[G4 General] Furma:
the only disappointing thing is the lack of ROMs 4 months after the device has been out

if they don't come soon, this device will be dead in water (as far as XDA is concerned)
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
There are 2 roms already based on stock and one based on Cyanogen. More will come these 2 months as many people get phones in Fall
[G4 General] Furma:
2 stock ROMs and 1 CM ROM in alpha is nothing to brag about

and what makes you think more people will buy G4 in the fall?

something has to change and fast or this community will be dead

[G4 General] gboybama:
This phone had so much potential.

Root was really nice, but I guess I'll trade in my G4 for a Moto Pure since there's zero news on unlocking the bootloader. I can't stand feeling that someone else is in charge of my phone.

Or am I overreacting?
[G4 General] pcoulson:
This phone STILL has potential !

There are 2 groups:

1. Those with H815 EU

Able to unlock, able to TWRP & SU

2. Those without H815 EU

Unable to Unlock, able to TWRP & SU

I'm fortunate enough to be in group 1 and am more than happy with the themes and Xposed mods.

I came from a Samsung Android background (since FroYo) and knew things would be different and perhaps difficult to become accustomed to with LG, but was willing to make the leap because the G4 has the right chipset for me, is affordable and will do everything I need it to do, well enough.

The last phone I used was a Note 3 and the best Rom (I found) was a modified stock variant as the camera wasn't affected and the mods worked well.

I now have just the same on the G4 with the stock rom + Xposed g4 tweaks.

AFAIK, Everyone is happy to help if they can. Quiet forum doesn't mean dead. :)
[G4 General] disturbd1:
I actually completely agree. I was in a pinch over the summer; my Galaxy S4 finally became unusable due to the power button sticking. So I had to make a decision on an upgrade sooner than I would have liked, and went with this phone, thru AT&T. The thing I think a lot of users in XDA, especially this forum, don't realize is....if legit bootloader unlock isn't achieved within the first 6-12 months....it will NOT happen. I say it with that much confidence because the S4 was never unlocked for AT&T and I believe Verizon as well. It wasn't even due to lack of activity or attempts; the Samsung community presence is huge. I don't know why they never were able to figure it out, but after over 2 years...it didn't happen. This isn't the fault of the devs, nor anyone else really. It's just the way of things. I was (and am) frustrated that with each new phone I get, the chances of being able to achieve both an unlocked bootloader, and by extension root, are slim to none. I'm not willing to shell out $400-$700 for an unlocked int'l version, when the support will fall upon myself, and quite frankly these devices aren't worth that much given their shelf-life anyway.

I don't think you are overreacting. I think there's a fairly silent, yet ever-present echo of frustration within XDA for this sort of thing. Most notably for people on carriers who lock everything down (obviously I'm talking about AT&T and Verizon for starters). The ONLY reason I haven't switched to a smaller carrier that isn't as much of a hassle is simple: coverage. One buys and uses a cell phone to use it, and they are primarily intended for use in times of need. Where I live...if I go outside of the I-5 (major south/north freeway in the Pacific Northwest that goes from WA to CA) corridor...I'm pretty much screwed if I'm on Tmo or Sprint.
[G4 General] motoridersd:
I get it, you wish things were different, but it's not the fault of the community. It's your carrier. Go tell them to stop locking the bootloader, vote with your money.

Then you can't really take out your frustration on the community (and I'm not saying just you). Discussing how disappointing the lack of development is because of the roadblocks we are perpetuating by not sacrificing something (either spending more money for the unlockable model or not having coverage outside of the city by going with another carrier's payment plan), is not helping change things.

The first post, to me, comes across as a slap in the face to the guys like Autoprime who spend hours helping the community. You should change the title to: "How can I help make this community stronger?" and then roll up your sleeves and chip in.
[G4 General] Shaffer678:
Had it out since early March
[G4 General] bartveld:
I'm sorry you feel that way, it certainly wasn't intended as "a slap in the face". I made a comparison with the Samsung community and you'll have to admit there is a huge difference in activity (and I'm not even talking number of roms). Put it down to inexperience, to a rather harsh transition after years of using just one brand. I never expected this...

It's only now that I realize I'm the lucky one here, comparatively speaking, being unlocked and rooted.

i use to have an LG i too hated using that kdz update method what i did was extract boot.img and system.img then i would make flashable zip using package extract system.img into system partition and boot into boot this worked well because i could just flash su binary after system.img.

[G4 General] masze:
coming from a long line of Sammy's it's kinda dead and boring in G4 threads, sadly!

