1. Samsung just re-released the S4, it's doubtful that's coming anytime soon. Besides, the biggest improvement area on android now is software, not hardware. In terms of software, LG's software is maybe even less useful than Samsungs, but atleast it's less obtrusive and not as ugly. Also, a lot of it can be modded to look more consistent with google guidelines
2. It's very fast, but it's not as smooth as a Nexus 4 on kitkat (current LG G2 version is unfortunately still 4.2.2), nor an iPhone.
It's very quick at performing advanced tasks, but basic operations are not as smooth as ios.
3. Few developers, few quality roms. Numerous tweaks you can do to make it a lot better, but it's not the best supported phone.
4. I think so. Question is, will they notice. People have had success unrooting their device.
5. Not yet. But do you need it? Video is pretty good though! Just wish there was a slow motion mode. Camera is great for the steady photographer
Everything that was said above, with the exception of the GS5... that should be coming in a few months, anytime between Feb-May of next year. The question is when is the new Galaxy F line coming out. There's talk of the Galaxy F line being the new flagship of Sammy and the S line will take a step back from the limelight. Techwise there hasn't been any huge improvement in CPU except Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 chip... but that's marginally better than the 800 chip found in the G2 and Note 3. Biggest improvement next year will probably be Sammy's new ISO Cell technology powering their 16MP cameras and the jump to WQHD resolution screens. Of course those are just rumors. And seeing as how Qualcomm hasn't yet manufactured a 64bit chip, it's unlikely the S5 will come with one unless it's an Exynos but if that was the case then I think it'd only be on the international version with no LTE capability.
Now onto the important stuff, if you DO decide to pick up the LG G2... There are several things to test out for in the store before you bring it home. Look up G2 touchscreen issues for starters. The more important bug to test for that might not be so readily apparent is discussed in this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491371
Give it a read over, my post on that thread also has a few screenshots. Test the phone carefully before you bring it home, the problem detailed in that thread affected 3 out of the 4 LG G2s that I had.
gold3ndrag0n which version of the phone did you have?
Just going to copy paste how I feel about the ROM I posted in another thread. First I'll answer some questions you posed.
Currently development is not huge (it is a newer phone) but it is picking up. Cm is officially working on this phone so that can only bring more development.
It does void your warranty but, if you use the method on here to revert to stop, it does untrip the rooted status in the about phone info.
Don't know if you want my personal opinion or not, but incoming wall of text.
I love my g2. Coming from a RAZR xt912 its a huge upgrade.
I have not a single gripe about it aside from a currently locked boot loader. Just need to be careful rooting/flashing.
The stock experience is odd but actually not bad. Medallus has a nice stock ROM, and there are a few more if you do like the set up.
Never messed with the stock browser because I rooted it days after getting it, but there are options to download if you are not too keen on it. Naked browser and what have you.
The stock messenger is good, again different. It has some customization that makes it more personalizable.
The ROMs are picking up with it being a newer phone, but a lot are very buggy. (Gps issues, blue tooth issues, sod's and random reboots.
What seems to be the problem is cm's kernel has a lot of legacy code in it they are actively working on so it is getting better. Since most people fork cm's kernel most ROMs have the same issue.
Cm is finally official on this device, and paranoid android has about the most stable ROM I have experienced. Knock on works on all ROMs but knock off is an issue. Recently cm has put out some code to make double tapping the status back to shut off, and there is a workaround by using a third party launcher with a double tap home screen launch a screen off app.
As far as gps, there is a zip file for asop ROMs to help with it and I've noticed some people saying turn on gps while stock and getting a lock before flashing helps.
TLDR: Awesomely fast phone with a great battery, still very much a work in progress for custom ROMs, but quickly becoming stable/wonderful.

Forgot about stock apps.
The camera is pretty sweet at 13mp and the remote control and stuff is handy. People are activly/have made aosp ports for said apps.
Pretty sure I'm done now lol

D800, the AT&T variant running stock shipped ROM D80010d.
I have this phone for few days and im really satisfied with overall performance of stock rom. Phone is really fast but im coming from s2 and can compare it only to it. The development is pretty ok i would say CM team is officially supporting device witch is great and i suspect it to better when official 4.4 kicks.
If you are worried about warranty void than dont even consider s5, it will come with knox inside and there is very small chance that someone will figure way to reset void flag. Here if you go back to stock you will reset root counter so no one will know 8f you voided warranty but answering your question: yes rooting voids warranty (almost on every phone). To answer your last question max recording resolution is 1080p with either 30 or 60fps

