I owned the g2 then I moved onto the g pro 2 (d838) as I got a fantastic deal on a new one on ebay.
The g2 is an excellent device with a fairly decent custom rom scene thanks mostly to @Cloudya but the g pro 2 has similar hardware specs with the massive bonus of a 5.9 inch screen (g2=5.2 inch) an extra 1gb of ram, a micro sd card slot, a removable battery and an improved ois on the camera.
I absolutely love my g2 pro 2 but, at the moment, the dev scene is practically non-existant. We have easy root but no custom recovery. I can't understand why this device isn't popular, It is excellent and as soon as we users flaunt this fact then perhaps people (especially developers) will buy this device and develop for it.
In saying this, on stock, this is the best device that I have ever owned and I have had many.
Agreed, I have owned a g2, loved it. this G Pro 2 is even better. All specs mentioned in above post are 1 reason why I like it more. Another is the size, I can't see my self going g2 size again. This phone is the best I've owned, and that list is long. I sold my galaxy note 3 after using this for a week.
G Pro 2! I own a nexus 5 and now got a D838. I cant start explaining how much more awsome the G Pro 2 is. The screen and the battery life are the selling points for me.

Seconded!
G Pro 2!This have a Micro SD Slot and Removable Battery,and i love the Size!We can root the G Pro 2,but no Custom Recovery(D838)
I also don't understand why LG hasn't released this flagship to Europe anyway? Luckily eBay is there to help us.

Hi guys, i'm looking for a new cheap android smartphone. I saw nexus 4 is still a good phone, but most people are going with n5 and n4 is no longer supported by google.
I don't want to spend much so i'd prefer to buy moto g. Also, i know android thanks to my friends, but i'm still with nokia 5800 (symbian) and i think i'll be happy switching to android. Which devide do you advice?
Is really resistant moto G? I see it has gorilla 3 instead nexus 4 has gorilla 2. I need a resistant phone because i travel every day with school/work.
Also, i'm going to buy "rubesperry pi", i heard is possible to connect the "pi" to android smarthphone. Is moto g a good device to run "Pi" ? also can Moto G run Ubuntu Touch/Backtrack/Kali linux too? I don't know if 1GB of ram is enough for Moto G
Do you still prefer nexus 4 (2GB of ram) for modding, dual boot other OS etc or Moto G is good too?
thanks a lot for your time reading my post
Could i get some advices please? Or this is wrong section? thank you
Hi, nexus 4 is supported officially , and will be supported unofficially for years to come. Nexus 4 is a far superior phone than moto g and can do anything like Ubuntu or any other os , has support more than any phone

ok thanks, so you advice me to add about 80$ to get the nexus 4? I really need good phone for use linux, rubesperry on, i hope to be sure with n4 or though i could buy moto g for now and then get the n5 when price will be less

It's a difficult one here as I have had two HTC One Max's, they were fantastic even though the spec is lower than the LG G Pro 2 it performed really well with the HTC Sense UI, the sound was great and the fingerprint reader was good too. I like to try different phones so I sold one on and the other was destroyed by HTC's repair company Regenersis. I bought the 16gb D838 LG G Pro 2 first but didnt like the lag between the device and the Micro SD card, it was the top San Disk card one too. I went for the 32gb which is now £60 cheaper than when I bought it, if you're happy with the HTC One Max with the Sense 6 update I wouldn't bother but if you fancy a change you get a lot of phone for your money. Hope this helps.

