Curious if LG G6 will eventually get root, and custom recovery to allow for Lineage 14.1 ROM ?
It will not.
Ouch that sucks I was hoping the G6 would eventually get root and then ROM's, like the G5 did. Oh well, not using this phone then

The boot loader is already unlocked so this phone will probably get root. CM is dead though so no chance of that. However it may get some custom roms.

He means LineageOS 14.1 which is not dead. Heck my old ass Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is running LineageOS 14.1 so never say never when it comes to LineageOS. My Note Pro was about to be recycled until LineageOS 14.1. It feels like a new tablet now. I would love it on my G6!!!

You guys / gals are angels from heaven to work on this. Thank you
I still think the best bang for the buck phone out for 2017 is the LG G6, selling for like $499 now, and soon with Root and official CM14.1 ( Lineage ROM ), it's the phone to beat for the price. The G6 running official Cyanogen ROM for $499, I'm all over that. Will be a super cool phone. Plus it's IP68 waterproof, and has wireless charging, and is also very one handed friendly for a 5.7" device. This phone with AOSP ROM = nerds wetdream

International Version already has TWRP
Apparently the intl model's bootloader does not have all the fastboot commands stripped out like our tmo model :|
This makes theirs much easier to twrp/root.
So we just need a recovery and rom if we can unlock our bootloaders already ?
I saw this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634759622 looking around, I am not the dev of this nor have any part or take any credit on this. I just think this is a little weird I haven't seen nothing around here unless that's the same rom posted in the development thread, But by a different dev?

Yes, but there is no way to install twrp quite yet. To the best of my knowledge they devs basically have it, but they have to refine it an d make it user friendly so we aren't all bricking our phones

I've rooted every one of my phones since the OG Droid. Oddly enough, I'm really not missing root much for this phone- was originally hanging on the edge of my seat for it. As I've been living with it through the last few weeks, though, I don't think about it much. If it does get root, I'll probably do it- but this is the first time I think it won't matter that much. I'm really enjoying this phone (my first LG).
Cheers!

Don't quote me but the official unlock is just like it was on g5. But boorloader unlock still works for g5 and g6 just not an "official" unlock
Really hoping that they do this soon. The phone was fantastic for the first couple of weeks then the anticipated happened, as has been my experience with all carrier ROMs. It starts to get sluggish, battery life gets crap (I was getting 6+hours SOT, now lucky to get 4), and phone is generally becoming slower.
Like many, I don't need crazy fancy ROMs, the G6 is surprisingly nice in stock format. Just want a clean, light, optimized ROM/kernel without all the TMobile crap they think people like.

Hey guys, I just purchased my custom PURE edition Moto X on the Cyber Monday deal and anxiously awaiting it. I was browsing the Development threads and noticed there isn't anything out there for Roms, why is that? The bootloader is unlockable and root is possible, is there a reason devs haven't been attracted to the Moto X or created any roms?
Usually requires source code or a port of some kind to get the roms started. Hopefully a Dev gets them rolling soon.
Does Motorola not release the source code?
And another reason is that with the factory Motorola tweaks, this phone really doesn't need any Roms. Root, yes. If exposed were updated to work with ART, then perfection! Motorola x 2013 really had very few Roms. Many of us like it the way it is.

I think they are actually pretty good about releasing source code. Definitely better than Samsung and HTC IMO.

I'm sure the experience is great, I just like trying roms and enjoying the added value they bring. I figured a phone this nice and unlocked bootloader would be very dev friendly so I'm surprised there isn't much for development

Part of what makes this phone so nice are the added features that Motorola implemented, is moto display, moto voice... You'd lose those in a custom ROM. It's already running stock android so I really don't see the need anyway. I'm keeping mine on KitKat so I can use xposed, so as far as I'm concerned mine is running the best software possible- stock android + moto features + all the customization I want from xposed. It's glorious.
I used to love flashing custom ROMs when I owned a Samsung device. It was the only way to unlock their hardware's true potential. Douchwiz was always a laggy mess, not to mention it looks like something right out of the 90's. After owning the original X, I went through flashing withdrawal. Now, with the new X, I feel that flashing a custom ROM simply isn't necessary. It's fast, had features I use, and makes me happy.

