Hi Team recently grabbed one of these as an upgrade from my old Huawei phone that i smashed.
Some questions i was keen to know...(before the fone arrives)
If it comes with 2.2.1 will i have to downgrade to install a custom rom? or can most custom roms work with 2.2.1, i searched for some info but no dice sorry
I will most prob use Z4 to root (if it supports 2.2.1) else ill use SuperOneClick??
ROM CHOICE...
Seems where pretty spoilt here, my old fone had maybe 4 custom roms, i dont know where to start here!
Megatron seems to be what ive read most people running, im looking for a slight speed increase, bloatware removal, and optimized battery life, am i looking at the right rom for my needs?
Anyone who can spit me off some answers... Thank You
Viva
Z4root will do the job quite nicely .. you should take a look @ devoid rom definitely .

For now, yes. Android 2.2.1 is still unrootable. Without root you can't install custom recovery and without custom recovery you can't install custom ROMs.

Void or devoid. Void still has some google apps. I find most of them to be useful, not bloatware. Devoid is completely stripped of everything that is not absolutely necessary for the phone to function. I haven't used devoid.
Void has control over CPU overclock and hardware acceleration, and you can disable them if you need more battery life.
Don't worry; you'll learn how to do a nandroid backup using the custom recovery and you will be able to test any ROM. If you're unhappy with it, restore the backup to your previous one.
z4root works great on 2.2. As far as I know there are no rooting techniques that work for 2.2.1 so if you phone comes with that version, you will have to downgrade before rooting. Then after rooting, install the custom recovery and start flashing ROMs.
I think that void is the best general-use ROM out there, although I've now started with devoid and built up the things that I needed and I like having just what I need and nothing else.
Agree with the previous poster that using nandroid backups it is possible to have multiple ROMs stored on your SD card that you can switch back and forth between. It's a pretty amazing feeling to be able to triple boot three (or more!) different versions of an operating system on one device.
My best ROM+kernel combo is : Void without any modules installed ( the google apps you want you can just get them from market ) + Der-Cavemen's kernel . I do not use a2sd thus I did not make an ext partition and everything works perfectly . Actually I just couldn't ask for more.... well I could be asking for the 2.3.3 update
Thanks for the replies guys, means alot!
Ok Void sounds great as long as its got some over clocking options, also i was worried about losing the LG turn by turn navigation app that comes with the phone, is this easily installed again or is this left intact in this rom being talked about??
As far as downgrading ill have to wait for the phone to arrive to check what its running , if i have to this will be the most part im worried about as ive never done that before and ill have to find some 2.2 firmware for New Zealand which is where im from, can someone point me to a simplistic guide?
Thanks once again team !

When I install void rom will I have only english language, or my national (polish)?
OK reading about void has scared me, not used to installing roms that complicated!
might just go for something a tad easier?
Ubuntdroid is one of my faves

Installing void looks so complicated because it includes all the steps starting with downgrade, installing custom recovery and so on. Those are steps which you have to take anyway, no matter what custom ROM you settle for. So don't be scared, just read everything really careful before applying and you're gonna be fine.
[This stays between the two of us : void was the first (and only) custom ROM I have ever flashed, one week after I got my phone. I never had an Android phone before and I didn't know anything about all this stuff, yet everything worked perfect. Think positive!]
Thanks man, after reading through the Void instructions im def gona give it a whirl, ive installed quite a few roms before but never had to do the folder thing, not even sure if i have to downgrade yet till my fone arrives which will hopefully be tomoro?
Heres hoping its 2.2 and not 2.2.1,
thanks for all the help guys
I've used the stock rom for some time, and it worked sweet, so if you're not so sure about custom roms, just root and get the custom recovery on your stock rom, make a nand bkp, than start playing. Android os is a pretty neat os, but still complex, you'll probably wanna do some readin' on how it works before start messing around with it. You should pay attention in getting the right drivers for your pc (that could be complicated as the LG drivers for adb are pretty unstable on windows), and get into some adb working, it will allow you to do pretty EVERYTHING with your phone.
If you're afraid to loose the warranty, you should know this: the service knows you messed up with the os by seeing your custom recovery installed (of course the custom roms too, but it's logic that you'll get that one out once you decide to take the phone to service). So best/easy thing to do when you take your device to service using the warranty is to upgrade it to 2.2.2 via LG Updater (you downgraded to install custom roms, remember?). This will erase the bootloader and recovery to the stock ones, and guys from service will never know you messed that up.
Fell free to ask anything else, i'll think of more advices and write them.
Thanks for the advice, this is my 2nd android phone, ive installed alot of custom roms, i also have the Android SDK kit on my comp here ive pushed a few boot animations via ADB im pretty sure ill be fine
just never had to downgrade a firmware before as my old huawei fone was stuck on 2.1 and that was it

Beware though, I lost everything when installing it, photos, contacts, the lot.
I'm sure there's a way of saving them but I can't work it out.
It's the one thing putting me off trying other ROMs
Err well i hope i dont lose my contacts there saved to the sim!
ive never had this happen.

