Root [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the LG Optimus M MS690

[zman7]

Everything in that build should be MS690, unless I got em mixed some how. But the build.prop determines all what the market sees the phones as, tho they are the same phone hardware wise. Look for the following in the build.prop:

ro.com.google.clientidbase=
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=

and edit to read:

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-metropcs-us
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=MetroPCS
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311660

I'll make sure its correct in next build, sorry for the mix up.

Thanks PG!

I went back through the build.prop and found those lines and here's what I found:


ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-metropcs-us was in two places the first one was wrong and read ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google but the second one was right. So I edited the first to match.

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=MetroPCS was correct

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311660 was different and read ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310027I edited that line as well.

I also went through and found the following two lines:
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = MetroPCS
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310027
and removed the spaces, not sure if that makes a difference.

I uploaded the new build.prop to the phone, rebooted it and it seemed to fix the problem. Thanks for the quick response and all your hard work!

I tried adding the Swype.apk from the stock rom and from another source and all it would do is FC. You might try the swype beta out.

This worked for me thanks, this line "ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha" read Cricket, so I changed it to MetroPCS. I changed the other lines to what you said. I also replaced all the LW to MS, so that in About it says LG-MS690 now. Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem w market yesterday, saying my phone not compatible, but within my market account settings edited my phone and added LG Optimus MS690. That made my compatibility fine and allowed me to download. But @ my phone settings, model #, it does show LG-LW690. To change, how do I access build prop, thru adb?? TIA

PG, you had mentioned that your version of CWM for the Optimus M was going to be included in ROM Manager. Is there an update on this?

It is included in his latest, that was the only way that I could get CMW on my phone, by flashing PG's latest CM7. If you look in the installed apps, you should see the version of Rom Manager that we can use to install PG's version of CMW following his instructions

To change that, use a file manager, I use ES File Explorer (its free), then browse to /system/, copy build.prop to your SD Card, then mount your SD Card so that from Windows you can edit Build.prop. I used Notepad to edit Build.prop. I then replaced all the LW's to MS, and saved the file. I then copied this file back into /System. When I copied it, I first renamed the original build.prop to build.prop.old. Remember that to do this you need to mount the system as R/W. I did this using ES File Explorer, by going to Settings>Root Settings>checked on Root Explorer and Mount File System.

I have no data after playing with the plague kernel. I'm back on reppards kernel and still no data. I had data before I flashed the plague.... I don't even know where to start, all my programming is good, just wont initialize data. I guess i ****ing wipe everything and flash a different rom.

ehhh I dont know about that one lol, maybe true but I dont know that for sure.

CWM wont be available in RM until koush builds the official recovery and merges it with RM. It is in que to be done tho.

I meant to say that your latest has the version for RM that works with the instructions you put up for flashing CMW.

Loved this. Had an issue with incoming calls though. Was getting a black screen and couldn't answer. Wiped. Reflashed. Same issue. Also had mms. issues on reflash. Flashed mms patch in op took forever to send. So I wiped and flashed back to reppards rom. Thought I'd let you know some of my issues

Which version? The one I'm talking about is his newest build 9-11-11 I think these issues are fixed in the newest , just wait for him to post it. Then lemme know the issues.

Just flashed last night first with undervolted kernel and then with updated kernel when he changed it

Sorry the last post of mine was supposed to be in a different thread, sorry for the confusion

 

[zman7]

Just realized that while you're on a call if you press the Lock/Power button it hangs up the call. Is there a way to change this so it just turns off the screen instead of ending the call?

screen should go off by itself when in a call.

settings-accessibility settings you will get a pop up hit cancell. There is a check box that says power button ends call make sure that is not checked.

I had this problem to. Flashing the rom again did the trick.

It is unchecked on that screen, but still ends call.

Quick question: Why, on these CM7 Roms, do you need 3-5 bars to use mms?

My girlfriend has a stock optimus, I can hold both phones next to each other and hers ALWAYS has 2-3 bars more signal than mine with a cm7 rom. Hers will send a mms whenever...
