The LG G2 is confirmed to be getting the highly anticipated Android 5.0 Lollipop update from the manufacturer. On the other hand, G2 users can skip the wait and jump straight to updating their device manually, with the aid of XDA developers.
In detail, Rashed97 has developed a custom ROM which contains the Android 5.0 Lollipop specifically for the LG G2 D800, D801, D802, LS980, and VS980 variants.
On the downside of things, there are a couple of malfunctioning features with the custom Lollipop and they are discovered to be with the video recording and GPS function on the LG G2. As for the LS/VS 980 model, they will encounter some problems with cellular data. Aside from all that, everything else works fine.
