To be perfectly honest, thats exactly what I planned to do lol. I was looking for downloads I can dissect, and have been researching the device a bit today since I didnt have classes.

Yes that's our kernel you just need the lg board configs from another kernel like playfulgods or Bobzhome or reppard.

@KJohn if you brick there's an unbrick guide. So don't be afraid of flashing stuff lol. The only stuff that's scary to flash is modified stock firmware...

I'm about to try tripdoc79 ICS zip for the heck of it just to see how it goes on my phone, who else has tried it?

KJohns

Don't worry sammyz, it's not the first device I've worked on lol . I remember my first brick like it twas yesterday ... (Thought my phone was a goner.)

KJohns

how'd that work out broham?

Phubu

Well i flashed while i was out on the road and i did run into that black screen he mentioned...got back home flashed R.O.C.K anyrom kernel and booted up.

To me it looks like is just touch screen that needs to be worked on, don't know about anything else. It's like triple work just to navigate lol.

KJohns

as in the touchscreen works but its dodgy or it doesnt work at all?

Phubu

It works, but its hard to explain and u have to keep one finger to keep the circle still, and another to tap and choose. Don't know if you get me... check trip's OP for that explanation: [ALPHA] ICS for Optimus M (NOW COMPILED AND BOOTING)

sammyz

Its dodgy on that rom, you are able to barely navigate..BobZhomes CM9 (me and androidhogs have the test build) has data working as well as SD card storage. Can't test anything else because touch screen doesn't work at all.

Phubu

i had caught on to navigating, but its way tooooo much lol

So what exactly is the difference between the two builds?

sammyz

One has enough working to be working as daily (except touch screen won't work at all) this is the CM9 build by BobZhome using a gingerbreadish kernel. It still has froyo mixed in a little. It has 3G working and calls working, but I can't answer because touchscreen won't work.

The other one has touch screen barely working. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, adb, mass storage, SD card reading all doesn't work. Apps don't work at all either. That's AOSP by tripdoc using a froyo kernel.

KJohns

how interesting... damn i cant wait to get the phone and start tinkering. there has to be a way to make it work. im convinced.

sammyz

It's a synaptics touch screen we have btw.

Phubu

Did he tell you when he's gonna send the phone?

KJohns

He said he was sending it this week, probably have it next week.

omgbossis21

Yea i havent gotten it out yet just got the rest of my accounts and stuff off of it today

sammyz

May as well follow unbrick guide and zero out/erase everything

KJohns

even if he doesnt ill make sure the phones clear. there are those on the internet who would steal info for malicious use - i am not one of those people.

t3084

but you could be!

Phubu

Status?

omgbossis21

Phone should be on its way..

Phubu

Cool

omgbossis21

Post up when u get it

t3084

sent via pony express

omgbossis21

I may of left an SD card in it, if so link.

KJohns

got the device - no SD inside. (no biggie ive got dozens lol.) Quick question... What are the differences between the models of the optimus? (m, s, t, v?)

sammyz

The screen uses a different digitizer.we have the synaptics touchscreen while the optimus s/v/u uses mcs6000..... I think that's the name of it..the T is a GSM phone and probably is more similar to the S than the M. The optimus one is the main phone for this series, it's a GSM phone. A lot of dev work on the S is based on the one. Dev work on the V is based on S (because those phones are identical, dev work on the V has surpassed the S with a good number of roms, but as far as stable roms, the S wins).Dev work on the M is based on the V.Dev work on the C is based on the M. The optimus U is unpopular, T is unpopular, Q is unpopular.

the reason i ask is this; there is a cm10 port for the optimus s (i believe) and i figured that would be as good as place as any to start.

sammyz

Yea I would try this instead:
[ROM][WIP]CM10.0.0-RC0-BobZ - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com
It's from the optimus v, the one for the optimus S is for a ZVJ baseband, and the ZVJ firmware is actually stock gingerbread, meaning there would be a lot of mess if you used the optimus S CM10.....it was also ported from the optimus one. The optimus V one is built from source and works on ZV4/5/9 which is all equal to optimus M froyo.

Edit: you could flash that if you wanted to, it will not brick you. It will probably boot just fine as well.

I also have one of BobZ test builds for MS690 CM9 if you would like to test that.

cwm appears to be toast ..

KJohns

heck yeah, id like to check it out. i figured what i would do is grab ones that were buggy and try to connect the dots on it and try nd get things working. reverse engineer if u will. (that sounds so unpleasant.)

sammyz

BobZhome's CM9 test build: [link removed] please ask me or BobZhome for a test build.

If it doesn't boot, you will have to build BobZhome's ICS kernel and flash it.

what do you mean??? status 7??????

KJohns

as in clicking on anything in recovery brings up the cwm logo

sammyz

Power button is not select, camera button is. Power button toggles UI

KJohns

still nothing.
[edit] reflashed cwm - good to go

sammyz

Weird...oh well

KJohns

version of cm10 i tried has major screen issues lol.

sammyz

it won't work cause it uses different driver

KJohns

just trying different things... keeping logs and such of what bugs are involved with each and going from there.

[edit: did you have a link for that kernel]

MS690 branch:
https://github.com/BobZhome/GingerKernel-thunderc/tree/MS690

You gotta build cause I lost track of my files....and it's somewhere in my partition dedicated to Ubuntu, unreadable by windows...

KJohns

awright, grabbing it now.

sammyz

default config file:

Great comparison of the Optimus One family, just one correction. Being the owner of an Optimus T I have to point that the Optimus One and the T are identical devices. The only difference is that the T is company branded to T-Mobile while most of the time the Optimus One is not branded to any company. Any software or Rom for the One can be used on the T with no issues. Oh and btw, the T is very popular in the US.

Not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to get things straight. Don't take it as an offense, I actually liked the great comparison. Just trying to provide readers with the correct information.

Ah, maybe the T forums are just dead on android forums. Thanks for the correction.
