Update

Using Blekota's ROM and its keyguard supports three additional effects, Ink one (super cool), Geomatric mosaic and Abstract Tiles, though for me abstract tiles is just some sound playing, nothing else.

First of all a huge kudos to [MENTION=5403589]Albe95[/MENTION] for his collection of Note 4 ported apps.

Link : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/exclusive-note-4-apps-collection-t2882577

And I am using his Lockscreen/keyguard.apk for this purpose (works fine even though its not for s3)

It really bothered me that why WHY can't I have the cool lockscreen effects of Note 4 even after installing the Note 4 keyguard and Settings too. I was limited just 4 effects : Abstract Tiles (constant fc), Ripple, Popping colors and ink one. Though they were good I wanted more.. So I started digging and eventually found something.

Stuff Needed

Albe95's Note 4 Lockscreen aka keyguard.apk ( optional Note 4 Settings)

Database editor (I use SQLite Editor. Others may work too)

Root Access

Steps

-Install keyguard.apk by replacing the old one.

-Reboot.

-Open your SQLite Database Editor

-Open Settings Storage settings.db file

-Open system

-Search for 'lockscreen_ripple_effect' (without quotes)

-And you may find one entry (if not found, search

​

for lock and find something similar)

-Change its value from 0-9

Any Greater Value Results in constant keyguard.apk Force Close

Bugs

Just one downside, it dosen't stick. If you reboot, you'll be back to the effect you applied before changing the value. And also if you open Settings->LockScreen, though you will see the new effects name, after exiting it will be reverted back to the original one.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PrinceKLR:
LIST

List of Effects

0 : None

1 : Ripple

2 : Light Ray

3 : Popping Colors

4 : Water Color

5 : Blinds

6 : A very wierd 'None' effect

7 : Different Ripple effect, more Ringy

8 : Brilliant Ring

9 : Brilliant Cut

10 : Ink Effect

11 : Geomatric Mosaic

12 : Abstract Tiles

And opening Settings -> Lockscreen dosen't revert it. Just shows the name. Opening of effects it. Apologies.

work it with cm11 (aokp 4.4.4)?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Ahmed00021:
TW roms only
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] erfet:
whyy??? i hate the ****in TW roms these roms are have tons of useless features and apps BUT the locksreen is ****in cool only that missing :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] toterkeks:
I tested it on my device (see below), it partially works, only the abstract tiles are giving me a fc.

however i suggest not to use it on S3 LTE 4.4.4

A few weeks ago i was trying to install adb on my pc in order to be recognised

So i followed a guide i found online using the sony's pc companion. I accidently restored my sw3 and i noticed that my device model change without any obvious reason what is going on?
[Galaxy S6 General] thahim:
Lets have a discussion about the most used/useful features on S6
[Galaxy S6 General] CrashTestDroid:
Best feature: Exynos SoC! I love it because it removes the possibility of me shelling out whatever Samsung thinks this phone is worth. No temptation to buy is the best feature S6 has got so far.

Best "real" feature would be the SAMOLED display but it's prob way too small (5" lol) to be useful.

Best unconfirmed feature might be waterproofing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dhokahai1:
Mods if it is wrong section move/delete it. Search didn't find a S6 section.

baki marzi hai teri
[Galaxy S6 General] fatimataybia46:
Yes, plz move!
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Hahahhaha, you do realize the Exynos that will be in the S6 is like 35% more power efficient than the Snap. 810, plus the fact that it's just a beast and more powerful... basically it obliterates it in every category.
[Galaxy S6 General] BigMosley:
I love the removable battery & SD card....oh wait
[Galaxy S6 General] dnkeyhnter:
I love the feature that it brings all the *****es out the woodwork! Every ****ing thread that I have come to read is people *****ing about the ****ing phone instead of just moving along! That's the feature I love about the phone, thank you samsung… errr actually I should be thanking everyone that is *****ing about the phone! A big thank you for wasting my time reading your complaints! Such useful information!
[Galaxy S6 General] FIREONHIGH:
only hope left is s6 active//im waiting for the hitler video yelling about sd card and batt. that will be epic...
[Galaxy S6 General] varunkumars:
I like the phone very much, I mean the S6 Edge. It is a lot practical now (my favourite). I have been using Lg G2 all along. I have used Samsung until Galaxy S3 and switched to LG. I really want to see how the S6's battery stacks up. If it is on par with the LG G2 I think will switch to S6 Edge.

