I am not a developer by any means but I'm pretty sure there is more to it than that. I'm hoping we see some ROM's soon and I'm pretty sure the cubed and others are hard at work trying to build ROM's for our phone. I don't think it will b much longer now that we have Loki and good recoveries so we just need to b patient for a little while longer.

CM 10.2 for Canadian Optimus G (E973/E971)

Hi, This is a continuation of the CM 10.1 nightlies thread. Things has been moving on and we are now at CM 10.2. I have been working with xboxfanj, houstonn and bbelos to bring you this. Again, this is based on mako with adapted change for optimus G. This time we are even more in sync with CAF (Code Aurora Forum).
What is working
Everything.
What is not working
You tell me.
Here are the repo needed for our devices :
https://github.com/TeamPlaceHolder
Of course, you have to be rooted, to have bootloader unlocked and a working recovery to flash this custom rom.
DO NOT FLASH NEXUS 4 KENEL MADE BY 3rd PARTY. THIS WILL MOSTLY PERMA BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
This is simply because people tend to use partition number and not by-name and our partition is different than nexus 4 ones. i.e. The rpm partition on our phone is the boot partition on nexus 4. So flashing a custom kernel will flash a boot.img in your rpm partition and then you are bricked. You have been warned.
Like usually, i can't be hold responsible if you damage your phone during any of the process described in this thread.

Use geeb package
Gapps package :

Modem :
There is a newer modem now available (From JB update. Houstonn and I extracted each of them and made flashable so you don't need to do the painful process of kdz only to get a new baseband)
MAKE SURE TO NOT FLASH KOREAN MODEM.

How to intall that rom ?
This require you to have TWRP or CWM already installed on your device. I recommand the former. On our device, this mainly mean you have rooted your phone and unlocked the bootloader.
Apparently, it seems these instruction where not clear enough. So I'll try to make them dumbproof. If you are not following these instruction and it doesnt work, dont expect support. It's like buying a cake mix where you only need to add milk and call the company saying their product is bull****, you added water and only got a brick. To add to this metaphor, Asking if it's because you used CWM instead of twrp or reverse is like saying : Did it didnt work because i used a fork instead of a whip to mix it ?
To flash this rom, you have to be on older Bootloader. You can alternatively flash the bootloader i linked in this thread. Read the post carefully before you flash.
Download file in the download section.
Put the rom AND the gapps on your internal SDCard.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash CM rom.
Flash Gapps package.
DO A FACTORY RESET (EMPHASIS HERE)
reboot into system
Thos would work on the E971 from Rogers also? Im able to run ATT kernels and roms just like Telus E973, so i think it should be fine?

Is there ANY WAY you can add to this the changes in faux123's Nexus 4 kernel (see here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36722-kernellinux-340-makojbuvoctuncifsv001-nov-30/#entry1032460) to reduce the horrible msm_hsic_host wakelock battery drain?

You sir, deserve a punch in the face. Come on. We are not at optimizing things. I'm still trying to figure out what is working or not. This is really stupid.
Note to all other user : I WILL NOT ACCEPT FEATURE BEFORE EVERY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED.
on a related note to your question, if you would have read carefully, you would have seen that i already use faux123 kernel . . .
Anyway, this is not going to be the case soon.
Great work, OP. Can't wait for this build to run smoothly so we can have more fun with our phones.
Only want to add that the work on going to be able to actually build the rom easily is going good !
We've got it successfully building now, just testing our first experiment, then the real work can begin

This is fantastic! Thanks for the hard work guys. I am using a Bell E973, let me know if I can provide you with any files or information. I believe the phones are the same but I am not 100% sure.
One good news, i was able to make the phone boot from our rom !
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Just here to profess my support for this development. I can't wait to have this running on my phone, Good job team!
I think I have to buy one now. Is it planned to have this as an officially supported device?

I need testers for this now. its now in testing. pls post any errors and will try and help as best I can by talking to other devs

Thanks to team carbon for original rom to port from.
THIS IS IN TESTING PHASE ONLY. DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST AND REPORT ANY ERRORS.
If I helped in anyway hit thanks
Do not comment if your bootloader is unlocked seeing as how this will work no matter what with an unlocked bootloader. The whole point of this is to get aosp running on LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
Also for those who can UNLOCK or already have UNLOCKED bootloaders. Please keep your boot loader LOCKED or RELOCK your bootloader for testing this out only please.
So far we are stuck at carbon logo boot loop. Lets all work together to get this working
got it put together but so far stuck with boot loop any help? followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008

Very cool initiative.

Not nessarily. I had an old Droid 3 with CM9/10/10.1 all running on the stock Gingerbread kernel (2.x.x.x). The problem is that alot of things will be broken, and everything will need a workaround (ie. Camera running through HW tiler instead of using kernel; crappy cam). You could always try and do a diff of what's different between 4.2 and 4.3, but alot can easily change. And you don't necessarily know if a certain feature is built on a kernel feature that isn't in 4.2's kernel. I wish there was a way for us to flash a kernel via Flashtool using custom FTFs, by unlocking the bootloader à la Xperia Play Testpoint method.
ok gonna just do a 4.2 port then instead. make things easier anyone know how to change the name of the thread since im op?

