What do you want? I can edit stock rom to app any apps such as
xperia apps for the sony xperia look and feel
maybe touchwiz
and whatever else
soo i wanna port something but i don't know what so if you want me to theme it to look different im here.
also if you brick i got the files (that no one else could find) to save you so dont worry about bricks.

I am hoping for a successful 14.1 of lineage or cm but I doubt that will happen. I plan on learning how to make ROMs this summer though so I might try

EDIT: In order to get MIUI to work on LG Realm, you need to wipe System and Data and then install gapps before the first boot into MIUI, which makes it use the Google setup assistant instaid of the MIUI setup.
MIUI doesn't work on LG Realm.

Wow blast from the past heh. Good to see dev on some of these old phones again! I had no idea that people still bought and used these for example the Exceed 2. I see it for sale on sites and seems to be quite popular still. Wasn't there something about this phone where it is only usuable as a wifi phone compared to using cell towers? It has been a while since I modded my Exceed 2 so I dont remember.

I might have to redo it now that i see all this dev going on. =]
