Stock Lollipop on LG G3 (D850)

[chargerjake]

Hello all,

 

So I've recently switched to Android from my iPhone 6. (Loving it, by the way.) I've liked the proprietary LG version of Lollipop, however I like the Google stock version of Lollipop a lot more. I've been researching how to install the stock version of Lollipop on there however I'm getting a bit confused, as I was a previous iOS user and don't understand much Android stuff, yet. So, could anyone explain to me how I can install stock Android 5.1 on a D850 LG G3?

I recommend that you watch a video on how to flash Cyanogenmod on the G3. Cyanogenmod is a custom ROM which is based on stock android but with a lot of amazing tweaks and extras. I'm using CM 12.1 on my Nexus 5 and prefer it a lot over stock lollipop. You basically have to install a custom recovery and flash a few .zip files after you completely wiped your phone.

 Would you have a video already ready?

1. Unlock the Bootloader and install a custom recovery
