Ok, so I have the LG Optimus T while my friend has the LG Optimus S, on her phone the Swype is a higher version of mine, while trying to update it, I messed mine up and want to bring it either back to the way it was or to the latest version. On here I found some people talking about it but I'm still new to the whole modding of mobile phones, is there someone that can help me by giving me a step-by-step idiot walkthough? I would be very appreciative. thank you

I would try your cell phone's manufactures site or swype's site.

Hi all! I post this question here because it's related to OPTIMUS family.
I am quite new to this forum and I'd like to thanks for all the helpful infos and files I could find here for my androdevices.
I am planning to buy a phone for my gf and I saw the new LG OPTIMUS LIFE (dunno if this is the name in all the countries, maybe p350?but I am not sure)
here is a link to its specs:
(3 dablius).lg.com/it/mobile/mobile-phones/LG-smartphone-android-LG-Optimus-Life.jsp
It seems to be a smaller brother of OPTIMUS ONE (p500) with half RAM and resolution for a small case and less money.
I see that this phone hasn't a official supported section in xda forum and actually I can't find any info about rooting/modding it on google.
I was wondering if some developer is planning to support it, I would be sure to buy it if I know I could root and improve it but if not maybe I can cange my mind.
My phone is an old htc sapphire 32A, and if I go on using it, its just because of the great job people is doing here, trasforming a very old device like mine in a up-to-date performing and useful smartphone. So I will try to stick to models that can benefit this.
I also think that this model could be very similar to OPTIMUS ONE p500 and maybe there is some chance that the existing p500 roms will work on OPTIMUS LIFE too...
But this is noobish talkin...
Thank you for any answer!
custom ROMs will not work .. however, it might be possible to root it using Super One Click Root ...
Thanks for repling... I will try to ask Super One Click dev for some detail about rooting it.
can you please tell me if you did it? A friend has one and I will like to know. Thanks
Hello there,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very happy 2012.
I am an phone geek and I have an LG Optimus One, neither modded nor even updated once (curses to the blasted firmware update drivers). In this community of phone users, I feel like chicken- I am scared at the very thought of toying with the OS and hardware, even though I have no fear of OEM updates. And being on a tight budget I can't afford to damage my phone due to a modding goof-up.
My question is: HOW DO YOU INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN LG OPTIMUS ONE P500(AKA THE V, PHOENIX) WITHOUT ANY MODDING?
If there is any app that safely does the task, tell me please. I use TasKiller and the memory optimizer inside NetQin antivirus.
Help me!!!!

This is what I don't want from any of you as a reply:
"Use a kernel, man."
"Why don't you root your phone?"
"Use a custom OS like CyanogenMod!"
"You should overclock your phone, it's very easy..."
and the dumbest of all replies:
"You should sell your phone and buy something like a Galaxy or Wildfire...."
or "I know a guy, he's an expert, dude, you should give your phone to him to mod..."
I won't give my phone to ANYBODY, YOU HEAR? ANYBODY!unless he's an authorized LG service engineer or so.
Waiting for a reply ASAP.
Then ask Santa Claus......

In that case it will take you some time to realize that you are the dumb one, not us.
hhhhhhhhhhhh he is like...
I know all the answers but i cant and i still want the best xD
Long explanation in short: You can't.
Yeah it's weird that you want to improve your phone while shooting down the very solutions to your problems. I know the feeling though of being scared to screw up your phone.
I screwed mine up in like three days after trying to install custom recovery. I don't know what went wrong. It was rooted just fine but this was during those times without Clockwork Recovery support and amonra needed a PC to be installed (didn't know about Terminal emulator until after). Brought the phone to LG since it was still under warranty. They fixed it a week after.
Then I went back to trying and read more and asked more questions about the stuff I was doing to my phone. The developing support for this phone is awesome. You really shouldnt be afraid anymore.
And yeah there really isnt a lot you can do to improve your phone's performance without a custom rom + a new kernel + overclocking... all of which you don't like to do
Read, read, read, read, than read some more... Hope to God you have a warranty on your phone...

