Old thread head:
Hi, i'm new to this forum as i've recently bought this device from my friend as my beloved Streak has a nice wallpaper (smashed screen).
I'm not really able to see who is developing anymore and who doesn't, also, i have some dev-in skills so i can help to mobilise this forum as this device is great so let's get to work!
My ideea is to get in one place all the DEV's that are working on some ROM's and all the ones that are willing to test new things.
Just post everything to get to know things around here.

I would say that the best road for this device would be CM9 fully functional, CM10 fully functional and maybe, maybe an universal kernel.
I wait your suggestions and i hope i can help with something around here

+1 for IDEA

+ 1

I'm no developer but happy to be a test pilot.
Did quite a bit on the Desire and DHD.

I'll gladly be a tester as well, i can't wait to see CM10 running smoothly on my SXL

Unfortunately not a DEV but will be glad to test roms. Loving the idea mate.

I am a programmer(well familiar with C and linux, some basic knowledge about kernels), although my android dev skills are quite questionable, but if anyone can point me to good resources on porting ROMs with linux(I've only seen tutorials on doing stuff in windows) I would gladly help with anything I can, from development and research to testing. We have an awesome, and I believe utterly underrated, device. I would love to participate with anything I can!

I totally agree with you, this is another underrated device, like my other device i have (see signature), i'm just like you, well familiar with C and linux and same and maybe some good knowledge about scavanging ROM's and porting to other devices, so welcome to the club!
I recommend some tutorials for starters, found here, here and here.
Note that those tutorials are not written for our device, so differences will surely occur in places, but is a good place to start, also, Google is a good friend, they have nice tutorials about Android found here.
In my opinion, porting ROM's is more research and testing that research and development.

I totally agree, but porting roms to me is the easy part, it was a lot of trial and error and I got many many roms booting, but without the right kernel they were kinda not much use. So I then spent many hours trying to compile an AOSP kernel for this device, but as I am kinda new to the kernel thing, I wasn't very successful.
For anything to do with compiling you will need to get very used to using github.
I used to have a Dell Streak too and loved it

Well, i'm hitting my head against the rock, trying to learn as much as possible about kernels, development, editting, in a sentence, all that involves linux kernel for android.
My adantage is that i'm experienced in C language (not Guru, experienced ).
Well, i'm kind of young (20 years old) so i think i can learn those things at a fast pace, but soon i'm going back to school (college), my main project now is to figure out all the kernel tweaks i can find, how can i model it to my liking, and how to make it as universal as possible (to support GB, ICS and maybe the future JB release if it will be ported ).
Untill then, no progress will be made by me as i like to start with the hard things first, also, JB in my opinion should be build up from source (many hours of compiling) to ensure maximum functionality.

Well my advice would be don't try to learn it all at once, because it will just get confusing, just try one thing at a time and once you've got that, everything else should start making a little more sense, well it did with me
To be honest if you're wanting full functionality from CM9 it would be better compiling it from source, because starting with ICS the kernel is built when you compile the rom, rather than working on a port of it.
As far as kernel development goes, I would suggest starting with this. Here is DutchDanny's github from his OC kernel for GB and you can then look and understand what has been changed and maybe try to port them over to ICS kernel, click on where it says branch and change it from master to BinDroid kernel. Then you will need to start learning on how to use 'git gui' and on how to add patches from one kernel to another.
Obviously you would need to download the original source files for the kernel and they can be found here https://github.com/htc-mirror/runnymede-ics-crc-3.0.16-c297c99.git
I would suggest looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039854 as it suggests the tools you would need for kernel compiling

Thank you very much for the info, the source files are downloaded since i bought the phone , still looking through them, i downloaded them from the htcdev.com, i'm a little low on space on my laptop to try and compile from source a whole ROM so i'm starting with the kernel, and see what makes what and who does who, i'm planning to buy an external HDD soon enough. Honestly, the hardest part to me in all this dev-ing is to keep researching, as i'm a little lazy, but for now i can tell you that i''m addicted to ROM development, scavanging, tweaking, reading and things like that, i think the hot sun had some odd effects on me

Yeah you will need about 30gb for a full rom compile and anything up to about 90gb for a series of compiles lol. The initial repo sync is about 6gb....

External HDD coming soon, compiling and experimenting coming soon
Since then, aquiring tools, looking around source codes, comparing kernels, right now i'm comparing source kernels and trying to figure out how the hardware really works
Hope to compile something worthile soon enough

New thing discovered today, if you hit the factory reset from S-OFF Hboot bootloader, the sd-card becomes corrupted, nice discovery, no nand recovery no nothing now
I was able to make it alive again by mounting via recovery and formatting from windows...
Hope this helps someone else out there...

