Custom Rom recommendations - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my LG G2, and would like to install a custom rom on it. I have been overwhelmed with the number of the roms that i have found for the G2. Some well known roms such as CM11 and Paranoid Android, and many others. I wanted to ask for recommendations on which roms to install, and whether it's best to install an AOSP based rom or stick with a stock based rom such as Cloudyflex or the Optimus rom. I'd appreciate any help or if someone could point out the feautures and benefits of each rom. Sorry if it's a noobish question

I've tried many, both stock based and AOSP. I've decided to stick with Pardus. It's very stable and battery life is great.

Cm 11 just right from cyanogenmod site for aosp or cloudy g3 get my vote.
Dormanx kernel is good on g2 based Roma with 2.8 ghz overclock, haven't tried it on g3 Rom yet.

Try cloudyg3 rom.. Amazing UI like g3
All apps ported from it
Amazing battery life =)

Thank you guys for your replies. I tried CM11 but would also like to try cloudyflex 2.4. It says that If I used an Aosp based rom, that I should install the KK baseband, but I don't know which baseband to use? I'm using the d802 G2 but there are multiple basebands for the d802. Does anyone know which one I should choose?

And also how to install this tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630242 and is it good ?
Until yesterday i used Prime Kitkat by szymel with pure performance x and it worked fine, some little lad.
Yesterday I installed CM 11 By Cr3pt and satisfaed for now.Looks little smother without any tweaks.
The best way is to try both, and see whish is better for you cause they are very similar.

If you search perfs only, take a look to this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601182

how to fixed?

I'm a little bit confused as to which ROMS use 4.4 kk kernel? CM, PA, Mahdi?

Hello everyone!
I'm currently on CM11 nightlies on my d800 and I'm a tad bit confused as to what is going on with the 4.4 kernels. What AOSP ROM's are currently using 4.4 and not the JB kernel?
Does that mean CM11 is falling behind because it's still using the JB kernel?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!!

There is a list that usually has [4.x.x] in the Roms description: [INDEX][REPO][AIO] LG G2 - ROMs | Kernels | MODs | Recoveries [NEW-UPDATED][5.5.14]
By the way, [4.x.x] is the ANDROID ROM version (Jelly Bean, Kit Kat etc), not the KERNEL version.

I think the OP is confused.. Maybe he's trying to ask the same as i..
1- What are the AOSP ROMs that are actually using the 4.4 LG Sources?
2- We all know that PA is using the 4.4 LG Sources (at least, Houstonn has started to merge them).. So, what ROMs are using Houstonn's source code?
Anyone?

This is exactly what I'm asking! I didn't know how exactly to type it out.
I don't have a direct answer. There is the XDA Kernels, but there isn't much there.
I guess searching would be the best thing to do.
Why the worry about the kernels anyway?

Mahdi 2.5 release 1
Paranoid Android 4.3+ betas
Furnace kernel 2.2.x
Those are the only G2 ROMs/kernels that use the full 4.4.x source tree, drivers and binary blobs. You need to use the LG 4.4.x baseband with these ROMs.
All other ROMs and kernels for the G2 use the 4.4.x Android sources with the 4.2.x kernel sources, drivers, and binary blobs. You need to use either the LG 4.2.x baseband, or the 4.4.x baseband modified by dr87.
You cannot mix kernels between ROMs if they use different source trees for the kernels.
And is you use the wrong baseband for the ROM, you will lose sensors, GPS, and auto-rotate; or it will bootloop.

Only those two ROMs?
So far, yes, those are the only two.

[Q] Recommend a ROM

Hi guys,
My LG G2 (D802) is getting a bit old Instead of buying a new phone, I thought I'd prolong it's life a little by rooting it and installing a new ROM.
I like stock, but my battery life is much worse now than when I bought it.
Can you recommend a ROM for me? It has to be sort of stable for daily use. I guess the Lollipop ROMs are not stable yet?
Something like an "optimized" stock ROM + root etc. would probably fit the bill until stable Lollipop ROMs are available.
What would you recommend?
I recommend Liquid Smooth, the milestone version. One of my favorite roms.
If you tired of the stock rom.just try the cloudyg3 you will have a g3 experience in your compact g2
Just like to buy a new phone.
Its stable as rock (tested 1.3 and 2.0) didn't try the 2.1 yet..
When you Like Stock then you should check out cloudystock or cloudyg3 when you want aosp with more features and more designs then i would highly recommend you Mahdi Rom
Happy Flashing?

