Hi all,
as u perhaps already know, after almost 3 years with my beloved LG 2X, I bought the LG G2 D802 32 GB last week
Now... I've installed the LG Drivers onto my Win 8.1... I've rooted the phone and installed TWRP recovery.
It's time to flash my first custom rom on the new little monster
But what rom ? I've seen that some roms are sized 1 GB while others... 200 MB ( as almost all roms of my other android' based devices ). Obvioulsy I've looking for a 4.4.2 rom. From what rom it's better to begin ? Actually, what's most stable 4.4.2 rom ?
Thx in advance

It depends upon your choice either Stock or AOSP based.
Start with PA4.1 or CyanoGenMOD 11.

As I can remember, for example, for my 2X... I held the stock original rom for first 4 days Then only cyanogen, paranoid, pacman, kang etc etc rom, I think all cyano's based I've always thought the cyanogen with reduced sizes rather than stock may be slim, lite and fastest than stock... My opinion, my hope.
PS If I use hot reboot or a similar app to reboot into recovery, no problem. TWRP starts, I'm able to backup the system, etc. If I use the vol - & power on button, no way to enter into TWRP

1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold Vol Down + Power button
3. When LG logo flashes leave power button and hold it again (Don't leave volume down button)
4. You will reach to Hard Reset menu press power button twice
5. Instead of hard resetting you will be moved to TWRP/CWM.

PA 4.1
Nameless rom
cyanogenmod 11
slimkat (but i had an overheating issue)
First, you have to decide between AOSP exeprience or LG Android experience. I tried several AOSP ROM-s cuz KK but went always back to the modified stock ROM's. Why?
a) QuickWindow.
b) There are some LG Apps I like (QuickRemote, SplitView tec)
c) I use my G2 with my corporate exchange mail account and have never used a better email application than the LGEmail before. I can set out of office replies from the application.
d) Not a big deal but I really like the weather animation on my lockscreen.
e) I cannot live without the horizontal quick settings and became frustrated on the classical quick settings on any AOSP ROM (even if there are some 3rd party solutions).
My personal recommendation: do not play with 4.4.2 (LG) ROM-s, try CloudyFlex 1.4 - very nice and stable. As long as there is no official update from LG for open phones and no custom recovery on KK and no Xposed 2.5 I won't switch to 4.4.2.
However, everything is matter of personal taste. Try and decide yourself.

Let me reply :
a) QuickWindow : the possibility of reduce the size of an app, like in windows OS ? Not so usefull, for my usage...
b) There are some LG Apps I like (QuickRemote, SplitView tec) : quick remote is wonderful, I've found the porting of this app for any kind of roms... I've to test it.
c) I use my G2 with my corporate exchange mail account and have never used a better email application than the LGEmail before. I can set out of office replies from the application : I use aqua mail
d) Not a big deal but I really like the weather animation on my lockscreen : not so usefull, for my usage...
e) I cannot live without the horizontal quick settings and became frustrated on the classical quick settings on any AOSP ROM (even if there are some 3rd party solutions) : ya, it's true, really nice
Thx u man
PS I've read that with stock kitkat, there's no way to make usable CWM / TWRP recovery... :-o It's true ?!

with stock KK you will lose custom recovery
Before to attempt to flash my first rom ( PA ), I've read some topics about to recover a bricked phone...
Not very nice to read 32 GB that become 16 GB
There's a guide / help / how to, in order to avoid ANY problem ? Or a guide to recover the phone with correct rom version ( I've a G2 D802 32 GB Italian ) ?

I've ran into these issues whilst not paying attention to what I was doing but have recovered from them all, so its pretty safe, if you want to run stock KitKat there will be custom recovery very soon probably in the next few days as well as fixes for the bugs in aosp as KitKat kernel source has been released, I'm currently running Dirty Unicorn and love it

Hi there,
I recently rooted my Rogers LG G2 d803 and everything has been working fine except the camera. Whenever I open it (including other camera apps), it just says "Cannot connect to camera" giving me no choice by to quit it. I have googled it, but only found threads regarding different phones, so I don't want to take any actions without knowing if it will work for my phone.
Can someone please give me a suggestion on how to fix this problem? I understand I should flash a kernel, based on other threads, but I don't know which one and how to go about doing it safely.
Thank you!
Oh, and it's running 4.4.2 JB and Kernel is 3.4.0.
Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

Hello again ^_^
Soo guys I need help once again and the Problem is :
I have Installed months ago CM 12.1 and it is working fine without any Problem but I cant use anymore "Peel Smart Remote" it says it dosent Support my Device but before I Installed a Custom Rom it was Supporting and working fully functional which makes me weird because I dont think that a App make it possible to Controll ur TV / DVD there is something Inside the Device which make it happens so I think there something with the ROM it selfs.
I need ur guys Advice/Help how to fix this
Thanks
I never thought it depends on the rom. As long as the hardware is there it should be fine. Have you tried never build of cm? With N5 port it's just fine.
