Friends my doubts is the question of kitkat rom very good paranoid, plus the version of my lg g2 is the Brazilian D805, only that it is identical to the model LG G2 D802, has nothing to questinonar unless the band 4g more that's the least of the matter is that this rom installed on my lg d805 g2, antuntu my ta giving measly 22,000 points, and saw the end of the post with a guy posting 35222 points, one can say why? will I have to modify my original kernel? and install a better one?
Hey,
I am going to buy a new phone, however I am still doubting between the G2 or the N5. They are both equally priced, altough the G2 is a little bit cheaper with an LG cashback.
At this moment the G2 has a head start due to the larger battery, better camera (4K?!) and better specs overal (IR blaster) and I am going to use a custom rom anyway ( tips anyone ?).
However I am still in doubt to what the support of the community is.
Thus what I wanted to know is, how is the developper support and the community support of the G2 in comparison to the N5?
At first glance there seems to be much more support, developpers and custom roms for the N5 than the G2, can anyone tell me if this is indeed the case.
Is there btw a custom rom similiar to that of the N5 (with perhaps quickremote support)?
Thanks

The Nexus phones have pretty much the largest development base, so yes that's true. If you want access to the most roms, Nexus wins. Battery life would suffer though, that's why I chose the G2. There are some great roms for the G2 though, you have to do some searching to see if you like them. Cyanogenmod is the closest to the N5, which is just vanilla kitkat. For quickremote I think you need a stock based rom, but there are a few out there that have a dark theme like vanilla kitkat.

Thank you for your reply, I had a S3 where I had CM 11 unofficial on it (loved it).
I however read that the battery life of CM11 on the G2 is pretty bad.
One quick question again, I am from belgium and will thus be getting the international 802 version: I noticed there is a devide between the different versions, does that mean that I won't be able to use roms in the 801 forum ?

There are many roms that will work with all G2 versions, but roms only designed to work on 801 will not work on 802 without being ported (by a developer). The title usually says which version(s) it will work with. Some say "All variants".
I can't comment on CM because I run a customized stock rom. Great battery life and I really like white themes rather than dark.

Okay understandable, but that's kinda dissapointing about not being able to flash 801 on 802 or the other way around,
To my opinion, not a lot of roms will/could be ported to the other version. I believe this is of such a great influence that the N5 would be a wiser choice.
Can you help me out a bit and point me in the right direction as to where I can find these "many" custom roms ?
I have searched in G2 android development and G2 android development (802) section and the amount of custom roms I found was very limited:
Kit Kat baked is unofficial for the 802
Gummy Rom is not available for the 802
Btw:
1. root
2. TWRP
3. CM11/ Pacman/Paradroid ?

Root and TWRP are for sure available. Did you check the original android development section for roms? Probably still not as many as for the N5. I never heard of Gummy rom, but the others I have.

as for threads this one is aosp only http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/orig-development and as long as it says d802 in it you will be able to flash also d802 specific thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802
as for development and different models each devise is different from there sources to their networks so each has to be developed to differently unlike the nexus which is a one for all device also pretty much all the features which are for stock g2 have been ported over and battery life is amazing on both stock and aosp especially compared to the n5
So now that the OTA Lolipop update is rolling out, do you think anyone can upload and port their camera APK and files so that we can FINALLY have a decent camera on custom roms? I would do an OTA update but I am on T-Mobile and not AT&T
Just porting the apk will probably result in a fc, you need the framework too.. Porting all of that and implementing it in AOSP variants could take a long time
The LG G3 camera is about the one thing that is keeping me from putting on a AOSP or CM12 rom. I am impatiently waiting for LG based rom, just debloated like CloudyG 2.1
Is the LG G3 camera that much better then CM12 or Moto camera? would love to see comparison pics.
Porting the Camera from LG stock based rom to a CM12 or AOSP rom is very difficult as LG wont release the sources so trying to do things from scratch is very difficult and the the camera function on CM12 and AOSP roms is very limited and will never compare with a stock based rom in terms of camera. Also just to point out if you check the android development section you will see many custom stock roms.
You could try the latest moto x camera.. Im using it on stock but i think it works on cm too

G3 Mm rom started rolling in Poland. Can it be ported to our phones? Do developers need MM kernel, source?
As far as i know it cant be done...just UI and apps and stuff like that
i remember reading someone saying , do g4/g3 have mm? then no, now that they have it that means it can?
same happened when lollipop was out and we were running kk, the thing is that as far as i understand, devs needs G2 source code from lg and then they will mix g2 mm with g3 mm, until the g2 dont get mm(and release that source code), then there wont be a port of the g3-g4-g28 or whatever
We don't actually get firmware ports. We get "OS" ports, or rather newer files mixed with a base firmware from the G2.

-will LG G3 could get an Android N update?
+Hi ------, we don't have an exact schedule for all UK networks just yet. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we can. Thank you.
Maybe we will have CM 13.1 / 14 ..
Personally I don't think that we'll see a stock Nougat on our devices. LG didn't provide MM for the G2, so I think our G3 won't get any N :/
Maybe with some custom roms but I dont think that we will see stock N for g3.

I don't think we'll get stock N. But most probably there'll be stock and aosp based custom roms.
