need an advice from the true experts - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys i own a D-802 16gb lg g2 right now & im using the CloudyG2 3.3 rom but i feel like my phone is not doing what it suppose to do and capable of, i see lags and over heating except for the camera it's soooooo good . anyway i need to know from the true honnest experts what is the best rom i can install on this phone whatever stock, stock based or AOSP, CM regarding best battery life, best camera less heating and in lollipop version. can i found what i want !!!

just flash dorimanx kernel and set it up properly... (it has heat limiter)
camera on aosp/cm roms is worse than stock...
or you can flash full stock 30f rom by somboons (you can clean flash it over cloudy3.3, just don't wipe internal storage)
there is nothing wrong with your device/rom, you just have to set it up properly...

Best G3 rom for stability and battery life?

I'm downgrading from a g3 back to a brand new g2. I miss the form factor and the lag issues on the g3 is driving me nuts.
That said, I will be putting a custom rom on the g2 I get. I really like the look and feel of the g3 software I have. What, in your opinion, is the best g3 based rom for the d800 when factoring in stability and battery life?
Or is there a non g3 based room that you think is better?
For me cloudys g3 Rom is the best. It's stable smooth and very battery friendly.
I also tried optimus g3 Rom which is also a good Rom too but for me it started to lag after a month.
I used for both roms the dorimanx kernel which is in my opinion the best kernel for stockbased roms. You can tweak nearly everything and with the optimal settings your g2 ist buttersmooth and battery friendly.
I vote for cloudys g3 Rom too. It's smooth and fresh. I suggest to flash Dorimanx kernel and voala you'll get better battery.
Thanks guys. On my old G2, I installed Cloudy G3 and life was great. Then the phone refused to power on at all. I took it to ATT and they said it was completely dead and gave me a replacement and put cloudy on it again. Same thing. Completely dead. Wouldnt turn on, no power even if plugged in. ATT gave me a third and I left it stock and gave it to my wife. No problems.
It may have been a weird coincidence.. .. I will try again with my new G2. I did buy an extended warranty just in case.
So this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725023
and this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192 ?
So when I get my new phone, it will be NIB. So running 4.2. First thing I do is flash a new recovery. Which do you recommend? I also dont need to bother rooting the stock software to flash a new recovery right?
Then I:
Full Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System & Data)
Flash KitKat baseband
Install the CloudyG3
Choose your variant in Aroma
Flash Dorimanx kernel (or should I wait to flash and boot the phone, run the setup for Cloudy G3. Once it is done, put back into recovery and flash the kernel)?

First install cloudy G3 after you'll wipe. Than make settings-->wipe dalvik cashe and cashe. Than flash kernel. I make it like that and have no problem.

ROM suggestion for LG G2 (D802)

Hi, first of all, im getting my phone tomorrow so I havnt tried any ROMs yet. But I am familiar to the whole xda thing thanks to my Galaxy S2. I hope someone can help out
Im looking for a custom ROM that meets the following needs (D802 model):
- great battery life!
- lightweight (dont want it to take too much space since I have the 16GB variant)
- pure performance over looks
- stable, no bugs.
Thats pretty much it, which ROM would u guys think would suit me the best? Oh, and one more question. Whats the difference between "G2 Android Development" and "G2 Android Development (D802)" what goes under the first category then? I have the D802 (Europe) model, so I should be looking under D802 right?
I'll be getting the G2 in a few days too and I will try CM12 and see what LG features are missing and can i live without them.
With my experience with the G2 and some of flashing roms...I advise you to do the following: Get twrp recovery and flash CM12...the LG FlashTool that I used to flash it's a horrific little program...always breaking down! I have now 5.0.2 but if I knew I would get twrp recovery and flashed CM12...
It's an excelent ROM and it's so much easy to flash updates or other roms also...
Thanks for the replies. Can you link me the CM12 rom for D802 model, i couldnt find it myself for some reason.
e: found the CM12 ROM, but it appears that its not bug free?
XenonHD looks very promising, has anyone tried it?

If you want the best battery life use stock 20H.
Its lightweight too, if you purge the unneeded apps.
Its fast, if you dont use stock launcher.
Stable and no bugs.
With root, twrp, xdabbeb camera, adblock, xposed modules and works like a charm, its the best for this device.
Lollipop has some bugs, CM12 a lot of them in daily use.
But if you want more try MIUI V6 by gtbluesky. I love it.
Knife.mstr , thanks for the reply!
What about this one. This seems to be stock 4.4.2 but with bloatware already removed. What do you think of this ROM?
About MIUI...I have to admit, it looks really damn good but for some reason I am afraid to try it How does MIUI effect battery, performance (is it fluid), bugs and so on?

