hey i have just rooted my phone but if i suddenly choose to install a new rom in the future, will i still have the memo function ?
..............................have you unlocked the bootloader too?please do it as fast as you can,if you don't want to get into "certificate security error".
If you flash a custom rom based on LG firmware,yes you have all the functions. If you flash a CM based rom,no,you will lose every LG goodies. You decide what you want/need.
Consider this the first and last warning about unlocking the bootloader.I will ignore any other discussion on this matter.i don't like repeating myself.
the bootloader is alredy unlocked but thx for the answer.
and another newbie question - how can is ee if it is the same firmware as lg ?
i have rooted and oc´de my other htc incredible s, so i am not completly new
We have only 3 roms based on lg fw. Look on faq. Come on guys,think a litle. Do you think you are the first to have this phone?this questions have already been answered.

Hi...I have searched a lot for Stock ROM Lg optimus me P350 but I didn`t find it....
I find a stock rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33631412
I flashed the Untouched Stock Rom but after I flashed it I realized that isn`t Original rom because when I go into Settings-About phone there isn`t the Software Update option....And the stock rom have it...So can someone help me with an ORIGINAL Rom for Lg optimus me P350?
Thanks !

Thanks man..I will try and I`ll say if is good
I flashed that 3 roms and only one is original....The first Rom V10C_00 is original.....Thanks for help dude !
gogyly tnks man
First of all, the Untouched Version present in my thread IS the Stock (or ORIGINAL if you want to call it this way) FroYo 2.2.2 from the Firmware V10A_00, not having the "Software Update" option does not make a stock rom not original, please, learn a little before saying this kind of thing. Software Update must be present in V10C_00 because it's region must permit this kind of Update, and in any way, you won't use this option at all since the latest oficial Android version for our Pecan IS the STOCK 2.2.2.
And if you really want to go and do the whole .kdz flashing process to have your stock 2.2.2 back, you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073827 to download the .kdz (the firmware that your phone came with) and then just flash the .kdz file with the KDZ Flasher.
To be honest, it really seems that you didn't research that much.

Hello Xda People.
I have recently got myself an Xperia S.
Before this I've owned an xpera x8 I loved playing around with roms on that thing yet I never really unlocked the bootloader or anything fancy
So now I have a few questions. What is the smart thing to do?
Unlock the bootloader?
Root the phone and only uninstall unneeded things?
Install a rom without unlocked bootloader
or Instal a rom with unlocked bootloader
The things I would really like are:
A little bit more battery life
The same option the phone has with official rom (xsound/ bravia engine in particular)
Pre-rooted rom
Could anyone here help me make a choice and guide me through the steps I need to take?
Yup u can start by rooting your phone there is lots of threds here after that u can install custom recovey where u dont need to unlock your bootloader after that flash a Rom with a good battry life (like miui) there us few roms compatible with locked bootloader.
I do not recommend to unlock or root ur phone now bcz after few weeks we ll have official jb 4.1.2 after that if ur still board thn u can unlock ur phone and start messing around
Hit thanks if I helped

Lock/Unlock Bootloader depends on what ROM you choose to install. There are plenty ROMs available in the development section. Read the ROM threads, Features, User reviews and decide your self which ROM suits you best.
Based on that You can decide whether to go for Unlock Bootloader or Stay on Locked bootloader.
If you like to stay on Stock then just root it and remove bloatwares and install few tweaks. It should be fine. Detail info regarding this can be found in General Section. So search there.
And last but not the least, XDA Doesn't allow discussions about "which ROM is best" or "which ROM suits me most"? Thus the easy way is to head over to the development section and find out by yourself.
OP please read the Post above mine...Thanks.
Hi,
I’m waiting for my LG G Pad 8.3 (still in the mail, should be here by the end of the week!!!) and I have a few questions about it. I plan to root it but I would like to know a few things before doing this as I’m not an expert with “rooting devices”…
1) If I root the device but not install any custom ROM or custom Recovery, will I still receive the automatic OTA update from LG? Of what I understood, if you don’t modify any “system” files, install custom ROM or Recovery, you should be able to get OTA update?
2) If I decide to install a custom ROM/Recovery and then want to go back to the stock ROM, Is it available for download? I checked (quickly) on the forum and I didn't see any link to download it (stock ROM from LG).
Thanks in advance!

1)you probably can not update ota on stock rooted fw. I had asked the same question to the developer of the root method for our devices and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

Thanks for your reply! If the update from LG will be available for download so I can flash it, this work with me! I might not keep the stock ROM too... I never had an android device from LG so I'm not sure how it look like... If there is too much bloatware (like Samsung), I won't keep it.

Just to make sure... Stock Kernel = Stock ROM? So the "LG G Pad Sock Kernel.img" is the latest version of the stock ROM from LG?

