Update: Here's an updated update. This update updates your phone so that it is updated. Note: if you apply this update over the previous update, it updates the update that you had previously updated your phone with, so that you have the most recent update.
This one contains the same stuff as my RC30 v1.2 update. Go read the notes for it over in that thread
Plus! You now get a voice dialer, amazon MP3, and all 4 IM types available on the US firmware (aim, gtalk, windows live and yahoo).
Note: to get the other IM providers, you have to delete the improvider settings after you install the update. Open a terminal and type the following command as root:
rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.im
Then reboot the phone, and you should have all 4 IM providers available.
And now, for something completely different. A man with 3... err. nevermind, it's just the download link.

http://android-dls.com/forum/index.php?f=24&t=190&rb_v=viewtopic (see forum post for actual link to file)
----------------------
As usual, this can only be installed if you have already installed the modified recovery image. If you are running the official RC30 or RC8 build, you won't be able to use this.
To install, rename the file to update.zip, put it on the sd card, and reboot the phone into recovery mode (home + power). Once the recovery mode comes up, press alt+L to turn on the text display, and alt+S to apply the update.
This build can be installed by anyone that has the modified recovery image - it will run on both US or UK phones. Note though, some of the functionality in the US version is missing in the UK version: Voice dialing, myfaves, amazon mp3 store, chat messages via SMS.
And there might be other miscellaneous issues with running this build on a US phone.. possible MMS issues, etc. If you do encounter anything, feel free to post about it (it's good to know what works and doesn't), but don't expect it to be fixed . I may be able to fix some stuff.. but I can't work miracles
For all you people out there that aren't on t-mobile, installing this should fix the myfaves issues that y'all have been having (sending SMSs to t-mobile.. etc.)
Note: you can freely switch between the modded RC30 and modded RC8 build. If you install one and don't like it, you can always switch back.
Big thanks to SGTDavePwnage for finding the download, and for testing out the update! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443713

Ooo. hot AND sticky! I'm gonna have to go pick up some cinnamon rolls now.
Thanks pof
Ooh I'm so going to try that.. no MyFaves..
I'm still nowhere on making my own build... My Ubuntu has decided that I wasn't entitled to networking anymore.. (i hate that thing)
Thanks for your hard work!
No network for you! 1 year!
Just throw Ubuntu on a VM, you'll be building android in no time
Thanks JESUSFREKE, you did magic !
Well, I did screw up my network driver while trying to update the ATI ones.. but don't ask.
So I just updated my phone with your update and..... it seems to work
It took an awful lot of time to reboot so I got scared but it finally came up fine. I still have root of course (thanks so much)
Wifi ok, Camera ok, motion sensor ok.
Data.. I only get Edge, but that could be my provider not having 3G coverage here. To be verified. I don't use it much anyway since in my country the cheapest data plan is $40 for 50Mb.. :|
The dialer does not automatically format number in US format!! Yippee... I know it's a small thing but it was bugging me.
All contacts got lost (of course since they were managed by MyFaves). But syncing worked. With some errors in the background but apparently not too significant.
SMS ok. I'm not sure what you're calling SMS Chat. The SMS app still looks like a chat. I assume it's some T-Mo US feature that I won't miss.
And most important of all Mario Simulator still works fine . Seriously I can't find anything that doesn't work.
There is a new app "web'n'walk" from T-Mo which can not be removed through the normal application manager. If it's not replacing any android service i guess that a little remount and busybox mv should do the trick.
Amazon is indeed missing. I wonder if people who care about it could just copy the .apk and .odex file over and get it back. I don't care about it so I won't try. People still buy music?
I've been looking at logcat while writing this and I couldn't see any crazy SMS behavior.
So all in all a good upgrade for non T-Mo users with a US phone. For what it's worth I recommend it.

