The LG G2 is now running on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop but the update didn’t come from the South Korean manufacturer. Instead, it came from XDA’s Rashed7. The lad launched his custom ROM last week and it contains the latest Android OS.
In detail, Rashed97 shared that the custom ROM is developed solely for the G2 D800, D801, D802, LS980, and VS980 models. Rashed97 also admitted that the custom ROM is still in its early stages so there are issues with it.
Even so, the lad was kind enough to share that the issues are limited to the video playback functions and the GPS feature. For the LSV80 and the VC980, there is an added issue with the cellular network. The upside to this is that Rashed97 promises to send out a fixing accordingly.
So if you are a G2 user that has yet to get a taste of the Lollipop OS, you can check out the following instruction:
Pre-requisite
1. Make sure a backup is created and the device is already rooted with CWM. We recommend doing so with NANDROID.
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.
