I really do hope that LG releases at least 5.1.1 for our device...while im very happy with the rom im using(team exodus), i would really like to have a stock rom option rather than the atrocious 5.0.2 LG released. 5.0.2 roms are good for just a while, then you start experience slowdowns and lags and it ruins the whole experience. And then when you make the switch to cm roms, what a difference! Not that its LG's fault that 5.0.2 sucks, but they should at least give us 5.1.1 to fix the issues on 5.0.2.

These OEM are all dumb as f*ck with their simplistic logic. They start to forget their older devices(lg g2 is not that old really though) thinking it will force users to get another phone, but that will only make users switch brands because they know that if they are going to behave like they do with their previous smartphones, they will do it again with the new ones. Also, having good support for older phones would be very beneficial for that brand, because users would talk about it and there would be news about it and new costumers would consider buying a phone from said brand because they know it would have good support. Motorola really stepped up their game with their phones and support. If this phone does not get any update, i will probably consider switching to another phone (and definitely not lg) in a few months...me and probably hundreds of thousands more.

Anyway, LG italy said that our device is not forgotten, so i still have hopes. If they do release even 5.1.1, they will earn my respect back and i will probably stick with my g2 since i really like this phone
[G2 General] 5ageman:
Lg g3 international variant got marshmallow just now. Keeping my hopes high, even if it is a port for g2. G3 16gb is basically the same device as the g2 16gb so Im hoping for some kind of a port at least. And one peace of advice for making lollipop good is to install xposed module for memory leak fix it does a decent job of keeping 5.0 lagfree for now.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
well i remember reading the xposed memory leak fix thread(if im remembering correctly) that the memory leak fix from xposed does nothing on our device...something related to framework changes made by lg i think. Even if we get a port(not from lg) it wont matter because it will be only ui changes

here is the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61643159&postcount=155

So, nice placebo effect probably lol
[G2 General] 5ageman:
This may be but I am getting steady 1gb free ram on cloudy 3.3 after I enabled this module. Of course I kill fb and messenger services when I check otherwise is arround 850mb free while without this module enabled I was getting 300 400mb free and os tended to get laggy late in the day so it required a reboot.

As for the other matter I believe that g3 kernel can be ported straight from the g3 itself not just UI but the whole rom. Its the same hardware as the g2 except for the display and d resolution. G3 utilises the same chipset and radios as the g2 afaik. It is maybe a higher revision but the hardwere is the same.
[G2 General] zelendel:
Here is the thing with the logic of "if LG doesnt up then moving to another OEM" They are all the same. None of them really update devices past a couple of years. Companies know that people will buy new phones no matter what and the majority of people can even tell you what android version they are on let alone if they need an update. Yes we know and care but we are the .01% of their sales numbers.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
i do know that, but look at motorola. They really stepped up their game and got a lot of publicity because of their policies regarding updates. Yes, they are all the same, but at least with the nexuses its way easier to get the latest updates...i had a nexus 5 before my lg g2 and it was great(battery life was sh*t though lol) but i cracked the screen and it was not worth to repair...The thing is nexus always have flaws too. I dont know how google does it, but they always manage to f*ck up something on the phones...with the nexus 5 it was the mediocre camera and battery life(price was awesome though, and the difference from a 2300mah to 3000 mah battery in cost is very small). The nexus 6 was way too big and the price was also excessive. The nexus 5x is overpriced and from what i heard it suffers from performance issues. If they had released a G2 nexus, it would have been their biggest hit probably. I only wish they would give sony a chance to build a nexus, i bet it would be awesome. Sony is probably the best OEM of all, even with updates. They seem to get it all right, phones not to big, good specs, great battery. The only thing is the excessive price of course. But maybe if it was a sony nexus, it would be more affordable.

anyway, getting a little offtopic here. Really hoping to see a 5.1.1 or 6.0 rom for our device. Maybe january will bring us good news=p
[G2 General] zelendel:
While yes it is a bit off topic. It might not be a bad one to bat around for awhile just incase the update doesnt come.

