When I look through the Verizon G2 Android Development forum I see stock+ ROMs based on the 24A LG skin, I see "AOSP-based" ROMs (technically they're all based on AOSP but I'm referring to non-OEM-skinned ROMs), and a hybrid ROM with elements taken from the G-Flex ROM. What I don't see is a full-on custom ROM based on any of the LG-skinned ROMs as far back as 10b.
I was wondering if anyone is working on a full custom ROM based on 24A. Naturally it's too early to see any yet, but it'd be nice to know if one was in the works, or if I missed one somewhere in the myriad of subforums in which VS980 ROMs can be found. I know there are Xposed modules available but in my experience I've found them to be rather unstable. Thanks in advance for your helpful replies ?.

Define custom. Are you talking stock-based with aosp elements, like eclipse?

No - I don't know if you're familiar with some of the custom ROMs based on TouchWiz or Sense, but I was hoping someone or some dev team would develop something like that for LG's 24A skin.

Its not called "tech support" its Q & A.... I don't understand what it is that your asking for. I came from the note 3 to the g2, stock based rom options that we had were Clean Rom(basically stock debloated and optimized), Baja Rom (themeable, customizable stock), Eclipse (AOSP elements) and JellyBeans (AOSP Themed). Most of these Roms were deodexed, debloated, stock roms with a few tweaks/themes added to them. If you compare the features of Clean Rom and Malladus they are similar, same goes for XDABBEB's. The G2 has a themeable UI, so theming the Rom isn't necessary. I personally have themed a few apks in my rom because I don't like green (phone and mms), but other than that I use LG Home Themes.
@shiftr182 ok I can appreciate that - so basically the primary ROMs based on the LG skin are stock+ with limited customizations. I also understand that the LG Home themes already address the need for customizable look and feel options. I had mainly been hoping for a LG-skinned counterpart to a fully-featured ROM such as AOKP. Thanks for the helpful reply (btw I also don't like green all that much ?)

If Im on AOSP, I use Alloy Blue theme primarily, but there is a nice G2 theme for theme manager available here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.lgoptimus
I have been using the 4.4 based build of Carbon Rom the last couple days.

By default I must say Tranquil Rom. It's really customizable fully themed. It doesn't have the newest OTA incorporated yet though.
Viper is the best stock rooted & includes the newest OTA. Hope I helped

Just wondering why we have 2 different development forums? Seems they both have similar content but I have to go from one to the other and I'm not sure there's any reason for having both? Anyone else think this is annoying?
We have 2 one for AOSP based Roms and one for touch wiz roms. The one for touchwiz is Roms that are based on the phones original firmware. The other are based on stock android.

NO this is very wrong! Read the sticky in Original development. Only ROMs created from ground up like CM and AOKP are original. Any clone or cherry picked ROM does not belong in Original Development.

So what your saying is we have a second development forum for 2 roms. All other AOSP roms are clones of them aren't they?

Also for kernels, ROMs with custom kernels, ROMs built from the ground up. Definitey not for someone who just follows CM's instructions on how to build from their source and they change one thing. That is not original. The huge misconception that one is for TW makes no sense on Google devices...then nothing should go in Android Development? The Original Development section was created to reward developers and teams who have created or modified 100's of lines of code and put a lot of original work into their release.
I can't find a single Sprint ROM in this forum except stock...
Verizon even uses CDMA and their bootloader I thought was more difficult to unlock as well..
I'm sitting here all rooted and bootloader unlocked on Sprint and can't flash anything except stock.
Any reason why/any devs working on Sprint ROMs?
Or are there any Sprint ROMs that I've just missed/are there any compatible (they all say VZW/GSM)?
-If not, please consider this a formal request :cyclops:
Thanks in advance!
***If there are any that are currently compatible please reply/list here for myself and others

Have you tried a Verizon rom on Sprint? I am sure a few things need tweaked but might be something to look at..
I've asked the same about US Cellular...it's just that no developer has surfaced on those carriers much for some reason... :what: (at least sprints still got more Dev going on then US Cellular) I'm unlocked as well. (Seems for no reason, though root is nice)

I have not because all of the ROMs say GSM variants or name Verizon specifically, as well as asking a few other sprint xda users and they all say the same thing- "I don't think there are any for Sprint right now except stock."
If you are recommending this, can you name one that would be the safest bet?
Thanks

Which ROM? Just to make you feel better, all the custom ROMs are not daily drivers cm11 has camera,sound and some her minor issues, gummy ROM has the same issues, so the stock ROM is by far the best ROM and xposed only makes it that much better
Sent from my A2109A using Tapatalk 4
Honestly this phone is a stock style phone. If you want a more mods try using the Xposed framework and modules if you haven't already. Look for the Gravity box module and install. It allows for modification to your lockscreen, nav bar, status bar, reboot menu, quick tiles, clock, battery mods, pie controls, etc. I went back to stock rooted on my Nexus 7 as well because of Xposed much better experience than running cm or other variants. Hope this helps your phone experience. I included a link to the thread

Out of curiosity I had tried one of the stock modded Verizon roms. To be honest I really don't see the need so much for a custom ROM on this phone either, especially with xposed, however the one thing I would like to see is a good custom kernel or two. I would like to try some CPU and GPU overclocking just to see what kind of results we could get.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
I agree with the post above I just picked this phone up yesterday rooted installed exposed and use gravity box for all my customizing and V4A works so I'm happy. A custom kernel would be nice with faux sound just to give the headset a slight boost when listening to music on headphones the speaker sounds just as good as the Htc one so called boom sound
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
After installing xposed frame work and gravity box don't see any need for custom ROM. Kind of reminds me of MOAR ROM on GS3.

I could probably live without Theme Chooser thanks to the Closed Framework. But I'd kill for some inverted 4.4 gapps. It does kinda suck not having some Sprint ROMs to flash and try out, though.

Currently using the 3/1 CM 11 build, and since it's not really being updated and there were so many issues with it, i'm trying to see if it's possible to get a completely AOSP very stable build on the G2. I'm talking google boot animation and the whole 9. Any suggestions would be nice. Kinda getting annoyed with random reboots, especially while i'm on the phone, along with the screen coming on during phone calls. Thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of any that are going to be completely AOSP with no tweaks. C-ROM, CarbonROM, and Mahdi, come to mind for light-weight AOSP, but even they have built-in tweaks.

vanir is good
You can try JackpotClavin's CM11 builds for the 24A OTA release. I haven't had a single crash since I switched to his build.
Vanir is beyond stable, and is 4.4.3.
Mahdi is based on n5

You need to stop using AOSP roms built on the JB source if you want to get away from the SOD's. Update your bootstack following the steps in JackPotClavin's CM11 based on 24A thread and you're free to install any of the AOSP roms built on top of 24A.

There are many 24a based roms that run perfect:

ive been rocking cyanideL as my daily for two or more months now. mainly because it has the best nav bar editor (havent tried new one from bliss). was flashing different roms twice a week before that. thats if you are okay with cm based. other cm based roms with that navbar editor are exodus (the creator of the navbar editor in question) and fusion. thing about cm, be careful about encryption being forced, and compatability with some kernals.
if you go aosp, chroma is good, pure nexus is too. if you want stock based, i like N6Shamu, which has gravitybox as an installation option in the aroma installer. TraSmooth is stock based with a lot of optimizations, and some of the m preview stuff.
another option is the m preview stock based roms. jdx is an m preview stock based rom that is good at keeping up with those previews.
if you are on t mobile and need wifi/lte calling, there are only a handful that have ironed that all out.
