Hello everyone,
I am a returning Android user - just got my G4 last week. I've had everything from the original droid to the iPhone 6. I have been away from Android for a while before coming back to the G4. So far I really like it (thought it is a bit laggy at times compared to the iPhone).
Will rooting help with this issue? Besides gaining root so that I can freeze stupid apps, are there any other current benefits to rooting this model? My understanding is that very few if any stable ROMs are available?
I have the Verizon version. I'm running 5.1. The kernel is 3.10.49-g8555e66. Software version is J14.LGE.VS896.0
So - is this one rootable? If so, what can I do? If I can flash ROMs, how difficult is it since from what I hear, the bootloader remains locked?
Thanks! (i'm sorry if these questions have been answered - i actually have been searching for the answer to no avail. I always worry a bit when I see a 'how-to-root' that is from a few months ago...makes me wonder if maybe mine is updated to the point where it's not possible). So I thought Id ask!
Peace,
Tommy
