Hoping you guys could help me out a little bit here...I;ve already tried asking this in the cdma development section, in the aosp rom threads. I use Clear Wireless for my 4g provider on my phone, but everytime I try and install an aosp rom, it must always change my realm, but any of the aosp roms that claim they have the 4g working never seems to work for me, and I have no way to change the realm because of lack of dialer codes. I flash back to a sense rom, and the realm is indeed back to sprintpcs instead of clearwire-wmx.net. I know changing hboots will change information like that, but I am keeping the same hboot. I change it back to clear, flash an aosp rom, and the same thing happens. I never get a connection. Does anyone know where in the rom it makes these changes? I've already tried the default_tree.xml in the /system/wimax, but that didn't work. Anyone else know how else I can make the change in the rom before flashing since I can not make the change after flashing?
up!

Currently I have a HTC Touch Pro with Sprint, the ROM has never been changed since I got it, I have modified many things about it but I have never gotten as deep as flashing ROM's. I'd like to do this without bricking my phone so I am sort of paranoid about being careful doing this.
Basically, I am canceling with Sprint and I want to change my ROM to work with the Verizon/Alltel network so I am able to activate it on the PagePlus network. I know there are many things to go through on this forum that probably answer my question.. but I don't know where to start.
Are there already instructions for this somewhere or could somebody give me some? Any help is appreciated.

You have to unlock your device before being able to flash a rom on it. The flashing and the transferring of the device to another carrier are two separate matters. If I were you (and considering that Verizon tech support are not the smartest, or the brightest), I would leave the device with the stock rom, take it to Verizon, have them add the device to their network, and then unlock and flash a new rom. I have a tutorial on how to flash to other roms (look in my signature), but do it only when you are ready.
Good luck!
Hey guys, so I just ordered an Eris which I intend to use on MetroPCS.
I just want to make sure that I'm doing all this in the correct order..
So, fist thing is that I need to make sure that the phone has 2.1 on it in order to use the 1 click root solution(love )
-Though if my phone isn't 2.1..how do I upgrade without rooting so that I can root?
Next, I need to choose a rom to use. I found the read first sticky listing all the most current roms and radios and other info on how to actually install them.
-Though, since the thread is closed are they really all the latest?
Lastly, I need to Flash (not sure if that is actually the correct terminology) the phone's settings over to Metro using the file found here.
I think that's the basic direction that I need to take. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
I am in the dark about a couple things, though I'm not sure I need to understand them.
I know the kernel is a central part of the OS, but doesn't it come with the rom you choose? Why would you need to flash the Kernel, is it just to update your rom without actually changing your rom?
Also, what's with recovery images and what's an RUU?
Finally, how do I pick a rom that's right for me!? There seem to be so many and I'm not sure which are the most recent/functional/fast..
Anyway, you guys are awesome for all you do and I hope that this thread can be useful to someone besides just me.
Thanks again!!

Probably once you get the phone it will already have the 2.1 official OS or you can update it through the Settings and have it check for updates. I would suggest that you try xtrSense. I have no clue on the Metro settings though but I would imagine once you get a good ROM flashed that all you have to do is to just install the settings.
Thanks, yeah..I think that link that I posted takes care of the metro settings..at least it says it does.
I didn't think I would be able to do an over the air update because I was assuming that it was DL'd from a verizon server. Does the update to 2.1 come from a typical internet source that can be accessed from any network?
I just installed a custom rom onto my AT&T Thrive/P506 for the first time, and everything is coming up with weird graphical glitches/colors.
I've tried both the CM7 and devoid ROMs, but both are doing the same thing. The initial LG screen looks fine, but once the ROM loads I only get a weird blue/green screen. I followed the directions as stated. It appears as though a graphics driver or something is not being installed properly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am in the same boat. Can anyone help please !!!
Btw Dangelone, what does your phone model say in About Phone.
I have the same problem to. I kept the stock rom and flashed the kernel and i got the same thing too. Im starting to think it's just the kernel that messes up the screen.
Anyone got a rom that works for the LG thrive P506? Most roms give messed up color display but functions all work.
I hope someone at least tries to make one, I can't because I have no idea where to start. I'm starting to think that the devs wouldn't even want to try since this is a lower-end Android phone and that they higher-end ones are more exciting. But for the goodwill of the community maybe there will be one good person who will attempt to make a fully functional custom rom for us LGP506 owners.
backup ur stock kernel, flash custom rom, then restore stock kernel?
About 4 months ago I installed a Rom to my girlfriends vibrant and it has been AWESOME compared to the stock touchwiz and compared to any of the roms I ever installed(tried all of them) for my HD2 and the few roms I have tried on my new-to-me Fascinate. The ROM just feels so cushy smooth, scrolling,resizing ect touch commands are almost iPhone-like and the stock UI has perfect icons, colors ect. I just can't say enough good things about this phone now.
I lost the original thread I got the rom from. The build shows "Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution by SGT" but I believe it's been ported from the i9000 as I had to flash a i9000 bootloader that I assume has been modified for the vibrant.
Is there any way I can get this rom onto my Fascinate? It seems hard to believe others aren't aware of this rom but a search for "simply honey" in the fascinate section and sub sections has returns zero results.
If you don't see it in the Dev forum, it's not available for the Fascinate.
The hardware on the SGS line is different enough (particularly between GSM and CDMA variants) among carriers that flashing a ROM from a different carrier is a fast track to bricksville.
Your best bet, if you REALLY want a particular ROM is to get the sources from the developer of that ROM and start working on your own version (porting it, as it were), or convince the dev to start working on a Fascinate version of it.
Also: Never ever ever flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone. If it works at all, you'll be flashing all the way back to DL09 (and probably repartitioning, as well) to get back to square one.

