Android 5 ROM - AT&T LG G3

Hello all,
I'm an avid android user, and I recently bumped my g3. Has anyone tried.(or is trying) to make a stock Android 5 ROM?
thanks everyone!!

Answered on many threads already.
No lollipop roms are available atm. Even if there was, we wouldn't be able to flash since the bump site is not up and running yet. We can only flash stock images right now.
Be patient. Soon enough, once it's released on another variant, I'm sure someone will try and port it over. (Especially since AT&T probably won't see an official update till well in to next year)
Enjoy the phone!

I think development is going to suck on g3, I'm not being negative but it seems like the g3 is just a pain in the butt. We have to wait for lg to see what there plans are then we have to wait for the devs to look at what lg has patch and see if they need to exploit again and if it will be possible. It seems like tmobile g3 should have more roms but its pretty quite there and a lot of people are already leaving the g3 for other phones like the nexus 6. Its going to suck if lg patched bump exploit and really puts a hold on development. I will wait a month if nothing im moving on. Im very grateful for all the devs work but irritated at lg for all this bootloader crap.

Development will be slow for sure compared to past phones. This has been happening more and more every year where the carriers are locking things down even more tightly.
I understand your frustration, but for me this is one of those phones that i can say is just fine using a rooted stock with only a few tweaks. (The others in that category for me are the G2 and the HTC one) Other phones I've had really were just better with something like cm/aokp/etc. (And that's a bunch of phones for me since it seems I get a new phone every six months)
I don't blame the devs for going elsewhere and I know you are not either. Devs gotta dev lol.
But I wouldn't give up just yet. Some interesting things will be coming from some devs very soon that may make you enjoy your phone, even while still on rooted stock. (I've said to much haha [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] )

Trying not to give up but i have been on nexus devices for ever, so I thought I would changed it up with skinned phones, but I cant stand skinned roms and it not very smooth. I love the camera on this phone and knock on but hope we all get aosp soon or just a lg 5.0 leak so we see how things are

I think they'll get the camera back in Gingerbread and do some other tweaks, but they're never going to announce it so they don't have to deal with thousands of people asking them "when?" every day of the week. It'll just pop up one day and that'll probably be the last official update the G2x receives. Ice Cream Sandwhich? Yeah right .

Everything in this statement is true, unfortunately. Even though my G2x is running great, i still feel we got played. Especially the whole "yeah, its got the AT&T 3G frequencies false advertising debacle".
I agree on many fronts. But I still remain hopeful that LG will release the source code for their kernel within the next few weeks, and the ultra-talented devs can start optimizing that code for better battery life, less reboots, etc.
We already have some pretty sweet roms and themes coming out for 2.3.3. It would seem that if we could get some customized kernels for it, we'd be in business. Snappier interface due to swapping, working a2dp, hdmi, etc...even might have the LG cam working without bugs soon.
I wouldn't go crazy freaking out at this point. However, I will concede that T-Mobile and LG did NOT live up to even the slightest expectations we placed on them. We would be lost without these awesome devs.
So keep that in mind, and support their work and/or keep clicking thanks.

I won't hold my breath for this. Too many vague terms in the announcement.
If it is true, then we will be getting ICS which I firmly don't think so.

Definitely not, for me from here out, it's nexus devices or bust.

