Question before buying, CM , Kernel. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm deciding what to buy , LG G2 32 GB or Nexus 5 16 GB.
Nexus is more expensive, but it has very stable Custom ROMS, and many kernels for STOCK or CAF ROMs.
My question are:
- Is CM stable and bugfree on G2 ? Does it have the same battery life as stock ? First thing I would do would be flashing any AOSP based ROM, can't stand LG bull**** ( happy optimus 4x HD user )
-What kernels are compatible with CM, is there division between stock and CM kernels ?
-Is Dorimanx kernel CM compatible ( it seems like the best kernel here ) ?
-Does the permament screen damage still happens ? ?
thanks a lot !

- Is CM stable and bugfree on G2 ?
Somewhat. A few random reboots here and there is to be expected.
Does it have the same battery life as stock ?
No. It's worse.
First thing I would do would be flashing any AOSP based ROM, can't stand LG bull**** ( happy optimus 4x HD user )
Stock based roms are much better than AOSP.
-What kernels are compatible with CM, is there division between stock and CM kernels ?
AOSP kernels for AOSP ROMS and Stock based kernels for stock based ROMS. Render kernel is compatible, have a look around in the original android development section.
-Is Dorimanx kernel CM compatible ( it seems like the best kernel here ) ?
Dorimanx kernel is only for stock roms, although there has been somebody who has made it work with AOSP. It's pretty outdated now, I think.
In short, stick with a Nexus 5 if you want AOSP. And horrible battery life.

AOSP is a must for me... This LG stuff is so ugly... I would not be able to use this phone with stock ROM. Anyone here can say something about running AOSP ROMs ? How is your experience ?

Stock VS CM12.1 based

Hello,
I haven't tried CM12.1 or other slim/resurection/ Dirty Unicorns roms because I would really miss stock apps from stock based roms.
So this is my question:
If I do love good picture quality and quickremote apk (and reliable bluetooth), can I still have them on non stock roms ? I would love to have a less battery eater rom but I am afraid of loosing these functionnalities.
Thanks all for your time

Tried some roms mate but believe me I'm still on 4.4.2 cloudystock, cloudy flex roms
That's due to :
Cyanogen won't support xdadebbs driver for camera
Battery life is still good on 5.1.1 but I think they having all those lg stock features and same or 1/2 hours more on cyanogen worths it
5.0.2 stock based updates made me furious due to many hangs and less battery life.
4.4.2 FTW
I have been using Inazuma and it's been great on my 802.

Is there any rom that has everything working (nfc, wifi etc)

So is there any rom (I think stock based would be my best bet) that has no important bugs? Or should I just flash a custom kernel on a stock firmware?
No there is no such perfect custom rom due to some technical limitations.
Try stable ROMS, there is more probability you find everything working there. I suggest you Resurrection Remix for personalization and CM 12.1 for stability. Btw is your choice, choose the one suits you best.

as you said the stock based is your best bet but for me i use s5 mini rom it has everything working exept NFC because s5 mini does not have that feature
This rom has probably less bugs than the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102
Best is cm11 with sev3n kernel. 6h of screen good camera(cm12 is a joke), radio and everything. No bugs no lags and finally a decent phone. If you want lollipop flavour install cm11 ideal theme from store. It looks the same. After trying almost everything it,s my choice.

Offline chaning work? Battery idle 7 day work? Thank you.
(SORRY BAD MY ENGLISH 50%)
Yes offline charging works and in cm12 also works. Only cm12.1 has that bug. Try kang cm 12.1 after flashing perharps 10 roms is now my favourite . Well i miss cm11 Camera but you can't have everything, i'm a little tired of KitKat and since yesterday we hace a good lollipop ROM with a good tweaked kernel and almost free of bugs.
I am using stock firmware 4.4.2 with xposed and some modifications. It is good and now i am going to try any custom kernel. For me, custom roms are useless especially those CM based.

