This phone's future... - G3 General

Hi there,
I would like to talk about this phones future. Three aspects should be considered:
- This version of Android provided by LG
- Future updates of Android (5+) provided by LG
- Modified stock ROMs provided by developers
- built custom ROMs provided by developers (CM, MIUI, AOSP...)
Would like to hear your opinion on this topics.
This is my personal view on these.
- This version of Android provided by LG
I believe that we will get few more updates on 4.4.x software that will give us smoother performance, and fix some bugs (aux, etc.)
Also hope that we will get updatet camera firmware that will allow 1080p @ 60fps recording.
- Future updates of Android (5+) provided by LG
Well this is something that LG is very good at. Lets compare few INTERNATIONAL flagships of some most recognized developers (SAMSUNG, HTC, LG).

I'm most disappointed in SAMSUNG because of whole S3 thing, they didn't put kit kat on it because of "hardware limitation". Here LG took very good turn with "G" series. I believe that G/G2/G3 will al get android 5 (at least G2/G3 for sure), and let's not forget porting of G3 roms on G2, very nice!
- Modified stock ROMs provided by developers
They are here for some variants, and in few weeks should be very popular, what do I expect from them: Tweaked launcher, bug fix, moded camera, implemented xposed, root, etc...
- built custom ROMs provided by developers (CM, MIUI, AOSP...)
Well this one is hard... On one hand we have great hardware with available sources, good developers and very affordable flagship. On the other hand we have locked bootloader... Here I would like to hear opinion of some developers. How likely is that we will get custom recovery, moded kernel, etc...

Great information, and I hope LG keeps its going! I have high hopes for this one. I think we will get the customer recovery soon enough... pray to the gods at XDA / LG!

check the Dev section for full TWRP "tethered" recovery for D855
TWRP is also on the Tmobile D851
and there is the CWM app (neither here nor there in terms of a proper recovery, but is available all the same )
Just hope for some AOSP/CM ect support soon, now we can flash on a few variants fingers crossed it will draw in more Devs to play with the hardware

Well to be fair it doesn't look like any phone with the dual core S4 processor or Tegra 3 has KitKat. Your chart shows the Optimus G with it but that phone has the newer quad core s4 pro and an extra GB of ram over the international versions of the other phones.

As soon as the device source is out on CM + the kernel source you can build any rom (beanstalk, AOSB, Omni, CM, slimrom etc)
Its just a matter of time now, I say 3-4 weeks until we see an alpha build of CM for our device

The kitkat ROMs on the S3 are running smooth as silk. I think the G3 will have a good future ahead of it. A great future if the bootloader gets unlocked. A mediocre future if the upcoming Note 4 somehow gets bootloader unlocked first. I personally picked this up because it was the first phone since the S3 that had significant hardware upgrades and all the features but wasn't locked down by Knox or Google's version of Knox coming with android L. The S3 and G2 are able to keep users satisfied much longer specifically because of the ability to flash custom ROMs and kernels. That is the main consideration after community support in my opinion when gauging the future.

HTC announces ICS for desire HD, desire S and incredible S.

This only leaves samsung and motorola as not paying attention to their weaker phones.
HTC, LG and sony ericsson all giving most of their phones ICS.
And yet samsung wont give it to galaxy S? Well you say it's older than desire HD? Well the galaxy S plus and galaxy W are not and are actually more powerful than these HTC phones.
It's always arrogance that leads to the doom of the leader. Samsung really has to get their act straight if they want to remain android leader, there is simply no justification now for not giving ICS to their single core devices.
So, who cares?
Look around, there is plenty of ICS ROMs to install for SGS. And most of them are stable enough for daily use.
When you tasted some ROM, that is not Samsung-based, you're never going back. At least I'm not.
So, I really don't give a slightest f**k if ICS won't be official for SGS.
This is probably still the largest dev community for any of the android based phones, and although the phone is almost two years old, there is still a lot of development going on. I'm happy with my SGS, I'm quite happy with Samsung as the company itself too.

Lets not kid ourselves please. Once you get official OS you get even better ROMs.
Sure galaxy S is 2 years old but S plus isnt and doesnt even have that good ROMs so what about the S+ users?
Samsung is the most profitable android manufacturer, there is simply no excuse for this period.

Wh00t?
As I've written: once I've tasted aosp-based ROMs, I never went back to Samsungs' one. And I'm pretty sure a large number of users here would agree with me.
p.s.
maybe RIL sw is somehow better from the start in an official ROM if a new version of OS was released, but it gets polished anyways
p.s.2
you should really have posted here
I don't care about Plus or W, at the time I bought my S the HTC choice was the Desire. It's not getting ICS either and even if it did I would still prefer SGS hardware and dev community.

