Is this possible? I was thinking since the Optimus G is based on the same hardware, a ported rom might be possible. Any thoughts?
The question is: why? If you wanted that you could've just got an Optimus G

Not everyone has $600 to spend on a smart phone. If you can't answer the question, please don't respond. I'm simply asking just out of curiosity.

Nexus 4 is the same hardware with some variants of Optimus G, so it would be possible.
But software wise, LG Optimus G is still in 4.0.4, and people over there are actually porting Nexus 4 CM to Optimus G.
Porting LG Optimus G stock to Nexus 4 would mean having to settle with 4.0.4, not quite ideal. Making LG UI to work with 4.2.1 would be a major pain.
So... I think possible, but not likely that some devs will work on that (nor it should be done, people are more happy with AOSP/AOKP)

Optimus G is a lot more expensive. And having choices is good for every one. I do agree that AOSP is better, but I also believe in personal liberty.
Of course its possible, but I all depends on the dev if they want to try that project they will and they will share it. Most devs for nexus devices base there ROMs off aosp/stock android so don't expect it right away
Edit:safariking was working on this sort of thing you can contact him if you have a question http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015046&highlight=touchwiz. If you look at the comments he said he will make an lg ui.
I simply asked "why" because even if its possible, without a good reason no dev will work on it!

Well, I meant after LG released at least a 4.1 update. I wouldn't want to be stuck on ICS either.

The Optimus UI has some nice features that AOSP doesn't have. And it would just be a nice alternative to the 10+ AOSP/AOKP roms that will eventually be available.

my att Note 2 is broken. I know that Moto X will be a google phone and it is coming out soon. should I wait to just get the nexus 4?
N4 bro. Moto x seems to have specs downgraded compared to n4 but I think you should wait for the official announcement.

For now, the only specs "downgraded" seems to be the CPU (quad-core > dual-core).
Anyway, first let's see the presentation on the 1th of august
Since you're comparing with yet unreleased phones, you might as well include the nexus 5 with it's rumoured specs in the comparison..

There are no rumored specs for the N5. There are wishful specs. The Moto X has real specs that have been released by people using the phone and is coming out in a few weeks.

What is downgraded? The CPU tests seem to show some pretty amazing numbers considering what CPU it is using. The Moto X will also have LTE, a better camera, and better battery life. If they sell it for $300-$400, it will be hard to recommend the N4 anymore.

I believe the rumor is it's going to be undercutting the Nexus 4 at under $265 even... and even though it's a dualcore it apparently outperforms the N4's quadcore...
So yeah OP, I think the MotoX is probably the better choice. But let's wait for an official announcement before making rash decisions ;P

I've read this is a pretty custom CPU that is utilizing cores in a different way. Having more cores doesn't make it faster. Apparently the Moto X has chips that offload some of the processing power (like for voice). So I would expect the experience to be more smooth than the N4.

until there is an official announcement it's all rumors, be it nexus 5, moto x or whatever. Asking moto X or nexus 4 is a stupid question, you don't know how the phone performs, you don't know the exact hardware (forget the leaks and rumors here), you don't know what features and capabillities it will pack. all you know is those few things seen in that Rogers ad, the always listening google now and camera gesture. So, until the official announcement on August 1st, comparing an older phone (nexus 4 in this case) with rumors, leaks and what not devices is plain silly. Cheers
wait my friend, HTC one mAXX , Galaxy note 3, Galaxy s4 with snapdragon 800, lg optimus g2, sony xperia Z ultra.
patience
Yeah, I would wait just a few weeks to see the official specs on the Moto X before buying any phone, TBH.
Personally, I'm incredibly happy with my Nexus 4 and could care less about any other phone right now... Unless something comes out that is priced so low with insane specs... Then I'd get it as a backup phone and switch between it and my Nexus 4 whenever the mood strikes me but I'm not giving up my Nexus 4 just yet. I love the little thing!

We already know the Moto X has a better camera and LTE. In my mind, that is all I need to jump ship from the N4 considering it appears to be a mostly stock experience.

