[Q] G2 Untouched stock Android

I am in dilemma between Nexus 5 and LG G2. Their price is same in my country. But I really love the stock Android experience, but I don't like Roms like CM.
So is there any ROM which is untouched stock Android, just like Nexus 5?
Thanks.
EDIT: Wow, I am actually surprised that there is no, untouched vanilla stock android Rom for such phones.
Is it not possible to do or ...?

Well if you want an untouched ROM, I'm assuming what you want is root access. What you can do is just root your G2 and then you'll have an untouched stock ROM but still have root access.

Yea, but I don't want LG ui, I want the Rom to be just like Nexus 5 and untouched. Is there any such thing?

So can I somehow use one of the ROMs from here (untouched, but just modified for G2)?:

Absolutly not I would also like stock vanilla android on my G2, but as of now I can't find a stock rom without annoying bugs(horrible stock camera, random reboots, bad sound quality) i ran mahdi-rom for a couple of days, but reverted to a lg stock based rom because of battery life and stability. My goal is to get a pure vanilla bugfree stock rom, but I guess I just have to wait.. :/ FYI: N5 and G2 cost the same here as well, but i chose G2 because of better lense and bigger battery. I figured that I could change the software on my G2, harder to change the hardware of the N5

Not true. @houstonn has an awesome ASOPA Rom that runs beautifully on my G2. Plain vanilla for the taking...:victory:

But it's still touched right? Not exactly N5 ROM I guess?

Untouched aosp is the base upon which PA and aokp and cm etc are built. If you are looking for something akin to the nexus 4 conversion that was available for the Optimus g, it doesn't exist. The nexus 5 and the g2 are similar, but not as alike as the n4 and Optimus g are.

Just bought phone of craigslist

Hey guys I just got this G2 today for 240 off craigslist. I currently have a note 3 as a daily driver and wanted to experiment with this thing. I'm really into rooting and the note 3 development is slow at best. So i have the phone and i started poking around and learn that i'm already rooted .. There is a custom recovery installed i think it said phils somethign recovery.... it's rooted and all that.. i dont know what to do. .I made a back up... do I need to do anything else? Is the bootloader installed? I'm lost. But i'm really excited to get an AOKP rom or something .. Where do I go from here?

Probably Philz Touch 6? What is it running stock? Kitkat or JellyBean?
I had the exact same thing as you (bought it off a similar website) and mine had JellyBean,
so I flashed a stock Kitkat Rom onto it but kept the root. Loving it so far

Well Well have Pacman installed. Have been having issues. Not Not sure why. Is there anything more stable.

Yes stock KK is the most stable Rom I've ever used. No offense to aosp. They just don't offer anything but boring options, fc's, and sods

LG g2 Rom

is there a way that i can flash a working samsung 4.4.2 rom onto an LG G2? friend of mine wants to buy a gear 2 and have it work with his G2 but we cant get it to fully work without the Touchwiz system.

Lol definitely not ... Do not even try it

Yes there is and all you need to do is fully port the Rom, get WiFi/data/sms/mms/touchwiz/sensors/led lights/home,menu and back buttons/camera/kernel/bluetooth/nfc/etc and after everything is finally working, after all your hard work you will have touchwiz on the g2

Back to KK

I have been using LL for about 5 months and could never get used to the lag. It was very faint but i could notice it. I tried the stock custom roms and the customs roms but was not able to find one that worked without lag. I also missed the status bar notifications on the lock screen. It was a pain always having to unlock it to see the notifications.
So i decided to go back to KK. I used CloudyG3 1.2 rom and KK modem/radio and am very pleased. Much smoother than LL. Status bar notification on lock screen is a godsend. It even seems like the display is a bit crisper. Maybe thats just my eyes playing tricks on me because i am so impressed with KK. anyways just wanted to tell you about my experience.

Yeap, it's your eyes! I have bought my g3 when lollipop was already on it so i haven't had the opportunity to test KK, but i have installed it 2 months ago out of curiosity.
Lollipop is definitely smoother and faster. If you search YouTube, there is a proof of that, with animations in Kk vs lollipop in slow-motion. You'll be going back in a few hours/days

Of course you think LL is smooth. You have nothing to compare it to. Without testing both of them first hand like I have your comments do not mean much. I went from KK to LL back to KK.

Read again what i have written. I have tested kk also, 2 months ago.
My comments don't have to mean something necessarily. Why did you start this post, if you are so easily offended? Lollipop is definitely better, smoother, faster than kk. You can start a poll, you will see you are wrong, lollipop will win by far. Haha. Over and out.

