The nice part is that I generally don't feel the need to use different ROMs on LG phones, not the way I do with BloatWIZ phones anyway. Yeah, LG adds quite a bit of stuff, but some of it is useful and most of it goes away if you want it to. It's not minimalist like Motorola's new UI, but it's not insistent and overbearing like Smasung's. Strikes a nice balance I think.

Heck the number one mod of the OGP was the removal of the Q-Slide bar in the notification shade. So what does LG do? Allow removal of it in their later builds. They listen to us. Samsung's reaction to us removing their bloat is to add more bloat and make it harder to remove.

I had trouble rooting several devices with WIndows 8, despite enabling unsigned drivers, etc., until I finally turned off my antivirus (Avast), then had no problem.
[G3 General] CheesyNutz:
This is the 1 worry I have with wanting to pick up the g3 no root or bootloader unlock... I had the g2 and returned it for the note 3 development is not to bad on the note 3 but I'm bored to death with TouchWiz and looking for a change

Some Place in rhe milkyway
[G3 General] Colchiro:
Root shouldn't be a problem, but the bootloader probably will. There are already two methods of rooting known to work on other versions of the G3.

Today I feel comfortable waiting for the bootloader to attempt to be unlocked. I have the Note II and it has an unlocked bootloader and actually works fine. (I should be content with it.) I should just pick up the moto 360 and be happy.

However, as July 11 comes closer, I may just get impulsive and throw care to the wind.
[G3 General] CheesyNutz:
Yea the bootloader is not as important to me as root so I can debloat lol

Some Place in rhe milkyway
[G3 General] Will32:
But isn't bootloader important so we can use recovery to make backups just before enabling a thousand xposed mods?
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Yup, an unlocked bootloader is indeed incredibly important.

I'm very surprised we haven't seen a bounty yet for a boot loader

[G3 General] ant78:
Why would that stop somebody in Europe . Asia or Australia from starting a bounty or is it just people in the US allowed to start one?
[G3 General] 557953:
I'd be willing to contribute. Dunno if we are allowed a "Bounty Thread" sure there would be a few people ready to get modding when this is done.
[G3 General] ant78:
Me too I'd donate £10 ;)
[G3 General] 557953:
I would happily donate the same figure :) its easily worth that, maybe a mod can tell us if we can start a thread to see how much we can get together..... only problem would be hoping people are true to their word.
[G3 General] paratox:
count me in with 20$ (15€) for a boot loader bypass or unlock and custom recovery!

who wants to start the bounty thread? i think we should do this!
[G3 General] ant78:

Agree but I have been riding on LG since the great Optimus P990, I've seen/heard many complaints, but slowly but surely LG is on the rise and for me on the peak on manufacturing, designing, innovating, etc. I could live with some fences, for the developers always jump them.

[G3 General] sabret00the:
What's any of that got to do with development? In fact weren't they the only big handset manufacturer to not release a GPe of their flagship?
[G3 General] 557953:
Just wanting to confirm here for anyone who does not follow the thread I started, looks like big progress is being made :)
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Only sort of. They released a GPe version of the G Pad 8.3 rather than the G2.

And no it doesn't have much to do with development. Basically its the same as the accessory problem: the fewer machines out in the market, the less drive to provide aftermarket support from third parties. Accessories AND developers. That being said there have been plenty of tweaks and hacks out there for what's been needed.

But there's also the fact that LG's UI isn't nearly as bad as BloatWIZ, and therefore doesn't NEED as much hacking. ;)
[G3 General] Epix4G:
Why release a GPe of the g2 they built the nexus 4 and 5 ....

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[G3 General] sabret00the:
I think you're confused as to the point of development. As for LGs UI. It plays with notifications, auto expanding them all and screwing with the order. It attempts to mark all intents as default. It causes the phone to crash if you use Chromecast and then use the volume keys. There are actually a ton of issues, take off your blinkers. Everyone that buys a device has to right to tinker and improve upon how it comes. Our phones are not appliances.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Because the G2 isn't the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5.
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Not saying we don't have the right. I hacked up my Optimus G Pro. Twice. But the fact is that fewer people see the need to hack LG flagship devices versus Samsung, therefore fewer resources are applied to them. That's just life. You might want to look to your own blinkers on that.
[G3 General] ant78:
Your right but I'd love the option to just have asop or a cm build
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
I wouldn't mind the option either (thought if I end up using WiFI calling on T-Mobile I'd probably have to skip it), but I can live with the LG build (which is why I ordered a G3 for T-Mobile in the first place, because if I have to live with stock, it's a stock I can live with).

