I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??
Any way to block this ota? I have root access

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

I bought lg l9 p 765 approx.15 days back it came wth jellybean out of the box but now I want to downgrade it to ICS as I heard ICS had better battery life.so is the downgrade possible? If yes pls help me wth the process

2) restore a ICS CWM backup

Its not worth it to downgrade to ICS. You'll get your battery life back if you do a factory reset.

i got stellar battery life on ICS.. just sayin. I think it's worth trying. im on CM now, but if i wanted to go stock i would go ICS over JB all day ay day. i always axe people what JB features make it the better choice and no one seems to have an opinion.

i usually do a factory reset anytime i flash something new. when i search the world wide web it seems that people generally post about having better battery life in ics but i dunno. when i used JB i got better battery life after i nailed down a couple of wakelocks but still no comparison to ics. so now that we know results can vary, seems like a worthy experiment for op.
Okay, well, for a while I was trying to get bootloader unlocked on p769, and couldnt figure it out.. and had the wonky touch screen and what not.. so I had to use cwm restore, and flash radio/touch fix .. and im currently on v10g ICS.. but something is weird.. ive noticed my screen is less responsive.. like I have to click things multiple times, or push harder then usual.. is this abnormal to happen after what i've done? or am I just crazy and its not really as unresponsive as it seems?(which I swear it is.. its weird)

It's the KDZ you have. ICS is no where near as smooth as JB. The reason being that JB has Project Butter, and the ICS ROM for our phone was poorly designed/handled/released.
If you flash up to JB again, you'll have that buttery goodness once again ^-^

Flashing with R&D tool comes with risk. You can get a security error, won't operate, or crash while flashing. Having & using cwm is the safety route IMO.
Plus using the offline flash probably won't fix the inverted u-boot (LG logo).

I would still recommend the LG tools for anybody that is desperate about fixing their phone. It helped me out a great deal. Actually offline flash helped my LG logo and mirrored screen. After that all I had to do was flash the touch fix.

Im sorry, I was at work.. didn't really have much time to explain how I got it fixed or who helped.. but yes, thanks Kuma for the help. I appreciate it.
But there wasn't really anything wrong with the phone.. I tried to unlock the bootloader.. flashed the kdz, did all the shenanigans, but couldn't get it to unlock, and I was stuck with the wonky touch screen on the kdz i was using. So all I really could do is flash radio.zip and touch fix, and then do a restore of a backup I found on this forum using cwm, which Kuma helped me do.
Now im on v10g ICS, and the battery life so far is amazing.. I just am having a really hard time not letting this touch screen stuff bother me. Sometimes its so unresponsive.. I wouldn't mind going back to JB, but I wanna keep this battery life. Im just having a hard time believing there's this much of a difference between ICS and JB.. my phone normally would only last 12 hours, then i'd have to charge it again.. Now, its been off the charger for almost 12 hours and its not even at 60% .. so do you guys really think if I went back to JB, and uninstalled the same bloatware I uninstalled now, the battery would be significantly worse?

Trial & error
You are the best judge
Jellybean isn't that bad IMO, but I'm already due for a new battery. My phone is already a year old. Something to remember about Jellybean, the default settings for wifi(if turned on) , is to stay on when the phone is a sleep. However you can change it.
To improve responsiveness on ice you need to tweak the build.prop. I can't think of the tweak right now. Anyways I used android tuner app to fix it and I never had problems again. However, the app has updated and changed since. Some of the free tweaks aren't free anymore. I'll try to find the code you need.
Oh and thanks for giving me my props

Yeah idk.. I just know when I had stock rom from metropcs, my battery life would last maybe 12 hours of decent use.. now its lasting probably close to 24 hours without having to charge it. But if you could help me possible fix the responsiveness would be nice.
Also, I asked in another thread, which I dont think anyone knows the real answer, even after searching for it I couldnt find it.. but since im on 10g ICS, it keeps popping up and telling me to upgrade to JB.. is there anyway to remove the update notifications? I've read a few sites.. they mostly just say to freeze 2 things using root, and I tried that.. didn't seem to work. Just sucks, cause everytime I unlock my screen, it tells me to install it

I took out the battery from my L9 and it said "S/W: V10B". Does this mean because it came with ICS out of the box, I can unlock the bootloader? If so, what method do I have to do?

I just discovered that a hard reset while on 20b may cause a semi-lock of the bootloader. What a joke by LG if this is true. We may be locking up the bootloader ourselves with adb reboot oem-unlock!

Well played, LG. So what's the other option?
I'm going to do everything as stated in the video. When I get to the point that the boot screen freezes, I'll just re-flash the kdz. I'll let you know how I do tonight.
That message was intended for P760 users but I'm willing to assume that it applies to all L9 phones.

I'm working on doing this myself. I don't understand..how come it works for some but doesn't others? Everything went smooth for me until the adb reboot oem-unlock command. My phone just rebooted..no unlock screen as saw in the video. I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking this could be because I didn't have a Sim card in the phone, I only had WiFi. I'm unlocked however and have a At&t compatible net10 Sim I just received. I'm thinking of trying now that I have a Sim card but I had read that some people believe it MUST be a T-Mobile sim which I do not have. Has anyone that just reboots with no unlock after the oem- unlock command been running a T-Mobile Sim card? To me it seems that if these other L9s are able to be unlocked we certainly should be able to as well. I believe its a fine detail we are missing somewhere along the line that allows some while not allowing others. Does anyone have a extra T-Mobile Sim they would be willing to donate to test with or sell very cheap for testing see if maybe it must be a t mobile Sim card. Another thing that came into question was the USB drivers. When I tried to install the ones provided with the bootloader unlock for noobs file I was unable to install them because I already had drivers installed. It stated these were a newer version and needed to be uninstalled to install the ones provided. I did not do this. I just proceeded with the newer drivers I already had installed. Just a few thoughts.

You won't have root and it will erase everything. Check the super everything thread on how to root.

i've done a bunch of reading on 4.1.2 and see that its laggy. Can someone tell me if 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 is better as a stock rom?

4.0 is probably better on everything, cause its older, better battery too. But not as many bells and whistles. A lot of the lag can be eliminated just by disabling ripple effect on lock screen. The remaining with Trickster. I know you don't like to read too much, but if you went to p355 - 378 in Padawan thread, all lag issues (for most) disappeared. My phone never ran better. I've gotten comfortable with bells and whistles though. Stock is very bland for me now.

Sounds like modem issue. Try flashing a separate modem on top of. Don't know what other 2 ROMs you flashed? Not sure what the effect would be, but Padawan doesn't need gapps.
But I would check modem