Display and Colors

That display looks amazing, as well as the colors. I think I'm already sold on the green, but the blue is a close second. I would have preferred a 5.5 inch screen, but that won't dissuade me from getting one of these beauties.
[Galaxy S6 General] FIREONHIGH:
:cool: ,thanks.. i hope the asians get the message through their sales!
[G3 General] cubic25:
I know this is going to sound very much like a first world problem, but this phone is frustratingly ****. It is easily the buggiest, slowest, most laggy phone I have ever had.

I have tried just about all the LG based ROMS, only to find that each one, although not buggy, are all laggy. The lag is so bad that it gives my old S2 on Gingerbread a run for its money. At least with Samsung phones, you could get rid of the lag by using a AOSP ROM and it would still be functional.

To solve the frustrating lag issue, I have installed a CM based ROM. At first I was delighted. The lag was gone. The phone was now comparable to my super fast Nexus 5. But after a few hours, I noticed the same bugs that every other CM based ROM user has. Today, I had to restart the phone six times FFS! It is a little more stable on 777 Kernel, but the same issues still persist.

Has anyone achieved bliss with this phone? Is there any ROMS, AOSP or LG based, that are fast, (Nexus 5 fast), and bug free?

Don't get me wrong, I love devs and the work they do. Without them, my old Galaxy phones, (S1, S2, S3, S4), would have been poo. My Nexus 5 would have been boring. (Stock android is meh). I just don't understand why this phone seems to have so many issues. Help me understand why it is so hard to develop a fast and reliable ROM for this phone. I know it isn't from a lack of trying. There is heaps of support and devs working on various ROMS in the G3 threads already and all of them are very talented.

Is it hardware based lag or is there something else inherently wrong with the phone?

Thanks for reading and offering any solutions. I don't want to list the ROMS I have tried, as it will seem like I am an ungrateful twat to those devs that worked so hard. Suffice to say, I have tried all the popular CM/AOSP and LG based ROMS.
[G3 General] DoobyDroid:
Stock 5.0 V20H fine for me no lag [emoji3]
[G3 General] hashcheck:
I switched to note 4 whilst g3 was good I had a better experience with my note 3. So upgraded

-= Note 4 & Gear VR =-
[G3 General] cubic25:
I don't want to switch so soon. There has to be a solution. I love the screen and size of this phone. The only other phone I would consider is the droid turbo, but it's so bloody expensive!
[G3 General] cubic25:
Compared to what? Which other android phone have you used? In isolation, this phone is barely acceptable. Then, after you use a nexus, HTC or Sony phone, this phone is comparably slow. Almost unusable.

I can't bring myself to try stock again until someone who has other phones to base their claims on can confirm it is lag free.
[G3 General] Japultra:
Have you tried the usual tricks?

1. Swap out the stock launcher for something like Nova or Apex

2. Switch your keyboard to a 3rd party keyboard

While it does suffer from the random stutter, my phone is generally very zippy and does not lag.
[G3 General] cubic25:
Done all that. On stock based ROMS, stutter and lag is unbearable. My wife, nexus 5 user, even commented on how bad it is. I'm actually embarrassed to use the phone in front of people. I know it isn't a hardware issue, because AOSP ROMS are lag free, but not bug free.
[G3 General] stiggy2012:
Yeah, the phone is nowhere near as quick as a Nexus. The notification bar is also **** compared to stock Lollipop. There are a few tricks I use to improve performance on a stock rom:

1) Turn off throttling/thermal daemon via the service menu.

2) I use setCPU to set the phone to use the "performance" scheduler whenever the screen is on, locking it at 2.5Ghz.

Still isn't perfect, but it helps substantially. Obviously this is in addition to changing the launcher.

It's just one of those things. As you say, CM12 just isn't stable and worryingly seems to be going backwards, getting less and less stable with each passing nightly. The camera is also completely crap on AOSP roms. Nexus devices are great but the N5 is old and the N6 is too big and expensive. The S5 lags too, and while Note 4 is supposed to be good, but I simply won't believe that Touchwiz lag is gone without seeing it with my own eyes. Even if it has gone, Touchwiz remains the ugliest skin I've ever seen. Sony phones are nice, but they aren't packaged anywhere near as tightly as the G3, which is it's biggest strength: 22mm shorter than an iPhone 6+, with the same size screen. That's impressive. HTC's are just ridiculously large for a given screen size. The 1+1 is old now, and doesn't support all LTE bands used in the UK.

