Hello all
I'm currently running a nexus 4. My provider is offering a very cheap price on a G2. If u was to take it I'm sure I'd go straight to CM11.
I have a few questions.
1. My main issue with the N4 is the battery life. How is it on cm11 with the G2?
2. How active are the the devs for the G2? Is this phone likely to be well supported for at least another year?
3. The other issue for me is the lack of qi charging on the European edition. Is there any decent cases that get around this?
4. What other ROMs should I look at other than CM11?
5. How is the screen quality over the N4's screen?
Thank you everyone for your valued input!

Well I have stock g2 so I cant answer questions concerning cm11.. Atleast on stock, battery life is way better than stock nexus 4 (i had n4) and screen quality is way better!

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I could stick with the stock ROM I like the vanilla android experience personally.
What are the pros of the stock ROM?

I had N4 before I got the G2.
1st, Iv'e always been a fan of stock android. Even though I had lots of samsung phones, I always envied people who have Nexus devices and are satisfied with the crappy hardware Nexus devices always had. Always some compromise with them.
When I got the G2, I discovered, I don't give a s*** about Vanilla anymore, I don't care when updates arrive, I don't care for battery saving apps.
The G2 is fast,
The UI is far superior in functionality to Vanilla
The battery, omg, is awesome.
And the Screen - Slim Bezels, super bright, low energy consuming, wide angles, just pure joy.
I'd say get the G3
But if you can only afford/get the G2 - It's pure joy. I never tried CM or CM-Based on my G2.
I had only 2 roms on it. Stock, and now Kitkat, rooted for Xposed and that's enough for me.
On my Galaxy S devices I had all sort of CM Slimkat Slimbean Paranoid etc seeking some good battery and fast UI.
The G2 rids you of all the searching. You just use it.
Even greenify is almost useless on it. But I use it cause I can.
I use root for Greenify, Call Rec via Xposed, Replaced camera app with one from XDA because the Stock sucks A***.

I got a g2 recently after cracking my Newxus screen.
The battery life on G2 will astound you. All the hangers on in threads like Franco claiming they get 5-6 hours of battery life with normal use are dispelled. The battery in the g2 will show you what it's like to actually have good battery life and be able to use your phone.
The dev community for this phone is no where near the Nexus community, it's the Nexus of course it will have a more active dev community(even though many things like Franco Kernel and others have fell off as the community moved to the Nexus 5). It is existent though you can check for yourself, not something you need to ask. There are kernels, PA port etc.
For g2 I'd honestly recommend staying away from CM and keeping one of the variants of the stock rom. It's not worth giving up the camera, potentially knock on Code(double tap to wake), Knock code, etc. I'd recommend many of the varients of cloudy rom Cloudystock(stock rom) Cloudy flex(port of g flex) or CloudyPro, or many people like Mahdi rom.
Screen quality is better than the N4 in almost every way.
<Edit> I'd get the g3 if you can wait and have the money, but if you're getting the g2 it will be better than your nexus in every way possible.
Does the Google now launcher run well on the stock ROM? If so I could probably live with the stock ROM.

I came from N4, too, and agree with what has been said above: stock LG ROM with root and Xposed G2 TweakBox = killer combo!
I must confess that from time to time I flash a CM, PA or SlimKat ROM, but so far none of AOSP alternative is stable and perform as well as the solution above.
Can't comment on Google Now Launcher, sorry, as I use Apex.
Yes the Google now launcher runs extremely well for me it's what I use daily and have never experienced any lag or stutter I'm using stock rom with xposed and a custom kernel also my experience with aosp / pa ect was it ran well but my battery life wasn't quite as good and the camera didn't perform quite as well (no QHD or slow mo)

How far are LG behind the nexus updates? Now that the google apps etc are more modular and updates using the playstore, being slightly behind the Nexus range is less of an issue but still I wondering how good LG are with their updates.
Do you believe this phone will get the next version of android officially from LG?
I came from nexus 4.
Nexus 4 display is horrible compared to g2
Batterly life is like 2xtimes more just think u have 2x Nexus 4 on your pocket
yeah the battery life so bad on the Nexus 4 its a joke, If I finish the day with it its a miracle!
Is there an easy way to remove all the clutter from the stock notification bar? its way to cluttered for my liking, id be much happier with the standard google kitkat one....

