Well after all of this i think i'm going for another brand, i might go for a Samsung, note 2 or note 3. I don't like touchwiz, but this is getting stupid. I bought the international version. What the hell am i not supposed to be angry? I paid 600.00€ for a phone that as never being updated, not to change the ui or fix something. Some of you are happy, i am not, and after i heard that lg as taken ART from 4.4.2 what the!!!! i allways heard lg was rubbish writing code... guess what the people that warned me were right! Disapointed!

why not flash cm11?
[G2 General] Dedzdedz:
I tried cm11 about 2 or 3 weeks ago, it was not worth it back then (battery life was weak), so i flashed PA and now i'm using stock because i was waiting for the update.

Just so you know I can from the Note 2 and s4 to this phone. Most new S4's are locked down very tight and it was very frustrating because I hate touchwiz and there was no way to put cm11 on the devices. And as for the note 2, stock based ROMS run way batter on the G2 (at least as of a couple months ago). So basically i'm saying Samsung can also be very frustrating so be careful! Maybe try out the Nexus 5? Good luck
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
Now with oficial kitkat, soon Will have even better aosp ROMs, LG g2 is device for more sometime Now after mwc releases
[G2 General] Dirtyzecrets:
You can never go wrong with some of the flex roms available! I have had every phone there is and every custom rom there is. Never been so happy! That said, this is my opinion :)

[G2 General] Dedzdedz:
I hate the S4, i Love the Note2/3.

Nexus 5 is supposed to be a great device, but battery is weak, screen is smaller than the G2. Still you can port some Note 3 features to the Note 2 so is not that bad.

I can confirm that after cm11 m3 the battery is equal or better than stock 4.2.2

Thank you mate, might flash cm tomorrow.

AMAZING
[G2 General] Dedzdedz:
I like custom Roms, i just want a stable one on 4.4 and with updates, by saying that cm it's supposed to be like that, but it's still early for that. I just unrooted my phone, i wanna see what LG has got to offer and then i'll decide if i keep the G2 or i'll get another device...

They said 28th Feb I thought.. If it's 3rd now, they've really become unreliable in my eyes..
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
I think they are going to reveal the update on Friday (maybe it won't be the same as the AT&T one?) and start pushing it out on the 3rd.

I used Google Translator, so I might be wrong.

The battery life with CloudyFlex 1.3 in combi with Dori´s Kernel 2.6 is for me amazing, too. For now I have rest Akku 69%. Device runs now 26hrs with 3h 42mins Screen on Time. And i often play like CSR Racing, or listen music with MX Player, with active internet connection for the song texts. Thats for me amazing :laugh::good:
[G2 General] Dedzdedz:
Nooo way looool, i get about 30 to 35 hours max on stock, that is pretty good

[G2 General] Dirtyzecrets:
I know this thread is KitKat only, so we should not disguss other rom. That said, and last thing said, I have never experienced under 45 hours with clodyflex, hekk my record is 80 if I turn off gps and data at night from 23:00 - 08:00

This is with the stock kernel of the rom, and I also remove many apps I do not use (there is some screenshots in a bloatware thread here in general forums)
[G2 General] takeoff342:
Sorry, only because u only get 30h -35h not means other ones like me have more. of course my stats are true, tell me a reason to lie? all users of flex roms can confirm that the akku life is amazing...with the correct kernel u can do more for your akku life. Read the flex Threads here.

[G2 General] Dedzdedz:
Im not saying your lying lol. And by the way i get 30/35 hours with 5/6 hours screen on. I was just happy to know theres a rom that can save so much battery.

[G2 General] takeoff342:
So hope that confirms my data. Sorry if u only have 35h life and 5-6h screen on, u do something wrong. And i always have mobile data and Wifi on. today on train i played a quiz (wer wird reich) alone that 45mins and that takes not more than 4% of akku life.

Dont forget, the Flex roms are hold in dark! the menue is in black, contacts, gallery etc. I think that will be positive for the akku life time.

