Root List of phones that can be ported (in theory)

[SykkNyzz]

This will give us a closer look as to what phones the LG Volt's GPU and CPU is in relevance to other phones with similar specs (Adreno 305 and SnapDragon 400)
If y'all can help with what is here we can get closer to having more roms that are at least KitKat worthy for the Volt.

LG G2 Mini LTE

Reorganized until i filter them

Caterpillar Cat has Lollipop. I think its 5.1.1. Google points to xda. Never checked though. Was busy tinkering with my galaxy j3 where Samsung pretty much has an exploit in their system that lets you have all the free themes you want from their store just by moving one simple file from one folder to another folder. Their loss not mine.

Bonus points for any phone that has 5.0+ and the same cameras (IMX179, IMX219) or NFC sensor (PN544). At minimum we can harvest libraries to make ROMs more compatible.

msm8226 and msm8626 can have portions harvested, msm8926 will be the most compatible. Only the 8926 has LTE.

I hope it's considered completed

I hope that since this has been shortened we can figure it out

You can also add the LG Fx0/LGL25 to that list. It's based on the x5, but crossbred with the LG AKA, with which it shares 16gb storage, 1.5gb ram, and a 720p JDI panel -- otherwise its mostly the same as an x5. Pn547, imx179. It has a variant of the g2m battery (2440/2370) though.

Its all KitKat though, and Firefox OS. The LG AKA does have Lollipop though, that'd be another option maybe.
