I continue to have cell-reception issues with Lollipop based ROM's (confirmed glitch, there is no fix available for me) and rather than going back to the POS stock ROM I'm looking for suggestions on good KitKat/4.4.x ROMs to go to.
I'm on an LS980 using Sprint. Throw some suggestions my way.

Hi, maybe I have too simplistic an understanding of these things but I'm struggling to understand what seems to be a clamour to return to stock/unroot to allow the OTA to 4.4.2. I rooted and installed a custom KitKat ROM to remove the bloatware and to have a similar UI as my Nexus 7.
What would be the advantages of having of having stock 4.4.2 bloatware included ? My thoughts were to hang off until a custom stock KitKat ROM is developed and released, and flash that (if at all, DroidKangv1 is working very well for me on my D802)
Or am I way off the mark here and missing something obvious ?
Cheers,

The clamour is that its new. Its the latest and greatest with new things to discover. And new things are awesome. Ive gone back to stock and Im loving it so far, there's a lot of cool features that you miss out on by using aosp roms. There currently is a 4.4 stock rom in the developement section if your keen just be aware that there is no root for it yet.
I actually went back to stock 4.2.2 after experiencing issues using the camera and GPS at the same time on the custom ROM I was using.
If I wanted to flash a stock 4.4 kdz I presume it is the same procedure I used to return to stock but obviously with the correct 4.4 kdz file ?
Cheers.
Yeah correct its the same and its this rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665985
Theres plenty of info in that thread.
I thought about doing it but the mixed results people got sort of turned me off. And the fact that recovery doesn't work on it.
Should be interesting though.
I wanted to ask the community's opinion on a rom. I want either a 4.4.2 or 4.2.2 based lg rom for my lg. I like some of the features and I can live without the google stock experience. Ive had plenty of phones with that, and want to try something different. I also like how good the pictures come out with the lg based roms. What are some of the better roms, for the lg g2 that will work with my d800 version. I appreciate everyones help. I would prefer a 4.4.2 rom, but open to any suggestion. thanks again.

Hello, I have a few questions here I've been looking at ROMs for the Note 3 (US Cellular version) (N900R4) (hlteusc) And so far the only ROM I have found was Carbon ROM that does not have issues (From what I can tell) and has my level of customization I wanted. BUT I have no way to ask people what the bugs are...Or how to flash it going from JB 4.3. I don't want to brick it on the first try, Some say normal flash with recovery some say I have to flash KK firmware first? Then the ROM? Yet I can hardly find info on this...So if anyone has this information please let me know! Also let me know if it's worth it going from Stock 4.3 to KK 4.4 (CarbonRom) Any information help. Thanks.
Update: I also heard that once you flash to KK ROM's or higher there is no going back to JB...So I want to make damn sure I'm making the right choice.
Bump...Come on anyone?
Hey guys and gals. I ordered a new G2 Sprint LGLS980 for my dad replacing his Galaxy Nexus (yeah I know about time). I want to put an AOSP 5.1 rom on it but Im new to this device. I have unlocked and installed custom recovery on many devices so im not a total noob to this. I have searched for how to do this but I cant seem to find an up to date best way to do this. Can some one help me out or point me in the right direction on the steps to take to get this done?
Also he will be using it on Sprints network so I want to use a rom that has all the Sprint LTE bands enabled. Will any of the AOSP roms work and how stable are the CAF roms? I run a CAF rom on my Nexus 5 and love how smooth it is, but its buggy at times. I would like to use a rom thats pretty stable he really doesn't need a real heavily customizable ROM either. CM12.1 would be great but I see its not on the device yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm guessing you've been going to the G2 Sprint section. Not much there, you need to go to the generic LG G2 page and then to development from there. Here's the shortcut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
If you've got the recovery loaded, you should be ready to go. Just make sure to read the ROM requirements carefully, make sure you have the proper radio and bootstack. You'll find what you want in the link above, the most popular ROM's are mostly Cloudy for stock based, CM, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix for AOSP. I have the LS980 and the AOSP ROMs double tap to wake seems to take 5 taps, but other than that the features can't be beat. I run BlissPop now and have run 3 of Cloudy's ROMs, I like Bliss the best, just wish the DT2W could be fixed.
I am looking for a ROM with wifi calling (advanced calling?). I am new to flashing roms, and only got into it to get wifi calling on my Note 3 so I can keep using it. I have tried a few rom's, trying to find it (I'm pretty good at flashing roms now...lol). I have read it's available on Alliance ROM, but that is on 4.4 firmware. I want to stay on 5.0 of1 firmware. Can anyone point me to a rom that has it? If not, maybe one of you can add it to your rom? I'll send a good donation your way.
Thanks!