Couldn't agree more. Just got my device yesterday. Don't feel the need to flash anything yet
There are a few tweaks and customizations I like from some Roms. Once Xposed gets compatible there probably won't be a real need for custom ROM's
I really like what the moto x has on offer

Yep, I used to be a flashaholic but the original Moto X changed that. Even my Nexus 5 is running stock KitKat.

I don't get it. Why would you lose the custom Moto features in a custom ROM? Aren't these features just bundled in APKs now in the new X?

Right, but does that mean that you would need sources for the drivers? Or, can the drivers just be extracted as files from the stock boot/system?

I'd imagine that AOSP based ROMs would not be able to utilize the Moto X-clusive (cwutididthar??) features but ones based on the stock software could. Though I'm no dev so really I am just repeating things I've read by people more knowledgeable than I. Historically speaking, AOSP ROMs never have OEM exclusive features so I'd imagine the X would be no different.
Now back to the original question, considering that the only version of the X that even could flash a custom ROM is the Pure, and unfortunately the X just isn't a popular phone (which is a damn crime because it is easily the best phone available at the moment all things considered), I don't think we will ever see much development for it. But that doesn't bother me at all- I'm still on 4.4.4 with Xposed, and I am perfectly happy keeping it that way until I buy my next phone.

Not really a wise option. The roms right now are hacked together with bits and parts from other stuff and without an updated kernel many things are causing issues and you dont get all the new under the hood improvments.

Yeah I have the source and alot is still missing compared to the DP5. I have spoken with most teams and they are all of the same mind. Until it is fixed they wont build for the n6. Some are even gonna wait until late September or October before even attempting to build it. We are all over Google groups complaining about it. Most think it has to do with Qualcom and the new Vulcan stuff that qualcomm is refusing to support on some chips.
We can only wait and see. I personally am not touching a single rom that is built at the moment. Not a fan of hack together roms.

Not with a device I rely on. My device is a tool not a toy lol.
Plus I make my own roms and only use roms made by a very few others. To be honest only 2 teams do I trust their roms to flash to my device. I know all too well the risks involved in flashing roms.

Hi, if you are I would like to give it a try. Vodafone have given me a Pralx1 on contract. It certainly has lots of room for improvement as it has the usual bloated system install and isn't anywhere near as fast as it could be. It is slightly choppy through the menus compared to similar spec phones. How have you got round the problem of Huawei not releasing the code? Or have they released it recently?

Thanks for the reply VP. Well to be honest any improvements would be welcome. As I have the 16gb version and the current OS takes up 2/3rds of that space, which is insane. If its even partially debloated I will use what ever modified rom he throws my way. Fairly nice phone so will be keeping it and hoping for more custom roms to be released in the future if Huawei ever pulls there thumb out regarding there policies of sharing that is!
John
Debloating is easy if you have root, it's the optimisation that is a bit tricky. I've tried to use Kernel Aduitor to try and optimise it from there, but unfortunately I haven't found the best possible combination of settings yet.
How I wish we had RR, PA or Lineage ROMs, but I don't think that all the sources will be released.
In the meantime, Root and Viper4Android are there to satisfy me, though I hope we'll have Xposed for Nougat and a custom kernel in lieu of Custom ROMs..
Just out of curiosity, are any custom ROM's being developed for the V40?
Finally got root for the Sprint. Of course OEM rom, and some features can't be changed on OEM without a custom ROM.
Nope. Lack of easy unlocking, rooting plus no proper twrp.

Is it possible at this point to load a stock OS on this phone without Gapps installed?
Will I have to wait for an instance of TWRP to be developed for this phone to achieve that?

If you're only after AOSP then you should look for other phone. It doesn't look like we will get even debloated Samsung stock rom any time soon.
