Flashed it yesterday. Love it.
As far as I know, no binaries are needed for the screen when compiling a ROM. The GPS, CPU, Camera, BT, I'm sure I'm missing one but those are the usual ones with issues. At least when ROM cooking. You can often grab the old ones from Vendor files of previous versions.
Nothing cast in stone and it is all rumor and speculation. But if the article is in fact true I'd expect to see very little future support.

Recently bought an LG phone because it met my needs, if I had known this info, might have put a damper on it. But that doesn't change the fact that the phone had what I wanted when I bought it. Going to have trouble finding a replacement phone.
LG actually has a lot of innovative devices coming out right now. They have the LG Flex, the G2, etc. I don't think they are done by any means. If anything they are pursuing some of the most innovative products to date.

I read that too. But, this is my thought on the subject. The market is highly driven by the latest and the greatest and with all the carriers moving towards a model that allows people to "upgrade early" for a fee... then there is no reason for the phone manufacturers or carriers to push out more than one update as long as people are buying new phones. It used to be that a flagship phone would have longer than 6 months on the top of the list, now with many carriers, they have more than one flagship and they seem to be getting bumped pretty quickly. .. unless you own a Nexus/GED phone
As long as there is a strong Dev community then I expect we will be able to upgrade to the latest and greatest OS advancements for quite a while after LG drops support. So.... KEEP THAT G2 and be happy!!!

Not to mention that LG has publicly denied the info in that article. Only time will tell.

That is a really bad excuse to not like this phone. Who cares about official updates. Thats what awesome devs like the ones we have working on this phone are for.
First I never said I didn't like it. In fact the first line I said I love it. What I didn't like is the fact that at the time it didn't look like LG was going to offer future support. There are many of us that care about that.
Speaking for myself I do not flash ROMs on my phones anymore. They are my daily driver and I don't want potential down time. If I get the urge to flash I do it on my Nexus 7 for the simple fact that if something goes wrong or a ROM is buggy I am not that worried about being without it for a few days.
I love the fact that the development community is embracing the G2. But there are those of us that are still going to rely on OEM updates.

I also have largely moved away from ROMs. I need the reliability, and I was getting tired of the bugs.

I felt a little let down with LG 's announcement that they were focusing on the television side but I thought to myself I probably won't have this phone in 6 months so who cares...... Who knows that still might update this one in a timely manner and come out with a better phone for next year's flagship. These phone companies do crazy things. Look at HTC. They are going bankrupt and they release the one max which I have not heard anything good about...... It's basically a gigantic one....
Exactly how I feel. I haven't flashed a ROM on my phone since I first got the Razr Maxx. It was buggy and I decided at that point I need my phone up and running. If I had a backup it might be a different story. But I pay full price now and sell my previous phone to help the cost.

No one is being dramatic. We are having a discussion. And yes we all know this now. It was already reported last week.
LG Refutes Previous Report Suggesting They are Giving Up on Mobile & Shifting to TVs
