Quick question: do people who say they are still rocking JB, you mean 100% stock from kdz or a custom 4.2.2 stock JB rom?
All JB threads are more or less dead so just wondering
Thanks
I went back to 11a jb stock recently because the 4g signal strength is so much better. Battery life isn't as good and of course I give up some kit kat apps and minor app improvements I which i don't care about but i can use my phone in more on 4g in so many more areas. It seems every brings poorer 4g signal strength.
This morning I decided I couldn't hold back from android 5.0 any longer and the update just couldn't come fast enough (it never can, am I right) so being the average android fanboy I looked toward CyanogenMod. I knew all they had was night lies and that was why I held off so long, but my curiosity gave in and I had to. So I headed over to cyanogen and grabbed my handy dandy .zip . I rebooted to recovery and went through the routine, and it just couldn't go fast enough, in reality it was the fastest flash I've ever done. First cm12, then my gapps. Waited for the phone to reboot blahdeeblahdeeblahhh, went through the upgrade process and BAMMM! 5.0 RIGHT IN MY FACE! First look at this nightly 5.0 and I couldn't get enough. The quadhd has definatley been put in effect and it shows. Everything I've used has been fully functional except updating su binaries (prob lack of support for 5 due to being new). The elegance and speed run perfectly along eachother, and my phone has never been faster. I may be speaking to soon, but this project must be somewhere close to a stable build. I'm currently running 1/21 nightly and i recommend it to others, I have found this ROM safe and will continue updating my phone with nightlies
and leaving feedback, feel free to leave your expierience
I never understood why people think that CM12 is so faster than LG's rom. For me both are blazing fast, CM12 could be even slower because it has longer animations (if we compare on 1x speed both). Speaker quality and volume is really lame on CM12 rom unlike on LG's rom. Only two things I dont like about LG's rom is crap lockscreen (CM12 has best lockscreen ever) and new Lollipop look. Kitkat looks much more elegant than Lollipop which looks childish and cartoonish. I bought G3 after having various Nexus devices with full stock google experience, and I gotta say it's nice to have some integrated useful features. CM12 is still missing many features, won't even think about switching to it right now.

I'm in agreement with speaker volume, I noticed after switching over that my phone wasnt as loud as it had been before. I believe a lot of people believe that the simple look of lolipop is what makes it so elegant, its more laid back. There are a lot of disadvantages with switching over to. If your a quickremote user you quickly miss not having it in cm12.
Long story short, custom ROM'S never be good as official ESPECIALLY for LG G3, you just need to understand that, for some people it's ok but for some don't. All you need is a root and MAYBE a custom kernel. PEACE.
Agreed on sound quality but CyanogenMod has many advantage's
I would argued on sound quality and maybe animations just because they are more much nice in CyanogenMod vs stock ROM. Everything else is just plain better in CyanogenMod. I am experiencing a randomly sound beep for about 1 to 3 seconds and dont know why. I am always on the lastest nightly.
Also I love the fact that I can see thr constants additions or fixes CyanogenMod is doing.

You realize that you can use quickremote on aosp right? Check the apps section here for a flashable zip

Wonderful news, im happy to hear that quickremote is still a possibility, I tried a apk from the stock ROM but it did not work, I'll hunt down the zip
Nightly 1/22 has slight WiFi issues, everything else remains working as far as I could tell, currently trying a more stable 5.0 ROM, illusion

I had wifi and data issues too on CM12. I could barely get 3G on some places at work.

It's good to hear that CM12 is coming along. I tried it back when it was "unofficial" and my phone was overheating to the point that it actually scared me. Since then I have moved over to Cloudy G3 (which is based on stock). The Cloudy G3 Rom itself is very quick and with the Android L theme from @Kickoff it has a much nicer look that is closer to the stock android UI. I think I will stick with Cloudy G3. The main reason being that I am able to use ExFAT on my SD card and also the LG camera allows you to save to SD and all of the LG features are there if I want them.
Illusion ROM is extremely stable with a good build team, been using for two days now with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! Its the full lollipop experience.
I also moved as soon as CM12 become possible to use for daily use.
Room is incredible fast, every day less and less bugs. With the most of them is possible to live with.
Comparing to ****ty LG's android, i finally have feeling that i have good phone. Lag and terrible quality of official android make me to feel sorry for buying this phone (beside battery).
I reverted back to cm12. Running 1/26 right now and its flawless. DO NOT UPDATE TO 1/27! There are major speed issues and connection problems. Illusion ROM lacked features I enjoyed and there settings menu was a train wreck.

