One thing that I lost with Kitkat update is the aspect ratio correction in the display settings. I used this quite a lot, sad to see it dropped from the framework. Speaking of which does anybody have a apk for the aspect ratio correction app that they can post? :D

It will be great that we'll have 4.4.2 and ART support for KitKat update. I am looking forward to this update. I hope they also fix low resolution panoramic photos.
[G2 General] vPro97:
Any camera improvements/UI changes?
[G2 General] OptimusL:
He wasn't complaining.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
No. First, I have posted link www.fb.com/LGMobile where everyone thinking LG is own him something should go and whine about it https://www.fb.com/LGMobile. LGE and LGMobile won't read XDA, they read there own FB account so it's not appropriate to whine here endlessly

Second, LG released Kitkat earlier than Samsung and even Motorola with HTC. Yes, it's in Korea, but you should blame your operators policy, not LG, for delays with D800 or VS980 being updated do KK. It's not LG to blame. If Verizon is eager to test and release Note 3 KK update, and release it earlier than VS980, what can LG do about it?

It won't fix camera, because camera has nothing to do with OS version. Camera will be left as it is. And camera in Note 3 or Xperia Z1 is no more usefull than in G2. They have same $hit Sony's 135IMX 13Mpix sensor

And I'll tell you that Kitkat is total crap as of now. It's chromium engine that is used in all browsers, especially stock and AOSP browser. So all desktop web pages renders with small to read fonts. I must use some Dolphine or UC browser to walk around this issue

Then my microSD card in my F320 is halfusefull now cause with KK it became read only for most programs. I'm pissed off, it is useful for media or music only. Your G2 is better cause you haven't SD slot. But Note 3 users are pissed off too
[G2 General] eitama:
First, I am not whining, I am complaining, and I'll do it here because I want other users to see it. So, I will not go anywhere, deal with it.

My phone is D802, and not operator model. It's international. So when LG decides it's ready, it's ready. I never buy phone from operators. So if they released to Korea, they can release for D802 - But they didn't.

Camera sucks, I don't care what you alone think, there is a collection of people who thinks the camera sucks, and it's not by accident that there are about 3 MODs in the dev forums to "FIX" camera problems. What if I don't want to root?

I want my camera to focus in reasonable time even if I'm not taking the photo on the bloody sun. The sensor is just a sensor, you have drivers and software behind it. The S3 and Note II cameras were much better.

LG is not taking it's time to release a polished update, they diverted resources to invest in projects that will earn revenue. Updating G2 faster will NOT BRING REVENUE.

They can bring a solid update very fast if they dedicate the man power, but instead they don't give s*** about you or me.

BTW, I am not saying Samsung does, or HTC does, but even so, they updated international versions faster. (or rather at all.)

[MENTION=4772199]Eric[/MENTION] and how is ART compared to dalvik
[G2 General] ericsmissingteeth:
it felt a little laggy. i changed it back to dalvik. but maybe i should give it another shot. i'll put it back in ART mode now

haven't noticed any ui changes. camera i didn't try out yet
[G2 General] hamad138:
If u choose art, try to power off ur device for 30 seconds and then restart.

[G2 General] wargreymon89:
So do you think we get, the 4.4.2 thats latest in Korea or first 4.4 release when they decide to release it international? I would assume its easier for them to push updates quickly in Korea and have them tested there before rest of the world gets it.
[G2 General] RayTrue04:
LG is just now being rumored to release kk in Korea and already here we come chiming in about how they're the first. Stop the fanboyism.. HTC One and Galaxy Note 3 international already had 4.4.2 since Jan and the Sprint One is also on kk.. And then you even go as far as to say even Motorola when they were the first non Nexus device to sport KitKat... Anyways if it did hit Korea I hope Sprint gets it soon as they're always the first carrier to release.
[G2 General] j0ff:
They released 4.4 in Korea in December, they're now releasing 4.4.2 in Korea. Both are kk.
[G2 General] RayTrue04:
Ah ok that makes sense. Well it still didn't beat Motorola but I'm glad at least one variant of the G2 is up to date. And I still put money the Sprint G2 will be the first US G2 to get some KitKat lovin just like the One.
[G2 General] vPro97:
I asked the Danish LGE team, but they really don't seem to be up to date.

