KitKat or Lollipop for D851?

[smokarz]

Hi Guys,

Like to hear some inputs from users that went from KitKat to Lollipop, or vice versa.

From what I have read so far, KitKat seems to be the smoother ROM and some users have reported lag and performance issues with Lollipop?

What are the KitKat ROMs that are available? It seems most developers are moving onto Lollipop now?

Thanks much!

Personally, I don't have any problems w/ lag using LP (5.0.1) on a D851. There are a number of 4.4.x based ROMS for the G3 that can be found here...

Scroll down about 3/4 of the page to the "KitKat, Android 4.4x" section.

Do folks mostly use ROMs cooked specifically for the D851, or are the ones in the general G3 section considered fair game without compromises? I'm coming from the S4 which was picky about models/ROM matching...

You can only flash ROMs that are compatible w/ your phones model, for ex. D851, D852, D855, etc.

I have no problem with lollipop ? and like it more than kitkat. I've noticed with L I get more battery life and it's smoother. All the xposed mods that I've used on kitkat now work fine on L. I have no plans to go back to kitkat. Currently using cloudy rom