There is no perfect phone. Whichever you choose, there are compromises to be made. However IMHO the G3 strikes the best compromise available today, at least once running the latest Lollipop build and with the tweaks I mentioned above applied.
[G3 General] DoobyDroid:
Had most 2014 flagships and G3 is deff fav so far, didnt have KK as updated to LP out the box had little lag after ota but common just needed a factory reset and all good since
[G3 General] mahdibassam:
Just a tip you can use on any android phone, go to settings, developer options, and set all the animations to 0.5x. This drastically reduces the time the animations take, and it gives a very snappy experience. It makes a LOT of difference, trust me.
[G3 General] idoluvizsick:
No lag whatsoever here. Im running Chupachups newest rom with rin kernel. I've previously owned htc one, lg g2, xperia z1 and this phone definitely outperforms them all.
[G3 General] sofir786:
Ive owned the Xperia Z1, HTC One M7, and tbh id rate this better than both, i would like the battery life to be better my Z1 was amazing for that buh im custom stock rom and i dont get lag, everything is as it should be.
[G3 General] :
Because LL is still unstable and buggy? And so is any rom based on it?..

Stock firmware sucks because of LG's software - it's very badly written. Almost as bad as touchwiz is. (I used SGS3, trust me on that one...)

AOSP/CM based firmwares are better, but they still suffer due do LL newness. Wait till android 5.1, things may become better.

There is also a hardware issue: unbelievably bad heat management. They used 8974ac, but had not made any cooling system. No radiators, no heat spread throughout the case, and it's facing LCD panel - which is a very bad radiator. GG WP, throttling kick in, phone starts to lag, etc etc etc.
[G3 General] mab71:
I think there may be problem with your unit... Try to send it back to get a replacement or have it serviced.
[G3 General] marfioso:
I agree that most of the stock LG-G3 roms, Lollipop/Kitkat, if not rooted and without any mods, LAG is unavoidable. The case is, some people can't root their phones and most of them will try searching why G3 stock rom is lagging... if I'm one of them and I happen to see this post, I would feel bad and feel stupid at the same time why I spend money buying a crappy phone.

Well anyways, try Crash Rom v2.0. It is a stock based ROM like chupachups. The animation is not as fluid as CM but I won't say that it's lagging. Compared to CM, I have not yet encountered any bugs and mostly the camera is better. If you're interested you can also downgrade the resolution to 1080p, this will enhance your g3, 3d and 2d graphics performance.
[G3 General] dornz:
Hi im all so on lollipop 5.0 updated out of the box and its all good maybe some lag not much to notice. Still no root method yet for stock lollipop 5.0 and i dont want to downgrade to kk so il have patience and wait for new root method for me g3
[G3 General] dspcap:
Wow, I went from the nexus 5, to the htc m8, to the g3 all in year. My advice, play with this one to get the phone lag gone. This by far is the best. Like a previous person said, turn off animations and change the launcher.
[G3 General] cubic25:
Can't be an issue with the phone, as it is lag free with CM based ROMS.

I'll give crash a go this afternoon and report back. Hopefully 5.1 ROMS fix the issue too.

Already done all that. Animations are turned off, launcher animations are set to lightning fast, CPU throttling is turned off. I've tried all the tricks in the book. Fact is, LG based software is crap, just like Samsung.

So far today, the lock-screen has only frozen on me four times, which is good.

I'm not sure if I'd rather put up with a laggy phone or a buggy phone.
[G3 General] skullverine:
My phone is currently on V20h. Apart from the occasional Home launcher crash, I've not had any lag that I notice of. The last time there was any lag was on V10i. My phone is rooted but is not running any mods.

Prior to this, I've had the Note 3 and Xperia S. Compared to the G3, I would say that the smoothness is at the very least, on par with the Note 3 running on stock.

I've seen people complaining about the G3 being laggy too. Is your phone by any chance the 2 GB RAM version?
[G3 General] cubic25:
My phone is the 2gb version, but I always have at least close to 300mb free. Sometimes I have over 1gb free. Not that it should matter though, as I have read on numerous places that the 3gb version lags too, and that both phones are very close on performance. The extra 1gb of RAM is negligible.

