Hey Guys.
I am new to this community site. I own a LG Optimus P350 phone.. its Android version is the default 2.2 Froyo as provided by the manufacturer. Few days back i rooted the phone using Gingerbrek.. Now i want to upgrade my Android version. Firstly i want to ask which ROM would be suitable for my cell phone.. and what are the steps to do upgrade the ROM? Also i want to ask is how do i move the factory installed apps in my cellphone (like facebook, etc) to SD card since my phone is already rooted... please go easy with the language i am a noob with such stuff so far... I did try looking out for the solution in other threads but could not find the answer (or maybe couldn't understand it )...

There you have the oficial CyanogenMod 7 rom support, instalation and development issues support.
In my opinion it is the best 2.3 alternative rom for p350.
The steps i know only in portuguese, but i believe i will find it in this link too.
The factory installed apps, the most one you will install with a Google package inside this link too.
The others you can download again on play store.

following a different guide i was trying to install CM Invasion V2 ROM.. i never got to the flashing ROM part... i was backing up the current ROM unsing ROM manager and my cell fone bricked... after banging my head... looking for solutions on the net and again banging my head... i finally was able to revive my cell fone (using kdz updater)... all this is a risky business
can anyone give me a near perfect guide for flashing ROM without using ROM manager.. please..

You'll have to flash a custom recovery first. Amonra is very stable. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom from the recovery for you to go back to. Flash the rom you like and enjoy. If you need to do back to your original rom, just restore back from your nandroid backup

now flash recovery by going on thread then do steps
for flashing roms do following steps on recovery
1.creat nandroid backup only once not for everytime you flash
2.then go in wipe section and wipe all data
3.then go to flash zip manu and find rom then flash
4.sometimes some rom needs advanced steps for flashing like cm 7 official needs to format/system(steps for it it mentioned by the developer on his thread)
done reboot then enjoy flashing.
hope this will help you...........................
in future do not install recovery from rom manager it will brick your phone untill it gets perfect for our device

Remember we have a wiki page for this phone with an all-in-one guide for modifying it (rooting, recovery, custom rom installation, troubleshooting). I try to keep it updated, nice and clean (kinda hard some times).
About Android versions: The Optimus ME comes with Froyo (2.2) there is no other official firmware for it. CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread (2.3) which now has official support and is working pretty good now (yes, previous versions were slow, buggy but now they're pretty stable)... Honeycomb (3.0) is only for tablets, so it's not coming to P350. CyanogenMod 9 is based on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), which for this device is still a work in progress, so don't expect a timeline nor a soon release. CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean (4.1) is still a myth for the P350...
I hope to have answered your questions...

[Q] Install Cyanogemod on GT-I8160L

Hello everyone.
I want to install cyanogenmod on my device, I am aware that there is not official rom for my device but there is an unofficial rom.
I did a research on the web and for what I understand there are some problem with my device because it is de latin-american version, I found a method too were I have to copy the "tee" folder from my device before installation and then paste it after the installation(that is supose to solve the 3g signal).
I am a complete begginer in custom roms, I have never installed one in my life. I have a lot of question: I need to have kitkat in my device to install the latest version of cyanogenmod? (my instincts says no but for what I have read I am not so sure) where can I go for a tutorial of installing roms? this rom (cyanogenmod) can work on my device?
The other alternative I have is slim bean, a jelly bean rom based on cyanogenmod(I even have found a tutorial in youtube that explain the installation and seems easy) but the link to download the rom is dead and there is a version specific for the latin american version.
by the way the latin american version is the one with a L at the end(gt-i8160L)
thanks
sorry if my english is bad.

As my device is a I8160, I'll answer the general questions.
The firmware that you need in your device would be a stock Jellybean firmware in order to install CM 10.1, 10.2 or 11 or any KitKat based ROMs.
As for the tutorial for flashing ROMs, this excellent guide by kyrillos13 might be able to help you (although it is meant for I8160..):

