Was wondering if anyone would be able to rip the Camera apk off of the 4.4 update that rolled out for the D800 today. The AOSP one is pretty awful quality wise and would love to the use the LG one (will work with ART unlike the other 4.2 one currently on xda now).
Hi Guys
I have been trying to figure out what the differences are between cloudy roms, Cloudy Stock, Cloudy Flex and Cloudy Pro II. When i read the features they are about the same and not much difference between them. I am confused which one to flash for my G2 as i want a stable and fast experience with some added functionality such as split view and aut hide the soft keys. Which one should i flash and what are the main differences between them? Are they all based on the latest build of Kit Kat Android 4.4.2? And which one gives better battery performance?
Thanks in advance!
I have no real idea about the differences, I'm trying to catchup after a few months.
I do have an idea regarding the names:
Flex - based on LG G Flex rom
Pro II - based on LG Pro II rom
Stock - based on LG G2 rom

Go for cloudystock then if you want stable. Wont give you split view unless a mod it's released. But autohide softkeys is standard in 4.4.2. Battery wise they are all great.
Do people using all the variants face the call screen delay.... I'm getting it on Pro 2...
Also what about HD Voice... Which version do people feel has the best call quality

if u prefer dark menu and setting try the flex. while the other two provide light theme.
also the battery of pro and flex is awesome while the cloudy stock is far behind.

So when i am in any app will the softkeys automatically hide after 3 seconds of not using them? That is not available in stock rom.

CloudyFlex is amazing...
I need a temporary phone till the Moto X+1 comes out. I'm debating between the G2 and ght S4. I know I can get a GPE rom for the S4 so that is nice, but I prefer the camera and bigger screen of the G2.
So my question is, how good is an AOSP rom on the G2? Are there performance issues? How well can xposed make the stock rom look like AOSP?
I recently replaced my G2 with a fresh Moto X 2014. I'm giving my D800 to my aunt and I need suggestions on a super stable AOSP ROM that won't give an old lady problems.
Slimkat or CM
Stay on stock base. LG extra functions (ir remote, quick memo ecc) are a must. Optimus g3 1.4.1

I would but she only seems to understand how to use AOSP.
When she opens up the AOSP camera she'll get a heart attack over the horrible quality.
So if you love your aunt, take 5 minutes of your time and help her through the basics of a LG Tom.
Hi everybody. I was planning to replace my Nexsu 4 with an LG G2, and since I really like the pure android I will be (probably!) flashing CM on it. Now I am new to this world so please be gentle with me I want to know a few things:
1) Is the UI on LG G2 sluggish and slow? especially after installing apps?
2) Is the stable version of CM for LG G2 (I guess it is CM12 right now) bug free? (I have heard stories about battery drain and stuff with CM12).
3) Is the stock Lollipop stable? Do you recommend I upgrade OTA from KK to LP?
Thanks!
I came from Nexus 4 to G2 6 months ago.
1) LG UI is fast on 4.4.2, and about 20% slower (MY opinion) on 5.0.2 because 5.0.2 sucks :/ (5.0.2 was slow on my old Nexus 4)
2) CM is not 100% stable, if i recall correctly there are minor bugs that occur from time to time, lag in Google Play Music, DT2W works a bit worse than LG roms, also Camera is a bit worse than LG rom
3) Stock Lollipop is stable, you can OTA if your network carrier has the update (if not you will have to use LG PC Suite or flash KDZ image)
If you REALLY need stock Android you should get Nexus 5. I chose G2 because I was so mad after having Nexus 4 camera and audio playback quality, i simply refused to get Nexus 5. G2 has amazing sound (HD sound driver) especially if you have 50EUR+ headphones and a great camera
Also its questionable when and will G2 get official 5.1.1 or 6.0, the G3 only 2-3 weeks ago got 5.1.1
Thanks a lot! You answered all my question. Let me ask you a few more since you are the right person First of all, my Nexus 4 is amazing and works perfectly. My only complain (just like you) would be the camera (I only listen to audiobooks, so audio quality is not really an issue for me). Also I thought the battery on the G2 is above average (correct me if I am wrong).
1) How would you compare the G2 UI (4.4.2) with Nexus 4 (on 5.1.1)? Is it the same speed or you feel a lag?
2) When you say camera on CM12 is not as good as stock rom, do you mean the camera features? cause I know that the G2 camera has many features. Or you mean like the image quality with the same settings on the stock is better that CM?
3) In general, if you would choose again, now that you know how is the quality of Nexus 5, would you choose it against G2?
I was thinking of getting the N5 too, but the camera and the battery life on the G2 are tempting honestly. I am ok with 4.4.2 and I will stay on that if I think it performs better than 5.0.2. I think I will avoid CM though since I am afraid the headache does not worth it for me.
UI of G2 is not slow, it is pretty fast also on Lollipop. Only issue with official lollipop is memory leak.. You have to restart your device every day or you will suffer from launcher redraws.
Battery life on CM is worse than on stock. Also quality of photos is lower + G2 doesnt support Camera2 API so you don't have any advanced camera features on CM.
LG G2 offers GREAT performance for price, it has much better hardware than Nexus 5 but I still prefer Nexus 5 because of the software.

1) G2 UI (4.4.2) is as fast as Nexus 4 on 5.1.1. However, G2 UI at 4.4.2 has no material design. You can check it on youtube
2) The latest CM12.1 (not CM12) has a better camera, but yeah less features, and the pics are sometimes blurry (15% chance).
3) Ahh, I don't know, i really want 6.0 from Nexus 5, but N5 has a worse screen, only 2300mah, 8mp camera......i would get a G2, but this time in black color
Thank you guys! I will keep an eye on both G2 and N5. If G2 gets the update to 5.1.1 or 6.0 I will definitely go for it. If not, I have to decide which one to go, G2 or N5.
