So my Dad decided he doesn't like his G3 - I know, he's crazy. So we have decided to swap phones. I had a Nexus 5 which I loved. I'm looking to get the G3 as close to stock lollipop as I possibly can as my Fun Prevention Officer (wife) has the Gold G3 and I'm less than impressed with the standard ROM.
I've had a look through the threads here searching about for a stock ROM and it seems there are plenty available but I wanted to get some opinions on what you guys think is the most stable.
I'm well up on ADB, rooting etc so I don't need help with the method, just your opinions on the 'best' , most stable closest to stock Lollipop ROM.
Cheers dudes and dudesses.

Hello, I'm new on the formus but I have tried several stock rom versions for my variant (D855). I think that Cloudy G 2.1 is one of the best lollipop stock rom version you can try. It is updated to the latest (20F) version, it's debloated and bumped and it is pretty stable (the only bug I know is the bluetooth issues present in all stock versions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-cloudyg3-1-0-t2917467
Finally keep in mind that we have a Official CM 12 build in the Android Original development section that works flawless in case you like (much more like AOSP).

Thanks straim. I'm looking for something closer to the Nexus 5 really. I saw the Official CM12 had been released but wasn't sure on the stability being a nightly.

If you want stock close to LG: Cloudy: stable
If you want stock close to "naked" android: CM12: I would not use it as a daily driver yet, but i'll sure do in a more stable state.
Thanks raptor. I guess stability would come above stock Android in my priorities list. I'll give Cloudy a whirl...

That's for sure, CM is fantastic but they need a bit of time to make it good. Cloudy is a good transition phase. Guess LG's rom is pretty good.
There are other Roms in the dev section, but I haven't really looked at them.

Yeah I had a glance through them.
Cloudy it is then. At least until CM gets an M release out....
Thanks again all.

The bug causes audio glitches and sometimes is necessary to unlink an link the device to avoid issues like battery drain. You can seek something like "Bluetooth|car audio issues" in general or q&a forums for more information.
Ps: I use cm 12 as daily driver.
What about for me that I use wireless headphones, will that affect me?

I recommend you stick with stock roms (Cloudy or ChupaChups), as the AOSP roms like CyanogenMod have dreadful camera software and quality. It's like you're back from LG G3 to a Nexus 4 camera, it's s**t! Sound volumes are also lower on AOSP, has something to do with drivers i think... But for the rest, cyanogenmod is stable, quick, light on the battery, and real pleasing to the eyes as it's one of the best looking roms on the market with themes support and all... But if you want to make the best out of your G3, use Cloudy G3 2.1. It's as fast and light on resources as cyanogenmod 12, as good looking if you flash the Lollipop theme (link on the first page of Cloudy thread), but you get to keep the amazing camera quality and sound volumes of the stock rom. After 2 months of flashing and testing roms on my G3, i can say, Cloudy has the winner here, hands down!

Thanks! What does ChupaChups have that cloudy doesn't?
Sent from my G3
So what's the latest on Cyanogenmod? Is it stable yet? I used it for a while a few months ago but would have random locks and have to do a battery pull.
I have Cloudy 2.2 at the moment but honestly, I'm not a fan. I really want CM12 but only if it's stable.
What's the verdict?
can't go past full stock ( regular updates with http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073 ), and G3 TweaksBox. works like a charm even though TweaksBox and the Xposed framework are both in alpha
Does someone compare the last versions of Cloudy and Chupa Chups ?
Hi guys, im Kia.. Maybe someone knows me from G2 forum or from YouTube, never mind I just sold my G2 and im thinking what phone should i buy now. Money is not problem, theres no money haha lol . I was looking for some phone that has great dev support and good camera screen etc.. ( i will use my next phone like 6 months, im waiting for some new phones to be realised but need one immediatly) So did u suggest my G3 or to buy something else, instead Note 4 (i dont like design of it).... Hows battery life? And is it overheating when u play games and things like that? I heard some comments on youtube about overheating but if theres some better kernel than stock ofc i will install it... So if u suggest me G3 expect one ROM Reviewer in this awesome community. Thanks for any help or reply and yeah check my channel if u want And yeah, is there bootloader in G3 that will not let me install ROMs till i unlock it or ? (I dont think so just asking to be sure ;D )