Of course there is. Just use G2 Tweakbox Xposed module. And get full version(it is just 1$ anyway). I have always used CM based roms on my past samsung phones but G2 stock rom is just great, sure sometimes i flash aosp like mahdi (which in my opinion is best aosp rom), but i always come back to stock.
Here is how my G2 looks on complete stock rooted with few xposed modules:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Also i removed LG apps and use alternatives instead, ex. aosp Dialer, calendar, contacts, calculator, gallery and so on. So you can make stock rom look exacly as you wish it to.

I'm amazed how many of you rate the stock ROM! Ive never seem that before with other manufacturers! what makes it so good compared to a asop rom?
I'm amazed too lol I thought most of the heavy users prefer AOSP (since mahdi updated to real 4.4 sources..).
But in the last weeks i was a flashaholic (i flashed a rom per day, AOSP and stock based) and i have to say, stock is really good, combined with dorimanx its awesome (just use his kernel, if you know what you do, because i think its for advanced users, e.g. me - i bought the app "per app modes" where you can configure which app should use which clock and gov. etc., so facebook = 1,5 GHz and ondemand governor, gaming 2,4 GHz and interactive gov, etc. pp), but stock kernel is good too tho.
I'm currently thinking about to flash pure 20D stock and tweak it a bit with root + xposed (with those combos you can make your G2 almost look a like AOSP - dont know about the settings menu and the Q-tiles). But stock is really good on the G2, LG did a good work here tho. Well, i talked with a user, hes using stock with xposed for a long time and hes happy with it.
At the end its YOUR choice obviously, but since many guys are prefering stock i would give it try
Final question!
Does anyone know if the G2 works correctly with the jawbone up24? Either on the stock ROM Or cm11.
This is very important to me as I use the up24 daily with my nexus 4.

it's impossible for something to be perfect and without having a single issue. but the rom with the least issues in my opinion would be Virtuous Unity, a great rom developed by the hardworking Virtuous team. that rom is the closest you can get to perfect. try it.

What is it that you are wanting out of a rom? Different people like different things, and while some like vu (myself included), others want a more vanilla Android experience. Which would point closer to cm.

Depends on your preference. I like sense and the one nearest to perfect for me is Virtuous Unity. Like saranhai said nothing is perfect nothing will be. The stock rom that comes with mytouch is not perfect at all. Some roms have a tad little bit of lag some just a little bit more. Something about every rom is different. Like eqjunkie829 said. You could want sense like me, him and alotof other people. Or you can go with a more aosp/vanilla rom.

I bought this 3 months ago.I like a battery saving Rom.I know there are faster Roms,but current speed (official GB update)doesn't feel bad for me.Also, there is a problem of camera quality of this GB update.
Easy. CM7.
Nothing is more stable and more battery efficient than CM7.
Can't go wrong.
Hmmmm, without a single issue?
I don't think such an animal exists in our modern world...
From my experience, using the stock sense that came with the phone had by far far far more issues than cm6, 7 and 7.1- fc almost every phone conversation followed by signal loss, flaky wifi, lots of problems with the (nice) automatic profile switching etc.
So whatever you install, you're probably going to be "issuewise" much better than stock. Perhaps you'll have to sweat a little more to make it look as neat as sense, though.

MIUI. I got tired of sense roms, that drains battery a lot and makes phone lag after some use.
MIUI is fast, stupid fast actually, and i'm @ 1 GHz CPU. Super customizable , good for battery save.

Try Cyanogen mod (CM7). Like a few suggested!
All my cam apps work great on the stable version.
Battery life is probably the best of all the ROMs because of its simplicity.
This ROM is all about functionality
Although I use MIUI. Which also has great battery life (1day 6hrs) it has its quirks with some camera apps. I just wanted a sleeker user interface
I use a simple cam app anyways and I love the customization. My main goal for rom was battery life, & speed ( i was on 2.2 and it was very laggy out of the box) I just got my phone 2 months ago.
My last smart phone was an htc fuze lol and my previous phone was a simple nokia bar phone.
So I was totally oblivious to rooting prior to 2 months ago.
cyanogen
well I'm using cyanogen 7 stable version and I don't have any issue
running TDJ 2.2.0 just to switch things up a little bit
10+ hours and just now hitting 50%, so far so good
TDJ's port of that rom works wonders
Virtuous Unity for me, never one single issue, great performance, features, speed, battery life.