The prob with the nexus camera is the software and not really the hard ware. Google gives the basics and while other OEM toss millions into the dev of the camera app google doesnt. As I went from the g2 to the n6 I do agree that it is a bit big in the hand. Im still getting used to it and have had it a few months.

I wish sony would get a chance as well. Maybe this way unlocking the bootloader wouldnt break their DRM keys and lower the camera quality like it does on current Sony devices.

To be honest I am surprised what LG did with the 5x. It should have been so much more then it turned out to be.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
yeah, the nexus 5x was really disappointing...especially with that asking price. It should have been much lower...but i do really like the fingerprint sensor, it seems to work really well. The thing with sony is that there are ways to flash roms with locked bootloader and still keep drm keys i think, but they are based on stock roms(which are very good btw, almost stock with very good performance). If i had the money to spend, i would definitely get a xperia z3, i really like it but in my country it is still like 450 euros(which is a lot for me)
[G2 General] hrockh:
the Nexus 6P is awesome, from what I've read. too bad the price is ridiculous outside the US.
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I'm pretty tempted by the 5x but the thing that stops me pulling the trigger every time is only having 2GB ram. My Nexus 9 only has 2GB and it has never had the performance of the Nexus 5 from yesteryear. I just get a feeling 2GB on a 64 bit device is asking for trouble as things like chrome are so memory intensive. The 5x 32GB version is also too near in price to the 32GB version of the 6P. You might as well pay the extra money and have full fat.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
I think 2gb is fine...Unless you are a 3d gamer, switching between games, you probably wont run out of memory and apps wont be closed to free up memory(not considering memory leaks and OS bugs of course). N5 and my g2 on 5.1.1 or 6.0 dont have any issues and have 2gb of memory. Of course it is better to have 3gb of ram, but it would not stop me from buying a phone i liked just because it had 2 gb
[G2 General] Masteryates:
That was my opinion until I bought the Nexus 9. The N5 & G2 are both 32-bit and therefore the OS footprint and apps are much smaller than there 64-bit counterparts and consume far less RAM. When I talk about poor performance on the N9, I'm just meaning chrome with only 4 tabs open and a few small apps. As soon as you go back to chrome, those tabs have to refresh. :silly: Non of these problems on the G2.

There are also many 5x owners saying the performance is nowhere near that of the 6P and once again, the 5x is a 64-bit 2GB device. :crying:
[G2 General] migueldbr:
I don't think that's right. Where did you see the 64bit OS uses more ram? It allows to use more ram, it does not mean that for the same apps it will use more ram compared to 32bit. And that example of 4 tabs open on chrome...it just seems that it is badly optimized. I really don't think it uses more ram. Maybe because it is a tablet and needs more resources for apps to run because of the resolution or something like that. But show me some sources where I can see that a 64bit OS uses more ram than a 32bit OS for the same apps...
[G2 General] Masteryates:
If I still had my Nexus 7 2013 I could do a like for like comparison. I do remember however, that the N7 never had issues with reloading or tabs or the launcher having to redraw. :victory:

If you look on the N9 forums, the issues of the N9 running out of ram are well documented. Google have had a year to sort out any optimization issues but still haven't solved the issue. On windows also, 64-bit programs are nearly always bigger than there 32-bit counterparts. :eek:

I wish I was wrong, but I'm going on experience here. :crying:
[G2 General] migueldbr:
The moto G 2015 has a snap 410 (64 bit) with 2 gb ram and as far as i know it does not have issues...
[G2 General] Masteryates:
Yes, I think you are correct. Just remember however that the Moto G is only driving a HD screen. Something like a 5X or N9 are going to be using 4 times the video memory. How long until we see a high end device with dedicated VRAM?

There is also the secondary issue of Moto always working to really optimise the OS unlike Google. Pretty embarrassing this morning to sit on the train next to an ipad owner and the N9 refusing to rotate the screen. :o
[G2 General] nitink912:
I just confirmed with LG customer service India that android 5.1.1 in confirmed for LG G2 and it will receive soon.

