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!

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.
Hello guys, ive got an LG G2 (d805) 4 months ago from a brazillian website, everything was perfect, without useless apps and logo from any operatings. Yesterday i had to reset my device, and now on the apps field, have many many useless apps from VIVO and when i start the gadget, appears that logo too. First question, why that appears now and not before when i bought?
Second question, I dont know what ROM is installed, since i use JellyBean 4.2.2, can i Flash ANY Kitkat Rom? Or should i install an especifcly one? Please, someone help me, i'm new on this...

Yes, you can use any of the roms for the d802 version as long as you do not try and install the stock firmware for it via LG Updater or a KDZ/tot file flasher.

I want to get the LG Optimus L70 from Metro PCS. I see it has KitKat on it already, but it seems there is a rom on top, and i dont really like the look. So i wanted to get vanilla Android 4.4 on it, but im new to Android and i dont know if i can just install the vanilla, original version onto that phone... do i have to wait for a port or rom developed by the carrier or some other 3rd party?
Please help! Thanks in advance.
ello. About a month ago I learned about phone rooting..and I am unable to successfully do it. I don't want to use a computer, must be off my phone but I have tries every single method I've read up on or seen on YouTube. (Framaroot,vroot,rootmaster,z4,LGpwn,towelroot) those are just some to name, none of which work. I'm starting to feel like my phone is unrootable and I'm getting annoyed. If anyone is able to help please let me know. Like I said I have a LG lucid 3 with kitkat4.4.2 and the model is vs87611B
Man there is NO development for this phone. Sadly if your new to rooting/ hacking/ wtv on androids you'll need a different phone to practice with. I've been doing EVERYTHING for YEARS when it comes to Android. A dozen different devices all rooted, flashed, unlocked, etc. And NOW I have this... LG 876... aka PAPERWEIGHT We can only hope some savvy dev is stuck with one too somewhere... Rooting would help with the bloatware as you could install titanium and do a lot. But Really you need custom ROM's. Preferably CyanogenMod. Or ASOP.
Hello,
I have bought an LG G5 a couple months ago and there's obviously some bloat that came with it. How much of it is LG's and how much of it is my carrier's, I don't know.
I was a bit clumsy and though it would just dump a "Nexus" image straight from Google on it and voila I would have a barebone phone with only the OS and the apps I want on it, but then I realized that those images really are only for Nexus models as they seem to have device drivers specific to the hardware.
So my question is, is there a way to have a clean LG5 phone, with only the OS installed ? If so, which ROM or image am I looking for exactly ?
Thanks.