I've been posting Q that has been ignored, never experience that in Sammy section.

I have been unlocked and rooted since release day, hopefully something start to happens soon in develop otherwise i think

i gonna move on..

And thread's are messy, with q on diffrent models, unlocked and locked...do that, do this!!!
[G4 General] Furma:
1) I doubt a lot more people will buy a 7 month old phone by then, instead of the newer Motorolas, Lenovos, Meizus, Nexuses, Iphones, etc..

2) more people buying the phone is not a guarantee that we will have ROMs - someone needs to figure out how to unlock the bootloader on major model versions before that happens.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
Bro it seems you are new to XDA, there are always new devs coming in this period of the year.

It's perhaps 6 months old in 1 or 2 countries but only 3-4 months old in many others, in mine it was out in July for instance.

Iphone? we are talking android fan here so of course they will not go to ios side.

The thing is that LG unlocked Bootloader in all European countries, they would do the same in the coming week for the Asian ones too. The problem with US versions is that Verizon,AT&T,Spring...don't want a locked bootloader!

Even though you can flash the same Rom Zip in TWRP and Flashify in case you don't have unlocked bootloader, so it means that at any time a new dev can drop by and make a nice rom, we just need that actual users here stop saying out loud that G4 can's have roms but that it can with either TWRP (for unlocked bootloader) or Flashify (locked ones)
[G4 General] Jonathan-H:
I see quiet forums as a kind of confirmation the phone is pretty good without rooting.

The Samsung forums are generally busy because people are trying to fix problems which can't be fixed such as lag and multitasking issues, neither of which are present on the G4.
[G4 General] masze:
main reason for more action in sammy thread is TW.

I'm pretty happy with LG UI, just lower the DPI and some nice xposed moduls and its amazing... BUT....

As an flashoholic we need some develop fast, getting bored fast and as i said, thinking of movin on to some more active developing.. hope something drastic will happen soon otherwise this is dead for at least me.. :/

[G4 General] spartan268:
I can't help but agree with this statement. Right out of the box there wasn't a whole lot more I could ask more. After root I was basically complete.
[G4 General] 3ig:
Before getting the G4 i took a look at the forums for all the current flagships:

HTC M9 - The community is thriving. They have everything. Stock sense based roms, aosp roms, but this metal thing is not a phone .... it's a furnace :D

Samsung S6 - Lot's of mods to fix the memory management and lot's of stock TW roms. No aosp based ones because of the Exynos sources. After having an S3 and Exynos bases S4 i am done with Samsung so this was a no go.

LG G4 - Coming from a G2 i was kind of a surprised to see the desert landscape that is the G4 community, but i have my hopes that this will change over time. The phone is selling really well. They only need to unlock the rest of the versions.

Almost 2 months with the G4 now i really like it. Got it's bootloader unlocked and rooted. Fixed the DPI and it's perfect. I don't even need xposed.
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This thread is truly unnecessary.

NONE of your queation have been answered, or none of them have been answered in the way you anticipated?

I see many threads started by you, but only one has been started in this device section.

The one point you make is correct, THIS IS NOT A SAMSUNG section, nor device. The issues with this particular version of the LG series of phones is the bootloader... Wait for it... same issue with newer versions of Samsung too.

If questions aren't being answered... search the internet. There are many MANY YT vids explaining certain processes.

You ultimately seem to have issue with this device, to a point of pure frustration. You have certainly been on XDA long enough to know you will not always be answered. You also know spoon feeding is not how things are done. Read read and read some more. This is not a Samsung and if you plan on keeping this amazing LG, then it may be best to change your mindset.

Hi,

- first of all great community here!!!

- During some really really heavy rainy hours - my Treo didn´t stay dry :(

It still worked, but everywhere was fluid. I decided to disassemble it. I´ll post pics of it if you like. There is a youtube video for the 680 which is quite similar to open.

- There already was some corrosion on some of the inner parts.

- main problem was the fluid "within" the display. (I didn´t) know that its actually 2 pieces -the display and on top of the display the touchscreen. So fluid in the display means between both! - and I wasn´t brave enough to pull them apart. I am quite happy with the drying solution I found. I put it into my "servercase" on top of a harddisk - which is constantly around 40° C. After two weeks now you have to look very close to find traces (reflexions) of fluid in between.

Since I have the thing in parts - I decided to get rid of the vodafone case brandings. I hope the airbrush guy knows how to paint the "rubber-like" case. Does anybody has had the treo airbrushed yet?

Oh - and thx to the at&t wm6 rom :)
