kitkat roms

When should we start seeing more custom roms or maybe a beta kitkat rom for the flex.

probably not till LG releases source, and who knows when that might be..

Coming from a G2 with KitKat Roms they were nice but most had 801 builds had the echo build and a few other bugs. I'm fine with stock on the Flex for now and I'm a flash whore well was. lol

I am too, but, i have learned to be patient lately..my one max on sprint had no roms for almost 2 months, and I was fine with that..this phone is so cool, I feel the same way.

While I love the Flex and the stock software, I would love to see CM 11 or another AOSP based ROM popup to give it a go. I'm a big Nexus fan.

I would say at least a month or two if not longer.

Mine comes in tomorrow and I am also coming from a G2. Honestly with the specs being so close really the only difference being screen assets I can't see it being that long. That's also dependant on how many devs jump onto the Flex. G2 started off slow until people realized the true potential of the phone and then dev exploded. At least we have root and I can gravity box some of the stuff I want done

Why don't you buy a Nexus then? Kinda defeats the purpose. That's like buying a Impala and saying "I can't wait for those 36 inch rims to come out... I love Dodge trucks." lol (Please don't read it out of context/ I'm saying it jokingly)
I hope LG drops a KitKat version soon.

Android Auto doesnt work!

So I guess im super lucky and finally got Android Auto in my Sonata 2015 but it doesnt work with The Verizon Lg G3.... Its one of three phones that it doesnt work for supposedly... Im wondering if there is some kind of workaround? There has to be!? Ive tried multiple roms and options but cant seem to figure out how to get it to work for my device! If anyone can help me out that would be amazing! :laugh:

Just FYI, it would be "1 of 3 of the MOST POPULAR new phones" running stock Lollipop+ that Google has tested.
I'm sure there is a huge list of less popular phones that aren't working, but Google has only done positive/negative testing on the most popular. Fragmentation is a problem for Google too.
Maybe that will make you feel slightly less bad.
Sorry I don't have an answer for your actual question.

yeah that's true but as far as Im aware if it has lollipop it should work regardless and if someone doesn't have lollipop I doubt they would have android auto. Its just annoying because every other variant of this phone works with android auto and it seems like something someone on XDA could fix before Verizon gives out an update... which would be months from now if that! Guess I just have to wait or buy a new phone which im too cheap to do!

Or flash cyanogen 12? (Not 12.1) the last 12 official build works fine.

This is why I'm not on Verizon, and why I don't buy phones with heavily OEM modified Android. You risk it not working with the latest and greatest that Google puts out.
I have always stuck with Nexus (or recently) Motorola devices. As much as I liked the G3 (and the G4 even more), I want to play with all things Android, so better to stay with vanilla Android as much as possible.

I always try and make my phones as vanilla android as possible. But I think Im just gonna buy a Nexus 6 and stick my sim into it for now and then sell my G3 on swappa. Ive never owned a Nexus phone before because I never had spare money but I have a new job (salary based finally!) So I think im gonna just treat myself, ive always wanted a Nexus phone as well!.

Happy Nexus Sixing!

Lollipop for the G Flex

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure no one has seen me in the G Flex section. I did work for the M8, G3 etc back in the day. I just picked up a G Flex the other day with T-Mobile excited to put Lollipop on it. Came home and searched the threads to see there isn't lollipop for it nor is there any AOSP ROMs for it. I understand the issues behind it but I just wanted to say these issues doesn't prevent ASOP running on our G Flex. There's still possibilities. I came from the ZTE Zmax, and we had 1 dev working on our phone and got CM12.1 up and running with full stability in a month. I read somewhere that LG confirmed that the G Flex will NOT get lollipop because of some issues that was causing it to be buggy. LG basically stalled development on the G Flex until the 18 months that Google gave as an requirement for Software updates was over. The 18 month period for the G Flex ended back in May. So LG basically used that as an excuse to not update our phone, which is very stupid and it sucks but we have developers in this community that are smarter than LG Devs. We don't need a kernel source to build a functional kernel, even though a source would help tremendously. The ZTE Zmax, ZTE Awe ($30 phone), LG Tribue ($40 Phone) are all running CM12.1 with no kernel source and locked Bootloaders. For sensor and Audio issues you could simply TRY and use libs from other devices that compare like the G2. That's what the dev for the ZTE Zmax did. I see development started for lollipop but ended months ago. I also see a couple people working on CM11 and others quietly working on their own CM12 build. I'm not here to criticize, because I know this kind of stuff isn't easy. I'm just simply giving advice on something that may or may not have been tried yet. It's been almost a year since lollipop launched and you would expect a Flagship device to have lollipop or at least an AOSP ROM by now. Android M is being launched in a few months. Let's get this project back up and running and don't stop until its finished! We have plenty of donators including me. If help is needed ask other experienced Devs, CM Devs, even Devs on the Android Forums. This phone has way too much potential to just forget about.