Sorry, but if you want better performance without messing with the software at the very least, you need to buy a better phone.
As long as you read instructions carefully you will be fine. Most of us O1 users were first time rooters, but we pulled through. There is no app that give give you the power of a galaxy s II.

O1 is already a good performer. If you don't want to take rist, just stop visiting XDA! You'll certainly be a more satisified person, believe me!

Of course know that the Optimus can't become a Galaxy S II, but still there must be some trick that can boost the power of the phone. I finally fixed the drivers and now it's running LG's 2.3.3 Gingerbread, and there has been a huge increase. I know I am a bit shameless and crazy, but still if you know anything that could make my day, I will be happy to hear.

Use a launcher from android market instead of the LG one. It will make your homescreen and app drawer FEEL smoother without actually changing anything. I recommend Launcher Pro.
Beside that....nope, there's nothing much else you can really do. Honestly rooting, flashing roms etc is very easy and risk free if you're good at following instructions.
This thread is for the T-Mobile version P769BK only
I will be posting hacks (working ones) for Google now
Recoveries. Roms. Etc.
If there is a hack or request for a feature post it here
And I'll do my best to make that happen

there's a thread on Google now. we need to deodex our rom for it.
T-Mobile LG Optimus L9 P769?
We really need a concise thread with links to what works on T-mobile P769.
But what's a P769BK? I mean I did buy mine off some guy from craigslist and did meet him at Burger King, that count?
Rooting was slight maze with a few steps outta place or missing tiny details.
Do we have an easier bootloader unlock, other than looking in the mirror and doing the hokey pokey?

BK is the T-mobile version of the L9.
And no I don't think there is an easier way to unlock the bootloader besides the 'hokey pokey' one
Whenever we do get the JB update though, we might have more options.
The P769 P769bk and P769bkgo are all the same phone they are wind mobile t-Mobile and T-Mobile prepaid respectively.

videos would help
I would like to try and unlock my bootloader on my p769. I've unrooted and rerooted my phone twice now so I'm use to flashing the kdz files. I think it would be easier if someone made a video showing how the mirrored image and "wonky" touchscreen actually look. Plus seeing a video with someone showing the steps would be very beneficial. The forums are great though. Lots of information here.
Sorry if I had time I'd make a video for you. Its really not super hard dealing with the inverted touch it just takes a while to figure out where you're touching vs where it registers. If you touch on the left it registers on the right side etc. And it is inverted vertically as well but not in exactly the same way the threshold isn't perfectly center.
Some guy in another thread said he heard from a reliable source we're getting JB update April 24th. I don't know how reliable his info is. Also the Mexican P768 just got the jb update minus the code to unlock the boot loader. If T-Mobile did the same thing it would not surprise me at all.
So in summation wait or don't wait

Welcome back my pal. After long time. :fingers-crossed:expecting something nice for L9 from you.
Hello,
Ive read a couple of sites that suggest that there is a even bigger phone to be released by lg, called the lg g4 pro.
How realistic is this release and is there any official info on this topic?

Hello everyone.
I was recommended to check these forums so I decided to create an account.
I have had my LG V10 for almost three weeks now and I love it. I have the T-Mobile version. I came from iPhone and I always had my phone jailbroken. I wish to root my LG V10 for more freedom and to get rid of those pesky ads.
Can someone link me to a guide that will assist me in rooting my T-Mobile LG V10? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere else. Also, I would love to know what can I do or what are the things that people recommend to do after the phone is rooted.
Again, it is my first time on Android so help me out, please.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Mrs Ana.

Thanks for that.
I apologize for being new. I clearly do not understand what is being said there lol. I know what rooting is but I don't know how to follow the directions and in what order.
Can you please tell me what I have to do first? If there is a step-by-step guide, that would be awesome. I am trying to root my T-Mobile LG V10.
Thanks and again, sorry. I just do not want to mess it up.
I think you're going to have to do some googling and reading about adb first if you aren't already familiar with it.
I'm no expert. Still running stock here and havent rooted a phone since my original HTC g1 and HTC g2.
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
Not sure if you have seen it yet but at the bottom of the LG-V10 posts there is a T-Mobile LG-V10 link you might look in there that may help you out also good luck and keep asking questions no question is to dumb.
