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..

Looks like Samsung is getting ready to update the beast as soon as Google unveils Android L to public and has started internal testing. Do watch the video preview and visit source for more info. Sorry for no download links as its very buggy and unstable currently
Well, IMHO, I can't see a big difference, but thats because of TW
I like the animations, wonder why the statusbar isn't changing color like the action bar (probably a bug)
More excited for the roms to come.
Touchwiz just ruins it for me.
Rom leak? Or only video

Just a video. Very buggy and laggy atm.
I've never had strong feelings about TW one way or the other, but that may be because I just picked up my first Samsung phone a few months ago. I'm really looking forward to seeing the changes in L.

They probably will..... 8 months from now....but I'll be right there with you bro in the nexus 6 forums I just can't wait that long if I already waited so long for aosp on this phone, I just gotta see the phone in person, I never really liked the note series due to its massive size, but if It feels comfortable in the hand I will definitely make the jump, if not nexus 5... S5 had so much potential to be a better phone but with all these damn bugs (battery drainage on idle, audio issues when recording a video, choppy video for 1080p, whatsapp mic still sounds too low)...and Samsung not releasing the right source codes this phone was a disaster... Nothing compared to the s4 forums... *sigh's*

I'm just bothered that all this waiting is always for nothing, and we paid a valued amount for a great spec'd phone but we can't get the best out of it, for f$!# sake is processor (801) is newer than the nexus 5 (800 chip) but the N5 is faster. ..WTF!!! so the reason they feed us this crap is because we are OK with it, so Samsung just keeps screwing us in the a$$ cold, how we pay more for a phone that isn't better than a nexus, and it could of all been better without that TW S!#/ they put in there.... but... we're OK with it... right? Because it's just a phone... right?
That's not the case with nexus phones because they rooooock!!!!! Plus it's made by a younger generation (google)
i find the s5 on touchwiz fine. some apps i personally dont like the look of so i replace with stock kitkat ones. but i dont have any slowdown
I don't like TW eighter, but to sell my phone for it ? Don't think so....
I just installed Go Launcher Ex (my favorite launcher for years already) and remove all the bloatware with Titanium Backup which I don't need or want.
Result : clean rom to my likings

So why did you buy an S5 if you knew you hated TouchWiz and the "lag" (I don't even have any lag on my S5, and my last phone was a Nexus).
Do you people buy Samsung phones just to complain about them? Buy a different brand, it's really not so hard.

protip: Open S voice, go to settings, disable home activation, disable S voice. Congratulations. You have the smoothness of an AOSP ROM without the stupid bugs.
Ohmigosh, the passion...
Got a Note 3 with close to stock ROM. Modding it made it feel and look really not like TouchWiz. No lag, no s**t.
Imagine the Google Launcher when it gets L updated.
Imagine what Wanam's wonders are going to look like after he gets hold on L TouchWiz.
Also, reports claim that even the dev preview of L gets better battery life on the Nexus 5, so AOSP is going to be even better.
Calm your whatevers-that-make-you-mad and be happy that you have first world problems.

cause his personal tastes should be universal standard. didnt you know?
I'm looking into getting the nexus 6 and was just trolling through the nex6 forums taking a look at developement..... And geeezzzz what happened to the names of ROMs like we had in the good ole days. I.e. OPEN KANG, CM-__, PACMAN, AOSP, NEXUQUE, PARANOID ANDROID, MIUI. You know the names we all were used to seeing. Now it seems like the names are all spoken in code or something. Check out the screen shot. Hard to tell what you're getting unless you go exploring each ROM post and check out the mods and screenshots.
You're right.
We GFlex users that haven't flashed any roms in a while when you get another phone you get scared from all these new roms with weird names. You gotta check every post to see if its based on stock/aosp/cm/pac or if its just a debloated rom. Info is just not as it used to be.

Yep the days of bootstrap recoveries and safestrap are gone. I fear that fastboot will soon fall by the way side too, with all these devices comimg with download mode and flashing with lg tools and Odin. Im going back to Motorola to get a taste of the good ole fastboot flash system ".......". My nexus 7 (2013) is so simple with multi-rom that I rarely need to open up the cmd prompt and " adb " anything.
Wait!!!
Are we giving up on this incredible phone?
I can't speak for anyone else but I've been eligible for an upgrade for over a year now, and have been sticking around 1. Cuz I do like the phone / durability. And 2. To help out and hopefully see a CM or AOSP ROM working on this device. But I gotta see what all the hype is about with these new snapdragon 64 bit processors and 4 gigs or ram is all about. I'm really trying to be patient and wait on the new nexus 6.2 as I heard it called. Not sure if that's the official name. Its all still rumors I believe. But its supposedly the next version of nexus 6 but 64 bit. To keep up with Samsung and lg's release of 64 bit devices.

