In case people don't seed 24/7, can't you set up dropbox to be a webseed so that atleast there is a constant way of having a seed?

Never heard of that being done before, and if it was, bandwidth would be used too fast and it would die from dropbox

Using any method that worked on ZVA will work just fine.

I wonder if there is anyway to pull the baseband from VV3 or VV4 and flashing that seperate?

Looks promising, and also brings up the idea that we would be able to retain our Root. Has anyone tried this yet?

sammyz · Mar 13, 2013

I say try it.

ZVA link is down, is anyone willing to upload their copy of ZVA or something like that? I don't need it I'm just saying.

Nope. Still Gingerbread, doesn't look any different than VV4. Guess we'll see how it runs on 4G. Did the baseband get updated? Is my pic the same BBand as VV4?

jmwinf146 · Apr 6, 2013

I went stock vv4 hoping any updates would get pushed to the phone. These guys make you work for everything. If you figure out what this update does please let us know. Tks.

jmwinf146 · Apr 6, 2013

You have a new BB mine say September something.

Well it was released 4 days ago, there must be something different.

Connectivity seems the same as VV4 @ home. I'll need a couple of days for commute to work, Boston 4G performance, 4G/1x switching behavior (which SUCKS) and watch battery consumption to compare with VV4. I'm not seeing anything different except baseband. Damn LG... Wish they would give change logs

Speeds are about the same as VV4 for me. Both are 3x faster than ZV* based, where my speeds were around 500k up/down

Spec2nirvash · Apr 6, 2013

Well come on guys, try it out!! The more people, the quicker we can assess it

At the very least, I can assure you is that it won't brick your phone and everything seems to work so far LOL..... Perhaps this baseband will be of some use somewhere?

Spec2nirvash · Apr 6, 2013

HeyJMwinF what kernel is showing on your VV4?

jmwinf146 · Apr 6, 2013

Im scared it could be a battery killer. Lol...