CM9 is awesome,
no crappy Samsung's ROM anymore.
Russians drilled down to the arctic lake!!!!!!!!
And this is common in same way as the @OP's post...
But I care, i want to have a stock rom ICS than cook rom,
my next phone is not samsung.
See for you guys its okay, for people like me with the galaxy s 4g, we are screwed. We don't have enough developers to port ics. I still hope that we will get cm7 or miui but ics, lets not gonna kid ourselves on getting that for his phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The choice when I bought the phone was HTC Desire or SGS. Boy am I glad I went for the SGS! Stop getting your knickers in a twist, there are plenty of ICS options. I've been running CM9 since the beginning of January with virtually no problems.
My next phone probably will be a Samsung, or whichever has the biggest development scene.

I agree with you, some people here don't understand greatness of stock ROMs
This isn't even a small argument talking about GS. But indeed the Plus version should receive ICS. Can't say that LG is better then Samsung at updating their phones, I mean sure the 2x gets it, but it's only one year old. The DHD is the only older phone getting ICS here. Nice move from HTC. I just can't say Samsung is worse than HTC at updating their phones.

Samsung is now officially worse than HTC at updating unless they update the galaxy S plus and galaxy W.
Even the $200 xperia mini is getting ICS which is from every aspect inferior to the samsung phones not getting ICS.
LG is also bringing ICS to optimus black which is the weakest phone officially supported for ICS. Ofcourse LG's ROMs actually suck but thats another story.
You guys are really too greedy. I have a SGS+ and I would love to have some custom development (CM, ICS).
We have just now a CM 7 port in work and it will take a long time to finish it, before even thinking of CM9, ICS (no graphic driver, how the hell should the ports work flawlessly)?
Our phone isn't even 1 year old, so it's just twice frustrating for us: no custom development, no official updates.

MIUI V4 Discussion thread

The I9100 V4 Beta from China
As you are aware, Galnet MIUI Scotland, are waiting on V4 to become more stable before we started to release them. Well now might just be the time! We have recently been giving access to the Internal V4 I9100 build, and wow, is all we can say!
Firstly we can say straight away, there is no Cyanogenmod coding to be found, this includes the Kernel, everything is on top of the Samsung Framework, which means that everything works out the box!
From playing around with it for the last hour, I’ve already seen the potential for further development, and this allows for more than just a few additional tweaks, this allows for Samsung applications to be added should the user base demand it.
There is English and Chinese translations already included, only a few minor translations are required, meaning it’s far easier to maintain. The default camera is that from Samsung, and there is also Samsung Media Scanner included, which means SD reading is super fast!
Sywpe is included as a keyboard option, and from what I’ve seen and messed around with, the Music player is so sweet, MIUI have really gone to town!
The main advantage of MIUI over CM now seems to be the fact that once Samsung patches firmware issues, we can only assume that MIUI will patch it instantly, this mean no more waiting for things to be fixed, or hours of work from me trying to find where the fault is…!
Oh and one thing I really like, is MIUI have removed all the Samsung branding, meaning it truly feels like ICS with the MIUI feel we have all come to love, this truly is a gorgeous rom, and I can only praise the Chinese Developers for what they have achieved.
I will end this post by providing some screenshots, I hope you like them:

This is fantastic news! MIUI has really grown, basing it on Samsung's Framework seems like a smart plan. Really looking forward to taking my phone to the next level
and what about the browser? will have hardware acceleration?
love miui but in gb version the camera and browser made come back to stock/kitchen roms

As soon as Samsung releases their Kernel Source there will be Custom Kernels just like there are Coustom Kernels for Samsung based Gingerbread Roms.

Cyanogenmod vs Modified Stock FW - which do you use?

Hey everyone,
I didn't want to be disrespectful and post in a developers thread specific to a custom firmware, nor CM, so I wanted to start this thread to get some input. There are a lot of great roms out, ARHD among others, which are modifications of the default stock Samsung firmware.
There is also the possibility to run the latest version of Android in stock AOSP by using Cyanogenmod 10.1.
Historically I have always used CM10.1 or AOKP on my devices as I switch frequently, and they have become the "brands" I know, and I like how it is not bloated. However, on buying my Note I thought it might be worth checking out stock based firmwares, especially for the IR blaster which doesn't work in CM10.1.
Has anyone here alternated between them? What made you switch to one or the other? I'm curious to get some input from others on why they made the decision they did specifically for this device.
Thanks!
EDIT: It seems most of the note features work fine in CM10.1 as well - are there any other things I am missing out on if I go CM10.1, other than the IR Blaster? I'm sure it is just a novelty that will get old quick, but still. Given I haven't used stock extensively I am not sure if I am missing out on anything else.
There are plenty of threads like this around.. I prefer stock because of the IR blast and mulit window feature.. also stock is louder with the noozxoide mod.. The reasons for CM10 is More customization, its faster than stock, Themes, and its 4.2...
Thanks - if you have links to the others I would like to give them a read, but I couldn't find any direct comparisons on XDA, especially for this tablet. The most I found was a "what firmware do you use" for the SGS2.
Im not about to look for them but here is 1...