They don't have any information about Android M.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
vague info, its not enough
[G2 General] migueldbr:
lol why would they confirm it to some random guy and not give an official statement saying that?
[G2 General] EvilKing009:
In my mind, LG will gave us update(or not) when 6.0.2 update they have cuz.

4.2.(2) > 4.4.(2) > 5.0.(2) and 6.0.(2). :silly:
[G2 General] mwedo:
It's 50/50; they'll either release an update or they won't.

/thread
[G2 General] Androloid:
I think that LG has more interest to release one more update, then not to. It wouldn't hurt selling of incoming G5, rather it would boost it, because difference will be to large not to upgrade to last flagship, and update policy of three years would be important selling point for LG as smartphone manufacturer.

[G2 General] tuncay_93:
Can a mod please paste in rules section as rule n.1 Never believe LG about updates. It is my 3rd lg phone and the first one in which the software is actually decent (well kk was atleast some multitasking issues on L) and now as always all other makes WILL update 2013 flagships only LG wont. I really had a little hope they would have changed the way things go as they did when they made this phone. If you want to rival samsung sony and htc..... Guess what
[G2 General] zelendel:
They are all the same really. If updates are important then you have to pick. Gimmics/features or updates. Even the nexus devices are only updated for 18 months and after that they are done
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
are you high or something? look at nexus 4 for just one example or look at xperia "z"
[G2 General] zelendel:
Yeah look at it. It's last official update was lollipop.

Now I will over look that tone of yours
[G2 General] Nightshadow931:
Yes, but that phone is from 2012, and it has 5.1.1
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
z came out in mid 2013 and got 5.1.1 and n4 came out in late 2012 and the latest 5.1.1 (that is all the patches and revisions). and n5 released close to g2 and have 6.0.1 and will continue getting updates
[G2 General] zelendel:
It's a nexus. And you expect it not to get next year's update.

Guys it's simple. If you want updates then stock to nexus devices. If not then there is nothing you can do. All oem are just as bad, then add in any carrier and you are really out of luck. That is the way it has been for years and will always be.
[G2 General] rdlegy:
No. Lg are just bad when it comes to software updates. I wouldn't say that the quality is top notch like a flagship should be. They need to step it up with the updates.

We won't get any other updates. I hate lg, because of their "updates"
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
we all do, you have any evidence that we won't get in 100% (sounds like) so share you sources
[G2 General] zelendel:
I have just been going this same route for almost 15 years now. Carriers at least in the US control the updates. Also just look at LG website for the g2. Most of the server space for the device has been redone for other devices.

Don't get me wrong. Your more then welcome to wait and get mad. But getting mad is pointless.
[G2 General] runekock:
My previous phone was Motorola Atrix. It got updated from FroYo to GB, and Moto said it would get ICS, only to change their minds after almost a year.

My dad's phone is Galaxy Nexus. It was updated from ICS to JB, but never got KK.

I really think LG is as good as the competition. No, make that 'as bad as the competition'.
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
The thing is that normal people dont care or doesnt even know which android version they are using, and we, people who know what is the difference between android versions, are less than 10% of the total, im sure about that. I dont believe that lg will innovate and give us something else than stupid ass patches. 6.0 for The lg g2 is not a good investment.

Of course nexus devices are constantly being updated, thats the main reason why someone buy a damn nexus, is their flag.

And sony, sony is currenlty doing it because they are almost in bankrupt, they need new things so people think that they care for their customer.

Guys, this is bussiness, lg only wants to sell new devices and dont give a flying **** about The g2 or even the g3 (yeah, it got 6.0, but wont get newer versions)
[G2 General] zelendel:
We are not even 10% more like Max of 2% but that is even pushing it.

