I have a question about the LG Shine PLus or LG CU720.
Is there going to be a ROm Development board and if so when. Kuzz I would mind getting Gingerbread to run on mine.
I know that Froyo is coming out this winter but I dont think that know one has tried to make a ROM for the shine.
anyone know?
I haven't seen anything at all for it yet. There is quite a bit for the LG Ally but it doesn't work on our Shine because there are quite a few differences between them. I'm just hoping 2.2 comes soon, so I can unroot it and and still use wifi tethering.
I do have a custom rom but there's nothing really fancy about it, other than it can be used for theming. It's available in the androidforums.net under the "all things root" Shine subforum.
It fixed the occasional random restart that I used to have, but that was the only difference I have noticed. I haven't found any other rom's than this one or any themes for it.
Just a shameless bump...
Here's my thread on the custom ROM / custom recovery image for the LG Shine Plus, for anyone interested. I've recently updated the instructions.

Is the gingerbread released? I got a new update in the LG software tool, I'm going to see if it's the gingerbread update.
Update: Its version 2.2.2.... Software version LG-P509-V10S
That's not Gingerbread for sure.

how much longer till official Tmobile optimus T gets 2.3 upgrade?
Sprint rolled out their update this week I believe. Co-worker has one, said his phone freaked out so he took it to the sprint store and the Rep said he had to update it..I was skeptical so I took a look at his about phone and dammit it was 2.3 hopefully that's a good sign for the T-Mobile users.
I have a P509 from T-Mobile and waiting for the 2.3 release. Seems like everyone else has it but us. I am hoping it comes in October.

I know you've followed my rants on this before.
The chatter on the LG and TMO forums is still the same. The failed Optimus S update gives TMO all the reason they need to reject it.
All pissed off P509 owners should constantly be spamming US TMO and LG forums asking when, why, etc..... I do.
Yep, according to wiki docs on our phone, the optimus t wont be getting that official 2.3 gingerbread update, keep using unofficial versions or get a better phone-4g sensation or galaxy s2 yay!!!!!

I have the Optimus T and have been reading mostly conflicting 'do' and 'donts' about using Optimus One ROM's so I'm still not sure if I 'can' or 'cant'. I never expected to see a GB update for the phone though - it's long past that and since it is under the pay-as-you-go framework it won't get any luv.

Any P500 rom that uses the old baseband will work flawlessly on the P509. In fact the only thing I miss about the official rom is the missed message notification on the lockscreen. CM7 is superior is every other way IMO. Once the bugs are ironed out with Oxygen, AOSP and andys Phoenix I think we'll have one of the best selections of Gingerbread roms available on any phone.
Official LG GB utilizes the new baseband. The P500 baseband does not include the 1700 spectrum. This represents half of TMOs 3g network (according to Wiki).
I've flashed the P500 baseband and had no major problems. However, weird things like the launcher only showing 3 buttons instead of 5. When my phone booted it up it took an extra few seconds before I had network reception. Battery life was slightly worse compared to Official froyo. I errored on the side of caution and went back to the old baseband. Also, the idea of only having access to half the available 3g towers was a huge turn off.

LG released the update for the Optimus One and considering Gingerbread is just a refresh of Froyo, I did expect an update. Since the Optimus V, P505, P506 and all other U.S. versions of the Optimus One haven't received the update, there's little hope and little room to complain. That doesn't change the fact that I feel I've been cheated.
My only concern is if LG releases the sources for the new baseband, will the great 01 devs start to phase out support for the old baseband?
Well thanks for clarifying.

can you point me in the right direction, to a rom were mms size comes in normal! because everytime i try a rom my mms come in to small and thus my pictures are thumbnails like! i know i've complain about this in the past, but your saying p500 roms would work flawlessly on the p509 and maybe i'm flashing the wrong roms! if you can help that would be great?
ps. i would like to flash the openoptimus the one with the old baseband you think it would work?

The small mms issue is because Tmo doesn't recognize the phone (don't ask, it makes no sense to me either). A rom like cm7 has an option in sms settings to change the user agent. Third party apps do too.
Any rom based on official LG like openoptimus won't have this option.
If you prefer official LG without a third party app, it may be possible to decompile the mms.apk and edit the user agent.

Telus officially released an OTA update for Gingerbread 2.3.
So, yes, your phone is completely covered under the new baseband.
I dont think they are coming out with one for the tmobile version sorry
No signal