Hey mate, just wondering how this development was going. We all appreciate your efforts and hopefully you are able to produce a good rom

Hey, i've been trying to port a CM9 from different devices that has the same processor (ex. Xperia Arc) and trying to compile from source an AOSP ICS, nothing good right now, still have lots of things to learn to compile from source, and my flavour of CM9 doesn't boot, so not too good right now as i was a little busy as i returned to school and had to relocate.
Hope to get something worthwile soon enough... I will try to find someone who can help me here at the university campus for the development.
If anything new happens, it will be posted here

Sounds really good we all hope you never give up the fight

[Q] hope i don't get flamed for this question...sorry if i bother anyone :\ :|

i actually have a very small question. am new to this forum and wish to know if our optimus black has any dedicated developer (like knzo) who is trying to port or make ROMs for the BLACK???....
i had an x10 mini b4 and i sold it to get this cell. now even the x10 mini (with it's paltry specs) has a working ICS build and i have a "cake on my face" feeling
i had a talk with MIUI about the support and they told me that our cell will get support by Q1 2012.
but as said, i was fancying a RAW UNCUSTOMIZED ICS flavor for our black...now, am NOT trying to create a spam thread about ICS or a hate thread about LG...
i just wanted to know whether any dev is working with our device??
P.S. - please don't kill me for asking this question.
i asked the admin for a dedicated "Q&A" forum, but nobody backed my request
waiting for your replies
Ricardo is our CM9 dev for LG devices.
this is his google plus:https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts
I dont think we have a dev for ICS ROM in XDA....
But aprold and knzo should be continuing Nova kernel from CM7 to CM9. so we just have to wait for Ricardo to finish his job!(i think still have some bugs left and camera not working)
EDIT: i think the only working ROMs we have are knzo's Nova ROM and Pay's ROM....and for kernel is Quasar kernel done by knzo and currently what i am using now CM7 #20 with knzo's Nova kernel for CM7(but the current dev has been transferred to aprold both of them are working together!) LG devices are kinda cold(i donnoe about LG O2X though pretty popular) so its not surprising to see that we have not much devs. LG peeps have been telling us that we will have our hands on official GB by November this year but i think none of us have the official GB on our phone yet(they fail in promises) that's why we are using CM7(GB) and waiting for CM9(ICS)

+1, rick is the man
Sent from my heart into yours
Well we do have some senior members helping us on a number of occasions ranging from simple theming, modding and giving little guidance every now and when up to getting overclocking kernel , but only exclusive dev working on ics rom is Ricardo.
But hey till we get our basic requirements being helped, i 'm satisfied with that; and who knows any time a new dev could be coming just like aprold with kernel project and temasek with cherrypicked kangs... So, i 'm happy.
You can see my signature, i 've thanked a few of senior members in our forum here; a little gratitude from my side.

yes...i have seen his profile in G+, thanks for the lead.
now, for those who want to gain some knowledge about porting or making AOSP ROMs,i have found a nice little tutorial for them...it's very juvenile and lucid. all you need is to run linux on your workstation. as of me, my idiot idiot brother formatted my workstation along with EVERY single DOCUMENT of mine!!!!
and am on an agonizingly slow bandwidth so cannot d/l ubuntu over again along with other necessities. i am uploading the pdf for your reference (if any1 of you are interested, that is)...all you need is ubuntu, VM/cygwin, git/source, patience and time there are loads of other guides if you are actually wanting to port a nice rom(or even thinking of making one)
(now, making a good,flawless,working ROM requires good knowledge about android and developing skills, yet u can give it a try )
once any1 starts the project and get stuck,post the work in DEV section and hopefully some of our knowledgeable senior members can take the lead
happy trying

Find devs for 2nd boot cm10 romw

i had a motorola defy with locked bootloader. There were no hope for updates and for custom roms. Till dev (quarx) did it. Now defy has jelly bean (cm10). Lets search for devs and make a donation app, so they can buy our phone add develop one great rom.
Great idea, but do we have enough people? No one will buy the phone if we can donate only ~100€
well, not to develop ROM, but better to sacrifice their/his phone to try unlocking bootloader..

we've now source code, i think it'll help us

Yes it will...well at least for a custom kernel i think. Still, drivers have to come from Nvidia. And everyone knows about their reputation when it comes providing open source codes and such.

incorrect, i made the Sense custom for Defy way before even CM9 was invented, but correct 2nd-init was working already then and no none really spend much investigating how to use it early on, but that was probably 1yr+ ago.

Quarx was the first one who figured it out, how to 2nd boot the cm7 rom on defy. maybe he could give some tips for devs in our comminity.
PS: i can remember your rom

i did mine in feb.2011 , Quarx did his first post of cm7 in april 2011, i do not know if that helps your memory. (i did check all his post on the topic) . I strongely believe i was utilizing 2ndinit on defy on a customrom, and i was introducing it here on o4x for now.
but to stay on topic, no one seems to have faith in a CM10 for O4X here, i tried to port, but that never went well, and compiling only helps so far as the ril driver is documented by LG here.
but the rest should be straight forward, since we share chipset with OneX which got quite far now.
btw,
i did post my CM10 rom as nandroid backup using 2nd init , so your request is already existing on o4x, just not with a phone functionality.