You are right though. Companies don't care about anything but the bottom line. And to be honest I don't blame them.
[G2 General] tuncay_93:
Maybe not a new software version just fix this one is so it becomes more useable... I mean gps sux even i have been trying to put electrical tape under the antena pins. Still cant use sometimes even 2 apps side by side they reload every time you recall them. The hardware is still very decent and i like stock rom it has ton of features like qmemo q slide quick window and stuff you cant use on CM...

And the most annoying one is i ahve to keep my mobile data on bcz if i turn it off i should reboot the phone to connect it again. They have not included newest apis for L like manual camera and stuff there is really plenty to do but doing nothing about your customers is probably easier...
[G2 General] migueldbr:
And that is why Apple is king. They may charge a ridiculous amount of money for the iPhone, but the fact remains that you will get a fully functioning phone. Even if you get bugs they will get fixed fast. And you will have updates for a long time. And they are much more valuable when selling second hand. So in the long term, it's much better to own a iPhone. My only problem is that I don't like iOS because if I did I would have switched to iPhone already
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
it's the worst example, they are crippling them with updates that are not suitable enough and not optimized to the specific power the device have so your device will get slow and you will want to buy a new one
[G2 General] tiguy99:
If LG updated all their phones back to the G2, they'd bring more buyers over who care about things such as system updates and longevity.

We buy new phones for the hardware/software bells and whistles not necessarily the software alone.

We'll keep buying new phones from LG as long as they keep pumping out great devices

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

This!!!! I too was a former iOS user back to the first phone all the way up to the 4.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
That is not logical at all. You do know you don't have to update right? As far as I know, they don't force the update. Anyway, it doesn't matter. They still offer the update. And that only happened on the older devices. The iPhone 5 will probably have enough power to support any newer version it may come in the future so if they keep updating the phone won't slow down. I never had an iPhone for more than a day. I really like android. But let's not make up excuses. Apple could have not bothered with updating especially for the reason you mentioned, the older iphones were suffering lag on the latest versions, yet they still gave users a choice(unless they force the update, in that case that's really bad)
[G2 General] zelendel:
I keep seeing all these posts about if *insert OEM name here* would update their older devices then they would make more money. This really is not the case. People need to understand that if every single person on XDA moved to IOS the OEM wouldnt even notice. We make up less then 1% of their sales. I know people want to think they are part of a large cool crowd but it simply is not the case. As android becomes more and more locked down you will see people move to IOS in droves and the OEM wont even notice really. They couldnt care less about us here and even Google doesnt like what is done here.

XDA was founded on making the most out of the device after OEM have long abandoned the device. Official updates mean almost nothing here really. IF you like the device then use it until it breaks. If you dont like it then get a different device.

Just dont convince yourself that we here really matter to anyone, because we dont really matter and are just a drop of water in the ocean.
[G2 General] Killua96:
Thread title: "Is 5.1.1 Coming for LG G2 ? Screenshot Captured !"

And last pages:

- LG Sucks if doesn't update the G2, other OEM ar better.

- Apple is the best OEM for the update (thanks god Android has play services)

- I won't buy another LG

- Nexus are the best android devices for update

C'mon guys, it's useless to discuss these things in this thread, i think that we are a bit off-topic...
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Who said LG sucks on the last pages?

I know xda is 1% of phone buyers! I've been active since 2007!

Still doesn't change my opinion.

The people I'm refering to are those concerned with such things
[G2 General] Killua96:
Nobody, it was just a phrase to criticize the last pages of this thread.

Still, it was not referred to you, i haven't quoted or mention nobody so i don't understand what's the goal of your answer, i don't want to change the opinion of anyone, i'm just saying that the last pages of this thread are off-topic., nothing more, nothing less.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
We were discussion updates(by oems) on a thread full of speculations about the next update. It's not that bad, much better than the usual "will lg release 5.1.1?" posts. anyway, I get your point. No more off-topic from me
[G2 General] Killua96:
i agree about those posts, all of them are very annoying, but there are at least 3-4 pages (last ones) about this "OEM update discussion", 3-4 pages of notification to me, and i think to many other users, this is the main point of my post, thanks for understanding, it's difficult to find kind users like you in these situation on the net =)
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
We started talking about this because there is no news from lg, so we started speculating, i think its better to speculate here than create a new thread, because at this moment, this thread is pure garbage (Not OP's fault, but lg's fault).