So I guess those of us that haven't rooted are considering it even more so now? I've had an Android device (never rooted) since I pre-ordered my G1 and i've never been disappointed. Until I got the G2X. The phone is very nice, but it has had many more problems than my Nexus One. When upgrading to this, I thought to myself.. look at the specs.. it CAN'T be anything but much better. I don't hate the G2X and i've been lucky to not have as many problems as some of you, but problems are problems regardless. Whether it's a few or 100.
Its in the 5th paragraph down, (2 down from the video).
The only thing is, this phone was launched before this announcement.
But not much before, so, who knows. I think the g2x was around apr 15, and this announcement was a month later.
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/android-momentum-mobile-and-more-at.html
And personally, I was aware of this and counted on it when I bought my g2x. Otherwise I would have bought a nexus.
Guys even tho the build number on the gb kernel is the same as froyos how much different do u think it is? Do u actually think they tweaked it enough to call it a different kernel? (Gb)
Well like I stated before my g2x has been good since day one launch day ......I just got an exchange cuz I had a scuff on the side of it so I told a Rep about it and they send me a new one wich I didn't want cuz I didn't wana get stuck with a dud phone but it came in with gb already in it so I nandroid restore from my other phone to try it out and day and a half later its been flawless so far.... so looks like I'm keeping it but to b honest I had worst experience with the vibrant wich took forever for 2.1 update and touchwiz was garbage ....right now I'm waiting on galaxy s2 but ima wait a month after cuz of my bad experience with samsuck in the past ..........LG has been good to me in my g2x experience but I have read so mAny people with bad experiences with g2x so I completely understand the frustration by people but I personally dont feel screwed cuz we got a update actually fast compare to other devices ......there's been a lot of phones that barely got it now and been out way before than g2x .....so me personally I don't feel screwed at all I love my g2x i also got a sensation but I gave it to my wife after using it for a day wich she freaking loves ......different strokes for different folks I guess LOL...
.....but next I got my eyes on the galaxy s2 (Hercules).........

I'm over this phone already to be honest. GB camera does suck. I'm already looking at Nexus Prime or what ever it suppose to be. Hopefully it's on Sprint's network, cause I"m leaving T-Mo once this merger is approved (have no faith in US Gov't to deny this one).

I'm also still waiting for the FM radio to magically start working as well.
Also, has anybody noticed any problems with GPS (slow/no lock) since using the LG upgrade tool to 2.3.3?

THERE IS NO FM RADIO! The Optimus 2X has it, the T-Mobile LG G2X does not!
And I've been getting instant locks with the latest Baseband, and CM7.

Forget about an official LG ICS build on the G2X. If they can't do gingerbread they haven't a prayer with ICS.
meh.... my rooted g2x still runs faster and better than any other options tmobile has to offer right now
i will forgive them for this whole thing if they make the G2x get ICS

I was in the same boat as you, in fact I still have my Nexus One stock and unrooted, but this phone was such a pain and the support so worthless I said why not. I can't tell you what a good decision that was. ROMs like Weapon 2.1 have turned my once POS phone into probably the coolest piece of tech I've ever owned

[Q] I Can Haz Ice Cream?

So its going to be released pretty soon.. what are the odds of the Captivate getting some love?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go with 'Nil.'
The chances are non existent. It just makes business sense for for these updates to take forever. I do understand there are some hardware issues with the updates but in the end the average consumer is going to purchase a new phone or use their upgrade in order to get the latest os. If they keep updating old phones to the newest stuff people would hold onto their phone longer. I mean, ths is the first phone ive ever owned that I could flash custom roms onto. Before this I was locked into the operating system and whatever user interface was on the phone when I purchased it. If I hadnt found this forum or custom roms I would be frustrated by the lack of gingerbread and probably would have used my upgrade by now.
No hope. Most of the features aside from the UI wont work anyways due to not having the hardware (NFC) or lack of CPU and RAM (Camera features).
Just get a nice theme
they have it up and running on fascinates, as of 5AM this morning
We didnt even get official GB and we want ICS.....lol so greedy we people are...
Hell yeah Well rogers got the official gb , but att, com'on, forget about it.
First, do a little more searching. There is alreadya thread open for this topic.
That said, we will never see an official update. Our only hope of seeing it is from a port, courtesy of a device that does get it, or wait on CyagenMod to start on CM9.
Be patient. It'll be ported eventually.
I find it amazing that somone already has it somewhat running on their fascinate. I guess all the great Cappy dev's have jumped ship
Well, i'd be surprised to see ICS for our captivate. Even if cyanogen mod is getting ICS, i probably won't jump because of the superior call quality and slightly (if not better) battery life on captivate ROMs.
I thought there was some sort of court ruling forcing google to push the same version of android to all phones that were capable. I could be talking out of my ass though.

Um I did? - and even the XDA board didn't give me the topic yet so meh.
And someone has this starting to run on the Fascinate?? The Captivate is THE phone that seems to get the most love besides the Vibrant for this range of devices.
And I don't care how we get it... as long as someone is able to wedge it into the phone.
You know, it's open source.
Any of you asking for it can take a crack at it
I am seriously inexperienced, but this might be a good start to a programming career..

