I loved my G2 and even more my G3.
[G2 General] sicto:
I want G3
[G2 General] cahiatt:
I'm not switching. My N5 is parked in the kitchen cabinet. I just got this G2 this week and not planning on downgrading again. This phone is great.
[G2 General] Coydog:
Not really. I am on the G3 ROM and really love it so far.
[G2 General] randy6644:
Long live the gnex plus 1. I still have my Gnex with me, and it's still very new , nothing's broken and look great. it's running 4.4.4. i'll keep it until it doesnt work any more. For now, it's great.
[G2 General] MRobbo80:
Think I will wait for new nexus device to come out bit later this year. Enjoyed my time as a LG owner but would not want to upgrade to LG g3. I must admit that the Dev department has improved massively over the last few months for g2, but when compared to the nexus lines it really is not in the same league.
[G2 General] MachiavelliBs:
Nah,i love my g2 . I was with nexus 5 , since almost 2 months i am with G2.

android L has nothing special imho
[G2 General] meangreenie:
Have to agree.. as far as i see it, having L as a second rom on my n5

1) massive incompatibility, nearly all apps I've tried failed. This might not be experienced by all since we all use different apps.

2) new notification blind. it's ok but no big woop in my opinion. the popup notifications are very crude, many third party apps have done this with far better form and function for a long time

3) new settings menu colours.. looks like g2 now.. there's a new battery section which again looks very much like the g2 one

4) material design.. well only one material designed app comes with the preview which is the calculator app. This app has to be a strong candidate for the ugliest app ever designed in the history of mankind. I usually don't care about these things.

5) is quite snappy where it's using art which precompiles code at the expense of space, but, the fluidity is not as good imo and performance generally feels quite slow to me.

6) A new app drawer icon, no big woop there for me. Otherwise it's the same Google launcher, gel whatever it's called. pretty boring, i'm sure no one would pay for it if it was sale on google play store
[G2 General] fix-this!:
The g2 is about as close to the n5 as your gonna get. Im holding onto it until the fall when the n6 comes. I passed on the g3. As far as android L i dont think the g2 will get it until cm start doing nightlies of it. By then most will have moved on.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Its the design and color scheme that is turning me off to it.
[G2 General] daydu19:
I have a Nexus 4 with Android L port and so far I'm loving it. but also just got my G2 and going to stick with it for a while but I can not wait until google release Android L it is amazing ;)
[G2 General] Xumit:
Nexus 5 is great, but after all it is made up of G2. With little patience, one can avail Android L in matter of time.

Also, Why would someone switch to a phone which is stripped down version of there current phone?
[G2 General] thanhtrung92:
android L is a develope version. it cant use dayly
[G2 General] sicto:
We have a port coming, g2 all the way
[G2 General] Smokeey:
After owning a Nexus device, nope.

They always cut corners to keep the price down.
[G2 General] sicto:
yeah thats right
[G2 General] LeoStark:
No, G2 will also get android L, LG said so, but if they don't make this update, xda and cyanogem will do.

I really enjoy how fast google releases the updates to the Nexus phones, but I can wait for android L. Even because we can download all the apps from google play with kitkat it's not like android 2.3 that some apps requires at least android 4.0...
[G2 General] GaspRulez:
Do you think the G2 will have an official update for L? Not the ****ing porting, I tried that and I hate it :)
[G2 General] sicto:
Well, you can never be 100% sure when it comes to LG and their updates
[G2 General] Pyloge:
I'm %100 sure. LG is global brand and there is a rule Google put for the mainstream brands. Android L will be released before our device reach 18 month cycle.. So, we are going to see L update but after G3 receives.
[G2 General] :
switch to oneplus one, you wont regret it, unless you dont get an invite then you might
[G2 General] Ismail.A:
Yes lg with have a official android l I read it from Google plus on one of the links by end of this year or early next year
[G2 General] MCPiston:
I thinked about changing G2 to Nexus 5, because I had Nexus 4 and G2 isn't as good as Nexus 4.
[G2 General] GaspRulez:
Really? I wanna change my phone with a G2, do you think i'm going to do wrong?
[G2 General] reas0n:
Could u give us a link?
[G2 General] XERO_Racer:
Could you provide us the strong points as to why the N4 is better than the G2?

