Best Kernel's for G2?

Currently using CM7 nightly build 186 with stock kernel. Had umaros kernel but it gave me issues so I reinstalled 186 and restored apps with data using TB pro. Looking for an efficient kernel which gives good battery life and excellent performance/ doesn't make my phone overheat :/

So you're saying that you're having bad performance, battery, and heat problems with the stock CM7 kernel? That doesn't sound right. I think you may be having some other issues. What are you overclocking to? are you using the built in CMSettings CPU settings or a different app (SetCPU)? What governor are you using?
I would definitely recommend the stock CM7 kernel. Its a fantastic well rounded kernel that is guaranteed to work perfect with the software.

I agree - you should really use the CM7 kernel it works quiet brilliant.
IMHO all other kernels are not especially made for CM7...

I'm running Pershoots kernel with CM7 and I have it overclocked to 1.5 Ghz. My phone runs great and I'd say the battery lasts pretty much the same amount as it did when I was on stock. Of course when your gaming and stuff and actually using all those gigahertz then your battery life goes down the crapper.
Interestingly enough ... I haven't noticed the phone getting as hot as it used to when I did play games on it ... weird. You'd think overclocking it would cause it to warm it considerably.

yea I'm curious too. I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.4 pre rooted rom and everything works great, but I was wondering if I can improve wifi range or anything else?

No custom kernels for that. And if you were on a different ROM, custom kernels will help with battery or performance (they claim), but not really things like wifi signal.

Yea just had a scary moment when I flashed my radio lol. I know there is no working substitute kernal for the stock ota ...yet! But I was wondering what about g-lite, ayone try it? How close is it to the stock ota?

CM7 and G-lite are pretty close. Considering that the G2 OTA is close to stock AOSP, and these ROMs are made from AOSP they're going to be pretty close...
Why not flash them and try them? You can always go back to a nandroid backup of your stock rooted ROM.

I said that the stock kernel is good, the UmarosKernel drained my battery.

Just bought a T-Mobile G2, had some questions regarding Development.

I'm a little confused about which forums and roms to follow for my particular model. Seems to be no original development for this version. Do the G2 forums have Roms that are universal with both the d801 (T-Mobile) and others (800, 802, etc...) thanks

Yes. I understand where the t-mobile thread is... I'm speaking more along the lines on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/orig-development
Most of those roms, including beanstalk and mandhi rom show they are compatible with almost every carriers G2.

the original android development is all aosp and most people who make roms based on aosp give support to almost all models, there is also the http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development general thread which is mainly in general multiple device support/devices without dedicated threads

Had a question. I should be receiving my g2 tomorrow and I'm hung up on which rom to go with.
Most important features to me are camera & battery life.
In your experience, if you have any... I was looking at either running Pac Rom, SlimKat, or Mahdi rom.
Do you think I'm better off with a rooted stock based rom, and if so which one of those would you recommend.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 on SlimKat and a Note 3 on jellybeans
Thanks

I'm assuming you've ran AOSP ROM's before so you know what that's like. So for me I came from a Nexus 4, I'm as much of an AOSP fanboy as you'll ever meet. The second I got my G2 I rooted it and flashed SlimKat. SlimKat is an amazing ROM, probably the best AOSP ROM for the G2, with Mahdi a close 2nd. It was almost perfect to be honest, the battery life was amazing. I could get 2 days with a charge and about 6 hours of on screen time. Now the ONLY draw back was that the camera sucked balls in comparison to stock LG ROM. While it worked fine 80% of the time, sometimes it was laggy, switching from FFC to rear would hang up, and shutter speed was slow. Quality was decent but not amazing for the pics. And this was the issue with any AOSP ROM.
Because of that, I went ahead and upgraded to T-Mobile's official 4.4.2 KK ROM and it has been very good. I use xposed to do a little modding, but ran it full stock for a week so far and I really like it. With NOVA launcher I'm having no problems, the camera is a tons better than AOSP. The cam app itself has some cool features and the quality plus shutter speed is so much improved. But of course there's a drawback... Battery life isn't as good as AOSP. I'm getting about 1/3 less than what I was used to. But one thing that's not really talked about on the G2 is how ridiculously fast this thing charges. I plug it in at like 10% left, leave my room for about 20 mins, come back and it's at like 58%. So because of that, the lessened battery life doesn't bug me. I still get well over a day on a full charge though, which is a HUGE upgrade in itself compared to my Nexus 4 where I had to charge 2-3 times a day.
Anyways, sorry for the mini rant. If you have another questions, feel free to ask! I've only had this G2 for 2 weeks, but finally getting the hang of the "what to know" for the device.