I have downloaded the file and it is .zip file .. It has two files that are kernel and platform files >> Good news
Now, I can see all the files for our O4X and everything is clear . We can make modification for it and install it by CWM
I hope you guys all the best with development . The kernel file has the drivers for our O4X

Please, look at the information of tegra 3 and open your eyes as much as you can at the official website
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/tegra-3-uk.html
Maybe you need it sooner or later ..
Best regards,
IMHO
As long as the kernel is not signed u cant really use it. i dont remember anyone using 2nd init on milestone for a custom kernel.
they actually just adapted CM for the old kernels wich is a lot of work i think... And that could be done for our 4xHD as well the problem is
actually that u need the devs for it.
And i think no dev really wants 2 work on a standart phone unless he has it and really wants to keep it and mod on it.

[Q] How to port I9300 roms to I9305?

Hello , I'm very disappointed of the interest of the developpers for the LTE variant of the S3 so i wanted to port i9300 roms from myself , according to hardware , the only changes are the modem and the ram right ? So how could i port these roms ? From no specific knowings , i'd like to at least learn how to do it without big risks of brick so help please .
Thank you and sorry for english mistakes if i've done some.

this is not a easy question for random guys like me with almost zero knowledge about developing, although on the other hand a developer could simply explain how its done by f.e. making a thread about porting roms specifically to our i9305 in noobs language (if possible) but i doubt that this will happen, as it is very much time consuming and a lot of thinking and typing work. personally i think a thread like this would bring some life into our i9305s threads, dont you think so..?
to get you already started with some learning and discovering for yourself, read further..
the best method for porting roms is IMO building from source, but this is not as easy as it sounds..
first you will need to set up a build environment. I assume youre using Windows OS, now if you got a 64 bit system this is exactly what you need.. fortunately for you and others there is a custom branch of the Ubuntu OS thanks to @sylentprofet to use with Oracles VB/VM (Virtual Box/Machine) already preconfigured for building or porting roms (both require building/developing experience though) all you need to do is download the source and commit, fork, cherry-pick etc. if you decide to step into the android development world, you will learn more step by step however having some basic knowledge like terminal commands and git commands would be useful.
Also you need to get familiar with github and how it is used, check out here
I recommend lots of research though before actually taking any actions!! all these things will make you feel :silly: at times, but do not give up! for there were is a will, theres a way
good luck :good:

your welcome bro :good:
i really have no idea about how linaro is used in combination with kernel, you really have to google that one or get in contact with a dev. willing to help you out i think the kernel is automatically installed with your build when youre initializing/syncing repos and with commands in terminal its executed to build it. you can of course compile own kernel with modifications but as i said it needs lots of research, wish i could help you..
try for now some basics with the guide for gaining more experience and who knows what you will be capable of in next 2/3 months or less

Lollipop for the Optimus 2x

Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!
um

Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

Well to be honest, i dont really know how to share the menifest because i didn't use much the source. I was porting the Cm11 tonyp's rom and the rom from timduru, so i dont really know how to share the manifest lol

Did you change some files in the zips or did you build a new rom in the way Raum described, my friend?

nope, didn't touch anything other than the updater script i think and the build prop because i wanted fully stock experience
I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.
nonono

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.
Im ready for
...WoW!...That´s Good News...Thank You for All of You, Guy´s...

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.

Need a little help.

OK so I plan to build us another great ROM for our device but I just need a few things.
1st) Can someone please point me to the device tree and kernel source to build android 5.1, all I could find was a bunch of cm11 stuff.
2nd) I need some developer support. I tried making a ROM before for a Samsung player and I was kinda left to do it alone so I would really appreciate some help.
I will be trying to make Bliss Pop ROM because it is fast, smooth and highly customizable. I'm going to attach a poll and I ask that the L90 users vote on which of the ROMS they want me to port. After this I look forward to making a custom kernal that's completely separated from the ROM and that can just be flashed in recovery.
I would love to make this for the D415, D405,D405N, and the D410. Thanks!
Look at Quarx's github.

What kernel do you suggest I use? I want a customizable kernel.

You can customize every kernel if you have the skills to. Use just the normal kernel on Quarx's github. https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_kernel_lge_msm8226/tree/cm-12.1
@OP
Wrong thread.
You should start with basics...
And learn, search, study by yourself.... You'll achieve nothing by asking for simple solutions...

I know the basics. And all that I am just trying to make a ROM that will work on all variants and will be something the users actually will want to use. I know how to develop a ROM.
Beanstalk! I loved using this back on my old Nexus One, and I forgot all about it until I pulled it out and attempted to resurrect it a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, that Beanstalk port was way to buggy to use, but I would really love to see it on the L90! I am currently really liking Resurrection Remix, but I wouldn't mind having two equally awesome ROMs to choose from.
I currently have no experience developing Android anything (very minimal experience with programming), but I wouldn't mind learning/helping if someone wants to point me in the right direction and won't laugh at any newbie mistakes. I could also be a tester as long as there isn't much likelihood of bricking the phone (have a d415, by the way).

Thanks I'll let you know how you can help. I'll probably begin work on the highest voted on ROM thursday manly because I'm sick right now. I'll be sure to make sure it won't brick your D415 before I ask testers to flash the ROM. Thanks again!
Its official!!!
I'm gonna start building Bliss Pop ROM Tomorrow and my friend is gonna start building Liquid Smooth sometime this week if not in the next 2 days. Both will be Android 5.1. Can't wait to roll out first build of these awesome ROMS!
