Is LG going to upgrade to Android 4.4? - LG G Flex

Has LG made any comments about upgrading the flex past 4.2.2?
I know they have a bad reputation about upgrading the OS..
And things don't seem to positive for development like custom ROMs..hoping that'll change with the g flex U.S versions.

Well I ask because I'm using the new Moto G and Motorola promised a quick rollout of Android 4.4 before the phone was even released..
But I was kinda shocked a flagship phone that's brought us features like curved display and bendable came with 4.2.2 ..kinda weak IMO

Maybe they do same to us

Read an article that LG plans to skip 4.3 etc go from 4.2 to 4.4. When exactly not sure on that one. But it is being discussed a little

From all of the recent rumors I say in a couple more months and heard LG is skipping 4.3 to go straight to 4.4 which makes since. Im excited for it too but am patient. I think it will tripple its already awesome battery due to kitkat being less ram consumptious.

small sprint OTA

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...eak/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews. Unfortunately not 4.2.2 or at least a new radio.
Could this be the bug fix that the European version got before the real update?

HERP DERP DERP super productive.
I don't have this update.
I wish I could care to get this update. 2 months for the "big update" huh? Will we be able to get a 4.2.2 sense room before then? Prob not since it's in Europe? Well that's too bad. Luckily I don't hate sense 5 like I did on my Evo3D

Hopefully someone will give us a leak in the next month. Someone already claims to have the 4.2.2 leak, just doesn't wanna share it yet.

Don't you miss when you used to be able to download updates directly from Sprint and install them via PC? I remember doing that on my Samsung Moment when we were all at Android 1.6.
Anyway... small update or not, I can't flash it soon enough - I have problems with calls where I can't be heard and can't hear the other person. Hoping whatever changes to bring HD voice might fix my problems. Since I'm rooted, waiting on the changes to find their way into a ROM.

My guess is he's lying, or someone would get in trouble if he released it. If that's the case, then why tell other people that you have it, and get them excited for nothing?

[DEV][ROM] Porting CM11 to LG G Flex

Who am I?
Hello, my name is Lorenzo I am 16 y.o. and I am from Italy. I started falling in love w/ Android in 2010 with my first LG P500 (Optimus One). Now I own a phone store and I can have almost any phone for good price but I loved the LG G Flex since I saw it, at the presentation. I ordered it from China 5 days after. It arrived 3 weeks ago.
What do I want from you, the XDA Community?
I need to get in touch with some good Android developers to port the PURE GOOGLE custom rom is available for the LG G2 to the LG G Flex (since they are really similar devices). I tried downloading it, trying to port it w/o any success. Just boot loop and EFS partition lost.
How can you help me?
I have some basic Java and C knowledge but it's not as "high-level" as the one that Android Open Source development needs.
So, what now?
If you know a developer, if you are a developer you know you can help me (well, you can help ALL the LG G Flex community). No one took this device seriously from the beginning but I KNOW we can DO IT. I am always available for testing, helping and stuff but I, we really need YOUR help to do it!
On 2nd post you will find EVERY people available for testing.
If you have any idea, just write. The keyboard doesn't bite, me neither.
People available for testing
Since there are different LG G Flex variants, this post is divided in sections. Under every section there are the people available for testing on that model
LG G Flex D955 (European model):​
LG G Flex D958 (Hong Kong & Asia model):​
-Me! @cascio97​
LG G Flex D959 (TMobile USA model):​-@kintwofan​-@Da Kine​-@bbobarino​-@mattwheat​LG G Flex D950 (AT&T model):​-@mja0318​
LG G Flex LS995 (Sprint model):​-@maxrusakoff​
LG G Flex F340 (Korea model):​
I can test the959 and possibly help with getting it working. I've been wanting to tackle aosp and this would be a perfect phone to run it.
On a side note this should probably get in general..... Do we even have a mod, I've seen a lot that would get shut down in other threads going in here?

I think you missed what I meant. I mean a moderator (mod) I see tons of bickering, repeat threads, questions in the wrong section, etc. In the note 2 forum that stuff would be deleted instantly.
By the way development is slow because it's a new phone with a locked bootloader. I think there's like 3 or 4 people ready to drop a ROM when we get a recovery. I know I am

I didn't do anything else than copying some libs from stock to custom CM11 (the LG G2 one). As I said it doesn't boot, and I had some problems with the CWM recovery when flashing.

It's probably a kernel issue. Despite the similarities between the g2 and flex we will need a new kernel for AOSP based ROMs. Fortunately we do have a kernel dev (oh and PlayfulGod had made AOSP before) around so maybe when we get recovery it will see a lot if love

Ain't to much changed on 5.1.1 sprint seem the same to me. Feel a little smoother only time will tell.
Nothing special about 5.1.1 but a bunch of internal fixes, no noticeable changes. Its going to work for some, but not for others, as always...
