LG Nitro HD Repository​
I've noticed that the repository in the Dev section doesn't really get updated very often. So, I'm making a new one that I will keep updated as new ROMs/Mods and root methods come up. If you don't see a ROM/Kernel/Guide listed, let me know and I'll get it on there.

Awesome job. I was thinking about putting an updated repo together for our section, but I decided against it, but yours is great.
Now, I have some constructive criticism and/or ideas for you which you can decide to either use, or ignore.. but here are some of my thoughts.
(I've included info, followed by a link, followed by the bb-code for simple addition to your list, excluding formatting (you can add that :highfive: )
From what I've seen, most of the best roms we have include Adreno libs and GPU Driver Update, so I suggest adding them:
I personally recommend the GPU Update if using CM10.1 (or roms based on it):
Update (GPU) (KGLS) drivers
HTML:
[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163066]Update (GPU) (KGLS) drivers[/url]
The Adreno 220 drivers should be a useful addition, even just for dev purposes if nothing else:
[Driver] Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU ICS Flashable Update {UnSigned}

[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636778][Driver] Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU ICS Flashable Update {UnSigned}[/url]

And I also suggest including some of the available p930 dev information that you've missed:
Might be obsolete, but might want to throw it in:
[DEV] LG-P930 Source Code- Let the deving begin!
HTML:
[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474736][DEV] LG-P930 Source Code- Let the deving begin![/url]

Also seem to be missing V20e Telus Stock by HO!NO! , or it may be improperly labelled:

It may also be a good idea to include some popular themes and apps.. I love the MIUI x4 Apex/ADW/Go theme, and the Touchwiz 5.0 theme for CM10.1 and there are also several very useful threads, and information in the Android Development and Hacking sub-forum.. Might want to take a look there, and include some of the good info provided there.
As I mentioned above -- and this is just a thought -- I suggest simply copy/pasting the thread title instead of the way you have some of the roms, and such labelled; as they are somewhat misleading to a native English-speaking person (me), so I imagine people less fluent in English may have more trouble finding exactly what they're looking for via this thread. Again, as I said everything I've suggested here are simply that - suggestions. I am not trying to tell you what to include, or how to make a thread, and I hope my tips are useful to you.
Thanks again for taking the time to put up an updated repository, and taking on the responsibility of keeping a thread updated for our section of these awesome forums.

Thanks NFleck! I've added the ones you listed to the repository. I'll go through and find the popular apps and such when I have more time.

Nice update. I should have seen it sooner. I like that you separated them by android version as well so you know where to find what you're looking for. Thanks man.

No? They're for the lg p930.. With some being ported to the korean model.
Never heard any mention of being compatible with the lg spectrum.. Although with the same processor/gpu there could be some cross-compatibility. I'd look in that sub-forum for dev...

I'm terribly puzzled
I've have spent 16-19 hours on my computer trying to find the best Rom for my LG Nitro HD. I have explored each and every thread above read and studied the comments one by one, over and over again trying to find a good and stable Rom. probably one that works fine. fast and smooth. I'm a complete android noob, android is not common were I'm from in Africa. People here prefer Blackberry and Nokia Asha phones so all I have is you guys to help me. I know there is no perfect ROM out here, there is always one issue or the other. when i was going through the threads i got confused so confused that i cant make any decision. I have not installed and tested any Rom before. I don't want to risk and use my phone for experiment. I use LG Nitro HD AT&T Unlocked. Please guys tell me which Rom that has Good-Normal battery life, sensitive digitizer, smooth and fast, less random crashes, application compatible, Bluetooth and data working, camera and 1080p video recording working and most of all does not require unbrick process. May not be as good as what i listed above but anything close to that will be well appreciated. Please help a brother. You guys are way far better and experienced than I am. I know how to install Roms, Root ETC. dont need to teach me. Please all I need is suggestions.

I'll hit the most important point first; the need to unbrick. If you are running Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) then you will not have to unbrick; merely flash CWM once you are rooted. If you are running an official 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, I regret to inform you that you will indeed be required to unbrick. No way around that and it's really not as hard as it looks.
My answer is going to be quite general as the important qualities are fairly static from ROM to ROM. That being said, the ICS and CM9 ROMs will likely be your best bet as far as stability and battery life go. CM10 and up seem to be fairly stable as well but go through battery much faster than ICS. For the most part, the other qualities you have listed are quite close to being equal across the board. Some may be smoother than others, but in my honest opinion, the differences between ROMs - outside of battery life and 'bells and whistles' - is negligible and tends to come down more to personal preference.

Thanks for the reply. I'm running Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread)/ Rooted. did CM9 Roms Eliminated the the Lag that comes with LG Nitro HD. I noticed that the phone doesn't run so smooth compared to other dual core phones (Skyrocket, ETC) and the screen digitizer does not register your touch so easily. Did any of these Rom tackle the matter? I'm ok with just the normal Battery life. I'm thinking of Liquid Nitro. On your opinion Does it seem to work for you?