Virtuous unity was ok, not perfect by any means. It was a heavy rom, some times leggy and had some random FC's I never got in other roms. For a more stock sense/espresso hybrid (with out the stupid blocky apps), royal glacier has to be the most stable rom I have tried. I am currently running Faux's nexus rom and I love it so far, no issues. So if your into AOSP stuff, I would look into that.
Faux nexus 1.3.1
So I have been using faux's nexus 1.3.1 ROM for about a week now, I calibrated the battery right after I flashed it using the battery calibration app, and the battery life is amazing. It lasted 1 day 5 hours according to my battery stats right after I calibrated. Also it has been one of the most stable ROMs I have used besides royalglacier. No FC's or random reboots. One thing I have learned, which may be a total noob thing but whatever, is if you are going from sense to AOSP, you cannot restore any data after you flash your rom. You have to use titanium backup or the mybackup pro app to get your apps, SMS, call logs and the likes back. It might be common sense but i never knew that and it kept me away from aosp roms for a long time!
I looked around for a Paranoid Android catch-all or general forum and I only seem to find the threads for specific devices.
Since I'm debating whether to install PA3.1 on my N7, I thought this should be a good place to start as any.
I apologize if this thread clutters the General discussion thread.
So after watching this video of how PA3 performs on the Nexus 10;
I was really eager to install PA on my Nexus 7. Then I saw this video
and decided I could really use the collective XDA knowledge to make a more informed decision.
so here's a battery of questions.I know how entitled if sounds, but I would really appreciate any input about these questions.
Full tablet UI. I don't like the Nexus 7 stock UI in landscape with the icons on the side. I would much rather have the icons on the bottom, like the Nexus10 UI has them. Will one of the PA3.1 UI's modes enable this?
I'll pass on pie. I know it's optional, which is good because I don't really think I'll be comfortable. Actually, I've seen some videos and everybody is using the notifications on the bottom. Is this optional? I would really like to have both pull down menus remain at the top.
How's the battery life? the threads seems to praise the m-kernel in general, but I'm curious about the franco kernel and if there's any benefit over the m-kernel while on PA3.1.
Actual performance. Nexus10 with PA3.0 is blazing fast. The pinch-zoom action in the video had me drooling. Then I saw the videos of the Nexus 7 and notice it's not as fast.I know we're talking about completely different hardware, but I wanted to get a consensus. Does going from stock ROM to PA3.1 on the Nexus 7 improve performance? Apps, battery, wifi, animation smoothness, etc.
Latest "stable" version. I see that the PA3.1 thread for N7 has the "Nightly" term in the title. I'm happy to help with the Q&A process, but I would like to know on which PA3.1 version I can fall back on (even 3.0, should that be the case). Any recommendations?
again, sorry for the handholding, but I appreciate any and all input.
Yes, the icons will remain on bottom if that is the ui you choose. It is indeed solod and fast using m-kernel. As far as franco kernel, that is something youll have to test. You can get a consensus, but different people use different options. Your experience may vary. The answer you will get repeatedly is "flash it and try it out", because that is the right answer. Nandroid in twrp or cwm, and load pa and test. Personally, I use multirom because i can test all the roms without losing my functional rom.

Thanks.
Have you used PA? Can I put the menus at the top?
What about icon the app drawer app? Can that be repositioned to the bottom?

Hi Mate,
PA on the Nexus is the only ROM I've used for the last 4/5 months? (Its consistantly AMAZING) I've used it since PA 2.54 and its consistently updated and improving.
I too don't use the Pie, I keep the Stock UI (but this isn't the option you want, I never you landscape see)
I've never tried Franco but I've used Faux and M-Kernel.
Whilst Faux and PA is THE BUTTERIEST combo I've ever tried, I got bored and wanted to try elsewhere.
So I tried M-Kernel, I can say the M-Kernel just doesn't have that uber (sorry for that couldn't think of another word haha) smooth feeling, Faux is a god at kernels.
HOWEVER - Faux used to drain 1.4% an hour on standby, M-Kernel uses only 0.7/0.8%. So make your choice, M-Kernel, for great battery and good smoothness, or Faux with GREAT smoothness but a little less easy on the battery. However both kernels and PA make the Nexus 7 into a completely new device.
Hope this helps

