Hey guys,
Just wondering why the Sprint LG G2 community is so small?
I Don't want to get the phone only to have devs stop working on it.
But damn, the specs are pretty impressive!
Don't want it don't get it

I want to get the phone, but am afraid development will stop
No it won't LG G2 its the first one with Spark I think people will buy it more not less ? Plus they don't know what to get out of this beast of a phone.....

But for it being out for 5 months, I would expect a lot more supporters. Whatever, I'm gonna get this sucker!!
You can make it look how ever you want bro I'm telling you but g2 exposed for status and you will thank me old dee plus you can really change anything....

Just look how the navigation bar changes color and the status bar too. With g2 exposed from the android market which will cost you one dollar something

have you checked all the threads? why do you think it's small? we got all the major roms bro
Sent from my LG-D802
It seems to be a trend I've noticed with the Moto X and now this phone. The devices and OS are getting so good, that very little is needed to "fix" them. I used to be a major flashaholic. I helped develop the method to convert an HTC One to GPE, I haven't run a custom ROM on a device for several months now. Stock Rooted with Xposed is all I need anymore.
Buy the phone for what it can do out of the box, not for what it MAY do in the future.
My 2 cents.
Once a flash whore always a flash whore. hehe Stock is great with the G2 but I just get bored of it rather quickly. I bounce around to whatever Rom is updated. As of now I like dr87's Roms because the echo is gone with the 801 builds. Some Flex Roms are nice too. Just make sure you back up your EFS. I'm thinking about trying the G Flex phone but not sure I want to do that because the G2 development is good. If the G Flex is to big then I would just wait for the S5 or G3 but if ya need a phone now the G2 is great. Might be able to get a discount for Valentine's day.

I took a loot at the Sprint section and the android develpment section was 2 pages long...
I plan on using this sucker for 2 whole years, I think I will wait until valentine's day like how sweets55 suggested.
Not really a flash-a-holic anymore. Just want to get rid of bloatware and add wifi tethering.
All signs point to yes on getting this phone

Look at the regular Android Development section or the Original Android Development section. They both have multi-variant support for tons of stuff including ROMs and general fixes/apps.
simple said it is NOT about third party soft .. it is about amount of end users .. yeah not many people in the world purchased G2 EVEN it is fastest android from all .. CURRENTLY .. it is just because it is not labeled samsung as more people know what that is .. plenty plenty people HAS NO IDEA what LG is ... they know what apple is and samsung .. even HTC or sony is more known .. that is the issue and u been leaded to here for answer for this question .. THAT is the WHY devs. focus more on samsung htc ,sony lg been crap in past .. LG became good in smartphones only in begining of 2013 .. that is just year only ..

OK, lately I seem to get surrounded by iphone that seemed interested to my Nexus. I tried to explain what flashing custom ROMs. But they have absolutely no idea.
Just wondering what best to describe this to them. Perhaps drawing some parallels? I don't know. They just give me this funny look.
Easy. Explain that android is an operating system just like iOS and you are simply installing different versions of the android operating system.
Sent from my Nexus S
You can also say that Android is an open source operating system, and everyone can easily modify and tweak it, and as an user you have the ability to choose what you prefer and install it with few easy steps.
Yup
Android is Open source so building/flashing roms lets you have it your way
For the users preferences
Apple doesnt let you build off their sources. You gotta have it their way for the iphone user.
..oh wait you Can change your wallpaper with the iphone
Also you can "jailbreak" the iphone
Notice they call it Jailbreak .. ha

I would just tell them, "Oh, it's like installing Windows XP or 7, Vista, etc. Whichever I choose, on my phone."
If they're more Apple ish, replace Windows with "installing OS X, Leopard, Mountain Lion, etc"
"Anyone can modify Android as they like, so I have one of versions some guy made"
Just look at them smile and say.. oh you ain't up on that.. then walk away ..

The ability to do stuff you can't with your phone. Like uninstall crap on it, which would leave your phone as an expensive paperweight. Or the best way to avoid "fragmentation." Jk!
You can say something like having complete control of your phone from the ringtones and wallpapers to controlling the amount of power your phone uses etc etc. I always say something along those lines.

Just say,like was stated before, are you familiar with different Linux distributions? If yes: yeah its just like that but for your phone. If no: well that's usually where it starts, I could explain but I don't think you'll understand. That's it, you won't gain anything by explaining it to them. They'll just think your in love with a PHONE.

Ask them three question before starting any declaration:
-do you understand the meaning of OPEN?
-do you understand the meaning of OPEN SOURCE?
-do you understand the meaning of
OPEN SOURCE OS?
90% cases there will be nothing else to say.

