Hey all!
Simple question: Does GRAM works on AOSP roms?! Is it a software or a hardware feature?! Or maybe both?!
Thanks!

Good Question,
Was wondering this myself
Any opinions on this?
If I had to guess I would think that gram feature is activated through either the rom or kernel, so it probably isnt working on AOSP based ROMs. But thats just a guess due to how the feature activates.

What makes me confused is some reports in those AOSP roms of better battery life!!! I really highly doubt it!
I've had the S2, S3 and never AOSP gives better battery life than stock roms! I think this also applies to highly optimized software like the one on our LG G2 or HTC one!
Its really a toss up on battery life, no matter what phone. It depends on the feature you use and how they are implemented so no one can say AOSP gives better or Touchwiz gives better, or anything like that. Usually it is the apps within the ROM that give the bad battery life, such as Google Now. Stock GNow is just terrible on battery, and from what I can tell LG didnt do anything to GoogleNow to optimize it or change its function in any way. The Samsung or HTC implementation of it may give better battery life. There are also a lot of rom features in system apps that drain a lot more battery in Touchwiz and Sense than the stock AOSP.
The reason people get better battery on AOSP for this phone right now is because of two reasons:
1) the kernel default speed is 1.5GHz, meaning even at max it wont ever drain as much battery as stock
2) AOSP based ROMs have less bloat in them right now that isnt draining as much battery leading to better idle life.
You are partially right but not completely! Software optimisation has a lot of role in here!
A big example is let's say the HTC one being able to deliver 10hrs of browsing on its modest 2300ma. I dare you that AOSP can't do that!
Also see iPhones which have like 1400ma and have some amazing battery life.
So allow me to say you are wrong! Software optimisation has a lot to do!
Besides when I wrote my last comment it was out of experience and not speculation. I always have the same apps and most of the time touchwiz (although it has more bloatware) had mich bettery life! So NO it's not only about the apps! There's something much deeper than that!

Are you saying that no custom rom gives better battery life?!
Can't say I agree with that at all. Anytime I've changed a stock blaoted rom for a well put together aosp rom the battery has always been better.

Read my reply above sir!
Anyway that's just not the main issue! The question here is Does GRAM works on AOSP or not?!
It would be great, but i'm afraid we need some developer here. Maybe they can port the script from LG frimwares to use it in other roms. I would buy a beer for that hero!

No to being rude, but really doubt that HTC One can deliver 10hrs on browsing. Where did you get this info?
I owned H1 previously, even browsing via wifi, there is no way it could survive that long.

Still can ´t find answer if GRAM works on AOSP roms. Every AOSP rom has really big drain from screen. On LG stock rom top one draining process is system.
So is it because LG rom is heavy bloated and android system on AOKP is so light that screen is bigger drainer or GRAM really doesn´t work on AOSP roms.
Hey guys,
So I am really torn between LG G2 and nexus 5, I want the lg g2 specs (battery) with pure stock basically. I really appreciate all the roms I have used with my sensation, but even CM wasnt reliable enough. I was looking for commentary on how close we are going to be able to get with reliable pure stock experience of the n5 on the g2 AT&T.

If you load any of the custom AOSP ROMs and stay out of the extras, its virtually a stock experience. As of right now there is no straight AOSP for G2.
Hopefully we'll see our first with 4.4!
I've been the biggest AOSP fanboy for years - since the OG Droid days. I hated and avoided any phone with an OEM skin. I bought this phone with the intention of putting the first pure AOSP ROM out there. Then I started using the phone and realized the LG skin is super minimal and nearly all of the features are very useful. I'm officially a former AOSP fanboy now. Give the G2 a try and I think you'll find the same thing.
Nova launcher. 8sms disable, q slide. And grab a aosp gallery apk maybe a aosp dialer. I prefer dialer one. Remove bloat and I'd say that you're close to stock. Could grab aosp camera, but why.
With googles focus on apps now. The ROM is beginning to matter less and less.

I don't see any reason to consider LG UI far from stock. It follows Holo guidelines (ahem, I'm looking at you Touchwiz) and is smooth. Take it out for a spin in-store, I think you'll like it. Just ignore the icons and install Nova Launcher.
I like Kitkat, but it's not like we won't get it on the G2. CM will get there in no time. The one thing that keeps me from buying the Nexus 5 is the crap battery; I don't know about you, but I can't stand it.
Give LG UI a spin, maybe you'll like it. I installed KitKat Theme and all the ugly icons are gone now. Maybe you can install Aprx or Nova Launcher.

What about battery? I think cm can last longer than lg stock rom. However note 2 with tw last longer than note with aokp/cm.
I've been using CM now for a few days on my Verizon G2, and personally find it to be extremely usable as a daily driver. Of course there will be minor issues here and there since we're talking about nightly builds, but I'm sure they'll get those worked out soon enough and have a stable release.
That aside, as others have mentioned, the stock LG UI really isn't that bad as far as bloat, etc. While I do find the phone to be a tad more responsive and less laggy on CM, LG's UI is really quite usable, and doesn't add too much to the normal stock/AOSP experience.