Dragonhawk, I would strongly suggest you contact Hackitz, that guy is really smart, got me out of a few holes with my rom. Our devices are nothing like HTC or Crapsung, sorry,Sambung, whatever.
I would help you but I would probably only make things worse, hehe.
If you want, PM me the build.prop and updater-script, maybe I can find something you missed.
I'll be glad to help with whatever I can.

Stable 4.3 Rom.

I'm getting a lgog for the girlfriend in the am. Wondering which rom running 4.3 is most stable. I used to have 2 ogs and usually ran houstonns Roms. Thinking of flashing carbon 4.3, it's a Rogers OG so I believe it is a 971. Which means I can flash 970,971,973 Roms as long as I flash Rogers modem after correct? Sorry I know these threads a're usually frowned apon but I'm having a hard time following what is going on in the forum. Thanks again.

Ler me use this topic to ask , why is LG ROMs so big? I mean CM is about 150 mb + Gapps 100mb = 250 mb total , but lg roms are about 1gb, wtf lg did to make a rom 4 times larger? Even cooked roms that are clean and debloated are about 850 mb... Why? Is there some reason?
Thanks
The framework itself is big. Those features don't come cheap.
And cm is over 200mb+100mb the gapps..300mb..but no lg features.only lg launcher has over 100mb

Personally, I found houstonn's RootBox 4.2.2 ROM to be the most stable on my E971. With just BaNkS' core gapps installed, and any other Google stuff installed via the Play Store.
Houstonn's Carbon 4.3 (Adreno hybrid) ROM is the smoothest, with the best battery life. Missing a few options compared to RB, but the nicest 4.3 ROM I've used.

Do you / did you get data drops on 4.3? My data cut out. Have to reboot phone to get it back. Tried turning data on off, airplane mode doesn't come back unless I reboot even than its iffy. Is the ccarbon 4.3 ment for 971? What kernel should I run with it.

I have not experienced any data drops on my E971. I have it limited to HSPA+ (no LTE in my city), though. Not sure if that makes a difference. Using the Rogers 4.1.2 modem.
Houstonn's Carbon ROM is developed on an E971, but will work on E970, E971, E973.
There are reports of it working on E975 if you flash the correct modem/baseband for the country you're in. Limited to 8 MP camera, though, unless you flash an E975 kernel.

You dont know how happy i am with this. Is there any place i can check the progress?
It is most likely very possible. But not advised at the moment. Give it some time to mature as a rom. The creator of the rom is a pretty talented individual and will squash the remaining issues it has in time. Then it will be ready for a real port!! Until then I would wait. But in the end it is up to you. Speak with the rom developer first and ask for permissions to port if you do decide to go ahead with the attempt to port.
we dont have a 4.4. kernel, unless you're making one.

not possible because only port will work for same android version like 4.4 to 4.4 not 4.2 to 4.4

the only thing S-OFF can allow that "benefits" kernels is making the boot partition larger. there's really no point in that though, unless someone ever makes a boot.img so large it needs a new partition.

Best modded stock rom

Hey guys
Just wanted to know which modded stock rom has more features and is better?
The Epsilon Project v03 or Savvy Rom V4?
I think its PAC man ROM since it has features from most of the ROMs or maybe dirty unicorns not really sure kinda new here

I had some weird problems with SMS on Savvyrom, but I wouldn't blame the ROM for sure, as my phone itself is a hack (F180 that thinks it's E975)... No problems on Epsilon at all. Functionality and performance are about the same on both, I didn't notice much of a difference, if any.
But you are asking the "best ROM" question that is not allowed here. Try them both and decide for yourself...

My vot for Savvy V4. Main reason because with many other roms I have GPS Problems. I coudldn't get a gps fix, but I don't have these problems with Savvy. Also the developer is still active and developing. At the moment he is testing Viper Kernel, maybe we will get an update soon.

Speaking of kernel, Viper works great with stock, not just Savvy. I used it with Epsilon, and I use it now with debloated tweaked stock. Excellent kernel!

I phrased it incorrectly. Apologies. I meant which rom has more extra features. In the sense that Epsilon has G2 file manager, gallery etc and also has a few performance tweaks

Why search on htcmania, especially for non-spanish speakers? Isn't the Epsilon posted here on XDA the same ROM from the same dev?
Ok @kt-Froggy now I understand because I was not finding anything for E975 in sprint thread.
You made some adjustments to wifi modules, do you know if for version E975 is the same?
Best rom is the stock one and modded with xposed framework. Odexed roms will always be faster than deodexed. Until xposed appeared a rom had to be deodexed to be easier to work on it,especially on themes. Now,we don't have to deodex. Just remove the bloat,optionally flash a custom kernel and tweak it with xposed. You won't get better results.

Best Modded Stock?
For F180 - Gomdolight Enhancement FTW! Has a thread here now in XDA btw
For e975 and international- It's hard to choose between Savvy and Epsilon both are great
Also u can try porting the Sprint Stock Roms urself.. Very easy just change some of the telephony files and some kernel drivers from e975

The only problem with Savvy is that battery life is horrible...compared to stock and epsilon... or maybe it's just me :|
