Let's show to the developers that this device is noteworthy!
If there will be many users, more developers will develope something for us.
So maybe a poll?

Why buy a G2 Mini when the G3 Mini is coming... I think you put your money on the wrong horse and there won't be that much development coming for this phone as everybody knows the G3 Mini is gonna have better specs at the same price...
I honestly do not understand why they waited so long with the G2 Mini tbh. I do hope you'll get some AOSP at least :good:

Sometimes that statement is correct sometimes it is not, depending on circumstances. Personal or not... But the G2 mini/G3 mini is a different story.
When the G2 Mini got released there were leaks already of the G3 Mini. The G2 mini got released way to late:
G2 Mini: Status Available. Released 2014, April
G2: Status Available. Released 2013, September
The first G3 Mini leaks are from april. The G3 is getting annoucned the end of this month and the G3 mini will follow quickly. The timespan between those two phones is just too short. It's not like you have to wait 8-12 months, no it's probably only 1-3 months.
This makes your argument invalid lol.

It seems to me that LG is very eager to ensure the success of their G2 flagship phone, especially given the fact that Samsung and HTC are now a bit behind with the hardware. LG will probably provide the KitKat in order to send a message that they can also provide timely updates, which is one of the reasons that's keeping the enthusiasts adopting their phone (and the enthusiasts are powerful marketing vectors). It would be great to have the KitKat for the G2 in the same day the Nexus 5 is lauched, it would be a very powerful marketing message from LG.
Having used the Optimus 2X for a while, I find this extremely hard to believe. The Nexus 5 reportedly has lower specs than the G2. If the G2 gets 4.4 on the same day as the Nexus 5 is out, it'd seriously hurt the sales of the N5 for Google. But of course, if this is true, it'd be incredible.
How about 4.3 now? Let alone promising 4.4 when it is not even released yet.
-LG G2
Korean models will be for sure the 1st to get it,good to have one lol

Why waste time on 4.3 when they are working out the kinks on 4.2 and then do a direct jump to 4.4? Personally I hope they arent wasting anything on 4.3.
Agreed 4.3 is anyway just a hogwash, i would rather take 4.4 directly(if it brings anything good to table). 4.2.2 was the last major update for me, and anyway performance has been top notch of 4.2.2.
So iron out the kinks in 4.2.2 then upgrade directly to 4.4 and then concentrate on your next flagship.
According to recent leaks, the Nexus 5 will be almost identical (hardware wise) to the international G2! LG is making the Nexus 5 so they have access to the Android 4.4 Code for sure. They may have struck some deal with Google and be able to bring 4.4 to the G2 sooner than we think!

So:
- Different display
- Different camera
- Different battery
- Probably no FM radio
- Different circuit board (given the different button placement)
What more should be different in order to qualify the Nexus 5 as "different" from the G2 (given the fact that the CPU is a common CPU which will be used by all manufacturers in their phones) ?

Taking LG history of not updating there phones add to that the carriers lack of timelynes plus the N5 is set to drop soon i highly doubt we will see 4.4 till at least Q2
Wait, it's from a PRIVATE Facebook chat? There was once LG posted that the next major update was coming to the Optimus 2X the following month. And it never did. So no, my hopes aren't high.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
4.2.2 is running fine atm. No need to rush to 4.4.
As said before, I think Nexus 5 will have 4.4 alone for few months, after that LG will follow.
Hello I was just going through the n5 threads.and I found this.anyone interested in porting for the d802 ?

Get the nexus 5 .if ur gonna keep complaining about lac of dev support.
This phone is new and will take a while for development
As for the s3,the device may have cm11 but it has plenty of bugs because of exnyos
And s4 is based on Qualcomm 600 which I think Devs are pretty familiar with
So plz if u really want to stay here and discourage others I would request u to kindly buy the nexus 5 and get what u want

As for the Galaxies, they have been out longer, have a wider breadth of developers so more people have eyes on it, more people familiar with the kernel etc. Also, the Nexus 5 is different enough from the G2 that I really don't think we're going to see simply ports to our hardware. Just like the Optimus G and Nexus 4.
If you want a Nexus-like experience, get a Nexus. Simple as that.

Not just sad, but unbelievable. Guess we need to gift a LG G2 32gb to a Cm developer.
I think its possible to compile CM11 with what is currently available. I'll try and setup my build environment later this evening. I'll give it a shot. Bugs guaranteed but ... we need more bleeding edge stuff for this phone to attract more recognised devs to develop for this device.
Its people like these impatient dou***bags that make devs not want to build for us..if you want it go build it yourself and stop trolling this isn't Google+. If you want to troll do it there like everyone else.

true... today, our old Optimus 2x runs kitkat 4.4.4 almost without a problem (depending if you use HDMI and some other minor stuff)
G2 was my choice for upgrade mainly because of the screen size and quality, it looks nicer than other devices i was considering to buy and most important of all - i got it for a bargain for extending my contract with my provider...
and i don't like samsung or especially iStuff (and HTC ruined their flagships with enormous bezels)

I wouldn't wait for AT&T release the L update. As long as LG releases source code, i'm sure dev will jump on it and get us the best out of it.
why are there few roms for the lg g2 mini? as compared the galaxy s4 mini (about 50 custom roms), the lg g2 mini has only 2-3 alpha unstable roms... can we expect more roms or it is just that lg g2 mini is not very popular and bootloader is locked..so we cannot expect more roms coming..?
Because S4 mini released in july 2013. G2 mini released in april 2014, so wait 8 months and then will se

Well rather than just sitting on your butt, you could start doing some research into how to built roms from sources, zaaap, has luckily for us made a lot of possibilities, so it's just about getting started. I myself am far from a developer, android expert or anything like that... But still I'm trying to find a possible way to create a miui rom from source, I'm not saying it's going good , but atleast it's worth a try.
So don't just wait, try to do something yourself and help the community
