ok guys im still rocking the g1. i have been ready for an upgrade for quite some time but havent seen a phone ive really liked. i have monster hands and would love a keyboard which is the only reason i dont have an n1 but with the difficulties there having rooting the g2 i might reconsider.
first off im not extremely tech savy. i have a+ but anyone who knows what it is knows its not that advanced, but i can atleast understand and follow instructions. so with this great forum and people who make things easy like cyan im not worried if things on the g2 might be a litle more complicated.
my question is IF they for some reason cant get permanent root or it takes a while to do so, what can't we do other than custom roms with the temp root we have now?
can or will we be able to have tether and cpu clock adjustment? i know i can change kernals and run higher oc on my g1 will things like that be possible on g2? can we delete the crapware?
hopefully this will help out some others wondering the same thing. like i said im no programmer but can follow instructions and even mess with linux in my spare time so things like formatting sd cards with ext etc. is not a big deal i just want to make sure if i get this phone im not going to hate life lol any help or info is greatly appreciated and please add as much things we can and cant do as you can think of so everyone can get an idea... hopefully it wont be a problem but im ready for one NOW and hoping you guys can ease my mind

Read the second post of this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804411
great thanks man. what about oc? im well aware at 800mhz it outperforms most of the 1gz phones out there and will be great on the battery, but it would be nice to see what the new cpu can do with the smaller 45nm design...
I wanna try to root my sisters Flipside, and I wanna know if there's any custom roms that can flashed onto this phone?
Did you ever find any? or have any luck with any other roms?
Nothing out as of the moment but there are at least 2 ppl I know of that are currently working on builds so something should be coming in the VERY near future!
Good to hear. I was honestly starting to think that nobody was ever going to create a rom for this phone.
That is good news. I look forward to seeing what is developed. This phone is such a slow pig.

I lol'd. Slow pig is an understatement. I can have a good build ready for testing if we can get a newer clockworkmod working. Any help would be appreciated towards that goal.

Wish I could be of some assistance, but I don't know what i'm doing. Hope you get something going soon!
I know this has already been brought up and the person how brought it up was pretty much laughed at, I want to port over the multi window feature to our t989's and I know that the screen is small compaired to the note 2 but, I would like it still. I know that it has been ported over for the s2 i9100 and it works great. I also know that the roms for that phone are not compatable with our phones and people have bricked their devicesby flashing those roms, so I will not try and brick My phone!!! I just want to know if there is anyone that can port this over maby from the I900? I would gladly pay for it. Or can someone atleast point me to a link. So that I can teach my self and test on some other phones before flashing to this one. I love the features of the note 2 but I love the size and feel of my s2 so I do not want to swich. I just want to get a few of the features. Any help would be great. Please any hard core devs out there, please help I dont want to just use the stuff you make I know it takes time and skill, but I am more than willing to pay for it. Thanks Kevin
So first you say YOU want to port it over, then go into why you want someone else to do it...I mean, help you.
Ok.
I know it's being worked on. Maybe you can wait patiently

Thanks smart ass! I do want to port it but I dont know where to start. Im also willing to brick a few other phones to learn, I also was asking if someone could do it for me and Ill pay them. The only reason I said both is because I want to learn and I also did not know if someone else was working on it or not. Because all the threads Iv read all people did was down the idea because of the s2 screen size. So I figured I would offer to pay someone to do it because of my lack off knowledge in porting and if nobody wanted to at least they could point me in the right direction to start. Was that really that hard to grasp?

If there is anyone out there who can ether port it and Ill pay for it !!!!!!!!!OR!!!!!!!!! help me in learning by sending me a link to a how to so I can try myself and test on a few other phones while learning. If so that would be great and please only people interested in helping need reply. I know I dont know how and I dont know if anyone is working on this and it is not a patience issue I would just like to learn and do it myself if nobody else is doing so. I would have thought that a person willing to learn and or pay for and not just rushing people so they can just get it for free would not get crap from people who have nothing better to do. So please save that for someone who cares and lets grow up, all I want is help not stupidity. Thanks

Ididnt mean any disrespect and im sorry for the way i responded but if you read his post it was kind of uncalled for i just was asking for help. Im trying to learn and it seems like most of the time there is some one who has something smart to say. I mean what good is a question and answer thread if the answers are like that? Its almost like some people just think that every one should know what their doing and if they dont they jump on the oppertunity to make them feel stupid. Im sorry for the way i handled it, i was childish in that and it was wrong. I will just brush it off next time. All i wanted was some help and i went about that situation the wrong way.

