UPDATE 12/2/2013: The tutorial will remain for users who would like to change their own settings within the ROM or just like doing things themselves. However, I have included a Google Drive link to a modded ROM to skip most of the process, meaning you can just move this file to the root of your storage and flash and go from there. The link will be under Resources and I will try to update every Friday, no guarantees as I go to school and finals are coming up.
Hey guys, today I have a tutorial for anyone attempting to install MIUI v5 for the LG Optimus G LS970. I myself was totally hooked on this ROM seeing as it is totally different from Android yet still holds true to a lot of what Android is. Some setbacks are that this runs on Android JellyBean 4.2, a little dated for certain people and also not all options work, and you can scour around to figure out what those are as I personally have not testing everything. I do know that NFC is having problems and some people are having issues with phone services but there are workarounds that I will list in the resources below. Now for the tutorial.
*Note: This is what I did to get this to work based on the information found in the LS970 thread for MIUI v5 (linked below) and my constant attempts to see whats wrong, Im in no way a professional nor a developer just a user who wants to get things done. This may not work for everyone. If your phone messes up, I hold no responsibility as you did this out of your own choice and you have been warned. Credits go to siulmagic for the LS970 port and the work he was able to do with it, hopefully he can continue development. Credits also go to 2nd Sky for providing the basis for the tutorial. Links to their profile will be listed in the resources as well.
--Tutorial--
You will be flashing the F180/E975 ROM version of MIUI v5, and it is said you must install the recovery for the E975 in order to flash a ROM from this device, however this was not needed.
The following files will need to be downloaded:
7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
LS970 MIUI ROM: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489996359
F180/E975 MIUI ROM: http://rom.miui.com/download/view/359381#top (click the red button to download)
Custom Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ta3ecb4r4cq0b99/TWRP-2.6.3.0-LS970(sprint).zip (This is the latest TWRP version, but I used version 2.4.4.0, yet I do not think this matters)
Step 1: Install 7-Zip onto your PC. Once you have all files downloaded move all of them to the ROOT of your phone EXCEPT the F180/E975 ROM. This will not work if the files are not on the root as I have come to notice.
Step 2: Open up the F180/E975 ROM with 7-zip (it is a zip file). Navigate to the updater-script file and open it with Notepad (the location of the updater-script is META-INF-->com-->google-->android). To open with Notepad just double click the updater-script file and you will be ask to choose a program, choose Notepad of course. DO THIS ALL FROM THE ZIP FILE, DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING.
Step 3: With updater-script open, you will delete the following line:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "e975");
That includes the semi-colon. Save the file within Notepad and close. Once you close 7-Zip will prompt you that the file was modified and if you would like to save, hit YES. This will now modify updater-script within the zip file. Let that finish and now the zip can be moved to the root of your phone along with the other files. OPEN UP UPDATER-SCRIPT WITHIN THE ZIP TO MAKE SURE THE CHANGE WAS MADE, I GOT AN ERROR WHEN I TRIED FLASHING AND IT WAS BECAUSE 7-ZIP DID NOT SAVE THE MODIFED UPDATER-SCRIPT. CLOSE THE ZIP FILE AND RE-OPEN IT AND CHECK ONE MORE TIME BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO THE ROOT OF YOUR OPTIMUS.
Step 4: Now flash install TWRP. If you do not have a custom recovery to begin with you can download Goo Manager from the Play Store and install through there and update if required. I did a dirty flash of MIUI, meaning I flashed without factory reset or anything. There is no need for GAPPS as they are already built into the ROM. Go into your custom recovery and you will want to flash the LS970 ROM. If all goes well it will install without problems and you can reboot into system and setup MIUI. If you get errors during install or afterwards, try wiping the system within TWRP and try again. All you want to do is just get to the homescreen for MIUI.
Step 5: Once you have been sent into the MIUI homescreen for the first time, you will boot into recovery again and proceed to flash the F180/E975 ROM. There should be no issues and the flash should go smoothly. There is no factory reset or clearing of cache because MIUI takes this as an update to the previous ROM, so when you boot back into MIUI you will go directly to the homescreen. Now, reboot back into recovery for the final time and wipe data then factory reset and reboot into system for a nice clean MIUI v5 setup. Enjoy your new ROM!
--FAQs--
Ask them in the thread, questions will be added to this post as well as their answers and whoever answered it.
1. Can this ROM be updated?
Yes the ROM can be updated, however OTA does not work currently until someone finds a fix. A workaround is downloading the updated ROM manually from the website (or on the phone) and following the instructions listed above and then flashing the modified updated ROM. Unfortunately this takes more time but if you want an updated MIUI v5 this is the only way to get it as of now and as of my knowledge.