Samsung's, on the other hand, drive me insane and I feel a compulsion to either get CM on there or fling it into a wall. Preferably the latter. Cyanogen is an amazingly drastic improvement over TouchWIZ. It's a small improvement over LG's build to my mind, but not night and day like with a Sammy.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
Funny how tastes go, i was playing with all of the phones in the store the other day and HTC's skin is by far the most impressive to me. G3 isnt out yet so i'll save my reservations, but i was really digging the latest sense as far as skins go.
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Personally I can't stand 4x4 launchers, luckily that's an easy enough fix for most setups. SenseUI is pretty slick actually, but I don't like their built in widget selection, it's not as bad as Samsung's but I prefer LG's. And with LG I don't have to bother with Nova Launcher either.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
I could understand that. I like to run devices stock for a while and only resort to root when I fall behind on an important update (i like to maintain the camera quality). People always say just use Nova launcher and stuff, and that's fine to cover up a skin. I own a Nexus 4 right now, but you know what my biggest peeve is after battery life and camera? The Menus! They are so blandddd. I feel like i'm running cmd prompt or a webpage from 2002. Just white text and a black background. Which is why I didnt just get a GS5 and throw Nova launcher on it. I hate those touch whiz menus. I liked Sense menus, i didnt like the g2 menus but I'm dying to try out the g3's when they bring them to ATT stores tomorrow.

Not many people care about the Menus but i find it to be just as much a part of the design as the home screen and widgets.
[G3 General] Heisenberg420:
Well I've got HTCs new skin on my m7 right now so I guess I'm just bored of it. The theme chooser is nice but as far as extra features go sense is pretty basic.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
I have a Nexus 4, and that's how a feel about stock right now.
[G3 General] Enddo:
What does only sort of mean? The guy asked about flagship devices. The LG G Pad 8.3 is not a flagship device. So no, not only sort of. Not at all
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
The G Pad 8.3 was/is their flagship tablet. Perhaps you meant flagship phone? I didn't.
[G3 General] :
I don't feel any need of. Custom recovery yet. got root anyway on. Latest firmware (Sweden)

All I wanted ?
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
So long as I can get root, that means Helium will work without issue, and I can do gamepad-to-touchscreen mapping. That's all I really need at this point.
[G3 General] :
Towelroot is your friend ?

What I did to gain root

Install towelroot and run once done. (No reboot needed)

Opened supersu and saw that su binary was installed but I couldn't update.

Downloaded super user from play store (same as cwm manager dev) installed and it asked me to install binaries.

Supersu app popped up and I granted it.

Then it rebooted to recovery and I rebooted the phone.

Opened supersu it asked to remove superuser, selected yes and opened supersu now it didn't need to update binaries.

All apps as titanium backup and xposed is running great

Now only problem is to solve the ram that goes to 2.0g used by no reason
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Word in the T-Mobile thread is that root isn't working. That's a bit worrisome. Helium will still work without root...sorta. But no button mapping.
[G3 General] galpec:
By the way have you guys/girls (with LG G2) tried the [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] or the [MENTION=4947573]OptimusRs[/MENTION] G3 ROM port.

They are incredible all the software features of G3 in the G2...

Both are perfect... When I see a SAMSUNG ROM... I think where this guys stopped to innovate in software and exterior design... LG is better than anyone right now, I use Stock ROMs and they have all I need and a great useful pluses...

So developers are great, but LG has their own contribution on doing great merges of the Android & their own stuff, mainly on the KK ROMS.

Totally agree.
[G3 General] kthung:
I am 100% sure we will have some sort of development and will at some point be able to load a custom recovery and flash custom ROMs. I stated this in another thread, but my brother had an HTC Thunderbolt (super locked down and a tiny development community since it was a VZW exclusive phone) and even that was eventually able to run custom ROMs. Coming from an HTC incredible and GS3 which both had HUGE dev communities, this used to be a big deal to me as I would be flashing new ROMs every week. These days, it's not such a priority. Most manufacturers have finally figured out how to make the stock experience not completely unbearable. I'm willing to wait and I know it will happen.
[G3 General] nils.pap:
I am thinking about getting a G3 once it gets a bit cheaper, but coming from the Nexus 5, this is really a dealbreaker for me.
[G3 General] npenree:
On both Linux and Mac, I could only get adb working by switching the phone USB mode to PTP rather than MTP.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
What USB mode? I see PTP and MTP?
[G3 General] npenree:
Switch it to PTP... then try adb.
[G3 General] 557953:
Well has been a couple of weeks since last post in here and sadly not much has changed.

I know that people want to achieve root on all variants before further modding takes place.

I'm starting to get a little worried though, we have had that Chinese CWM available for a few weeks now which is perfectly capable of flashing ROMs although maybe not much else, we have root on the International G3 and most of the other variants (not all I know) seems to be working thanks to the great Purple Drake method.

But still not seeing anything new in the Dev section, the only 2 LG based ROMs and only 1 working on International version currently. Don't get me wrong Sphinx seemed pretty good to me but no so different from stock so although I will always try out new versions but I didn't find if offered me (IMHO) anything better than stock once I debloated.

There was the Bootloader unlocking talk a few weeks ago which seems to have all gone away, I know the thread was closed but it was getting so much spam it seemed for the best and nothing stopping it being discussed in another discussion thread.