Hopefully I'm not being stupid - but is this the one for the UK? Whats the difference between RC30 and TC5-RC8 ?
Thanks for your hard work. T-Mobile in the UK have pushed out their update today - it keeps asking me if I want it (which I keep saying no) but need to make sure I get the correct image!
Yes, this is for the UK. (but will work on US handsets)
It is the new update that is currently being pushed out by T-mobile uk (but modified to keep root)
Functionally its not that different to RC7.
Think of it as the equivalent to RC30 (with all the nice US bits removed)
If i already installed the Modded RC30 update using the step by step in this forum..
do i just put this on my SD card and go into recovery mode and hit Alt+S
or do i have to do all the steps again?
i do not know if i have root or not... i tried a chmod on a font file and it wouldn;t let me.. even when i put "su"
said it was a read-only file system

Assuming you have correctly installed the modded RC30, you just need to rename the zip to update.zip and put this on your SD card and go into recovery mode and hit Alt+S.
To check if you have root, try re-mounting (mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system)
thanks once i find a wifi connection i shall try it before i update. I am not on tmobile and mainly want this update to prevent text messages being sent out..

Yes, the Uk software doesnt use MyFaves (which controls contacts on US software).
That will be one side affect of switching between regions.
You can still re-sync with google and it will re-download them tho.

I have to take my G1 back and probably get an updated one.
I got my black UK G1 out of a T-Mobile shop last Friday and by Sunday they stopped selling them because there was a "bad batch" meaning my dad had to get the white one. Anyhoo...i have a dead pixel (which i can't stop looking at) so i took it back to the shop today but they still don't have black ones so i'll have to wait till Monday...but...i presume i'll end up with an updated one...
Hi, I got an unlocked UK Vodaphone Magic yesterday and after much reading around on the site decided to take the plunge and root my phone today. I followed the easy guide in the Wiki (Step 1) and flashed what I later read as to be the wrong rom for my phone but luckily it looks as though all is well. As far as I know everything went okay (no errors or anything My SPL thing said .0004 but now is .2005.)
The phone still boots fine as it did (maybe a little slower) but all functions still work okay. I downloaded a bluetooth app for sending and recieving on the marketplace but when I click the option to turn on recieving within the app, it says my phone is still required to be rooted. Is there an way I can test if it's definately rooted? I have tried a search, but can't seem to find anything relevant. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
**Just to add to this, one point when I was following the guide and got to step 12, after doing that I typed in "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-new.img" in the command prompt, nothing happened to the phone and the command prompt line didn't say anything at all it just went to the next line so I could type again (at the same point it didn't mention any errors). Don't know if thats normal or not, but I tried it twice and carried on following the rest of the steps.
All normal Leviathon. Try this:
Note: To Test, Just Try Using CPU Overclocker Widget(Its Free) From The Market Before & After Using This... u ll Notice the Change

Looks like mine isnt rooted properly either, yet I can flash roms etc??? The cpu widget is giving an application error when trying to run it....
You can flash ROMs because you got root and then flashed a modified SPL. Unless the ROM you flash has root like the hero v1.1+ ROM then you have to get root again.

Thanks for your help, just about to try the Enable-SU.exe thing. Can't find CPU Overclocker Widget on market place (search reveals nothing), tried another one called OverclockingWidget, but that won't work, because I need root.
Installed Enable-SU.exe fine, this allowed me to enable the recieving of bluetooth files, but whenever i recieve a file of any kind, it gets to 100% and then the phone resets itself? Seperatly from this, I thought I'd browse the superuser permissions icon to see what was in it, there was one thing with a + next to it which I clicked (thinking I could edit it or something) and now it's dissapeared, don't know if this matters or not.
Further EDIT - The more I'm reading the more confused I'm getting (it doesn't take me much), but I was trying to find something on the Wiki on how to flash a rom now (assuming my phone is rooted?) and I stumbled upon a link to the SPL file that I am now running, said something about flashing the radio first? That wasn't mentioned in the guide I followed, should I have done this? Also, If my phone is rooted, where do I go from here? I can't seem to find anything relating to how I now flash new roms apart from something in the Wiki about using the terminal app to gain root again? Sorry for all the questions, I'm sure I'm confusing things when they don't need to be.
My Fastboot Menu thingy reads like so :
Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261

