[Q] Questions about Rooted LG Optimus T

Okay, so I have the LG Optimus T and I have it soft rooted with z4root. The problem is this: There are no custom ROM's for the LG Optimus T. I can't overclock my CPU (which is a major draw to rooting) with the kernel I have installed. Can someone please help me? I am very new to this, and I'm open to criticism, but I'd appreciate it if you'd answer with helpful criticism. Talk to me as if I'm a beginner, not an idiot. Thanks in advance, guys.

I also rooted my optimus t recently woohooo!
Anyone? Is there a mod for it?:d

Well here is a useful link to JoeMomRom which he striped down.
h t t p://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-t/52395-rom-joemomrom-v1-only-optimus-t-5.h t m l
The rom is called bareoptimus. I was having trouble with link so if its broke let me know and I will try to find another.
Once you root you are going to want to flash custom recovery too, just incase anything at anytime go's wrong. Hope this helps!!!!

here is a link to a custom ROM i love it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920787

I wouldnt of used Z4root, from what I read it wasnt really meant for 2.2, I used Gingerbreak 1.20 and everything is fine...Im currently using devoid froyo final with superblue v5 theme and it's running smoothly, I tried using the darktheme but it didnt work for me, I started years ago with rooting and my very first android phone was the tmobile g1, that's back when there werent programs for rooting you had to learn how to root using TE or ADB, im still in the process of learning everything I can myself and would love to learn how to cook my own roms

Help need with rooting Optimus T
I having a hard time rooting my optimus T. Can someone give me a step by step tutorial or a video. Thank you

CyanogenMod Rom

Hi,
Is there any person or developer who can port CyanogenMod Rom on our Defy?
Or do you guys have any idea regarding this? How can we attract the attention to any developers towards our Defy?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/screenshots
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/
CyanogenMod Rom works on Droid. So That should work on our Defy as well.
Looking forward to hear your ideas guys......

We need a recovery first

How can we get that recovery?

Wait for it to be sorted - it will come, just got to be patient

What does it really mean that we need recovery and why? Please explain in a way that a noob can get it.or diect me to a place to read thanks!

Bcs recovery is needed to get the modded ROM onto the DEFY!
You need to replace/modify allot of things and this is not as easy as getting a non market app onto your mobile
And i guess there are much more people looking for a 2.2 or perhaps 2.3 then waitin for a CyanogenMod Rom!?

The modded recovery is out... Please Cyanogen make a miracle...!

my main phone is a G2, and have yet to run a CM rom, I'm, more then happy with what we have so far for the Defy, and thanks everyone efforts, if someone ports an OEm Sense Rom over this way well that's another story lol

You know what I am with the guy above. Im loving what I got so far. And in the new year I will probably do my own custom rom. I am not in any rush to get 2.2 at the moment, and im getting an android tablet today so hack time is being diverted to that

HI, how can we do that?

Google, you need to be prepare to read - alot.
Everything I have learnt is from googling - all the various android forums.

Hi, i asked google a lot, but can´t find a realy gooo anser what excatly todo.
I can compile my own rom from source, but what is with driver?Firmware?
How i implement this?

Is the bootloader locked the same way as it is on milestone, droid x and droid 2? Or is it hack friendly and we can load any custom kernel?

I missed this thread before.
I would love to see CM's rom on the Defy. In fact I would have no problem donating to the individual who makes it happen

no way!
No one wants to hack the defy!
Would easy i guess for a realy hacker.
But no one do it.
All want to give motorola devices back or won´t buy it.
Poor.

Very different phone dude, you can find a new defy for 290€, seems the Lg Optimus 2x will be around 550€ ... that's really expensive

Not true. Several people already have.

And ofcourse, if you find yourself in any situation where your phone might get wet or dropped, there's no point in comparing them.

Until froyo(kernel) is released by motorola, we can "only" have a CM5 port for the defy.
It would be great trying froyo kernel without any modules and having them replaced by DEFY ones... Doing that we would know if motorola uses the same key for all the androids

Question about porting a rom

Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!

Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?

First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.

Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

New to P920. Any advice?

Hi everyone. Having previously owned a gt540 and a p500, I've just become the proud owner of an Optimus 3D. Thing is I didn't mind messing with a budget phone and had great custom roms on both but I'm nervous about tinkering with this one. It's on stock 2.3.5 v20a. I can't even get the thing rooted at this stage so I'm looking for opinions on where I go from here (roms, kernels, etc). Thanks

Hi DELDROID, and welcome!
First things first: Rooting.
I'm running a dutch LGO3D, came with 2.2.2 and I guess v10b (dunno where to get that from).
I did root it by using SuperOneClick, mount SD card, USB debug on, done in two minutes. I did use v2.2.2 of superoneclick, it isn't (and wasn't at that time) the newest version, but that newer version didn't work for me.
As for ROMS etc, I'm in the same corner as you, I don't have any idea. Finding out myself. In this subforum, just started my own topic concerning this.
Good luck with rooting, let me know if it did or didn't work!
L

Take the plunge, flash V21a, (which can be rooted) see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
I'm a noobie and managed the above ok, with help from the forum, after flashing root and install CWM.

Thanks for the replies. I really miss having a rooted phone so I'm going to give V21a a try.

why not go for v21b?
can be rooted too and acurateam has already a rom running on v21b

why it's not worth it? i can't find any issues why it wouldn't by worth it?

I recommend V21a + ThiaiZ Custom ROM. Think you will love it.

[Q] How to port Gingerbread?

I have an old Lg c550 Optimus Chat, it's running froyo 2.2.2, no one built a custom gingerbread rom for it so i would like to give it a try. Can anyone give me advices about what to do? Is it there a guide for dummys? I'm not a coder but if it's not too hard i can try to do it. Please help me out
P.s.: I was thinking to modify a p350 or a p500 Gingerbread but i don't know what to do

Well,I don't say it will work but it's pretty tough.Porting different android versions requires great knowledge and compiling also.But,while building a rom for a specific device is more secure than porting as we never know it will boot or not.But,you may try. But,I nor xda is responsible for any problems to device.You should make a backup and have all recovery tools with you,to ensure that your device didn't get brick.
replace ram disk
Modify updater scripts
Chown and chmod lines modification
init.rc editing
Rom patching

Well,Let me clarify one thing.All are noobs in starting.When we start to try things ,we gain knowledge.When I join Xda I didn't knew any thing rather than rooting.I thought that if I know rooting fully,I will be a great dev.(Told u I was a NOOB).Then,I to become popular I posted screenshots of a build.prop edit with written 4.1.1
and told I ported jelly bean.Some people told me -Wow,you are a genious dude.I felt very good hearing appreciation from them.Then,they asked me link for his.I made excuses day after day.then,one day the moderator posted a reply which changed me.So,That's why I started to gain knowledge about all this.

Search for custom ROM which is made for your device.Try CyanogenMod or even search on this forum.My Samsung S+ was running on Gingerbread and now i rooted it with 4.4.2 and it really makes it faster and smoother.But try rooting along side a experience guy else it will brick your device

I searched evrywhere for a custom rom but no luck, cyanogen mod doesn't support my phone, the only thing i was able to do it was root it with gingerbreak 1.2.

So no one can be my obi one kenoby? First of all i would need a clock work mod recovery right? There isn't one for this phone so how can i do it? Is it hard to build?
