Ported, yea for sure, only problem is that I assume the port would have to come from a 4k device, right?
Why ported ?? It's LG main phone - why should they do not upgrade it to 5.0 ?
BTW it's QHD not 4k ;p
EDIT:
As I've read - even G2 has confirmed to Android L update - in fact it's little strange I am not so sure for that, but G3 should be first to get L/5.0 from LG

I guess because it takes other flagship devices a little while to get the newest Android versions, even when it does, it will be LG's 5.0 NOT Google 5.0. The straight up Google experience is reserved for Google phones or special cases where Google has GE versions of flagships (S4 and M7).

Yes of course. I don't saying that G3 will get 5.0 at the they when google will release Android 5.0 - of course LG need some time to make it fit to G3 and recode it launcher etc. It's obvious. I just though, You're saying that G3 will never get 5.0 from LG
BTW LG said that G2 will get 5.0 at the beggining of the 2015 so G3 should get it at the end of 2014...
Not through Verizon, unfortunately. If Verizon ever allows L to be released to their (not your, from their perspective) LG G3's it will probably be next summer, all known root and bootloader exploits patched, and it will be buggy and laggy. The idea will be to get you to buy another expensive phone from them,like maybe an iPhone 6+. This is how Verizon manages to barely stay profitable with all the network investments they are constantly making...by screwing their customers every way they can figure out how to.
But...unlimited data...

Discussion about the LG Android 5.0 update for our beloved G3.
How long do you think we will wait im guessing Jan or Feb next year!
Maby LG can surprise us,(not like bootloader unlock fiasco)
Please feel free to leave your thought
I'm not waiting anything from LG. I had LG's best phones till now, the Optimus 2x and now the G3. They make awesome and powerful devices but they are crap at software developing. I bought the G3 for its hardware specifications. Now I'm just waiting for the developers to start working on roms, kernels, etc.... They will do a grate job I know it! So be patient and wait for the developers and not LG

Ask the developers on LG.
Probably a slightly faster timeframe to the G2 getting 4.4, which was the end of March. LG do seem to have stepped up their game a bit since the G2, but we will see. My guess is also Jan/feb.
I wonder if there is a 5.0 Lollipop Launcher we can install?
Hey quick question friends!
If i have a rooted LG G3, will i need to unroot before updating to the new android OS?
Probably should note that i've removed a ton of the bloatware as well. I'm hearing that i may need to have all that back to update,
and if that's the case then i'll just return to stock and then update.
Thanks!
I tweeted LG UK and they don't seem to have any idea of a timeframe for Lollipop. That's actually a little depressing.
I'm guessing not any time soon
I think on may or jun 2015
I don't think LG's software division is very efficient, and will take time to update their stock apps to material design. HTC's software division is great & they promised and update within 90 days so I'm guessing LG would probably take around 150 days(hopefully) which means probably some time around March-April.
LOL LG is utterly horrible with updates...
So I wouldn't get my hopes up for any LolliLove any and I mean any time soon..
If I had to guess. I'd say May... LOL or better yet after the G4 is released....
_________________
IT'S OVER 9000!!
In the ballpark of May 2015... Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if G4 runs 4.4.4. LG makes GOAT phones, but there sw Dev division is horrible... It'll also be interesting to see some of the more ugly stock apps being "updated" to material design..

There is no reason that LG need to update its apps for Material design. All the new look will likely be ignored and the UI will be the same as it is now. All they have to do is make a working ROM based on 5, which is mostly about drivers and APIs, not the look.

Ofcourse there is no "need" as such, but I'm pretty sure they will be updating the apps(which like I said with LG's software div will take some time). Releasing an L update without updating its stock apps won't do good for the experience & LG's standing especially when Samsung has already almost finished updating TouchWiz to Material Design.
With Material Design hyped as a USP for Lollipop, I don't think any OEM would(ideally) just release a stock ROM without updating its stock apps.
We will most likely see CM12 for our phone before a release from LG.

I fully agree.
Android 5.0 may be available sooner than people think. It's possible that the reason LG haven't updated from 4.4.2 is because they decided to just wait for 5.0 and they will just go straight to that. Maybe. So I'm going to say late January/early February for an update.