Cheers for response. Im confused some apps work and some give an application error. The ones that work a box pops up asking for root access which i allow and in superuser app it is logged in there. Am wondering why some apps arent working and some are? Is there a simple way to check root status from a terminal on the phone?
P.S am using nk02's ion r5 rom. Have also tried fatal1ty's hero v3 but flashed back to this.
Okay I think I've made some more progress in reading, when I took the steps to root my magic nothing was wiped by the way? (Photos, settings etc) Is that also normal? aside from the issues I'm having with the bluetooth rebooting after recieving files and not able to find the CPU overclocker. And this possible Radio issue, I want to try the Ion R5 rom and then later on try the Hero Black rom, so I just name the resulting zip as "update", enter the recovery menu (power on + home) and select update from the list and this will flash the new rom? If I then wanted to try a new rom later, I just do the same (rename the file to update) and re-flash it over the top? If someone could verify I'm on the right tracks or if this incorrect I would be eternally gratefull.
Hi, I've in cmd:
PHP:
uid=0<root> gid=0<root>
So I should be root, but some root-apps doesn't work...is this maybe because they're not ready for cupcake? e.g. OverclockWidget - doesnt't start!
Ah, I have the app "Overclock" I can set the MHz and looks like it works, but when i go back to the app, there are no MHz shown?! Mhhh...I am really root?

Is the app called "Overclock"? or "Open Overclock"? I just tried Open Overclock and that asked me for root access, the program runs (although I have not tried any of the settings because I dont know what I'm doing), but I would assume the phone is rooted if it prompts for root access to run and works? That's what I'm basing mine on anyway.

No it was: Overclock
I've tried OpenOverclock, but there's no hint or message that I have no root...but it looks not too good
Do you have the android sdk and adb installed? so you can check it by typing: "adb shell id" in cmd/shell. Check that the USB driver works with "adb devices".
And try SetCPU, it's MUCH BETTER!

USB works fine
I'll give Set CPU a try
EDIT - Have tried Set CPU, although I have no idea what I'm doing, what is some good safe settings?
I assume that I am deffo rooted then, so how would I use other roms now? Just rename them to update and use the boot menu thing to flash them?
Okay I read up on the CPU thing, tried all settings, doesn't seem to make any difference in speed to mine (even on max settings), i.e reading tweets with twitdroid is still pretty laggy - I guess it doesn't work with all models then?
So, There is a telemarketing company thats offering the Nexus S 4g from sprint for $49.99 a month and you only pay $100 for the phone. you get unlimited everything.
the thing is that every cellphone they give you comes with a pre-installed app called "RawData" which records all your calls, texts, data usage. they basically stalk your phone.
For some nasty reason the app to make calls, is pre-installed with raw data so when you dial a number, it sends the call to "RawData's" servers and forwards it to the number. I found out about this when I rooted the nexus and uninstalled "rawdata" but then my no so smart mind said "WELL HEY, WHAT IF I UNINSTALL THE TALK APP?" well i did, sadly it wont even call 911, when you press dial it says the app crashed.
I tried giving it a factory reset, and it turned on, and when it comes to the setup where it tells me to "touch the android to begin".
i press it and it seems to look highlighted when i press it, but it doesnt pass from there... so i was trying to install the stock rom from clockwork recovery, but it seems that the nexus doesnt have a memory card slot, and when i press install update from sd, it says "error, directory not found" or something like that...
is there another way i can install the Stock rom? oh by the way, i was messing with the recovery so i deleted the boot, so it only boots to recovery with luck..
1.how do i change the settings of clockwork to look in the internal memory for the update.zip.
2.have you heard of rawdata before?
3.whats the point of rawdata?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
did you try to go to mount the /sdcard in CWrecovery?
I did, but i just figured out that my update.zip might not be the right one, it still gives me that error, but i downloaded clockwork recovery 7 and installed it from from the old recovery menu and it successfully insalled and turned on my nexus, but now i still have problems with the dial pad, i try to make a call, i dial the numbers and when i press call the app crashes.. any idea?
sir i think that the rom you got is corrupted try to check the md5sum first before flashing...let me know ok?

