Hey guys. I'm looking into getting the LG G Flex, but seems like there isn't much roms out there. Is that because the phone is still new? Just wanted to know, because I like the features of the phone, but I prefer Paranoid Android or Cyanogenmod over LG's software. Because the G2 has quite a few roms out there, including PA.
And for those who have the G Flex, how do you like it? Any downsides to having one? Thanks!
The phone has been out in the US for less than a week. Give it time.
There is a lot of feedback about the phone in the General forum.

Oh sorry I did not know. I thought that it was released back in November 2013. Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, give it a lil time. I suspect it won't take long. I imagine we'll see alot of G2 Roms come over. Flex is basically the same. Ran/running CM11 on my G2 for several months, n love it...
I have G2 to as well and running Cloudy Flex Rom on it now. I'm getting a Flex. Most KitKat Roms for the 801 G2 have a echo bug which is annoying. Hope that stays away from the Flex. I like to run stock for a bit just to make sure I like the phone.

Yes dude @thejoshiewawalee give devs time for proper code to even be released i plan on making roms for the device once proper source codes are released. its top of the line and i gamed on it for hours on weekend lasted all day. I personally like stock thanks to lgs custom ui and im using nova launcher. but when source code is released prepare for the "Big Rom Bang". >.-

Its like this for most new phones, dude. Developers and compilers like me need to wait for source code to be released before we can start making roms. We just got root for the ATT LG G Flex but I dont think we even have a recovery yet, haha. As said look forward to good roms coming to Flex when source code is released.
how is LG when it comes to releasing source?
On my HTC one max, which has been out since October, they still have not released it, so there is only one stock based/tweaked rom...
I too like to keep my new device stock for awhile, to learn about it, and make sure I like it. I'm getting a T-mo Flex Thursday or Friday, so I look forward to helping out and learning more about LG smart phones. I havent had an Lg phone in about 15- 20 years, but I remember really liking their flip phones back when the Moto Star Tac was all the rage..

Android operating system will multi-task by default - so Turbo does true multi-tasking like any other Android device. However, some apps (Youtube) will pause/terminate when you switch away from them. That is due to the way that the app is programmed, not due to the operating system. (Youtube has just been updated with a music mode that will keep music videos playing even when you switch away from them).
Some android devices take that extra step of having "multi-windows" so that you can have 2 apps running on the screen at the same time. The Turbo doesn't do this; the Galaxy Note 4 does.

Ooh right, and sorry I did confusion with multi task and multi window... I did this question because i'm between LG G3 and Droid Turbo, I have a RAZR HD but unfortunately I had some problems with him, and now I don't know with I keep with motorola (droid turbo) or I try a new product like LG G3 (I liked so much of the modifications that LG did)
I stay preoccupied if I buy a LG G3 because it's a snap801 while Droid Turbo 805 ...
Both are good phones
I recently went with choosing the Droid turbo over the G3. I'm happy with my choice. My friend who has a G3 likes it, and yes it has some really neat features, but he said that my phone is way faster than his. Plus if you use your phone a lot, then the turbo battery is great for you especially if you're on the go a lot. So it comes down to preferred device.
Honestly when will you honestly use the multitasking feature? When I had the g2 and partially the g3 for a while I rarely used that feature and mostly used it to show off to my friends.
Hi. I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 6. One thing I'm curious is how are people coping with not have Xposed modules. Are you depending on custom roms and themes to make up the difference? Currently on my Note Edge I use App Settings, Heads Up Notifications, Multiwindow plus. Notifly Clean, Swipeback and YouTube Adaway among others. For example App Settings really comes in handy for changing look of apps and such (can give more of a tablet UI). I'd especially like to hear from folks that heavily used Xposed in the past to get their impressions. Anyways, I might get a N6 or wait a bit more to see what comes out at CES. Thanks!

I have adaway on my Nexus 6 and it works great. It's part of the LS ROM. The Nexus 6 is fine without xposed even after using it heavily on all of my other phones. If you want a tablet UI then you can change the DPI on your phone to 320 (560 is stock) and most people seen to like 460-480dpi. It's well worth the upgrade if you love to flash. Anything from CES (LG, ASUS, Samsung etc..) Won't have nearly as much development if any compared to a Nexus device. I like to flash ROM's and kernels so rather than deal with the hassle of unbricking a LG or Samsung with factory tools I can flash the stock ROM via fastbokt with my nexus easily. It's all up to what you plan to use the phone for. Any new phone debuting this year won't have xposed anyway because they will have lollipop
Your problem is not the Nexus 6, your problem is with Lollipop. Due time, Xposed will be made to work with ART.
Regardless of whatever phone you're using, if it has Lollipop, Xposed will not work.

Thanks for your replys. I was wondering if folks could change dpi on apps individually instead of globally.
Clearly lollipop is inevitable. I've tried a recently released developers version of lollipop on my former dd (Note 3) and it has some nice features plus some Note 4 multiwindow improvements. But I also missed my Xposed mods when using it. The main problem I'm having with the EDGE is that I'm not sure how much development will continune on it. Currently there are two very nice roms (I'm refering to tmobile here variant) but no custom kernels. So I guess I'm suffering from developer envy lol... CES should be interesting in that more devices should be introduced with 64 bit processors along with, perhaps some of the larger screen sony devices. At lest that is the hope!
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
I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. I used to own the LG G2, which was the first phone I ever flashed a custom ROM to. I flashed a ported version of LG's G Flex ROM to my G2 and absolutely loved it. It came with this feature that I'm not sure if it was a G Flex feature or a custom added feature by the dev (and unfortunately I don't remember who the dev was) but during a phone call, next to all the typical "mute," "keypad," etc options was a "record" feature. It worked flawlessly. The audio quality was fantastic for both the caller and myself.
I'm looking for a good custom ROM for my Nexus 6 to hopefully increase battery life. I was wondering if there is any custom N6 ROM out there that has a built in record call feature. Does one exist out there?
