You can just wait until google releases L aosp. It would make life easier lol.
[G2 General] lch920619x:
Blame your lousy carriers rather than LG, even nexus phones take years to get updated when they are branded VERIZON

LG is catching up with their updates, definitely not the best out there, but not the worst any more either.
[G2 General] Ace42:
HTC is one of the few companies that has announced/vowed to bring Android L for their M7 & M8 phones, this means they are supporting their older snapdragon S600 phone. I'll wait for LG to make this announcement, not expecting anything beyond 4.4.4(or .5 if they make it) honestly.

[G2 General] BigBadSheep:
My friend... I understand you!

I come from an Optimus 3D. Started with GingerBread and after awhile (read about 2 years almost), while the others already offered KitKat, they made the update to...Ice Cream Sandwich. And I also promised myself that never a LG again, even if in my house there's LG all over: TV (PX950N - the first 3D TV to be certified by THX studios), fridge, micro HiFi system. But when I saw the G2 and the price (bought for 329 euros the D802 version with 32 Gb), I passed over the promise. In the end they do valid products, but the lack of support and updates is awful.

Surely there will be no Android L update - they offer max 2 updates for a phone. And I think that we'll all out of updates.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

+1. International unlocked phones get faster updates. I wonder why.
[G2 General] Ace42:
International devices may lack the radio bands that are used for NA HSPA+ & LTE. Also they'll lack the software updates for VoLTE for us carriers.

[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
we'll get the update . dont worry

true. why you ask ? no i dont have any source but i know for a FACT that when companies use android, they have some of agreement where the device has to be updated to the latest android device when its less than 18 months from its launching date. the lauch of G2 was on sept 2013. so LG HAS TO update it if android L is released before Feb 2015 :) they dont have an option to "not update " and im sure android L will be released b4 2015
[G2 General] joedajoester:
l is set to be released this fall. Also OceanDEV got L booting on the d802
[G2 General] tacosrdelicioso:
Here's to hoping for a stock l rom and not a hacked together g3 sadness rom
[G2 General] ThatKidDrew:
Personally I'd much rather have an AOSP Android L for the G2
[G2 General] MRobbo80:
Me to but would also like the option of stock lg ROM.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
with the camera features :p
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
I don't get what the fascination with aosp is. Its so bland and boring (just my opinion). I do admit, tho, that L is a lot nicer than previous versions, but carrier skins add quite a bit that is lacking in stock Android. The G3 skin is especially nice. Touchwiz on the S5 came out great also. Sense 6? Also nice.
[G2 General] bharat4ever:
The fact that you say Touchwiz on the S5 was good disqualifies you from any further discussions. :p:
[G2 General] ThatKidDrew:
I have to disagree and slightly chuckle at the above comment lol, but in all seriousness I feel like AOSP is much cleaner, runs faster, takes up less space, and has better battery life. I love Google and how the envision Android, not what manufacturers slap on top of it
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
Seriously lol? I'd take S5 Touchwiz over aosp any day. Just because previous versions of Touchwiz sucked, doesn't mean they all will. Sometimes it seems like aosp users have the mindset of iUsers. Nothing but aosp will cut it and all other versions suck lol.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Ah! So boring!

In all seriousness L looks good. Finally some consistency to the UI.
[G2 General] PWn3R:
Touchwiz is awful. That is all.
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
Care to elaborate besides just saying it's awful? There must be a reason you think that. You can't really judge on past experiences. A lot has changed.
[G2 General] PWn3R:
Yes, I've owned an S3 and an S4. Everything seems slow and clunky compared to stock AOSP. Also, the way they made the OS look and replaced everything with their own modified less function version, IE svoice makes me want to slap someone. I don't like the visual modifications or anything else. Also, Knox seems to be worse than Motos bootloader lockdown.
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
Knox actually isn't that bad. It can be disabled with root. They also have safe strap for the Verizon and AT&T models. They can flash roms but only stock based and no kernels. Have you tried Touchwiz on the S5 yet? Its a lot cleaner and nicer than it was on the S4, Note 3, and especially the S3.
[G2 General] hcdav:
Admittedly, Touchwiz has got better but Samsung keeps adding in useless junk and features into their phones that nobody uses. Sense 6 probably has the perfect balance, maybe lacking a bit on the features side. It looks great though. On the other hand, G3's UI is not the greatest looking but I think it has the perfect balance of usable features without too much bloat.
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
I really like the G3 UI. It's a lot better than it was. Probably my favorite manufacturer skin now.

