What would motivate them to hold it back until after the announcement of the G4?
[G2 General] 3ig:
Pure marketing descision. The G3 didn't sell that well in Europe and they still sell the G2 on the same shelf. Imagine having them both next to eachother running the same version of Android (now with the same icons, launcher, etc...) and that price difference. Anouncing the G4 will pave the way of the retirement of the G2 and the circle goes on and on and on :D

Edit: of course i can be wrong and they release it like .... today :)
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
Nice determination but nobody gets a phone from a company that doesnt support their products. At least me.
[G2 General] cipry189:
I sent an email to lg Romania to see if they can provide some info regarding the update, all the sayd was that the update was passed to the providers (orange and vodafone) for testing and implementing their own apps, and should arrive shortly, no official data could be provided.

Sounded like the update was ready but was on hold so that the it could be released for branded and non branded models at once (just an opinion).
[G2 General] Vlad Paul:
LoL, to LG Romania? More better sent to CIA, is more transparent than LG Romania.
[G2 General] cipry189:
Indeed, I did appreciate that they called me within a few hours, maybe more ppl should request this information, I'm pretty sure that the Testing Cycle has ended and there are other factors that contribute to this delay.

Android 5.1 Lollipop Spotted on Android One Website http://www.android.com/intl/en-GB_id/one/

The question is; Does G2 will get the 5.1 update?
[G2 General] Vlad Paul:
Be happy if you"ll receive 5.0.1. This will be the latest official update if LG will give us. I dont think so 5.1 will be available for G2.
[G2 General] Danchibald:
5.0.1 or 5.1 is the same... Lollipop...
[G2 General] x3m.zone:
Yeap, we need the base for L. All the rest can be implemented later by a good dev.

Up to 2x better performance and longer battery life!

It cracks me up big time.
[G2 General] scottdanpor:
^THIS.... I heard it's 5x better performance and runs off a coin battery for a week. 2x faster is a joke!!!

Edit: oops I thought we were talking about Android 6. Didn't realize people were still interested in Android 5.
[G2 General] votinh:
Gingerbread IS best ;)
[G2 General] scottdanpor:
Agreed, it's the only version you can actually make a whole house out of and impress your friends at Christmas time. I like it with gumdrops.
[G2 General] siggey:
I heard about next version, eclair, give us winget and animated wallpapers.... OMG ?

[G2 General] scottdanpor:
I always found wallpapers peel off my phone after a while.

I heard the next version, Android chewablevitamin, actually makes your phone edible. If you are lost in the woods and you have your cell phone with you, you can eat it to save yourself.

It's about time really, people have been asking for this feature for YEARS.
[G2 General] galardo_2:
LG was always poor on support, so i doubt the update at all, yes the official german LG Facebook page hinted it, and it was true koreans got the update and thats pretty much the end of this story,

I have a lg G2 myself and at this very moment its on sale
[G2 General] drtchocky:
Taken from the Goethal's Bridge earlier.
[G2 General] vishal11in:
Be happy that we are getting it atleast. Company like samsung gets away by simply saying that the update has been cancelled because it is not working well with new touchwiz.

This is also useful if you get pulled over for talking on your phone in the car. No officer, I wasn't talking on my phone, this is a candy bar.
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
These days i'm checking again and again the update. The 5.1 has been spotted on the net but the LG can't give the update for phone. Why? Because they haven't got a talent for that. A developer on the xda can make a rom from source in a couple days but LG can't realese a update for D802 for MONTHS! Go for HTC or Sony not LG.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Is KK running bad for you? You bought the phone for updates or for normal usage?
[G2 General] scottdanpor:
Yeah come on man. A developer can make a rom.... usually from CM or AOSP sources.... and months later still sorting out the bugs. Not that they aren't great devs, they are, which only shows how tedious and time consuming the debugging process is. Software development is a long and tedious process of developing, code reviewing, testing, implementing fixes, reviewing, testing again, then testing again in a release candidate, discovering more bugs, fixing more bugs, testing again....

LG is HUGE in Korea, and they have been in this game a long time. They know what they are doing. They also know most users are not on these forums, and the backlash of releasing buggy software hugely outweighs the small inconvenience a few impatient users feel. most users don't notice an update until it pops up on their phone, then they just hit install. It has to be right.
[G2 General] stalvekio:
Do not take Sony. Sony will give you 1 update max and then it is old phone.
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
Xperia Z (Out 2012 )has been introduced with 4.2.2. Than its updated to 4.3. Than 4.4.2. Now it will take LP.

I hope it wont takes too much for updating our device. I love my phone even under the LG mark.
[G2 General] Okamaokama:
I think it isnt a problem whether LG release lollipop early or late

But they should at least give a schedule or something...except facebook page from particular countries they dont seem to have official announcement of the phones which would get the update. As korea got the update some days ago, I think they actually get the roms ready but not release them on purpose.
[G2 General] sheppii:
Better late then never. I don't need Lollipop desperately, so I can wait another month or two without problem.

Actually I'm not sure, if I even want it, because it is not a big deal actually, yeah, there are some improvements like ART, but there are lot of bugs too and it seems slower to me.

I'm running CloudyG3, which has G3 UI and I don't miss anything.

Official G2 Lollipop release will not include better camera (4k, slomo etc.) or some great new features.

KitKat is currently fine tuned and still, it will take some time for Google to make Lollipop faster, better and pleased to use (5.1).
[G2 General] MachiavelliBs:
Well i am ok with kk . But i cant see anybody with the Korean version to got troubles and they got LP 3-4 weeks ago . I cant understnad why the D80X devices need so much time for the update ,there is not big difference btw the Korean version and the international one . Somebody here say before few days we need CIA or FBI or something to get some info lol ! This i dont like !