Pure Android experience for LG G2

Hello! I've been using Cloudy ROM for a long time but now I feel lack of RAM on my G2 Int. That's why I search for the ROM as close to pure Android as possible. Please, advice me some. Thanks!
P.S. I record a lot of video so tell me what to install in addition to this ROM in order to capture nice photos and videos. Thanks a lot.
Resurrection Remix
Give a try to Resurrection Remix rom, one of the best I've been testing.
Any LG ROM is better than any AOSP/CM ROM for G2. Fact. Stay on LG ROMs.

Both roms have pros and cons.
On AOSP (MM) multitasking is much better.
On LG Stock camera and battery is better.

You can try exodus and cm13 or blisspop.
I have benchmarked on exodus rom , clean install, via antutu benchmark and i get low score than my currently installed lollipop stock with bunch of apps and stuff.
Anyway , for me , if you dont want lots of customization and stuff, or not looking to get a marshmallow on your device, then flash stock lollipop, root, install twrp, install dorimanx kernel, greenify with exposed, and enjoy highest possible battery life.
go for the rom called Google edition 1.5. Flash Dorimanx. Be happy.
I use Dirty Unicorns with Lambda Dominó kernel and right now i have the most high batt/speed i ever had on my G2...
I'd say:
- for lightweight stock experience take somboon's stripped-down rom
- for a modern UX rom, take Ice-x rom. Take this one if You want to focus on photos and videos.
- for an up-to-date original android experience take Dirty Unicrons and Exodus roms. Both are AOSP base, both offer stability and lots of features.
These roms don't offer milions of customisations, but provide a great experience with excelent batterty life. At least for my D802.
I used all of them them as car navigation and did a lot of document photographing for my work.
All 4 are good daily drivers and never failed me.
It is up to You to tune the roms to Your needs. I have found out that both Dirty Unicrons and Exodus don't really need a custom kernel.
However Dorimanx's kernel is highly recommended for stock-based roms.
So I recomend You Ice-X with Dorimanx's kernel, but I don't know which version will work best for You.
I add that the AOSP MM roms are heated much more than the stock. Stock 25ºC-36ºC and 32ºC-44ºC AOSP...
With the lambda kernel and underclocking they improve a bit, but still warming up the phone rather than the stock, especially when using some app like the camera, gps,...
- For AOSP MM and great customization, Resurrection Remix rom [6.0.1_r46][UBER-GCC 4.9][CM13], great rom, + kernel lambda stable, improve overheating.
- For stock rom for my the best is ROM 5.0.2. stock based SRKG2-4-10 (Fast,Stable,Yummy) [3 In 1 ROM with Thai Food Names]

Best custom rom + kernel currently?

Thinking about switching from cloudy 3.3 to a custom rom.
Is the cm13 the best now or is there something similar or better?
Also, what kernel should i be using if i decide to switch?
You can try CM13 based Roms as well.
I'm on MIUI8 Rom right now which looks really nice! And it has some useful tools you can only find on MIUI Roms. But...it has got a few bugs which developer is always trying to fix them but well...they might be annoying for some people!
You can also try some CM13 builds which are bug-free and smoother but...it's pure Android so no special tool. It's up to you
But I'm pretty sure that Lambda kernel is the best kernel to use on CM/AOSP based Roms. You may want to give it a try.

100% bugfree stock alternative

Hi @ all.
Is there a custom rom that ist 100% bugfree for the d802?
No stock, I mean cm or aosp.
I ve tested some cm 13 and 14 roms but in everyone I had problems with some apps or something.
At the moment I use a stock rom with dori kernel but my batterie is empty after a day.
What rom do you use with good batterie drain and 100% working?
Greetings
Nope

CrDroid 7.1.1 is very good in my opinion. Very good performance, nice UI and all that stuff.
Negative thing: A bit low sound but that can be changed in mixer.path file.
If you want a bug free rom choose some older roms like cm12.1 which got many updates. Or you look for Cloudy roms.
No rom is absoloutly bug free, but you can choose the best of it.
AOSP Extended is good too.

Here are all the roms, take the rom which you like.