I didnt try it, but can be good.
MIUI 's performance is great. Battery is between stock 20h and 30b. Worst as kitkat but better than stock lollipop. (everything is upon usage)
Only few bugs, like music player drains battery a bit (can be freeze), not every xposed modul can be used.
For me the mipop was hard to use at first, but i liked it. (and can be turned off if you not)
If you run into install bugs, like no sensor or bt or wifi, just return to stock, then reinstall it.
Sometimes 4G dosnt work after update, in this case you need to set in hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* to another network, than return to default, thats fix it.
If you use titanium backup, you can freeze unneded miui apps, like video, or market but use the fun features like deny apps to reach your contacts.

A few thing about threads like this:
These turn into flame wars. Everybody feels their rom is best and will meet your criteria.
Have you searched?
Have you read the features of many different choices?
Have you done your own research on your device?
So here/s the suggestion. read, read, read and then read some more.
I am familiar to the whole xda thing

Really? Well you should know better than to create such a thread.
Now go out and learn about your new device, as this thread is now closed.

Fastest STOCK BASED ROM for LG G2

Hello everyone,
From few weeks Im using Cloudy G2 2.2 ROM + Dorimanx kernel with performance mode - and unfortunately this ROM is very slow, few days ago I bought another LG G2 D802 for my friend, it comes with android 5.0.2 stock. Of course this system is completely clean but difference with speed to cloudy g2 2.2 (andorid 4.4.2) is very big. This 5.0.2 rom is much faster, Im asking this question because i have read a lot opinion that older cloudy rom and older stock based roms are more stable and faster than lolipop. But now I see that is not true.
I need stock based rom because of camera (for aosp is very poor).
Which stock based ROM is fastest for LG G2? Thanks in advance for your opinions
cloudy 3.3 + xceed kernel imo
I will try this ROM, any other suggestions ?
From my experience the fastest stock based ROM on the G2 D802 is CloudyStock 2.7. Kitkat is much faster and memmory management is night and day comparing Kitkat and Lollipop. Stock Kitkat based ROMS are optimized to run much better on G2 than Lollipop ROMs. Its interesting that Cloudy 2.2 is running slow for you, maybe try to reflash and use the default kernel that comes with it without changing any kernel settings. This is the ROM I am using ATM and it is one of the fastest. Also try MIUI 7 based on stock Kitkat, Cloudyflex, Cloudystock as I mentioned and other stock Kitkat based roms if you want speedy and snappy performance. Cloudy 3.3 is also good if you want Lollipop but it will bog down after a while and only data wipe can restore its snappyness although frequent reboots can improove memmory management. Dont use Dorimanx kernel it always slows my phone down no matter what settings I use, IDK why. Also if you are using G2 or G3 tweaksbox try disabling it, some settings can slow down your phone. The same goes for Xtana and similar apps thet change systemui and framework apk. Unicon app for changing icons also slows down any OS. Try to run as stock as possible for the snappiest performance.
Good idea to disable g2/g3 tweaks - I will try it, As I remember, on original kernel system was similiar slow. Maybe I just need full format all data/syste/ etc and install clean rom from beginning. Also I will try to record speed of my phone just to comparsion, maybe it is normal but just for me means slow? I dont think so.

I dont think so either. Also when installing choose odexed in aroma, this also affects ROM speed, app openning speed and boot time. Deodexed is not necessery as you can easily theme anything with G3 Tweaksbox even if your rom is odexed. Try shuffling trough D802 development section and you will find a couple of great Kitkat based roms like Coqueror rom or stock 20f prerooted kitkat rom.

Its better to install odexed ROM.
Best thing you can do really is flashing a non stock rom...the difference is insane. The major drawback is the camera...the quality is considerably lower. Battery life is more or less the same! Stock lollipop from LG is so bad...even with xceed kernel
You are absolutely right! I know this, camera is just one reason which keeps me with stock rom. I used cyan 11 before and diffrence was huge, I mean camera is so bad but speed sooo good. I think lg g2 is not complete phone for me because of this. Camera is something very important for most of the ppl, and this one for aosp rom is not even worth to rating...

