Wanted to know if there will be a forum started for the LG Optimus S. Have it rooted, and wanted to know if any devs will do work to get recovery working and start developing ROMs.
This would be Fantastic! Phones have gotten so big lately so the size, the 2.2 & the features along with the build quality have this at the top of my list for Cyber Monday. A modest speed increase would make this thing dreamy. I would love to get that file from you if you don't mind. I could do with out the recovery for now as it would still let me tether.

It took me few tries but got it to stick eventually. The link is http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s/43108-how-root-lg-optimus-s.html
great thanks! Rooted LG Optimus S is a reality a day after its released!
Oh this is cool! I just saw it in the store yesterday and it feels like a really solid phone. I hate that it doesn't have a hardware "d-pad", but I might be able to look past it given how smooth it operates. Now that it's rooted... awesome!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/16/lg-optimus-one-hits-million-mark-its-fastest-selling-phone-ever/
Seems like it might be worth giving it its own subforum.
Is that the same phone? The button layout is different...
Just flashed recovery image thats working. If anyone here is interested the link is http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-s/219777-need-dump-build-recovery.html
Doesn't seem to many developers here at xda are to much up on working on this particular phone at the moment. Hopefully they do, it is a great little phone that far exceeded my expectations.

Hey guys I rooted my Optimus S and flashed this from android central. http://www.mediafire.com/?9cca3y42qjqcsnf and for Sprint Apps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12856751/spint-apps.zip . Then I ran a full benchmark test I got it to 992.
I hope this helps.
Download to root of sdcard the to enable jit. Benchmark goes up to 1003.

I take it the Optimus S is the same as the X2 (Dual Core Tegra)
If so, then Im the same. I plan on buying this phone next month (released end of Jan in the UK)...finally replacing my HTC HD2...but wouldnt buy it if there is no intrested from the Devs at XDA.
So whats the plan? Is the LG good enough for its own forum here?
Hell Yes it is. I hope they update us to GB(android 2.3) sometime soon

Absolutely not the same phone. The LG Optimus 2x is going to be the worlds first dual core processor. The screen is a 4" screen, camera is better, full HDMI out. The Optimus S/T is a great phone at a great price, but in my opinion it wuold be a downgrade from your HD2. I would suggest waiting for the Optimus 2x. That's going to be an amazing phone. I am sure it will get it's own forum.
Blame LG for not having a little bit of creativity. Come on, they have 4 widely different phones all named optimus. I think the Optimus 2x should be called the Megatron 2x!
It will still be nice if the Optimus had its category.
Well, I see ppl from XDA doesn't interesting so much in O3D. There are only two kernels at the moment: stock and Acurateam beta kernel which is pretty sh$$ty. I see noone want to compile the kernels, noone want to see how can we O/C O3D, or maybe someone want, but he doesn't know how? Write here you opinions
I got mine today.
Maybe this is all due to the fact it's a very recent phone and there aren't yet any developers with one of these.
Anyway, anxiously waiting for CM7 and better kernels.
I believe the reason is also because they're waiting for 2.3
I'm one ****ed up user definitely. The O3D doesn't feel like it is optimized with the so call full dual channels chipsets. The old Android 2.2 make it worse. The 3D is awesome, but using the camera in 3d modes and browsing 3d contents is sluggish. It is a huge frustration to turn on the 3d camera and switching between 3d video. When it is finally able to take the moment, it has already history.
If LG doesn't promise with the gingerbread in Oct, I will feel really ****ed up with LG phones. And even if they will, the flaws might not be fixed. I'm only putting high hope with cyanogenmod with everything working. I give it another 3 months, if nothing changed I will chuck this phone. I've experienced with few android phones, I've never feel so frustrated with a "high end' phone. It is not polished in many ways. My old HTC HD2 ported with Android had way better experience with this phone. This is freaking annoying to me now, and I'm feeling stupid of spending such money for a phone. I'm giving this phone 3 months time!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
from acurateam have worked and are working to bring something better than stock, we are not experts in modification of kernels for android (but we are working hard), we know that this device can take a lot of potential, and try to help with our work, some great developer soon appear, we are studying to improve O3D
With gingerbread longer possible improvements, froyo is simply
The phone itself is great, the biggest problem here is LG and their b*** s***.When I bought the phone I sold my SGS2 and the reason for that was 3D, I didnt expected it would be as fast as SGS2, but it is actually, it is a very nice device.The biggest problem is GB, LG promised it would be out in September, but than they release an update with a 3D converter (what is very nice actually), but doenst fix our performance problem.The problem here is not the device or developers, as I said before the problem here is Froyo and LG.

Hi every1 I just want to say that i'm little bit disappointed about my LG P920. I sold mine SGS and got myself LG 'cuz You know specification is much better but there's no roms.On my sammy I9000 i had all kind of **** like for example 4.0.3 build-15 sic! and here acura rom , kingrom , thaiz and rushdroid and there's no beautifull themes. Damn it's so sad because i like this phone a lot but we users of P920 don't have a support from developers. I used flash my SGS every single day and i loved it , now i'm fu..ed there's nothing to flash. But the worst thing is that i could have I9100 but i didn't take 'cuz of 3D now i regret it a lot . Fuc. that 3D bullshi.. i want decent softs and mods and all that good shi.