For ART I assume you checked in the developer options? I find it really surprising that LG would remove it, I don't even know if that's possible and I would expect them to say they don't provide support for issues with ART but this is not an option everyone can easily find (you need to enable developer menu first...)

For WLD some permissions changed in KK, it's known that WLD doesn't work but I believe there is a workaround documented somewhere. Otherwise root solves the issue.

Also it's indeed a drawback with KK that you can't disable apps anymore without rooting...
[G2 General] takeoff342:
Maybe u should wait a few reloads, that the akku will be running correct. U have made a factory reset? Cause its a major upgrade, so it most is recommended to do this, cause much important system files are changed. You be on save side, if u do a factory reset i think, and after that u have less bugs.

Chris
[G2 General] EXT1NCT10N:
Can someone please tell me any way that i can bypass the "this device has been suspected of rooting" error after the device attempts to install the OTA update? Thanks in advance.

[G2 General] lch920619x:

Still need to wait for updates and you cant even flash any custom ROM.

There is a permanent counter in Note3. once a custom ROM is flashed ,warranty void and when you flash back the official ROM it won't be 100% functional.

So , good luck

Why is everyone complaining about 4.4 not coming until summer? I've been on 4.4 for over a week! :D
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
Ehh not a smart move (might call it dumb and idiotic) to go back to a single band LTE phone when triband LTE phones are coming out. Oh well good luck and hope u don't regret it. Not to mention that samsung has knox which is even worse.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
I can't wait until you are proven wrong about the 4.4 update coming in summer 2014. The 4.4 update will come wayyyy sooner than summer 2014 and you can bank on that. Good luck to whatever phone you are going to get because you are going to regret not sticking with the G2.
[G2 General] eths83600:
Personally I wouldn't even care if we don't get 4.4, my phone works perfectly as it is now
[G2 General] InfinitiGuy:
Exactly. I've added xposed and the G2 settings module and now have the perfect phone while still on a stock ROM.

[G2 General] AFC3:
I won't be proven wrong.You will not be getting 4.4 in Q1 2014.June for leaks and official release in July.
[G2 General] dannejanne:
I'm amazed at the amount of people that seems to buy a phone and then expect it to be updated soon. And when it's not, they return or sell it. It's their own fault only for being so ignorant.

I buy my phones for what they have. Not for what they might get.

I couldn't care less about 4.4. I've used it on a Nexus 5. Nothing special at all. The 4.4 rom I've tried on the G2 was choppier than any other rom I've tried. My stock phone with Exposed and a few mods is all I need. I wouldn't even upgrade to 4.4 if it was released tomorrow. Why fix what ain't broken

Enjoy your phone instead of jerking of to numbers.

[G2 General] Norside:
Agree 90% with you there, if they could fix the camera software and optimise the software (there are a few bugs) so it get rid of the microchoppines that I sometimes see (and get more stable fps on gaming) then this phone is perfect! That is the only things I hope lg fix on this device.

Ofc ui update would be great, but it isn't on my highest priority list as it is very functional as it is :)
[G2 General] darknessmessiah:
The only way I know of is using the LG tool and flashing a full stock ROM...
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
i know how you feel, but samsung roms are buggy as hell !! besides they disabled art for a reason ! ITS STILL IN EARLY phases even for vanilla android. itll be fully supported in the next version.if you want art so bad, just flash a custom rom :) the speed improvement is about 5-10% lol. thats harly anything and wont even be visible to the naked eye
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Not even 5-10%. More like 1-5%. The only improvement i see is scrolling and multitasking switching is faster with it. Bad part is it takes more space and some apps arrent compatible
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
yeah, for now at least, i just need 4.4 cus of the trim function which was introduced in 4.3, device kind of slows down at times when loading stuff from the sd card ( many users wont notice it) but it does. , i also want expandable notifications which the 4.2 doesnt have
[G2 General] marleyinoc:
CM11 on 4.4.2 is solving these wants for me with very little issues. Clean install of 2/17 and now dirty 2/24 --with PA KK apps (I think) -- So much nashing of teeth in here when much of what you want, if a little imperfect, is available now.

