I have an LG Optimus M and it would be appreciated if someone could develop a ROM for it. You can find the LG Optimus community at androidforums .com/lg-optimus-m Thanks alot.
I recently purchased the Optimus M and am seconding this request for a ROM.
I would also like to see this happen. Thanks in advance!
Maybe you guys should setup a beer fund.
By the way, I'll have a look at it.
Edit:
And yes, I've taken this from a topic on Androidforums, but it is true. I don't have an Optimus M myself, so:
1) I need a dump of your system.img (replacement apks for people that deleted them by accident).
2) Boot.img (which includes the necessary files like the kernel).
3) Splash.img (to take a look or change metro splash screen.
4) recovery.img (to make a modified recovery).
Edit2:
And a phone to test it on. Beer fund anyone?
i have manage to get a bin not img file and all of the apks
ill send it through message

Thanks dude, that files are vital! I've already found a custom recovery, now I'll just have to optimize it for the Optimus M. The key-layout is different but that can easily be fixed by replacing default.prop (or build.prop, not completely sure. I can't check it now, I'm on another laptop now)
I'd really appreciate if people could help testing the recovery once it has been published. It won't brick your device.
I would be willing to test it, as long as nothing bad could happen.

There's a slight little chance it explodes like a nuke when it boots, but except for that little issue, it won't do any damage.
Hey, just thought I'd jump in. I'm pretty much new to smartphones. Since I found xda, I've managed to read enough to learn root explorer, root my Optimus M, delete the bloatware, change the boot, learn adwlauncher and download rom manager.
So how can I help make a custom ROM happen? I think I know enough to flash my own device, except for the recovery/backup stuff worries me.
*Also, my roommate deleted browser.apk on his optimus m (rooted obv), factory reset a few times and has the usual broke market/google problems. Any hope for his phone; he has phone insurance w/metro.
Thank you

I think I'm going to base it on an Optimus S/One ROM, all the Optimus phones are pretty similar under the hood.

Yeah I was already thinking of it. I'll take it in consideration. I'm hoping to finish the recovery today!
Edit:The recovery is finished, I replaced the kernel and build.prop. It will be online soon, with a guide included!

Wait wait wait. BTW hi fellow dudes from androidfourms.
You said after the update. Is he working with the files from 2.2.1 and not 2.2?
We need a custom recovery, kernel and rom for 2.2!! Not the evil 2.2.1.
Plus the source for 2.2 for the Optimus M has been released and can be found here: www .lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp and choosing "Mobile Phones" from the dropdown menu and typing in LGMS690
If this guy needs the 2.2 files and not the 2.2.1 file they are obtainable.
I was gonna test this recovery but not if it's the 2.2.1 version.

I'm in contact with this guy. We're discussing the plans and who does what.
I'm in contact with this guy too as he is also an active member of the androidfourms sub-forum for the Optimus M and has since downgraded his phone back to 2.2 after he gave you the Boot.img, System.img & Recovery.img. Those ones were more than likely from 2.2.1 which running stock was unabled to even be rooted.
You say you want testing done but by your wording you seem to want to keep this all hush, hush. If that's the case no bother. If you want no extra help then so be it.
I will provide he proper files for 2.2 though.

no sorry my bad does are the 2.2 files not the 2.2.1..that i pull out of the androidforums
So then this recovery is built from 2.2 files correct? And have you personally tested it?
F*** it we'll do it live!!!!! LOL!
I'm about to flash this thing to my phone even though we have no custom rom to use with it yet. Pray for a good outcome.
In my last phone I was able to swap in and out bootanimation.zips with no issues or worries. But now I see the .qmg files. I have searched threads and google and see some .qmg editors but not really seeing too much that I am familiar with.
I just basically want to be able to swap in and out bootanimations at will and not worry about these .qmg files OR somehow convert bootanimation.zips (or the jpgs they contain) to a .qmg file.
Any direction would be great.
Stock ROM/Kernal (for now-still trying to narrow down what I want compared to what is avaiable). Only had the phone for two weeks now and feeling her out with simple tweaks to test the waters so to say.
Well, you can't use bootanimation.zip with stock Samsung kernel. You'll need to flash (probably more likely in your case, Odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel from supercurio, which a quick Google search will get you the thread) a voodoo kernel since those have been modified to use bootanimation.zip. there isn't a way around this.