[Q] installing new firmware/rom on my phone

Hi there.
I have the Huawei Acsend p6 phone, i have some rom of our cellular carrier, i'm not sure if it's custom or official rom with some minor changes. anyway, i can see that the build is "b130sp03".
i want to be at kitkat 4.4.2 with a good custom rom (one of the reasons i want custom is i not sure if my ver is official or not). the thing is: i'm new in this, and i don't know how i get from here to there.
i see some custom roms here, and each rom says you must have kitkat installed, or you must have this build installed before... so i go to the mentioned build, and then i see you must have that build before you install it... so i really don't know where to start and what is the right upgrade path for me.
can someone instruct me how to burn new custom rom from where i stand, and which builds (with links) i need to install after that in order to get to 4.4.2. Thanks a lot!
oh yeah. i rooted my devices. and install touch CWM

New here Looking for guidance on rooting and stable roms

New here Looking for guidance on rooting and stable roms

Rooting?
CF-Auto Root. Sprints NIE works on KK NK2 and LP OB7.
TWRP2 for recovery. Search TRLTE and choose Sprint version.
Stable ROMs. Check android dev section. As stable as any of them can get, its all up to the users on how they use their device.

Absolutely yes. If you flash a stock touchwiz rom then all original apps & features work just like original out of the box. If you flash a custom Cyanogen mod rom or other AOSP rom, then expect issues as these type of roms do not include all of the original samsung features, apps, etc. I'm assuming you want to remain on the stock Sprint Samsung rom so visit this thread and flash one of those stock roms first. But before you begin, you will need to read up on how to root your phone and flash the TWRP recovery. You must flash a custom recovery before you can flash a stock or custom rom. Just look around in the development forums and you will find all the information you need.

tx_dbs_tx, I'm in the same boat w/ 4.4 currently installed.
From what little I've read I'm thinking 5.0 might be a wait (reports of memory leak & battery issues) in hopes that 5.1 will be a better option as I don't have time to fight with those kind of issues right now.
My plan was to root 4.4 and stay there for the next few(?) months.
Am I misinformed?
Thanks!

Its been a fewyrs since i last rooted a device ( Evo4gLTE) and Im having issues trying to root my Note 4. Installed Lollipop only because I found multiple sources saying it can be rooted with lollipop, but everytime i try to use autoroot , which i got from this forum, Odin regognizes but wont flash when i hit start. Should I go back to KK and try again?? Maybe im doing something wrong but I watched videos and re read the tutorials and no luck. Ive checked and double checked im using the right md5 file . Help??

[Q] Which rom is the best for LG G3?

hello,
I want to change me ROM (if it is advised).
I have the LG G3 D855 (3gb ram 32 gb) with stock firmware.
There are too many ROMs to choose from and no knowledge about it
Thank You

CloudyG3 is an excellent rom. Very fast and fluid

while searching for the cloudyg3 i found a post about the v20p.
someone said that the v20p is better than the cloudyG3.
what do you think?
thanks ahead.

He will probably update cloudyg3's base to v20p so no worries.

if he'll update. will i need to reinstall my phone data all over again?

Ive got a stock rooted 20P rom installed and it runs flawlessly, i think out of all the stock roms this is the most fluid and has the most free ram on average. Cloudys rom hasnt been updated since he used 20i as a base and theres been other stock releases since then, im not sure he will create a 20P based rom unless there is a demand for it and nothing has been stated on his rom thread.

My personal favourite is Paranoid Android 5.1. It's been quite stable so far and I'm definitely enjoying AOSP more than LG's stock ROM.

Probably not. But it's good to have some fresh installs now and then just to keep things clean and running smoothly.

This method is for LG G3 D855 only.
First you’ll have to downgrade to KitKat (I advise using the KDZ method): Here
Root your device: Here
Flash TWRP: Here
Download the necessary content: ROM / Gapps / SU
Then boot into recovery mode, do a factory reset, flash ROM --> Gapps --> SU. When thats done, boot your device up and you should be ready to go.

thank you,
i did all that but the PA has lots of bugs
i guess ill wait to better version
but thanks alot

i think that it depens on very much things... for examply.. i jumped to G3 from SGS3 and in G3 I miss a few things from SGS3 (full log, call/sms feature from log, brightness settings - in G3 is very stupid, etc) but in stock rom there are many things which i miss for example in CM ROMs... qslide, slowmo, multiwindow, qickmemo, timed send of SMS.... it depends very on ROM and what do you want.... i saw th "best" phones and want to combine it in G3 and I am afraid it would be long journey for me

Almost all AOSP /CM based rom have bugs in current stage.
If you are looking for most stable rom, LG stock V20P rom is what you want.