Which KitKat theme are you talking about. I dig the AOSP look and have been trying to find a good way to replicate the appearance.

Not sure about battery life on CM vs stock, but i have a feeling that LG's optimizations aren't in vain. CM on the Optimus G offered great performance but relatively short battery life.
Hello. I have an opportunity to take a 32gb model N5 or G2 for the same price. I need to know, which one will be better for the day use for my cases:
1) much phone calls (GSM + SIP calls)
2) music
3) e-reading
4) foto
5) web serfing.
Thank you.
P.S. I hope, people who will recommend me one or another phone, had the opportunity to test both devices.

For the same price G2 is better.You get a slightly bigger screen,better camera and better battery life,it's like a better nexus 5 if you install 4.4 kitkat rom in my opinion.In my country nexus 5 is 534$ and G2 for 574$ for 32gb price difference is low so I'm getting G2.

I mean LG G2 is better than the Nexus because of the Screen, Camera, Battery. But the UI is not as smooth as in Nexus 5 which has stock android. No matter which custom ROM you install on your G2, Official Stock Android on Nexus 5 can not be matched. There will always be some bug here n there & Void Warranty. (Please be advised, this is my personal opinion)
The G2 is much much better made, has a better camera, better battery, more features, and is more stable. The N5 has horrible build quality issues, I had to return 3 and rejected 2 more in the shop, all had screen faults and were different batches. The G2 is cheap because its not selling that well, the N5 is cheap because it is cheap.. and nasty.
The G2 can be made just as fast and smooth as the N5, if not more so, and seems to play games at a higher frame rate to. The N5 is just very badly optimised. The g2 out benches the N5, and while benchmarks dont tell the whole story they are an indication that something isnt right with the N5. I didnt find the N5 to be any faster, and it was often slower. There is still lag and micro stutter in scrolling widgets and chrome.
The N5 will have the newest version of Android first, but thats not really a big deal when it still has very few features. Kit Kat is little more than Jelly bean with a few tweaks anyway, its a minor update. The N5s main advantaged is ROM support, but do you really need 500 ROMs, instead of, say 30 for the G2, 490 of which is either copies of each other, or dont work properly?

I disagree on smoothness, and there is no such thing as 'Stock' Android on a retail device. Stock only exists in emulators, the Nexus runs Googles idea of retail custom Android. Each Nexus is a little different to the other and has its own customisations.

I'm a little confused about which forums and roms to follow for my particular model. Seems to be no original development for this version. Do the G2 forums have Roms that are universal with both the d801 (T-Mobile) and others (800, 802, etc...) thanks

Had a question. I should be receiving my g2 tomorrow and I'm hung up on which rom to go with.
Most important features to me are camera & battery life.
In your experience, if you have any... I was looking at either running Pac Rom, SlimKat, or Mahdi rom.
Do you think I'm better off with a rooted stock based rom, and if so which one of those would you recommend.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 on SlimKat and a Note 3 on jellybeans
Thanks

I'm assuming you've ran AOSP ROM's before so you know what that's like. So for me I came from a Nexus 4, I'm as much of an AOSP fanboy as you'll ever meet. The second I got my G2 I rooted it and flashed SlimKat. SlimKat is an amazing ROM, probably the best AOSP ROM for the G2, with Mahdi a close 2nd. It was almost perfect to be honest, the battery life was amazing. I could get 2 days with a charge and about 6 hours of on screen time. Now the ONLY draw back was that the camera sucked balls in comparison to stock LG ROM. While it worked fine 80% of the time, sometimes it was laggy, switching from FFC to rear would hang up, and shutter speed was slow. Quality was decent but not amazing for the pics. And this was the issue with any AOSP ROM.
Because of that, I went ahead and upgraded to T-Mobile's official 4.4.2 KK ROM and it has been very good. I use xposed to do a little modding, but ran it full stock for a week so far and I really like it. With NOVA launcher I'm having no problems, the camera is a tons better than AOSP. The cam app itself has some cool features and the quality plus shutter speed is so much improved. But of course there's a drawback... Battery life isn't as good as AOSP. I'm getting about 1/3 less than what I was used to. But one thing that's not really talked about on the G2 is how ridiculously fast this thing charges. I plug it in at like 10% left, leave my room for about 20 mins, come back and it's at like 58%. So because of that, the lessened battery life doesn't bug me. I still get well over a day on a full charge though, which is a HUGE upgrade in itself compared to my Nexus 4 where I had to charge 2-3 times a day.
Anyways, sorry for the mini rant. If you have another questions, feel free to ask! I've only had this G2 for 2 weeks, but finally getting the hang of the "what to know" for the device.