Hey I can probably upload the phone app on here for you. Just always make sure to back up your stuff. But if you want you can get it. Navigate to the folder where you download it and then navigate to the system app folder copy and replace. It. But first can you do this for me. Go into rom manager and back up your current rom. Do not delete any. And you might be able to flash back to stock through rom manager. Get like a new rom download a free one and flash that to see if it fixes the phone problem. But first see if you can restore through rom manager. Sorry if this is confusing.
Nexus S 4G using miui.us with matr1x kernal 9.0 and batttweak RC1
...
That would be great if you could upload the Phone app.. I just did the back up, but im having a hard time finding a download to a Stock Rom, so I started downloading a custom rom to see if it makes any difference.
Aloha-
I recently purchased the Evo Shift 4g and i have perm rooted and have been able to flash to the supreme sense rom and back to the stock rom successfully. Mahalo for all the information that i was able to gather here to help a newbie like myself!
I had my shift programmed so that it will work with a local carrier here in Hawaii, MobiPCS. I am currently trying out the supreme sense rom now and so far so good. I have a few questions and hopefully, i didn't miss a post that has my answers.
1. I am using one of the cool lockscreens (Weather). How, if possible can i change the actual text, specifically "Sprint" that appears above the clock?
2. I can no longer gain access to EPST. ##3282# no longer works. Is there another code? I already have my MSL#. I am guessing that my first question must get the "Sprint" from data in the phone?
3. Voice Mail notification is the only thing that does not work. It did not function with the stock rom either. The only way i can get a notification is to run an app VoiceMail Notifier. Do i have any another options? I am assuming the sprint voice mail has no bearing on my voice mail service from Mobi. I don't understand if the flag to notify the phone is being changed to inform of a voice mail, why the phone natively does not send a notification. (Yes, the voice mail notifications is All turned on).
Not too sure if its okay to post multiple question in a single post, if not, i apologize!
Mahalo (thank you) for taking the time to help me!
Well, I can steer you in the right direction for question #1. Check out this post by one_love_420. I can't help you on #2 and #3 though. Sorry.
for number 3 would google voice help in anyway to help get notified when you get a voicemail?
To solve your EPST problem download this APK HERE
then it should work
BTW:Credit to Strapped365 for the link (which COULD be found in his second post on the Supreme Sense thread. .)
and if i knew who originally posted the EPST.apk a LONG time ago id five them credit here

Well bubbaearl steered you in the right direction for the first answer. Later on in that same thread there is a flashable posted up.
!!! MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU FLASH ANY MODS TO WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK BEFORE YOU FLASH !!!
HERE is the exact post.
As for the ESPT issue THIS should take care of it.
Your Voice mail should be working regardless of carrier. I would contact your current carrier, and ask them to help resolve the issue. They shuld be able to resolve the issue with you on the phone.
Mahalo to prboy1969, notsointeresting, bubbaearl, & youngcorruptionV2.0 for your help!
I'll ..attemp (lol) to do as suggested by the links provided to deal with question1 and 2.
As for the voicemail issue, the actual voicemail does work fine. its just the notification (visual, sound or vibrate) to let me know that there is a voicemail to be retrieved does not work (both the stock and supreme sense rom) As i mentioned, i am currently using Voicemail Notifier to resolve the issue, but i thought the actual phone would be able to notify me without a 3rd party app.
Unfortunately, google voice does not provide a number here out in the Pacific Ocean! but thanks for the idea...
I'll report back if i'm successful regarding the other stuff.
Again, mahalo for taking the time to help!!!
Did you follow THIS guide before flashing your Rom.
prboy1969-
Yes, i did exactly (3x's) what the guide mentioned except for the skipping of the setup...I couldn't figure out how to get out of the setup so i just cancelled/skipped to the end (hope that was okay).
I also flashed back to my stock rom (to get the magic smoke live wallpaper apk, and to back up with Titanium Backup some apps that i missed the first time), then i followed the instructions again. Both times, the voicemail notification did not work. I had a difficult time installing the Magicsmoke live wallpaper but with some help, i was able to get it going. btw, supreme sense rom so far is pretty cool.
Got the "Sprint" removed and replaced with my text! Thanks for the info and the link. very cool...
As fpr #2, the epst, the update(thank you for the zip) did not address the issue. although i guess i don't really need it since i thought i had to change the info here to resolve my issue #1. Just for my info though, why does it not work anymore? wouldn't you folks want to be able to change settings from there? btw, i did wipe the davlik and cache before installing from sd/zip. (installed from boot recovery)
As this is my FIRST android phone (always had a windows phone) As i am getting more familiar with this rom, installing the apps, etc. any other suggestions?
i did partition my sd 8GB with a 1gb ext3 as i flashed with a2sd. However, i didn't see the app in the drawer, and i wasn't sure if that's right? than i noticed any app shortcut (not sure what you call it, one of the home screens) that i installed on the SD, after reboot, the shortcut had a generic icon, rather than the app icon. (just noticed this). when i move the app back to the phone, then after reboot the icon appear fine!
I know i read many posts stating to follow the guide before flashing, and i did!!

