I'm currently on stock rom zv4 rooted)
1) Does the LG G3 quick circle work on all custom roms? Or just specific stock based roms? I am very dependent on the quick circle. Also if quick circle does work on custom roms, is it a much faster than stock rom? On stock rom quick circle feels kind of slow.
2) I'm currently on KitKat & would like to update to LolliPop which is why I want to try out a new custom Rom? Does Xposed work as good as it does on KitKat or are there things I should be aware.
3) Stupid Question, what is the difference between Sprint LG G3 Android Development & Sprint G3 Original Android Development?
4) Is it best to update to ZVA via phone provider, then root, bump, then custom rom? Or continue from where I am currently on zv4 root, bump, then custom rom? Will I need to flash zva modem if i stay on zv4?

As far as I know there is a quick circle app for AOSP roms, not sure how far along it is. Not too sure about Xposed, never use it. Difference between original and android development is original is a rom that is built without using other developers work, like CyanogenMod. Android development is roms made using parts of 1 or more roms with their permission, making them not original. Zv4 is easiest to root and then add bumped TWRP recovery. After I had zv4, I flashed engine95's stock zva without loosing root or rrecovery.

I went with non bumped twrp because HTC and dumlock issues... After I got recovery installed I backup and went to wipe factory reset instead I accidentally wiped internal storage and lost my backup and the CM ROM I was about to flash... So my phone was soft bricked but it is back up. If bumped is like HTC dumblock I may not have been so lucky getting my phone back up CM12.1 is only 340mb and stock lg ROM was 2gb and I have crappy internet. So if your looking for a good ROM CM is amazing to so far...

Hello L9 Community!
My old man has the L9 for a while now and it crashed lately (it gives a security error at boot).
So I decided to unlock the bootloader and then flash a new rom on it.
But before I get to that I need to know what the best ROM is. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM, I don't need lots of fancy costumalization options. Just something fast and stable.
Are there also things I need to know about this device before I start? Because I remember from my G2 and G3 that it was different than flashing a OnePlus device.
Thanks for helping me out!
I use cyanogenmod 11. It's stable and it has some useful tweaks. You have to unlock your bootloader first, than flash a specific twrp from cyanogen post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547442
I hope this helped you