Man.. That's no rant Lmao that was more than I could have asked for.
I love aosp as well... My note 3 was on VZW so locked bootloader means no go.
My Nexus 5 was nice but the battery was terrible.
My other gripe was the as you said, the camera quality.
Can't believe they still haven't gotten that down yet. I saw that Google might be releasing a stand alone camera app and I believe opening up the api.. So I bet that will help for devs.
The only reason I'm hesitant to run the stock rom is bc coming from touchwiz, I'm not looking forward to that type of heavy hidious skin again.
Do they have a rooted, debloated stock 4.4.2 rom yet?
Thanks again for the help. Trying to hit the ground running with this phone

My advice is to run stock for a week and see how you like it. LG ROM is not bad at all, especially since I expected it to be very bad since I dislike TouchWiz so much.
Yes there's a stock debloated ROM, but newer G2's (like mine) can't run it. Only the official one works. just have to wait for root and recovery to come for KK.

Oh okay, then good chance you can. Just flash it through TWRP and if you don't get white lines then you're good to go. Worse case scenario, you just wipe and reflash something else. Also, flash the KK radio before flashing the official KK ROM.

Which G2 do you have? Hopefully it's not Verizon?
This is a pretty odd question, but i think I still need to ask because i'm so damn curious.And don't get me wrong, i am not saying g2 is not good enough. I have a G2 international, so love it. I am posting this only because i'm really dying for the hints. And everyone's perception of "smooth" is different, and i'm one of those who can easily tell the relatively smooth from smooth.
Lets get back to business anyway .As it's known that Gnex was released 2 years ago,i dont remember the exact day. Anyway, here's a very interesting thing that i've noticed.
I have a Gnex of which the screen was broken until i got it fixed 2 weeks ago. And with a new screen replaced , i felt so excited then flashed a new rom(latest slim rom) with the dirtyV kernel, then set it on art. Then came the MAGIC!!!! a lot of apps that were laggy had become super smooth, like the ios smooth. No matter how i slide back and forth, there was just no lag and everything worked so great. I just coulnt believe my eyes. So I thought it was the ART MAGIC that not only enabled the Android devices to load faster but also increases the smoothness expereince of thoses thir-party apps.
Then i tried those "super smooth apps" on my G2 , i was so looking forward to seeing that g2 would be comparable. Well, it wasnt, at all. So then again, i thought, it was the ART. So i turned it into ART. there was a slight difference between davilk and art on g2 that i could notice when sliding /swiping up and down,left and right. it was a bit smoother, but not as that smooth as Gnex is.
So i started thinking maybe it was the slimrom that did the ART MAGIC. So i flashed the slimRom(stable version), which was on my gnex.(ofc, i know not exactly the same). Then i try those smae apps again, it was ok smooth, but not that great. So i set it to art, then again, it was a little smoother,still, it was overshadowed by gnex.
So i am now wondering whether Gnex with the omap4460 and SGX540. along with the 720p screen is actually beating the G2 with 1080p screen?
Or it's because the optimization of the roms hasnt been there yet?
Even on stock my G2 runs circles around my Gnex. On a custom rom full 24A Madhi Rom my G2 is even smoother. Maybe you have too many apps running in the background on your G2? Also if it is stock the G2 has overaggressive thermal throttling which will slow the phone down. I'd say try the G2 again with a custom AOSP rom and see how it goes.
i full wiped then installed those Apps, so the system was clean.within the system UI, yes they are the same.both super fast. i am talking about the difference when you are sliding up and down on those custom APPs.gnex is obviously smoother,like butter smooth without any lag. you can try slim on your gnex and use art with the dirtyv kernel.and run some APPs like Facebook,twitter or what ever you can slide on. and you will see
what I mean. g2 is fast,it loads faster,but not smoother.I think it could have sth to do with the animation?

probably CPU governor settings
try setting down_differential to 70 in the ondemand settings

I‘ll try and see, but i guess it wont work~ so curious about the myth of my Gnex, what does the Slim probable art do to it? there must be some tricks! I will be killing to know that and put it to my G2
ART definitely helps but my G2 runs in circles around any GNex I've ever used even stock. On Mahdi it's even better, and with ART on I can't make it lag if I try. It's like 5S smooth. I guess everyone's perceptions will vary. Play around with it, maybe something is causing it to throttle for some reason.

The S5 uses the S801, a minor leap over the 800 in the G2...However newer Snapdragons with the except series GPUs are improvements.

I said 5S, not S5 haha. I was comparing to the iPhone, since people seem to use that as a "smoothness" benchmark. I know the 801s are improved.

I just switched from the GNEX to the LG G2 and I cannot disagree more with the OP.
The G2 is so much better. Just try comparing browsing the internet with the Chrome browser on the two smartphones. My GNEX struggled to run Chrome in a reasonably efficient manner, while the G2 just blazes.

You are right, guess it's time for a stronger prescription.

As much as I loved my old gnex, it doesn't even compare to the G2 in every facet.
Your G2 has to be defective in some way.

it really depends on the rom. Here's the truth, if you flash the slim rom with the dirtyV kernel, then turn on the art mode. You'll see how fast your gnex go!NO kidding.
But g2 running with the Mahdi,ofc on art as well, the magic shows again! great!!!!
Thanks mate. Mahdi rom on art helps me beat my gnex again! it's really great!!!
