Rom closest to vanilla Android like nexus 5? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there I'm running rooted stock 4.2.2 and want a rom that is closest to the look and feel of a nexus 5 but still has features such as LG remote and KnockOn while also have the always listening 'okay Google' feature of the nexus 5/Moto X. What are my options? Help would be much appreciated!

Paranoid Android 4.0 is probably about the closest you'll get to KitKat. It doesn't appear to have the always listening feature, but it's a great ROM. I think it's the closest thing you can get to a stock Nexus 5 without actually buying the N5.

CM11 is the correct answer. PA has a bunch of add-ons, as does Mahdi.

Any ideas on why I am having issues with LG G2 d800 rooted and unlocked using TWRP to flash some ROMS? I can flash...
CleanROM-SE-2.0
CyanogenMod 10.2
CyanogenMod 10.2.0-RC1-d800
with no problems, but when I try just about any other ROM, I get a red "failed" almost immediately after starting the flash.
Thank You!

Not true, Houstons PA builds have less customisation than CM11, yes in the future PA will have more than cyanogen (as it has before) but at the minute, PA is nearly stock, apart from helpful kernel tweaks.

Ok what version of TWRP do you have installed. TWRP 2.6.3.2 has problems Fashing 4.4 ROMs and will say failure I know because the same thing happens to me. But if you upgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.3 you should be able to flash 4.4 ROMs no problem.

Awesome, I'll give that a shot.
Thx

Thanks for the replies both PA and CM look great, I have no problems with either of them, the thing is I still want
some of the stock LG features like KnockOn (And Off) and QuickRemote as well as compatibility with the LG cover for the phone.
Is it possible to have all of this in a rom?

What kind of mods you guys installed?

So I I finally received my RMA phone. I rooted it and unlock. Im gonna keep it on stock rom but was wondering what kind of other mods you guys installed like camera or kernel?
If you decide to flash a kernel, I would try Matr1x. I've heard good things about it.

You need to unlock your boot loader at least to run custom kernels. You can update to ota ROMs as long as you have stock recovery.

works with stock ROM. Once you have a custom recovery you won't be able to receive OTA. However since stock ROMs are usually posted on XDA before I actually receive it I don't see a problem with it.
franco kernel for battery life. circle battery because I like seeing it. eventually i'll probably flash the noozy? audio mod. trying to avoid flashing a custom rom this time around, just because.

[Q] Help with Buckeye V2 Rom

Hey guys I'm new here with my LG G2 (D801 T-Mobile) and was trying to flash the Buckeye V2 rom onto my phone. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.2 to install the rom. Yes I've rooted it and installed the recovery, backed up the stock root, and wiped before installation. For some reason after I install and system reboot, the phone starts with LG software still (albeit there's a google launch screen after an initial "LG" shows up). The build number in my system settings read Buckeye V2, but obviously I'm not running Kit Kat like I'm supposed to be (android version still 4.2.2). Anyone know how to fix this or am I doing something wrong still?
Bump
I may be wrong here since the description is not very clear but the ROM is a kitkat themed stock Rom but not an actual android 4.4 Rom.

I totally just got what you said and I'm facepalming myself. It's a themed rom to look like 4.4 but not an actual rom for 4.4? Got it. Even if that were the case, something went wrong since the interface is exactly the same as before I flashed it on there..
It has 4.4 apps and boot animation from kitkat..... the rest is a 4.2 rom

[Q] LG G2, will it work with Google Wallet Tap&Pay?

Hello All,
Question:
Will the LG G2 (on Sprint in the USA) function with the Google Wallet Tap&Pay system?
Looking for positive confirmation one way or the other to that question, no theory.
Thank you.
When KitKat comes out, yes. Right now, no.

Thanks SmiLey497,
And when is the word that KitKat will be available? And is KitKat an OS that all G2 users, (regardless of carrier) will be able to upgrade to?
With my G2, I'm currently running 4.2.2, (software ver. LS980ZV8)
Thanks for your help

It's also confirmed that you can use it in custom KitKat roms. I'm currently running the Mahdi 4.4.2 rom and have used it at gas stations.

Hi Drift240,
And how does one get a custom KitKat rom?
It's nice you can use the Tap&Pay system with your G2.
I would have thought that LG would have thought about this when developing the G2. Nothing worse than having the latest and greatest device that doesn't function with a several year old technology like Tap&Pay.
Thanks Drift240

Auto-rotate issue with Kitkat ROMs.

What's going everyone? I'm having this auto-rotate bug on every Kitkat ROM other than LG Stock KK and I was told that it is the modem but I have no idea where to find a Stock KK modem for when I want to switch back to LG Stock KK. I have a T-Mobile LG G2 and I know where to find the older modem to fix auto-rotate but can't find LG KK modem for T-Mobile.. Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome! You just saved me a couple ROM installs! It also fixed Google Camera app. I guess orientation device didn't work.