All i can think of that i think are the strong points of the N4 is the build quality, updates from google and stock vanilla android out of the box, everything else it has is inferior to the G2 imo

with the G2, you could flash AOSP Roms, while retaining great battery life and top tier specs and a good size screen

As I mention above

Seems like youre running Mahdi ROM on your N4, I've got Mahdi ROM on my G2 and its working flawless
[G2 General] fix-this!:
No buy the g2. Its a fantastic phone. Even better than my n5 and m8 was.
[G2 General] THUDUK:
Didn't see this thread, I've just posted up about moving from a nexus 5, I've tried the L developers ROM and to be honest didn't particularly like it, for a start I dislike the white menus, notifications are annoying, overall it's slower and less responsive, much prefer KitKat, but then again it's still in development.
[G2 General] RohanM:
lol, I cam from N4 to G2 & let me tell you G2 is way way better than N4...
[G2 General] Kayen:
I switched from a Nexus 5 (running Mahdi ROM) to an LG G2 running CloudyG3 a few weeks ago, and I don't regret the switch one bit. I'm sure we'll get AOSP L when the time comes, however the features on CloudyG3 are still a-plenty which doesn't really have me yearning for L right away, it'll come when it will come, until then i'm happy as is.

The G2's bigger screen, waaaaay better battery life, and better camera are much welcome features over the nexus 5 (i got one within a week of launch since my S3 was broken).

IMO: Get the LG G2. Better battery, better camera, nicer size, nicer phone IMO. (especially over a Nexus 4 with a notoriously terrible camera and battery life...)
[G2 General] RohanM:
Don't listen to him, just go for G2...
[G2 General] wulsic:
Lol it is better then the n4 for sure if you look to the specs,camera android devs ? and its design also. I was on the n4. Terrible batterylife only it was decent with hells doctor and tardis mod but camera also sucked but it was better then my optimus 2x. And the most worst thing from the nexus line i hope it gets fixed in android L final release: wifi connectivity issues like an wifi network has 3 bars and you are connecting to it, and it says that its getting ipadress, but then it just disconnects or cant even connect . One more thingwhere the n4/n5/n7 suffer from is delayed notifications and this is all software related but google doesnt fix the damm problems.
[G2 General] redeyss:
I switched back to g2 from N5 and have to say the g2 gets twice the battery life. Camera seems better on g2 also and loving the screen size!

[G2 General] Zachinater:
I made the switch to the nexus 5. The only thing I miss is the all day battery and the better front camera
[G2 General] doctor_droid:
And i m thinking to swtich to a g2 coz m hating the battery of n5... I came from grand duos which easily managed 7hrs sot...bt my nexus hardly gives 5hrs sot..will give L a shot..if it doesnt improves... Bye bye nexy sexy
[G2 General] :
please guys don't do it

I had both (Nexus 5 for 6 months and LG G2 just for few days)

You will loose in

Battery (very noticeable)

Screen (N5 is a bit washed out) + Screen Size

Camera performance and quality (the IOS from G2 is vastly superior, and its not about 13mp, its about the sensor that G2 has)

Native functionalities like Knock-ON (good luck enabling dt2w on Nexus 5 and prepare to say good bye to your battery

Other Software add ons which maybe you use
[G2 General] doctor_droid:
Everything correct except for washed out colors and hyped ois is far superior :p
[G2 General] wulsic:
One reason also why the Nexus 5 gets so low battery is because it ain't have really battery saver stuff like most manafactures do and they are trying to optimize the battery to the most and google didn't But I heard that they're now busy with project volta so that maybe will save the day for N5 users.
[G2 General] doctor_droid:
I read somewhere project volta is all about a new api that will make developers to create apps which will not drain battery unless used...there is nothing in the os itself...
[G2 General] wulsic:
I read i dont know where anymore that what you said was new for devs and also Battery historian was also included with Volta but thats just for reading and battery power saver was also and something else i believe but idk. It all sounds good but i guess we will see how it work out if android L is offical and new stuff also brings always new bugs. We will see what will happen:good:
[G2 General] Vlad Paul:
Never ;) I can taste android L on my second device, N4, but i not leave my G2 for Android L
[G2 General] natalya:
Someone ported and made L work on Optimus G. Its possible to port it for the G2 as well.

