Hi guys, this is my first post.
Btw I'm going to buy a G2 soon and I was interested to find a pure stock AOSP rom, or the closest one, after doing some searches in the forum I found the Nexus 5 GPE rom, and people's saying that it's bugged and heats the phone.
I like all the G2 specs so I'm definitively not going to buy a Nexus, the only thing I don't like of the G2 is the LG stock firmware so is there any port of pure AOSP without addons?

I am new to the developing world. I always see these abundant aosp ROMs popping up for any and every phone and I just jump on the wagon and start flashing the newest most up to date ROM. As an owner of a d803 lg g2 I'm just wanting to know, in terms of speed and battery are aosp ROMs really that much better than the lg stock ROM? Expert opinions?
Hi all,
i was going to buy a g2 but as i always do i wanted to know first what roms are available and how they run. Have been reading through xda and how well are kitkat roms running on the g2 ? I read that slim has troubles, is this a general issue or just rom related ? what about PA or others ?
I ussually get a new phone every 2 / 3 years so that i want to make sure to have up to date os until then.
TIA !
there are some minor problems with PA roms. Nothing serious though.
LG will be releasing kitkat in some time (a month?), so there will be more roms based on KK.
For now You could choose between PA, CM11 (and roms based on), some slim kitkats, and there are a lot of stock based roms and roms ported from G Flex. I would say not bad at all. Go and check it out in Development sub forums.
Stock rom is also not bad - sure it is loaded with some bloatware but better than Glaxy's for sure

thanks for your reply !
i had only a brief look to the stock ui but im sure im going to hate it. I dont have anything against LGs ui, im just used to aosp roms and like their simplicity.
My concern isnt just about kk but beyond, i mean, this year google will release 4.5 ( or whatever they will call it) and my guess is that LG wont make it available for the g2.
Does anyone know LGs policy about os updates ? How have they handled previous updates for example ?
TIA
LG policy about updates is non existent LG G for e.g. . They were saying that they will change their approach to updates but...
I also like AOSP very much - was using nexus 4 for a year. For now i would say You could use PA on daily basis. There are some minor bugs. Battery life for me was worse form what i got on stock, that's why i'm switched back.
Other than that no crashes, reboots etc. Dunno about games though - they were some voices that some of them crashing
Personally I've bounced back and forth between stock and 4.4 Roms. Right now really happy running stock with xposed installed and using g2 exposed app in play store. Really able to do everything I personally want to be able to with that module.

First of all, hello to all Lg G2 users. I joined the family upgrading from S4 two weeks ago.
I was wondering why there isn't any pure AOSP rom? Is there a big reason or something? We got the same hardware as N5 and from my side i dont know why there aren't any pure AOSP roms at the top of all threds.
Btw the phone is great! And i really fell upgrading from S4 is a big defference.

well that's very simple if we were aiming for pure aosp experience than we would have opted for a nexus, actually that isn't true I'm pretty sure the reason there isn't a pure aosp rom is because nobody bothers to make one, there are alternatives like cm/aokp/pa and each one is better than pure because they have new things to play with, im pretty sure that it wouldn't be hard to make a pure aosp rom I mean it'd be a simple as taking cm, removing all the features and making it look as nexus as possible

Well, i think that pure AOSP roms are always welcome to any device. I'm not a developers or got a lot of free time so i cant create it myself that's why i'm asking.

well I am currently trying to learn about making roms so once I'm successful i'll look into making a pure aosp but for now I've got lots to learn
I think of getting the GS4 or the LG G2, but I think of installing AOSP roms on the device I will buy.
I know the G2 probably wins in terms of out of the box device, but which one is better in terms of customs roms?
I know that the GS4 is more friendly for developers than the G2 and therefore most of its useful features can be used in custom roms..
I recently broke my Nexus 5 beyond repair, so I ordered an LG G2 D802 because i got a nice deal for it, it hasnt arrived yet but I dont want the experience to change much from my Nexus, what is the best ROM that will give me the most Nexus-Like, GPE style experience for my new G2? keep in mind I need to be as close to stock google nexus as possible, I dont need all the fancy CM12 stuff...

SlimSaber(pure AOSP,but heavily enchanced for speed and battery life),AOSPA,AICP,CM12.1 .
To be honest,CM12.1 and SlimSaber are my favorites.
Omni rom

There is a 5.1 Omni release for our device?
Could you share a link?
Euphoria obviously, if you like more kernel settings, or dirty unicorns for more usual settings. They, and desolation rom, are the smoothest, but the last time I tried desolation it has bugged unlock method selection menu. Some people encounter random vibration problems, just completely delete the default launcher. I also delete mpdecision file if the kernel has a replacement.
