Any rumblings on a Verizon S4 on lollipop root?

My phone is all but garbage after the lollipop OTA update. Planned obsolescence to a T. Most of my programs are now very slow, or don't even work at all. Phone is glitchy, battery sucks, new colors and pointer sucks, drops 4G all of the time, WiFi constantly drops, etc. This phone is just shite now, and I hate using the "smartphone" features it has because they don't work. I have no new programs, and nothing has changed except the update.
I have rooted every other phone, but never got around to doing this one before the lollipop update. FML, I regret that.
Have yall heard anything about all of this? I'm ready to use this phone like it has the ability to be used. The crap software on here doesn't allow me to do it right now

My LG G2 was fantastic up to the point where I mistakenly downloaded the Lollipop update without reading reviews first.
After the update, the problems started off with a battery that lasted an hour tops if I used it starting with a full charge.
The battery got worse and worse, and then my phone started turning off when it dropped below 50%. Then it started turning off after 30 seconds of use regardless of the battery charge and got to the point where, if I wanted to use the phone at all it had to be plugged in all of the time.
I bought a "new" battery and tried replacing it with the same results (although I screwed something up because I no longer get data signal - the same problems listed above still apply so it didn't really matter at this point).
I ordered a replacement G2 for cheap to get me through the next year or so before I can upgrade at a discount. Hopefully it works.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. My G2 is a dumpster fire after the lollipop update.

I regret downloading that update. I only did it because my brother has an S4 and said it was great. I forgot he thinks nothing is wrong with the S4

Ditto. Previously reliable phone has become a piece of crap.