Just flashing Crash ROM now. I think I'm going to regret it though, as I much prefer the look of AOSP anyway.

Ah crap. Just as I flash the ROM, I read that the dev is stopping support for our device. Based on the comments, it looks like a promising ROM.
[G3 General] rayiskon:
Actually there is a noticeable difference between the two. You might also know by now about lollipop's messed up memory leak (RAM used by system). If you have a nexus 5, you might as well know that the phone becomes laggy and apps start to close due to that RAM issue. So no, the extra 1GB is not negligible.

One thing i don't like from your OP, is that by buying any OEM skinned phone, you knew beforehand that none will be as smooth as a nexus or a stock based android device (moto x). Furthermore, you talk about the nexus 5 and stock AOSP as being boring and "meh".

Before ranting on xda, which is not a rant forum by any means, you should solve your own issues you have with yourself, and try to put your finger on what actually you're looking for in a smartphone, because by now you should've realized that getting the best of all worlds is not possible at the moment.
[G3 General] cubic25:
Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I know it isn't a rant forum, but this is the general G3 discussion section. My rant was more a means of trying to work out what other users have done to remedy the issues.

I describe stock AOSP as meh because it is. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I much prefer a modded AOSP ROM, such as slim.

I know what I am looking for in a smartphone. It is the G3 running an AOSP ROM. As mentioned, I love everything else about the phone. It's just a shame that the ROMs are buggy.

I know the best of both worlds isn't possible, but I can at least endeavor to get close.

You are also the first person that I have read to mention that there is a difference between the 2gb and 3gb versions. You also mention though that this is an L issue, so the difference in RAM is negligible in KK, which is the software I bought the phone with.

Moreover, why does the phone perform fine on AOSP, (minus the bugs), if the RAM is an issue?

EDIT: Been using this ROM for nearly an hour now. It is the same as the others. Press on a contact widget and wait a good 1.5secs for it to come up. It was instant on AOSP. Everything takes longer to load. Unlock the phone and wait patiently for the nav keys to appear. There's more, but I'm starting to sound like a whinger. I think I'll just wait for a decent AOSP ROM to appear. Until then.........
[G3 General] rayiskon:
The state of buggy AOSP ROMs on non AOSP supported devices has been the case since the early days of Android, and i'm sure you know that. It is what it is.

I moved to the G3 after being with the nexus line for the past 3 generations. I can tell you, my G3 (32GB/3GB) doesn't lag, i can see occasional stutters and dropped frames, but it surely does not lag, and i'm on full stock.

I'm not the first person to mention there is a difference between the two variants, it was discussed almost in every other thread around here. I just happen to have a friend with the 2GB version, and despite that right after a reboot, both phones perform similarly, after a while of continuous uptime, the 2GB version starts to suffer more.

LG's framework requires a lot of resources to run, unlike AOSP. On a fresh boot my nexus 5 usually had between 200-250MB of used RAM, while on my G3 it fluctuates around 1GB.

If you really own a nexus 5, then you know that even the N5 starts to stutter a bit here and there at only 300MB of free RAM.

I'm sorry to be the one to bring it to you, but you will never find what you're looking for. The perfect device for you would be the G3 -Google Play Edition, but unfortunately, it does not exist. So either learn to live with what you've got, or get rid of it and move on to something that fits you more. Life's too short to be wasting it on complaining about lag. It's a phone, if it works for what it's intended, if you can put up with the little stutters here and there for the sake of more features and functionality than stock, then great, If you can't, just move on to the next one, just don't let a tool control your life.
[G3 General] zdravkodubravec:
This is soooo funy to read .

Well, at least to me, as after the last official update my g3 32gb 3gb ram model is running so fast and with no lag at all... Occasionally after 10 to 15 uses of Clean Master I get that return button stopped but that is it. One only thing could make you angry is if you use Deezer app, as it has a strange glich... I will not write about it as it is minor but on some songs it is just annoying ... But overall experience is great, a lot of my friends with other flagship devices are impressed with how good my phone is comparing to there's ... What we all need is to be patient and I am sure that android 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1 update will solve all problems.