Nope, not even in the ballpark. Google has no legal obligation to any phone. What you are thinking of is how Google made the main phone produces agree to try harder to keep the phones up to date (up to one and a half years past release aka 18months). But that did not extend to the carriers...
Else they have to stop using the "Android" name and Google's apps

not mention i've seen them pretty active in the galaxy nexus forums... might be because they have different priorities right now? once they figure out the newest phone they'll be able to come back and help us?
If you actually go poke around the Fascinate forum there's one guy who claims he has it running but hasn't offered any sort of proof. I think he's just looking for attention, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

If he does have it running, it's the SDK release and it will be slow as molasses.

1-4-11 UPDATE: The ICS on G2x Release Date FAQ: You got questions?

1-14-11 Update: Some, remain disappointed that the ICS update remains in flux prior to its release on the G2x phone series.
I have carefully updated the FAQ below to address all the concerns raised in the various replies. Hopefully to those critical, your thorough review of differences and key updates in the FAQ, as reflected below, shall meet with your satisfaction.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here it is: The ICS release on the G2X FAQ.
QUESTION: Has the CM team said they are working on it, and they will release it free of charge when its done?
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: LG has basically said that the entire series of phones released on the G2x reference platform will all be getting ICS, so LG will release ICS for the G2x, and the only factor is now total time right?
ANSWER: Yes yes yes yes yes. The G2x is getting ICS.
QUESTION: So basically ICS is coming to the G2x from both official and unofficial channels.
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: Will you tell me when ICS for the G2X. done, and post a thread announcing it, and allow me to download it and use ICS.
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: Is it done yet? Is ICS ready for the G2x now? Now? How about now? waiting waiting NOW? I just heard a new rumor that it running and ready and its ready and I just want to confirm is it finally done now?
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: I was told that being a total butt-wipe and protesting and saying that I will boycott LG and Nvidia is going to help the developers These butt-wipes want me to go in and start wiping with them. Will this help get ICS on the G2x faster.
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: I would like a fresh update on the status of the ICS build for the G2x....so.....IS THE ICS UPDATE READY NOW?????
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: I have suddenly become aware that the ICS update has been released, that everyone is using it, and that there has been no public posting about how to download the new ICS update. Can I have it now since you are all using it.
ANSWER: Its not ready, and NO.
QUESTION: I am really wanting this ICS, can I have the ALPHA BETA ANDROMEDA Strain testing version now.
ANSWER: NO, when its ready you can have it.
QUESTION: Hey guess what phone X just got ICS up and working, but the G2x does not. I think our developers suck. I am going to create a thread that blames Nvidia for this shameful delay, but anyone reading between the lines will see that I think our developers suck, and that all the good developers are working on other phones. Sooooo would starting a thread to shame the developers for not being all that good be a way to get ICS on the my G2x faster.
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: Phone Z just got it, looks like we are going to be 3rd and at least 6 days after phone Z, this sucks, I just started a thread saying the same, and have posted excessively on 6 other similar threads. This is helpful and helping the developers right?
ANSWER: Wrong.
QUESTION: I have no need for any of the new features on ICS, but want to overclock my G2x with ICS so as I can post my high numbers for benchmark scores. Since I am a real power-user right along with Pi using the phone to the fullest, can I get a special early release of ICS.
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: Ready it is! Now?
ANSWER: NO. And that is the worst Yoda impersonation.
QUESTION: I have more questions, except they are already answered, would it help if ask again, start a new thread maybe.
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: I have just one more question so let me start it this way....
ANSWER: Its not done yet.
QUESTION: How about now?
ANSWER: NO
Note: For others wanting to re-purpose this FAQ for their phones, a shout-out for tombaker would be nice.
Dude, this is great. One question though-
Is the ICS build done yet?
No!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the laughs!
how about now? can we have it?
Awesome! I really like the part about needing ics features. Don't misunderstand, I want ics as much as the next guy, but in reality my phone can already do everything I ask of it. I've played with a galaxy nexus and my phone does pretty much what it does, just goes about some of it a little different.
Sorry but I don't have the time to read through the whole thread and I just have one question or concern:
I've heard that ICS is ready for some devices so doesn't that mean that it's ready now? I just need a beta version for the facial recognition feature. I'm also going to start a thread flaming LG for not releasing an official version.
nice post. however, let me phrase it this way.. is..? hehe..
thanks for the updates!
I saw a YouTube video of the g2x running ics. Can I haz now
Also lg hates us g2x owners so I will make a petition to let them know we bought there phone. Since they announced a ics release for all there other phones they must hate g2x really bad.

