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.

Lao Haong (spelling?) has a G3 port also.
LG have redone the gui and it's rather good.

Just swapped my spring and now looking to root and overclock to about 1200mhz or less if n64oid will run smooth. What is the most basic way I can go about doing this and which is the most basic rom I should use? I don't care much about all these crazy bells and whistles. I use about 20 apps and that's it.
Any help or direction would be awesome.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Glite it super light weight, fast and is stock overclocked to 1GHz n64oid runs great on my phone. I find ram is the biggest problem when I run it but since I converted to ext4 and flashed this ROM it runs great.
What you want is the safest root method. Use the method from the Wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Use the root method from the wiki. Do all your reading before you start so you can reduce the chance that you mess something up.
After that, install the custom ROM of your choice. If you want something AOSP-like then go cm7 or one of the other stock based. Most custom ROMs allow overclocking to at least 1.2ghz.

Ya I hear cm7 thrown around a lot so that's a custom rom that a ton of people use?
I have rooted 3 phones in my lifetime, 8929 att, kaiser, motorola cliq and this will be my 4th so ill read up heavily and do this Saturday night after I get everything ready. I've heard the whole g2 root is more difficult then most because of the added security to this specific device. Thx for all the help guys.

Yea its harder than many, but definitely not super difficult. The guides are detailed and have rooted thousands of devices.
CM7 is the most popular custom ROM by far and is available on dozens of devices. For this reason there are lots of good features and bugs are rare in stable builds.

half you stupid posts mean nothing.
If you want speed, definitely choose a CyanogenMod-based ROM. Don't go with custom UIs like Sense or MIUI because they really slow the phone down.

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

Yeah, too bad. I used 10.1.3 I think it was for a while. Over the last month or so I've tried a few out here on the boards. The unofficial CM11 is really nice but eats my battery away. I was using one from August, then upgraded last week to the October one and it was much bugier. Right now I'm using SlimKat... I think I like CM better overall but SlimKat is really nice. I've run into a few bugs, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons won't light on notification. That's the one feature that seems not to work that I really miss.. But SlimKat is nice enough and gives me twice the battery life as the unofficial CM11.

Ooh, I didn't know anyone was going to do a Lollipop ROM. That's exciting, thanks! Also never heard of CyanFox, I'll have to check that out. I really hope there's a SlimPop (or whatever they call it) ROM for our phone... I'm really loving the performance and battery life on this.
Also, if anyone could help me out... what effect battery life? Is it mostly the apps and base system, or can the kernel itself be a big part of it?
Something im sure not just i but many others are wondering, how fast does the g3 actuqlly perform? Of course it may be buggy and what not but is it safe to say that it is much faster albeit having this high resolution?

There are aosp rom out there for the G3. Also Pac-Man is running on the T-mobile version. Also from the way it sounds they are pretty damn fast.
Be looking forward to running some aosp on the LS990 hopefully soon.
Oh, ok, my bad, I was just trying to figure out what he meant, and I didn't know there were any running builds of aosp, but really, I have no complaints for the g3 as far as speed wise, I froze alot of bloat, and it's not laggy at all, ive heard that the 2 biggest things for lag are the launcher and the keyboard, and I use action launcher and swiftkey, so I froze home and the keyboard app, and this thing had never been faster

Make sure to mention the carrier you are on. The lg g3 is for international and all carriers so no one is confused. ::thumbs up::
Stock LG software isn't that great, I'm working on a speed optimised ROM, you should see it in the LG dev thread soon.
So I don't own a g3 but I do own an lg optimus l90 and have built PAC ROM for it. The camera and Bluetooth are easy. For Bluetooth make sure you have the bluedroid.cfg from stock. And for both make sure you have the dtb set up right. You should usually build both v1 and two of the dtb and combine them using dtb tool. Also on oirs the open_cis dtbs worked better

Protip: before claiming something is 'easy' go ahead and spend a little time trying to do it. There's nothing easy about the camera, at least not in comparison to previous LG devices.
For everyone else, just an FYI: there are two different wifi/bt chipsets depending on your variant.
Broadcom: T-Mobile (D851) and Sprint (LS990)
Pronto: Verizon (VS985), International (D855), AT&T (D850)
We must be sure to include what variant we are using when we report/debug wifi and bt issues because they are quite a bit different.

okay it was simple for me. the issue for those is simple. you need a different build per variant.because the camera is in the dtb so for it to change on chip sets youll neded to changed kernel and dtb so each variant will need a new build (p.s. @invisiblek i like your profile pic kupo)

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.

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 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.

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.