Other thing really important is that we can't expecte that official lg or Samsung ROM will work good as after they get a clean android they always mess something up ... It is the same thing with developers as they are changing things in ROM and remove, and change and you never know if you deleted something that you actually need ... I never expect that some developer can do better in a month compareing to maybe 1000 developers in Samsung or any other company.... So ..... I can just laugh at you guys .... LOL
[G3 General] khanem:
Well just to say that my G3 32 Gig doesn't lag on stock. i wish the battery was bigger but it's a 5.5 inch qhd screen so you have to live with it. Overall the best android i had and that coming from a nexus 5.
[G3 General] LordLugard:
I must live on a different universe, then.

I always tell folks, the best ROM is a stock rooted ROM. Sprint G3 user here and my G3 is stock (and unrooted) and I have no issues with it. Use Apex launcher in place of stock launcher, disable stock apps that I have no use for.

O.P is using words like unusable, I have no such experience. Never been a fan on CM, just don't care for it.
[G3 General] stiggy2012:
No need to live with it, you can buy bigger batteries for £8 on ebay.
[G3 General] titchyyyyyy:
Can you give me a link to one please? The most expensive & highest capacity battery, if possible, please (Without those silly back cover mods).

On topic: I sold my LG G3 (2GB) phone that I got on launch day because I couldn't deal with the lag and there wasn't any custom roms. I've tested the S5, One M8, Z3 and Z Ultra and haven't been very happy. I've ended up buying a 3GB version of the LG G3 and it's very smooth and lag free, especially using an AOSP rom, but was also fine on the stock rom. I would say at the current price range of the LG G3 (£300~) it's pretty much the best phone you can get.
[G3 General] ndybucky:
no lag on mine, running resurrection remix

OP just wants to cry about something I think:cool:
[G3 General] xMiklo:
Try v20H, every other rom lagged for me (stockbased) but this is running pretty smooth. There's no stutter at all but it's not as fast as my nexus 5 still :(

2gb ram version here too
[G3 General] GTMoraes:
Been there.

I don't know what happened, suddenly the phone became OK. At first I thought it was CM12 that was blazing fast (as always), but then I reverted to a Stock ROM pre-20H and it was still blazing fast.

I didn't notice much difference to 20H, but it was still very fast so.. idk

pity, perhaps? Well, I'm using BlissPop with 777jon kernel and I can assure you it's pretty snappy, apart from the random green screen crash.
[G3 General] suljo94:
it isn't random it happens when wakking phone after really deep sleep.... some of the syuff doesn't get loaded .....
[G3 General] GTMoraes:
I beg to differ. 5 minutes ago, I pulled it from my pocket, and it was bright green. Few hours ago, I was checking my Google+ feed and the phone locked up, and the green screen of death showed up. Today I woke up late for the job because the phone was stuck with a green screen

Yesterday I woke up in the middle of the night because the phone was shining green in my face (I guess it uses 100% brighness in that situations). I don't think there's a relation between deep sleep and the green screen of death

Unfortunately it seems that BlissPop causes this more often than CM12. In CM12, it only happened few times a week.

Now with BlissPop, it's happening several times a day. The only difference is, obviously, the ROM and a working Xposed (no system modules, though). I'd just wish it would simply reboot, instead of this green screen =/
[G3 General] suljo94:
try pulling the logs and posting them in the cm12 thread also try quoting invisiblek because I think he does the kernel stuff in cm12

and the phone can't reboot because the demigod thingy is higher up the ladder then the kernel I thing it is bootloader regulatede but I haven't checked
[G3 General] aturbs:
I'm no expert, but did you try installing Candy Crush?
[G3 General] azoller1:
Well first of all, your phone is not "lagging" it's merely just slower than previous phones you've owned. I have owned a nexus device before, the nexus 7, and it was supper "laggy" compared to other devices I owned at the time. I had a lg spectrum that was less laggy than my nexus 7 was. Lag is just a thing we use to compare how fast something is compared to another thing. (That's how i look at it.) This doesn't necessarily mean the less laggy device is slow. I for one don't have lag on my g3. It loads apps almost instantly when I click them. A solution for you would either switch to "faster" phone that you're used to, or reset your device. Resetting your device can help immensely. I did it before with my nexus 7 and it definitely helped. Again, any device will have "lag" compared to other phones, it all depends on what you define as a "fast" phone and stick with it. The g3 I currently own is the fastest device I have owned, so I will stick with it.
