The G2 has no active maintainer (Ricardo Cerqueira / arcee / rmcc) and is still running with a modem and kernel corresponding to the Jelly Bean version. The current maintainer has lots of patches waiting to be reviewed in the Gerrit and is ignoring them.
If the current management model of CM allows this to happen, it can be safely assumed the quality of this ROM leaves a lot to be desired.
- parktheredcar 12y agoThe support of a single device reflects the quality of the project overall?
- mahouse 12y agoWhen it's one of the most sold phones, yes.
- 01Michael10 12y agoIrreverent... What don't you understand about the maintainers are volunteers?
- mahouse 12y agoHe got lots of LG phones as a compromise that he would develop for them... so...
- 01Michael10 12y agoWho is giving this person these phones?
- mahouse 12y agoI can't remember well, this was like 2 years ago, or even more, but I think it was LG, as part of their compromise with the developers, or God knows what.
- 01Michael10 12y agoNo, LG is probably not giving phones to someone to develop a custom ROM. Even if a person was given a G2 I am sure by now they have a newer phone so it would not really be much of an incentive.
- 01Michael10 12y agoAre you suggesting CyanogenMod threaten the current maintainer with violence to get him to do something? That would be their only option as all the maintainers are volunteers. Hopefully someone else will step up and take over the G2 maintenance.
