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?

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.

but with the P769 firmware, does the phone still function properly on MetroPCS's 4G ??? And is there no simple way to unlock it? Seems to be way too complicated.
Check phandroid there is a cyanogen mod by bobzhome and I believe they are near perfect (both versions).

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

I downloaded rom toolbox and ran the cpu info script and the lgms769 has a lg p769 board in it, i have root and recovery on lgms769 v10b so its ok i guess im woeking on a custom rom.
And for update binary ro.product.device is u2.

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)
CM 10.1 P769
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.

I am a newbee to embedded devices, can someone help me or let me know what I can do with this mobile (LGM769 MetroPCS)?
Can the bootloader be unlocked and can I run custom ROMs on it? I read a lot of posts which just confused me (Maybe it's my Multiple Sclerosis) maybe I am just thick either way some help would be much appreciated. I know this mobile is getting old but it's the only thing I have.

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!

it is one of the hardest phone to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms? How many users have really installed custom roms on their L9s? At least the p769?

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.

There's at least one reason I can easily pick a custom ROM over stock: no emulated storage with apps to sd . well I guess that's two reqsons. Please, the CM 10.1 ROM for P769 is daily driver material.. I would say stock is less functional..

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 must have been lucky. I downloaded lgpwn.apk and ran that on the phone and whala in like 2 minutes my phone was rooted. Then i installed supersu and busybox. I havent installed a custom rom yet because i am happy with the stock rom but i wanted to get rid of some of the bloatware and i am happy to have link2sd working so i can offload some apps to the sd card.
If requested i can supply the file i used but i imagine its not hard to find.

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.
I just installed CWM for this phone and the bootloader is still locked. But does this mean i could install custom firmware? or do i just now have a way to back up my phone and recover?
Locked boot loader means that you cannot install custom roms on the phone. There are certain tweaks that can be installed through CWM, there are also a few modified (themed and tweaked) stock roms floating around in the general section of this forum.
I can honestly say that once you delete most of the bloat, apply a few tweaks...our phone runs just fine on stock-ish firmware.

Just stay on modded stock. ( check kuma82's ROM in dev section ) If you want to install custom roms then you HAVE to unlock your bootloader.

Thank you guys for the information. I am going to check out that rom it sounds pretty good and i honestly dont really need anything super fancy i just want to be able to take advantage of this sd card.
Really annoying that it wasn't implimented on the original firmware to be able to move apps to the sd card. It seems like a very long running theme with android that there are all sorts of issues moving apps to the sd card. Best way i was able to take advantage of my sd card was with my old lg p509 using the ungazed script.
Good luck.

Alright, I can not, for the life of me, find any guide on how to install clockworkmod on this phone. I want to start flashing roms, but I assume I need to install CWM first. But I can not find any guide or tutorial on how to go about that.
I did it with relative ease on my old ZTE Blade but I forgot how, and I can't find any instructions for this phone.
There's a recovery on RomManager's site but I don't know how to install that. If that's what I need at all. And RomManager doesn't even recognize my phone to install it. I'm so confused. ( -_-)
Can anyone help me or link me to a cwm guide for p710?

It's quite a difference: The L7 II are dual core, while the L7 are single core. Another reason is that the L7 II bootloader has been locked for a long time (until the CWM got out), so the development of custom roms started pretty late. We're all waiting for the custom roms, believe me.
