Hi everybody,
I would like to introduce a topic in which everybody posts links to official location-specific firmware that can be flashed (with TWRP etc). It will also be nice if the poster shares their experience with the given firmware version: bugs, improvements over previous updates etc. There was a similar topic but it is closed, and most of the links in it are not working. I think this will be very useful to a large number of users as many countries do not get updates for their phone. Any feedback would also be appreciated.

I am looking for a Rom based on the 4.4.2 Kitkat stock ROM from Samsung and keeping TouchWiz but getting rid of all the bloatware/useless crap I don't want/need.
There was one here linked on the forum, based on 4.2.2 but it no longer supports S4 for the later versions.
Does anybody else have any good recomendations?
Obviously, needs to support i337.
Thanks!
XDA is a development site not a support site, members are expected to do their own research, read through the development threads, and decide what is BEST for them.
Please take the time to read through those development threads, learn all about the software there is for use, and interact with members in those threads as you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device.
Hello guys,
at first I want to say that I am really happy to be a member of this community, where so many users from different countries with different devices come together
and conducting experience exchange. This community is really important for every G3 user, especially to be updated on latest software or to solve problems.
But what really drives me nuts is the ongoing asking about how to root Lollipop in every possible thread.
The answers are mostly the same, what makes this question (let it be a post or a thread) almost useless.
Not only that it annoys me if I am continuously reading the same things, it also makes the whole forum confusing and relevant informations may go missing.
Why we cant create a seperate thread for rooting Lollipop whereto all this issue regarding threads will get removed?
And let us be honest: If you are not able to collect knowledge about rooting from the already existing threads, you shouldnt do it anyway.
Sorry but that had to be said
Just my 2 cents!

Wrong section for your REBUKE. We have Mods who determine whats right or wrong to post and they delete or move threads accordingly.
This rant is a waste of time and space. IMO should be in the Q & A Section but thats for the moderators to decide.
The next big thing will be to ROOT the G3 in its Lollipop/ART state which is why you see this question asked everywhere.
whoever comes up with a way to do this is worthy of praise.
I think the hardest thing to do is 1) Tell everyone at once that it doesn't exist yet, and 2) Tell everyone once it's achieved!
Sticky's do not work, in this day and age where information is so readily and quickly available, most people will not read pages of Q&A, no point discussing it it just will not happen.
Would be nice if once root on stock is done, that a message could be sent to anyone who's posted keywords 'root' + 'stock' under the LG G3 forums. Maybe that's an app in itself. IFFFT + Pushbullet etc etc
I second that my man. RoOT me stock G3 xda
we want to do something about the root Lollipop, please let

Hi Friend,
Please try this thread that I just created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
...it's tested to be working fine for my LG G3 variant (D858HK). The steps are from this original thread; I just added an extra manual step (and my thread looks long because I tried to detail the step, with pictures).
Mods, if this violates any rules, let me know. Thanks.
I would like to present to you my first ROM ever! It's built almost from stock AOSP, with maybe 1 or 2 changes.
Build Number: LMY47I
Android Version: 5.1.0_r3
Last Build Date: 03/31/15
Info
This ROM is practically a stock ROM. I did not modify anything major. ROM uses 5.0.2 blobs.
Bugs
Camera has flashing inside it. Installing Google Camera will NOT help.
Flashing Instructions
1. Flash ROM
2. Flash GAPPS
3. Flash SuperSU or your favorite Superuser app
Downloads
https:// drive.google.com /file/d/0BzKnVWnfS942aVB4ZEhUUUpSRG8/view?usp=sharing
(Sorry, new user, so I can't post URLs).
Future Plans
Integrate SuperSU into the ROM
Start adding more features
Other Stuff
This is my first ROM, so any advice and criticism is welcome. Also, it would be awesome if an experienced ROM developer could offer some advice on adding features to ROMs.
PM me with any bugs, and I will see what I can do.

Not really sure if it counts as an original, since all I did was compile and tweak some stuff.
Only senior members can create a new thread in the Development forums.
Correction: you may also need sufficient post count/status. Also, you can still send a message to the mods requesting them to move your thread to a development forum even if that is the case.
Since previous development thread was closed, I've been getting a lot of pms. Everyone thanks for the kind words and for offering me help. Thumbs up for this great community.
The reason I didn't post the link was because my laptop or my upload server let me down. At least that is what I saw when I woke up.
No big deal, thought I would upload it upcoming weekend. But as we all might know, today oos 2.2.1 was released. My custom oos was based on 2.2.x, so I was thinking to rebuild this rom again based on the latest software. Meaning it will take a couple of weeks before it will be ready.
So far this briefing. If you have questions regarding this rom, for now please ask in this thread.
Link to original thread:
COSX
To the features, just add the viper4android... And try to make the files app show the root directory too.
I feel you should post ur 2.2.1 build directly when its ready..take your time and i do support what u stand for!! and if possible add network speed indicator
Since there was no answer to this on the original thread, what do you mean by theme support? Layers?
I'll be patiently waiting for your release
But, for playing purpose, are there any guide somewhere to create a moded rom from a stock rom ?
I've been looking but all i could find was from 2012
I don't think it's as simple a remove/add apks from the rom zip :cyclops:
Request
Please donot remove the stock oos camera which has manual focus iso exposure .... __/\__ please
Does anyone know why the TWRP flashable Oreo thread was closed by the moderator?
Maybe the mod is pissed it's not available for his region, because there is a link to a download and doesn't appear to be a placeholder thread....unless requested by the maintainer.
I think he is crazy or pissed don't know but the link provided is working fine on other regions too.
The shared beta build is working great here, even the camera over processing seems to have been fixed.
Guys, I'm sorting it out with the mod. Part of the problem is that I saved it first when I didn't have all the links in there, so they may not have seen all the updates. Regardless, there are a couple of things I need to update to be 'compliant', so please bear with me