I agree LG seems to be dragging their heels and are not transparent enough. Please use your energy to torment them on their social media and their support pages in your area.

Enjoying the thread, though. Not sure why folks are so uptight about the arguments and off topic. Yes some of you need to take a breath and try to be more diplomatic. But it's a few minutes of toilet humor per day. Clean it up but keep it up!

[G2 General] Steamer86:
Running and back and forth to stock since purchase. Mostly stock. Just prefer the stability honestly. Not much more from official w/ custom things as I've seen. Btw, dark screens or ui's will do nothing to save your battery life(previous posters). Will wait well after official KK to update.
[G2 General] farhanito:

[G2 General] OptimusL:
Yep not to mention that its been available since 4.1 lol.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
oh dam !! on the galaxy nexus i always ran custom roms from which i could do this with 1 finger :p i completely forgot that i had to use 2 fingers !! ROFL.. thanks for reminding me how it was originally done xD
[G2 General] combat2k:
Still don't get it completely... before KK we can root, and replace bootloader, and replace recovery, and install customs, correct?

what will not be possible (yet) after installing KK ? root will be possible, as I've understood.. but all other things no?

Thanks for answering to this n00bing question ;)
[G2 General] EXT1NCT10N:
I posted this in the other thread and I thought I would post it in this thread as well.

So to clarify for anybody that is confused, the OTA update is the only way to get the official KitKat for the D800 at this time. If you want it now and do in fact have AT&T service, flash the phone to stock using the LG Flash tool and take the appropriate OTA updates. Since you need the updated KitKat bootloader to run an official KitKat ROM and this new bootloader is not exploitable by Loki at this point, a flashable KitKat ROM cannot be created until the bootloader is exploited again.

P.S: You need an exploited bootloader to have a custom recovery.
[G2 General] rbudiharso:
Does this means I can't install the OTA update with rooted stock rom? anybody have any info on this? Thanks in advance
[G2 General] EXT1NCT10N:
I am not sure of that. You do need to use the flash tool to flash COMPLETE stock. After that, some people have reported success with rooting right before the update and then keeping root after it. It's worth a shot; if it fails, just flash back to stock using the tool and try again.
[G2 General] edruig:
What is ART?

And why i dont have expanded notifications when i pull with 2 fingers?
[G2 General] EXT1NCT10N:
A newer runtime other than dalvik. On AOSP ROMs it's proven to be faster than dalvik. In our case however, LG has optimized dalvik in a way that makes it faster on our specific devices than ART would be so it's pointless to have anyways.

I can also confirm that 2 finger expandable notifications do in fact work but only for certain ones. A screenshot would be an example of one that would work.
[G2 General] rbudiharso:
Well, I have the stock rom, I mean the stock that came with the phone along with the stock kernel and stock recovery - only rooted - in backup form, can I flash that and use that to install the OTA? I guess I just have to try it myself when the update is rolling to d802 international version...

Btw lads, The coders at LG are also humans, it ain't a super computer that makes the kitkat

If you're in that hurry code it yourself and see how long it takes.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Yeah, I apologize. Just didn't want to NOT post a link after I mention one. Might get beheaded here... ;)

I saw some 4.4.2 and 4.4 stuff and was not sure what they were. Was going to come back to it tomorrow since it's after midnight here now. I'll keep looking... :)
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
Nah man no problem, you tried to help. :)
[G2 General] rinxas:
Of course, I get your point. But they already have the code. They had it for the korean model almost a month ago and they have it for the AT&T model. And all other international and carrier unlocked devices get the update first, I think.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a developer.

And I still think the G2 is a great device, even with 4.2.2, perhaps that's why I can't wait to see it with KK
[G2 General] stetre76:
just read some interesting news concerning the G2 update on areamobile (German speaking website)

in a nutshell:

LG announced on during a side-event of the MWC that the 4.4 update for the G2 will come to Germany (probably the DACH region = Germany (D), Austria (A) and Switzerland (CH)) in March - nothing new here.

