hi guys,
It's been a great time in the OneX forum - I still remember when I stayed up all night in excitement when the Bootloader was unlocked on the AT&T version !
I just got myself a LG G2 - which is suprisingly cheap (as new for 200 USD) and powerful for its size... and I am drooling over the 3000 mah battery. I thought of getting the OPO, as a lot of ex-Evita owners did, but things are really murky in the OPO territory with the whole CM incident. Also, it's way too big for me and does not have a tenth of the accessories that the LG G2 has.
I'm still holding on to my Evita - so I'll see you guys from time to time !
i got the LG G2 but im back on the evita. the evita is so much easier to modify. also with the at&t version the d800, uses .tot files instead of .kdz to go back to stock which has to be leaked instead of direct dl from lg which makes the firmware version old then u have to ota back up to latest. i should of gone with the htc one m7 or m8.
the plus side is if u dont need the current firmware images u can root and flash recovery all on the phone. i find the lg ui to be the only stock ui i can stand without having to go aosp as a must.
i tested the moto x and the nexus 6 which are nice but pricey right now. i have been waiting for moto to come out with a good android device on at&t since motorola got me started phone modding first with the triplets series v600 then at&t first android phone the moto backflip motus.
i will eventually pull out the lg g2 d800 again but for now the evita has given me new appreciation.

As compared to the Evita, the LG G2 is super moddable . Check out my story here . In fact I love the fact that I am able to hack the Lg G2 to the extent I am. You are incorrect in the TOT vs KDZ statement - the TOT is only needed for a particular flash method using LG Flash tool. However, the flash method I used to recover from my hardbricked phone only ever needed KDZ.
The M7 and M8 are the world's most unrepairable phones (here ) - one of the biggest reason that I did not go with them. As on today, the most hackable phones are the LG and the Moto.
If you want a brilliant stock experience on the G2, then I suggest Cloudy G3 which leverages the G3 UI (which is quite good). We are getting official Lollipop in Feb, so that should be pretty cool as well !
so the wife & i each have a 1+1.
i am a flasher
i flash almost daily...she is still running the stock 1+1 rom
from my experience every 1+1 lollipop i have tried has had some issues with 1 thing or another.
is there a stable enough one out that i can put on my wifes phone? she is not technical AT ALL!
currently im running the blisspop...i like it,,but there are some quirks...
any input would be great...

Your wife let's you wipe/flash her phone on a fairly consistant basis? If so count your blessings. My wife freaks out when ever something changes on her's. I gave her GPE Lollipop for her S4 and she cursed me for days.
lol helllll no!
i flash my phone alot....not hers...
thats why i was wondering about a stable lollipop...
She has/had lollipop on her Nexus 4,,,,but now she has the 1+, & she said the other day "why can i do this, this way on the old phone,,,,but i cant on the new"
so she is used to Lollipop not kitkat...& wants it...
It seems to be that you answered your own question in your first post. Wait for CM12S to be released in a month, until then leave her phone on KitKat.

Try temasek unofficial cm12 latest version on yours first. It's been stable as hell for me and others. U need the cm12 alpha modem but you probably are already running that lol
If you find it stable enough for yourself then move onto your wife's phone. But be warned, she may kill you if her Facebook/Instagram videos don't load lol (not that I have any problems with either)

Hello I've had this phone for around 7months or so and remained stock rooted as I hoped for more development but as it seems things are happerning but at a slow pace, I now want to put a rom on I'm looking at the 5.0.1 version but I don't wanna to mess about I just want to flash a rom and leave it so can anyone recommended a rom and let me know if the overall performance is better the stock 10f D838
Many thanks.
Hi
My daughter has a 1st gen Moto G [XT1032] which is about 5 months old.
About a month ago the stock rom (Tesco uk) wouldn't boot and has she had cracked the screen it wasn't covered under the warranty.
So I rooted it and put on a stock Eu rom 4.4.4 and that seemed ok for about 2 weeks and then similar issues with booting.
So then I wiped everything and put on Cyanogenmod on 5.1.1 I think it was but that only lasted about 3 days before not booting,
I then tried a fresh copy of that again but last night she came to me with it and it was so buggy and jumpy and the home screen wouldn't load and it was massively overheating.
So I searched again for another stock rom of 4.4.4 and I put that on last night.
Do you think it could be a hardware problem that's causing it or am I just choosing unstable roms?
If so can anyone recommend a stable rom as there are so many to choose from.
Thanks for any advise
Sounds like hardware.
Mine was a Tesco phone on 4.4.4 now running optimized stock .br 5.0.2 from the development section and it's never ran better!

Thanks I was thinking that because she dropped it and cracked the screen it's had a knock on effect... Not sure what hardware fault could cause it though
Not so long ago I bought rooted G2 with android 5.0.2. Honestly, this phone is garbage with this software. Can I install different one or roll back to kitkat? I remember having G2 with 4.4.2 and it was really smooth.
Partner would you be kind enough to share a TWRP backup of your kernel right now ??
Thanks in advance !!!