Where is the question ?
Make yourself a ROM or a theme and help community to grow ?
Want to compare the top 1 most sold phone in the world with O3D ?
Do you really thing SGS2 is more worth than 3D function in O3D ?

IF you don't care about 3D, Hdmi output, then flash cyanogen Mod Nightlies, you will be surprised on how fast this phone will run, I was ready to smash this useless phone until I tried CM7, soon we will have ICS as well.
If you can sell it, do that and wait for the the SG3, the release will be very soon.
I will never ever buy any LG phone again or any other LG product.
couple month ago when I took the phone for service I was told I am the first person with such a problem ( random reboots).
Then my friend went to the same service center with the same problem and he was told also that he is the first person to have such a problem.
I am now actively commenting on as many articles out there as possible on the web that talks about LG phones, the more I warn people about LG bad products and lack of support and lies the better.
Hi every1 first of all i want to say that 2 months ago i sold mine galaxy S I9000 and i had an option: Galaxy S2 or LG P920 unfortunatly i got LG and now everyday i'm *****ing and crying like a little sissy because there's no roms for that bull**** phone.
My girlfriend still has SGS and there is plenty ICS version for my phone nothing not even one.Everyday i'm checking LG P920 section and every morning i got mad because of it. Now i'm stuck with LG because i can't afford to buy SGS 2 .God damn
i don't know what to do with this .I like the size of the phone and omap inside but i have to sell it and go back to SGS.I wrote this thread just to let every1 know how LG f..k me up , i hate LG and this 3D bull**** , so have a good day to every1
lets go spamming lg facebooks and mails
couple week ago I have the same shoes as you, confuse between sgs2 and o3d.
before I choose I try the two of them.
and I know, my heart tell me that I love this 3D bullsh*t thing.
I need something more multimedia ++ haha...
I thing beside the 3D TV, device that suitable for 3D is on smartphone, yes.. just like our O3D...
btw,of course I'm not pleased with LG about the slow update.
but you know in this forum there is a lot of great developer that help me extend to remain patient..
Most of the devs said that when ics comes out they will start deving like mad but as i see it by the time lg release it our phones will become outdated. Then all the work will go into the newer 3d max and etc shame this phone was really good. But just the lack of development from lg killed it..

Yes, you are really crying like a sissy, and I don´t understand why you blame LG for this.
LG has A LOT of problems they can be blamed about, and the delay for ICS is definately a shame for LG, but otherwise, you can´t blame LG for "no ROMs". If you say the phone is ****ty because you can´t find "lots of custom ROMs" for it? Then you should blame XDA developers (or lack of), right?
I already said this in another thread: if your hobby is to flash a new ****ty and half-working ROM every morning, very well, go look for this elsewhere, the O3D is not the phone for you, really. But please remember that while we have just a few ROMs here, most of them are stable and usable, and this IS NOT the case of many other phone models, which have many ROMs available, but most of them experimental and completely broken.
If you guys really want to blame and spam someone, let´s join forces and spam arcee, not LG, because he´s the responsible for LG in CM, and if you check his G+ page, he did a dirty half-done job for the O3D and moved on for other LG phones. It´s clear he´s looking into QUANTITY (many ported phones) and not QUALITY. And the O3D DESERVES the best from arcee, we are talking about the flagship of the manufacturer he´s dedicated to in the CM project.

That is just ridiculous the O3D was the first CM9 rom arcee created on any LG device for reasons only he knows he has chosen not to release.
I suspect this is due to the usual b*ll**** he received on development of CM7. People requesting 3D compatibility which arcee stated from the very outset that this was never likely to work unless LG released their real 3D framework. A problem he does not face with other LG devices.
Can't blame him for releasing CM9 on other LG devices I ask you 1 question could you do what arcee does?
I blame myself for not doing my research on lg's reputation. I have and will hate HTC and Motorola.. never had a Samsung device I didn't like. Should have stuck to my guns but the hardware and dual channel ram tempted me too much.... my bad really...
PS. I flashed 20c kdz and installed thiaz 2.5 stock rom and I love my phone again. Highly recommended!!!
That's all I got to say bout that...
I flashed V20c and all was going well till today when my friends and family rang me all day and my phone did nothing and then when i finally called everyone said i was ignoring them...
I guess i need to buy the samsung galaxy s or the nexsus s out right and then use my sim i can't take this anymore and no i do not want to go to ****ty froyo baseband it sucks...
I'm in the same boat as Trekfan here. Try ThiaiZ's rom, he just released 2.6. use his kernel update as well. I also applied a ICS theme that doesnt' just give me icons, but dialer, texting, and everything on my phone to look like ICS (everything but the real deal). I have also deleted every useless application off my phone, and i now have upwards of 250mb free ram during regular use. phone is much faster, smoother, stable and not missed a call once.
i know there isn't as much development and action as the S2, but then again, the 3d didn't sell over 20 million units... we're not completely left in the dark. thanks ThiaiZ!
here try it out:

