Saw a lot of these threads on other phone forums and got curious.
**This is not a dev bashing, rom compairing, best rom thread!**
What rom you you use and why do you like it?
I am a flashing junky, and no... not the kind that wanders around parks in a trench coat.
I flash a rom, play with it, get bored , and flash another.
ATM im on PAC ROM and love it so far. The mix of the 3 roms combined is fun.
Just wondering what the G3 population thinks, so.. Let's hear it!
Zonerom ?it's fast, stable and battery is very good. Favorite rom so far. Been running it since it came out.
used to run zone rom when it first came out, but now that aosp roms are released, im flashing back and forth every few days.
Love how 480 dpi looks on this phone, and everything works at that dpi on these aosp roms.
... ok well almost everything, there are some features not worked out yet, but it is still good enough to be used as a daily.
Running CloudyFA's ROM. Still on a stock kick, especially with the Quick Circle case. Loving it.
Currently, bone stock. I rooted, then unrooted. For what I personally use it for, so far, stock suits me fine. We'll see what the future holds in development.
was Zone, Carbon now
Zone, based on stock 10m, is very stable and fast
Carbon, AOSP, is very stable too and lightning fast

How is battery life compared to stock?

I'm getting better battery life on every AOSP ROM I've used. My battery life on stock/stock ROMs wasn't bad either.

Nice?what rom would you recommend?
Stock>Skydragon>Pac-rom.
So far so good. Battery on AOSP holds up well. The build is a little laggy, but, as expected, this early into it.

What is best for me may not be the same for your use. I'd just pick one and flash away. I'm using Validus at the moment but have also used PAC, Beanstalk, Liquid Smooth, and shortly, AICP. They've all been solid with no issues for me.
currently running stock rooted. liquid smooth would be my daily but I have had to many blue screens on it.
Carbon currently. Loved PAC, but would get lag during some games and stutters here and there (expected). Tried Validus but had issues with unlocking screen and texting. AOSP has much better battery life than stock in general, for me at least. Haven't found one issue with Carbon yet.

Does exposed work on carbon? G3 tweakbox?
CloudyG3 1.2. I've tried pretty much every one of the stock and non-stock custom ROMs and I keep coming back to this. It has stock functionality with AOSP speed and performance.
Before Cloudy was released, I would have bet my house that I would have ditched stock ROMs for good once they got the camera working. It's not that the stock build was bad, but between it being a little wobbly and me coming from a Nexus 5... Even SkyDragon, Zone and Lonely didn't get to where I really wanted.
Now I'm all in with 'stock' again.... Because of that ROM

Xposed does work on AOSP ROMs but I don't think G3 tweaksbox will though. That's built to run on a LG based ROM. I personally think that most AOSP ROMs have enough built in options that xposed isn't necessarily needed. App Settings(per app DPI settings) was always the only module I ever really used on AOSP based ROMs.
Carbon - everything just works!

I haven't tried Xposed on Carbon, there is enough options in settings that I don't find myself needing it. Although I would assume it would work. G3 Tweakbox, on the other hand, probably wouldn't. That's more focused on stock mods.

Which version? I haven't had a single reboot in my d851 with either 1.1 or 1.2
Hi,
The OnePlus One really impresses me with there cm11s and cm12 roms, I like the stock Android feel with customization. The G3 stock feels a bit to slow and laggy to me. So the question is, how does the G3 holds up in the stable roms department against the OnePlus? Is there any stabel CM11 or CM12 roms? And is it as simple to install as on the OnePlus?
[ROM][Lollipop][Unofficial]Cyanogenmod 12 [D855]
Official CM12 is planned.
And there is plenty other AOSP roms.
It is easy to flash custom ROMs on G3. Just click flash in recovery.
Depending on the LG G3 you have, if it's a 2GB or 3GB, the experience is pretty much the same.
I have a one plus one and an LG G3 and i find the LG G3 software to be more colourfull, which is great on the screen.
The customization that the LG G3 offers without being rooted is huge, you can change almost everything.
In terms of speed, i have the 2GB. My LG doesn't seem so slow, I'm using a Custom Rom (AndroidNow) and it feels great.
Overall, i prefer the LG because the phone is more customizable and the quality of the product is a little bit better.

Sounds easy, how will my version of phone hold up with custom roms(see version below)? What you are saying is really that there is not a big diffrence between the scene of custom roms for OnePlus One and the G3?

The version I got is LG-D855 32 GB. The software is Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4, Versionnumber : KVT49L.A1412000029, Softwareversion : V10I-EUR-XX, will this be a problem for the custom rom scene?
I haven´t used the G3 much yet but I have heard that the battery life are really bad? like a day or less of "normal" use and there is random restarts that probably depends on the hardware!? If thay only went with a regular 1080p screen
Im on the fenc about the OnePlus One, have a friend that got it with custom Lollipop rom and its REALLY smooth and fast! Much like the Nexus 5. But Im not so sure about the suport and the missing wireless chargin. The LTE are also not adapten to the Swedish LTE from what I read so problem with reception outside big cities will probably be a fact.