So im gonna keep speculating as there is no other thing to do in lg's forum, Stock Lollipop roms are all imitations of Cloudy (Except the new "Google Edition"), god bless dorimanx and his kernel, if it wasnt for him i would using a ****ing iphone.

My next step is talking about the NBA, there is no much more to do.

EDIT:

Android authority is giving away a lg v10, if you want marshmallow then you could get it for free

https://wn.nr/y3RYM
[G2 General] Killua96:
Speculating about g2 update is one thing, but start talking about update for other devices has no sense at all. And no one Force no one to keep alive this thread.

As my others post, i say this in General, it's not referred to you.

- Edit -

Btw lg released M for g3, i think that g2 will receive at least a new update, there is time, Last year the g2 got L in spring
[G2 General] LilProphet:
I'm not an Apple hater at all (their devices also have their pros and cons), but have you tried the latest iOS on a 5S? For example App Store needs at least 10 sec to open up fully, 3rd party apps like YouTube lags like hell, on a brand new device. I can't even imagine how it works on 4S.

CM13 works like a charm on our G2's. I know it's not the same as an official LG release, but it does its job correctly. If I get bored of it, or I need a decent camera, then I'll go back to stock LP. I still haven't lost hope in LG, but I won't be disappointed either if they don't release anything. We have a decent, fast phone with many opportunities in terms of ROMs, I still love it and I'm not planning to change it soon, because it does anything I need without major bugs or slowdowns.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
I have a friend with the 5s and it's nothing like you describe...it works just fine.

I have tried cm13, but it still has some annoying bugs like wifi issues. I'm currently on optimusg3(stock kitkat based) because lollipop is just bad
[G2 General] LilProphet:
Yeah I guess it's a software issue, maybe your friend has not updated to 9.2, I read it became this laggy with that. But literally I could count the frames when I was minimizing the currently playing Youtube video.

Maybe it's the same with G2 and CM, as I haven't found any wifi issues with it, only minor bugs. Nothing huge that takes away the Marshmallow experience for me.
[G2 General] metteduch:
Was worth a try :)

LG Polska via Facebook: We are not planning updating this model to Android M at this time.
[G2 General] mwedo:
It's really a quick task to find you via reverse image search so hide your profile pic as you did with your name.

That said, they wrote "at this time" heheh. Love that kind of trolling ?
[G2 General] metteduch:
True, edited my post xD
[G2 General] anh102w:
Expecting this

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

May have a 6.0 ROM for G2?
[G2 General] metteduch:
LG Polska: We are not planning updating this model to Android M at this time.

Another reply from them: Those decisions are made at global level and we do not have much influnce on them. Of course it would be nice to have G2's updated as well, but no such plans have been announced by Korea so far

LG Phillippines: As of the moment the latest OS version for LG G2 is Lollipop, but we'll update everyone once the os is upgradable to Marshmallow.

I wrote to a few LG Facebook pages, some are probably gonna reply next week but it seems I will keep my G2 running kittykat ;)
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I'd love nothing more than LG releasing a final KK build that patches stagefright. Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. :crying:
[G2 General] najjurocks619:
Recently contacted lg care:

Me : As G2 is the flagship phone of the year 2013 and it is enough powerful to support the latest android 6.0 marshmallow, will lg provide marshmallow update to g2 as it provided to g3 and g4 i heard it will be coming to g2, please tell me when this update is coming, reply soon please.

LG India: On Smartphone LG D802 G2 , Currently v5.0 is available on it. Whereas any information about the Software Upgradation Possibilities on the Device wouldn't be Conveyed on this time unless & until such software upgrade aren't be launch on it.

So , Just have to wait for such information because it would not going to be Confirmed before its Official roll out Software Upgrade on the device.
[G2 General] Izy:
they actually did on verizon
