[Q] Why aren't there any roms? - Sprint LG Optimus G

I'm just wondering why because my first phone was the epic touch and there were roms the first few days after the phone was released.

There will be, most devs are working on the jb kernel issue

Jokers on the og too? Nice!

There is work being done on a stock rooted rom, kernels, and CM 10.1 by various developers, somewhat including myself. Hang out on IRC to get the latest updates. We should have a stock flashable rom hopefully within a week, but there is no knowing for sure, and if there will be any bugs.

I'm confused, isn't there already a stock flashable rooted rom

For the at&t version. The same person who made it just sent me a alpha for the same thing on our devices for me to try. Waiting to download, and will post results after i tell the developer. We have it in an .img form though.

I certainly hope there will be ROMs coming for the Optimus G... I'm split between this and the Galaxy Note II and my contract is up tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the Optimus G because of the IPS display and GSM/HSPA support, but not having community/dev support is an absolute deal breaker.

He had a lot of trouble with Sprint in his area and mentioned awhile back that he would probably switch phones/carriers. Running a search of his most recent posts it looks like he moved on to the HTC One X. I don't know if he still has his E4GT and is going to be dev'ing for it but you could probably PM and ask him.
Hate to lose him but certainly understand needing a phone/carrier that can be depended on.
He moved on to at&t

That sucks. He's a good dev. I used his ROM back when I had my OG EVO.

Damn ****ing sprint caused us to lose a great developer. His rom was the only one's I was willing to use. I love how he raised the mms to 500 people. Guess we have to experiment with other roms now

That sucks....don't blame him tough. Sprint blows.

Pretty sure he mentioned that his E4GT was his work phone and his One X was his private phone and that he'll keep his E4GT for a bit more. He posted that a while ago when people were wondering where he was...

That really is disappointing. The HTC one x users are getting an awesome dev. Maybe he'll circle around to the next device. I'll pick up again.

Mod the mms manually or some other roms have it too. Or you could push his mms.apk to another rom as long as it's the same android version.

Well, that's a bummer. So what's the next best thing? I can't even tell with all the $hitty titles which roms are legit, which are alphas, which are on their way, etc etc.
God you know things are bad when people are moving to at&t

I know he's a fellow puertorican. If he is living in the island then he probably changed to ATT because here Sprint sucks. I'm considering paying the ETF and going with either ATT or TMo. Even any of the local carriers are better than Sprint...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using XDA Premium
He was completely disgusted with Sprint especially their horrible modem implimentations when he moved on.
I heard he was abducted by aliens so he could make roms for them but the spaceship couldn't make it out the earths atmosphere so now he's being held against his will in an unknown location until they get another space craft to repair the first one and then any rom he creates after that will be out of this world.

I like the guy too from the Epic 4g days.. The only thing I never liked is I had the EvoLTE for a short time and he was blowing up that forum insulting the EvoLTE telling everyone how much better the Epic was at the time.. Kinda disappointed being I think everyone should respect any device
Kenny Glass has the GS3...so does flastnoles.... They will be here "full time" soon enough....

I'm a bit undecided as to where I'm going. The Eclipse looks nice, as do the Nexii rumors, as do the EvoLTE and SGS3. I doubt I would want the GNote2 though, unless someone can convince me why it's not too big, especially since I already have a tablet.

My upgrade is not until Jan and while I could etf, I kind of want to wait to see if there is anything better between now and then, like the optimus g and nexii.

Most of the devs working on Exynos (like codeworkx and Entropy512) can't stand it, so I think I will be avoiding that. Plus from a hardware standpoint, the quadcore A9 is about equivalent to dual core Krait, so quad core Krait will kick its ass. Plus the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro processors is supposedly as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU. It is the fastest SOC on the market. Plus, 5.5 in is pretty big especially considering that I already have a tablet. Although, I have never used a note so I would probably at least give it a chance at Sprint.

The optimus g is nice and since one of the nexus devices will be based on it, we won't have to worry about LG's overlay and lack of updates.

You might not have to worry about lack of updates but you'll still have to worry about the hardware breaking down

Looks pretty nice, but the specs seem a little behind the current curve. Isn't the S4 going to sport a 5 inch screen with a 2.0 Ghz quad core exynos?

Could you ask him why Nexus 4 Kernels boot on the E973 and Canadian variants, but not the USA variants? That would help immensely and would allow us to have cm just like they do. Then, the real work could get started (Sense, MIUI, Blur, Xperia UI, maybe B2G and Ubuntu for phone, and maybe even WebOS). Whatever you guys want, I will work on when we have a stable CM (which I am also working on).

Ask the N4 question too. That's more valuable and likely than getting source.

So far the biggest issue for Sprint has been to get the CDMA network working on the Korean port. But that was using the F180K.
Maybe now since the F180L source has been released as well it mayor make a difference.

I still find it funny that we aren't even on the launch software for most of the gsm phones. Most we launched with v10 and we got two updates taking us to v9 let's hope that changes
I don't care if this is old news or just for accessibility, isn't everyone excited about this?? I sure am!!!! I'm so excited that I am overusing punctuation!!!

Know what's awesome?...