1. Yeah you can use the tablet ui like the n10 one and you can have the icons to the bottom (you just need to customize)
2. For the battery life, the Franco kernel is the one praised for its battery life. You can check the kernel comparison thread (I know it's 4.2.1). So far on a 6-8 hours standby, I lose 1-3%. Performance wise : buttery smooth. (nuff said )
3. As for stable version, I think the 3.0 stable is the one from early February but the nightlies are working no problem (just need to flash the bluetooth fix but it's no big deal.)
Hope it helps.

no..
I find that even though it looks nice... It's extremly slow for me
I'm finding the stock browser is unuseable on this rom after a few hours, constantly freezes. Anyone else getting this?
(I tried clearing cache and all browser data)
thanks to all for the comments.
I'm doing a NAND backup right now and proceeding to flash in a few minutes (man this backup takes forever).
I'll try M-kernel, since my top priority is battery life.
Quick follow re. kernels;
can I switch kernes on the fly, ie; can I keep them both on root system and then proceed to overwrite kernels between reboots?
I can't imagine a situation where I would need additional buttery smoothness on demand, but it's always nice to have the options.
Are there any precautions I should take in terms of kernel co-existence? ie, any GAPPS I should flash, version of roms that dont play nice?
@Pierre118;
thanks for the screencap, that's almost what my dream desktop; I want the N10 landscape view,
. the controls in the middle, the pulldown menus at the top. (again, no plans on using PIE, at least not until I actually get a chance to test it).
last but no least, I'm following the instructions and a few youtube videos; the file to download seems a bit light to me; only 157MB. Is this correct? Is this the only file I need (ROM) plus the GAPPS, which are another 147MB.? seems awfully small...
You can indeed flash kernels on the fly. Just wipe cache/dalvik. Yes, those are about right for file sizes. Bare minimum would be the ROM and gapps for whatever version of android. Then for kernel, its a good idea to flash ROM and gapps then do a boot before flashing a third party kernel.
The most current nightly of pa is really good and has Bluetooth working without a patch.
Edit: FYI you'll need an app like trickster mod to adjust kernel settings. If you go with mkernel start by setting up with metalice's recommended settings, good battery life and performance. Then adjust from there after you get comfortable.

You can keep multiple kernels in the root folder, but I wouldn't recommend you changing kernels frequently. Find one you like and stick with it. Kernel performance improves with stability i.e., multiple charge cycles. Constantly changing kernels won't get you the best performance.
And stock ROMS are light. Compared to the Sense ROM I'm using on my One X (almost 500MB), you can see how heavy skinned versions of Android really are. And that's a trimmed down Sense ROM. Can you imagine how heavy the original skin was before it was trimmed??
Installed and loving it!!!
I'll try it out for a couple days before poking around the different kernels.
So I can't seem to find the way to get my screen to look like yours.
Do I need a launcher that will allow the app drawer at the bottom rather than the side?
I won't mind giving Nova Launcher or Apex another go.

Try phablet (700p on system ui)... Third party launchers are great though. I use apex and would never go back to stock now lol
Sent from my Paranoid 3.1 Nexus7 running M-Kernel
I looked up the options, the screen cap I shared is my current screen at 600p.
I see these options:
Under workspace, there's only phone (360p), phablet (600p) and tablet (1000p); I'm assuming you meant 600p.
I tried using 1000p, but it sends the menus to the bottom, and the drawer remains on the side.
Back when I was Stock 4.2.2 ROM I used Apex + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotateUltimate Rotation Tool.
One of the main reasons I wanted to try PA was to get the same layout without the extra software.
Is this possible?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I was able to replicate what you want using apex. Not sure if it can be done on stock launcher as I've been using apex since day one of owning my n7. It's not my normal layout so not set up right, hence why it looks odd, just showing that I did get it that way.
This is in phablet mode (some apps it's 700p, system is apparently 600, sorry )
Edit: I had to adjust launcher settings to do this, not just put it in phablet mode, again don't know much of the stock launcher, check its settings to see if you can adjust them to do this. I still will always suggest apex or Nova, stock launcher sucks

Go with Nova Launcher Prime, I'd say.
As for Paranoid Android, I love it. I've been running it with the Faux Ultimate Kernel and it is insanely good.
I already owned Nova Launcher from a Google Play sale months before. I finally went with it and haven't looked back.
I'm really loving PA.
Regarding kernels, I understand now that kernels improve with use. Should I be rebooting frequently at the beginning?
Has anyone had the impression that the kernel is great and then not so much?
I almost got 12 hours of use (actual screen time) after the first few days. Now I'm getting between 8 and 10 hours at most.