Guys does the phone have ir-blaster?
Should I trade my N5 for a LG G2?
Yes it has and the IR Remote is very complete.
It works with almost everything.
Hey guys,
I finally bought my first phone with my allowance. i'm in college so this really helps me a lot. I bought xperia z1 c6903. My classmates said that it would be really nice if i root my phone because they also root theirs. It is in kitkat 4.4.4 version. Can someone please post on a tread here where i can root my phone and use the latest lollipop update on my phone.
dont be so lazy and search the forums
Why do you want to run Lollipop on your phone?
Unless you have a very good reason I would patiently wait for the official firmware release.
Newest is not always best, Lollipop has it's issues, battery life being a big one. Despite initial claims to improve battery life it's far far worse. Xposed framework does now work with Lollipop but it's in it's very early development phase. Plus other niggly things like no silent mode short cut make it a less attractive option at present.
But if you want to cripple a perfectly decent phone with an experimental rom that has all above issues and probably breaks the features that make Sony phones unique then head to the development section.
I'm not a developer, nor do I have any association with this project. But I was searching android filehost for a particular rom, and version number.... when I ran across this rom that was just uploaded in the last 24 hours. Its the long awaited Xperia Rom for Osprey!
I've downloaded it, and am going to do an install, then post about it.
Because I'm a new user, I can't upload the link. But if you go to androidfilehost, and search for Osprey device Roms in the search bar, it will be the 2nd or 3rd link.
Wish me luck. This might be a game changer!!
Sounds cool will look it up please report if it works
Its booting up as we speak. Made it past the first animation... and also, TWRP reported a clean install. Said that SuperSU was installed, busybox, kernel, and rom image. Looks good thus far.
Is now optimizing apps 51 of 139 done.
Done.
Seems to be a smooth running OS. I cant do screenshots with it. But its an Xperia Z5 style rom, with a really nice camera feature. Built around CM. CM Version is XperiaZ5G-20160201. It IS lollipop though. Not MM. Build Number is Xperia Z5G by [email protected]
Runs on a CM/Pinky Kernel.
Has Xperia Keyboard. Xperia Cam. Nice themes. Some cool widgets. Sony Walkman music. Lots of Social Media features. Youtube Karoke feature.
All in all, its the most feature loaded Lollipop I've came across. I have tested an custom kernels with it yet, but its safe to assume that Blu_Spark will run on it.
Download is about 499mb, and leaves 3.75gb free after install with no additions.
Someone should make a thread for this, and get the word out. Xperia content is now on MOTO G3!!!!!!!!11
In general, people who search for AOSP ROM prefer light ROM without brand apps (often judged as "bloatwares").
Not sure people are that interested in Xperia apps, but I don't know them and maybe you're right and they are interesting.
I m 100% interested, will check soon and sure...

Is this a joke? You obviously have no experience with Xperia Roms. They are the smoothest and most feature rich among any roms in existence. They are sought after on this forum. Nearly every mid-level to high end phone has a developer that works to bring it to their platform. In fact, two threads have been started here with tons of support, but neither delivered.
Just curious though, why would anyone spend time reading THEN replying to a thread, explaining how other people feel about a rom that they have no expierence with? Its quite the oxymoron. It'd be equal to me saying that I bet "X" user would think your mom is ugly, and I'm not interested in her myself... but I'll read your single's ad, reply to it, and speak for everyone else.
But on a serious note, thanks for replying to the thread and expressing your 'uninterest', as well as the uninterest of the masses that you speak for.
Had you read my first post, or tried the Rom out for a spin... you'd know that the Xperia Rom mentioned, is in fact, CyanogenMod 12.1 --- wrapped in Xperia's awesome feature rich platform. So you get the best of both worlds:
1)The smoothest, fastest, leanest, and most popular custom rom on the market.
2)Xperia's top of the line, unique, and liquidy smooth toppings.
Try it before you knock it. And quit speaking for others. Thank you again for replying. It helps to boost the thread and get this rom to the people who desire it.
Someone is getting mad.
But you're right, my post was useless in the end. HF dude.
Is This topic some kind of a joke?

I am running this rom right now???????
After flashing i tried applying theme and than system ui crashed and i am back to CM12.1....

