Root [DISCONTINUED] SimplicityXL {Updated 5/17/14}

No Google and no pretty circles. Just the LG

Then something is up with your phone, it should at least boot to the google logo. Use the flash tool to go back to ZV4, update to ZV5 and try again.

Will do as soon as I get outta work, thanx bro

Enables scripts on boot. That Optimizes APK'S, speed up reading of sdcard, turns off CPU1 while the phone is sleeping so that saves battery and some more.

Nice!

Hey Chev love the ROM, thank you thank you. I think I found a minor bug. If I go into settings / wireless/ more then connection optimizer it force closes process android. phone. I'm thinking its removed from the ROM. Right?

Yeah thats because its removed from the ROM, i could fix it but i can't. LG screwed up something with the ZV5 update and now i cant build the fix for the settings app to remove it as an option.

Says I'm not supported... And I've got no idea how the heck to work this thing. Haha. Any insight, buddy? I'd appreciate it!

go up a bit, theres an off button tap it to make it say on and reboot it.

Love the rom but found a bug. Doesn't matter that much but if you use pattern lock making the hidden pattern (where you tap the screen to make the pattern to show up) doesn't work when checked in settings, just keeps the regular pattern

Oh, and one more thing, has anyone tried acid audio on this rom? Or even this phone? Been meaning to try it out but haven't had the time or been able to have my phone turned off for awhile

That's because it's an LG feature but LG's lock screen is disabled so it won't work.

I finaly got it, before I was flashing CWM with adb and trying to flash the rom, didn't work for me.

This time I just unbricked and rooted, then used 2nd init to flash the rom happiness

Looks great bro, smooth az the F7 gets !arty:

Oh, completely forgot about that.
Also, (sorry for so many questions, I'm used to the ZTE and that phone was really simple with rooting) is there anyway to get cwm to boot with the volume keys while the phone is off? I actually can't even get cwm to boot using the 2nd in.it method (method 2 on http://unleashedprepaids.com/thread-8379.html) since I installed the rom
Is there a different method I should be using to get into recovery?

 

[WILDrBEAST]

Heres how I got CWM...

download this file: fx1s-cwm.lok

and flash with adb:

Code:
adb push fx1s-cwm.lok /data/local/tmp/fx1s-cwm.lok
Code:
adb shell su -c dd if=/data/local/tmp/fx1s-cwm.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

I notice terminal emulator crashes when I try to open it??

Thanks for reporting.

The lock screen (swipe and touch) don't work either. Touch doesn't work at all, a s swipe can be unlocked by hitting the menu key.

i know touch was something that i enabled but forgot to remove cause it did nothing. Yes Swipe can be unlocked by touching the home button that comes default.

Is actually the menu button that unlocks it for me... Haven't figured out how to disable it

I'm considering either uninstalling terminal emulator and re-installing.
OR just installing over the one currently installed.

is it integrated as a system app?
could I skrew sumthin up trying?

na you can remove it, its under /system/app/*com.Name* dunno what the actual name is but if you use es file explorer it has the icon displays so you can just delete it when you see the correct icon for terminal app.

 

[WILDrBEAST]

Found it to be /system/app/jackpal.androidterm-1.apk

I deleted it, downloaded a current version, and installed over it.
Seems to work fine now.

Sorry, still kinda new to rooting with this phone. What's adb? And is there any chance this could soft brick my phone? The only backup I have is from before I installed this rom and I also don't have a way to restore if something goes wrong since my laptop crashed

 

[Stoken]

*ignore* phone duped my post for some reason and it's not letting me delete this

 

[Mako 230]

Any chance of this restoring the tethering ability that the zv5 update broke?

Never???

 

[jun10r831]