As I said, it's not mentioned in any of the sub forums according to the search and nowhere on my google search either so I realize it's probably not available but I posted hoping someone would post with information directly relating to experience with the ROM and maybe developer inside info or information to another ROM with similar refinement.
Hi All,
Had my Verizon G3 for a bit now and everything was grand.... pre-lollipop. Post-Lollipop I've been stuck with the no notifications while on WiFi bug and for someone who spends literally 98% of my time on either my home or work WiFi this has simply become untenable for me. I'd like to root and go to, preferably, a Lollipop ROM that is not plagued by the same issues, or if I have to go back to KitKat then a ROM based on that (or perhaps there is a non-rooted solution here?).
All these things said, I've done the root/custom ROM thing back in the days of my Droid Incredible and honestly found it quite off putting to have to constantly keep up to date with ROM updates / Kernel updates / Radio updates, etc. and a lot of those even requiring wiping the phone.
My question to you fine folks is, has the game changed a bit to be a bit more friendly to like a kind of all-in-one here is your ROM/everything package, install it and get going type deal? Or is that still a pipe dream?
I appreciate that there are some steps involved prior to the installing of the ROM and I'm not opposed to those at all, I'm more worried about the nightmarish endless cycle of updates that require wipes / resets / etc. in order to fix the myriad of bugs that used to pop their heads up. I simply just want a ROM to get me through the next year or so until I can move along - and *gasp* allow me to get updates while on WiFi while having the core of the phone still functional.
Perhaps my concerns are those of days past, so please forgive my ignorance.
Any info on the topic and possible ROMs to look into (I was looking at Resurrection Remix) would be much appreciated.
Thanks! :good:

At this point, most any ROM you install will require updating. There are really no ROMs that are completely trouble free.
That said, running stock rooted may be your best choice. Rooting stock will allow you the option to block OTA updates. With root you will also be able to remove any pesky apps you do not require from LG.
Thanks for your insight. Perhaps I'll look at rooting and running a stock KitKat based ROM. If you could possibly point me in the direction of finding stock KitKat ROMs to flash to it would be much appreciated.
(sorry for posting in the wrong forum the first time)
Thanks
Jasmine 4.0 is a good 4.4 ROM. It can be found in the 7.0 thread. Just look in the first few posts. Sky dragon is also good.
Don't most roms have OTA's built in anymore? I had roms on my S4 and never had to worry, I would update and be fine, 0 wipes updating roms (Unless I was changing roms completely) and even then I have everything back up regularly so there is no hassle getting it all back.

I know some of the custom CM12 and CM12.1-based ROMs I've tried have a potentially working OTA method built into the ROM. For various reasons they're not all necessarily implemented just yet, though - probably because there's just too many constant updates to the source code to make OTAs realistic.

Very true. I do know though that CM does have OTAs. I think another part is that most CM 12 and 12.1 based roms don't change the source for the update. So you won't get any since it is no longer a CM rom and it isn't looking for the one you are using.
Stay off the nightly train and you won't have to update much at all. A dirty flash every couple of months, topped with some Gapps. I get notifications on wifi all the time. Only stock ROM tries to force you to update anyway.