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399994186367177
Huh? Why would the topic be a joke?
There's several people using this, or trying it as we speak. I've tested it semi-thoroughly, and found a handful of bugs. THe only problem is, I don't know how to report them. I really wish the developer would bring it to this site officially. Its a pretty sweet little rom, with lots of unique features you don't find other places. But being built around CM 12.1, its silky smooth.
I haven't tried any themes on it, but I did notice that the camera app in the perm bar crashes. However, the camera app in the app menu works great.
Thanks for posting the link to the rom. Now people will take this a little more serious. Especially with our user reports.
Here is the moto g falcon thread .. Seems this dev has made ROMs for other motos as well. Check it out

And yes, I tried the xperia rom on my xt1548. Every thing was smooth, and after a little tinkering data and calls worked too.
I couldn't get the xperia camera to work either, moto cam is included and works fine.
Couldnt play music so had to go back to cm 12.1 shame tho nice smooth rom wht has this dev not claimed this himself???

i see, well samsung developments are dead pretty fast anyway, the only samung device that was good for customs was s3 gt-i9300, i dislike samsung bloatware , their devices cold be so good and get max out of every hardware it have inside if it wasnt for the ****ty samsung rom , but atleast lg have good roms as far as i can see, im planning to move over to one plus 3t anyways with their oxygen os,
samsung are nice powefull phones but the no... if there are no customs then samsungs are worthless,
i like optimized roms with no crap in it and i am quite happy with audax 12 ,
i was realy satisfied with my s3 untill it broke,
i got s6edge+ after that, though i never expected devs gave up so fast on this device unlike galaxy s3

Yea man LG products show really amazing battery life after you throw the custom on, so I was aiming for a small boost over the horrible Touchwiz UI, system size, lack of xposed compatibility, + it was always glitchy & not something I would legitimately use like a small computer, with the Octa-Core CPU this phone is literally more powerful than my desktop PC, and with TouchWiz on the phone and Windows 10 on the PC they looked identical in color scheme, bloat, just garbage in general.
look at it, samsungs batteries get bigger, but there isn't much change in uptime, witch is wierd, its also a part i don't like about samsung s6, the old lg g3 d855 i have do a way beter job though im not font of their lcd screen's while lg themselfs makes led screens to they don't add it to their phones, i stayed samsung bcuz the led screen but after i see samsung try to be on par with aple with galaxy s8 i want to move on to a difrent brand, they cant imitate apple, and if they even can i don't want to bcuz i dislike apple, why dont samsung find a difrent technoligy instead removing the headphone plug like iphones, this way music can't be listened with a good headphone, what good will it have to play lossless over sucky bluetooth, i dont know what device i am gonna take next, maby a lg or sony, one plus, many brands that folow their own way instead apple, samsung should do something about its rom 1st, look at it, lg's rom is 1.5gb while the samsungs is 8-9gb, and for what ? **** that no one uses, but i see android dying if xda give up, its the same as symbian from nokia, i perfer to have ubuntu or something, a mint wil do to, eventhough im not a linux specialist but i perfer that system since the n900 was lovely with maemo/meego

We have certainly came to alot of the exact same conclusions for sure! I have an LG G2 on Verizon that actually has the same battery size as this s6 edge+, but lasts 3x as long once I threw CM onto the G2.
On the more Linux friendly side of things look up the Meizu Pro 5, if you haven't already hear about it ill fill you in,
FlymeOS came stock
Ubuntu Touch Edition Model was available
ALL the same specs as the S6 edge+, with a higher back shooter.

Lol the sizes of the S8 firmware are rumoured to be 14GB on the Nougat updates.
I swapped over to CM13 for the fact it was under 500mb, not sure if I would wanna try 14 on this thing, I feel lucky to have 13 even working lol.
i dont try cm 13 , bcuz it have bugs still, so stayed audax, samsung roms are just oversized

So you skipped cm13, but you went to 14.1?
uhm , if you talk about my lg yes , i ran for a while dirty unicorns but the phone dont like it , auto reboots, slow startup and shutdown, so i checked out cm 14.1 and its working perfect, the old lg outperform my s6 on reaction speed with cm 14.1, sofar everything works without crashings of apps, as for cm for samsung it sucks , a few bugs i dont want to have , so samsung is audax 12,
Oh! Okay yea dude I seriously don't know what it is about LG devices but even this G2 I have will give me 2 days battery life running cm12, anything in the LG line up runs great once you get it running anything other than stock, they are like super phones.

Part of why I get so p*ssed off all the time, like how can this G2 that barely made a lollipop update manage to make this beast of a Samsung seem so garbage? Lol
because cm is a bloatless rom, its like 1.5gb extracted and if you compare that with a bloated samsung rom that is 8 times that large and is like 9 a 10gb extracted, so meaning it load alot services that actualy not even is needed, and thats what eats alot resources like battery and ram, 4gb is not even enough for samsung, so it have to kill and restart processes everytime ,

The number one RAM consuming app (Using cm13) on this s6 edge+ is literally the AndroidOS app, uses 900mb of RAM at all times,
The number one battery drain, is the screen being on, not sure if it even turns off in Doze Mode, but that currently uses like 20% of the battery up, i do have a high SoT, but pretty sure it's just a bug.