Yeah i just flashed, absolutely no network signals. Wifi and Bluetooth working fine.
I just found an app on the market that gives you the feeling of an ics 4.0 i downloaded its pretty good you guys can see how ics would look on your phone the app is called ics launcher iam not sure if you guys seen it yet just wanted to let you all know
Thanks for the info. I tried it, pretty cool launcher. I'll wait for CM9 or whatever number it'll be.
yeah i cant wait for the ICS rom to be released its going to be very nice because i think its unfair that LG is unwilling to help push out the OTA to the G2X phones which this phone can handle it but i dont understand why they dont want to but thank god that we have rooted phone we can do anything with it
Its because of LG's failed attempt at an "update", the update being that they had several phones bricked because of their genius bug fixes, that they are too scared to even touch ICS and cause even more of an uproar.
Alt+F4.... just do eeeet.
Yeah that sucks that they gave up on this phone because it still has great potentials LG just lacked at trying best to keep this phone up to date. This is the same phone I've had since the T-Mobile g2x came out and I never had a problem with it Iam pretty sure I'm not the only one. I can't wait till they release the source code for the ICS so some of these developers can start off with something for this phone because they have done a great job so far with everything else.
T-Mobile G2X
CyanogenMod Stable Version
7.1.0
Hey, everyone. I just joined these forums because it seems to be a very large network. I am thinking about purchasing a smart phone. I have two options as of now, and those are the G2X and the G2. I don't care if it has a physical keyboard or if its touchscreen, as long as it works fine, I don't care. Specs-wise, I LOVE the G2X, it seems like a nice budget phone. After doing minimal research, I came across countless threads in various forums of G2X users complaining that they were getting overheated batteries, two crashes a day, random reboots, etc.
These threads were from a while ago, so I was wondering if they found a solution to this.. I know a little about rooting and custom ROM's, and I will probably do that, and get ICS on my G2x/G2. I love the looks of the G2X and how it works, etc. The only problem is I don't want it to crash. I then started looking at the G2.
I like the G2 as well, but its a VERY old phone. It still has 4G, but I am a little concerned about the hinge. The battery life seems great and all as well..
Bottom line is that both phones are very great. I prefer the G2X since it is newer, faster, and has a lot more features. Only problem is that people KEEP saying that it crashes or that LG sucks. I was thinking about picking up a used phone off of Ebay or whatever.. Can you guys tell me what you think? I REALLY want the G2x, but if its gonna crash, I will go with the G2. If the solution to the problem on the G2X is as simple as rooting the phone and installing CM9, I will go for it.. PLEASE REPLY!
Thanks in advance.
It depends on what you need. I personally like the G2X, I have no idea why. I've rooted, and installed CM9 on many G2X's. I like the screen, and it's pretty speedy. But the crashes? I can't say it's ever happened to me. It's a nice budget phone, and does daily task perfectly.
The G2 has well over 100 Roms, and has a huge Dev Team. It's been worked on by so many people. The design is classic, the speed is wonderful for a single core phone. It's a great phone, with many great things. This phone showed off how amazing HTC was (Now they suck). There's a lot of Mods, and Kernels to make battery last all day easy. I don't know what else to say, outside its a good phone.

Thanks for the reply.. Yeah, the G2X sounds like a great phone.. I just can't have the crashes happen. LG got a lot of **** for it, and seems like it caused a huge uproar. I will probably go with the G2 for now. If you don't mind, can you tell me which mods and roms are the best? Like I don't want any that aren't stable.. I am not the person looking for stuff that is the latest and greatest. As long as I can get a stable ROM of ICS on it, and prolong the battery, i'm a happy camper!
Thanks again!

Not really sure. Personally AOKP, and what ever the latest Kernel is.

Hmm... okay. After posting in other forums, I have suddenly interested in the G2X again. According to a few people, the G2X has a brilliant dev team behind it that is constantly posting new ROM's. I will only ever flash to a stable ROM. A few others said that because of all the custom ROM's coming out, it makes the G2X "bearable." Please tell me if you think the same as well.. Maybe all of the complaints I have been seeing were outdated.
G2 has insane dev go with it

I dont know about g2x; but I have used G2 and it's a great phone. It's not the fastest phone; but, it's been stable for me and got a pretty good battery life. Devs seemed great too; so, I'd say go with G2 (especially if you like physical keyboard )

I've used the G2x and I have never had any of those issues. Its incredibly fast and performs quite well. Its also does have great development going on.

Okay, I ordered a G2! It should be coming in a day or two. I know how to root it, and I also bought a 32 GB Micro SD card. I'm gonna root it this week, which seems really easy. Only problem is the I have no clue which ROM to choose. I just want a stable version of ICS.. That has a working camera and camcorder. If you guys can tell me which ROM and Kernel or whatever to use, that would be great. Btw, I know nothing about ROM's and kernels, LOL. So if you can give me links to which ones to use, I will follow them!
Is the g2x ever going to get a stable cm10 or cm9?
No

I'll be amazed if the RIL starts working.
Not that mazout360 isn't trying hard for us.
I'm stuck with this phone till December 2014, so I'd love to see it happen, but it's a mighty bleak future.
"my mind draws lots of blanks actually"
thats a big turn around because when the ics update came out for the optimus 2x everyone was so sure the g2x would get a quick port and the g2x would be rocking Jelly bean or ICS. i guess thats dead now.
To be honest, both the CM9 and CM10 Hackfest builds are fully stable for me, and I haven't noticed any lag with Mazout's new kernel. With CM10 you semi-sacrifice Wifi however. Lacking hardware acceleration has not really bothered me at all. The GPS could be better, and it would be nice if the phone did not heat up so much, wasting a huge amount of power but the phone is fully usable and if development stopped right now then I would still be happy to hold on to this phone for a year or two.
why isnt data not working for cm10 but for cm9? also since optimus 2x and g2x are similar as far as hardware, how come g2x doesnt have touch to focus video recording like optimus 2x? i just want the new ics and jb android features im tired of GB...
Blacklist option in PA 12 for p999?
Hi, I'm using PA 12 on my g2x with Harsh's OC Kernel. I'm trying to find out where the option in the rom is to blacklist calls? Coming from CM7.1 I'm used to being able to just hold down on the number a second and the option comes up... I'm not even seeing a blacklist to manually add numbers too. If anyone knows, help is appreciated .