Why are you comparing a budget device to a flagship device, moto g is 1/3 of the price of LG g2, it has more powerful battery it's has 3000mAh, 2gb ram, 32gb internal, full HD screen with 5.2" size and 4.4.2 kitkat, 13mp camera, on the other hand moto g has 2070mAh battery, 1gb ram, 16/8 gb storage capacity hd screen of 4.5" and 4.4.4 kitkat with future updates and 5mp camera,
It's very difficult to compare both device I am Happy moto g customer, moto g is value for money device while LG g2 is flagship device it has more features it only depends upon your budget, In my opinion wait for Motorola moto g2 which is new device going to be launched on 5th September i.e today can be a better choice....
Hello! thanks for asnwer me, but i bought the moto G yesterday ! im from Argentina and the moto g2 til arrive in December thinks! and i made comparation betwenn moto g and moto g2 and the hardware its the same, the only important diference its LTE or 4G but here.. its all wrong ( policy) and maybe in 2 o 3 years we will have 4g ! ajaja
Congrats for moto g its still best
Hello my friends. The time has come for me to let the optimus G PRO 2 and try a new phone. I said that i won't buy LG anymore... because they gave a s**t kitkat update to my G .. and than after i bought the G Pro 2 they forgot about our device , and now it's "dead" in terms of development.
So i bought a Galaxy S5.
What i want to say.. for people who know.. we have a group on facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/lggpro2/
I will continue to support this group(moderate+add new users).
However it's time to pass the legacy to another optimus G PRO 2 user... so feel free to apply for admin function in the group.
The post model:
about how long you plan to keep the optimus G PRO 2:
member of the group: yes/no
I will choose the winner based on the reputation at my discretion.
Sad to see you go. You did a fantastic job with the Facebook page.
Welcome back to the new Pro 3 next year, anytime, buddy!
I may quit Pro 2 for a while to try Note 4 and come back to LG again for its Pro 3 next year, and hopefully with a Stylus!
I wait BB Passport to say Bye Bye G PRO 2, very sad...
Yep..it's sad. About Lg .. maybe if g pro 3 / g4 will be very popular.. i will re-join lg
I mean all i want from lg is a phone with latest android , nice ui and custom cm rom. For now.. i'm happy with my gs5.
- bad aspects to gs 5:
- No knock code
- i really hate the "sent sms notification" feature.. on lg is way better,
- no alarm unlock by puzzle
- i get 1.5 gb ram eaten from 1.75 (rest is for android) but i can't complain..(i mean the phone is really fast)
- good aspects to gs5:
- the screen is awesome (you can set it in4 ways.. and can get rid of some amoled ****, you get the chance to see the colors more natural)
- camera is great , even selfie camera is great
- i can use 128 gb sdcard
- battery is good
- check at the picture from atachments, exynos octa is really fast.
So.. let's hope we will meet again at g4/g pro 3. (if not .. than iphone 6+)
can you explain the "dead" part on your 1st post?
Yes i can. Look at software. I don't see a custom kernel for g pro 2. No cool apps ported. No impressive roms. Ugly user interface(compared to lg g3) . At least if g pro 2 would have g3 Ui. No updates. (i gave my g pro 2 to my little brother - he's a game addict ..so the g pro 2 is good for him) ..but i still had problems like random reboots when i connected the device to usb cable. If android 4.5 comes.. and than shortly 4.6 and than 4.7 .. lg might skip again like it did with 4.1 -4.4 while samsung and the competition updated their devices to 4.2 , 4.3 and than 4.4 . Now..this is something. Is you ask me..it's better to get 4.2 and 4.3 instead of waiting from 4.1 to 4.4 and when you get 4.4 you don't have half of 4.4 features. (this is what happened with my lg optimus g, before i bought g pro 2). After two weeks i sold the g with 200 $ . After i first booted up my s5.. i got like ~900 mb of updates for performance/ apps/etc. I liked that.
Now...about the facebook group...offer still stands. Let's see some requests.

Is this not a G3 based ROM?
No.
I don't get it, who cares you change a phone. maybe I don't know your important role in lg g pro 2 community's life but I think you won't miss too much. You are trolling the community only w/ this thread...

Nope. Not really. At least this wasn't my intention. And if i'm trolling..this ain't a true community. True community was when i had an optimus black / optimus g. There we used to say good bye from the rest when we moved on.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/help-chose-phone-t2940117/page3 see in the last of this thread :good:
On this budget, the 2nd-gen Moto G would also be my choice. Great support by Motorola (regarding updates), easy to get, good reviews, 5 inch screen, etc. Other phones that cheap often come with major disadvantages, e.g., lack of HD resolution or horrible battery life. An alternative could be a used Nexus 5 phone. If you want to save even more money, you could also look for a 1st gen Moto G.