Im not sure if cyanogenmod support the small apps ( dual or cascade ) . Im using custom stock fimware on my sgn10.1 such as Android Revolution HD, to fully use the advantage of multitasking.
But for my old handphone, I prefer cyanogenmod. You know why.
I would stick with stock. I think the cm team does agreat job but when it comes to my note 10.1 they lack ,there is something very buggy about them when it comes to 2d and 3d rendering this is the one thing I have noticed that are not based off stock roms. Things like sketch book video playback and gaming seem to fluctuate in fps but try it out and see for your self, other then that cm is a great

Stock ROM (CMC5), only rooted, not even DeOdexed (I'd rather have speed vs. themeing).
same, rooted stock for me. CM10 is nice, but the lack of multi window is the killer for me. For me, modified roms dont have anything special to make me want to switch to them.

This is what makes the Note 10.1 so special... Even the ICS rom it came with out of the box was close to what I wanted and needed. People only started complaining when others were getting JB and they weren't.
Add root access Samsung and it would be (almost) perfect - there's always something you want or need that won't be in the stock rom.
So saying, I'm still gonna play around with custom roms too... Never being satisfied and chasing perfection is part of being human, that's why XDA was created....
Stock is the best... !

With cm10.1 my benchmark is 4700 ish, with stock rom I run about 6200 I think thats is proof enough witch is better not to mention the whole multi Window that I find I use a lot on my tablet unlike my phone the tablet has enough screen space to appreciate it.

I am quite pleased with it once I ran the compatibility pack and battery mod (%). It runs quite well and I have no complaints, other than a rather bulky notification pull-up bar. Performance is pretty good. As another poster indicated, though, there is a slight delay when switching between apps using the pop-up menu. Battery life seems a bit better after a few days usage too.

I own many different tabblets, on this one its perfect out of the box, no wifi, no sod, no market or any other weird problems. when you do get one that runs fine then your battery drains fast. Always a trade off, so I go with stock and no root. Seems root is causing problems and now no root and no problems.

Rooting any device won't ever cause any problems that aren't user error.

I used CM on all of my other devices but have had no reason to use it on the Note 10.1. I just rooted the stock ROM and have not really missed CM much on the Note.
well, i'd rather use the stock rom than the CM, i have tried the CM10.1 but you know, the Multi Windows and hand writing and the IR blaster had been missed, so, after all, i have to go back to stock rom, ít' simply, a bit slower but, well, it come with full features

[guide] top 3 xperia x8 roms

Hello guys,
I realize that i am not a recognized developer or anything like that but i just wanted to share with you guys my opinion on the top xperia x8 roms
NOTE: ALL of these roms are compatible with nAa-14 kernel, so yes you guessed it, they are all android 2.3.7. Lets just admit it ICS and JB roms are great at the beginning but become incredibly laggy as you use them for longer.
If you have the kernel, fantastic, if you dont, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415012
SO HERE WE GO TOP 3
NO. 3 MiniCM7 2.2.2
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
PROS: this rom is just brilliant. It is completely fast and stable. It is rigged with android 2.3.7. Great for gaming. Best avarage gingerbread rom. Comes with cyanogenmod settings. Working radio.basically working everything. Good battery life
CONS: some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated. Annoying installation: gapps not included, separate download

PROS: this rom is very stylish. Looks a lot like the iphone IOS7. Almost everything working. Great performance. Great battery life. Great for those who love iPhones but purchased an android instead.
CONS: the radio is working (I think) , if you know how to use it, (i dont). Some may not like this rome as there is no app drawer, just like the iphone. Some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated.
MY OWN SCREEN SHOTS:
NO 1. JELLYBREAD V4.5

INTRO & PROS: have you ever wanted a rom on your x8 which just satisfies all your movile needs. This rom is absolute perfection. With a fully functional radio, high speed graphics, great for 2D, 3D and HD games. All features on this rom are fully functional.it never lags, I MEAN NEVER. I use this as my own daily rom more than the other two. HAVE YOU ALWAYS WNTED TO USE JELLY BEEN ON YOUR X8 BUT FOUND ROMS SUCH AS MINICM10 TOO LAGGY? Well this my friend is the rom for you. It combines the conplete Jellybean interface but using android version 2.3.7 (Gingerbread). This rom is very smooth. One sentence to describe this rom : holy sh*t, i found just what i was looking for.
CONS: Some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated. But other than i cannot think of anything else
MY OWN SCREENSHOTS:
Now to wrap things up. If you have any more suggestions or roms for me to try out and review here , pm me or just comment bellow.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS THREAD. I you agree with my opinions or just likd what you read, dont forget to hit that thanks button
one of the best roms.....
I tryied mini cm and jelly bread both are awesome roms on x8....apart from these roms prime hd is one of awesome roms which is full speed up at 600mhz and with a good interface..i recommend you to add it and you also try it once.....:laugh::laugh:
The only thing of prime hd is its a little bit older....