Dude I bought my LG G3 with Lollipop as well. Didn't have a chance to test Kitkat on it, but, I used to have Kitkat on my Nexus 5 and it was so much better than Lollipop I'm telling you. My LG G3 is laggy is hell and gets hot for no reason at all and the battery doesn't give me even a solid 3 hours SOT, I hate Lollipop. Can you please give me the link to download the CloudyG3 1.2 Kk ROM? I searched but I couldn't find it

I also would like to know where to find Kit Kat rom and baseband for downgrade. I looked in the forums but all links I found were offline. THank you.

Just a tip, but part of the heat issue that I have discovered and a decent remedy is if you are wherever and using WiFi- turn off cellular data because your phone is constantly searching for the strongest signal and I easily run 5°-10° cooler and my battery life is definitely better. I hated, and I mean despised LP for almost a year- and the past few months on my G2 and G3 it has grown on me, I don't get much lag that isn't associated with my own bs, maybe you just haven't tried the right LP rom yet?

Thanks for making me fall in love with my LG G3 all over again. Absolutely love Kitkat! No lag at all compared to Lollipop, battery is good and it only gets heated when I'm gaming on it. I'll stick with this ROM until a more stable Lollipop/Marshmallow release is available from LG.
Cheers :good:

Yes I love that as well!
Btw do you keep using Dalvik or did you switch to ART? Because I just switched to ART and the phone becomes kinda unusable, some apps don't wanna launch and the phone became kinda laggy. Should I just stick with Dalvik?

I've always stuck with Dalvik just because never really noticed a difference.

Yes but make sure it is the right version modem. Not sure what it is for the UK. I used the international modem.

I would recommend an AOSP Lollipop build (BlissPop for example) running at 1080P. QHD makes zero difference at this screen size and running at 1080P the phone flies, not to mention a (marginally) better battery life.

If you don't use the camera maybe this not a terrible idea. The stock Kit Kat rom is definitely faster and much much much more stable. And you can use the laser focus and full camera features. Plus the IR blaster. If you disable the stock apps you don't use, its a way better choice than the featureless ASOP roms.

hi there, im using stock rooted lollipop rom v20h, i want to try KK rom to compare but which modem is for international model ? i cannot tell which is best for me cause when i got my phone 2 weeks ago it came with lollipop.
can anyone recommend on a suitable modem pls ?
thanks.

I am also planning to downgrad to Kk.

Just downgraded my d855, to kk. Cloudy 1.2, it 4.4.2 kk rom seems to run fine imso used to lollipop that it feels a bit weird. I used 10o modem which felt not so good for my device. Then put 10i modem and its great. Now im looking for a good kernel.
Ill test itforfew days and see how i feel compared to stock lollipop. 5.0

What Roms is everyone running?

What ROM's are people running on their Verizon LG V20? Im getting ready to root mine and go through that process. Looking over the ROM's though and they seem to be lacking. Back in the day we had tons of options, now we have a handful on XDA. Are there ROM's people are running that arent listed?

Using the LineageOS weekly builds and they've been pretty good. Mostly just missing out on the second screen though.

That's true for anything. Just going out on a limb here, I'm guessing since we are in the LG V20 forum its safe to assume we are using that device.
Next time come prepared with proof of your claim. With no proof and bold claims you sound like a fool.

as Android goes further the ROM field is super small now KK had the biggest amount of ROMS not a lot of this model I have this version too we have RR DU is coming down the line Lineage WETA AOKP Here is a list of ROMS https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=us996&type=files

I have a ls997 and im running Paranoid Android.

I have a vs995 and I'm running XOSP ?

Did i pick the wrong phone i cant seem to find a whole lot of roms for the verizon variant I want a debloated stock or a twrp stock flashable that i can use magisk on it is inexcuseable how much verizon pushed onto this phone is it such a tall task do i really have to choose between having no root with a carrier bloated rom and a working 2nd screen to use a asop type rom?

The Verizon build of not so stock is probably what you're looking for. Stock based so everything works minus all the bloat. Has static at boot, search some of the other kernels, there is a few that fix static at boot.

None I had issues getting it to work had issues booting found weta it worked it has a janky root but it worked and Pokemon go worked and I don't even get the static lines on the screen...

BroeknOs to be
Currently I'm running stock OS on LightningZap! kernel (still in beta, but looking like I'll have a release soon).
I have gotten BrokenOs running quite well and smoothly. But lacking the second screen is what's holding me back.
On LG V20 AT&T (H910), btw...
