sammyz did a lot of work on the Optimus M, maybe you could see if he would be inclined to think about working on the M+.
Just PM him, he is all over this forum helping out.

sammyz

There is no base rom....without a base, there's no way to port it. I'm waiting on PG (PlayfulGod) to make a CM7 rom.

Has anyone tried Quattrimus ICS AOKP yet? What do you think compared to BACKside?

benslgdroid

It would be hard to compare because there totally different versions and this is very stable where the other is still beta. I personally like the increase in speed but the missing abilities, mainly hd video, can be a major turn off to some.

If you think about it, they're both the same. Backside is what AOKP is on GB and AOKP is what Backside is on ICS. They both have a lot of customizations, still fast, and larger than most builds.

Or like comparing Ginger to Ice cream..
Texture, consistency, flavor, physical appearance, and everything in-between is just too different, and share nothing in common.

in the OP it says the USB mass storage bug has been fixed but I have the latest version and I have no USB Mass storage.

I tried to install the USB driver from the LG website here:

LG VM670 Support: Find Manuals & Warranty Info | LG USA

but when I use their support tool to install the driver, it just says my phone isn't connected (even though it is).

I really need to get USB working. Can anyone advise me on this?

AndyOpie150

Go back to your thread: I posted in there.

Hey everyone. I haven't checked back here in months, but finally did because I haven't seen any updates for my phone. It looks like the development for this ROM is done, where should I go next and what have you guys done? I didn't expect this, but certainly understand it. Thanks...In the mean time I suppose I'll be reading around trying to figure out what to do with my phone.

badblue1

Yea, no updates,but i'm still runnin this rom, i love it. I know many others are still running it as well and a lot of members have several phones running different roms.

I have been wanting to try ICS OR JELLY BEAN but i have no computer or wifi thanks to our great economy, but i'm old school so i'll stick with backside for now. I've gotten some cool themes from here:Digital House of Treats | Our themes were tested on animals. They didn't fit.you should check it out!!!
Or go ahead and flash a new romhttp://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/453389-optimus-v-all-things-root-guide-updated-06-14-2012-a.html you can still count on the great people here for all the help you need.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks. I am honestly getting sick of this phone, the ROM made it run smoother but I still find it lagging and freezing when opening facebook, and it can happen doing other things. I think I'm gonna swing for the $30 deal on the Kyocera Rise on Black Friday (Target) but if I don't, I will take advantage of the information you've provided me.

badblue1

I don't know what build your running ,but the 01312012 build has less bugs.

Are you overclocked ...i'm set at 480 min.and 806 Max. With the interactiveX governor, fast and smooth!

They throttled my 3g speeds last month cause i went over my usage, but i kicked up my max to 844 with no ill effects, 3g ran just as if i wasn't throttled! No lagging on this phone.

If your not overclocked you should give it a try. You should start at 480 min and 768 max, use the interactive X gov.
Mine is stable at 844max. But every phone is different

H.T.H.
—---------— ;>)

adam22

I'm on the latest build and I am overclocked. The phone is smooth but facebook is always garbage and it just tends to get slowed down sometimes. If I keep up on moving apps to SD card and deleting junk and what not, the phone is pretty smooth, it just has its moments.

you will need to modify this portion of the script and save...

from this:
/system/xbin/echo "8192" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0

to this:
/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0

then delete:
05mountsd/06mountdl/11mvdalvik
from system/etc/init.d, and add the now corrected 40ad2sdx

keep in mind that this requires you to have an sd-ext, and this modification should be done via pc, before moving to sd card for flashing... sd-ext size=internal size... fyi, illusion2.3.7 has this already baked in... ;-)

I'd say to hit up Android Central Forums. Phandroid Optimus V forums have evolved into more of a support center, while Android Central is teeming with development. I'm there way more often, while l still lurk around here.

Ditto on the Android Central recommendation. And a newer ROM is definitely worth installing on the OV. The Bobzhome and Quattrimus ICS ROMs are both very good; the Bobz Jelly Bean one also is quite usable, although it does have a few things that need to be fixed.

Do u have them installed if so copy them with root browser or something and upload them if u don't mind

That should be put in the all things root guide!

Encerspay

Hasn't been updated in forever.

uknow

OK thanks what's the best cm9 rom or cm7
(By the way I'm from the warp part of these forums and I think y'all have a bada.s phone but do y'all have random reboot?and problems installing apk?)

badblue1

Your right ... it really needs updated!

badblue1

What device do you have ...this forum and the roms are for the LG optimus v.

