I got a new E971 - LG Optimus G (International)

Hello nice people of XDA, I got this new amazing E971 from Canada, (I live outside canada) , I got it sim-free and without all the applications of rogers, it's running amazing so far, I would like to know how can I upgrade it to 4.1.2 JB.
I had Samsung Galaxy S i9000 before this one and rooting it was very very simple just with the Odin and I changed ROMs like socks.
Thanks

Nice question indeed

[Q] Upgrading LG Optimus G L-01E to 4.1?

Hi Guys/Gals
How would one go about upgrading the software of the Docomo LG Optimus G L-01E from the stock standard rubbish it will come with ie 4.0 Ice Cream with skin to the latest clean 4.1 version?
Note that the Korean and Japanese versions of the Optimus G do have differences vs other international models including built in one seg TV antenna.
Im assuming cyanogenmod would not be an option.
Im hoping the bootloader will be unlocked as I remember reading somewhere that Docomo will not lock its bootloaders or the phones (to a network) any longer in 2012???
Thanks
mmmm beautiful beast
Loving it!
Now how do I get rid of all this clutter and up it to latest JB rom without losing functions? eg tv, nfc, infrared etc?
also is there an app that can do the LG tweaked features eg voice shutter, multi shot, video PIP and transparency etc?
I'd love to know as well before I buy one myself ! Have you found anything yet ?
I have this same version on its way to me now, does it fly like the wind? What are your initial thoughts?

This thing FLYS.
I have the phone, and the quad core and better GPU definitely make this phone run buttery smooth.
It also has an amazing screen with a nice, crisp, display.
Its a 10/10 in my opinion.

no official JB release for Optimus G until December.

dude..being someone who already has this(mine will be next week) what are your thoughts/opinions about this phone? by buying it..hav i made the right decision? i mean, compared with the other variants ofcourse
Overall its a fantastic phone. What else can I say?
All phones have mods and cons. Biggest con for me so far is waiting for a rooting method and JB rom so I can wipe all the docomo crap and have a clean updated rom etc.
Youll receive 4.1 some day as official Docomo update.
But im afraid you wont be able to get cm10 or 4.2 cause the L-01E really differs from other versions, as owners says, even the optimus g root patch doesnt work on it. Also its just rare outside of japan.
So you should compile the custom rom by yourself
yeah Im hoping there is enough users of the phone here to be able to do it. Maybe there is a japanese forum that has already done it?
I would have no clue as to how to do it.
Im assuming though that it shouldnt be very difficult and would probably require saving of drivers that are specific to this model and might not be included in standard JB.
hope someone help to root it soon
will get my device soon
can't wait enjoying it

Wind S III T999 Touchwiz Roms?

Hi guys,
This is my first post, and I was wondering if there are any Touchwiz based Roms for my Wind S3?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I have tried a bunch of them, the best one for the T999V from Wind is actually the one that came with it up to date. Root it and the world suddenly opens up to it.
That's my opinion anyhow.

[Q] will this phone work in nz

Hey guys, just wondering if this phone will work in New Zealand on 2Degrees(Vodafone)? Looking to buy it from eBay as it's like $200 cheaper than the shops here.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOCOMO-Sony...1099599778?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c32193fa2
Specifically that one ^^, they mention something about DoCoMo and making sure it will work in your country before buying....
You guys are always awesome, thanks for any help you can provide, my wife would be very happy with me if she got this and could finally replace her HTC Tattoo!.
It's already Unlocked Bootloader, isn't it ?? If yes, you won't have bravia engine

I just wanted to know if this phone will work on Vodafone in NZ, am I correct in understanding that if the carrier is unlocked, then it will work on any network?
Not sure why you are mentioning the bootloader and bravia engine....
I'm Currently using an XSL in New Zealand on Vodafone perfectly fine See of no reason why the Acro would be any different.

Optimus g ?

Soo im going to my self a new device tomorow and got my eye on the optimus g and nexus 4
Wich one should i get???
On one hand i get all the latest and greatest and i like the stock android rather than lg's ui and with the optimus g i get LTE and an extra 16 gb of storage...
I also have some concernes... Ive seen complaints on the web about the optimus g overheating.. Any of you experiencing it ?
Lg ui gesture is the most fluid and smooth ui.far better than tw and sense.not so much bloat and most of those apps you will find them useful.we already have 4.2.2,with almost no bugs,but it can be a daily driver.i don't have heating problems and i'm a power user,runing this phone like crazy.didn't notice to get hotter than my previous devices.
The only advantage of n4 is the vanilla.but g is over n4 on every other aspect.better cpu,better camera,bigger storage,even microsd slot in some cases.
Of course the final call is yours.

A stock OG only has 4.1.2 at the moment. You can flash a custom rom after rooting and unlocking and get 4.2.2 though.
I may be wrong but before I flashed a 4.2 ROM yesterday, the last update put me up to 4.1.2.

So far I havent heard anything about it. If you do decide to flash a rom I reccomend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880
I've been using it since yesterday morning and its been nothing but awesome. I'm sure you do know that unlocking bootloaders and rooting voids warranty so it is a use at your own risk method.