To fix EPST you're going to have to run RUU. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Also I highly recommend using FAT32 for partitioning an sdcard or just letting Clockwork Recovery do its thing.

You can also try THIS for the ESPT. For whatever reason sometimes you have to try a few different ESPT apk's. Also one other thing to consider is, since you flashed to a different carrier ESPT may not be available. Not sure who MobiPCS is asssociated with. But either way, no you don't have to RUU to get ESPT working again . Unless of course you want to start the whole process over.
When you use A2SD you do not have to move the app manually to the SD Card. I take it that's what you did before moving them back to the phone? A2SD takes care of that automatically. Although it appears the app is on the phone it is not. Also you can post up on the Supreme Sense thread with all your questions. We'd be glad to have you post up .

I've had someone had EPST corrupted and the only way to get it back was RUU. Nandroid first of course, run RUU then restore Supreme and it works fine.
Yes, i did format the remaining partition fat32, also set to primary.
As to the ruu, i hope not! However thing to note is after flashing to my the carrier i use MobiPCS, I had already perm rooted my shift and getting into the epst to change things that needed to be changed was done (I purchased the phone used off ebay). So, i'm pretty sure flashing to my new carrier had no impact on being able to use epst. However, upon flashing to supreme, no access.
I will try the other link (thanks prb1969) and see if that resolves the issue. Jus curious but for all the others that have flashed to supreme rom, they also have the same issue regarding EPST? Just to make sure the access code is ##3282#, then call...right?
The a2sd..i am a bit confused. (Supreme rom with a2sd flashed) if i understand the reply, a2sd moves the apps to the sd (i assume the ext3 partition) yet it still appears to be on phone? is that correct? Also, a2sd will not in the app drawer at all? (i couldn't find it)
So, i guess what i did, screwed things up? I installed a2sd, it then reported many apps on the phone, of which i did start to move to SD. (thats when i noticed my shortcut (app) icon issue.
Again, mahalo for your help Vicodan and prb1969. I originally wanted to post my questions...pleas for assistance on the supreme sense thread, but since i am a newbie...I couldn't. From what i understand, not until i reach a certain level?
I'd be happy, well, sort of (realizing i would have go through the setup process again) to start over (revert back to stock rom or reflash the supreme rom) if you all recommend that....
Anyways, i'll try that new link for the EPST. will report back..
Mahalo
thanks for the new link for EPST prb1969, however no change..i did wipe davlik and the cache before updating. No errors encountered during the update.
in the dialer, i input ##3282 but when i add the last #, the numbers disappear.
I'll wait to hear back but i thought i might try to restore back to stock rom and see if ##3282# still works (it did the last time but before i flashed supreme)
If you have a Nand of the stock Rom, Nand back and check to see if ESPT works. As for the posts I believe you need at least 10, before you can post on other threads.