[INFO] SlimKat on E975

Hi everyone,
I've changed the focus of this thread to collect all the info and help about installing the geeb version of SlimKat on our E975.
After having SlimKat by @fusionjack on my I9100 as a daily driver and seen its smoothness and stability, I've found the geeb version of the latest SlimKat and would like to have it on our E975.
Feel free to post all that can help to make it work on our Optimus G
Thanks in advance to all that will give an hand
UPDATE​
After a full wipe, all went good!
Currently running SlimKat on E975 without problems with @gearslam Ak-xGenesis Slimport-MOD kernel
Just follow the usual steps if you are coming from another rom, like me:
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe /cache
- Wipe /system
- Flash SlimKAT build
- Flash gapps package of your choice
- Optional: flash adreno update package
- Flash kernel
- Optional, but with my E975 I always do this at the end: flash SuperSU zip
- Reboot
All done!
All the sources for those too lazy to search XD
- SlimKAT builds: www.slimroms.net or @arcardinal thread HERE
- Gapps package, I prefer the micro modular one: HERE
- @gearslam kernel, the one tested, but other gee kernels may do the work anyway: HERE
- Adreno drivers april update: HERE
I think that's alla for now
Thanks to all the respective creators of kernels, rom and so on

Would also love an official SlimKat build for e975. A few devs gave it a go but couldn't fix multiple errors. The good news is that all you need to do is flash franco mod kernel after flashing geeb SlimKat

Hi everyone,
I'm a newcomer here in the E975 section, as I've floated around the I9100 for some months
Since I really like @fusionjack unofficial SaberMod SlimKat, I'd like to build one for the E975.
I've found a geeb build HERE and I would like to know if it's possible, starting from that, to port that to our E975, or if a simple gee kernel is enough.
I'm a newbie in building roms from scratch, and for that I'm googlin' a lot while BBQLinux iso is downloading
Any help, hint or advice is really appreciated
Thanks in advance for now

geeb is a cdma version of og... so after flashing the geeb rom u need to flash a gee kernel so that uget signal and data... it dont need port or anything else..u can flash any geeb rom and compatible gee kernel to get it work....what happens if you flash only geeb rom without kernel.........???? nothing happens it flashes and you would be able to boot the rom and everything will be working except fot mobile signals...if you are licky enough you may have signals also ... lol

So the steps are:
- flash geeb SlimKat rom
- flash gapps package
- flash mod kernel (franco or similar, but they must be MOD version right?)
- reboot
One last question: will the camera be recognized as a 8 mpx or will I find all my 13 mpx? XD
Thanks guys

IF YOU FLSH GEEB KERNEL U GET 8MP CAM .. IF U FLASH GEE KERNEL U GET 13MP CAM.. :good:

OK, tried the latest geeb SlimKat weekly with the slim gapps package and 2 MOD kernels, FrancoMOD and AK-Genesis by @gearslam, but at the reboot have had only fc's.
All I've wiped are /cache, /dalvik and /system, not data, to not lost all the apps installed.
Will try with a complete wipe and let you know asap

What about the camera?
On any rom based on AOSP, including SlimKat, the camera can not focus on objects that are further away 20 cm from the phone.

Generally speaking i touch to focus no matter what rom, even stock. Slim camera focus is much better than 20cm. I use several camera apps too, again irrespective of rom. Just backup current rom, give slim a whirl, if you dont like it just reinstall backup

Is it true that slimkat has the best battery life between 4.4 roms?

Back to the I9100 days, I can say from my experience that the SaberMod version by @fusionjack was the best rom regarding stability, smoothness and battery
For that reason I was so happy to see that a geeb version exists, and would like to try it even on my E975

I thought i just learned that geeb was for The e970 and gee/geehrc was for The e975 sprint and international version?
Sendt fra min LG-E975 med Tapatalk

Hi everyone, using the slimkat from some weeks, all OK.
The only thing is: random touch not responding at all sometime. I have to reboot to make it work again.
Do I have to set some settings with trickstermod since I've tried ak-xgenesis and ported Francomod kernel?
@nchc and others can you give some hints?
Thanks in advance ?

I never had any issues with slim. I just got bored and eventually went back to stock. I was on an earlier build and most likely earlier kernel too . When i get home ill c what kernel i had, perhaps you could flash that to see if it improves touch issues. Have you updated to latest weekly and moded kernel?
Sent from my LG-E975 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Well I'm on latest weekly 5.4 with Francomod r206, since there's no update from then for the kernel, and the issue seems to be gone for now. Maybe I was having some problems due to gearslam ak-xgenesis ported kernels?
Thanks for now

An update just to let you know that weekly 5.8 is working good with francomod kernel ? 4.4.3 is working good 'til now ?