The g3, fells amazing even though its plastic. I used the phone from, 7 a clock in the morning to 4 at the night, and it only used 30% of battery life. This is with stock rom, no changes have been made. I fell it's a really solid phone, nice camera good screen, and fast! And we got offical cm12 now So just ask here or pm me, if you got any questions And the overheating thing was fixed with a update i belive. Atleast i don't have it. And all i had to do, for getting custom rom, was root the phone install twrp and the flash nothing else

Here`s my 2 cents:
1. Rooting the device is fairly simple imo. Downgrade to a KK rom, root it with PurpleDrake, flash a custom recovery and then you can flash a custom rom/kernel.
2. I`am not a big gamer but when i do i seldomly experience the thermal throttling issue. Maybe it kicks in during extensive gaming.
3. I think Cloudy 2.1 is the best stock based cutom rom atm which is very stable and fast.
4. Haven`t flashed custom kernels so far so can`t give you any personal xperience
Overall its a great device, i have the 32/3GB device whivh is the one to get imo. The camera is excellent in daytime/with sufficient light but in darker conditions pics can be a bit grainy.

Good luck and enjoy
cm 12 stable and camera better than stock ?
I loved oneplus one cm11s the customization of it? Does cm12 have all those features too? And is it on lollipop or kitkat base ? Too bad Xposed doesn't support lollipop yet....
In the price range you can't get much better than the G3. Good looking phone, full of potential.
Hey guys,
I wanna stay on stock Rom (without root) and I'm running now kitkat 4.4.4
Do I go for update or do I stay on kitkat? (Will performancmce be reduced and will battery llife be worst on 5.0.1?)

First of all, I would update. I'm enjoying Lolly myself. No performance problems, and batter life is as good or maybe better that Kit-Kat.
Second of all, What carrier/version are you running? If you have the OTA downloaded and not installed yet, it could be valuable to other users.
It's eu version. I heard that lot of users complain about lollipop battery drain...
that's why have I concerned

The problem with lollipop is that the kernel and system eat a lot of battery, or at least more than on kitkat. If battery life is your concern, I personally would not recommend going on lollipop till 5.1 hits and see if it's fixed
though how you use your phone will still make the biggest impact
That being said you can still get great battery. Usage for me never goes bellow 5 hours of screen time with games and 4g and around 7 hours without games and wifi. I could do better on kitkat but I'm satisfied. Check this thread for battery life. I enjoy lollipop though since I upgraded, but I can't wait for an update to 5.1 and better battery

I have had no problems with drain, whatsoever. I'm not stock though, but on the stock kernel.
Hi.
I'm here, cause i want to know which one is the "best" ROM for our LG G3.
Can you guys help me ? I want to put a new ROM on my phone but i don't know which one will be the best.
Thanks in advance.
bump.
bump.
EDIT*
If u check closely every rom has a problem, some is fast but drains battery, some have good battery life but bt or gps are not working.. Imo flash stock MM, root it, get xposed and enjoy, i have very good performance and bout 5.5 screen on time. Cheers
hello everyone,
i've replaced my G3 with a S7 Edge and i wanted to give my phone to my daughter who is more willing to have a stable and durable phone than a fast and short life mobile.
so my question is simple, over all the Android ROMS and versions (Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow & Nougat), which one is the best in term of stability & overall battery?
she does not need any rooting or special tweaks.
thanks for your recommendations

Hello,
I would recommend Marshmallow ROMs.
Something like Cyanogenmod 13,Stable,Fast,Easily disabled Root Access(it's disabled by stock).
No bugs and crashes at all. The battery with a lowered brightness(40%),can easily make a day (normal usage example wifi,data,location All ON messaging,(messenger)
And while playing games it can stay 3-4,5 hours and maybe more.
Also with Doze feature,the battery has more durability when the phone isn't being used.
So my opinion is Cyanogenmod 13.(And that's what I'm using right now)
Greetings.
thank you very much! i'll give it a try this evening
If you ever find the cm 13 ROM, let me know. Im looking for it on the d852.
Thanks