Can you make thread for this if possible? Because im sure that lots of user wants to try it but we dont understand that language
[G2 General] azher98:
Its not official and 99% bull**** bcuz there is no official LP kernel to d802
[G2 General] MachiavelliBs:
At least there are some news .. The Korean version got 30E ...
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
And M7 have been updated too. Bravo LG ?
[G2 General] azher98:
Guys I think that we should wait more and more cuz maybe lg making a big update with new features.... Maybe there's a difference between d802 update and Korean versions update ?

And cm12 is doing the job quite good
[G2 General] Michalko5896:
Naah, I dont think so.. And CM12 is buggy and they are no specific fixes for D802! No supporter.. Pretty bad situtation for us..
[G2 General] robogo1982:
I would rather wait another month and get a nice, stable build which our Korean friends thoroughly tested than get bug-riddled unfinished beta.
[G2 General] bender_007:
:)yeah, don't worry. The scenario will be: lg g2 got lollipop. Then: omg, fu lg..how could you release this buggy thing ? Aaa...how do I do a downgrade? Ahh..i FC.d..up my g2
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
It have been 4 MONTHS from the introduction of the LP. They should release STABLE update. If they release a buggy update, we SHOULD complain about it. There is nothing WRONG with that act. Maybe lg FAN's won't like this post but i don't care.
[G2 General] scottdanpor:
We're not LG fanboys, we just remember that... it's ONLY a phone ;) there are many more important things in life to worry about.

We subscribed to the thread to get updates when they are available, however long that takes. If you are so impatient for Lollipop there are plenty of builds available. The rest of us are content to wait for a stable stock based rom because of the reliability and great battery life.

Your posts do keep the thread bumped though. :good:
[G2 General] scottdanpor:

[G2 General] robogo1982:
And you won't achieve anything with complaints. Nothing, NOTHING obliges LG to release 5.0 for the G2. No legal obligations, nothing. It's purely their good will. The fact that we will eventually get Lollipop even though they don't have to give it to us says they do care and do listen to their customers.

Give it a bit more time.
[G2 General] hauntedbg:
I think LG waiting that long to release lollipop to past 2 years since released G2 and discontinued it. The bad think is that we will receive 5.0.1 which is buggy and will not release at least 5.1 with alot of things fixed.
[G2 General] x3m.zone:
If we get the base for L (5.x), 90% of all the problems are solved.

Others 5.(x+1) fixes can be implemented after that.
[G2 General] heithered:
Oh please. LG releasing 5.x for G2 has nothing to do with goodwill. It's all about marketing. If they don't release it people will hesitate to purchase G3/G4/Flex2. Their work on updating existing devices, especially older flagships is just an investment for their upcoming devices/sales. It has nothing to do with goodwill...
[G2 General] robogo1982:
EXACTLY.
[G2 General] hesaps1234h:
They are making wrong decisisons in my opinion. I wont buy a phone from an unsupportive company. As i said before they gonna lose millions of users like Samsung

Lollipop + G3 UI will be awesome .. Just hope to get both not just one cuz G2 current UI looks ugly
[G2 General] metteduch:
Wtf why cant LG just say when G2 will get it?! Now LG Denmark also says L for G3 in Q4 and they confirm that L for G2 is planned but informaiton to be announced later.

https://www.facebook.com/lgdanmark/...8221159260292/726295974119471/?type=1&theater

Just tell us when G2 will get it -,-
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
Even had a talk with Lg on twitter they have nothing to say about G3 Ui but they are only predicting The lollipop.

This is pathetic mahn.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
LG seems to be improving though, in terms of updates. International, Sprint, Verizon, TMO versions all received 4-5 updates already. Also mind you 4.4.2 with patches is practically the same as 4.4.4.

I can't imagine that they won't even give us a useful answer ?
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
People must be forgetting that G2 is not their main flagship anymore. They pushed G3 super fast and G2 is slower because it's not a priority, but it is coming. LG stopped giving promised dates because that's how companies fail, missed deadlines, just look at HTCs 90 day policy, great when it works and big mess when it doesn't.

Since Korea keeps getting update after update it means there are bugs they want to fix before pushing to the rest of the world.
[G2 General] Vlad Paul:

[G2 General] abdel12345:
Yeah I just read through it more and saw it says stuff about a lollipop kernel when I don't think there is any stock lollipop kernel that would work on vs980 considering it needs specific ram disk changes compared to other variants. I don't b think it would be smart for anyone to flash.

It's also taking forever to download. It's been an hour now and still on 22%. Once it finishes I'm gonna dig around through the files and see what's in it. If it looks alright I might still try flashing it.

Anyway worth a try [emoji2]

The rom uses 4.4 aboot, means that you need bump things to toy with it.

Twrp backup is recommended (including efs - just in case - and modem) so you can come back to KK any time

The modem image made from f320 v30d modem, only modem.*** files copied from vs980 12b baseband so the signal can work (unpack/repack the file modem.img - you know what I mean)

I'm on vs980 but using gsm carrier so I'll be flashing to test it. Thanks for letting us know

Sent from my VS980 4G
[G2 General] su660ics:
Just remember the bump things.

If you dont know what bump is, then following this:

- flash blastagator twrp (2.8.3.1) and use it to do next steps

- flash dorimanx kernel (i presume you are in a stock-based KK rom)

- do a twrp back up , tick everythings (system, data, cache, boot, efs, modem, rec)

- flash rom. Enjoy it.

- if you want to come back. Turn off, press power + vol down, when the logo appears, releas them, and press them again, the phone will ask question. Just yes, then yes again, you will be in twrp, restore what you back up in step 3
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Thanks but I already have blastigator twrp and dorimanx kernel :D

Should I wipe system, data, and cache before install? Or is it alright to dirty flash?