LG is one of the slowest to release updates, I am sure they will make it happen next year.
[G2 General] wulsic:
That LG is one of the slowest to release updates is true but don't forget that LG's software department isn't as big as samsung is and they probably need to also think of how they will do it with android L since the LG UI is highly customizable. else there is always devs who are going to port it and or you need to wait on Cyanogenmod to develop CM12
[G2 General] :
I just switched to the G2 from the N5. The G2 is a way better device. I have had a lot of Nexus devices and they are pretty boring, bland and featureless, even with roms. Also camera and battery life are absolutely horrible on the Nexus.
[G2 General] fknc:
The major features of Android L will be incorporated into Stock LG 4.x ROMs in the event that 5 is slow to be released, and certainly into AOSP roms. ART is available now, and majority of the other changes are mainly UI alterations like enhanced notifications that can certainly be baked in. I'm a big fan of the additional stock features the G2 comes with, such as knock on and the noti light functionality. Seems easier to mod a stock-ish rom to preserve these features and work around it, then to get an updated ROM and try to re-create these features.
[G2 General] kalani91:
I currently have a note 3, but need to switch carriers from verizon to tmobile to save money on my family plan. I was about to buy a Nexus 5 until I saw this thread. I'm now looking for a g2 , can't wait to try out this phone!
[G2 General] kcly001:
i was thinking to switch to nexus 5, but it doesnt have a 3000ma battery and same camera. So i wont change my G2 even for a G3, there are no great improvements.

[G2 General] ugslick:
No chance.

The G2 running the G3 rom is the best phone I've ever had. All my friends love my phone, including people with the S5, M8, N5, Z2, among other phones. I don't really have much interest in updating my phone right away, especially since Android L will cause me to lose extra features the LG has built in. LG's skin > Stock any day of the week.
[G2 General] Sam.Frehley:
I had a Nexus 5 before it started playing up.....Good phone, very fast and many ROMS to choose from....downside is the awful camera and the poor battery life. I experienced overheating aswell even when I returned back to stock rom.

Not to mention the build isnt as good as the G2.

Happy to be with the G2.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] logitechor:
I can't help but have been looking for a ROM. So far no luck. I have Android L on a Nexus 4. And I had 4.4.4 on a Xoom before the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 - which still officially is on 4.4.3. Weird.

This is flo rom installed pn deb

Nexus 7 2013 (32Gb) LTE
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] outlawer-a:
Yes, it's true. But this is debug. For now i can't find real problem, but it's info and it can help for run Android L.

Quick solution:

Flash original 4.4.3. Start it. Run startup config. IGNORE Google account. Allow USB debug. Approve computer fingerprint. (Optional: Change VM to art).

And now we use flo Android-L preview image. Unpack it. Unpack image-razor-lpv79.zip. We have some filesystem images: boot.img, system.img and etc. Let's flash it to our device. Reboot device into fastboot and run from directory where images.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

DON'T flash userdata. And reboot to system. Debug will work, but this method is dirty hack.

