Hello L9 Community!
My old man has the L9 for a while now and it crashed lately (it gives a security error at boot).
So I decided to unlock the bootloader and then flash a new rom on it.
But before I get to that I need to know what the best ROM is. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM, I don't need lots of fancy costumalization options. Just something fast and stable.
Are there also things I need to know about this device before I start? Because I remember from my G2 and G3 that it was different than flashing a OnePlus device.
Thanks for helping me out!
I use cyanogenmod 11. It's stable and it has some useful tweaks. You have to unlock your bootloader first, than flash a specific twrp from cyanogen post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547442
I hope this helped you

:good: HI FELLAS, i am a newbie around here and i barely have knowledge about what the custom roms really are.
The part i want to be helped is that i want to install a custom rom on my LG L9 P768g , because i do not want to be on stock rom which is ICS 4.0.4 though ..so i want to install a rom with all of the cool features(settings like theme customization, CPU and GPU overclocking, etc) of jelly Bean OS or if its can to be installed a Kit Kat based rom.
I need to know what roms would work just fine without any minor bugs or some bad thing in my specific device.
Thanks:confused

Before you can do anything, you have to root your device and then unlock the bootloader. Without unlocking the bootloader your options are very limited. Just search the L9 forums. There's plenty of threads about all this. Here's a place to start. And another one to check out as well.
Hello there, how are you?
My problem is, I received an Y300 as a gift, haven't yet received it but I want to prepare the necessary things to root it and install custom roms on it. No, this isn't the first phone I install a custom rom to, as I have already played with an Optimus L5 of a friend. Could you please answer this questions?
a) How do I root the phone and install CWM or other recovery? I have found many tutorials but they are confusing, and require waiting for 2-3 days for the code to unlock the bootloader. In case you need to know, it probably is the normal Y300, the international one, so no Asian Model
b) How many ROMS are there for this phone? I like Cyanogenmod and stock roms the most, I can barely stand the stock rom in the phone, so I would like to install a new ROM on it ASAP.
c) By flashing the new ROM, do I lose IMEI or something like that (EFS Folder in Samsung phones)? If so, how can I back it up?
Thanks for your help

Here is a GUIDE to unlock the bootloader and root your phone
Thanks, LS.xD
This was all I needed, I've found a CM11 Rom in the Modaco forums, hope it works well. Just got to wait until I get the phone
Okay, so I downloaded the latest nighly of the ROM, but it appears that CM11 is not very stable and has many problems with SystemUI (statusbar) and other things. Aren't there any ROMS for the Y300 on XDA? Also, will I lose my network connectivity if I do the wipes (data,cache, dalvik cache)?
Again, thanks for all your help, I appreciate it
EDIT: Found CM10.1 here in XDA but it redirected me to Modaco, however it is quite stable, downloading now. So which wipes do I have to do, in order to get everything smooth? Also, as I said will I lose my network connectivity or IMEI if I do these wipes, or I can do this without worrying
Dear friends,
It looks like we lost few great dev so far, and face a lot of abandoned rom. Since then, i would try to use one custom ROM for my daily driver, and to use it a long time (since i would go abroad and will not flashing the device on abroad). Which custom ROM is most stable for daily use, and no need to update baseband (because i found it so hard to update). Thanks friends..

Hello.
I'm using currently Rammars Paranoid 4.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/rom-paranoidandroid-4-6-t2933958 , been using it for daily use(mostly twitter, whatsapp and instagram), no problem with that, pretty smooth fast, i suggest using Nova launcher, and if you like eye candy, get the Androidl theme from playstore, as far as you keep away from gaming, and really heavy apps, it is stable. No kernel panics, no unexpected shutdowns/reboots. All great. But the onlydownside, surprinsgly the best battery life i stumbled upon was for rammars lollipop, 5.3.2 the most stable to be exact.
Still, i`m right now about to restore CWM backup of a nandroid (v20h) to be back on stock, becaue, honestly, there won't be a more stable ROM than stock.
If you still have a stock rom installed, updating rom and baseband won't be difficult, if OTA or the LG Flash Tool won't give you anything newer than v20h(like in Europe) you need the appropiate KDZ file.
With a custom rom, seemingly the LG drivers and tools no longer recognize the phone, and getting back to stock or updating bb gets a bit complicated. I wrote down my sad story in Artas' thread, an finally I even succeeded, it's all there.

Sorry for offtopic, but getting back to stock is pretty easy if u use NANDROID, but if you want a full wiple, like the way you bought it, no CWM no nothing, KDZ flashing does the trick.
I'm sorry, didn't notice the baseband thing, on what baseband are you at?
hi i'm used 4.4.4. artas and think it's the better i have a p768
So I pretty much never flashed a ROM on this device. This is the third day I own this device, and I don't really like MIUI, I find it pretty hard to use, and it has a critical bug, that I am not sure when it will be fixed. I haven't done anything to the device, it's currently in the state i received it in. However, I would like to unlock the bootloader, and install cyanogenmod. However, I do have some questions, and I hope that Kate owners that have successfully flashed CM on their device will help me out.
These are some questions I have:
1) What is currently the fastest and safest way to unlock the bootloader?
2) Which CM version is the stablest? I prefer CM 14.1 just because I never had it, but if it isn't stable, I can live with CM13 as well.
3) What do I need to backup? I often see people asking for backups, because they lost their IMEI or something like that.
4) Does the Kate Radios zip made for CM13 work with CM14?
Also if someone could link me a step by step tutorial that would help me install CM successfully, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hey guys. so I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, all that fun stuff. I just bought a Motorola Moto G Power and rooted it along with unlocking the bootloader. I was trying to see if I could download some custom ROMs on it, but wasn't sure if the ones I saw were for my device. are these ROMs able to work on any device or are they strictly to some?