I would like to try slim on my international e975. Which modded kernel should I download? GEE or GEEB? Can anyone please let me know??

Those for gee and with MOD in the name: francomod4gee for example ?

Another update just to say that even with gearslam's ak ported kernels it works like a charm

Considering coming from Optimus 4x HD to Optimus G

Hi guys
I'm now running LG 4X HD. It has so much dev support and like p880's devs very much. But battery life, heat from Tegra and bugs and lags in AOSP roms are making me tired. All bugs are introduced because of the fact that p880 stopped at 4.1.2 android and sources provided by LG along with it. But devs made 4.4.4 happren anyway
I can exchange my p880 for LG optimus G without paying for it. Question is: is it worth it ?
I would like to know what do you think of dev support of OG:
-Are there good kernel available ?
-Are there bug free 4.4 ROMs ? (p880 have CM, PA, SlimKat, Nameless, OMNI and many others )
-Are the sources of LG 4.4 android available ?
Thank you for answers, I must make the decision, to jump or to stay
EDIT : **** ! I thought I was in Q&A section sorry ! If mod would move this thread I would be happy

DO IT!

I had an Optimus 4X HD 2 months ago, and I was tired and frustrated by this phone, the battery life is terrible, the performance should be more for what it says on paper, the only thing I loved about this phone was the flash
One month I have the Optimus G, coming from 4X HD, and it was the best decision I could make this phone FLIES is very buttery, the battery life is decent, what does a real smartphone and from like 2 weeks ago I was upgraded to KITKAT by LG, is the best phone I've ever had, excellent gaming performance, the only flaw I see so is the camera.
DO IT NOW, you will not regret
Sorry for my english, Google translate.

Thank for info !
But what with the ROMs ?

This shouldn't even be the question. OG is superb phone even today (of course despite camera but 4X has even worse ) and 4X was outdated when it came out.

Damn, I've just read that the phone is so cheap because it is f180 version...
Anyway I can flash custom roms made for e975 ? I know I can convert , but does this mean that I will be able to run e975 ROMs ?

from some points of view G is even prefereable over G2. let alone 4xhd. Do not hesitate a second. and yeah, dev support is better than any other G serie phones.

Yes!, The F180 is the same E975, just having a different modem, but you can convert it to a 975 with no problems, but I tell you now, make a backup of the EFS folder, to avoid problems with the imei, I I can help you with everything you need!, no problem
About the ROMS, Omni, Carbon, Lego ROM (it is very good), among others that are also quite good, however, I liked more the rom stock, it is very fast, smooth and stable as any, and the life of the battery is amazing, hope I've helped

So no real difference beetwen F180 and E975 ? Just flash ROM and F180 baseband after it ? Are there any problems after conversion ? One thing that puts me off about LG stock is the looks of it, so that's why I wanted to know about custom ROMs, if they're stable and smooth.
I also do not care for radio ,Thanks for all the help !

I used to have an LG optimus 4x HD 1 month ago, and change it for an optimus g, and the difference is brutal, the only flat point on this optimus g, is that camera haven't flash aided focus, so low light photos are terrible blurred

If the optimus g is in good condition i say do it. Just know that the roms on the optimus g are no better tho, our roms are not buggy but devs always abandon the projects and leave us with one or two major bugs, aside from cyanogenmod tho most 4.4 roms are pretty stable, then again also a lot of devs always overclock gpu and cpu and disable thermal throttling -_- which is completely unmecesary on this device seriously, that wont compensate for the lag on the rom, but im just bwing butthurt. I say do it, better specs and shares a lot with the Nexus 4.

The baseband is the only difference, for the rest, the optimus G has the best utility which can have any LG, called Freegee (need root), with this application you can make backup of EFS, unlock bootloader, restore EFS, install CWM , EVERYTHING!.
It can be rooted with Towelroot or framaroot, is very easy, if you are installing a new rom, and you have no signal, restores EFS and go!
else you have not mentioned is that there are several models of Optimus G, and each model has different roms, you need to read the guides and tutorials, roms to understand that to serve models.

else you have not mentioned is that there are several models of Optimus G, and each model has different roms, you need to read the guides and tutorials, roms to understand that to serve models.

1 - Root with towelroot or framaroot
2 - install Freegee from the play store
3 - Backup EFS
4 - Unlock Bootloader (Mako method)
5 - go to recovery with volume up + power, then move the options with the volume keys and select "Recovery mode" then press power
6 - Install your favorite rom, then the baseband, and enjoy
If you do not run into signal restores EFS with freegee and that's it

Hahaha Nah in my opinion CM sucks, **** always has bugs here and there in every release, reboots and battery drain. Irecommend unofficial omni rom, its the only bugless rom ive tried other than stock, theres a lot to try from tho, most of the bugs our roms have are minor so dont worry, also you can jist use stock kitkat, stable, battery life is amazing and it is pretty fast.