They told me that the release date would be end of q1 and that it would be 4.4 because 4.4.2 was only fixes for the issues Nexus 5 had and the G2 didn't have them (then explain why 4.4.2 rolled out in Korea?). Basically nothing you can use for anything.
[G2 General] kolembo:
Korea updating + ART now.

[G2 General] ckyy:
God damn those on off switches look so bad. Are LG's UI designers 5 years old??
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
And so we read like 5 pages of similar comments "Mom, when I'll have my kitkat?" instead of discussing about Kitkat features

Well, we don't care about those people who think camera sucks. Instead those people should GIVE US EXAMPLES comparing shots made on G2 and other smartphone camera in same condition, as in this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607744&page=8. People in that tread say that G2 camera is way better than Sammy's ones.

And about those FIXES :fingers-crossed:, they're just placebo, they fix nothing, the camera will focus faster in lowlight but the pics will be worse than on stock.

Look @ this They say G2 excels all others brands even crappy bloody Samsung in night shots

So than swap G2 for Note 3 if you mainly use of smartphone is taking night shots. Very weird, but we are tolerant :cool:

[G2 General] EsmeWeatherwax:
My advice: Have a break, have a KitKat ?

But seriously,...I am expecting the update at the end of March. I'm curious about it and waiting impatiently, but I prefer a well tested update that takes some time to be delivered over a crappy one which is pushed out in a hurry.

Good things need time ?
[G2 General] abdel12345:
So hopefully it turns out good and not crap lol because they are taking their time.

What do you guys think will be New in the update ? I know the Korean version didn't change much but If it's taking all this time I hope it's good and it actually makes a difference. At least we'll get immersive mode.

Also when the update comes out If I only root can I update or will I have to unroot first? On my nexus 5 I could just update normally but I lost root. I'm hoping is the same with the g2 because I want to just root while I wait so I can restore some app backups but that's It. I won't be deleting any system apps or installing a custom recovery or anything.
[G2 General] EsmeWeatherwax:
Hell, no, don't even think about taking the update when rooted. This would put your G2 in a bootloop.

You'll have to unroot first by flashing the original firmware.

Running 4.4 from past hour and this thing is amazing.
[G2 General] citytrader:
I have used the custom PA 4.4 Nightly 23B, some points to take into consideration for the people that has D802 (SEA):

THE GOOD:

- Amazing speed compared with stock.

- The PA 4.4 version 23B is very stable.

- During the calls, audio quality seems better.

THE CONS:

- Gps is not working fine and Google Maps has issues with this ROM.

- GPS does not have the blinking circle and the circle fixed when its locked.

- Sound volume from speakers is lower than stock

- MENU button is missing and is not possible to change the layout.

- Battery percentage has the same color of tha battery icon and at the moment is not possible to turn it

black to check the percentage, the battery icon is white.

- Much less customization than stock

- Takes a bit longer than stock to get cell signal

- The developer of PA 4.4 seems to do a good work at developing, a bad work not answering issues when you write them

he needs to learn from Neatrom from S2, seems the dev is in God mode, I don't like this behaviour even if the Rom is good.

The good of this ROM is its very stable considering its in ALPHA stage, different from CM 10.2 that is pure crap.

Till the issues are solved, I will stick to stock.
[G2 General] Bigralphn:
Very happy stock at the moment. I got my update on my Nexus 10 tab. Kitkat is smoother and gets better battery life. ART, transparent bars and Experience launcher were left out. I am sure Verizon will add or remove something, they normally do. It is a very nice update but not earth shattering. Some in this thread may be disappointed as they seem to be expecting a lot.
[G2 General] SquireSCA:
Same here. To me, I think that KitKat is a letdown. Doesn't look much different, and my N7 doesn't seem much faster... It is ok, it just isn't the "major release" that I was expecting.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
I'm also running the PA KitKat 4.4 23B, but on D800 ATT and I have Better news to report:

Good:

GPS works as on Stock.

NFC, WiFi, Data, Phone, Bluetooth - All work as before, if not better!

