[Q] Future rom support - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would like to ask about your opinion on future roms for LG G2. Now there is almost not choice to change rom to aokp, cm, or else. How will it be in future? Is possible to stuck just with lg rom?
What about battery on custom rom, for example note II has better battery life with stock/custom TW rom than pure android or cm or aokp. Is it with every manufacture that, stock "bloated" rom has better battery life?

There's a CM Rom in the works

StarFighter has said he will be porting over several roms soon, and I think I saw the CM for the G2 had become an official build.
I can honestly say I am really happy with the stock ROM experience. I was someone who was looking at the N5, but I am so glad I went with the G2. I would go as far as saying its the best phone i have ever owned.

I am also enjoying the stock ROM with xposed framework mods. I would venture to say that once the nexus 5 hits and the rumors are true, that there will be plenty of Roms and kernels to choose from. From what I understand from the kernel side is that Qualcomm can be kind of a PITA because they don't like putting out their binaries. But as far as Roms go I tend to enjoy just using xposed to make the changes I want due to the stock ROM being as good as it is.

Which ROM is being used widely ?

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.
Using my own custom sammy rom . I like to put my own touch to them lol. CM7 is ok but i find anything AOSP roms have flaws but props to the devs.

To be fair, stock would be the most used rom.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.

You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.
WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

Best rom guidance

Ok right now I'm using the matrix rom, and is real good on my t-mobile nexus s. The thing is that I know is pretty old and I kbow there are several newer more stable roms out there but wich one ia the best of all? I'm looking for the fastest but not just that but stable if that's not available what would be the fastest and still be super steady and bug free.

Try a few! I tell EVERYONE who asks this question the same thing...
THERE IS **NO** BEST ROM (OR KERNEL)
Different phones behave differently with roms/kernels. Make a nandroid, flash something, and use it for a few days/weeks. Don't like it? Flash something else! Obviously you probably want to start with the jelly bean based roms and go from there. Look at the comments in the threads and base your opinion on what you want to try from what other people have said.
Hope that helps.
Back in the day I tried several infinity and don't remember others they were not stable as matrix is. I tried one of the first ics custom rom don't remember which ones and it was very unreliable. Was it because it was pretty new or all ics roms suck and is better to stay with gingerbread custom roms?

ICS ROMS run great... I was using CM9 up until yesterday when I switched to CM10. Very smooth and good battery even with the stock kernel (referring to CM9)
Closed, no such thing as a "Best" rom.

Stock rom VS custom rom?

guys which do you think is better stock rom or custom rom? I think custom roms like cyanogenmod performs better than stock and have much more features!
Stock=4.1 very good.4.2=Networks error,random reboots.

Csto custom RMS are everything great about stock, customized to your own needs and tastes
Frankly, its totally subjective. Some swear by stock, and some by custom roms. Then, others by only specific custom roms. The only real right answer is the one you decide for yourself after experimentation. So, start the journey, and enjoy. Youll know what you prefer in no time! Have fun!

I totally agree with this.
Personally I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod. Just straight Cyanogenmod for me but others swear by CM derivatives like Parandoid Android.
I say try some different roms out and see how they work for you. I did this and found myself going back to Cyanogenmod. Now I actually purchase android devices based on whether or not they can run it.
I like CM10.1 so much that I've learned to build it myself and make my own nightlies

Why do you prefer CM?
Stock 4.2 works perfectly fine for me, + franco kernel.

I'm rooted but otherwise run stock. I like it. The vanilla Android is why I flashed custom Roms on my old Droid Inc 2 (because I HATED the Sense UI). And I get that vanilla style with stock.

Should I put CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4?

Hi, I'm new to the rooting/android community and I'm wondering if it is worth it to try out CyanogenMod... What are the pros and con's?
Thanks

More features. Possible* better battery.. There is so much and there's more than CM to try out

Yes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yeah, there are more features and probably better performance/battery. You could start out with the RC5 build since it is the most stable and updated build but generally the nightly builds are pretty stable with minor bugs too. Personally, I prefer AOSPA since it has very innovative features that make my phone that much more unique :]
If you don't like it you can flash another Rom or go back to stock. You'll probably end up trying different roms and finding out what you like.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
sure man. couldnt hurt to learn a bit about your phone in the process as well
just dont be stuck with cm. its not the only stable rom, and it is definitely not the most stable so dont worry about having to just play it safe with cm.
Try PACman Rom, has Cyanogenmod, AOKP and Paranoid Android, the top 3 roms in my opinion. this way you can see all the features and then flash the rom you like the most or stick to it...whatever floats your boat
Yes

if you are satisfied with stock then No , if you feel some features that you would use are missing then go for it.
as for battery life, from my own experience, stock was the best option for me so far.
Use Carbon instead. Has the features CM has but a lot more. Nav width/height adjustment is a must for me. CM doesnt have that and wont put it in.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid or CyanogenMod?

Which ROM overall do you prefer? CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android? I'm currently running cm-10.2-20131129-NIGHTLY-d800.zip on my LG G2 which is 4.3 but Paranoid has pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131123B-d800.zip AOSPA 4.0+ PARANOID ANDROID Kitkat 4.4 KRT16S android-4.4_r1.2 out now. Which of the 2 ROM teams have been better in the long run for people?

I am also looking forward to hearing about this. As far as I know CM still does not have a stable rom for LG, they are all nightlies or release candidates for G2.

To be honest they both have their pluses and minuses, I would try both and decide which you prefer. Each person will like or dislike a Rom for their own reasons, so why not just find out which you prefer by using both, instead of someone else telling you which to use. At worse, it is a couple hours of your time on each before you should be able to figure which works best for you.

While I agree that it us a personal choice in most cases, in this case OP is also looking for feedback on technical information and facts such as bugs, working vs not working features, and overall operability of that specific rom.
One might be best for someone in terms of a specific feature but if it has battery drain problem or if camera is upside down, for example, it won't mean much, and we shouldn't expect him to waste his time finding out about these things just so he can make his own decision.

That is the continued issue with both, they both have issues as mentioned. Neither has released a Stable version as of yet. I would suggest reading both forums on each Rom and they are detailed on the bugs and some methods of resolving them and pick one you can deal with on a daily basis till they are worked out.
The verizon g2 has an unofficial cm11 build which has everything working. I ran it for a few days and didn't encounter any bad issues. Some people reported random reboots but where very minimal and I didn't get any. Google wallet worked fine. I haven't tried PA because I haven't seen one for Verizon's g2 so I can't comment on that.

I like both. Depends on what you want. CM will be leaner and probably more stable. PA will have more features but buggier.

I'll wait for CM11 if Paranoid just makes and leave they're ROM's buggy
Both devs work hard to squash any bugs. Like said neither have a stable release yet. So bugs are present in both.
Personally I use stock with Xposed. Xposed gives you tons of tweaks and options normally found in custom roms. The stock rom has plenty of useful additions too.
If and when I flash, I'll be using AOKP.

Is there any stable rom at all for G2?
Sent from my LG-D800
I have tried both, but I don't really miss too many of the features from CM. (I used to run CM 10.2) One thing i can say for sure I love about ParanoidAndroid, is that they have removed the annoying noise cancellation, that has been there in any other rom i have tested. Now when i record video i do not get any annoying watery sounds. Brilliant! But if a modder makes a mod that will disable the noise cancelling microphone and it will be compatible with any rom, then I would probably lean more towards CM.
Try them both out!
P.A.C.-man ROM combines PA, AOKP and CM.
Any additional feedback a few months later?
