- LED notification works
- Anything related to CPU/GPU is working
- Navigation buttons for Nexus 4 work

Optimus G kernel or replaced with Nexus4 stock kernel? Flashing a Nexus4 specific kernel seems to be a greet idea.

We should only change the device specific parts of the rom to be fully working.

I'll try to help later today.

Not that I would revert back to manufacture based skinned ROMs, but +1 for the nexus dev community!

Optimus G kernel.

Its pretty hard to use the Nexus 4 kernel and modules etc. since its for Android 4.2.x and this rom is Android 4.1.2 =]

Not trying to say this isn't awesome but I'm only interested in that damn lock screen! That unlock effect is what everyone is after! Hopefully this is the beginning of that work. Well done for this! :thumbup:

Awesome!!! When I was deciding what my next phone would be, it was between a nexus 4, an xperia z, and an optimus g....now I can see what I missed out on!

Great work...can't wait for a stable build

Aerys · Mar 4, 2013

Note; When you boot the device it will do a media scan. It will be VERY slow and laggy for like 10-20 seconds.

rocklee80 · Mar 4, 2013

The things that i find interesting are the wonderful lockscreen and the colors on the screen looks amazing, hope the devs here can put the Optimus G RGB and gamma values into their kernels.

Can't wait. I wonder if this rom will provide better battery life. LG has some tweaks in their software that's not part of stock android.

My generalization about lg's android experience in the past is they have no idea what they are doing with software(not that I do either) and battery life was horrific. Maybe they got better and more experienced dev teams together. We shall see. On the other hand the nexus 4 is a mighty fine experience:thumbup:

hp420 · Mar 4, 2013

Does this rom have an optimus or a nexus kernel? If it's an Optimus one, maybe we can use some of the custom optimus kernels with it! Then we can really get some awesome stuff!

*edit*

I hadn't looked through their forums to see that they are still in development infancy stages

Maybe our cooperation can be mutually beneficial!

Aerys · Mar 4, 2013

I think we will need the Nexus 4 kernel for rild and Wifi but yeah lets experiment a little.

this is because (IMHO) LG are like Sony....they make some of the sexiest, best performing, highest quality hardware you can find for many different types of devices/electronics. However, they have absolutely no business making software & firmware.

Having said that, I do think they have a great deal of wonderful IDEAS that they implement into their electronics (especially android) but they are usually not polished well, and end up being unstable or just buggy as hell. I do love having those features pulled out and isolated, though, so I can have a monstrous selection of special features that were never intended to work together, though. And when they are, for example, android mods added on top of pure aosp, beautiful things happen, IMHO

Don't see why that wouldn't work. Same hardware

that's my exact school of thought here, as well. I would think if the rom can be swapped out so easily, there's no reason why at least SOME of the kernels wouldn't work by default, as well.

I'm looking specifically at the aokp port for optimus...that's got to have a custom kernel, I would think...and it's most likely optimized for optimus (lol...say that 5 times fast

)

Do you even think this will boot on a n4 kernel?

Would it be easier having a 4.2.2 ROM with the LG stuff added or what's your game plan? I'm very excited about this..

My goal is to get a fully working Optimus G rom. The Nexus 4 kernel doesnt boot with this rom, so I have to look at other options.

lowrider262 · Mar 4, 2013

In theory with the correct radio/kernel combo, would this rom be capable of using DC HSPA +42? I guess a better question would be is the Optimus G capable of it?
