excuse the question , since i searched the forum and found nothing related to the subject, but is there any dual boot option available for the lg g2?
was thinking about the possibility of running both factory rom (since im very pleased with what lg provided plus a lil tweaking of my own to suit my needs better) and a test/2nd rom (Ex. cm10.2/11/aokp.... )
people are jumping around roms and this might solve a lot of problems people are having due to bad flashes/errors/etc....
anybody around working on it? any plans of something similar?
i know i had that on my old n trust samsung s2 but i couldn't help keeping up with the latest hardware (actually sold my samsung s4 n got the G2 due to many factors. main factor was the s4 simply was an unfinished product)
+1 for Dual booting capabilities!
+1 would love this feature
i think i got way to dualboot , what the name of SDCard partition? i mean the mmcblk0pxxx etc..
Hello!
I'm wondering if its possible to return to stock/unrooted/locked state after G2 was unlocked/flashed to Cyanogenmod as if nothing was done to the device for warranty purposes? I just bought G2 for one of my parents and can't stand the LG skin and have only experience with this with Samsung devices.
What's the story with LG devices, especially LG G2? Looking to flash asap.

Oh damn! This news made my day.
Make it happen LG, come on.
Interesting that this still lists the V507L (the 4G LTE version) even though it's not been released yet and many people think it never will.
Nice! I was thinking to move to CM11 now that it seems to support HDMI working (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49601193), but if this update happens soon I'll wait for it... :fingers-crossed:

Yea but the update still keeps lg's crappy skin and bloatware intact while the cm11 rom doesn't. Plus you won't be waiting around for likely a long time to grt the update. BUT at least lg's rom is guaranteed to work with basically every app while there are lots of reports that cm11 roms don't work with a number of games.

actually, you can delete the bloatware. LG actually lets you delete it while others just let you disable it. pretty sure I did this to some aps before I went with cm rom.
Ohh, that's awesome. I've been enjoying the LG 4.2.2 ROM, but this will just sweeten the deal. Looks like the industry as a whole is expecting to get their flagship lineups to 4.4 and will probably leave them there; that'll probably make the consumer market happy for a year (or at least until their next wave of products hit). In the meantime, there's always CM!

I don't think the LG software is that bad, especially if you use a 3rd party launcher. It's true that the custom roms look nicer, but sounds like you lose some features, e.g., Slimport.
For me, the best solution is a customized rom based on LG stock that is compatible with all the apps, but cleans up the interface a little.

Agreed. A custom launcher would be nice, but this will do for me. I love me my Knock On (power button? What's that?) and HDMI. And as non-stock as LG's interface is, it's still far closer to stock than most OEMs and will work for me. I'm coming from Acer and Asus tablets and it's much more like them than Samsung, etc.

I am hoping that article is correct. I used to use CM11 on my old tablet but tried it and a couple others on my LG and missed the LG interface. SO I am now running stock with Apex. A 4.4 update should be nice.
I don't mind the interface. Frankly I tend to ignore them on tablets. I use a tablet for it's apps not for how pretty the icons look...
I considering trying a custom ROM but I need slimport as I output the tablet to HDMI.
I also read that the knock on feature does not work with customer roms and I actually like that function.
4.4 with everything working is just fine with me.
Now we wait.
Unless of courses Samsung releases it's new Tab Pro 8.4 before then. I'm planning on picking it up.

Well, I don't wait anymore. Knock on and off works with CM11 and Mahdi ; HDMI through slimport as well. It might even work with the other roms, but I haven't tried them.
This is good news as I'm still running the stock 4.2.2 LG Rom on my g pad 8.3 and don't feel like messing around with custom rooms hopefully it comes out soon.

Afaik they both use the same board and cpu but thats all i know, if there is anything i can do to help you with the g flex side id be glad to
Have a nice day,

Hello guys, as you know, LG G3 is the best smartphone with 2K i ever used, Unfortunately, my phone did not g3 alive, I did find a lot of videos on youtube to make it work again, but I was not lucky, I accidentally found this video about how the screen LG I think it would be helpful to everyone.
My LG phone loses power and no way to make it work again, should I buy LG G5 at the moment?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017
Wrong title. Replace 2014 with 2017.

Hello there,
Plug your phone to the charger with the battery on and try booting it.
If it boots then the battery should get replaced if it doesn't, it may have been Hard Bricked.
If you are bored of LG G3 then go buy LG G5,it's a really speedy phone.
Also Nexus 6p is a great choice.
Greetings and Happy New Year!