Please read the OP. It says it all. It is not ready NOW. It will be released when and only when it is ready. Give them time to get it right.

I'd have to say... Everyone but possibly tainle was being sarcastic.
I have to take issue with one part of this Faq...
That LG has said the 2X is getting ICS is not true - they *NEVER* said that the G2X will get it. You may disagree with me here, but this is an *important* distinction. Why?
1) T-Mobile has to REQUEST and APPROVE the update for it to happen.
2) T-Mobile has a history of NOT Requesting and Approving updates for devices with "nearly identical except for the radio" devices in the past - such as the Vibrant, which got no Gingerbread despite *every* other major Galaxy S variant having it.
Until LG specifically says "G2X" is getting ICS, I would put it into the column of "maybe" and not definitely.

True, but they did say the O2x would get the update. It almost certainly wouldn't be stock, but devs on the forum have made it seem like it isn't the most difficult thing porting to the G2x. Mind you, I have absolutely no idea myself, so it could be very difficult. It's still probably easier than writing drivers or finding ways to hack the phone around existing already compiled ones.
EDIT: My bad, forgot that I've only seen ports from one to the other of CM7 based things like MIUI.

I don't know which Devs said porting it would be easy, but so far NOBODY has been able to port G2X and O2X Roms either direction with stock LG Code. CM based Roms, YES, but Factory Stock, NO... The radio files are very different and all attempts to port - by some very talented Devs - have ended in a nice looking rom that can't make calls.
That's not to say that if ICS were the prize, someone couldn't come up with a way, but it's *still* not a guarantee.
EDIT:
Not trying to create drama or anything, but I just think that a FAQ should stick with the facts and not hopes.

I agree, the carriers don't want interchangeability of phones with their competitors' services. That's why the radio frequencies are not shared, they're fragmented between the carriers as is Android for their phones. I only recently got an Android phone but I now realize that the Open Source promise is a fraud.

There is at least potentially one P999 device sold as an Optimus 2X - by Wind Mobile. Potentially there may be another sold by Cincinnati Bell Wireless.
LG says ALL O2X devices are getting ICS. There is a P999 sold as O2X. How is there even debate over this? After getting sued once over failing to deliver a ROM update, do you think LG is really going to fool around with technicalities?
Thats probably something else to consider from LGs point of view. TMobile didn't get sued, LG did. If I were running LG, I would make very sure to fulfill my promises this time around.

Until LG specifically says "G2X" is getting ICS, I would put it into the column of "maybe" and not definitely.

There's a new version of Android out? How come no-one's talking about it?
But more seriously thanks to tombaker1 for the humorous post.

I agree, the carriers don't want interchangeability of phones with their competitors' services. That's why the radio frequencies are not shared, they're fragmented between the carriers as is Android for their phones. I only recently got an Android phone but I now realize that the Open Source promise is a fraud.

How is the android open source promise a fraud? I mean you do realize that they released ICS source right? Up until recently, they couldn't control what vendors did with their phones. Now, with Android being the most used phone OS, they have a little more control on everything.
A lot of people tend to blame Google/Android for the mistakes brought on with a company's phone. I know that an iPhone fanboy here at work made a comment everytime about Android when my G2x died, when it was obviously the phone itself.

Vanilla ROMS?

I was thinking about getting an ATT LG G3 and was looking around , but do not see any Vanilla android roms.
Do they exist?
Do you think there will be a Lollipop rom that can be flashed to this device?
Thanks

No and yes. Once the official or leaked android 5.0 drops for either the international g3 or att g3 our devs will pump something out.