Check for yourself which ROMs you have mate. We will not write ROM by ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development
You have D855 as you said. That is international version and it has biggest ROM collection of all G3 variants.

Is there any sable rom that do bring something "better" but still dont break for example video recording?
Plenty of the is stable and support video recording. Plenty of stock based and aosp based.
Don't understand what do you mean by "do bring something better". Video recording is the same. Only difference on stock you can shoot slowmotion.

Nice to hear that there is stable alternative roms for the g3!
It sounds like you have tested some of them, will some of the custom roms remove the lag that the stock have? How long do your batteri last?

Lag is not present in stock rom even. Lag was there on first batches of firmware, but it is solved.
Battery, I get 5 hours SOT always. It can only goes up, never got less then 5 hours.

I got lag in my updated stock for sure. Its micro lagg but noticable. For example if I open up the programs list and scrolls I will notice that it laggs, nut much but its there. This did never happen on my old Samsung S3.
What suprises me is that my old Samsung S3 on stock are a bit faster then the G3 on opening apps and switching between them. I supose that the screen takes a lot of power and this is one of the resons I have looked at the OnePlus One.
If I wanted to try a custom rom before deciding if I should return the phone, is this possible? I need to be able to return it to the stock exacly as it was. What custom firmware would you suggest? Is there maybe a stable cm11 rom for the G3 international?
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.

Cloudy it is then. At least until CM gets an M release out....

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 ?
Hello to you all,
i bought recentely a g3 D855, and am having some battery draining issue, is it normal? and by the way witch rom do you suggest me to install
Thnx to you all
Interested if someone made some tests about popular roms
for me, cloudy 2.2 is the best
For me is AN 10.2 but this rom is not available in XDA (but is the best, by far)
Anyway, every user have different demands so, the best rom for me do not necessary mean is the best rom for you.
there's no best rom. all are equal and yet different in their own types. it all depends on the user. try them all pick what you most like.
and threads like this is not allowed here in XDA. no to roms/ bias
In general, you have to choose between AOSP ROMs and stock ROMs. AOSP ROMs are stock-like android versions which have neat tricks up their sleeves. They are super-light on the system(meaning it's lighting fast), you get newer versions faster, the community is bigger and you get to customize it more freely, but the cons are that the camera doesn't have the same quality as the stock ROMs and there are some missing features which are kinda-unique to our phones.
AOSP ROMs best advatage for me is the battery life but although that sounds awesome, I prefer to have all my features and especially the camera. Therefore I am still stuck with Cloudy 2.2 .
After using CM12 for a few months, I finally installed cloudy and I'm very happy. I couldn't stand the annoying bugs of CM anymore (mainly the screen which doesn't respond at random times) and it's nice to have all the native features of the G3 (nice camera, knock code...).

am not trying to create a survey, am just looking for the most stable release (battery drain, fluid...) and if the battery drain is normal.... lol
thnx dude,
what about battery on cloud's rom?? and is the rom stable?? thnx
I bought my G3 used in like new condition, rooted it, and installed TWRP. Couldn't stand the stock ROM (spoiled by years of using phones on AOSP, I guess) and spent a day poking around. Tried several AOSP/CM ROMs and think I'm happy on Euphoria.
The only reason I care about stock is probably the only reason anyone cares about stock on the G3: the camera. I tried debloated stock and Cloudy and didn't care for either. I'm running the Lenovo SNAPit Camera (LSC) with modded settings/libs/whatever and it's fine, but still less than I expected from the G3's fantastic camera. We all know the stock camera won't ever come to AOSP/CM, so I think my only option is to go back to stock if I care that much (and it may turn out that I don't).
And so my question: what's the best way to make stock look like AOSP? Bonus points for added functionality that comes from CM. So...Xposed? I could keep installing new ROMs and playing around, but making a quick thread seems to the best way to save myself literally hours of wasted time.
TIA!
You can put lipstick on a pig.
Install Nova, pick a newer icon theme, install a better SMS app,
Install Xposed and G3Tweaks, then experiment with any number of modules, making a nandroid and clearing caches at every step....
At best it's a "Sorta."
I came from the same perspective, more or less, willing to give up any number of things for that glorious laser shark proprietary camera. But every other aspect of the ROM seemed to fight me at every step until I got tired of the resistance and went to AOSP.
You're right, we may never get the LG stock camera app on an AOSP ROM, so if you really want to run AOSP, perhaps find an alternative camera that you do like (I laughed at the AOSP camera, too). In addition to the Lenovo port, there is a Motorola port, M9 port (I'm working on fixing it for the G3), and some really nice stuff like Snap Camera and Focus in the Market.
Although I sometimes miss the simplicity and accuracy of the stock camera, when I booted into my stock nandroid the other day and played with it again, I found it very limiting, too. All in all, I found that trading that cam to get back the functionality and customization that I expect on my Android devices was worth it.
