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

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.

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.
CM 11.

Mahdi ROM best ROM for g2 my opinion

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?
I finally decided to drop my beloved galaxy nexus. The N5 seemed like the next phone of my dreams but couldn't stand the thought of losing my unlimited plan so G2 seemed like the next logical choice. I have been reading as much as I can and still having a hard time wrapping my head around things. Here is where I am at:
Bought phone from swappa appeared to be in new condition as advertised with plastic still on the phone.
Not sure if the phone was updated ota by the seller but the software and baseband were 12b out the box not rooted.
I rooted successfully with latest I0root method.
Installed loki patched twrp 2.6.3.3 successfully via freegee method. Full nand backup of rooted stock. Backed up imie with freegee and imie and other partitions via flashable zip method.
So where do I go from here? Is it safe to flash any VS980 rom from this point?

I have yet to install a custom rom or I could let you know. I have however upgraded to philz recovery and successfully installed dorimanx kernels. Got a little busy messing with exposed modules as well. I wanted to make sure I have all my essentials backed up before messing with roms and have the appropriate files and drivers working in case something goes wrong. I tried to install malladus yesterday and the install failed but I want to say the download was bad as it took forever. I had no issues with restore. I'll report back if I have any luck.

If you want some KitKat love, try out Mahdi ROM with the latest furnace kernel. Very very stable on my vs980.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
You've bought the right device, aside from some unreleased phone of course. I too came from the gnex and I love this thing. Go install some AOSP ROM and it will be like you never left the gnex. (Although admittedly not as stable YET). With KK just being released by LG, all roms should get better. Anyways, enjoy a camera that works all the time not just when it is super bright and a battery that is equal to 3x of the galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the input. I installed AICP latest ROM last night with no issues. Feels amazing with no scroll lag compared to stock. Only thing I miss is knock off but hey you can't have it all. Gonna give furnace a go later.

I thought Mahdi came with knock on?

Does anyone know of a AOSP 4.4.2 KitKat build for the D800? I am not looking for something like CM11, just completely vanilla Android.
Also, I am new on this forum so I cannot ask in the CM11 thread but is anyone else having issues with CM11 nightlies hanging up on their d800?
Try mahdi rom in the g2 original development section

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.