Where is gdx? Also, what is/are the qualities needed for a good rom? Performance? App compatibility? Appearance? Features? what about kernels? there are more kernels than just naa's. What about roms for people with locked bootloaders? I'd say there is NO BEST ROM. Period. But if you're going to make a list anyway, you need to make it clear where you based your choices.
For example:
no gb/ics/jb rom can match stock or froyo roms when it comes to performance. Yes, froyo is outdated, but isn't gb as well? And more often than not, apps that work on gb work on froyo too.
no gb/froyo rom can match jb roms for app compatibility. Yes, they (specially froyo) outclass jb/ics roms when it comes to performance, but is performance the only basis?
Gb roms are somewhat in the middle, and does not really excel at anything compared to roms on other android versions.
If i had to rate it, i'd have
1. Minicm7 2.2.2 - naa 14
2. Gdx - alfs
3. Froyobread/froyopro
A cm10-based rom would have to be in the top 5 purely for app compatibility, but the list would be dominated by cm7 and froyo roms.
Prime hd is older, but still better than something newer ROMS, like nexus optimus, ixperia x8 etć
sorry OP, but you ranking is incompatible with the truth. You forget for old better projećts.
Hey guys, these are just my opinions of what the top 3 are (as i said at the top of the thread). Opinions cannot be false. Compare gdx to minicm7. What is the difference? Actually i found that gdx has a lot of missing features. FROYO has the same performance as gingerbread, and gb is more updated, so why bother with froyo. As i said in the thread, ics and jb have slow performance and that is why they are not in top 3. They probably would come in the top 10. For people who havent unlocked bootloader, they should look for another thread because i did say that they are all naa-14.
Guys, please re-read the forum rules again... "Best ROM/kernel/mod/.." threads are not allowed on xda

Thanks for your understanding

So it appears the next iteration of CM is already starting to roll out... and we don't even have a fully working 11:silly:
Cyanogenmod-11-m12
Damn that was fast by CM. Maybe now that we have Bump! we will soon-ish see proper support from CM? They support far more obscure models than G3 so I'm at least hopeful.

An excellent point.CM has builds for almost every LG that has come out:good: So for sure, the G# is not far behind.

Oh I am so on this! CM12 is going to be sick
Does anybody has a word on the official CM11 release? I got a feeling the curent (unofficial) one is a bit buggy.

Official or unofficial, all CM versions being ported to a new device goes through "buggy". That's why the current version is BETA.
LG has done a really bad job at Android 5.0. It almost looks exactly the same. CyanogenMod 12 will at least have Material Design so I'm looking forward to its release.

I don't see this happening. Any changes to the boot image would mean it needs to be re-Bumped, and relying on a third-party like this is a precedent that I don't think CyanogenMod will want to set.
Do any of you guys know of a TWRP themes thread somewhere in some forum? Somewhere we can get a nice compilation of the themes? I'd search the forum but I figured maybe someone has it bookmarked or something!
---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------
Also, has anybody heard if LG plans to update its stock apps to Material Design? All the stock apps on the L stock roms are just the same old crap.
PSA
Well this is a nice boost.
But big battery is BIG
The development has kicked in well and a big thanks to our devs/porters for that but I feel the lack of frequent updates/nightlies. I think we should invite Rom Cooks/Development teams (CM, Omni, MIUI, PA, PACMAN, etc.) to begin officially supporting our G3. The Bumping might be an extra load on them but am sure they would collect good donations from all of us once they start developing for us.
We have neither heard any news from them if they are considering to support G3 yet. I don't know if they know about bump or not or if they still think we have a locked bootloader with no workaround.(silly concern maybe, but am still concerned )
Damn that battery is big! We really need new development in the battery area. I don't like how every manufacturer is focusing on the thinness of the phones instead of having a slightly bigger battery.
Maybee someone know a good Kernel dev. for our G3! Would be good for our battery and performance?

How has LG done a bad job with android 5? Samsung has looked the same since they started making phones. HTC kept sense looking the same right up until blinkfeed and even then there was still the option to use the good old flip clock widget (which really just became flatter). I think they did a good job of keeping their individual look and feel while moving forward. The integration with the new O.S is done well and personally I think the new material design is not too attractive, but oh well...
I am impressed but still figuring lollipop out.
