As many of you may have noticed, google android gave excellent news for L (4.5 or 5.0) has a new interface, new keyboard, ART runtime, Project Volta and endless deployments to the system, from my point of view, this will be, so far, the update with more changes to date, and I see a great future in android.
Q - What is your opinion about this update?
Q - Our Optimus G will be able to get this update? (Obviously not by LG)
I make this post since no one around here seems excited as I am
Write your review below :highfive:
Sorry my bad english, I'm using the google translator
i think its a really good update, the change from android 2.3 to 4.0 was good but android 4.0 was sad too much black, too serious. this version reminds me of samsung : childlish colors, big things... i would like a more serious os but whatev... im really excited about that update i think its gonna be good, I want it!

that's true, black is not it look bad, but bored after a while, for me, the new look is "solid", and most of all simple, I'm excited, because maybe, improving performance and the battery life due to ART, is significantly better than kitkat
There is also a reason y black has been chosen..to reduce t battry consumption...also it wrks well in case of amoled screens...
I like the L look but I also like the new LG interface from the G3. Remember you will get most of the L features as updated Google apps roll out. Once the Nexus 4 has this update it will be pretty straightforward to get it on the Optimus G. But I think the best solution for this phone will be: official KK, root and theme to get G3 features, and use the redesigned Google apps as they come out.
I'm expecting CM12 late this year. The new UI looks great.
Surprised to see so many excited for ART.

Absolutely agree with this. I'd say not necessarily the official KK, but stock-based, like Sling or VDT. Personally, I don't like the L look, from what I've seen. Some components are just plain ugly, for example, the keyboard. To each their own, I guess...
As for ART, the dealbreaker for me is Xposed. When it starts supporting ART, it will make sense to upgrade. Until then, no.

Well, for LCD screens, the difference is very marginal, if not negligible, since the backlight is the main power sucker. Only AMOLED will give you a measureable power saving when using black.
I hope Android L, as I read in the forum the nexus 5, the battery life has drastically improved, 2h SOT (Screen on Time) to 4 + to some users says 7 hours of screen time
and overall performance is more buttery and solid
I'm excited, hopefully developers porting nexus 4 to achieve, then our talented developers can port it to Optimus G
Excuse my bad English, I'm using google translator
I love the professional UI. I'd love to have a stock Android L experience if it ever comes to O.G
In my opinion the core experience and visual changes are improvements and to the regular Joe they might seem ok but I'm concerned about the hability we will have to modify this new version. Seems to me Google is locking it Down some to make it more "secure" and now it will be using Knox tech on that front. If we start getting qFuses ala Samsung we are going to have a hard time modding out devices it's not going to be impossible but very hard. Look at the Verizon and AT&T latest Samsung Models, they just now got rooted and beyond rooting custom roms might be possible but kernels and recoverys will be very very hard with the locked Boot loaders. And Google now wants to be like Apple and lock it all down. That part I don't like.

No, they may want to lock the source. Tho, you can run any modification you want, if you know how to do it. In 1.5 it was a hell harder than it is today. So seeing people complaining about being hard to put a mod because you have to move stuff through folders, give permissions, and use a terminal, make me incredible nervous.
Still, I highly doubt they will lock the source. Android growns due the freedom of its open source. So no, it will stay opened, what the OEMs does is problem of the dumb people who gets their devices because they want a trademark logo instead of a good device.
Android L is like a revolution upgrade, not by looks, by the API's they put in it & ART will be default.
As a android developer I'm really surprise how much easier some API's have become, and ART is a big deal in developing for android.
Can't wait to start using those API's.
Q: Will LG release Android L for our E975?
If so I'm stick with this phone, love the Optimus UI, its really easy to use.
else have to buy a Nexus or G2 or G3.

Well, i think our Optimus G officialy die with KitKat 4.4.2, i don't believe that LG will update our device to Android L, or almost near in the future.
RIP Optimus G with Official updates, now its only on the hands of the developers!

Are you talking about the L? Then no, you are not the only one... I find some new functionality quite impressive, but the UI is just ugly (to my taste). Also, can't understand what the big deal is about the new animations, shadows, etc. (basically, the whole Material Design thing)...

