LG has confirmed that it has plans to provide an official bootloader unlocking solution for those who wish to install custom ROMs and other third-party tweaks on their LG smartphones and tablets. The company warns, however, that “it will take some time.”

 

I never expected LG to do this....buuuuut it's awesome that they are. This saves all of the people who are going to root and ROM their G3 a bunch of time, and I'm sure that modders and hackers will take advantage of this...somehow... (I dunno how they would, but you never know. >.>)

 

Either way, good job LG. You did something awesome.

I like this one better. I change them whenever I find one better than the one I'm currently using, no matter how many days (or hours sometimes) I've been using the avatar.

>5%

 

Pffffffffft, it's a lot more than you think. It's not just the bloatware, it's also LG's shotty Optimus UI. Trust me, I would know. I have the same phone (and model). I have it rooted and ROM'd with SlimKat now. HUGE improvements in performance and battery life.

Yay! Now I hope they keep making nexus phones (or whatever they'll be called in the future).
