This is my first LG phone (well, the original Nexus 5, but that doesn't really apply) I'm wondering if down the line I would be able to find some of the custom roms (AICP, Slim, Resurrection Remix, etc) for this phone. It's starting to make me think I should have done more research before picking it up. It's a nice phone, but I guess I got spoiled on all the options nexus phones and even the Note 4 had.
First thing is that you need to have the T-Mobile version of this phone. Both ATT & Verison have everything locked down and there can be no custom roms until this has been solved.
If you have the T-Mobile version the jump over to the T-Mobile specific forum and they are there already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10

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,
I have purchased an International S3 and am going to use it on AT&T. I have read through the forums and feel pretty confident about rooting my phone. My question(s) is:
1. Do I need to flash a new ROM to make the most out of AT&T's network, or will the stock ROM work just fine?
2. If its recommended to use a custom ROM which should I use for best compatibility with AT&T? If I must use custom I would like one as close to stock as possible.
Thank you for any/all replies.

bumping for great justice!
Anyone?

ATT OMEGA 7.0 phone won't turn on anymore
I tried to load Omega 7.0 on my ATT S3 and everything went well until the reboot part. The screen went black and my phone isn't able to turn on now. Any advise would be great. Thanks
Sounds like you have the US version
Sounds like you have the US version, I have the international version but thanks for the info either way.
Anyone have any advice for the best radio for use on AT&T on the I9300? I'm on the latest official stock build taking only OTAs so far, but my signal strength seems worse on this phone than others I've used in the past. (Figured I'd check before I start flashing/testing for a few days)
thread closed. choosing roms is a personal thing. what is best for one person (and phone) may not be best for someone else. the best advice is to try a few.
Hey guys, I recently won a contest in which the prize was the Sprint version of this phone (LS990) and I would like to give it a try, but I've never used these CDMA/GSM phones before. I plan initially to give LG stock software a try to see what it's like (I'm a Nexus user most of the time), but eventually I'll probably settle on an AOSP based ROM (or as close as I can get). I was wondering if anyone could tell me in a broad sense what I would have to do to get it SIM/GSM unlocked and running properly on both a stock based (or stock ROM even) and an AOSP based ROM.
EDIT: What steps should I take in order to root? There's no CF-Auto-Root for this device. Is the only way to install TWRP using the BUMP method?
So just bought a Note Edge (SM-N915W8) which is a Canadian version i guess. Since i like installing custom roms on all of my phones I was about to do that on this one too because fk touchwiz. But i was not able to find any custom rom for my version, only for international one and a few more. So my question is ,even if I flashed the rom made for N915F, would it still work? If not then, what should I do? Could I somehow change my version to international? (sorry if these are stupid questions, but i have minimal knowledge about this matter)
I'm personally tired of one ui 5 and have a couple of questions about custom roms on the s21. I know this will void my warranty, and I'm fine with that, but will my carrier get upset over anything (it's AT&T)? The question at hand, any good custom roms that run android 13 and are stock for the s21? The phone is also locked btw.
