To a certain point it's ok... You just don't want to modify something that will trigger a security error.
What are you wanting to do, as far as mod?
Have you seen the CM9 for locked bootloader?
It's a step towards building a ROM for locked bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684856
He is aware of the limitations of the bootloader guys, he's referring to building a ROM that doesn't conflict with the 2nd-init and such, like the locked CM9 we have from Pollos. He's probably interested in learning how to port CM10/11, I myself wouldn't mind taking a look at that information either.
Not exactly but that gives us an Idea to work towards...since I don't run Ubuntu it will be difficult but the Cyano website does give some info on how to build a "build" for a certain phone....but how to undo lg security error for it is another problem

No sure what your setup is or if your actually running or dual booting a Ubuntu machine but you might want to check out BuildUntu.. It's a preconfigured VM system all ready to build and compile.

Well I'm not sure if by "Guys" you are referring to me, But if you read My post... You are basically only reiterating what I have already posted. Although we do appreciate you speaking for the OP on his behalf.
Obviously anyone here with knowledge of the L9 devices are completely aware of the limitations of the locked and encrypted bootloader. It's perfectly clear that he is wanting to build a ROM that doesn't conflict with the 2nd-init, what would the point be otherwise. This is why I mentioned the CM9 for locked and unlocked bootloaders, is a good reference and starting point in attempting to building other ROMs for L9's with locked bootloaders.
It's also no good to assume whether or not someone is familiar with or aware of crucial information... This will undoubtedly get a fellow member into trouble or brick their device.
Another thing that might be worth looking into is trying to intercept the stock kernel's call for the pre-hardware file/chargemon and then have it instead call on the custom rom. optimumpro has already said and is willing to help with this.... Although he needs a CM10 ROM, not 10.1 or higher to begin working on it. If we could build one or maybe use the CM9 to figure out how to achieve this, it maybe worth looking into.
Well I'm dual booting BUT its kinda slow...and WiFi doesn't show up in 13.10 might have to boot back up to win7 and uninstall ubun

If it is, can we somehow include this device, and the Optimus T in the Optimus One section? Maybe you can just take the "One" out of the name and/or not add "All" in it's place?

yeah, when I say the same I mean in terms of running all the same stuff. Like if a ROM works on one, it works on the other. I'm thinking this should be the case; almost certainly for the S and T (just stands for carrier), and I'm thinking for the One also... with exception to the radios. I'd love to see people try that out to see.
I might be getting the Optimus S for my wife if I don't manage to get the Transform on Black Friday. If I do, I'd be willing to guinea pig it.

andriodcentral forums has a section for the optimus s with root custom recovery and a rom
Thanks! I'll go check it out
optimus s i not like the optimus one p500 its a different device, optimus T is the exact same as optimus one p500.
no optimus s is just different on the outside.. it is nothing but the optimus one in reality
Optimus T & One are the same, S is similar but won't accept the same flashes, etc, because since it's a cdma phone it has the msm 7627 where the T & One have the msm 7227. Happy now?

Hey there guys I'm new to the forums but I've been using android since the G1 launched. I just got the LG optimus C and I know it's nothing powerful but it does the job and runs netflix pretty well now. Well I have it rooted now with Gingerbreak and was wondering if anyone has gotten a custom rom running on it yet?
I managed to turn swype off (big fingers dont mix with swype on this screen) and I changed the home screen, disabling the LG one. But I would really love
to get CM running on it like devs have managed to get running on the V and other optimus devices.
I apologize if this is in the incorrect area, I knew the phones were similar on a hardware level so it was the closest I knew.
Anyone had any success or suggestions?

Have you found a recovery program that supports it? I don't see it listed at http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html
Someone claims to have gotten one going.I forget the name but it begins with an X. I know the custom optimus roms just need to be tweaked slightly for this device. Unfortunately I suck at custom roms, better at psp coding. If anyone wants to port it i'd be so grateful i'd donate.

Since there are no real experienced devs in L9 forum. In very near future also it is not possible to get too many developers coming here from other devices. Therefore...posting this out of huge frustration.
I was thinking about a BOUNTY call for EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED DEVELOPERS who can build Custom Roms with many features as we already have unlocked bootloader. This was suggested to me by a user at least 2 months before for L9.
:laugh::laugh:How about calling a BOUNTY to be started for custom roms ...
with completely rebuilt custom Kernels with various profiles, like business, gaming, longest battery, etc.
with completely rebuilt bugless custom Kernels with safe and faster OC profiles from 1.2 to 1.5Ghz.
with completely rebuilt bugless stock rom with memory tweaks and missing bloatwares.
with completely rebuilt bugless CM, PA, AOSP, PAC port.
with completely rebuilt bugless Ubuntu port.
with Roms which can support all L9 Variants.
with working OTG
with working MHL
with working memory hack
with modded camera with hi-quality profiles
with really working Bravia Engine and not placebo
with really working Sound Enhancements and not placebo
with full support for theming
with full regular support for updates and willingness to for more wishlists.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
With current userbase here, it should not be difficult for us to achieve a goal of calling a bounty from $1500 to $3000. Bounty will be only for totally bugless Roms. If everyone of us can share a bounty from $10 to $100 depending on the wishlist items and its possibilities, I think we can achieve goals. Bounty can be declared for individual requirement or for all of above in one.
Come on pals, give me your opinion and wishlists. I have never started a bounty before or dont have an experience, I also don't know the rules. But if some of us could come together we can find the ways to move ahead. I dont know how this is going to workout if everyone agrees it may work. I know some will take me seriously :good: and others can simply laugh it out. :laugh: I really don't care. lolz
** It is known fact that, developers dont own all devices, but when bounty is declared they buy/borrow devices and start working on it.
**We may also need a group of beta-testers who should not leak the beta builds supplied by developers for testing.