Hey VICODAN just for the record if you RUU back to stock. You can't just restore a Rom afterward . RUU equals no Root .
nand back to stock rom. Yes, EPST worked. copied epst.apk to sd. flashed back to supreme a2sd rom (clean).
will apply lockscreen banner update along with the magic smoke wallpaper..
Can i copy the epst.apk that i got from the stock rom and paste into the /system/app folder?
or do i need to something else first?
and btw, after flashing back to supreme a2sd rom, epst does not work
Don't know if this is the same EPST.apk you've used, this works fine on my phone running SSV8 A2SD with dodge kernel ext4. Hope it works on yours...

Ok I'm back lol ha-ha with a fresh build station, man i don't know why you can't use epst, because all of us SS users can use it fine I'm not to sure about the metro users or not, and this has me stumped because SS is basically just a modded out stock ROM so i dunno but we will all try to do what we can to get you up and running as you see here
Shifted to the extreme, cause I rawk Supreme
Mahalo for the update file rhodiggah. I'll report back to see if it works.
also, can i use the epst.apk file from the stock rom, rename the existing one in the SS Rom, and paste into the /system/app folder?
do i also need the odex file?
btw i was able to get the magic smoke live wallpaper to work by copying the apk file from the stock rom, copying it into the ss rom and correcting the persmissions, and it worked. I didn't copy over the odex file. while it works, i read about what the odex file does, and now i'm wondering if i need this file also. the wallpaper seems to work fine.
Also, an update on a2sd, yes, it does move installed files to the SD card ext3 partition! lol. and i didn't install a newer version. (Since i started over again flashing SS) which begs to ask, what happens when there is an update to a2sd? I"m guessing there is a way to do it?
Again, can't say it enough about how helpful you everyone has been in helping a newbie out!!!

READ ME FIRST!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I and/or XDA are not responsible if this bricks your phone!!! If this transforms your phone into a decepticon and shoots your eye out...
OK....what a few months its been...sorry guys been out of commission...car wreck...
Had to start over...so here we go..
First...You must be rooted...if not google it..
install your favorite root file explorer
install your favorite term emulator
ok got that...now the good stuff..
download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v6.0.1.2.zip
or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v5.0.28.zip
this is the cwm recovery 6.0.1.2 compiled from source by me...it is only for the L45C...Cant stress that enough...had to make changes to graphics from source to get it to work...
also the v5.0.28 recovery because as of now v6.0.1.2 has no sdcard partioning support because it is new.
you can choose which you like best...
put on root of your sdcard ...
make sure the file name is recovery.img
now download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/flash_image.zip
this is the flash_image file to to flash the recovery..
unzip it should have the name flash_image
use root explorer to copy the file to /system/bin
open term emulator get su rights and cd to /system/bin and type chmod 0755 flash_image
now cd back to /
still with su rights type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
if no output... wahoo.... if you get error start over
dont reboot yet...
go to playstore and download a app called Quick Boot its free and handy you want have to hold buttons to reboot into recovery..
ok...now the moment of truth run quick boot and choose recovery...you should get a su ask from superuser grant it....phone should reboot into cwm recovery...if it did... wahoo... you now have cwm
keymap is fixed and is like this.... search button to select.....return button to return..home button to scroll..
way better than before,,,to me any way...
still will get error about bad boot message but i will fix later it don't affect anything..

