LG G2 Courted The Lollipop Ahead Of Official Release

Rashed97 is a member of XDA and is considered as a hero for LG G2 users. Apparently, this is because of the custom ROM developed by the lad which installs the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop specifically on the G2.

In detail the ROM is designed for the G2 D800, D801, D802, LS980, and VS980 variants. Unfortunately, the custom ROM is still in its beta version so there are some issues with it. Among them is the playback feature. For the LS/VS 980, there is an added issue involving the cellular network.

On the upside of things, Rashed97 promises to update the custom ROM accordingly so that it will be free of issues eventually. So if you are a G2 user and are showing interest for the custom ROM, then you can apply the update manually by following the procedure below.

2. A minimum of 50% battery life to ensure no disruption when installation is taking place.
3. CM12 ROM ZIP downloaded for the G2.
4. Google Apps Package downloaded.

Flashing Instruction

2. Boot device into recovery mode and wipe cache, data and system partition.
3. Flash the CM12 ROM.
4. Then, Flash the Google Apps Package.
5. The G2 should reboot and it will run on the Lollipop OS.
