Root [Rom][5-26-12]Broken Out Spectrum 3.0 w/ Blitzkrieg Kernel

[nelson5280]

Love the rom. Way better than stock. Has anyone figured a way around the low speakerphone volume or are we just gonna have to wait for an update for this? Even if we have to wait, awesome job on this. Thanks.

Some guesses have been that it is beats not being 100% compatible with our hardware without tweaking.


Edit:
Sorry, i meant "without further tweaking." Mtmichaelson has done an awesome job in this ROM, and I hope it helps others to make new ROMs. we would all be stuck on stock without his help.

 

[mtmichaelson]

I'll be removing beats and fix the other things in the next couple days. Had a couple other projects just finished up on, got church tonight, but will get it going soon!

 

[zathlon]

just wanted to say thanks for making this rom, so much better than stock. One quick request, I would be grateful if you added the "long back press to close" feature found in other roms. I hate having programs open and not being able to close them without going into a task killer.

 

[MrB206]

Definitely. That is one of my favorite tweaks in cyanogenmod. Some apps don't like to die when you back out of them, but that kill command drops them into cache.

I've been running this ROM from day one and all I have are good things... Before this came out i was just about to return it. The browser took 10 seconds to load pages, the nav literally took minutes to load, and the bloat was insane. Thanks to this ROM everything is almost instant and I kept the phone.. Way too nice of hardware for the price... I thank anyone involved!

OK. I think I bricked my phone, LOL!! Well it isnt that funny.

I think I should have asked more questions on the process before starting.

Anyway..

I followed the steps as suggestted in the top post. Right now I am stuck in the CWM Rocovery on boot. I can not enter any kind of OS. I wiped and backed-up the original OS using Titanium. I tried restoring using the Broken out zip file. It goes through the process and updates then I try to reboot. I just keep returning to the CWM boot screen. At this point I just want to restore to factory settings if I can. There are so many options in the CWM. I dont know where to begin to restore. Anyone have any ideas?

I already went to verizon and ported my info to my motorola razr. I just want to be able to use the LG spectrum in the future or give it to my girlfriend.

did you do a back up in CWM before you wiped data? Did you use the button combo to boot into CWM or an app like Rom manager? If you used the button combo you could be vistim to the bootloop into CWM, inwhich case there is a .zip file fix for that you will need to load onto your sd and run before rebooting out of CWM.

Flash that in cwm after flashing a rom. Neph put that together.

 

[hager03]

I had the same problem. JUst install the bootloop .zip file to your sd card and run it from cwm and reboot .

 

[Latin00032]

Am I supposed to know what the bootloop is?

 

[hager03]

There is a whole post about it in this section. Read it,
It is in the cwm touch recovery for lg spectrum thread.

 

[Egofury]

Does anyone have the LG keyboard ?

I added the LG keyboard on my website under the stock apps

I tried to download it from your website but got 500 internel error

 

[finndo77]

Doh, let me look, I still have not gotten around to testing all of those links...

Ok, I fixed it, I had moved all the files to a sub folder for categorization and never updated the links. All of the stock app links were bad. They have the correct path now.

Also, if you copy the link, instead of clicking on it, then remove the file name, you can browse the entire folder that way, and see all the files (there are more than what I put links up for, I copied the entire /system/apps folder on to my website.)

Hey sorry for being such a noob but....i just bought the spectrum and was looking at the blitzkrieg thread. Do i just follw those steps from and be done? Or do i need to install more things first? Guess what im askin is do i need to root my phone first nan install this

 

[hager03]

First you need to root and install cwm.Go to the thread one click and read it. then go back to the broken out thread and read it.
I would suggest you read all the way through both threads and have your computer on i front of you before doing anything. Good Luck
there are a lot of smart people on here and helped me through it.

What is the keyboard app called?? I have looked twice and cannot find it.

Thanks for your hard work and time.

The lg keyboard apk is called lgime.apk
If that is what you are looking for.

 

[Egofury]

I can't install the lgime.apk it says application not installed

 

[mtmichaelson]

You just have to drop it in the /system/app folder. Not install.

 

[IMUcarmen]

hows the updated rom coming michael? I check here everyday several times hoping to see it! I had to uninstall the 1.0v because I use my speaker a lot and need it to be loud! Also do you plan on making one with the clock to the far right? Don't mean to be pushy just figured i'd ask.

Thanks for your work

My guess is that it will be a little while before we see another update. He just got his hands on 2.3.6 and it would defeat the purpose of working on a 2.3.5 update when working on the new system may in fact fix some of the problems. Going to the new system will mean trying to de-odex everything again thou and that is a pain.