Nah lol I tried replying to the LS970 MIUI thread but couldnt because I needed 10 posts, I really wanted the ROM and it wouldnt work for me. Once I figured it out I felt other people had problems so I just wanted to help, might as well. Thanks though

Nice write-up, dude! This is sure to help everyone who wants to run MIUI, including myself. Quick questions, how's it running? Like with data, MMS, SMS splitting, all that good stuff. I know we have some problems with our native build, so does the newer updates fix stuff? And speaking of updates, do they work flash and work properly? Thanks once again!!

My phone is not activated under any carrier so I cannot test things like that. However I can say the camera works generally good, its a stock Android camera and has features youd expect. Focus works fine unlike on the LS970 MIUI build where focus for some reason wouldnt work. Newer updates do fix things and you can few changelogs on the MIUI forums. Unfortunately OTA does NOT work but you do download the update, it just fails to flash and Im currently trying to figure out a workaround. I will post my findings to the OP if I get it to work.
So theoretically, if I go into the updaterscript, and change the APN's, the ROM should work just fine?

Might be safer for us to dirty flash over our working build.

If you dirty flashed the e975 version then it would fail while installing correct? If the updater lines weren't removed I don't see how it wouldn't fail.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I havent tried dirty installing over the LS970 ROM without removing those lines but it does not seem likely to work at all, the ROM is basically being told the phone is an E975 and to update/install E975 firmware. Removing those two lines skips this entirely and the ROM simply flashes. However in the phone information MIUI will display that your phone is an E975 rather than an LS970. As for the APNs attempt that within the ROM, I was told they work but that certain APNs may not for reasons unknown.
Can someone post up the modified file? I only have a cellphone so I can't try this.
My new USB cable comes in tomorrow so I will be able to test my update workaround seeing as my current USB cable does not like transferring files for some reason. If all goes well I will post a modified ROM file for those who cannot do it themselves and people will need to return here for the modified ROM file to flash to update the firmware, or you can download the original firmware from the MIUI website when an update is available and follow the tutorial.

Alright guys here is the zip that worked for me after I tweaked the network in the build prop and deleted the updater script lines. Install the ls970 miui as normal (wipe system,data,cache,dalvik) and after you reboot and get to the homescreen go back into recovery and dirty flash this zip (don't wipe anything). I can confirm that 3g works and gps locks for me. Hope this helps some people who want to give miui a try. Let me know if the download link isn't working. http://www.4shared.com/zip/vZYCphn2/miui_f180_rogue_31122_1f540bef.html?

Weird. I noticed that after installing the new apns and rebooting I got the phone force close and lost service, however with just dirty flashing my zip over the ls970 miui I got 3g at least to work and show service.
Introduction:
After my successful port of the Z2 lockscreen with particle effects, I have now ported over the Z2 framework-res.apk and merged it with the existing CM11 .apk. Flashing this zip will change the radio buttons, progress bars, animations, buttons and a make it look a lot more like the Sony Xperia Z2.
You need @percy_g2 's CM11 in order to flash this. Don't try flashing on any other ROM as I will not support it. Any issues should be reported with a relevant logcat.
Installation Instructions:
1. Place "framework-edited.zip" into your phone's internal memory.
2. Push framework-res.apk via ADB.
3. Reboot
4. Hit thanks :fingers-crossed:

What error are you receiving? Could you give more detail?
Try manually pushing framework-res.apk to system/app through ADB. Don't use root explorer while phone is switched on, it won't work. Use ADB only?
If it still didn't work, then tell me what is happening and I'll look into it.
P.S. Lockscreen works on XT1021?
i used recovery to flash it,after rebooting the framework didn't change any.( the radio buttons, progress bars,etc.)