Man.. That's no rant Lmao that was more than I could have asked for.
I love aosp as well... My note 3 was on VZW so locked bootloader means no go.
My Nexus 5 was nice but the battery was terrible.
My other gripe was the as you said, the camera quality.
Can't believe they still haven't gotten that down yet. I saw that Google might be releasing a stand alone camera app and I believe opening up the api.. So I bet that will help for devs.
The only reason I'm hesitant to run the stock rom is bc coming from touchwiz, I'm not looking forward to that type of heavy hidious skin again.
Do they have a rooted, debloated stock 4.4.2 rom yet?
Thanks again for the help. Trying to hit the ground running with this phone

My advice is to run stock for a week and see how you like it. LG ROM is not bad at all, especially since I expected it to be very bad since I dislike TouchWiz so much.
Yes there's a stock debloated ROM, but newer G2's (like mine) can't run it. Only the official one works. just have to wait for root and recovery to come for KK.

Oh okay, then good chance you can. Just flash it through TWRP and if you don't get white lines then you're good to go. Worse case scenario, you just wipe and reflash something else. Also, flash the KK radio before flashing the official KK ROM.

Update to KitKat or Not?

After seeing many different comments. I wanted to get a general idea on whether to update LG G2 to 4.4.2 Kitkat or stay with the 4.2.2 JellyBean version?
I mostly think about the OFFICIAL Kitkat release, NON-ROOTED.
I have seen people talking about battery and bluetooth battery drain problems on the new update... So which one is better?
Thanks.

Got better for me when I updated, and or was pretty dang good before

For me is KK better and faster yes have some problems with battery drain and bluetooth but if you flash any custom rom you resolve this problem i use custom rom and custom kernel and i not have this problem and i not use bluetooth everyday so my battery is pretty good so update to KK and be happy

yes!
Absolutely update to Kit Kat... ONCE ROOTED

Anyone using Tmobile version with KK rooted? Does wifi calling feature work?

Oh no. One of the reasons why i ditched my nexus 4 for lg g2 is because nexus 4 had bluetooth connection issues with my car. Looks like it has to do with google 4.3 and 4.4+ roms no matter what phone you have. I have heard only sense and touchwiz didnt have this issue in KK. As i drive a lot, i need this feature. Looks like 4.4.3 fixes bluetooth - hope we get it for lg g2.
Other than that only things you will loose going to KK is
flash wont work with stock browser even if you use hacked flash player - works with dolphin+jetpack though.
stock browser inverted rendering wont work - dolphin night mode is great though.
Battery drain difference between the versions are minimal. I tried both in my nexus 4. If you experience a drain, it might be due to play services. some versions keep the location services running even if you turn off the location. I use appops to turn it off and i get good battery in KK.
What kind of issue you have with bluetooth? Not connecting? or not auto connecting with paired devices?
Edit: Bluetooth working fine for me with kitkat stock. Same car with which i had problems with nexus 4, works with lg g2.

I'm really thinking of going back to JB. Battery was heaven on there. I used to go 30 minutes SOT before it dropped to 99%. Now, after 12 minutes it drops. Battery life is not bad but once you taste batter, well, who doesn't want to stay at better. I just underclocked to 1.5Ghz for the day to see battery usage. First time underclocked with any device.

Hey guys, ive tested both. I would say battery on JB is better but overall speed is improved in KK (a least it feels like that).. so it just depends on your preferences..
(But i like the statusbar a looot more in KK)

Battery and speed is better for me on Kitkat.

[Q] Is it worth it to install a G3 Rom on G2?

Hello all,
I've recently bought a LG G2 (D802). I've seen that there are a few ROMs which have been adapted from the G3 model to the G2: Cloudy G3, Optimus G3 and Lam Hoang G3. I have had a look to this last one and there are still some issues with the ROM.
I wonder whether it's really worth it to install one of these ROMs or it would be enough just installing G2 Exposed and changing the theme to look like the G3 one?
Obviously there are some other differences like some new applications. However since they are both based on Android 4.4.2 I don't see how much difference there could be if I use Xposed.
Here are some of the pros and cons I can see:
G3 ROMs over stock:
Camera
Keyboard
UI (G2 can be adapted to look almost the same as G3 (Tweaks box + G3 theme) though)
Less bloatware as custom ROMs get rid of them in most cases
Smart notice (is it good?)
G2 stock over G3 ROMs:
Most stable software
Less risk of virus in your phone (if you install a custom ROM you don't really know if the person who built it put some spyware in it)
Official updates (I guess official G3 ROMs won't get official updates)
Are there any new applications/features apart from above which make worth it installing these ROMs? Maybe performance benefits?
*This is not a thread to discuss whether it's good or not making custom ROMs. In fact, I want to say thanks to all those developers who spend hours trying to bring something better to our phones.
Thanks,
Javier

I too am interested in hearing responses to this. I previously came from a galaxy s3 (d2spr) and I thought many roms were worth installing on that device as many actually improved either functionality, battery life, or performance. But with my g2, I'm really content with the stock kk. I've heard the camera on the g3 roms is pretty awesome, but I've also heard of issues with hdr not working. Can't wait to hear responses.