Thank you. An again Im very sorry for the way I handled my self and the situation. I was wrong and exsept that in full. Life is to short to let petty stuff like that bother you and it will not happen again.
Bro it happens. Dont worry about it. Nothing wrong with wanting to learn or wanting what you want when u want it. I think you handled it well. Thats just my opinion.
Has anyone found any tutorial videos on how to root, install custom recovery(TWRP looks tough to be entirely honest) and custom roms?
It always boosts my confidence to see someone successfully installing custom things.
Also I have never used LG products and have no idea how to do basic things such as getting in recovery etc. I have experience with samsung phones but nothing other than this:/ Would anyone be kind enough to redirect me or make some tutorial videos:$?
Kind regards
Also if you are interested please show your support to this topic

There are highly detailed and step-by-step guides on how to do it on the board. You know they work by people saying that it did and the lack of threads freaking out that their device is thrashed. Please be thankful for what you've got and just read what we put together.

Wow. I do not understand your negativity, this would only help newer users like me and keep people like you having less to critisize. As for the detailed guides which you mention either I have not stumbled across them(in which case you could point out but you dont seem to want to help from your initial responce) or we have a different understanding of detailed step by step guides.
Either way if you do not want to help I suggest not responding and being thankful that you have the option to cary on with your schedule, reading what you feel is more important.
Thank you for stopping by and pointing out your opinion

As far as resources it mainly comes from doing this a bunch and reading the thread, the way I did it was different than the twrp thread in a couple ways, I'll explain in a bit

Just do research instead of asking others to provide you with videos. If you learn it yourself and learn the ins and outs, it'll benefit you greatly when something inevitably goes wrong and you can figure it out yourself instead of relying heavily on others. As you move step by step in the guides, if something doesn't make sense to you, just Google it. It's not hard when you get used to doing it. Not trying to be mean or rude, but if you don't want to help yourself, we can't help you.

i will give him one thing though there is a pretty vital command missing in the twrp thread to get it to execute, or at least from how I did it on every other device
here is a link to a video on how to access recovery via the 3 button method.
I recorded it with my phone so I am sorry/not sorry about the quality but it gets the job done.
also i can relate with you on wanting to see it visually, even as somebody who knows what they are doing, especially things involving button combo's I have a harder time reading than if i just saw a 30 second video on how to do it.
http://youtu.be/uo3YfszOPsQ
as for the recovery flash that's a little more involved and i already have my device rooted so if i did it, it would be from CM, and i'm not entirely sure if that would cause a problem (i don't think so though because loki is cool like that)

Dude get over it you seem to have far too much time on your hands.
I didnt ask for anyone to make videos i asked if anyone knew of any videos. Since you didnt want to help or still dont get off the bloody topic. There is no point of doing what you did. If you wonna be arrogant im sure you have friends and family for that. Im fed up with your negativity. If you didnt want to be rude you could of just said im sorry i dont like sharing or helping noobs and moved on.
Thank you for annoying me 2day I wish you well. And when you get stuck on something and require other peoples help on a FORUM They all redirect you to google so you understand what a joke your responce is.
Ps didnt mean to be rude. But if you didnt know the meaning of a forum now you do.

I will repeat again.i did not ask for anyone to go out of their way and make videos i asked if anyone found videos. That by no means says i am not greatful for the small and perfect video you made. Rooting seems to be very easy its the recovery that I am having doubts about cause it seems to be a lengthy procedure. And requires what seems to be a ton of commands
I hate this thing that most of the custom roms(all on oreo) for the Lenovo p2 don't have VoLte, like a lot of nougat roms with VoLte have come out but none for oreo, can anyone atleast bring a fix like a flashable zip or something for oreo roms, i m not saying that the developers aren't doing anything( they are actually trying... nice job guys ) but this would be a boon for anybody with this beast of a phone.

Not that easy, that's not how volte works. It will take a while before volte is fixed. For now, try be patient ?

Don't hate if you can't fix it yourself. There is a reason why there isn't a fix yet. It is not that easy to do. And every developer is doing this in their freetime. Please show more respect and understanding instead of unproductive ranting on things that will be solved in time. If you're not happy with what we got, which is actually pretty amazing ,then go and change it yourself.

Well yeah I do agree on your point of not hating , and my intentions were not to rant but just request the developers for a fix, and I did mention that volte is now present in nougat(that was supposed to praise the developers not annoy them) and yeah sorry if anyone felt bad for the post, sorry.
yeah, i did sound a bit passive aggressive, even though that wasn't intended. We just have to be patient :S
