That should be put in the all things root guide!

Hasn't been updated in forever.

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Don't worry about the title of the thread, it's just where my ROM and recovery flashing tutorial wound up.

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 )

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

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.

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