I wonder if something like this could be done on Optimus L9 and making it Galaxy Nexus. I know this can't happen probably cause galaxy nexus is samsung device Optimus L9 Lg's baby.
Porting roms from galaxy nexus might be possible for experienced developers cause Optimus L9 has very similar hardware like Galaxy nexus. they both run on Ti Omap processor. Lg has Ti omap 4430, Galaxy nexus has Ti omap 4460.

Will gladly pay $10 for OTG.
My personal opinion is that, L9 is not unfortunate for not having good developers, but its unfortunate because this phone is in middle range and no generous users I can see here. Some talk about 5 bucks and some give lame excuses. We expect too much and shell out too less.
I also dont see good number of response after 400+ views. This means people are reading it and simply ignoring. I think now this thread is useless and not going to serve any purpose.

Hi,
I bought my first Android phone over year and a half ago for dirt cheap and it was the ZTE Blade. It had a great community and I liked trying different custom roms.
Now I feel it's time to upgrade my phone but I'm not willing to spend money on a high-end phone, so I was wondering if you would recommend the L9. I read the Info about the L9 variants and their differences and compared it to the specs on a local store's website and as far as I can tell it's either P760 or P765.
After looking at the forums it looks like there are more roms for P760, is that right? Should I look for that rather than P765?
Thanks.

If you are not in the U.S.A. or Canada it will "not" be the P769. This will be good as us P769 users do not have as much development as the P760/P765 users.
The P760 ROMs will work on the P765 just fine. I believe the only difference between them is one has NFC and the other does not.
I recommend the L9 if you want an affordable good quality device. The performance is not bad either. If you want more custom ROMs get another device as development has been slow.
Welcome to the L9 forum.
Thank you for your reply!
I think I will be getting the L9. Is it easy to brick this phone? Also, what is the difference between "android development" and "original android development" forums?

Easy to soft-brick. Almost Impossible to hard-brick.
Soft-brick is easily recoverable by flashing the KDZ file which is the complete ROM from LG.
Hard-brick requires sending to manufacturer. So far nobody has done this.
The new naming scheme for the forums are confusing to me also. "Android Development" is where we hack the original ROMs. "Original Android Development" Is where we make custom ROMs. At least that is how I understand it.

I don't think anyone has done any new fixes for 4.3 conversion, as there's really not much point anymore. Some of the old fixes might still work, but you're probably better off converting back. Is there a particular ROM you want that hasn't been ported? If not, what's your reason to stay converted?

There are plenty of 4.3 ROM available for non converted devices which are non stock, and which yield excellent battery life. I recommend you try some of them before dismissing them.

I saw this and I figured I'd jump in, I'm also converted and I'm wondering about a GPS fix- I've easily applied the fixes for Ext SD, Cap Keys, etc, however GPS seems to aloud me- I can't find a way to make it work in a normal fashion, Maybe if I'd give it like a long time it would work but then what's the point?
So, I was wondering, what was a way that worked for you to make GPS work?
Additionally, I will say that in all my time doing android (hasn't been long, but I've gone through at least 7-8 devices including most of the flagships) I've never seen any version of CM run as smooth and stable as a stock nexus 4, but that's just me- I like roms who work fairly quickly out of the box, not ones where you have to keep putting out fires and fixing stuff.
Anyway, regarding my question- any idea how to "fix" GPS?
Most of the experienced users and developers do not approve of the n4 conversion and a lot of us explicitly refuse to support it. So convert back, you should have just been patient and waited the wee bit of time it took to get aosp roms on here without converting.

Is that so? A developer's website which doesn't support developing? How wonderfully condescending of you!
Couple of things:
First off, I just did this conversion, after having being annoyed with the optimus UI in my optimus g which I procured from ebay at a wonderful price of 170$ for a mint in box price. I figured converting to a nexus 4 would simply grant me a wonderful stock rom to use, much like Galaxy S4 use flash the GPe rom for their own use.
The fact that this very simple process (honestly, just use the tot file provided in LGNPST, god almighty, it's child's play! only ODIN is easier than this!) is not supported in my eyes just goes to show the truly awful state in which we found ourselves in- Instead of exploring new avenues, we fear advancement and change and are told to "stick to our pre-approved roms".
Well sir, perhaps I'm not your idea of an "experienced user" but I will not be kow-towed! I'll just figure this out on my own, as I did with most things I needed to figure out while helping my friends with their android devices for the last couple of years.
Not to bash the devs of course, they offer us choice and we choose to put our heads in the sand.
In any case, have a wonderful day, let me know of anything else you don't approve of so I can immediately remove it from my life-
Electricity? Running Water? Breathing Air?
Good day!

You're completely missing the point. It wasn't about being condescending at all, but to inform the user that no one with E970s are working on the converted version anymore, as you can run the ASOP perfectly fine "natively". So, since all development is going into working with the latest releases on non-converted E970, why should we recommend N4 converting your E970?? No one will help you should anything go wrong.
That's not being condescending, just a statement of facts. Sorry.
This issue could be avoided if people would just do a bit more reading before jumping into the conversion. I agree there is no real point to convert anymore.

The conversion was a hack released against the wishes of those who discovered it, then left unsupported. Dvhexer released some patches until 4.1 update made the whole thing pointless. If you convert your phone so you can feel like a rebel that's fine, but it will be pointed out how silly it is if support is asked for.
