[G2 General] Ag00gleUser:
Hi fellow Canadian G2 users. Would like to share some of my experiences with my G2 in case anyone finds this useful. I have an unlocked Wind D801 running on Bell LTE, and managed to get Autorec to work by using D803 Autorec making sure I disabled "Mount Namespace Separation" in SuperSU settings before running Autorec. Was using CM13 for quite some time up until the latest Dec 20 2016 snapshot, and the rom ran quite well for me without any bugs and superb performance (with Antutu score around 55k with performance setting, and around 49k with balanced setting). Only major issue I found was that the camera software (including any Camera apps I found off Playstore - with the possible exception of "Camera MX") sucked quite hard compared to the XCAM/stock LG camera software, and the stock Music player (along with others I found in Playstore) wasn't that friendly with sorting by folder. So I decided to give Cloudy G2 3.3 try for these two reasons. Still running Cloudy G2 3.3 for now, and so far the experience has been good having much better camera software along with decent performance that's only slightly behind CM13 after I changed the CPU governor to Interactive using No Frills CPU Control (with Antutu score around 51k with Ondemand governor, and around 45k with Interactive). Slightly missing Now on Tap through CM13, but as I did not use it much, it was a sacrifice that was more than acceptable, especially as I like LG's UI overall. In terms of battery life with Cloudy G2 3.3, I have found it to possibly be slightly worse than CM13 though standby battery life seems to be on par with CM13 doze with the help of the Greenify app. If Cloudy G2 3.3 doesn't pan out for some reason, I may look to try Cloudy G2 2.2 and set it to run ART with a custom kernel such as Dorinmax. As the phone is still quite decent overall by today's standards in terms of performance and form factor with the slim bezels, hoping to keep this phone as my daily driver for a few more years (possibly with the help of continually updated custom roms). If you have any other useful tips/advice based on your experiences, please feel free to share your insights.

Edit: Experienced signal drops on Cloudy 3.3, so tried out Cloudy 2.2 running ART with Dorinmax kernel. Unfortunately Cloudy 2.2 was quite laggy for me and I couldn't install XCAM, so reverted back to Cloudy 3.3. Cloudy 3.3 is running good for me now as it seems much snappier than Cloudy 2.2. Seems rebooting helped to rectify the signal drop on Cloudy 3.3...you may need to reboot multiple times until you no longer get signal drop if you happen to experience the signal drops
[G2 General] prking07:
Well i have only used it with dorinmax kernel and battery life is superb. Stanby times are insane, and screen ontimes are awesome.
[G2 General] ipandroid:
Tried cloudflex and AEON, both gives great battery, and stability, in the end end I settled on AEON, because I wanted the qremote to work without any mods.
[G2 General] prking07:
Qremote works excellent over here with cloudyflex, i have tv, cable box, fans and air conditioners all set up and working.
[G2 General] ipandroid:
I was referring to the missing bell tv listing (support) in the gremote.

Other than that, I had no complaints about either Rom.

How much screen-on are you getting? I switched to Furnace and battery is significantly better than on Dori's; it also runs cooler :confused:

On Furnace I'm getting constant 4hrs of screen-on but I got a lot of things running. If I could get to 5+ hrs screen-on and improve a bit deep sleep it would be perfect.

tmobile kit kat stock rom

hey, guys. Ive read that some of you have flashed Tmobile stock rom in your LG's. Has anyone tried the Kit Kat update from the Tmobile Variant?

any help with this would be great. I want to get out of the Claro rom but AOSP roms just dont cut it for this phone.:confused:
[G2 General] prking07:
Tmo stock kitkat roms wont work yet since there are no stock kitkat d803 kernels or radios yet.

Sorry, I don't have a PVR, I am assuming that all bell receivers come from the same oem supplier.

I am currently trying out cloudy flex 1.4, had to uninstall the qremote all that came in the rom, then installed a AOSP version to get my bell tv working.......

Can anyone help me?

I have a wind G2 with TWRP v2.6.3.2. I want to flash CM11 or Paranoid Android but am having difficulties. When I flash these roms it fails. Apparently it is because my twrp isn't updated to v2.6.3.4 but when I flash the updated TWRP in recovery it fails. Can anyone guide me in the right direction because i'm fairly new to this.

Sorry for the noob question:

What is the difference between the Furnace kernel and the Dorimanx kernel.

I am running Dorimanx and it seems pretty much exactly like it was stock.

Obviously I am missing something ...

Also, has anyone tried CloudyFlex vs AeonFlex vs SlimKat? And feedback/impressions, performance notes etc appreciated.
[G2 General] gusly:
At this point, the only difference between the two is that Dori fine-tunes his ondemand gov, and the overclock is a max of 2.8 rather than 2.5. There's also the fact that Dori only supports LG ROMs.

Using Aeon with Dori 2.9 at the moment. Not too snappy, but the theming bigfau did looks slick af, and the battery's just plain wild (Good wild). Was actually gonna flash SlimKat later in the weekend :good:
[G2 General] natureburger:
Thanks Gusly. Appreciate the explanations. BTW, your Data working? I had Aeon with Dori but tmy Data went south.

I had tried the 2 flex with the dori and furnace kernels.... I had settled on AeonFlex with furnace as my daily driver. Battery and performance are very good.

[G2 General] Idan73:
Well, the fact that it's an LG (absolute worst when it comes to updates and the only one that does not provide /allow unlocked bootloader/bootloader unlocking, in any shape /form/market), combined with relatively small market that is released as a separate and distinct model which along traditionally doesn't have any open retail channels, but rather always launches through providers, what would someone expect.

Yeah... I wouldn't bank on that being accurate. .rogers is notorious for giving dates and missing them lol.

With the G3 on the horizon I would not be at all shocked to see the G2 get updated after the G3 is out.

People will want the latest and will jump at it..if they update the G2 ppl may just just keep it instead of buying a G3.

I could be way off base here but weve all seen this happen before. Makes no diff to me..I will get a G3 regardless if i havent picked up a few devices before then (having a hard time waiting..want a G flex or G pro 2 or Z2 lol)

claropr has never stated that the update will be in march, but they did state that it will be april, and so have the LG representatives here, i know i work at Claropr. You can follow them in twitter were they have answered many questions about updates to several phones and have stated release time for them also.

We might still get it in March after all, so one + chalked in string of -, that is our relationship with our cellular providers.

You'll be quite happy with one or the other tbh. Slim has fewer features but has been rock solid stable for a while. Mahdi is another legit stable rom with a few more features. Try both out and see what works best for you.
[G2 General] victorbrca:
Thanks. The thing with me is that I have a lot of customization on my ROM, and usually for testing I like to keep the ROM for more than a week. And I'm really not looking forward to redoing all the small settings that titanium doesn't take care of.

Right now I'm running cm11, but its really buggy. Lots of crashes, freezes and slow down.

I'm currently on Mahdi, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Runs flawlessly, great battery life, and the thing literally flies. Word of advise though: stick with the stock kernel the rom provides (houstonn). Other kernels run kinda funny sometimes. Stock one runs like a champ!

Hey guys, I'm on a D803 on Rogers and running the latest mahdi Rom with twrp recovery. I'm wondering what camera app everyone is using. I find the stock kitkat cam to be pretty bad compared to the stock lg that came with jb 4.2.2.