That is what I figured but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Seems that is why I have been running into road blocks in my Google-idge of how to convert .qmgs to .zips. Darn Samsung and their wizardry. Like I said, I am just testing the waters for the first few weeks until I commit, but I thank you for your help.
This one is difference than Da_G one. Da_G one is perm root but it will increase flash counter. This one flash with Odin but in system level not boot kernel
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c3cd812/n/att_note_root.zip
please elaborate ?
i'm a bit confussed
Where is the file?
im guessing what he means is that when you flash this via odin it will give you root perms UNTIL you reboot then you will no longer have root kinda like the temp root the evo3d started with
Hi,
I think what Mashi meant to say and didn't explain too well is that this is a pre-rooted /system image, in the form of system.img.ext4 inside of a pda.tar to be flashed via odin.
Both ways result in a permanently rooted system partition, just this way flashes it directly, leaving the stock kernel intact, whereas my method flashes a modified kernel which then roots the /system partition via a script.
Apparently the download site he uploaded it to doesn't allow non-premium users to download files that large.

+1. I decided i don't want to mess with flashing roms and kernels with this phone, i just want root so i can block adds and restore my titanium backups from old phone.
Well... a friend got one and wants root as well, and my first thing I told him, pull system, root it, (add su to /system/bin and superuser.apk to /system/app) then flash it back with Odin.
Can anyone tell me that would not work? It sounds like that is what this is...

Sense will likely never happen unfortunately. Ics is only a material of time... just need a leak for our device, the int leak doesn't really help as there is too many differences hardware wise.

Hello all ... im still pretty much a noob when it comes to cell phone .. i just bought a Samsung galaxy note (bell sgh-i717m in Canada)
I wanted to have access to Root for the applications and the cpu speed change (was at 1.12 ghz and supposed to be 1.5 ghz).
I read a lot of posts and found in majority things from Mashi, Da_G etc.
After i tried one method with the odin 1.85 and file AT&T Note Root.zip (532 meg) which was said to just give root access and not change the whole phone ...
After rebooting my phone ... ATT animation at the boot !!! and after that a big big lag when i try to type in text or try to type in number even on dial pad to make a call !!!
HELLPPP !! lol i would not mean that much the AT&T animation but the whole phone with it and that HUGE lag !
Is there any way for me to bring that back to Bell stock ? if so, any of you would have that huge file for me to flash my beast back to Bell with a .tar file through ODIN or other ways if you know something that could help me ?
Update 1 ... i found this file GalaxyNoteRootI717.zip which helped me to get rid of the lag by flashing with their file but i am still stuck with AT&T applications and all = still missing the Bell system and all
Thanks in advance,
zykio.
I would help but i have no clue as how to rip the whole rom.

Here is what i got from DA_G for that purpose i know that a ton of people would like to have the Whole system and such of Bell stock like me to get it back as it was from Bell.
From DA_G
"From adb inside booted ROM:
(note system.img will be 1GB, compress it before upload)
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
If you have installed my rooted recovery or kernel, don't bother pulling those images as they will have been overwritten. Currently we have everything for AT&T, Rogers kernel, and TELUS kernel. Need Rogers system/recovery, bell kernel/recovery, and telus system/recovery to build stock archives for those."
Thanks to DA_G. and thanks to you if you can make that image ...

THanks for replying Wish777 ...
What i was trying to do is to repair a mistake i did ...
Wanting to just root my Bell SGH-I717M i did a whole system flash instead of just what i needed for the root and now instead of a phone that brings me Bell for the whole of the phone i have AT&T all across ... AT&T ready 2 go if i reset, AT&T Navigator for the gps .. etc etc .. the icon for the radio is not the same when i get on 4G or LTE etc ..
Overall, now it is not laggy and it is rooted but i miss the rest of it to be back as a Bell Stock but rooted.
If someone pull the Bell stock like we have in Canada for the Galaxy note SGH-I717 and let me put my hand on that i would be back to a phone like i bought from Bell but rooted then.
Thanks again to whoever will help me with that

I did thank you wish777 for your search as i know, trust me, that it is not easy to find the whole nine yards as Bell ... People will still need the untouched (if possible) Bell everything (probably people like Mashi, Da_G etc... would love it too) to fix problems or figure other stuff around for Bell users like me.
For now i got files on my pc .. ok it is Bell all the way but with root and CMW4 for me it is ok for now as i want it rooted and with Bell (counter trigger and stuff is not really relevant for me after the mistake i did = too late until they find a way to reverse it) ...

Also, blue, is there any way you can back up your phone, revert to pure stock, and then upload that? I am fine with CWM, but I know a lot of people would want pure stock and the devs are actually looking for someone to do that. If you can that would be amazing, regardless thanks a lot for all of your help, and the OP as well along with Wish.

I also see reading isn't your strong suit. Either that or you simply do not know the difference between a stock and a custom ROM. Stock ROMs come direct from Dell. The link I provided has many stock ROMs, already extracted from their packages and ready for modification.