I wanted to know a bit more about kernel and thought I'd keep using this thread and keep the development PA thread as spam free as I can;
what is the default kernel I get when flashing PA 3.0 or 3.15? Is the kernel part of the ROM? is it ever with other ROMs?
how can I tell from system settings (or other system-reading apps) what kernel my N7 is currently using?

Some ROMs use default JB kernel, some use a tweaked version, and some include custom kernels from the beginning. Like My One X running ICJ uses NCX kernel by default. It will be mentioned in the OP/changelog if a ROM is using a custom kernel.
Two ways you can see the kernel currently on your device:
As mentioned above, go to settings > about and see under kernel version
Or if you are using Trickster Mod, it displays your kernel in the app as well.
Hey, i've been willing to try stock android for a while on my G2, but I've never been so adventurous. I left that for my Nexus 7.
I do have knowledge about the benefits and the nice add-ons that Paranoid, CM and etc brings, but I've been reluctant to make the change.
When I bought this phone months ago, I've quickly went into XDA to check the Original Androids, even before using the G2.
Every ROM I found back then had some "serious" flaw, like messed up camera (ported from N5), no quick-remote, bad battery life et al. So I just went on using the Stock G2 Android and guess what.. it's pretty nice. Fast and full of features.
I'm pretty comfortable with the CloudyG3 ROM right now, but I want to try something new.
Since my previous adventures with flashing ROM merrily were much time consuming, and I need this phone on working order 24/7, I'd like to hear your opinion regarding to changing from the Stock Android to a AOSP, CM Android. What do I lose? Does the quick remote still works? Is the camera as good as stock? Does the device gets faster or more battery efficient? What are the trade-offs?
Thanks!

Greetings, the trade offs from my experience of using Paranoid Android 4.4.4(based of cyanogenmod) is the loss of quick remote, slight difference in camera quality of using the Google camera, the quality using the Google camera is good but not great, it's like the app is reprogramming the true image quality of the lg g2 and programming it to shoot at 8 megapixels, I myself personally is still trying to find an app out there that performs good with my infared emitter on the g2, no luck, but simply put, you lose 90% if not 100% of the features that was put into the g2 when you flash a custom rom.
Besides the trade offs I mentioned, the battery life is performing very well for me
I really hope I helped you in your decision

Hey, thanks!
I feel like It'll be a rough transition, and I'll miss many features. I'm still pondering the losses and the gains. Thanks for letting me know about what won't work, I might try Paranoid this weekend, just to see how it performs. God bless Nandroid backups!

UPDATE: a new tradeoff from what I've experienced is the sound quality on Paranoid Android, it sounds very grainy, for example it sounds like a person talking loud with a mic, this is a software issue with Paranoid Android, I personally did not like that, so I returned to Stock and flashed a different ROM, this ROM is called "Mahdi", and the sound quality sounds so much better and clear, I can hear people clearly on the other line when I speak with them, I didn't get this experience with Paranoid Android, Paranoid Android sound quality when listening to the person on the other line sounds muffled, I find myself having to ask them to repeat what they've said.
Long Story Short: Paranoid Android's audio is not good and Mahdi ROM's is, so if you don't want to deal with this software issue with the audio, give " Mahdi ROM" a try.[emoji4][emoji4]

I came to this phone from a Nexus 4. Same as you I constantly toyed with that phone. I flashed Paranoid Android and Cyanogenmod both on this phone. I was so sorry I did. They just can not hold up to the stability of a solid stock rom. I presently am using Cloudyfa Cloudy Stock. Works great and since I'm not using ART presently I have a lot of Xposed running to customize and tweak the stock rom. Cloudyfa's Cloudy G3 rom is great too.
Tradeoffs.....
1) Not quite as stable.
2) Camera quality can not even compare to Xdabbebs mod which works best on Stock.
3) Missing features (that you may or may not use)
4) Really no reason to do it....
Good luck!

