Caution:
NFC not working.
SD Card can not be mounted.

is the camera working correctly on geeb?

The builds provided in the link you posted are from @Kevinjoa , and he has a thread on the Sprint LG Optimus G forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-sprint/development/port-android-l-preview-gee-t2818325). There are more posts and active members there, so anyone that wants to know what's up should head there.
Also, Data doesn't work with kernelgeeb.zip on release 17 (just tested it)
You can get Data and camera to work on release 17 (or any Kevinjoa's builds i think) with this kernel (https://mega.co.nz/#!VNcRCCiK!I0cV-A1MgcEsTWsx07zVmxEDGgQIjt7DjP_dEqY_WwU) but then wifi doesnt work. Right now I'm experimenting replacing some wifi files in the rom to see if wifi works with the jollaman's kernel provided above.
I'll report back as soon as I can.
And btw thanks for creating this thread here on e970 forums, I don't think everyone knows about the Spring OG thread
EDIT2: Well turns out making a flashable zip isn't as simple as I thought xD
EDIT1: Ok so I got Wifi, Data, and camera working on release 17 with jollaman's geeb kernel for L, though autorotation gets bugged most of the times i think.
For those interested:
I took all wifi-related files in this rom (https://mega.co.nz/#!xB9xGSpK!kGCJo_GiLqRhPneqbv95xckbSmL2UMQbs7kdn0kZyAU)
from these folders:
\system\etc\wifi
\system\vendor\firmware\wlan\prima
\system\etc\firmware\prima
and copied them to the respective folders in release 17 rom.
Then I flashed the modified rom file and the jollaman kernel.
I can try to make a flashable zip of the wifi files, though i have never done it before.
And also, I read that jollaman999 is working on v12 of his kernel which would be compatible with Lollipop, so in the meantime if you want jollaman's kernel features then this is the way to go

I'm on E970 & camera, wifi worked perfectly. But thanks a lot for your detailed post. Is there any patch for SD card & NFC? Except these 2 things, this ROM is not bad!

Not yet. That's what's keeping me from using this rom as a daily driver :c .
I guess Jollaman's kernel v12 will fix those issues, but as far as I know, there is no word on when he's releasing it

EDIT: Well the v12 does have the option for android L kernel, but then wifi and data dont work, and still no SD card mounting : |
Wou that's new. sorry, I'll edit my post, and try it on android L release 17 to see how it goes.
according to jollaman999 camera is working and he added sd card init lines for geeb (http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...el-jolla-kernel-cm-based-roms-t2851612/page46).

As been mentioned many times in this thread, no. It might require a framework modification.

Amazing work!

You could try decompiling the framework-res.apk and then modifying the file "storage_list.xml" in "res/xml/" and add the proper values, something like:
"<storage
android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard1"
android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card"
android:removable="true"
android:maxFileSize="4096" />"
(from https://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html)
after the existing entry in there.
Then you would need to recompile the .apk and add that to the device.
After that, it might show up (with the right Kernel).