I'm already accepting that we may not get anything and gotten used to a tweaked stock rom. There's a reason cheaper phones have lollipop already, they're going to have larger user bases by default. There is really no reason to pick up a flex even under an upgrade deal when there are plenty of competing phones that already have thriving communities, and I wish I did more research before I got mine. So really it comes down to someone only picking it up to get something different and even hindered.
That said, if some crazy dev does decide to pick the phone I'll be pleasantly surprised but preaching like this forum has been for weeks now isn't going to do anything when we have no devs actively working or even looking at us. I'm really hoping I get proven wrong and I'm definitely ready to throw some money at a reputable dev but seriously now, we don't even have stable cm11 ports and people are hoping for lollipop.

That's the problem, that fact that Lollipop is almost a year old and we don't even have 4.4.4 KitKat. We're about 2 years behind. This is why I said, lets go around and recruit. There are some Devs that don't even need the device in hand to build. They build and use testers. It seems like when there are kernel related issues Devs give up because they have little to no kernel knowledge. There's ways around that. Like I said, the CM11 port may not be stable but its still silently being worked on, just not finished in the timeframe people expect. And I've seen a couple people quietly working on their own CM12 builds. CM12 is already booting, its just in the same condition as CM11, which no one figured out how to fix yet, which is Sound, Bluetooth etc. I believe this device will get Lollipop soon, but only if people are eager and motivated to get the job done.

I have my Huawei Mate 2 with lollipop. It goes for 2 days with heavy use when it had Android 4 so I'll have to see what it will do now. The reason I put it down was because the camera sucked but with the update it seems to work fine. I love the LG form factor with the power and volume buttons and even the gui is cool but I'll try the Mate 2 and see. Mate 2 has a brighter screen, but the lg has wifi calling so lots of pluses and minuses. My fried got the Mate 7. Awesome phone but he was used to the long batter of the Mate 2 so returned it.

You guys MIGHT wanna check out playfulgod's CM11 thread, all the new development from the past month has been going on there. We now have sound working!!!

The d959
Does anyone know if the latest cm11 build with sound and data for the d959 will work? Saw the multiple .zip files but none for 959 in the main thread(cm11)

Read! Reply over there BTW, more likely to get help. And he's gonna build for d959 when data works on lswhateveritscalled. Sound works on all.

I know we've all heard it before. I ditched this phone to basically get lollipop. But after a few weeks I realized what I'd been hearing since launch. I don't hold this screen right up in my face. I don't care about pixels. What I do care about? The awesome size and battery life. Mine never stutters. Forget lollipop. I'm fine with the flex the way she is. I would like to see more development. But if we get it we do and if we don't we don't. I still have an awesome and powerful phone and cm12.1 would run awesome.

This thread is a good initiative...flex forums have been so dead over the months, it pains me to see such a great phone relegated to the grave...here to help..can donate and test

Why did we never get any ROMs or updates?

For its time the Flex was a superb phone at a very good price. Plenty of ram, processing power, etc. It even had IR and a big colored led. How being much, much harder to break than a typical phone is anything but great is beyond me. So how the hell did we not get one single rom? I've seen dinky little $40/3.5in throwaway phones get at least one rom. What happened?

I wonder this as well. The flex is still my wife's phone she absolutely loves it. When it's out of its case, people still comment on how beautiful a phone it is.

What happened was LG killed us Flex users by not unlocking the BL.
Also a devicetree couldnt be brought up so it was pretty difficult to get things working.
Bump helped us at least to have a recovery and I used playfulgods CM11 with working data but no sound or calls.
then I used MIUI too for LS996 working data and sound but BT and calls were a no go.
My sister has the phone now and she absolutely loves how fluid it is and that people amaze by its rare curved design.
LG killed this magnificent phone... if someone is to blame its them.

This is a plea for all developers to come help out. I've been knocking on every door that I know, everyone else do the same. Maybe someone will help out.
I actually like this phone more than my oneplus. Just from a durability standpoint. I get more comments on my flex than my one also.
Maybe we should start a "working cm Rom bounty" thread....
I definitely would be in for paying someone for there time.