I'm on stock, rooted rom, g2 tweaksbox, g3 theme and the camera tweak which adds some features.
It's a great way to go, everything works like a charm.

You won't find a single rom that doesn't have someone complaining of issues. So far though CloudyG3 1.2 has been exceptionally stable and pretty much fully functional. Even stock has its quirks in terms of issues.

I use Cloudy G3 1.2, and after a few tweaks, it runs pretty damn smooth. I like it over stock!

Using OptimusG3 and everything is smooth as butter!

I like to add one more candidate for a G3 rom: lamhoang G3 FINAL
https://translate.googleusercontent....4358/&usg=ALkJrhiaba6cK0mY2Vsbrcc3aGQFUPvzdg
The 1st fully deodexed art compatible rom, its very snappy and i find it the best of the G3 ports so far.

I think lamhoang rom eats battery very much

No, i getting excellent battery life on the Lamhong roms.
8+ hours screen on my 802 and 6+ hours on the 320k

OptimusG3 V1.2
Hi,
I'm running OptimusG3 v1.2. In the beginning tried CloudyG3.
I started experimenting with G3 ROMs since it's G3 has nicer interface than G2 ROMs. It has G3 camera and keyboard. It has also G2 FM Radio apk. CloudG3 has G3 FM radio apk that crashes.
Overall good ROM but battery live could be better when you use it, In stand by is OK.

I tried the G3 rom for a few days but ultimately went back to stock rooted. The flatter, minimal theme of the G3 looks great, but that was about it. I have the VS980 which isn't fully supported for the G3 rom (yet) so I had minor data/mms issues and poorer battery life. Plus, I think the camera on the G3 is a downgrade compared to the G2 - less features/options, and pictures seemed to look a little worse.
For now, I use Nova with a G3 theme, and G2 Xposed/Tweakbox to mimic some other aspects of the interface (notification toggles, status bar tint, etc)

I'm running CloudyG3 and i'm really enjoying it so far, the new 1.2 update added all the missing things so now im super happy

Depends. Roms can be built from modded stock roms. It could be argued that removing bloat will result in a more stable rom.
Less risk of virus in your phone (if you install a custom ROM you don't really know if the person who built put some spyware in it)
Well, we KNOW of carriers that add spyware to our phones. Also, many devs post their source, so there's that...
Official updates (I guess official G3 ROMs won't get official updates)
Does this even matter when you can just update the custom ROM? You want the latest carrier update that bad, you'd only have to wait a couple hours.
G2 can be adapted to look almost the same as G3 (Tweaks box + G3 theme)
This is more a lack of a con than a plus.
Are there any new applications/features apart from above which make worth it installing these ROMs? Maybe performance benefits?

For Camera, you can install xdabbeb's camera. I read a couple of days ago that there will be an update and that his camera will be available in apk.
For the Keyboard, you can install the LG G3 keyboard as an apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793602

i think lg did a good job with g3 stock but apart from the interface which looks more flat, you don't get too much over stock g2.

LG G2 VS980 - Best Lollipop ROM/Kernel for stability and speed

Currently on CloudG2 3.3 with dorimanx kernel vs980 and xdabbeb's vs980 bootstack. My G2 is either fast or very very slow.
Have to reboot about one or two time a week.
Would I get more stability going to another ROM?
What about the kernel?

Currently on CloudG2 3.3 with dorimanx kernel vs980 and xdabbeb's vs980 bootstack. My G2 is not either fast or slow. Have to reboot about one or two time a week.
Would I get more stability going to another ROM?

I moved from Cloudyg2 to Blisspop. From my experience, Blisspop is incredibly fast, stable, battery life is excellent so far, but the camera is bad. That's the only negative side of the rom, and probably every other AOSP rom. I'm not using any kernels.
Calibrated my battery and fixed dead/inactive blocks, running performance kernel profile.

Thanks Kosuo. What do you mean by camera is bad? It is slow?
Do you know how I can go back to the original kernel to test it out with CloudyG3?

Yeah, I heard that to get Cloudy's camera, or forgot the other dude's name that had originally modified the LG G2's camera (libs and stuff), you need LG framework, which AOSP roms like Blisspop do not have.
The camera is insanely slow when taking pictures in darker places, quality is not even close to my previous rom.
G2's camera was one of the things that I liked the most, combined with the display, but I lost that with BlissPop and I was about to flash Cloudy 3.3 last night, but it said I needed KK bootloader, which I have no idea how to find.
TL;DR
AOSP ROMs have much worse camera quality than ROMs with LG Framework. If you are willing to trade excellent camera for more speed and smoothness, then you are good to go.

is the battery life better or worse with dorimanx than cloudy's built-in kernel?
m getting occasional performance hiccups, bad wifi performance and constantly disconnecting usb connection with pc