I 100% agree with this. Moved on to official KK Sling on my optimus G when my phone locked up for about 2 hours and when I tried to turn it on again, its screen kept ghosting for 2 or 3 hours I dunno.... I had to keep it turned off in my Fridge and luckily the screen was cleared off again.. Not moving on to any rom containing Custom/CM kernel ever. Damn that almost threw me off the edge about owning an LG phone right there but trouble was the rom.
I'd say Prefer Optimus G over anything (except if the hardware is more recent and powerful and u got wallet for that). Especially, with latest official KK release from LG and its mods, battery life is rock solid and phone doesnt burn your hands.

Okay it seems I will not have to sell my p880
I can buy "damaged" f180 (someone bricked it , it stays at download mode) for around 30 $ I'll just reflash it and use it for some time , try different ROMs and decide whether to stay on p880 If it boots into download mode there's no reason not to be able to unbrick it, yes ?

If it boots into DL mode, you have a VERY good chance of restoring it to stock; basically, it's not bricked. For 30 bucks, what do you have to lose, anyway? Lucky bastard! I always buy my phones cheap, but this is as good as free...

[Q] Which ROM is better for LG G Pad 8.3 V500 ?

I recently bought LG G Pad 8.3 V500.
I want to root it but not sure what to do?
1) Should I turn into Google play edition ? (Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553192)
OR
2) Should I install Cyanogenmod ROM (Here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=v500)
Based on stability or usage / features - which one is better ?

anyone ?

Every cm or Aosp ROM is better than stock,although if you are on 4.4.2 and you flash an aosp ROM you will face some backlight issues that can be solve with AIC kernel,I suggest you to go back in stock 4.2.2 and then install Philz Recovery and root of course,I got problems with tarp,philz works great,right now I'm using Dirty Unicorns without any issues and the tablet feels much smoother,its your call

You are already in right place!!!is your tablet rooted?have you custom recovery?notice that is you root your tablet your warranty will be void!!
So if something goes wrong you will stay with a beautiful bricked tablet...
You must search before you will procide to this situation,for example,which model you got?eupore one or us carrier?
you can see that in settings on about tablet,then you will need the right tools and a computer to execute the commands,i recoment to to see some youtube videos before you will do anything and first of all make sure you will do a nandroid backup if something goes wrong.
Good luck!

Hey friend welcome to the forum!
I'm running Mahdi latest and last build.
And redKernel.
But you have to test all ROMs out and decide for yourself,
This ROM is better then that ROM talk is usually looked down upon here on XDA as every ROM developer spend alot of time on there ROM for the community.
Only advise I can give is test all ROMs and decide what one you like best
As far as Kernel you can go redKernel for CM AOSP ROMs.
Or
AIC for stock based (you can flash AIC for CM as well.)
But on stock ROM, AIC Kernel can overclock CPU and GPU slightly

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I've got my tablet currently on 4.4.2 (it's a v500 like op's) and I'm considering moving away from stock. However it seems that one of the downsides is that you lose the IR ability on the tablet. Is this correct? Are there other features that go missing when you move to a custom rom?

Yes, no IR function available in any customized ROM.
I need to use Skype. I tried CM and ACIP, they cannot run Skype properly. If anybody know a ROM that can run Skype properly, please let me know.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786566 Use that. Also, F240x generally means all forms of F240 (F240l, for example), and then flash CM11 or another AOSP based ROM. Carbon and BlissStalk are good ones too

I looked this forum already but i dont see a link for download kernel f240l and gapp. They show only link rom download. Maybe this rom no need to flash kernel right?

That is the kernel itself. Feel free to test it. I am on VANIR now and all is perfectly functioning.
How to:
1. Flash your CM11 ROM
2. Flash GAPPS
3. Flash this kernel
4. Kaching!
Of course do the wipes needed, and please use latest recovery.
IMPORTANT!
1.) If coming from stock F240x, I suggest flash first the ROM first:
ROM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4ohMhs_kMaKeFJVTUdJNjVsQzA/edit?usp=sharing
FIX: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lseokglsialjtqz/Fix_17.5.14.zip
2.) Then install FREEGEE, install CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery, place the CM11 ROM, GAPPS, this KERNEL to your device storage.
3.) Reboot to recovery, make a backup first to be sure, do the wipes, flash as instructed above, do another dalvik wipe, boot to system.
4.) If all is well, then you are good. If not report back here.

He suggests using the ROM if you are coming from stock. If not on stock, then just use kernel after flashing an E98X ROM

CM11 has knock on? This is news to me...
As far as I know CarbonROM, Beanstalk, and PAC all don't have knock on.
Carbon, however, has pocket mode that slightly drains battery, but it isn't nearly as bad as knock on
