I'm not sure where to post this sorry if I added an unneeded thread all. However, I needed to know if the Lg Optimus C from Cricket will work using some of the other Optimus Roms such as Optimus V and such. I know they are the same phones different carriers, I also know the source codes have to match for the roms to work (or something like that).
I am asking this question cause I plan on buying the Lg Optimus C, however, I don't want to buy the phone if I can use custom roms and themes and such with the phone. I know I can boot the phone into clockworkmod recovery, Just not sure if there are any custome roms on this site that I can use with the phone that will work with Cricket service.
I do have slight experience using clockworkmod and flashing roms using my Zio M6000 Cricket phone, but haven't messed with an Lg Optimus C at all yet.
Any answers to my questions would be greatly appreceated. Thank you.

CM7 ported to LG optimus C
here is a thread concerning the port of AOSP cyanogenmod v7 to optimus C (that is a gingerbread ROM) if you are interested, that is the only thing i have seen here.
Hi i got a question i was looking under the wrong s2 section for a while like the 1900 etc. is it possible for us to flash these roms to our att sg2 ur will it brick the device? the only reason i ask is because we have like maybe two different roms for our phone and that sucks.
just really want to know so good roms to flash and if we can flash maybe like tmobiles roms or anybodys
thanks for your time
beware
only flash roms created for your phone. jmho.
No, you can't directly flash I9100 ROMs.
Eventually a proper porting methodology will probably be determined, but most people have been too busy with initial bringup efforts.
As an example, look at Perception - that's an I9100 port. It IS very easy to port I9100 ROMs for an experienced ROM dev, however, there isn't an "automated" porting method like Hellraiser on the Infuse yet. It just isn't a priority right now.
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!

Hey! Anyone of u guys have a bit know On phones and OS? I just began with Android kernel yesterday. Need resources and know how. Maybe together we can create an unofficial CM7 or CM9 port from the p690 port which is available.

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.
Just got a P503 that I'm trying to set up for my girlfriend. I know how to use KDZ update and LGMDP. I got a custom recovery on it. I understand the difference between the basebands.
The problem is I can't make any sense out of the Development section. Also, a lot of the links are down (multiupload and megaupload).
This thread: [ROMS] Original LG Firmware list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479, doesn't seem to work. I also have the the "Original LG Firmware" download tool, don't remember which thread I got it from, which is supposed to download the latest firmware for the phone. It downloads a V10K_00.kdz. I thought all of the firmwares were V20 by now, or am I wrong?
I'm looking for either 1) latest stock rom, preferably with Chinese language (she's Chinese), also can be slightly modified, maybe over-clockable, or 2) good stable gingerbread based MIUI rom. Can someone help me out?
If you know of another rom that is either as stable as stock, or more stable, and has an extremely easy to use interface, also please let me know. After I give the phone to my girlfriend, I don't want her calling me everyday with problems because of the phone.
Also, as far as I can tell, the P500 and P503 are the same phone with different firmware right? Any firmware compatible with the P500 can be used on the P503. I even saw a few threads where people mentioned LG customer support said this.
Dynamite
Try dynamite.. It's there in the O1 development section. It is based on the stock ROM. I've personally tried it, it's really good and I switched to other ROMs only because I missed the customisation that CyanogenMod offers...
take a look at this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616069
it's has the iOS user interface (and i think that this one IS extremely easy to use interface),based on CyanogenMod nightly and it available in Chinese....
Now it's up to you to see if it is stable enough to your girlfriend
I looked at and installed the JoyOS. It's nice, got a lot of great features. But it just doesn't feel as awesome as the MIUI on my U8800. It might be a difference in the phone, or it might be the Chinese apps I'm installing with it for my girlfriend, or it might be the OS. Not sure. I'll try Dynamite tomorrow.
However, if anyone knows of a really stable MIUI rom, please let me know. The ones I've seen have problems with apps installed to the SD card.

You know what you really need to do is do the research yourself, post in the correct section for a question and basically decide what you want from the Rom.
In my opinion for speed you should go for one of the cm Roms although on latest jelly bean versions there is no official support from Samsung so the Rom lack in features you get from a Samsung Rom.
You can safely download and enjoy roms from all the big names in outer forum, they are all slightly different, be it aesthetically or through their features. Try the original section as a starting point, do some reading, some flashing and trying of differ things and make your own mind up on what you like.

Just try the ROMs yourself, pretty simple/basic and much easier than creating a thread and waiting for enough responses to matter
DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
