No stock lg kernel developers? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have had my g2 (ATTD800) since launch day and I'm surprised that we only HAD one stock firmware kernel dev, now there are none. The fact that we are able to flash kernels is amazing and I'm just curious if anyone has any info on any developer planning on releasing stock kernels. Thanks.

What kind of mods you guys installed?

So I I finally received my RMA phone. I rooted it and unlock. Im gonna keep it on stock rom but was wondering what kind of other mods you guys installed like camera or kernel?
If you decide to flash a kernel, I would try Matr1x. I've heard good things about it.

will franco kernel work with stock rom? Is it safe to update OTA official stock roms?

You need to unlock your boot loader at least to run custom kernels. You can update to ota ROMs as long as you have stock recovery.

works with stock ROM. Once you have a custom recovery you won't be able to receive OTA. However since stock ROMs are usually posted on XDA before I actually receive it I don't see a problem with it.
franco kernel for battery life. circle battery because I like seeing it. eventually i'll probably flash the noozy? audio mod. trying to avoid flashing a custom rom this time around, just because.

Rom closest to vanilla Android like nexus 5?

Hi there I'm running rooted stock 4.2.2 and want a rom that is closest to the look and feel of a nexus 5 but still has features such as LG remote and KnockOn while also have the always listening 'okay Google' feature of the nexus 5/Moto X. What are my options? Help would be much appreciated!

Paranoid Android 4.0 is probably about the closest you'll get to KitKat. It doesn't appear to have the always listening feature, but it's a great ROM. I think it's the closest thing you can get to a stock Nexus 5 without actually buying the N5.

CM11 is the correct answer. PA has a bunch of add-ons, as does Mahdi.

Any ideas on why I am having issues with LG G2 d800 rooted and unlocked using TWRP to flash some ROMS? I can flash...
CleanROM-SE-2.0
CyanogenMod 10.2
CyanogenMod 10.2.0-RC1-d800
with no problems, but when I try just about any other ROM, I get a red "failed" almost immediately after starting the flash.
Thank You!

Not true, Houstons PA builds have less customisation than CM11, yes in the future PA will have more than cyanogen (as it has before) but at the minute, PA is nearly stock, apart from helpful kernel tweaks.

Ok what version of TWRP do you have installed. TWRP 2.6.3.2 has problems Fashing 4.4 ROMs and will say failure I know because the same thing happens to me. But if you upgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.3 you should be able to flash 4.4 ROMs no problem.

Awesome, I'll give that a shot.
Thx
Thanks for the replies both PA and CM look great, I have no problems with either of them, the thing is I still want
some of the stock LG features like KnockOn (And Off) and QuickRemote as well as compatibility with the LG cover for the phone.
Is it possible to have all of this in a rom?

[Q] Reverting to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 TMO D801

Hey there,
Is there a known way to revert back to 4.2.2 rom from the new Kit Kat update from Tmo? I want to flash the PAC Rom for this and can't because there is no TWRP or other way of a custom recovery as of yet on this update. Makes me sad. I actually am on a rooted stock rom at this point. Just no custom recovery. Thanks for any help.
You can use this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) to downgrade to a version where custom recovery is possible and you will be able to flash pac

I know there's a way to do it but based on this thread we may be seeing a solution that allows custom recovery with 4.4.2 soon . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667227

I've been following the thread and the way I see it is even if the way there making recovery works we who are on kit Kat still need to use the flash tool to go to jelly bean and flash a modified kit Kat that will allow custom recoveries

True. I'm just hoping it isn't so locked down that we can't use other custom kernels. But thanks for the link, I'll be getting my G2 in two days and that info was relevant to my interests.

You guys are soo awesome. I will hopefully be AOSP in just a few hours... :thumbup:

Well, as it turns out not so fast. I am trying to use the flash tool and am getting all sorts of errors. This is crazy I am contemplating returning this one to the Tmobile store and getting a replacement ( still inside the 14 day window. lol ) The replacement would still have 4.2.2 .. lol I hate being locked down. I die inside a little.

how can i tell if its a LG based rom

How can I tell that a ROM is LG based? I just bought a rooted LG G2 but its on AOSP and I'd rather be on an lg based ROM. Heck even stock rooted debloated
Take a look at the screenshots or description in the thread. It's not rocket science.

Well usually it would say stock base for stock, aosp based, flex base or g pro 2 base

First flash in 2 years

Hey guys, I happen to be running an old shostock rom from shortly after I got the phone. I believe I have the mdl bootloader but am only 90% sure.
Since it has been so long and I see so many threads about having to use safestrap I just want to be cautious with my flash.
I would like to try out a newer, but very stable ROM. Which ones are compatible with my device? I assume I still need to flash lokidoki.zip?
I used to love miui on my old inspire/desire hd....is there a good port for the gs4?
Thanks for the help!

If you go to Settings, "About Phone" and check there or extra information, it should tell you the what the current bootloader is for your device, yes?
Dirty Unicorns is a stable MDL based ROM available in Kit Kat and Lollipop.
If you have an old ROM, I wonder if you may need to update your modem as well.
Whatever do you, don't forget to backup. Good luck.

Anyone else have anything to add? How stable are the aosp lollipop roms?
I do like touchwiz but I'm looking for a change of pace.