Im just not 100% sure how to lower those values at all lol, Have tried quite a few things to solve these problems like an AMOLED pixel filter to help the screen battery drain, and wakelock killers, nothing works haha.

I had a note 2 before this, and they were still developing for that phone when I stopped using it 2 months Ago. I think im going to try to sell it. it's really pathetic. but it is what it is
Sent from my Xperia XA1 Ultra using XDA Labs
I am in the process of moving but once that is done I will be working on porting a few roms so that we have some choices. Don't give up yet. I have faith in the community

I just bought this coming from a Nexus 6P and was surprised that nothing had really been done with it it seems to be a good phone, just some of the stock options suck lol. I saw your thread for root and custom recovery and am going to try it I'm the next couple days.
You said you are going to be porting some Roms over, any ideas which you will be attempting? If you are taking requests I wouldn't mind Pure Nexus.. It's pretty kickass from a well known dev.. Or maybe even crdroid (lineage based)? Thanks for your work so far and keep at it.. Like I said, pretty good phone, just no development much yet.

The option for root and recovery is done by JanJan who has stopped working on this device. Please give him a thanks and your credit. Mid level phones have a habit of taking a few months to really get development going. But this phone should have plenty in the coming months!
I'd like to jump in for kernel and recovery development, but the problem is I don't have experience and I have to setup a dedicated Linux machine from one of unused laptop. Also, I have to work like everybody. I have four Xperia (Z Ultra, XA Ultra, XA1 Ultra, and L1). I just need other developers to help me get started.
Note: I only have US version except Z Ultra (C6833).
Hii
Just to give my opinion too on this topic
I did the mistake.. Usually I do my own research by google-ing all the reviews
Then I read some opinions, then i look also on you tube and then the most important
I do look at xda forum to see the support of the device
And i saw all that...but than I saw the forum is not like I am used to..its like dead .. not
just there are no one posting things..but the custom rom support is not there...
Well, I said to me also... ok its a 6 inch.. not everybody likes phablets..
Like, 5 inch is more popular.. maybe that is the reson there are no development..
And then I said..ok announced in Feb/March but just got to the market about May..
So..new device..should be some development..
Unfortunally I got one with bootloader unlock NO status..
And now I can not even get root..
But still... It was weird to have such an phone on XDA with dead forum all at all
Did a bit more research last few day after I got the device
As It looks like all the X series from the Sony Xperia... has no support..
Like there are 7 or 8 devices from the X series and the only one is the X Performance Model wich has like 4 to 5 custom roms
and a few stock modified kernels..
All the other phones do not have anything..
Or let me say the best example the XA Ultra also 6 inch from last year 2016 Model
Has not evan 1 thread or commend under xda forum for custom roms or kernels or what ever..like
more then one year and what?? Nothing..
So I do not hope we will have anything...not to get fooled its a new devices it will be in time and
we will need to wait ... bla bla bla.. nothing will happen
The best thing is to fool yourself with different launchers so that after some of use of the phone
You get sort of a feeling you did flash something..and get the feeling you changed the phone
Thats all...
Would point to NOVA laungher..and some others wich have much settings to modify the looks and
the way it works...
I really to not think anything will happen.. ever
i bought the regular xa1 thinking that there'd be insane development going on for it. looking back, i shouldn't have unlocked bootloader, and looked at getting different phone. if i try to take it back to the store now even though it's under 1 year warranty, they'll just say, "oh we can't replace it, we got to send it off to sony" in which case they won't do anything as sony will see that the bootloader is unlocked
Not to say custom ROMs aren't great and all, I too was here for the good stuff, but people complaining and taking phones back is a bit dramatic.
The stock ROM is great. It doesn't really need a custom ROM. It's a perfectly reasonable phone by itself.
A custom ROM makes sense in phones such as Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi, where they botch everything to make it "unique", but Sony phones tread the line carefully to keep it pure as possible whilst adding actual useful features.
If you're picking up phones just to hack them, maybe you should try to start your own development on them. Get the toolchains, bring up a Linux system and get creative. Then you can be the hero of your own story.
What is the best way to return to fully stock? Relock the bootloader and flash the latest firmware? Might sell mine too and get an Essential PH-1.
So since this is my first Sony device and may be my last for a few reasons question I want to return everything to stock, and I use the method that was provided it won't relock bootloader right? I have to manually relock it like any other device? I just wanna return to stock so I can try and see what it take to get a Oreo rom once the update comes through.
Actually maybe do some research when this phone first came out with had start of support. We have twrp and custom kernel. There's a search button. Try it out.
I know that this thread seems to be dead but I was wondering if someone could share the sound file for plugging in the charging cord