Willing to contribute to the bounty.
This is a damn good phone

Yup...LG's attitude towards the G Flex is why I left a rather scathing Facebook post promising NEVER to buy anything other than a Nexus phone.

Well actually I got GFlex2 and its an amazing phone. But it seems its going the same route as gflex1 cuz of the bl locked and no custom recovery/roms. But the thing is a beast, its a trully amazing fone.
I hope this one gets better stuff. At least a cm or aosp.

I believe some of the Nexus phones are actually made by LG. :|

One of the new Nexus 2015s is made by LG. The G4 Pro also looks pretty good hardware-wise, but if you can't unlock the damn bootloader then they're definitely out of the game.

There was alot of good devs that worked on this. There is a device tree hanging around. Thing to do is yell at LG for not rls the source nor unlocking the bootlaoder. Im sure playful,justin or dfuse would be glad to help if anyone started a promising project. We where testing behind close doors for awhile but bootloader and drivers was the main issue

I'm new, really new ...... But... What does it take to unlock the boot loader? If not a break in the software, time then? After a device ages, will LG release source and such?
Behind close doors? Does that mean someone is still working on CM for this but just not updating on XDA? Or doesn't want to update here?
Thanks for posting.

No one is working on it as far as I know bump did a awesome job. But honestly every remarkable dev has tried. No disrepect to them or me lol. But the phone was forgot

It isn't even from LG. The source of the info is super sketchy and I have high doubts we will see 6.0 as well. LG2/flex are kinda EOL now. In fact with the flex 2 being shoveled onto boost as well as being given away for new sprint plans, I wouldn't be surprised is Android 6 didn't happen.

I in if there a bounty for cm12, please inform me if it will be started.

Will Moto G2 get Android N?

HI everyone,
Is there any definite information available regarding whether the Moto G2 would get the Android N? Thanks for sharing any information about this.

I pray for stock 6.0.1 and security update
support lenovo says that the last tests but when asked which country he could not say
lying, but I hope I'm wrong
forget about stock N..
only custom..
I'll wait a few more weeks as nothing appears I install custom 5.1.1 or RR 5.7.3 based on M.
but on all 6 rom touch issuse is there from what I read

Android N will not be coming to our beloved Moto G2. It will come by CM or other custom rom.

I very doubt it. Titan didn't even got stock 6.0.1 yet. Perhaps CM could bring it, who knows.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Really appreciate it!
Oh well, I am kinda used to the Moto G2 as my second phone. It was quite cheap and is still quite fast and problem-free. So, I was curious (and hopeful) about whether there was any chance of it getting the upcoming Android.
Thanks again! :good:

I am waiting for android N ...lets hope we get it soon

Well, if Lenovo fixed the touch issues, it would make things easier. Anyways, one of CM13's devs for Titan said that it would be hard because stuff changed the camera and without proper source code, it would be hard to make it work. One can only hope.

I just had a chat with Motorola Customer Support. They said that they do not have any information right now as to which all phones will get Android N and by when would they get it.

No stock naugat.

I'm a moto g 2014 owner and i got the official 6.0 patch on my device, though i was a part of a soak test but i'm pretty sure it was released right after the soak ended back in February. chances of Android N on moto g 2nd gen are slim but it could happen.

any chance of custom n rom

Why? The custom ROM's currently available are awesome and provide all that I need for now. If getting the latest version of Android becomes that important to me then I will upgrade my phone to one that supports it. But that's me.

Seems like you don't experience the touch issues which are plaguing the MM ROMs for this device then. And I agree, I don't see a hurry for Nougat for me right now, Marshmallow would be good enough. And I would prefer to see this phone die on MM with a fixed touch drivers (pls Lenovo), rather than going to NG with lots of things broken, according to the devs.

No I don't have any touch issues. But my post may have been prophetic. Yesterday, my mobile data stopped working for no apparent reason. All of the usual suspects are properly set and on still, so it is definitely a hardware issue. I have no data unless I am connected through a WIFI AP. Really sucks since I cannot access the WIFI at my job with personal devices. And the company laptop is so restricted I can't really get any personal business done on my break times.
Bottom line - I ordered a Moto G 4th gen yesterday evening. Hopefully it will serve me as well as did the 2nd gen. I really gave it a thorough run for the two years I had it. We'll see how it compares.

Touch issues happen only if you have glass protecting screen on some ROMs but if you have i recommend cm13 and if you need more personalization put xposed and thats all
