Kitkat rolled out for Optimus G in South Korea !
http://www.intomobile.com/2014/05/16/lg-optimus-g-kitkat-update-hitting-south-korea-we-speak/
isnt that official files ?
Untill we have a .kdz file in our hands we can't say anything for sure. Most probably (and I hope) the firmware shown in the video is only a beta because too many features are missed :crying: we saw how LG is used to manage the updates with the G2, so first of all rolled out a "beta" version in some asian countries, without some features (ART for example)..Then, some weeks later rolled out the final version of the firmware. Anyway we are very close :fingers-crossed:
V29 is beta version, and has ART.
V28 has Knock On, But has been removed, because some reason conflict hardware/
Sorry for my bad english.
I cannot share this firmware. For tester only.
I hope V30b is still in beta.

Thank's very much for the useful details
don't worry if you can't share the rom, personally I am not obsessed with having always the latest beta..I suppose that when it's done, LG will start the roll out, and then, here on xda, works will start Only if it's not a problem and if it's possible for you, would be appreciated if you can keep the community informed on what it's added and what it's removed between the various betas, so we can passionately follow LG's progress..if you want to create a discussion, for example, the community would be happy.Anyway..I think that ART is foundamental for the future, so it's a great news that it's here! :victory:
knock on is a pity, so even knock code would not be there..but it's not as "foundamental" as ART for example, because I think that some talented developer would integrate at least knock on in the kernel (@ak for example, I was thinking to you LOL). The "major" problem would be the knock off, because I suppose that, if the phone doesn't have the knock on, the launcher wouldn't support the gesture to double tap to sleep.
Now it remains to see the other features that LG usually bakes in the roms, as slide aside, Guest mode (it would be REALLY REALLY REALLY useful, at least for me)..hope in good things to come :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Slide aside, guest mode, plug and pop,... Very easy to mod (or port).Thank's very much for the useful details

I have a problem, can not use open bootloader (nexus bootloader) to load kitkat kernel.
Then in next version we'll have less features lol
You look too responsible about the ROM. We should wait for a more generous tester to see a leak at last.
The problem is that you are the only one who has the official kitkat on OG here. Share it, then guys will find a way and strive to help you
Could you be more specific? Because I can't fully understand the problem I mean.. (correct me if I am wrong):
-We start from an optimus g, with lg bootloader (for the noobs that read, it can be unlocked with freegee)
-if you put the nexus 4 bootloader ( I suppose following something similar to this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099784 changing the bootloader partition) I think that the phone will load properly only kernels meant for the nexus 4 (and not even all the kernels for nexus 4, according to the OP of the guide), but I'm not sure because I've never changed the bootloader..Supposing that correctly manages even the optimus g kernels (and it's possible), I suppose that the problem now is the recovery, because nobody created a recovery working with kitkat roms from optimus G. For anybody, that doesn't have almost anything for now to work on..it's almost impossible to create it, IMHO..I think we have only to wait for LG's relases, sorry

Well maybe he could use the classic method for unlocking the bootloader instead of mako?

I use mako unlock method
I use mako unlock method
Is that necessary? Because I don't think anyone will be able to help you in this case. But maybe you could try classic method and see If it works. It might since in classic method it is still Optimus G bootloader.

PM @Shelnutt2 ....he'll help you in unlocking bootloader...He does some modification in boot.img file..
He is the dev of freegee app
I think it's necessary because with a new .kdz rom and new android version, usually even the bootloader is replaced by LG with a new version..so the old method at 99% won't work. Of course is worth a try..but I think that loading trough nexus 4 bootloader is the only option to try..even because probably the jelly bean bootloader wouldn't be compatible with kitkat roms..
We only have to wait for a kdz, nothing else..only few weeks and here we go, hoping that someone would be able to unlock (as fast as possible) the kitkat bootloader..
Thanks you very much. it work like a charm !
I use jb bootloader & recovery + system, baseband, kernel kitkat.
I share kitkat partition with one person, and he will port to E975.
