Hi all, I am quite new to this forum and I'd like to thanks for all the helpful infos and files I could find here for my androdevices.
I am planning to buy a phone for my gf and I saw the new LG OPTIMUS LIFE (dunno if this is the name in all the countries, maybe p350?but I am not sure)
here is a link to its specs:
(3 dablius).lg.com/it/mobile/mobile-phones/LG-smartphone-android-LG-Optimus-Life.jsp
It seems to be a smaller brother of OPTIMUS ONE (p500) with half RAM and resolution for a small case and less money.
I see that this phone hasn't a official supported section in xda forum and actually I can't find any info about rooting/modding it on google.
I was wondering if some developer is planning to support it, I would be sure to buy it if I know I could root and improve it but if not maybe I can cange my mind.
My phone is an old htc sapphire 32A, and if I go on using it, its just because of the great job people is doing here, trasforming a very old device like mine in a up-to-date performing and useful smartphone. So I will try to stick to models that can benefit this.
I also think that this model could be very similar to OPTIMUS ONE p500 and maybe there is some chance that the existing p500 roms will work on OPTIMUS LIFE too...
But this is noobish talkin...
Thank you for any answer!
Hi... I've been using a DInc for almost a year and a half; running rooted and CM7. I love the phone, love Cyanogenmod. I am in the market for a 4G phone - will probably give the DInc to my son. I am looking for a 4G Verizon phone with stable Gingerbread or ICS ROM's available. I would like to be able to root it and run an alternative ROM, preferably Cyanogenmod. I'm not seeing much that meets my needs in the CM supported devices area. Does anyone have any suggestions for Verizon 4G phones that are root/mod friendly? Thanks in advance!
Hello All,
I want to ask you guys that I am getting this Phone in cheap like around $125. I need to ask you guys that in that price is the right phone also I heard that people are complaining regarding this phone which majorly include random reboot. If I root it and flashed it via any custom 4.0 rom will it fix these problems ? Also I didn't understand what are the GB roms mean ? If anyone can suggest me a gud MIUI or any 4.0 rom it would be great.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.

Do yourself and your sanity a favor. DON'T pick up this phone! It's backed by a lying company, and it's an Nvidia based product making it subject to Nvidia's stuck up policy for releasing hardware drivers. Get something else. You'll be happier you did. LG NEVER again!

So....for the sane response. If you're planning on sticking with the stock firmware, then I'd also say to move on to another phone. If you're comfortable flashing a custom rom, I'd say if you can wait a while the this will probably be one of the best phones available.
To clarify, stock on this phone is very poor. CM7 is pretty good, but still has some bugs and obviously lacks all the newer features of ICS/JB. Right now we don't have a good ICS/JB build, but we're hoping to have one soon. Source was recently released for one of our "sister" phones. RC (Arcee, Ricardo) has already released CM10 for the O2x, but is ironing out some details on it atm. The reasonable assumption is that after is done with that, he'll make a version for the G2x (as he did with the "hacked" version of CM9 in the past).
So in short....hardware's great, but software's crap. Hopefully we'll see improvement on the software side soon though

At $125, if you will be satisfied with running Android 2.3.4 such as the stock LG/T-Mobile V21E or V21Y or a modded ROM of either of those such as Weapon, then the phone is a bargain if it is also in very good condition. The phone may or, most likely, won't get any further updates to ICS and/or JB even from developers such as those on XDA or Cyanogenmod (CM10). If you want to get the latest Android, buy a newly released NEXUS qualified phone with JB which will also get future Android updates.
Yeah, for $125 you can pick up a new non-LG phone that is far superior in terms of support and feature set. Anyone who recommends you to buy an LG smartphone does not care for you the way I do. I want you to live your life, not sit here in an XDA forum like the rest of us waiting to be saved by the open source community.

I am interested in one of those phones for $125 (unsubsidized cost). Name them and what support and features are superior to the G2X.

Fixed your post. The p999 will be definitely getting CM10. Right now, were just in a period when all the other devs are being respectful to arcee and waiting for all the kinks to be worked out of the p990 CM10 before porting to the P999. Plus we will most likely get official CM support from arcee as well.

Respect. Odd concept these days unless between gangs when it is used as a warning before all hell breaks loose.
So far, even though asked repsectfully and politely, RC hasn't provided any information about providing CM10 for the P999. I think we're hoping that he will after he gets some of the problems with CM10 for the P990 remedied. Apparently, he doesn't have a P999 but there's a rumour that he's getting one which I hope he does so he can optimize CM10 for the P999 without a lot of iterative programming. It's difficult to figure out what's happening with other developers, whether they're holding back out of "respect" for RC or they're gone from P999 development (there's one XDA member currently trying to port the P990 CM10 ROM but is having serious difficulties doing it).
Hey buddy there isn't anything wrong with the g2x as a phone. It still has tetra 2 and plays well with a lot apps and games. Its much better than any low cost new phone out there.
Leave it stock and maybe rooted and you will be fine.
Unless lg releases ics for it you wont have a full working ics rom for it.
And the problem isn't nvidia! Tegra2 devices are everywhere and the t3 is one the highest demanded chips out there.
Lg isn't totally to blame either.
The problem is anytime you buy a branded version of a phone it has to wait to get its software out too. So since the g2x says T-Mobile on it, they are also the reason the phone doesnt have much respect for the dev community,
Have fun with your 100$ phone. Best you can't find a better one cheaper

I wouldn't let NVIDIA and LG off the hook for blame, they both have caused problems for the phones NVIDIA's chips are in and LG for the phones it makes. I own an unbranded Optimus 2X which is exactly the same as the T-Mobile G2X in every respect except that it is LG's branded phone. How did that happen? It's because it is a Canadian Optimus 2X which was sold by some Canadian cell phone service providers such as WIND Mobile and Mobilicity and operates on the same AWS bands as the T-Mobile G2X. It came with Froyo and, in spite of it being advertised as being upgradeable and to receive an upgrade to Gingerbread, it has not received any Android OS updates at all and, according to LG Canada, never will.
I'd say $75 would be the price I would recommend it at. I paid $200 with contract unfortunately

Hi,
I'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
I am looking to upgrade the ROM on my phone since some of my apps are no longer being supported. I dont want to purchase a new phone since I really like the phone and the new phones all seem to be mini-computers. I like my small phone!
Is there anyone out there that can point me to a ROM that would work for the Stellar and get me to at least 4.5?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Your device doesn't have a dedicated forum here and as it's fairly uncommon and several years old there doesn't seem to be much dev support for it. The only relevant thread I could find is this one but it isn't too helpful. That's all I have I'm afraid, unless you want to ask in the general Q&A and hope for the best.