I also think so.?
It seems we are lucky. The G3 will get the 5.0 lollipop update by the end of the year:

Well probably from my experience with the G2 in regards to kitkat the Korean G3 will get it first, then some international variants, then U.S. I would guess the U.S. would probably get it in Feb or March.
Thanks for the great news :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Great news !
Wow. That's amazing. Google should do this with every release of android. Give them a base before official release so when its official we don't have to wait forever for updates
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I think that's why google did it. They've also been gradually giving more access to the manufacturers earlier in return for less bloat and skinning of stock android.
I think that is the main reason lg idnt really jumping to 4.4.4. It would really be a waste of time and would simply delay the 5.0 update even further. Sure we wait longer for the patch but at least we get the latest in term of software instead of sitting on 4.4.4 even longer

I think that is something no onr can answer yet. I personally do believe lg will fix the exploit. So better to root and wait for a 5.0 rom

If you want to keep ur unlocked bootloader as well as root, then don't take any new LG updates. It is very likely that both will be lost on the next software iteration.
Don't keep your hopes up

I had to incrementally update my LG G3 400k from Version 10g to F400k10t .. The last update in Korea was about 130MB.. not much of a difference but I also managed to root with PurpleDrake.. Easy as 123
I forgot to mention that the speed is awesome , after the update
verizon customers will get their Android 5.0 Lollipop April of 2015 at the very earliest. LG G4 might be released before the update for LG G3.
everyone else will get it first
just my personal experience with Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Nexus, S3, Note 2, LG G2.
It would be amazing if we get it before 2015, custom ROM development is going slow.

Android named 6 version as Marshmallow as I thought. If LG does the same think like Lollipop we will see Android 6 for G3 soon as 3rd and final preview released today.

That's all we want. We must get Android 6 as soon as Google release it. There were 3 preview builds so what do really do LG software department anyway. They get money like US gets oil from middle east(lol), so what are they doing with all that money? Hire talented developers and make updates rain.
If Nexus devices had enough battery like 3000, i wouldn't lick LG's backpack for updates anyway.

to be honest I never liked LG's software development. I always believed in developers here on XDA. In my opinion LG is making powerful hardware, this is why I will stick to LG int he future, but they not tailor the OS perfectly to the device. I always liked more Stock modded softwares.
Is there any release date for 6.0 in general? Or that last dev/preview build is like RTM for Windows?
We won`t get anything this year guys. Lets be realistic. Google said M will be ready "later this fall". So we can expect it maybe in October. LG G4 will be first with the update, rolling out in December just as
G3s last years Lollipop update. I am guessing for Q1 2016 (earliest) if we get the update at all
I bet we won't get any official bootloader unlock, nor android marshmallow before january '16.
I have decided to go back to Nexus next time. Not for the latest shiny widget but to ensure I get security updates ASAP and not 1 year after my phone has retired.
I like my LG G3 but that I have to live with well documented and exploited security holes for almost a year is ridiculous.
In this case I suspect it is as much LGs fault as it also would be my carriers who insists on retesting everything for x weeks.
Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition, bring it on

G4 get 2017 april like G3 MM
I think N sounds like the best version since 4.4.
I wouldn't hold my breath for long to wait, I think it will not come fast to G4 due to the great number of variants and G5/V10 that will probably receive it first.

android N might be the last update for G4
tried it on xperia z3 beta version, overhaul of the notification system looked good
Usually flagships get 2 major Android releases. I think G4 will get N but it will be the last major update and it will come after G5/V10 get theirs. There is always the possibility that LG will change plans. Unless LG mke an official announcement of the phones getting N we will never know.
Agreed. It will probably come - but I think it won't come soon.
Hopefully they give us X.X.1 instead of X.0.0 like Android M ):
We will get N for sure... It's just a matter of when..... 99% sure we won't get it in 2016.... Q1 or Q2 of 2017 most likely.......
keep in mind that N is coming a few months earlier than usual... end of the year is more likely, depends on version/location...
and btw I don't think V10 will get it before G4
How about unlocking bootloader instead... LG has abandoned us G4 users.