As far as I know I've not seen comment on bootloader unlock from any Dev's for some time, either full unlock related or bypass related, either would be fine for many users I'm sure. But we seem to have stalled already at such an early time in the life of the phone.

I completely get that Dev takes time and neither I or any other users are owed anything in terms of development, I just think it's a shame that a great piece of hardware is looking like it's stagnating.

Maybe I'm being to hasty in my viewpoints but it's just that I really like my G3, but I want to love it like I did with my S3 when I could throw a million mods roms and kernels at it and see just what android can do :)

End of rant :P
[G3 General] Charsher47:
Just be patient, it took a bit for the G2's development to get rolling as well but it eventually got there. Phone was only released like three weeks ago in euro and the US..
[G3 General] sweets55:
Don't get the LG Flex. Hehe
[G3 General] wase4711:
As always, if you want to see development move along at a pace that you want to see it, then learn how to make roms, crack boot loader security, and, then post up all your work in the Dev threads...Oh yeah, then get ready to have hundred of requests, demands, pushes for updates, and have all sorts of folks find fault with your "custom rom"

If you did the research before you bought your phone, you would have seen how difficult it is to cook roms for LG phones, and maybe you would have bought something else.

Posts like yours do nothing but discourage the folks who are busting their tails behind the scenes trying to crack the security protocols that LG has baked into most of their phones.
[G3 General] 557953:
I've not said anything to detract from the work that has gone on already. And i even said I'm aware me or anyone else is not owed anything from Devs. Was just bring to the table my thoughts on the title of the thread.

If any Dev would be upset by what I said the I offer a full and sincere apology, however I have not demanded work be done, I have not demanded ETA's or been critical of anybodies work.

All I'm saying is that I've not seen any recent comment on progress. Given the thread my post was made in, I don't think it was unreasonable.

[G3 General] saitch76:
HTC may be prepared to unlock their device bootloaders but their official OS update record is terrible. IMO HTC unlock their bootloaders so XDA devs will provide aftermarket support. That way HTC can stop developing for their devices asap.

The G3 will be my preferred new device as I've had enough of HTC ditching support for flagship devices after as little as 9 months. As long as there is permroot and Xposed I don't need dozens of custom ROMs.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
Uh, lately HTC had been the first company to release the latest software updates for their phones.

[G3 General] saitch76:
Wait until the M9(?) is released and see how long the M8 gets updates for.
[G3 General] Itaintrite:
Android L still scheduled to be released on the M7 this Fall. Branded M7 will also get L with Sense, just a matter of time. So yeah, pretty good support as far as I know.
[G3 General] Enddo:
I think Motorola would like a word with you
[G3 General] saitch76:
My One X+ has never had an official upgrade in the UK. And I would be a lot less confident than you about HTC's promises. Don't take my word for it; have a look at the HTC forums. Ask how many devices were scheduled for updates which were later pulled by HTC.

Enough off topic. Suffice to say that I am looking for a non-HTC flagship device. Hoping that the G3 is it. The HTC M8 grabbed the headlines for being a sexy phone. G3 blows it away IMO.
[G3 General] arcanexvi:
I agree. They have even had some releases same day as nexus.

T-Mobile has a verified unlocked bootloader. Not sure about the Korean variant but I'm fairly certain all others are locked other than TMo and maybe Korea. Of the U.S. variants, TMo is definitely the only one unlocked. Not unlockable, just flat unlocked out of the box which is very rare.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
The M7 is still being updated.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
With a locked bootloader, access to the partitions is limited.
[G3 General] techfanatic9:
The F400 has CWM even though it has a locked bootloader.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Can it write to all partitions or just copy?

Can't write to system.

Heyy Guys! Today i decided to put up the MOST AMAZING Stock Rom of our Micromax Smarty A25!! Please note this can't be used on other devices like Micromax A58 etc.. I've noticed that this stock rom was not to be found anywhere else in a flashable form.. so I decided to make one myself..:D .. Unlike other guides you don't need to download SP FLASH tool and stuff to get back to your stock.. and for those looking to get back their non-rooted device in case they wanna claim their insurance or such can flash this rom and easily disable root access, and u can do so in the Super user app itself!..

N E ways lets get back to the Rom.. ​

So basically this is the rom that u get when u purchase your phone based on the firmware A25_0201_V0355.. and there are no modifications or such other than the pre-rooted feature.. and that as i hav mentioned can be removed with ease..

[IMG="stock"]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AsZvoCh-OUQ/UXs80zkcB4I/AAAAAAAAAWk/QL6Kj5UKYFQ/s1600/stock111.png[/IMG]

INSTRUCTIONS ON FLASHING​

- Download mmx_a25_stock.zip from below

- Copy and paste it to SD card

- Now Open CWM recovery

- Go to wipe data/factory reset and wipe data

- Then go to wipe cache partition and wipe cache

- Now go to mount and storage and format system

- Now Install mmx_a25_stock.zip from sd card by going to "install zip from sd card"

- Wait for the installation to complete

- After selecting Reboot you might get a prompt to fix root.. select that

- You have flashed this rom successfully