You can backup your contacts on PC before attempting the custom ROM flash. There are various ways of doing that: using LG PCSuite, using MyPhoneExplorer, using the export functions in Contacts etc. But if your contacts are stored in the SIM card, you won't lose them.
Hey all,
Today, I'll be picking up my new P500, after deciding to get a phone before my trip away.
I was considering flashing franco's rom and kernel combo, but seeing as I leave tomorrow, would it be worth the risk? This would be my first attempt at anything like this, and while I know I can get it to work eventually, would the benefits outway the risk of not having a proper functioning phone in time for my trip?
I'd be using my phone for video and music playback, and some pic taking, while keeping me connected to Facebook the whole time, if my priorities make a difference.
if u are good with nerd stuff, do it.
or stay away! u wud end up asking ur friend for a spare phone
with this phone yes absolutely it makes a amazing performance difference with the right ROM and kernels
The answer: YES.
It's pretty easy, root with gingerbreak, install a recovery, make a nandroid and that's it! Now jflash a nice rom/kernel combo and you will benefit of a much better battery life and performance overall. Enjoy!
Btw, welcome to the party here
sure the feeling of constant crashes and a bricked phone (that used to work perfectly on stock) is awesome.
I suggest this:
use your stock phone for a little while, get used to it, and then flash a custom rom and see the differences; you won't want to go back again

Well that depends on how many beta things you try
Go, no problem at all, it's easy. You can try what you want and you can always come back.
It's good to install a custom ROM and Kernel, I use [ROM] devoid. #froyo-final & franco kernel. Very fast, smooth .
If you just get the phone new, I will recommend your stay with the original firmware. That way you dont have to worry about it during your trip, and you will have something to reference to when you try the custom ROM/kernel later.
Okay, here's my personal opinion. Having bought my Optimus T (P509) brand new in November the week it came out, I had no option but to keep the original firmware for a while. It's not that bad. It's very stable, and it honestly isn't that slow. I was only getting about 460 on my quadrant, and I was disappointed, but quadrant has come to mean nothing. Despite my consistent 1000+ quadrant scores on other ROM's, I was disappointed with the appearance. Appearance has come to mean almost everything to me now. This all being said, I would advise keeping the stock for a while and messing with ADW Launcher (found in the market for free) and some of it's themes. Although it's totally worth the minimal risk of bricking, as has been previously stated, you'll fully appreciate custom ROM's more if you keep the original ROM for a time.
Go Launcher Ex will give you a great overhaul as well on stock ROM.
now day it is very easy to:
1. root Use GingerBreak, just click and click reboot, all done.
2. Install recovery, For 1st recovery u can use ungaze zip and terminal emulator with very short command for Amonra, or use Rom manager to install CwM.
3. Flashing Custom Rom, just go to recovery Wipe all and then Flash it.
its just take 1-2 hour to finish that... very different with me when i install Custom Recovery on Last Feb... you must use ADB.

Well yes it is, but the main idea is that he won't understand the pros and cons of a custom rom if he doesn't get to really know his stock phone.
For example when I bought my phone I couldn't find a reason to mod it. I was coming from Symbian & WinMo and I was perfectly happy with the phone the way it was; only after I got bored with it and got tired with it being rather slow I decided to mod it and I could perfectly see and understand all the differences.
Why am I telling this? Because he's asking if he should risk moding it. The answer is no, you shouldn't risk this if you're happy with it the way it is now and if you can't tell all the differences and improvements.
Grow some balls and do it ours worth out trust new lol

And how about I have tried almost all of them? I'm even testing Ciaox's ThunderSense Rom. We're not talking about testing here, he isn't here to be a beta tester. He can just use stable roms like devoid.final and enjoy his phone.
And yes I do agree, he should use his phone for some time before rooting to really feel the benefits of customs, unless he already had an android phone before.
I am brand new
Which ROM?
R there any ICS ones?
WOuld love to hear ur thoughts
Thank you
Seriously, if you don't know whether or not there's even an ICS ROM available yet, maybe you shouldn't be flashing a $600+ phone, yeah? Or, you know... use the search tool?