BUT, the article also states that the update will bring KnockCode to the G2 - and I think that's new, because so far it was always mentioned that KnockCode won't be coming to the G2, at least not before the G Pro 2 will be available.

well, let's wait and see...
[G2 General] TheHaso:
There's more than 1 firmware for the international version. I got 10a-EUR (Nordic)

Therefore I think the update is sent to the region's and they do the last bloat cake.

Also when a update gets delayed, there's room for improvement !!
[G2 General] rinxas:
Maybe you're right, it may be a good thing. ;)

[G2 General] ClawOfDoom:
Hmmm even if LG have optimised Dalvic how can something JIT (Just In Time) compiled run faster than ART which compiles ahead of time (AOT)
[G2 General] vPro97:
Because ART is still in development phase.
[G2 General] Prerevision:
1. it actually has a new knock codes and all features which u`ll get with D802 one

2. i`m not sure about ART but LG`s optimized Dalvik can beat ART which is currectly in DEVELOPMENT still and is a instable for now
[G2 General] kewkie:
True, ART is in beta or even alpha stage. And on the Nexus5 there's an "dalvik booster" which outperform ART.

I tried ART on some CM/AOSP rom's and it worked pretty well, i'm just curious how it will work on stock
[G2 General] Prerevision:
well on Galaxy Nexus it had no big difference on CM11 but there was still a normal improvement in speed while used ART so i think when it`ll be finished, ART would respond very fast
[G2 General] jiteshj:
Maybe that crappy bloatware att or any other carrier provides isn't compatible with ART so none of the flagships actually dont have ART till now
[G2 General] kewkie:
Exactly, and as we can see in some comparision videos (G2 4.2.2 vs 4.4.2), dalvik is already pretty fast and responsive on dalvik (apps opening, etc.), imagine ART is fully working :eek:
[G2 General] Prerevision:

[G2 General] mikkis2k:
I just don't get it.. why do i never learn.. i had LG O4X,,, and yet i hoped that LG had learned.. and went for the G2.. it's a great device yes, but i have had 0 updates since i got it.. 0... we are still on D80210A and i see others on B,C,D,E,F,G whatever.. And that a carrier that adds bloat releases a update before the international version is retarded.

And the Koreans have had 4.4 and 4.4.2 for a long time, but all the others have to wait for ages. It's not fair at all, it's good to have testers, but why can't they make it so we can sign up for it? because LG has lost me again, next phone is not gonna be a LG device :/
[G2 General] darknessmessiah:
I think that LG is releasing on some small markets so that those uses can be a controlled beta testing community, without lots of flames and stuff...

First they did it on the korean version and I heard they had some problems there before stabilizing...

Now they gave it to AT&T and the community grows more until they decide to release it to all markets...

Just my opinion, though :fingers-crossed:
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
You might be right.. but AT&T is not a "small" market..:P Anyway, i've given up.. i might aswell get myself a Note4 xD (joke, i rly do hate samsung )

The only little problem is that d802 is the most common variant of this phone, and it is not the consumer's choice to buy this or that variant.

ive been following all the pages yes all 249 of them without a comment but heres my 2 pence worth

im a uk d802 owner what a device firstly bought the d802 in october then swapped it for a nexus 5 but went back to the lg g2 cuz i missed it so much

4.2.2 is a beast great battery and screen and features are great knock on , quick remote q pair with my gpad.

i spoke to lg support in uk who are SBE UK i asked the chap on the phone about the kitkat update he told me they have been told spring march onwards the update would be out.

personally i think lg has released 4.4 and then 4.4.2 to firstly say they launched kit kat pretty quick close to rivals samsung and htc.

secondly i think the d802 will be released with kitkat when knock code and some flex features have been incorporated

up till yesterday i was on cloudy flex (great rom great features) unrooted and went to stock in hope of an update propbably like most d802 owners.

guess its just the waiting the game till we release but i will be check everyday
