Alright cool! But why do we need the same kernel that we all have installed right now anyways? There isn't any difference right?

 

Maybe it is a backup in case someone would like to return to stock or return to stock and start removing bloat they don't want (like if they made a mistake the first time and removed too much). Sounds like a good thing to have around to me. Thanks

 

In the motion, we had a loki kernel. It allowed us to remove bloat without fear of getting the morningcall error.

 

What do you mean morningcall error?

 

On the motion, we couldn't delete certain apks because once we did and rebooted. The phone would say something about morning call error. And just stay there and wouldn't let us use the phone.

 

That's pretty odd never heard that before. But cheers, I guess for sorting that out lol. Anyone wanna try to compile cm10 for this phone? I may give it a go.

 

I can build and compile it but I can't work on it as I don't know nothing lol.

 

Yeah this gives the VM version of the F3 a fairly large advantage (at least in terms of development) over the other carrier's versions of the device. If any ROM development occurs on this phone, it'll happen here first. I wish there was a forum for this device on XDA or RootzWiki, but Phandroid is better than nothing I guess. My poor Polaroid tablet doesn't have it's own dedicated forum anywhere.

 

Where was the factory reset bug at?? This is amazing news!!

 

Is it your plan to fix the reset on reboot issue then move on to a functional cmrom at some point? If they are on to the forum will you be able to move forward or no? Also is the link for the kernel your latest update or have you not uploaded it yet?

 

I am really looking forward to the release of the kernel and I appreciate that we finally have a dev for this phone. Will we be able to over/underclock with the kernel you are currently developing?

 

looking forward to whatever you come up with in the future man! I have a good stable nandroid backup and cwm installed so if you need a tester let me know! I have flashed many experimental ROM's on several different phones in the past so I am not totally new to testing. Not a dev though.

 

Also willing test. Got several Nandroids and CWM installed. Been flashing experimental ROMs on my devices ever since I got my N1, so I know what I'm doing and how to take proper bug reports & kmsgs. I also have a semi-dedicated linux box now, but i'm fairly inexperienced with linux so I don't know how much help that'll be.

 

If sprint has gone to Jellybean 4.2 how much work would it be to get that up and running on VM? Can that kernel be used as a basis for CM10?

Sorry if that is a noob question. I'm working on 2 different new phones right now and may be mixing up which has features working on JB and which doesn't.

Phenomx4 I think his name is, on the Optimus Elite forums, built a Cm10 rom from scratch. The phone was designed to run Gingerbread only 2.3.7, and he built Cm9, and Cm10 and an ICS and JB build of AOKP as well. And all of them work nearly perfect besides blue tooth I believe. You could try talking to him, he might be able to help, I tried getting him to help with our recovery a while back but he's busy fixing up the source on his Cyanogenmod roms for the Elite, then he's gonna try Kitkat for it lol.

 

I'm no good at actual coding, but if you need someone to test builds, I am more than willing. I know how to unbrick my phone, and I already have a working CWM on it so I can flash roms. Just let me know if you need a tester.