Hey this is cool and all, but this thread is only for android L discussion. Please stay on topic and add to themes and apps
[G2 General] PWn3R:
No, I just got my S3 upgraded to an S4 (used) because my work S3 died. I use a G2 normally. I haven't seen anything in Touchwiz that I would label as "slick" or "cool" just "annoying" "subpar" or "useless" depending on what feature they molested or replaced from stock AOSP. I find the current G2 UI barely passible, but let's face facts. I bought the G2 cause it was the only phone that you could do whatever (within reason) you wanted to that was good from last year on VZW. If Nexus 5 was an option, that's what I'd have, cause I had to give up my Galaxy Nexus.

Feel bad for everyone who has been trying to port it the last few days :/.
[G2 General] JamieD81:

No the source will NOT make it easier to port, It WILL however make it easier to build directly for the device.

There is a huge difference between porting a rom and building a rom.
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
M7 and M8 can be completely unlocked and they are also getting L right away.

[G2 General] ChrisHoppyBot:
Surely a Company in financial trouble would want you to buy their new products too rather than holding on to the old units??

HTC are just more responsive and I think LG could learn a bit from them. And that's coming from someone who has the LG G2, LG G Pad 8.3 and soon the LG G Watch.
[G2 General] Sensamic:
I think by now most companies should have promised the update to their flagships.

Motorola and HTC have confirmed the update for their flagships.

LG said some time ago that they couldn't promise updates, remember?

I hope they update the G2. It's a fantastic phone. Not getting the update would hurt LG a LOT.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xenious:
disabling roaming indicator on smartphone, home screen background oddities & comm mgr

Apologies if I've put too simple a topic in this forum. I have three questions. My phone is actually a Samsung i320, but I'm hoping these questions apply across any WM5 smartphone.

1) How can I disable the roaming indicator? I've got an older Voicestream SIM and most unlocked/import phones think I'm roaming. I tried the same reg key as on the K-Jam PPC but it didn't work.

2) I've created a custom home screen with a transparent top menu bar. When I select a background jpg for it the jpg is cropped (for lack of a better word) to the size it would display if the top menu bar was not transparent. So depending on how I align the image (top or bottom) I get to see the background color where more of the image should display. Even stranger it behaves normally on the jpg files on the phone labelled "protected content" which seem to make a copy of themselves in \Windows under a shared file name when selected.

3) If I have another WM5 HTC smartphone (a StarTrk for example) is it possible to take that comm manager and copy it over to my Samsung i320? I miss the option to turn on and off the MS push. Alternatively what is the reg key entry to turn this on and off? (Yes I realize I can set schedules,etc, but it was sure nice on my K-Jam to just hit one button to temporarily disable it)

Thanks all for your expert help. :)

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a cheap Chinese phone for my father. After finally having it rooted, now get Chinese notifications (from the Chinese Super User app), which I cannot read. I tried to install another version of Super User, but it does not work. I wanted to download the one supplied with the rootmanual I used (click), but the location doesn't exist anymore, just like the ones on other sites.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] JakeTheOneDude:
Hey guys,

I am having a few bugs with the battery indicator on my Tegra Note 7. It is always freezing up at random percentages and does not give an accurate reading. For example it thinks it is at 81% right now, and if I were to reboot it it will only actually be at like, 40%. I was just wondering is this a bug with only my device? Or are other people experiencing the same thing? I'm at thempst recent OTA, but its something I've been experiencing since I first opened it.

Also, like many others have noted, when I updated to Android 4.4.2, the battery seems to drain A LOT faster. Like, its down 10 percent in 30 minutes on balanced battery. These bugs kind of make me want to refund it and buy an nexus 7 instead. I've only had the thing for about 3 days.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] JakeTheOneDude:
Quick update, I'm just about to do a battery calibration to see if this fixes the wrong reading issue. If not it may be a hardware defect.
