I would say its about the same if not slightly better. And it charges REALLY fast. I would say about 2 hours or so and your good to go

I really loved the LGHome Launcher on The LG Nitro HD/LG Thrill 3D both were about the same. Any Chance of getting it ported or working? I tried just loading it but never would install OR show up even after putting it in System/app
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna happen bro, sorry. Not enough interest for a complete rework so it'll work on the note. Ur best bet would check out all the aftermarket launchers n find one u like...
There's an LG Launcher apk out there, I have it but can't seem to attach it... it's not 100% working of course... just Google it, it should come up.

I cant google it. The ONLY LGHome Launcher that comes up is OLD from the old optiumus and in which will not work properley cause of the screen size on the note compaired to the SMALL size its made for.
Looking for the one from the Nitro HD or Thrill 3d

I tried. Just force closes.

I've played with that launcher and in my opinion it is inferior to touchwiz, adw ex or go. My wife has it on her thrill. Just doesn't feel like its here to please me...like adw.

Hey guys, I suppose everyone has seen the g2 commercials, u notice the speed they do the knock knock at the end of the commercial, I started doing my knock at that speed, and its been damn near 100% reliable. Might give it a shot....

I have always been doing it that way and it is as close to 100% as you can get. People just like to cry about things without trying different ways first. :thumbup:

Great find!!! Attempted same speed to put in "sleep" mode though in this scenario the quicker succession works better.
I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.
First off pro and con
* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.
Pros
* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.
* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.
*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving
Con's
* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.
*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

So this is a smart watch that works with other phones not just Sony. Was just gonna start researching this. Love the galaxy gear but didn't want the note 3. So I got G2. Are there other manufacturers doing this.

Yes this one work with all androids. I like the fact that I don't have to go to my pocket to check to see about a message. I don't always feel it when it vibrates since I don't like the sound. Its really easy to see it sun light just not in the dark with out turning on the back light

Letting y'all know I'll be returning the smart watch just the few days I've had it the watches battery got better but my phones battery dropped from 5 hours of screen on to 1-1/12 hrs. I'm not around a charger that often. I can't have it die on me that quick. I loved it just thought it would help battery life since I wouldn't be turning the screen on that often

Dont flash cm/pa only because you want to flash something. Stock is faster and easy adjustable.

Come on, faster?
Noooo. 4.4 debloated and running in art mode on this thing is ridiculous fast, and the extra free ram and fewer running processes make for much better multitasking.
I did love the stock rom, but a properly setup aosp rom will always be faster.

LG G2 and Paranoid Android 4.0 is a match made in geek heaven. I love this phone and haven't even thought of trading it (coming from a guy that has had the S4, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5s all in the past 7 months because he wasn't satisfied.)

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

There is no point repeating this, mate. There will always be "smarter" people who will claim that free RAM is good as if our phones were running Windows 95.
How do you like your new G2, OP?

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.
How do you think the infamous v6 supercharger script worked?

That article was written 2 years ago and was incorrect when it was written. Do you understand that an article isn't definitive proof? You just linked me to the opinion of another because you're not intelligent enough to articulate the idea your self.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.

Nope none at all.
Take a look at this other thread I began on the International forum, I hope it can help you somehow.

is your issue just that its a high % or is it actually causing your battery to die quickly?
