There's no recovery for KitKat yet buddy, you'll have to downgrade to get cm. I like stock personally, but each to their own.

Based on your various posts, and your experience level, I would strongly suggest you stick with stock KK. There is a very high risk that you will have soft-brick issues and to be honest, although I like CM11, the level of support from the maintainer has dropped to zero and there are still annoying reliability issues.

I think the same goes for a lot of cm based Roms on KitKat. Buggy as hell. Daily reboots required. Cm 10 however, is gold.

If you are staying stock, go with the latest 4.2.2 firmware as it has improvements in regard of gaming drivers and lags compared to 4.1.2.
There's GENNXT, that's the most stable available stock based ROM.
Advantage of stock would be better gaming experience, samsung apps and dual SIM functionality
While the down side would be the usage of RAM is a little higher, as can be expected by stock based ROMs, so expect freezes and lags every now and then.
If you are going custom, in 4.2.2 there's only CM11 that was just released 3 days ago. If you opt to downgrade to 4.1.2, there's an array of ROMs available like PAC-MAN, MoKee, SlimBean, Resurrection and so on.
Personally I would recommend SlimBean, as it's the one I'm usually on and it's the one with the best battery backup, but all of them are full of customizations.
Advantage of being on these would be great performance, close to no lags at all, and starts with over 500 Mb RAM free
And the main disadvantage would be single SIM functionality and limited graphic drivers from 4.1.2 firmware

for android 4.4.1 cm11(4.4.2 not available yet) you have to use a specific recovery which supports SELinux .....you can find more information about it on cm11 thread...
slim 4.4.2 if you are thinking about(slimcat which is called) , is not at all stable yet !!! so there is no 4.4.2 i clear again....
visit this link and see installing procedure if u want this rom !

Hi, maybe I have too simplistic an understanding of these things but I'm struggling to understand what seems to be a clamour to return to stock/unroot to allow the OTA to 4.4.2. I rooted and installed a custom KitKat ROM to remove the bloatware and to have a similar UI as my Nexus 7.
What would be the advantages of having of having stock 4.4.2 bloatware included ? My thoughts were to hang off until a custom stock KitKat ROM is developed and released, and flash that (if at all, DroidKangv1 is working very well for me on my D802)
Or am I way off the mark here and missing something obvious ?
Cheers,
np

The clamour is that its new. Its the latest and greatest with new things to discover. And new things are awesome. Ive gone back to stock and Im loving it so far, there's a lot of cool features that you miss out on by using aosp roms. There currently is a 4.4 stock rom in the developement section if your keen just be aware that there is no root for it yet.
I actually went back to stock 4.2.2 after experiencing issues using the camera and GPS at the same time on the custom ROM I was using.
If I wanted to flash a stock 4.4 kdz I presume it is the same procedure I used to return to stock but obviously with the correct 4.4 kdz file ?
Cheers.
Yeah correct its the same and its this rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665985
Theres plenty of info in that thread.
I thought about doing it but the mixed results people got sort of turned me off. And the fact that recovery doesn't work on it.
Should be interesting though.
[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.
Hi,
I'm currently on stock 5.0 ROM (Simple ROM) but I prefer pure Android UI. I've got two questions:
Is there any fully-working and stable 5.0 ROM?
I'm on KK bootloader and TWRP 2.8.5.1 w/ Bump. Do I have to do anything if I want to flash non-LG 5.0 ROM?
No, you just have to find a Rom and install it through TWRP by factory reseting and installing zip + Gapps.
There are many different roms for the G2, if you like stock android UI with some little improvements, you have the well-known CM12.
If you prefer having a fast and smooth phone you might want to look forward on liquidsmooth.
If you're an addict of options and customization then the BlissPop rom is for you.
And if people likes the LG's stock interface they have simple rom (who can be coupled to GravityBox in order to be enhanced... ).
All those roms are still in devellopement, but honestly they have really good performance and the updates are now just some little things/bug fixes.
You first should look on Gravity Box + xposed who just realeased a LP version, might work on simple rom and add many things.
If you still don't like the improved stock experience you have all those other roms who have their specificies.
I'm currently running BlissPop and have to say that it's really well-made, but D802 has some problems with some builds causing bootloops, so not the perfect one indeed.
Just watch other threads and fine something that you'll like, feel free to ask questions...
So you say I don't have to flash JB bootloader, right? Just flash ROM using BUMPed TWRP and that's it?

No, no, NO! With some ROMs you NEED the JB bootloader, unless stated otherwise!
I made the same mistake and ended up with vertical black lines on the screen due to overheating upon hanging boot. So, even thought the ROM says it includes a bump-ed kernel, I would be really careful with KK bootloaders.

Actually for this simple/Grola ROM you need to be on bumped recovery and KK boot loader BEFORE flashing the ROM. You can flash back and forth between cloudy 2.2 and simple ROM, but aosp Roms in general require jb bootloader
So after dealing with a failed installation of PACMAN for my LG G2 and having to flash stock everything on get it working again, I'm still looking around for a good recommendation of any custom ROM for this thing. I'm on 4.2.2 Jelly Bean right now.
Modified stock is best. Custom roms are good to mess around with but I would never use one for me daily driver. You've already had first hand experience with how problematic they could be. If I were you I would update to lollipop(or not), root, autorec, and debloat everything you don't need. Then if you need some specific feature, mod, or app, add it as needed - the play store, this forum, and the xposed library have everything you could ever want. You have tons of options with rooted stock and it will be far more stable and have better performance than any custom rom.
I've been using Slimsaber as a daily driver, and it's fast, fine, and with great battery.

I was on Stock 30f debloated for a long time, and before that I was on CM11 Snapshot M9.
For the last few months I'm on Cloudy 3.3, I think of all the custom ROMs it is the most stable. I haven't faced any issues till now.
I will say go for Cloudy, but before you do you should take a full Nandroid backup of your current setup and save it on your PC. It's easier to go back if anything happens.