There is too much bloatware in this tablet just like the Samsung ones. In my opinion the stock rom is worthy if you want maximum stability or you need the lg apps.
No, kernel with rom are different things, google rom vs kernel. The stock kernel is for people who have flashed custom kernels and want to revert back to stock. If you look in the original android development section of these forums you ll see that there are 2 custom kernels and more custom roms available for our tablet atm.

Thanks for the info! I'm not very familiar with this but I'm getting there! I'm reading related post/subject (rooting device) on the xda-developers forum so this help me a lot! I should receive my tablet tomorrow or Thursday so I'll test/inspect it to make sure everything is ok with it and than try to root it.
Did you root yours? Are you using a custom ROM on it?

I had rooted it when dalingrin released the adb root method as I couldn't trust the kingo root method. Adaway and titanium backup are some of the top apps but these apps need root. Also you won't be able to move apps or games to SD without root. I flashed cyanogen mod 11 some days ago and I'm totally satisfied with it. The gpad became faster, with more ram available and with less battery consumption.

I'll use the root method of dalingrin then! I installed CM on my old device and I liked it so I might test it on my G Pad! There is no big issues with it? I know that it still in "Nightlies status so it might not be "stable". I'm looking forward to receive my G Pad!

CM runs stable on G Pad as of now. Very few features are lacking and you can check the CM thread nad if you have half an hour to spare you can go through the change log as well.
For the love of God, do not mistake a rom for a kernel. And remember that a kernel is usually made for a specific ROM. Kernels will improve performance on specific ROM's.. And enable new features under the hood and so on. But if you install a stock kernel onto a CM rom, it would be like filling a car with the wrong fuel and it would most likely get stuck in bootloop until you reflash a compatible kernel. - As stated above there are 2 custom kernels, one is ported for a few of the custom roms.. The other one as far as I know is pretty empty atm. and is aiming at becoming Play Edition-"like", I don't remember for what ROM. On certain mainstream devices you will find many a kernel and usually something that will suit your needs. Perhaps this will happen with the G Pad at some point.
Good luck on your rooting adventures and feel free to ask anything if you hit a wall at some point.
I received my G Pad yesterday! I rooted it by using the “dalingrin” method, installed TWRP and then CM11 (the stock ROM had too much bloatware for me!). Everything worked without any issue so now I can enjoy my new toys! I was hesitating between the Nexus 7 and the G Pad and I’m very happy that I chose the G Pad!
Thanks again for your replies/help guys!

I told you that it has too much bloatware, you did the right thing! I was also balancing between nexus 7 fhd and gpad and i picked the gpad for its 8.3" screen.
Hi,
I am using USA Sprint rooted and unlocked LG G2 in India with GSM sim. working fine.
I am receiving some notifications of updates and have following queries
- Can I update it OTA without losing unlocking?
- How can I manually update the G2 firmware to official LG ROM. I like it. I know there are many custom roms with kitkat but do not want to lose LG's original customization. and hence wish to update the real LG G2 kitkat without impacting unlocking.
Moved here, as this does not belong in the Development Sections...please read the Forum Rules on posting.
Hi.. Any help team...
Zva has a modified TWRP zip already and we will be working on a ZVC one when it shows up. If stock recovery just manually d/l and flash when link is posted.

Hey Guys,
Hope you guys and gals are doing well. I wanted to know if there is rom for LG G2 (LS980) the latest build without the sprint bloatware? The current rom installed is "ZVD" but the knock code doesn't work and the software update option is missing. I got this from a friend and I am guessing he didn't flash it properly.
so I want to know the following things:
1. Can someone or has someone worked on the ZVE rom and removed the Sprint bloatware, If yes can someone please share it?
2. Is it possible to flash a D802 rom over LS980? I know noob question but still
3. I am not in USA so if I flash the rom to ZVC will I have carrier restriction? and would I be able to update it OTA to ZVD ? even if I am not in USA?
and lastly
4. Could you guys recommend a good rom which is less bloated with custom stuff and nearer to the stock international version of the phone providing the G2 experience as it should be?
Thanks.
Try cloudyfa's ROM. It will keep you with everything you need. Do not flash a d802 ROM. You will destroy your device. You can unlock it to work. Cloudyfa's ROM will allow you to use it international as you are.
...or you can just root with StumpRoot, install Titanium Backup and debloat (frost/defrost) yourself. I've always been of the opinion that the best ROM is always a stock rooted ROM. That's just my opinion/experience, no offense to any of the custom ROMs out there.
My G2 LS980 is on ZVE, i rooted with StumpRoot and froze what i considered unnecessary with Titanium Backup. Works for me just fine.
Nice to see you still around lord lugard.
Always be careful so as to not stop something that might be necessary as you can break yourself.
So very true.
