Up until now, we have only seen partially working Android L ports for the Nexus 4and 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.
