I have an LG Phoenix P505 on froyo and it is rooted. I want to install ROMs and create a backup through ROM Manager but my phone isn't listed there. So can someone tell me if it is safe to use the LG Optimus One P500 ROM for the Clockworkmod recovery?
nothing in this forum is safe for you to use unless stated otherwise. the only thing i have seen that is meant for your phone is this. flashing anything on your phone that is meant for the p500 will cause you to brick your phone or create a lot of problems that you will never want to find uot
Hey guys...
I'm using LG Optimus Z. Please show me install clockworkmod recovery for optimus z ( Know as Ku9500/ Su950)
Thanks very much....
I have an LG Optimus T and currently live in the US. However, I want to travel to Asia at the end of this month. Now my question is since my phone already have CM7 on it ( kernel version Thunder G) can I just go get the unlocked code, and put in it? Or do I need to revert back to the original LG STOCK ROM, unlocked it, and do the rooting again. Also, my camera isn't working at all since the day one after I put CM7 in it? Any good ROM so I can use my camera again? I tried camera 360, LG Pro but none of them work. Any "fix" around this. Thank you.
To unlock, I believe you must be on a stock rom.

ok, please don't "fry" me, but, am looking for a stock or custom rom for an optimus 1 p504, stock or custom or stripped. Not for me, but for another fellow Optimus user. I figgured seeing it's a 500 series, you folks may know of roms compatible with the 504.
Thanks for your inputs.
Wrong thread bud.
From what I understand this is simply an optimus one with different branding.
Look into it a little more and if it seems right, flash a rom. I suggest CM7 by mik_OS.
Cheers.
I recently bought my new LG Optimus Net Dual P698...
I was searching for rooting my device and installing custom and new roms (including new one = ICS)...
I found this site... unlockroot.com
but I'm little confused about rooting... can anybody help me out there... and I dont want to loose my SD Data and warranty on LG device while rooting... Or should I wait till my warranty goes off...
And some words like rooting, flashing and kernels, roms... I was using nokia n85 from 2 years and know about patches and cracks and hacks... bt never flashed rom in nokia... for android please these meanings are same ????
And please provide rooting info and roms for lg p698 and installation process...
If there are sites for all roots, roms, hacks on LG P698 then please provide me...
Thanks in adv...

For rooting, just follow the steps here. As for custom roms, haven't seen one yet. Custom Recovery for P690 still has to be verified if it'll work with P698.

I confirm the existing CWM Recovery brick my P698 today. I send it back to LG SC and may get one replacement. Root is OK but NEVER flash recovery.

True, but at least it raises the hope that we'll soon get a ROM for P698 too.
Ppl! Keep fingers crossed! I'm turning my home lab into Android kitchen. I'll need all the help I can get! Hope we get a p698 rom soon!

At last! I tired a new rom in our p698!!
Both run adw launcher is pretty cool. But personally I did not like both. One could see the battery drain in numbers, which was horrifying!
Moreover, has it ever occurred that when you are running a launcher, the phone does not sleep how long it takes or press the power button? It happens to me occasionally, and goes to sleep only if I call the LG home launcher. Does anyone know a way out?

Hey ppl, the rom from borodinka is pretty good. I've been on it and has been running smooth, much better than the stock kernel.

please update us on the custom rom, how smooth is it, and how is battery life and dual sim functionality.
what of the usual delay in making and ending calls?

OK, update on the ROMS i tried...
the one named "borodinka"
pros:
1. the roms are smaller than the stock ones, and hence got a bit more storage space free.
2. Very very smooth. ADW launcher is built in. The whole thing, including menus are smooth
3. Looks like battery life improved a bit. I remeber draining out by night, but now it stays till morining with an overnight charge
4. No Bloatware. ES FIle explorer, MX Player are built in
5. Some kind of a techie font. not sure which one. but good/you'll get used to it.
cons:
1. Phone does not lock initially. Had to install LG Home Launcher from apk i found somewhere else in the forum to get it lock. Same happens initially after every reboot. Looks like something in the LG Home is responsible for sending the phone to sleep or so.
2. no native support for PDFs (very important for me) in ES File Explorer, i wish it was AntTek File Explorer. Both the file manager and the video player are better in the SD Card (which is not possible since it comes shipped with) to save space.
3. Sometimes loses range on either or both SIMs (which was probably there with the stock ROM and thus) might be a hardware issue.
4. Touchpal keyboard seems to have issues lately. Does not show up (and renders the phone crazy) after trying to import contacts. maybe it has to do with the latest update of the app, or lack of storage in my phone.
5. has 4pda app (and that too in german) preinstalled.
6. Default APNs are not available in the apn editing page. Had to enter stuff manually. Had data connection problem once, but got it running after a factory reset.
The other one, the name which skips my mind now, has similar characteristics, which i'll review soon.
Dual sim function works as old. The Cell broadcast widget and the dual sim status widget are unavailable. Range failures are present, i guess, as in most dual sim phones.
Hello I have the LG E970 AT&T , I want to remain to stock but try new forks and variants of the stock, mostly which are debloated.
As far as I can see it is only stuck on Android ver 4.1.2 (if I am not wrong).
There is also confusion as the same model "LG Optimus G" has been released with four names/variants on different carriers/countries :
E970
E971
E973
F-180K/L/S
So I want to ask can I flash any de-branded original ROM for any of the above given models on my phone or do I have to specifically use the ROMs for AT&T E970 only.
Have searching at http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20 and http://www.lg-phones.org/official-stock-lg-optimus-g-firmware-rom.html but cannot find anything for E970.
Any guidance and link to find its stock ROM variants would be appreciated, also would be nice to know if there something available on 4.2 or 4.3
Thanks for your replies.

Use roms for the E970 only!, the other international variants have differences(no sd slot, 13 mp cam instead of 8 mp).
Of all th stock variants out there, i have tried:
Nocturnal: Has sony walkman, album and movie apps. Don't really like the boot animations though.
slickrom: LG home is missing, uses another launcher.
EG8: what i'm currently using, pretty much all bloatware removed.
There is also a JB port of the korean rom by snowleopard, but i haven't used it.
Thanks for clarifying.

This one has is stock based but has some G2 apps and features added in.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084431
Or this one as they are the only ones that have active development.
If you not adverse to trying, I would definitely recommend the f orum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880 ( [AOSPA 4.4.2 KOT49H] PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ GEEB [beta3][01/20] )
I've been very happy with the rom, no issues to report so far. Other users have commented its the one they always flash back to
If you go into the international forum they have a development section for Canada. Of you flash a att kernel after the rom it usual works