you should try with stock rom for a while, start reading about flashing roms and you will be ready to flash
I know it's annoying to have to wait, but it's better to do it, than wind up with a potentially ruined device.
@benyben123
I suggest trying out Checkrom 4.0. It is very stable
Stock ROM but ROOTED and your' good to go..................friendly recommendation
Dude, if You just got Your phone and don't know what rom to choose at first learn the device. You don't need neither custom rom nor root. These are just addons for great device. It's common that people don't use their device but play with it and it ends badly. You assumed that any rom is good apart from stock but stock rom is very good. Also You don't need to root it instantly. Some say that "phone is unusable in non rooted state" - it's bull s**t. Apps that require root are designed to meet very specific needs, not for regular users. It's because android is veery advanced and allow many things without administrator privileges (this is not an iphone !). Remember - people think that root is "something everyone should do at once" - no it's not, and it's very dangerous in hands of unexperienced user. One false move with root privileges and You will start learning many things about flashing at once just to recover your device. Also remember that this is not another "application privilege". App with root privs is capable of wiping entire system in a seconds including IMEI data etc.
It's really friendly advice - leave Your phone as it is for now, learn how it works, install some apps and read as much as You can. Then You will know what your device is capable of and what can be achieved by rooting / flashing kernels or roms. Flashing without a reason, just for fun is stupid and ends with full pants.

...another thing worth to read about. What do You mean by supported ? It's supported by it's designers.
For SGS2 we have custom ROMs like CheckROM - modified Samsung officials, added some tweaks, apps, removed less usable apps. And ROMs like MIUI or CyanogenMod - they are AOSP (android open source project) and have little in common with Samsung official firmware, ex. no TouchWiz so some Samsung specific apps will not work on them. According to Wikipedia - MIUI is based on CM7.1 sources.
MIUI is not "ported", it's prepared for many devices including SGS2.
Don't do *anything* until you've done a *lot* of reading. Enjoy the phone. It's a fantastic device simply running stock firmware.
Once you're comfortable enough to be able to do it in your sleep (And not before. If you have to ask questions about this, you're not ready. It is an absolutely simple process), root your phone using a CFRoot kernel.
This will enable you to remove/freeze all the crap telcos/Samsung put on the phone and all the other joyful things that come with having a rooted phone. And do a lot more reading. Only this time read the threads devoted to the various roms/kernels. Read other users experiences with these. The features. Pluses. Downsides. Ask specific questions about them in these threads.
From there, you can make an informed decision about a rom/kernel combo to try. Believe me, if you do a couple of weeks of reading/research before you do anything, you'll reap the rewards.
If you jump in the deep end without understanding what you're doing, you could end up with a soft brick that might take you a few days to fix at best. Or returning the phone to Samsung /potentially having to pay to have it repaired out of your own pocket at worst.
Just a few things to consider
For the simple of heart who don't need the diversity of a custom ROM, but moreso hate the pain of re-rooting after OTA installation. Not intended to host this thread so much as I am here to inspire it...
I updated with flash fire. It worked perfectly. I am on stock rooted. went from 7.0 to 7.1.1.

1. Download the factory image from here.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aos...y-ef607244.zip
2. Select the firmware option on FlashFire.
3. Select ONLY system, vendor and boot images. ***DO NOT SELECT BOOTLOADER OR RADIO***
4. Select Flash.
5. Wait for some time.
6. Might bootloop a couple of times. Do not panic.
7. ENJOY!!!

Please forgive me sir. I love custom ROM's, I'm just in a phase right now and I figured that what helps me may help someone else. I don't understand how I offended you though sir. Is it because this thread is a waste of space or that it has no business on XDA? I need clarification in order to understand my error. My only clue is that you said flashing a zip, which leaves me feeling misunderstood... I have been flashing zips since the original HTC Desire which was on 2.1 donut before it's final OTA of eclair. Rooted, S-Off'd, flashed all kinds of mods and ROMS, even had a buggy ICS running on it for a while.
HTC Amaze, how hard was it to S-Off that? The wire trick? Had xPosed, custom boot animation, etc. Then there was Alcatel, had 2 that I rooted, the venture and the evolve2, same as above custom everything.
I'm on my Nexus 6P now, as long as we're getting updates OTA I want to remain stock for a change, at least till the updates stop coming. Maybe it's cuz I said there is pain in re-rooting... it's not just the process of re-rooting, it's everything that is undone and uninstalled when you update with a stock zip, and wiping data is a big step for those in my sort of position so flashing "some" custom ROM's is an un-worthy sacrifice at this phase.
If need be I will edit or delete my original post you quoted. I hope I did manage to bring into focus to some degree at some part of cause for the confusion emoji. Any ideas are welcome and thank you for your analytical input.

