[GUIDE+Video] How to Get Android 5.0 on your G2- How to install ROM (Noob-Friendly) - G2 General

First of all welcome This is one Noob Friendly GUIDE from me, like title says... If theres anything u need feel free to reply in this thread..
Hope everyone here know how to flash ROM, but there re people that still ask me how to flash some ROM, this is guide for them
If youre on 4.2, you should upgrade to 4.4.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 (recommended)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-TZ347tasw&list=UUny-iARLnbyw1OVIaQhi3Pw (one OLD guide but it could help, follow first link it is recommended)
ROOT:
First of all you`ill need to root your device:
Or, in List Form:
Ensure you have the proper USB drivers installed, and your phone is in the proper mode (For Verizon, use Ethernet mode on the PC settings menu)
Enable Developer Mode on your phone and enable USB Debugging
Extract this zip file somewhere on your PC
Run root.bat
The phone will ask you to disconnect USB, disable USB debugging, then re-enable it and plug the phone back in, do so when prompted
You will be then asked if you would like to have a superuser package installed, which you can accept or decline

Thanks @thecubed
I think the easiest way to install recovery is to install TWRP using AutoRec app, yeah you could do the same things (flashing/wiping etc..) by installing CWM from TWRP or installing just CWM from adb or however
TWRP:
Guide
Upgrade to KitKat using KDZ / TOT / OTA method
Root your device (using ioroot25)
Install AutoRec (grant root permission)
*D801 must root before taking KitKat OTA

Thanks to: @Cloudyfa
And: @bender_007
Now:
Boot into TWRP/CWM Recovery (Shut down your phone, Press and Hold Volume - and POWER till you see the LG logo appears, then immediatly let the keys and hold them again till you see message about factory reset, just press power button 3 times, dont worry it will not factory reset your phone, it will bring u to recovery )
Go to Install/flash .zip/Rom (name) .zip and swipe or press YES and it will says: Reboot device? go to NO
Now you should flash Gapps, repeat same proccess ( Install/flash .zip/name_gapps.zip ) (GAPPS stands for Google Apps... That includes stuff like the gmail app, google maps, google goggles, etc. ) Do not reboot device, stay into recovery
Now you should do full wipe: Go to advanced/wipe/check: data and swipe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)
Go to advanced/wipe/check: cashe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)
Go to advanced/wipe/check: system (if ure using CWM go just to YES)
Go to advanced/wipe/check: dalvik cashe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)
If it is asking you for installing root, press yes if u wanna root on your device
Yeah finnaly you can reboot your device and enjoy new system

You can install these Roms on your D803, youill just need to flash D803 kernel after flashing rom

I dont think its possible yet that way

I have to disagree. Been running Ls 4.0 and it works great. Maybe a few bugs but dialer works, MMS, YouTube, camera, WiFi and data, proximity while in call, ect all work. I've been on it since LS released it and much better than kk. Maybe no major customizations but those will be soon to come. An added bonus is the battery, at least for me, is a step above kk.

[ROM][D855] get a taste of aosp...

Hi my friend... i really want to see how aosp based rom will run on our phone
This is a simply port of devianxone rom builded by $droyds$ for the tmo version with a kernel compiled by me from intervirgilium github.
1- set up the TWRP
2- reboot in recovery ( will start fastboot ) and boot into recovery;
3- make a backup;
4- factory reset;
5- install the rom zip from sdcard ( where you must had copy the rom );
6- reboot recovery ( so you will be again in the fastboot mode);
7- do this:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
8- enjoy the speed
all credits go to @$Droyds$ for the rom and to intervigilium for the kernel source
DONATE to @$Droyds$ for his work
Download the ROM
Download the kernel
The rom is still bugged so don't report anything, it's just for testing purpose.
O.O don't you need the bootloader unlocked ?
Hey! is it for D855 or F400x?

