Up until now, we have only seen partially working Android L ports for the Nexus 4 and HTC One M7. Joining them today is, surprisingly, the original LG Optimus G. While the Optimus G is not as popular as some Samsung and HTC devices, it is still nice to see such an old — and unpopular — device getting an Android L port. One main reason behind this port popping up for the G is that it shares internals that are very similar to the Nexus 4, which must have made the work of developers a tad easy. The ROM is in a very usable state and only has a few bugs related to Camera and NFC. Below is a quick list of all the issues that are currently present in the latest build of Android L for the Optimus G:
Camera is a bit buggy NFC isn’t working Heat issue Slow charging (related to the heat issue) For Sprint Optimus G, there’s workaround to get service Random device update force close issues No SD Card error on some apps
Chances of LG updating the Optimus G to Android L, once it is officially released, are pretty bleak. So, this unofficial ROM is going to be the best way to taste Android L on this device.
