Hi there,
This is mainly directed at devs. How come there are no roms being made for the P768?
The source codes are available for this phone, even for the jelly bean version of firmware. They can be found here. I'm not sure what the prerequisites are for building a rom for a phone, but we have source codes, the ability to unlock the bootloader, root, CWM. Is there anything else that is needed?
Sorry if this all sounds ignorant, I don't know anything about custom rom production, I wouldn't even know where to start
Im just curious, as the 760/765/769 all have CM10 in production and there hasnt been anything for us 768 users, I feel like us 768 users are being left out of the custom rom party
Thanks, donk
p768 user here, hope some one compile cm10 for our variant.
Patiently waiting for this also, hopefully soon.
sounds like we have some test pilots lining up. im down for testing also if anyone gets the ball rolling...

i already tried official cm p760 to our variants. then it works, but had a problem to fix.
Many testers but no developers haha I'm down with this.

I guess on of the reasons is because the 768 isnt as popular and the current devs dpnt have the phone themselves. Also fastboot isnt the same as on 760 its more awkward to work.
I dont know what is needed from a device for development to start but the odds seem to be against us. Maybe when CM10 is fully stable, we might get a port from a kind dev

Yeah man, you should be fine. Are you already rooted? If so, use the locked bootloader method of getting CWM so you can backup your data, Lelus suggested it. I forgot about adding that into the guide.

Hmm no, i didnt yet cause i saw a tutorial in HTCmania (a spanish forum like this) where they use binary's method with v10a (the same i have), i tried but gives me an error (says that located two devices or something like that) so i thought might be 'cause the bootloader is locked that i can't do it.

+1 here i have a P778 but is the same of P768...I wait for a CMD or my device!
really excited about the development taking place here... was disappointed with the development for this model (P768) as I came from the HTC Desire and Desire S forums where development was steady and there were always a plethora of ROMs to pick from with many tweaks and much easier to accomplish rooting, s-offing guides and such.
anyhow I hope my recent ota update to V20A South Africa also simplifies the rooting and bootloader unlocking process which I must admit I have been struggling to achieve on the L9...
I have my BL unlocked and i have got the time, energy and internet connection to do all this
Could anybody help me a bit?
I built cm10.1 for p760. It booted on my 768 but with the camera and torch issue.
I followed this tutorial to try building for p768 using the boot.img of V20A
It did not boot.
I tried using the boot.img built for p760. It did boot, but the screen was not functioning properly so I couldnt check for antything else.
My guesses are that cm10.1 is based on 4.2 and the kernel i used was for 4.1 so maybe that cause the conflict.
Or I need to build a kernel specially for cm10.1.
Could anybody please help me out?

I agree!
I got his phone a while and successfully rooted it and flashed recovery CWM.
The stock is so laggy and slow. Would love a replacement.
Install CWM for the phone (which I have) by personal messaging me and I will send you the URL, silly XDA rules. -.-
also there is heaps of custom roms there that work for the t22. Trial and error, I have cm10 and a few others already on my phone. )
Sounds great. Are you able to let us know which phones roms work with T22?

I have tried a few for the Blade 3, there is quite a variety, some work some don't, but since they are nearly the exact same phone, the t22 will work with nearly any rom for the blade 3.

Found a way to unlock it for free. Tryed to follow these instructions using google translator 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=376369 its kind of a downgrade back to 2.2.3 and it worked, now I just have to get back to ics
Name of a custom rom?
Any have a rom that WILL work with the t22?
Thanks for your time, much appriciated!
Plenty of Roms on Modaco, I think it is, just search up Blade3 Cyanogenmod and it should come up with one by Konstang.
Sent from my LG-E975K using xda premium
Stock Rom?
Hi there,
2 things: yes, you can install many Blade3 ROMs in the T22, and the most popular that is confirmed to work is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod (you can install 10.2, but it still needs official development from Qualcomm before FM Radio and Bluetooth work, so I suggest 10.1), compiled by developer KonstaT.
As I have the New Zealand version of this device, I can confirm it works well, and will certainly do so here. However:
I advise against doing it if you don't know how to backup and restore a nandroid, purely because there are NO STOCK ROMS available from either ZTE or Telstra websites, and without that backup, you'll have no choice but to void any warranty you may have had if you neglected to do so! Even I find that idea annoying, and yet I don't have that problem!
Just a friendly warning from a cousin across the ditch.
Thanks I'll check it out.

My dad has a T-Mobile LG Optimus L9 769 and I'm planning on rooting it and putting a custom ROM on it. I see that the device has different versions and the ROMs for the LG phone are labeled according to their versions. Getting to my question, is it possible to put a P760 ROM on a P769 phone? I've tried my best to look through the Q&A's and the General forum for this information but I did not find it. Thanks in advance.

Possible but not recommended. And that's a stock rom, not a custom one. Also unlocking bootloader isn't for newbies so i wouldn't flash a custom rom until you know more about stuff. So your dad wouldn't beat the crap outta you.