Hi prospective LG G2 owners,
Many LG customers and I had very bad experience with the LG Optimus 2X concern to updates and driver support. Since I am a big fan of AOSP, I would be very interested to know how it looks this time or will look like.
The LG G2 has a highly modified Android and I like the holo design.
The question is, if cyanogenmod supports the device, will it get less problems due to the snapdragon 800 and qualcomm driver support? What about the camera and its image stabilizer?
I know it's a speculative question, so please no **** storm
LG releases some sources: https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=G2 not sure how much these affect building AOSP though. Plus I have to believe Qualcomm is better at releasing drivers than Nvidia.

Good to see the AT&T version source code already up!
Considering that Nexus 5 will most probably be created based on G2, there should be less problems.
Just like how optimus g got stable releases of cm10.1 due to its hardware similarity with nexus 4, but still have some minor bugs.

The official CM release for OG is not based on the N4 kernel. But you have a point that N4 helped getting stuff rolling (bootloader unlock first of all)
Does anybody know if it is possible to flash Nexus 5 ROMs on the G2? I am considering them both but the G2 32 GB costs the same as Nexus 5 16 GB in Norway.

You can't just flash another device's ROM, it is specific to your model.
That being said, expect to see a stock KitKat ROM for the G2 fairly soon.
Strange that the Nexus is so expensive there, the G2 is a clearly superior phone from a hardware perspective, so I'd get the G2 for sure.

Its simple, the G2 is highly likely to get kitkat roms very soon. So no debate in my opinion unless you lrefer the design of the nexus.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
He is asking this because he likes hardware of G2 and UI of nexus, so even when G2 will get Kit Kat, it will still be skinned and nothing different.
The ideal thing is for LG to release optional Google edition Nexus Rom for G2
Second ideal thing is, someone port Nexus Kit Kat for G2.
But this time, i don't find any reason to root, or change rom around of my G2, if things Ok with my phone, i know by saying that i don't belong to here, but, changing ROM was fine for me when i had Xperia x10 Mini and i had to install Android Jelly bean on it. Why not? for look and feel? i prefer dark menu over white menu or settings for G2.
Nexus 5 Launcher is good for it, but is it better than Nova? when Nova can mimic Nexus 5 launcher by increasing icon size to 120%.