There are aosp roms available. It's just that a few things don't work at the moment (camera has been fixed recently but bluetooth still doesnt work).
The problem is the aosp roms are tethered, meaning you need a pc and adb to boot the rom. As soon as the bump devs release the necessary tools, rom devs will be able to "bump" the kernel and have it ready for flashing. By then you'll be able to download and flash normally.
I think the biggest reason why we don't see more custom ROMs is the fact that the Bump team still has not provided a website or other method for developers to "bump" their work. These guys do this in their spare time (ie they aren't working on this 9-5, 5 days a week). Apparently they are struggling to get their website up and running as it has become a magnet for hacking attempts. Hopefully they will be able to get it all sorted out soon!
Once there is a bump method released to developers, they will be able to really concentrate on the G3 and I think you will see a lot of work released soon after.

I ask this out of ignorance and not impatience in any way, but. . . . Why is the site such a rich target for hacking?

Because they found an exploit in the LG bootloader so it basically paints a target on their back? Those same devs have had other successes with rooting other phones and what not. They are in my opinion very popular in the Phone community from their accomplishments. I think this alone makes them a target which is ridiculous. Whether it be jealousy or someone trying to make a name for themself or better yet a foreign country being mad that Americans cracked the code who knows. Actually I don't exactly know why they are being targeted lol. I am just taking guesses. I am sure their is even a possibility that Team Codefire doesn't know. Either ways its a shame that it is happening but it will all get sorted out.
Wish d850 could at least get a tethered aosp ROM
I bet we see some by next week. The tree is out. Should be good to go soon. I bet this thing is a BEAST when its running something slim.

Roms

What is the hold up on roms? Anyone know?
Sent from my HTC One A9 using Tapatalk
Well it takes time for some developers to make a rom to the best of its ability... Would you rather want a slow buggy rom or a fast and durable rom...so give them some time and im positive they'll have new ones eventually.
There's not much developer support for this device if you haven't noticed
Yeah it just depends if your Device is compatable with the rom you want just keep searching for a rom for your phone there might or might not be one
Hope it will give a Rom with Support for Fingerprint Sensor. :good:
Maybe or maybe not just keep searching for it until you find one good luck

Not complaining. Just asking.

I'm not saying you are im just saying give it some time and there might or might not be one.I know that you were asking and I'm telling you in information that I have heard.
I'm afraid it looks like there isn't much developer support here. Contrast the Oneplus X which came out a few weeks later, and there are plenty of modded OEM roms as well as a somewhat functional version of cm 12.1 being worked on.
I might be moving on to that device myself. It's a shame though since the A9 is physically my favorite phone since the 2013 moto x...
Yeah developers don't want this phone apparently. Devs have to want the phone or have a big enough demand to support a device

Don't worry! The one Max was like this at the beginning to, and it turned out fine.
probably has alot to do with there being no us kernel source yet if i remember correctly, also theyre arent too many marshmellow roms yet anyway. and no kernel source for lolipop means no lolipop roms. just wait young padawan
edit: i just checked htcdev. there definitely ARE source files for att at least.
just gotta wait for somone to port something.
perhaps... pray.

OnePlus X? You live in Europe? Because that phone doesn't support any CMDA, and it doesn't support one of the largest frequencies for LTE by ATT in the US.
So, OnePlus X is kind of a fail, with worse specs than the A9...there are other options out there besides that phone that you need a "special invite"...pleaze..makes me NOT want one just because of that.

Well I'm on T-Mobile, so radio coverage is pretty good, although I would like band 12 LTE.
You can buy opx without an invite on Tuesdays.
As for specs, the 801 is fine with me. My 2014 Moto x had that and it was plenty fast. I think we're at the point laptops hit a few years ago where processors are just fast enough unless you are doing something special with your device.

Tmo and att use many of the same bands. Band 12 is all it has. That won't translate well to ppl outside of metro areas

There's a stock rooted 6.0.1 ROM based on the Dev Edition here.
Someone needs to actually try it and confirm it works.

Building a Sprint version should be relatively straightforward. What's the latest software for Sprint? If someone grabs me a boot and system image backup from TWRP, I can easily build a flashable ROM from it (in fact, anyone can, using SuperR's Kitchen).

I honestly have not even rooted yet. Tbh...I'm a little confused on all this encryption stuff with rooting and s-off. Haven't had a day to really sit down and read in detail the process lol. If I was rooted, I would gladly get what you need sir.