WARNING
DO NOT UPDATE PAST NIGHTLY 26!!! after nightly 26 almost all connection services such as WiFi and mobile network will not work or work extremely poorly. I have tested all the way up to nightly 29. All the zips are in some way corrupt. They give red code while flashing but proceed anyways (I'm not a proffesional sorry guys haha). Nightly 29 wouldn't even boot without the kernel crashing. Nightly 26 is running almost flawlessly. I hope someone sees this so they can address the problem. I have still not tried nightly 30. I might try sometime later tommorow, I'll continue updating.
Nightly 30 and 31 are working and everything is starting to get polished over. Nightly 31 received a new boot animation darker than before with a nicer ending. Both run very well with no problems noticed so far other than very minor lag between some animations.
Mind that CM12 is in its early Nightlies, issues will be fixed but it will take time.
Well of course, I'm just recording bugs in each nightly so people will have a better idea whether or not they should move to the next nightly
I'm currently considering this rom. Comming from a Nexus 5 I really miss stock Lollipop. The only thing I was wondering is if it was possible to keep the LG Camera App and if the knock code still works? I don't really care about anything else from the official LG rom.
I notice there hasn't been any update recently to this thread. Are you guys still using Cyanogen? How is it comming along.
Thanks.

the activeness of this thread doesn't determine the stability of a ROM lol. flash CM yourself and find out. if you want your G3 to be as smooth and flawless as your Nexus 5 was on AOSP, over clock your GPU to 580MHz and it'll fix all the lag. you can do this on the stock CM kernel using Trickster Mod kernel tweaker.
also, no LG camera and no knock code. but there is Motorola camera which is really just as great, and there is double tap screen to turn it on.

Hi All
I'm new to the forum but have used xda several times throughout the last few years. I think the information on here is valuable and a great help, with all this information though it makes deciding what to do a little difficult.
I have a Nexus 7 wifi (2012) it recently updated to Lollipop all seems to be working fine it's just the speed is extremely slow. I have thought about rooting it and changing the ROM but am not sure if that would speed it up or what ROM to choose.
Ideally I'd like a ROM that is not resource hungry stable and fast.
I am open to suggestions

I suggest staying with kitkat, lollipop is just a mess I have had issues since day one of the release. I have installed a marshmallow 6 rom and it appears and seems faster then lollipop. I went with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...om-6-0-android-marshmallow-pure-aosp-t3226083 so I will see how it performs.
I'm having an issue that I don't understand and I'm hoping someone can help or at least explain what's going on. My phone carrier is MintSim which uses the T-Mobile network.
If I use OOS or any OOS based custom ROM I get a great phone signal--full bars in every room. If I transfer the sim to my Nexus 6P which is running Dirty Unicorns (an AOSP ROM) I get a great phone signal with full bars in every room. But if I flash an AOSP ROM on the OP5 my phone signal is poor to non existent. I have tried 3 different AOSP ROMs on the OP5 and I couldn't get a decent phone signal on any of them.
I've never run into an issue like this on any other phone. Can someone explain why this might be happening?
You shouldn't judge it by bars. Many manufacturers like oneplus and even samsung will make it look like you have full signal strength even though you don't. Roms usually report it correctly. Use a signal app and it should show the same signal strength in dBm

In Aosp I have two bars to none. I have also tried to make calls and was told the quality was poor. On top of that I'm using an Aosp ROM in my other phone and it shows the same signal strength as OOS. On all 3 Aosp ROMs I tried on the OP5 the signal was so unstable the signal bars never stayed the same for more than a few seconds.

I've never come across that issue on a previous phone. The only AOSP ROM I've gotten no complaints from people I called is Viper. The signal meter on the OP5 is really inaccurate on AOSP ROMs. I installed a signal reader app. It showed an excellent signal but I only had a couple bars according to the icon at the top of the screen.
did anybody able to figure this out, tried a lot of AOSP i think all of it, but signals just dropped out most of the time, followed flashing requirements on each ROM, went back to OOS stable 5.0.2 now 5.0.4 signals stick all the time, gps works perfect...just wanna know coz I still prefer AOSP esp the LOS 15.1.

It's been like that since OP3.
Will likely never be "fixed" at this point. Just get used to it, some recognized developpers declared it is only a "visual" issue.
I guess there is nothing to do about it...
I returned from LOS to OOS just because of that. It may be only visual, but would you ignore warnings on your cars engine? Bad signal means the phone tries harder to aquire it and it means more battery drain. I wouldnt really go with the statement its just a visual bug, especially on LOS where they have set the bar quite high in quality by themselves.