The framework files will be different for your single SIM device. Could you attach your original framework-res.walk from /system/framework? I'll port it over for the single SIM variant
could be that and thank you for your work.

Try manual pushing via ADB. If still not working, submit the framework-res.apk from /system/framework.

Push framework-res.apk via ADB. I did that originally while development.
Gonna recreate the flashable zip file and retest it. If you don't know how to use the push command, google it/wait for me to reupload the flashable zip.

Hi.
In short
Now when we can unpack and repack images with our devices - thank to @osm0sis.
Now when we have awesome themes for our twrp recoveries - thank to @z31s1g.
We need to have a chance to BUMP! recovery images with our devices too
This was the only reason why i little bit modified Sharpening Mod Script v. 3.0 by @Skin1980. Thank you for this MOD and for permission to share my MOD with others.
Using:
Notice: At this moment this MOD works only with @blastagator's recoveries -thank you.
Unpack your recovery image, do changes which you want and repack image.
Always put your repacked image to:
Code:
/sdcard/TWRP
directory.
The file has to have this specific name assigned: "recovery.img" without quotes. You can always easily rename it in recovery. Then simply run the MOD in recovery. You can BUMP and save (same directory) or BUMP and FLASH (Image is not saved!)
Further thanks go to:

Today I wanted to share Haze028's Ubuntu Touch port with you.
He discontinued this Rom so sadly there won't be any support anymore
I had problems on getting this Ubuntu Touch Port working so I will write a Tutorial on How to Install this Port.
I am not Responsible for any Damage done by this.You decided on flashing this Rom and have to bear the consequenses
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH JOLLAMANS MULTIROM ON E975
1.Download the Ubuntu-Geeb010814.zip file(Ubuntu-E975 isn't working anymore)here
2.Download the 13.10 Ubuntu Touch preinstalled zip here.Its at the bottom called saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip.
Now for the Installation
1.Make a full Backup of your previous Rom(optional) and have a working Modem and EFS Backup in case something doesn't work correctly.
2.Reboot into Recovery and make a full Wipe.(except the Internal Storage)
3.Flash the Ubuntu zip you downloaded earlier
4.Flash the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip.(This will take some time)
5.Reboot
There won't be any Boot animation so just be patient.The first boot takes a while.
The Powerbutton isn't working at the First boot.You need to Reboot the Device to get it working.

Sorry didn't know that @mordesku is working on it :laugh:
I would not recommend it as a daily driver
Music player stops when it's in background,Pics don't get found so I will just wait patientlly for @mordesku's version:good::fingers-crossed:
BTW I'm trying to flash Vivid-preinstalled right now,will keep this Thread updated if it works
Edit:Vivid isn't working,hangs in a Bootloop

I'm really sorry for answering this late.Had to get some stuff done the last days.
I can't help you with your Problems because I didn't build this.I only made a Tread on how to flash it.If you want to try a Working Version of Vivid you can use @mordesku Version.
It has a few Bugs:No sound,Sim card and some other Bugs.

[RECOVERY] [3/29/15] TWRP 2.8.6.x - TeamWin Recovery Project
TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 2.8.6.x for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Att)!
Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvWVS_Rkxo
Full TeamWin credits are on the TWRP page on the TeamWin website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Thank you very much
Key Features:
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for new features
In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.
We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.
Theming:

@Rocket42 There's a zip file as well as the img file - You could flash the img file with Flashify if you want - But I'd just flash the zip with TWRP

Hey Rocket, what have you been up to? Usually if someone's gone that long, I'd just assume they got a new phone, lol

No, still have my Note 2. Great phone! I also have an att LG Flex but i can't root or rom it to save my life!! I'm so sick of ATT and how they lock everything down. If i spend that kind of money for something i want to be able to do i i want with it. I have a bad back and was doing physical therapy... it hurts to sit in one place for long periods... Guess i could read and ROM standing up.. Lol. I am still on kit Kat liquid ROM. Have had no issues so i just haven't messed with it. How have you been?

I using twrp version 3.0.0 on a galaxy s5 sm900t . On all restores the systemui seems not to be working. The rom seems to work but there is no lockscreen or status bar. Any ideas why this is happening. These are on all new backups .