xdabbee different versions

just tried a couple of the LP aosp roms and think they need a lttle more work
i always come back to xdabbed g2 2.2 because i just flash 26a bootstack and restore dl mode and newr twrp then the included
anyhow i alwas see xdabbed g2 2.3 and also a vs982.5
what are the diff?
i feel like im using an old version as its 2.2 and not 2.3 or 2.5
what isthe correct one or best or newest or ya know.....whats the diff?
thnx
xdabbebs vs980 2.2 and up is a stock g2 kitkat ROM. vs982.5 is a g3 port and an entirely different ROM. Its very good. Knock code works too edit: BTW they are both kitkat
both or all 3?
so is vs980 2.2 being left for vs 980 2.3 if you dont do vs982.5?

Fastest STOCK BASED ROM for LG G2

Hello everyone,
From few weeks Im using Cloudy G2 2.2 ROM + Dorimanx kernel with performance mode - and unfortunately this ROM is very slow, few days ago I bought another LG G2 D802 for my friend, it comes with android 5.0.2 stock. Of course this system is completely clean but difference with speed to cloudy g2 2.2 (andorid 4.4.2) is very big. This 5.0.2 rom is much faster, Im asking this question because i have read a lot opinion that older cloudy rom and older stock based roms are more stable and faster than lolipop. But now I see that is not true.
I need stock based rom because of camera (for aosp is very poor).
Which stock based ROM is fastest for LG G2? Thanks in advance for your opinions
cloudy 3.3 + xceed kernel imo
I will try this ROM, any other suggestions ?
From my experience the fastest stock based ROM on the G2 D802 is CloudyStock 2.7. Kitkat is much faster and memmory management is night and day comparing Kitkat and Lollipop. Stock Kitkat based ROMS are optimized to run much better on G2 than Lollipop ROMs. Its interesting that Cloudy 2.2 is running slow for you, maybe try to reflash and use the default kernel that comes with it without changing any kernel settings. This is the ROM I am using ATM and it is one of the fastest. Also try MIUI 7 based on stock Kitkat, Cloudyflex, Cloudystock as I mentioned and other stock Kitkat based roms if you want speedy and snappy performance. Cloudy 3.3 is also good if you want Lollipop but it will bog down after a while and only data wipe can restore its snappyness although frequent reboots can improove memmory management. Dont use Dorimanx kernel it always slows my phone down no matter what settings I use, IDK why. Also if you are using G2 or G3 tweaksbox try disabling it, some settings can slow down your phone. The same goes for Xtana and similar apps thet change systemui and framework apk. Unicon app for changing icons also slows down any OS. Try to run as stock as possible for the snappiest performance.
Good idea to disable g2/g3 tweaks - I will try it, As I remember, on original kernel system was similiar slow. Maybe I just need full format all data/syste/ etc and install clean rom from beginning. Also I will try to record speed of my phone just to comparsion, maybe it is normal but just for me means slow? I dont think so.

I dont think so either. Also when installing choose odexed in aroma, this also affects ROM speed, app openning speed and boot time. Deodexed is not necessery as you can easily theme anything with G3 Tweaksbox even if your rom is odexed. Try shuffling trough D802 development section and you will find a couple of great Kitkat based roms like Coqueror rom or stock 20f prerooted kitkat rom.

Sorry but it's not clear, you mean that is better to install odexed or deoexed rom on beginning?

Its better to install odexed ROM.
Best thing you can do really is flashing a non stock rom...the difference is insane. The major drawback is the camera...the quality is considerably lower. Battery life is more or less the same! Stock lollipop from LG is so bad...even with xceed kernel
You are absolutely right! I know this, camera is just one reason which keeps me with stock rom. I used cyan 11 before and diffrence was huge, I mean camera is so bad but speed sooo good. I think lg g2 is not complete phone for me because of this. Camera is something very important for most of the ppl, and this one for aosp rom is not even worth to rating...
