Is there anyone working on the official LG KitKat? I know we have some 4.4 roms, but I like all of the "features" and polished-ness of the stock or near stock OS. I am running Digital Dream right now and loving it. I heard that Korea has an LG 4.4 rom... just curious thats all.
Yes there is....
LG is working on a stock 4.4 kk ROM
Apple.... just eat..!!!
Just a quick question, if it's already been asked, my apologies. Is it safe to assume that any custom roms for the Sprint LG G2 will still maintain the knock-on feature and still have qslide features? I live in a spark area, would love to take advantage of ZVA update, but don't really want to lose any existing functionality. Would this also be true of any of the custom kit kat roms? Sprint always seems to be last when it comes to pushing out updates, and I am not a patient person! I want it and I want it now! Don't really need it, but always want it.
Knock On and QSlide are features of LG's stock ROM (4.2). Any ROM based on stock (4.2) keeps those features. There is no stock KitKat (4.4) for the Sprint version as of now, those are mostly CM, and you lose stock features like Knock On and QSlide.
[LG G2]With Custom ROM the same bugs (sound & battery life ) as with original KitKat?
Hello Everyone,
I've just purchased my LG G2 32GB unbranded.
Actually I wanted to update it to KitKat. But I'm worried to get the audio bug and the shortened battery life as it is mentioned in several blogs.
So I was thinking to put a custom ROM KitKat on my phone in order to prevent the mentioned bugs.
Is this a good idea? Do this bugs occur in custom ROMs too?
Is the custom ROM containing KitKat as good as the stock KitKat with the improved KnockOn feature?
It would be awesome if you guys could give me a hint.
Thanks a lot and have a great day.
Live long and prosper. V

I would give KitKat a try. If you see bugs, you still can flash back to JellyBean and then decide if you want to install a custom recovery and try some custom roms. Of course there's no bug free software, neither custom roms nor stock.
A lot of the roms I've been trying have had many issues. I have an unlocked verizon s5 (nondev) with an ATT sim.
What is the most stable, battery saving, debloated rom you use? Did you bother with lolli? If so, which lolli rom do you like?
I'm running Jrkruse's International OC7 rom on an OA8 build, but I have used it on OC4 and it might be more stable overall. Battery life is decent (better than OA8 stock roms). You can debloat it, but I like the stock apps and delete them if I want to. It's also stable as long as you follow instructions. And it has some more features than Verizon roms like the return of silent mode.
I'm using cm 10.2 on my d800. its been kinda buggy lately with the contacts and music widget crashing. I figure I'll put lollipop on. whats the most stable bug free rom to use? I was thinking either cm 12 or stock lg g2 lollipop update. I need a stable phone. I prefer the stock lollipop look so the lg g2 lollipop update isn't my first choice.
I am exactly like you, only that I have the Lollipop Update (D800 - v30f) but I want a Stock Lollipop-Looked Rom, but at the same time I want the LG's features like QuickMemo+ and QuickRemote, so if someone know how I could have this kind of LG's features on a AOSP Rom, I will be so geatfull!

I think the stock roms for any android version are missing a lot of camera features that come with the lg roms, right?
cloudy?

cloudy g2 3.0 looks like the lg g3 rom. has the lg skin.
it seems like a very good option if i can't find a unskinned rom.
imo lollipop is unstable on the whole (memory leak, redraws, etc) which is why im still on cloudy kk.
You could use the aosp stock laucher on top of standard lg Lollipop. From http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/upload-aosp-launcher-apk-lollipop-please-t2944079
Don't know if that will run on the G2... But why shouldn't it?

I've been on Lollipop since day 1, I've had 0 redraws, and I don't think I have memory leak, but I'm not sure how could I test that, seeing the running apps currently I have 733 MB free RAM, System uses 583 MB and Apps use 542 MB, I don't know how good is that, but I know that my experience on Lollipop has been great, I couldn't use KitKat for a minute (at least not stock KitKat, Cloudy's ROM is way better).

Or just download Nova? But that's still not the same as running a 5.1 stock ROM, I miss some things from my old phone which was running 5.1, and I can't replace that with apps.

what rom are you using now? cloudy g2 3.0 ?
Just stock Lollipop (I mean LG's stock Lollipop, not AOSP-stock).
Give Tsunamical's Euphoria-OS 1.1 a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-euphoria-os-1-1-t3114678
Euphoria-OS is from the same team that gave us the awesome Mahdi ROM for KitKat. Tsunamical has put a CAF-based kernel on it and done a bunch of other work. It's a fast, solid, daily driver quality ROM with lots of good features but without a lot of bloat.
My experience: stock lollipop + nova launcher set on fast + set 0.5 animations transitions and duration in developer options menu + kernel dorimanx in signature (performance profile). Rock stable super smooth and very good battery life.

I'm not sure if he is asking about Stock LG Lollipop or Stock Android. Regardless these are some good suggestions. I personally LOVE the stock LG rom. Like above, I use Nova regardless and .5 Animations.
The Verizon Stock Lollipop 39A is apparently supreme in this case, enough to warrant people porting it. Because the Verizon Variant is GSM unlocked, there isn't much hassle getting it to work on GSM international and Tmobile phones. Most of the "new" stuff Verizon lollipop brings is mostly more Material design in the dialer, messaging, email, etc. I know there is a port thread here somewhere if you look. I honestly didn't have a problem with it. It was MUCH more stable than the CM based roms. The G3 rom ports are also pretty good but buggy on the Verizon model (international G3 ported was lacking Verizon features). I always ended up back on stock.
I've tried going back to the Stock Android Lollipop but I constantly miss the small LG features of the LG rom. There are just too many cool things LG offers like the Floating notifications for Phone and Messaging, Wifi File Sharing, Keyboard, etc. These are things you can't download from the Play Store and have them intregrated like LG has it.
But no matter the base rom, I always use Nova, .5, lower DPI, and SideBar.
The only thing I really like is the CM Theme Engine to randomly swap out the system themes. But I like the white theme of the LG rom. This is the only phone I have actually stayed on the manufactures rom longer than a week; kept it for 2 years and since upgraded to the LG G4.