All you would need is to draw a pic of a apple in jail and have a Android eating a apple on the outside of it :good:
You can just show them hour CWM app.. and say "oh you don't have an app for that ?" Then watch them go crazy looking through their app store for an app that does the same thing but better..
Don't waste ur time on idiots, but if u meet someone sincerely interested, then explain them using ur nexus (missed notification light, volume rocker wake etc) none of it couldn't be possible for our nexus without custom roms...
I'll just advice you to stay away on that topic. Its not Idiotic if someone loves one brand and others don't, so stay away on those post, its impolite. Also I've read other post explaining ticky tacky stuffs, what they told are just mere features not the whole meaning on to it. The correct explanation maybe is the ones who told you about installing Windows XP, 7 or 8 those are the closer ones, its like Eclair, GB, ICS and JB (not comparing them huh, just the closest thing there is).
If they are that interested maybe to purchase one Android Phone why not help them go through this changes but if the conversation go to flaming that is the sign for you to exit because no one wins anyway.
Personally I hate when they call my Nexus S an iPhone. I just kept telling what brand and model it really is, if they ask why not iPhone I just tell that its not really my style and 95% of the time they all nod no questions asked. I look at my phone anyway and it really looked like iPhone without the circle button. Anyway I got a White Nexus S with White Mercury Jelly Case, now you imagine that.
i had to explain that to a friend who uses an iphone.
i told him how great that is and that there are so many cool roms availabe. two weeks later he bought an htc hd2 and is happy

It was haha, but if you knew some of the people around me, you probably would be waisting your time explaining. I try to find an easy understandable way, but no luck. It would also be great If I knew anything past flashing roms and kernels, there's not much I can do either

XDA has little or no development for that phone. You may want to post on Android General or Unlocking/Moding fora
As for who here has it...me thinks no one. I just asked ElGoog about to root your phone and came up with a handful of links.
Cheers,
I am also interested. I've successfully rooted my MS 870 but its wierd that there isn't even a forum thread for that model.
I've looked around aplenty is there some sort of secret boycott going on here?
Don't get me wrong I'd probably throw it back at ghettro if XDA developer told me to.

Hey guys, I don't have this phone, sister does. Her bf rooted it, and it now either takes a REALLY long time to read and prepare the SD card or just doesn't at all. 16GB Trascend MicroSD card, anywho, I put in my S3, reads it fine, and her bf put it in his phone, also picks up and reads fine. Formatted the card through Windows, Clockwork, and even check disk on windows with still no luck. Phone is brand new and shes just one to get frustrated easily when things aren't understood. Someone out there to shed some light on this subject? Thanks.

Well I have changed to this phone from a Note 3 and I like the phone but the firmware is bolted with crappy built in apps and draining power and memory. My main goal is to flush to a custom firmware which hopefully would improve the phone.

Coming from a Z1 the feel of the phone alone is so much better and looks the dogs nuts in the window case.

Looks like LG is busy building 4.4 out.
I am searching for a beta that I can download and convert for ROM for us to use...
Thanks to Chippah for Droid-Life news post for pointing out article.
If anyone can read Chinese or figure out how to download the KDZ please let me know
We've known about this for a while now. The site is a pay site. The Rom is Korean. I'm not sure if it was helpful or not. I remember reading somewhere that it wasn't helpful for porting to other devices. Especially since this is a few weeks old and I haven't heard any more movement on it or any breakthroughs in KitKat porting.

I am sure it can be ported since release Korean ROMs were ported to to other G2 models without any major issues.

Sharing is caring...Isn't that the whole point of XDA...
If he was so worried about losing his job than maybe he should have not sent it out
If you want to keep it to yourself for whatever reasons that is fine.
I was just looking for a few files too see if the compass issue on the 4.4 builds could be fixed...
Can you at least post the lib, etc and vendor folders?

Pretty sure that'd not what the person who gave it to us looses his job because we sent it out thinks. If someone trusts us why break that? And no XDA does have a limit about sharing cause I'm using a ROM I haven't even shared.

We are indeed working on a stock 4.4 build. We are running into issues getting it to boot. We've enlisted a few other devs to lend us a hand.
So why not post it up so more devs can try to fix it up? If you guys are going to post it anyway why not have others try too?

People tend to forget there are a lot more people with knowledge about developing and fixing roms. But most of them have a job and can't update a rom like Starlighter. There is simply no time for that. But they can help out fixing a KDZ base (Korean/verizon).
When it's available for everyone with knowledge it will be booting a lot faster.