Thanks for providing this rom for the G3 community.
For the sheer sake of security, it would be better to add to the title the model this rom is intended to.
This way there will be les confusion among the users, particularly those who don't read the entire thread.

If you follow the guide on the TWRP thread i linked you can make a backup and, after the test, restore everything.
Wow ?
@Skin1980 just copy my thread and change for your device.. Be sure to be as detailed as you can on install.. We need to talk cause if you can explain to me what you changed for d855 and this is a legitimate flash method I can source it and get some support out for you.. Pm me your hangout info and I'll hit you up after I wake up..
You'll need to re port tonight I've got a lot of fixes in the next build.

way to my G3…. waiting to open…. splash screen now….
Worked but, touchscreen stopped working, and then I pull off battery, and now I can't boot to recovery. :x
EDIT: boot certification verify, error ;x
EDIT2: Fixed entering in Recovery Mode ( Volume DOWN + Power Button, since LG Logo appears, than release and press anothertime until recovery), so can bootup.
All working, hope fixing the wifi problem, and making it as taste as CM11 with luncher and other apps.
and we need to flash Gapps.

I mean flash cm gapps ! He flash gapps mini i think from another source
i tried with normal gapps found here in the forum, not cm gapps. do you have a link for the cm gapps? so I may try with them too when I have got some spare time
I think here : http://www.naldotech.com/download-and-install-gapps-for-android-5-0-lollipop/
But is it really gapps related issue ?

don't think so, because even without flashing gapps, you continuosly get the system UI FCs since first boot
Testing
Used this rom for few minutes and found the following bugs :- wifi,bluetoots,brightness,sensors,Reboot as soon as screen is locked lol
No fc's for me
Can make and receive calls
maybe if we work together to fix the bugs this rom might become stable
Method of install :- Wipe data flash rom and reboot....

just curious, maybe a language problem? Actually here it automatically selected Italian language during wizard. What language are you using?
Most of us are not even successful in making up with the fcs. But still happy about the fact that there is some progress in the development. But we all must be eagerly waiting for Ivan's lollipop

Does someone know if the dev published the device tree used to compile the rom?
I guess he used github.com/keyur2maru/android_device_xiaomi_cancro since it's his and seems updated to L.

There are the installers for the TWRP/Philz Installers (or recovery vee3). You just only install one recovery. It haves some mic redirection bug and no more else. And the steps for flashing its:
First: Wipe all the stuff (cache, data, system, dalvik cache)
Second: Flash the rom (i mean, the cm11...zip file)
Third: In case you have dual-sim, flash the another ones, first the Single2Dual, and after the VeeKernelDual.
Fourth: Flash gapps for 4.4.4
And enjoy c:
This lags a lot :/
Even with engines/Tweaks
Maybe the phone itself as I have the same ROM in a lower device (Galaxy Pocket Neo) and it's not laging so much as it

On latest samsung firmwares(I'm using xxu2bok3 for 350h)im using cwm and flash it with flashfire and don't have the reboot in to recovery bug, before the firmware update(xxu...BI0)have that bug, think Sammy fix the kernel b/c I'm also notice that my phone is faster keep more ram free, even with a lot of app open in the back and the best is not aggressive on managing the ram any more closing the apps when you open another and let it in the back.

These roms arent mine lol. I don't have the knowledge to build them.
Unfortunately its a bit harder to build these roms for J500H,M,G but with such good devs thats not impossible...
Im using J500H stock,non rooted.
Sent from my SM-J500H using XDA-Developers Legacy app

So which ROMs are working with j500H? You're on stock as stated above. Are these devices rooted and with twrp? If rooted and with custom recovery tried modding boot.img?

What a pity! If you"re not afraid you could try Vaserbanix tutorial to change kernel. I don't have PC right now, so I try this and could test every nougat ROM without downgrading, of course you will have some issues but worked for me and its better to stand waiting for devs work. Learned a lot with this and hope you will find useful too. ???☺

After that I began to learn how to use osmosis wonderful tools.
