Hello community.
I usually follow the SGS thread as am a proud owner of one.
Though i got a secondary device - LG GC900 (LG Viewty 2) - that i want to convert into android phone. I read somewhere on the net that some dude did it but i wanted to be sure about keeping hopes. Any ideas
Hello sarvesh29
I got also a Lg GC900 Viewty Smart and want to update it to an android Phone, but all I read in the WWW is that it work or that you need the LGMDP_EURO.exe to bring the new Firmware on the Phone. So we need only a android-firmware what is able to use on the GC900. I hope someone can help us to solve the problem
i got 1 gc900 too i'm gathering information to see what i can do, will be nice use some OS like android on the gc900
me too got this phone
n i too want android because i m too familiar to android as my 2 ex-devices were android

Hi guys i'm nes on this forum, i'm italian and i have a samsung captivate i897, i also take this opportunity to introduce myself...
Now i expose you the problem:
i have a i897 captivate marked AT&T for this i have a problem to fix the GPS and to install applications outside the market, I would like you to help me to make clean OS from the applications AT & T and put in i897 a i9000 ROM not rooted...please guys help me, and thanks in advance
1. Read the new owners guide.
2. This forum is about learning things by yourself. Don't expect to be spoonfed.
3. Custom ROM always =Rooted mind you.

I read the guide but i'm desperate,do you recommend something? can u post the link of the better rom and kernel that i can use? im noob in android world
I can't recommend anything man. Everything is good.
You have to discover by yourself what suits your needs.

the new user guide (that i wrote) teaches about stickies! and where to find them!
find the stickies in the captivate general, q&a and dev forums they have all the answers you are looking for and way more.
go. read. learn.
this is really basic stuff. At&t does not like you installing apps not from the market "its called side loading" you need to be rooted to fix it and there are pleanty of guides "one click root has an option to enable non market apps" to get a different rom go to the dev sectoin chose a rom and follow the simple directions or for a guide for the entire process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Assuming what you meant was that you want ATT's crap taken off and a new ROM...
Why would you not want your device rooted? If voiding your warranty is a concern it's fine, there are plenty of methods to return back to stock Eclair/Froyo. And there really isn't a ROM out there that's head and shoulders over the rest, you're going to have to play around and see which one you like the feel of the best. Try out a different ROM every couple of days and see how you like it.

If you are asking someone to help you build a rom well... I don't think that will happen. You can go to samfirmwares.com and download a stock i9000 rom, but without root you, and if you don't know how to build to incorporate the home button and haptic feedback fixes, your phone won't work right. My suggestion is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
They are all stock i9000 roms with only busybox and root installed. I'm using the stock jvh on my captivate, at the moment, and it works great. You will have to deal with root. It's better to be rooted anyway.

ty for the help guys one other thing...after changing the rom i can use kies to update android? if there is a new version i mean
U wont need to use kies. Any update released by Samsung will b atleast 1-2 months late than the ones in this forum. And neways,once u load custom rom, kies wont recognise ur fone. Don't worry v all hate kies,u really don't need it in the least bit.

Only replying to that small part of your post, and correcting you by saying no, you don't need to be rooted to sideload applications. SWM (Sideload Wonder Machine) can do it so long as you have the drivers installed and USB Debugging on. I installed several applications as soon as I got the phone, long before I ever rooted my phone, much less installed a custom ROM on it.

Why didn't you use google? There are plenty of places that explain how to root that aren't on this site, which is more an "advanced" place anyways(I use that term loosely, but I get the idea that people here assume you know a little about your phone).
Check out MobileTechVideos, the guy who does those had a three-part, in-depth ROM flash set of videos that explain exactly how to use One-Click to Root.
Edit:
Christ dude, use some decent punctuation and at least attempt to be succinct in your requests. Freaking out isn't going to get you anywhere.

i was informed that this is the "place to go" for rooting info & to not google it, and i do know about my phone, that's why i want these useless apps off and to flash cognition!! i've got the cognition part just need the rooting part. how about people list that info instead of saying "phone must be rooted"??? show me how to root and i can do it. what files do i need, where do i get them, where do they go????
i have been all over this site searching the words ""how to root samsung captivate"" how can i make my search more simple and direct than that??

Ok guys a friend of mine has a Nokia C7-00.1 with the Symbian OS. I was wondering if it was possible to root this phone and put a version of Android on it? Ive been searching everywhere and have found nothing.
One more question. I have supposedly put the legit version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my htc G2 that i found on this site and i was just wondering if its any different than the version that was recently updated my tmobile and if i should uninstall the version i currently have that I acquired and in turn allow tmobile to update the phone itself...
The first question is more important because symbian is wack and his phones specs seems like it could easily run android. Please lmk what the deal is DEVS
Thank You,
Krypt0
You are the most awesome man on earth! Install an Android OS to a Symbian based phone... RESPECT!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
pls anyone respond on this thread please.

ok so as the title states, i need some help with my lg optimus q on straight talk wirless
this phone to my knowledge is simmilar to the s, and the v versions with the t and the one versions being gsm but i am not sure on that
heres some info
Modle number LGL55C
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version LGL55C_6170
Kernel version 2.6.35.7
Build number GRJ22
software version LGL55CV1
so to my knowlege this is a basic version of droid direct from google without much done to it but to lock out tethering in any way and ofcourse the root access. also to my knowlege the 2.3.4 must be downgraded for the root to work before being rebooted into that version or the root will dissapear. this is all based on the optimus v so im not sure on any of this. and i realy need some help
HELP PLEASE
*Bump* Also searching for this
i've found a few links for the recovery and an alpha version of a rooted Operating system for it.
But i've not found the directions for rooting it.. which makes my other finds useless. and i cant post the links to them because some stupid spam prevention on this site demands i have at least 8 posts before i can put up links.
** i found a working root for it.. but since i cant post links.. i'll do what i can..
androidcentral .com /virgin-mobile-optimus-slider/126357-possible-root-try-4 .html
remove the spaces.. you will find a post on the page that has this..
You could more than likely follow [How-To] Root, Custom Recovery, NANDroid Backup but when you get to post #2 (custom recovery) you'll want to adjust for Recovery for the Straight Talk Optiums Q(LGL55C)
follow those links and directions.. i have it working on mine
now about some custom operating systems.. i've only found one.. i've misplaced its link its called lgl44c_Dirty_Alpha_2 think the author said it was just stock with a few extras added.
best of luck to you.. sorry i cant give out the links.. blame the spammers and the forums rules... since my account is several years old you'd think i'd be able to..
Bump any progress?
life is better with root and ICS.
any update

Check into AreaRomQ so far i have found nothing on here for this phone other than people trying to find where to get mods and other things for it with no luck at all. I ran across that rom around july/august last year. You can find it on AndroidArea51 . com (take out the spaces... fail for the no link posting for people who actually are trying to help) Hope this helps you guys out a little better!!!

I am having problems as well with rooting it. I tried Jcase's way, says it cannot find the right directories for the su and lgroot,sh files. Which really is aggravating and I need help.

Do a google search for root master. I used that to root mine and it worked in minutes. If you are having trouble finding it, I can post the URL to get the download. 2 versions are available. I would try to get the english version, as the other is in Japanese. Hope this helps.