I think you're wrong mate. Perhaps there is no such as a ROM for the Galaxy S2, but here each ROM is very stable and reliable .... ALL Optimus 3d developers make excellent and stable ROMs, and excellent kernels, everybody can find what suits him ... ..
I have personally tried all ROMs , and I can say that all great and very very stable
I became a fan of the Thaiz ROMs, Thaiz currently using 2.6 with the ICS theme
I can tell the phone operate and behave perfectly, and that this should be when he left the factory....
Waaah waaah...no roms! Pathetic reason to hate on a manufacturer. LG aren't faultless but they cannot be blamed for the lack of custom roms can they? Maybe you should look a little closer to home - if you wanted a handset you could piss around with all day in that respect you should have tried some old fashioned research before purchasing.
Maybe you should start a "bye bye LG" thread when you exchange back to Samsung just to really let everyone know what you think eh?
Sent from my LG-P940 using xda premium
With all due respect give me a break please ,check sgs section how many great roms sgs has .All of'em are based on ICS and the phone is much weaker than P920.
I can't figure out why developers don't wanna mess with our phone.We don't even have decent themes ops my bad except one yeah just fu...ing one that's pathetic , i gotta sell that amazing phone and i swear no more LG for me
Everyone can create a theme using UOT, with a couple of clicks.
Then it's just a matter of selecting a theme for your launcher.
It's not LG's fault this phone is expensive and therefore with a much smaller userbase than any other 100€ phone.
Great phone, negligent manufacturer
Before buying it, I already knew that I was going to have loads of problems with updating, LG is not what I call 'reliable'. But I still chose it because its a smartphone with great specs, large screens (IPS, much better than the heated Super AMOLED Plus that did not deliver a great experiences, with yellowish stais and bluish whites, nor Atrix's grayish and dark screen with the pentile martix, my second choice, just staying behind LG's NOVA, which is outstandig), tri -dual technology and 3D, the one that besides HTC's EVO we havent seen before. But the developers surprised me where LG disappointed. Right now I'm on ThiaiZ 2.6, with ICS theme (kept Prada launcher), and removed system apps, like kylereid's suggestion - and using a 20b brazillian baseband used to remove ghost calls problems on thrill, and I've experienced no problems since flashing it. It's perfect - for gingerbread. I am too craving for ICS, and LG did release real3d source code, I guess: developer . lgmobile . com/real3d
ICS update should've been released already, Jelly Bean has already been announced and we'll have official ICS by the end of agust, its too much.
I love the O3D but LG has screwed it up.
well, same history here bros.
-i had the i9000 before, i like it and the communty that support it so much, but it's getting old, so i decided to get something dual-core, bigger and faster.
-bought my girl the SGS2 beforce, we are extremely love it, fast, vivid, light and big big big actively communty, i decided to get me the LG 3D( because of 3D, and we do have SGS2 already), and i must say - this decision is my BIGGEST MISTAKE OF THE YEAR
-the 3D is not as fast as the S2, free ram is too small, cant heavy multitasking on it, battery life is terrible, and of course, GHOST CALLS, my boss, my clients and even my family and my girl started hating me because i didnt answer their calls, when i want to open the camera, it will take 3 seconds or more until the interface appears ect..ect... im too tired and fruscating of it, so i took out the sim and use it as a mp3-player..
-finally i managed to get rid off it, just sold the optimus 3D and bought the moto Atrix 2
huge huge huge differences i must say, there are over 910 MB of RAM here, install all things, open tons of apps but phone still smooth, never go under 150MB free ram (sorry but smooth like iphone 4s, even the animations are very nice) .
while both of the phone have TI 4430 SoC but in the atrix 2 apps open instantly (my op3D opened opera mobile in 2-3 second, but the atrix 2 opens it in 0.5 sec, and never auto close unless i turn off the phone or force-close), camera app opens in about 1 sec ect.......
Im not trolling in this thread, but well, you should avoid LG, and go for other brand (like samsung with the S2, moto with atrix 2, RAZR), LG is good at making TVs but not smartphone..
sorry for my bad english thought.

You guess cause they haven't... It is just the real3d sdk platform that allows devs to create 3d app USING the real 3d framework which is not released as of yet. It is stil proprietary. I querried at lg.opensource and what they said is that they have no immediate plans to release the damn thing. If you think that they DID have immediate plans to release ICS since December and they SAY they will release in summer when they will actually release it in fall if it goes like GB, then you can imagine when and IF they will ever release the real3d framework...
Never man its the goldmine of LG

My mistake, so whats left is hoping Ricardo Cerqueira is still working on cm9 and using dual boot with gb in order to still have access to the 3d stuff. LG could at least release the 3d framework since theyre not willing to release ics anytime soon. Not surprinsing though, its not like LG hasn't disappointed its costumers before.