Happy to get the regular ART, but Android L is just to a version to sent older smartie's into retirement. Will see how CM's work is done with L. Don't think L is featured that well. Just to make it compatible to Wear and TV and so on ? Do I have to buey a new TV now ? For what ? Don't see serious graphical improvements. But everyone has his own opinion.
For me it is just creating a hug bubble with nothing serious in it.
Regards.

It has a lot of new features. Some even from PA. Paranoid Android devs themselves loved L because is finally getting where they wanted it to be. Also, I loved the UI, looks better, tho as I'm a oem firmware lover since my Xperia s, it may have helped a lot. Never liked stock aosp Ui anyway.
I don't like the new UI either. It's more like a custom launcher than a standard one for daily use.
IMO I think the new Material Design looks pretty cool. Features like lock screen notifications are also long overdue
I've been following the porting of Android L in the nexus 4 and almost ready, but missing some details, I wonder if there will be some developer who carries the Optimus G, after completion of porting this

Change the white balance for the screen in the Settings > Display > White Balance
Decrease the Reds and the Greens and the yellowish tint will be gone
Its true that sony does for some reason ( whos knows why ) release a phone with different panels, some ips and the older yellowish screenn your friend seems to have gotten
Theme
May be the other phone is not on stock theme {if at all theme makes a difference}
Screen guard (Matte and normal screen protectors have some differences}
I want to ask.. why there is Chinese & Japanese keyboard options inside Input keyboard settings?
I thought my phone is unlocked or something, but then i have bought it from sony retail store, official store,
I have aslo asked this to service center.. they told me, it is just like that
any idea why those options are there in T2 ultra dual?
Just curiosity purpose I am asking this.. phone is fine.. :good:

Same Problem Here!!
I've bought T2 Ultra last week and I was very happy till I compared the white color of my phone's screen with my brother's one... and mine was so yellowish compared to his screen.. then I found out that both phones have different screens!
my T2 Ultra screen name:
NT35592-Tianma 720p video model panel
his T2 Ultra screen name:
NT35596J-JDI 720p video model panel
why Sony is doing this... it is kinda unfair to its customers.

So, you guys can't return these phones and get an exchange? Mine is pure white and the reason I got this phone is because the beautiful almost neutral display.

Actually I tried that.. but the seller said if there is no lines or dead pixels then there's no problem with your phone... he also said it's maybe the black color of the phone or theme that you applied are affecting the white color *face palm* :cyclops:
I'm getting a LG G3 and wanted to know how is ROM support etc?
Are there any drawbacks on the phone i should be aware of?
I need something that has good audio in headphones(heard it sucks on LG G4) like Audiophile, Good vibrant contrast display, has OTG support with ROMS..
Is this phone for me?
I traded in my g3 for a g4 and kick myself every step of the way g4 is a good phone but g3 was better there is a issue with crackling sometimes with the g3s. Otg. Is good use many devices. G3 is a must root and mod device. Outa the box they are sluggish a little overheat. Lag but once u root and apply a few mods its the best
Good vibrant contrast display,no.G3 has really dull colors and contrast is very bad.
Hi guys i switched from an xz2 to the g7 and I am happy with it but i use my phone mostly with one hand so I am very frustrated about how to access to this important feature its inaccurate and verry laggyin fact thi thing and switch between recent 2 apps by double clicking the recent app button its only rhings that i find off about the g7 i would be pleased if someone here can port o do something about it and thank you very much for reading my long and bad written comment.

Have you considered installing a new launcher from the Google Play store?

Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering" & "OpenGL Skia" should make the beast smoother. In Battery / Power Saving Exclusions / tick all 'ON". Don't know why LG had included the unnecessary battery feature. What we want is a damn smooth UI which uses the powerful SD 845's processing power! If LG had listened to it's customers, we could have enjoyed unlocked bootloader, an custom kernel would enable us to change the CPU Governors, whereas LG's stock is crap, which could be resulting in "dropped frames" in the UI In the future, If LG do not optimize their flagships matching the excellent hardware. Now it's time to say hello to gaming phones which have an amazing 240Hz touch sampling rate & world's 1st 120Hz AMOLED display!. Once my beloved LG G7 gets old & dying, in 2 or 3 years, I hope LG would have these better features to have an enjoyable smooth software experience ,where as I have zero complaints about the UI because I like the way LG UX appears close to stock Android. All the best LG, I hope I stay with LG forever!