Yeah... I'm running Mahdi ROM here and.. well, it feels awkward. It feels like I'm losing, missing something. It is butter smooth, sure, but the stock ROM was also this. It doesn't have the copy/paste cache too, which I liked a lot. Camera quality is shameful, and from a device that commonly received random praises about photo quality from friends. I've found a mod that enabled QuickRemote back, but I couldn't stand using the G2 like that anymore, unfortunately.
Funny that I always used my Moto Atrix 4G, Galaxy S3 (these two works till today, and are incredibly fast!) and Nexus 7 with CyanogenMod and Paranoid, but it just feels wrong on the G2. LG surely did a great job there. I'm back to my G3 ROM, with a comfy, cozy, homey feel.
I won't go out in the wild anymore lol. (Maybe when the Nexus 7 is up and running again)
I came from a Nexus 4 aswell, and I had a Nexus 7v2 too, so like you I'm used to the stock feeling of Android.
However, I don't find AOSP based Roms for the LG G2 to give out the same performance they give on Nexus devices.
It feels out of place, like something is missing.
After almost regreting trading my Nexus 4 for the LG G2, I found Cloudy G3 Rom and I've been happy since then. It's a great Rom, very stable, battery life is good and you keep all the G2 stock features such as Knock Code.
Personaly I think it is the best Rom for this device so far.

Just to not let this post die, I like pretty much Stock
Besides, every ROM have different things, and depends on the users to catch'em all! (Wild Pokémon theme song suddently appears)
I think that you'll have to compromise on battery and performance with this phone. It's hard to have both performing well. I will only run stock based roms because they offer the best compromise. Lexodus rom with Stellar kernel along with Xposed and Greenify gave me the best all around. Lexodus and Stellar alone made the phone scream but did hurt the battery performance a little.

I find Minimal OS very stable and smooth. I have been using it around 20 days and observed no FCs as of yet. Battery backup is very good. In addition, I manually set CPU governors to improve the backup. I don't play much of games, but Hay day runs very smooth on this ROM, just the way it runs on stock. Talking about customizations, this ROM supports Layers, hence you can download the Layers themes from play store and customize the ROM.

Yes I'm also using that one and I like it so far. Haven't tried any other than stock rom though. It got all the additions I need to be happy. Except vibration adjustments.
Ps.: When I change dpi setting to a lower dpi, the font and everything gets smaller. Which confuses my brain . I mean, shouldnt lower dpi mean lower resolution therefore bigger font etc.?

You could try sokp, its a very stable rom with tons of features and customisation options while stille being smooth. Battery backup is not the best but i get through my day with regular use. Since its aosp you can flash custom kernels made for cm12.1 and aosp. But in my experience it slowed my device down so yeah... Atm it has no xposed compatebility because it has an heavily customized ART, plus its based on android 5.1.1r10 i believe. Extra features are multi window and slim recents and a lot more. I'm realy pleased with it but it may or may not be for you .
Best of luck,

I agree with you concerning this ROM overall. I used it for a couple of weeks and was very impressed with it. Compared to a half dozen other ROM'S I have tried it won hands down. However, I ran into a glitch with a critical app upon which I rely for my job and unfortunately I had to go back to AOSP. I doubt that the problem will be resolved since the app is a very specialized app that most users on this site won't ever use.
Given that, I am extremely happy with 5.1.1 AOSP and would give it my number 1 rating. It is stable, smooth, responsive and the battery life a fairly decent.. And ALL of my apps work well with it.

Sure! It's Jobulator, which is a substitute teacher job assignment app. I sub-teach in the local school district and all potential jobs come through that app. It is set to a given interval (by the user) to check for new jobs that teachers have posted. When a job is listed it will give an alert notification and (ideally) I can then accept or reject the job. However with Minimal OS I would get the alarm but only a blank screen, (no "accept/reject" buttons). It took a while to show up since the first two weeks of school I was able to accept on my tablet and desktop (strictly by luck). But in several instances I was away from home. Consequently I was unable to accept some jobs before another sub grabbed them. So I went back to AOSP-luk and have had no issues.
In all honesty, I have never been dissatisfied with AOSP but the fact that Minimal has less bloat appealed to me so I tried it out. I see no difference in performance, battery life or stability with either ROM, just the issue mentioned above makes AOSP the winner for me.

Stock 5.0.2 debolated with xposed. or BlissPOP v4.0
Infinitive OS, excellent performance. Nice battery backup( 2 days of normal use, 4:30 hr of SOT, half WiFi, half 3g, it also sleeps like a baby). Only one bug, sometimes you can't wake up the phone with the block key, not a problem if you choose to wake it up with volume keys and after that block key works again. It just happens randomly.