My battery life seems to have increased on 4.4, and Stock was Amazing!

Speaker Phone Volume is a little low, but it was on Stock too. Other Volume seems normal.

VERY FAST in the hand. Actually a little slower than CleanROM XE 2.0 on AntuTu, but feels faster getting things done. This could be due to

Battery life and Speed can be expected to increase after mods.

It's Super Stable, Super Clean, Super Neat, Super Cool!

Did I mention Battery Life?

Bad:

No Menu Button (This is due to KitKat being Bone Stock)

NO customizations added yet. Not as many settings and Customizations as stock, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It keeps it FAST and Sleek.

I would also like the old Battery Percentage back, but I'm sure it won't be long before there are all sorts of additions coming. It's only about 1-2 weeks old so far.

Summary: Very Good Experience. If/When LG comes through with 4.4, it will be a very cool ROM. Especially if they make it as stable and usable as their Stock version. As long as they don't Bork it, I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.

I feel the Developer, Houstonn, is doing an Awesome Job. I've built quite a few ROMs myself on the Windows Side, and I have to say, when the comments are coming in as fast as they are on his threads (MANY THREADS), you don't have the time to answer All of them yourself. You need to rely on other forum members to help answer some of them. He did come in last night and stated that he's currently taking all our comments to heart and working on a new release, along with helping a few other forum members get their ROMs updated to KitKat. He's VERY busy, and cannot be everywhere at once. AND, he's the FIRST to get 4.4 on the G2 that is actually worth running as your daily driver.

Quote from his thread: "As houstonn has already mentioned, without a logcat, bugs won't be considered as those. It's the least we could do to help, if we run into problems."

I'm sticking with this over Stock, and won't be looking back! Looking forward to LG's KitKat release...
[G2 General] citytrader:
I'm agree with you, is the first time I'm having an eye on a custom ROM, superb work of houstonn, for the other side, Sale from Neatrom (Galaxy S2) did a wonderfull job too, of course not at the houston level, but he answered the questions most of the times , not all the time you need to send the logcats, for the gps not working you can see on Google Maps, probably Google Maps is buggy on Kit Kat and is not a rom issue, but being testing the GPS with dedicated applications and getting the problem with a clean install rom, is probably a problem on the rom with D802 (SEA).

I will stick to stock until I see at least the GPS working fine, better loudness and the menu button present, the difference in speed compared to stock is incredible.

lg apps for PA 4.0

trying to figure out how to get lg apps like smart share, camera and quick remote in the PA 4.0 G2 rom. tried installng from apk, using root browser to place in/system/app and tried flashing zip in TWRP all with same result, not sure if anyone can help kinda new to this thx
[G2 General] houstonn:
Does anyone see a lot of 4.3 Roms or did? Did anyone build for 3 or more variants? Did u see any 4.4 Roms? Did u see anyone build 4.4 for 4-5 variants? I work full time 9 hours a day. I have a family a kid. Do I get paid for this? No I see ppl buying other ppl phones to work on it? If I were to answer each and every question although most are repeated. I would have no time to even work out an issues I could. Do u see any other sources out there? I share all my updates my sources. Would u sit there and read hundreds and hundreds of lines of error code for nothing? Next time you wanna talk about customer service please consider asking yourself what have you done? Maybe I should just build for myself right? Then I could answer my own questions . I build for other devices as well. An other threads I have too.

Does lg answer each and everyone' s mags? Maybe they should right? U paid lg or whichever variant carrier and not me.

The funny thing is I don't even get to enjoy my phone cause I'm too damn busy either working or working on the ROM.

Anyone here using verizon model on another company? It doesn't let me check for updates (it's grayed out). Is that because I'm using lycamobile instead of verizon?

Does this meen I won't get kitkat from verizon unless I activate it with verizon? That would suck

LG G2 Android 4.4.2 update starts rolling out in Korea, brings ART support

Android 4.4.2 has begun to roll out to the LG G2 in Korea, this according to an anonymous tipster over at Phone Arena. The update was originally expected by the end of January in Korea, but rolling out almost a week late should not set LG back too far in rolling out this update to G2 phones around the globe by the end of the first quarter.