From what I've read you will get an inverted screen if you flash a P760 rom on P769 because of the screen size difference.

Don't let looks deceive you LOL . I've looked at the steps and its kind of similar to the G2X bootloader unlock and custom recovery. I looked at the thread to unlock the bootloader and I see that there is no known way to re-lock it so I might not even s-off the phone for warranty purposes.

ok i have a lgms769 from metropcs i flashed the t-mobile 20vf kdz( the lg p769) i have root but cant unlock bootloader or install recovery but i have root, i had it unlocked til i flashed a wrong rom and had bricked it.
someone please help
+1 this.I'm not gonna even bother flashing a TMO ROM. Too much headache.
I'm also frustrated that there are no kdz files or ROMs specifically for the L9 MetroPCS version.
Lgms769 is exactly like P769. Another thing (to OP) you would know if you unlocked the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader requires flashing euro kdz 20b, and you will mess your phone up if you don't do some reading.

Yes it operates fine on the T-Mobile ROM. MetroPCS and T-Mobile have merged together.

On OP is a tweak to add move 2 sd, and a swap script that will allow you to install large games. Since you have rom toolbox just use it to change the build.prop and add the swap script (set at boot)

Metro already allows moving to SD card. That's where the script idea came from I believe

I added it to the build.prop, not unless they changed something when it finally came out. That option was not present in the build.prop of the kdz I got from lg. I found this out by comparing the build.prop of wind and T-Mobile.

No brother, this phone is definitely a nightmare. Unlocking the bootloader is the tricky part. I haven't tried myself, can't afford for my phone to be down while attempting to unlock the bootloader. There are those who have succeeded on the first try and there are those who have tried many times and failed.
If you have plenty of free time on your hands, then I'd give it a shot. But, before you do, make sure you have LGs drivers installed on your PC as well as the OMAP4 fastboot drivers. Because of the OMAP4 fastboot drivers, this phone is practically unbrickable. Just search the threads in the L9 forums for 'fastboot'.
As for your device getting old, I still have a Optimus One variant, P509, that's still running today. And there's a KitKat ROM for it too. I really wish the L9 was as easy to manage as my Optimus T is.
Best of luck
Thank you for the reply I'll check it out because this is my only mobile right now. Might have to rethink it. I read the whole thread and noticed that this so-called "devil phone" is not worth the effort. Next time I will just purchase a mobile that has been boot-loader unlocked and root potential and be done with it..lol
Cheers!

You can make a poll I guess?
For me, I cannot justify the benefit of custom rom + 720p video vs. a fully-working excellent-battery-life modified stock with 1080p video capture
Moto Defy has even more roms and a locked bootloader imposible to unlock. I have a p768 and im really enjoying cm10.1.3. Its a lot better than stock in many ways.

me too. CM is a beautiful and stable rom. I hope in future someone will fix 1080p recording...
I am not debating the value of stock vs. custom roms guys. I have a rooted G1 and an HD2 and about 4 more rooted devices so I know the value of rooting. I was only wondering about custom roms for the L9 since all I read is issue after issue with rooting and devs leaving this phone for a different one.
I'm one of the lucky few.

The phone is great, but LG locking up the bootloader killed it for everyone. Tho I was lucky enough to have an unlockable one I still may just consider switching to another device. The trouble with the bootloader is enough to slow down progress and that alone is a good enough reason to convince me to find something better. I'm not considering LG unless my next option is the G2 or N5. I'd even be content with an N4.

i think your confusion root with unlocked. we can mod the stock rom and we so. but its all done by hand by you not simply flashing a new one and no updates will work you will need to reflash stock non rooted using the tools hear. you will be stuck with the rom you have when they quit updating the device. i agree don't think i will be buying another lg phone but a nexus 5 because nexus products are easily unlocked etc by one simple adb command.
I have a question. @Lelus, @leolawliet, @kuma82, is there any way to package a ROM as a KDZ and flash using the offline flash method? Or is that a ridiculous thought?

I know someone who managed to make cwm flashable ROMs out of .kdz firmwares, but not of someone who managed to repackage the .kdz.
The most common response to these types of posts are to flash them and see for yourself bro. But in this case im flashing for a friend, and wont have access to flash them all and test it first. Anyone know of a stable ICS. JB or KK Rom that has working features like camera and bluetooth?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have on this matter.:silly:
Let's start off with "what's the model number?"
Next question is...did you unlock the bootloader? Many have made the mistake of installing 2nd init cwm and then flashing a CM 11. Which gives the familiar security error.

+1, nameless ROM is the best that could have happen to us, bugs are usually gone pretty quickly, both the namelessrom.org forums and the xda thread are helpful, bunch of cool features (I'm in love with the heads up function), and it seems like it'll go like this long enough to become a favorite. Also, don't be afraid of using these nightly releases, they all feel like a solid everyday use ROM. Just teach your friend how to use the update center to update his ROM when a new version is out, that is, everyday, or tell him to use the weekly releases instead.