Just curious...why do you think this? I'm not saying the opposite, just I'm not aware of any evidence supporting what you say.
I also came from a GNex recently and I'm a bit let down by the slow/minimal development for this device. Even now, there are only a handful of 4.3 roms available, and these are mostly unofficial ports. Thankfully my beloved SlimBean is one of them and it works great on my d801.
However my only experience with a smartphone was the GNex and I guess it spoiled me re: dev activity. Do we simply need to wait for more 4.3 and 4.4 roms to come? When will the official releases arrive, like AOKP that has been rumored for quite a while now?
I was hoping that since the G2 was essentially a Nexus 5 that there would be portability between ROMs. I guess it's still early in the game and we should see what unfolds over the coming weeks.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/12/08/lg-v510-will-be-future-nexus-tablet-based-on-g-pad-8-3/
"The confirmation comes by way of evleaks, who said the LG V510 is indeed a Nexus device... (T)he device will feature an 8.3-inch 1920 x 1200 display, 2GB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera, 4600mAh battery and dimensions of 216.8 x 126.5 x 8.3mm."
I have to think this is happening, as evleaks is usually spot-on. That gives me a number of thoughts and questions:
This seems to be, hardware-wise, an exact copy of the G Pad 8.3. Other than the screen size, there isn't much difference with the Nexus 7. From what I've seen, the Snapdragon 600 is only a bit more powerful than the S4 Pro. So I have to think that Google won't price it much higher than the 7 ($229/$269). That virtually kills off the G Pad 8.3. *Edit: Never mind what I said about performance. The G Pad kills the Nexus 7 (http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g_pad_83-review-1004p5.php). But I still think the G Pad is in trouble. See below.
I have to wonder why LG would do this. I think that Google sells the Nexus devices at a minimal profit, just to serve the market and sell more Android devices. So LG won't be able to compete on price. Are they hoping that their software adds enough value to sustain demand for the G Pad 8.3? Even if they cut the price to $299 (which seems to be the way things are going), I think the Nexus brand will attract most buyers.
Does it matter to us what happens to sales of our device? If the hardware is the same, won't it be easy to port the new Nexus's software (including the kernel)? Doesn't that basically make the G Pad a Nexus?
The moniker "V510" may mean the new device is a step up from the G Pad. Might the new Nexus arrive sporting the Snapdragon 800? I know that there were rumors that the G Pad would be outfitted with it, and LG's public explanations for their decision were rather weak (It doesn't need it. It would make the device too hot.) This would certainly differentiate the new Nexus from the 7...
So should this news, if true, have us scared or elated?
GTabJosh GPadJosh
One thing it won't have is removable storage. That is one of the reasons I bought the GPad in the first pace, instead of a 2nd gen Nexus 7.
I read somewhere v510 will have LTE so basically it will be exactly like v500 except of this...
I think kernel and roms from this "nexus 8.3" will be compatible with our device thanks to some mod by our beloved devs
Inviato dal mio LG-V500 con Tapatalk 4
I think the rumors are true, but I still don't understand why LG would do this. Why come out with the G Pad 8.3 if Google is going to follow up with the same device? I would think that the Nexus would devastate sales of the G Pad.
I guess we are just a bunch of guinea pigs.
The question is: When will this be released?
Maybe another 6 months away for all we know, as there hasn't been any "official" announcement.
They prob gave the tab to Google as it may seem more lucrative for LG since the sales of the G Pad wasn't as good as they thought it would have been.
Look at it this way for LG:
Sell it by themselves = sell less, but earn higher profit margins
Sell it to Google = Sell More but earn less profit margins
Both ways still win, and profit wise I'd think the Google Avenue sounds a lot better.
Good thing is, if it goes to Google, then we will most likely see a lot more cases be released!
This could be a good thing for us. If they are making a G Pad with nexus software then we can easily port the roms over and have a fully functional nexus rom with no bugs. This could be very good news for us because we will have 4.4. Personally I don't see this happening but it would be cool.
Hope they don't make drastic changes in internal hardware, if this is true.
Somebody sent me the link to that service manual entry several weeks ago, but asked me to keep it quiet. The link is real, but it doesn't absolutely prove that it will turn out to be a Nexus 8.
Seems like a real possibility, though. I agree that it could mean that we will get some Nexus 8 roms that could be easily ported to the G Pad.
And it doesn't mean that we're guinea pigs. LG might have produced the G Pad before they sealed the deal with Google.
It might explain why their marketing in the US had between so lackluster, though
I'm guessing that might be a reason the Kit-Kat-update was announced, but no date was given. The Nexus 8 could get released at the end of Q1 2014 and announced in january. Nourmally me guess would be before or after the CES, but since the Nexus TV is expected to be announced at CES, the Nexus 8 could be an additional announcement. that's all just speculation, but it wouldn't surprise me. The IR blaster would be something I would miss, in addition to the microSD slot. I'm pretty sure Google would remove it, since they they don't need it in their eco-system, as long as the Nexus TV is not sporting IR.

Good points about the IR blaster and the sd slot. It could turn out that those of us with a G Pad will have the best of all worlds; G Pad hardware advantages with Nexus 8 firmware possibilities. Guess we might not get an LTE capability, but I won't miss that too much.
I read the news earlier today and I find them very positive for us pad owners. Entering the nexus ranks has three benefits: faster upgrades, longer support, attention of more developers.
I can't believe that the nexus 8 will be lte only. My guess is we are already holding something very close to the wifi n8. Minus sd, minus ir, minus 60€=n8.

Those of us who picked up the G Pad for ~$250 really made out like thieves. Assuming a Nexus device is launched based on the G Pad, I can't see it being priced that low. That's less than the 32gb Nexus 7. My only fear is that it will come with the Snapdragon 800 (or 805) to further differentiate it from the 7. I assume that means that kernels and ROMs will be less portable.

Still waiting on mine... Let us know how it goes for you!
I'm in the lucky $259 set, so there's no way this isn't a good deal. I feel that in the new year this will be a frequent discount for the G-Pad. As for the N8, all the more power to them, even if they upgrade the processor to an 800 (not unlikely at this stage, but equally likely they'll use the 600 to save money IMO) the devs ought to still have a great platform to ROM themselves silly.

Last I saw it is still listed on newegg for $279
And if this does become a Nexus 8 it would only help G Pad owners... As long as there are the same internals used