Full solution:(may be something missing, I can't check it for now)

For start - we need working deb with working USB debugging for our computer.(I use clear 4.4.3). Backup files for run adb:

adb pull /data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb pull /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

And now we use flo Android-L preview image. Unpack it. Unpack image-razor-lpv79.zip. We have some filesystem images: boot.img, system.img and etc. Let's flash it to our device. Reboot device into fastboot and run from directory where images.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Reboot from fastboot to recovery(We need any custom recovery - i use TWRP 2.7.0.0). Click Mount select system and data(both must be selected).

adb shell

And on device:

cd data
mkdir data
mkdir data/com.android.providers.settings
mkdir data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
mkdir misc
mkdir misc/adb
vi /system/build.prop

Go to end of file and add on new line: persist.service.adb.enable=1

exit

Next upload adb enable and adb keyfiles(run from backup directory)

adb push settings.db /data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
adb push adb_keys /data/misc/adb/

And start the android. Adb will work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayfallen:
Thanks so much for the detailed solution. So now we could get debug info helping for DEB to run android L, but DEB won't boot anyway:crying:...

Guys, I need the June 26th preview binaries for deb for this to work. The newest ones are mostly incompatible with with the preview image so we need the second set of preview binaries if not the first set if possible that someone has. Someone must have downloaded them and have them sitting on their computer

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fant0m88:
Hello,

I've rooted my phone using the towelroot method and everything seems to be ok. I checked my root status and it came back clean. Got the SuperSU and installed the binary. Now the problem is, I have a bad recovery. Everytime I go to install a ROM from SD, or use ROM manager to install a rom, my phone boots into recovery but I get the "Could Not Boot Normal" - Odin Mode

Downloading... Do not turn off target! And it just hangs there. I'm able to reboot using vol down + home + power and cancelling the "download" - but there shouldn't be anything to download - the ROM is on my SD card. Does this mean that I have a curropted recovery? I currently have both ClockworkMod and TWRP installed. I can't seem to get rid of one or the other.

Any recommendations? I really want to throw a 4.4.3 Rom on this device.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
You cannot instal custom ROM from stock recovery.

You need to have custom recovery (CWM, TWRP...) but this step void knox to 0x1.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
And if you install a custom recovery you will void your warranty......

EDIT sorry i did not read the last part of the reply of verny94
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fant0m88:
HI guys,

Thanks for the replies, though I'm not sure I understand them. I have two recoveries installed, according to Rom Manager - Clockworkd and TWRP. Are these the stock recoveries? I guess I thought that's all I needed. I'm not concerned about the warranty too much.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi,

When you enter in recovery , which one you see?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fant0m88:
Thanks for the reply! When I go to ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" it asks if I want to boot into Clockworkmod. I hit yes, and the phone reboots, but then goes to the this (attached) page and stays there. Then I have to do Vol down Home Power to cancel the "download" to boot normally.

I had a Droid Eris and HTC Thunderbold that I successfully rooted back in their day - but this one click towelroot seems to have screwed me up a little - though to be fair, the majority of fault probably rests at my feet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Do not use any Managers etc. They´ve made a lot of problems.

If you don´t have problem with warranty use CF-Auto-Root. Towelroot is good only for people who wants warranty. ;)

CWM or TWRP flash via Odin and you will see ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fant0m88:
Great, thanks for the tip. Should I un-root the phone then? I have the option in the toolbox. Unroot then re-root using the Odin method?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jbart12:
I recently rooted my HTC One M7 for the first time with ViperOne 6.2.1, so I'm still pretty new to rooting terms and processes. One of the main reasons I rooted was to modify the vibration intensity of my phone. It is far too strong at the moment and unable to be changed without root. I think I've found a solution, but it requires the faux kernel. I'm a little confused on the difference between ROMs and kernels, but is it possible to keep ViperOne and still use the faux kernel to modify vibration? Or is there another way I can turn down the vibration intensity a few notches? Any replies are much appreciated!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Fhgwhgads:
You should be able to use the faux kernel with ViperOne, i don't know if they are 100% compatible, but you will need to be S-off to flash the kernel.

Are you talking about this one? If so, I don't think it'll work because the mount points are different.

I don't know how I didn't see that, but glad you caught it before I tried. There has to be a way for Sprint users to lower vibration intensity though...

Reading through the thread, apparently faux was testing the Sprint kernel.. and that was the last mention of Sprint in the kernel thread. Will try searching some more.