A perfect example. I have flash fiire but never used it, I read somewhere that it doesn't work as one would expect. That it does not preserve root against OTA, and that there truly is no solution available as if it were not possible. I take your word for it though. I personally am not ready to try it yet, just to provide resources for those who are and to be well educated when I am ready.
I'm still waiting for xPosed for the new architecture, I don't want to update just to find out it's available for 7.0 and not 7.1.1 however unlikely that may be. I know I can always back up, but I'd have to do so regularly to keep it up to date which can't be done once you've upgraded and it may be months before the framework is available if it can be done which I hear it has...
Too many variables, I'm on stand-by, ready to pay and grateful for my memories and the devs responsible for them...
I just ordered le max 2 on 28 September and got after 5 days because of ****y eui I flashed AEX, Linage and RR.
In RR I faced fingerprint issue also flashed modems and clear cache and divick cache but nothing help me
then i flashed 15s and test fingerprint again but failed after flashed 19s again failed but whats wrong with the camera !!
the camera taking pictures automatically and continuously until I closed camera app.
If anyone has solution regarding this please share with me...

EUI is heavily skinned and literally cuts the performance in half (tested using geekbench) and I personally don't like how it looks. This is why there are custom ROMs.
I had the same problem but after updating modem firmware to s21 or s23 that problem didn't exist anymore.
I,am running lineage os 14.1 on the le max 2 x820.
Also, pay attention before updating if your devices is a x820 or x828 there is a difference. and then update the driver to related version numbers.

You see this? You see this crap? This is a lie. Rooting and flashing don't mess up anything if you know what you're doing. Flashing roms improves your experience.

Aptly said. :good:
Both of you are but out of track.
EUI is almost buggles or even completely buggles BUT its skin is really power consuming and some people don't like it so they want to switch to pure Android or near pure Android. The reason why these ROMs have bugs is that your default rom (from LeEco) is made from a whole team which job is to do the software (the rom). Custom ROMs are made by one person (sometimes more) who has to make there source code of a rom (lineage os, rr ect.) using a device tree (specs of the device) to build it. Some stuff aren't included in the device trees (The camera codes for some legal reasons and other things). Because of that people have to find a way to get the camera and other components to work. Btw people who make custom ROMs dont always receive money (but you can donate them if you want).
This is why custom ROMs are sometimes buggy.
Root and flashing are most of the time not dangerous. Some companies are making built-in root protection to prevent root and if they detect root it will bootloop (LeEco doesn't do that so our phones are fine). Flashing can also brick your phone IF you're not careful. If you don't know how to recover just Google it. There are a lot of ways to unbrick a phone or get your default rom back. Still don't be scared of it. Make sure that the rom, kernel,firmware and recovery is for your phone and only for your phone (every rom and recovery is comparable with x820, x821 and x829). If you see x800, x900 or something that doesn't match WILL NOT work.
I hope this helps somehow.

Because the fingerprint sensor is somehow "stuck" and I think that the option to take pictures with the fingerprint is selected in the camera app, then you'll have photos taken as soon as you'll start the app. Go to the settings of the camera and unselect this feature.
Also try flashing different modems, especially from 23s or 26s. I remember somebody said the fp came back to life after that.
Don't lose your patience. This is a forum, ask and you will get the answer. The phone cannot be bricked easily, so don't worry about that.

I don't know who is that supposed to help as I'm a dev and I've been in this game for 6 years. I never said anything about eui being bad or something. There was a guy that said that rooting and flashing creates all the problems we face which is not true. The reason custom roms for our device has bugs is because we don't have so proprietary hals and blobs and the ones we have are stuck on marshmallow. If someone doesn't know how to properly flash a rom and recover if something happens, they shouldn't do it

Heyyo, hmm which ones have you flashed? Can you provide links please?
What I'd recommend is trying a fastboot flash of an EUI based ROM that will hopefully redo the firmware and hopefully fix the camera and fingerprint issue.
Please download the fastboot version Cuoco92's EUI ROM and flash it via fastboot

If that resolves it? Then you should be able to reflash TWRP and custom ROMs if you'd like
I think the OP abandoned the thread. Firstly would be nice to change the modem, then flash another EUI as per the suggestions.
PS: Guys, also stop the fight with EUI good/bad etc... Android is a system of choice, XDA is here to help, we are here to help/ get help.