Some roms random reboot, but there's usually a fix for that or after a few days the roms get less buggy as it settles down on your phone.

No trouble installing apk's.

You need to find a rom specifically for your device.

Encerspay

Agreed.
CM7 is rock solid.
CM9 is almost there!

CM7 is limited to whatever you can do with Gingerbread, however, while CM9 has all of the wonderful ICS possibilities.

AndyOpie150

The most stable BACKside build, if interested, is the 01312012 build.

badblue1

+1^

; • )

uknow

Can u post a link and I have yalls device as well I love it I got apk fixed (the problem was not having gapps)what's the highest over clock for this phone

badblue1

Here you go: BACKside-IHO-VM670-01312012.zip

Green machine : GreenMachineTheme-01312012.zip

I think if you have a v built before July 2011 you can be stable at 864 depends,
I have an old v running 480 min. 806 max. With the interactive x governor, but it was stable at 844, although battery life suffers!

GOOD LUCK!

Note: The All Things Root Guide sticky, as well as all the other stickies, would be a very good place to look at.

I have alot of balls stuff no longer works

Encerspay

wat.

badblue1

What's wrong ... don't worry, it's pretty hard to permanently brick this little phone!

CmplxAdSys

Still have my OV and still running BACKside IHO on it. It's very stable and a great piece of work overall. I came back here to poke around and see if there's anything new, but have decided to stick with BACKside until I get a new phone.

I was on the latest build and it acted slightly funky on occasion, so I decided to do one last flash with the 0131 build, as the people above suggested it was the most stable, along with Brotherswing's Quicksilver theme. I'm not a flashing fanatic, so this'll probably be my last flash until I upgrade my phone in a few months. Thanks for all the effort people have put into coding and community here!

i am running BACKside-IHO-VM670-05022012 - it's great, an amazing improvement. It's the first time i have flashed anything, and it is like having a new phone.

BUT one thing - i can no longer get into recovery at all - just hangs on the LG symbol. But if I power it up, I can start up the phone and everything is fine (after pulling the battery). I have a backup file on the phone in the cwm/backup folder. But how do I get to it if i can't get into recovery?

I may have deleted the wrong files, not sure - i was trying to make some space, as I would like to repartition the SD card (I gave Link2SD too much of the space, and would like to have more for making backups (ahem) and also for camera etc...)

But, not sure what to do now - Should I try to flash a recovery with the Flash gui? I have looked, but I don't see anything about not being able to get into recovery mode - I have tried it both by choosing the reboot intorecovery option and also by holding the power, vol down & home buttons...any advice?

Thanks! (And thanks for the ROM, it is so cool to see how much better the phone works - makes me wonder why any company would cripple its products the way VM did with the stock VM670)


OK, i am an idiot, nvm...I must have done this before but anyway.. I did this (from the github):

1. Place the IHO recovery .img file in your SD card’s root folder.
2. Run a terminal emulator. If you don’t have one, download Terminal Emulator from the Market.
3. Enter the following commands:

su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery iho-vm670-recovery-4.0.1.4.3.img

hey i just downloaded this rom and its my first time rooting. everything went smoothly and is working fine. only problem is where's the time and date on the notification bar? how do i enable it? help!!!

brotherswing

Menu-settings-cyanogenmod settings-interface-status bar tweaks. The clock is there, you just can't see it because it's color matches the status bar.

sammyz

Yea, you have to change the color from black to white, or your favorite color (unless your favorite color is black )

uknow

Lol I dont know what I was saying at all that had to be a drinking night

Cynoacryl8User

Can anyone tell me where I can get a swype keyboard add-on. Seems the only screen keybd on BACKside ROM is the Android one? There are a couple of sliding keyboards on market, but not Swype anymore?

I just got my OV on Wednesday and wanted to get it rooted and ROMed as quickly as possible. It was a heck of a lot faster than my Samsung Intercept that fell off the roof of my car, even straight out of the box, but I was always having troubles with running out of memory on the old phone, so I thought I'd nip it in the bud early on this one.

Earthnfire78

Go here for swype, you well have to do an email create an account thing, but it is free.

ScaryMasks

okay so this is my first rom EVER! it was running smooth for a few days then when i try to download apps from the market i keep getting the error "process.media has stopped unexpectedly..." it doesnt finish the download and force closes playstore everytime. i have reflashed the ROM five times at least. Please help!
