Hi, why there are so few custom roms and kernels for this great device? Compared to n5 for ex which is on the same platform..

We are going for quality here, not quantity ...
(And there are quite different in many things it matters, its not 1:1 to n5...)

The nexus may be similar to the g2 in the hardware departmant but they are completely different when it comes to the software department, we may not have hundreds of thousands of roms but we have quality and in my experience with other devices(mainly samsung which tend to have lots of roms) I don't see myself constantly changing roms/kernels anymore and that is good because there are less chances of bricking my device because of crack flashing

well that was the only rom that was more pure nexus, your best bet would be to look through the g2 aosp and look for the one that resembles nexus the most or what you would like in the rom, best of luck

If you like stock then why flash a custom ROM? If you don't like the added functionality that custom ROMs bring then there's no point using them. Use stock rooted and be happy, but don't ask (or, by the tone of your post, demand) devs to create ROMs for you which no one else will use.

That's what all custom ROMs are for the N4, since it runs pure Android. I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

Because aosp based rom are full of bugs, issues, force close and unstable ? making my n4 lagging without reason where stock doesn't have ?
But I somehow want an enhanced stock rom I don't know why.
Well maybe I could miss pie control which is the only thing that is useful in a n4 custom rom.

Dunno what you're taking about but I've experienced no lag on my N4 with stock or custom ROMs. I haven't come across a ROM which has any serious bugs or stability issues on the N4. Also, PIE is the only useful feature in your opinion. There are so many other useful features available IMO.

That makes no sense. There are no buggy roms on nexus devices. They're stable because nexus are aosp devices.

I'd like to ask everyone's opinions regarding the G3 roms that are becoming available (CloudyG3, OptimusG3, etc). I'm currently using Pardus 7.4, and have tried a few of the G3 roms. But, I keep coming back to Pardus. Maybe I'm missing something? What is the fascination with the G3 roms?
Few ?
There are only 2 ported g3 roms.

The G3 roms do have some cool new features and a unique UI and they are maintained by great Devs. that will continue to improve them until they are on par with the other current KK roms. And as a ported rom, it takes time to get everything working smoothly. KK felt a little clunky coming from a JB rom that had been constantly updated and optimized but then the KK roms kept evolving too and now I'm very satisfied.
BUT, with that being said, you'll start to notice that a lot of people on XDA just want the 'newest' everything... As soon as something comes out it becomes the thing everyone wants and if they can't have it right away they ask and ask.. When "Android L" is released in any form for any device you will see a flood of posts of why LG sucks because we didn't get the update the very hour it was released.

Great stuff, need a little more work but this is exiting.
Looking forward for updates
There's a thread about it in the original development custom ROMs section by the actual author of the P600 ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cyanogenmod-14-0-unofficial-builds-t3457898/
which has seen a bit of activity, including a newer build.

I've got the verizon 2014 tablet, and about half a year ago I spent something like a month solid trying to root, to no avail. Would this rom flash over ODIN? I'm extremely tempted, but I would really like to not kill my tablet, as I use it for school constantly.

Pretty much, the P605(v) versions have completely different internals (Qualcomm) to the P600 (Exynos), it'd be like flashing a ROM for an HTC device on an LG device (substitute any two different devices you like)

Does your device have an unlocked bootloader? It would answer your question.

Does the H915 have an unlocked bootloader? I can't see any evidence that it does. If not, that's why there aren't any ROMs.
It's considered bad manners to ask for ETAs for development.
You'd have to check at the G5 forum to find out about that phone.

Dude what do you need a rom for on the V20? Is there something in particular you see in any of the few roms out for the V20 right now that you think you're missing?
Should have bought a nexus if you wanted lots of development. I don't care about having root or roms on this phone. It has great features that I'm enjoying quite nicely.

I don't know if you've been to the development section of this forum or not, but if you'd notice, all of the ROMs that are available for the H918 are simply variants of the stock ROM. And if the V10's example carries over to the V20, the second screen will make ASOP ROMs difficult to develop.
I can root my phone and frankly, I don't see anything developed to date that makes it a worthwhile endeavor. There's no Xposed yet for Nougat. About all you can do with root now is Adaway, Viper and getting the Pixel version of Assistant.
You need to be able to unlock your bootloader before you can worry about ROMs. Your phone ain't there.

I'm sorry. He's got all of nine posts and he shot most of that wad here.
I dunno about you. I've been at this for about eight years now. Back in the day, all of that kinda mattered. But today, as then, most custom ROMs will give you more headaches than any benefit you might think you'll see. You can customize a whole lot better with stuff out of the Play Store.

how about double tap to sleep/wake screen on third party launchers like pixel launcher
thats about the only mod id like to see lol outside of custom recovery on my vzw lg v20
other than that an extreme syndicate rom with all LG removed and abase google experience with a ROM the size of ~300mb (Extreme Syndicate) would be first on LG and I make my roms the leanest meanest any phone can ever see lol
Ppl use xtrestolite on samsung but even that rom was more mb than my rom.. mine is the lightest Samsung rom there was (of course xtrestolite was my inspiration but they took the "extreme" name from me)
i cant wait until hopefully we get a BL unlock for non tmo devices.. i remove the most non sense crap but pack in the most used mods in my roms.. once my rom is set i plan to theme it.. geared towards extreme syndicate style (venom inspired black and white battery saving master theme lol)
once i have a unlocked BL (were working on it) I hope we can work together as I'd rather not spend time on theming as much as I want to spend time ROMing..
You're themes are awesome, i love the red n black but Venom I hope once things are going we can make a one of a kind ROM and custome THEME only available on Extreme Syndicate

I won't begin to deny that theming and ROMing aren't a good thing... for some people. Those "some people" would be those who have at least a curiosity as to how their phones work, those that can follow basic directions and those willing to live with the glitches caused by the marriage of features from different hardware platforms without the proper software support.
Often these issues work themselves out. But end consumers often forget that the developers here aren't full time, that they're juggling a hobby that hardly pays for a six pack of beer with family, jobs, and other commitments.
Nor would I discourage someone from trying. But I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the learning curve is fairly steep, and that there will be hours and hours of aggravation and the occasional moments of sheer terror when you think you just f'd up a $1000 phone... all for the payoff of a device that may not work as well as it did before you started messing with it.
I am very tempted by the G6, its design,screen and price are all sweet, though it looks like the custom roms section is nearly dead, why is that?
Is the G6 hard to root?
LG don't open the bootloader to unlock on many models, that's the main issue.

It's 2017. Why are custom ROM's still a thing?
Genuine question. I feel like the standard of the stock firmware these days is good enough to negate the need for a custom ROM, especially if that ROM ruins key features like the camera. Why do people still use custom ROM's?

I agree with you to a degree. I almost never use anything but stock based ROMs with the stock kernel.
I mostly root to use Adaway and delete bloatware. That's pretty much the extent of it for me.