I also tried Resurrection Remix. It is loaded with tons of features and customizations. It runs good but I faced some minor glitches randomly, so I would say not as smooth as Cyanogenmod or AOSP. Battery performance is better than stock, close to cyanogenmod, but not as good as AOSP. Plus, on my personal view, I feel that lots of customizations kind of ruined the overall look for the ROM. You can't get the look of stock Android on this ROM. There and bold and italic fonts are used in the ROM which hampers the overall look and visual experience, but this is actually no problem as this ROM supports Cyanogenmod theme engine.

I'd say "stability" rather than "quality". Quality is subjective and I think the quality of CM apps (excluding camera) are preferable to LG.

by quality i did meant camera.not of apps.those who dont use camera much should go for cm 13.those who uses camera alot should stick to stock or stock based roms.also those who like lg knock features ir blaster etc should stay with stock.as they r not available on cm13.ir blaster is available but also.

Yeah. Camera has improved a lot on CM recently. The only advantages to stock now are:
Laser Autofocus (quicker focussing)
4K recording
Slo-mo video
I think that's it now. Actual quality of shots is pretty much on par.
Is Cm13 stable and safe to install? I think i read some brick questions in CM13 thread about bug or somethink else i cant remember.
Yeah the quality of the shots do look good on CM for me, its another story for low light, but then again, that's not a strength of the hardware right? The IR blaster works for me on CM with Peel Smart Remote. I like the look of the LG Setup, personally I like it with the Materialistik icon pack. Every time I go back to an LG ROM I just go back to CM.

Officially it's not yet classified as "stable" but I've been using it since January and with the exception of a few bugs like connecting to Bluetooth fitness trackers and the volume, both of which are now fixed, my experience has been excellent.
There was a lot of talk about an EMMC bug going around but that seems to only affect people whose last official ROM was KitKat (4.4).
To avoid it (and this hasn't been confirmed but is widely recognised as the way to prevent it) boot to recovery, do a full wipe in TWRP 2.8.7, flash the stock LG Marshmallow ROM, boot and go through the motions, shutdown, boot to recovery, full wipe, flash CM13 and GAPPS. Enjoy.

Yeah I think the low light issue is there on LG and CM. I guess the laser focus on LG Stock helps with focusing in low light but there's no noticeable difference in the quality of the final image between LG and CM.

Does the EMMC bug only applies to cm13? when you said flash the stock LG Marshmallow ROM did you mean this? and what do you mean when you said go through the motions? sorry for the nood questions I just want to make sure before flashing cm.

That's OK. I don't know huge amounts about the EMMC bug, I don't think anyone really does.
By "go through the motions" I just meant install the ROM and go through the setup - timezone, WiFi, etc...
As far as I know the bug is due to the different way Lollipop and Marshmallow are partitioned from KitKat.
Just make sure you use TWRP and remember to wipe

Hard to say because different factors can affect it and I'm what I'd call an intermittent user - pick it, put it down, etc - but so far today I've used nearly 50% in the past 7.5 hours including 1.5 hours of screentime (1 hour of which was playing a graphics intensive game on a fairly high brightness).

Officially it's not yet classified as "stable" but I've been using it since January and with the exception of a few bugs like connecting to Bluetooth fitness trackers and the volume, both of which are now fixed, my experience has been excellent.
There was a lot of talk about an EMMC bug going around but that seems to only affect people whose last official ROM was KitKat (4.4).
To avoid it (and this hasn't been confirmed but is widely recognised as the way to prevent it) boot to recovery, do a full wipe in TWRP 2.8.7, flash the stock LG Marshmallow ROM, boot and go through the motions, shutdown, boot to recovery, full wipe, flash CM13 and GAPPS. Enjoy.

Thanks a lot mate. Just installed over 6.0 Stock KDZ and works perfect. And i love it! Since i've been a Nexus user since Gnexus, CM gone better and better. Probably i'll never go back stock again. UI is super smooth and light as a feather. I hope i dont encounter weird bugs.

I'm on stock lollipop so I should just full wipe and flash cm13 and Gapps and I won't get the EMMC bug right?

In theory yes. Lollipop was my last official LG build and I've not had any issues.

I was on Marshmallow and after full wipe I have installed cm-13 nightly and (for now) everything works fine.
I use only 2 days stock Marshmallow - only system takes 1.4 GB RAM, but CM takes only 750MB. Battery live is for me better on CM as on stock and when I use android, It's going much more faster as on stock.
For me, I will not return to stock.
