GUIDE
1. Download the kernel source in my github. [https://github.com/sktjdgns1189/android_kernel_lge_f180k]
2. Build kernel and Execute modules.sh [when execute you should make the folder in upper kernel source directory which named 'Modules']
3. Copy built zImage file to the KernelSource/Merge-Tool Folder.
4. Execute make.sh
5. Now, You have G Pro Lollipop bootable boot.img
6. Download G Pro Lollipop Firmware [or based custom ROMs] and change the boot.img
7. Copy Modules/* to the ROM/system/lib/modules/
8. Flash it.
9. Wow! It boots.
When device is boot up, You can see black screen several seconds.
But It is not brick, just boot progress.
If your device does not booted up to 10 mins, Please try again.

Pre-Built Files
You can download pre-builted boot image in my github. [https://github.com/sktjdgns1189/android_kernel_lge_f180k]
In the KernelSource/Merge-Tool Folder, You can download boot.img.

Some Hack
Using wm, we can change the resolution temporarily.
type below command lines to set G Pro's resolution.
su
wm size 1080x1920
wm density 480
After reboot, Most of apps will work well.
But the resolution is not fit on our G Device. :(

EDIT: ok i see our master was faster

lel i wrote all then my browser said goodbye... so now i hold me short:
first of all i must say thanks to @sam_0829 for his help always in past and hopefully in future :D
He ported G3 KK Rom to our G so if we need tips (this one is from him i wrote here!) im sure he give it us ;)

1st Step is done as i said: Bring G PRO Kernel Boot on G (Download G Pro Kernel Sources and Patch it with G needed files)

2nd Step is now: Happy resizing of all png´s in ALL System Apps
Cause LG dont like to waste Storage and have no Drawable-XHDPI Folder, only XXHDPI and XXXHDPI.

Procedure: Decompile all APKs, create next to "drawable-(x)xxhdpi" folder the needed "drawable-xxhdpi" folder. Resize all PNGs from xxxhdpi or xxhpdpi and put into xhdpi (if image from xxxhdpi 128x128, u have to resize it -50% so xhdpi must have 64x64). last but not least compile APKs

Now im searching for a goot TUT to resize png´s (best would be a tool who can easy resize png´s in one folder in one step so we only had to put xxxhdpi in xhdpi, let program resize and finish :D ;)
if threre are other png´s on other folder we must do the same![COLOR="Silver]



So we must choose 1 G PRO L Rom we use to do that!!!

Use Photoshop or gimp to resize them. It's easy