Hey ICE.....Is it suitable for Optimus Net P690 in India.....?????
Does this support custom themes?
p690f can't get qtadb to link phone/PC
Hi
I am stumped, as a complete novice to smart phone/linux.
At present my status is:
1. Phone is rooted, so I was able to get this done from my PC.
2. Now I have copied the recovery.img & flash.img to SD card.
3. I have Terminal emulator on phone &/or Sd card.
4. When in USB storage is activated & connected to PC, I can see all the files but on terminal emulator.
5. I have Qtabd on my PC but it will not 'see' my phone either in USB storage activated or not activated or in debug mode.
6. When debug mode activated, USB storage is deactivated. Seems both not able to be on.
7. In one of the XDA threads there was mention of 'demounting' the sd card so have also tried that in same combinations of SD/ debug.
I have been trying to sort this out on another forum but seems there is more info available on here.
I am having a huge problem tying to get Recovery working direct on the phone, mainly due to my inexperience on these devices, I am very happy to learn if pointed in right direction. Of course my concern also is not to brick the phone!!
Any assistance or links to suitable areas appreciated.
Whoops seems I posted on wrong thread, thought it was the similar one for P690, applogies.
WaHooo
I managed to finally get recovery activated using the terminal emulator on the SMALL screen of my phone!!
However I would still very much appreciate sorting out Qtadb connection as I am sure sometime in the future I will need to do some additions/deletions to my p690.
So, any info etc will be appreciated.
For any other Newbies who may see this,
1. To copy from a browser text long touch at start/end of text, then drag to high light.
2. To copy, touch highlighted area, you should get a message 'copied to clipboard'. To cancel, if you make a mistake like I made MANY touch some where else on screen.
3. With Terminal emulator started, (P690), after entering 'su' tap touch screen to bring up keyboard and select 'return/enter key'. This gives you Super User.
Long touch screen brings up menu withe 'paste',select.
4. To toggle back to browser, to same screen you were working on, hold down second key on bottom. This will bring up all the recent icons for what you were working on, select 'browser'. Continue copy line by line.
5. To toggle back to emulator, long press 2nd from left key & select emulator.
Hope this assists someone.
The p690 and this phone are not the same. This phone is from Net 10, idk about the p690, but this phone is. This one is also cdma. I think the p690 is gsm. They are NOT cross compatible. I'd brick my phone if I used a p690 rom.
sorry guys been working on code....
oldfella2... spark is right... this is for l45c on net10 or tracphone...only...the p690 is diff...there is a thread here on that phone...spark you can coustom theme. I haven't yet but I don't see why not...

dude! if you can get cyanogen working i will be forever in your debt
Update please
Hi there. Been crack flashing my phone for a while and finally got my wife's phone rooted today.
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck flashing a custom recovery yet (eg CWM or Amon Ra)? If so, please post a guide. As I have been unable to find anything using my Google-fu.
Also, all your links were removed. So other than hinting at a solution. This thread is zero help.
Thanks in Advance!
My Phone: HTC Evo 4G (flashed to Cricket)
Wife's Phone: LG Optimus (LGL45C)
I have a question regarding etc..... Does your rom include a tun.ko file and if not do you know of anyone or anyway to run openvpn/droidvpn or just changeing kernels would be nice...
I can't root.
I have an L45C with 2.3.4 on it and it just won't root. I have tried: Gingerbreak, z4root, and unlock root, none of them worked. I tried gingerbreak a few times at day, and all night as I slept, but my phone just isn't rooting!
If any of you have gotten root please do tell me how.
no updates yet?
Can someone please post a link to this ROM? I had it but can't find ir and I need it bad, phone is semi-bricked and I have a corrupt backup. PLEASE!!
Regards,
rast4man

ROM/Recovery LGL45C
What are the results of flashing this recovery? Was it successful to flash as I have a backup for the phone that I have made thankfully.
results are great. For what little ROM development, this is the best we have. Its just a ClockworkMod recovery image and then a rooted ROM. I'm still using it to this day and with all the apps and tweaks I've added, this phone rocks!!
My only complaint is I'm running out of internal space so I need to figure something out with that. Maybe I will try to re-partition my card to ext4 and try to increase internal memory by like 100mb. Apps2SD only goes so far sadly. I'm also going to try to put Team Win recovery on after I make sufficient backups. Let me know if I can help.

I was able to install the CWM Recovery to the phone just fine. Realized what I was doing incorrectly. Now to test the only ROM's that I know of that are available for the Q from Area51. Are there anymore ROM's being developed. The L45C is not a bad phone, just needs more lightweight ROM's to work with it.