Cloudy or MM

Im new at this phone and getting it today the d800 i have files already for CM13. Which one is more stable and can overclock without issues? Cloudy or MM?
Why do you want to overclock? CM13 is 100 times faster then any 5.0 stock rom, you don't need to overclock. But when using CM you should accept there are bugs and parts not working well. Camera is always best on stock! Sound in stock is better. But on CM13, GPS works well and my phone is as a brand new up to date fast phone. ALthough there are some bugs, it's stable as hell. Never had any hangup or reboot, using CM13's special build from Dr4xxxx (see the most thanked post in official CM13 thread) and Psychogames Kernel. Battery is the same for me.
It depands on you
Well I have tried both ....cloudy rom gives you the feel of LG g4 plus it is stock based rom so it will be bugs free... but it has a lot LG bloatwares which some people find them useful ..you can also install dorimanx kernel which can overclock both CPU and GPU (which for me it is note an important feature since it affects battery life and stability of our precious g2).
CM13 in the other hand is debloated rom with all new Marshmallow features with fast response and much more free ram...it has a few bugs but the developers all fixing it in a good time...I have installed it since last week from Cyanogenmod official site and tested intensively and the only bugs I have found so far are : the rear notification led is not working and the quality of the camera is fine but not as stock .....everything else is working great including the IR remote functions.
For me I have decided to keep using CM13 ?

before doing anything else, make sure your phone is not refurbished. then proceed. if refurbished it could say d800 but be a ls980. so itll brick.
if you dont care about camera, slow motion, and 4k video. then go CM is faster.
camera in stock is better. but CM or AOSP have some bugs. when i tried them theres was hissing coming from speaker.
if you go th cloudy route, then i recomend
CHELOZTEAM UX4 V4.
powerg2
icex
cloudy. to me battery isnt good as others and its slower. besides the others are based on newer firmwares cloudy hasnt been updated.

Questions about CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM by ED300

Hey guys, I'm new here.. like super new and that's why I can't post to The Best CM12.1 CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM For Lenovo A6000/Plus (Stable) thread.
I would love to flash this rom. Stock KK is so slow and hanging every time I try to run more than one app (Spotify + Snapchat? Impossible!) But here is the thing. I've never did that before. I guess I know how to flash TWRP recovery and the actual ROM but I have no clue what to do with so many kernels.
My questions are:
1. Why do I need flash some kernel? I just want functional phone for everyday use with the best peformance+battery backup. I'm not looking for some "everyday flashing something new.". so can I just flash the rom without any addiotional kernel?
2. Dolby! I love music and I love Dolby. Can I flash Dolby Atmos?
3. Nobody is talking about heavy RAM usage (like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram - that's all I need actually). I know, 1 Gb is not many but I was suprised when my friend's 1GB ram phone can handle running Snapchat, Messenger and Spotify in one time without any significant lag! HOW?!
4. What is No Optimization? Why do I need it? What is this good for?
5. What is screen blinking bug? I just want to know if I wouldn't mind it.
6. Is there any guide how to revert back to Kitkat stock rom? I'm always trying to be safe.
7. In Kitkat there's possibility to swap internal storage and SD card. Is it presented also here?
Thank you so much for your answers! Really guys! And sorry, my English is bad, I know.
Have a nice day.
i will be glad to guide you
1-make a backup for every thing in twrp recovery savet in ext sd -just in case
2-as a beginner don't disturb your self withe custom kernel section
3-just download the rom and update 11 and gapps
4-no optimization for advanced users who are like to use their own optimization
5-blinking bug is bug common in this rom the screen goes off for 1 sec and turn on again
6-you have to try the rom by your self to judge it for me it is the best rom i have in this device

i shall make a video tutorial on how to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 on a6000 by tonight =)
i have a question too that which rom is stable, ive tried cyanogenmod 12.1 but it lags i believe it hits a bottleneck limit causing it to lag because i cant seem to browse websites on chrome in peace without it hanging for a few...is there any other stable lollipop rom which doesnt consume too much RAM or should i add a custom kernel to squeeze out more performance

Custom kernels r used to squeeze more power and performance, so that u can get the most out of ur phone. If u know how to use custom kernels, dn go ahead with the flashing of ur preferred custom kernel. All ur hanging and lagging isues will be minimized at a great level. I personally prefer telo kernel by Mr. AW., and used the balanced setting given by ED300, and some settings that satisfy me, i haven't faced any lag thereafter.
Good luck!!