I heard there will be a revamp of the Nexus 5 device...
Supossedly LG and Huawei were in dispute to seek for who wins the making of the ¨second gen Nexus 5¨
This would be awesome, though I love my GFlex cuz of battery life and durability too, my G3 just died on me last week :crying: :crying: havent revived it so, Im back with the Flex, hope to see a CM or AOSP build sooner than later.
Good luck with the Motorolas, I´ve had nothing more than great experience with motorola smartphones, owned Atrix 1, 2 and HD, Droid XT912 and Droid HD, awesome phones all of them!
OK maybe its the nexus 5 revamp and not nexus 6. I could have been wrong. Either way , pure aosp on a nexus device sure would be nice. I rarely get to play around with my nexus 7 (2013) since its been integrated into my dash and used as my head unit now. It comes out once a month or so just to flash an update or new ROM to keep things running smooth.
Now, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not asking or demanding for ROMs or what have you. More like where are the developers. Are people not digging this phone and refusing to move over to it? Or is this thing off to a really slow start?
Again, I'm not asking for ETA, ROMs, mods, anything of that sort. Just wondering what the state of the g920t is in the developer realm.
If there is anything I would LOVE an ETA for or any information on for that matter is Cyanogenmod 12 lol I'm a CM head. Ran it exclusively on my S4 so I feel very out of place being stuck on Touchwiz. Although I must admit it's grown on me and is worlds better than past versions.

The development on the aosp side of things has been really quiet, probably because they don't want to get peoples' hopes up. If you bought this device expecting to get cm12, it might not be a realistic expectation

Completely understandable. And yea I did buy this phone expecting CM12. I've owned every Galaxy S phone except the 3 and 5 and had CM on every one of them. What I didn't know was the dislike for Exynos that exists among developers.
Hopefully this will change but you know what, Touchwiz is good enough to hold me over If nothing happens by the time jump comes back around I'll most likely drop this phone and jump over to the HTC One. Yes I love AOSP that much lol If it weren't for the Nexus 6 being so damn huge i'd be on that right now.

It's because exynos isn't open source, which gives the developers nothing to go on so they have to reverse engineer everything. It's not about hate, it's about documentation

If you were surprised about the lack of Exynos dev support, then you obviously did not do your homework before buying. Yes, there have been prior Exynos devices that (eventually) got CM, but it took many months of hard work and reverse engineering. You should never EVER buy a Samsung device with the expectation of having CM on it later (especially if it has Exynos). Die hard CM fans should stick with Nexus because those devices will always be the first to get CM. If you can't stand Touchwiz or any of the TW-based custom roms that are available, then you might as well sell your S6 now while you can get the most money for it.
The new Nexus coming out in November looks promising. Suppose to come in 2 sizes by 2 different makesr, one size I'm interested in is the smaller 5.4" model. I'll keep this S6 till then and Jump when the Nexus 5 2015 is available.

Being a CM fan too, i think this device has a lot of potential with touchwiz based rom. Many contributors are working hard to bring fixes where samsung failed to deliver!

Yes I made this clear above. I've never owned an Exynos device, so I made the leap assuming it would have CM support just like every other Galaxy S I've owned. Also I am a die hard AOSP fan but I've always preferred Galaxy S features like SAMOLED and external SD so I've always gotten a GS and called it a day. As I said earlier, the Nexus 6 is just too large so that's out of the question.

I can understand your hesitation after the G2x but LG has come a long way. They still have a horrid UI but that's why we have custom ROMs. They still have snapdragon, as well. Not to mention some amazing hardware. Right up there with any other manufacturer (yes even considering their plastic back version...who doesn't use a case anyway) That all being said...I'm still getting the next Nexus lol LG and Sammy have some incredible features that aren't available in CM but stock Android is just too smooth

The only change is LG released unlock bootloader tool for int'l non-carrier versions only.
So given that, i think we are on the best option (and i'm saying that coming from a Note 4)
I think there are Fans who just like CM or AOSP because of the look and feel aspect of stock. I can understand, but as stated in a number of statements here, there are some awesome aspects and hardware features with stock TW that will indeed be lost CM or AOSP - Big example are camara features to name one.
Now if you follow the theme section you will see there is a way to get stock material look - now mix it with Nova launcher you are GOLDEN..it will hold me over...
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.

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.
