Hey, im kinda new to flashing and rooting. I did manage to root my T999V and i want to flash frosty jb but have no idea how. The instructions on the thread for it are kind of unclear for me so can someone please give me a really easy way of doing this?

Youll find a better definition if you google it, but basically all your apps run in a virtual machine type environment called the dalvik vm.
dalvik cache is where the apps code is stored and used by the vm.

To use the ota patch you'd have odin back to stock LH2. But if you're gonna do that just Odin the LJ4 fw.

Clark44, the dev of the ROM, said that he might update. It all depends on his time, he's a full time student.
You can flash the update from Freeza over the ROM, but you also need to flash "Revert to LF9 Universal Search" found in the OP to have the full google search. Read the thread and see what has been reported...

I would ask myself if I could stand to lose TW features, stability, and which looked and felt better to you (if you tried one of the JB leaks). Really though, try both when official is out, because by then paranoid would have been updated several times
Im on JB TW, and I love it.

What about the exynos abuse root method? What build is the phone currently on? It did get patched but I don't remember what build.

Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.
